Five eighth-graders from the
Stuart Country Day School of the
Sacred Heart in Princeton recent-
ly were named winners in a na-
tional video game challenge.
The students Julia Weingaert-
ner of West Windsor, Sarah Lipp-
man of Pennington, Chloe Mario
of Princeton, Madeleine Lapuerta
of Montgomery and Emma
Froehlich of Montgomery were
five of the 28 middle school and
high school students who were
winners of the 2012 National
STEM Video Game Challenge.
They were the only girls who
won at the competition.
When I saw that all five of us
were the only girls out of all of
the winners, it felt really good,
Lippman said. I definitely didnt
expect to win, and I definitely did-
nt expect to be one of the only
girls there.
The girls games were two of
the 17 games chosen in total be-
tween middle school and high
school students. The Stuart Day
School sent 10 entries, and the
girls games were selected out of
the 3,700 entries that were submit-
ted this year.
The STEM Challenge is geared
toward improving STEM (science,
technology, engineering and
mathematics) education among
students and promoting youth in-
terest in STEM. It was created two
years ago as part of President
Obamas Educate to Innovate
campaign.
It required middle school and
high school students to create
computer-based video games on
any topic. There were eight sub-
categories under the middle
school category, and the one the
five girls competed in PBS KIDS
Ready to Learn Initiative chal-
lenged students to design games
to reinforce specific mathematic
skills in students ages 4 to 8.
This is the first year PBS KIDS
got involved with the challenge,
and the schools teams were cho-
sen as winners of the PBS KIDS
Ready to Learn Initiative category
for middle schoolers.
The school was also the only
school that had two teams of stu-
dents win.
Computer and math teacher for
the Middle and Upper schools and
technology integrator Alicia
Testa taught the students the ba-
sics of programming for the chal-
lenge and led students through
the entire creation process.
I was so impressed with all of
their hard work, she said. I
heard people say that it gave them
a chance to try something new
and it gave them a chance to build
teamwork because they really
needed to work together as a team
on brainstorming and what to do.
They had to listen to each others
voices and give themselves a
voice. It was great to see them all
work efficiently.

Ask Maura Tuffy if she was
nervous when she played the
piano at Carnegie Hall this
spring, and shell answer like
a seasoned professional.
No, not really. Ive gotten
used to it, the 15-year-old
freshman at Hopewell Valley
Central High School said.
Indeed, shes a veteran
Carnegie Hall performer, as
her presentation of
Beethovens 8th Piano Sonata
Pathetique Third Move-
ment, at the Golden Key Inter-
national Music Festival in
April, marked no less than her
fifth appearance at the hal-
lowed hall.
I just felt so much more
confident in myself than the
first time I did it, Tuffy said,
who initially played there
when she was just 13.
Such performances are all
in a days work for this young
musician, whose star is on the
rise. But classical piano is not
Mauras only talent, nor is
Carnegie Hall her only gig.
This July, she will spend two
weeks at the Eastman School
of Music Summer Jazz Stud-
ies program for high school
musicians at the University of
Rochester in New York.

JUNE 13-19, 2012 THE HOPEWELL SUN 5
which attracts applicants from
around the world, brings high
schoolers to its campus to learn
from its renowned jazz faculty.
Maura is one of only eight pi-
anists who have been chosen to
attend, and its unusual for a high
school freshman to win one of the
coveted spots, which usually go to
upperclassmen.
Im excited about it, Tuffy
said. Its work at a college level,
its really advanced and an ex-
tremely great program with the
top jazz professors in the world.
She practices her craft about two
hours a day during the school week
and even more on weekends.
Maura is a great kid with lots
of potential, and Im so excited to
have her in our program, CHS
teacher David Schwartzer said.
She has a rich musical back-
ground and is an accomplished
singer as well as piano player.
This spring, Tuffy was chosen
to represent Hopewell Valley at
the 2012 NJAJE Region II Junior
High Honors Jazz Ensemble for
the third year in a row.
Music is Mauras passion, and
we are very proud of her level of
commitment to all of her musical
endeavors, her dad, Tom Tuffy,
said. Its really impressive to see
how hard she works leading up to
her performances.
Beyond piano, she also sings in
the CHS womens ensemble, and
with the Trinity Episcopal choir
in Princeton, one of the oldest in
the country. The choir, which
sings from September to May, has
a rigorous schedule of practice
and weekend performances at
church services. They plan to
tour England next summer, in-
cluding a performance at St.
Pauls Cathedral, London.
Asked when she decided to pur-
sue music to this extent, Tuffy
said she started playing piano at
8, but said: I didnt know I would
go this far with it until fourth- or
fifth-grade. I did my first competi-
tion in fourth-grade, and decided
I wanted to compete more and be-
come a performer.
You might think her rigorous
music schedule would be exhaust-
ing. But Tuffy indicates to the
contrary.
Playing the piano really relax-
es me, she said. It really takes
me somewhere else, away from
school work, and things like
that.
In college, shed like to study
piano and voice. When shes not
doing music or school work, she
enjoys just hanging out with
friends. But she never tires of the
musical life.
I just love music, she said. I
love singing and I love the piano.

