    Eat ice cream, give back to communityBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

    Did you know that every Mon-day at Hopewells famous icecream spot, Cream King, donates20 percent of its proceeds and alltips to a local non-profit organiza-tion?

    Well, if you havent noticed,Cream King Mondays is one of the steps that owner of CreamKing Phil Volpe is taking to helphis employees who are mostlyhigh school students gain asense of giving back to their localcommunities.

    Its good to teach the kids whowork for you to give back to thecommunity, he said. Afterspending time working for a non-profit, youve seen the change,and peoples donations have beenlower. Its gotten much more diffi-cult to raise money as a result of the whole economic meltdown, soits good to teach these kids aboutthe entire economy and the non-profit sector.

    Volpe started Cream King Mon-

    days four and a half years ago,and hosts these charitable daysevery Monday from MemorialDay until Labor Day.

    On July 23, Cream King Mon-day helped assist the Trenton-based non-profit organizationCatholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton on its mission to helpfamilies in Mercer, Monmouth, HEATHER FIORE/The Hopewell Sun

    Hopewell native and owner of Baxter Construction James Bax-ter was recently selected by Re-modeling Magazine as a memberof this years Big50, and was for-mally recognized at a gala dinnerat the two-day Remodeling Lead-ership Conference in Baltimore,Md., back in May.

    Remodeling Magazine hasbeen recognizing 50 of the lead-ing contractors and remodelersaround the country for more than25 years now. Baxter was one of the six remodelers chosen fromNew Jersey, and was selected outof thousands of applicants.

    There are only 2 or 3 percentof all remodeling companies inthe country in the Big50, so its anice group to be in with, Baxter

    said.The Big50 awardees are placed

    into seven categories according totheir expertise, including MarketWise, Teamwork, Niches, Busi-ness Savvy, Fine Design, Sales &Marketing and Industry Impact.Baxter received his award forMarket Wise, which is awarded toremodelers who have built theirbusiness around a keen under-standing of their markets.

    We are very honored to re-

    ceive this award, Baxter said. Itrecognizes our business as onethat works tirelessly to exceed theexpectations of our customers. Idirect a lot of credit to my teamsof talented craftsmen and admin-istrators. They are just as respon-sible for the experience our cus-tomers receive and the success wehave realized as I am. We are

    lucky to live and operate in com-munities that value quality andintegrity as much as the invest-ment required to build their vi-sion.

    Remodeling Magazine also sep-

    arated each of the winners bytheir business specialty, includ-ing full-service remodeling, in-surance restoration, replace-ment/ specialty contractor,kitchen & bath remodeling anddesign/build remodeling. SinceBaxters company focuses on per-fecting each aspect of a personshome that they wish to refurbish,Baxter fell into the full-service re-modeling category.

    As a part of the interviewingprocess, GuildQuality, a survey-ing company for the constructionindustry, interviewed 50 of Bax-ters most recent customers toconduct a customer service as-sessment, which is somethingthat Baxter hopes to use in hiscompany in future years.

    Thats something we want tomove forward with down the roadbecause we feel that the cus-tomers opinion about our compa-ny is very important, he said.We want to make sure theyre

    happy, weve responded to theirneeds, and that weve called backon time because thats a bigthing.

    Baxter has been successfullyoperating Baxter Constructionfor 30 years now, and services thegreater Mercer County area, in-cluding Princeton, HopewellTownship and Borough and Pen-

    nington.Hes dedicated to truly listen-

    ing to the customers wants andneeds, developing trust and mutu-al respect, and demonstrating im-peccable craftsmanship and qual-ity, which is why he stood out toRemodeling Magazine.

    We didnt win by just volumeof dollars, Baxter said. It wasmore customer satisfaction and

    developing your company in atough economic time. Thats whatwas really cool about it.

    Baxter Construction also stuckout as a rarity in this years list of candidates because of Baxterssudden switch in business. He ex-plained how Baxter Constructionwas just a referral business, buttransformed into a more full-serv-ice company to service the pub-lics growing needs.

    Were sort of moving with thetrend and changing the way thatwe do things, Baxter said. Younever know how the referral busi-ness is going to be.

    Baxter also works closely withthe communities within MercerCounty, since hes supported com-munity organizations throughBaxter Constructions volunteerefforts with the Historical Societyof Princeton, Morven Museum &Garden, The Hopewell Board of Education, Hopewell Boroughand The Sourland Mountain Pre-

    serve.After being located in down-town Princeton on Nassau Streetfor 15 years, Baxter Constructionrelocated to Main Street onHopewell Borough, where theyhave been for the last 15 years.

    New Jersey does solar power.Does it well. Does it too well,as it turns out.

    According to the governors office,the state installed more solar capacityin the first quarter of 2012 than anyother state and led the nation in solar

    installations on commercial and indus-trial properties in 2011.

    Now, thats a source of pride. Being anational leader in something otherthan reality television shows is a goodthing.

