New owners for Hopewell Pharmacy

COMMUNITYNEWS.ORG

Cross country at the Crossing

By BRiLLian Bao James Palmieri and Gene Ragazzo always knew they wanted to go into business together. The two men have been best friends for over 50 years, 31 of which they spent running Hopewell Pharmacy together.

“That was a marriage in and of itself,” Palmieri says with a laughs. “Being partners for over 32 years with Gene was a good experience, a great experience, a great ride.”

That ride has finally come to a close. Four years ago, Palmieri purchased Ragazzo’s stake in the business, and afterward approached his niece, JoAnn Hobson, about one day selling the pharmacy to her.

This year, the transaction finally took place, with Hobson and her business partner, Eric Jaderlund, taking ownership from Palmieri on Aug. 31 of this year. Palmieri had long considered Hobson, who had worked at the pharmacy for nearly 30 years, the leading candidate to take over the store.

Hobson recounts the moment Palmieri approached her about handing off the business.

“First I was excited. Then I was overwhelmed. Then nervous,” she said with a laugh. “I said right away that I’d like to buy it.”

“It was the same for me,” said Jaderlund. “When the opporSee PHARMACY, Page 10

Hopewell Elementary goes hydroponic School earns farmto-school award from state

By Sophia Cai For “Take Your Parents to Lunch Day” earlier this month, Hopewell Elementary School students picked basil from the school’s vertical farm that was later featured in a deconstructed caprese salad. It is the

latest item to be added to the school’s organic homemade lunch menu, available three times a week, with vertical farm produce infused into two of those three meals.

Hopewell Elementary’s engagement in hydroponics, the urban farm practice of growing produce in a nutrientdense solution with no soil, is among its latest sustainability efforts for which it was recognized with the 2018 Best of New Jersey Farm to School award

by the NJDA and Secretary of Agriculture.

The school teamed up with Dr. Paul Gauthier, founder and director of the Princeton University Vertical Farming Project, to build its hydroponic vertical farm. The onsite, indoor vertical system has been fully functioning since September, providing students with organic produce for lunch and an invaluable multifaceted hands-on scientific experience.

Around Town Watershed festival evokes Old Havana

COMPLETE HEALTH YOGA FEELING STIFF? JOINT PAIN?

COME EXPERIENCE FREEDOM IN YOUR JOINTS AND LET GO OF PAIN!

Introduction to Kaiut Yoga with Marilynn Cowgill Mondays at 1:30 pm

Sandra Allen, Carrie Dyckman, Lindsay Bracken and Jennifer Staikos were chairs for this year’s Watershed Institute fundraiser, held Oct. 13, 2018.

About 270 festgoers celebrated the culture, music and food of Old Havana at The Watershed Institute’s 2018 FEST: A Passport to Cuba.

At the 43rd annual FEST, the Watershed’s major fundraising event, guests bid on silent auction items that included fine artwork, jewelry and chocolate.

They also bid on dozens of vacation, dining, sports and other packages ranging from a Vermont weekend to breakfast at Tiffany’s in New York.

Proceeds from many generous individual and corporate sponsors, as well as private donations, support the Watershed’s mission to protect and restore clean water and healthy habitats in central New Jersey.

“We’re incredibly grateful for the energy, creativity and support of our FEST committee and hundreds of loyal supporters,” said Jim Waltman, executive director of the Watershed.

The evening featured a Cubanthemed dinner, cocktails, desserts and an array of specialty coffees. Many couples enjoyed dancing to music played by the Tren Latino Band inside the LEEDPlatinum Watershed Center.

FEST committee chairs were Sandra Allen, Carrie Dyckman, Lindsay Bracken and Jennifer Staikos.

11 acres added to Mount Rose Preserve in Hopewell More than three years after the Mount Rose Preserve was created at the site of the former Western Electric/ AT&T property on Carter Road, an additional parcel of land for the 350-acre public park has been secured.

On Oct. 9, New Jersey Conservation Foundation purchased 11 acres where the Western Electric’s large conference center-hotel had stood on the west side of Carter Rd. Opened in 1959, the center was abandoned many years ago. The

building was finally demolished and the land restored to open space per the terms of New Jersey Conservation’s contract to purchase the site.

“These 11 acres were the proverbial hole in the doughnut, since the surrounding land was preserved in 2015,” said Michele S. Byers, executive director, who adds that future plans for the site include a meadow of native plants and wildflowers with a new trail for the public.

New Jersey Conservation paid $52,250 for the land. Katherine Dresdner started the legal fight to preserve the land from inappropriate development in 2007 and worked with New Jersey Conservation to raise the funds for the project.

The bulk of the Mount Rose Preserve was acquired in April 2015 by a partnership of more than a dozen public agencies and nonprofit organizations, as part of an innovative project to convert the 1950s corporate campus into a public park. In addition to New Jersey Conservation, Mercer County and Hopewell Township, partners included Hopewell Valley Citizens Group Inc., Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space, New Jersey Green Acres Program, The Watershed Institute, Lawrence Hopewell Trail, Hopewell Borough, Pennington Borough, Friends of Princeton Open Space, D&R Greenway Land Trust, Lawrence Township and Princeton.

