    The Hopewell Valley Arts

    Council officially kicked off itscommunity-wide public art ini-tiative, the Hopewell Valley Stam-pede, at Hopewell Valley Vine-yards on June 13 with its OllyOlly Oxen Free event.

    The HVAC was formed fewerthan six months ago in an at-tempt to bring more arts to thevalley Hopewell Township,Hopewell Borough and Penning-ton and also fund programs andcommunity space that supportthe visual, performing and musi-cal arts.

    When a community pursues apublic art initiative, it has tochoose an animal, which comesin the form of a life-sized statue,to symbolize its township.

    Once an animal is chosen, in-formation sessions and fundrais-ing events are held to raiseawareness about the initiativeand raise funds to sponsor thedecorating of each animal.

    About three months ago, the

    HVAC chose an ox to representHopewell because of the signifi-cance the animal holds in the val-ley, said Betsy Ackerman, co-chair of the HVAC.

    We thought that the ox was anappropriate symbol for the valleygiven its agricultural traditionsand the fact that oxen are stillused to plow in the area, shesaid.

    Theyre a wonderful symbol

    of teamwork because oxen aretypically part of a team. Theyrealso a good symbol of our senseof community because oxen are

    known for their endurance;theyre not speedy, but theyre en-during animals.

    The HVAC has a goal of deco-

    rating between 50 to 60 oxen,which are to be placed at notableplaces around the valley suchas the schools, post offices and

    municipal buildings to serve ascolorful landmarks for touristsand members of other local com-munities.

    We need artists who are will-ing to decorate an ox and turn itinto a work of art, Ackermansaid.

    We are also looking for spon-sors, which could be businesses,families, individuals, other or-ganizations or non-profits, tosponsor one of these decoratedoxen, and for volunteers to helpus stage and organize our event.

    After the HVAC places theoxen throughout the valley, thestatues will remain where theyare installed for about one yearuntil theyre auctioned off tobenefit the HVAC, Ackermansaid.

    After being showcasedthroughout the valley, next sum-mer, we will corral the oxen andhave an auction, which is the pri-mary culminating fundraiser,

    she said.The Olly Olly Oxen Free

    event was the inaugural event forthe HVAC. It was a sold-out eventwith about 120 people in atten-dance.

    The HVAC secured some busi-ness sponsors and local artiststhat signed up to help with thecause, as well as new volunteersand a selection of potential spon-sors.

    They will be hosting otherfundraising events throughoutthe year, and currently have fivesub-committees that are each

    working on a different aspect ofthe overall goal.

    The artist committee is taskedwith identifying performing, vi-sual, literary and culinary artists

    beyond the traditional arts plat-forms.

    The event committee is taskedwith conceiving, envisioning andorganizing and staging thefundraising events.

    A media committee is respon-sible for spreading the wordabout the HVAC through allmediums.

    An operations committee is re-sponsible for transporting, stor-ing and installing oxen through-out the valley. And the sponsorscommittee is tasked with identi-fying and obtaining sponsors tohelp make this initiative possible.

    We are looking for volunteers,depending on skill sets and inter-ests, to join the subcommittees sowe can make this a success, Ack-erman said.

    We absolutely need a lot morevolunteers because we haveplanned events over the next 15months and were going to need alot of help making this a valley-wide party to celebrate the arts.

    For more information aboutthe HVAC, to become a volunteeron one of the sub-committees orto become a sponsor, email Ack-erman at [email protected].

    Request to reducespeed limit on Bear

    Tavern Road declinedBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

    Although officials were seem-ingly in favor of reducing thespeed limit on Bear Tavern Road(Route 579) near Bear Tavern Ele-mentary School about twomonths ago, Mercer County re-

    cently declined Hopewell Town-ships request to lower the speedlimit from 30 mph to 25 mph from6:45 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. on schooldays and during special events.

    In a June 13 letter to TownshipMayor Vanessa Sandom, MercerCounty Executive Brian Hughessaid the county will retain thecurrent limit of 30 mph duringschool periods and 45 mph allother times.

    A little more than a month ago,resident and concerned parent

    Kim Robinson urged the town-ship committee to pass a resolu-tion endorsing a lowered speedlimit of 25 mph during designat-

    ed school hours at the countysrecommendation.

    She and other residents attend-ed several of the Mercer CountyChosen Board of Freeholdersmeetings over the last six monthsto bring attention to this issue.

    At the latest meeting, countyofficials assured the residents

    that if they obtained a supportiveresolution from the township,they would move forward withlowering the speed limit.

    However, after the townshipsubmitted the resolution to thecounty, Hughes reiterated thecountys position that state andfederal traffic engineering guide-lines support the 30 mph speedlimit in front of the school whenlights are flashing, and 45 mphwhen they arent flashing.

    The speed limits would be re-

    visited one year after the JacobsCreek Bridge is re-opened to traf-fic, Hughes said in the letter. As

    Its easy to forget that youth sports

    are about having fun, staying ac-

    tive and building character in

    kids. With all the emphasis society

    puts on winning whether it be on the

    sports field, in the classroom, at work

    or in social situations the goals of

    youth sports often get lost in the shuf-fle, hiding behind that key word:

    Win!

