Police:
Robbery
reported
at bank
By HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
On April 14, at approximate-
ly 1:35 p.m., there was a bank
robbery at the PNC Bank locat-
ed inside of the Stop and Shop
supermarket on Denow Road
in the Hopewell Crossing
Shopping Center in Penning-
ton.
The suspect was described
as a white man in his 40s with
a dark complexion, a hearty
beard and full mustache. He
was wearing a dark-colored
jacket, a light colored shirt and
a light colored baseball cap,
and stands approximately
510 and weighs 165 pounds.
Hopewell Township police
say they received a call report-
ing the robbery, but by the
time they arrived, the suspect
had already fled the bank with
less than $1,500.
The bank teller, who was
alone, reported the suspect ap-
proached him and handed him
a note demanding money as
well as stating that he was
armed. At one point, the sus-
pect partially displayed a
weapon, which was hidden in-
side of his jacket and believed
to be a semi-automatic hand-
gun.
The teller complied with the
notes request, and gave him
Organizers plan for Harvest Fair
By HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
On April 25, the Hopewell Har-
vest Fair Planning Committee
will be holding a meeting to dis-
cuss the 2012 Harvest Fair at 7
p.m. at the Hopewell Train Sta-
tion located at 2 Railroad Place.
The annual Hopewell Harvest
Fair, which is celebrating its 25th
anniversary this year, is a volun-
teer community event that is de-
signed to provide a full day of fun
and entertainment for local fami-
lies and friends.
The fair involves a variety of
activities, contests and hands-on
events. Last year, the fair hosted
classic country games, a bake-off,
inflatable rides, hayrides, a pet-
ting zoo for kids, live musical per-
formances, dozens of craft and
food vendors and multiple games
run by community groups.
Although the fair was can-
celled in October last year be-
cause of rain, it was rescheduled
to early November, with a great
turnout, according to Hopewell
Harvest Fair Planning Chair-
woman Julie Sansone.
The fair unites community
groups, businesses, civic organi-
zations and individuals toward
the common goals of community
celebrations, entertainment,
recreation and fundraising, San-
sone said. Money raised from
the fair, including a percentage of
profits from vendors, goes toward
the Hopewell Harvest Fair Com-
munity Grant Program, which
provides small grants to local
community non-profit organiza-
tions.
The organizations that re-
ceived grants in 2011 included
Easel Animal rescue League,
Homefront, Hopewell Elementary
School PTO (for the science fair
and fifth-grade trip), Hopewell
Fire Department, Ladies Auxil-
iary, Hopewell Public Library,
Hopewell Second Calvary Baptist
Church, Hopewell Valley Youth
Chorale, Hopewell Valley Chil-
drens Theatre, Hopewell Valley

