In addition to the historicvalue of the 1700s farmstead, this138.7-acre preservation contractprotects the Howell Living Histo-ry Farm viewshed and the area’shistoric and natural amenities.As part of the deal, the countywill own the remaining land adja-cent to the 1,132-acre BaldpateMountain and Ted Stiles Pre-
serve, where it will expand the ex-
isting trail system, creating a cir-cular trail that will also include aviewshed of the Pleasant ValleyHistoric District.
“This purchase offered aunique opportunity to partnerwith Hopewell Township anddovetail their goal of preservingthese historic structures and thecounty’s goal of preserving theview and enhancing our trail net-work,” Hughes said.
Under the terms of the deal,Mercer County contributed $1.9million and Hopewell Townshipno more than $400,000 based onthe Green Acres certified value of
$15,000 per acre, according to the

Fourth-grade Webelo’s Cub Scouts from Pennington Pack 44 held a winter coat drive to benefit Home-Front. Toll Gate Grammar, local churches and generous members of the community donated well morethan 100 coats. The boys made sure that people knew they would accept all winter gear. So along withthe many bags of coats, they had several bags of hats, scarves, boots, gloves and snow pants. The boysgathered the donated winter gear, packed it all up, like Santa’s helpers, and delivered it all to HomeFront.Through the generosity of the community, the Scouts were able to provide a bit of winter warmth toneighbors.

verall, New Jersey’s schools
are excellent. That’s not in
question. A recent study
ranked New Jersey second in the na-
tion in student achievement and
chance for success.
That’s impressive.
The Garden State ranked second on
The Quality Counts report, which the
publisher of “Education Week” con-
ducts. Only Massachusetts ranked
higher than New Jersey in the Chance
for Success Index, which measures the
role of education in an individual’s
life.
The state’s B+ grade was much high-
er than the national average of C+, and
also bested the grade for nearby states
Maryland (B), Pennsylvania (B),
Delaware (B-) and New York (B-).
Yay for us.
With every positive seems to come a
negative, though, or, in this case, an
area in need of improvement.
The same Quality Counts report
ranked New Jersey below average in
the categories of standards, assess-
ments and accountability (C – 44th
overall) and teaching profession (D+ -
38th).
It has been widely reported, both
here and elsewhere, that our school
districts are actively working to im-
prove their accountability and assess-ments, so let’s leave that one alone for
now. The concerning aspect of this
study is, without a doubt, the teaching
profession.
According to the report, New Jersey
has “no incentives for teachers or prin-
cipals working in hard-to-staff disci-
plines or schools, no salary parity with
other occupations, and no financial in-
centives for teachers to earn national
certifications.”
This needs to change.
As we wrote some time ago, our stu-
dents and, therefore, our schools are
only as good as the teachers and ad-
ministrators we hire; ergo, we need to
ensure that our teachers and adminis-
trators are not only well qualified at
the time of hiring but are also incen-
tivized to grow professionally within
our system as well.
Our schools are great now, but let’s
make sure they continue to be great.
Let’s find a way to incentivize our
teachers and administrators to work in
difficult subjects, in difficult schools
and earn bigger and better certifica-
tions.
Our students are the ones who will
benefit the most.
in our opinion
Let’s do more for our teachersOur schools are good, there’s no doubt, but let’s mak e them even better
Your thoughts
What are your thoughts on the state ofour schools? Do you believe incentivizingteachers and administrators to grow asprofessionals is worth the return oninvestment? Let your thoughts be heardthrough a letter to the editor.
degree in law and justice from TrentonState College. Maloney is a 20-year veteranof the Hopewell Police Department, begin-ning his career in January 1994, andthroughout his time, he has witnessed alevel of excellent service to the town thathe remains proud of and ready to uphold.
Maloney is the township’s fifth full-time
chief of police and previously served inthe department under Meyer’s directionfor two decades. Maloney feels fortunate tolead the department.
“Retiring Chief George Meyer ran avery efficient police department, and I
hope to maintain that,” Maloney said. “I donot see the need for too many hugechanges. I really hope to maintain the goodrelations that we have established with thecommunity.”
The new chief explained that HopewellPolice Department focuses heavily on itscommitment to service, and he is strivingto keep that a top priority.
Meyer dedicated 38 years to theHopewell Police Department, and it is clearthat his time spent as chief has left a re-sounding positive impression with his
staff, and a legacy Maloney is excited aboutmaintaining. Hopewell Township has ahistorically tight-knit relationship withthe police department, and with Maloneyat the forefront, residents can expect to feel
just as valued and dutifully served as years
past, he said.Although he feels he inherited a primed
department, Maloney feels the ability toprovide effective training is important.
“Over the past 20 years, I have seenHopewell constantly make an effort to in-crease the amount and types of trainingbased on the many different aspects of the
job,” Maloney said.Maloney is currently head of 28 police
officers, with a new officer scheduled to besworn in on Jan. 27. Maloney expects tohave plenty of future opportunities to in-
still Hopewell Police Department’s valuesin each new addition to the team.
Adding to the changes of the new year,an upcoming internal promotion willallow a new lieutenant to fill Maloney’sprevious position.
