Local photographers work featuredBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

For the past four years, PEACHealth and Fitness has selected adifferent artist each month to dis-play his or her artwork along thewalls of the facilitys entrance aspart of its Art on Display pro-gram.

During February, Penningtonresident and member of PEACArthur Firestone, who has been aphotographer for 50 years, isshowing a collection of 50 photo-graphs from his recent travels toAfrica, Italy, and France.

Firestone, who is a retiredprincipal, teacher and organiza-tional consult, is an avid travelerand has been to almost every con-tinent throughout his travelswith his family.

We travel a lot, he said. Atleast once a year, were in Europeor somewhere else traveling for atwo- to three-week period.

Last year, Firestone and hiswife ventured to Africa for thefirst time, which is the focus of

half of his exhibit."I love animals; I just love lions,

tigers, giraffes and zebras, and allthose kinds of animals," he said."I was like a little kid in a candystore. Im sitting there in theLand Rover and the whole top isoff above your waist so youre

just out in the air and weredriving through the Serengetiand giraffes are on the left, ele-phants are on the right, hippos in

the pond, a rhino is in the field,lions walking by, and monkeys allover the place. It was just amaz-ing."

Although Firestone was al-ready interested in visitingAfrica because of its wildlife, hisoriginal interest came from hisdaughter, Julia, who is a graduate

teacher at the Teacher's College atColumbia University majoring inInternational Educational Devel-opment and Policy with a focuson sub-saharan Africa.

"She is the director of opera-tions for a foundation called Im-pact Network, and they buildschools in rural Zambia, so shegot to stay in Zambia, and alsotaught at an orphanage in Ghanaone summer," he said. "So, my in-

terest in Africa kind of piquedwhat was already a simmering in-terest."

Firestone detailed how he tookaround 7,000 pictures while inAfrica, 25 of which he chose todisplay as part of his exhibit, and50 to 60 of which are available toview on his professional website

at arthurfirestone.com.While in Africa, Firestone ven-

tured to Tanzania and Kenya,where he was able to take a safarithrough the Serengeti NationalPark and Tarangire NationalPark. He also visited the Masaivillage in northern Kenya and theNgorongoro Crater, the main fea-ture of the Ngorongoro Conserva-

Redevelopment projectfocus of meeting

By HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

At the Hopewell Townshipcommittee's special meeting onFeb. 4, residents gathered to fur-ther discuss the Marshall's Cor-ner/Pennytown redevelopmentproject, which has been ongoingfor the past four years.

Township administrator PaulPogorzelski detailed a timelinefrom 2008 through the next coupleof months in 2013 to explain

everything that has happenedand will happen with the Penny-town site, which was purchasedin 2008.

In 2008, when "Round 3" ofCOAH rules were introduced,Hopewell had a determined needto create about 440 units, give ortake, to meet its affordable hous-ing obligations implemented byCOAH.

Hopewell Township looked at avariety of sites to create theseunits on, including the currentProject Freedom and CapitalHealth tracts, but ultimately de-cided to purchase the Pennytownsite for $6.1 million, since it al-ready had its own sewer systemand was determined that 70 unitscould be built there.

To decide how to best use anddevelop the Pennytown site,Pogorzelski described how theMarshall's Corner/Pennytown

Task Force was formed, whichconsisted of various concernedresidents from the surroundingneighborhoods who could poten-tially be affected by the develop-ment of Pennytown.

Simultaneously, the townshipstarted to explore the Kooltronicsproperty, which is located directly

Oral arguments in a lawsuit

brought by professional sports

teams and the NCAA against

Gov. Christie are scheduled to begin

this week. Recently, the leagues got a

boost. The U.S. Department of Justice

is jumping into the lawsuit on their

side.Yep, your tax dollars are being used

against you.

Lets check the starting lineups.

On one side, you have unbelievably

wealthy sports leagues, the DOJ, illegal

bookies and point-shaving players. OK,

technically the last two arent part of

the lawsuit, but, if the leagues and

DOJ win, they win, too.

On the other side, you have Gov.

Christie, people who want to be able to

bet legally on sports in New Jersey, the

states casinos and horse racing tracks

and, well, everyone who would benefit

from a huge bump to our economy.

Which side are you on?

The suggestion that legalizing sports

betting in New Jersey would lead to anincrease in corruption, law-breaking,

pestilence, whatever, defies logic and

fact. Billions of dollars already are

being bet illegally on games. Players

and officials already have been caught

cheating to win bets.

In fact, the opposite is true. Making

sports betting legal would mean more

oversight of the system by people

both government and those folks actu-

ally taking the bets who want, to coina phrase, a level playing field.

It also would be a boost to the casi-

nos, tracks and the economy because

at least some of the money currently

being bet illegally would begin to flow

into legal betting outlets. Anyone seen

recent casino revenue reports? They

need help.

The feds, to coin another phrase, are

backing the wrong horse. New Jersey

needs legal sports betting. Its too bad

the DOJ doesnt see things that way.

in our opinion

Your tax dollars at workJustice Department joins the ranks of leagues against sports betting in state

Sports betting

That the federal government hasentered a lawsuit to stop New Jerseysefforts to legalize sports betting is aslap in the face of every taxpayer here.Sports betting would be an economic

boost, and in no way would endangerthe integrity of the games.

