    At the Montgomery townshipcommittee meeting on Oct. 18,eighth grader at MontgomeryUpper Middle School and currentCadette with Girl Scout Troop No.60949 Aayushi Doshi offered hertroops plans for their SilverAward project, which was ap-proved by the committee.

    Doshi, who was there on behalf

    of her other two group members,Pooja Jain and Vicki Lu, ex-plained how the Silver Awardproject is required to be a commu-nity project that stays sustainablefor at least three to four years.

    With the help of MontgomeryTownships Open Space Coordi-nator Lauren Wasilauski, Doshiexplained how the girls came upwith the idea to write reports onthe old Montgomery schoolhous-

    es, and specified which five hous-es they were going to focus on Gaisors Furniture, Bedensvilleschool (next to Orchard Hill Ele-mentary School), MontgomeryMedical Associates, 242 HollowRoad (a former dance studio,which is now for sale), and 590Belle Mead-Griggstown Road.

    lon, who has been involved withthe event since its initiation.

    What is Montessori and is it right for my child?

    Montessori education offersopportunities for children developtheir potential as they stepout into the world as engaged,competent, innovative, responsi-ble, and respectful citizens with alifelong appreciation of learning.Montessori students demonstratethat they think critically, workcollaboratively and with curiosity

    a skill set needed in the 21stcentury.

    Andrew McAfee, principal re-search scientist at the Center forDigital Business in the MIT SloanSchool of Management sites thevirtues of Montessori educationin the Harvard Business Reviewarticle, Montessori Builds Inno-

    vators. He states, There are stri-dent disagreements these daysover every aspect of American ed-ucational policy, except for one.Everyone thinks it would be greatif we could better teach studentshow to innovate. So shouldnt webe paying a great deal of attentionto the educational method thatproduced, among others, Larry

    Page, Sergei Brin, Jeff Bezos,Jimmy Wales, Peter Drucker, JuliaChild, David Blaine, and Sean P.Diddy Combs? They were all stu-dents in Montessori schools.

    The Montessori method, devel-oped by Dr. Maria Montessori inthe early 1900s, is an approach toeducation built around a childsintrinsic desire to learn. It encour-ages development of the wholechild physical, social, emotion-al, and cognitive in addition totheir academic progress.

    Just step inside a Montessoriclassroom and youll immediatelynotice how each room is uniquelydesigned and equipped to matchthe developmental level of thechildren. Classrooms feature low

    sinks, chairs, and tables and anarray of activities in language,math, science and geography; allneatly arranged on shelves readyfor the child's use. This intentionaldesign fosters independence, careof self and the freedom to makechoices. In elementary class-rooms, youre likely to see largertables for group work, interactive

    whiteboards, and areas for sciencelabs and manipulative materialsthat reinforce lessons and skills

    Montessori classrooms are in-tentionally warm and inviting andalways noted for their unclutteredspaces. Natural lighting and softcolors set the stage for activitiesthat are interactive, focused andcalm. There is a place for every-thing; which in turn conveys asense of harmony and order thatcomforts and inspires the child. Inthis safe and empowering environ-ment, students find joy in learn-ing. They learn the way they learnbest.

    Because the name Montessoriis so widely used, one might as-sume that all Montessori centers

    and schools are part of a franchiseor chain. However, this is not thecase as there is no central authori-ty that licenses use of the Montes-sori name. One way to distin-guish Montessori schools fromeach other is to look at the teach-ers credentials and AmericanMontessori Society accreditation.

    The American Montessori Soci-

    ety (AMS) is a professional organi-zation dedicated to supportingquality Montessori education andis a leading Montessori accredit-ing agency in the United States.When choosing a Montessorischool, it is important to distin-guish between member and ac-credited schools. AMS member-ship is open to any Montessorischool that agrees to comply withthe AMS Code of Ethics. However,a Montessori School that holds anAMS accreditation means theSchool has been through a rigor-ous evaluation process and meetsa well-defined standard of excel-lence. Only schools that have beenAMS full members for a yearor more are eligible for accredita-

    tion and only about 10% of 1,200AMS member schools are accred-ited.

