Group bringing safety to town
he MOMS Club of
Hopewell Valley is spear-
heading an effort to bring
the nationally recognized
Safety Town educational pro-
gram to students in the dis-
trict.
Already established in near-
by communities such as
Hamilton and Ewing, Safety
Town is a realistic, child-sized
town with miniature streets,
buildings, crosswalks and
working traffic lights.
Safety Town offers an au-
thentic setting for bicycle,
pedestrian and vehicular safe-
ty instruction. The one-week
summer program offered to
rising kindergartners is direct-
ed by YMCA staff members,
with assistance from local
youth volunteers, and features
visits by police, firefighters,
paramedics and other local
first responders.
MOMS Club members re-
cently kicked off fund raising
with a booth at the Hopewell
Harvest Fair, where a minia-
ture Safety Town building was
on display.
Other fund-raising efforts
have included an electronics
recycling drive and a charity
Residents
want
their say
Hopewell Township voters
have spoken loudly: they want a
say in the municipalitys spend-
ing of $4.1 million on additional
capacity at the Ewing-Lawrence
Sewerage Authority.
The township committee on
Nov. 28 approved an agreement
with ELSA for up to 266,666 gal-
lons of sewage a day to be treated
at the regional authoritys treat-
ment plant. That capacity is to be
paid for with a $4.1 million gener-
al-obligation bond that would cost
each taxpayer an additional
$33.75 a year, based on a $450,000
home.
The Citizens for Tax Choice,
however, felt residents should
have their say on that general-ob-
ligation bond, and initiated a peti-
tion to get 667 signatures to get
the bond placed on a public refer-
endum.
That petition garnered 1,700
signatures in 18 days, and Citi-
zens for Tax Choice chairman
Robert Kecskes said: Based on
the volume of calls and emails we
received, we could have probably
gained several hundred more
over the next few days.
It was a pretty interesting ex-
perience, Kecskes said. I was
very surprised that the people
were as in tune to the issue as
Members of the MOMS Club of Hopewell Valley earned money for the
Safety Town project by cleaning up litter throughout town, including on
Burd Street and Yard Road in Pennington. Pictured from left are Aileen
Matticoli, Kate Fullerton, Erika Wojciechowiecz and Jackie Flannery.

There is still time to enroll chil-
dren ages 6 months to 24 months
in Har Sinai Temples Early
Childhood Centers winter-ses-
sion classes.
The temple offers two classes:
I've Got Rhythm, created for
children ages 6 months to 14
months, and Toddler Time To-
gether, a parent-and-child expe-
rience for children ages 15
months to 24 months.
Both classes begin the first
week of January and run
through early March at the Har
Sinai campus, 2421 Pennington
Road at Denow Road West.
The sessions begin Jan. 4 and
run through March 7 on nine
Wednesdays from 9:15 to 10 a.m.,
at a total cost of $110.
In Toddler Time Together,
parents and child participate in
hands-on activities designed to
enhance early learning.
Playtime, art, music, gym and
snacks figure into the Thursday
morning sessions that are held
9:30-10:30 a.m. from Jan. 5
through March 8. The cost of the
10 sessions is $150.
Both classes are open to all
children. Sign up now by calling
Magda Reyes at (609) 730-8100 or
emailing her at
magdahst@aol.com.
Noted artist Mel Leipzig will
exhibit a collection of his paint-
ings, entitled Mothers, at the Pen-
nington Schools Silva Gallery of
Art.
The exhibition opens on Jan. 6,
and continues through Feb. 2.
Gallery hours are Monday to
Thursday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., or by
appointment.
A closing reception with the
artist will be held on Feb. 2, from
6 to 8 p.m.
For this exhibition, Leipzig has
assembled many paintings of
mothers with their children he
has made over the years.
Leipzig has dedicated his ca-
reer to painting people in their
environments. He is fascinated
with the seemingly accidental
ways in which figures relate to
their chosen surroundings, and
his compositions reflect the psy-
chological connection that he ob-
serves between the two.
Represented by Gallery
Henoch in New York, Leipzig has
had more than 40 solo exhibi-
tions, including a retrospective at
the New Jersey State Museum.
He has been presented numerous
awards, including a Fulbright
grant, a Louis Comfort Tiffany
award and four grants from the
New Jersey State Council on the
Arts.
In 1996, he received a grant
from the National Endowment for
the Arts, and in 2003, he was se-
lected for a Purchase Award by
the American Academy of the
Arts and Letters. The National
Academy of Design elected
Leipzig to membership in 2006.
His work is included in the col-
lections of the Whitney Museum
of American Art, the Cooper He-
witt Museum for the Decorative
Arts, the New Jersey State Muse-
um, the Noyes Museum, the Yale
Art Gallery, the University of
Pennsylvania and the White
House, among others.
Leipzig is a professor of art
history and fine art at Mercer
County Community College. His
work and his four-color process
were featured in the November
2011 issue of ARTnews magazine.
All events and exhibitions at
the Silva Gallery are free and
open to the public.

