BY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

On July 5, the Recreation Foundationof Hopewell Valley held a ground-break-ing ceremony for the new turf field that isin its beginning stages of construction atHopewell Valley Central High School(CHS).

Trustee of the Recreation FoundationSheryl Stone hosted the event, whichdrew about 75 people, including all of thesupporters who helped raise almost $1

million to fund this community-basedproject.

I know for a number of years theresbeen some discussion about having a turffield, Principal of Hopewell Valley CHSMike Daher said. Probably everyonehere, at one time or another, it crossedyour mind that it was never going to hap-pen, including me. And, I know we allprobably thought that except for SherylStone; she probably never thought that

Hopewell Townships Commit-tee held a special meeting on July16 to talk about its future plansfor sewer capacity at the afford-able housing units located off ofDenow Road The Hamptons inPennington.

Originally, the Ewing-Lawrence Sewerage Authority(ELSA) was to provide capacity to

the 19-unit residential unit at arate of $45 per gallon for a maxi-mum of 267,000 gallons per day.

However, in May, the residentsof Hopewell voted down the $4.1

bond ordinance to approve themove, which would have raisedtaxes.

Now, the township is trying tofigure out whats next.

There were many suggestionsthat were given at the meeting, in-cluding alternative wastewatertechnology sources.

Although Mayor MichaelMarkulec mentioned creating apackage plant on a piece ofHopewell Townships useable

land or installing sewer lines,members of local environmentalorganizations and of the publicsuggested otherwise.

Executive Director of the

Stony Brook-Millstone WatershedAssociation Jim Waltman intro-duced the idea of alternativetechnology sources that havebeen implemented and executedin various other areas to conserveenergy and resources. He specifi-cally noted how Hopewell Town-ship could create an artificial wet-land, which is better and more en-vironmentally-friendly thanbringing in sewer lines.

There are basically three

steps in the treatment, he said.The first two steps have a linerso that theres no water thats per-colating down into the aquifer,and beyond that liner, you have a

layer of gravel and soil throughwhich wetland plants are grow-ing. You move the water throughthe liner and the wetland plantsand roots, and the microbes thatgrow on plants and in root zoneactually treat the wastewater. Thelast stage, where the remainingwater that should be cleaner thanwhat comes out of a normal sep-tic system, is where that waterpercolates down through and intothe aquifer.

Chief Executive Officer of Nat-ural Systems Utilities Ed Clericoalso spoke about his company

Megans Law was, if anything,

an extremely forward-think-

ing way of ensuring that

convicted sex offenders were easily

identifiable wherever they might live

after spending time locked away. Now,

if one state senator has his way, sex of-

fenders would not only have to registertheir residential locations, theyd also

be required to identify themselves as

convicted sex offenders on social-

media websites such as Facebook.

We applaud this bill, and hope it ulti-

mately winds up on the governors

desk to be signed into law.

In addition to having to publicly dis-

close sex-offense convictions, the bill,

sponsored by state Sen. Kip Bateman,

R-Somerset, would also require offend-

ers to list, on their public profiles,

home addresses, where crimes tookplace and a self description.

While there will be some who say a

bill such as this one goes too far and

is an invasion of privacy we believe

its for the best.

Far too often, we hear stories of sex-

ual predators who use the Internet to

prey on the vulnerabilities of young

people.A few years ago, the Dateline NBC

specials To Catch a Predator re-

vealed just how many people used the

Internet to set up what they believed

were trysts with young people.

The penalties for failing to comply

with the proposed law are swift, as

well. A sex offender caught with a pub-

lic profile that doesnt identify a

Megans Law status would carry with

it a potential fine of $10,000 and up to ayear-and-a-half in prison.

A similar law was adopted in

Louisiana recently.

We commend Bateman for propos-

ing this bill. And we hope other states

take notice and enact similar legisla-

tion. There is no doubt that by having a

law such as this one on the books, pred-

ators will think twice about preying

upon the young.