    By choosing an AMS fully-ac-credited Montessori School foryour childs education, you canbe assured that the School andthese teachers adhere to thehighest educational standardsand will surely prepare yourchild for success.

    about issues that affect everyones lives aswell as providing members with an oppor-tunity to engage our local government ascitizens. Had you attended this past debate

    night, or any of our other functions, thereshould be no doubt that our singular pur-pose serves to disseminate pertinent infor-mation, oversee government proceedings,and support the function of our electedand appointed officials for the benefit of our community.

    Election Day is less than twoweeks away. Are you ready tocast your vote? Do you know

    where each of the candidates standson the issues important to you?

    If not, its not too late.Todays technology makes it relative-

    ly easy for voters to get at least a basicunderstanding of political candidatesand their positions on the issues.

    Want news coverage? A lot of thestories that have been written can stillbe found on news organizations web-sites.

    Want to get information straightfrom the candidates? At least in thebigger races, they have websites of their own. Now, we all have to takewhat we find at candidates websiteswith a little skepticism. After all, its

    their website. And they are going tomake the best of it.

    Still, one usually is able to get a goodidea of what someone will do if he orshe is elected and be able to compare itto his or her opponent.

    Whats most important is to get asmuch information as possible beforeentering the voting booth. Dont cast a

    vote without understanding the issueson the table and what each of the can-didates has to say about those issues.In many, if not most races, there are

    clear differences between those hopingto win on Election Day. Your votes willimpact your government.

    The presidential election naturallyattracts the most attention, but dontforget about local elections, too.

    While more people traditionally

    show up at the polls when there is amajor office up for grabs, chances areyour local municipal governing bodyor school board will have more of animpact on your everyday life. Propertytaxes, government services such as po-lice, fire, street repair and the well-being of your school system all are inthe hands of your local leaders.

    So take a few minutes to get to knowthe candidates who want your vote.Then be sure to show up and cast yourballot.

    in our opinion

    Decision time With Election Day fast approaching, are you ready to cast an informed vote?

    Study, then voteTodays technology makes it possiblefor everyone to get a good idea ofwhere candidates stand on importantissues. Take the time to research thehopefuls before you make the trek tothe voting booth.

    and Northern California, and aneclectic menu to complementeach, including foods like venisonand salmon.

    Aside from the food and wineoffered, the event will also incor-porate live performances by localmusicians, and a silent auction,which Hallman explained is themain moneymaker of the night.

    Lots of people donate itemsfrom the community, like artists

    and businesses, she said.Everything that we offer at theauction is local. There are differ-ent prizes like golf outings, art,

    and jewelry. Its pretty cool.Hallman also detailed how the

    library tries to keep the art andmusicians at the event local aswell to personalize the event.

    We try to support other localpeople with this event as well,she said. I have a young mannamed Chris Aggabao, who is avery talented keyboardist andstudent at Montgomery HighSchool, playing at the event, and Iam expecting the MontgomeryHigh School Art Honor Society toproduce some Northwestern artto decorate the library. The li-brary entrance will feature some

    really cool totem poles and a giantthunderbird created by a localartist, Randie Zimmerman.

    Since the Mary Jacobs Library

    is the only library in SomersetCounty that is privately ownedand operated the expensesarent included in municipaltaxes for Montgomery Township

    all of the librarys expensesraised by the FMJL, the volunteerorganization with annual duesdedicated to providing all of thefinancial support to the libraryand its programs.

    Because of this, the FMJL re-lies on the proceeds from the an-nual fundraiser.

    Fallon also explained how theevent gives the library a lot of ex-posure, which is essential since it

    relies on donations.Its a very good event to keepthe needs of the TMJLF satisfiedand the progress of the library

    visible to the public, she said.Most people who come get toenjoy having an event in the li-brary and meet up with a lot of their friends that they may notsee often. Its a nice social event; itbrings in people of all aspects of social life in Rocky Hill and Mont-gomery.

    So far, the FMJL has obtained10 sponsors for the event, includ-ing The Bank Of Princeton; RBCWealth Management; Mason Grif-

    fin and Pierson, PC; Dr. Mary De-Cicco, DMD; Environmental Dy-namics; Zook Dinon, CPA; Rotaryof Montgomery and Rocky Hill;Princeton Orthopaedic Associ-ates; Cassidy Turley; and Radia-tion Data.

