The Hopewell Valley Septem-
ber 11th and Emergency Services
Memorial Committee recently
began the construction of the
Hopewell Valley September 11th
and Emergency Services Memori-
al in Alliger Park on Route 546 in
Hopewell.
Although the initial construc-
tion is complete the ground-
breaking, grading and lawn clear-
ing a 10-ton steel beam that was
recovered from the World Trade
Center following the Sept. 11,
2001, attacks was mounted and
welded on to the supports and
will serve as the centerpiece of
the memorial.
The 10-ton steel artifact that is
being used was obtained from
Hanger 17 at JFK International
Airport located in Queens, where
all artifacts from the World Trade
Center are stored.
There are all types of artifacts
from the World Trade Center at
Hanger 17, chairman of the
Hopewell Valley September 11th
and Emergency Services Memori-
al Committee and former
Hopewell Chief of Police Mike
Chipowsky said. They have
crushed fire engines and police
cars, subway cars that were re-
covered and steel beams.
The process of obtaining the
artifact started when the commit-
tee approached the Port Authori-
ty of New York and New Jersey in
early 2011.
The committee had to fill out a
form requesting an artifact, and
then had to go and pick up the
piece of steel and transport it to
Hopewell after they received the
award to secure it, according to
Chipowsky.
The committee held a ceremo-
ny on Sept. 10, 2011, to unveil the
piece of steel to the community,
with about 300 people in atten-
dance.
After the unveiling, the com-
mittee began to receive a consid-
erable number of private dona-
tions from individuals as well as
businesses. These donations
alone paid for the majority of the
work that has been completed
thus far.
No public funds will be used for
the project.
The actual cost of the memo-
rial has been very low to this
point due to donations,
Chipowsky said. We have had
great support from the communi-
ty.
Hopewell Township Manager
Paul Pogorzelski helped the com-
mittee find and coordinate the
contractors.
I helped with a lot of the de-
sign engineering and construc-
tion element, as far as the grad-
ing, drainage and such, he said.
Someone put the graphic togeth-
er for me as to what they wanted
it to look like and I designed it
further.
Twenty members of the com-
mittee, as well as the fire depart-
ment, police department and
EMS squad are also currently aid-
ing at the construction of the me-
morial.
When finished, the memorial
will consist of the steel center-
piece surrounded by a 4-foot wall
with a brick walkway wrapping
around the wall to symbolize a
ribbon.
The opening ceremony for the
completed memorial is scheduled
for Sept. 8, which is the Saturday
before the 11th anniversary of the
attacks.
At the ceremony, some of the
bricks from the walkway will be
engraved with the names of fall-
en policemen, firemen, and EMS

Borough
adopts
budget
By HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
At Hopewell Boroughs com-
mittee meeting on May 7, the
council adopted the 2012 mu-
nicipal budget of $3,015,883.
The 2012 budget carries a
2.5-cent increase per every
$100 of assessed value, which
means a tax increase of $108
per year for the average home
valued at $400,000.
It seems that were doing
as best we can, in terms of de-
clining property values, not
adding additional services,
and holding the tax increases
to as little as we can,
Hopewell Borough Mayor Paul
Anzana said. We seem to be
doing pretty well. Im hoping
that next year, in addition to
our vigilance in watching ex-
penses during the budget year,
well be better.
While the available surplus
in the budget has been steadily
increasing over the years
jumping from $344,242 in 2010
to $427,463 at then end of 2011
the borough used more than
half of its available surplus
this year $258,000 out of
$427,463, leaving the borough
with $169,463.
The borough is also paying
off a considerable amount of
debt this year $621,600
which is almost double the
amount of debt that was paid
off in 2011, which amounted to

