Residents push to
reduce speed limit
on Bear Tavern Road
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
In an effort to further reduce
the speed limit on Bear Tavern
Road in front of Bear Tavern Ele-
mentary School, a group of con-
cerned residents urged the town-
ship committee to draft a resolu-
tion at its last meeting.
Last year, this same group of
residents successfully managed
to persuade Mercer Countys
Board of Chosen Freeholders to
lower the speed limit on the road
from 35 mph to 30 mph when chil-
dren are present, with the help of
the township and school board.
Now, in an effort to acquire the
speed limit they originally pro-
posed 25 mph when children are
present residents appeared be-
fore the Board of Freeholders at
its meeting on May 7.
When the residents ap-
proached the Board of Freehold-
ers at a meeting last November
when lowering the speed limit
was originally proposed, Aaron
Watson, director of the Mercer
County Department of Trans-
portation and Infrastructure, said
the board would revisit the issue
in 2013.
Many residents werent satis-
fied with the reduction taken in
the fall [of 2012], said Kim Robin-
son, one of the main residents
concerned. We felt the speed
limit should be 25 mph in the
school zone to match the school
zones in every other public ele-
mentary school in Mercer Coun-
ty.
At that freeholder meeting, the
board asked the residents to reap-
pear at its May 7 meeting this
year, where they presented their
arguments again, persuading
them that Bear Tavern should
have a 25 mph speed zone, Robin-
son said.
We seemed to have convinced
them of three things, she said.
One, that state law either re-
quires or permits them to make
the speed limit 25 mph and there
is nothing preventing them from
doing so; second, that the 85th
percentile rule is irrelevant to
pedestrian and driver safety in a
school zone and shouldnt have
been used for a reason to deny the
change; and third, for safety rea-
sons, a school zone should be 25
mph.
Robinson relayed comments
from the boards members, who
all seemed to be in favor of lower-
ing the speed limit to 25 mph at

Hopewell Township is working
with the Department of Environ-
mental Protection to relocate the
Harts Corner Schoolhouse to Al-
liger Park and convert it into a
building for public use, township
officials said.
The historic schoolhouse,
which is currently located at the
corner of Route 546 and Scotch
Road, will be moved west of the
existing parking lot at Alliger
Park.
Once relocated, the building
will be used for recreation and
conservation purposes, including
meetings, display of historic in-
formation, file storage and other
park uses, said Paul Pogorzelski,
township engineer and adminis-
trator.
The building will also be modi-
fied to include restrooms.
The township is also seeking a
proposed change in the purpose
of the 10-acre tract to accommo-
date the building and be able to
provide an onsite well and septic
system for the new restrooms.
This project is the third and
last phase of the Hopewell Valley
Veterans Associations Veterans
Memorial project at the park, ac-
cording to the organizations web-
site.
The newly relocated school-
house will be designated as a
Town Center-Interpretive/Revo-
lutionary War Museum, a proj-
ect that has been in the works for
several years.
According to the HVVAs web-
site, the museum will add diversi-
ty and education and be an asset
to the community.
The township is utilizing about
$200,000 from its open space fund
for the project.
There will be one public hear-
ing on the project, slated for Mon-
day, June 24 at 7 p.m. in the mu-
nicipal building.

Howell Farm plans
to make hay on June 8
Old-fashioned weather fore-
casting will be put to the test on
Saturday, June 8 when the farm-
ers at Howell Farm do what they
do when the sun shines make
hay.
According to the Old Farmers
Almanac, the weather will be
sunny and warm when they hitch
their horses to old-fashioned
mowers, rakes and loaders to
bring in another crop of the all-
important forage product. Al-
though they chose the date back
in January, theyre confident that
the forecast will pan out.
From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., visitors
to the 130-acre farm can watch,
photograph and even help as
farmers work in hayfields and
put loose hay in the mow of a
barn with a pulley-operated hay-
fork. Mow filling and raking oper-
ations will take place during the
morning; mowing and hay load-
ing are planned during the after-
noon.
A childrens craft program,
Hay Wreath, will be offered
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cost is $2
per craft.

