Climbing to raise epilepsy awareness
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
Mount Kilimanjaro, the dor-
mant volcanic mountain located
in Tanzania, Africa, is the highest
freestanding mountain in the
world. Hopewell resident Eric
Miller is set to trek to its summit
this coming August in memory of
his late wife, Carolina Barcelos
Carneiro de Oliveira Miller.
Carolina died as a result of
Sudden Unexpected Death in
Epilepsy (SUDEP) in August 2011
at age 25.
Since Carolinas passing,
Miller has been working tireless-
ly to raise epilepsy awareness as
well as funds for various founda-
tions, since he believes epilepsy
isnt given the proper attention it
deserves.
Six months ago, Miller began
conducting a series of concerts at
his home in Pennington entitled
Candlelight Concerts for Epilepsy
Awareness.
Since its inception, Miller has
held more than two-dozen con-
certs, which have featured award-
winning artists. Through these
concerts, he has managed to raise
thousands of dollars to donate to
various epilepsy foundations, in-
cluding Citizens United for Re-
search in Epilepsy (CURE) and
the Epilepsy Foundation of New
Jersey.

Speed
limit
focus at
meeting
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
At Hopewell Township's
committee meeting on Nov. 13,
the majority of residents
voiced their concerns about
the speed limit changes on
Bear Tavern Road (County Rt.
579), specifically in regard to
childrens safety, which has
been an ongoing issue for the
last three years.
Many of the residents said
that Bear Tavern Road has in-
consistent speed limit changes,
which they each advised the
committee to lower in the reso-
lution that was adopted.
The road's speed limit is cur-
rently 50 mph and 35 mph in
the vicinity of Bear Tavern El-
ementary, which the residents
wanted dropped from 35 mph
to 25 mph, as all school zones
are.

tee adopted amended a previ-

ous resolution passed by the
township committee in Septem-
ber endorsing speed limit
changes by Mercer County on
Bear Tavern Road, and proposed
to make the entire length of Bear
Tavern Road from Jacobs Creek
Road to Harbourtion Woodsville
Road 45 mph, except for 30 mph
when passing through the Bear
Tavern Elementary School Zone
while 30 mph when flashing
signs are operating during recess
or while children are going to or
leaving school during operating
or closing hours.
Township Administrator Paul
Pogorzelski explained how Mer-
cer County erroneously in-
creased the speed limit of Bear
Tavern Road north of Pleasant
Valley Road from 45 mph to 50
mph, and since then has changed
its documents, but now need an
endorsement for the change,
which is approval of the resolu-
tion.
Residents who voiced their dis-
pleasure with the committee's
proposal included Bear Tavern
Elementary (BT) school parents
like resident Kim Robinson, who
presented the committee with a
petition signed by more than 300
BT students, teachers, families,
and community members.
As you know, BT is the only
public elementary [school] in
Mercer County that does not have
a 25 mph speed limit when chil-
dren are present, she said. The
petition asks for a speed limit of
no higher than 40 mph in front of
the school, and 25 mph when chil-
dren are present.
Pogorzelski explained how the
state, and therefore, Mercer
County determines the speed lim-
its on county roads like Bear Tav-
ern Road using the 85th per-
centile rule, which presents chal-
lenges for traffic engineers to ad-
just.
The 85th percentile speed is the
speed at or below which 85 per-
cent of the motorists drive on a
given road unaffected by slower
traffic or poor weather; it indi-
cates the speed that most mo-
torists on the road consider safe
and reasonable under ideal condi-
tions.
Since many residents voiced
their proposals to change the
speed limit to 25 mph by BT,
Mayor Michael Markulec sug-
gested amending the resolution
and changing the last paragraph
to include the township's expecta-
tions that the speed limits will be
reduced to 35 mph from Jacobs
Creed Road to Harbourton
Woodsville Road and 25 mph in
the Bear Tavern School Zone
when children are present a year
from the implementation of the
resolution.
Today, we've got an opportuni-
ty to reduce the speed and a com-
mitment from the other govern-
ing body that they would reevalu-
ate our original recommendation
in one year, he said. Its not 100
percent win; you dont have al-
ways 100 percent, but its doing
the right thing. And if the majori-
ty of the committee and residents
want to continue to fight this,
good luck because it wont get
fixed in the short term and youll
be living with the higher speed
limits in front of the school. I un-
derstand that people dont like
government, but were taking a
step in the right direction.

