At The Jewish Centers world record-breaking event, Chanukah for
the Record, about 1,000 people attended, bringing menorahs of all
kinds.
World record broken
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Montgomery Sun
On Tuesday, Dec. 11, the fourth
night of Chanukah, The Jewish
Center in Princeton successfully
rallied around 1,000 people in one
of Princeton Airports hangars to
light 834 menorahs and break the
Guinness World Record for the
most menorahs lit at one time in
one place.
Residents from all over Mercer
County and Montgomery Town-
ship came together to break the
record, which was previously
held by Merrick Jewish Centre in
Long Island at 782 menorahs, ac-
cording to organizer of the event
and Director of Programming at
The Jewish Center Neil Wise.
Wise also explained how the
record hadnt been set by any
United States-based congregation
or organization prior to the Mer-
rick Jewish Centre, and original-
ly was set in Russia.
The idea was sparked by
thinking about what we could do
for Chanukah that no one else has
done and something that will en-
gage people enough to light to-
gether for Chanukah as a commu-
nity, he said. At The Jewish
Center, we are always thinking
out of the box in terms of our hol-
iday programming. We dont re-
peat programs; we reinvent pro-
grams.
Wise explained how intricate
the Guinness World Records
guidelines are and what he had to
do to prepare for the event, espe-
cially since The Jewish Center
didnt hire a Guinness World
Record official to oversee the

The Montgomery Sun
At Montgomery Townships
committee meeting on Dec. 6, the
committee adopted a continuing
occupancy ordinance, which re-
quires re-inspection for rental
properties whenever theyre re-
rented by another occupant, ac-
cording to Township Administra-
tor Donato Nieman.
The whole purpose was to in-
spect rental properties when they
were re-rented, and this was an
outgrowth of some incidences
that occurred in 2012 when we
had three or four apartment fires
in the Princeton Hill Apartment
complex, he said. We found the
same issues within the apart-
ments smoke detector and car-
bon monoxide detector issues
things, had there been inspec-
tions, may have provided an addi-
tional margin of safety and pre-
vented some of the events from
occurring.
The idea had been around for
awhile, and I think the fires were
the impetus necessary to get the
legislation enacted, he added.
The ordinance, which was
passed upon the request and ap-
proval of the Montgomery Town-
ship Board of Health and Fire
Prevention Bureau, allows the
township to inspect rental proper-
ties to ensure fire detection de-
vices are functioning, which was
the main issue driving this ordi-
nance.
When Fire Marshals went
into the buildings [Princeton Hill
Apartments], they determined
there were problems with smoke
detectors and in some instances,
ventilation fans in bathrooms
that accumulated enough dirt
and grime that they couldve been
the source of fires, Nieman said.

New tenants will come with new
inspection for rental properties

A
s the holiday season begins to
wind to a close, we want to
take this opportunity to thank
everyone who stepped up to help those
in need. This time of year usually
brings out the best in people. Judging
from the number of announcements
we received from our readers regard-
ing donation drives, it looks like this
year was no exception.
This year, Hurricane Sandy created
a great need in many communities.
Food banks were running low after
sending supplies to those communities
hit hard by the storm. The same with
those who help with clothing, and even
toys.
In many instances, that meant that
nonprofits and those who work every
day to help folks who are struggling
had an even more difficult task. Dona-
tions, supplies and funds that, in other
years, went to fill traditional annual
needs instead went to the storm vic-
tims. Theres no doubt that even more
generosity was needed this year than
in most just to get by.
Over the past few weeks, we have
had the pleasure of publishing stories
about efforts to lend a hand. Indeed,
many of these efforts were to help
those impacted by the storm. But, like
always, there were the usual Toys for
Tot drives and more. We dont keep a
formal count of the number of holiday
fundraising event stories we publish
from year to year, but it certainly
seemed that, in 2012, there were many
more than in years past.
So, we thank those individuals and
groups who organized these efforts.
And, on behalf of them, we also thank
everyone who picked up an extra can
of non-perishable food, an additional
bag of dog food, one more toy and
more. To all of those who reached a lit-
tle deeper into their wallets this year to
help out, your generosity truly made a
difference.
We wish everyone a happy holiday
season and hope for a hurricane-free
2013.
in our opinion
Happy holidays!
A thank you to everyone who helped to brighten the season for those in need
Stepping up
Hurricane Sandy created an even
greater need for toys, food, clothing
and more this holiday season. Judging
from the number of donation efforts
we saw, local communities really came
through for those in need.