    The FMJL is always looking forvolunteers to help its operation.For more information about thelibrary or the FMJL or to make adonation, visit somerset.lib.nj.us/maryjacobs.htm.

    2010 to No. 61 today. This declinecaused a number of residents topoint the finger at former super-intendent of schools Earl Kimand also school board memberAndrea Bradley, who is now run-ning for Township Committee. Acloser look at the data would leadone to the conclusion that thesefingers are perhaps pointing inthe wrong direction.

    The New Jersey Monthly rank-ings were based on three overallcomponents: student perform-

    ance (test scores), student out-comes (graduation rates), andschool environment. A cursorylook at the data reveals that Mont-gomery is still highly ranked inboth academics and outcomes,the areas over which the schoolboard members and administra-tors exert the most control. Whenasked, the editor of New JerseyMonthly, Kenneth Schlager stat-ed, Your school was No. 5 overallin Student Performance and Stu-dent Outcomes.

    The fall in Montgomerys rank-ing is mainly attributable to theschool environment component a relatively subjective area thatincludes class size, student/teacher ratio, AP tests offered andpercent of teachers with gradu-ate degrees. When we say subjec-tive, it is not that these areas can-not be objectively measured, butthat the choice of these measuresrather than others (such as thenumber of school clubs, related

    arts programs, or athletics teams)is a subjective choice. On thiscomponent, Montgomery rankedNo. 197, and the biggest declinewas in class size where Mont-gomery fell from No. 114 to No.200. This is mostly the result of agrowing study body and a rela-tively flat budget.

    When Montgomery voters de-feated the school budget a coupleof years ago, they asked our edu-cators to do more with less, andthey have met that challenge. In

    this light, we should thank EarlKim and Andrea Bradley for theirdedication in maintaining a highquality school system in thesetrying financial times.

    As one final point, we note that

    rankings are meaningful only in-sofar as they reflect our values.New Jersey Monthly used a par-ticular set of weights to combinemany school attributes into a sin-gle score. Different choices of weights would yield differentrankings, and Montgomery couldconceivably rank anywhere be-tween No. 5 and No. 197. Beforeproclaiming that the sky isfalling, we urge you to look at thedata. Compare Montgomerys sta-tistics with a few of the 51 schoolsthat outrank it now, but did not in2010. We doubt that many Mont-gomery parents would be willingto trade their numbers for ours.

    Bradley would be assetto town committee

    When Andrea Bradley joinedthe Montgomery TownshipSchool Board, she committed towork on the way the business of the school board was conducted.She said she would work to openup the process to more voices andconsider input from more con-stituencies. She also committed tocommunicate more effectivelywhen and why decisions aremade. Andrea Bradley did thisand more. Now, as she hopes tomove to the town committee, Iknow her contributions to ourtown will continue.

    Andreas intelligence is atremendous asset to the commu-nity. She takes her background asa lawyer and uses it to dissect andsynthesize the information pre-sented at the lengthy meetings

    into thoughtful, concise positionsthat she presents back to the com-munity. Andrea spends countlesshours researching and gatheringinformation on a variety of is-sues and never hesitates to look atanother side of an issue beforesuggesting a creative solution to aproblem.

    Andrea is always considerateand mindful that she works forour town, whether in her volun-teer positions on the PTA or theBoard of Education. Andrea is a

    tireless worker who will bring anew openness and vitality to thetown committee that it currentlylacks.

    Andrea Bradley has a breath of knowledge and whole host of con-

    tacts to help move our town for-ward. She will make certain weare fiscally sound and propertyvalues rebound. I know that An-drea Bradley will be a tremen-dous asset to the town committee.Vote Andrea Bradley on Tuesday,Nov. 6.

Christieinitiated this program a few yearsago, which evaluates towns on acommon set of 50 best practicesthat will help improve financialaccountability. Only 4 percent of the 566 New Jersey municipali-ties earned a perfect score, andMontgomery was one of them.This not only makes me proud,but it also makes me confident

    that the Republican team de-serves our support.Christine Madrid is already

    part of the current township

    committee team and is runningfor another term. Her accom-plishments are outstanding. Inaddition to the items above,Christine and the team recentlysaved taxpayers $600,000 with adebt refinancing plan, earned oneof the highest credit ratings inthe entire state, and completed asewer consolidation plan that willallow us to close two aging plantsand save sewer users millions of dollars.

