HEATHER FIORE/The Sun
Sixth-grade teacher at Montgomery Lower Middle School,
Arlene Milgram, has been working with her students for
five years on an outdoor, tiled mosaic. Shown above is the
first half of the mural that was completed.
By HEATHER FIORE
The Sun
For the last five years, the art
teachers and students at Mont-
gomery Lower Middle School
have been working to finish
their 40-foot-long tiled mosaic,
which covers the entire brick
wall in the front of the school
along the outdoor classroom.
The ongoing student art proj-
ect, similar to the indoor mosaic
at Montgomery High School,
was inspired by a trip the dis-
tricts art teachers took to
Philadelphia about six years ago
to meet Isaiah Zagar, an award-
winning mosaic artist who is
known for his work throughout
South Philadelphia.
The teachers worked with
Zagar on a piece for his new stu-
dio on Watkins Street, said Ar-
lene Milgram, sixth-grade art
teacher at LMS who spearhead-
ed the effort to create the
schools mosaic.
Isaiah Zagar has tiled most
of South Philly, so they sent us
to work with him for two days
right before school started [six
years ago], she said. We
worked from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
each day tiling a building that
was going to be his new studio.

At a special ceremony on Oct.
3, Lt. James Curry was promoted
to deputy director/captain of the
Montgomery Township Police De-
partment, a newly created posi-
tion.
Curry, a 25-year veteran of the
MTPD, will continue to report to
director/captain of police, Robert
Palmer, but will have more of a
leadership role in the depart-
ment, he said.
I am grateful to the Township
Committee, township administra-
tion and Capt. Palmer for the pro-
motion and the larger role I will
play in the leadership of the de-
partment, he said.
Currys new position replaces
one of the townships two lieu-
tenant positions. The remaining
lieutenant position is currently
vacant due to the retirement of
Guy Fillebrown, a close friend
and co-lieutenant of Currys who
left the MTPD on Aug. 1 after 28
years of service, according to
Tammy Garaffa, township infor-
mation officer.
It is anticipated that the lieu-
tenant position will be filled by
promotion of a sergeant, she
said. The selection process for
both a new lieutenant then a new
sergeant will take place over the
next few months.
With Currys promotion, he
will be a key factor in the selec-
tion process.
I am looking forward to tak-
ing part in the promotional
process and selection of the next
lieutenant and sergeant, he said.
The Montgomery Township
Committee enacted Currys pro-
motion as another step in the
overall evolution of the police de-
partment. The first step was the
hiring of three cadets earlier this
year, whose police academy train-
ing will be completed by the end
of this year.

Because three senior police of-
ficers have already retired, and
another three or four will retire
over the next year or two, we
must proactively maintain a clear
succession plan in the police de-
partment, Mayor Ed Trzaska
said. We will keep our force well-
trained and prepared to ensure
that our community remains
fully protected throughout this
time of transition as always.
There is no more important serv-
ice that our local government pro-
vides than protecting the public
health and safety. With our hiring
and succession planning initia-
tives in place, we are on the right
track.
Curry began his career in law
enforcement in June 1988 with
MTPD. He has a bachelor's degree
in criminal justice and a master's
degree in homeland security, and
is a FBI National Academy gradu-
ate.
He was promoted to lieutenant
in July 2008. He continues to com-
mand all bureaus of the depart-
ment, including patrol, detective,
traffic/community policing, ad-
ministration and records, and has
assumed further responsibilities
in his new position, such as
greater coordination with other
law enforcement agencies.
I am excited about my new
role and eagerly anticipate the
challenge of a larger leadership
role in the department, Curry
said.