letters to the editor
in our opinion
A
nyone who doubted the need
for New Jersey to enact
tougher laws against bullying
should read the story of Sawyer
Rosenstein. The Associated Press re-
ported last week that his family had
settled with the Ramsey school district
for $4.2 million.
The reason for the settlement: Back
in 2006, a student with a history of bul-
lying other kids punched Rosenstein
in the stomach, leaving him paralyzed.
The AP story notes that the familys
lawsuit alleged that the puncher had a
history of being a bully, and that the
school district knew or should have
known about it.
Even more distressing, Rosenstein,
then only 12, had emailed school offi-
cials notifying them that he was being
bullied.
After the death of Rutgers student
Tyler Clementi, the state got tough on
bullying.
In addition to mandating training
and reporting, the law states that bul-
lies can be suspended or expelled from
school.
And that, removing the problem
from schools, will go a long way to-
ward solving the problem.
Some critics of the new law claim it
is too burdensome and could lead to
more lawsuits and additional expenses
for school districts. Well, so be it.
Every child should feel safe at
school. No child should go to school
every day in fear of being attacked,
physically or emotionally. Schools
have to be safe havens.
And its hard to believe that school
districts dont have, or cant have, a
good idea of who the bullies are. The
kids certainly do.
The law came too late for many N.J.
students, but it is in place now, and we
encourage every school district to
make sure that everything possible is
done to ensure the safety of every stu-
dent.
Simply identifying and then getting
rid of the bullies will go a long way to-
ward achieving that goal.
No doubt about bullying laws
A punch that paralyzed a student leads to huge settlement
Getting tough on bullies
Last week, we saw another reminder
of why it is imperative that school dis-
tricts take a hard line against bullying.
Identify the bullies. Then remove
them from the school.
Sewer bond ordinance needs
to pass, says writer
Those who seek to defeat the sewer bond
ordinance selfishly argue that, since they
will not directly benefit from the projected
sewers, they shouldnt pay for it. Put aside
that those residents who do need sewers,
because they have failing septic tanks, will
reimburse the township.
Put aside that we need a limited amount
of sewers to support a mandated Afford-
able Housing Project.
And if we do not build it, the builders
remedy will come.
My concern is if a small group of resi-
dents are successful at defeating the sewer
bond ordinance at a special referendum on
May 8, then what is next?
Will they defeat a bond ordinance to
build a planned senior center because they
are not senior citizens?
Will they defeat a bond ordinance to
build recreational facilities like Twin
Pines because their families do not plan to
use those facilities?
Will they force the township to sell Pen-
nytown to a commercial developer because
as they have argued we have no current af-
fordable housing obligation?
Will they force the township to pave
Aunt Molly Road because it costs more tax
dollars to maintain an historic dirt road?
Hopewell Township is a diverse commu-
nity essentially made up of a lot of minori-
ty interests. And, we as a community have
always supported each other even if we do
not directly benefit from it. We will lose
more than a sewer project if the sewer
bond ordinance is defeated. We will lose
our sense of community.
Please vote yes on May 8.
John Murphy
Committee needs to improve
ordinance for taxpayers
The old slogan politics is dirty unfortu-
nately still rings true. Proponents of the
ELSA bond ordinance would have you be-
lieve the Hopewell Township Affordable
Housing Plan would be out of date if the or-
dinance is defeated in the May 8 referendum.
If defeated, they say, developers will have
nearly unbridled control of the township.
That is dirty politics scare tactics, and
its simply untrue. Its meant to unneces-
sarily alarm people to bully them to get
their way. We find these tactics very disap-
pointing.
The fact is our currently approved Af-
fordable Housing Plan will still be intact
the day after the bond ordinance is rejected
by the voters. Developers will not be knock-
ing down our doors on May 9. Defeat of the
bond does not thwart our Affordable Hous-
ing Plan. Rather, rebuffing it provides the
township committee the opportunity to ex-
punge the existing defective ordinance,
and advance one that properly addresses
our Affordable Housing Plan wastewater
needs, ensures that the users fund the in-
frastructure (as opposed to the taxpayer),
and reduces the amount of reserve sewer-
age capacity to that which is actually need-
ed (not twice what is needed, as in the cur-
rent ordinance).
Proponents of the ordinance do indeed
have a point that defeat of the ordinance,
in conjunction with no further action by
our township committee on developing an
improved ordinance that addresses the
above deficiencies, could, in fact, leave the
township vulnerable to the greed of devel-
opers.
If nothing is done by the committee to
replace the flawed ordinance with a better
one, developers could argue that the town-
ship is not taking its affordable housing
needs seriously.
We are, on record, urging the township
committee to roll up its sleeves and get to
work on an improved ordinance that does
not require the taxpayers to fund waste-
water infrastructure that only a few will
benefit from, and that does not provide sur-
plus sewerage capacity for developers to
please see LETTERS, page 7
sink their teeth into. We wonder
why the proponents arent en-
couraging the same.
So send a message to the town-
ship committee by voting no on
May 8.
By saying no, you are insisting
they immediately adopt a high-
quality ordinance that does not
create a new tax and maintains
the rural nature of the township.
For more information on the
ELSA bond ordinance referen-
dum, see our website at www.el-
sareferendum.org.

