The Hopewell Sun
Hopewell resident Ritch Gaiti
takes his work rather seriously.
The former senior director for
Merrill Lynch spends his time
passionately crafting beauty to be
enjoyed for generations to come.
While seated at Boro Bean in
Hopewell on an unseasonably
warm March afternoon, Gaiti
spoke with The Hopewell Sun
about his infatuation.
For the past 10 years, painting
striking, layered images has
reigned supreme in his mind.
After the Brooklyn native fell
head-over-heels in love with the
West, he picked up his brushes
and created a new perspective.
Im self-taught, he said. I
didnt go to art school, though I
did study with some artists.
He has trained himself to cap-
ture moments.
With more than 500 completed
oil paintings, Gaiti chiefly focuses
on conveying feelings surround-
ing Native American culture,
herds of horses and the great ex-
panse of the western the United
States.
I paint to really communicate
what that subject is feeling at that
moment, he said. Im trying to
communicate the soul of the sub-
ject.
A number of Gaitis horse
paintings are currently on dis-
play at the Straube Center in Pen-
nington as the focus of the show,
Strength, Grace and Freedom.
Horses are universal, he
said.
The exhibit can be viewed from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day now
through May 25 for no cost of ad-
mission.
The title of the show, explains
gallery curator Alisandra Wed-
erich, is taken from the Chinese
zodiac for the horse.
Even better, as the Straube
Center is a lively office complex,
she said, showcased work is sold
without commission.
Were a nonprofit gallery, so
100 percent of the proceeds go to
the artists, she said.
With art rotating on a quarter-
ly basis, office tenants, their
clients and the community at
large all have ample opportunity
to purchase new dcor.
This order of presentation is
based in artistic SoHo in New
York City, Wederich explains.
Youd see this more in the big
city than a little town like Pen-
nington, she said.
As a Big Apple native, Gaitis
work fits right in with the
Straube Centers philosophy of
rotating paintings.
Its my first time exhibiting
there, he said. Its very nice and
very accommodating to artists
and patrons.
His paintings have also been at
exhibits in Santa Fe, N.M., Jack-
son Hole, Wy., and Fort Collins,

in downtown Hopewell recently. Shown above is Gaitis painting, The
Hard Breeze, which depicts a texturized horse in action.

The Hopewell Sun
The length of an interpretative
statement on the May 8 ballot was
discussed and debated in detail by
township committee members
and area residents at the March
12 council meeting in Hopewell.
The statement in question ref-
erences the $4.1 million referen-
dum for the Ewing Lawrence
Sewerage Authority (ELSA).
The council originally ap-
proved the ordinance on Nov. 28,
but according to administrator
Paul Pogorzelski, area residents
filed a petition within 20 days of
that ordinance taking effect,
which requires a referendum vote
to be approved.
Council members were divided
between choosing a long, explana-
tory style interpretative state-
ment or using more concise lan-
guage.
Township attorney Steven
Goodell said the goal was for the
language to be as simple and di-
rect as possible to let people un-
derstand the results of their vote.
Ray Nichols, a member of the
townships environmental com-
mission and a Hopewell resident,
submitted a sample for the inter-
pretative statement that was
largely debated during the meet-
ing.
As part of his 238-word propo-
sition to the township for perusal,
Nichols wrote, Obtaining
sewage treatment capacity is a
necessary prerequisite to provid-
ing the foundation for sewer serv-

