The Sun

At the Montgomery Board ofEducation meeting on Jan. 28, Ha-rassment, Intimidation and Bul-lying was a major topic of discus-sion. HIB is one of the routinemonthly reports accepted by theMontgomery Board of Education.

The board authorized an inves-tigation and legal opinion by theboard attorney to provide his ac-count of whether the school dis-trict has been compliant with theprocedures required under theAnti-Bullying Bill of Rights, withregard to complaints claiming ha-rassment, intimidation and bully-ing. The Anti-Bullying Bill ofRights requires the board to in-vestigate any complaint that al-leges non-compliance with theprocedures required.

While the specific requests andinvestigation could not be dis-cussed at the meeting, severaltownship residents made com-ments with their thoughts aboutwhat needs should be addressed.

I applaud the board for look-ing for this kind of legal guid-ance, because I think we all con-cur that we want to be sure that

Local East Amwell HistorianJim Davidson will present a pro-gram focusing on the events inthe Hopewell area from the nightthe Lindbergh baby was kid-napped from his home in EastAmwell until the body of CharlesLindbergh Jr. was found in thewoods off Carter Road inHopewell Township.

At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 12at the Hopewell ElementarySchool, as part of the HopewellPublic Librarys lecture series,Davidson, author of the recentlyreleased New Jerseys Lind-bergh Kidnapping and Trial,will give a one-hour PowerPoint

presentation entitled Hopewellwas like a Roman Circus.

In researching his book, David-son and his partner Mark Falzini,archivist at the State Police Head-

quarters, uncovered more than1,000 pictures of the tragedy thathad not been seen since the 1930s.Many of these pictures will beshown that night.

Davidsons entire life growingup in Flemington has been inter-twined with the Lindbergh kid-napping case. His first memory ofthe Crime of the Century wasoverhearing his parents mentionthe Hauptmann execution. It wasbroadcast live on the radio andhis father said that when theswitch was pulled to electrocuteHauptmann all the lights dimmedin Trenton.

Later, Davidson became ac-

quainted with William Allen whohad discovered the baby in thewoods in 1932.

Growing up in Flemington,Davidson knew many partici-

pants in the Lindbergh case, in-cluding Lloyd Fisher who was adefense attorney for BrunoHauptmann, jurors and police of-ficers associated with the trial.Besides his recent book on theLindbergh kidnapping, Davidsonalso was a co-author of EastAmwell Township with othertownship residents. Currently helives across from Highfields, theLindbergh Estate on LindberghRoad.

OPEN HOUSE

BusingfromMontgomerySchools

By NORA CARNEVALEThe Sun

Don Sears, coordinator ofAbundant Harvest CommunityKitchen at Montgomery Evangel-ical Free Church, explained theorganizations partnership withBentley Community Services asa natural progression. Thecommunity kitchen has beenhosting free hot lunches for the

community every Saturday from11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. since October.

Many people need the food,but many people need the fellow-ship. Some families come to get ahot meal they need, but otherscome because they can benefitfrom the socialization, Searssaid.

Bentley Community Servicesis an organization based in Belle

Mead with a mission to help fami-lies who are in need but do notnecessarily qualify for govern-ment assistance. Bentley hasbeen donating food and suppliesto Abundant Harvest CommunityKitchen almost every week sincelast fall.

Additionally, once the two or-ganizations began working to-gether, Bentley became availableto some of Abundant Harvests

guests to determine if they are inneed of family assistance.

On Saturday, Feb. 8, from 11:30a.m. to 1:30 p.m., once againAbundant Harvest CommunityKitchen at Montgomery Evangel-ical Free Church will serve itstypical free hot lunch, open to all.But this time, Bentley Communi-ty Services will also be there, dis-tributing provisions of healthy

groceries, fresh produce andbasic needs products.

