40 research-based, positive quali-ties that influence young peoplesdevelopment, helping them be-come caring, responsible and pro-ductive adults, according tosearch-institute.org.

The framework of Develop-mental Assets combines a re-search-based approach to childand youth development withpractical, actionable ways thatcommunities can work togetherto prepare young people for suc-

cess in some type of college, a ca-reer and citizenship.

This framework encouragesleadership, success in school, serv-ice to others and a strong sense ofself, Kahme said. Kids needthese assets in their lives. It is ourgoal to help parents, schools, busi-nesses and the community tobuild assets in our youth.

Based in youth development,resiliency and prevention re-search, the Developmental Assetsframework has proven to be effec-

tive and has become the mostwidely used approach to positiveyouth development around theworld, according to search-insti-tute.org.

The Search Institute has sur-veyed more than 4 million chil-dren, with results demonstratingthat the more developmental as-sets a young person attains, thebetter their chances are at suc-cess in school, exhibiting leader-ship, developing healthier behav-

iors, and the less likely they willengage in at-risk behavior.In May 2012, the HVMA sur-

veyed 732 students in gradesseven to 12, which revealed thenumber of assets each student ex-periences on average, as well asstudents strengths and weak-nesses.

We know what assets theyhave and where we need improve-ment, Kahme said. By introduc-ing the Got Assets? initiative toparents, schools and the commu-

nity, we can better support ouryouth.

Overall, the survey showedthat seventh-grade students expe-rience the most assets of eachgrade level, with 25.5 of 40 assets

on average, Kahme said.The other grades fell just short

of that, with eighth graders expe-riencing 21.9 of 40 assets, ninthgraders experiencing 22.4 of 40assets, 10th graders experiencing19.5 of 40 assets, 11th graders ex-periencing 21.6 of 40 assets, and12th graders experiencing 22.1 of40 assets.

The average young person ex-periences fewer than half of the40 assets, according to search-in-stitute.org, placing Hopewellsstudents above eye-level with thenational standard.

The survey also assessed thestudents strong external and in-

ternal assets. External strengthsincluded high levels of familysupport, positive peer influenceand time spent in sports, clubsand community organizations.Internal strengths included moti-vated to do well in school, opti-mistic about personal future andactively engaged in learning.

Some of the external and inter-nal deficiencies the HVMA de-tected and will be working to im-prove include parent involvementin schooling, caring school cli-

mate, community service, neigh-borhood boundaries, resistingnegative peer pressure and im-portant not to be sexually activeor use drugs/alcohol.

When addressing at-risk be-haviors and violence among stu-dents, Hopewells students variedfrom grade to grade. In regard tosubstance use, 11th and 12thgraders ranked higher, statingthey use alcohol and marijuanamore frequently than those inninth and 10th grade.

However, when referring to vi-olent behavior, such as fighting,hitting or injuring another per-son, older students were the leastlikely to engage in these activi-ties, while students in ninth and10th grade were more likely.

Kahme said the HVMA is goingto diligently work with school

and community officials to in-crease the number of develop-mental assets in Hopewellsyouth, while also encouragingfamilies to build strong assets intheir lives.

The Hopewell Valley Munici-pal Alliance is a volunteer com-munity coalition of municipalleaders, schools, parents, healthproviders, business, faith, recre-ation and civic organizations whowork together to address sub-stance abuse issues and promote

a healthy community and healthyyouth in Hopewell Valley.

How many times have you seen

it: People driving around town

throwing caution to the wind,

as if they were on a NASCAR track?

Youd think someone was giving away

free hundred dollar bills.

Do they not know we have children

walking around town? Do they notcare about the safety of other mo-

torists? Do they not care about their

own safety?

Seems like today, everyone is in a

rush at all times; it seems like its get-

ting worse with each passing year.

Somehow, by some miracle, New Jer-

sey drivers arent the worst in the na-

tion, at least according to an annual

study recently released by CarInsur-

anceComparison.com. In fact, were

only the 32nd worst state-full of driv-

ers. If were only middle of the pack,

wed hate to be on the road in

Louisiana, whose drivers were collec-

tively ranked as the worst in the na-

tion.

Even though were not as bad as

some of our American brethren, its

worth repeating: Slow down out there!

Nothing can be of such importance

that you need to speed and drive errati-

cally...every time you drive! Its just not

possible that your wife is giving birth

for the fifth time this week.

Our children are walking ourstreets. Our elderly are still behind the

wheel. And our ready, willing and able

are out on the roads, trying to get to or

from a New Years celebration.

Lets make sure everyone gets where

theyre going safely. Lets all share the

road with each other, and lets stop

being such maniacs even if were not

the worst.

in our opinion

Slowdown out thereUse caution whendriving on the roads, especially this time ofyear

Your thoughts

How bad is the driving out there? How canwe get better? Should more regulationsbe put on New Jersey drivers to improvesafety? Let your thoughts be heardthrough a letter to the editor.

Susan and Bruce Roeloffs opened

their Crown Trophy of Mercerville

store at 3257 Quakerbridge Road in

Mercerville in March of 2007. The

store is part of the Crown Trophy

franchise system and is family owned

and operated with Susan and son

Matt running the operation full-time

with occasional help from husband

Bruce. Terry Moon and Victoria Kier-

nan are two of their employees that

embody Susans passion for putting

the customer first.

