    Operation ShoeboxNJ assembles care

    packages for troopsBY HEATHER FIORE

    The Montgomery Sun

    On Friday, May 10, senior citi-zens and Johnson & Johnson em-ployees from Montgomery Town-ship gathered at the Otto Kauf-man Community Center to as-semble care packages for Opera-tion Shoebox New Jersey.

    Operation Shoebox NJ is anall-volunteer, non-profit organiza-tion dedicated to collecting donat-ed supplies and shipping carepackages to U.S. troops who arestationed overseas in countriessuch as Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Back in January, Rod Hirsch,founder of Operation ShoeboxNJ, came to the Otto KaufmanCommunity Center to give a pres-entation about the organization.At that event, Denise Crowley,

    community resource manager atthe center, suggested Hirsch andthe organization hold a packingevent for the seniors, which tookplace on May 10.

    Its really a great program,and they [seniors] love to do com-munity stuff like this, Crowleysaid.

    Crowley also invited employ-ees from Johnson & JohnsonsSkillman campus, who donated a

    variety of supplies (Neutrogena,Clean and Clear and Aveenoproducts) and assisted in assem-bling the packages.

    Each care package consists ofa one-gallon plastic bag full oftoiletries (lip balm, moist wipes,eye drops, sunblock, shampoo,body wash, etc.); a one-gallon bagfull of food items (chips, granolabars, fruit snacks, crackers, etc.);two big bags of assorted candy(Reeses, M&Ms, Hershey bars,etc.); a Beanie Baby; one or twoboxes of Girl Scout cookies; apersonal letter from Hirsch; anda Hero Card, a wallet-sizedcard distributed to local studentswho color them in and write a lit-tle note to the soldier.

    Each package costs around $25to ship overseas, funds for whichOperation Shoebox NJ is con-stantly seeking.

    It costs me between $6,000 and$8,000 just to ship the packageseach month, Hirsch said.

    The Rotary Club of Mont-gomery/Rocky Hill donated $300to cover the shipping costs of thepackages, and the center raisedanother $100.

    At the event, 60 care packageswere put together and more than

    Hopewells Off-Broadstreet The-atre as it prepares to open thedrama Violet Sharp on May 24for a five weekend run. While pro-ducers Bob and Julie Thick al-ways select plays they think the

    audience will enjoy, this excitingproduction is of special interestto those in Hopewell and the sur-rounding area.

    Violet Sharp tells the story ofa young domestic who worked atthe Morrow house during the in-famous 1932 Lindbergh kidnap-ping. The infant son of the fa-mous pilot Charles Lucky Lind-bergh and Anne Morrow Lind-

    berg was kidnapped from his bedwhile sleeping in their Hopewellhouse. A ransom was paid, butthe kidnappers did not return theprecious baby. Violet Sharp be-came a person of interest whenher stories didnt add up; she had

    originally lied to the police as toher whereabouts on that fatefulnight. Although a conviction wasreached for this heinous crime, tothis day there are many who stillquestion if the police discoveredthe truth.

    Artistic Director Robert Thickhas cast a very seasoned ensem-ble for Violet Sharp. People

    EDITOR EMERITUS Alan Bauer

    Three years ago, back in 2010,

    Gov. Christie won a political

    battle, enacting a 2 percent cap

    on municipal tax levies. The law re-

    quired towns to limit their municipal

    budget increases to a maximum of 2

    percent, down from 4 percent, lest they

    be subject to public vote.As is the norm, legislators argued

    over whether the law would have any

    real effect on property taxes, or

    whether it was just another way of an-

    gling and passing blame onto predeces-

    sors.

    State data released last week would

    say that Christies property tax reform

    is indeed working.While the average residential prop-

    erty tax bill rose to a record high of

    $7,885 last year, it increased only 1.6

    percent. The states Community Af-

    fairs Department said that the average

    homeowner paid $126 more in property

    taxes last year, which represents the

    smallest increase in at least five years.CA Commissioner Richard Consta-

    ble is a believer: By any measure, the

    property-tax reforms have been a re-

    sounding success.

    Were not ready to jump headfirst

    into the Kool-Aid like Constable just

    yet, but we also believe that at least a

    small part of the leveling off in tax in-

    creases is because of the property tax

    cap.

    Residents of the Garden State still

    pay the highest average real-estate

    levies. Christies property-tax reform

    was never going to fix that problem in

    this short of a time frame, but its a

    good start thats showing progress al-

    ready.

    What the 2 percent cap does is keep

    local governments in check, with a rea-

    sonable limit on increases. It forces

    local councils, committees, commis-

    sions and school boards to take a sec-

    ond look at expenses and cut the excesswherever possible. It forces these enti-

    ties to investigate shared services and

    share resources.

    In a word, it forces accountability.

    No council, committee, commission

    or school board wants the fate of their

    budget to rest in the hands of voters.

