Elks to host annual
dinner fundraiser
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Montgomery Sun
On Sunday, April 15, The
Princeton Elks Youth Organiza-
tion, The Antlers, will be hosting
its Third-Annual Family Night of
Pasta dinner at the Princeton
Elks Lodge in Blawenburg from
5:30 to 8 p.m.
The dinner is in memory of
Michael R. Damato, a Mont-
gomery student and an active
member of The Antlers, who
suddenly died when he was only
12 from a rare form of cancer
that is undetectable and untreat-
able.
Shortly after Michaels unex-
pected death, his parents, Ken
and Karen, and younger brothers,
William and David, created The
Michael Robert Damato Memori-
al Foundation at the Princeton
Area Community Foundation in
his name.
The mission of the fund is
simple: to promote and perpetu-
ate the wonderful qualities of
Michaels character, Ken Dama-
to said. The fund will recognize
deserving students, provide aid to
families in need and support com-
munity endeavors that make this
world a better place, as Michael
did when we was with us.
Each year, The Memorial Foun-
dation grants two scholarships of
$2,300 each to one female and one
male graduate of Montgomery
High School, who meet the six
points of criteria.
The scholarship criteria in-
cludes academic excellence and
dedication to learning; leadership
potential; character and honor;
spirit, motivation, and compas-
sion for others; outstanding citi-
zenship and community service;
and extracurricular/athletic in-
volvement.
Each candidate is required to
submit an essay defining their ed-
ucational goals and commitment
to society while also answering
the question, How will you give
back and make a difference?
Three years ago, Damato com-
peted in the Elks National Hoop
Shoot competition for the Prince-
ton Elks Lodge of Montgomery.
He won the local and district
championships, recorded the top
scores for Central Jersey and was
destined to compete for the state
championship and progress on to
regional and national contests.
But that was unfortunately cut
Special to The Sun
Students at Orchard Hill and Village elementary schools recently took part in the Jump Rope for
Heart fundraiser for the American Heart Association. Students at Orchard Hill raised more than
$9,000 and students at Village raised more than $15,000. Here, students at Village School are
seen hula-hooping, one of numerous activities that took place at the event.
Circular delight for the AHA
GOP makes endorsements
The Montgomery Township
Republican Organization unani-
mously endorsed Township
Committeewoman Christine
Madrid and 13-year resident
Chris Sugden for the two seats
on the township committee that
will be contested this November.
Madrid and Sugden filed peti-
tions with the municipal clerk
and will run on the ballot under
the slogan Somerset County Re-
publican Organization, along
with the other county-endorsed
candidates.
The township is facing some
significant challenges right now,
and holding the line on property
taxes is my top priority, Madrid
said. Over the last few years,
our township committee re-
versed the trend of higher taxes,
over-spending and increased
debt. With the economy still
struggling, weve got to do every-
thing we can to control taxes
while protecting public health
and safety.
Montgomery is a great town
and Im really excited to bring
my expertise in financial man-
agement and economic develop-
ment to this campaign and,
hopefully, to the township com-
mittee, Sugden said. I invest in
and help small to mid-sized com-
panies implement solid planning
Special to The Sun
Seen here is the late Michael R.
Damato, a former Montgomery
student for whom the Antlers
are hosting a fundraiser.

Sunday, April 29th
1pm-3pm
Katie Laskey is a Montgomery
High School junior and ambassa-
dor Girl Scout. Shes currently
working on her Gold Award Proj-
ect for the Scouts to raise aware-
ness of world hunger issues in
the local community.
And to celebrate the communi-
tys progress and commitment to
fighting world hunger, Laskey
will host a Rice-a-Thon on Satur-
day, April 21, from noon to 3 p.m.
in the MHS commons.
Admission is free, but Katie re-
quests attendees bring a food
item for the Montgomery Food
Pantry.
Attendees will be able to play
FreeRice, a trivia game run by
the United Nations World Food
Programme (WFP) that donates
10 grains of rice each time a
player answers a question cor-
rectly.
Informational booths from
MHS clubs about different world
issues will also be available.
Snacks will be served and there
will be games suitable for young
children.
Katie also asks anyone who is
interested in using FreeRice to
create an account on freerice.com
and join her group, Monty NJ
Kids at freerice.com/content-
group/monty -nj-kids.
Despite what the title suggests,
you dont have to be a kid or
from Montgomery to join.
Additionally, FreeRice is com-
pletely free for users.
Katies says inspiration for her
project came from various
church and Girl Scout trips that
shed light on the problem of
hunger.
Some of the facts are astonish-
ing, she says.
There are about 925 million
hungry people in the world, a
number that is more than the
populations of the United States,
Canada and the European Union
combined.

