Hopewell recovers
Hit hard by Sandy, area still
facing power outages, damage
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
In the wake of Hurricane
Sandy, Hopewell is probably one
of the towns in Mercer County
that was hit the hardest, with
road closures, downed power
lines and trees, and widespread
power outages remaining as of
Wednesday, Nov. 7, according to
Township Administrator and En-
gineer Paul Pogorzelski.
"We still have pockets of power
that are out," he said. "Portions of
Elmridge Park; major portions of
the JCP&L area, which is basical-
ly everything north of Rt. 546 and
west of Rt. 31; as well as some
areas of Province Line Road,
Hopewell Amwell Road, and
Hopewell Wertsville Road."
Pogorzelski detailed how the
township was still experiencing a
plethora of issues as of Nov. 7,
mainly in regard to the power
companies and their accessibility
and feedback.
"All of the trees that could be
cleared by Public Works have
been cleared by Public Works, so
now it's just those trees that are
entangled in wires," he said.
"They're just waiting for the
power company to come in and
take care of them.
When asked about a timeframe
of when all of Hopewell Town-
ship should expect power to be re-
stored, Pogorzelski described
how that was the main issue the
township was facing, which also
perturbed many residents.
"That's the biggest problem; the
power companies are doing their
own management protocol, and
we send them information that
we know. But we get bits and
pieces of information (back from
them), but it's not very specific in-
formation," he said. "I will say
that PSE&G has been doing a bet-
ter job at communications, giving
us approximate time frames as to
when certain areas might be com-
ing online. JCP&L, however, has
just been not good about commu-
nicating information to us, and
that's a huge frustration to all of
those people that are still without
power."
"Not knowing is a huge frustra-
tion because many people who
are sitting in their house without
power waiting day-to-day and
being told by say, JCP&L, 'well
maybe tomorrow,' and then at the
end of today, we get a list that
maybe it's Saturday; these people
can consciously be making deci-

By HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
On Nov. 6, millions of people
throughout the country, including
those in Hopewell Township visit-
ed polls to vote for candidates.
Two candidates were running
for one open seat on the Hopewell
Township Committee (HTC), De-
mocrat Harvey Lester and Repub-
lican Phil Robbins.
Harvey Lester secured the
open seat, and will take the place
of Kimberly Johnson on the HTC.
He is set to serve one three-year
term, according to the unofficial
tallies posted on Mercer County's
website.
"The votes are in, and the peo-
ple have spoken," Lester said. "It
is an honor to have been elected
the next Hopewell Township
Committee person."
Lester landed the position with
4,525 votes or 57.20 percent, with
Robbins obtaining 3,385 votes or
42.79 percent. There was one Per-
sonal Choice vote, which only ac-
counted for 0.1 percent of the
votes.
"I want to thank the residents
of Hopewell for their support,"
Lester said. "This is not about me,
but about you. We achieved this
victory together, and together we
will work to keep a lid on taxes,
protect our natural resources and
make government more transpar-
ent."
"I want to thank Phillip Rob-
bins for being a worthy oppo-
nent," he added. "I hope that Phil
will continue to work to make
Hopewell a better place."
Lester also lent considerable

This information was provided
to The Sun by the Hopewell Town-
ship Police Department:
On Oct. 27 at 11:16 p.m., Det.
Daniel McKeown responded to
Search Avenue for the report of a
suspicious vehicle which was par-
tially in a ditch. Upon arrival,
Det. McKeown spoke with the
driver, a 22-year-old male, who
had an odor of alcohol on his
breath. After performing field so-
briety tests, he was placed under
arrest and transported to police
headquarters for processing. He
was charged with D.W.I., reckless
driving, improper turning, and
open container in a motor vehi-
cle. He was later released to a
friend and his case will be heard

On Oct 24 at 9:09 a.m., Officer
William Gaskill responded to a
Treymore Court address for the
report of an attempted entry.
Sometime between 10 p.m. on Oct.
22 and 7 a.m. on Oct. 23, someone
damaged a lock and screen to a
sliding glass door. No entry was
made to the residence.