OBITUARIES

Move community forward
with Ed Trzaska, Pat Graham
Montgomery voters have a real choice to
make on Election Day. Do we keep moving
our community forward, making fiscal re-
sponsibility in challenging economic times
a priority or do we risk returning to an era
of ballooning local taxes and ever-expand-
ing budgets? Republicans Ed Trzaska and
Pat Graham have achieved something no
other town in New Jersey can boast they
held municipal spending below what was
spent in 2005.
When I became mayor in 2009, Mont-
gomery faced real challenges. The Democ-
rats who preceded me left our finances in
shambles. They increased our town budget
by more than 30 percent and paid for it by
draining our once healthy surplus, boost-
ing our municipal debt to more than $60
million (the largest debt load in Somerset
County), and raising municipal property
taxes by more than 10 percent every year.
With the economy faltering and home val-
ues deteriorating, we were faced with a
stark choice raise taxes or cut spending.
Higher taxes simply werent an option so
we cut spending, streamlined services, and
moved forward with a shared municipal
court with our neighbors in Hillsborough.
Ed and Pat have supported and contin-
ued those policies. They held the line on
spending to keep increases to the munici-
pal portion of the property tax to roughly 1
percent on average over the last three
years. They didnt just meet the challenge
issued by Gov. Christie to limit increases to
2 percent; they exceeded it. And they did it
without compromising public safety or es-
sential local services.
They found creative ways to do more
with less by sharing services and consoli-
dating responsibilities. They protected our
quality of life by adding nearly 350 acres to
our open space inventory and increased
local government transparency by becom-
ing one of the first communities to stream
township committee meetings live over the
internet and by holding eight different
town-hall-style forums with various com-
munity groups and homeowner associa-
tions. Its no wonder Montgomery was rec-
ognized by Christies administration as
one of just 35 towns to earn a perfect score
from the Best Practices for Local Govern-
ment program.
Montgomery still faces challenges, but
thanks to responsible leadership on our
Township Committee, we continue moving

hosts, goblins, ghouls and a lot
of superheros and princesses
will be parading up and down
streets in town in one short week. Hal-
loween is an exciting time for kids,
parents and neighbors alike.
Its a time for fun, a time for laugh-
ter, a time for adorable pictures, a time
for candy, a time for celebration and a
time when we all need to pay attention
to safety.
First and foremost, motorists need
to be extra cautious when driving
through the streets that day, not just in
your own neighborhood, but sur-
rounding ones, as well. Make sure to
be aware of trick-or-treating hours,
and be especially careful when dark-
ness settles in. Be especially alert in
residential neighborhoods, as kids
tend to run excitedly from house to
house.
Parents should be on high alert that
day as well, reminding their kids to
look both ways before crossing the
street and cross only at intersections
and cross-walks, when possible.
If kids are trick-or-treating without
adult supervision, make sure they
know the route so they dont get lost
and confused. Other safety tips, cour-
tesy of the website, www.safekids.org:
Decorate costumes and bags with
reflective tape or stickers and, if possi-
ble, choose light colors.
Choose face paint and makeup
whenever possible instead of masks,
which can obstruct a childs vision.
Have kids carry glow sticks or
flashlights to help them see and be
seen by drivers.
When selecting a costume, make
sure it is the right size to prevent trips
and falls.
If you need more tips or tricks of
the trade for trick-or-treating, visit
www.safekids.org. The local police de-
partment will also have safety recom-
mendations, and the municipality will
also have more information about spe-
cific rules and regulations for the day.
Be safe this Halloween. And most
importantly, have a scary good time!
Safety first this Halloween
Parents, kids, homeowners and motorists should follow these tips

While youre out trick-or-treating this
Halloween, or attending a local
Halloween parade, dont forget about

you enjoying the holiday. Send them to

Zagar worked on top scaffolding,
and we worked as high as we
could get on step stools; we did
the front of the building and an
alleyway. We learned his process
of how he breaks the tiles, the
serendipity of it, the lining of it
with the mirrors.
After the teachers attended the
workshop, they had to bring their
newfound skills back to each of
their buildings, and work with
their students to create some-
thing in Zagars style, Milgram
said.
MHS students completed their
mosaic a couple of years ago,
with Montgomery LMS begin-
ning shortly after.
The mosaic at LMS is titled,
Learning Blossoms at LMS. It
incorporates flowers, ceramic
butterflies, bugs and birds, inter-
twined with a couple of quotes.
Its themed for the outdoor
classroom and reflects whats
around it the trees and stuff
around the building, Milgram
said. It sparkles when its sunny.
Its really pretty.
Milgram said the project has
taken so long to complete mainly
because its outdoors and depend-
ent on the weather, but also be-
cause she wanted the students to
complete it on their own.
Our school-wide goal is con-
nection, so one of the ways you
feel connected is if youre part of
something permanent, she said.
The kids were told before they
put any tiles in, once they put the
tiles in, theyre a permanent part
of the school because it symbol-
izes their connection to the
school.
Milgram and fifth-grade art
teacher Susan Campbell assisted
with some of the painting and
grouting, along with some MHS
students and community volun-
teers, but she said the students at
LMS did the majority of the
work.
She also said they gained a lot
from the experience.
They learn about the ele-
ments of art in my class, so the
things they do [for the mosaic]
are related to each element of art,
like wheres the line, wheres the
shape, wheres the color, she
said. They also see what its like
to work together, and how each
little piece makes part of the big
picture, literally and metaphori-
cally.
With about 90 percent of LMS
mosaic completed now, Milgram
said if the weather holds out, the
project should be coming to an
end this spring before the school
year ends.
She also said the students are
starting to better understand the
entire concept behind the mosaic,
now that so much of it is done.
Now, with the mirrors in and
all, the viewer is incorporated
into it; as you look at it, youre
part of it visually, she said. And
the kids are noticing that the
space also changes in the mirrors
from the space of the wall.
Theyre artistically reflecting on
it. Theres a lot that theyve
learned.
Principal at LMS, Mike
Richards, said hes excited to see
the finished product, and feels the
students have really done a great
job.
Its hip and its different, he
said. I think it's as good as the
Grounds for Sculpture.

