PEAPACK-GLADSTONE – After more than 20
years of public service, Mayor William Horton
said this week he will not seek re-election this fall.
Citing the time demands of the office and a desire
to begin downsizing, Horton, 71, said he hopes
to remain active in the community but also pursue
other volunteer interests during his retirement
from elective office.
“I’ve been here so long,’’ he said in an interview
on Monday. “The thought is to just step down and
take a breather for at least a year and get a better
lay of the land.’’
A Republican, Horton will conclude his second,
four-year mayoral term at the end of the year. He
previously served on the Borough Council for 14
years, from 1993 to 2007, and had also served on the
Bedminster Township Committee for six years before
building a home and moving to Highland Avenue
in Peapack.
‘Zero Impact’
While the mayor has been involved in a series of
heated political debates in recent years – most notably
involving the Matheny Medical and Educational
Center for the disabled – he vehemently denied
that any of these controversial issues influenced
his decision to not run again.
“That has zero impact on my decision,’’ he said.

“I don’t hold grudges. I try to do my due diligence

He acknowledged that “there’s always frustrations,’’
but said he doesn’t “bear any ill will toward

“That’s the way I’ve always conducted my personal

Horton, whose wife, Linda, is a longtime volunteer

The charges were brought before the state Department

Student substance abuse sparks debate
Bernards Township school board acknowledges problem but is divided over solutions
BY W. JACOB PERRY
STAFF WRITER
BERNARDS TWP. – Problems
with student substance abuse
drew passionate arguments
among Board of Education
members Monday night, but
there was no clear consensus on
how to address the issue.
The idea of reviving a proposal
for random student drug testing
(RSDT) at Ridge High School
did not appear to have majority
support, with several board
members placing more importance
on parental involvement.
“You can’t change student
norms if the parental norms
don’t change,” said Board President
Robin McKeon. “I really
think it has to be a joint effort.
You’re not going to make a lot of
headway if they’re not involved.”
The board ultimately asked
the administration to compile a
list of the district’s existing and
past programs for combating
teen drinking and drug use.
Earlier in the meeting, the
board also discussed student

Board of Education
Student substance abuse,
which has been a local issue for
years, returned to the forefront
after a Ridge High student was
charged with drunk driving
while en route to school in a car
with five other students on
Wednesday morning, Jan. 22.
That resulted in Monday’s
meeting agenda including a
board forum on “student health
concerns.”
The discussion began with
board member Beverly Darvin
Cwerner stressing the role of
parents and family.
“I personally feel it all starts in
the home,” she said.
Cwerner then said she preferred
not to revisit the RSDT
proposal, which failed to win
board support in a 4-4 vote back
in November 2008.
“I haven’t seen any fact-based
evidence that it’s effective,” she
said.
That didn’t sit well with board
member Michael Byrne, who
has repeatedly called on his
board colleagues to support

BERNARDSVILLE BOROUGH COUNCIL
Field house flap ends
with request rejected
By CHARLIE ZAVALICK
EDITOR
BERNARDSVILLE – A proposal
to honor a former borough recreation
director ended Monday
night much the way it began –
with more arguing and ill will.
In front of a large and angry
crowd, the Borough Council officially
rejected a request to honor
the late Ron Nardone by naming
the Claremont Field House in
his honor. No vote was taken as a
motion by Councilman John
Farrell ended without a second.
The effort began back on Dec.
9, when a motion to approve the
proposal by then-Councilman
Craig Lawrence also died for
lack of a second.
The council’s latest action
came after numerous friends
and family members asked the
governing body to reverse a decision
it had improperly made
during an executive, or closed,
meeting on Jan. 27.
“It appears that the council
has attempted via political maneuvering
to circumvent public
discussion and voting in public
on this matter of great importance
to a significant number of
residents, and has voted and denied
our request to name Claremont
Field in honor of my
grandfather behind closed
doors,’’ Ryan Scott Weber of
Bernardsville said, reading from
a prepared statement. “Apparently
common courtesy is not in
the lexicon of this governing
body – sad indeed.’’
On Monday, Mayor Lee Honecker
said the council’s Jan. 27
vote taken in executive session
was “an error’’ and would be revisited
that evening.
After having reviewed material
submitted by the family about
Mr. Nardone’s career, the council
discussed the matter and sent a
letter to Weber signed by Council
President Joseph Rossi and
dated Jan. 31.
“Ron’s contribution to the borough
was indeed outstanding,
both as a volunteer and employee,’’
Rossi wrote.
“In light of the fact, however,
that (with the exception of the
Nervine Pond) no other borough
facility, building or recreational
field has ever been named after
an individual resident or employee,
this council is extremely
reluctant to start taking on the
burden of selecting individuals
to honor in this manner.
“The council indicated that
there could be other potentially
deserving residents and honor-

ing every such person in this
way would be extremely difficult.’’
Instead, the council offered to
donate $100 to “initiate’’ a project
to obtain a memorial plaque
that could be placed inside Borough
Hall or on a flagpole, or toward
a park bench similar to
the way “friends’’ honored the
late businessman Sid Sussman
at the pond several years ago.
Weber called that offer “inadequate’’
and turned it down.
Several residents voiced support
for Mr. Nardone, a volunteer
who went on to become the
borough’s first recreation director
in 1976.
A former owner of Nardone’s
Bakery in town, he had been involved
in various recreation
programs back to the 1950s and
continued to serve into the
1990s. He died at age 79 in November
of last year following a
lengthy battle with cancer.
“I was very disappointed in
the decision,’’ said Denis Dooley,
a former councilman who
said he knew Mr. Nardone for
25-plus years.
“Ron started many wonderful
things,’’ including programs
for the disabled, added Rich
Musser.
Others vented at the council
for acting behind closed doors.
“You people aren’t looking at
your community members or
you just don’t care,’’ said Kathleen
Crow, Mr. Nardone’s
daughter.
“Oh, we’ll do things behind
people’s backs and make fun of
the deceased,’’ her son, Jason
‘I don’t think
we’re asking for a
huge thing. This
town would be a
better place if we
did name things
after people.’
RYAN SCOTT WEBER
Bernardsville resident
Crow of Pottersville, added.
“I don’t see people lined up to
have things named after them,’’
Weber said. “I don’t think we’re
asking for a huge thing. This
town would be a better place if
we did name things after people.’’
Officials said the council’s
action did not diminish Mr.
Nardone’s contributions. The
comments only angered the
crowd.
“The issue is not whether
you have the right to name a facility,’’
said Bernardsville resident
Paul Passaro, a former
borough administrator and engineer.
“The issue was mishandled,’’
he said, and turned into “a
tirade of nonsense.’’
“A simple request could have
been dealt with in a far more
civilized manner.’’
After Farrell’s motion died
on the floor, Rossi said the council
was still “supportive’’ of the
family.
He said he’d be willing to put
a fund-raising committee together,
citing the effort to raise
funds for the statue of late Congresswoman
Millicent Fenwick
of Bernardsville.
“We want to do something,’’
he said.
Memorial Garden
Later in the meeting, the
council unanimously approved
a request from the
Bernardsville Public Library to
establish a memorial garden at
the north entrance of the library
off Anderson Hill Road
in honor of late Mayor Joseph
“Jay’’ Parsons.
The idea was introduced by
Terry Thompson, president of
the library Board of Trustees.
Mr. Parsons’ family made a
donation and approved plans to
add landscaping, benches and
other enhancements outside of
the entrance to the library’s
Community Room. The door is
normally locked, as the room is
often used for art exhibits.
Drawings were shown by
landscape architect Brian
Bosenberg of Far Hills, who
said the project would be “simple
and elegant.’’
The courtyard project would
include a “kinetic sculpture’’ in
a passive garden, he said.
The drawing identified the
project as the “Jay Parsons
Memorial Garden.’’
Mr. Parsons was appointed
mayor in 2002 upon the death of
Hugh Fenwick. He was then
elected to a four-year term in
2004.
He passed away in March of
2013 in Florida.

DEBATE: Student stress noted

audience of about 15 people.
He dismissed the current antisubstance
abuse effort as relying
on measures like “fun runs,”
street fair booths and movies.
“Nothing works,” he said.
“There’s a ‘Let’s continue it because
we’re not making any enemies.’
But we may kill some
kids.”
“What we’re doing is a joke,”
he remarked.
Byrne called the defeat of
RSDT “one of the biggest mistakes
this board ever made.”
While acknowledging that it
would not detect alcohol abuse,
he suggested trying it and making
modifications if necessary.
He recalled that the cost was listed
at only $5,000 per year.
“I think something drastic
should be done,” he argued. “The
kids have a problem and we’re going
to do ‘nice-nice.’ That’s ridiculous.”
Board member Elaine Kusel
said “we all agree that drugs are
a problem,” but she cited a need
for “evidence-based evaluations”
of RSDT to see if it actually
works.
“I want to do something,” she
said. “I just want to do something
that gets results.”
‘Not Doing Enough’
Board member Christopher
Viereck expressed a similar view.
But he also said the community
has “many programs that have
done nothing.”
He cited statistics in the American
Drug and Alcohol Survey
(ADAS), which surveys district
students every three years on
their alcohol and drug use. The
last survey was conducted in early
2011.
Viereck said that among Ridge
class seniors that year, 70 percent
had consumed alcohol in the past
month, versus 41 percent nationally;
49 percent got drunk in the
past month, as opposed to 27 percent
nationally; 28 percent
smoked marijuana in the past
month, versus 21 percent nationally;
and 16.8 percent considered
themselves “heavy alcohol
users,” as opposed to 11.8 percent
nationally.
“The community is not doing
enough – it needs to do more,” he
asserted. “Parents cast a blind
eye to kids who drink in the basement.”
He said a problem was the
mindset that “everyone else has
the problem with their children
but not mine.”
Still, Viereck said he would
need to “think twice” about
RSDT. He questioned the emotional
impact on a teen being escorted
out of class to give a urine
sample.
Added board member Karen
Richman, “I don’t think anyone
is going to sign off on their kid
having that kind of scrutiny.”
She also said there were “many
ways to get around” drug testing.
Byrne continued to argue for
RSDT, saying a former township
police officer told him that if his
son were to test positive for
drugs, the officer would thank
the school “for catching something
he missed.”
“I don’t accept that we shouldn’t
test because it might be embarrassing,”
he said. “We’re talking
about lives here.”
Byrne said that last year, three
Ridge High graduates in their
twenties and thirties died in a
single week.
“Every child that’s doing it exposes
every other child in the district
to peer pressure, to get involved,”
he said. “We subject the
child to maybe dying from it.
Drugs are getting more powerful
all the time.”
Richman said substance abuse
“is much bigger than a school
problem.” She suggested forming
a task force of people from the
schools and the community.
One parent, Carol Spina of
Mine Brook Road, offered to work
on a committee to study RSDT.
“It’s time for the board and parents
to work together, to protect
our children from drug abuse
and underaged drinking,” she
said.
Board member Linda
Wooldridge urged parents to attend
a program entitled “The Cycle
of Pills to Heroin: Drug
Trends in Our Community,”
scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday,
March 13, at the Ridge High Performing
Arts Center on South
Finley Avenue.
She said the program includes
a movie that will be followed by a
panel discussion.
‘Stress Is Ridiculous’
In other business, the issue of
quarterly exams, which replaced
mid-term exams at Ridge High in
the fall of 2012, drew equally passionate
remarks from some parents.
Debra Bosland of Van Cortland
Way urged a return to midterms,
saying the system of quarterlies
forces students to prepare
for a major test in one course
while doing homework in others.
“The stress level that these
kids are under, trying to do homework
and prepare for exams, is
unbelievable,” Bosland told the
board. “You can’t do two hours of
homework in addition to preparing
for quarterlies the next day.”
Michelle Cappola of Vanderveer
Drive also called for a
change.
“The stress is ridiculous and
I’m fearful for our children,” she
said.
Wooldridge, chair of the
board’s curriculum committee,
said there were no plans to drop
quarterlies in the current school
year but the administration
would decide in the next couple of
months what to do in the next
school year.
But Byrne and Viereck said
such a decision should involve
the full board.
“I want the opportunity to ask
questions, and the public as
well,” Byrne said, drawing applause.
Board member Priti Shah said
the issue was “too much of a hot
topic” for the board to be passive.
“I don’t want to be presented
with a solution because then
there is no chance for the board
to ask why,” Shah said. “Yes, we
need to support the administrators
… but I don’t want a backlash
like on the quarterlies.”
Richman said the board “owes
it to the public and get their buyin;
to understand why we’re doing
it, and why it’s good for
them.”