The Mount Rose Preserve property was originally developed as a corporate park on both sides of Carter Road in Hopewell Valley for Western Electric/ AT&T, and was the first of its kind in the United States.

The Mount Rose Preserve is now owned and managed by a partnership including New Jersey Conservation Foundation, Hopewell Township, Mercer County, and the Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space.

Inbox Readers endorse committee candidates All is not well in Hopewell. With little or no public involvement and without the input of our school board, Julie Blake and the township committee have given away our future in the form of millions in tax breaks to developers who are set to build thousands of homes — huge projects that will divert funding from our schools and place undue stress on our infrastructure. If plans are allowed to proceed, Hopewell residents will be on the hook to pay when the bill comes due.

We deserve better. I’m voting for Ed Jackowski this November for Hopewell Township Committee because he’ll help us halt these projects and find a path to growth that makes sense for the people of Hopewell. Ed’s honesty and openness to ideas have helped him build and run his business in Hopewell for more than 20 years. His roots in the community run deep. He’ll always put Hopewell first.

I’m not ready to feed our current committee’s appetite for rapid, rabid development. But I am ready for transparency, balance and smart, sustainable growth.

Daniel Nestle Hopewell Township residents have an opportunity to vote for a really unique individual on Nov 6. She personifies the best sort of public servant. She is smart.

She works very hard and is very effective as a member of the township committee. Equally important, however, is that she is kind and calm and positive.

She listens to everyone — all sides — with an open mind. She listens to learn about concerns of the township’s residents: what we want and need so that our township government can do things better than has previously been done.

This really special person is Julie Blake: wife, mother, professional high school counselor, resident of Brandon Farms, and currently Hopewell Township’s deputy mayor. Here’s one example of what she has done for us recently that few people know about.

Julie Blake has been extremely active in advocating for safe water and better communication from Trenton Water Works regarding lead contamination in the water supply of other municipalities.

Since TWW provides the water to 40 percent of Hopewell Township, she has attended several mayor’s meetings in Trenton, spoke at the Trenton City Council, and pushed for Hopewell Township to do its own testing, which was done.

She arranged for the professionals at TWW to answer our questions at Stony Brook Elementary. She learned that testing had been done at Stony Brook Elementary School and that all levels were in accepted ranges. She is keeping a watchful eye on TWW to be assured that the township has safe water. But she never forgot about the many township residents with well water. She arranged that these homeowners can get their water tested for lead as well, for free. (Homeowners

can go the township Health Department website for more information.)

No one pressured Julie Blake to do this. She saw a potential problem and addressed it without fanfare, without self promotion. This is how she works.

I hope you will join me in re-electing her.

Billie Moore I am an independent voter who will not let party lines in local government blur what is best for our community. Living in West Windsor for many years, I witnessed overdevelopment of housing, lack of a master plan, overcrowding of schools and a higher tax burden on residents. I relocated my family to Hopewell Township for the smaller schools, open space, natural environment and smalltown community. Since moving to Hopewell Township, I’ve seen our taxes increase and open space decrease.

Ed “Jack” Jackowski has demonstrated keen awareness of these issues, and will fight to restore order and balance to our township, while examining all options, and listening to our concerns. We need more people like Jack stepping up to get involved.

Scott Boyarsky Ed Jackowski has promised to listen respectfully to the public and to consider alternatives when key issues emerge within the township. Did you know that the present committee rushed to a decision in approving the construction of 2,881 market rate housing units and a community center, both without any meaningful public input? The addition of these housing units will increase our student body by roughly 3,500 students and require the building of two new schools.

Additionally, did you know that the current committee approved a PILOT program which provides the developers a considerable tax break at the expense of our school district. Included within these provisions, builders are not required to pay for any associated school construction costs, increases in teaching staff or the required increases in police, fire, EMT, public works equipment or the additional municipal staff necessary to support this growth.

Who will be left to pay for these changes in our township? These are critical issues for our citizens to be aware of.

A better balance on the committee will encourage our very talented citizens to bring concerns to a forum where every voice matters and every opinion counts.

Attending a number of Ed’s events, I’ve decided that he is a man of great integrity and if elected, is one who will work tirelessly to ensure our township is informed, engaged, and has a voice in what matters most in Hopewell Township.

Since 2013, the Sourland Conservancy has commissioned numerous mapping projects related to open space analysis and hiking trails. In 2014, when Burkman was serving as a Sourland Conservancy trustee, he began a project to produce maps for all of the 25 hike sites in the Sourland region.

Earlier this year, the Conservancy released a bound booklet, the Sourland Region Hiking Atlas, that included those maps and information about the sites. These projects have become the basis for the Conservancy’s latest mapping project: the Sourland Conservancy Online Atlas, its first online interactive mapping application.

Students Nomsa Nganang, Calum Shah, Sophia Pellegrino, Jack Sunderland and Ava Wemple in Hopewell Elementar y School’s hydroponic garden.