Photography exhibit to open on Nov. 26
Award-winning Princeton pho-
tographer Lionel Goodman will
exhibit a collection of his images,
entitled People, Places, Poetry,
and Prose, at The Pennington
Schools Silva Gallery of Art. The
exhibition opens on Nov. 26, and
continues through Dec. 19.
Gallery hours are Monday
through Thursday from 11 a.m. to
4 p.m.; Friday from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m.; or by appointment. A recep-
tion with the artist will be held on
Dec. 7 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. All
events and exhibitions at the
Silva Gallery are free and open to
the public. For further informa-
tion, call Gallery Director Dolores
Eaton at (609) 7374133.
A retired chemical physicist,
Goodman has taken to observing
his world through a camera
rather than a laser beam, but all
of those years of careful observa-
tion undoubtedly feed into his
ability to capture subtle nuances
of the human condition. This se-
ries of work brings together im-
ages that reflect Goodmans inter-
est in people and the circum-
stances that affect peoples atti-
tudes and behaviors. Integrated
into the show will be literary
works by Pennington School stu-
dents that were published in the
award-winning 2012 art and liter-
ary magazine, Collage. The com-
bination of literary works and
photographic images will intensi-
fy the narrative nature of photog-
raphy, while at the same time forc-
ing new visual associations with
the student writings.
Goodman is emeritus professor
of physical chemistry at Rutgers
University and was a Guggen-
heim Fellow for his work in laser
spectroscopy. His interest in pho-
tography began eight years ago
with a gift by his wife of a digital
camera and a trip to an interna-
tional photography exposition in
Arles, France. Among numerous
other awards, Goodman has re-
ceived the John Apostolos Pho-
tography Award from the Prince-
ton Photography Club, as well as
Best in Show at the Grounds for
Sculpture Photography Exposi-
tion in 2009 and again in 2010. He
has had several solo shows, most
recently Encounters on Nassau
Street at The Gallery of the
Plainsboro Library.
Under the direction of faculty
member Michele Ruopp, the art
and literary magazine is pro-
duced yearly by students at The
Pennington School.

On a beautiful fall day Satur-
day that made not a whisper
about the coming hurricane, local
contractor Mike Ackerson stood
on the turf field at Hopewell Val-
ley Central High School that he
and the community built, and
thanked them for letting him
build it.
To the people of this commu-
nity, you have been my support in
accomplishing a lifelong dream,
said Ackersons wife, Denise, on
behalf of her husband, who stood
next to her fighting back a few
tears on the 50-yard-line of the
newly christened Ackerson Field.
The field, built with nearly $1
million of community donations,
was the scene of a festive dedica-
tion before bleachers packed with
spectators there to see the new
field and Hopewells 1 p.m. foot-
ball match up against Burlington
Township.
Ackerson, the local contractor
who along with his family and
crew donated nearly $500,000 in
labor to the field effort, joined 10
other major donors, who stood on

sions on whether or not they want to drain
their water system because now it's getting
colder and you can have freezing issues.
But, the inability or just lack of informa-
tion is preventing people from good plan-
ning," he added.
JCP&Ls offices were closed on Thurs-
day, Nov. 8 as a result of the Noreastern
snowstorm that swept through New Jersey
on the night of Wednesday, Nov. 7. When
contacting customer service, this automat-
ed message was played: Due to the severe
weather impacting our service territory,
our contact center is only responding to
calls regarding outages or emergencies. If
your call is not urgent, you may be able to
complete our inquiry by visiting our web-
site www.firsteneergycorp.com.
Pogorzelski also detailed how nine roads
still remained closed because of the de-
pendence on the power company to come
in and remove whatever was blocking each
road, which were downed power lines and
utility poles in most cases.
Because of the lack of information pro-
vided to Hopewell Township by the power
companies, many residents became more
and more impatient as the days went on
without any power, and in some cases
water, which is why Pogorzelski put a Utili-
ty Contact List on the township's website
so they knew where to voice their frustra-
tion in the government.
"We're just trying to get as many people
as much information as we can," Pogorzel-
ski said. "Residents can check the website
and call the municipal offices; staff is
being really helpful, and we just want to
make sure we help people out as much as
we can."
"For those people who are without
power, we still have the Titusville firehouse
[Union Firehouse] that is still operating. It
has cots, and if someone needed to stay
there for the night, they're more than wel-
come to," he added.
Hopewell Township is also reaching out
to FEMA for storm-related cost reimburse-
ment, but Pogorzelski was unable to pro-
vide an estimate on Nov. 7, since the figures
were still being assessed and worked out.
Township Mayor Michael Markulec said
residents that he and the township were
doing everything in their power to restore
power, and were working diligently to en-
sure every resident's power was restored as
soon as possible.
"We have provided both PSE&G and
JCP&L information on all outages and con-
tinue to push for restoration of power for
Hopewell Township," Markulec said. "The

