Haunted
house
event
nears
By HEATHER FIORE
The Sun
Haunted houses are a Hal-
loween staple and one of the
many reasons why the Hopewell
Fire Department continues its an-
nual tradition the Haunted Fire
House.
The event began five years ago
when members of the depart-
ment wanted to bring a unique
Halloween experience to the chil-
dren in Hopewell Valley, accord-
ing to Ali Walker, a six-year mem-
ber of HFD, firefighter and chair
of HFDs Halloween Committee.
The Haunted Fire House start-
ed off only indoors in the ambu-
lance engine bays, but, last year,
the members expanded the dis-
play to incorporate the front
lawn.
This year, Walker said mem-
bers have worked to change the
display yet again, incorporating
all of the HFDs lawn, as well as
the ambulance bay.

2 THE HOPEWELL SUN OCTOBER 2329, 2013
We had renovations since
Hurricane Sandy we took down
a bunch of trees so were trying
to do it more outside because now
we have room for it, she said.
Were looking at doing some new
scenes and changing it up a little
bit. Were trying to improve it
every year and keep it new.
Like last year, visitors can ex-
pect to see scary Halloween clas-
sics, such as chainsaws, electric
chairs, clowns, monsters, witch-
es, a graveyard, the renowned
crime scene (a huge hit every
year) and many other scary enti-
ties.
New to this year is an Insta-
gram collage, an idea of one of
HFDs members, Colleen.
HFD wanted to be able to docu-
ment its annual tradition, some-
thing it hasnt really done since
the events inception, Walker
said.
If anyone takes pictures at the
event, she said to accompany the
picture with the hashtag, #haunt-
edfh52. All photos with that hash-
tag will be grouped together on
one page so all attendees and
members can view them after-
ward.
Last year, the event drew chil-
dren from other towns, so the
HFD has called in more of its
members to volunteer for the
event.
People really are excited we
do this, Walker said.
The Haunted Fire House will
be held on Thursday, Oct. 31 from
5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The HFD is located at 4 Colum-
bia Ave. in Hopewell Borough.

In other news, township resi-
dent and former Mayor John
Hart was welcomed back to the
dais at the meeting, as he was ap-
pointed a member of the Town-
ship Committee, filling the unex-
pired term of former Committee-
man James Burd, which expires
Dec. 31.
Hart, who is a member of vari-
ous township organizations, such
as the Agricultural Advisory
Committee and Environmental
Commission, was selected by the
Township Committee to
replace Burd, who resigned fol-
lowing an injury a couple of
months ago.
Jim is a lifelong resident, and
its an honor to take his position
here and finish his term because
hes definitely a legacy here,
Hart said. He was born here, has
a big following, and its going to
be hard to fill his shoes, but Im
going to do the best I can to keep
up the work he started in the next
three months.
Before being appointed, Hart
submitted his application to run
for a seat on the Township Com-
mittee in the Nov. 5 election. If re-
elected, he will serve another
three years.

This information was provided
by the Hopewell Township Police
Department.
On Oct. 5 at 10:15 p.m., officer
Nicholas Sparaco responded to
the area of the Pennington Circle
for a possible intoxicated driver.
Sparaco spoke with an off-duty
West Windsor police officer who
had stopped a vehicle for travel-
ing the wrong way around the
Pennington Circle. Sparaco spoke
to the driver, a 60-year-old male,
who had an odor of alcohol on his
breath. After performing field so-
briety tests, the man was placed
under arrest and transported to
police headquarters. He was
processed and issued summonses
for DWI, traveling the wrong way
on a one-way road, failure to ob-
serve a traffic control device,
reckless driving and refusal to
submit to a breath test. He was
later released to a relative; his
case will be heard in municipal
court.
At Oct. 6 at 12:45 p.m., officer
Nicholas Sparaco stopped a
motor vehicle for an inoperable
brake light. Sparaco spoke with
the driver, a 29-year-old female. It
was learned that she was wanted
on outstanding traffic warrants
from Trenton.
While Sparaco was attempting
to place the woman under arrest,
the passenger of the vehicle, a 30-
year-old male, attempted to pre-
vent Sparaco from making the ar-
rest. The man was placed under
arrest for obstruction of justice
by physical interference.
Both occupants of the vehicle
were transported to police head-
quarters. The woman was
processed for the traffic warrants
and issued summonses for main-
tenance of lamps and touring
privileges violation. The man was
processed and issued a summons
for obstruction of justice and dis-
orderly conduct. Both parties
were released with a court date in
municipal court.
On Oct. 6 at 10:05 p.m., officer
Brian Dendis responded to State
Park Drive for a suspicious per-
son investigation. Dendis made
contact with a 26-year-old male.
Further investigation revealed
that he was wanted on several
outstanding warrants. He was
placed under arrest and trans-
ported to police headquarters for
processing. He was eventually
lodged in the Mercer County Cor-
rections Center in default of bail.

G
hosts, goblins, ghouls and a lot
of superheros and princesses
will be parading up and down
streets in town in one short week. Hal-
loween is an exciting time for kids,
parents and neighbors alike.
Its a time for fun, a time for laugh-
ter, a time for adorable pictures, a time
for candy, a time for celebration and a
time when we all need to pay attention
to safety.
First and foremost, motorists need
to be extra cautious when driving
through the streets that day, not just in
your own neighborhood, but sur-
rounding ones, as well. Make sure to
be aware of trick-or-treating hours,
and be especially careful when dark-
ness settles in. Be especially alert in
residential neighborhoods, as kids
tend to run excitedly from house to
house.
Parents should be on high alert that
day as well, reminding their kids to
look both ways before crossing the
street and cross only at intersections
and cross-walks, when possible.
If kids are trick-or-treating without
adult supervision, make sure they
know the route so they dont get lost
and confused. Other safety tips, cour-
tesy of the website, www.safekids.org:
Decorate costumes and bags with
reflective tape or stickers and, if possi-
ble, choose light colors.
Choose face paint and makeup
whenever possible instead of masks,
which can obstruct a childs vision.
Have kids carry glow sticks or
flashlights to help them see and be
seen by drivers.
When selecting a costume, make
sure it is the right size to prevent trips
and falls.
If you need more tips or tricks of
the trade for trick-or-treating, visit
www.safekids.org. The local police de-
partment will also have safety recom-
mendations, and the municipality will
also have more information about spe-
cific rules and regulations for the day.
Be safe this Halloween. And most
importantly, have a scary good time!
Safety first this Halloween
Parents, kids, homeowners and motorists should follow these tips