We do everything possible to en-

sure the customer gets what they

want, when they want it, at a fair

price, noted Susan. If the customer

isnt happy, neither are we.

Proof of that came in 2008 and

2011 when Crown Trophy of Mer-

cerville won the prestigious Sales

Achievement Award from Crowns

Corporate Headquarters at their an-

nual summer meeting. Crown Tro-

phy Founder and President Chuck

Weisenfeld said, I love the Mer-

cerville store. Susan and her team are

doing an excellent job representingCrown and have been active in the

community as well. I love that they

give back, many local businesses

dont do that anymore. I am glad to

have them be a part of the Crown

Franchise Family. They even com-

pleted our exhaustive Crown Trophy

training program and achieved the

Certified Recognition Advisor (CRA)

designation from us which not every

store can say.

Crown Trophy of Merceville has

also received awards from the Rob-

binsville Education Foundation and

received resolutions recognizing

their business from Senator Green-

stein and Assemblymen Benson and

DeAngelo. Crown Trophy of Mer-

cerville specializes not only in tro-

phies but also plaques, medals, rib-

bons, silkscreened and embroidered

apparel, signs and banners, promo-

tional products, corporate awards,

golf outing packages and much more.

One source of pride for Susan and

Matt is the Crown Trophy Student/Ath-

lete of the Month program which is

available to all area high schools as a

free service. With this program

schools can select one student and

one female and male athlete each

month to be recognized for their per-

formance in the classroom and intheir chosen sport.

Many schools have had to cut

back on their awards programs to

their students and athletes, so we felt

the need to pick up the ball and run

with it for them. It is a great way for

the schools to recognize their stu-

dents and we provide the service at

no cost to the schools. said Roeloffs.

Any area high school interested in the

Student/Athlete of the Month pro-

gram is urged to contact the store for

more information about the program.

When asked why Susan considers

her store the Best kept secret in Mer-

cerville she replied. The funny

thing about our business is that peo-

ple dont really look for us until they

need us. Dont let the name fool you

we do a lot more than just trophies

and strive to be your one-stop-shop

for your award and event needs.

Now the secret is out and Susan,

Matt and the entire team at Crown

Trophy of Mercerville hope to meet

many new customers (which usually

turn into friends) real soon.

Crown Trophy of Mercerville is lo-

cated in University Plaza, at 3257

Quakerbridge Road in Mercerville.

They are open Monday through

Friday 9:30am-5:30pm with evening

hours until 7:00pm on Thursdays andSaturdays 9:00am-1:00pm. You can

reach the store by calling (609)838-

HOPEWELL VALLEY CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

By NICK COHENThe Sun

The days of seeing high school athletescompete in a different sport every season hasbecome a thing of the past, as more and morekids try to focus on excelling at one ratherthan competing in a variety. A culture of AAUleagues and parents hiring personal trainersor coaches for their children has become morepredominant.

Just dont expect to see that from HopewellValley Central High School senior and basket-ball standout Kara Hageman.

Kara is an unbelievable talent and this is agirl who also plays field hockey in the fall,Centrals head girls basketball coach JeffLosch said. She is the most versatile player Ihave ever coached.

Hageman, a 6-foot forward, has become oneof the premier basketball players in the Colo-nial Valley Conference. She lead the 2012-13Bulldogs to a second straight unbeaten CVCseason and a run in the NJSIAA Central Jer-sey Group III Tournament, finishing the sea-son with a 23-4 record.

According to Losch, her versatility is evi-dent on both ends of the floor.

Shes a dominant shot blocker and re-

bounder. She can defend near the basket or onthe perimeter. Offensively, shes our best ball

handler and passer. She drives tothe basket extremely well and isone of our better perimeter shoot-ers, Losch said. She has aknack for letting the game come

to her and deciding how best shecan help the team. She oftenplayed her best games against thebest opponents.

Though Hageman is an-nounced as a forward during pre-game introductions, often she be-comes the point guard, setting theoffense for the perennial CVC Pa-triot Division champs.

Hageman finished last yearfirst in Mercer County and sec-

ond in Group III with 114 madefree throws and first in the CVCwith 307 rebounds. She also fin-ished last season with 99 blockedshots, 93 assists and 51 stealswhile averaging 13 points andmore than 11 rebounds per game.But Hageman is much more than

just statistics. Shes about win-ning, and thats something shes

done since her freshman year forthe Bulldogs.Our success behind Kara is

undeniable. Weve finished thelast two seasons undefeated inleague play, Losch said.

Under Loschs direction,Hopewell Valley has won orshared the last nine division titleswhile also winning 39 consecutivegames against CVC opponents.Losch knows this season may

present a bigger challenge.We lost five of the eight girls

who saw significant minutes lastyear, but we do return threestarters and hope to again be oneof the top teams in the CVC,Losch said. The addition ofthree new players, freshmanguard Kirsten Long, sophomoreguard Julia Tobia and sophomore

center Sol Ashgarcia, bodes wellfor the future. They should alsocontribute big this winter.