Writer: Alimony Reform
needs restrictions
I am listening to the current debates on
Entitlement Reform and need to discuss
another form of Entitlement Reform Al-
imony Reform.
Permanent Alimony is a form of entitle-
ment. Its abuse is more rampant than wel-
fare and restrictions must be placed on it.
Currently, judges have full discretion to
dole out permanent alimony.
Those fighting alimony reform like to
paint a picture of woman gives up career,
married 20 years as the rare instance
where permanent alimony is awarded and
this is a gender issue. Not true.
There's no rhyme or reason or restraint
for judges pulling this emergency chord
and its high time they have one. There
need to be guidelines. New Jersey is one of
the few states that have this judicially ad-
ministered entitlement program, and it
must be reformed now. Permanent alimo-
ny is based on puritanical, punitive values
totally out of touch with modern societal
norms.
Theres a bill in judicial committee in
our state Senate for a blue ribbon panel to
look at this inequity in the law. It needs to
be debated and passed now.

The Montgomery Township Department
of Public Works will be starting curbside
Christmas tree collection on Monday, Jan.
7.
This collection will take several days to
complete the entire township. All residents
are advised, however, not to wait to put
tree(s) out. Which areas of town will be col-
lected first has not been determined. If a
particular section of town happens to be
collected on or soon after Jan. 7, trees
placed to the curb after will miss the pick-
up.
As an alternative, an area at the Depart-
ment of Public Works site, located at 12
Harlingen Road, will be set up to receive
discarded Christmas trees if you prefer to
drop them off. This site is available for
drop off at any hour or day, starting Dec. 27
and ending Jan. 31. All trees either to be
picked up or dropped off must be free of
tinsel and ornaments.
Regular tree limbs/brush may be
brought to the Public Works yard without
charge, but only during the regular Satur-
day drop-off dates from 8 a.m. to noon.
There is a container facility day on Jan. 12.
If you have any questions, contact the
Department of Public Works at (908) 874-
3144.
Curbside Christmas tree collection will begin on Jan. 7

forti noted how this procedure is
becoming more prevalent
throughout the state, which is an-
other benefit to adopting the ordi-
nance.
The number of municipalities
that have put an ordinance like
this in place has increased dra-
matically over the last couple of
years, he said. Its the only op-
portunity to go in and make sure
smoke alarms are in place and
the public is protected.
Nieman explained how the
township consulted with Prince-
ton Hill Apartments landlords,
who were all on board with the or-
dinance as well, since it would
benefit them in regard to secur-
ing security deposits, given
theres a third party involved to
document things such as inspec-
tions.
Although the ordinance allows
the township to enter the apart-
ments after the properties have
been re-rented, Nieman explained
what would happen if township
officials were to find something
wrong.
If, in the course of that inspec-
tion, there is something that is
seen that would require interven-
tion on behalf of the fire districts
or Code Enforcement Depart-
ment, they could refer them, he
said. It wouldnt be a violation,
just something like, Take a look,
it might need a repair.
Nieman also noted that the ob-
jective of the ordinance isnt to
punish residents, but to keep
them safe.
Were protecting a segment of
our population which is least able
to protect itself those are the
people that are working 12-hour
days, many of them ride their bi-
cycles to work, and they dont
often times challenge their land-
lords, he said. And if this pro-
tects public safety and health, I
think its a good idea.
The Fire Prevention Depart-
ment that does the inspections
will be charging a fee for the serv-
ice, but would cover the costs of
the inspection.
Theres a fee for the service,
but youre getting a level of pub-
lic safety and it was something
that we felt would maintain prop-
erty values in those complexes
and ensure public safety, making
sure places are maintained with
all proper safety devices function-
ing, Nieman said.
This will protect some of our
most vulnerable residents and its
a known, effective tool in multiple
municipalities for early detection
of code violations so they can be
promptly corrected before it im-
pacts the resident, Montgomery
Township Health Officer
Stephanie Carey said. Its an im-
portant piece of local legisla-
tion.

On Dec. 2, a Marten Road resi-
dent reported the theft of $50
from her vehicle, which was
parked unlocked in front of her
residence. The victim reported
that her 1992 Toyota was entered
sometime during the overnight
hours between Nov. 30 and Dec. 1,
and $50 in cash was taken from a
wallet located in the center con-
sole of the vehicle.
On Dec. 3, a Hollow Road resi-
dent reported the theft of gas
from the property's fuel supply
tank. The victim, who operates a
farm, reported that one of his
farm hands witnessed a small, sil-
ver SUV pull up to the fuel supply.
The employee then witnessed the
driver of the SUV use the pump
to fuel his vehicle. The farm
owner estimated the amount of
gas stolen at $30.
On Dec. 4 at 7:55 p.m., police re-
sponded to a residence on Canter-
bury Lane for a theft report. The
resident reported mail was taken
from his mailbox.
On Dec. 9 at 10:10 a.m., police
responded to a motor vehicle
crash in the intersection of Great
Road and Country Club Drive. A
20-year-old female from Fleming-
ton driving a 2012 Honda ODY
turned off Country Club Drive
into the path of a vehicle, a 1998
Audi 4AQ, driven by a 42-year-old
female travelling south on Great
Road. The 42-year-old woman in-
jured her right arm but refused
medical treatment. The 20-year-
old female received a summons
for Failing to Stop and Yield at a

