By HEATHER FIOREThe Sun

The Montgomery TownshipPolice Department has beengoing through a lot of changesover the last year, with several re-tirements and new hires, and willbe continuing to evolve to fill va-cancies by the beginning of 2014.

The MTPD, consisting of about30 officers, is looking to fill a ser-geant position and patrol officerposition, said Donato Nieman,township administrator.

Now that we have promotedone sergeant to the rank of lieu-tenant, in the new year, we willhave a testing process for anothersergeant to backfill that vacancy,

he said. At the same time, wehave a pending retirement of oneof our senior sergeants, so we'llask the governing body to allowus to backfill that position withone of the eligible applicants whoremains on our list from the testwe conducted earlier this year. Wehad an exam for police recruit-ments in the spring, and we main-

The Rotary Club of Mont-gomery-Rocky Hill continues itsservice in Montgomery andaround the world.

In mid-November, the club con-tributed $5,000 for emergency re-lief in the Philippines.

Our members felt very strong-ly that we needed to respondquickly to the crisis caused byHurricane Haiyan, and we knowfrom previous experience thatworking through a Rotary Club inthe affected country can workvery well. Local Rotarians havedirect knowledge of the most ur-gent needs and are mobilized onthe front line, so to speak, said

JB Turner, Rotary president.Some quick research led to the

Rotary Club of Liberty, Texas,which has a longstanding rela-tionship with a sister club inOrmoc Bay, Philippines. Turnerpicked up the phone, contactedthe Liberty Club leaders, andarranged to have the funds wiretransferred to the Philippines.

Based on my conversationwith our colleagues in Texas, we

feel very confident that theOrmoc Club will put our funds togood use and will do it quickly,he said. I want to make clear thatit is our community made this do-nation possible. The funds weraise, primarily through the RunWith Rotary, enable us to sustainnot only our normal annual giv-ing budget of approximately$45,000, but also an emergencyfund that we tap into periodicallywhen catastrophic events Hurri-cane Sandy, the tsunami in Japan,the earthquake in Haiti demandimmediate action.

Closer to home, Rotary Clubmembers recently joined mem-

bers of the Princeton CorridorRotary to conduct their annualcleanup the Sacred UpperGrounds Cemetery, a little-knownhistoric cemetery well off thebeaten path, tucked next to a farmfield between Burnt Hill Roadand the Washington Well Farmon Route 518. The annual eventinvolves 12 to 15 people with mow-ers large and small, weed-whack-ers, loppers and clippers.

The people buried here wereresident patients at the New Jer-sey Village for Epileptics or theold Neuropsychiatric Institute the precursors of the NorthPrinceton Developmental Center,which the township wrestledaway from the state about eightyears ago, said Louise Wilson,who was on the cleanup team.This cemetery is an importantpart of local and state history; thegraves date back nearly a hun-dred years. It isnt the oldestcemetery in Montgomery by along shot, but it is unique. I ex-pect many of these folks were for-gotten even before they died. Its

important that we not forget theylived here.

The Rotary Club is a service or-ganization with local chapters allover the world. The local clubmeets every Thursday at 7:30 a.m.at Cherry Valley Country Clubfor buffet breakfast, camaraderieand a short program. The clubsmotto is Service Above Self.

Susan and Bruce Roeloffs opened

their Crown Trophy of Mercerville

store at 3257 Quakerbridge Road in

Mercerville in March of 2007. The

store is part of the Crown Trophy

franchise system and is family owned

and operated with Susan and son

Matt running the operation full-time

with occasional help from husband

Bruce. Terry Moon and Victoria Kier-

nan are two of their employees that

embody Susans passion for putting

the customer first.

We do everything possible to en-

sure the customer gets what they

want, when they want it, at a fair

price, noted Susan. If the customer

isnt happy, neither are we.