Baseball Home Run series takes
place throughout the summer
Municipal Alliance, Hopewell
Valley Central High School Schol-
arship, MOMS Club of Hopewell-
Titusville, Real Food for Thought,
Resource Center of Somerset,
Inc., Stoneybrook-Millstone Wa-
tershed Association, Sunshine
Foundation, Visiting Nurses of
Mercer (hospice) and Woman-
space.
Since the fairs inception, near-
ly $190,000 has been distributed to
groups serving the citizens of the
Hopewell, mostly in the form of
grants under $1,000 each.
Sansone says the fair provides
interactive events and financial
benefits for the community,
which is the most important part
of the event.
I love to see all of the families
that come out to the fair spending
time together, engaging with
other community members and
enjoying the atmosphere of a
great community event, she
said. With children spending so
much time inside behind screens,
and engaged with multimedia de-
vices so often, I think these events
are more important than ever.
Roxanne Klett, a trustee for the
committee and volunteer of six
years, has been attending the fair
since its inception in 1987. She
has a background in booking
music and planning events,
which is a perfect combination
for helping plan an event like this.
She and her husband, Ted, also
own a small, local sound compa-
ny, RoxyLou Entertainment,
which they feature at the fair to
contribute their time and skills to
help create an enjoyable event.
Klett also believes the fair is a
family tradition that is beneficial
to the community.
I am a firm believer in volun-
teering in the community, she
said. Everyone involved with the
fair now and in the past, believes
it is a valuable asset to the com-
munity. It is not only a fun, com-
munity event for families to enjoy,
but it aids well-meaning
groups whose mission is to help
others.
The committee is just starting
to plan the 2012 fair, so it hasnt
made any decisions as to what
events it will entail, but it encour-
ages residents to bring ideas for-
ward.
We are always looking for new
and exciting things to add, San-
sone said.
At the April 25 meeting, the
committee will be talking about
the planning process, their com-
mittees and brainstorming ideas
for the 2012 fair, scheduled for
Oct. 13. Last year, the fair attract-
ed 20 volunteers, as well as a
handful of people who volun-
teered the day of the event.
There's plenty to do big and
small so even if you only have
an hour to spare between now
and Oct. 13, we'll take it, Sansone
said.

POLICE REPORT
The following items were taken
from reports on file with the
Hopewell Police Department:
On April 9 at 5:23 p.m., Sgt.
William Springer charged a 24-
year-old woman with hindering
apprehension. Springer had
stopped the woman for a view ob-
struction on March 7 while she
drove along Pennington Road.
She provided a false name to
Springer knowing that her dri-
vers license was suspended. A
further investigation revealed her
true identity and she was taken

hension, driving while suspended

later released and her case will be
heard in municipal court.
On April 8 at 3:42 p.m., Officer

observing it traveling 36 mph in a
25 mph zone along Columbia Av-
enue. Vastola say he spoke with
the driver, a 36-year-old man, who
was found to have outstanding
warrants out of Montgomery
Township, Ewing Township and
Trenton. He was placed under ar-
rest and transported to police
headquarters for processing. He
was charged with driving while
suspended and a child car seat vi-
olation, which will be heard in
municipal court. He was later re-
leased after posting bail.

crash. Police say a 24-year-old
man was driving a 1999 Dodge
Ram pick up truck south along
Route 29 when the driver side
rear tire came off of the truck.
The tire rolled into the north-
bound lane where it struck a Toy-
ota Corolla and forced the driver
off of the road into a field. The
tire then struck a second north-
bound car, a Toyota Scion, and
that car also ended up in a field
after the driver took evasive ac-
tion. No was injured in the crash.
He received summonses for an
unsafe vehicle and being an unli-
censed driver. These charges will
be heard in municipal court.
On April 14 at 2:14 a.m., Officer
Christopher Vaccarino observed
a car traveling along Route 29
weaving in and out of its lane and
traveling at 60 mph in a 45 mph
zone. Vaccarino says he spoke
with the driver, a 26-year-old man,
who had the odor of alcohol on
his breath. After performing
field-sobriety tests, he was placed
under arrest and transported to
police headquarters for process-
ing. He was charged with drunk-
en driving, refusal to submit to a
breath test, speeding, reckless
driving, failure to maintain lane,
unlicensed driver and uninsured
motorist. He was later released to
an acquaintance and this case
will be heard in municipal court.
On April 14 at 7:12 p.m., Officer
Brian Dendis observed a car trav-
eling at 48 mph in a 25 mph zone
along Harbourton Rocktown
Road. Dendis says he stopped the
car and spoke with the driver, a
29-year-old man, who was found
to have outstanding warrants for
his arrest out of East Greenwich
and Linden. He was placed under
arrest and transported to police
headquarters for processing. He
was charged with speeding and
driving while suspended, which
will be heard in municipal court.
He was later released on his own
recognizance on the outstanding
warrants.
