ow that the new year is upon us, letstake a moment to look back on thebiggest news stories in MontgomeryTownship for 2013.

Committee kicks off the new yearThe Montgomery Township Commit-

tee kicked off 2013 with its first meetingon Jan. 3. New Committeeman Chris Sugden, who

replaced Mark Conforti, was inducted. Mayor EdTrzaska, Deputy Mayor Patricia Graham and Com-mitteewoman Christine Madrid were re-elected toserve terms for 2013.

Along with all of the new appointees to Mont-gomery Townships boards and committees, Somer-set County Freeholder Mark Caliguire, SomersetCounty Sheriff Frank Provenzano and FormerMayor Don Matthews were also in attendance.

Trzaska highlighted his four main goals for 2013,which included protecting public health and safety

services, adhering to Gov. Christies 2-percent prop-erty tax cap, preserving additional open space andprotecting the townships rural character, and opti-mizing use of the limited commercial land in town.

Smoking banA smoking ban was discussed at the townships

Jan. 17 committee meeting.The ban, proposed to prohibit smoking in all

parks, pathways, athletic parks and playgroundsthroughout the township, was brought forth by Lu-

cille Talbot, coordinator for the Regional ChronicDisease/Cancer Coalition of Morris and Somersetcounties, and Donna Drummond, program coordi-nator and health educator for the University of Med-icine and Dentistry of New Jerseys Tobacco-Freefor a Healthy NJ Coalition.

We are bringing this to the forefront since theSkillman Park has gone smoke-free, since our schoolgrounds and athletic fields are smoke-free, and other

municipalities throughout NewJersey have gone smoke-free withtheir parks, Health OfficerStephanie Carey said. We wantto present this opportunity to thetownship to show leadership andto set a good role model for thekids in our community to choosehealthy lifestyles.

A smoking ban already in place

at the beginning of the year pro-hibited smoking on all govern-ment-owned land. The proposedband targeted areas where chil-

dren are likely present.If passed, the committee ques-

tioned health justifications andenforcement of the new ban.Trzaska said more discussion andtime was needed before any deci-sions were made.

That discussion continued atthe next committee meeting,when the Board of Health recom-mended a more limited ordi-nance to the committee. The pro-posal would ban smoking in des-ignated areas of the park suchas playgrounds as opposed tothe entire park. Carey worked to

gather more information before apotential ordinance was drafted.

Come March, the committeeand Board of Health were work-

ing to create a limited smokingordinance, considered the bestway to handle the concerns ofresidents who feel that banningsmoking in township areas in-fringes on peoples rights.

Trzaska suggested imposing atime frame for the banned areasand supported Sugdens sugges-tion of putting up non-smokingsigns. The signs would be a way todiscourage smoking without tak-ing legal action.

The committee continued to de-bate the issue and worked withthe Board of Health on drafting

an ordinance.In September, the committee

lowered its penalties for smokingon designated smoke-free loca-

tions in the township; these areaswere already established smoke-free by the townships previousordinance, not affecting the ordi-nance pertaining to parks thatthe committee debated over thecourse of 2013.

The $2,000 fine was reduced toa maximum fine of $200.

Energy aggregation programIn an effort to save residents

money on their energy bills,Montgomery Township adoptedan ordinance establishing a gov-ernment energy aggregation pro-

gram, known as MontgomeryCommunity Energy Aggregation.

At its meeting on April 4, thetownship committee hired the

Highland Park-based energy andpublic utility firm, Gabel Associ-ates, to solicit bids from multipleenergy consumers in an attemptto secure lower power supplyprices than what the currentproviders were offering.

If Gabel Associates finds alower price that is worth pursu-ing through its online biddingprocess (e-bids), the only changewould be the residents supplier.PSE&G, or whichever companyservices residents in the town-ship, will stay as their provider only the supplier will change to

Gabel Associates.All residents are automatically

Open houseon Jan. 11The Montgomery Township

Health Department is workingwith the Greater Somerset PublicHealth Partnership, New Jersey

Department of EnvironmentalProtection and the RegionalChronic Disease/Cancer Coali-tion of Morris and Somersetcounties to recognize January asRadon Awareness Month.

