“Public Works is still and doingbrush pick up, filling potholesand doing some road repair,” saidCommittee Member John Hart.

At the April 14 township com-mittee meeting, Hart advised resi-dents who have not had brush ormaterials picked up to let thetownship know before major roadprojects begin.

Several resolutions were ap-proved at the meeting for upcom-ing events around the community.A resolution for the Rutgers Mas-ter Gardeners of Mercer Countyto conduct a plant expo and gar-den market was approved, as wellas a resolution approving theHopewell Borough RecreationCommittee and Delaware andRaritan Greenway to conduct aHopewell community campout.The campout will be held fromJune 28 and 29 at the CharlesEvans Overlook of the St.Michael’s Preserve.

Additionally, the Dress for Suc-cess organization’s application toconduct the Mercer Dress for Suc-cess Power Walk was approved.Two Hopewell Valley LacrosseLeague events were approved, aboys invitational lacrosse tourna-

ment and a “Lax in the Valley”girls play day.

Ever wonder why that beautiful specimen shrub didn’t survive last year? Mark Burdwoodfrom Landscapes & Patio Design by Burdwood's has an answer. It could be that the locationor other environmental conditions wasn’t ideal for it. Trees, shrubs and herbaceous plantingscan have some fairly particular needs. Some shrubs can be “cheated” a little in regard totheir wants while some cannot.

Choose the Right Trees & Shrubs

• Sunlight requirements. Is this a shadeloving plant I’m planting in the full sun?• Soil: Can this plant tolerate sandy, heavy orrocky soil? Some can. Many can’t.• Wet or dry soil: Is the soil constantly wetwhere you want to plant this gorgeousRhododendron? Most plants can- nottolerate wet feet. A few thrive in it though.• Soil ph: This is the one requirement mostoften ignored. If you plant a lime-lovingshrub like Yew under an acid producing treesuch as Spruce, doom doth await.• High traffic areas: Who amongst usdiscovered the hard way that planting thosenice Viburnums behind the basketball hoopwas a dire mistake. The same holds forgarden plants. Plantings of ground covers

When figuring out what planting would do well in a particularlocation always consider the following:

and tender herbaceous plants in a high trafficarea will generally lead to frustration.• Deer country: All of us that have lived offof the beaten trail know this one. We’ve hadour property planted out with the mostexquisitely beautiful plantings just to seethem devastated within a few months. Oncea deer discovers a food source, they won’tfor- get its location. There are very fewshrubs that I’ve discovered that are “deerproof.”• Planting in an open area: This is anothercritical mistake. Have you ever seen a burnedout hedge of Southern magnolia out on anopen lawn? Expensive scenes such as thisarise when the home- owner or thecontractor hasn’t done their homework.

The experts at Landscapes & Patio Design by Burdwood's have quite a number ofacceptable plantings for different types of locations.

senior center cleaning serviceswith the township.

The work session items on themeeting’s agenda included a dis-cussion about the general budget.Mayor Vanessa Sandom ex-plained the goal was to look at allservices provided to the township

versus what is legally requiredand what residents expect. San-dom has been requesting a de-tailed analysis of the changesthat can be made to township-pro-vided services at the past severalmeetings.

“In two weeks, we will have thebudget behind us and we willhave the opportunity to talkabout these things without thepressure of the budget itself,” shesaid.

Hart suggested the committeeevaluate how many township res-idents are sent to various boardand other committee meetings,which costs the township eachtime.

The township committee will

be further discussing the value ofthe practice.

The lack of an open spacebudget was another work sessionitem.

“If we have no money to spend,why are we having open spaceand ag committee meetings? I toldthe committees that there’s nosense in meeting if we have nomoney to buy anything with,”Hart said.

The committee decided that thefirst step would be an educationaldiscussion with several commit-tees involved to discuss the bene-fits and ramifications of owningpublic space.

The next township committeemeeting will be held on April 28.

here seems to be a list foreverything nowadays. The bestof this, the top 10 of that, the

worst place to do such and such.Last week, we came across a list that

took us by surprise. It is a list of thetop 10 places to retire ... in New Jersey.Yup. New Jersey. We didn’t even real-ize that staying in the Garden Stateafter working age was still an option –or, rather, something that people de-sired.

