Groups team up to preserve stream corridor
By HEATHER FIORE
The Sun
Montgomery Friends of Open
Space, in conjunction with a local
property owner and the state De-
partment of Environmental Pro-
tections Green Acres program,
recently preserved a 2.5-acre
stream corridor along the Rock
Brook at the intersection of
Servis Road and Hollow Road in
Skillman.
The joint preservation, which
adds to the preserved land MFOS
has secured in the Sourland
Mountain region, has been in the
works for the last three years, ac-
cording to Mary Penney, presi-
dent of MFOS.
MFOS has been concentrating
on preserving land here because
its a remote area characterized
by a rugged landscape along a
rocky corridor, and is a protective
buffer to the Rock Brook for
recharging the water supply and
filtering pollutants from storm
water runoff, she said. Its got a
lot of small lots on it; our guess is
that there were a lot of landown-
ers that never built on it or let it
drift away. Its an interesting land-
scape. Strategically, it was a good
piece of land its not far from al-
ready preserved land and it helps
protect the natural setting of the
Rock Brook.
Since the stream corridor is
connected to property owned by
Special to The Sun
The 2.5-acre stream corridor along Rock Brook is a unique tract of land in the Sourland Mountain region, located near the intersection of
Servis Road and Hollow Road in Skillman. please see MFOS, page 5

Managing Partner Chris Sugden
was recently selected by a panel
of judges at the New Jersey Tech-
nology Council to receive the
John H. Martinson Technology
Supporter Award.
The award recognizes individ-
uals who have made a positive,
meaningful and significant im-
pact on New Jerseys technology
industry, and is only awarded to
individuals once in their lifetime.
Hopefully, I am too young to be
receiving a career achievement
award; howev-
er, I believe
the primary
reasons I re-
ceived the
award is for
both my dedi-
cation to New
Jerseys tech-
nology indus-
try over a long
period of time
and my con-
tinued commitment to seeing that
our states technology communi-
ty continues to thrive, Sugden
said. Our economy is driven by
information technology, and the
work we do at Edison provides
New Jerseys entrepreneurs ad-
vice, capital and a huge network
so that they can make their
dream a reality.
Suffice to say, it is truly an
honor and privilege to be recog-
nized by the NJTC. The NJTC
was founded 17 years ago and is
one of the countrys largest tech-
nology industry associations,
Sugden said.
Sugden, who leads Edison Ven-
tures largest industry segment
(financial technology and servic-
es), joined the company almost 12
years ago as vice president.

Robert Sadigur
Marc Brahaney, local landowner
and architect, MFOS worked with
him to forge an agreement to pre-
serve the land as permanent open
space.
He was going to build a house
on it, but its a steep slope and
rocky piece of property, so in the
end, I think he decided it wasnt
the best move to build a home and
better to preserve it, Penney
said.
Penney said MFOS works on
conservation easements with a
lot of local, small landowners
who ultimately want to preserve
their land, something Penney is
particularly proud of.
Its part of what MFOS does,
she said. Its what makes us dif-
ferent. We work with landowners
so they can write it off as tax de-
duction. Our hope is to work with
as many local landowners as we
can to fill in the missing gaps so
we can create a better trail sys-
tem.
In the near future, MFOS hopes
to preserve neighboring proper-
ties to Rock Brook to offer more
opportunities for residents to
enjoy the scenic setting Mont-
gomery provides, Penney said.
Our hope is this whole corri-
dor will have a large network of
trails to enjoy and see the beauty
of the Sourlands, she said. It
would be nice to be able to give
more opportunities for people to
walk in the Sourlands thats our
vision long-term.
MFOS was created in 2002 in
response to commercial develop-
ment in the township. Since its in-
ception, MFOS has worked, indi-
vidually and with the township,
to preserve approximately 1,000
acres of land.

