Hopewell artist takes part
in exhibit. PAGE 2
By HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
On Monday, Oct. 29, New Jer-
sey experienced one of the worst
storms in its history, Hurricane
Sandy, which relentlessly bar-
reled through Hopewell Town-
ship and Hopewell Borough, up-
rooting hundred-year-old trees,
downing power lines, and leaving
thousands of residents without
power and water.
Sandy, which began as a hurri-
cane, was downgraded to a post-
tropical storm once the center of
the storm made landfall just
south of Atlantic City on Monday
night. However, the lowering in
status didn't reflect the damage
that was inflicted upon the thou-
sands of residents throughout
Hopewell Valley.
Residents were advised by
township and borough officials to
prepare for no electric power for
several days, if not more, the day
before the storm was scheduled to
hit Hopewell, and to stockpile
water for drinking and flushing
toilets, since many people in
Hopewell obtain water from
wells.
The day after the storm, Tues-
day, Oct. 30, so much damage had
been done to Hopewell, road-wise,
that officials put a travel ban on
residents, asking they stay inside
to allow clean-up crews to clear
the roads of numerous downed
trees and power lines. The ban,
however, was lifted on Wednesday,
Oct. 31.
Theres probably 20 or 30 road
closings, Hopewell Township
Sgt. William Springer said on
Wednesday, Oct 31. Our major
problems were that Route 31 and
Route 29 were closed, so when we
got them open, it was a huge re-
lief.
When trying to determine
which roads were accessible on
Oct. 31, Springer detailed how it
changed by the hour. This stayed
true, since his initial report of 20
or 30 roads quickly changed to
more than 40 roads within the
same day.
However, Springer reported
only a couple of streets on the list
of roads that remained closed as
of Oct. 31, including County
Route 612, Carter Road (County
Route 569), portions of Penning-
ton-Harbourton Road, Federal
City Road, and Bull Run Road,
which sustained the most damage
since seven utility poles crashed
down, completely blocking the
road.
Hopewell Township Police
Chief George Meyer detailed the
majority of the damage that was
done to Hopewell Township, and

Artists have always had unique
ways of expressing themselves,
some more innovative than oth-
ers. Hopewell resident Chris Har-
ford, who has found interesting
ways to create objects in his
paintings using various postage
stamps, was one of the many in-
novative artists who displayed his
works at the recent gallery exhib-
it and art sale known as ArtJam.
ArtJam, which was held from
Oct. 10 through Oct. 22 in Palmer
Square in Princeton, featured a

Hopewell Valley Central High
School (HVCHS) Theatre Depart-
ment will present its annual fall
play on Nov. 16 and Nov. 17 at 7:30
p.m. This year, the school is pro-
ducing Thornton Wilders Our
Town, which had its very first
premiere at the McCarter The-
atre in Princeton in 1938. The
show will be performed in the
Hopewell Valley Performing Arts
Center. Tickets will go on sale
Monday morning, Oct. 22 online
at showtix4u.com, and may also
be reserved by calling the high
school office at (609) 737-4003.
The show is being directed by
John Zisa, the high school theater
director and teacher. This is
Zisas first production at
Hopewell Valley. He has per-
formed extensively in New York
and New Jersey, and also ap-
peared as a semi-finalist on
American Idol in 2005.
Our Town is a very well
known piece, but is often misun-
derstood, Zisa said. Even
though it may appear on the sur-
face as being trite and nostalgic,
its got an enormous depth to it
that can be challenging for high
school actors. Ive really tried to
impress upon my students that
even though the play is set in a
time that they may be unfamiliar
with, the themes and symbolism
in the play have universality and
can be applied to their everyday
life today.