in our opinion
W
e could guess that there is
waste in government. Even,
at times, fraud. It kind of
comes with the territory.
But we indeed were shocked to
learn that tens of millions of dollars
have been lost due to abuse of the free
lunch program.
Recently, Gov. Christie announced
the formation of a task force to study
abuse and manipulation of the school
funding formula due to fraud in the
Free and Reduced Price School Lunch
Program. According to the governor,
recent studies and news reports
clearly identify high levels of fraudu-
lent enrollment in the program un-
dercutting the states ability to fairly
and appropriately determine aid lev-
els for schools. A 2011 report by the
State Auditor found that as many as 37
percent of the students in the program
are enrolled fraudulently.
Thirty seven percent? More than
one in three? Thats a shocking num-
ber.
If its true, heck, if its anywhere
close to being true, then, yes, someone
needs to clean house.
The task force will consist of seven
members from both inside and outside
of government.
Now, were usually not big on task
forces or blue-ribbon committees or
whatever other study groups might be
formed. Too often they spend time and
tax money looking at something, pon-
dering various scenarios and then
writing a report that results in no ac-
tion whatsoever.
This time, we have to hope that the
task force figures out where the prob-
lems are and how to fix them. And
then, the state fixes them.
Its no secret that N.J. taxpayers are
overburdened especially when it
comes to property taxes. There can be
zero tolerance for mismanagement,
waste, abuse, fraud, whatever you
want to call it.
This applies across the board when
it comes to spending tax dollars even
when it comes to free lunches.
Free lunch fraud
Seriously? Someone is scamming the schools free-lunch program?
A hunger for reform
The governor says tens of millions of
dollars have been lost due to fraud in
the free lunch program at schools.
Lets hope his task force gets to the
bottom of the problem and remedies
are forthcoming.
ices in certain areas of the township.
This purpose is not considered a cur-
rent expense but rather, one which the
township may lawfully undertake as a gen-
eral improvement, and therefore, pay for,
over an extended period of time, through
the issuance of bonds.
In adopting this ordinance, the town-
ship explicitly reserved the right at some
time in the future to determine that it (ob-
taining sewage treatment capacity) spe-
cially benefits certain properties, in which
case it could be determined that all or
some of the cost will be specially assessed
against such properties.
Committeewoman Kimberly Johnson
approved of his suggestion.
I feel its an unbiased view of the town-
ships position, she said at the meeting.
Committeeman Allen Cannon believed
Nichols submission was too long and
would reduce readership in the communi-
ty.
We need something concise, he said.
The more concise it is, the better.
Johnson rebutted that residents can
read the sample ballot prior to voting so as
to not feel rushed in making a decision on
the issue, but she believed an explanation
on why the ordinance was passed in the
first place was needed.
Public input needs to be acknowl-
edged, Committeewoman Vanessa San-
dom said. I think its great that people are
participating.
Sandom said its necessary to educate
voters prior to an actual vote, to and keep
the shorter statement based on past years.
Over the years, she said, theyve always
been very short.
Deputy Mayor James Burd wants to
keep any bias out of the statement, and
Mayor Michael Markulec agreed, calling
the issue both a hot potato and later a
lava rock.
Go into the booth, read the statement
and make a decision, he said. I really
want it to be unbiased.
In other business:
It was decided at the meeting the town-
ship would move forward with the possibil-
ity of adding a referendum vote to the No-
vember election to preserve 1 cent of the
Open Space Tax from sunsetting on Dec.
31.
Presently, there is a 3-cent open space
tax. The sunsetting 1 cent is used for all
purposes, one half cent is used for all pur-
pose but recreation and maintenance, and
one and a half cents are for all purposes
and recreation.
Existing total open space debt in the
township is $15,174,747.
There would be no increase in taxes for
Hopewell residents in relation to the open
space tax-- it would stay the same.
Markulec wants the townships boards
and commissions to discuss the topic be-
fore moving forward with a possible refer-
endum. If approved, it would appear on the
November ballot for voters.
Police officers Mandy Grey and Kevin
Koveloski were honored at the meeting for
saving lives.
On Feb. 11, the pair responded to a call
about an unconscious person. They were
quick to the scene and administered CPR
and breathing until the victims heart
began beating again.
What a wonderful job you do, said
Markulec, referring to the variety of situa-
tions to which the police department re-
sponds.
The township committee is hopeful that
the 2012 budget will be introduced at the
next public council meeting, which will be
held on March 26.

Members of the First Presbyte-
rian Church of Titusville part-
nered with the West Trenton
Community Center for a day of
community service on March 10.
The independent, non-profit
WTCC, located at 510 Stuyvesant
Ave. in Trenton, serves the sur-
rounding community by provid-
ing a monthly food pantry, weekly
after school tutoring, a childrens
summer enrichment series, a
Thanksgiving turkey give-a-way
and a free community Christmas
dinner.
The partnership between the
church and WTCC allowed for the
center's building, where many of
the programs are offered, to be re-
freshed through cleaning, paint-
ing, ceiling tile replacement, win-
dow pane replacement and food
pantry improvements.
The WTCC's next food pantry
will be Saturday, March 24.
Donations of non-perishable
food for the pantry may be left in
the church's narthex at 48 River
Drive in Titusville.
Call the church at (609) 737-1385
for more information.

Mercer County Community
College's Holocaust-Genocide Re-
source Center will host two up-
coming events that are open to
the public, Echoes and Reflec-
tions on Wednesday, March 28,
and War Horse on Wednesday,
April 4. Both events will be held
at 4:30 p.m. on the West Windsor
Campus.
Echoes and Reflections is
open to teachers and academic su-
pervisors for grades 6 to 12. A
powerful 21st century resource, it
was created by ADL to connect
Holocaust education to current
curriculum and academic stan-
dards using interactive web-
based technology. Participants
will receive an underwritten copy
of this award-winning curricu-
lum, developed by the Anti-
Defamation League, the USC
Shoah Foundation Institute, and
Yad Vashem.
The event is free and can count
toward three professional devel-
opment credits. Space is limited
for this event, and those interest-
ed in attending need to register
via email at mcholgen@gmail.com.
On Wednesday, April 4, a dis-
cussion entitled, War Horse:
How One Novel (or play, or movie)
Can Teach Peace, will be held at
the Resource Center.
The discussion stems from the
2011 English war epic motion pic-
ture directed by Steven Spielberg,
which was based on a childrens
novel by British author Michael
Morpurgo.
Both the novel and film detail
the remarkable bond between a
man named Albert and his loyal
horse, Joey.
The story follows Joey on an in-
credible journey across the Eng-
lish countryside after the pair are
forcibly separated during World
War I.
Both events are free of charge,
and refreshments will be provid-
ed.
The Holocaust-Genocide Re-
source Center is located on Mer-
cer County Community Colleges
West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old
Trenton Road, on the second floor
of the Library building.

