The Stony Brook-
Millstone Watershed
Association is in the
midst of bringing
Hopewell Valley resi-
dents three award-
winning environ-
mental films at the
Pennington Public
Library. The Water-
shed Film Festival
screened its opening
feature, A River
Changes Course, a
Sundance World Cin-
ema Grand Jury Prize
winner, on March 9.
The film tells the story
of three Cambodian
families struggling to
maintain their tradition-
al lives as rapid develop-
ment forces them to make
hard choices about their
future.
Next up, on March 16
at 3 p.m. is A Thirsty
World, a film about the
most precious natural
resource on the planet.
A Thirsty World was
filmed in about 20 dif-
ferent countries and
reveals the world of
fresh water through
sensational aerial
images.
The festival will wrap up with
The Last Ocean, a film about
the Ross Sea in
Antarctica. The film
six awards at vari-
ous festivals this
year. The pristine
section of ocean is
largely untouched
by humans until an
international fish-
ing fleet encroaches
upon the Ross Sea
and threatens the
unique ecosystem.
Pennington Pub-
lic Library director
Kim Ha explained
the decision process in
the selection of each
film and the order in
which they are being
screened.
A River Changes
Course is a perfect
example of a micro-
cosm of many is-
sues, and then A
Thirsty World
pulls viewers back and
they see a bigger view
of what is going on in
the world. Then, The
Last Ocean is a great
closing film because
there is a little bit of a
call to action, Ha said.

The following are reported
from the Hopewell Township Po-
lice Department.
On Feb. 20 at 2:27 a.m. an offi-
cer observed a Hyundai Sonata
travelling northbound on Route
31. The vehicle sounded as
though it had no working muffler
on it. The officer stopped the vehi-
cle for the violation and found the
driver, a 25-year-old male from
Ewing, had a suspended license
and an outstanding motor vehicle
warrant for his arrest from How-
ell Township. The suspect was
placed under arrest and trans-
ported to police headquarters
where he was processed and post-
ed bail for the warrant. He was is-
sued summons for the loud muf-
fler and driving with a suspended
license.
On Feb. 20, Officer Toth ob-
served an Acura Sedan travelling
in excess of the posted speed limit
on Pennington Titusville Road.
He then attempted to stop the ve-
hicle, and the driver attempted to
evade him by increasing his
speed and turning down several
side streets. Toth eventually got
the driver to stop the vehicle on
Michael Way. After speaking
with the driver, a 17-year-old male
from Hopewell Township, he was
placed under arrest and charged
with eluding in a motor vehicle
and several motor vehicle viola-
tions. The juvenile was processed
and released to his parents. His
case will be heard in family court.
On Feb. 21, based on an investi-
gation conducted by Officer
Nicholas Sparaco, a 21-year-old of
Randall Avenue, Trenton, was
charged with theft and forgery.
She had been employed as a care-
giver for an elderly township resi-
dent for an extended period of
time. During the course of her
employment, she stole several
checks from the victim and
forged his signature to cash them.
The total value stolen was $2,290.
The suspect was arrested at po-
lice headquarters and released
after being processed. The case
will be forwarded to the Mercer
County Prosecutors Office.
On Feb. 22, at 5:15 a.m., Officer
Voorhees was detailed to a one-
car accident on Blackwell Road.
Upon arrival he found the driver
of the vehicle, a 22-year-old from
Titusville, to be under the influ-
ence of alcohol and impaired.
Further investigation found her
to be in possession of a small
amount of marijuana and a pipe
commonly used for smoking mar-
ijuana. She was placed under ar-
rest and transported to police
headquarters. She was processed
and released, and her case will be
heard in Municipal Court.
On Feb. 23, an officer respond-
ed to the area of Route 31 south of
Delaware Avenue on the report of
a motorist stopped in his vehicle
and sleeping in the lane of travel.
When the officer arrived, the ve-
hicle had gone, and a witness
gave the officer a description of
the car and the license plate num-
ber. The witness told the officer
the vehicle had continued south
on Route 31. The officer located
the vehicle at the intersection of
Route 31 and Interstate 95 and
was able to stop the vehicle.
While speaking with the driver, a
24-year-old male of Greenfield,
Mass., the officer could smell the
odor of marijuana coming from
the car and the driver. Further in-
vestigation led to the arrest of the
male and the recovery of a small
amount of marijuana and a pipe
that was used for smoking the
marijuana. He was processed and
released. His case will be heard in
Municipal Court.
On Feb. 26, at 2:30 p.m. Det.
Frank Tulko charged a 23-year-
old male from Trenton with the
theft of a cellphone. The suspect
was employed at the Stop and
Shop on Denow Road at the time
of the theft. The victim had acci-
dently left his iPhone on a check-
out counter while shopping. A
cashier found the phone and
turned it into lost and found at
the service counter. The suspect
then took the phone from the lost
and found. The suspect was
charged with theft of an item in
excess of $250. His case was for-
warded to the Mercer County
Prosecutors Office. The phone
was recovered and returned to
the victim.

