District
to stay
within
tax cap
By KATHLEEN DUFFY
The Hopewell Sun
The Hopewell Valley Regional
School District will stay within
the 2 percent tax levy cap man-
dated by Gov. Christie for the
state, which will be a plus for
taxpayers, according to school
officials. This is the third year of
the tax cap, said business admin-
istrator Robert Colavita.
While expenditures are up 5
percent, the tax levy increase is
only up 1.3 percent, he said.
A referendum would have
been necessary had the district
gone over the mandatory limit.
Its important to note that the
district has gone to great lengths
to bring budgets below the
mandatory tax levy cap, he said
State aid has increased 24 per-
cent, he said. The budget this
year is just shy of $76 million,
with the largest part of the budg-
et going toward teachers
salaries. Homeowners in
Hopewell Township and
Hopewell Borough can expect a
6-cent tax increase, while Pen-
nington Borough residents can
anticipate a 2-cent rise, per $100
of a homes assessed value.
We have the lowest tax-levy
increase in 26 years, said super-

Thats something were happy
about.
The levy goes from $68,085,631
this school year to $68,993,917
next year an increase of just a
little more than $900,000. Pro-
grams within the school district
will not be cut this year.
Were maintaining all levels
of programing, he said. This
will enable us to really keep all
the good things were doing.
Board president Lisa Wolff is
enthusiastic about the amount
of aid the district will get for
2012-12, as compared to prior
years.
Were not cutting any pro-
grams, she said. Thats whats
really impressive. There wont
be any increases in class sizes ei-
ther.
School facilities throughout
the district will be receiving nec-
essary upgrades, said Smith. As
part of the improvement
process, Central High School
and Hopewell Elementary
School will receive roof repairs.
Timberlane Middle School will
get a heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning unit upgrade.
We have a number of old
buildings. Some of them are
about 90 years old, Smith said.
Weve been really working to
increase their efficiency, make
sure theyre adequately main-
tained, and make improvements
where possible to decrease our
carbon footprint.
Improvements within the dis-
trict have already been in the
works. In a message to commu-
nity members posted on the dis-
tricts website on Feb. 17 regard-
ing the budget process, Smith
wrote, This year, we imple-
mented a number of improve-
ments throughout the district.
These include a new high school
schedule, a consistent elemen-
tary schedule, online curricu-
lum tools, common assessments
that all students take and activi-
ties to provide our exceptional
staff with the tools they need to
achieve our goals.
A tentative budget was ap-
proved on Feb. 27. Goals outlined
in the tentative budget for the
year include providing accurate
information to the public as
soon as possible, reviewing and
revising the curriculum, and of-
fering opportunities for input
from the community.

Retired Bishop John C. Reiss,
who served as the eighth bishop
of the Diocese of Trenton, died
Sunday, March 4, at Morris Hall
in Lawrenceville, at age 89. Reiss
held the distinction of being the
only priest born in the Trenton
Diocese to serve as both an auxil-
iary bishop and then bishop in
his home diocese.
All funeral ceremonies were to
be held at St. Mary of the As-
sumption Cathedral, Trenton.
Reiss was born on May 13, 1922,
in Red Bank, one of 11 children of
Alfred and Sophia Telljohann
Reiss. Of his five brothers and
five sisters, one sister also pur-
sued a vocation to religious life as
a Sister of Mercy.
The future bishop studied two
years for the priesthood in The
Catholic University of America,
Washington, D.C., entering Im-
maculate Conception Seminary,
Darlington, in 1941. His teacher in
dogmatic theology at the univer-
sity was Msgr. George W. Ahr
who, several years later, became
the seventh Bishop of Trenton.
Reiss was ordained a priest
May 31, 1947, in old St. Marys
Cathedral, Trenton, by Bishop
William A. Griffin. The newly or-
dained Reiss first assignment
was as curate in Sacred Heart
Parish, Trenton, where one of his
duties was ministering to in-
mates in Trenton State Prison.
In April 1949, he was trans-
ferred to Holy Spirit Parish,
Perth Amboy, and, later, to St. An-
thony Parish, Trenton.
Reiss returned to Catholic Uni-
versity in 1950 to earn a doctoral
degree in canon law. Three years
later, in 1953, he was appointed
secretary to Bishop George W.
Ahr and master of ceremonies, a
position he held for the next 10
years.
In 1962, Reiss was named ad-
ministrator of St. Francis of As-
sisium Parish, Trenton, before
being named pastor in 1965.
In 1963, Reiss was named Offi-
cialis of the Diocesan Tribunal.
In October of that year, Pope Paul
VI named him a monsignor.
On Oct. 25, 1967, Reiss was ap-
pointed auxiliary bishop of the
Diocese of Trenton by Pope Paul
VI. He was consecrated a bishop
Dec. 12, 1967, in St. Mary of the
Assumption Cathedral by Ahr.
On Feb. 5, 1969, Reiss was trans-
ferred from pastor of St. Francis
Parish, Trenton, to pastor of Sa-
cred Heart Parish, South Plain-
field. At the same time, he was
named episcopal vicar for Mid-
dlesex County and vicar general
of the diocese in charge of spiri-
tual matters and continued as Of-
ficialis of the diocese.
For the next 11 years, Reiss as-
sisted Ahr in Episcopal ceremonies
and by administering with confir-
mation in ceremonies throughout
the eight-county diocese.
In 1980, Pope John Paul II ap-
pointed Reiss the eighth bishop of
Trenton, succeeding Ahr, who
headed the diocese for 30 years.
Reiss was installed as April
22,1980, taking as his motto the
words of his patron, St. John the
Evangelist, found in the apostles
first epistle, Let Us Love One An-
other.
In 1982, Reiss ordained Bishop
Edward U. Kmiec as auxiliary
bishop of Trenton. Ten years
later, he congratulated Kmiec on
his appointment as the bishop of
Nashville, Tenn.
One of the first major events
for Reiss came a year after his in-
stallation, when he led the cele-
bration of the 100th anniversary
of the establishment of the Dio-
cese of Trenton, followed soon
after, on Nov. 24, 1981, by the divi-
sion of the diocese upon the es-
tablishment of the Diocese of the
Metuchen by Pope John Paul II.
The new diocese would be com-
prised of Middlesex, Somerset,
Hunterdon and Warren counties.
After reaching the mandatory
retirement age of 75, Reiss re-
signed as bishop of Trenton on
June 30, 1997, and was succeeded
by Bishop John M. Smith, who
had been bishop of the Diocese of
Pensacola-Tallahassee, Fla.

