Cell tower
put on hold
again
The Montgomery Board of Ad-
justment has put a plan for a cell
tower at Staats Farm and Green
roads on hold until Dec. 20.
Board members agreed to con-
tinue the application to give Dean
Stamos, attorney for T-Mobile, ap-
plying as Omnipoint Communi-
cations, an opportunity to make a
closing statement before the
board deliberates and votes on
the application, which has been
ongoing for two years.
About 60 residents attended the
meeting Nov. 22, most saying they
would not have moved to the com-
munity if they had known that a
cell phone tower would obstruct
their view.
When my husband and I moved
there 10 years ago, it was love at
first sight, said Meadowlark
Lane resident Ping Li Lee. There
was nothing unsightly like a cell
phone tower there. It is quiet and
safe there, and I dont think we
should change that.
Its emotionally and economi-
cally negative to our quality of
life, she added. And I dont
think you want house values
dropping, cause it will lower your
tax revenue.
Franklin Drive resident
Michelle Blaine presented a peti-
tion of 276 signatures to the
board, but board attorney
Jonathon Drill said that since the
residents listed on the petition
could not be cross-examined, it
could not be entered as evidence
in deliberations on the case.
Im not against cell towers or
technology, she said. I just
think you need to be considerate
when placing the towers to safe-
guard the rural character of the
neighborhood.
Blaine said she submitted a list
of alternative sites for the tower,
but never heard back from the
company.
There needs to be more con-
sideration to alternative technolo-
gy, she said. I dont think they
seriously explored alternative
sites.
Stamos said the company has

Fire damages Maplewood House
The Somerset County Prosecu-
tors Office, the Montgomery
Township Police Department,
and township fire officials are in-
vestigating the cause of a fire that
damaged the historic Maplewood
House in Skillman Park Nov. 19.
The house was vacant at the time
of the fire, which has been la-
beled suspicious by officials.
Police and fire companies were
dispatched to the house at 3:47
p.m. for a structure fire reported
by bicyclists in the park, accord-
ing to reports. Police say they ar-
rived shortly after the initial call
and found heavy fire from the
house. Montgomery Fire Co. No.
1 and No. 2, the Rocky Hill Fire
Department, the Hopewell Fire
Department and Montgomery
EMS responded. The fire was
brought under control in about
two hours. The structure was
gutted and burned through the
roof, leaving only the exterior
walls visible. No injuries were re-
ported.
The Maplewood House, built
circa 1845, is the original farm-
stead that became Skillman Vil-
lage after Montgomery Township
purchased the property from the
state in 2007. The house is listed

Maplewood House fire
deemed suspicious
on both the National and State
Historic Registers, and is situated
on a six-acre parcel of land that is
owned by the township.
The majority of Skillman Vil-
lage was sold to Somerset County
in October of this year.
According to Internet re-
search, the home is a notable ex-
ample of a large, 19th-Century
Greek-Revival residence.
It was purchased by John A.
Vorhees and his wife, Janette Ker-
show in 1754, became known as
Maplewood, and remained in the
family for 144 years.
In 1845, Capt. John A. Vorhees,
grandson of the original John
Vorhees, completely renovated
and reconstructed an old farm-
house into what was standing on
the property.
In 1989, the entire farm was
purchased by the state for use as
the State Village for Epileptics,
and shortly afterward, the house
was converted into a multipur-
pose facility while the campus
was being developed. It was the
administrative office, residence of
the superintendent and his fami-
ly, the steward and his wife and
the first eight patients admitted.
The house was renovated into
the Colonial Revival style when
the patients were relocated and
the home became administrative
offices only.