While youre out trick-or-treating this
Halloween, or attending a local
Halloween parade, dont forget about

Robert Wood Johnson Univer-
sity Hospital Hamilton has initi-
ated a lung cancer screening pro-
gram for high-risk smokers and
former smokers that uses a low-
dose computed tomography scan
to detect tumors.
The program, which began in
July, offers the scans at a reduced
cost of $99 to encourage people
who meet the screening criteria
to get tested.
Our goal is to get more people
screened and make the screening
more accessible to our communi-
ty, said Dr. Biren Saraiya, med-
ical director at the Rutgers Can-
cer Institute of New Jersey
Hamilton, RWJ Hamiltons can-
cer center, and a lung cancer spe-
cialist.
The test was considered the
gold standard following a nation-
al study of over 50,000 people that
concluded the screening could re-
duce mortality from lung cancer.
We are often frustrated by the
late detection of lung cancer; cur-
rently most patients diagnosed
with lung cancer are incurable,
Saraiya said. We want to change
that. With this screening, we can
help people either find some
peace or find early treatment.
President and CEO Skip Cimi-
no said this latest initiative by
RWJ Hamilton tackles a major
public health issue in Mercer
County.
The 2012 Community Health
Assessment conducted by the
Greater Mercer Public Health
Partnership found lung cancer to
be the leading cause of cancer
death in Mercer County, Cimino
said. Lung cancer is an ugly dis-
ease, so if this screening can give
someone with a history of smok-
ing a better chance at beating it
then this investment is more than
worthwhile.
The National Lung Screening
Trial helped determine criteria
for the screening. To qualify, indi-
viduals must have a 30-pack
year history of smoking; a pack
year is the number of cigarette
packs smoked per day multiplied
by the number of years smoked
(someone who smokes two packs
a day for 15 years would qualify).
Individuals must be at least 45
years old and are either currently
smoking or have quit within the
past 15 years.
The NLST compared utility of
the low dose CT scan with the pre-
vious standard, chest x-ray. Low
dose CT scan allows for detection
of cancer at an earlier stage,
when it is more likely to be cur-
able. The study showed dramatic
improvement the survival rate,
said Saraiya.
Insurance companies do not
currently cover the screening,
but thats likely to change as med-
ical consensus builds that sup-
ports the use of CT scans to save
lives.
Nationally, about 160,000 people
die each year from lung cancer,
more than colorectal, breast, pan-
creatic and prostate cancers com-
bined. Experts believe the use of
CT scans potentially could save
20,000 people a year. In New Jer-
sey, lung cancer accounts for 12.6
percent (6,210) of all cancer cases
and 25.4 percent (4,160) of all can-
cer deaths according to 2011 data
reported by the American Cancer
Society.
RWJ Hamiltons lung cancer
screening program includes a
nurse navigator to explain how
the scan works and what to ex-
pect.
For more information or to
find out if one qualifies, call (609)
584-5900.

OCTOBER 2329, 2013 THE HOPEWELL SUN 9
On Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m., the Hopewell Township Po-
lice Department and the Drug En-
forcement Administration will
give the public its seventh oppor-
tunity in three years to prevent
pill abuse and theft by ridding
their homes of potentially dan-
gerous expired, unused and un-
wanted prescription drugs. Bring
your medications for disposal to
the Hopewell branch of the Mer-
cer County Library located at 245
Pennington Titusville Road. The
service is free and anonymous, no
questions asked.
Last April, Americans turned
in 371 tons (more than 742,000
pounds) of prescription drugs at
over 5,800 sites operated by the
DEA and its thousands of state
and local law enforcement part-
ners. In its six previous Take
Back events, DEA and its part-
ners took in over 2.8 million
pounds more than 1,400 tons of
pills.
This initiative addresses a pub-
lic safety and public health issue.
Medicines that languish in home
cabinets are highly susceptible to
diversion, misuse and abuse.

abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly
high, as are the number of acci-
dental poisonings and overdoses
due to these drugs. Studies show
that a majority of abused pre-
scription drugs are obtained from
family and friends, including
from the home medicine cabinet.
In addition, Americans are now
advised that their usual methods
for disposing of unused medi-
cines flushing them down the
toilet or throwing them in the
trash both pose potential safety
and health hazards.
DEA is in the process of ap-
proving new regulations that im-
plement the Safe and Responsible
Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which
amends the Controlled Sub-
stances Act to allow an ultimate
user (that is, a patient or pet or
their family member or owner) of
controlled substance medications
to dispose of them by delivering
them to entities authorized by the
Attorney General to accept them.
The Act also allows the attorney
general to authorize long term
care facilities to dispose of their
residents controlled substances
in certain instances.
Those caring for people with
Alzheimers or related dementia
disorders are presented with a

caregivers.
The Alzheimers Association,
Greater New Jersey Chapter, will
present a free, half-day confer-
ence for caregivers of people with
Alzheimers and related dementia
disorders on Saturday, Nov. 2 from
9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Capital