Proof of that came in 2008 and

2011 when Crown Trophy of Mer-

cerville won the prestigious Sales

Achievement Award from CrownsCorporate Headquarters at their an-

nual summer meeting. Crown Tro-

phy Founder and President Chuck

Weisenfeld said, I love the Mer-

cerville store. Susan and her team are

doing an excellent job representing

Crown and have been active in the

community as well. I love that they

give back, many local businesses

dont do that anymore. I am glad to

have them be a part of the Crown

Franchise Family. They even com-

pleted our exhaustive Crown Trophy

training program and achieved the

Certified Recognition Advisor (CRA)

designation from us which not every

store can say.

Crown Trophy of Merceville has

also received awards from the Rob-

binsville Education Foundation and

received resolutions recognizing

their business from Senator Green-

stein and Assemblymen Benson and

DeAngelo. Crown Trophy of Mer-

cerville specializes not only in tro-

phies but also plaques, medals, rib-

bons, silkscreened and embroidered

apparel, signs and banners, promo-

tional products, corporate awards,

golf outing packages and much more.

One source of pride for Susan and

Matt is the Crown Trophy Student/Ath-

lete of the Month program which isavailable to all area high schools as a

free service. With this program

schools can select one student and

one female and male athlete each

month to be recognized for their per-

formance in the classroom and in

their chosen sport.

Many schools have had to cut

back on their awards programs to

their students and athletes, so we felt

the need to pick up the ball and run

with it for them. It is a great way for

the schools to recognize their stu-

dents and we provide the service at

no cost to the schools. said Roeloffs.

Any area high school interested in the

Student/Athlete of the Month pro-

gram is urged to contact the store for

more information about the program.

When asked why Susan considers

her store the Best kept secret in Mer-

cerville she replied. The funny

thing about our business is that peo-

ple dont really look for us until they

need us. Dont let the name fool you

we do a lot more than just trophies

and strive to be your one-stop-shop

for your award and event needs.

Now the secret is out and Susan,

Matt and the entire team at Crown

Trophy of Mercerville hope to meet

many new customers (which usually

turn into friends) real soon.Crown Trophy of Mercerville is lo-

cated in University Plaza, at 3257

Quakerbridge Road in Mercerville.

They are open Monday through

Friday 9:30am-5:30pm with evening

hours until 7:00pm on Thursdays and

Saturdays 9:00am-1:00pm. You can

reach the store by calling (609)838-

1296 and you can view their entire

product catalog(s) online at

How many times have you seen

it: People driving around town

throwing caution to the wind,

as if they were on a NASCAR track?

Youd think someone was giving away

free hundred dollar bills.

Do they not know we have children

walking around town? Do they notcare about the safety of other mo-

torists? Do they not care about their

own safety?

Seems like today, everyone is in a

rush at all times; it seems like its get-

ting worse with each passing year.

Somehow, by some miracle, New Jer-

sey drivers arent the worst in the na-

tion, at least according to an annual

study recently released by CarInsur-

anceComparison.com. In fact, were

only the 32nd worst state-full of driv-

ers. If were only middle of the pack,

wed hate to be on the road in

Louisiana, whose drivers were collec-

tively ranked as the worst in the na-

tion.

Even though were not as bad as

some of our American brethren, its

worth repeating: Slow down out there!

Nothing can be of such importance

that you need to speed and drive errati-

cally...every time you drive! Its just not

possible that your wife is giving birth

for the fifth time this week.

Our children are walking ourstreets. Our elderly are still behind the

wheel. And our ready, willing and able

are out on the roads, trying to get to or

from a New Years celebration.

Lets make sure everyone gets where

theyre going safely. Lets all share the

road with each other, and lets stop

being such maniacs even if were not

the worst.

in our opinion

Slow downout thereUse cautionwhendriving on the roads, especiallythis time of year

Your thoughts

How bad is the driving out there? How canwe get better? Should more regulationsbe put on New Jersey drivers to improvesafety? Let your thoughts be heardthrough a letter to the editor.