in our opinion
F
or a state and nation that have
suffered through devastating
economic times, every scrap of
good news is welcomed. Last week, we
received some good news.
The governors office announced
that, according to data tracked by Site
Selection magazine, the number of
new and expanded corporate facilities
in the state jumped last year. Jumped
quite a bit, in fact.
The data showed that 76 projects
were recorded in 2011, compared to
only 23 in 2010.
On top of that, the governors office
cited Rutgers University economist
Joseph Senecas findings that the state
added about 60,000 new private jobs
over the past two years.
That the news was released from the
governors office means that, of
course, the governor is taking a lot of
credit for these accomplishments. And
maybe he should. Love him or hate
him, Christie has made difficult deci-
sions regarding taxation and spend-
ing. Regardless of whether this boost
in economic activity is a direct result
of those decisions or mere coinci-
dence, theres no denying that the
economy is looking up.
Of particular note are the qualifica-
tions of what a new and expanded
corporate facility actually is. It is a
project that must create at least 50 full-
time regular jobs. It must involve at
least 20,000 new square-feet or involve
at least $1 million for construction,
land and building. And, retail shop-
ping and public-sector institutions do
not count.
So, those 76 projects carry some
weight. Some private-sector weight.
They are creating private-sector jobs
that will be around for awhile.
That leads to greater employment
and increased spending from the pri-
vate sector. Which, of course, spurs
the economy even more.
The state and national economies
are far from being out of the woods.
But this kind of news shows that they
are getting closer.
An improving economy?
This study suggests that indeed there is at least some good news
More jobs for New Jersey
A recent magazine study shows that
New Jersey had a banner year in 2011
when it came to attracting new and
expanded corporate facilities. That
means more jobs and a stronger
economy.
Education Foundation
working to raise iPad funds
Hopewell residents following the budget
referendums of the past several years
know that our school system has been
under significant budgetary pressure. In
these difficult times, it is the non-core as-
pects of our kids education that are typi-
cally the ones hit hardest by budgetary re-
strictions. One of those areas under pres-
sure is technology.
Many of our children are fortunate
enough to live in households where iPads,
iPods, PCs and laptops are readily avail-
able for their school projects, and some of
you probably rely on your children to teach
you how to use your phones and other
gadgets.
But not all of the children have access to
these tools at home.
Even with access at home, there are a
host of applications and uses of iPads as a
teaching tool in the classroom that cannot
be achieved without iPads in the hands of
students in the classroom.
With no room in the budgets for these
purchases, other ways must be found to
plug the gap and ensure that all of
Hopewells students have access to the
technologies that are changing the future.
We are grateful that one organization
has recognized this need and is working to
address it.
The Hopewell Valley Educational Foun-
dation has launched a drive The Power
of 100 with the goal of raising sufficient
funds to purchase a full classroom set of
iPads for each of the six schools in the
Hopewell Valley Regional School District.
To meet this goal, the drive seeks 100
donors (individuals or families) who
can make pledges of $100 or more by
March 31.
Fellow Valley businesses are also en-
couraged to become part of The Power of
100 by making a tax-deductible donation of
$250 or more. Those who can join in The
Power of 100 will have the satisfaction of
knowing that their contribution is putting
technology in the hands of students who
might otherwise be left behind.
While this campaign is seeking gifts of
$100 or more, gifts at any level are welcome
by the HVEF.
We salute the HVEF and those helping
HVEF reach this goal.
Our children will be better for it.