BERNARDS TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE
Plowed over mailbox costs
no longer borne by town
By W. JACOB PERRY
STAFF WRITER
BERNARDS TWP. – With Old
Man Winter baring his teeth this
year, a new, more conservative
township policy on fixing or replacing
mailboxes damaged from
snow plowing has gotten an icy
reception from at least one resident.
Last Aug. 27, the Township
Committee adopted a resolution
“formalizing certain policies
concerning discretionary snow
and ice removal operations” in
the township.
The new policy held that certain
manmade improvements
placed in the road right-of-way,
such as sports equipment, mailboxes,
light posts and landscaping,
if damaged during normal
township snow removal operations,
“shall not be reimbursable
unless damaged by DPW (Department
of Public Works) due to
gross negligence or intentional
conduct.”
At the meeting, Township Administrator
Bruce McArthur attributed
the move in part to fiscal
constraints imposed by the
state’s 2 percent cap on tax increases.
He said most displaced mailboxes
were “not very well anchored,”
and diverting manpower
for such replacements was
“not palatable to the average taxpayer.”
The new policy was put to test
during an eight-inch snowfall on
Monday, Feb. 3. A resident, Rosemary
Braniff of Chapin Road,
subsequently found that when
her road was plowed, her mailbox
was knocked off its post.
Braniff told this newspaper on
Thursday, Feb. 6, that she had
been unaware of the policy
change when she contacted Public
Works Director Pat Monaco
and Supervisor Dave Ferratti,
who inspected the mailbox and
left behind a note saying the
township was not responsible.
She then left a message for
McArthur, who called back and
explained the policy change.
She remained dissatisfied.
“If you damage someone’s
property, you should come up
and repair it,” Braniff said. It
(the mailbox) has been banged
up quite a few times in the past.
I didn’t think the township could
pass something that basically
takes them off the hook on damages.
That’s wrong.”
Braniff said that while the repairs
might cost about $300, “for
me it’s more the principle than
the cost.”
“It’s an example of not taking
responsibility,” she said. “I see it
happening in government on a
larger scale. It’s never anyone’s
fault.”
McArthur, in response to an
inquiry from this newspaper,
said in an email on Friday, Feb. 7,
that the township interprets the
policy “pretty liberally.” He said
if a plow “leaves the roadway
and makes contact with a mailbox,
we will repair.”
The particular mailbox on
Chapin Road was repaired by the
township in 2009 and again in
2011, he noted. He said the mailbox
had a weak support and
came down with the weight of
the snow. The road supervisor, in
inspecting the mailbox, also left a
copy of the township resolution
and U.S. Post Office recommendations
on mailbox installation,
he said.
“Our DPW is damned if they
do, damned if they don’t,” he
wrote. “We would receive complaints
that we didn’t clear wide
enough if our goal of snow operations
was to protect mailboxes.”
McArthur said that with the
township having 120 miles of
roads, 25 miles of designated
sidewalks and school and municipal
sites to plow, “our DPW
crews have done a fine job under
very challenging conditions.”
“The old policy of appeasing
all … was essentially a mailbox
upgrade program,” he added.
“Typically posts/boxes would
come down that had rotted or
weakened supports, or were installed
too close to the roadway.
We can not afford the cost and especially
the time anymore.”
Mayor John Carpenter expressed
a similar view, saying
the township has implemented
“a fair and reasonable policy.”
“It was developed after years of
replacing mailboxes that had
outlived their useful lives and
happened to get knocked over”
by plowed snow, he said. “If we
hit the mailbox, we will readily
make amends.”
Bridge work delayed in Bedminster
BEDMINSTER TWP. – A partial
closure of Burnt Mills Road for
two bridge replacement projects
over Interstate Route 287, originally
scheduled for last month,
has been rescheduled for early
March. The closings and detour
are now scheduled to begin on
Friday, March 7, and last
through Monday, July 14, when
the work would be completed, according
to the municipal web
site. The work will be followed by
the closing and replacement of a
third Burnt Mills Road bridge
further west, over I-78. That closing
and detour is scheduled to
begin on Tuesday, July 15, and
end on Sunday, Oct. 12.
Mayor Steven Parker said he
believed the delays were caused
by inclement weather. He saw
that as beneficial, noting that an
unofficial detour down River
Road west of Mathews Drive is
again available because Somerset
County completed bridge work
there in late January. The state
Department of Transportation
(DOT) has said the official detour
will consist of Burnt Mills Road,
Rattlesnake Bridge Road, I-78, I-
287 and Route 202-206.

MAYOR: ‘Time has
become precious’
FROM PAGE 1
false and malicious.’’ He said
he has obtained counsel and is
“fully prepared to carry that
matter to a conclusion,’’ but
said he has heard nothing from
the DCA in recent months.
On other fronts, the mayor
had some disputes with members
of the council over appointments
to various committees
earlier this year. Nonetheless,
he said he has “no difficulty
working with’’ the council
and “welcomes different perspectives.’’
The governing body has had
significant turnover in recent
years and Horton has lost some
key political allies, including
the late Doug McDowell and
former council members Mike
Seboria, John Sweeney and
Judy Silacci.
“I certainly miss my longtime
friends and colleagues,’’
he said, but noted that “their
broad base of knowledge is still
being made available to the borough’’
as they continue to serve
on various committees in town.
“They haven’t gone away,’’ he
said. “They’re still close at
hand providing the borough
services.’’
Seboria serves as director of
the Office of Emergency Management,
he noted, while
Sweeney and Silacci were appointed
to the Land Use Board.
Sweeney is also the new chair
of the Open Space Committee.
A retired lawyer, Horton said
he’d like to remain active in the
community, although in what
capacity would depend on the
new mayor and council who
make the appointments.
He said he’d also like to volunteer
with The Seeing Eye,
help the Visiting Nurse Association
(VNA) of Somerset Hills
with its rummage sales and
possibly volunteer to tutor
“kids who need help with reading
or other subjects.’’
In a letter to this newspaper
announcing his decision, Horton
said that he and his wife
will be celebrating their 50th
anniversary this August.
They are both blessed with
“excellent health,’’ he said.
While attendance at various
municipal meetings is “enjoyable,’’
he said it places “additional
demands on my available
time.’’
“Time has become a precious
commodity,’’ he said, noting
that he is thinking of selling
his home and downsizing
“which will require a great deal
of time and preparation.’’
In an interview, he said he
and Linda have a lot of friends
in town and would like to stay
here but he “can’t predict what
the future’s going to bring.’’
It will be nice to “get up, have
a cup of coffee, read the newspaper’’
and take a long walk
with his dog, Molly, he said.
But eventually he said he expects
to get tired of that routine
and will want to do things to
“remain active mentally and
physically.’’
“I think I’d go crazy if I didn’t
have things to occupy my
mind,’’ he said.
‘Seize Opportunity’
Looking ahead, he said he
one of his goals in his final
months in office is to “reactivate
the Open Space Committee
so it focuses on the acquisition
of open space.’’
“That process is under way.’’
He also said he hopes to preserve
as much farm land in the
borough as possible.
“We can’t rely on zoning to
protect our farmland,’’ he said.
“We’ve got all sorts of threats to
our unique heritage and way of
life.’’
“We need to seize any opportunity
that we can to make sure
this town remains the same for
the next 20, 30, 40 years.’’
Horton also said he hopes to
continue performing weddings,
which is now allowed of retired
mayors. He said he has performed
35 weddings so far, calling
it “one of my favorite ceremonial
duties.’’

BERNARDS TOWNSHIP PLANNING BOARD
Mosque proposal traffic
seen as a safety threat
By W. JACOB PERRY
STAF WRITER
BERNARDS TWP. – Traffic issues
resurfaced at the latest
hearing on a proposal for a
mosque in Liberty Corner, as letters
from two township fire officials
warned that further congestion
on Church Street could
delay emergency response times
from the Liberty Corner Firehouse.
But the Planning Board, in reviewing
the letters at the hearing
on Tuesday, Feb. 4, was advised
by its attorney that it could
not legally consider the warnings
when it decides to approve
or reject the controversial project,
which is being sought by the
Islamic Society of Basking
Ridge (ISBR).
Because township zoning
deemed houses of worship a
“permitted use” in residential
zones at the time the mosque
plans were filed, “off-site traffic
issues can not be considered,”
said Board Attorney Jonathan
Drill, drawing groans from an
audience of about 25 people.
The legal presumption, Drill
explained, is that the governing
body considered off-site traffic in
allowing the use to be “permitted,”
meaning the board would
be usurping the governing body
if it ruled otherwise.
Rob Simon, a Warren Township
attorney hired by objectors
to the proposal, countered that a
township ordinance allows the
board to reject any proposed
driveway ingress or egress that
has an adverse effect on township
roadways.
Drill acknowledged that driveway
safety could be reviewed,
but he reiterated that existing
traffic conditions could not.
If they are factored in, the
board is “subject to getting reversed
in Superior Court,” he
said.
The hearing – the 13th on the
proposal since August 2012 – lasted
nearly three hours before it
was adjourned at 11:18 p.m., with
residents in the midst of crossexamining
the ISBR’s project engineer.
The next hearing is scheduled
for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, at
town hall on Collyer Lane. Public
questioning of the engineer
will continue, and the ISBR will
then present its final expert witness,
Morristown-based professional
planner David Zimmerman.
A subsequent hearing is
scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday,
April 24, at town hall. At that
point, Simon is expected to indicate
if the opposition will present
its own expert witnesses.
That would be followed, time
permitting, by public comments,
attorney summations, and finally,
a board deliberation and vote.
The ISBR is seeking to raze a
house at 124 Church St., located
on 4.3 acres roughly opposite the
Liberty Corner Firehouse, and
build a two-story, 4,250-squarefoot
facility for up to 142 worshippers.
There would be 107
parking stalls.
With the site located between
two homes, residents in the area
have voiced concerns about the
impact on their neighborhood.
An early hearing drew 120 people,
but turnouts dropped when
it became clear that a vote was
far off.
‘Additional Hindrance’
As last Tuesday’s hearing began,
the board was still reviewing
staff comments on prior testimony
by project engineer Adnan
Khan.
Much of the focus was on letters
from Liberty Corner Fire
Chief Peter Aprahamian and
Township Fire Official Janet
Lake, both of whom were in the
audience.
Aprahamian’s letter recommended
several modifications,
including: moving a proposed
light post away from a fire hydrant;
utilizing flush/mountable
curbing; and posting ‘No stopping
or standing’ or ‘No parking’
signs along both sides of Church
Street between Mine Brook Road
and Somerville Road.
The letter also warned that
more traffic on Church Street
“could cause an additional hindrance
with regard to our ability
to respond to emergencies.”
Aprahamian said the fire company
had 445 calls for service in
2013 and 520 in 2012, and all required
exiting onto Church
Street. He said a traffic issue already
existed with Liberty Corner
School’s assembly and dismissal.
Lake made similar comments
in her letter, saying the project
would “add to an already congested
two-lane road.”
“Church Street has more traffic
than any other two lane roadway
in the township except
South Finley Avenue,” she
wrote. She said the 2003 construction
of the Canterbury Way
bypass route from Mount Airy
Road to Liberty Corner Road
was designed “to relieve some of
this traffic.”
“In my opinion,” she added,
“to add another assembly use to
this area of Church Street will
have a negative effect on what
the bypass was put in to alleviate.
The additional traffic can
hamper fire and emergency response.”
Drill read the comments aloud
for the audience and then advised
the board to disregard the
comments on traffic. He noted
that both Aprahamian and Lake
referred to traffic problems as
existing.
He went on to cite three court
rulings that rejected existing
traffic problems as a reason to
deny a permitted use.
Although the Township Committee
adopted a zoning ordinance
that switched houses of
worship to a “conditional use”
last October, Drill saw no impact
on the mosque proposal. He said
a “time of application law”
passed by the state Legislature
in 2011 holds that the rules for a
proposal can’t be changed once
the plans are filed.
At Drill’s behest, the board
proposed a motion on whether to
accept his advice. The motion
passed in a 6-2 vote.
Lake, under a cross-examination
by the ISBR’s attorney,
Robert Raymar, admitted that
she was not a traffic expert. She
said she still had concerns.
When Simon argued that the
mosque’s traffic impact still merited
a review, Drill advised Simon
not to rely on the opinions
of fire officials who were admittedly
not traffic experts.
“If you have a traffic safety issue
and a traffic expert, call him
and let him explain why it’s not
safe,” Drill said.
When Aprahamian was called
to field questions, Ramar objected,
saying the ISBR already accepted
the chief ’s suggestions.
But Drill said questions should
be allowed, especially if the public
had additional fire safety concerns.
In response to questions from
a resident, Aprahamian said he
recommended ‘No stopping or
standing’ signs for Church
Street because if eight or more
westbound vehicles were to
stack to make left turns into the
mosque, the fire house driveway
would be blocked.
Impact On Neighbors
Khan was then recalled for
questioning, and as at prior
hearings, residents who live next
to the ISBR site asked how they
would be affected by activities in
the proposed parking lot.
Drill told the board that while
it could not consider existing
traffic impacts, “it can and must
consider impacts on adjacent
properties.” He noted, as an example,
that a township ordinance
prohibits new lights from
shining into windows.
Ashok Wahi of 365 Somerville
Road, whose property abuts the
ISBR site to the southwest, asked
Khan a series of questions about
lighting and noise.
While the ISBR listed “foot
candle” intensities for parking
lot lights, Wahi asked if Khan
knew the “foot candle” for car
headlights.
Khan said he did not.
BEDMINSTER TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE
Turtle tunnel, path funding up for a vote
BEDMINSTER TWP. – A turtle
tunnel and a hike-and-bike path
connector would draw closer to
construction under a funding ordinance
introduced by the Township
Committee.
The measure, which the committee
introduced on Monday,
Feb. 3, would authorize up to
$75,000 to fund engineering studies
for the two projects.
A public hearing is scheduled
for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, at the
municipal complex on Miller
Lane.
Grants for the projects were
awarded last April.
The River Road Turtle Tunnel,
a project designed to protect endangered
wood turtles in the
township, would be largely paid
by a federally funded Transportation
Enhancement (TE)
grant of $180,000.