HYDRO continued from Page 1 “The kids are involved in everything from planting to maintaining, to measuring PH levels, to harvesting and consumption in the cafeteria,” says Principal David Friedrich. The farm is currently growing various types of lettuce, spinach, basil, cilantro, dill, bok choy, several varieties of strawberries and lunchbox peppers.

The vertical farm has become a center piece of the school’s plant-based cur-

riculum that supports next gen science standards, says Helen Corveleyn, the school’s K-5 STEM facilitator.

“There are so many applications that fit in naturally, so it’s not creating a project for kids to do and look at it at one isolated time. It’s crossing over into all walks of science,” she says.

Students learn about the engineering process, lighting and electromagnetic spectrum, human impact of food waste in addition to the obvious life science

connections.

“Tracing the stages of the plant life cycle is lot easier to do hydroponically than it is in soil farming because you’re actually seeing the seed coming out of the seed kernel,” says Corveleyn.

Gauthier believes this visual aspect of the farm makes the produce more appetizing. “There’s something magical about growing your own food. I believe if people see where plants grow, they’re more likely to eat it,” Gauthier says.

“Seeing kids excited about lettuce means something to me because at Princeton, we recently had an event with pizza, and as soon as there was green on it, nobody was taking them.”

Corvelyn has noticed that the farm has allowed her students to feel positive peer pressure for eating healthily. “My kindergarten class will come in and their palates aren’t developed yet, so when they’re offered something from the garden, they’ll see the guy next to them eating it, so they’ll eat it too.”

Other benefits of the farm include consistency in growing and teaching, and the ability to control water and nutrient input.

“Environmentally, you can save on water because there is no run-off. At the same time, you can control the nutrients and light,” says Gauthier.

He explains that adjusting nutrient levels and light spectrum and intensity has been instrumental in determining taste of the produce.

“For lettuce, I recommended special white lights with high intensity. Of course, plants will grow if you get pink light, but the taste won’t necessarily follow. So white light, broad spectrum at high intensity will make the lettuce leaves slightly thicker and darker and sweeter.”

The “sweet” lettuce, the farm’s most popular produce, accounts for 50 percent of the lettuce that students consume for lunch. “We want to eventually be self-sustaining on our lettuce so we’re not buying lettuce from anywhere else,” Friedrich says.

PHARMACY continued from Page 1 tunity came, when JoAnn asked me, I didn’t hesitate.”

Hobson started working at the pharmacy in 1987 when she was in college studying pharmacy science. She was eventually offered a full-time position after graduation from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, and has remained at the pharmacy since.

Jaderlund joined the pharmacy in 2007. After graduating from the Rutgers College of Pharmacy in 1994, he spent a decade working as a pharmacy manager at CVS before switching over to work as a pharmacy manager at Wegmans for three more years. He then worked as a supervisory pharmacist at Hopewell Pharmacy for nearly seven years before leaving to work at Atlas Drug and Nutrition.

When Hobson contacted him to ask about running the pharmacy together, he decided to return to Hopewell.

Hobson, who grew up in Hamilton, lives in Pennington with her husband Jeff, who works in information technology for the state. The couple has three children: Dylan and Ryan, 17, and Jeffrey, 16. Jaderlund currently lives in Bridgewater with his daughters Mia, 19, and Sydney, 14.

Though ownership has changed, it is likely that Hopewell Pharmacy customers have noticed little difference in day-to-day operations. Hobson and Jaderlund are both familiar faces in the community.

Hobson and Jaderlund have big plans for the future of the pharmacy. Right

The pair took ownership of the pharmacy Sept. 1, 2018 (Staff photo by Joe Emanski.) now, they’re working on expanding their compounding operations and lines of pet supplements, nutritional supplements, and hemp products. Regardless of what changes the future holds, both owners are determined to prioritize the local presence and community ties their predecessors worked so hard to build. *** Palmieri and Ragazzo have known each other since high school. After

rooming together for four years at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Sciences, both men worked in various hospitals and pharmacies in the area, one of which was Hopewell Pharmacy.

In 1979, Palmieri started to work full time for the pharmacy, while Ragazzo would occasionally fill in.

In 1986, Palmieri and Ragazzo received the opportunity to buy a pharmacy in Washington Township, Warren

County. According to Palmieri, the two men were initially hesitant about the purchase because the pharmacy was an hour and a half drive from where they lived in Trenton.

After some deliberation, though, they took the offer. This was the opportunity they had been waiting for. The duo officially purchased the pharmacy on Oct. 1, 1986.

Eleven months later, the men were asked to return to Hopewell Pharmacy to take over from the owners at the time, Leonard Caputo and George Neeley.

Palmieri and Ragazzo knew the owners, who had run the pharmacy for 25 years, well. Palmieri and Ragazzo again hesitated. Though they didn’t want to run a second pharmacy, they knew Hopewell, loved the community, and ultimately took the offer. They started as the new owners at Hopewell Pharmacy on Sept.

1, 1987, 11 months after they took over their first shop.

“We knew we were doing the right thing because it was such a good area and a great store,” Palmieri said. “It was a no brainer to go back to Hopewell.”