    Even more so in recent years, it

    seems, high school sports have some-

    how drifted away from the youth

    label and become a highly competitive

    training ground for future profession-

    al athletes. This emphasis on succeed-

    ing on the scoreboard is purely nega-

    tive when it is the only focus, when its

    a win-at-all-costs mentality, and

    when it crosses the line.

    A few weeks ago, The New Jersey

    Interscholastic Athletic Association

    the non-profit organization that over-

    sees 425 accredited public, private andparochial high schools in the state rep-

    resenting high school athletics

    passed new rules aimed at curbing

    trash talking that attacks others based

    on race, ethnicity and sexual orienta-

    tion. Its a new rule that piggybacks on

    the states recently-enacted anti-bully-

    ing law.

    Steve Goodell, an attorney for the

    NJSIAA, said: Trash talking, were

    not banning that. Were saying that

    race-baiting, attacking ones race or

    ethnicity, thats out of bounds.

    And Steven Timko, the executive di-

    rector of the NJSIAA, said: Obscene

    gestures, profanity or unduly provoca-

    tive language or action toward offi-

    cials, opponents or spectators wont be

    tolerated in the classroom or the field

    of play.

    Sounds simple and straightforward

    enough: Being unsportsmanlike wont

    be tolerated. But the announcement ofthe rules received some backlash from

    people asking when the policing, when

    the Big Brother mentality, will finally

    end. To that, we say, are you kid-

    ding?

    Its beyond us how anyone could

    argue that promoting sportsmanship,

    at any level youth, amateur or even

    professional would be a bad thing. If

    the NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, NCAA or

    MLS passed an official rule like this,

    the move would, and should, be ap-

    plauded, not criticized. So lets get

    real. Lets focus on whats important

    here building character in our kids.

    Take that trash talking elsewhereBan on some youth sports trash talking is a good idea

    Your thoughts

    What do you think about the NJSIAAsnew rule, and about sportsmanship inyouth sports nowadays? Let your voicebe heard through a letter to the editor.

    Resident wins national bowlers rolloffHopewell resident Jay Stout recentlywon the National Bowlers Association BillRhodman Memorial Championship SeniorDivision Rolloff.

    He qualified for the national tournamentby bowling in the Eastern Regional BillRhodman Senior Division at CarolierLanes in New Brunswick in March.

    There was a field of 74 bowlers from theeastern part of the country.

    There were eight games of qualifying,

    and the field was cut to the top half, whothen bowled four games the next day.

    The field was then cut to the top 16, whobowled four more games.

    Then, the top five bowled a "step-ladder"final. Stout qualified second in the eastern

    region.He bowled 234 and 221 to win the Eastern

    Regional at Carolier. This win providedhim the opportunity to compete in the Na-tional Bowlers Association Bill RhodmanMemorial Championship Senior DivisionRolloff against the qualifiers from the Cen-tral, Western and Southern Regions onMay 22. At the event in Louisville, the fourbowlers bowled two games for seeding.Stout rolled a 252 and a 202 to qualify first.

    Former professional bowler and three-timePBA champion, Ted Hannas, representingthe Central Region from Zanesville, Ohio,won the right to challenge Stout for thetitle.

    The match was competitive through the

    10th frame, where Stout had to strike orspare to win the match. Stout fired the balldown the lane and struck solidly to win thechampionship 214-193.

    "My goal when I left New Jersey was towin the title, Stout said. Going up againstTed Hannas in the final was a definite chal-lenge because I knew about his national ex-posure.

    Beating him in the final frame meantthat I still have what it takes to be competi-

    tive with the better bowlers."Stout received a $1,600 prize for his win

    and was also awarded a new Hammer bowl-ing ball, a TNBA customized shirt and achampionship jacket.

    Stout has been bowling for 44 years.

    School flashers forBear Tavern school

    to be upgraded

    you may be aware, the existingschool flashers for the Bear Tav-ern Elementary School would beupgraded with driver speed feed-

    back signs as part of a federallyfunded safety grant.School officials would also

    have the ability to operate thesedevices to better coincide withchanges in the school scheduleand other recurring and non-re-curring events.

    We strongly believe that thesechanges will enhance safety formotorists and children enteringand exiting Bear Tavern Elemen-tary School while balancing theneed for safe and efficient traffic

    flow on Bear Tavern Road.In his letter, Hughes also stated

    how the county would be willingto consider turning over jurisdic-tion of Bear Tavern Road be-tween Jacobs Creek and Wash-ington Crossing roads to thetownship.

    Under this scenario, Mercer

    County would maintain the re-constructed Jacobs Creek Bridgeand the township would assumeliability and be responsible formaintaining all related roadwayfeatures, including pavement,signing, striping and guiderail,he said.

    The township would be able

    to establish traffic regulations itdeems appropriate, includingdesignation of passing zones andsetting speed limits.

    Along with this section of theroad, Hughes also said the countywould consider a further exten-sion of Hopewell Township juris-diction to Harbourton-Woodsville Road, the currentcounty/municipal boundary.

    Under this scenario, MercerCounty would continue to main-tain the traffic signal at the

    Washington Crossing Road inter-section as well as bridges and cul-verts that are currently on thecounty's inventory list.

    If the township decided to dothis, it would be responsible forrepaving the road, which is doneevery 15 years and costs $763,000,Sandom said.
