Local photographers work featured
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
For the past four years, PEAC
Health and Fitness has selected a
different artist each month to dis-
play his or her artwork along the
walls of the facilitys entrance as
part of its Art on Display pro-
gram.
During February, Pennington
resident and member of PEAC
Arthur Firestone, who has been a
photographer for 50 years, is
showing a collection of 50 photo-
graphs from his recent travels to
Africa, Italy, and France.
Firestone, who is a retired
principal, teacher and organiza-
tional consult, is an avid traveler
and has been to almost every con-
tinent throughout his travels
with his family.
We travel a lot, he said. At
least once a year, were in Europe
or somewhere else traveling for a
two- to three-week period.
Last year, Firestone and his
wife ventured to Africa for the
first time, which is the focus of
half of his exhibit.
"I love animals; I just love lions,
tigers, giraffes and zebras, and all
those kinds of animals," he said.
"I was like a little kid in a candy
store. Im sitting there in the
Land Rover and the whole top is
off above your waist so youre
just out in the air and were
driving through the Serengeti
and giraffes are on the left, ele-
phants are on the right, hippos in
the pond, a rhino is in the field,
lions walking by, and monkeys all
over the place. It was just amaz-
ing."
Although Firestone was al-
ready interested in visiting
Africa because of its wildlife, his
original interest came from his
daughter, Julia, who is a graduate
teacher at the Teacher's College at
Columbia University majoring in
International Educational Devel-
opment and Policy with a focus
on sub-saharan Africa.
"She is the director of opera-
tions for a foundation called Im-
pact Network, and they build
schools in rural Zambia, so she
got to stay in Zambia, and also
taught at an orphanage in Ghana
one summer," he said. "So, my in-
terest in Africa kind of piqued
what was already a simmering in-
terest."
Firestone detailed how he took
around 7,000 pictures while in
Africa, 25 of which he chose to
display as part of his exhibit, and
50 to 60 of which are available to
view on his professional website
at arthurfirestone.com.
While in Africa, Firestone ven-
tured to Tanzania and Kenya,
where he was able to take a safari
through the Serengeti National
Park and Tarangire National
Park. He also visited the Masai
village in northern Kenya and the
Ngorongoro Crater, the main fea-
ture of the Ngorongoro Conserva-
HEATHER FIORE/The Hopewell Sun
Pennington resident Arthur Firestone is shown standing by a portion
of his artwork, which is on display throughout the month of February
at PEAC Health and Fitness in Ewing. The exhibition consists of 50
photographs, which document his recent travels to Africa, Italy and
France.

Redevelopment project
focus of meeting
By HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
At the Hopewell Township
committee's special meeting on
Feb. 4, residents gathered to fur-
ther discuss the Marshall's Cor-
ner/Pennytown redevelopment
project, which has been ongoing
for the past four years.
Township administrator Paul
Pogorzelski detailed a timeline
from 2008 through the next couple
of months in 2013 to explain
everything that has happened
and will happen with the Penny-
town site, which was purchased
in 2008.
In 2008, when "Round 3" of
COAH rules were introduced,
Hopewell had a determined need
to create about 440 units, give or
take, to meet its affordable hous-
ing obligations implemented by
COAH.
Hopewell Township looked at a
variety of sites to create these
units on, including the current
Project Freedom and Capital
Health tracts, but ultimately de-
cided to purchase the Pennytown
site for $6.1 million, since it al-
ready had its own sewer system
and was determined that 70 units
could be built there.
To decide how to best use and
develop the Pennytown site,
Pogorzelski described how the
Marshall's Corner/Pennytown
Task Force was formed, which
consisted of various concerned
residents from the surrounding
neighborhoods who could poten-
tially be affected by the develop-
ment of Pennytown.
Simultaneously, the township
started to explore the Kooltronics
property, which is located directly

O
ral arguments in a lawsuit
brought by professional sports
teams and the NCAA against
Gov. Christie are scheduled to begin
this week. Recently, the leagues got a
boost. The U.S. Department of Justice
is jumping into the lawsuit on their
side.
Yep, your tax dollars are being used
against you.
Lets check the starting lineups.
On one side, you have unbelievably
wealthy sports leagues, the DOJ, illegal
bookies and point-shaving players. OK,
technically the last two arent part of
the lawsuit, but, if the leagues and
DOJ win, they win, too.
On the other side, you have Gov.
Christie, people who want to be able to
bet legally on sports in New Jersey, the
states casinos and horse racing tracks
and, well, everyone who would benefit
from a huge bump to our economy.
Which side are you on?
The suggestion that legalizing sports
betting in New Jersey would lead to an
increase in corruption, law-breaking,
pestilence, whatever, defies logic and
fact. Billions of dollars already are
being bet illegally on games. Players
and officials already have been caught
cheating to win bets.
In fact, the opposite is true. Making
sports betting legal would mean more
oversight of the system by people
both government and those folks actu-
ally taking the bets who want, to coin
a phrase, a level playing field.
It also would be a boost to the casi-
nos, tracks and the economy because
at least some of the money currently
being bet illegally would begin to flow
into legal betting outlets. Anyone seen
recent casino revenue reports? They
need help.
The feds, to coin another phrase, are
backing the wrong horse. New Jersey
needs legal sports betting. Its too bad
the DOJ doesnt see things that way.
in our opinion
Your tax dollars at work
Justice Department joins the ranks of leagues against sports betting in state
Sports betting
That the federal government has
entered a lawsuit to stop New Jerseys
efforts to legalize sports betting is a
slap in the face of every taxpayer here.
Sports betting would be an economic
boost, and in no way would endanger
the integrity of the games.

