Van Dyke/Pulda Farm Saved!!

Best News Yet

The Van Dyke/Pulda Farm on Davidson Mill Road has been purchased for open space preservation by the Township, County, and State. The is the perfect ending to over five years of effort by residents and Township officials to save this historic and beautiful old farm.

Not only is the land of historical significance, but the soil itself is some of the best farmland in the country, another incredibly valuable asset to us all. The farm "fills out" the northeastern corner of the Pigeon Swamp State Park, completing a long time quest on the part of environmental and community preservationists.

Township officials including Mayor Gambatese, Councilmen Killmurray, Carley, Camarota, and Shah all played a significant role in acquiring this treasure. Freeholder Carol Barret played two roles as well working both on the Township level and in the County. Listing the citizens involved along the way would fill a page.

It is a rare and special time when hard work pays off big time. This is one of those times. To all who played a part, "Thank you!" You all deserve a standing ovation.

Housekeeper, homeowner held at gunpoint as men ransack house in South Brunswick

By Joshua Burd • Staff Writer • June 10, 2009

*** begin quote ***



SOUTH BRUNSWICK — A group of armed men forced their way into a home Tuesday afternoon, holding a housekeeper and the homeowner at gunpoint while ransacking the house and then fleeing with valuables, police said.

Investigators say the housekeeper was the lone occupant at 14 Harmony Lane when the doorbell rang just before noon Tuesday. The woman told police she opened the door for what she believed was one person, but found two additional men outside who promptly rushed into the home.

So much for the idea that South Brunswick is quiet and safe.

Wonder if we’ll see this on “Township TV”?

Yet Another Accident at Stillwell and Rt27

Three car rear ender. Like elephants, nose to tail and nose to tail.

Why can't we have a "sympathetic" light at that corner in time with the one just a little south from there?

Would make it easier for everyone!

Argh!

GRAND SLAM struck out

Anyone notice that GRAND SLAM down the road from the new High School has closed its doors. It's been a fixture for ages.



(At the risk of being political, this is NOT the kind of "change" that I was "hoping" for!)