The new owners worked hard to preserve what they describe as the “old and stoic” character of the store. The building that occupies 1 W. Broad St. dates back over 100 years. Decades ago, the building comprised three stores: the post office, a five-and-dime store, and the pharmacy. As time passed, the post office moved down the street, and the five and dime store evolved into a cardand-gift section. Palmieri said the two men kept the section and wood floors

until they began expanding the business in 1994.

In January 1994, with their eye on the national market, Palmieri and Ragazzo introduced the concept of compounding, the process by which pharmacists use raw ingredients to create different dosages and forms of medication for doctors to prescribe their patients, to the pharmacy. As the pharmacy’s popularity as a compounding center grew, the new owners realized they had to make space for their new business. The retail section of the store shrank. The card and gift store became a laboratory. The stationery department became the cleanroom.

The owners’ hard work paid off. After years of renovations and expansions, the two successfully transformed Hopewell into a national compounding pharmacy.

While the pharmacy maintains its local business in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York, it also services customers nationally and internationally. Today, Hopewell Pharmacy is one of the few compounding pharmacies in the country compliant with new regulatory standards set to be introduced next year.

Despite the changes, Palmieri and Ragazzo said they always made sure to prioritize close relations with the community. They emphasized the independence of the store during their ownership, maintaining good customer service, high-quality products, and competitive pricing.

“People would always comment that it still has that old-time pharmacy feel, that good community feel, that old mom-andpop store feel,” Palmieri said. “That’s what we tried to keep.”

Both Palmieri and Ragazzo have moved away from the area. Palmieri, who lived in East Amwell while running the pharmacy, has relocated to Broomall, Pennsylvania to live closer to his daughters, Lauren, age 31, and Melissa, age 28, and his granddaughter, Adelyn. Palmieri lives with his wife,

Annmarie, who worked as a nurse for four years before retiring to raise the couple’s children.

Ragazzo, who lived in Pennington for 25 years, has also relocated since leaving the pharmacy. He lives in New Hope, Pennsylvania and has one daughter, Natalie, age 22, who recently graduated from theatre school in Nashville.

While Palmieri and Ragazzo have officially handed over ownership of the pharmacy, they have not stopped pursuing other business ventures together.

Currently, the two are financial investors in a yoga studio and a speed, agility and strength training school for youth. The two businesses, Honor Yoga and the Parisi Speed School, are both located in Washington, New Jersey.

They have not ruled out the idea of returning to the pharmacy business, either.

“I love pharmacy and I love being a pharmacist, so I’m sure I’m going to revisit that,” said Palmieri. “But it’s only been six weeks now that I’ve been out of the business. I have to take a step back, enjoy life, do a bit of traveling, enjoy my first granddaughter, and go from there.” *** While it is uncertain where Palmieri and Ragazzo will end up in the future, it is clear that they made a lasting impact at the pharmacy.

“They built relationships with doctors and created a foundation,” Hobson says. “They built a legacy. They built a reputation.”

Palmieri said he believes Hobson and Jaderlund, will continue to maintain that same character of the pharmacy in the years to come. Both Hobson and Jaderlund, know the pharmacy inside and out.

“I was aiming to pass it along to her and keep that same feeling of the pharmacy going for the coming years,” said Palmieri. “I’m sure she and Eric going to carry on the traditions of Hopewell Pharmacy in a great way.”

150 HoVal Girl Scouts camp out The Hopewell Valley Girl Scouts held their annual camp out on the property of the Village Learning Center on the weekend of Oct. 13 and 14. Despite morning rain and cool temperatures throughout the day and night, more than 150 girls ranging from 1st to 12th grade came together to learn essential camping skills including fire building, knife use, and knot tying.

The scouts also enjoyed hiking, an obstacle course, decorating pumpkins, making friendship rocks and bird feeders, and a campfire complete with singing and s’mores. Older girls taught skills to the younger girls, allowing everyone to earn their badges.

In order to accommodate the large turnout, some HVGS alumni returned to pitch in. Katy Nyby is a Silver Award Girl Scout who recently graduated from New Jersey Institute of Technology and now works at Johnson and Johnson. “It was wonderful growing up as a Girl Scout. I learned so much that continues to help me today,” she said.

Roxanne Clarke, service unit co-man-

ager, noted the tremendous community support. “All of this was made possible by the truly dedicated and hardworking volunteers and local businesses! Everyone had a great time; we hope that this event has begun a life-long love of camping,” she said.

Hopewell Valley Girl Scouts depend on adult volunteers who guide the girls all year long as well as the many local community members who help make the campout a success. Event organizers thanked Mary Innocenzi, owner of the Village Learning Center; Jim Sansone of Sansone’s Farm Market; Andy Fosina of the Hopewell Township Bureau of Fire Safety; and Chief Lance Maloney of the Hopewell Township Police Department.

“Thanks to all scouts, volunteers, and business owners for helping Hopewell Valley Girl Scouts achieve our mission: building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place,” Clarke said.

History teacher takes his shot at winning on ‘Jeopardy!’

By Sophia Cai

Barry made a final bet of $1,000. That may seem like an unusually low bet, but it was consistent with a betting strategy that he had thought out well in advance.

He had calculated that if he was in second place going into the final question, and the first place contestant was not running away with the game, the best move would be to make a small bet.