gallery director Dolores Eaton at

Exhibition to feature paintings
Temple still accepting kids for winter classes
they were. I guess we explained it
pretty well in our letters.
Mayor James Burd said on Dec.
21, however, that the township
would be making a strong educa-
tion effort of its own on the ELSA
agreement and its ramifications
before the referendum.
People need a full understand-
ing before they go to the ballot
box, he said. I understand peo-
ples thoughts with regard to
taxes, but do we want to control
our destiny, or do we want a devel-
oper to come in and say that
Hopewell is not meeting its af-
fordable housing requirements
and that they will, but need the
sewerage capacity?
The petition was submitted to
the township clerk on Dec. 19,
and if at least 667 of the signa-
tures on the petition are authenti-
cated, the bond will be put
on a referendum sometime next
year.
Township Administrator Paul
Pogorzelski said the first $1 mil-
lion payment must be made for
the contract with ELSA to be
valid.
We cannot borrow the money
if the petition is successful, he
said in November.
The signatures were pretty
easy to get, Kecskes said. Peo-
ple were very willing to get in-
volved. I didnt know the interest
was this great.
The group had offered to drive
the petition to residents who
could not get out to sign it, and
Kecskes said about 100 residents
took the group up on its offer.
It was a small fraction of the
signatures on the petition, he
said.
Burd, meanwhile, had said at
the Nov. 28 meeting that the ELSA
agreement resulted in a rate of
about $15 per gallon of sewerage
compared with about $67 a gallon
were the existing sewer plant to
be upgraded.
Committeewoman Vanessa
Sandom noted at the meeting,
however, that excess sewerage ca-
pacity the township is paying for
could be taken by developers any-
way, and What we dont want to
do is encourage development to
pay off a debt.
Burd also said that without
the additional capacity, the town-
ship could eventually be subject
to a builders remedy if a develop-
er wanted to build affordable
housing in the township, but
did not have the sewerage capaci-
ty.
He said in a recent letter to the
editor: I voted yes (on the ordi-
nance) rather than rolling the
dice and taking an irrevocable
chance of having a builder bring
another development the size of
Brandon Farms into Hopewell
Township and see our school
taxes explode.
Sandom also voted against the
ordinance because it had not been
made clear to the public that the
agreement would be paid for
through a general-obligation
bond.
Township Attorney Steven
Goodell said at the Nov. 28
meeting the township must first
reserve flow at the authority be-
fore it determines what the
projects would look like, what
the costs would be and how to as-
sess those costs to the various
users.
Burd said the township is nego-
tiating with businesses in the
Pennington Circle who need the
capacity, in order for those busi-
nesses to pay their share of the
agreement and ease the tax in-
crease.
Even though a small fraction
of the current residents of
Hopewell would be served by
ELSA, the majority of the
Hopewell Township Committee
believes everybody should
pay for it, Kecskes said in a let-
ter, noting that the petition
effort was truly democracy in ac-
tion.
Your encouragement was
tremendously uplifting, he
wrote.
Harvey Lester, another CFTC
member added: No effort was
ever made by the township com-
mittee majority to inform the
township residents that this was
to be a general-obligation sewer
bond, where all taxpayers would
have to pay for this extra capacity,
not just the users. Now, thanks to
the forthcoming referendum
made possible by our petition,
residents have the opportunity to
be properly informed about all as-
pects of this complex sewer bond
issue.
Burd said the ordinance was
on its second public reading, but
Sandom agreed with resident
Jewel Latham that the governing
body had not adequately in-
formed the public that the bond
was general obligation.