This was a challenging and rewardingyear. Looking back at 2013, we had severalnoteworthy successes.

We held our municipal budget to below2005 spending levels, achieved a perfectscore from Gov. Christie's Best Practicesfor Local Government program, saved resi-dents $1.4 million in future electricity

costs, hired three new police cadets andcreated a proactive succession planninginitiative for our police department. Wealso preserved several additional farms intown and moved forward with numerousroad projects, whether funded by the town-ship or in partnership with county andstate agencies.

Most importantly, it was refreshing tohave a quiet fall. After two hurricanes, weneeded a break. Overall, we avoided any se-rious unexpected events/problems in 2013.This allowed us to focus on the evolution ofour police department, developing a cost-

effective budget and refining Mont-gomery's capital improvement plans forthe next several years.

Looking forward to 2014, we will contin-ue to adhere to our core governing princi-ples do more with less, protect public

health and safetyservices and pre-serve Mont-gomerys ruralcharacter by in-creasing our openspace portfolio.These principles

have guided uswell over the pastfew years and willensure success inthe future. Duringmy eight town hallmeetings this year,I spoke to more than 300 residents aboutour vision and plans for Montgomery. Theresponse was remarkably positive becausemost residents believe in the same princi-ples for our town.

Next year's budget is going to be tough,but we have been proactively working to

improve the long-term financial health ofthe town and will continue to do so.

Spending will remain below 2005 levels,additional shared services opportunitieswill be explored, and we will start re-designing the organization structure in

town hall to make our operations more effi-cient.

Even though our budget will be tightnext year, we will still invest in the evolu-tion of our police department, fund criticalroad improvements and preserve addition-al open space.

Beyond this, we are working on several

economic development opportunities inMontgomery. We have worked hard to builda culture of partnership at town hallwhere our professionals proactively helplocal businesses invest in our community.Most notably, we are starting an initiativeto redesign and rezone the greater VillageShopper area of town (at the Route 206/518intersection), which also includes the adja-cent Kepner Tregoe property. This is atruly exciting endeavor and hopefully onethat will result in new retail services anddining options for our residents.

With all of this in mind, I believe 2014

will be an exciting year for Montgomery.With hard work and thoughtful planning,we will not only protect our quality of lifein town, but enhance it. We have a remark-able community, and I am very proud to bepart of it.

Hidden tax could covercable fees, writer saysThanks to Heather Fiore for

her article on the MontgomeryTownship Committees decisionnot to broadcast its meetings onComcast channel 29, which hasbeen set aside for this purpose;punch in 29 on your remote,youll see the blank screen there.

The rationale for their decisionis we dont have $14,000 to spend;

if we do something else is gettingcut from our $25 million-plus an-nual budget. What was not men-tioned during the meeting is thefact that Montgomerys cable TVsubscribers contribute fees thathave been going into the generalfund for years, and easily coverthis cost. As such, they are simplya hidden tax.

In 2012, the township collected$40,230.38 in fees from Mont-gomery cable subscribers; thesame amount is in the revenue

budget for 2013 and more will like-ly be received. Do the math. Youllsee that the cost to broadcastmeetings, a town bulletin boardand emergency information onChannel 29 will be covered bythese fees in about four months.

No one in Montgomery is moreopposed to frivolous spendingthan me.

However, given the obviousbenefits, especially to those whodo not have ready access to thisinformation via the internet, the

townships decision is not onlybased on false economies; it putssome of our most vulnerable resi-dents at unnecessary risk and is,therefore, irresponsible: pennywise and pound foolish.

Perhaps Mr. Smith is correct insaying Im the only person inMontgomery who cares aboutthis, but Im certain that if more

people understood how theircable fees are being spent, theydfeel the same way I do. If youagree, please let the townshipCommittee know. Too bad youcant watch their meetings onComcast; maybe they just preferkeeping us and Channel 29 inthe dark.