Anywho, Movoto Real Estate pub-lished the list, starting with placesthat had at least 10,000 residents (110places), then ranking them based onfour interesting criteria:

1.) Cost of living – higher is better,because when you’ve worked all yourlife, what you really want to do is haveyour money go toward taxes and notthat trip to Rome

2.) Crime rate – lower is better, well,obviously

3.) Amenities – places such as li-

braries, physicians, arts and enter-tainment, and adult education

4.) Weather – average summer tem-perature and air quality score, whicheliminates Newark

So, by these rankings, the top 10places to retire in New Jersey, fromone to 10, are:

Ridgewood, Tenafly, Westwood, GlenRock, Haddonfield, Florham Park,Madison, Hasbrouck Heights, Prince-ton and Ridgefield

To be sure, these are all wonderfullybeautifully places in New Jersey, wellworth celebrating and very attractivefor residents and visitors alike.

But retirement? We’re not so surethat many elderly residents would

agree with you.There’s a reason why so many New

Jerseyans retire elsewhere – it’scheaper. And, in contrast to Movoto’sinterpretation of the list’s criteria,cheaper is better, because most peoplewould rather see their hard-earnedmoney go toward vacations than taxes,for example. Many retirees go to Flori-da not just for the weather but for theabsence of a state income tax.

Maybe if New Jersey was more af-fordable, more elderly residents wouldstay at home, near their friends andfamily. But since it’s not, many don’t.

We are probably not the only oneswho laughed when we considered anyplace in New Jersey – other than, say, abeach town such as Ocean City (whichranked No. 26 on the list, behindplaces such as Hoboken) – a “good”place to retire. And that’s a shame, anda problem all at the same time.

Our residents shouldn’t have to pre-pare to leave when they retire.

The best places to retire ... in NJ?We didn’t realize this was still an option

Your thoughtsDo you plan to retire in New Jersey? Orwill you flock south, or to somewhere elseoutside the Garden State? Share yourthoughts on this, and other topics, in a let-ter to the editor.

Event is co-sponsored by the watershed, library

On May 10, residents can take a step to-ward learning about the condition of theirwater at “How Clean is my Stream?” anevent led by Hoagland and co-sponsored bythe watershed and the Pennington PublicLibrary at Kunkel Park. The idea behindthe program, Hoagland explained, is toallow participants to experience some-thing the watershed has been doing for itsmore than 65-year existence.

“It is important for people to get inti-

mate with their local water. I could havelectured the material or brought peopleinto a lab, but I want to go out to the waterand engage people in activities,” he said.

The event will consist of looking at twobodies of water in Kunkel Park, a smallerstream and the Stony Brook. First, partici-pants will visually assess the brook to findout the factors that are contributing to itshealth. For example, Hoagland said a treecanopy is a good sign that organisms areprocessing food. Next, water test kits willbe used to analyze sediment, nutrients andpollutants. Hoagland explained that thisstep would reveal if anything is wrongwith the water, but not exactly why. To help

pinpoint the cause, the discussion will in-corporate GIS maps, which show whatland use upstream might contribute to thehealth of the brook.

The most interesting segment of the ad-venture will be the “biological assessment,or the chance to go catch stuff,” Hoaglandsaid. Participants will use a kick seine,which is a fine mesh net, to disturb the sed-iment in a riffle, which is a miniaturerapid. In the riffles dwell macro inverte-brates, Crayfish and shellfish. Whatevermay be living in the water will determinethe water quality, Hoagland said.

For community members whowish to further get involved withtaking care of the water, the wa-tershed has run a program calledStreamWatch since 1992.StreamWatch volunteers monitormore than 40 sites within the wa-tershed through chemical datacollecting and biological monitor-ing by going out on site visitsevery two weeks. The programhas had a long commitment toplacing volunteers and teachingpeople how they can make a dif-ference.

“When teaching kids, I alwayswant to impart a sense of wonderand reverence. Then, I think the

ultimate task is answering thequestion of ‘how can I continue tomake a difference?’” Hoaglandsaid.

The May 10 program is intend-ed for participants roughly 16years old and older. However, thewatershed offers various pro-grams for younger childrenthroughout the spring and sum-mer.