“If all three of us get the question right, there is no way I’m going to win because the person ahead of me is going to bet enough money that even if I double, I won’t win,” he said in an interview conducted after the show aired.

As such, Barry needed to play for a scenario in which that doesn’t happen.

“There is another scenario in which I get it right and the other [contestants] get it wrong, but that’s not nearly as likely as all three of us getting it wrong. Either

way, the way I bet would have worked for either of the two scenarios.”

Barry was very worried at that point, and so were his fiancée, his brother, and mother. “My brother was terrified and worried I was going to embarrass myself on TV,” he said.

Barry’s fiancée Shelly Rzewuski, a special education teacher, says she was thrilled when Barry got the call to appear on the show. “It worked out really nicely with our already-planned trip out West,” she said. “It was perfect timing too, since Kian doesn’t work in the summer. He was able to spend almost a full month preparing and studying.”

Rzewuski helped quiz Barry and make a few note cards, but says Barry did much of the preparation on his own.

When asked if his experience competing on Jeopardy! has changed his approach to teaching, he said, “Teaching is not about trivia. In fact, I emphasize the opposite of that.”

Although his family members weren’t under the same contract that prohibits Barry from disclosing the results of the show before it airs, he asked them to keep it under wraps. “It’s more fun that way, so that’s what we did,” he said.

He said he’s watched the show ever since he was a little kid. “It’s an American institution. I can’t believe I got to be a part of it. It’s really incredible, so I’m very lucky,” he said.

COMMITTEE cont. from Page 13 taxes). No additional such agreements should be signed without comprehensive cost benefit analysis.

Julie Blake: I have a record of fiscal responsibility and, if elected, will continue to watch our finances carefully. Since 2015, we’ve reduced the township’s total operating expenses by 5.9 percent. Over the same period, our average budget increase has been less than 2 percent. Over the past two years, we have reduced the township’s overall debt by 12 percent. For three years in a row, Hopewell Township Committee has delivered the lowest equalized municipal tax rate in the entire county.

The sale and development of the Zaitz and Woodmont properties will bring over $110 million to the township over the next 30 years. In an official letter to the township committee, the school superintendent, Dr. Thomas Smith, described the financial benefits of this PILOT agreement as “The district assumes any (PILOT) monies will be used by the township to offset the overall tax burden on the residents of Hopewell Township.”

This will not take money from schools. Dr. Smith explained that under the agreement the schools will “receive the exact amount we requested.”

HE: Residents served by the Trenton Water Works are rightly concerned at the regular reports of substandard water quality and mismanagement at the facility. What will you do as a member of the commit-

tee to ensure that township residents always have safe water to drink?

Julie Blake: After a series of water notifications were sent by Trenton Water Works to its customers, I met with both Trenton mayors Jackson and Gusciora about our water safety and spoke about my concerns at a public Trenton Council meeting. As a cautionary measure, I pushed to have the township’s water tested. When the new administration in Trenton announced public water meetings, I arranged for their professionals to come and speak at Stony Brook Elementary School. I will continue these efforts to ensure safe drinking water.

While I live in Brandon Farms and am a customer of TWW, it’s important to note that many residents in the township depend on well water and also have concerns about their water safety. The Environmental Commission and the township routinely monitor water levels throughout the Valley. In addition to fighting against the PennEast Pipeline which threatens our water source, I have secured a commitment from a nonprofit agency to provide free lead testing kits to residents who need help.

Edward Jackowski: I attended the information session run by Trenton Water. Their assurances are promising, but Hopewell Township must remain vigilant. Trenton Water does not want to create an advisory structure that involves Hopewell Township, and our local government is not pressing for its creation. Hopewell Township must seek a structure that permits our local

officials and experts to watch Trenton Water decisions.

Water quality is an essential part of our quality of life. Our local government must have a seat at the table.

HE: The township has agreed to zone for hundreds of affordable housing units to be built by 2025, as is true for many of the surrounding municipalities in the area. There are some people in town who believe that Hopewell’s unique character will be lost if these housing units are built. What can you as a member of the township committee do to satisfy the affordable housing requirement while safeguarding Hopewell’s qualities? Or is this simply not possible?

Edward Jackowski: Every alternative needed to be fully explored before the contracts with developers were signed. Some 100 percent affordable units should have been created to reduce the overall tax impact. Other alternatives include rehab units for which double credits are offered. There are currently more than 200 homes for sale in the township of which 18 of them (as of two months ago) are affordable housing.

We must also explore the idea of new legislation that might, for example, transfer some of our market rate units to Trenton, a solution that the present Mayor of Trenton strongly favors. Other new legislation will reduce the overall impact on Hopewell Township given its unique status as the supplier of ground-

water to more than 1.5 million users.

The township committee must work very hard to shape and encourage the passage of this legislation. To date, those contacts with the legislature by our current town leaders, have been minimal.

Julie Blake: This is not a challenge we asked for. The challenge was mandated from the state Supreme Court, and regardless of party, all elected officials have to enforce this decision. But we can meet the mandates and maintain our character by continually emphasizing the historic and environmentally fragile nature of our community and by creating parks and open spaces. The areas that are being developed have been zoned for development for over 15 years. These areas are near I-95 to reduce commuter traffic through town.