$310,910.
We very much have a stable
budget this year, Hopewell Bor-
ough Administrator and Munici-
pal Clerk Michele Hovan said.
We have no new expenditures
and we dont have any additional
elimination in services. Were
holding our own this year and
maintaining the status quo.
Aside from the unanimously
adopted budget, the council also
adopted a variety of ordinances.
One of the ordinances included
the authorization for the sale of 4
Columbia Ave., which is the for-
mer location of the Hopewell Bor-
ough offices that just recently re-
located to 88 E. Broad St. on April
30.
The council said the former of-
fice building is going to be sold to
the Hopewell Fire Department
which is attached to the existing
building for $50,000. The sale of
the building is in accordance
with state law under, which al-
lows the borough to sell it to the
department for the use of fire
purposes.
The closing hasnt been sched-
uled yet, Hovan said. Its esti-
mated to be before June 1, but it
still hasnt been decided.
Other than the adopted budget
and ordinances, Hovan said the
most invigorating part of the
meeting was for the council mem-
bers.
The big news for us was hav-
ing the first meeting in the new
building, she said. It was the
biggest change. Its not signifi-
cantly larger; its maybe 20 per-
cent larger than the old space, but
its more appropriate for
council meetings and court pur-
poses.
Its nice being in a new build-
ing, Anzana said. I truly appre-
ciate that the new building has
good community space, is mod-
ern, clean, and accessible.

We have probably all come in
touch with what happened on
Sept. 11, Pogorzelski said. So, I
get great personal satisfaction in
building something thats so
meaningful.
For the unveiling ceremony
last year, the Former Deputy Di-
rector of Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey attended.
For the opening ceremony this
year, the committee plans to have
a guest speaker, but is unsure
who it will be.
Aside from the September 11th
Memorial being developed, Al-
liger Park is also home to the
Hopewell Valley Veteran Associa-
tion Memorial.
The park is an amazing
place, Pogorzelski said. Its got
great solitude and trails, and is
close to 200 acres of open space.

in our opinion
D
espite all of the political hy-
perbole were going to have to
put up with until Election Day,
theres at least one positive aspect to a
presidential campaign: Neither party
wants to offend voters. Theyll wait to
do that after the votes are counted.
Thats good news if you are trying
to pay back your federally funded stu-
dent loans. Come July, the interest rate
on those loans is set to double.
But thats not going to happen. In-
deed, the Democrats and Republicans
are arguing about how best to pay for
keeping the interest rate at 3.4 percent.
The Democrats say they want to close
a tax loophole. The Republicans want
to go after the presidents health-care
plan. Theres even speculation that the
rate will be extended with no idea of
how to pay for it.
But, and you can bet on it, the rate
isnt going to rise.
Thats because there are a lot of peo-
ple with these loans. A lot of people
who likely will be voting this Novem-
ber. And neither party wants to anger
them. Letting the rate rise and bank-
ing on political spin to blame the
other guy is too risky. After all, isnt
getting elected the most important
thing a politician can do?
Were all for promoting higher edu-
cation and wouldnt mind seeing the
rate stay where it is. What we dont
like is the talk about just doing it and
worrying about paying for it later.
Reuters estimates keeping the rate
steady would cost about $6 billion.
One reason the public is so disen-
chanted with the government is that
the government doesnt have to play
by the same rules. Regular folks, or at
least responsible regular folks, live on
a budget. They spend what they can af-
ford. If they want to buy something,
they find a way to pay for it.
But, this being an election year and
all, the politicians no doubt will go all-
out to make as many people happy as
possible. Unfortunately, in the case of
student loans, that might mean simply
ignoring a bill that is due.
Friendly politicians
One good thing about election years: Politicians want to be your friend
Student loans
Those with federally funded student
loans shouldnt worry too much about
a possible interest rate hike in July.
Its an election year. The politicians
will do all they can to keep you happy.

The Bridge Academy thanks
Princeton community
On behalf of the students, faculty, staff
and parents of The Bridge Academy, I
would like to thank the Princeton,
Lawrenceville and Hopewell community
businesses that supported our recent
fundraiser, Reach for the Stars. I would
also like to thank Willis Greenhouse for
the beautiful centerpieces they provided.
The evening was a fabulous success. As
a school for language-based learning dis-
abilities (like dyslexia) and the only school
in New Jersey that is Orton-Gillingham ac-
credited, it is extremely important for us to
provide a multi-sensory approach to learn-
ing. Our annual fundraiser helps support
the hands-on learning opportunities for
our students that enrich their educational
experience.
While fundraising was an important
part of the evening, the highlight was the
remarkable testimonials from our students
about how important Bridge has been to
their success in school and in life. As one of
our students said: Opportunities are
found every day at The Bridge: to go to col-
lege, to have a job, to grow a family, to
bridge forward. Who said a dyslexic was
not normal?
Thank you to all the local businesses
that help our students bridge the gap be-
tween potential and performance.