    School boards disliked the practice

    when it was a standard, and theywould all dislike it if it were to go to a

    vote again.

    Is Christies 2-percent cap the be-all,

    end-all of property tax reform in New

    Jersey? Who knows? But it is a step in

    the right direction.

    Is Christies tax cap working?The data would say yes, at least on the surface

    Your thoughts

    Is Gov. Christies property tax reformworking? Or is it all just political smoke-and-mirrors? Let your voice be heardthrough a letter to the editor.

    Mayor discusses town hallmeet and greets

    Earlier this year, I created the Meet theMayor series of town hall meetings afirst for Montgomery.

    My goal was to conduct eight meetingswith various local organizations andhomeowner associations.

    As of last week, I am proud to announcethat all eight have been completed.

    I would like to thank the following

    groups for hosting me and for the pleasureof meeting their members/residents Ro-tary Club of Montgomery/Rocky Hill,Tapestry Homeowners Association, Mont-gomery Business Association, HuaXiaChinese School, Pike Run Masters Associ-

    ation, Stonebridge at Montgomery, Mont-gomery Tea Party and Cherry ValleyHomeowners Association.

    More than 300 residents attended the se-ries of meetings, which included extensiveand completely unrestricted question-and-answer sessions with attendees.

    I hope to see this initiative establishedas an annual tradition in Montgomery, re-gardless of who is mayor.

    These town hall style meetings havebeen rewarding and an excellent way for

    me to personally stay connected with resi-dents.

    We have a very engaged populationand I learned a lot from all the conversa-tions.

    Even though the 2013 series is over, Ilook forward to doing more events thisyear. I am always willing and ready tospend time with any group that asks.

    Thanks.Ed Trzaska

    mayor, Montgomery Township

    Well tell everyone else. Hopewell native

    to portray title rolefeel very strongly about this caseand there is still great controver-sy years after the trial, so I need-ed actors that can face the chal-lenge, he said.

    Hopewell native, TappanyHochman, will portray the titlerole. The actress shares much ofthe spunkiness and spontaneitythat Violet Sharp possessed inhappier days. A graduate of Tem-ple University, Hochman last ap-peared on the OBT stage in themusical Spelling Bee beforespending a year in New York Cityand recently returning to her

    roots in Hopewell.OBT crowd favorite, Barry

    Abramowitz of Lawrenceville,plays the surly detective HarryWalsh who repeatedly questionsand intimidates Violet. Walsh isquite a diversion from the roman-tic leading men, classical charac-ters and comedic rolesAbramowitz has played in the

    past at OBT.Playwright William Camerondramatizes a historical event,bases his show Violet Sharp onextensive research and thenmixes fact and speculation tobring the play to life. All the char-acters are real people with the ex-ception of the sob journalistAdela. Kelly Lake of West Wind-sor is the glamorous Adela who

    represents many of the variouscorrespondents and draws on theemotions of the event with her re-porting. Several actors play mul-tiple roles, a challenge enjoyed byperformers. With just a brief cos-tume change, the actor makeseach character recognizably dif-ferent with attitude, accent andbody language. In addition to

    Adela, Lake plays Betty Gow, anursemaid to the Lindberg babyand friend of Violet.

    The dramatic Violet Sharpwill open at the Off-BroadstreetTheatre on May 24 and run week-ends through June 22. Admissionis $27 to $31.50 per person. Forreservations, contact the Off-Broadstreet Theatre, at (609) 466-2766 or go to off-broadstreet.com.

    Montgomery Township low-ered its penalties for smoking ongrounds in the township that aredesignated smoke-free at its com-mittee meeting on May 16.

    Between four and five yearsago, the township adopted an or-dinance banning smoking on mu-nicipal grounds, including areas

    such as the municipal buildings,Otto Kaufman Community Cen-ter, public works facility, and any-where else a structure is locatedfor people to congregate, said Do-nato Nieman, township adminis-trator.

    One of the main reasons whythe ordinance was enacted wasbecause of the excessive smokingthat occurred by the municipal

    buildings when the townshipused to hold court in its meetingroom.

    In order to control situationslike this, the township imposed afine of up to $1,250 and 90 days in

    jail if a person was caught smok-ing on designated smoke-freegrounds.

    There was some conflict as towhether that [maximum penalty]is accurate or not, Nieman said.

    So, rather than have an issue if asummons were to be issued, wereduced the fine to what we be-lieve is consistent with lower-level municipal violations.

    The township lowered the vio-lation to a maximum fine of $200,

    although no one has ever been is-sued a summons for this matter.

    Other business that occurredat the meeting included an updateon the hiring process for the newpolice officers in the township,which was given by CaptainRobert Palmer.

    Palmer said conditional offershave been made to three individu-als.

    The township is just waiting

    for results from physical andmedical tests. If they check out,Palmer will appoint the new offi-cers at the committees next meet-ing on June 6, and have them onthe payroll the following Monday,June 10.