Radon is an odorless, tastelessand invisible gas that occurs nat-urally in soil. It is released fromthe natural decay of the elementsuranium, thorium and radium,and occurs in higher concentra-

tions in certain areas of the state,including Somerset County.

entered into the MCEA if theyhavent already acquired a third-party for supplying their energy.However, any resident has the op-tion to opt-out at any time be-fore or after the program is imple-mented at no cost.

Later in April, the township

teamed up with nonprofit CoolingAmerica thru Local Leadershipto educate its residents about thisenergy aggregation program.

CALL, the only group advocat-ing for Clean Energy Aggregationin New Jersey, was established in2007 and has developed expertisein implementing CEA systems forvarious municipalities.

CEA is based on legislation the Government Energy Aggre-gation Act of 2003 that allowslocal governments to buy electric-

ity wholesale and sell it to theirbusinesses and residents, whichin turn, saves money on their en-ergy bills, according to CALLswebsite.

The Montgomery CommunityEnergy Aggregation officiallywent into effect on Nov. 14, givingresidents the ability to savemoney on their utility bills, withthe possibility of added benefits,such as higher renewable energycontent and other programs, offi-cials said.

Residents who were customersof PSE&G received letters fromthe township in early Novemberinforming them their electric sup-

ply provider unless they chose toopt out was switching to Consoli-dated Edison Solutions, Inc.

The ConEdison Solutions con-tracted price of $0.10427 was ap-proximately 10 percent below theaverage PSE&G rate, and will re-main in effect until December2015.

Municipal taxes riseIn April, the Montgomery

Township Committee introduceda $25.7 million budget for the year,

which included a 2.8 percent taxrate increase, or $44 per year forthe average assessed home valuedat $500,000.

The average homeowner wouldsee their municipal bill increasefrom $1,565 to $1,609.

This was a very challengingbudget, Trzaska said. In addi-tion to the typical cost increasesthat we face every year pension,health care and union contracts we also had to deal with Hurri-

cane Sandy cleanup costs and a$13.5 million balloon debt pay-ment that was created back in2006. We took advantage of histor-ically low interest rates and refi-nanced this debt. It was the re-sponsible action to take and helpsimprove Montgomerys financialhealth, but it did increase ourdebt servicing costs by $250,000.In total, the mandated spendingincreases for 2013 were over$900,000.

In 2013, the township planned

to continue to work on closing itsstructural budget gap throughlong-term budget planning; re-vamping the municipal govern-

Environmental andhistoric developments

Through 2012 and into the newyear, new trails were being devel-oped in plots of MontgomeryTownships open space.

In January, the MontgomeryFriends of Open Space completeda newly designed trail extensioninto the Cherry Brook Preserve, a375-acre plot of mature woods andopen fields in the southern part ofthe township.

The new trail, which began onthe Lenape Pool access road at theend of Pine Brae Court off Route518, traversed a field and entereda wooded area before joining theexisting trails at the Preserve,and was made possible by a$36,000 donation from BloombergAssociates, according to presi-dent of MFOS Mary Penney.

"This is the first time thatMontgomery Friends has collabo-rated with one of our residentcorporations to create a trail, andI am very excited about that," shesaid. "We so appreciate this gener-ous financial contribution fromBloomberg Associates to enhanceMontgomery's trail system. With-out it, this project could not havebeen completed."

In addition to Bloomberg Asso-ciates, Gibraltar Rock in BelleMead, Montgomery Townshipand MFOS member and profes-sional engineer Dave Schmidtalso made considerable donationsto the projects completion.

Another open space feat for thetownship in 2013 came in the fall,when the Pariso Farm in Skill-man was preserved.

Twelve acres of the 13.5-acrefarm between Skillman Roadand Fairview Road were pre-served as open space, leaving thelatter acreage as living quartersfor current owners Jan-Michael

Blakely and his wife Tiana.The preservation was a collab-

orative effort among the town-ship, Somerset County and thestate Agricultural DevelopmentCommittee, said Lauren Wasi-lauski, township open space coor-dinator. The bulk of funding wasprovided by grants.

At the same time as the Pariso Farmpreservation, Rocky Hill Borough becameone of the six historic sites in SomersetCounty to receive a historic preservationgrant from the Somerset County OpenSpace, Recreation, Farmland and HistoricPreservation Trust Fund.

