The Montgomery Sun
New Jersey Acting Commis-
sioner of Education Christopher
Cerf has a new home in Mont-
gomery Township and may soon
have the word acting removed
from his title.
Cerf, who had been living in
Essex County, recently relocated
to the township to reduce his
commute to Trenton, according
to a statement released by the De-
partment of Education.
The department would not re-
lease specifics on why Cerf specif-
ically chose Montgomery for his
new residence.
Cerf was nominated by Gov.
Christie in January 2011 for the
position, but his confirmation
has been stalled by State Sen.
Ronald Rice, of Newark, whose
district includes other parts of
Essex County, by senatorial cour-
tesy.
According to a longstanding
New Jersey tradition, senators
from a nominees home district
can intercede to prevent consider-
ation of that nomination.
Sen. Christopher Kip Bate-
mans district includes Mont-
gomery and Bateman said in an
email he has signed off on the
nomination and is in the process
of getting the chairman of the
Senates Judiciary Committee to
schedule a vote on the nomina-
tion.
Hes done an outstanding job
as (acting) commissioner, Bate-
man wrote. He needs to continue
the governors education poli-
cies.
Cerf is emphasizing accelerat-
ing student learning, expanding
quality choice offerings and

New Jersey Acting Commissioner
of Education Christopher Cerf
relocates to Montgomery Township
Dufour property settlement reached
By JIM WRIGHT
The Montgomery Sun
The township ended a nearly
six-year legal dispute on Jan. 19,
approving a settlement of $95,000
for property previously belonging
to Joseph Dufour.
Overall, its great for Mont-
gomery to have the issue finally
settled, said Mayor Ed Trzaska.
We avoided an expensive litiga-
tion and ensured that this land
will be preserved. Even though
the tract is relatively small, there
was a possibility that it could
have been developed which, in
turn, may have made it more like-
ly for nearby pieces of land to be
developed as well. We didnt want
to take that chance.
The township, in 2006, sought
to acquire the two lots in the
southern part of the township, on
which Dufour wanted to build
several townhouses, and filed a
verified complaint in superior
court condemning the property
through eminent domain.
This deals with environmen-
tally sensitive land along the
Princeton Ridge that once was
part of or near the proposed
Route 92 right-of-way, which was
never built, Trzaska explained.
The township, in 2007, filed a
first amended verified complaint,
removing one of the lots from the
original complaint, and deposited
$29,000 with the clerk of the supe-
rior court, representing its ap-
praised value of the remaining
property it sought to acquire.
According to Dufour, however,
the lots had been appraised by his
experts at $935,000 and $580,000 re-
spectively premised on develop-
ment applications which would
have required variances.

The state condemnation com-
missioners in 2008 determined
the value of the property to be
$48,140, and the municipality
shortly afterward filed motions
that the development scenarios
for the property were highly un-
likely, given the variances neces-
sary and the necessary acquisi-
tion of additional land for the de-
velopment.
A trial on the matter was
scheduled for Jan. 3, but the set-
tlement was reached before that
date in which the township will
pay Dufour the $29,000 originally
deposited with the clerk of the su-
perior court and, by March 3,
issue a check for $66,000 to the
Stark and Stark Trust Account,
attorneys for DuFour, or accrue
interest charges on the $66,000.
The superior court complaint,
according to the resolution, is dis-
missed with prejudice, meaning
it cannot be re-filed.
Montgomerys open space
shapes our character as a commu-
nity, Trzaska said. Its always a
good day when we get to increase
our portfolio of preserved land.

G
ov. Christie was pretty excited
during his State of the State
Address. Then again, it does-
nt take much to get him excited.
But this time he had reason. The
state indeed has made quite a come-
back. The numbers back up that
claim: job creation, lower taxes, com-
panies moving to the state, etc.
And while the economy remains job
No. 1 for Christie and the state, anoth-
er of his priorities might well prove to
be the most contentious.
Christie proposed six far-reaching
reforms to the states public education
system: end tenure protection for
weak teachers; remove the least effec-
tive teachers instead of the newest if
layoffs are necessary; attract and re-
tain effective teachers where they are
most needed by paying them more;
ending forced placements; give par-
ents and children in failing schools an
alternative through charter schools;
and establish tax credits to provide
scholarships for low-income children
so that they might be able to attend a
better school.
These are, as the governor noted,
pretty much common sense.
Think of your business, for exam-
ple. Are poor employees protected?
Should you keep the best employees or
those who have been there the longest?
Shouldnt the best employees be paid
more? Should your department head
be forced to take an employee he or
she doesnt want?
And, shouldnt kids have the oppor-
tunity to attend the best schools possi-
ble?
The last several years have been dif-
ficult. As the governor noted, there
was some bitter medicine New Jersey
had to swallow to get better. But it is
getting better.
And hes right when he says the fu-
ture of the state depends on the quali-
ty of education it provides. New Jer-
sey has a history of producing, in
many cases, outstanding students.
These changes will reinforce that his-
tory and expand upon it.
Gov.: the rally caps worked
Christies comeback hasnt reached the finish line yet
Time to tackle education
The governors plans for education
reform likely will be opposed in some
quarters. But, if enacted, they will
build upon the states history of pro-
ducing outstanding students.
We can all agree on land
preservation
Thank you for your article about the
Township Committee reorganization meet-
ing.
Our new mayor was correct to single out
the aging sewage-treatment plants as de-
manding attention, and I applaud his de-
sire to televise township committee meet-
ings.
However, I was discouraged by his disre-
gard for the facts when it comes to munici-
pal taxes, televising meetings, the erosion
of township services and Montgomery
Promenade.
Rather than undertake a point-by-point
correction, I would simply ask these things
of the mayor and township committee as
they settle into their responsibilities and
tackle the business of running the town.
Start paying attention to municipal
roads, which are falling apart. By continu-
ing to defer road maintenance, you arent
saving money youre creating a big, ex-
pensive liability.
By all means, televise your meetings
but dont claim to be the first to do so. Your
colleagues killed the initiative that was
started in 2009 and stubbornly resisted ef-
forts to revive it.
Dont call the revised plan for Mont-
gomery Promenade a main street boule-
vard. It is no such thing. Youre right to
look at different uses for the project, but
the revised road layout turns the prome-
nade into a traditional shopping center
with big stores behind big parking lots, and
wont work well for either drivers or pedes-
trians.
As this plan moves forward, please im-
prove it.
When you eliminate services for exam-
ple, municipal court dont claim that you
havent cut services. You have. So look very
carefully at the costs, including police over-
time, and be honest with yourselves and
with the public about whether it was worth
it.
Dont stay tethered to a bad idea
whether its eliminating court or merging
police just to please political powerbro-
kers. Sometimes, you have to just say no.
On the bright side, I was pleased to see
quotes expressing continued support for
land preservation. Thats something we
can all agree on.