moved from the scene.
On Dec. 12, a 23-year-old male
was arrested for possession of
marijuana and possession of
drug paraphernalia. He was
stopped by Sergeant James Gill
for failing to maintain his lane.
Sgt. Gill detected the odor of
burnt and raw marijuana ema-
nating from the vehicle while
speaking with the driver, and in a
continued investigation, it was
determined that he was in posses-
sion of marijuana less than 50
grams and drug paraphernalia.
He was placed under arrest and
processed at the police headquar-
ters. He was issued a criminal
complaint summons for posses-
sion of marijuana under 50
grams and a motor vehicle sum-
mons for failure to maintain a
single lane as well as CDS in a
motor vehicle. Johnson was re-
leased pending a court appear-
ance in the Montgomery Town-
ship Municipal Court.

Gibraltar Rock donates
to township food pantry
Gibraltar Rock of Belle Mead,
a Silvi Group Company, contin-
ued its tradition of giving to the
Montgomery Township Food
Pantry by presenting a check for
$500 to Food Pantry Manager
Denise Crowley on Thursday,
Dec. 6.
In these extraordinarily diffi-
cult times, the food pantry is an
important resource for a number
of Montgomery families, Mayor
Ed Trzaska said. We thank
Gibraltar Rock for stepping
up.
We sincerely appreciate Food
Pantrys service to needy fami-
lies, noted Uday Patankar,
Gibraltar Rock Vice President,
during a visit to the Pantry. As a
member of the Belle Mead com-
munity, we want to add to their
funds in time for the holiday sea-
son.
Montgomery Township Com-
munity Resource Manager
Denise Crowley appreciates the
timely donation.
It will help us re-stock the
Pantry with needed items at this
critical time, she said.

Route 601.

event.
We didnt have an official
judge because it wouldve cost
thousands of dollars; we went
about this the nonprofit route,
he said. So, you have to provide
the evidence yourself.
Wise detailed all of the require-
ments necessary to successfully
complete and set the record,
which included video registra-
tion of each participant, signed
testimonials from each partici-
pant after the menorahs were lit,
12 judges, more than 30 floor mon-
itors, 90 table captains, and docu-
menting photographs.
Obviously with the challenges
of Guinness and following all of
their guidelines, theres also the
challenges of working with fire
department, he said.
Because Princeton Airport is
technically located in Mont-
gomery Township, Wise had the
Montgomery Township Fire De-
partment attend, which was an-
other requirement, along with
Montgomery EMS.
Once everyone settled in with
their uniquely decorated meno-
rahs in the hangar, Rabbi Adam
Feldman from The Jewish Center
led the crowd in singing prayers
in Hebrew as they lit the meno-
rah using the shamash, the center
candle used to light the others.
The Schneiders, a Montgomery
family that attended the event,
noted how it was nice to have an
event focused on Chanukah for a
change.
There arent that many fun
Chanukah events like this as
there are for Christmas, so I
thought it would be fun for them
[children] to be a part of, mother
Monica said.
Her son Jacob also added why
he was so excited to be there.
I get to be a part of setting the
world record, he said.
After the prayers were sung,
Feldman directed everyone to use
their shamash to light all five can-
dles, which immediately lit up the
entire hangar and ignited a sense
of community.
The judges, who were in charge
of walking around their designat-
ed section of tables to make sure
every menorah was being lit, con-
sisted of a variety of people from
Mercer County.
I wanted to hit different sec-
tors business leaders, people in
entertainment, Jewish leaders,
rabbis, clergy, township officials,
Wise said. I wanted to really rep-
resent the general community,
not just one section.
One of the judges representing
Montgomery, Mayor Ed Trzaska,
congratulated The Jewish Center
on their accomplishment and
stated how he truly enjoyed being
one of the judges.
I had to oversee several tables
and make sure the lighting
process went smoothly, and it re-
ally helped to be 6'8" so I could see
everything and verify as a wit-
ness the accuracy of the world
record, he said. This was a
tremendous community event
and a memorable experience. We
will be inviting the leaders and
organizers to an upcoming Town-
ship Committee meeting to recog-
nize and honor this accomplish-
ment.
Trzaska was also thankful for
the Princeton Airport for making
the event, which was coined
Chanukah for the Record, pos-
sible since no other venues in or
around the area were willing to
host the event, which was one of
the biggest challenges.
The locations are really chal-
lenging, Wise said. The pro-
gram was too large for our facili-
ty; no hotel wanted to host us be-
cause of the amount of candles;
Market Fair and the Quaker-
bridge Mall loved the idea, but
when you got to the candles, they
[declined] and Princeton Univer-
sity said no as well. We were able
to connect with the airport and
the owner was extremely excited,
and within a minute of talking,
he said, Lets do it.
Although Wise announced that
we did it at the event when he
stated 834 menorahs were present
in the hangar, he described how
he has to submit all of the infor-
mation to Guinness World
Records office in New York City
the day after, Dec. 12, to officially
find out.
Three days after the event, we
will officially know, he said.

