Township, borough see increase in burglaries
HEATHER FIORE/The Hopewell Sun
Detective Mike Sherman of the Hopewell Township Police Department explained the best way to keep burglars out of your car, which is also
the simplest: lock the doors. Also, make sure to keep valuables out of view in a locked glove box or center console.

The Hopewell Sun
Hopewell Township and Bor-
ough saw an unusual increase in
burglaries in May.
The majority of Mays burgla-
ries involved vehicles, according
to Hopewell Detective Lance Mal-
oney.
We get car burglaries
throughout the year, but it just so
happens that we got a little bit of
a hit in May, Detective Lance
Maloney said. However, there
has also been burglaries in neigh-
boring communities such as
Montgomery, Princeton, Hillsbor-
ough and Lawrence.
In May, Hopewell saw a total of
nine car burglaries eight in the
township and one in the borough.
Most of them occurred during a
period of two weeks, and on the
same street or in the same neigh-
borhood.
Its not unusual that when we
have one car burglary, there are
usually two or three on the same
street, Maloney said.
In almost every case, burglars
made off with cell phones in
these cases, the majority of them
were iPhones which is some-
thing Maloney found to be quite
surprising.
I was very surprised with the
phones because a lot of people are
attached to their phones 24/7, es-
pecially younger kids, he said.

Students get taste of entrepreneurialism
Local business owners share knowledge with fifth graders
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
On Friday, June 8, about 50
fifth-grade students at Toll Gate
Grammar School in Pennington
were given an insightful and in-
formative presentation from sev-
eral local business owners on en-
trepreneurialism.
The idea behind the presenta-
tion, which was put together by
Chairman of the Pennington Bor-
ough Economic Development
Commission Eric Kollevoll, was
to expose younger children to the
idea of entrepreneurship and fur-
ther inform them of future busi-
ness opportunities as they em-
bark on their journey to middle
school.
What I wanted to do was real-
ly help the business community
reach out to the residents, and I
thought one of the ways best to do
that was to actually help foster
entrepreneurialism with the stu-
dents locally, Kollevoll said. The
fifth grade was a logical choice
because theyre going to middle
school, so I thought itd be nice for
them to meet some of the local
business owners and hear what
its like to own their own busi-
nesses.
Kollevoll, who is also the
founder of Kollevoll & Associates,
LLC, an independent insurance
agency in Pennington, gathered
four other local business owners
to present at Toll Gate. Since
Kollevoll is an entrepreneur in
Pennington Borough, he deemed
it important to pick a school that
was in the same area, which is
why he chose Toll Gate.
The presentation was only an
hour long, but covered a variety
of subjects. Kollevoll and his four
fellow entrepreneurs spoke about
their businesses and what they
do, where they each grew up and
what they did for jobs when they
were younger, what inspired
them to open their businesses,

why and how they became self-
employed, and what their days
consist of now as business own-
ers.
The goal was to do something
meaningful for the kids, and it re-
ally was, Kollevoll said. It was
amazing. You wouldnt believe
the number of aspiring entrepre-
neurs in that classroom. It was
pretty cool.
Greg Fontaine, owner of A&E
Construction Company in Pen-
nington, was among the other
presenters and explained how he
informed students that there are
several things they can do now in
their everyday lives to help them
decide what they would want to
do in the future.
If they ever did think they
wanted to run their own business
in the future, building their peo-
ple skills, helping somebody do
something around their house or
doing small jobs like shoveling, or
babysitting, was a helpful thing
they could do, he said. We kept
emphasizing that being a good lis-
tener is the first step, especially if
youre trying to sell something to
somebody. Being a good listener is
just as important as being a good
speaker.
Fontaine also encouraged stu-
dents to dabble in different types
of jobs to test things out and even-
tually figure out what direction
they want to go in.
They need to experience some
different things to see what they
may like or dislike so they can see
what direction they want to go
in, he said. Just because some-
thing pays a lot of money doesnt
mean you want to do it. Finding
something you do love is impor-
tant so it doesnt feel like work
day in and day out.
Councilwoman in Pennington
Borough and liaison to Penning-
ton Boroughs Economic Develop-
ment Commission Alyce Mc-
Clurg-Doldy was also in atten-
dance and gave the students
who included one of her sons
some insight on juggling a busi-
ness, family and other obligations
simultaneously.
McClurg-Doldy, who is also an
owner of a small personal training
studio Alyce & Om: Mind, Body,
Balance, started her own business
to create some balance in her life.
Becoming an entrepreneur is
the best thing I ever did, she
said. I worked at
Pennington/Ewing Athletic Club
for 10 years, and I wanted a way to
be home for my kids when they
get home for school. I just wanted
to be home, so it worked out per-
fectly, and it really allows me a
good amount of flexibility.
She also explained how she in-
volves her children in all of her
decisions, which helps inspire
them and helps them better un-
derstand that being an entrepre-
neur is a positive thing.
I always keep my kids in-
volved in my decisions. I tell them
that I choose to do things and that
I dont have to, but I need them to
accept it, she said. Theres
nothing greater than your kids
seeing you as something other
than mom. Youre not just mom
and dad, you actually have a life
outside of your house.
Although Kollevoll, Fontaine
and McClurg-Doldy are aware
that fifth graders arent going to
choose their life paths at the initi-
ation of middle school, they ex-
plained how it was important to
open their eyes to the concept of
entrepreneurialism.
We thought it was cool to
spark the interest of business
ownership for some of the more
impressionable younger kids,
Kollevoll said. They loved it. It
was very positive.
Since Kollevoll and his team of
entrepreneurs intrigued the chil-
dren so much, Toll Gate invited
Kollevoll back next year to give a
presentation to next years fifth
graders.
Presentation was meaningful for the students, says entrepreneur