E
ver since the school shooting
in Newtown, Conn., in Decem-
ber 2012, school districts across
the country have done their best to im-
prove school security.
Some have hired armed guards to
stand watch in school buildings. Some
have improved security systems, lock-
ing all exterior doors and filtering visi-
tors through one main entrance. Some
have installed metal detectors and
other screening devices. Some have
done all this, and more.
New Jersey officials recognize the
need for increased school security, and
they want to do something about it
or, at least, they want to study what to
do about it.
The state Senate and Assembly re-
cently established a School Security
Task Force that will ultimately give
recommendations on how to improve
school security and safety. The group
will also make recommendations on
building security and assessment
standards for current school buildings
and new ones to come.
Some of the areas of focus they will
study:
Placing screening systems at
school entrances
Using biometric, retina or other
advanced recognition
Stationing police officers in each
school building
Requiring advanced student and
visitor identification
Conducting an official study on
school security with a panel of indus-
try experts is a tremendous, and long
overdue, idea. Just like with student
testing and budgeting requirements,
its a good idea to have a standardized
system for security at schools through-
out New Jersey.
But this begs the question: How will
we pay for whatever this task force
recommends?
Lets say, for example, the task force
recommends a biometric, retina or
other advanced recognition system
for visitors entering school buildings,
and our state government then passes
that bill. How are our already-cash-
strapped school districts going to pay
for what sounds like an expensive sys-
tem?
Studying school security on a
statewide level is a great first step.
Making recommendations on how to
improve security is a natural second
step. But a necessary third step must
be how any required security en-
hancements will be paid for, and by
whom. In an age when schools are hav-
ing trouble paying for teachers, its
hard to imagine biometrics being easy
to fit into the budget.
in our opinion
Tighter school security
Safer is always better, but whos going to pay for it?
Your thoughts
Do our schools need tighter security?
Should state government play a role in
telling school districts what they must do
in regard to school security? Share your
thoughts through a letter to the editor.

10 THE HOPEWELL SUN MARCH 1218, 2014
library was founded as Hopewell
National Bank on March 17, 1890.
Since then, the library has under-
gone many changes, but it has re-
tained its reputation as a friend-
ly library, according to Connie
Dixon, a library staff member.
In 2009, Hopewell Public Li-
brary became automated with
bar-coded library cards and bar-
coded book labels. The online cat-
alog replaced the physical card
catalog and patrons were able to
search for materials from the li-
brary and from home. HPL was
one of the last New Jersey public
libraries to automate, but it has
been one of the first to implement
an open source integrated li-
brary system.
Looking to the future, HPL
hopes to continue to improve and
expand its offerings to the public.
The Hopewell Public Library
was community-driven and it still
is. We do what we can; we are so
small so we cannot do too many
things inside the library. But we
are a very friendly library. You
cannot come in without being no-
ticed or talked to. We really get to
know our patrons, Dixon said.
She added that since the space
is small, and there are always
conversations going on between
patrons and staff members, it is
not exactly a quiet library.
The most popular programs
are childrens story time on Mon-
day mornings and the once-per-
month Wednesday Night Out.
Typically held at the train sta-
tion, the library holds special
events for community members
with varying themes.
Ive lived here for over 30
years, and there is an eclectic mix
of people, which is my favorite
part. Some have lived here for
generations and some are new
families, but I get to talk to all the
interesting people that come
through and I feel very connected
to the town, Dixon said.

Library looks to future
MARCH 1218, 2014 THE HOPEWELL SUN 11
be about water, but to also be var-
ied, Ha said.
Ha collaborated with members
of the Stony Brook-Millstone Wa-
tershed Association to select the
films.
The film festival is free and is
just one of the many upcoming
eco-centric activities at the Pen-
nington Public Library. This is
the librarys second time partner-
ing with the Watershed Associa-
tion, and in May, they will collabo-
rate to host the program How
clean is my stream? in which
residents are able to take a guided
tour with a naturalist and con-
duct health tests on a local
stream.
This is a very, very important
topic, obviously, and the library is
always interested in working
with the community and raising
awareness about these environ-
mental issues. We work very hard
to educate the public and provide
a forum for our community mem-
bers to discuss things they are
learning, Ha said.
Leanne Hunt, The Stony
Brook-Millstone Watershed Asso-
ciations communications manag-
er, explained that many people do
not understand that water is a
limited resource, and a goal of
the film festival is to leave view-
ers with that impression.
I think that most people in the
world dont realize how much of a
resource water is and how its a
limited resource that needs to be
protected. They dont give much
thought that water is coming from
our local streams, Hunt said.
Hunt shared her hopes to
screen the next Watershed Film
Festival at the Watersheds new
environmental center that is cur-
rently under construction.
The new environmental cen-
ter will have many high-tech re-
sources for people to take advan-
tage of. We hope for it to become a
center for people to gather and
learn, Hunt said.
