On Sunday, July 29, four juvenilemales were charged with burglaryand criminal mischief after they al-legedly vandalized several areas in-side of Bear Tavern ElementarySchool in Titusville, officials said.

Officer Michael Toth responded to

a fire alarm at Bear Tavern, where hefound the exterior doors to the gympropped open. There were no signs ofa fire or a smoke condition at thebuilding.

After further investigation insideof the school, it became apparentthat someone had caused a largeamount of damage throughout the en-tire building, according to Lieu-tenant Lance Maloney.

The suspects, all 14-year-old males,

discharged a number of dry chemicalfire extinguishers, broke several inte-rior glass windows, overturned andbroke various pieces of furniture,damaged several computers andservers, tipped over several book-shelves, and threw paint across thewalls, floors and cafeteria stages, ac-cording to Maloney.

One of the big things is dry chemi-

cal from fire extinguishers creates amess for clean up, Maloney said.

Overall, the four boys damaged sev-eral areas of the school, including thegymnasium, the cafeteria, the mainoffice, the library, and several class-rooms and hallways.

On Aug. 6, Principal Bruce Arcurioexplained to residents at a specialmeeting at Stony Brook ElementarySchool that the four boys allegedlyconducted the vandalism more than

once over the course of a day, mean-ing they left and revisited the schoolseveral times on July 29 to cause moredamage with each visit.

The school district estimated thedamage cleanup alone to be morethan $100,000, but cannot determinethe total amount of damage until thestaff is allowed back into the school toconduct an inventory of the items.

The total cost of the clean-up, re-pairs, and replacement is covered bythe districts insurance policy, Arcu-rio said.

One of the teens, who is believed tohave helped the others access the in-side of the school, is also beingcharged with having burglar tools.

He used a hammer to break a win-dow outside the school, Maloney

The Hopewell Valley 10U Bull-dogs beat Marylands HickoryHornets in the Mid-Atlantic Re-gionals on July 30, advancingthem to the 2012 Cal Ripken 10Year-Old World Series in Ben-tonville, Ark., from Aug. 10-17.

This is the Bulldogs secondconsecutive Mid-Atlantic Region-al Championship win, accordingto Manager Jeff Tagliareni.

Ever since we won last yearsregionals, this has been theirwhole focus, he said. It got to apoint where I had to ban themfrom using the A word[Arkansas] because thats all theywere worried about.

Now that the teams determina-tion has paid off, Tagliareni ex-pects the boys to compete, butalso wants them to enjoy them-selves at the same time.

My expectations are to becompetitive, but I want them torelax and enjoy the whole thing,he said. Hopefully the pressureis off of them a little bit. Its aonce in a lifetime thing so I hopethey focus on that and arentnervous even though they prob-ably will be because its nothingto be nervous about.

The Bulldogs started off theMid-Atlantic Regionals by losingtheir first pool play game, butthey won five straight games af-

terward to take the title home.We played six games in total,

Tagliareni said. We lost the firstgame, won the following threepool play games, and then wontwo playoff games.

The format of the regionalsran along the same lines of theWorld Series, with two pools andfive games in each pool, as well as

Ten teams in series

a top playoff game for each pool.The World Series is running

along the same format, with 10teams participating in two divi-sions American and National.The Bulldogs are part of theAmerican Division, and will becompeting against the PacificNorthwest Regional Championfrom Oregon, the Midwest PlainsRegional Champion from NorthDakota, and the host team from

Bentonville, Ark.Theyre guaranteed to play at

least four games because its apool play format, but can playmore if they beat the three teamslisted above.

If we make the playoffs, thenthey play the other pool [NationalDivision] with the other fiveteams, Tagliareni said. Poolplay ends on Tuesday [Aug. 14],and then playoffs are on Wednes-

day, Thursday, and Friday.The Bulldogs main pitcher,

Jack Hanes, explained how theBulldogs have been practicingand training six days a week toprepare for the World Series,which he is excited to attend.

It feels good because noteverybody has an experience togo to the World Series, and itspretty cool to have that, he said.Hopefully were going to win,but were going to play goodteams from other regions, sowere going to play our best andsee how we do.

This year, the Bulldogs had an

impressive record of 40-2 againstall of the other towns, slightlybelow their almost perfect recordof 49-1 last year.

However, the majority of the 12boys on the team have been play-ing together since they were 7 or 8years old, which has allowedthem to develop a bond that helpsthem play better together.

Parents crucial to teamssuccess, says coach

They spend a lot of time to-gether, usually five or six days aweek, Tagliareni said.

Tagliareni also explained howthe parents of the boys are cru-cial to the teams success, and areone of the main reasons that theboys have succeeded and gottenthis far this year.

When you have parents thatare committed, it really helps, hesaid. In order to be the best inthe region, youre the best of

many hundreds. It has to be be-cause the kids work year-roundand if they dont, theyre notgoing to get better. As far as thecommitment, if you join myteam, you dont miss (no vaca-tions, no family reunions) thatsthe deal. Thats why Im lucky tohave those parents that under-stand that. Were trying to play atthe level that we are, and thatswhy we made the champi-onships.