The presence of wood turtles
in the environmentally sensitive
Stahl Area of River Road Park
was initially raised years ago by
neighbors opposed to the development
of active recreational
fields in the park. The field plans
were ultimately changed.
The tunnel project would consist
of a series of culverts that
would allow the turtles to safely
cross beneath Route 202-206. It
would be built close to the entrance
to the park off River Road
near the Stahl Area.
The other project, known as
the Hike and Bikeway South
West Connector, would be largely
funded by a $253,843 grant from
the state Department of Transportation
(DOT).
The project would complete the
final link of the township’s socalled
Hike and Bike pathway.
The path begins on Robertson
Road in The Hills development,
goes to River Road Park, continues
along the river, crosses over
European
Crafted
Route 202-206 and heads toward
Miller Lane and the Bedminster
Elementary School area.
The final link would connect it
near the Clarence Dillon Library.
The Hike and Bike pathway
would then have a continuous
loop allowing residents of The
Hills to access recreation and other
public areas without having to
get onto Route 202-206.
Mayor Steven Parker said on
Friday, Feb. 7, that the grants are
not expected to cover the total
costs of the two projects, so there
will still be budgetary considerations.
The terms of the DOT
grant for the Hike and Bike pathway
require that a construction
contract be awarded by November,
Parker noted. He said the
committee will therefore need to
decide if it can afford uncovered
costs for both projects as it crafts
the 2014 municipal budget.
“Losing $253,000 for a project is
not something we take lightly,”
the mayor said.

Exotic food, dress highlight school’s ‘International Day’
By W. JACOB PERRY
STAFF WRITER
BERNARDS TWP. – Colorful
dress and ready-to-eat cuisine
from around the world were
showcased for an enthusiastic
crowd of parents and students as
part of Mount Prospect Elementary
School’s third annual International
Day on Friday evening,
Jan. 31.
The “Taste of Nations” was
held in the school gymnasium,
which was turned into a giant
food court for the occasion.
Booths representing 21 nations
featured photo displays and food
ranging from ethnic snacks to
exotic delicacies cooked on the
spot by volunteer parents, several
of whom wore garb from their
native land.
“This is fantastic,” parent
Kathleen Regis said amidst a
swarm of adults and children.
“It’s like the United Nations of
Basking Ridge. What a great way
to introduce kids to other cultures.”
Mount Prospect, a grade K-5
school on Hansom Road in The
Hills development, has far and
away the greatest percentage of
foreign-born families of any
public school in the Somerset
Hills. Nearly half are of Asian
descent, and many more originate
from Latin America and
various European nations.
Among the student body are 42
nationalities, according to Principal
Joanne Hozeny. “We’re
very fortunate,” she said.
“Everyone comes together and
learns about different ways of
life.
“The teachers and students all
had smiles,” she added. “It was
really fun.”
International Day was marked
by three main activities. During
the day, students in each grade
level went on an “international
flight” in which they visited four
to five classrooms to learn about
a particular country.
Those same countries were
represented in the Taste of Nations
starting at 5:30 p.m. The
day wrapped up with a 7 p.m. series
of on-stage cultural dance
performances by the third grade
classes. As in prior years, the
students practiced for two weeks
in advance under the tutelage of
West Orange dance instructor
Joanna Pang Atkins.
More than 100 parents volunteered
overall, Hozeny said. The
South Korean community, she
noted, took the extra step of obtaining
ethnic costumes from
their county and donating them
for the event.

‘An Amazing Event’
The volunteerism was on display
at the Taste of Nations.
The booth for Mexico featured
five local mothers, all in traditional
outfits and braided hair,
who cooked and served cochinita
pibil, a form of marinated
pork.
“We made this all ourselves,”
said one of the servers, Paty
Gomez.
The booth for India featured
spices, red lentils and herbs.
“Healthy body, mind and
spirit which makes everyone
happy,” Preeti Gupta, wearing a
dress from her native land, said
of the offerings.
“It’s really an amazing
event,” she added. “It’s practical,
it’s authentic. The kids get
to understand all the dimensions
of a culture.”
As one strode from booth to
booth, there were also samplings
of Spanish sausage and
fapaella (rice, clams and
shrimp), Finnish cinnamon
rolls and pulla rolls, Philippine
Lumpiang Shanghai (pork
spring rolls), dried mangoes
and puto (streamed rice cake),
and Argentine queso y salami
and alfajores cookies.
At the South Korean booth,
which offered Korean stir-fried
noodles, people with cameras
were drawn to the servers’ colorful
dresses.
“We’re all excited,” said Lee
Kin, one of the South Koreans.
“We really like this kind of

event. My friends come from
different countries and it’s
good to know about them.”
Gorm Mueller introduced
visitors to the Danish booth,
which featured a plate full of
Danish frikadeller meat patties.
“It’s good to see everyone’s
idea of their homeland and the
food they bring,” Mueller said.
“It’s a lot about the food but it’s
also about the people that are
here.
“I’m pretty amazed at the
way you get 21 countries and
you get people to do this,” he
added. “Everyone comes here
and enjoys it. The school and
the PTO are fantastic and they
deserve a lot of credit.”
Jennifer Zhang, who helped
run the China booth, said “all
the kids and the parents prepare
for a long time and have a
lot of fun here.”
“I think it’s fantastic,” said
Alankar Gupta, a native of India,
as he walked about with
his family. “It brings all the
counties together. It’s an experience
to meet other people
from different cultures.”

Times are
changing
P-G mayor to step
down at year’s end
The last few years in office
have been quite challenging
for Peapack-Gladstone Mayor
William Horton.
An astute and diplomatic
man, Horton has been shaken
by a series of controversial
issues, mostly involving

After more than two
decades in public office,

land use, that have at times divided this small, semi-rural
community.
A retired lawyer, he has worked hard to overcome the
many obstacles and win over the public, often through
comprehensive, often personal, letters and other correspondence.
Try as he may, the political tide has continued
to rise against him as his longtime political allies
have, one by one fallen aside, and antagonists and others
with differing agendas have ascended into power.
This week the embattled mayor finally decided to toss
in the towel, announcing that he would not seek a third,
four-year term this November.
It surely must have been a difficult decision for this
proud and dedicated public official, but one that probably
didn’t come as a major shock to those who’ve observed
the recent changing of the guard on the Borough
Council.
In a letter to this newspaper announcing his plan to
“retire from his retirement,’’ the mayor makes no reference
to the recent difficulties, citing only the time
commitments of the office and his desire to spend more
time with his family and on other matters.
In an interview, he also said the debates have had
“zero’’ impact on his decision. We credit Horton for
making a classy exit from a position that he has clearly
dedicated an enormous amount of energy and time toward.
Nonetheless, Peapack-Gladstone remains a small community
facing some weighty issues.
It is home to several major institutions, including the
Matheny Medical and Educational Center for the severely
disabled and Somerset County’s Natirar Park,
which present some unique challenges for the community
and its elected leaders.
It is also home to many influential residents with substantial
political, financial and legal clout, and a proven
ability to exercise that muscle.
With the ongoing litigation from Matheny resulting
from the town’s denial of its expansion proposal, those
factors have collided, resulting in a lingering political
storm. Unfortunately for Mayor Horton, whose wife has
been a longtime major supporter of Matheny, he been in
the epicenter of that cyclone and has often bore the
brunt of its downpour.
While he has tried to stay outside of the fray by recusing
himself from matters involving Matheny, Horton
has been personally charged with ethics violations by
a powerful local foe whose legal skills perhaps match his
own.
Not having all the facts available, it’s difficult for us to
opine on the merit of those allegations, which may never
be adjudicated. But they have undoubtedly been damaging,
hurtful and costly to the mayor and the community.
While we, too, have on occasion had disagreements
with the mayor over the years, we firmly believe that he
has operated with integrity and the best interests of the
borough’s residents over the years – all the residents,
including those unfortunate souls who call Matheny
home.
Under the current difficult circumstances, we agree
that it is probably best that the mayor call it a day. There
are other emerging leaders in town and we are confident
someone will step up next year to capably assume
the top elected position.
But for now we hope Horton’s political foes lay down
their swords and acknowledge his contributions to the
community over these many years, and work to make
his final months in office productive and fruitful.
‘It’s the cover-up, stupid’
When people talk about jobs,
they say, “It’s all about the economy,
stupid.”
An analogy can be made when
talking about ethics. “It’s all
about telling the truth, stupid.”
The problems occur with the
cover-up.
Remember President Richard
Nixon and Watergate back in the
1970’s? His minions were
charged with spying on Democratic
Party headquarters at the
Watergate complex in Washington,
D.C.
When the activity became
known, Nixon said, “I can say
categorically that…no one in the
White House staff, not one in
this Administration, presently
employed was involved in this
very bizarre incident.”
Nixon claimed that an investigation
had been made of the incident.
This was not true.
According to Wikipedia, “The
Watergate scandal left such an
impression on the national and
international consciousness that
many scandals have been labeled
with the suffix “-gate”.
Sound familiar? Gov. Chris
Christie from the moment the
news broke about the closure of
the access lanes to the George
Washington Bridge being closed
(Bridgegate) maintained he
knew nothing about it.
Just as in Watergate, which
was investigated by a select Senate
Committee, five committees
including one ordered by the Department
of Justice are investigating
Bridgegate.
It will be months until the outcome
of these investigations is
known and new information
continues to drip out like a leaky
water faucet.
Meanwhile Christie says the
investigation will not deter him
from his responsibilities as Governor.
His State of the State address
to the Legislature only
mentioned the scandal obliquely
referring to trouble waters both
with the weather and the scandal.
He showcases meetings with
the Senate and the Assembly in
which budget matters are discussed.
With Nixon there was much
talk about resignation before he
finally stepped down on Aug. 8,
1974. I was on holiday at the time
and listened to speech from a hotel
room in Stockholm. Out of
the Watergate experience, the expression
“Follow the Money”
was coined.
Proclaiming his innocence until
the end, Nixon had to watch
the proliferation of books and
films about Watergate.
There is much talk about
Christie resigning but he vows to
carry on.
His big stature adds credibility
to this position. The hope is
that the winds of the scandal
will blow away as he talks about
all he has accomplished for New
Jersey and his hopes for the future.
The testimony of John Dean,
a counsel in the White House,
who described the Watergate
activities and the subsequent
cover-up as a “cancer on the
presidency,” hastened Nixon’s
downfall.
A former friend dethroned
the President. If only Nixon
had told the truth, the outcome
would most likely have been
different. We all make mistakes.
People understand and
forgive.
Similarly, David Wildstein, a
former aide to the Governor,
blew the whistle on Christie.
Wildstein’s attorney wrote a
carefully crafted letter maintaining
that the Governor
knew about the closing of the
access lanes to the George
Washington Bridge while they
were taking place. If true,
such evidence is damning for
the Governor.
What is true in politics is
also true in daily life. My mother
drilled into me from an early
age the importance of telling
the true. To lie meant a thorough
tongue-lashing followed
by a week during which she
would not talk to me. Not nice.
So next time you are tempted
to tell a big or little lie, remember
such an action unleashes
unpleasant consequences.
Icy windshields, broken brooms and pitchforks
EDITOR:
On one sub-freezing morning this past
week in Bernardsville, I slid on foot to my
car in the driveway and encountered a big
problem: a six-inch-thick block of pure ice
covered my entire windshield.
Without legitimate manual labor, I wasn’t
going to be able to drive my son to
school and then continue on to my office
where, by the way, cold performance metrics
always await me.
First I chiseled, scraped and whacked
with a broom handle to no avail. I bent the
broom at its center. The damage didn’t
bother me much because I don’t like sweeping
floors.
It became obvious that clearing the windshield
would require the talents of either
the World’s Strongest Man, a chainsaw, or a
jackhammer. I didn’t see any of these
around.
Having heaved the bent broom across my
driveway, where it remains now four days
later, I grabbed my snow shovel and started
trying to chip away at the ice block. It was
like ramming a shovel into a cinderblock.
The shovel ricocheted back. The ice wouldn’t
break.
It then occurred to me that if I chipped
too much I might crack my windshield
again, which already had been damaged
from the ice storm a few weeks ago. It was
then that I hurled my son’s boots across the
car to him but didn’t put enough arm into
it, causing the heel to penetrate the snow
and crack the shield. Or maybe something
else cracked it but I will never know and
neither will you.
The crack extends from one end of the
shield to the other. I kept the crack a secret
from my wife until last Saturday night
when we decided to take my car out for an
evening and she noticed the crack and
blamed me for being irresponsible about
everything. This set the tone for the night.
As I unsuccessfully chipped with the
shovel, I thought of what other sharp instruments
I might have in my garage that
could remove the ice from my windshield. I
wondered if I had a pitchfork because it
seemed to me that that might be the answer.
Pitchforks rock sharp edges that protrude
like knives and appear to be ideal for horror
films. Think five or six metal highly
charged steel ice picks.
But I didn’t know if I had one in the
garage. Had I done any yard work in the
past 10 years, I might have used one during
spring-time to dig up dirt and planted an
azalea bush or something. But I hadn’t
done any such thing so I couldn’t be sure
what was in the garage except two trash
cans that I get to roll down to the curb
every Tuesday and Friday from now until
the end of my life.
But walking on the ice-skating rink that
was my driveway – which slants at a 70 degree
angle – would have been hazardous.
The chances of me falling on my rear end
were about 70/30. Who needs that public
humiliation so early in the morning?
I then pondered whether I had a hoe or a
shovel in the garage. Again, however, I didn’t
know if we had one because those are
yard tools and I don’t care about yard tools.
Don’t use them. Don’t like them. Don’t worry
about them.
Besides, even if I reached the garage and
these tools had been in there, they would
have been rusted to High Heaven. If I
chipped the windshield ice with a rusted
pitchfork – and no doubt mine would be
rusted if I had one at all — the ice would
turn all burnt orange. What an eye sore.
The rust might scrape and discolor my already
cracked windshield.
Time motored on as I made minimal
progress chipping away ice. I opened a slot
measuring about one foot squared, so I
could see at least something as I started my
morning commute.
“Get in,” I told my son. “We’re good to
go.”
“But Dad,” he said. “How can you see to
drive? You only have that little spot on your
side of the windshield to see through. The
rest of the windshield is still a six-inch
block of ice. I can’t see anything out the
front passenger seat and the back window
is completely ice.”
“I can see fine, son,” I said. “I’ve done
this many times before.”
Backing out of the driveway, I fought
miniscule visibility.
“Ah yes,” I said. “I’m good.”
On the way I noticed that the bottom
half of the entire windshield was blanketed
with ice. The ice camouflaged my
vehicle registration tag on the lower half
of the passenger side of the front windshield.
Although it expired more than a
year or two ago (I’m guessing), I had no
worries on this day. It was a guarantee
that a police offer would pull me over to
tell me my car had not been re-registered
properly. Had it been another day devoid
of all the ice, I ran the risk of receiving a
ticket for $250 for driving an unregistered
car.
This realization thawed my chilled spirits.