and other events, visit

MCCC hosting discussions
Elauwit, publisher of The Sun
newspapers, has announced new
leadership.
Barry Rubens will become
chief executive of Elauwit on
April 1.
This is an exciting moment
for Elauwit, Chairman of the
Board Russell Cann said of
Rubens promotion from his cur-
rent role as chief financial officer.
Barry has brought a wealth of
experience and wisdom to
Elauwit, and we are all excited to
see him use that knowledge to
lead our company.
Rubens succeeds Dan McDo-
nough, Jr., who steps down as
chief executive March 31. McDo-
nough has run the company for
the past three years and will con-
tinue to serve on Elauwits board
of directors and on its executive
committee.
Barry has been a trusted
teammate, a mentor and a friend
for the last three years, McDo-
nough said. He is perfectly suit-
ed to take Elauwit to the next
level and I am excited to support
his efforts to do just that.
In addition to serving as chief
financial officer, Rubens, 51, has
served on the board of directors
of Elauwit. Prior to joining
Elauwits board in 2009, Rubens
served as the senior vice presi-
dent and chief financial officer of
CT Communications, Inc. (NAS-
DAQ: CTCI), where he helped
grow revenues from $40 million to
$160 million.
Alan Bauer has been named
vice chairman of the Elauwit
Media board of directors. He has
served as general manager and
editor of the company since its
formation in 2004. He is responsi-
ble for the daily operations of the
company, overseeing news and
production.
Also, Steve Miller has been
named publisher of all Elauwit
Media publications. In his new
role, Miller will be responsible for
working with community and
business leaders and promoting
the Elauwit Media brand
throughout South and Central
Jersey. Miller has served Elauwit
Media as vice president of sales
and most recently as executive
vice president.
Elauwit is the parent company
of Elauwit Media and Elauwit
Networks.
Elauwit Media publishes 15
weekly newspapers in South and
Central Jersey. Its 16th paper, The

cess, telephone service, high defi-
nition video and security services

ments, such as student housing,

pitals and senior living complex-
es. The company currently serves
properties in more than 20 states

The International Museum of
the Horse, the American Quarter
Horse Museum, the Great Plains
Museum and the Gilcrease Muse-
um have all exhibited his work
over the years.
The area public is seeing his
paintings for the first time in six
or seven years, he said. His work
has never been on display in
Hopewell, but it was last seen in
the surrounding area in Trenton
and New Hope, Pa.
Ive been showing out West,
he said. I thought itd be good to
do something locally again. Its
been awhile.
His paintings range in price
from $1,300 to $8,000.
Gaiti will do work for commis-
sion, but specifically states he
will not paint a clients living,
breathing pet horse since his
work is interpretative rather than
physically precise.
Im looking to evoke some
kind of feeling of the subject, he
said. I dont really paint to be
anatomically correct.
Like many artists, Gaiti says
hes a perfectionist.
I never let a painting go until
Im really satisfied that its fin-
ished, he said. There are paint-
ings Ive done that Ive done in a
month. Others take me five, six
months.
It depends on how the cosmos
align.
Most of his paintings are
formed with warm colors.
He also takes advantage of lay-
ers.
Most of them, not all of them,
are heavily texturized, he said.
I like texture. It brings out lay-
ers.
When Gaiti is not looking at a
canvas, he is writing.
And, generally, about horses.
As a three-time published au-
thor, Gaiti has been on The
Today Show. His latest book,
Dutching the Book, was recently
released.
According to the novels Ama-
zon.com description, Dutching
the Book is an American epic
about the tests of friendship and
family over several decades and a
one man's quest to be the best
horseplayer in the game.
Im a pretty eclectic writer,
he said.
His next book will be about Na-
tive American culture.
Although hard-working be-
tween writing and painting, Gaiti
hopes to begin painting lessons
for eager adults in a small class
setting interested to become im-
mersed in a fresh creative outlet.
Its an outlet that takes him
away from lifes hectic demands.
When I paint, I am in a differ-
ent world. Im somewhere else,
he said. I couldnt tell you what
part of the solar system Im in.
The end result of his labor is
never clear.
I will never know where its
going to wind up, he said. Ill al-
ways have a game plan in mind,
but that game plan can change as
soon as I lift my paintbrush.
The magic takes over.
His life completely changed
when he decided to follow a more
creative path.
This is my second career. I
managed a large organization for
many years, he said. I spent
most of my life in my left brain,
now Im in my right brains sand-
box writing and painting.