When Gov. Christie last week

signed a bill that overhauled

teacher tenure in the state,

it was a landmark moment. But its not

the final piece of the puzzle. Not even

close.

The measure, which was supported

by both parties, strives to make teach-ers more accountable through evalua-

tions and reviews. If they get bad re-

views, they could be removed from the

classroom. The bill also added a year

before tenure is granted.

Were all for rewarding the best

teachers and getting the bad ones out

of the classroom. In theory, this move

is a step toward that.

But questions remain.

What will the final version of the

teacher evaluation system look like? In

other words, can the state implement asystem that effectively identifies teach-

ers who need to be rewarded and those

who need to go? Will local districts

have to hire more managers or super-

visors? Will that lead to tax hikes?

Student achievement is another ele-

ment of the bill, and another area in

which teachers are to be measured.

Does that mean standardized test re-sults will be used? What about those

teachers who teach grades that dont

have standardized testing? Is it smart

to teach to the test? Since a childs

educational foundation begins early, is

it fair to hold a teacher accountable for

educational shortcomings that should

have been addressed years earlier?

Also, the measure is silent on the

last in, first out system when it comes

to layoffs.Make no mistake significant ad-

vances were made in this bill. The

state is heading in the right direction

and should be congratulated for taking

initial steps to improve public educa-

tion.

But we shouldnt expect changes to

happen overnight. And we shouldnt

expect a perfect system right out of the

starting gate.

There are too many questions still to

be answered.

in our opinion

Tenure measure a first stepThe ultimate goal is to ensure students receive the best education possible

Teacher tenure revised

Last weeks measure is no doubt a stepin the right direction and a landmarkmoment for education in New Jersey.But a lot of questions still have to beanswered before anyone can pro-nounce this move a success.

The following reports are on file withthe Hopewell Township Police Depart-ment:

On July 25 at 2:30 p.m., Officer Christo-pher Vaccarino charged an 18-year-oldmale with the possession of marijuana(over 50 grams). This charge stems from aninvestigation that began on July 24 thatalso resulted in charges against two juve-niles (one male, one female) for the posses-sion of marijuana (over 50 grams) andcharges against an additional juvenilemale for the possession of marijuana (over50 grams), possession of drug parapherna-lia, and possession with intent to distrib-ute marijuana. The mans case will be for-warded to the Mercer County Prosecutors

Office for review.

On July 25 at 5:50 a.m., a marijuana in-vestigation resulted in charges against two

juvenile boys and a juvenile girl. A 17-year-old Pennington boy and a 17-year-old

Hopewell Township girl were charged withthe possession of marijuana (over 50grams). A 17-year-old Hopewell Townshipboy was charged with the possession of

marijuana (over 50 grams), possession ofdrug paraphernalia, and possession withintent to distribute marijuana. Thesecharges will be heard in Family Court.Twenty marijuana plants were found dur-ing this investigation. The investigation isongoing.

On July 26 at 8:48 a.m., Officer Christo-pher Vaccarino took a theft report. Some-time between 11:30 a.m. and noon on July25, someone took an Apple iPhone from ashopping cart at Shop Rite after the owneraccidentally left it in the cart in the park-

ing lot. The loss was estimated at $680.

On July 30 at 11:39 a.m., Officer JosephMcNeil responded to a Harbourton Mt.Airy Road residence for the report of crim-inal mischief. Sometime between 5 p.m. on

July 26 and 1 p.m. on July 30, someone dam-aged the rear door to the home. The dam-age was estimated to be less than $500.

On July 31 at 5:15 a.m., Officer GeorgeSabatino responded to Federal City Roadfor the report of recycling cans on fire. Of-ficer Sabatino arrived and found two recy-cling cans smoldering near a residentialdriveway. The plastic cans were melted andcans, bottles and paper that had been in thebuckets were charred.

The two after-school programsthat have served Hopewell Valleystudents for many years will openthis September as a single pro-

gram.The Hopewell Valley After

School Program (HVASP) and theHopewell Valley YMCA willmerge under the umbrella of theYMCA to offer the Before andAfter Care of Hopewell Valleyprogram. HVASP Director KarenSharp and YMCA Program Direc-tor Dan Williams will continue tolead the new program.

Before- and after-care will con-tinue to be offered at all four

Hopewell Valley elementaryschools and Timberlane; however,the hours will be extended to 7a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Most adultstaffers will remain in the new

program and the fees will beroughly the same as last year, ac-cording to the directors.

We are also working to expand

the program to include age-appro-priate activities for the differentlevels of students attending,YMCA CEO Doug Pszczolkowskisaid. That could include enrich-ment programs, homework helpand even tutoring.

The new organization will beunder contract with the HopewellValley Regional School District(HVRSD), which will have over-sight of the program. Also new isthe development of a Parent Ad-

visory Committee, comprised ofparents and school administra-tors, who will meet quarterly todiscuss the program.