Several club members participat-
ed in the Friends of
Hopewell Valley Open Space's
Clean Communities Clean-up
Day on Nov. 12, where they
earned cash for the Safety
Town project by picking up litter
along Hopewell Township
roads.
We enjoyed combining two
great causes: cleaning up
our community and raising
money to build Safety Town,
said club president Aileen
Matticoli. On the next cleanup
day in April, we plan to triple
our participation and money
raised.
The club is sponsoring its
biggest fundraising event to
date: an open play date for
Hopewell Valley kids at the
popular indoor playground
Bounce U in West
Windsor.
It's a great place for kids to
play, jump and get their energy
out during winter break, Matti-
coli said. All members of the
community are welcome; we'll
have the place to ourselves and
there will be plenty of refresh-
ments.
Those interested in purchasing
tickets to the Bounce U event
should email momsclubtitusville
hopewell@yahoo.com.
Information is also available
on Safety Town sponsorship
opportunities for local
businesses, which helps to pay for
the maintenance, new
construction and ongoing
operating expenses of the pro-
gram.

in our opinion
Posted on sun news
T
his is a week for reflection at
Elauwit Media. A time to take
a look back at the previous 12
months. What went right. What went
wrong. What we can do better.
This time last year, we had seven
newspapers. Now, we have 13. We
added Suns in Washington Township,
Tabernacle and Shamong in South
Jersey.
And we launched our first three
newspapers in Central Jersey: in
Lawrence, Montgomery and Hopewell.
While the growth is great, it also
presents challenges.
Weve brought new people on board.
Weve had to restructure our news-
room.
Weve had to deal with logistical is-
sues that happen every time we
launch a new newspaper.
But the response has been terrific.
We want to thank all of you who have
welcomed your Sun into your home.
Every week, you send us news items,
photos and suggestions about how we
can improve our newspapers. For that,
we are grateful.
This week also is a time to look
ahead. In next weeks editions, we will
feature interviews with local leaders,
who will offer their take on what 2012
will bring to your hometown and
school district.
For us, the early part of the year
looks like it will be another growth
spurt, as we expand our operations in
Central Jersey.
Later in the year? Well, well proba-
bly grow again. But, right now, were
not certain where and when that
growth will take place.
We promise to do our best to contin-
ue to bring you local news not found
elsewhere.
We always welcome your feedback
and ideas, and hope that you wont be
shy in sharing your thoughts with us
as we continue to grow and serve more
communities.
Another busy year
Thank you for helping us continue to grow
A busy 2011
This year saw Elauwit Media almost
double its number of newspapers.
Next year promises to bring more
growth. We thank you for your contin-
ued support.
Mover, accidental shootings and puppies
Two men accidentally
shottwice
A father and son were accidentally shot
while hunting in Jackson, then were acci-
dentally shot again while talking to an offi-
cial about the first incident, according to
the Asbury Park Press.
The official to whom they were talking
was also hit during that second round of
pellet fire.
But Larry Ragonese, a spokesman for
the state Department of Environmental
Protection, hastened to point out that this
kind of accident almost never happens.

Lots of dogs, puppies
found in local home
More than 50 dogs and puppies have
been found living in squalor in a Mon-
mouth County home, according to the As-
bury Park Press.
The approximately 800-square-foot home
in Spring Lake Heights seems to have been
the site of an illegal puppy selling opera-
tion, according to Victor Buddy Amato,
chief law enforcement officer of the Mon-
mouth County Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals.
Borough health officials and animal pro-
tection advocates were examining the Jer-
sey Avenue home on Tuesday.
It is horrendous inside there. Its not fit
for animals let alone for humans, Amato
told the Press.
The urine stench. The feces. It is un-
bearable. Yard space for the dogs meas-
ured 20 feet by 20 feet.