V
eterans Day traces its history
to the end of World War I.
Then known as Armistice Day,
Congress, in the mid-1950s, formally
made it Veterans Day. Its one of those
days of the year that has, or should
have, special meaning for every Ameri-
can.
The sacrifices made by the men and
women of the Armed Services are
well-documented. They protect the na-
tion every day. Without their service,
America isnt the land of the free.
We encourage everyone to not only
recognize veterans on this day, but also
to make a commitment to do some-
thing tangible in their honor.
There are numerous groups that
help veterans and their families, espe-
cially those who have fallen on hard
times. Volunteer for one of these
groups, or make a donation.
Or get involved in a different organi-
zation that is trying to better your com-
munity. Help to feed the hungry or ad-
vance research into a deadly disease.
Gather clothing and other items and
drop them off at a center that will use
them to help the less fortunate. Do
something to make a difference, to give
back to those around you who can use
a helping hand.
We are heading into the holiday sea-
son. Its the easiest time of the year to
get involved because there are so many
ways to give.
In the coming weeks, we invite
everyone who is holding a drive or
fundraiser to contact us with the de-
tails so that we can share them with
the entire community. Give us the days
and times, the drop-off locations and
the items requested, and well do the
rest.
And then we invite our readers to
jump in with generosity.
We can never say thank you too
many times to our veterans. We can
never fully repay them for what they
have done and continue to do for us.
But we can honor them by doing
what we can to make a difference in
our communities.
in our opinion
Honor veterans Sunday
Veterans Day a time to honor those who protect our freedom every day
Make a difference
Honor those who serve this Veterans
Day by making a tangible contribution
to your community.
Mention to a stranger over 50 that youre
from Hopewell and youre liable to get a
faraway look as they try to remember
where theyve heard that name before. The
ones with good memories will come up
with it the Lindbergh kidnapping!
Younger residents may not realize that
quiet, rural Hopewell was the scene of a
crime that riveted the country even the
world and was dubbed the crime of the
century in 1932. Flocks of reporters de-
scended on Hopewell, staying in what is
now the Hopewell Bistro, and filing their
reports from the telephone booth in the
Hopewell Pharmacy.
Millions of readers followed the investi-
gation and the subsequent trial and execu-
tion of one of the conspirators. For fans of
unsolved mysteries, it is a cold case that
has never been fully resolved, and myriad
books and theories have been built on the
details of the case in the 76 years since the
one conspirator was executed.
Now, a new and compelling solution to
the case has been raised by Robert Zorn,
author of Cemetery John: The Undiscov-
ered Mastermind of the Lindbergh Kid-
napping. Zorn will speak about his book
and the forensic evidence that led him to
his carefully researched conclusion as part
of the Hopewell Public Librarys Wednes-
day Night Out series. The program will
take place on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m.
at the new Hopewell Borough Hall located
at 88 East Broad Street in Hopewell.
Zorns book was born from a promise he
made to his 90-year-old father, who was be-
friended as a teenager by a neighbor in
Brooklyn. On an outing to Palisades Amuse-
ment Park in 1931, Zorns father overheard
his neighbor speaking in German to two
other men about Bruno and Englewood.
Years later, he remembered the conversation
and began to suspect that he had overheard
the conspirators in the Lindbergh kidnap-
ping. On his deathbed in 2006, he asked his
son to research the possibility.
The kidnapping took place on March 1,
1932, when the 20-month-old son of world-
famous aviator Charles Lindbergh and
Anne Morrow Lindbergh was taken from
the second floor of their newly built man-
sion in the Sourlands. Several ransom
notes followed, and Lindbergh paid the
$50,000 ransom, a fortune in those Depres-
sion-era days. The baby was not returned,
however, and two months later his body
was discovered near Mount Rose. Al-
though investigators concluded that the
kidnapping had been the work of several
conspirators, only one, Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, was ever arrested. Haupt-
mann was convicted in a hysterically pub-
licized trial in Flemington and executed in
1936, proclaiming his innocence and never
implicating any others in the kidnapping.
Zorns meticulous evidence paints a pic-
ture of three German-born conspirators,
and makes a convincing argument that his
fathers neighbor was the psychopathic
mastermind who conceived and organized
the crime that stunned the world.

On Wednesday, Oct. 17, Stony
Brook Elementary School cele-
brated receiving a federal Energy
Star Award for continuing to use
up to 1/3 less energy than others
schools its size a full 10 years after
it was built.
The federal Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has
awarded Stony Brook the Energy
Star Award for its energy efficien-
cy. Stony Brook was built incorpo-
rating geothermal heating and
cooling, energy saving lighting,
and other green design features
that make it the most efficient
school in Hopewell Valley. That
achievement captured the EPAs
attention.
Congressman Rush Holt (D-
12th District) visited the school on
Wednesday to help Stony Brook
celebrate this achievement.
Somebody used math and sci-
ence to figure out the best way to
build this building, he said.
And, they did such a good job
that you are getting this award.
Rep. Holt then presented Prin-
cipal Steve Wilfing with a bronze
plaque bearing the Energy Star
logo.
Its nice to know that 10 years
after being built, Stony Brook still
uses 35 percent less energy than
most buildings being built today,
head of facilities for Hopewell
Valley School District Norman
Torkelson said.
Torkelson spearheaded the en-
ergy-efficient construction of the
school, and was given the Green
Educator of the Year Award by

