book – are paired with activitysheets so children can assess theirreading experiences and providevaluable feedback for library staff,Ha said.

“When I wrote the grant, it wasan idea to add some value to oursummer reading program to cre-ate literacy information packs forthem,” Ha said. “Some summerreading programs are based onthe number of books, and ours isbased on activity sheets that kidsfill out after reading books. Thesheets have questions that encour-age children to ponder whatthey’ve read to imagine some-

thing further.”As part of the program, the

children are given incentives inthe form of stickers. For everybundle they read and activitysheet they return, they receiveone sticker. Once they get sixstickers, they receive a prize.Once they get 10 stickers, they canattend the pizza party at the end of 

the summer.“What I proposed in the grant

was to make it more personal;we’re a small library, so I wantedit to have a more personal touch,”she said. “By pairing each bundlewith an activity sheet, we’re try-ing to add a literacy componentwhere it’s a dialogue with thekids.”

Currently, there are80 children in ‘Dig

Into Reading’ club

Children can also read twobooks of their choice that aren’tbundled at the library, as long asthey read one fiction and one non-fiction book. There are currently80 children in “Dig Into Reading.”

Ha’s ultimate goal is to have 100.“It’s been really great for them

because they’re picking up booksthat they normally wouldn’t,” Hasaid. “And at the same time,they’re discovering a lot of non-fiction books that they wouldn’thave read. Most readers run di-rectly to the fiction section, so thisis a great way to encourage themto read non-fiction books.”

The program ends Aug. 14, andchildren can sign up wheneverthey want at the library.

“At Dollar General, we are pas-sionate about our mission of ‘Serving Others’ throughout thecommunities we serve,” said RickDreiling, Dollar General’s chair-man and CEO. “It’s exciting to seethe Dollar General Literacy Foun-dation’s outreach in action as we

partner with organizations to fur-ther education and literacy andmake a real difference in people’slives.”

The DGLF has awarded morethan $81 million in grants to non-profit organizations in its 20 yearsf existence. For more informationabout “Dig Into Reading,” call thelibrary at (609) 737-0404 or go topenningtonlibrary.org.

Finally, nine months after Super-

storm Sandy touched ground,

New Jersey’s economy is gain-

ing momentum.

A report released last week by Wells

Fargo, the state’s second largest bank

by deposits, says that federal and in-

surance money flowing into the stateto aid in the Sandy recovery started to

pay dividends in the first half of 2013,

and should continue to propel the

economy for the rest of this year.

According to the report, the state

added 4,200 construction jobs from

January to June of this year. The

same time last year, the industry lost

4,500 jobs.

It’s a great sign for the state. Gov.

Christie estimated New Jersey suf-

fered $37 billion in damage from the

storm. Approximately 22,000 homes

were left uninhabitable and 325,000

others were significantly damaged.

Now, in the dead of the summer,with the start of hurricane season ap-

proaching again, construction is heat-

ing up, fueling the state’s overall eco-

nomic recovery.

The Wells Fargo report wasn’t all

peachy, though. While New Jersey’s

economy was significantly better in

the first half of this year compared to

last, it still lags behind national aver-

ages. Six percent of all mortgages are

in foreclosure, the second-highest rate

in the country behind only Florida.

Housing prices grew only 2.9 percent

year over year, while the national aver-

age stood at 12.2 percent. New Jersey’s

unemployment rate dropped almost a

point in the last year, and that trend is

expected to continue, but it still sits at

8.7 percent compared to the national

average of 7.6 percent.

These stats beg the questions:

Should we compare New Jersey to the

rest of the country? Or should we justcompare the Garden State to itself?

New Jersey is a very unique state in

that its economy is fueled strongly by

two major metropolitan regions whose

city is in another state. The economy

works differently here. Employment

works differently here. Elections work

differently here. So why, then, if we

are an outlier, must we compare our-

selves to others?

For once, we need to focus on our

own recovery, and ensure we are

adding as many jobs as we can, no

matter what our stats look like com-

pared to every other state.

Recovery ‘finally catching a break’‘Considerable momentum’ gained in first half of 2013, report says

Your thoughts

Should we rejoice in the positive outlookfor New Jersey’s economy? Or shouldwe be worried that we lag behind therest of the country? Let your voice beheard through a letter to the editor.