We are very excited to be en-

tering this new partnership,Pszczolkowski said. The pro-gram will continue to be flexible,offering child care one to five

days a week, as well as drop-inavailability and extended hours.

Parents whose children are inthe program should be receivingregistration paperwork in thenext few weeks. Parents withquestions are encouraged to con-tact the Hopewell Valley YMCAby calling (609) 737-3048, or byemailing [email protected].

Members of the Hopewell Val-ley Regional Board of Educationlast year brought up the issue of

merging the two programs whichhave, for years, operated side-by-side in the schools with no writ-ten contract.

Because the programs are run

at our schools and care for ourstudents, the school administra-tion and school board wanted tohave more control and input

when it came to how the pro-grams are run and what is of-fered, Superintendent ThomasSmith said.

For several months, the boardand administration consideredproposals from several differentcare providers, including theHVASP and YMCA. In the end,they decided to allow the existingprograms to combine into a sin-gle program.

This agreement meets our

goals for childcare in the dis-trict, School Board PresidentLisa Wolff said. We wanted ex-panded enrichment opportunitiesand a single program to simplify

things. We also wanted our schooladministration to have moreoversight of the program, and aformalized contract that clarifies

the use of our facilities and fees.We will accomplish all of these inour new program.

said. Thats how they gainedentry.

Maloney wasnt able to discloseexactly how the suspects were ap-prehended after the incident, butstated that they werent at thescene when police arrived.

Information was developedwhile the officers were on thescene, he said. Somebody came

forward with information that ledus to them.This case was further investi-

gated by Officer James Hoffman,Sergeant Christopher Kascik, De-tective Daniel McKeown and De-tective Michael Sherman, who as-sisted Officer Toth in catching thesuspects.

The four boys cases will beheard in Family Court, where

they will face consequences rang-ing from probation to communityservice to restitution.

When asked by residents if theindividuals involved would be re-sponsible for restitution at themeeting on Aug. 6, Arcurio de-tailed how thats out of theschools hands.

Restitution is in the hands ofthe civil court and the insurancecompany at this point, he said.

Clean-up and restoration of theschool is being conducted by In-surance Restoration Specialists(IRS), a company based out of

Monroe, and will take two weeksto fully restore Bear Tavern to itsoriginal setting, according toGeneral Manager of IRS JohnLewis.

Lewis explained that IRS wascontacted through Hopewell Val-ley Regional School Districts Di-rector of Facilities NormanTorkelson on Monday, July 30,and began cleaning up the school

right away.In only two days, IRS crew of

workers cleared out and restored

the cafeteria, hallways and someof the classrooms.

The only reason its going totake IRS two weeks to restoreBear Tavern is because of theemission of the contents inside ofthe fire extinguishers magne-sium sulfate which is veryharmful for the breathing system,according to Lewis.

Were using air filtration de-vices, or negative air machines,he said. Were hepa-vaccing

every inch of that school, andthen doing a wiping process.Arcurio also detailed to resi-

dents that the biggest piece of thecleanup process if the environ-mental piece, which is the reasonwhy the school has been off-lim-its.

Discharging all of the fire ex-tinguishers has left a residuethroughout the building on all

surfaces and in air ducts that isnot safe to breathe in over time.He said. The IRS cleaning crew

is wiping down everything in theaffected areas and cleaning theschools ventilation system.

After IRS completes its portionof the cleanup process, the schoolmust be certified safe by PARSEnvironmental, an environmen-tal consulting firm, so that thestudents and faculty can reentercome September.

Bear Tavern will reopen fornormal business on Aug. 20, andwill be open to the public for a

walk through at 9 a.m., accordingto Arcurio.When school starts on Sept. 6,

he also explained how teacherswill be addressing the incident tostudents.

Teachers will talk to childrenin an age appropriate fashion toanswer their questions, he said.We will focus on the respect thatwe should have for property andour responsibility to take care ofour community. We will alsofocus on making choices and the

consequences of our choices.As part of the efforts to

reestablish Bear Taverns image,Arcurio revealed the schools new

motto, Better Together! BetterThan Ever! which will be dis-played on banners hanging in

front of the school, and on t-shirtsthat will be distributed to all stu-dents and staff members.

If residents want to assist BearTavern in its recovery, Arcurioexplained that there are severalthings that people can help do, in-cluding help from families to cre-ate and decorate hallway bulletinboards with the Better Togeth-er theme in mind, helping teach-ers set up their classrooms, help-ing paint the staff lounge, and as-

sisting Mrs. Muhlbauer [librari-an] get the library back in shape(reorganizing and restackingbooks and shelves).

When the school officially re-opens on Aug. 20, Arcurio alsoasked if community memberscould assist staff members inwalking the grounds of Bear Tav-ern to pick up litter.

Bear Tavern is a strong com-munity and we can weather anystorm, Arcurio said. This isonly a minor setback, but it al-

lows us to show our true charac-ter. It allows us to show our re-solve. It allows us to demonstrateour connection to one another.