POLICE REPORTS
The following items were taken
from reports on file with the
Montgomery Township Police De-
partment:
A 24-year-old Trenton man was
arrested Nov. 20 and charged with
DWI and other motor-vehicle of-
fenses after driving on a closed
road and nearly crashing into a
stopped police car. Police had
closed Route 206 between Route
518 and Cherry Valley Road for
the resurfacing of Route 206. Po-
lice cars were positioned along
Route 206 at Route 518, Benjamin
Boulevard and Cherry Valley
Road. At approximately 2:45 a.m.,
the man was traveling south-
bound on Route 206 when he
drove around a marked police car
with the overheads activated, and
ignored several signs and traffic
cones indicating the road was
closed at Route 518. Montgomery
police Det. Brian Hofacker at-
tempted to stop the man, but he
continued southbound. The detec-
tive radioed Lt. James Curry, who
was stationary at Benjamin
Boulevard with his emergency
warning lights on. Curry ob-
served the man coming up behind
him not slowing, and was forced
to put his vehicle in gear and ac-
celerate forward to prevent a
crash. The man did eventually
stop behind the police car. Offi-
cers Sles and Zizwarek arrived to
assist and the man was subse-
quently arrested for DWI and
transported to Montgomery Po-
lice headquarters. In addition to
DWI, he was also charged with
careless driving and failing to
obey the direction of a police offi-
cer.
A 32-year-old Blackwood man
was arrested on an outstanding
warrant out of Ocean Township,
Nov. 17 at 12:49 p.m.
Police said the man was
stopped for improper passing on
Route 206.
A check of his drivers license
revealed the warrant and that his
license was suspended.
He was issued summonses for
passing in a no-passing zone and
for driving while suspended.
He was released on bail, and is
scheduled to appear in municipal
court, police said.
tions for two years.
This tower has a visual im-
pact on residential street after
residential street after residential
street, she said, showing pic-
tures of a balloon test the compa-
ny conducted to show the approx-
imate height and visibility of the
tower from different locations in
the surrounding area. And this
is just at street level. Imagine how
it will be from the second floor of
somebodys house.
The company has claimed that
the tower is necessary in order to
achieve 99 percent reliability in
the area for potential 9-1-1 calls.
Blaine said that Federal Com-
munication Commission rules
allow companies to exclude coun-
ties or parts of counties in which
the 99 percent reliability could
not be achieved because of,
among other factors, heavy
forestation or inability to triangu-
late 9-1-1 emergency calls.
Blaine, who is a licensed real-
estate professional, also ques-
tioned the validity of the data
presented by the applicants ap-
praisal expert.
He took the average reduction
in a homes value [in a study in
Randolph] rather than each indi-
vidual home affected, she said.
You have to look at individual
sale prices.
She added that homes in those
studies, which she researched on
a Multiple Listing Service profes-
sional website, had amenities
that would have offset the reduc-
tion in value from a cell phone
tower being nearby.
We have spend two long years
spending our hard-earned money
and precious time to preserve our
neighborhood, she told board
members. Thats how important
this is to us.
Thornton Way resident Walt
Beadling told the board that
pretty much everybody in this
room is against this application,
but Drill said the board cannot
deny the variance based on whos
in favor and whos not.
We cant do this by a show of
hands, he said.
One resident who is in favor of
the application is Patrick
Petrozzini of Thornton Way.
I like trees, I like animals, I
like birds too, he said. A safe,
quiet neighborhood is great to me
and I dont feel a cell tower will
change that, and, in fact, might
even make it better.
Petrozzini said he works from
home, and depends on his cell
phone service, though he is not a
T-Mobile customer.
I wouldnt have bought my
house if I knew my cell phone
and wireless network wouldnt
work, he said. I would be able to
see it from my house and it does-
nt bother me at all.
What bothers Ursula Maklicki
of Berkeley Avenue is that she
will be directly adjacent to the
cell tower site, and never expect-
ed such a dramatic change to the
view that prompted her and her
husband to buy their home al-
most 24 years ago.
We enjoy the farmland, and
we knew some of that was going
to change, but we never expected
a cell tower to be visible from our
backyard, she said. I appreci-
ate, as a taxpayer, how you have
protected the zoning laws.
She and others, including
Franklin Drive resident Steven
Frisch, questioned the need for
the tower that they feel would be a
bigger detriment than benefit to
the neighborhood.
The zoning laws here when it
comes to telecommunications
towers and the like are crystal
clear, Frisch said. What has
never been made clear to me is
that there is a gap in coverage.
Bruce Pardo of Catskill Court
also testified that Ive heard no
compelling reason to put a cell
tower on this property.
Where is the discussion about
the precise benefits of this
tower? asked Starling Drive resi-
dent Eugene Barron, citing de-
creased property values, and
what he said would be a waste of
taxpayer dollars that have been
spent on bonds to preserve open
space.
How do you justify putting
such an eyesore near preserved
farmland and walking paths?
I think the costs of this vastly
outweigh the singular non-quan-
tifiable benefit [of improved cell
phone service] if one even ex-
ists, he said. I believe this appli-
cation should be denied.