    Her running mate Chris Sug-den has been involved in Mont-gomery for years. Hes currentlyon the Zoning Board, served onthe Budget Advisory Committee,

    and has coached numerous youthsports. More importantly, Chris isa financial expert and thats thetype of experience we need on the

    Township Committee. Chris jobis to work with companies andhelp them grow, expand their op-erations, and hire more employ-ees. He will be a champion for ourtaxpayers and the local businesscommunity.

    Even though spending is downunder Republican leadership,they are still focusing on the long-term health of Montgomery. Theyhave moved forward with fourmajor road projects, includingCherry Valley Road and HollowRoad, and preserved 300 acres of new open space. Mayor Ed Trzas-ka has spoken numerous times onthe importance of protecting our

    rural character, and I know Chris-tine and Chris feel the same way.Every election is different. De-

    ciding whom to vote for can be

    very difficult or very easy. Thisyear, our choice is clear. UnderRepublican leadership, Mont-gomery is flourishing and Im vot-ing for Christine Madrid andChris Sugden. For the good of town, I ask you to do the same.

    Penny L. Brach

    Petraske, Bradleyhave proven leadership

    I served on the MontgomeryTownship Committee for fouryears. Throughout those years, Iworked with both Democrats andRepublicans who served togetheron the committee.

    I see stark contrasts betweenthen and now. Back then, we helddetailed budget meetings in pub-lic with individual department

    heads. We had a disciplined finan-cial management plan. We fo-cused on efficiencies and sharedservices, earning awards for both.At the same time, we preservedhundreds of acres of open space,built the community center,cleaned up Skillman Village, andfixed the design of the Rte. 206 by-pass.

    When Democratic leaders leftoffice, we left a responsible budg-et surplus and no deficit.

    I find it ironic that the Republi-can candidates for TownshipCommittee are so determined todiscredit us. Since theyve lived inMontgomery only a short time,

    perhaps they are unaware thatthe cornerstones of their cam-paign are fabrications. Their

    focus on the past is to distract thepublic from whats happeningnow with their own municipalbudget.

    The budget adopted by this all-Republican township committeeavoids painful choices by usingmillions in proceeds from the saleof Skillman Village to fund cur-rent operating expenses. If youread the spin in their budget pres-entation on the town website,youll see this is described as di-

    rect property tax relief, but taxeshavent gone down. Instead, theyare recklessly using proceedsfrom a one-time asset sale to fundoperating expenses.

    Montgomery needs leaderscommitted to the long-term vitali-ty of our community, and whowill insure decisions are made inpublic meetings, rather than incaucus meetings behind closeddoors.

    I am certain that Mark Pe-traske and Andrea Bradley willdo just that. Through years of ex-cellent volunteer service, theyhave proven their leadership abil-ity and fair-mindedness. Pleasegive them your vote on Nov. 6.

    Madrid, Sugden willbring back fiscal sanity

    In his Oct. 17 letter to the Edi-tor, Cliff Wilson complainedabout the resurfacing job on Hol-low Road. Maybe Mr. Wilson for-got that we are under a state-man-dated spending cap in both thetownship as well as for our schoolsystem as a result of past fiscal ir-responsibility at both the local

    and state level. We are now pay-ing off the debt that was piled upeverywhere and also resulted inexorbitant property taxes.

    So yes, I would encourage fel-low residents to drive up northon Hollow Road so they can seehow we all have to tighten ourbelts to regain fiscal sanity. But,at the top of the hill, I would en-courage all to make a sharp rightturn and proceed on the unpaveddirt road section of DutchtownZion Road. That is the same roadwe take to pay our property taxes.After countless petitions and pub-lic comments over the last 10years to the Democratically con-

    trolled township committee, thatbit of road is still muddy, potholed, with flying rocks, and re-sultant chipped and crackedwindshields. Area residentswould gladly trade the dirt roadfor Hollow Road paving!