Professional mover kept some
of the things he hauled
Police say David L. Harris Jr. had a
unique method of stealing possessions
from peoples homes.
Victims would just call him up and pay
him to come in and load the things into his
moving van, according to The Times of
Trenton.
The 22-year-old Hamilton resident works
for a local moving company. But police say
he would not deliver all the goods particu-
larly some of the jewelry.

The following items come from
reports on file with the Hopewell
Police Department:
An 18-year-old Ewing woman
was charged with failure to ob-
serve a traffic signal, after a
three-car accident Dec. 13 at 4:35
p.m. Police said the woman was
travelling south along Penning-
ton Road in a Toyota Camry when
she attempted to make a left turn
on to Denow Road, but hit a
northbound Dodge Caravan.
The impact caused the Camry
to hit a Chevy Trailblazer that
was stopped at the light at Denow
Road.
Police said signs are posted
along Pennington Road prohibit-
ing left turns.
Police said a 17-year-old passen-
ger in the Camry was taken to an
area hospital with a complaint of
neck pain. She was treated and re-
leased. Traffic was detoured
around the intersection for about
an hour during the accident in-
vestigation.
A 59-year-old Lambertville
woman was charged with drunk-
en driving on Dec 9 at 11:15 p.m.
Police said an officer stopped a
car for weaving in and out of its
lane while traveling along Route
29. A police sergeant spoke with
the driver, who allegedly had the
odor of alcohol on her breath.
After police performed field-so-
briety tests, the driver was placed
under arrest and transported to
police headquarters for process-
ing. In addition to the drunken-
driving charge, she was also
charged with refusal to submit to
a breath test, reckless driving and
failure to keep right. The driver
was later released to a relative
and her case will be heard in mu-
nicipal court.
A 19-year-old Pennington man
was charged with criminal mis-
chief, disorderly conduct and an
ordinance violation for discharg-
ing fireworks Dec. 8. A follow-up
investigation revealed the man
had thrown a firecracker into a
Quick Chek store July 6, causing
damage to the floor of the store. A
quantity of perishable food had to
be destroyed due to smoke dam-
age. The was processed at police
headquarters, and the case will
be heard in municipal court.
A 19-year-old man was taken
into custody at his home on an
outstanding Mercer County Supe-
rior Court bench warrant Dec. 7
at 1:20 p.m. The man was
processed at police headquarters
and was later remanded to the
Mercer County Correction Cen-
ter on the no-bail warrant.
A 41-year-old Elizabeth woman
was charged with driving an un-
safe vehicle after she lost the driv-
er-side rear tire on her 2000 Chevy
van Dec. 15 at 12:28 p.m. Police
said the woman was driving
along West Broad Street when the
tire came off and struck a park
bench and a building. The
benchs legs were broken and the
building suffered damage. The
van suffered damage to its axle
and brake drum.
A 20-year-old Pennington man
was charged with receiving
stolen property Dec. 8., after an
investigation revealed that he had
pawned jewelry stolen from a
Pennington Borough residence
on Nov. 8. He was processed at po-
lice headquarters and was later
released after posting $2,500 bail.
The case will be forwarded to
the Mercer County Prosecutors
Office for review.
A 46-year-old Lambertville

POLICE REPORTS
DECEMBER 28-JANUARY 3, 2012 THE HOPEWELL SUN 9
The Hopewell Township Police
Department has investigated nu-
merous complaints regarding
fake cashier checks being re-
ceived by residents who thought
they were dealing with a legiti-
mate buyer or seller of goods.
Some people also have received
emails or phone calls telling them
that they won a lottery or sweep-
stakes, but that they needed to de-
posit this cashier check and send
money to a foreign country to re-
ceive their prize. Police said
these are most likely scams and
advise residents:
Do not cash or deposit a
cashier's check from someone you
do not know.
You may be held responsible
for a fake check that bounces.
Speak with a bank representative
before attempting to deposit a
check into your account if you
suspect the check may be a fake.
Never wire funds to a distant
buyer, via Western Union or any
other carrier.
If possible, try to deal with
local buyers and sellers only.
Never give out personal finan-
cial information such as bank ac-
count numbers or Social Security
numbers.
Police warn residents
of cashier check scam