The planning board did a good job anticipating these needs, and as a committee we have followed their principles carefully. The creation of an environmentally sensitive master plan, the regular public hearings of the planning board, and the township committee’s review over the past 3 years have ensured that this is not a partisan process and that decisions have been made by multiple generations of Hopewell leaders.

HE: Give the Hopewell Township Committee a grade on its overall performance over the past 5 years, and explain why you gave it that grade.

Julie Blake: B+. We’ve worked hard, we’ve accomplished a lot, we can always

do better. Experience and knowledge count. This group has a lot of it, and if I return to the committee, we can accomplish even more.

Here’s my vision for Hopewell Township: it is essential to watch our spending, but we must also continue to create spaces where we meet and come together as a community. We all benefit from preserved farmland, open space, parks, trails, and sites for recreation including the proposed Community and Senior Center.

It is my hope that over the next three years, the committee can continue to build on what makes Hopewell Township such a special place.

Edward Jackowski: Overall, just a C-. Public participation is actively discouraged. Police have been called at committee meetings to discourage citizens from taking part and a clock prevents citizens from speaking for more than three minutes. Regular meetings are being routinely cancelled, including the last meeting before the election.

Recently, a new newsletter provided political aid to the deputy mayor on the public’s dole.

Most importantly, the township signed all of the affordable housing settlements without a work session or any meaningful public involvement. As part of the settlement, the township sold a parcel behind ShopRite worth $5 million to developers for $10,000. The PILOT program robs our schools of $56 million over the next 30 years.

HE: It wasn’t that long ago that towns touted their ability to foster residential and commercial growth.

It was seen as a sign of desirability and economic health. Nowadays, and not just in Hopewell, growth tends to be treated with hesitancy, doubt or skepticism; even proponents of continued development are often war y of being seen as progrowth. Why do you think we’ve seen this change over time, and what do you think it means for the future of a place like Hopewell Township?

Julie Blake: Growth for growth’s sake is not a plan. In 2002 the Planning Board created a master plan to safeguard our environmental resources and give a blueprint for future development.

I am committed to its vision for protecting environmentally sensitive areas and maintaining our air and water.

Development needs to be sustainable and address our present needs without compromising the future. We need to preserve Hopewell’s history and rural character. Improving our social infrastructure (eg, trails, parks, greenways) is essential to promoting a healthy community.

Edward Jackowski: Growth was seen as a way to bring tax ratables into the coffers with limited impact on the spending side since the majority of our tax bill goes toward education. However, the infrastructure costs were ignored, and now you see the increased costs required for public works, police and safety, et cetera. Additionally, Hopewell

Township’s existing roadways do not support increased traffic, as anyone trying to travel south on Route 31 in the morning can attest to.

I’m amazed that as a township, we still do not have an economic development plan, nor a manner to begin getting the conversation going on this topic. This has been requested at every meeting this year by John Hart and Mayor Kuchinski and Deputy Mayor Blake continue to stonewall having this conversation.

Residents are moving out of New Jersey in droves, seeking lower taxes in Pennsylvania or elsewhere. We can see this trend here in Hopewell, as there are currently over 200 homes on the market.

It’s already a buyer’s market, with housing values starting to plummet. We also have commercial vacancies throughout the town.

Until we see that the demand for more growth is there, we should attempt to minimize development as much as we can within the COAH mandates.

HE: Why are you the right person to help lead Hopewell Township and its committee forward for the next three years?

Edward Jackowski: I am the right person for the township because I will vote for topics and issues with a nonpartisan mind set. I support stopping the overdevelopment of Hopewell Township from developers and protecting the land that was originally dedicated for open space. I will listen to my neighbors and

community members, allowing them to fully voice their concerns and questions as opposed to just rubber stamping decisions and ordinances.

I have obtained the leadership skills necessary to assist this township in making financially sound decisions through my military experience as well as my experience as a local business owner.

My wife and I love raising our family in Hopewell Valley, and I feel it is time to give back to the community that has given us so much. Therefore, I am hoping to be elected and serve on the Hopewell Township Committee to restore good government, transparency, fiscal responsibility and public input.

Julie Blake: I have a proven track record of keeping spending down, reducing debt, and finding new revenue streams to ensure that everyone who wants to stay in Hopewell Township can afford to. I strongly believe that we have to meet and listen to all residents, new and old, to ensure that we all have a voice in how we keep our taxes in check and our environment safe.

My nature is to look for the good and to find ways to build on what is working.

I don’t avoid problems because they are difficult — I work with others to find the best solutions. As a counselor, I have learned the value of listening to people and working for their goals. On the committee, I’ve used my training to work with people with different perspectives and helped them come to fair and reasonable solutions.

Ed “Jack” Jackowski: Local Businessman and Long-time Resident committed to Hopewell Township Ed “Jack” Jackowski has been a vital part of the HopewellPennington community since 1996.