    Last year, New Jersey StateSenator Dohertys efforts to getmore state funding for ourschools was flatly rejected byBoard of Education member An-drea Bradley. So instead of get-ting more state aid for ourschools, Montgomery residentswind up paying 95 percent of ourschool costs while leaving mil-lions of our state tax dollars onthe table for the state to spendelsewhere. Mrs. Bradley certainlywasnt thinking about Mont-gomerys taxpayers. So to makeends meet, we now pay extra forafter-school student activity fees,sports, student parking at thehigh school and suffer triple tierbusing.

    Fortunately, we have capableresidents who want to return usto fiscal sanity, so vote for Chris-tine Madrid and Chris Sugden fortownship committee.

    Put competence backwith Petraske, BradleyMontgomerys all-Republican

    Township Committee is demon-strating a governance style neverbefore seen in Montgomery:overtly political, short-termthinking is causing a fiscal fiasco.

    With a governing body, 40 per-cent of which have been appoint-ed by local power brokers, exag-geration, distortion and decep-tion are the management tools of preference used to advance anagenda of flawed policies bypoliticians who have not hesitat-

    ed to put party before people, poli-tics before purpose, and privilegebefore performance.

    With unanimity, the townshipcommittee zealously attempted todisprove the axiom of Economics101 that no enterprise can sur-vive on reductions alone, as redflags surfaced everywhere theTownship no longer has the re-sources to conduct constructioninspections within the durationrequired by law; deferred mainte-nance is the policy of choice asmany of the local roads reflectthe condition of neglect onemight find in a third world coun-try; they terminated the servicesof one of the finest municipalcourt judges in the state, a Mont-gomery resident, preferring touse the Hillsborough Court sys-tem forcing Montgomery policeofficers to travel to Hillsboroughfor every court appearance; andSkillman Village was then soldand the bond issues were not to-tally retired as promised. Ratherthan admitting to the necessity of a tax increase to solve a $1.4 mil-lion shortfall in the police budgetproblem they created, the Town-ship Committee diverted pro-ceeds from the sale of SkillmanVillage to temporarily addressthe budgetary deficiency for po-lice protection. Taxpayers arenow left with a $5 million dollarmortgage on property Mont-gomery no longer owns.

    Montgomery residents cannot

    permit, or afford, these perilousfiscal practices to continue. Itstime to put competence back onthe Township Committee withthe election of Mark Petraske andAndrea Bradley on Nov. 6. They

    are prepared and committed toending Montgomerys fiscal fias-cos.

    Robert Kress

    Madrid, Sugden will keepthings moving forwardThe 2012 campaign season is

    upon us and Im getting ready forwhat has become an unfortunatetrend misleading and falsecharges from the local Democrat-ic candidates. I dont know whythis started, but it has been goingon since at least 2009.

    In 2009, the Democrats claimedthat if Skillman Village was sold

    to the county as a park it wouldcause 3,000 new homes to be builtin Montgomery. They also ac-cused the mayor at the time of se-cretly meeting with a developer.In 2010, they cried that the newCOAH housing plan would mean700 additional homes and that theRepublican Township Committeewas against video recordingmeetings. In 2011, they shiftedand levied charges that the Re-publicans made a secret deal todisband our entire police force.

    What all of these claims fromthe local Democrats have in com-mon is that all were proven to beblatantly false. Skillman Park ishere, but no 3,000 homes. TheCOAH housing plan turned out tohave no increase of homes in it.The Republicans not only startedrecording Township Committeemeetings, but also PlanningBoard and Zoning Board meet-ings (live and archived). And last Ichecked, our police force is stillhere and performing well.

    So let me ask when do we stopbelieving anything the local De-mocrats say? When do we tuneout their ridiculous charges thatare desperate attempts to regainpower in Montgomery? Sadly, thisyears Democratic candidates,Mark Petraske and AndreaBradley are using the same play-book.

    They have already claimed thatthe Republicans are running ourgovernment behind closed doors.