Showing mercy to a stray cat proved costly
EDITOR:
Will I offer help to another stray animal in
the future? Maybe not.
I wonder if any of your readers would either,
after they read this.
During the Polar Vortex a few weeks ago,
my youngest daughter and I were outside
and we heard a cat meow from under our
deck. A friendly, very thin black and white
“tuxedo’’ cat gingerly came over to us. We
were both worried about it being outside in
the arctic -4F temperatures overnight.
It was clear that the cat had been someone’s
pet because it was affectionate and
friendly. It must have been fending for itself
for a while because it was severely underweight.
We tucked the cat in our garage and called
the police department the next morning.
They referred us to a private animal control
agency that handled strays for the
Bernardsville area. The agency was very
reputable and recommended that we alert

networks, maybe the owner would call.
Adopting the stray myself was not an option
at this time. Financially, I cannot afford
the medical care that would be needed, plus
I already have three “rescued” cats.
The friendly stray stayed in our garage
while we waited for space to open up at the
agency. Over the next 10 days, no one
claimed the cat. When the agency finally
said a space had opened up, we were advised
that the surrender fee was $175.
I was shocked. I reminded them that this
was not my pet and it was a stray. The representative
cited a New Jersey law, and I’m
paraphrasing, that “once you show an interest
in an animal and give it shelter and food,
it establishes ownership.”
I tried to politely debate this issue since no
one told me about this law, not the police and
clearly not the rescue agency.

asked if the fee could be lowered to $50, but
the agency declined. I understand that they
need to cover the care of the animals they
pick up, but this fee seemed excessive to
someone simply trying to do the right
thing.
I scraped together the “discounted” fee of
$100 by borrowing the money. I took the hit
because it was more humane to place the cat
in a shelter than let him continue to live as
a stray.
I want other residents to be aware that
while showing mercy to a stray animal during
a Polar Vortex is applauded, it can be

animal in this way, which is why I tried to
help. Merciful hearts, be warned.

Addiction: A family disease that death does not cure
EDITOR:
Early this past December, we were
contacted by a reporter for a television
network interested in doing a feature on
addiction.
The topic was to be “the increase of
heroin use among suburban teens” -
many of whom move to heroin from
prescription painkillers as it is cheaper
and more readily available.
As explained to us, the reporter
planned to interview an important
leader in the drug prevention field as
well as connect with and interview a
family whose child had recently struggled
with heroin. She properly acknowledged
the sensitive nature of the
issue, but felt a personal story from a
family would make it all the more impactful.
As New Yorkers, we did not qualify as
suburbanites. We did, however, qualify
as a family whose child had struggled
with addiction and lost his struggle to
heroin. We had no doubt our story
would have impact, and the reporter
agreed. We arranged a date for an oncamera
interview at our home shortly
P-G Mayor: Time to ‘retire from retirement’
EDITOR:
It has been a great pleasure
and honor to serve for the past
22 years on the Borough Council,
including seven of those
years as your mayor.
For the reasons set forth below,
I have decided not to run
for a third term as mayor. My
current four-year term will end
this year.
I retired in 2004 as a senior
litigation partner with Mc-
Carter & English, L.L.P., after
35 years with that firm. While I
found my litigation practice
fascinating and rewarding,
there were many other things I
wanted to accomplish, to include
travel, spending more
time with family, longer vacations
at our cottage on Rattlesnake
Island in Lake Winnipesaukee,
N.H., and various
outdoor hobbies.
I also planned, like every retired
husband, to accomplish
lots of things around the
house. To date, most of those
goals remain elusive.
The work of the mayor’s office
has become extremely time
consuming, and my wife and
high school sweetheart, Linda,
EDITOR:
I believe it’s no coincidence
the Matheny’s chairman of the
board and Mayor Bill Horton
have launched a side-by-side
personal attacks on me, rather
than answer the questions
posed by my letter to the editor
regarding Matheny’s second
lawsuit against Peapack-Gladstone.
I inquired why Matheny
could not used their “legal easement”
private driveway, Blair
Drive, for its traffic, as will be
the case for all 25,000 expected
Mansion in May visitors.
Daniel McLaughlin instead restated
all of the changes that
Matheny proposed during the
Land Use Board hearings in order
to convert our neighborhood
street, Highland Avenue,
to their thoroughfare at taxpayer
expense.
I also inquired of Mayor Horton
why there was no public
mention that Matheny had
launched a second lawsuit
before Christmas. We even tidied up for
the event.
The day before the scheduled shoot
we received an e-mail: “Please accept
my most sincere apologies - my executive
producer has put this story on hold
because of breaking news today, and
they aren’t able to spare a cameraman
for me to work with. Please let’s keep in
touch and reconnect in the New Year -
this is a crucially important story and I
very much want to tell it.”
We did stay in touch, making sure the
reporter knew we were still willing and
available. Finally, at the end of January
we received this message: “Our executive
producer really wants us to speak to
a family who is still dealing with this issue…(he)
thinks it would be more important
to have a family going through
it now.”
My response to the reporter follows:
“On the one hand, I understand and
get what your producer is after. Perhaps,
it makes a better story, perhaps a
more compelling story. It does make me
worry that the “story,” as conceived by
your producer, is where journalism
and I are not getting any
younger. We will celebrate our
50th wedding anniversary in
August of this year.
Unfortunately, time continues
to tick like the borough’s
newly restored schoolhouse
clock, and the years are falling
like autumn leaves. We’re now
seriously thinking of selling
our home and downsizing,
which will require a great deal
of time and preparation.
I hope that, as mayor, I have
been able to accomplish many
good things for the borough. I
have certainly tried to keep my
office as open and accessible as
possible, and to respond to inquiries
from residents as
quickly as possible.
I have never pretended to
have all the answers, but I have
done my best to find them. My
goals, as I stated during our reorganization
meeting in January,
have been to preserve our
historic heritage and unique
small town way of life; to keep
our taxes as low as possible; to
preserve our open spaces and
farmland; to protect our fragile
environment, pristine rivers
and wildlife; to provide ade-
against our borough, and so he
digressed to assert that he was
recusing himself from Matheny
matters and could not discuss
the case. The fact that our borough
has been sued is public information
and the taxpayers
have a right to know this material
fact.
Mayor Horton knows perfectly
well it’s not illegal or inappropriate
to publicly state that
Matheny filed a suit against the
borough and our legal representatives
would be handling
the litigation.
There have been several Borough
Council meetings since
the second lawsuit was filed,
but not a word has been shared
with our residents. Perhaps
this is because the Miles for Matheny
“special use permit” will
be coming before the governing
body shortly?
Speaking of Miles for Matheny,
it appears that Matheny’s executive
leadership has spent
more than twice as much on at-
veers dangerously into entertainment.
“On the other hand, allow me to enlighten
your producer. Simply because
our son is dead, does not mean we are
done “dealing with this issue.” We will
be “dealing” for the rest of our lives.
Our version of “dealing” may not have
the kind of perceived currency, which
will boost audience numbers. It is, however,
real and ongoing.
Addiction is a family disease. The
death of one member of the family does
not suddenly cure the rest of us. Our
“cure” will only come about as we strive
to do good in the name of our lost son
and brother. We will continue to deal
with this cure up to our own death. It is
a legacy that will pass on to our soon-tobe-born
first grandchild, a child who
will know Uncle William only through
stories and photographs.
“Perhaps ours is another story for
another time. Most certainly it is a story
your producer should know. Your
producer should also know it is a story
worth sharing.
“It is not our story alone. Just this
morning I spoke with a mother who lost
torney’s fees with the Herold
Law firm during the Land Use
Board hearings as it raised
from fund-raising events. For
fiscal years July 2008 through
2012, their returns indicate they
raised $569,122 at fund-raising
events, not enough to pay
Herold law’s fee of approximately
$1,180,540 - it’s all in the
tax returns.
I urge our Mayor to exercise
more restraint and stop his attacks
on private citizens, which
seem to have become more frequent
of late.
Citizens who exercise their
rights of free speech, whether
to agree or disagree with our
politicians, are contributing to
our democracy. This occurs
throughout our country at all
levels of government without
counter-attacks on private citizens
by their elected representatives,
except here in Peapack-
Gladstone.
I’m concerned at how much
time Mayor Horton is spending
quate recreation facilities for
our children; and to otherwise
maintain and enhance a borough
where our residents can
not only afford to live, but also
retire.
However, in order to accomplish
the foregoing, I placed
myself on as many committees
as possible, in addition to
those such as the Land Use
Board, Office of Emergency
Management and Open Space,
where I am required to serve
by law or borough ordinance.
While attendance at these
meetings is enjoyable and
keeps me informed and ahead
of the curve, they place additional
demands on my available
time.
Time has become a precious
commodity. Linda and I remain
in excellent health, so we
should take advantage of that
blessing.
I have also greatly enjoyed
the ceremonial and other aspects
of the office of mayor,
such as speaking at graduation
ceremonies, performing weddings
and promoting the borough
wherever possible. I was
delighted to learn that legislation
was recently signed which
permits me to continue to conduct
weddings even after I
leave office. I consider it a service
to anyone with a connection
to the borough, no matter how
remote. However, these matters
can also require a substantial
amount of time.
Accordingly, I have decided
to retire from my retirement,
and, as time permits, find other
areas in which I can make a
contribution. I also look forward
to longer walks in the
woods and swims with our lovable
golden retriever, Molly. We
adopted Molly when I retired
from McCarter & English. She
has been my constant companion
in my office, carrying out
her duties as Official Greeter
with great enthusiasm, and
asking only to have her ears
scratched, her back patted, and
an occasional snack.
We should all be so lucky.
Best wishes to all, and thank
you for your support and
friendship.
WILLIAM H. HORTON
Mayor
Peapack-Gladstone
Matheny questions were avoided, he claims
to pen his counter-attacks.
True leadership involves reconsideration
of ones action or
in-action, which in turn requires
listening attentively to
one’s constituents, even when
they disagree.
Finally Mr. Mayor, you might
want to first consider your own
advice the next time you suggest
that a voter pick up the
phone to call you. You recently
refused to call any of the five
candidates for the Land Use
Board that Councilman Bill
Simpson provided to you for
consideration.
Having been at the Jan. 2 reorganization
meeting to hear
you sidestep Councilman Simpson’s
question as to why you did
not call any of those volunteers,
it was clear to me that picking
up the phone to have a meaningful
discussion with you
would be fruitless.
DEAN LURKER
Peapack-Gladstone
her daughter, her only child, to addiction
six years ago. There are too many
of us out there. We are strong believers
that silence only perpetuates the problem.
Hence this response from me.
Somehow, whether directly through
your network, or by other means, we
will reach your audience. Our audience.’’
To her credit, I received this swift response:
“Hi Bill;
“Thank you so very much for your
message. I desperately want to tell your
story and the story of so many other
families. As I mentioned when we first
spoke, this is a very personal issue for
me - we lost a close family friend, a second
brother to me, this past August.
“I absolutely agree with everything
you have said. The producer here is my
boss, and so let me keep working to convince
him. I am with you on this 100 percent.
Let me see what I can do to push
this forward. I promise I am doing
everything in my power as a reporter to
let them know how crucial this is.”
We have not yet set a new date, nor
Matheny doubles down
on lawsuits vs. P-G
EDITOR:
I am one of many who believe
that there are two Mathenys in
Peapack-Gladstone.
First and foremost, there are
the students and patients of the
Matheny Medical and Educational
Center, and those workers
and professionals who serve
them, who enjoy my wholehearted
support.
On the other hand, there is the
legal and public relations machine
in which I am deeply disappointed.
I am increasingly troubled by
the slash and burn tactics employed
by the legal and public relations
machine.
The latest incident occurred
on the Feb. 6, op-ed page of The
Bernardsville News. Mr. Daniel
McLaughlin took to the op-ed
page in response to an op-ed
from Dean Lurker. The previous
week both Mr. Lurker and the
paper brought to the public’s attention
something that was previously
unnoticed: That Matheny’s
PR and legal machine had
taken a happy event – the approval
of the special use permit
for Mansion in May – and used it
as a pretext to file a second discrimination
lawsuit against the
borough.
Mr. McLaughlin’s response
was sharply personal, and betrays
a certain uncharitable hostility
toward the neighbors.
We are well past the moment
where Matheny’s management
should have come up with a new
strategy. The Land Use Board
denied their variance application.
The Superior Court upheld
the Land Use Board.
Matheny certainly has the
right to appeal on the merits, but
why on Earth would they risk
alienating the residents by accusing
the borough of discrimination
both in state and federal
court?
If Matheny is successful in the
next phase of their strategy,
then they will have three separate
legal actions against the
borough.
After the court ruled against
Matheny in November, I had
hoped that management would
change course, and try a new approach.
Instead they have doubled
down on the lawsuits and
have continued the bare-knuckle
approach with their neighbors.
The students, patients, staff
and professionals deserve better,
as do their neighbors.