T
he unofficial start of summer
has come and gone. With Me-
morial Day weekend in the
rearview mirror, the focus now is on
brighter days ahead the beach, the
sun, vacations and relaxation. Presi-
dent Obama and Gov. Christie got in
the spirit last week when they toured
the Jersey Shore to assess the recovery
from Hurricane Sandy.
Even the weather is playing along,
with temperatures in the 90s last week,
and heat advisories being issued
throughout the region.
New Jersey coastal towns are hoping
and praying that the storm or other
outside forces does not affect the
summer season. And all New Jersey
residents should hope for the same, as
the summer Shore business is a huge
part of the states economy a $19 bil-
lion industry, or half of the states total
tourism revenue, according to esti-
mates.
The state is planning to spend $25
million in federal recovery money on
an advertising campaign to attract vis-
itors to the Shore. A campaign,
Stronger Than the Storm, with the
Twitter hashtag #STTS, promotes the
states coast in part by providing guide-
lines and tools for people looking to
plan a New Jersey beach vacation.
A recent AAA survey says that the
Shore will be just fine, as almost 80 per-
cent of people from New Jersey and
the Philadelphia region say that Hurri-
cane Sandy has not affected their sum-
mer travel plans to the Shore.
The proof will be in the pudding,
though, once turnout can be assessed.
So, as we said in this space a few
weeks ago, make sure you travel local
this summer and visit the states won-
derful beaches. Theyre cheap, theyre
close, and theyre a lot of fun.
And while youre doing it, dont for-
get about us, either. Send us your vaca-
tion photos, and well let all your
neighbors know just how much fun
youre having.
In the meantime, enjoy the sun!
Sun-splashed summer success?
Heres to hoping all goes well at the Jersey Shore
Dont forget about us!
While youre vacationing this summer,
dont forget about The Sun. Send us
your family or friend vacation photos,
and well show everyone in town.
Medical center breaks record
with fundraising campaign
We are pleased to share with you some
great news. The University Medical Center
of Princeton at Plainsboro has broken an-
other record, and this time, thanks to you,
we can now claim the most successful capi-
tal campaign in the history of any hospital
in New Jersey and of any hospital our size
in the nation. Our Design for Healing Cam-
paign raised more than $171 million, a
record amount, which is especially re-
markable within the context of the recent
Great Recession. The results of our cam-
paign have allowed us to pay for more than
one-third of the construction of our $523
million new hospital through philanthropy
alone.
An important point to remember as you
consider this recent achievement is that
we attained this record because of you and
the commitment of our 10,000 donors to
making our collective visions of a new hos-
pital not only a reality, but also a dream
come true. UMCPP has swiftly become a
nationally and internationally recognized
landmark. Beckers Hospital Review has
just listed UMCPP among the 100 Great
Hospitals in the United States, and a
steady stream of international delegations
from countries such as China, Canada,
Denmark, Russia, Egypt and Poland, have
toured UMCPP to learn how they can de-
sign and construct their dream hospitals
within their own communities.
We appreciate the residents of Hopewell
and Pennington, who have long supported
the medical center. Impressively, more
than 400 individuals, business and founda-
tions from Hopewell and Pennington alone
contributed to this effort. We also give spe-
cial thanks to the many first-time donors
and all of those who shared the vision of
building a hospital with the best care, the
best setting and most advanced technology
close to home.
On behalf of the Princeton HealthCare
System Foundation Board of Directors, the
Princeton HealthCare System Board of
Trustees, our medical staff, and our more
than 3,000 employees, we want to express
our heartfelt appreciation for the commu-
nitys support. Your generosity helped to
make the campaign an unprecedented suc-
cess and enabled us to build a hospital de-
signed and equipped for the future of medi-
cine. The success of this campaign is clear-
ly an incredible accomplishment for our
entire central New Jersey community. To-
gether, we made a substantial investment
to ensure outstanding clinical care for all
our families for generations to come.
We did it. We made our dream hospital a
reality thanks to you.