Friends of Mary Jacobs Memo-
rial Library will be hosting the
8th Annual Food and Wine
Fundraising Event on Saturday,
Nov. 2 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at
Mary Jacobs Memorial Library,
located at 64 Washington Street in
Rocky Hill. Co-chairs of the event,
Connie Hallman of Rocky Hill
and Ingrid Yurchenco of Skill-
man, announced that the special
dishes being featured at the event
will be prepared by The Catering
Company of Blawenburg.
Imagine this: biting into a
sweet sponge pudding with a
caramelized texture made with
apricot jam. And then sipping on
the perfect wine to compliment it
rich and sweet qualities of the
dish, Hallman said. It's Malva
pudding, just one of the numer-
ous dishes from The Catering
Company, our wonderful and
local event caterer, to be present-
ed at the much anticipated
fundraising event this year. The
cuisine is an exotic blend of all
the cultures that have left their
mark on the country such as Por-
tugal, the Netherlands, Germany,
France, Malaysia, Indonesia and
India. We know it will be deli-
cious and memorable.
The richly inspired South
African cuisine will be thought-
fully paired with South African
wines.
Our 8th annual food and wine
fundraising event promises to be
unique, with guests exploring a
variety of South African foods
paired with complementary
wines, Hallman said. South
Africa is the third largest wine
producing region in the world
and we will be featuring wines
from the private vineyard of Greg
Olsen as well as an exciting
choice of wines from Glendale
Wine & Liquors of Kendall Park.
Robinsons Chocolates of Skill-
man has also donated some sweet
treats for each of our guests to re-
ceive. Thanks to the community
support from volunteers to local
businesses to event attendees it
really is a well-rounded, elegant
evening for all who attend.
The event will also include live
music from Nicholas Filomena
and a silent action.
Admission is $75. Sponsorship
and auction item donation oppor-
tunities are available. To RSVP or
for more information, contact

brary Foundation at (609) 924-7073

in the right direction. Ed Trzaska
and Pat Graham have been lead-
ing that effort. If holding the line
on taxes is what you care about
most, join me in voting for the
team whose record proves their
commitment Ed Trzaska and
Pat Graham for Montgomery
Township Committee.
Mark Caliguire
Somerset County Freeholder
Former Montgomery
Township Mayor
Willson, Roberts will
bring balance, integrity
Montgomerys local govern-
ment is in trouble. The Township
Committee, all Republican for
three years now, has demonstrat-
ed poor judgment in making im-
portant decisions.
The people who made them, Ed
Trzaska and Pat Graham, are
running for re-election. Im not
saying they are bad people, but
they toe the party line and defer
to party bosses who are mostly
unencumbered by a moral com-
pass.
When one party either party
controls every aspect and level
of government, as Republicans
now do in Montgomery, waste,
sloppiness and poor service fol-
low.
Its time to restore bipartisan
government in Montgomery. Our
township faces big challenges a
stagnant tax base, senior staff
nearing retirement, a chronic
structural deficit. The next few
years are going to be tough and
require wisdom. The communi-
tys interests will be much better
served with representatives of
both parties at the table.
Ernie Willson and Sarah
Roberts are running for Town-
ship Committee on the Democrat-
ic ticket. They are terrific people
with deep knowledge of Mont-
gomery, who have contributed
many years of outstanding volun-
teer service in community plan-
ning, economic development, en-
vironmentalism and traffic relief.
Through their many avenues of
public service, they have each
earned a reputation for independ-
ent thinking and for asking
thoughtful, insightful questions.
Ernie and Sarah will bring bal-
ance, good ideas, integrity, trans-
parency and fiscal responsibility
to the Township Committee.
Please give them your vote on
Nov. 5.
Louise Wilson
Trzaska, Graham have
many accomplishments
On Nov. 5, we're voting to re-
elect Mayor Ed Trzaska and
Deputy Mayor Pat Graham. They
have accomplished a great deal
during the past three years and
we look forward to seeing what
they do with a second term in of-
fice.
We appreciate their responsi-
ble fiscal principles and their
ability to do more with less. This
years municipal budget spends
below 2005 levels. They have also
kept the past three budgets well
under Gov. Christies property tax
cap law, reduced township debt by
more than $10 million, and held
sewer fees flat for the first time in
five years.
Ed and Pat are finding ways to
significantly invest in our infra-
structure and public safety serv-
ices.
They put together a 10-year
capital improvement plan for mu-
nicipal roads and have already ap-
proved many projects Meadow
Run neighborhood, East Moun-
tain Road, Fairview Road, Hollow
Road, and engineering work for
Orchard Road. In addition, we are
very pleased about the Cherry
Valley Road reconstruction proj-
ect. This work is going to address
the section from Cherry Hill Road
to Route 601, which is very nar-
row and dangerous. This is the
type of investment Montgomery
needs and we're happy that Ed
and Pat are getting the job done.
Ed and Pat are proactively in-
vesting in our police department.
With the likelihood of four to six
senior police officers retiring
over the next few years, they put
together a cadet hiring program
and succession planning initia-
tive to ensure our community
stays safe as the department
evolves. Three new cadets were
hired this spring and the future
leaders of our force are being
identified and trained according-
ly.
Some of Ed and Pats other ac-
complishments include preserv-
ing 350-acres of new open space,
including Skillman Park, and
making our local government
more open and transparent than
ever by streaming meetings on-
line and establishing the Meet
the Mayor series of town hall
events to better connect with resi-
dents.
We could go on, but let us close
with the following Ed and Pat

