On Oct. 1, the Lawrence Hopewell Trail celebratedthe opening of another mile of trail in Lawrence Town-ship, which stretches 5,000 feet from Bristol-MyersSquibb’s Princeton Pike campus through theLawrenceville School grounds, with Lewisville Roadconnecting the two segments.

With the completion of this trail, 80 percent of the22-mile project is now constructed, said Eleanor Horne,co-president of LHT.

The project is expected to be finished in 2014.“The trail was thought of as an enduring gift to the

residents of Hopewell and Lawrence, as well as the res-idents of Mercer County, and it has become just that,”she said. “When finished, these trails will connectLawrence and Hopewell and run through some of themost beautiful scenery in our area.”

The new eight-foot-wide asphalt trail runs from

Princeton Pike on the undeveloped BMS property, pastthe Brearley Oak and around the northern tip of theproperty. It crosses Lewisville Road and connects di-rectly with the Lawrenceville School at its baseballfield parking lot before winding its way through cam-pus.

The LHT held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for thisnew trail where the two segments connect onLewisville Road, which was attended by dignitaries

The multi-year project to com-plete various energy-efficient im-provements to Bear Tavern Ele-mentary School is finally fin-ished, and students and teachersare noticing a difference.

Over the last several years, thedistrict’s facilities departmenthas been working with engineer-ing and architectural profession-als to transform the building touse less energy.

The project was completedwith help from New Jersey’sClean Energy Program, Pay ForPerformance, an energy efficien-

cy program that provides incen-tives toward whole-building ener-gy improvements, said NormTorkelson, director of facilitiesfor Hopewell Valley RegionalSchool District.

“As part of P4P, we needed toaddress at least four major build-ing systems,” he said. “Based onthe total project cost, the programpays for a certain amount.”

Improvements that were madeto BT included an improved roof system topped with solar panels,repositioned ventilation above

the window line as opposed tobelow to allow fresher air into theclassrooms, tempering incomingair with exhaust air, the conver-

sion of all unit ventilators to radi-ant bars, Nano-ceramic films onwindows that reject or absorb in-frared light to heat or cool theclassroom, energy-saving ZooFans in the gym that improve thetemperature differential betweenthe roof and floor of three andfour degrees instead of 20 to 30 de-grees, the transition from four-bulb T8 lights to two-bulb T5lights that use about half the en-ergy, and a new HVACshared heating and cooling sys-tem.

The new ventilation systemsallow for better air intake and

Committee needs to changespeed in front of school

It’s a sad day when citizens are forced totake legal action against their own govern-ing bodies, simply to ensure that their legalrights and those of the community’s chil-dren are not usurped and trampled by thatbody. Unfortunately, it has come to this inHopewell Township, where residents try-ing to protect school children have run upagainst town leaders who appear to havelittle regard for the law.

Many governmental authorities in ourcountry seem to feel they are above thelaw; they are not. The Hopewell Township

referendum currently being challenged incourt is unlawful on two counts – first andforemost, it was filed 11 days past the statu-tory deadline. It was dead before the com-mitteemen even breathed the words. But, if that weren’t enough to stop them (and itwasn’t), it was also written in a mislead-ing, incomplete and biased manner (a sec-ond violation). Worse yet, when confrontedwith these legal defects, both the TownshipCommittee and the Mercer County clerkfailed to address them, choosing instead toleave the illegal question on the ballot.When asked how this could possibly belawful, the Township Committee refused toanswer, while Mercer County cited incor-rect statutes, one not even related to local

ballot questions. Sadly, the township andthe county left the residents with nochoice.

But, let’s look at the decision to put thisissue to referendum in the first place.Hopewell Township has not used the power

ELECTION LETTERSLetters to the editor regarding the

Nov. 5 election will not be printed in theOct. 30 edition. The Oct. 23 edition willbe the last edition before elections to

print these letters.

Last week, the town council inMoorestown passed an ordi-nance. Town councils every-

where pass ordinances all the time. It’spart of what they do, the process bywhich they enact, or in this instancerepeal, rules and regulations.

But this particular ordinance thatMoorestown’s council passed on Oct. 7is especially pertinent, not just for thattown, but for many others throughoutthe state.

The ordinance in question repealeda pay-to-play ordinance that was origi-nally passed on Aug. 19. That ordi-nance sought to bring the township’spolitical contributions policy in linewith that of the state’s.

Controversy arose, however, whenthe details came out – contribution lev-els to candidates for council increasedfrom $300 to $2,600 for professionalbusiness entities and from $500 to$7,200 for a political action committee.That’s a lot of money for a local elec-

tion.Not surprisingly, a committee of

residents gathered almost 1,400 signa-tures opposing the ordinance, andfewer than two months later, it was off the township’s books.

We think this was a good move bythe council. We’re all for pay-to-playordinances that protect local townsfrom being run by outside influencessuch as corporations or other politicalentities. Local politics, more so thanany other form of government, shouldbe about the residents of the town.

Local elections should be about thecandidates involved and what theywill do for the town and its residents.Period. It shouldn’t be about what

businesses want to see or “politicalmachines” want to see. It’s about thepeople.

Ironically, we believe Moorestown’sinitial contribution limits would bemore effective in eliminating corrup-tion than the pay-to-play ordinance thecouncil passed in August. As such,we’re happy to see it was rescinded.

However, we do encourage theMoorestown council, and all localcouncils, commissions and commit-tees in New Jersey, to pass regulationson contribution limits, if such regula-tions aren’t already on the books.

It’s election season, and as we watchdebates and read about issues fromcandidates at the state level – and hearof even more trouble at the federallevel – it’s hard not to lose confidencein the honesty and integrity of politicstoday.