The borough received a $52,600 grant tofund infrastructure improvements to theBorough Hall, a brick, two-story Colonial

Revival schoolhouse that was built in 1908and which is considered a pivotal structurein the Rocky Hill Historic District, accord-ing to Mayor Ed Zimmerman.

The slated improvements included re-pairing the structure under the stairs, re-

fastening diagonal braces and roof fram-ing, reinforcing the main wood girder and

the floor joists, replacing the fire-alarmwiring and the junction box in the attic, re-pairing/replacing grounding, and modify-ing emergency exit/exterior lighting.

Another grant arrived in late October,when Sustainable Jersey awarded a $10,000grant to the Montgomery Township Envi-ronmental Commission/Sustainable Mont-gomery for its bicycle safety pilot program.

Montgomery was one of 15 municipali-ties in the state to receive a $10,000 grant onbehalf of SJs Small Grants program, fund-ed in part by Walmart.

The Environmental Commission

planned to work with the MontgomeryTownship Police Department on communi-ty safety education programming. The bi-cycle program was scheduled to begin inearly 2014.

Arts in the forefront

From art exhibits to theater produc-tions, the arts had a strong influence inMontgomery Township throughout 2013.

On March 15, for the first time in Mont-gomery High Schools band history, theschools wind ensemble got the chance toperform at Carnegie Hall in New York City.The concert was hosted by Princeton-basedorchestra The Eastern Wind Symphony.

The 58-student wind ensemble playedtwo pieces during its time on CarnegieHalls stage Southern Harmony byDonald Grantham and Fiesta Del Pacifi-co by Roger Nixon.

Wed been preparing for this concertsince January; the kids were very excited,Adam Warshafsky, conductor of MHSwind ensemble and associate conductor of

The ball has dropped. The new

year is here. Resolutions have

been made, and hardly any

have been broken so far. Were all back

to work, for full, five-day weeks. Life is

back to normal.

You may be in settle-down mode

following the holidays, but there is somuch to look forward to in 2014. To wit:

Cold weather...and lots of snow?

OK, so maybe this isnt your cup of tea,

but the kids in the community are sure

to get fired up about this. The new year

rang in with blisteringly cold, winter

weather. Will there be more in store? If

so, how will it affect traffic, business,

school and our mood?

Speaking of weather potentially

disrupting our lives...the Super Bowl is

coming to New Jersey next month! The

Farmers Almanac is predicting pretty

lousy weather for the Sunday, Feb. 2

game. Wonder if the NFL will regret

its decision to host the game in a cold-

weather city with a non-enclosed field?

Online gambling will be in full

force. At the end of November 2013, on-

line gambling was rolled out to New

Jerseyans, with casinos offering every-

thing from online slots to craps to

poker. Registered accounts eclipsed the

125,000 mark at the end of December,

with numbers rising sharply each

week. How high will it go? How suc-

cessful will it be for the casinos? What

impact will it have on our economy?

President Obamas health-care law

is in (relatively) full effect. Some line

items are still to be phased in, but

major initiatives such as the public

health-care exchange are here. The

time has come for the real assessmentsto begin.

New Jerseys minimum wage in-

creased by $1 to $8.25 per hour on Jan.

1. Some think itll help workers; others

think it will hurt business. What will

come of it?

As is the case each year, local issues

such as school and municipal budgets

and elections will be hot topics. And, as

always, well be right there along for

the ride, keeping you informed on

every tidbit of information.

Heres to a prosperous 2014!

TEWS, said.This is my 10th year here and

I havent heard the wind ensem-ble sound like this. Weve alwayshad a fantastic wind ensemble,but now, theyre playing at a dif-ferent level than theyve everplayed at before.

In the theater world, the teach-ers, administrators and variousstaff members from the Mont-

gomery Township School Districttook off their educating caps onSaturday, April 27, to presenttheir rendition of Once Upon AMattress as part of the districtsannual fundraising effort, MusicFrom the Heart.

Music From the Heart began 13years ago to showcase talent fromthe district and raise money tohelp support local band scholar-

ships, according to MargaretWeinberger, robotics teacher atMontgomery UMS and this yearsdirector.

Montgomery Township stu-dent artists had a strong showingin 2013, winning local and nation-al contests for their artwork.