When Jackowski first purchased the land, there was nothing there but the greenhouse, which the previous owner had built in the 1970s. For the first five years the Jackowskis concentrated on fixing up the property. As a result of their hard work and dedication, Jack’s Greenhouse and Farm has grown to become one of the area’s largest nurseries. Today, he has 13 acres at 10 Woosamonsa Road and around 11 more acres in the area where he also grows his stock.

Jackowski, who was first called “Jack” during his days in the Marine Corps, has had a hands on approach to the business from its beginnings.

Conveniently located at 10 Woosamonsa Road in Pennington, Jack’s is the perfect destination for preparing your garden and yard for every season. Jack’s has something for every season: Spring, Summer, Fall and Christmas Season! The nursery is full of annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs.

Jackowski says, “Because most of the plants that we have to offer are grown right here, we have the advantage of providing quality nursery stock at a great price. You pick and we dig! The plants that we do not grow, we buy from within the state. This ensures that your plant is hardy and can withstand our climate changes from a wet summer to a very cold winter. We are also a Design/Build Landscape firm offering one stop shopping for all your outdoor needs.”

“With the holidays quickly approaching, we are gearing up for a festive time. We have a wide array of poinsettias in a variety of colors and patterns, from the classic full red or white to plants with variegated leaves that look like candy canes. Come in and let us design your own wreathes that are hand-decorated for a unique look.”

“We offer balled Christmas trees that can be planted after the holiday to enhance your yard or you can bring the family to cut your own (at this time there is a limited supply.)

about landscaping in the region.

“Know your site! Does it have sun or shade. If sun, is it morning or afternoon? A plant that needs full sun, requires a good eight to ten hours of direct sun a day to flourish.

Sure, that beautiful Butterfly Bush would look great on the north side of your house, but it will not survive for long. Then consider the soil.

Does it have good drainage? Is it heavy clay, shale or sandy? And do not forget the pH especially if you want brilliant azaleas or hydrangeas.

There are many factors to consider when planning the perfect garden.”

The Jackowskis are committed to being a strong part of the HopewellPennington area. “We live at the nursery so our business is literally our home. We strive to be active in social and civic events in town.”

They are a proud sponsor of the Hopewell Valley Soccer Association.

Jack is also committed to giving back to the community that has been so good to them and is running for a Hopewell Township Committee seat in the upcoming election, Tuesday, November 6th.

Sports Dedication pays off for rising HoVal hockey star

By Rich Fisher When it comes to athletics, Bella DiNardo is not unlike the girl who flirted with all the boys until Prince Charming came along and stole her heart.

“When I was younger I played soccer, basketball, and I even did cross country for a year,” the Hopewell Valley Central High School sophomore said. “Once I started playing field hockey my passion for that sport grew bigger than any other. Two years ago when I was heading into my freshman year I decided that I only wanted to play field hockey.”

Just what was it that grabbed her?

“I love field hockey because of the challenge to do better every day; whether it’s in training or a game,” DiNardo said.

“I also love the people who I have met along the journey. I have met many new people who I have become close friends with. My teammates are definitely a main factor that have contributed in my passion for the game.”

It was those teammates who helped DiNardo through a freshman season in which, for the first time, field hockey wasn’t flowing free and easy. She was a swing player for the JV and varsity, scoring one goal on the big club while getting limited time.

“A year ago my confidence was struggling in my play and my teammates and coaches have helped me immensely with that,” she said.

Some extra effort on Bella’s part also played a part, as she noted, “From last season to this season I did not go a week without training. This has helped me improve my skills and aggressiveness near the cage.”

The results have been easily noticeable. As of Oct. 14, DiNardo was tied with Kelsey Fithen for the team lead in goals with 11; and she was second on the team in overall scoring with 11 goals and five assists.

“Bella has really stepped up, she’s done so much work outside of the season,” coach Pam Edwards said. “She has just grown leaps and bounds from last year. Coming in last year I knew she was a hard worker, a great kid. She really worked on her fundamentals, she worked on her speed. Her shot has gotten really strong.”

DiNardo’s emergence has helped open things up for Fithen (11 goals, 10 assists), who emerged as a dangerous offensive threat last season; and other quality scorers such as Chloe McGregor (8 goals, 4 assists) and Kileigh Pfluger (5 goals, 5 assists).

DiNardo gives the seniors credit for helping her come along.

“The team has a lot of talent,” she said.

“Kileigh Pfluger, Kelsey Fithen and also Gabbi Gomez have consistently contributed every year, including inspiring me through their passion for field hockey.

They will certainly be missed next year and it’s been great to have the opportunity to compete with them.”

DiNardo began field hockey at age 7, playing in a Saturday morning clinic run by the renowned Cris Maloney. That ignited a passion that took her to the Princeton Field Hockey Club, run by the Princeton University coaches.

“They have one of the top programs in the country and I’m fortunate to have such wonderful coaching,” DiNardo said. “Of course when you first start playing, the game is a very slow speed, but as I began to improve the game became very fast paced. I would have never imagined me playing at the speed during a game that I am today.”

Much of that has to do with a yearround dedication to the sport.

“Playing on both my school and club team continues to test me and make me a better player,” she said. “Last year was the first year where I did not stop training after the school season.”