The following items can be
found on file with the Hopewell
Township Police Department:
Officer James Rosso responded
to Route 546 and Route 579 for the
report of a tractor-trailer striking
a traffic light post on Feb. 28. The
tractor-trailer drove away from
the intersection and was later
stopped on I-95 just into Pennsyl-
vania. Rosso spoke with the driv-
er, who stated that he didnt real-
ize his trailer struck the light post
while making a right turn on to
Route 546 from Route 579.
The light post shifted, but was
still functional.
The driver received a motor-ve-
hicle summons for careless driv-
ing. He also received a motor-ve-
hicle summons for a weight limit
violation since Route 579 has a 4-
ton weight limit.
These charges will be heard in
municipal court.
Detective Kevin Zorn charged
an Old Bridge man with burglary
and theft on Feb. 23 for a residen-
tial burglary which occurred on
Wilfred Avenue on Jan. 4. The
man is currently lodged at the
Hunterdon County Jail on
charges from other jurisdictions.
This case will be forwarded to the
Mercer County Prosecutors Of-
fice for review.
On Feb. 26, Officer Gerard In-
fantino stopped a car along Route
31 after a computer check re-
vealed that the registered owner
had a suspended drivers license
and two outstanding traffic war-
rants for his arrest. Officer Infan-
tino spoke with the driver and
confirmed he was the registered
owner of the vehicle. The driver
was placed under arrest and
transported to police headquar-
ters for processing. He was
charged with driving while sus-
pended and failure to inspect,
which will be heard in municipal
court.
He was released on his own re-
cognizance on the outstanding
warrants out of Greenwich and
Clinton townships.
Officer Christopher Vaccarino
investigated a car parked in the
Lukoil parking lot on Feb. 27. Vac-
carino says he observed the front
door of a car open, the headlights
dimming, an open beer can on the
dashboard and a person slumped
over the front seat of the car. Vac-
carino woke the cars occupant,
who whom he says had the odor
of alcohol on his breath. After
performing field-sobriety tests,
the Hopewell resident was placed
under arrest and transported to
police headquarters for process-
ing.
He was charged with drunken
driving, refusal to submit to a
breath test, possession of an open
container of alcohol, reckless
driving and failure to produce
credentials.
He was later released to a rela-
tive, and this case will be heard in
municipal court.
Officer William Gaskill investi-
gated a car parked in front of the
Circle Cleaners on March 3.
Gaskill says he spoke with the
driver, who had the odor of alco-
hol on his breath. After perform-
ing field-sobriety tests, the Delran
resident was placed under arrest
and transported to police head-
quarters for processing. He was
charged with drunken driving
and reckless driving, and was
later released to a relative. The
case will be heard in municipal
court.
Officer Gerard Infantino
stopped a car along Route 31 after
observing it traveling at 61 mph
in a 45 mph zone on March 3. Fur-
ther investigation found the driv-
er of the car in possession of a
metal pipe containing marijuana.
A passenger was also found in
possession of a glass pipe con-
taining marijuana.
Also found in the car were bot-
tles of beer and two jugs contain-
ing orange juice and vodka.
Three men were subsequently
placed under arrest and trans-
ported to police headquarters for
processing.
One was charged with the pos-
session of marijuana (under 50
grams), possession of drug para-
phernalia, underage possession
of alcohol, speeding, open con-
tainer and possession of CDS in a
motor vehicle.
Another was charged with the
possession of marijuana (under
50 grams), possession of drug
paraphernalia, underage posses-
sion of alcohol and open contain-
er.
And a third man was charged
with the underage possession of
alcohol and open container. All
three men were later released and
their cases will be heard in mu-
nicipal court.

Hopewell Valley Central High
Schools Model United Nations
team took second place overall at
the Philadelphia Model United
Nations 2012 last month.
The team of 26 CHS students
got the Outstanding Large Dele-
gation award at the event, which
put them in second place overall
at the competition. It was their
best showing in the six years
since teacher Paul Tkacs began
advising the club.
Every student on this team
had a positive impact in their
committees, said Tkacs, who
teaches world history and Ad-
vanced Placement government. I
am extremely proud of their ef-
forts and dedication to raising
global awareness.
At the competition, which
drew 17 schools from around the
region, CHS large group broke
into two-person teams who then
represented one of two nations
Liberia and Rwanda and argued
a point of view representing
those countries on various UN
committees.
The presentations combined
research, analysis and public
speaking skills at the students
sought to accurately and persua-
sively present their countries
views in solving world problems.
In addition to the overall
award, eight two-person teams
from CHS took special honors.
They included:
Seniors Nicole Gifford and
Scott Morrison-Melmon (Liberia)
Best position paper on the Com-
mittee on Crime Prevention and
Criminal Justice.
Senior Sarah Mitrano and
sophomore Haley Morin (Rwan-
da) Best Delegation in the UN
Development Programme Com-
mittee.
Senior Steve Millner and jun-
ior Nick Lewis (Liberia) Best
Delegation in the World Health
Organization Committee.
Juniors Erich Heinzel and Dan
Shaikh (Rwanda) Distinguished
Delegation in the Department for
Peacekeeping Operations.
The Philadelphia competition
was sponsored by the Institute for
Domestic and International Af-
fairs, which is based at Rutgers
University. In May, the Model UN
Club hopes to host its own such
competition at Central High
School.