‘Please shovel snow
around fire hydrants’
EDITOR:
As we all know, during an
emergency every second
counts.
So that our volunteer firefighters
can better serve the
residents of our local communities,
we ask that you please
shovel out the fire hydrant closest
to your home after each
snow storm. If firefighters have
to first locate and then shovel
out fire hydrants, precious time
is wasted and our ability to
quickly establish a water supply
is greatly reduced.
In addition, please ensure
that your house number is
clearly visible. Many house
numbers become obstructed
have I heard any follow up from my new
reporter friend. But the message will go
up the chain and, hopefully, someone
with the power to put the real-life experience
of living with and dying from addiction
front and center.
Maybe he or she will also know firsthand
that our story is precisely the one
to bring in ratings; it is every parent’s
fear and too many parents’ reality.
We shall see.

‘Peace’ is the word at the Albrook School
BERNARDS TWP. – The Albrook
School, which serves children
from 2 to 12 years old, is the
first Montessori educational program
in the state to become an
offical member of Peaceful
Schools International (PSI).
The international non-profit
organization, based in Nova Scotia,
Canada, was founded in 2001
by Hetty Van Gurp, a former
teacher and principal, to support
schools worldwide that make
peacemaking a central focus of
their identity.
More than 300 schools worldwide
are enrolled in PSI, including
the Millstone River Elementary
School in Plainsboro, the
only other school in New Jersey
to belong to the group.
On Friday, Jan. 31, students
marked Albrook’s recognition as
an International Peace Site during
the school’s annual International
Day of Peace, which celebrates
the interconnectedness of
all people by embracing and
showcasing the cultures of the
world through song, music and
food.
Attending the event were various
officials and dignitaries, including
state Sen. Thomas H.
Kean, R-Somerset.
As an International Peace
Site, Albrook is committed to
creating and maintaining a culture
of peace by encouraging its
community members to seek
peace within themselves as well
as in others; reach out in service
with kindness and respect; protect
and respect the planet; embrace
intercultural understanding
and diversity; and be responsible
global citizens.
‘Embracing Peace’
“Embracing Peace” is the
school’s main focus this year.
An array of hands-on geography
materials and a fully developed
curriculum enables the
children to embrace cultures
from around the world and expand
their geographical knowledge.
Preschoolers start their day
with greetings from around the
world during a morning peace
circle.
The elementary students also
begin their day with a peace circle
and address local and worldwide
issues. During this time,
they include and discuss historic
peacemakers such as Gandhi,
Nelson Mandela and Martin
Luther King.
Throughout the year, holidays
and traditions from around the

world are acknowledged and celebrated
at the school.
In addition, students can learn
from presentations on art, music,
cultures and customs.
Each year, the students from
the different age levels work on
projects for community service
both locally and globally. These
projects have included partnering
with the Interfaith Food
Pantry, providing holiday gifts
for children in need, donating
school supplies for children in
Honduras, and raising funds for
the rainforest and endangered
animals.
The school, located on
Somerville Road in Basking
Ridge, opened 34 years ago with
Director Anita Albers’ vision of
providing a caring environment
that inspires a love of learning
while embracing peace education
and building global awareness.
Its mission statement is “we
learn to love the world,” and its
students are encouraged and
guided to become peaceful, respectful
citizens of the world.

BERNARDSVILLE POLICE
Local woman charged
in three-car accident
BERNARDSVILLE – A
Bernards Township woman
was charged with drunken
driving and other offenses after
she was involved in a three-vehicle
accident near Olcott
Square at 6:29 p.m. Thursday,
Feb. 6, according to police.
Police said the woman, Elizabeth
Fleischer, 46, of Lancelot
Lane, was headed north on
Mount Airy Road in a 2009
Lexus XR when she rear-ended
a 2009 Jeep Wrangler that was
stopped for a traffic signal.
The Jeep, operated by Janice
O’Brien, 47, of Dobbs Street,
Bernardsville, was pushed forward
into a 2007 Toyota Yaris
operated by Robert Hamilton,
45, of Guilford, N.C., police
said.
O’Brien and Hamilton were
evaluated for minor injuries
but neither was hospitalized,
police said.
Fleischer, who was in her vehicle
with a 15-year-old, was observed
with watery, bloodshot
eyes, had an odor of alcohol,
and was combative, according
to police. Police said she refused
to perform sobriety tests.
Fleischer was charged with
drunken driving, assault by
auto and second-degree endangerment
involving the 15-yearold,
police said.
Police declined to disclose
whether the minor was related
to Fleischer.
Fleischer was lodged in the
Somerset County Jail in lieu of
$75,000 bail.
The arresting officer was Patrolman
Steven Seiple, with assistance
from Sgt. Jon Paul Tay
and Patrolman Dan Buttel.
Another snow closing
hits school calendars
With another snowstorm of
three to four inches closing the
public schools on Wednesday,
Feb. 5, all three local public
school districts have been forced
to add make-up days.
The districts each reserved
three snow closings in their respective
calendars, but as of
Tuesday, Feb. 11, Bernards
Township had four closings;
Somerset Hills Regional, five;
and Bedminster Township, six.
Yet another possible snow day
loomed for Thursday, Feb. 13, as
forecasts called for several inches
of snow and possibly ice in
the early morning hours.
Somerset Hills Regional and
Bedminster Township will both
make up two days by eliminating
their four-day Presidents’
Day weekend and holding
school on Friday, Feb. 14, and on
Presidents’ Day, Monday, Feb. 17.
Bedminster Township, which
also needed to make up a third
day, plans to get it back by extending
the school year by one
day, to Friday, June 20.
Bernards Township will keep
its four-day Presidents’ Day
weekend intact. Instead, it will
make up a day by holding school
on Friday, April 11, which had
been scheduled as the fifth day
of its week-long spring break.
Superintendent of Schools
Nick Markarian recommended
the move at the Board of Education
meeting Monday night, saying
teachers and parents traditionally
expect any make-up
days to come out of spring
break. He said shortening the
Presidents’ Day weekend would
probably be more disruptive.
If additional snow closings
occur, they would be made up
starting on Thursday, April 10,
and moving forward into the
spring break.
If Somerset Hills Regional
needs more make-ups, it will
take them out of its week-long
spring break, beginning with
Monday, April 14, and moving
forward.
Anne Meany, center, then-interim director of the Bernardsville Public Library, accepts a check from John
Thomas, left, the Bernardsville Library Foundation treasurer, and Jerry Fischer, chairman of the foundation.
Through donations and the “Homes of Distinction” benefit last year, the group donated $100,000
to the library and allocated money to its growing endowment fund.
Library foundation looks to build on success
BERNARDSVILLE – The
Bernardsville Library Foundation
was established in 2011 to be
a source of private funds to enable
the library to operate at a
high level of excellence without
regard to the ebb and flow of public
funding.
Since then, it has raised tens of
thousands of dollars to help pay
for basic operating expenses as
well as start a library endowment
to generate income in perpetuity.
The foundation’s 2013 fundraising
campaign was successful,
especially because of two major
BERNARDS TWP. – A dance for
sixth, seventh and eighth graders
will be held in the Saint James
School gymnasium on South Finley
Avenue in Basking Ridge from
7 to 10 p.m. on Friday Feb. 21. Admission
is $10 per person. The
Knights of Columbus host this
dance once a month throughout
the school year. The proceeds
from these dances are donated to
various charities, including St.
James School, the Bethel Ridge
home, the Veterans of Foreign
Wars (VFW), St. James Church
and other local non-profit organizatins.

grants of $15,000 and $25,000 from
anonymous donors.
Their contributions, ticket
sales for the annual “Homes of
Distinction” event in May, and
many individual donations
throughout the year, allowed the
foundation to make a total gift of
$100,000 to the library as well as
to allocate money to the growing
endowment fund.
“Sincere thanks to all those
who generously contributed,”
said Jerry Fischer, outgoing
chairman of the foundation
board. “The library is a muchloved
jewel of our community
and makes a tremendous difference
in the lives of many people
who depend on it and use it.”
In 2014, the Bernardsville Library
Foundation plans a new appeal
and a series of events to
raise money and draw attention
to need for private funding for
both library operating costs and
additional allocations to the endowment.
Its five-year goal is to
raise a total of $1,000,000 by 2018,
with special recognition for
“Platinum Patrons,” those who
donate $1,000 or more.

Vanderveer House presents
Pluckemin Cantonment finds
The Friends of the Jacobus
Vanderveer House will host a free
presentation about the Pluckemin
Cantonment, site of the nation’s
first military training academy,
at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 16, at the
Jacobus Vanderveer House and
Museum, 955 Route 202/206,
Bedminster Township.
John Seidel, director of the
Center for the Environment &
Society at Washington College
in Chestertown, Md., and lead
archaeologist on the Pluckemin
Archaeological Project, will
present a 3D visualization of
the Pluckemin Artillery Cantonment.
The one-hour presentation
will also highlight the significance
of the cantonment to
the Continental Army, its abandonment
and discovery in the
1970s, and the wealth of discovered
artifacts.
“Lacking the presence of a
physical site to visit, the
Friends of the Jacobus Vanderveer
House felt it was important
to use digital technology to
tell the story of America’s first
military academy, the remarkable
leadership of Gen. Henry
Knox and Somerset County’s
central role in the American
CAITLIN JOAN RUNDLE and
RYAN PATRICK JOYCE
Revolution,” said Sean Blinn,
president of the Friends of the
Jacobus Vanderveer House
Board of Trustees.
Working with Dr. Seidel, historical
geographer Stewart
Bruce, other historians, and
students at Washington College,
the Friends authorized the use
of mapping software to create a
3D visualization of the lost
Pluckemin cantonment in a series
of digital animations.
The visualization of the 1778-
79 cantonment depicts buildings,
such as officers’ quarters,
armorers’ shop, tin smith’s
shop, and more, as well as the
physical materials, tools and daily
activities of life on the site.
The virtual cantonment is
presented on-site at the museaum,
and excerpts are posted on
the museum’s website and Facebook
page. For more information
and a sneek peek at how
history meets high-tech in
telling the story of Pluckemin’s
long lost cantonment, visit:
http://www.jvanderveerhouse.org/.
Funding support for the 3D
visualization was provided by
two recent grant awards: a