community and they have a
tremendous record of success.
Lets keep Montgomery moving
forward and reelect these two fine
residents.
Maryann and Charles Post
Vote Ed Trzaska,
Pat Graham on Nov. 5
Next months election gives us
a reason to stop and think for
minute about something most of
us take for granted our towns
government and the people who
give their time to help Mont-
gomery by serving on the Town-
ship Committee.
Mayor Ed Trzaska and Deputy
Mayor Pat Graham are running
for re-election and they deserve
our support. While other towns
around us spend property tax
money like theres no tomorrow,
Ed and Pat have cut spending and
held the municipal portion of the
tax bill in check Montgomery is
spending less today, than it did in
2005. No other town can say that.
While being good stewards of our
tax dollars is important, theres
more to their record that merits
your support.
Open, honest and excited to en-
gage residents in the business of
township government, Ed and Pat
spearheaded the effort that culmi-
nated with the live online stream-
ing of all township meetings. Live
meetings are also archived and
available for viewing online any
time. Previous mayors said no to
making meetings available to res-
idents at home. Ed and Pat made
transparency a priority and got it
done.
But, they didnt stop there. To
engage residents and bring gov-
ernment to them, Ed kicked off
the first ever Meet the Mayor
series of town-hall-style meetings
hosted by many neighborhoods,
homeowner associations and
community organizations
throughout the township. In 2013,
he held eight meetings during
which he updated residents on
government business and took
Q&A for as long as it took to an-
swer every question. Want Ed to
visit your group? Just email him
at town hall.
Theyre also working with the
county, our neighboring towns
and the Board of Education to
find ways to complement mis-
sions, coordinate actions and
plan for the future. While town-
ship government doesnt have a
role in operating our schools, Ed
and Pat do see the wisdom of
greater collaboration the future
of our community and our home
values are tied to the future of
our schools. They worked with
their colleagues to get approval to
assign, for the first time in town-
ship history, a single member of
the Township Committee to serve
as a formal liaison to the BOE in
order to facilitate better planning
and collaboration.
Finally, Ed and Pat understand
that protecting Montgomerys
rural character is essential to pro-
tecting our quality of life. While
holding spending to sub-2005 lev-
els, they made conservation a pri-
ority adding more than 350 acres
to our open space inventory. And,
have you driven past Skillman
Park lately? It is becoming to
Montgomery what Central Park
is to Manhattan. Preventing that
land from being developed or
used for low-income housing
without a doubt stands as the best
reason why Ed and Pat deserve
our support.
A record of holding spending
and taxes down, the most open
and transparent local govern-
ment ever, preserving additional
open space and Skillman Park
what else needs to be said? On
Nov. 5, I hope youll join me in
keeping Montgomery moving in
the right direction by voting to re-
elect Ed Trzaska and Patricia
Graham to the Township Com-
mittee. Theyve earned our trust;
they deserve our votes.