Petition asks for lower speed
PETITION
Continued from page 1
stantly in motion trying to find
new and innovative ways to raise
epilepsy awareness, the idea of
climbing a mountain in memory
of a loved one popped into his
mind. And, what better way to
show his lasting dedication than
climbing to the top of the highest
mountain in the world on the an-
niversary of Carolinas passing?
However, it wasnt until he had
dinner with one of his long-time
friends who is an avid mountain
climber that his idea to conquer
Mount Kilimanjaro arose.
Id only do it for this cause,
Miller said. My friend cant go
out and spend several thousand
dollars on a climb, so he suggest-
ed maybe going to one of the
states, like Mount Shasta in Cali-
fornia. However, the purpose is
not climbing the mountain, its
raising awareness for epilepsy, so
I thought I needed to stick to the
one that had a bit of pizazz to it
instead of another one in the
United States.
Miller coordinated the eight-
day journey, which he coined Tak-
ing Epilepsy Awareness to New
Heights, with Ultimate Kiliman-
jaro a U.S.-based company that
specializes in serving clients who
are interested in safe, small-party
climbs on Mount Kilimanjaro
which has about 10 different
routes to climb the mountain.
With Ultimate Kilimanjaro,
Miller will be on the summit of
the mountain on the anniversary
of Carolinas passing, Aug. 22,
which is the most significant
point of the trip.
All of these epilepsy aware-
ness things I do, Im very particu-
lar about honoring her, so I try to
coordinate it with events, Miller
said.
To prepare for the climb, Miller
explained how he is going to have
to train for a couple of months.
The actual climb is eight days
long, and I will be camping out on
the mountain overnight, he said.
Its eight days of hiking and
climbing. The first day or two
youre walking to the mountain
almost through the rainforest.
With the route that Im taking, I
have an extra day for acclimation,
where I climb up and climb down
just to get used to altitude.
Miller is also going to need a
considerable amount of money to
fund his trip $6,000 which is
why he set up an IndieGoGo cam-
paign. IndieGoGo is an interna-
tional crowd-funding site where
anyone can raise money for film,
music, art, charity, small busi-
nesses and much more.
The fundraising effort is
specifically to cover my costs,
Miller said. I will not keep a sin-
gle penny. Any overages after
costs will be donated to the
Epilepsy Foundation and CURE.
Of Millers $6,000 goal, he allot-
ted $1,500 for his flight, $2,200 for
climbing group fees, and $500 for
equipment and incidentals. How-
ever, he only has one more month
to fundraise through IndieGoGo
since campaigns on the website
only last for a three-month peri-
od.
IndieGoGo only runs to Dec.
25, he said. So, that gives me
January through August to shoot
for other donations.
Miller has four different op-
tions for potential sponsors with
his IndieGoGo campaign $25,
$100, $250, and $750 and with
each contribution, he attaches dif-
ferent perks.
For example, if someone were
to donate $250, Miller promises to
carry a custom photo of the
donors loved one to the peak of
Mount Kilimanjaro.
I already have two or three
people that have lost people to
SUDEP, who have been inspired
by my story, and who have spon-
sored me to take a photo of a
child, Miller said. One woman
wrote me a message about how
her son has epilepsy severely and
hes too young to understand it
yet, so she sponsored me to carry
his photo to the summit so when
he gets older hell read it and get
it; I thought that was pretty amaz-
ing.
As of Nov. 12, Miller successful-
ly acquired 46 percent of the
funds through his IndieGoGo
campaign and sponsorships.
Although hes planning on
going by himself, nearly a dozen
other people have shown interest
in tagging along, including in-
trigued documentarians and mu-
sical performers.
Ive had some documentari-
ans show interest in filming it, ei-
ther me preparing and getting
ready, or actually going along and
filming the journey, he said.
One of the performers who has
talked about going with me talked
about the logistics about bringing
a guitar up and performing at
summit; that is a remote possibil-
ity.
Anything that I can do to
leverage and get more attention is
a success, he added. I have it in
my mind that Im going by myself
but if anyone else goes, thats just
the icing on the cake.
Regardless of whether or not
Miller is joined by a documentari-
an, he is planning on document-
ing the journey for himself.
This is my point to, quite liter-
ally, shout it from the mountain
tops, Miller said.