JOYCE S. ARIYAN
75, devoted health care
executive and volunteer,
lived in Basking Ridge
Joyce S. Ariyan, 75, of Pompano,
Fla., formerly of the Basking
Ridge section of Bernards
Township, passed away on Saturday,
Feb. 8, 2014, surrounded
by family.
Her peaceful rest came following
a long and brave battle with
cancer. She will be greatly
missed by her three sons, their
wives, her 10 grandchildren, other
family members and many
dear friends.
She and her late husband, the
beloved Levon M. Ariyan, moved
their family in 1972 to Basking
Ridge, where she remained a resident
until 2011.
The former Joyce Tarpinian,
she was born in 1938 in Detroit,
Mich., to Manuel and Arshalous
Kassabian Tarpinian, Armenian
immigrants and genocide
survivors.
Following her graduation
from high school, she began a career
in caring for others which
spanned more than 50 years.
She initially became a registered
nurse, then went on to teach
nursing at Muhlenberg Hospital
in Plainfield.
She was graduated with high
honors from Drew University
and earned her master of business
administration (MBA) degree
from Fairleigh Dickinson
University. The combination of
a business education and strong
medical knowledge led to a successful
career in the pharmaceutical
field, where she rose to
the level of director at the Ortho
Pharmaceutical Division of
Johnson & Johnson.
Following her retirement
from Johnson & Johnson, Mrs.
Ariyan became the executive director
of the Mind, Body Medical
Institute for Atlantic Health
Systems of New Jersey. Thereafter,
in her continuing passion
to assist others, she volunteered
with hospice care, with the Visiting
Nurse Association (VNA),
and as a substitute nurse in the
local elementary schools.
As a devout humanitarian and
Christian, her greatest passion
was her insatiable desire to help
others. Throughout her life, she
volunteered for many relief organizations
and dedicated the
majority of her time to the service
of others.
Mrs. Ariyan assisted people in
the United States and around the
world through the American
Red Cross Disaster Relief and
Habitat for Humanity, and with
mission trips to build homes for
the needy in Mexico and in her
beloved ancestral homeland of
Armenia.
Without hesitation, she played
a key role in spearheading corporate
pharmaceutical relief to
Armenia after the devastating
earthquake in 1988. Following
the unprecedented domestic destruction
caused by Hurricane
Katrina, she spent weeks providing
care and relief efforts in
the most devastated area of the
Gulf region.
Even in her final weeks, she
remained actively involved in organizations
that upheld the Armenian-American
virtues she
held dear - family, faith, and patriotism.
It was one day during her
younger years as a nurse, that an
elderly Armenian patient insisted
on introducing her to a “nice,
handsome Armenian young
man.” She would ultimately
marry that man, Levon Ariyan.
After a number of years, the
couple would settle in Basking
Ridge and raise three sons as
loving and actively involved parents.
This active involvement was
not limited to their local community.
They also became leaders
at St. Mary Armenian
Church in Livingston. While at
St. Mary, Mrs. Ariyan was a volunteer
in both the Sunday
school and Armenian school.
She was a member of the 3Ms,
Young People’s Auxiliary, and
sang in the church choir.
Her strong Christian faith was
always the cornerstone of her
life. She traveled on church missions
in the U.S., as well as to Armenia
and Jerusalem.
In 1992, after 27 years of marriage,
her husband Levon passed
away following a long illness.
She spent years caring for him
with unyielding angelic grace.
In spite of this challenge, she
continued to be her family’s pillar
of strength, keeping her boys
closely together and ensuring
the successful completion of
their educations. Only after
helping each of her children
launch their careers did she retire
from corporate work and focus
solely on charity.
Over the last two decades Mrs.
Ariyan saw her family grow as
her sons started families of their
own. Her greatest joy in life became
her beloved grandchildren.
They will undoubtedly
learn from the example she set
as a woman of character, compassion
and faith.
She is survived by her sons,
Joseph of Ramsey, Haig of West
Nyack, N.Y., and Levon of Martinsville,
and their wives, Susan,
Nadine and Laura, respectively;
her 10 grandchildren; her dear
friend, Joseph “Pappa Joe” Mc-
Culla of Pompano Beach, Fla.; a
brother, Haig Tarpinian, and sister-in-law,
Beverly Tarpinian, of
Boca Raton, Fla.; a sister,
Dorothy Tarpinian of Detroit,
Mich.; and her brother-in-law
and sister-in-law, Zaven and
Janet Ariyan of Westwood.
“She continued to touch and
impact those who met her, literally
to her last day with us. She
should serve as an example of
humanity, compassion and caring
to others. May she rest in
peace and be comforted in arms
of the Lord for eternity,” stated
her family.
Visitation will be from 2 to 4
p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. on
Thursday, Feb. 13, at St. Mary Armenian
Church, 200 W. Mount
Pleasant Ave., Livingston.
A funeral service will be held
at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 14, at
the church, followed by interment
at Somerset Hills Memorial
Park, Basking Ridge.
Arrangements are by the
Gallaway and Crane Funeral
Home in Basking Ridge. For
more information please call the
funeral home at (908) 766-0250; or
to light an online condolence
candle visit www.gcfuneralhome.com.
In lieu of flowers, the family
requests that donations in her
memory be made to the Armenian
Church Endowment
Fund, 630 Second Ave., New
York, N.Y., 10016; or at acefinvest.org.

engineer, volunteer
David Reis Weller, 93, of Menlo
Park, formerly of
Bernardsville, passed away
peacefully on Saturday, Feb. 8,
2014, of natural causes.
Mr. Weller lived on Seney

2002, when he moved to a continuing
care facility.
He was born May 23, 1920, in
Dayton, Ohio, to Jay Arthur
Weller and Hilda Lommel
Weller and was raised in Dayton
with three brothers and two
sisters.
He was graduated from Ohio
University in Athens, Ohio,
with a bachelor of arts degree
in electrical engineering. He
met his wife, Philippa Lee
Weller, a dietician graduate
there, and they were married
July 31, 1943, in Athens, Ohio.
After graduation, Mr. Weller
joined the Army during World
War II and worked on some of
the first radar stations in San
Luis Oispo, Calif.
After leaving the Army, he
held a number of electrical engineering
positions, including
vice president of engineering
at Mountain System, Inc., until
joining Bell Labs of Murray
Hill in 1962. He had a long and
wonderful career there as head
of a research group.
He held a number of patents
and his group was the first to
engineer voice recognition and
voice generation for the phone
company.
After retiring from Bell Labs,
which became Bell Core in
1990, he volunteered for 10
years at the Matheny Medical
and Educational Center in Peapack-Gladstone.
He was the recipient of many
awards for volunteerism, including
the 1994 Governor’s
Volunteer Award and, in 1997,
The Bernardsville News Centennial
Award for Outstanding
Service.
He had a big heart and for
two weeks every summer for 10
years, he hosted a young man
from Harlem, N.Y., named
Leroy McDonald. Mr. McDonald
was and still is considered
part of the family.
He was religiously devout
and was a member for nearly 40
years of St. Bernard’s Episcopal
Church in Bernardsville.

at
St.
Bernard’s
for more
than 30

Latter-day Saints. Later that
day he was confirmed by his
oldest son, David P. Weller.
Mr. Weller loved his family,
children and dogs.
He belonged to the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, the
world’s largest professional
engineering association.
He enjoyed spending time
at his vacation homes in Vermont
and Cape Cod. He was a
very kind and gentle father,
husband, and leader, wellloved
by his family and
everyone he worked with.

Healthy LIFESTYLES
What you should know about age-related macular degeneration
By LAWRENCE V. NAJARIAN, M.D.
Unlike fine wine, your vision
rarely improves with age. In fact,
age-related macular degeneration
is the leading cause of severe
vision loss in people over 60. It
occurs when the small central
portion of the retina, known as
the macula, deteriorates.
The macula makes up only a
small part of the retina, yet it is
much more sensitive to detail
than the peripheral retina. The
macula allows you to thread a
needle, read small print and view
street signs, while the peripheral
retina gives you side, or peripheral,
vision. Macular degeneration
is almost never a totally blinding
condition, but it can be a source
of significant visual disability.
Symptoms of Macular
Degeneration: Many people are
not aware that they have macular
degeneration until they have a
noticeable vision problem or
until it is detected during an eye
examination. The first symptom
is usually a dim, blurry spot in the
middle of your vision. This spot
may get bigger or darker over
time. Other symptoms include
diminished or changed color perception,
distorted vision and difficulty
recognizing people’s faces.
There are two main types of
age-related macular degeneration:
The “dry” form of macular
degeneration is characterized by
the presence of yellow deposits,
called drusen, in the macula. A
few small drusen may not cause
changes in vision. However, as
they grow in size and increase in
number, they may lead to a dimming
or distortion of vision that
people find most noticeable when
they read. In more advanced
stages of dry macular degeneration,
there is also a thinning of the
light-sensitive layer of cells in the
macula leading to atrophy, or tissue
death. Patients may have
blind spots in the center of their
vision, and in advanced stages,
may lose central vision.
The “wet” form of macular
degeneration is characterized by
the growth of abnormal blood
vessels from the choroid underneath
the macula. These blood
vessels leak blood and fluid into
the retina, causing distortion of
vision that makes straight lines
Traveling 50 miles
for the right medical care
Peapack is nearly 50 miles north
of Red Bank, but Ana Congo, a 27-
year-old with cerebral palsy and associated
behavioral issues, makes
that trip regularly to receive primary
medical and women’s health
care at the Matheny Center of Medicine
and Dentistry, the outpatient
clinic of the Matheny Medical and
Educational Center.
“Ana,” her mother Nancy explains,
“has real fears of anybody
medical. She has a lot of anxiety.
Matheny is very well equipped to
handle all of that – not just the
physical but the emotional. So, that
makes the trip worth it right there.”
The Congo family moved to Red
Bank from the Boston area about
13 years ago and had trouble finding
a medical facility nearby that
could effectively treat Ana. “Most
doctors don’t understand,” says
Nancy. “The reason why I like Matheny
is because the staff there understands
her unique needs. I’ve
wasted a lot of time going to other
hospitals.”
Most health providers have little
experience caring for individuals
with developmental and intellectual
disabilities, who may have difficulties
communicating “what
hurts” without the help of an interpreter
or assistive technology. At
the Matheny Center of Medicine
and Dentistry, the integrated team
of specialists seamlessly connects
with patients to address and calm
their concerns.
As primary care physician Christine
P. Mand, M.D., explains, “There
is a culture of disability here. Our
patients receive the same care as if
they went to a regular medical center,
but they feel comfortable when
they’re here.” Nancy Congo agrees.
“When Ana arrives for an appointment,”
she says, “she’s very nervous.
By the time she’s done, she’s
all happy and throwing kisses.”
Boomers and high tech
The following is provided by
Brandpoint, formerly ARA Content.
Generation X and Millennials
get credit for being the most
tech-savvy generations, but a
growing group of baby boomers
are demonstrating that the generation
gap has nothing to do
with digital know-how. Folks 50
and older are embracing technology
to help them age more
gracefully than ever.
Whether they're using devices to
hear better in challenging situations,
or social media to reconnect with
friends they've not seen since high
school, baby boomers are demonstrating
they're not afraid to use
technology to make life easier.
In our noisy, fast-paced society
we commonly encounter many situations
- such as a business meeting,
family gathering or phone call - in
which hearing may be difficult, even
for people who don't need a specialized
hearing aid. Savvy boomers
are using a Bluetooth-enabled amplification
device to discretely improve
volume and clarity in a variety
of challenging environments. Personal
Sound Amplifiers from Sound
World Solutions look like any other
sleek, high-tech mobile phone headset,
but also provide amplification
boomers can easily adjust and control
themselves. Users can choose
between three preset amplification
settings or use a smartphone app to
personalize the device.
look wavy, as well as blind spots
and loss of central vision. These
abnormal blood vessels eventually
scar, leading to permanent loss
of central vision.
The good news is that most
patients with macular degeneration
have the dry form of the disease
and will not lose central
vision. However, the dry form of
macular degeneration can lead to
the wet form. Although only
about 10 percent of people with
macular degeneration develop
the wet form, they make up the
majority of those who experience
serious vision loss from the disease.
Risk Factors for Macular
Degeneration: If someone in your
family has or had macular degeneration,
you may be at higher risk
for developing the disease.
Other risk factors include smoking,
high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, and obesity. If you
have these risk factors, it is
important to have regular eye
exams.
Diagnosis and treatment:
Fortunately, age-related macular
degeneration can be detected in a
routine eye exam While there is
no cure, treatment may prevent
severe vision loss or slow the progression
of the disease considerably.
Treatment options include
medications, vitamin supplements,
laser therapy, surgical procedures
and low vision aids that
help patients make the most of
their remaining vision.
The American Academy of
Ophthalmology has designated
February as Age-Related Macular
Degeneration Month. For more

degeneration, its risk factors,
symptoms and treatment, stop by

Yaron A. Moshel, MD, Ph.D., recently
joined Atlantic NeuroSurgical
Specialists (ANS), making him
the 11th neurosurgeon on staff for
the practice.
Dr. Moshel joins ANS from
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
where he was an assistant professor
of neurosurgery.
Dr. Moshel is known in the medical
community for his approach to
removing brain tumors.
“Many surgeons are hesitant to
remove a tumor if it’s too close to
eloquent brain structures that control
vision, language, body movements,
or other higher cognitive
powers that would result in a significant
loss of function,” says Dr.
Moshel.
“My approach is different. I map
out critical structures of the brain
to avoid these areas. By doing this,
I am able to remove all or most of
the tumor otherwise considered inoperable.
This makes a huge difference
in the patient’s outcome.” Dr.
In an AARP survey of New Jersey
residents over age 50, 84 percent
of respondents said they
would prefer to age in place in the
comfort of their own home.

Bernardsville Library to host
Saturday Crafters on Feb. 15
BERNARDSVILLE – Saturday
Crafters, a monthly craft group,
will meet at 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb.
15, in the Bernardsville Public
Library, 1 Anderson Hill Road.
Individuals are invited to
bring their own handwork projects
and work together in a comfortable,
communal setting
while enjoying the benefits of
shared tips and conversation.
They also can take advantage
of the many books available at
the library on different types of
crafts.
Evelyn Fischel, public relations
assistant at the library, will
showcase project ideas and
books at each meeting. A longtime
crafter, Fischel will encourage
such interests as knitting,
crocheting, paper arts, hand
sewing, embroidery and other
needlework, as well as any other
craft the group wishes to cover.
There is no charge to attend
the meeting, and no sign-up is
needed.
For more information, call the
library at (908) 766-0118.
Moshel uses technology including
computer-guided navigation,
awake functional brain mapping,
endoscopy, and microsurgery.
There are only a select few surgeons
nationally who specialize in
removing some of these deep-seated
brain tumors.
Dr. Moshel has many clinical interests
and his neurosurgical ability
extends beyond the treatment of
brain tumors. He specializes in the
surgical treatment of skull base, pituitary,
and spine tumors using the
latest techniques in computer-guided
surgical navigation, minimally
invasive endoscopy, microsurgery,
and stereotactic radiosurgery. He
also has expertise in the surgical
treatment of epilepsy and in minimally
invasive treatment of trigeminal
neuralgia.
Dr. Moshel also maintains an active
clinical practice in cervical
spine surgery, Chiari malformations,
degenerative spine disease,
and minimally invasive spine surgery.