T
he holiday season has arrived.
And that means that many
good-hearted people and organ-
izations will be gathering food, cloth-
ing, toys, money and other items for
those less fortunate.
At The Sun, we want to help make
your event as successful as possible.
But to do that, we need your help.
Many retailers count on Black Fri-
day to help put their business in the
black for the year. If holiday sales are
strong, they have a good overall year. If
sales are soft, they struggle to get by.
The same theory can hold true for
nonprofits and other groups that de-
pend on the publics generosity during
the holiday season to see them through
the rest of the year. People, naturally,
are more giving during this time of the
year. So, in the coming weeks, youll
see bell-ringers, donation drives and a
lot of other efforts to help those in
need.
We salute everyone who holds a
drive to help those in need. But we also
want to help make those efforts as
grand and successful as possible.
To do that, we need to know about
your event well in advance (at least two
weeks is best). We need to know what
types of items you are trying to collect,
who will benefit from the drive, and,
most importantly, how people can get
involved to help you.
Email is the best way to send us this
information, and youll find our news
email address throughout this paper.
Then, after we get your information,
well take it from there. Well get it into
the paper and let everyone in town
know what it is you are trying to ac-
complish and how they can be a part of
it.
Many families are still struggling
with the economy. There always are
people in need.
Let us help you to help them. Send
us your event information and lets
make this a big donation year.
in our opinion
Holiday helpers
Its the season to help others; let us know about your fundraiser or drive
The need is there
From devastating storms to an economy
that still isnt humming along, the need for
donations this holiday period is strong.
Tell us about your fundraising effort or
donation drive, and well tell everyone
else.
Township should protect green
acre properties from chemicals
On Nov. 14, the Township Committee
passed Resolution No. 13-11-270 to auction
off leases to 14 commercially-farmed,
township-owned green acre properties, to-
taling 375 acres of tillable land. The resolu-
tion contains minimal environmental safe-
guards, which leaves us vulnerable to
harm from the chemicals used in conven-
tional commercial agriculture. There
should be an amendment further restrict-
ing the use of chemicals on these town-
ship-owned properties.
First, pesticides are designed to kill. By
their very nature, chemical pesticides used
in conventional agriculture are toxic to hu-
mans. The National Cancer Institute and
the United States Environmental Protec-
tion Agency are conducting an in-depth
study, called the Agricultural Health Study,
which has concluded that conventional
farming communities have higher rates of
leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multi-
ple myeloma and soft tissue sarcoma, as
well as cancers of the skin, lip, stomach,
brain and prostate. It seems axiomatic that
working and living next to fields that rou-
tinely get widespread industrial applica-
tions of deadly chemicals will be harmful
to your health. The science proves it.
Secondly, acceptable levels of chemicals
on land (and the associated cleanup stan-
dards) are changing. Many substances that
were once thought to be safe are now
known to be toxic and have been banned,
requiring extremely costly cleanups. The
township should keep its green acre
properties free of chemicals for all future
uses, or it may one day face substantial
cleanup costs and/or severe limitations on
the use of those properties.
Third, there is no financial benefit to the
township or residents for allowing its
green acres to be a source of toxic chemi-
cal contamination in our community. The
resolution says that the starting bid will be
$8 per acre, per year. The Committee said it
does not expect the winning bidders to
cover the costs of drafting and copying the
leases.
Fourth, the use of chemicals on these
parcels will hurt our property values. The
Committee and the clerk agreed to notify
prospective purchasers of real estate in the
township of the use of commercial agri-
cultural chemicals on these green acres, as
a possible off-site disturbance. Instead of
telling prospective purchasers that the
beautiful house they are looking at could
be contaminated by a potential crop-dust-
ing accident, why not amend the resolution
so we can advertise our preserved land as
organic green acres? What would be better
for our property values?
Lastly, by prohibiting the use of chemi-
cals, we will be inviting organic farmers
who might not otherwise place a bid at the
auction. Organic farms are more rustic
and old fashioned than anything else. Sim-