A
BC News last month reported
that, since the Transportation
Security Administration was
formed 10 years ago, almost 400 em-
ployees have been fired for allegedly
stealing from passengers.
ABC also talked to a former TSA
worker who claims to have stolen
$800,000 worth of cash and merchan-
dise. He quoted TSA employees as say-
ing: I dont care. They aint paying me.
Theyre treating me wrong.
So, some, by no means all or even
close to a majority, of TSA workers
cant be trusted to keep their hands off
phones, tablets and cash.
We dont want to use too wide of a
brush to paint a picture that TSA em-
ployees are thieves and cant be trust-
ed. In the same ABC report, the TSA
said the number fired represented less
than one-half of 1 percent of those
who have been employed.
But the information leads to one
question: If even only a few TSA em-
ployees are stealing from passengers,
how difficult would it be for a terrorist
group to slip one or two of them a few
bucks to allow who knows what to get
through the security checkpoint?
The nations airport security system
should be changed. If were serious
about deterring terror in the sky, we
have to fix the system. It will cost
money, but it also will give us a much
better, and safer, flying experience.
One only needs to look at Israel to
get some ideas. Now, Israel is a much
smaller country with only a couple of
major airports, so perhaps not every
security tactic it uses can be adapted to
the United States.
But the U.S. can incorporate some
measures. There can be highly trained
personnel on hand to interview pas-
sengers, for example. Give a wrong or
puzzling answer? Get pulled out of line
for more questions.
Lets keep our shoes on, hire the
right people to do the job and finally
get serious about protecting airplanes
from terrorists.
in our opinion

Report shows why airline security system must be changed
Airport security
Let passengers keep their shoes on.
Hire people who know what theyre
doing. Incorporate ideas already in
practice elsewhere. Security answers
are out there, if the nation wants them.

credit and thanks to his family,
his volunteers and supporters,
who contributed in various ways
to make his win possible, as well
as his campaign team. He stated
how he is looking forward to
working with all of the current
Committee members.
"This journey began with Bob
Kecskes and me leading Citizens
for Tax Choice to give Hopewell
residents a voice in their govern-
ment," he said. "By knocking on
doors, I discovered that, despite
affiliation, we share common val-
ues. I will work to keep up the dia-
logue we started by seeking sensi-
ble solutions for all Hopewell resi-
dents."
The uncontested races that
were held in Hopewell Borough
and Pennington Borough also
placed five people on the two sep-
arate councils.
In Hopewell Borough, two can-
didates ran uncontested for two
open seats on the Hopewell Bor-
ough Council. Both incumbents,
Republican candidate David
Knights and Democratic candi-
date Debra Horowitz, were re-
elected to serve three-year terms,
according to the unofficial tallies.
Knights received 503 votes and
Horowitz received 670 votes. A
total of 1,173 votes were cast in
Hopewell Borough.
In Pennington Borough, two
candidates ran uncontested for
two open seats on the Pennington
Borough Council. Both Demo-
cratic incumbents, Dina Dunn
and Eileen Heinzel, were re-elect-
ed to serve three-year terms, ac-
cording to the unofficial tallies.
Dunn tallied 930 votes, and
Heinzel received 960 votes. Six
Personal Choice votes were cast.
One Democratic candidate,
Mary Anne Heino, took the one-
year unexpired term of Alyce Mc-
Clurg-Doldy, who recently re-
signed from her position on the
Pennington Borough Council.
She secured 951 votes or 99.79 per-
cent. Two Personal Choice votes
were cast, which only accounted
for .21 percent.
A total of 1,896 votes were cast
in Pennington Borough.