Seniors can learn about wills, get tax helpLearn about wills,

healthcare proxies, more

Learn about how choices you make canhelp your family avoid legal battles later onWednesday, Feb. 13 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.at the Pennington Public Library, which islocated at 30 N. Main St. in PenningtonBorough.

New Jersey Appellate Court JudgeAlexander P. Waugh Jr. will present topicsincluding wills, powers of attorney,health care proxies, guardianships, andtrusts.

Light refreshments will be served. Noregistration is required.

This is part of a new Baby Boomers se-ries co-sponsored by Hopewell Valley Sen-ior Services and the Pennington Public Li-brary.

tion Area in Tanzania.His pictures in the exhibit

mainly consist of a variety of ani-mals native to Africa, such as gi-raffes and elephants, but also in-corporate some of the people hecame across while visiting theMasai village in Kenya.

And, according to Firestone,the most fascinating aspect oftaking safaris was seeing the ani-

mals in their natural habitat."When you are on theSerengeti, the predator and preyanimals are really both on veryhigh alert either you get eatenor you have to eat," he said. "Atthe zoo, the animals are justnumb because they get fed. They

just dont have that sparkle intheir eyes, that edge; the animalsare just in a different place in anatural habitat, so it was very ex-citing to be there."

"I would go back in a heart-

beat," he added. "We will go back.I would like to return and spendsome time in Kenya, go to Rwan-da and see the gorillas there, Zam-bia and other places in Africa."

The other half of Firestone's

pictures document his recenttravels to Venice and Paris, twoplaces that have become stapleswhile traveling.

"We go to Italy and France fre-quently," he said. "We have goneto France 20 times and Venice anumber of times. Paris is likewalking through a museum.Rome is a knockout, and Venice isa killer its a wonderful city."

Firestone's pictures fromVenice and Paris highlight a lot ofthe main features of the towns,including the dozens of gondolasin the waterways between build-ings in Venice, the Piazza San

Marco, the Louvre and the EiffelTower.Since Firestone also makes it

his priority to take his camerawith him wherever he and hiswife travel, he described why heis so intrigued by pictures andwhy he continues on his photo-graphic journey.

"I do pictures for a couple ofreasons," he said. "One is formemories, but also, Im verytaken with color and shape andtextures, and Im taken with the

human element people playingor living in that context. Just find-ing what is aesthetically beautifuland what strikes me is key, so Ilike to record that and take pho-tos of that and then be able to

share it with other people.""Taking a picture just grabs the

moment and holds it for you," headded.

For visitors interested in pur-chasing any of Firestone's pic-tures that are on display, theres abook at the exhibit with all of thepictures and order forms, so any-one can go through the book,choose whichever photos they'dlike to purchase and then writetheir information on an orderform.

across the street from Penny-town, to see if the two propertiescould be used together in someway to provide all of the neces-sary affordable housing needs,most importantly sewage andwater.

Pogorzelski detailed how thetownship conducted a variety ofstudies on the Kooltronics proper-ty and drilled wells to determine

whether or not they could providesewer and water service."The results of the studies have

been that we have found water onthe Kooltronics property," he said.

"It was not the geology that wewere hoping for, but our geologisthas indicated that there are wellsthat can provide some of the

water, but in order to provide allof the water, there would have tobe additional wells drilledthroughout the Kooltronics prop-erty in order to provide the totalwater volume on a daily basis.

"Additonally, for wastewaterthey found that the soils donthave the best permeability, butthey do have permeability, and wecould see a single-water waste-water system that could be ap-proaching over 125,000 square feet

of disposal area, which, when youplug in everything, could be be-tween eight and nine acres in size

just for disposal field," he added."In essence, that's where we stand

today."Since the results the township

obtained from the studies aren't100 percent favorable, the commit-

tee hired Natural Systems Utili-ties a distributed water infra-structure company that plans, de-signs, builds, owns and operateson-site, ecologically based watersystems for $68,000 at the meet-ing to explore the concept ofadaptive reuse of wastewater andto see if there are better waste-water methods to be implementedin the development process.

Until then, the township com-mittee will be working closely

with the Planning Board to makea final decision as to whether thetownship is going to pursue rede-velopment on the Pennytown site.

The discussion at the township

committee meeting is the first ofmany discussions regarding theresults of all studies conductedon Pennytown's property.

Once the latest sewer andwater reports are fully discussedat the Feb. 7 Planning Boardmeeting with the geologists andother wastewater professionalsthat conducted them, the Plan-ning Board and township com-mittee will determine whether ornot changes need to be made tothe original conceptual plan,which was presented to residentsin April 2012.

"If changes are necessary, they

will be made by Clarke Caton andHintz (the architecture firm hiredto design the site)," Pogorzelskisaid. "Then, at our Feb. 25 meet-ing, an update on the changes

that have been made will be dis-cussed."

Following the Feb. 25 meeting,Pogorzelski explained how the

Planning Board will review thechanges.

Once the conceptual designsare approved, the township com-mittee will hold two special pub-lic hearings to discuss all of thedetails, including traffic impacts,fiscal impacts, and all of the up-dated sewer and water informa-tion. The meetings are scheduledfor March 7 and March 14.

"Following the second meeting,everything that was discussed

will be bundled and sent to thetownship committee for the lastmeeting in March, and at thatmeeting, a 'go' or 'no-go' decisionwill be made," Pogorzelski said.