These winter care packages arefor working families who do notqualify for assistance but arestruggling to make ends meet.They may have incurred a job lay-off, fewer work hours and pay re-duction, an unforeseen emer-gency, medical expenses or a fi-nancial setback. Even if familiesin attendance do not qualify for

Bentley Community Servicescare packages, everyone who at-tends will be provided with a bagthat they then are able to fill withgroceries and supplies.

All attendees will be able tolearn from a presentation as well.Rachel Simpers, registered dieti-tian at ShopRite in Hillsborough,

we are operating in accordancewith the law and that each of ourstudents needs to be in a very safeenvironment and that they emo-tionally feel comfortable being inour schools, said Paula Simp-kins, a township resident.

Simpkins also wanted to knowwhat type of information will be

available to the public followingthe investigation and why. Sheasked if there is a deadline forthis to be published.

I would like for the opinion tobe bifurcated and separated fromthe information under the attor-ney-client privilege. The anti-bul-lying task force has expandedtheir recommendations to thegovernor and to the commission-er on education to not solely limitit to physical characteristics. Ithink we need to take a serious

look at that, Simpkins said. Iam concerned about all studentswho are harassed, intimidated,bullied. One student is too much.Even though our numbers may

appear like they are low, one stu-dent is still too many.

Another resident said, fromstories Ive gotten from other par-ents and from my own personalexperience...there have beenmany instances in which in-stances are not reaching the HIBlevel. My son getting beat up be-cause he has a lesbian mothershould probably reach the HIBlevel. There are different under-standings of what bullying reallymeans, and there are different

levels.The speakers urged the board

to seriously consider how it eval-uates instances of HIB.

In other news:The proposed working budget

for 2014-2015 school year opera-tions was presented and showedroughly a 4 percent decrease fromlast year. Major items included anew turf field, which Board Sec-retary Thomas Venanzi explainedwould be purchased from setaside funds in a capital reserve,

so that we would not have to go toa referendum and risk kids nothaving a field to play on.

Another improvement ex-plained was the purchase of newhot water heaters, because two ofthe three at Lawrence MiddleSchool have failed. The budgetwill continue to be worked on be-fore the board approves it.

In reference to several trans-portation expenditures on theproposed budget, it was noted

that Montgomery TownshipSchool District is the second mostefficient district in regard totransportation in Somerset Coun-ty.

chool budgets are on the horizon

statewide. There once was a

time when residents had a di-

rect way to give their input to the

budget, by voting yay or nay for

its passage. That opportunity has, for

the most part, been removed in our

state, but it doesnt mean you cant,and shouldnt, be involved in the

process.

The toughest job in New Jersey

right now? School board member has

to be at or near the top of the list.

Whether you support Gov. Christies

approach to budgeting, school board

members have had a tough time deal-

ing with a reduction in state aid over

the last few years.

The vast majority of board mem-

bers dont want to raise taxes and/or

cut services. But, sometimes, there is

no other option.

Pretty much across the state, school

districts will be doing less with less.

But did your board cut enough from

the budget? Too much? Do you agree

with the tax rate? Do you think it

should have been higher to provide

more services? What are your ideas

for cutting expenses and raising rev-

enues?

Whatever the budget situation

proves to be this year, what needs to

happen between now and next year to

make things better?

We invite you to write letters to the

editor to share your thoughts with the

rest of the community. If you support

the budget, if you oppose it, if you

have ideas that could bring additionalrevenue into your school district or

help to cut costs, now is the time to

share them.

Between now and when the school

budget is passed, be involved as much

as you can. Attend school board meet-

ings and express your thoughts.

Youll be sending a message to your

board of education regarding what

you would like to see take place in fu-

ture years years that promise to be

difficult yet again.

will speak on healthy eating and nutrition.ShopRite, a provider to Bentley Communi-ty Services, is the sponsor of theevent.

We both are striving to work for thegreater good to help make a positive differ-ence in our communities. We are so

thrilled to have Rachel, the registered dieti-tian from ShopRite in Hillsborough, speak-ing to us about healthy eating and nutri-tion, something we all need to know

about, Sears said.Toward the end of March, Sears ex-plained a plan in the works for a largeevent aimed at spreading hunger aware-ness.