New Horizons Montessori,
Montgomery campus, celebrated
an International Day on Jan. 18.
Children created posters describ-
ing famous festivals, historical
places and their different cos-
tumes from their native coun-
tries.
These were created by them-
selves and/or with the help of
parents and teachers.
The posters were displayed in
the class and hallways during the
week of International Day cele-
brations. On the day of the event
many children came dressed in
their native clothing. Many par-
ents participated in the event by
dressing themselves in the tradi-
tional costumes. The parents
brought their special delicacies
for others to try, and talked to the
class children about their coun-
try of origin. They used the
posters to describe the items dis-
played. Using these displays they
wove a beautiful story about each
item mentioned on the posters. It
was a great learning experience
for the children.
Special to The Sun
One of the class moms, Andre-DuFour, speaks to children, about her native country, France, during Inter-
national Day at New Horizons Montessori, Montgomery Campus, with the help of the displayed items on
the poster she and her daughters, Marie and Camille, created for the occasion.

January is cervical health
awareness month and the Somer-
set County Cancer Coalition is
urging all women to become in-
formed about early detection to
decrease their risk for infections
and cervical cancer.
The good news about cervical
cancer is that it can be prevented
with a simple pelvic exam and a
pap test. A pap test is simple,
quick and can detect cervical can-
cer at an early stage to avoid fur-
ther extensive or invasive can-
cers. The test can be performed in
a doctors office, or in a health
clinic, by qualified healthcare
practitioners.
Cervical cancer occurs most
often in women 40 and older. The
number of cervical cancer cases
and deaths has decreased over the
past several decades. Both
African-American women and
Latinas have higher rates of cer-
vical cancer than white women.

Cervical health
awareness month
By KATHRYN MARMION
Special to The Sun
The students at Princeton
Montessori School clapped and
cheered for poor Ella as she
overcame the bullying ways of
her mean-spirited stepmother
and stepsister.
The Pushcart Players, of
Verona, recently performed Hap-
pily Ever After at Princeton
Montessori School. The students
were encouraged by the cast
members to notice where bully-
ing occurred in the play, and they
found plenty of such occur-
rences.
The message students were left
with: good things happen to good
people.
Find someone to tell if you are
being bullied or ridiculed.
Those who bully or who are
mean to others will be taken
down at some point.
Stand up for yourself and
speak out.
These messages were artfully
incorporated into this variation
on a much loved ancient fairytale
which originated in Ancient
China.
In the performance, the mean-
spirited stepmother and stepsis-
ter were blatant in their cruelty
to Ella, demeaning her at every
turn, forcing her to clean up after
them, stealing her clothes from
her body, and hiding her away
when company (the Prince) came
calling.
Of course, she also had to clean
the fireplace, and after getting
ash all over her dress, they decid-
ed to call her Cinder Ella,
laughing gleefully at this new
nickname.
Poor Ella just didnt know how
to overcome this constant assault.
Once the students began to rec-
ognize the story, they were able to
anticipate the announcement of
the Princes ball, the fruitless at-
tempt by the stepmother and step-
sister to transform into palace-
worthy beauties and then the ar-
rival of the beautiful golden
(pumpkin) carriage, which gra-
ciously carried a sparkling Ella

No one was surprised the for-
gotten silver shoe fit only Ella,
and all was right at the end when
the Prince asked for her hand in
marriage.
The performance was an excel-
lent fit for the schools current

Most women diagnosed with cer-
vical cancer have not had recent
pap tests.
The best way to prevent cervi-
cal cancer is to delay first sexual
intercourse if you are young;
have fewer sexual partners; quit
smoking or avoid secondhand
smoke; use a condom if you are
sexually active; avoid long-term
use of contraceptives; have test-
ing (including a pap test) to detect
HPV and pre-cancers; and get the
HPV vaccine if you are younger
than 27.
See www.cdc.gov/vaccines for
complete recommendations,
questions and answers.
For the list of cervical cancer
screening guidelines, visit
www.cancer.org.
Those who are uninsured, un-
derinsured or have other barriers
to medical care, or who want to
find out about eligibility for low-
cost or reduced-cost medical care,
including exams and the HPV
vaccine, can visit www.womenand-
health.org or call the Womens
Health and Counseling Center at
(908) 526-2335.