Delgado named new
middle-school principal
The Montgomery Township
Board of Education has chosen
Cory Delgado, currently vice
principal at Montgomery High
School, to be the new principal of
the Montgomery Upper Middle
School.
Delgado replaces Bill Robbins,
who is retiring after 17 years as
the middle school principal.
Delgado has spent nearly all of
his 16-plus years in education in
Montgomery Schools.
He began his Montgomery ca-
reer as a health and physical edu-
cation teacher at Orchard Hill El-
ementary School for six years,
before teaching at Montgomery
High School for an additional six
years.
Delgado also served as the su-
pervisor of health/physical edu-
cation, K-12, before becoming a
high school vice principal in
2009.
During his time as a teacher,
Delgado also served as a golf,
baseball, football and girls
lacrosse coach.
On learning of his appoint-
ment, Delgado said: It is an
honor to be chosen to lead the
Montgomery Upper Middle
School, to inherit such a talented
staff and to serve our exception-
al students. I look forward to
joining the staff in helping the
students maintain their focus on
academic achievement, while
they navigate their challenging
adolescent years.
Superintendent Earl Kim com-
mented: Cory Delgado has
proven to be an educational
leader, skilled communicator
and master relationship builder
in his tenure in the Montgomery
Schools. I look for him to contin-
ue and extend the academic ex-
cellence and dedication to the
whole child that has been the
hallmark of the upper middle
school under Mr. Robbins
tenure.
A graduate of Rutgers Univer-
sity with a degree in exercise sci-
ence and physical education, Del-
gado has a masters degree in ed-
ucational leadership from Seton
Hall University.
He resides in Hillsborough
with his wife, Jennifer, and their
two sons, Joey and AJ.

in our opinion
O
dds are that at some point in
your life you placed a bet on a
sporting event. It might have
been a big-time wager while visiting
Vegas. It might have been an office
March Madness entry.
The point is, betting on sporting
events is a part of our culture, and try-
ing to prohibit it brings back memo-
ries of Prohibition.
New Jersey residents want the op-
portunity to bet on sports. Or at least
the opportunity to bet on them legally,
as they already are betting on sports.
They said so in this months general
election.
Problem is, New Jersey missed the
boat years ago when the door closed
on legalized sports betting. Now the
state faces a myriad of hoops to jump
through before residents can legally
bet on hoops action.
Or so thats what a lot of people
think. We think differently. We think
the Garden State will get sports bet-
ting sooner rather than later, and
heres why:
First, millions of dollars are on the
table. Dollars that are not being taxed
because the wagering is taking place
out of the U.S. or illegally.
Second, government needs money.
All governments need money.
Third, eventually the politicians are
going to put these two things together
and realize that legalized sports bet-
ting simply makes sense. And when
that finally happens things will move
quickly. A simple decision that the
1991 law banning sports betting in
most states is unconstitutional clears
the way.
Sports betting wont solve all of the
states woes. But it will generate addi-
tional revenue and give Atlantic City
casinos a shot in the arm. Lets flex
some political muscle and get this
done.
Sports wagering a good bet
Hurdles will be overcome in due time
Bet on it
Government needs money. Sports
betting generates money. Need we
say more?