He hopes to screen the film A Place atthe Table and have a symposium-style re-ception during which members of the com-munity can find out how they can help

with the worldwide hunger epidemic.Hunger is an overwhelming issue, and

it is important to let people know what justone person can do to help starving fami-

lies.The event on Feb. 8 is open to everyoneto enjoy a free meal and learn abouthealthy eating habits. Abundant HarvestCommunity Kitchen is located at Mont-gomery Evangelical Free Church, 246 Grig-gstown Road, in the Belle Mead section ofMontgomery Township, one mile east ofRoute 206.

Elder law: Why you need a long-term care plan

At Rothamel Bratton, ourelder law lawyers under-stand developing a long-

term care plan is one of thosenecessary evils. Its not something

you look forward to doing; how-ever, to motivate you, considerthat the cost of one year of nurs-ing home care, in a private room,hovers around $120,000 in theSouthern New Jersey andPhiladelphia area.Our clients find that having along-term care plan in placehelps them and their lovedones to feel more relaxed,knowing they are financially

secure and wont be devastatedby long-term care costs.There are three main ways topay for long-term careThere are three basic ways to

pay for nursing home care;

youll notice we dont mentionMedicare. Medicare paymentsfor long-term care are extreme-

ly limited and cannot be count-ed on for the long term.Private Pay if your assets pro-duce $120,000 (plus inflation)each year, you may be able to

private pay for your long-termcare without substantiallyreducing your principal.Long Term Care Insurance long-term care insurance is anexcellent investment for those

who can pay the premiums andqualify. Ask a qualified elderlaw attorney for a referral to atrusted long-term care insur-ance agent.Medicaid if you cannot

afford to private pay, cannotafford long-term care insur-ance premiums or cannot qual-ify for long term care insur-ance, Medicaid may be a goodfit for you. Medicaid is a federal pro-gram that is administered by

your state; it pays for long-term

care, if you cannot. Typically, trusts, gifting pro-grams and caregiver contractsare used as part of a Medicaidplan; however, each long-term

plan is customized to the indi-viduals financial and family sit-uation.

Where to get help with elder

law and establishing a long-

term care planAs with all elder law and estateplanning, the sooner you con-sult with an attorney and mapout a plan, the more money

youll be able to protect, andthe more choices you will have.

But, its never too late to start.Protect the ones you love.Request a free copy of ourElder Law Checklist - [email protected] for your free copy. For afree consult, contact RothamelBrattons Attorney, CharlesBratton, at (856) 857-6000.

The word probate conjures fear andconfusion in most people. Society hasbeen taught to fear probate because

it is a difficult, time consuming and expen-sive process that will lead to agony and frus-tration. People come to Price & Price ElderLaw worried about being subjected to theprobate process. Fortunately, clients quicklyfind that their worry is unfounded. Instead,it was the product of fear mongering by indi-viduals and organizations trying to pray onthose fears to make money supposedly help-

ing people to avoid probate. The purpose ofthis article is to give people real, accurateinformation about probate so they dontworry needlessly about the probate processand save money they would otherwise spendtrying to avoid it.Blacks legal diction defines probate as acourt procedure by which a will is proved tobe valid or invalid, though in current usage,the term probate has been expanded togenerally refer to the legal process whereinthe estate of a decedent is administered.The process of administering an estate isdone by the executor (if the decedent hada will) or the administrator (if the decedentdidnt have a will). The executor or admin-istrator is appointed by the surrogate in thecounty where the decedent lived. Theexecutor or administrators job is to collectthe estate assets, pay the estate taxes, paythe estate liabilities and distribute remain-

ing estate assets to the beneficiaries.The probate process only deals with assetsthat dont automatically pass to someoneelse. For example, a joint account that auto-matically passes to the surviving accountowner is not subject to the probate process.A life insurance policy or account with anamed beneficiary such as an IRA or annu-ity would also avoid the probate process.Because of this, it is possible for someoneto have their assets structured in such a wayas to avoid the probate process altogether.