Robert Church, director of the
Elks Lodge, described Damato as
a dedicated student, active sports-
man and music enthusiast.
Michael's effort and good-
hearted approach to the competi-
tion impressed many members of
the Elks community, so much that
he breathed life into the youth
programs at the Princeton
Lodge, Church said. As a result,
the Elks began to recognize the
top scorer within the district
hoop-shoot competition with the
Michael R. Damato Award.
The Elks will be presenting
awards to Nicholas Scapulla of
Bound Brook and Natalie Fella of
Flemington this year for their
performances in the hoop shoot
competition as top female shooter
and top male district champion,
which is in honor of Damato, who
was the top competitor in the
Hoop Shoot contest.
Damatos father, Ken, is an Elk.
He and his wife are actively in-
volved in community organiza-
tions and service activities.
"Many in the community
Elks members as well as family
friends, Michael's friends and
teammates felt that there should
be a time when we could gather
as families in Michaels memory,
a time when we could all share
and reflect on the importance of
spending family time together
and to appreciate the gift of shar-
ing our love with each other as a
family, Church said. The Elks
responded with the Family
Night of Pasta in Michael's mem-
ory.
Antonio Ruffa of Cafe Piazza
Restaurant in Hillsborough, the
Princeton Elks Lodge, as well as
other local organizations and
businesses will be donating food
for the dinner.
It will cost $12 for adults
and $6 for children younger than
6.
A portion of the proceeds will
be given to the Michael Robert
Damato Foundation.

6 THE MONTGOMERY SUN APRIL 11-17, 2012
in our opinion
W
hile virtually no one antici-
pates property values to
skyrocket anytime soon,
there are signs that the housing mar-
ket is beginning to get back on its feet.
Prices are up. Sales are solid. And
while foreclosures and short sales will
keep a lid on prices for some time, it
appears the market is moving in the
right direction. A report from The As-
sociated Press cited the National Asso-
ciation of Realtors point that Febru-
arys sales pace was the second high-
est since May 2010.
So what does that matter? Obviously
it matters a lot if youre buying or sell-
ing a home. But, even if youre not,
your homes value affects how you
handle your budget.
From a practical side, a higher
value might allow you to tap into your
homes equity. You might spend that
extra cash on home improvements, for
example, which helps to boost the
economy.
A homes value also has a psycho-
logical impact. Even though your
home might not be on the market,
there is a sense of security knowing
that you have your homes value to fall
back on if times get tough. That, in
turn, might prompt you to feel more
comfortable about buying new furni-
ture, taking a vacation, etc. Again, all
of these things help to spur the econo-
my.
To issue an all is well with the
housing market proclamation would
be premature. The aforementioned
distressed properties will continue to
be a burden. Credit is still tight. Inter-
est rates remain low, but could rise, sti-
fling a robust recovery.
But, hopefully, the days of watching
your homes value plummet are over,
or about over. The economy is showing
signs of growing albeit at a modest
pace. The reports indicate that more
people once again are looking at home
ownership as they feel better about
their employment status.
All of which is good news for home-
owners.
Home, sweeter home?
The numbers show that the real estate market might be stabilizing
Maybe the worst is over
Its not yet time to pronounce the
housing market as cured, but recent
reports indicate that it perhaps has
stabilized. Thats good news for both
homeowners and an economy that
continues to grow.