SOPA, Corzine, cop cars and pot
Man charged

David Rosa, 26, of Perth Amboy, received

SOPA needs to be
stopped Now!
As an extreme, cant-live-without-it user
of the Internet, I get angry any time any-
one tries to police or patrol what I love so
much. The Internet is a magnificent place
where I can obtain or share whatever I
want with whomever I want wherever I
want (for the low monthly price of $59.99
per month). My loyalty to this free enter-
prise makes me almost blind to any stiff
that says the Internet needs to be regulated
in any fashion which is why I utterly,
and absolutely, hate everything about the

rently being debated in the House of Rep-

Legal medical pot may bloom
on Upper Freehold farmland
An isolated patch of farmland in Upper
Freehold could turn into a large and legal
medical marijuana growing operation, ac-
cording to The Times of Trenton.
A zoning application for a $2 million pot
facility on Rues Road has been submitted
by Breakwater Alternative Treatment Cen-
ter, one of six nonprofit organizations
given clearance by the state to sell pre-
scription ganja. The topic, predictably, is
dividing nearby residents in this rural
town.
The zoning application outlines plans
for two greenhouses totaling 14,760 square
feet to grow the herb. A 5,600-square-foot
farm building would be used for trim-
ming, drying, packaging, curing, process-
ing and the storing of medical cannabis
grown in the production facilities, the ap-
plication says.

Improvements to Cherry
Valley Road completed
Improvements to Cherry Val-
ley Road have been completed co-
operatively by the townships of
Princeton and Montgomery. The
1,800-foot long road project was
constructed by Integrated Con-
struction and Utilities of New
Jersey for $879,000. The project
was primarily funded through
$515,000 in NJDOT grants ob-
tained by the two municipalities,
with the remaining costs divided
equally.
Cherry Valley Road is a major
east-west connector roadway that
also is the border between Mont-
gomery and Princeton townships,
and between Somerset and Mer-
cer counties. The project recon-
structed and widened Cherry Val-
ley Road between Route 206 and
Billie Ellis Lane. The extension
of the underground drainage sys-
tem has eliminated the drainage
ditches along the road. Also com-
pleted is a pathway along the road
linking residential neighbor-
hoods to the west to the Route 206
retail and service district, as well
as Montgomery and Princeton
townships walkway systems to
the east of Route 206. These im-
provements will enhance safety,
traffic flow, pedestrian access and
provide wider lanes with shoul-
ders to accommodate bicycles.
Hillside Avenue was also re-
constructed in Princeton Town-
ship by the same contractor at a
cost to Princeton of $473,000.
Tax volunteers are needed
The Somerset County Office of
Volunteer Services is looking for
volunteers to provide free tax
counseling for the elderly.
Volunteers must be 18 or older.
Assistance is provided annual-
ly to seniors and disabled for fed-
eral and state income-tax returns
and for rebate programs.
The program is sponsored by
the AARP, the IRS and the Somer-
set County Office of Volunteer
Services.
Appointments will be sched-
uled Feb. 1 through April 15, at
convenient locations around the
county. Anyone wishing to volun-
teer as a tax counselor and re-
ceive training should call Laurie
Beckhorn at 908-704-6338.