Rather than take a break, DiNardo went to camps, tournaments, club practices and other field hockey events.

“She’s highly determined, she sets goals for herself that she tries to achieve,” Edwards said. “We had high expectations for her and it’s nice to see her stepping up and giving 100 percent at games and practices too.”

DiNardo feels with the abundance of talent on the Bulldogs, who were 11-4-1 at mid-October, it makes things easier for more girls to score, since there are so many weapons to worry about.

“We have 10 players who have scored goals. That makes it pretty difficult for opposing teams because they may focus on me, Kelsey and Kileigh, but that leaves seven others who are capable of scoring. Additionally, our defense has been awesome and this has allowed us to be aggressive on offense.

“Every defensive player has been a big part of getting the ball downfield to set up the scoring opportunities for the mids and forwards. Not to mention, we have back defenders, like Meggy Wiley, who have scored too. The ability for any player on our team to score opens it up for everyone and also takes the pressure off of any one player.”

When it comes to field hockey, however, the only pressure DiNardo feels is waiting for the game to start, because she just can’t wait.

“Right now, for me, it’s all about field hockey and studying,” she said. “I’d like to play field hockey in college and this is a big year, both this season and the offseason, to do my best as a student-athlete and hopefully open up some college opportunities.”

Because a love like this is hard to find.

SCHORE TO PLEASE

Tales of a hunter-scavenger

By Robin Schore I pick up stuff, either while bike riding or walking the beach. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I am Indiana Jones. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, I am a nut pushing a shopping cart full of junk talking to himself.

On Sundays, I survey my gathered treasures and gloat.

A mere year ago, while biking through Hopewell Boro, I found a Rolex. Actually, it was a Casio, but what’s the difference.

Both tell time. The watch had been run over, but it worked. The watchband was ruined. A few months earlier, I found an irreparable watch full of seawater on the beach with a perfectly functioning watchband. The two finds were quickly joined. Clearly, this match is confirmation that there are mysterious divine forces at work in the universe.

This true fact had been established years earlier when I found a bicycle tail light missing a lens four miles from the beach and a week later found the missing red lens in a beachside parking lot.

But by far the most convincing sign of divine order occurred five years ago while I was biking on Route 579 and found a right-side deer antler. Three years later, I found the left antler. Only then did I display the pair in my trophy

room between the stuffed grizzly that I slew armed with just a Bowie knife and my collection of perfectly mounted and preserved earwigs.

On two occasions just prior to Halloween, I found a pumpkin on the side of the road.

After trying to locate the rightful owner by yelling, “Did anyone lose a pumpkin?” I tucked it under my arm and rode home just like Washington Irving’s headless cyclist.

Speaking of headlessness, last year I found the decapitated body of a Canada goose decoy. I called the manufacturer and, in a moment of wild extravagance, ordered a replacement head for $5. When the head arrived, I screwed wheels into the decoy creating a magnificent child’s pull-toy, the only one of its kind.

While I have yet to find Captain Kidd’s treasure on the beach, much less a single doubloon or gold ingot, I have found an enviable trove of children’s toys including 34 multicolored plastic shovels and nine Hot Wheels cars, each representing some child’s broken heart.

More practical than found toys are found tools, and I have amassed a for-

midable collection including pliers, wrenches and screwdrivers (all sizes), pruning shears, a vise grip, and a tape measure. Hapless mechanics and landscapers obviously left tools on their cars, drove off, and scattered the treasures for me to find. In June, I found a nasty little folding knife which had clearly been employed in some horrible crime before being discarded.

Once I found a tackle box full of saltwater flies by the road and immediately figured out the [embarrassingly stereotypical] backstory to its provenance. An irate spouse driving with her husband began screaming at him for neglecting his responsibilities. “That’s right, Mr. Bigshot Fisherman. Why bother mowing the lawn or picking up the kids from soccer when you can go out on your boat and catch porgies.” Then she threw his feathered hooks out the truck window.

On occasion I’ve found money, dollar bills fluttering across roadways or half-buried in the sand. Unlike the true hunter-scavenger maniacs, I do not search for treasure with a metal detector although I have run into people who dis-

played with consummate pride diamond rings that they had found. I hate them.

One afternoon, I spotted a cell phone while biking on Route 29. Before I could figure out how to contact the owner, the phone rang and a desperate, angry contractor wanted to know where his phone was. When he showed up at my house, he explained that everything, his business and his personal connections, was contained in that phone. He offered me a $20 reward. I declined the big bucks basking instead in my own aura of unadulterated nobility and virtue.

Years earlier while biking through the Sourlands, I found a wallet containing credit cards and cash. I turned it all over to the constabulary hoping that they’d be as noble and virtuous as I was.

But my greatest triumph occurred just this past August when I found a wet, sandy hat on the beach that turned out to be a genuine Tilley. I had never heard of a Tilley, but when I Googled it, I found out that they are worn by yachtsmen and well-to-do surfers (of the waves, not the Internet) and they float, hence its appearance at my feet. Most notable, Tilleys are indestructible and cost at minimum $84! That hat is worth more than my entire wardrobe. Now it’s all mine.