the New Jersey Board of Public
Utilities in 2008.
Also on hand for the award
were George Duthie of FVHD Ar-
chitects, who designed the build-
ing, and Klas Haglid, the districts
energy efficiency engineer who
applied to the EPA for the award.
It is off-the-charts unusual for
Stony Brook to still be that effi-
cient 10 years after being built,
Haglid said. You have to be vigi-
lant to maintain that type of effi-
ciency, and Norm is vigilant. This
kind of efficiency is the gift that
keeps on giving in terms of
money saved.

10 THE HOPEWELL SUN NOV. 7-13, 2012
variety of works from over 50
local artists, including Harford, to
benefit the Lawrenceville-based
nonprofit organization Home-
Fronts therapeutic art program,
ArtSpace.
According to ArtSpace director
and ArtJam coordinator Ruthann
Traylor, ArtSpace is an innova-
tive program that uses art as a
tool to improve the physical, men-
tal and emotional well-being of
HomeFronts clients that began
six years ago.
It was created as a safe haven
where people living in Home-
Fronts Family Preservation Cen-
ter are given the freedom to cre-
ate and express themselves while
going through difficult times,
she said. About 23 people from
HomeFront were in the show, and
around 100 people participate
with ArtSpace.
ArtJam began two years ago
and has been held in Palmer
Square both years, since it do-
nates an empty store for the event
to be held in.
Half of the proceeds from the
sales will go directly to ArtSpace,
and will be used to further the
program at HomeFront.
Aside from monetarily benefit-
ting ArtSpaces clients, Traylor
also detailed how the exhibit ex-
poses them to an environment
that they arent used to and gives
them a chance to exhibit their art
alongside many well known, ex-
perienced artists.
It gives them the opportunity
to exhibit with professionals,
she said. Its the untrained with
the trained; the self-taught with
the professionally taught. Thats
what makes it interesting.
Harford, who has been in-
volved with ArtJam and other
HomeFront programs for several
years, creates recycled art.
My thing is using recycled
goods things I find in the
garbage, whether its wood or
canvases of old art that people
are throwing away, and I rework
those, he said. I glue postage
stamps on my work thats my
gimmick to represent leaves,
feathers of a bird, and so on. This
is my thing that Ive been work-
ing on forever.
Harford explained how hes
created hundreds of paintings of
this kind in all different sizes, and
has been interested in art his en-
tire life, being a painter for more
than 20 years.
His art, which he refers to as
nave folk art, focuses on recur-
ring themes, such as birds, build-
ings and hooded figures on the
streets.
Ruthann [Traylor] calls it
outsider art, and my mom calls
it abstract expressionism, he
said. Its mostly paintings of the
subconscious, inspired by Hait-
ian folk art the colors and sim-
plicity of it all.
However, when Harford isnt
concocting eclectic pieces of recy-
cled art at home, hes out in vari-
ous cities performing as a musi-
cian, what he refers to as his
main gig. He is a songwriter
and guitarist, and currently has
10 records out.
Throughout the duration of
ArtJam, Harford sold more than
14 of his pieces, and was even
asked to contribute more.

The Hopewell Valley U-8 Bolts met the Bridgewater Crew for their second match this season result-
ing in a 4-0 Bolts win. The Bolts offense came on strong and aggressive with Alex Luedeke, Bryce
Ansari, Nathan Haldeman, and Han Sol Kim hustling to help set up goals scored by Kevin Ellis, Gun-
nar Casano, and Shane Finnegan. A perfectly positioned penalty kick resulted in a score by Bradley
Shreve. Brandon Rodriguez and Bradley Shreve switched off as impenetrable goalies, with Brandon
Rodriguez offering up intimidating defense outside of the box. Merrick Liu, Joseph Wong, and David
Sigman also played solid defense contributing to the shutout victory. To date, the Bolts have a
record of 3 wins, 1 loss and 2 ties. Above, Alex Luedeke swoops in to steal the ball from a Bridgewa-
ter Crew player, while Merrick Liu, Bradley Shreve, Bryce Ansari and Kevin Ellis run to assist.