Bowman named PGAs
Golf Teacher of the Year
Cherry Valley Country Clubs
Director of Golf Allan Bowman
was presented with the New Jer-
sey Professional Golf Associa-
tions Teacher of the Year award
at its eighth-annual Celebration of
Golf held Oct. 20 at Crestmont
Country Club. The Montgomery
resident is one of only two golf
professionals in the state to earn
both Teacher of the Year and Pro-
fessional of the Year honors from
the NJPGA.
According to Hugh Hurley,
president of Cherry Valleys
board of trustees, Allan is very
deserving of this award. Not only
is he a phenomenal teacher of the
game of golf, he has also served
both our members and the com-
munity at large with distinction
for more than 18 years. We could
not be more proud of him.
Bowman joined CVCC in 1993.
In addition to his responsibilities
as director of golf, he has served
on the NJPGA board, as well as
chairman of NJPGA Junior Golf.
Demonstrating his commit-
ment to golf, Bowman was a
founding member of the New Jer-
sey Golf Foundation and led its
first-ever fund-raising event, a
golf marathon that raised more
than $30,000. He also coordinates
CVCCs annual fund raiser for
breast cancer and prostate cancer
that raises more than $20,000 an-
nually.
Teacher of the Year is among
the most coveted and prestigious
awards that a golf professional
can receive in the state of New
Jersey, said Cherry Valleys gen-
eral manager Manny Gugliuzza.
It is a sign of appreciation for all
of Allans contributions to golfers
of all ages and abilities. Our mem-
bers both love and appreciate
Allan. To be recognized by his
peers is icing on the cake.
Allan has long been an advo-
cate for youth golf. He is responsi-
ble for CVCC hosting the Mont-
gomery High/Cherry Valley Invi-
tational Golf Tournament, as well
as hosting Montgomery High
Schools home matches.
He has developed golf pro-
grams for inner city youth, con-
ducted clinics for high school golf
coaches and acts as swing coach
for the Montgomery High School
golf team. He also has provided
free clinics for members of the
Girl Scouts and several other non-
profit organizations.
In the offseason, Bowman in-
vites his students to golf schools
in Daytona, Fla., which he con-
ducts with nationally renowned
golf instructor Craig Shankland.
Cherry Valley Country Club is
located minutes from downtown
Princeton and is a family club
that includes tennis, aquatics, din-
ing and social activities, as well as
a fitness center managed by The
Source Institute for Human Per-
formance.

EMS getting new jackets
Montgomery EMS is replac-
ing its 20-year-old jackets with
new, high-visibility ones. Our
members are called to work in
hazardous environments, re-
quiring high visibility 24 hours
a day in all types of weather,
Capt. Rob Giguere said. A re-
cent study showed that EMS
workers being struck by vehi-
cles was the third-highest cause
of fatalities, so its important to
stand out to oncoming vehicles.
Also we need to comply with
Federal regulations for visibili-
ty when working on a state road,
and these jackets meet those
standards.
Squad member Donna Henry
led the committee to investigate
replacing the squads jackets.
When we first priced the re-
placement jackets, we went to
the big online catalog stores
thinking they would get us the
best price. she said With the
prices we received, the only way
we could afford the jackets was
to spread out the purchase over
three years. We were pleasantly
surprised to find out that the
best price and service we re-
ceived came from a local mer-
chant.
When they heard what we
wanted to do, they gave us a very
competitive price and even
arranged for us to take delivery
of the first two years of jackets
in a single shipment and al-
lowed us to pay for half the jack-
ets now and the remainder next
year.
As a result of their competi-
tiveness, flexibility and support,
the squad was able to put more
jackets in service before winter
sets in. Unfortunately it still
leaves 21 jackets left to be pur-
chased in 2013. To outfit every-
one today, the squad still needs
an additional $4,600 in contribu-
tions.
We are neighbors helping
neighbors, Giguere said.
Anyone wishing to help the
squad purchase the remainder
of jackets needed now can mail
a donation to: Montgomery EMS
Jackets; PO Box 105, Belle
Mead, 08502. Alternatively, you
can visit www.mems47.org if you
prefer to contribute via PayPal
(use the donate button at the bot-
tom of the page).
Montgomery EMS is not affil-
iated with any hospital nor is it
a municipal entity. It is 100 per-
cent volunteer and does not bill
for itsr services. We rely solely
on our volunteers and the dona-
tions we receive.