Email us at news@themontgomerysun.com
The following information was
provided by the Montgomery
Township Police Department.
On Oct. 22 at 10:42 a.m., Mont-
gomery Police arrested a 29-year-
old male for an outstanding war-
rant. He was operating a 2003
Honda Pilot on Route 206. He was
stopped for a motor vehicle viola-
tion. He was found to have an out-
standing traffic warrant from
South Bound Brook in the
amount of $766. He was placed
under arrest and taken to Mont-
gomery Police Headquarters for
processing. He was released after
posting bail and is scheduled to
appear in the South Bound Brook
Municipal Court.
On Oct. 27 at 10:57 p.m., a 55-
year-old woman was arrested for
DWI. She was driving a 2005
Acura north on Route 206 and
made an illegal left turn onto Or-
chard Road. Officer Gray ob-
served the violation and stopped
her. Gray detected the odor of an
alcoholic beverage while speak-
ing with the woman and initiated
field sobriety testing, which she
subsequently failed. She was ar-
rested and transported to police
headquarters for processing. Her
car was impounded and towed
from the scene. Gray issued sum-
monses for failure to observe a
traffic signal and DWI. She was
released to a friend, pending an
appearance in Montgomery
Township Municipal Court.
On Oct. 30 at 5:20 p.m., Mont-
gomery Police stopped a 28-year-
old female on Cherry Hill Road
for speeding. She was unable to
produce a drivers license and de-
termined to be operating on a sus-
pended and expired New Jersey
drivers license and she had an ac-
tive traffic warrant from Hamil-
ton Township for failing to ap-
pear. During the stop, a marijua-
na grinder, rolling papers and a
homemade pipe were discovered
in her vehicle. She was placed
under arrest and transported to
Montgomery Township Police De-
partment. She was issued a com-
plaint summons for possession of
drug paraphernalia and motor
vehicle summonses for speeding,
driving while suspended and
being an unlicensed driver. She
was released on $250 bail related
to the warrant and is scheduled to
appear in Montgomery Munici-
pal Court.
On Nov. 1 at 7:02 a.m., Mont-
gomery Police responded to the
intersection of Burnt Hill Road
and Skillman Road for a report of
a two-vehicle crash. It was deter-
mined that a 2012 Acura MDX, op-
erated by a 52-year-old male, did
not come to a complete stop.
The 2012 Acura MDX, turned
left from Skillman Road onto
Burnt Hill Road into a 2008 Ford
F250 operated by a 27-year-old
male. Investigation by the Mont-
gomery Police determined that
the 52-year-old failed to stop or
yield at the intersection, so he
was issued a summons for failure
to stop or yield and is scheduled
to appear in Montgomery Munici-
pal Court. Both vehicles were
towed.
On Nov. 8 at 11:41 p.m., Mont-
gomery Township Police investi-
gated a suspicious vehicle at the
Village Shopper. Police spotted a
truck on the north side of the
building where new construction
is taking place. Further investiga-
tion by the police revealed that a
27-year-old male had been rum-
maging through the construction
dumpster to find scrap metal. He
was found to have outstanding ar-
rest warrants from Hillsborough
Township and Bordentown Town-
ship. He was arrested and turned
over to Hillsborough Township
Police after it was determined
that he did not have the $1,300
necessary to satisfy the outstand-
ing warrants.
At Nov. 11 at 12:16 p.m., Mont-
gomery Township Police respond-
ed to the area in front of the Belle
Mead Post Office for a report of a
possible natural gas leak. Upon
arrival, a gas leak was confirmed
due to a line being damaged by an
excavating crew working on the
property. A crewmember struck a
gas line with a shovel while dig-
ging. PSE&G was notified and re-
sponded. Montgomery Township
Fire Co. No. 1 responded. Oasis
Tile, Belle Mead Post Office and
Belle Mead Garage were all evac-
uated for approximately 90 min-
utes. All personnel from those
businesses returned after the gas
line was turned off and the build-
ings were cleared from any poten-
tial hazards. Traffic on Route 206
wasnt interrupted during this in-
cident.