“Dr. Moshel brings so much to
the ANS practice,” says Marketing
Director Tom Wood. “ANS is
known for its ability to be superspecialized
and Dr. Moshel adds a
tremendous amount of value with
his subspecialized training in functional
brain mapping and skull base
surgery.”
Dr. Moshel remarked how unusual
it is to see a practice set-up
such as ANS. He was drawn to the
organization and how it mimics
what a high-level academic neurosurgical
department would have in
place. “ANS is able to take this ideal
level of super-specialized care
and make it a reality for patients.”
ANS, a neurosurgical powerhouse,
is the largest private neurosurgical
practice in NJ. In practice
for over 50 years, ANS has paved
the way for patients to receive the
most groundbreaking treatments
for all of their neurosurgical
needs.
Their sub-specialized team of
surgeons allows patients to receive
a comprehensive approach
with expertise specific to each patient’s
condition.
ANS is also the leader in stroke
treatment in New Jersey and leads
the stroke rescue teams at the 3
major comprehensive stroke centers
in the state.
Dr. Moshel has participated in
thousands of cases and he prides
himself on following his patients
from the simplest operation to the
most complex cases. “I love taking
care of my patients and I remind
them that every day is precious,”

Tax preparation help available at B’ville Library
BERNARDSVILLE – Volunteer
Income Tax Assistance volunteers
will be available to help
community residents with
their 2013 state and federal tax
returns during the month of
February at the Bernardsville
Public Library, 1 Anderson
Hill Road.
Over the years, many people
have taken advantage of this
service; to make an appointment,
call the library at (908)
766-0118. A translator also is
available for Spanish-speaking
residents.
In addition to personal appointments
at the library,
there are other ways to get
help with taxes, according to
Robert Baker, coordinator of
the program.
“There is easy-to-use online
software that is perfect for people
who have simple returns
and are comfortable using a
computer,” he said. “It’s offered
through United Way,
which partners with MyFree-
Taxes to provide community
members with a free online
service to do their federal and
state taxes from their personal
computer.”
Families and individuals
with a combined income under
$58,000 in 2013 are qualified to
use
www.MyFreeTaxes.com/UnitedWayOfNorthernNewJersey.
Help while filing a return is
available by calling 1-855-My-
Tx-Help (1-855-698-9435), where
callers will be connected with
a qualified tax volunteer who
can answer questions. This
helpline is open from 10 a.m. to
10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Baker also is seeking experienced
tax preparers who have
time on their hands to help out
this year.
The program requires only a
few hours a week for about
eight weeks. Volunteers will
receive training from specialists
to refresh their knowledge
of the subject.
Those interested in volunteering
should call Madelyn English, the library’s
adult program manager, at

BERNARDS HIGH SCHOOL’S GIRLS BASKETBALL
Grand Accomplishment
Bernards’ Sarah Ryan reaches 1,000-point milestone
By KELLY FENTON
SPORTS EDITOR
Photo by Amy Baratta
Teammates and coach Sandy Whelan celebrate with Sarah Ryan, second from left, after
the Bernards High School junior scored her 1,000th career point Monday night.
BERNARDSVILLE – There was an
undeniably festive air coupled with a
buzz of anticipation on Monday
evening in the Bernards High School
gym. And none of it had anything to
do with the midseason 63-45 victory
over 4-12 North Plainfield.
No, students, family and fans were
there to see if this would be the night
Sarah Ryan would become the eighth
Mountaineer in Bernards High
School basketball history to reach the
1,000-point plateau. As for Ryan herself
? She admitted afterward the
whole thing was sort of a distraction,
but you sure couldn’t tell it from the
stands.
Rather than try to force the issue,
the junior sensation merely played
within the flow of the game. Sitting at
998 points and with an open 12 footer
along the right baseline late in the first
period, Ryan delivered not the potential
milestone shot but rather a looping
pass over a Canuck defender for an
easy Maddie Fairhurst layup.
“I think that speaks to Sarah’s character,”
said first-year Bernards coach
Sandy Whelan. “She doesn’t score just
to score points; she scores to help her
teammates win. She wants her teammates
to succeed; she wants to feed the
ball to different players. She’s not selfish
in the least. She’s just a great team
player and that play speaks exactly to
who she is.”
It came with 4:51 to play in the first
half and it was, fittingly, a signature
Ryan bucket. Taking a pass into the
A banner displays the name of junior Sarah Ryan to the Bernards High School

RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL TRACK
Ridge girls have field day in
winning their 3rd sectional title
BERNARDS TWP. - The 3,200 contingent
was already on the course when the word
came in that Ridge High School would need
only 18 points and not 20 to seal the North 2,
Group 4 Indoor Track sectional on Saturday.
Eighteen points is precisely what Sarah
Spring, Regan Asay and Sophie Spring delivered
and that was just enough to close out
Columbia High, 76-73, for Ridge's third indoor
sectional championship. Ridge rallied
from a deep deficit over the final events for
their first title since 2009.
"It's the order of events that kind of determine
these things," said Ridge coach
Tim Mooney of the Red Devils' comeback.
"The girls were just focusing on the task at
hand. When (the 3,200 runners) were on the
course, the results from the 55 meters came
in and Columbia hadn't done quite as well
as we thought. But we had given them the
benefit of the doubt so we were looking for
20 points going in."
Sarah Spring finished second in the event
in 11:53.44, while Regan Asay was third
(11:56.24) and Sophie Spring fourth
(11:56.61), and those 18 points put Ridge far
enough ahead that Columbia's expected win
in the 4x400 still wouldn't be enough.
Ridge dominated the field events, outpointing
Columbia 42-0 and getting an indi-

but his prospects as an offensive

Those prospects
came to fruition throughout remarkable

halfback, wideout and defensive
back Nick Franzese is taking his
considerable talents to Lafayette
College in Easton, Pa.
Ridge quarterback/defensive
back Conor Hughes will play for
Elon, while tight end/defensive
end Ryan Bell heads to Villanova.
All three are listed as preferred
walk-ons.
“All three of those guys were
very hard workers,” said Ridge
coach Bill Tracy. “And they were
also very talented on the field.
They offered tremendous
matchup problems for our opponents
on offense, defense and
special teams.”
Despite a 5-7 mark a year ago,
the Leopards won the Patriot
League Championship. With an
offense that collected nearly
three-quarters of its total yards
through the air last season,
Lafayette should be well suited
to the fleet-footed and sure-handed
Franzese’s skills.

AREA HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY
Bernards, Ridge skate to 1-1 tie as Skyland Cup nears
By KELLY FENTON
SPORTS EDITOR
The 1-1 tie had different meanings
for the two teams involved. For Ridge
High School, which ran its unbeaten
string to eight games, it was just another
hard-hitting, low-scoring Skyland
Conference test. For the
Bernards-Somerville High School
hockey team it was yet more evidence
that this team’s 3-14-4 record is a poor
indication of its true potential.
“It’s been a rough season,” said
Bernards goalie Coleman Merchant
following the contest at Rock Ice Pavilion
on Friday night. “We’ve had a lot of
really close losses. We’re not getting
down. We know we’re in all the games.
It’s usually one little play that decides
them. I think we’re all still having
fun.”
Unfortunately for the Mountaineers,
the tie with the second-place Red Devils
was followed by yet another close
loss, this one 4-3 to Hillsborough on
Saturday. That loss left Bernards stuck
in seventh place behind Montgomery
and Hillsborough. Ridge, meanwhile,
climbed to within two points of leagueleading
Bridgwater-Raritan and four
points clear of third-place Hunterdon
Central.
“They’re goalie played good,” said
Ridge head coach Tim Mullin. “We
outshot them (31-19) but their goalie
kept them in it so good for them. It’s a
Skyland game on the road and they’re
always tough. Bernards is a team
that’s coming together.”
Bernards, which has struggled to
score goals this season (just 33 goals in
20 games), got the equalizer on Kieren
Quinn’s shot from beyond the right
circle during a two-man Mountaineer
advantage with 1:31 left in the second
period. The goal came off assists from
Curtis McGriskin and Tim Sheats.
Mark McGriskin and Oliver Bech-
Hansen each had chances over the final
eight minutes to put Bernards over
the top but Ridge goalie Drew Taveroni
made key stops. Hansen had a one-onone
with eight minutes remaining and
McGriskin took a pass from John Murphy
on an outlet and also found himself
face to face with Taveroni. Both
times the Ridge junior was able to
make the game-saving stop. Taveroni
made 14 saves and Sean Sweeney four
for the Red Devils.
“He stopped the breakaway, that was
the big thing,” Mullins said.
Said first-year Bernards coach Joe
Bennett: “That’s kind of been the story
of our season. We’ve been a little
snake-bitten offensively. The defense

BERNARDS HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL
Bernards boys stunned after holding 17-point lead
BERNARDSVILLE – It’s bad enough to
lose. The sting is even more severe when
you play nearly flawless basketball for
two-and-a-half quarters, run up a 17-point
lead … and lose.
Those were the circumstances on Monday
afternoon at North Plainfield as
Bernards High School put on a first-half
clinic, then got steamrolled by 16-0 run
over a five-minute span of the second half
as the Canuck defensive pressure took its
toll and Bernards became more and more
tentative on the offensive end.
All told, North Plainfield (9-6) scored 26
of the final 32 points to stun Bernards 51-
48. Bernards lost despite shooting better
than 60 percent, while knocking down 7 of
13 three-pointers.
But nine second-half turnovers — compared
to only three for North Plainfield –
and some suddenly spotty Mountaineer defense
allowed the Canucks to rally in a hurry.
Though J.P. Tantleff stopped the run
with a 12-foot bank shot in the lane, North
Plainfield answered with a baseline drive
to get the lead back to one with 4:14 left in
the game. The loss negated another outstanding
performance for newcomer
Michael Isselin, who hit a three with 3:48
left to extend the lead to 47-43. Isselin finished
with 15 points and three assists.
Doug DeMarrais, who must have felt he
was in a boxing match rather than a basketball
game after twice going to the floor
with injuries in the final period, hit 1 of 2
free throws as the Mountaineers still held
a 48-45 lead with 1:41 left. But a Canuck
three with 1:12 left finally got North Plainfield
even at 48-48 and Bernards turned it
over with 57 seconds remaining.
The Canucks ran all but the final four
seconds off the clock and got penetration
and a dish to the baseline for the go-ahead
and game-winning bucket. Bernards’ final
hope was dashed when an attempted courtlength
inbounds pass hit the partition
above center court and the Mountaineers
fell to 7-11.
Bernards appeared to have this one well
in hand when it expanded a 29-18 halftime
lead to 34-18 on a DeMarrais three and a
Tantleff baseline drive in the opening minutes
of the third period. Even after the
Canucks knocked down a three and scored
inside, Bernards answered with a DeMarrais
fast-break layup and a David Weiber
basket inside off a Luke Bowerbank feed
that had the Mountaineers enjoying their
largest lead at 42-25 with 2:41 left in the
third.
Then, three straight turnovers helped
spark the Canucks’ 16-0 run that turned the
game upside down on Bernards.
The Mountaineers used crisp passing,
sharp back cuts and sharp shooting get
control of this one in the opening half.
North Plainfield briefly led 8-7 when De-
Marrais’s spinning four-footer and a threepointer
and a driving bucket by Isselin
gave Bernards a 14-8 lead after one period,
one they would hold onto until four seconds
remained in the game.
A technical foul resulted in two Isselin
free throws and Wieber scored off a backcut
and feed from Isselin to eventually expand
the lead to 14. North Plainfield went
on a 6-0 run but Wieber wrested momentum
back for Bernards when he hit a threepointer
at the buzzer and Bernards took a
29-18 lead into intermission.
North Plainfield made only 8 of 22 shots
in the first half but pounded it inside with
nifty drives and passes to knock down 14 of
27 shots in the second half, launching 14
more attempts after intermission than the
Mountaineers. The Canucks turned it over
only five times, allowing them to enjoy a 49-
30 field-goal attempt edge.
Wieber finished with 14 points, while
DeMarrais added eight points, eight rebounds
and four assists and Tantleff eight
points and three assists. Bowerbank dished
out five assists and hit a three for his three
points.
Bernards 43, Del Val 42 – On Jan. 6, De-
Marrais hit his third game-winning three
of the season and finished with 13 points.
Wieber also had 13 and Isselin 10 as
Bernards knocked down eight threes.
Bridgewater-Raritan 60, Bernards 39 –
On Saturday, the Mountaineers were
bounced from the Somerset County Tournament
by the fifth-seeded Panthers despite
raining in nine threes. DeMarrais
had nine points, and Isselin and Wieber
eight apiece.