And the children of our state will be

that much safer because of it.

in our opinion

Taking Megans Law to FacebookState Senate bill would require sex offenders to self-ID on social-networking sites

Is the proposed lawtoo invasive?

A bill proposed by state Sen. KipBateman, R-Somerset, would requireconvicted sex offenders to identifythemselves, as such, on social-network-ing websites. Would such a law be fair?

and its projects, and how hesworked with several towns inNew Jersey and other states tohelp them find ways to imple-ment alternative resource man-agement.

Clerico mentioned several al-ternative approaches to creatinga sewerage infrastructure for The

Hamptons, which included dis-tributed and soft path ap-proaches, groundwater rechargeand natural systems.

The distributed approach en-tails spreading out water accord-ing to the development of thecommunity to easily manage it,keeping with what nature wouldtypically do, as opposed to gather-ing it in one place.

One of the soft path ap-proaches was using wetlands,which Clerico explained. You can

create an artificial wetland,which uses a liner so that thewater passes through the stonesand roots and is treated by natu-ral microbiology.

Essentially, when you see one,you think youre going to be walk-ing upon a wetland, but then itsdry, he said. But, down under-neath is where the water is con-tained to support the vegetativegrowth.

Clerico further explained that

the depth varies with each site,because of the different soils thateach plot of land in New Jerseyhouses, but theyre usually fourto five feet deep.

The practice of groundwaterrecharge involves ground water water below plants roots beingrecharged through a routed sys-tem so it essentially mimics na-tures water cycle.

Lastly, Clerico explained a nat-ural system, which is more cost-effective than building another

infrastructure or installing sewerlines.

The cost is about the same orcomparable with a packageplant, he said. Using a naturalsystem might not cost less at the

outset, but it costs much less over

the life cycle of the system be-cause its using much less energyand much less labor to maintain.

Overall, Clerico volunteered towork with Hopewell in devising aplan, and suggested that it lookinto one of these methods. He ex-plained how there are alternativemeans of funding systems likethese, and how they last for near-ly 50 years.

Leader of Citizens for TaxChoice the group that petitioned

against the ELSA referendumand ultimately defeated it Robert Kecskes added to Clericoscomments and stated how thereare plenty of alternatives op-posed to using ELSA.

I think that some people onthe committee may have it nar-rowed down to ELSA or wet-lands, he said. I would say lookat it further and a bit deeper. But,here are some types of optionsthat you may want to think aboutincluding spray irrigation. There

are people out there who are pay-ing $5 for 1,000 gallons to spraywater, and it only costs $8 to treatwater. Maybe you could sell someof this water to people. Theresalso using gray water systems.Let some of these neighborhoodscontinue to use their septic sys-tems for gray water, and send thedark water to wetlands or sprayirrigation. If youre going torecharge the wetlands, you may

not need to bring in other water

now. So, 25 to 30 percent of thatcost could be offset.

After much discussion aboutthe alternatives, Markulec sug-gested forming a working groupof experts to research all of thealternatives, and provide the com-munity and committee memberswith more extensive information.Committee members and the resi-dents attending all agreed, andconcluded that it should containsome members of the Affordable

Housing Committee, PlanningBoard, the Green Team, Environ-mental Commission, professionalconsultants, and other local busi-ness experts such as Waltmanand Clerico.

The group, which will beknown as the Wastewater Alter-native Group (WAG) at the sug-gestion of Committee memberVanessa Sandom, will consist ofeight to 12 people. According toMarkulec, they will be given 90days an accelerated timeline

to devise an analysis and presentit to the committee and public forreview.

From my perspective, this isgoing to be a process, Markulecsaid. Were going to get to a partwhere were going to have diffi-cult discussions. I dont thinkweve solved anything heretonight, but hopefully weve takenthe first couple steps in the rightdirection toward the solution.

even for a second. But if you looknot that far behind me, its trulyhappening.