Mary Jacobs Memorial
Library event a success
The Mary Jacobs Memorial Li-
brary was filled to capacity for its
annual Food and Wine Event on
Nov. 2. After eight years, its be-
come a much-anticipated event;
tickets were sold out and folks ar-
rived at 6:30 p.m. for a 7 p.m. party
so they could get prime parking
spots and begin tasting the de-
lightful South African foods and
wines.
This event has become a tradi-
tion. Community residents are
eager to attend because it is a
wonderful, friendly party with
enticing food and wine from a dif-
ferent country each year and
they value the importance of the
Mary Jacobs Library to this area
and to their lives.
We also had an outpouring of
support from 30 businesses that
were proud to be sponsors of this
event (thank you, The Mont-
gomery Sun) and 50 local busi-
ness that donated auction items.

I also wish to thank our new
caterer, The Catering Company in
Blawenburg, for serving exciting
South African foods; our wine
providers, Greg Olsen Private
Vineyards and Glendale Wines,
for a very fine pairing of South
African wines; Robinsons Choco-
lates for providing a sweet end to
the evening; and Nicholas Filome-
na, a Rutgers music student, who
entertained the crowd all
evening. And, I am extremely
grateful to our tremendous volun-
teer committee, led by Connie
Hallman, Ingrid Yurchenco,
Christine Petrane and Mary Ann
Baumunk, who all worked ex-
tremely hard to make the event
our most successful its ever been.
If you would like to help us with
this much-anticipated annual
event, please contact Shannon
Hurley at shannon.mjlfounda-

I am so pleased that our event
raised a record of more than
$30,000, but we are still $50,000
short of our fundraising goal of
$150,000 to operate the MJL build-
ing. This community is realizing
that the MJL is a privately-owned
library building that needs its fi-
nancial support to sustain it.
I know that there are many
users of the library who will
make donations before the end of
the year to help us achieve this
goal because the MJL is an essen-
tial and good investment in their
lives and their community.

munity, Sugden said. My wife
and I moved out of New York City
so that I could join an Internet
payment startup based in Prince-
ton. I spent nearly four years as
CFO of Princeton eCom Corpora-
tion, which became a success in
the online billing and payments
industry.
After leaving eCom, Sugden
joined the team at Edison Ven-
tures, where he said he had the
opportunity to meet thousands of
New Jerseys entrepreneurs.
Edison has invested in more
than 30 New Jersey-based compa-
nies, and I have personally invest-
ed more than $60 million in New
Jersey-based companies while at
Edison, he said. Entrepreneurs
are the drivers of technology in-
novation, job creation and devel-
oping new markets their pas-
sion and energy drives all of us at
Edison.
Although the recipient of a
personal award, Sugden credits
much of his success to his team at
Edison Ventures.
Individual awards are almost
always the culmination of a
teams success, and that is defi-
nitely the case with this award,
he said. I certainly would not
have the opportunity to receive
this honor without the support,
hard work and great results the
Edison Ventures team has deliv-
ered over many years.
We are thrilled to have Chris
Sugden accept this award, said
Maxine Ballen, NJTC president.
He has been instrumental in
leading Edisons investments in
some of New Jerseys fastest-
growing companies. I would like
to thank him for partnering with
the NJTC to create our annual Fi-
nancial Technology conference, a
premier event in the region.
Sugden has been leading Edi-
son Ventures, which was founded
by the awards namesake, John
Martinson, for the last four years,
and hopes to further the
companys success moving for-
ward.
John left large shoes for me to
fill and made a lasting impact on
New Jerseys venture capital
community, Sugden said. I and
our entire team look forward to
building Edison to even greater
heights in the coming years.
Established in 1986, Edison
partners with entrepreneurs,
service providers and other fi-
nancing sources to build success-
ful companies. Edison provides
capital and value-added services
to late-stage, information technol-
ogy businesses.
The NJTC, a non-profit organi-
zation, provides business sup-
port, networking opportunities,
information, advocacy, and recog-
nition of technology companies
and their leaders. Founded in
1996, NJTC's member companies
work together to support their
own enterprises while advancing
New Jersey's status as a leading
technology center in the United
States. For more information,