The 5K is a 500 point New Balance (NB)
New Jersey Grand Prix event.
The NB Grand Prix is a prestigious se-
ries of races of various lengths held
throughout New Jersey.
Grand Prix events are selected by the
New Jersey Section of the USA Track and
Field organization (USATF-NJ) and are
based on strict criteria. Events attract top
quality runners from throughout the state
as well as local athletes.
Runners do not need to compete in the
Grand Prix to enter.
Participants at all levels are welcome
and many recreational runners enjoy the
5K distance. First-time participants are es-
pecially encouraged to join in this race,
which continues to be a classic spring
event on the race calendar of serious and
recreational Central Jersey runners and
walkers.
The courses length has been certified
and officially sanctioned by the USATF-NJ.
The route is walker-friendly, meaning
that all types of walkers, including race-
walkers, are welcome.
The 1-mile Ramble/Fun walk is for peo-
ple of all ages and abilities. It provides an
excellent opportunity to get some exercise
while participating in a worthwhile com-
munity event for a good cause.
Ramblers" will enjoy spring-time weath-
er on the flat course past a sampling of
Montgomery Township's beautiful homes
and woods. Rambler teams are encouraged
to compete for any of three special awards
for Most Spirited, Best Dressed, and
Ramble Recruiting Champs.
The RUN WITH ROTARY is presented
this year by Mason Griffin & Pierson,
Princeton Orthopaedic Associates, Brad
Benson Hyundai and The Martin Rizzo
Group at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
Their thoughtful and generous sponsor-
ships represent a powerful commitment to
this charitable event.
All pre-registered participants will re-
ceive a quality T-shirt and goodie bag.
Awards will be given to the first three
overall 5K women and men who finish.
The Montgomery-Rocky Hill Resident,
award category will be offered for the first
female and male Montgomery Township or
Rocky Hill Borough resident 5K finishers.
Numerous other awards will be given.

sor, log on to www.runwithrotary.org.

On Saturday, April 28 from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m., Montgomery Town-
ship and the Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) will give
the public another opportunity to
prevent pill abuse and theft by
ridding homes of potentially dan-
gerous expired, unused, or un-
wanted prescription drugs.
Bring your medications for
safe disposal to Montgomery
Township Police headquarters
lobby at 2216 Route 206 Belle
Mead.
The service is free and anony-
mous, no questions asked.
If citizens have any questions
concerning the program, contact
Sgt. Thomas Frascella at (908)
533-9194 or by email at tfrascel-
la@police.montgomery.nj.us.
Americans who participated in
the DEAs take back in October
turned in more than 377,086
pounds (188.5 tons) of unwanted
or expired medications for safe
and proper disposal at 5,327 take-
back sites in all 50 states and U.S.
territories.
The amount of prescription
drugs turned in by the American
public during the past three take-
back day events speaks volumes
about the need to develop a con-
venient way to rid homes of un-
wanted or expired prescription
drugs, said DEA Administrator
Michele M. Leonhart.
With the continued support
and hard work of our more than
3,945 state, local and tribal law en-
forcement and community part-
ners, these three events have dra-
matically reduced the risk of pre-
scription drug diversion and
abuse, and increased awareness
of this critical public health
issue.

The Montgomery Friends of
Open Space Board of Trustees
and Advisers held its annual
board meeting in March and
marked its 10th year of preserv-
ing farmland, forests and sustain-
able farming through operating
the seasonal farmers market.
Officers were re-elected to the
all-volunteer board, and planning
began for a nature walk, and
spring celebration.
Montgomery Township resi-
dents Maxine Baicker and Elise
Murray were re-elected to three-
year terms on the non-profit land
conservancy that works with
landowners in all corners of the
township.
Both women are also extremely
active volunteers who oversee the
weekly Saturday morning buy
local market tables offering for
sale fresh from the oven artisanal
bread made at Witherspoon
Bread Company in Princeton and
fresh-picked vegetables form Or-
chard Farm Organics on Cherry
Hill Road.
Each Saturday throughout the
summer and fall in all types of
weather Elise and Maxine con-
tribute their time to all our regu-
lar patrons who buy their pro-
duce and bread from the stands.
They live here and believe in sup-
porting the buy local concept for
the betterment of our communi-
ty. They are really terrific mem-
bers of our board who offer so
much to our organization and our
community, said Mary Penney,
president of Montgomery
Friends of Open Space.
The board formed a 10th An-
niversary Committee in January
to plan various outdoor events to
bring residents outside to enjoy
the preserved land. There are
several parks with newer trails
people may not know about.
One goal of the organization is
to provide and support steward-
ship of the land that is preserved.
With the mild spring weather,
families are encouraged to ex-
plore our lovely parks.
Visit www.montgomery.nj.us/
depts/recreation/pathways.asp
for maps and directions.
On Saturday, May 5, at 10 a.m.,
the group is sponsoring Seeing
Nature through Photography, at
Montgomery Park, open to youth
10 and older along with a parent.
Frank Veronsky, a professional
photographer, will provide advice

elements in nature.
The hike is free, but pre-regis-
tration is recommended. In addi-
tion, on Sunday, May 20, Mont-
gomery Friends of Open Space
will hold a 10th anniversary cele-
bration at Manor Brook Farm,

home built in Somerset County.