    Really? For eight years, the De-mocrats refused to make meet-ings available live to residents,something the Republicans arenow doing. They also said the Re-publican team isnt financially re-

    sponsible. Really? Governmentspending is below 2004 levels and$6 million lower than what theDemocrats were spending whilein control. In addition, the De-mocrats wasted $73 million insurplus, causing a huge structur-al budget deficit, something theRepublicans are successfully clos-ing they recently saved the town$600,000 with a debt refinancingplan.

    I can go on and on with exam-ples, but I dont think I need to.Montgomery is finally heading inthe right direction and cannot re-turn to the poor leadership of thepast. On Nov. 6, please vote for the

    local Republican candidates forTownship Committee, ChristineMadrid and Chris Sugden. Theywill keep our Montgomery mov-ing forward.

    Bradley, Petraske haveskills township needsSide-stepping the political mud

    puddles, I am writing to endorse from across the aisle AndreaBradley for Montgomery Town-ship Committee. I support An-drea not just for personal reasonsbut because I know firsthandwhat a gift of wisdom and serviceshe will bring to our community.Andrea has demonstrated thatdoing the right thing for yourcommunity is not a politicalissue, it is personal. It is aboutneighbors helping and servingneighbors, it is about buildingstrong schools, it is about volun-teerism, families, playgroundsand loyalty.

    Andrea epitomizes, Knowingis not enough; we must apply.Willing is not enough; we mustdo. She is a passionate life-learn-er, never satisfied with the statusquo, exploring new ideas and so-lutions. She is a true collaborator;she accepts group consensus, andsupports projects with heart,soul, time and talents, until theyare complete. Andrea demon-strates that personal integrity isparamount and, because the peo-

    ple of Montgomery come beforepolitics, honesty and truthfulnessis the starting point of any dis-cussion. There are people in our

But, the re-forms that Andrea and her run-ning mate Mark Petraske willbring are critical to our commu-nity.

    We are a welcoming and di-verse community, and our local

    elections should reflect that. Fo-cusing not on political affilia-tions, but on the characters of thepeople who will pilot us into the

    future. We need dynamic leaderswho are open to new ideas and so-lutions, and backed by commit-ment and experience. With thisbalance, I believe Mark and An-drea will put Montgomery backon a strong financial footing.They have the skills we need tolisten to us, to share why certainchoices are being made, and todare to disagree in order to findreal solutions to our pressingproblems.

    Listening to the voice of princi-ple, service and tenacity, I willvote for Bradley/Petraske on Nov.6, and I hope you will join me.

    Bradley and Petraskeare superbly qualifiedIn the upcoming election for

    Montgomery Township Commit-tee, two candidates, AndreaBradley and Mark Petraske, aresuperbly qualified.

    As a School Board member, An-drea has volunteered her enor-mous talents for nine years.Board members review all as-pects of how the schools are run,and Andreas contributions havebeen exceptional. Her efforts tobegin the conversation with thecommunity kicked off the dis-tricts inclusive strategic plan-ning effort. She led the Financeand Budget Committee, ensuringtaxes below 2 percent well beforethe cap law requirement.

    Annually, she scheduled exten-

    sive public sessions on schoolbudgets, another example of herstrong commitment to communi-ty engagement. While on the Op-

    erations and Facilities Commit-tee, the district secured substan-tial state and county funds forvital improvements. We spendthousands less per student thandistricts with comparableachievement levels.

    Recent letter writers support-ing the other candidates have ar-gued their case by attacking An-drea and the schools. Talkingabout SAT scores, HSPA profi-ciencies and class sizes takes usbackwards.

    Our community has spentyears identifying broader meas-ures of educational success, in-cluding engaged teacher teamsthat build powerful lessons and

    students connected to theirschools and invested in their ownlearning.

    District websites and school

    events provide many examples of excellence and many points of pride.

    Montgomery currently has aone-party township committeethat lacks diverse opinions. In ahealthy democracy, in a multi-party town like Montgomery, andin these difficult times, moreideas and more transparency arevitally needed. Andrea and Markwill speak up at the townshipcommittee table and offer real so-lutions to restore Montgomerysfiscal health and integrity. Theyknow our community, they listento the people of Montgomery, andthey are willing to share with thepublic why choices are being

    made.Please join me in voting for An-drea and Mark on Nov. 6.