Residents want town to buy part of roadBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

Because Mercer County deniedHopewell Township’s request tolower the speed limit on Bear Tav-ern Road (Route 579) in the vicini-ty of Bear Tavern ElementarySchool, residents are urgingtownship officials to purchase aportion of the road from thecounty.

Purchasing a section of theroad would give the township con-trol over the speed limit and othermaintenance requirements, such

as its re-paving.When residents approachedthe county several months ago tolower the speed limit on Route 579in front of the school from 30 mphto 25 mph during designatedschool hours, the county said itwas willing to do so if it receiveda supportive resolution from thetownship committee.

However, a little more than amonth ago, Mercer County Exec-utive Brian Hughes sent a letterto the township committee in re-

sponse to the resolution, rejectingthe idea and reiterating that thecounty supports the state and na-tional guidelines for establishingspeed limits – which are calculat-ed based on speed survey data.

To compromise with the town-ship, Hughes stated in his letterthat the county would be willingto sell a portion of the road to thetownship, which would then beresponsible for “maintaining allrelated roadway features, includ-

ing the pavement, signing, strip-ing and guiderail.”At the committee’s meeting on

July 22, more than a dozen con-cerned residents voiced theirfrustration with the county, andtheir support of the township tak-ing over a portion of the road.

One of the parents, Kim Robin-son, who spearheaded the effortto lower the speed limit morethan six months ago, said thetownship is fully capable of pur-chasing and maintaining a sec-

tion of the road.“We have resources to create

and move athletic fields, to pur-chase pieces of property we feelwould be beneficial to the town,and to fund the recreation depart-

ment,” she said. “Even if we dohave to maintain the road our-selves, I’m confident we have theresources to asphalt one mile of 

roadway every 15 years in orderto protect over 400 of our chil-dren.”

One of the major expenses thetownship would have to absorb, if it decides to purchase a section of Route 579, would be the repavingof the road, which would costabout $763,000, according toTownship Mayor Vanessa San-dom.

Hopewell Valley Central HighSchool teacher Dr. Robert O’Boyle

said the county’s rejection of low-ering the speed limit is an embar-rassment, and said the studentsare the “community’s greatest re-source” that should be protectedat any expense.

“As a resource, protecting ourgreatest resource – our children – the people who are employed atthe district that also work there,and the community at large thatuses it, both as an educationaland cultural center, I ask you toplease install in the county a little

bit of fear, and if not, the town-ship should step up and do theright thing,” he said.

Various other parents and stu-dents echoed O’Boyle’s commentsand supported the idea of thetownship securing a portion of the road, particularly the one-mile stretch from Jacobs CreekRoad to Washington CrossingRoad (Route 546) that runs infront of Bear Tavern Elementary.

If the township were to move

forward with purchasing a sec-tion of the road, Township Ad-ministrator/Engineer PaulPogorzelski said the committeehas three options, or three sec-tions it can purchase – Phase I,which runs from Jacobs CreekRoad to Route 546; Phase II, whichruns from Route 546 to PleasantValley Road; and/or Phase III,which runs from Pleasant ValleyRoad to Harbourton-WoodsvilleRoad.

Pogorzelski said the township

has the ability to purchase anyone or all three phases.

He said Phase I would cost$65,000 per year to maintain, andPhases II and III would cost about$89,000 to maintain.

Committeeman James Burdwas disheartened by the county’sfailed promise, but suggested pur-chasing the first phase of the

road for the safety of the stu-dents.

Committeeman MichaelMarkulec suggested looking overroads in the township that couldpossibly be exchanged for one of the three phases that Pogorzelskipresented, which would, in turn,cost the township little to noth-ing.

Pogorzelski said there is a listof roadways that could be ex-changed, but he’s unsure if the

county would be interested inpurchasing any of them.Committeemen Allen Cannon

and Harvey Lester said the town-ship should search for other alter-natives, such as looking into ex-changing roads or trying to workwith the county further, before afinal decision is made.

“We need to leave no stone un-turned before we are able to makea decision,” Lester said.

Sandom said the committeestill has some things to look at be-

fore deciding whether it wants topursue purchasing the road.More will be discussed about theissue at the township committee’snext meeting in August.