hasn’t been an issue. The goalie certainly
hasn’t been an issue. We just haven’t
put the puck in the net as much as we
wanted to. But I’m happy with the effort.
If we’d lost by four and it was the same
effort I’d still be proud of them.”
The Red Devils had a great opportunity
of their own down the stretch when
Ian Solomon flicked a perfect pass from
behind the end line out front to Dan
Giberna during a power play. The execution
was on the money but Merchant
was able to get his pads down for the
close-in save with 1:20 left in the game.
Ridge (10-5-5) scored its goal off a power
play just three minutes into the second
period. Tim Knightly rifled a shot
over the goal that caromed off the back
boards and right to Solomon near the
right post. Solomon merely flicked the
puck softly toward the net and Merchant,
fighting to get back into position
following Knightly’s shot, had it deflect
off his skates for a 1-0 lead.
“It was one of those goals,” Merchant
said. “He just tapped it in. But we came
back and played solid in the third period.”
Bernards best offensive period was
the second, when it launched nine of its
19 shots.
The Mountaineers had not played
since a 3-1 victory over Montgomery on
Jan. 29, when Sheats, Hansen and Mason
Tannebaum each had a goal and Merchant
stopped 25 of 26 shots. Also in January,
Bernards edged Watchung Hills 1-0
and, more impressively, played firstplace
Bridgewater-Raritan to a 3-3 tie.
“Our guys are confident,” Bennett
said. “Maybe you wouldn’t think they
would be with the record we have but
we’ve tied both top teams in the conference
and know we can pay with anybody.
We’re playing our best hockey right now
and are as excited as a three-win team in
early February can be.”
This season, Bernards-Somerville
moved from the New Jersey Ice Hockey
League, which it won last season, into
the Skyland Conference, one of the top
two or three leagues in the state. That
suits Merchant and Bennett just fine.
“That’s the way you like it,” Bennett
said. “Especially when it comes to the
playoffs. You want to be battle-tested and
not come in having beaten everyone 10-0,
or the opposite. Every game is fun and
exciting and tight and that’s going to
help us in the end.”
For Merchant, the key to playing in this
league is just being ready to go every
night.
“That’s the toughest thing is just getting
prepared,” said the junior goalie,
who has recorded a .906 save percentage
in 2014. “You have to bring the consistency
every single night. There are no
games you can take a night off in this
conference.”

with North Plainfield on Monday night in Bernardsville.

amazing feeling to accomplish it with
my teammates that I’ve grown up with
and with all the support I’ve had from
them.”
Ryan would go on to score 25 points
and add 12 rebounds, four steals and
two assists and Bernards improved to
10-9 after bouncing back from a good
showing in a loss to Montgomery on
Saturday in the Somerset County
Tournament. Maddie Fairhurst had a
breakout game with 13 rebounds and
eight points. Twelve of those rebounds
came in the second half. Freshman
Caroline Baratta chipped in 15 points,
seven steals and four assists.
“Maddie had her best game of the
season,” Whelan said. “I told her she
needed to get back to what she does
best, which is rebound, and that’s
what she did. I’m really proud of Maddie.”
Whether it was the distraction of
Ryan’s quest or just some absurdly hot
shooting by North Plainfield, Bernards
found itself trailing throughout most
of the second period. The Canucks hit
their first five three-point attempts and
led by five on three occasions and by
six with 2:11 left in the half. But Laura
Galli’s bucket inside sparked a 6-0 run
that finally tied it at 30-30 on Baratta’s
15-footer on the baseline. North Plainfield
led 32-30 at halftime.
“I think in the beginning it was a distraction,”
Ryan said. “And before the
game I was so nervous. Once I got in
the game I wasn’t even thinking about
it. I think my teammates were really

Plainfield.
excited for me. They wanted it as much
as I did so I think it was definitely a distraction.
We were may a little over-excited.”
Added Whelan: “With everything going
on and everyone so excited I think
even unconsciously we were on the offensive
end trying to get her the points.
I don’t think we adjusted our offense,
but we forgot our mainstay, which is
defense. At halftime we talked about
our goal of giving up 40 points a game
and we had already given up 32. We
came out with a different level of intensity.”
Ryan’s bucket inside 15 seconds into
the third period followed by Galli’s
runner in the lane put Bernards up 34-
32 and it never trailed again. The outcome
remained in doubt when a
Canuck putback had North Plainfield
still within five points with 2:35 left in
the third period. But Fairhurst put
back her own miss to launch an 11-0
run. Bernards out-rebounded North
Plainfield 25-18 in the second half and
scored five times off stickbacks.
Galli finished with eight points, four
steals and three assists and Andra
Scaliti added four points, five rebounds
and three steals.
But the night, when all was said and
done, belonged to Ryan.
“I think this year she has more scorers
around her and that takes some of
the pressure off,” Whelan said. “And
the team chemistry is really coming together
and that’s a fun environment for
her along with winning. I just think it’s
more fun for her. But she just has such
a great court sense and is a great scorer
who knows how to rebound and get
putbacks and drive to the basket.”
While Ryan was basking in the glow
of her accomplishment, she was already
looking ahead to the next potential
1,000-point Mountaineer – freshman
Caroline Baratta, who is already
one-fifth of the way there.
“I’m so excited for Caroline,” Ryan
said. “I can’t wait to come back and see
her when she does it. She’ll definitely
get a thousand.”

BERNARDS HIGH SCHOOL FENCING
Coury, Buteau lead Mountaineers into Elite 8
BERNARDSVILLE — The
Bernards High School girls fencing
team lived up to the state’s
No. 2 ranking by smothering
Montclair 17-10 in the first round
of the Sweet 16 Tournament on
Feb. 6 behind a 9-0 sweep by the
Foil Squad.
Leading the way with 3-0 foil
performances were Kristen
Coury and Caitlin Buteau. The
saber line also came to play, with
captain Jenna Barton and Junior
Amberley Williams picking
up a pair of wins each.
Bernards fenced Mendham in
the Elite 8 on Tuesday after
newspaper deadlines.
“It was very important for us
to get the opening-round behind
us,” said Bernards coach Vince
Paragano. “We know that Mendham
is very good and that we
will need to put out a very strong
effort to get past them. Our players
know a lot of their girls from
club play and from National
tournaments. This will be a very
tense meet.”
The next night the Lady
Mountaineers returned to the
strip to confront Skylands Conference
rival Hunterdon Central.
Bernards prevailed again 22-5
with an 8-1 advantage in épée
and a 7-2 advantage in saber.
JoAnn Porter led the épée line
with three wins. The dual meet
victory raised Bernards season
dual meet record to 14-0 as it continued
its undefeated streak in
Skylands Conference play.
Bernards concludes its 2014 Skylands
Conference schedule with
matches (last Monday night)
against North Hunterdon and
next Monday against neighboring
Gill St. Bernard’s. If
Bernards prevails in both of
those matches, it will win its second
consecutive Skylands Conference
Crown under Coach
Paragano.
The Bernards girls will be represented
in all three squad competitions
at the Squad Championships
on Feb. 23 at North Hunterdon.
Boys
The Bernards boys playoff
run ended on Feb. 4 with a disappointing
14-13 loss to Don Bosco
at Bergen Fencing Center in Ho-
Ho-Kus. Despite 3-0 performances
from saberist Will Rohrbacker
and épée fencer Alec Ajnsztajn,
the Mountaineers could not
make up for the 2-7 disadvantage
in foil. Even so, the match stayed
tight until the final round when
a late Bernards rally fell just
short.
“Our guys put in a tremendous
effort against a very tough
Don Bosco team,” Paragano
said. “I was especially proud of
the way that Will (Rohrbacker)

and Alec (Ajnsztajn) performed
under pressure. They showed
why they are each district
champs in their respective
weapons. Our guys will learn
from this and be ready for next
year.”
On Friday, the Mountaineers
redeemed themselves and took
out their frustrations on Hunterdon
Central with a 16-11 victory.
Saber fencers Marc Murphy, Wyatt
O’Leary and Will Rohrbacker
and foilist Kieran Farrell each
picked up two wins while épée
fencers Tristan Decker and Alec
Wrana contributed three wins
apiece. The victory raised the
boys season record to 7-8 and
brought them within striking
distance of a trophy in Skylands
Conference play.
“This win was a very encouraging
sign for next year,”
Paragano said. “We essentially
used next year’s team for this
match and sat our seniors. With
the guys that we have now and
with the fine talent that I know
will be coming in from the
eighth grade programs, we
should be in great shape next
season to make a run at a district
title.”
The Bernards Boys Team will
be represented by its Saber and
Épée squads at the NJSIAA State
Squad Championships at North
Hunterdon on Feb. 22.
SIGNINGS FROM PAGE 18
Franzese, a first-team All-Defensive Somerset
County and Third Team Group 5 selection
last season, was a three-year starter for the
Red Devils, and helped lay the foundation for
last fall’s 12-0 state championship team when
he, along with four other sophomores who
would go on to start all three seasons at
Ridge, endured a 3-7 campaign in an injurydepleted
2012 campaign.
Last year, Franzese led the team in all-purpose
yards with 1,802, caught four touchdown
passes and rushed for eight more. In his career,
the 6-0, 175-pounder scored 20 touchdowns
and finished with 2,702 all-purpose
yards.
During the championship season in 2013,
Franzese averaged nearly 17 yards on each of
his 39 receptions and also rushed 62 times for
524 yards (8.45 yards per carry). As a junior
Franzese caught 31 passes for 453 yards and
seven touchdowns, and also rushed 45 times
for 241 yards (5.36 per carry). Franzese finished
his career at Ridge with 789 yards rushing
(6.8 per carry) and 1,158 yards receiving
on 74 catches (15.6 per catch). Defensively in
his career, he averaged 3.6 tackles and recorded
eight for loss.
Conor Hughes
Over the past two seasons, the dual threat
Hughes had a remarkable 35-7 touchdown-tointerception
ratio, and completed 204 of 344
passes for 3,293 yards. Like Franzese, Hughes
paid his dues as a sophomore, but helped
spark the Ridge resurgence as a junior and
senior.
Hughes also rushed for 772 yards on 132
carries the past two seasons and 10 touchdowns.
Ryan Bell
A sure-handed, athletically gifted and
physical receiver, Bell hauled in a teamleading
47 receptions in 2013 for 766 yards
and 12 touchdowns. Defensively he totalled
nealry four tackles a game and recorded
four tackles for loss and a sack. As a junior,
Bell came into his own with 28 catches for
512 yards and five touchdowns, while
recording five sacks and five tackles for
loss. His seven catches as a sophomore
went for 179 yards.
“Those guys were difference makers in
every game they played in,” Tracy said.
“Our team’s strength this year was its balance
and these three were totally selfless
in that regard. Nick or Ryan could have
had 75 catches apiece this season but then
we may not have been 12-0.
“Ryan and Nick and Conor were just about
what was best for the team. And they helped
us do that in a big way. I am very confident
they will all do quite well and perhaps earn
scholarships some day.”

vidual championship in the pole vault by
Catharine Wain.
"I knew we had a good mix this year," Mooney
said. "But we didn't know if we had a shot at a
sectional until we compared event-wise what the
other schools had. Three weeks ago I kind of
thought we had a chance."
Not only did Wain win the vault by clearing 10
feet even, teammate Sarah Phinney was second
at 9-06. Wain was in her first meet since injuring
her ankle in warm-ups at the Skyland Conference
meet. Freshman Jessica Creedon also overcame
an injury at that event to finish second on
Saturday in the high jump at 5-02. Alissa Laham
picked up six more points with a third-place leap
of 4-06.
"No one was really surprised by what they
did," Mooney said. "We knew what they were capable
of. But it was nice to see those kids move
past that."
Nicole Grabowski picked up a hefty eight
points with a second place heave of 36-01 in the
shot put, while Sophia Verdi earned two points
with a fifth place in the vault (7-06).
In the 1,600, Sarah Spring finished second
(5:21.41) and Sophie Spring fourth (5:25.94), while
Abigail Regner was fourth in the 800 (2:19.71).
Though Ridge had already clinched the title by
then, the 4x400 team of Kelly Van Baalen, Kelly
RYAN BELL
CONOR HUGHES
Corley, Shaye McCoy and Regner teamed for fifth
(4:08.62).
Of the 13 Red Devils who collected points on
Saturday, five were seniors, five juniors, two
sophomores and one a freshman.
"It's nice to have that experience," said Mooney,
who has coach Ridge since 1987. "But it really
comes down to having athletes. They were pretty
excited and taking it all in."
As for the Group 4 championships tomorrow
back in Toms River, Mooney says it's a whole different
animal.
"It's just a completely different meet based on
who qualified," he said. "One kid could come in a
win the whole thing for a school. It would be
tough for us to win, so we felt the sectionals were
our chance."
Boys
Conor Collins and Nick Giannone each finished
second in their events to lead the Ridge
boys to a fourth overall.
Collins had a runner-up time of 6.72 in the 55
meters, while Giannone lost out on jumps after
clearing 13-06 in the pole vault.
Mitch Lawson (9:49.50 in the 3,200) and Andrew
McGowan (4:32.81 in the 1,600) each finished
fourth, while Alex Shraer was sixth in the
800 (2:02.97).
Will Phinney joined Andrew Claps, Shraer and
Collins to finish sixth in the 4x400.

include a walled courtyard, a
serpentine interlocking paver
driveway, six-car garage, portecochère,
three-room apartment,
blue stone patios, and an inground
swimming pool with
paver surround and gazebo. The

mind for superior quality, architectural
richness and attention

moulding found throughout
most rooms.
A crystal chandelier enhances
the home’s two-story foyer, an entranceway
designed to make a
lasting impression. Marble flooring
leads to an elegant staircase
with runner and brass carpet
rails. Crystal sconces, a large
walk-in closet and a designer
powder room complete the

wet bar, built-in bookcases and

window, stained hardwood floors
and a fireplace with marble surround

details include oak paneling, a
coffered ceiling, built-in bookcases,
closets, a retractable
screen and a pocket door.
An additional room with builtin
computer desk, built-in bookcases,
en suite bath with shower,
walk-in closet, skylight and tumbled
stone floor could be utilized
as a study or an additional second
floor bedroom.
Newly painted, the eat-in

countertops. High-end appliances

on the floor features an updated

closet space.

three-room guest suite over the
three-car, detached garage. The
suite provides a full kitchen and
bathroom, as well as separate climate
control.

by this home include a 1,000-bottle
wine cellar with compressor,
a central vacuum system, a
phone system with intercom,