The following items were taken
from reports on file with the
Hopewell Police Department:
On May 5 at 1:08 p.m., Hopewell
Township police responded to
Baldpate Mountain for the report
of a man trapped in a hole. It was
reported the man became trapped
after a boulder shifted and fell on
to his leg. Officer Mandy Grey
and Sgt. Christopher Kascik ar-
rived on scene and found a 56-
year-old man in a 4-foot deep hole
with a boulder on his right leg.
Attempts to move the boulder off
of his leg were unsuccessful. The
Union Fire Department and first
aid squad arrived on the scene
moments later and began the res-
cue operation under the direction
of Union Fire Department Acting
Chief Andrew C. Kintzel. Addi-
tional specialty resources units
from Mercer, Bucks, Camden and
Hunterdon counties also respond-
ed and assisted with the rescue
operation.
The man was extricated from
the hole at approximately 4:45
p.m. and was then flown by
Northstar to Capital Health Re-
gional Medical Center.
Police say they learned the
man and his friend, a 63-year-old
man, dug the hole with hand
shovels in an area behind a va-
cant home on the property in
search of artifacts. After trying to
free the man from the hole him-
self, the 63-year-old called 9-1-1.
Personnel from the Mercer
County Park Rangers were on
scene and charges for park ordi-
nance violations for prohibited
digging are pending.
Additional responders: Pen-
nington Fire Department,
Hopewell Valley Emergency Serv-
ices, Lawrenceville Fire Depart-
ment, Hopewell Fire Department,
Plainsboro Fire Department,
West Amwell Fire Department,
Lambertville Fire Department,
Pennington Road Fire Depart-
ment, Trenton Fire Department,
Clinton Township Fire Depart-
ment, Whitehouse Fire Depart-
ment, Flemington Raritan Rescue
Squad, Upper Makefield Fire De-
partment, Princeton First Aid
Squad, Capital Health para-
medics and Pennington First Aid
Squad.
On April 25 at 9:34 p.m., Officer
Louis Vastola responded to Poor
Farm Road for the report of a
one-car motor vehicle crash. A
2002 Porsche Boxster, driven by a
53-year-old man, had left the road-
way and crashed through two
mailboxes. Police say the man
had the odor of alcohol on his
breath and was unable to perform
field-sobriety tests. He was then
transported to a local hospital by
the Pennington First Aid Squad,
where he was treated for minor
injuries and later released.
He was charged with DWI,
reckless driving and failure to
keep right and was later re-
leased to a relative.
This case will be heard in mu-
nicipal court.
On May 1 at 10:52 p.m., Officer
Sara Erwin responded to a
Shrewsbury Court address for the
report of a burglary. Sometime
between 7:15 a.m. on April 30 and
10:50 p.m. on May 1, someone en-
tered the unlocked townhouse
and removed cash and jewelry
from the home. The loss was esti-
mated at $1,630.
On May 3 at 6:45 a.m., Officer
Gerard Infantino responded to a
Manley Road address for the re-
port of a car burglary. Sometime
overnight, someone entered an
unlocked car parked in front of
the home and removed cash, pre-
scription medicines and work
files. The loss was estimated at
$1,765.
On May 2 at 3:44 p.m., Officer
Christopher Vaccarino says he
observed a car traveling at 43 mph
in a 25 mph zone along Maddock
Road. Vaccarino says he stopped
the car and spoke with the driver,
a 25-year-old man, who originally
provided a false name. Further in-
vestigations found the man had a
suspended drivers license and 10
active arrest warrants out of
Trenton. The man was placed
under arrest and transported to
police headquarters for process-
ing where he was charged with
hindering apprehension.
This case will be heard in mu-
nicipal court. The man was later
turned over to the Trenton Police
Department on the active war-
rants.