ect, pattern, and materials. All ages and

Celebrate Washingtons birthday on Feb. 17
tion Area in Tanzania.
His pictures in the exhibit
mainly consist of a variety of ani-
mals native to Africa, such as gi-
raffes and elephants, but also in-
corporate some of the people he
came across while visiting the
Masai village in Kenya.
And, according to Firestone,
the most fascinating aspect of
taking safaris was seeing the ani-
mals in their natural habitat.
"When you are on the
Serengeti, the predator and prey
animals are really both on very
high alert either you get eaten
or you have to eat," he said. "At
the zoo, the animals are just
numb because they get fed. They
just dont have that sparkle in
their eyes, that edge; the animals
are just in a different place in a
natural habitat, so it was very ex-
citing to be there."
"I would go back in a heart-
beat," he added. "We will go back.
I would like to return and spend
some time in Kenya, go to Rwan-
da and see the gorillas there, Zam-
bia and other places in Africa."
The other half of Firestone's
pictures document his recent
travels to Venice and Paris, two
places that have become staples
while traveling.
"We go to Italy and France fre-
quently," he said. "We have gone
to France 20 times and Venice a
number of times. Paris is like
walking through a museum.
Rome is a knockout, and Venice is
a killer its a wonderful city."
Firestone's pictures from
Venice and Paris highlight a lot of
the main features of the towns,
including the dozens of gondolas
in the waterways between build-
ings in Venice, the Piazza San
Marco, the Louvre and the Eiffel
Tower.
Since Firestone also makes it
his priority to take his camera
with him wherever he and his
wife travel, he described why he
is so intrigued by pictures and
why he continues on his photo-
graphic journey.
"I do pictures for a couple of
reasons," he said. "One is for
memories, but also, Im very
taken with color and shape and
textures, and Im taken with the
human element people playing
or living in that context. Just find-
ing what is aesthetically beautiful
and what strikes me is key, so I
like to record that and take pho-
tos of that and then be able to
share it with other people."
"Taking a picture just grabs the
moment and holds it for you," he
added.
For visitors interested in pur-
chasing any of Firestone's pic-
tures that are on display, theres a
book at the exhibit with all of the
pictures and order forms, so any-
one can go through the book,
choose whichever photos they'd
like to purchase and then write
their information on an order
form. Firestone gives the choice
of just purchasing the photo by it-
self, matted or framed.
Half of the proceeds of Fire-
stones sales will go to the African
Wildlife Foundation (awf.org),
which is a U.S.-based organiza-
tion dedicated to conserving
African wildlife and land.
PEAC Health and Fitness is lo-
cated at 1440 Lower Ferry Road in

across the street from Penny-
town, to see if the two properties
could be used together in some
way to provide all of the neces-
sary affordable housing needs,
most importantly sewage and
water.
Pogorzelski detailed how the
township conducted a variety of
studies on the Kooltronics proper-
ty and drilled wells to determine
whether or not they could provide
sewer and water service.
"The results of the studies have
been that we have found water on
the Kooltronics property," he said.
"It was not the geology that we
were hoping for, but our geologist
has indicated that there are wells
that can provide some of the
water, but in order to provide all
of the water, there would have to
be additional wells drilled
throughout the Kooltronics prop-
erty in order to provide the total
water volume on a daily basis.
"Additonally, for wastewater
they found that the soils dont
have the best permeability, but
they do have permeability, and we
could see a single-water waste-
water system that could be ap-
proaching over 125,000 square feet
of disposal area, which, when you
plug in everything, could be be-
tween eight and nine acres in size
just for disposal field," he added.
"In essence, that's where we stand
today."
Since the results the township
obtained from the studies aren't
100 percent favorable, the commit-
tee hired Natural Systems Utili-
ties a distributed water infra-
structure company that plans, de-
signs, builds, owns and operates
on-site, ecologically based water
systems for $68,000 at the meet-
ing to explore the concept of
adaptive reuse of wastewater and
to see if there are better waste-
water methods to be implemented
in the development process.
Until then, the township com-
mittee will be working closely
with the Planning Board to make
a final decision as to whether the
township is going to pursue rede-
velopment on the Pennytown site.
The discussion at the township
committee meeting is the first of
many discussions regarding the
results of all studies conducted
on Pennytown's property.
Once the latest sewer and
water reports are fully discussed
at the Feb. 7 Planning Board
meeting with the geologists and
other wastewater professionals
that conducted them, the Plan-
ning Board and township com-
mittee will determine whether or
not changes need to be made to
the original conceptual plan,
which was presented to residents
in April 2012.
"If changes are necessary, they
will be made by Clarke Caton and
Hintz (the architecture firm hired
to design the site)," Pogorzelski
said. "Then, at our Feb. 25 meet-
ing, an update on the changes
that have been made will be dis-
cussed."
Following the Feb. 25 meeting,
Pogorzelski explained how the
Planning Board will review the
changes.
Once the conceptual designs
are approved, the township com-
mittee will hold two special pub-
lic hearings to discuss all of the
details, including traffic impacts,
fiscal impacts, and all of the up-
dated sewer and water informa-
tion. The meetings are scheduled
for March 7 and March 14.
"Following the second meeting,
everything that was discussed
will be bundled and sent to the
township committee for the last
meeting in March, and at that
meeting, a 'go' or 'no-go' decision
will be made," Pogorzelski said.