in our opinion
I
ts been about two months since
Atlantic Citys new slogan was un-
veiled. So, we have to ask: Will you
Do AC? Have you Done AC? Does
the new slogan Do Anything for
You?
We like it. We think it fits with what
has to be the citys future if theres
any hope of survival: transforming it-
self into something other than a gam-
bling destination.
You may have seen some of the com-
mercials. We like those, too. They de-
emphasize the gambling aspect. We
cant remember if theres even one
shot of a slot machine in the ads.
Instead, they highlight the beach,
nightlife, food, entertainment and
more.
If you want to gamble, you have
plenty of alternatives the closest
being the lottery at the convenience
store down the street.
Want to go to a casino? Theyre all
over the place these days.
Want to vacation in a place where
there are not only all kinds of gam-
bling options, but also world-class en-
tertainment, food and accommoda-
tions, not to mention a ton of other
non-gambling things to do? Well, those
options are more limited.
And thats what AC has to become. It
has a lot of the essentials in place,
such as numerous casinos/resorts
grouped together with others only a
short drive away. All that has been
lacking is a coordinated vision and ef-
fort to have everyone pull together in a
drive to make visiting and staying in
AC a true event similar to what a
trip to Vegas is.
Think about it, those of you who
have visited Las Vegas. Theres a feel-
ing about that city. Theres an attitude.
Theres an anticipation as your vaca-
tion is about to begin.
And admit it: You do things in Vegas
you wouldnt do elsewhere. Or at least
you should.
Now the challenge is for AC to cre-
ate that same vibe so that people really
want to Do AC.
Will you Do AC?
The citys new slogan is a step in the right direction
Just do it
Atlantic Citys new slogan is a winner.
Now it will be up to the city, the casi-
nos and the tourism efforts to make
sure that Doing AC is a desirable
thing to do.
The following items were taken from re-
ports on file with the Hopewell Police De-
partment:
Officer Mandy Grey took a car burglary
report on May 29. Sometime overnight,
someone entered an unlocked car parked
in the driveway of a Maple Lane home and
removed an iPhone, prescription medicine
and a wallet containing $100. The loss was
estimated at $750. The wallet was later
found by a neighbor discarded in the
street.
Officer Mandy Grey took a car burglary
report on May 29. Sometime overnight,
someone entered an unlocked car parked
in the driveway of a Maple Lane home and
removed a change purse containing $10 in
quarters.
Officer Lincoln Karnoff took a car bur-
glary report on May 29. Sometime
overnight, someone entered an unlocked
car parked in the driveway of a Linden
Lane home and removed an iPhone, head-
phones and a wallet. The loss was estimat-
ed at $520. The wallet was later found by a
neighbor discarded in the street.
Officer Lincoln Karnoff took a car bur-
glary report on May 29. Sometime
overnight, someone entered two unlocked
cars parked in the driveway of a Maple
Lane home and removed $20 in cash.
Officer Robert Sparano responded to a
Birch Street address for the report of a car
burglary on May 29. Sometime overnight
someone entered an unlocked car parked
in the driveway of the home. An iPod val-
ued at $250 and $15 in change was taken
from the car.
Officer Lincoln Karnoff took a car bur-
glary report on May 30. Sometime between
7 p.m. on May 28 and 9 a.m. on May 29,
someone entered an unlocked car on Lin-
den Lane and removed $20 in cash.
Detective Daniel McKeown was on a
DWI patrol when he observed a Ford pick-
up truck tailgating another vehicle along
Route 29 on May 26. McKeown says he
stopped the truck and spoke with the driv-
er, who had the odor of alcohol on his
breath. After performing field-sobriety
tests, the man was placed under arrest and
transported to police headquarters for pro-
cessing. He was charged with drunken
driving, reckless driving and following too
closely and was later released to a relative.
This case will be heard in municipal court.
police report
Minds and Manners Preschool opens at
the Rambling Pines Day Camp, which is a
preschool that educates the heart as well as
the mind. Minds and Manners is a new
name in the area, but the staff has been