through our website (www.hopewellsun.com).
harsh reality is that the prioriti-
zation methodology for both utili-
ties is substations first, then
major power lines, and then cus-
tomers based upon outage densi-
ty. Given our low population den-
sity and the very large number of
wire breaks and trees in the wires
across the township, we are lower
on the priority list. I am as frus-
trated with the prioritization sys-
tem as anyone, and will continue
to keep pressure on both utili-
ties.
Markulec also reported that
Hopewell Township had 875
PSE&G customers and 887
JCP&L customers without power
as of Tuesday, Nov. 6.
As a result of the storm, the
school district decided to hold
school on Thursday, Nov. 8 and
Friday, Nov. 9. Although all
schools are usually closed on
those two days for the New Jersey
Education Association's (NJEA)
Teachers Convention, Superin-
tendent Tom Smith made the de-
cision to hold school since the
convention was cancelled be-
cause of the storm, and because
the district used more snow days
than it's allotted annually.
Smith also had to cancel after-
school activities on Wednesday,
Nov. 7 because of the impending
Nor'easter storm that was to hit
Hopewell on Wednesday and
Thursday.
Unlike Hopewell Township,
Hopewell Borough received very
light damage, according to Bor-
ough Mayor Paul Anzano.
"There are still some trees that
are down or leaning on private
property," Anzano said on
Wednesday, Nov. 7. "All power has
been restored as of today."
Anzano also noted how the bor-
ough, like the township, will also
be reaching out to FEMA for re-
imbursement, but is awaiting the
clearing of all tree debris to as-
sess the correct value.

medallions on the field that hon-
ored their contributions.
To name each (contributor)
would mean there would be no
game today, trustee Recreation
Foundation of Hopewell Valley
Sheryl Stone said, who spear-
headed the fundraising effort to
build the field.
Sheryl was the driving force
behind the field, schools Super-
intendent Tom Smith said. I
think our donors can attest, that
if you have ever gotten a visit
from Sheryl about a project, it is
not a matter of if it will be done,
but just a matter of how and
when.
When I look at this field, its
such a natural fit with its sur-
roundings, it feels like its always
been here, Hopewell Valley Re-
gional School Board President
Lisa Wolff said of the trees that
frame the field.
The dedication program in-
cluded a ribbon cutting by Mike
Ackersons son, Myles, as well as
a procession onto the field of the
hundreds of Hopewell Valley ath-
letes and band members who will
use it this season and for years to
come. The Bulldogs went on to
lose to the Burlington Township
Falcons 21 to 7, but the loss did
not dim the atmosphere.
Asked after the ceremony what
drove him to work several hours a
day on the field after a full day of
doing his companys work, Acker-
son offered a simple answer.
It has always been a dream of
mine to build a football field, he
said, recalling his days playing
Pop Warner and high school foot-
ball in Blairstown.
And that dream, for him and
his community, is now a reality.
Other major donors to the proj-
ect include The Maida Family
Foundation, the Murphy-Butler
Family, the HVCHS Gridiron
Club, Hopewell Valley Pop Warn-
er, Hopewell Valley YMCA,
Hopewell Valley Lacrosse, the
Recreation Foundation of
Hopewell Valley, IEW Construc-
tion Group, The Front Porch, Pen-
nington Quality Market,
Hopewell Valley Community
Bank, Hartel Timber Services,
LLC, Hopewell Valley Soccer As-
sociation, Trap Rock Industries,