    But, as it turns out, you can have toomuch of a good thing.

    The supply of solar power has nowsurpassed the demand, bringing themarket crashing down. And when themarket crashes, solar projects in theconstruction phase can stop. Jobs can

    be lost. The momentum of the solar in-dustry can come to a halt.

    The measure signed by Gov.Christie, which had bipartisan sup-port, aims to boost the market by re-quiring power companies to purchasemore solar power. In other words, thestate is trying to increase the demand,hoping that, eventually, it catches up to

    the supply, thereby giving those in thebusiness of building solar projects areason to keep doing what theyredoing.

    We think the bill certainly canthurt, given the current market situa-tion, but we also agree with expertswho think more might need to be done.

    In a statement, the Mid-AtlanticSolar Energy Industries Associationpoints out that the measure doesnt do

    enough to prevent a recurrence of theover-supply situation. It proposes con-trolling the pace of solar project pro-duction.

    It might be a bit premature to takethat step, but, as the state has seen, thisis a market that, left to its own, can runitself into the ground fairly quickly.

    Give the new measure time to work.See if the demand can catch up to thesupply. But be ready to step in if it be-comes clear that more steps are neededto avoid another crash.

    in our opinion

    Solar solutionRecent action will help the market, at least in the short term

    A super-solar stateNew Jersey is a national leader when itcomes to producing solar power. Oddly,that is now a bad thing. Supply exceedsdemand, and the market has crashed.A measure signed last month will helpto correct that.

    Burlington and Ocean counties,with all aspects of their lives, in-cluding addiction, domestic vio-lence and homelessness.

    Catholic Charities does greatwork all over New Jersey, so Imvery happy to have them on thelist, Volpe said.

    Catholic Charities, Diocese of

    Trenton is a private, non-profitorganization that deals with 54different programs throughoutall of Central New Jersey andMercer County, and serves any-one in need regardless of thei r re-ligious background, according toCommunications Manager LisaThibault.

    We provide everything frombasic needs to very specialized be-havioral counseling, addictiontreatment, domestic violencetreatment and prevention, shel-tering for domestic violence vic-tims and children, and things likethat, she said.

    Although the charity is namedCatholic Charities, Thibault de-scribed how its mission is merelytied into the idea behind religion,which is why they dont neglectpeople of other religions whoneed support.

    She also explained how the or-ganization has changed namesnumerous times since its incep-tion in 1872 as St. Michaels Or-phanage, and how it reached itsname of Catholic Charities, Dio-cese of Trenton.

    The president of the board of trustees is the Diocese of Tren-ton, and our mission is tied to thegospel mandate to help others,Thibault said.

    Since Volpe is well aware of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trentons mission and services,he used the organization as a ben-eficiary last summer as well.

    Less than 10 percent of Catholic Charities income goesto overhead, while 90 percent goesright into the hands of the peoplethat need it, Thibault said. Theorganization is very fiscallylean.

    Although nearly every pro-gram that Catholic Charities, Dio-cese of Trenton deals with is inneed of assistance, Thibault ex-plained how the proceeds fromCream King Monday fundraiserare going to benefit the Emer-gency & Community Servicesprogram in Mercer County, sinceit is in great need.

    It serves everyone in MercerCounty, she said. This programprovides vulnerable families andindividuals with food, clothing,

    assistance with back rent/utili-ties, and linkage to other re-sources for employment andhousing.

    Since the summer is a particu-larly tough time for families inneed because children arent inschool, Thibault explained howCatholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton is genuinely thankful forthe fundraiser at Cream King, aswell as Volpes creation of CreamKing Mondays.

    Its really nice of them to dothis, and we really appreciate it,she said.

    Hopewell 12A district team captures championship

    Construction on a new baseballfield at the Athletic Fields at Tim-berlane complex began construc-tion in July.

    The Hopewell Valley RegionalBoard of Education recentlyawarded a contract for the field,which is being funded mostly by agrant from Hopewell Township,to Land-Tech Enterprises, Inc., of Warrington, Pa.

    The $612,744 bid will pay forfield construction, the laying of plastic pipe that will encase elec-trical wiring, and sod.

    The baseball field is beingfunded by a $500,000 grant fromHopewell Township, from its set-tlement with Capital Health. Theschool district is contributingroughly $100,000 toward the proj-ect. The new field will have natu-

    ral sod turf, and is expected to becomplete by Oct. 31, and ready forplay in spring of 2013.

    We are grateful to the Town-ship Committee and the commu-nity for their support of this proj-ect, Superintendent Tom Smithsaid. Their support allowed us toplace the new artificial turf fieldin a location best suited for dis-trict needs and future installation

    of lights and bleachers. Just asimportant, moving the baseballfield will enable us to provide thebaseball program with a perma-nently fenced, self-contained fa-cility at the Athletic Fields atTimberlane (AFT) complex.

    The former baseball field hadno permanent fence, and over-lapped with the high schools soc-cer field.