The estate would still have to pay taxes andcreditors, but the movement of assets tobeneficiaries would be simple. If someonehas assets that are subject to probate, theprocess is relatively straightforward. Peoplecan administer estates on their own withoutthe assistance of an attorney. Most people,however, enlist the aid of an attorneybecause the probate is relatively easy tomanage with the guidance of an experi-enced attorney well versed in the probateprocess.If your family is dealing with any challengesrelated to the passing of a loved one, pleasecontact our team at Price & Price ElderLaw at (856) 429-5522. We will be happy toreview the situation and guide you throughthe probate and estate administrationprocess. Learn more about our full menuof legal services atwww.pricelawpractice.com.

Common myths about spider and varicose veins

Having cared for peoplewith vari cose and spidervei ns for dec ade s, we

have had the opportunity tolearn what women think abouttheir legs! Many misconceptionsexist, most often perpetuated by

mothers, friends, general non-scientific internet articles oropinions. Unfortunately, thismisinformation has dissuadedwome n from g ett ing the ir l egs tolook as good they can!1.) There is nothing I can doto get rid of these ugly veins;my mom and grandmother hadthem so I am doomed.The care of varicose and spidervein s has impr oved dramati cal lyover the years. Treatment ofthe large, grape-like varicosevein s are now per formed in theoffice without general anesthe-sia, without hospitalization andwithout the need for surgery.The simple time-efficient treat-ment of the smaller spidervein s (tel angi ecta sia s) has real -ly not changed in years butinvolves solutions that nolonger burn or hurt.2.) It is painful to have the

veins treated .Perhaps the most common com-ment we hear from patients is,Wow! If I knew it was going tobe like this, I would have doneit years ago. While no one hasgreat memories of injections asa child, the size of the needlewe uti lize and our tech niqu esallow us to perform these proce-dures virtually pain-free.Our most fearful patientsleave amazed that the treat-ments were easily per-formed and were, tr uly,painless!3.) You get varicose veinsfrom wearing high heeledshoes.Whi le many mothers t hrea t-ened their younger daugh-ters with this, there really isno connection! Women canenjoy wearing the 6 stilettos,if that is their desire, withoutworryi ng that they are crea tingspider veins on their legs!4.) If you cross your legs, youwil l g et vari cose veins .Anot her old w ives tale perpet-uated by mom! While if one

were to sit with their leg scrossed in one position for sev-eral hours, there might be anincreased propensity to developblood clots (highly unlikely),there is no scientific basis tosuggest that this will lead tovari cose vein s.5.) Spider veins are danger-ous.

Abso lutely not true! Do not bescared into getting your spiderveins treated because of a f earof blood clot, or some otherhorrible outcome. The truth is,spider veins are not dangerousand, left unattended, will notcause any significant healthproblem!

In some cases, varicose veins leftuntreated may lead to anembarrassing appearance,unnecessary pain, discomfortand or the increased potentialfor a bleeding event.6.) So, if the veins are notcausing discomfort or pain andare not dangerous, why treatthem?

The best reason to treatvein s is to make your legslook better and make youfeel better about yourself!Many women are inhibit-ed about wearing shortsor bathing suits. That isnot necessary if the rea-son you are doing that isto avoid showing your

legs! So many womenhave told us that theirlives have changed since havingtheir veins cared for.

All of our pati ents a re encour-

aged to walk on the day of treat-ment. In fact, we encouragepatients to walk as much as pos-sible. Those receiving injectionsmay leave and workout immedi-ately following the 20-minute

treatment! Some even stop induring their lunch hour toreceive treatment and are backto work, fully functional, in theafternoon!Since 1963, The CardiovascularCare Group has been the lead-ing Vascular Surgery group inNew Jersey.
