The state Department of Environmental Pro-
tections Green Acres program has issued
grants to fund two portions of the Lawrence
Hopewell Trail. A $24,000 grant will be awarded
to complete projects in both the Hopewell and
Lawrence sections of the trail.
Eleanor Horne, co-founder of the LHT, re-
ports that the 22-mile loop is now approximate-
ly 80 percent complete.
We are delighted to receive the two grants
from the DEP, in part because we need the
money to complete the construction of the
trails, but also because every time we receive a
grant it is like a vote of confidence in the com-
pletion of the trails, Horne said.
The Hopewell portion of the grant is for a
section called the Pennington connector. Horne
explained that since the grant application was
filed a while ago, in the meantime Bristol
Grant awarded will complete

The following reports are on
file with the Hopewell Police De-
partment:
On April 23 at 3:42 p.m. Officer
Brian Dendis was detailed to the
area of Route 518 near Stony
Brook Road on the report of an
erratic driver. The 911 callers re-
ported that a black Volkswagen
was travelling on Route 518 in an
erratic manner. The 911 callers
also provided the license plate of
the vehicle. Dendis arrived in the
area and located the vehicle
stopped on the side of the road.
He approached the driver who
was later identified as a 31-year-
old female from York Street in
Lambertville. While speaking
with her, he detected the odor of
alcohol on her breath and person
and observed a can of com-
pressed chemicals commonly
used to clean computer equip-
ment in her hand. The contents
of the can are often inhaled for in-
toxication. Based on his investi-
gation, the driver was placed
under arrest for DWI and for pos-
sessing toxic chemicals used for
causing intoxication. She was
transported to police headquar-
ters where she was processed and
released to a family member. Her
case will be heard in municipal
court.

L
ast year at this time, we
preached how important it was
to stay local for the summer-
time. We said that the 102 days be-
tween Memorial Day and Labor Day
weekends are crucial for the Jersey
Shore, which, no matter where you
live in our fine state, has a vital impact
on our economy.
We are now a year-and-a-half re-
moved from the devastation that was
caused by Hurricane Sandy, but some
Shore towns are still fighting to fully
recover. Beach remediation is all but
complete, and the boardwalks and
shops are up and running, for the most
part at least those that decided to re-
build.
But these Shore towns still need our
support.
Beach Season 2013 was not a good
one. As if rebuilding from Sandy was-
nt bad enough, an incredibly wet June
kept visitors away from the Shore dur-
ing prime weekends. Sales for stores
in the hardest-hit areas of the storm
were off anywhere from 20-40 percent
last year, according to state economic
reports. And Gov. Christies office esti-
mated that companies lost more than
$63 million in business due to the
storm.
So whats the message here? Its sim-
ple: Visit the Shore this summer, and
visit often.
New Jersey residents often take our
coastline for granted, but we should
realize how lucky we are to have such
a gem this close to home. So lets pay it
back this summer.
There are fewer than three weeks
until the official start of the summer
beach season, but with schools letting
out a little later this year thanks to the
snowy winter, there is still plenty of
time to plan your summer vacation at
the Jersey Shore.
The beach towns need your support,
now more than ever. Lets all dedicate
at least part of our summer to giving
back.
New year, same message:
Stay local this summer

tion? Share your thoughts on this, and

al Board of Education honored one educa-

The awards, also referred to as Teacher

media specialist position and works with
students at all three grade levels within the
school. She lives in Doylestown, Pa., with
her husband and two sons.
I am really honored to be chosen. I have
always thought very highly of the people
who have gotten this before me, and I ap-
preciate the recognition, she said in a dis-
trict press release.

arts from Ithaca College and completed
graduate work at Rider University. She
teaches Advanced Placement Composition

Brook Elementary School since 2003, after
earning her undergraduate teaching de-
gree from Shippensburg University and a

I always wanted to be a teacher, and I
really feel this is a job I was meant to do,
she said.

lane Elementary School in 2008, then at
Bear Tavern Elementary School in 2010.