In April, Montgomery HighSchool junior Aaron Schanklertook first prize in the PrincetonPhotography Clubs photo con-test, Plantscapes. The contestwas open to all high school stu-dents in the area.

Students who submitted photo-graphs to Plantscapes, which

was sponsored by PPC and theD&R Greenway Land Trust, wereasked to focus on plants in thenatural landscape with the goal ofincreasing awareness of openspace.

Since students were allowed tosubmit up to three photos,Schankler submitted a triptych ofa Birch tree, a site he saw everyday on his way to diving practice

at MHS.Its the same tree during three

different time periods, he said.One is when its snowing and thetree is covered in snow, another iswhen its foggy and gloomy, andthe last one is at night.

Later in the spring, Arlina Cai,a senior at Montgomery HighSchool, won several awards forher painting, Vermeer, in theScholastic Art and WritingAwards.

The national contest is gearedtoward teenagers.

There are two types of awardsin which students can be recog-

nized regional and national.Less than 1 percent of the partici-pants who submit work to thecontest receive medals, Cai said.

Cai received medals on bothscales. She obtained two Gold Keyawards one for Vermeer andone for her entire portfolio thehighest level of achievement at aregional level. Approximately 7-10 percent of all regional submis-

sions are recognized with GoldKey awards.

She also received a SilverMedal, the second-highest awardon a national level, which recog-nizes works that demonstratehigh honors for Vermeer.

Sports newsTo kick off the year, the Mont-

gomery High School varsitycheerleading team reached yetanother milestone in its success-ful season at the UCA Empire Re-gionals Competition, where itsnatched sixth place and secureda bid to the Nationals competition

in Florida.The team competed against 16teams at Hofstra University.

This year was also the firstyear the MHS varsity cheerlead-ing team placed in the top 10 atRegionals, which was also gratify-ing for all of the girls and espe-cially new head coach TiffanyRiley.

Being that it is my first year

as the new head coach, I am in-credibly proud of the accomplish-ments of this new team, Rileysaid.

This was a rebuilding year,yet this talented group of ladieswon the Somerset County Cham-pionship for the first time inMontgomery history, as well as abid to compete at the NationalChampionship once again inFlorida. I am eager to see whatthis team's determination anddrive will bring next.

In March, Montgomery HighSchool senior Hannah Mathesonbecame the state champion in the

100-yard butterfly at the NJSIAAMeet of Champions at theGloucester Institute of Technolo-gy.

Matheson, who competedagainst 40 other swimmers fromaround the state, nabbed firstplace with a record-setting time of55.59 seconds, beating the second-

place finisher by seven hun-dredths of a second.

It was amazing, Mathesonsaid.

Ive been at this meet for allfour years (of high school), and asa freshman, I wouldnt imaginehaving a state title, but being ableto accomplish that this year is in-

credible.More Montgomery sport histo-ry was made in June, when theMontgomery Cougars 11D travelbaseball team won the 2013 U.S.Amateur Baseball LeaguesAmerican Northwest Division11U Spring League Champi-onship.

The team of 12 prevailed overits neighbors and top-ranked ri-

vals, the Hillsborough Raiders,

with a final score of 8-2 to take thetitle of spring league champions,said Ken Reilly, MontgomeryBaseball League secretary and11U team scorekeeper.

The Monty boys overcame anearly two-run deficit to take a 4-2lead in the third inning whichbegan with a two-run single byDylan Gerdes and never lookedback, Reilly said.

Although some players stoodout performance-wise at the

championship game, all playerscontributed to the teams successand overall title win, Reilly said.

Also in the world of baseball,hundreds of people came out tothe McKnight Baseball Complexin Montgomery on July 20 towatch the first-ever official Spe-cial Olympics New Jersey base-ball game, which was a huge suc-cess.

The game, the first of a three-

game series, was hosted in con-junction with the MontgomeryBaseball League.

Throughout the more than 45years of the Special Olympicsmovement, baseball has neverbeen offered as a sport, which iswhy the SONJ has worked towardestablishing baseball as an offi-cial sport over the last year, SONJrepresentative Jeff Baldino said.

This was an incredible experi-ence for both teams, Baldino

said.It really has been incredible tosee the evolution of the sport andthe achievements of our ath-letes.