Of the calls, 8.5 percent re-quired Advanced Life Support.The top three call types for themonth were: motor vehicle acci-dents, falls and general sickness.

tain a list of candidates from thatpool of candidates.

In October, Lt. Jim Curry, whohas served on the MTPD since1988, was promoted to the new po-sition of deputy director/captain,which took the place of one of the

township's two lieutenant posi-tions.The remaining position is va-

cant due to the retirement of Lt.Guy Fillebrown on Aug. 1 after 28years of service. It will be filledby a patrol officer within the de-partment, who will be directlypromoted to sergeant, Niemansaid.

New Jersey law almost pre-cludes you from going outside ofthe organization for a sergeant,he said. You have to promote

from within unless you candemonstrate that there's no onequalified.

A new candidate will fill the re-maining patrol officer position,created by the vacancy from theofficer that will fill Fillebrownsseat.

We hired three cadets thisyear [at June 10 committee meet-ing], and there is a fourth personthat we would ask to be the next

candidate if hes still available,Nieman said. If he's still avail-able, we will enroll him in theMorris County Police Academybecause the Somerset County Po-lice Academy is not accepting anynew applicants.

Nieman said the townshipcommittee gave administrationpermission to conduct testing forthe MTPDs new sergeant, but be-cause of the reorganization meet-ing and the township committeesobligation to conduct interviews

of applicants, testing wont takeplace until the first quarter of2014.

We don't have enough time re-maining this year to get thatdone, he said.

MONTGOMERY HIGH SCHOOL WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

By NICK COHENThe Sun

The term rebuilding is one that makesfans of professional sports franchises cringeas it usually means the team has lost its starplayer or players and will be forced to wait forthe next prospect to arrive. High school coach-es know this all too well as this problem pres-ents itself every year once graduation comesalong. Luckily for fans of the MontgomeryHigh School boys wrestling team, the re-building process should be coming to an endthis season as the Cougars look to compete fora state title.

Ive always told the guys on this team thatyou only deserve what you earn, said headcoach Kurt Franey, who is in his third year atthe helm for Montgomery. We have to beready to put the work in if we want to suc-ceed.

A grueling month of workouts and scrim-mages has ended for the Cougar wrestlingteam that is coming off a 2012-2013 season thatsaw it finish with a .500 record for the secondconsecutive season: 13-13 last season, 10-10 in2011-2012.

Last year, we were looking to reboundfrom the loss of our four senior captains

Lenny Bird, Louis Colonna, Tyler Ajamianand Kevin Kolb, Franey said. I dont think

Cougars have yet to finisha season with record better

than .500 in schools history

our record ended where we wouldhave liked, but there are things tobuild on from last season. We hadnever defeated Hillsborough be-fore and we accomplished that.Its about building every season.

Both Ajamian and Bird wenton to wrestle at the collegiatelevel for the University of Pitts-burgh and Sacred Heart Universi-ty, respectively.

The Cougars bring back seniorcaptain Anthony Cassar who is inthe hunt for an individual cham-pionship and projects to be one ofthe premier wrestlers in the stateat the 182-pound weight class.

Cassar finished last season with arecord of 29-4. The squad also re-turns key wrestlers Tyler Fari-naro, Joe Seneca and Alex Doty.

I think this group is preparedfor the season, but every yearbrings risks of injuries or fatigueor whatever, Franey said. Werelucky to have some depth withour underclassmen in JacobFrisch and brothers August and

Terence Rohmeyer.In the schools history, theCougars have yet to finish a sea-son with a record better than .500.With the talent in hand, Franey ishoping to end that streak thisyear.

I expect our kids to have an-other strong season. We are look-ing to win the Somerset CountyChampionship, as well as the Sky-

land Conference Championship,Franey said. Im also hoping thatwell be able to send Anthony andsome other guys to Atlantic Cityfor the state finals in March.Thats been something we haventbeen able to do these last few sea-sons, and it would be an awesomeexperience for them as seniors.