The Montgomery Rocky Hill
Rotary Club is a very generous
supporter of the Montgomery
Township Food Pantry and the
Montgomery Township Senior
Center. In the past two years, the
Rotary Club has donated over
$8,000, plus grocery items and
gifts. The Rotary Club provides fi-
nancial support and gift cards
throughout the year and many
Rotarians volunteer and donate
personally to the Pantry and at
the Senior Center.
Mayor Ed Trzaska attended the
Rotary breakfast meeting on Dec.
6 and expressed the Townships
deep appreciation.
Rotary Club is always there,
stepping up to support our towns
in tremendous ways, he said.
You are such an important com-
munity partner.
Rotary Club President Bob Mil-
hiser stated, "Rotarians are
pleased to support the resources
the Food Pantry and Senior Cen-
ter offer Montgomery Township
residents. We are proud to spon-
sor holiday wish lists and provide
ShopRite Gift cards for Mont-
gomery Families in Need. This
has been a project near and dear
to our hearts since 1997."
Each year, the Rotary Club do-
nates ShopRite Gift Cards for the
holiday programs and whenever
needed throughout the year. Ro-
tarians donate food and volunteer
their time to help with Food
Pantry Programs and to make
sure the pantry shelves are al-
ways filled.
The Rotary Club also sponsors
many health, wellness, and fun
programs at the Montgomery
Senior Center. The Rotary Club
donated patio furniture for the
seniors to enjoy the outside space
at the center.

Montgomery Community Resource Manager Denise Crowley accepts

Van Harlingen Historical So-
ciety of Montgomery (VHHS) is
pleased to make several impor-
tant announcements.
The Society has been granted
$8,000 in matching funds by the
1772 Foundation Grant Program,
administered by the New Jersey
Historic Trust. The funds will be
used to replace the cedar shake
roof at the historic Dirck Gulick
House on Route 601 in the Belle
Mead section of Montgomery
Township. The roof will be in
keeping with that of an 18th cen-
tury Dutch farmhouse, which in-
deed was the original use of the
stone structure listed on the Na-
tional Register of Historic
Places.
The Gulick House was built in
1752 and serves now as the soci-
ety's headquarters, library,
archives and research facility.
The library is open from 10 a.m.
until noon on the last Saturday
of each month (except in Decem-
ber, January and February), by
appointment and for special oc-
casions. For more information
and to verify the library is not
closed due to unforeseen circum-
stances, contact info@vanharlin-
gen.org.
Also, VHHS hosts preserva-
tion consultant Kathleen Galop,
who will discuss Jacqueline
Kennedy's Historic Preservation
Legacy on Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 7
p.m. at Mary Jacobs Library,
which is located at 64 Washing-
ton Street in Rocky Hill. Pre-reg-
istration is required by calling
(609) 924-7073 or by visiting
somerset.lib.nj.us/maryjacobs.h
tm.
The Historic Preservation Act
was enacted in 1966, and great
strides in historic preservation
have occurred since then. How-
ever, little has been written or
told about the instrumental role
played by Jacqueline Kennedy in
creating the climate for the pas-
sage of that important legisla-
tion. This program presents an
interesting look behind the
scenes of how "Jackie" stopped
the bulldozers and set the course
for historic preservation. The
presentation is funded by the
Horizons Speaker Bureau of the
NJ Council for the Humanities, a
state partner of the National En-
dowment for the Humanities.
Lastly, the society is selling
keepsake 2013 calendars with ex-
cellent vintage images of the vil-
lage of Blawenburg, including
the historic church, general
store, and people and scenes
from the turn of the 20th centu-
ry. For information about where
to buy a calendar locally (for $25)
or to have one shipped, contact
info@vanharlingen.org.