Although the construction ofthe field has already begun, thepurpose of the ceremony was toformally recognize the strenuousefforts of all of the parties in-volved in this project over the lastyear.

At the fields site, Stone organ-ized a grand scenario for a

groundbreaking ceremony, whichincluded a two-foot golden bull-dog statue (the mascot ofHopewell Valley CHS), a tablewith all of the information re-garding the field, a proposed lay-out and picture of what the fieldis expected to look like, and apodium for donor speeches.

This is so exciting, she said.When we were preparing the in-vitation for this afternoons cele-

bration, my instinct was to in-clude a line that said, Bring yourshovel, because I know we wouldnot be here today without each

one of you.By each one you, Stone is re-

ferring to over 40 more than busi-nesses, organizations and individ-uals that helped either raisefunds or donate materials andtime to make this community-wide venture possible.

To honor these dignitaries,Stone had a selection ofHopewells student athletes ac-companied by four golden shovelsto symbolize each of the major

contributors. Each of the shovelsrepresented the Recreation Foun-dation, the Hopewell Valley Re-gional School District, major fi-nancial contributors and in-kindcontributors.

Representatives from theRecreation Foundation includedPresident of the Hopewell ValleySoccer Association Brian Barrand President of Hopewell ValleyLacrosse Steve Faber, whose or-

ganizations collectively con-tributed $250,000.

Representatives from theHopewell Valley Regional School

District and the Hopewell Town-ship Committee included Super-intendent Dr. Thomas Smith,President of the Board of Educa-tion Lisa Wolff, Hopewell Town-ship Mayor Michael Markulec,Committee member Allen Can-non and Township Administratorand Engineer Paul Pogorzelski.

The major financial contribu-tors included owner of The FrontPorch Chris Murphy, Chairmanof the Hopewell Valley Communi-

ty Bank Pat Ryan, and PresidentJim Hyman, who each donated$25,000. The donations will be per-manently recognized on thefield.

The in-kind contributors,which represent more than$600,000 of the $1 million raised,included Secretary/Treasurer ofTrap Rock Industries GeorgeConway, who donated $140,000 ofstone and paving materials; Presi-

dent and CEO of IEW Construc-tion Group Chip Grundy; andowner of Ackerson Contracting,Inc. Mike Ackerson, who is the

general contractor that is essen-tially making this field come tolife, and who is also donatingmore than $400,000 of time, equip-ment, energy and expertise.

Whatever problems or chal-lenges crop up, Mike seems to beable to find a solution by makinga call or just taking on more workhimself, Stone said. With thetownships support, Mike is ableto work his regular job from 7a.m. until 3 p.m., and then come

and work here until 9 p.m. and allweekend.Aside from the donations that

were already collected, RobertColeman from the Hopewell Val-ley CHS GridIron Club also pre-sented a $25,000 donation check toStone and the Recreation Founda-tion at the ceremony.

We made a pledge about ayear ago for this, because wethink its a great opportunity forall sports, Coleman said. We re-ally wanted to thank the commu-

nity who really supports us in allof our fundraising, attending thegames, buying our concessions

and everything we do.Stone also explained that the

Recreation Foundation is within$20,000 of the $1 million it set out

to raise in June 2011.With continued community

support and your enthusiasm andendorsement, we hope to com-plete this phase of fundraising bythe time our field is complete, andIm sure that will happen, shesaid.

Stone noted how this projectwouldnt have been possible with-out the help of every individualinvolved.

It has just all come together

like a puzzle, really, she said.We couldnt have done it withouteach piece happening, so its real-ly a true community project.

Since Ackersons predictedcompletion date is Sept. 8, just intime for the first sports game ofthe season, the turf for the fieldshould be arriving between Aug.13 and 20.

This is a Cadillac turf, repre-sentative from AstroTurf DanDriscoll said. We do not do thisprogram to put down an economi-

cal turf. This turf is the premierproduct in the industry, and thatswhat you guys paid for.
