    Governors Teacher of the YearAward given to OBoyle twice

    and invites students who havetaken his Renaissance Art IIclass to travel with him to Italyfor an art-intensive trip.

    Hes conducted eight trips sofar.

    Direct, experiential learningis invaluable, OBoyle said. Youget to see living history on each

    picture. When youre in person,the vitality of the work is amaz-ing. We talk about the history ofeach work [we see], how they[artists] managed to make thattype of art during that time peri-od and how politics affected art.Its a combination of psychologyand living history, which givesyou a world point of view. Its agreat bonding experience.

    OBoyle also feels that its cru-cial to relay his professional tal-ents to his students to help teachthem.

    I do art in front of them,demonstrate, show them how tohandle materials, show them myprofessional works, my problemsolving, and criticism I solicitfrom other people to make mywork stronger, he said. Its im-portant for my students to seethat I work, too Im not just adictator. I can show everything

    from figure drawing to anatomy,to copying brush strokes of animpressionist.

    Aside from this honor, OBoylehas also received the GovernorsTeacher of the Year Award twiceand Hopewell Valley RegionalSchool Districts Teacher of theYear Award several times, includ-ing last year.

    "As a teacher, Doc pushes his

    students," said Hannah Solomon,a student of OBoyles. "He chal-lenges them to do their best work,and he is always there for thosewho need assistance or inspira-tion.

    He sits down, gives an honestcritique of the work, and showshow it could be improved. Heholds everyone to a high stan-dard, but he understands it is astandard we can all reach. All heexpects is effort and respect."

    I want students to be as good

    as they can be, OBoyle said.Seeing my students become vi-sionaries in so many differentways thats what Ive alwaysloved. I say, did you ever thinkyour skill level would be at thepoint its at now? Or, was thiswork you thought youd createwhen you entered in Septem-ber?

    The late U.S. Sen. Frank Lauten-

    berg wasnt even in his grave

    yet, when the political maneu-

    vering began.

    The death of the 89-year-old New

    Jersey Democrat on June 3 presented

    Gov. Christie with several options, but

    he has chosen one that will cost tax-payers wallets dearly. Instead of al-

    lowing voters to choose Lautenbergs

    successor in the Nov. 5 general elec-

    tion, hes ordering a special election

    less than three weeks before on

    Wednesday, Oct. 16.

    The cost of an Aug. 13 primary and

    an Oct. 16 special election is $24 mil-

    lion. Since the governor has alreadychosen New Jersey Attorney General

    Jeff Chiesa as the interim replace-

    ment, we wonder whats the harm in

    saving taxpayers a bundle by allowing

    Chiesa to hang on to the job three

    weeks longer so that the cost of a spe-

    cial election can be avoided. Democra-

    cy is priceless, but is something else

    going on here?

    State Sen. Barbara Buono, whose

    gubernatorial campaign against

    Christie might have benefited from the

    coattails of a strong Democratic U.S.

    Senate candidate on the same Nov. 5

    ballot, wasted no time taking the offen-

    sive.

    Earlier this year, the governor

    cited money as to why he vetoed early

    voting, Buono said in a press state-

    ment, referring to Christies May 9

    veto of legislation that would have let

    people cast ballots during a 15-day pe-

    riod before Election Day. However, de-spite costing millions of dollars, Gov.

    Christie made the cynical and arro-

    gant decision to call a special election

    in October.

    Buono may not be without her own

    political motives in this controversy,

    but she makes a valid point.

    As the governor, Christie has the

    right to take advantage of the power ofhis position, and he did just that. We

    just wish it wasnt costing so much.

    Christies costly moveSpecial election for Lautenbergs replacement will cost $24M

    Your thoughts

    What are your thoughts on Gov.Christies decision to hold a specialelection on Oct. 16 to replace Sen. FrankLautenberg? Let your voice be heardthrough a letter to the editor.

    BOE introduces new

    homework regulationBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

    At the Hopewell Valley Region-al School District Board of Edu-cations last meeting, the boardintroduced a new, comprehensivehomework regulation.

    The regulation discusseshomework quantity and quality,as well as the need for teachers tocoordinate to ensure consistencyand a reasonable workload, saidLisa Wolff, school board presi-dent.

    The main purpose of home-work is simply to promote stu-dent achievement, she said. Ithink our regulation looks to re-inforce the skills students learn

    in school, while understandingthe need to balance constraintsimposed by other enriching activ-ities.

    Back in 2011, after the movieRace to Nowhere was screenedin the district, a committee of su-pervisors, teachers, parents andother members of the adminis-tration formed a committee tobuild consensus around the mosteffective use of homework.

    This regulation is the culmina-tion of almost two years of workled by Superintendent TomSmith, with help from the Home-work Committee.

    There is also a part of the reg-ulation that sets specific guide-lines for students, parents, care-

    givers and teachers so each per-son can play his or her role in theprocess.

    If we want to produce well-rounded and socially consciousstudents that graduate ready forcollege, career and life in a glob-ally competitive economy, thenwe all need to take responsibilityand work together, Wolff said.

    The board conducted the firstreading of the regulation at itsMay 20 meeting.

    The second reading and adop-tion is set to take place at theboards next meeting on Monday,June 17.

    To view the regulation, go tothe Board of Educations websitehvrsd.org.

    A survey of Hopewell Valley

    special needs individuals foundthat they would like more localrecreational activities specificallyfor them.

    Nearly 100 people answered thesurvey, which was posted on theHopewell Valley Regional SchoolDistrict website from Jan. 14 toMarch 11. Individuals (or theirparents or families) who rangedin age from under 6 to 55 tookpart.

    The survey asked respondentsif they participate in mainstreamrecreation activities, if theywould like more activities specifi-cally for them, and if so, whatkind. They were also asked whatbarriers they experience.

    The Hopewell Valley SpecialNeeds Advisory Committee for-mulated the survey. The commit-tee is made up of parents of, andindividuals with, special needs,and other community members,the Hopewell Township Recre-ation Department, and members

    from non-profit organizations andbusinesses.

    The findings included in al-most all the age groups surveyed,more than half of respondentssaid they would like to see localrecreational activities specificallyfor them; accommodations thatmay be needed include smallgroup sizes, volunteer buddies toassist the participants, and/orwheelchair access; younger re-spondents (up to age 14) expressedinterest in activities that included

    instrumental and vocal musicprograms, swimming, horsebackriding, bowling, bike riding, mar-tial arts, and general sports pro-grams; and respondents 15 andolder also asked for social oppor-tunities that included dinner,cooking and outing clubs, andmovie nights, as well as sportsand classes.

    The percentage of special

    needs kids who take part in main-stream recreation activities de-creases with age since the gap be-tween typically developing chil-dren and those with special needswidens as they get older. In thesame vein, the percentage of re-spondents who want new specialneeds recreation opportunitieswent up with age.

    Among 19 to 35year olds, 80 per-cent asked for more local recre-ational activities, including cook-ing, bowling, computer and artclasses, as well as movie and so-cial clubs, specifically for them.

    Some programs already run-ning in Hopewell include the Next

    Level Soccer Academys TOPSoc-

    cer program, in which team play-ers assist special needs kids. An-other is the Hopewell ValleyYMCA Special Olympics NJTrack program at Hopewell Val-ley Central High School. NigelBates, a Hopewell Valley CentralHigh School senior who coachesthe program, said it benefits run-ners and coaches alike.

    Another such program is theTherapeutic Riding Program atthe Mercer County EquestrianCenter.