teaching in the area since 1993.
Bonnie Martin, formerly of Hopewell
Country Day School will be heading Minds
and Manners, which is located at the Coun-
try Day Schools former location in the
classrooms of Rambling Pines on Route
518, just off Route 31 at the Hopewell/East
Amwell border.
Minds and Manners offers developmen-
tally appropriate programs for full or half
day, with flexible schedules for children
ages 2 1/2 to 6.
Call to schedule a tour (609) 649-4214. You
can also email for more information at mind-
sandmanners@comcast.net or check out our
page on www.mindsandmanners. com.
Minds and Manners Preschool scheduling tours
made up one team and both were
awarded for their game, Animal
Inequalities, which incorporates
a shark whose mouth can become
a greater than, less than or equal
to sign. The shark prowls around
the game in search of the correct
number of fish to eat, which each
player guides with the arrows.
We were brainstorming ideas
in class, and Sarah came up with
the idea of a shark who wanted to
eat a larger number of fish be-
cause thats how we learned it
when we were in elementary
school, Weingaertner said.
Mario, Lapuerta and Froehlich
were a part of the other team
and they created a game, Match
Racing Mania. Here, the player
drives a car and is lost on the way
home. In order to get home, the
player approaches a series of in-
tersections where he must solve
math problems to advance closer
to home. Once the problems are
correctly solved, the car takes the
player home safely.
We were talking about a lot of
different ideas for games,
Froehlich said. We had an ice
cream idea, and then we just
thought the car game would be
the best because theres a lot of
car games now, like Super Mario,
so we thought that itd be good to
have a game that could appeal to
both boys and girls.
To create the games, Testa in-
troduced the program, Scratch, to
the students. Scratch is designed
to help middle school students
learn programming concepts, and
takes away the strife of coding so
the students only have to focus on
the logic and design of the game.
Basically, Scratch does mini
methods, and all the girls have to
do is put them together in the
right area and they can change
them, like how far to move, Testa
said. What Scratch does, is it gets
away from the syntax of program-
ming. It allows them to focus on
the logic of the games and, to me,
thats the real programming.
Once you know an an statement,
an or statement, or looping, and
you understand conditions, you
can take that and learn any lan-
guage.
Testa also explained how the
girls did the majority of the work
without her help, which was a lit-
tle hard to get used to.
I just basically walked around
and explained the programming
as they got stuck, she said. It
was very hard for me, at first, to
kind of let go of the classroom
and just let them learn program-
ming on the fly and help them
when they needed it. But, once we
got into that groove, it was very
rewarding because all of the ah-
ha moments were happening.
Overall, it took the girls two
months to create the games. Testa
worked with the girls throughout
the duration of three class peri-
ods each week, with a total of 21
classes. The girls also worked on
their projects outside of classes
during their study halls, and even
brought them home.
All of the girls agreed that they
genuinely enjoyed the competi-
tion and are probably going to
enter into the STEM Challenge
again for next years high school
category. Until then, Testa made
sure to note that she will be con-
tinuing her efforts to teach pro-
gramming and will definitely be
entering more students from the
eighth grade into the competition
next year.
They havent seen the last of
us, she said. And, Im hoping
that more of the Upper schoolers
get involved as well.

butions to the Hopewell Valley

at Princetons TPC Jasna Polana.
It will include cocktails,
hors doeuvres, dinner and danc-
ing.
Tickets are $125 each and char-
itable donations are welcome.
The evenings proceeds benefit

ported nearly every community
event and organization in
Hopewell Valley.
Through special fundraising
events at The Pennington Market,
donated foods and services, and
permitting groups to conduct
fundraising efforts at the market,
the Rothwells has been an inte-
gral part of the communitys vi-
brant success.