explained how the road closures
will remain until the power com-
panies come in and remove the
wires, since municipal crews can-
not cut trees when they have
wires involved.
The main damage is toppled
trees across Hopewell Valley, he
said. Very large trees came down
in many cases striking houses,
cars, and most frequently, utility
lines. In many areas, utility poles
have been snapped. In two areas,
multiple poles fell over. We are
aware of a partial barn collapse
as well.
Many traffic lights were also
disabled for several days after the
storm, making travel a little bit
more complicated.
Springer also reported how
there was no damage to public
property, but in regards to private
property, approximately 22 resi-
dents reported some type of dam-
age to their house to the Hopewell
Township Police as of Wednesday,
Oct. 31.
There is no description of
damages, he said. Most of them
are being evaluated by a construc-
tion official.
Hopewell Borough also saw
damages to some houses, but not
many luckily, according to
Hopewell Borough Mayor Paul
Anzano.
It [the borough] held up fairly
well, he said. Several trees were
down, very few houses were hit,
but none of them were hit severe-
ly. The power came back on for
500 households within half of a
day of going out; it went out Mon-
day afternoon [Oct. 29] and came
back Tuesday morning [Oct. 30].
Were working on the last 220
households that dont have
power, he said on Thursday, Nov.
1. Im optimistically hopeful that
they'll be back on tonight or to-
morrow sometime.
Anzano applauded the borough
employees' efforts to recover from
the storm, notably the fire depart-
ments and medical units, as well
as residents for their hospitality
to others in need.
The public works people and
police have been great in terms of
cleaning up and keeping order,
he said. The residents have been
great; everyone's been coopera-
tive, and everyone's been working
together sharing generators and
things.
Despite the devastation caused
to many residents homes,
Springer and Meyer described
how there were no injuries re-
ported as a result of the storm.
Pennington First Aid Squad
Captain Kirk Schmitt added how
his squad was very lucky and
very quiet, since no injuries
were reported to them either, and
the only assistance they had to
lend that was Sandy-related was
to people who are on home oxy-
gen or have machines that need
generators to operate.
However, between half to
three-quarters of Hopewell's resi-
dents experienced power outages
of some sort from the aftermath
of Sandy, some over a week.
I would hope that within a
week things may be close to nor-
mal, Meyer said on Thursday,
Nov. 1. However, there may still
be people without power a week
from now.
Because of the continued road
closures and power outages
throughout Hopewell Valley, all
schools and offices remained
closed throughout the entire
week after Sandy hit -- from Mon-
day, Oct. 29 to Friday, Nov. 2. Since
the district used up more snow
days than allowed because of the
storm, Hopewells schools were
scheduled to be held on Thursday,
Nov. 8 and Friday, Nov. 9 when
they normally would be closed be-
cause of the annual New Jersey
Education Association (NJEA)
Teachers Convention.
Hopewell Township offered
four water sites for residents with
well services, including
Hopewell, Pennington, and Ti-
tusville (Union) fire houses; and
the Hopewell Township Public
Works building, which were all
open 24 hours for service. The
three fire houses also served as
reception areas for people to
come and recharge their electron-
ically devices.
Throughout the process, An-
zano noted how social media was
the go-to guide for any town-spe-
cific news and updates, specifical-
ly Twitter in Hopewell Borough's
case.
Communication has been
good, he said. The Office of
Emergency Management (OEM)
has been great with updates and
information. Because Borough
Hall is without power, we couldnt
blast too much on our website,
but as of late this morning or
early this afternoon, it did come
back up and I think a lot of the in-
formation got out.
And, a lot of people were
tweeting, he said. The social
media stuff was really helpful. I
was sending the OEM updates
that I was getting to people that
tweet largely. In that kind of envi-
ronment, it's exponential, so peo-
ple are getting information that
way.
As of Thursday, Nov. 1,
Hopewells conditions stayed
roughly the same, with nearly 40
road closings, downed power
lines, and uprooted and broken
trees throughout all areas of the
township and borough. Most of
the severe fallen trees were cut
down, since there was progress
made on clearing trees and some
wires, but thousands of residents
remained without power and
water.
There is no estimate as to how
much it will cost Hopewell to
clean-up the mess Sandy left, but
Meyer explained how it will be a
substantial amount.
Hopefully we will get partial
reimbursement from FEMA, he
said. We cannot speak for the
school district, but they too will
be eligible for FEMA funds.

Many trees were uprooted in Hopewell Township when Hurricane
Sandy barreled through on Monday, Oct. 29, including (TOP) this
tree on Federal City Road and (ABOVE) this tree on Route 31, which
fell onto a nearby power line, dragging it to the ground.