But local elections and local politicsdon’t have to be that way, as long as wecontrol it.

in our opinion

Under o ur controlLocal election s don’t have to get out of hand

Your thoughtsDo you think municipalities should havestrict pay-to-play ordinances? Or do youthink local politics can govern itself?

and county and township offi-cials, including CouncilmenAllen Cannon and Harvey Lester.

Mercer County ExecutiveBrian Hughes, who’s been in-volved with the effort since theLHT began 11 years ago, said thissegment is “a great addition to agreat trail.”

Because construction bids for

the primary segment came inbelow estimates, the LHT, withhelp from Lawrence TownshipEngineer Jim Parvesse, was ableto extend the construction projectin partnership with theLawrenceville School.

The segment around theschool’s athletic fields fits wellwith the terraced fields, and byusing recycled gravel and otherconstruction materials, theschool’s supervisor of buildingsand grounds, Tim Moore, wasable to reach all the way to the in-terior campus road and still beunder budget.

Liz Duffy, headmaster at theLawrenceville School, takes ad-vantage of the trail often and saidit wouldn’t be what it is todaywithout the “determination, per-sistence and ‘can-do’ optimism”of Horne and Becky Taylor, whoenvisioned and founded the LHT.

“Our mission as a school is toinspire and educate students to

become responsible leaders. Toachieve that aim, it’s essentialthat we, as an institution, modelwhat it means to be a responsibleleader,” she said. “This bike pathrepresents not only the long-standing ties between the schooland the community, but also ourshared commitment to environ-mental sustainability.”

The construction of this seg-ment was funded by a $248,000grant, provided by the WilliamPenn Foundation through theDelaware Valley Regional Plan-ning Commission’s RegionalTrails Program.

“When the William Penn Foun-dation funded us to create the Re-gional Trails Program to support

trails, it was with the vision of creating a network of trails,” saidChris Linn, senior environmentalplanner at DVRPC. “We looked forgroups that shared their missionof overcoming the challenges of building trails and linking themtogether into a larger network,and the LHT group and all of itssupporters really get that chal-lenge and have really risen to it.”

BMS has also been a key playerin the development of many of the LHT’s trails, having con-tributed more than $2.5 million

over the last decade, according toFred Egenolf, director of corpo-rate communications and com-munity affairs at BMS.

For this segment, BMS provid-ed landscaping enhancements, in-cluding split rail fencing, bench-es, special plantings along thetrail and a permanent easement.

“Bristol-Myers Squibb initiat-ed creation of the trail in 2002 andhas remained our most generoussupporters,” Taylor said. “Theopening of the BMS PrincetonPike segment is a tremendouscontribution to the trail.”

Why is anextra exit lane being added to theScudders Falls Bridge project justfor Bear Tavern Road? Why doesthe county engineer say that BearTavern Road wants to be a thor-oughfare? And why are com-

have dramatically improved theamount of fresh air in each class-room, as well as the amount of energy used.

“What’s very different aboutthis system is that we’re banningoutside air intake on the tradi-tional unit ventilator, sealing itoff and raising the fresh air inand exhaust air out on top of thewindow, instead of on the bottomwhere there’s mold, grass, dew

and things like that,” Torkelsonsaid. “This lowers the heatingand cooling demand of the sys-tems by as much as 30 or 40 per-

cent, which translates into a lot of energy.”

New air-to-air heat exchangers,which are located on the ceiling of each classroom, were also hungdifferently so they create lessnoise in the classroom.

Some of the most noticeableand appreciated improvementsare the new solenoid valve boxesthat allow each classroom to inde-pendently control the heating orcooling, Torkelson said.

The energy that isn’t used isdonated back into a “Freon line,”a shared hub of energy for theschool.

“Basically, the sunny rooms are

heating the cooler rooms and viceversa,” Torkelson said. “We’reusing BTUs more than once; it’ssimilar to a geo-thermal system.”

With this system and the newCO2 sensors, each classroom canoperate at whatever temperatureit’s most comfortable with.

“If it’s ventilating and the classleaves the room, and there’senough fresh air, the CO2 sensorwill turn the ventilation systemoff so it saves energy,” Torkelsonsaid. “It’s not like a traditionalsystem; this system might runseven hours a day instead of 12hours.”

Teachers at BT have beennoticing the benefits of the newheating and cooling system, espe-cially because the majority of thebuilding didn’t have air-condi-

tioning prior to this project.“It has made learning a lot eas-ier,” said Kim Niefer, kinder-garten teacher. “It’s more com-

fortable, and the students aren’tas tense with each other.”

Fourth-grade teacher AlisonMorrison, who used to have oneof the hottest rooms in the school,said it’s the best thing that hap-pened to the school.

“We’re very happy,” shesaid.

Teachers and Torkelson alsosaid the school has seen better at-tendance, less sickness and kidsstaying academically active allday long as a result of the newsystems.

“All of the humidity that theschool used to have is gone,” guid-ance counselor Kevin Kirwan

said.With all of these energy im-provements, Torkelson said KlasHaglid, the district’s energy effi-

ciency engineer, said the schoolshould see a reduction in energybills of at least $75,000 a year ormore.

“We’re using less energy thanwhen we first started,” Torkelsonsaid.

Although the total cost of theproject was $1.2 million, approxi-mately $84,000 is being fundedthrough a state grant, accordingto Bob Colavita, HVRSD businessadministrator.

“The cost of all these systemsto put in, less the rebates and in-centives that we get through theBPU Pay For Performance pro-gram, five years out, we’re report-

ing to the board of education thatthe ultimate cost of this project tothem is going to be about 26 centson the dollar,” Torkelson said.
