Feral hogs may be harvested anywhere in the zone. Free-ranging feral hogs of either gender and any age are legal game while deer hunting during the Fall Bow, Permit Bow, Six-day Firearm, Permit Muzzleloader, Permit Shotgun and Winter Bow seasons, provided the hunter has not reached the bag limit for the deer season which is open and for which the hunter has the required license and deer permits.

WARRANT ARREST, 9:45 p.m. Dec. 21. Sgt. Thomas DeRosa was at the Fountain Motel, Route 22, on an unrelated matter when he encountered Charles Hart, 55, of Clinton Township. DeRosa soon learned that Hart was wanted on two criminal warrants for his arrest. DeRosa was also able to develop information linking Hart to a Clinton Township burglary in mid-October. DeRosa arrested Hart, who was later transported to the Hunterdon County Jail in default of $780 bail. In addition, Det. Paul Bate charged Hart with burglary, theft and criminal mischief in connection with the October incident.
MARIJUANA, 11:55 p.m. Dec. 21. Sgt. Thomas DeRosa stopped a vehicle on eastbound Route 22 near the Round Valley Access Road because the vehicle had a light out. During the stop, DeRosa smelled the odor of marijuana, police said. A subsequent investigation found more than a half ounce of marijuana, a bong, a digital scale, and packaging materials in a book bag in the vehicle’s trunk, police say. DeRosa charged passenger Robert Arndt, 19, of Clinton Township with possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and being under the influence of marijuana.

Additional charges may be pending against a teenager who went “off-roading” in a township park and got two vehicles, including a High Bridge Rescue Squad rig, stuck in the mud, police said.
James Crampton, 18, of High Bridge, has been charged with possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana, criminal mischief, being under the influence of marijuana and operating a motor vehicle while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance. He has been released on his own recognizance.
At about 3:35 a.m. Dec. 23, Patrolman Sean Ross was checking Foran Field in the Annandale section of the township, when he located Crampton in the park, police said.
The patrolman found a bag of marijuana and soon determined that Crampton had been smoking marijuana at the park, police said.
Ross also saw a 2003 Dodge Dakota stuck in the mud and behind it, the High Bridge Rescue Squad’s water rescue truck which was stuck in the mud up to its axles, police said.
The patrolman determined that after smoking marijuana, Crampton went “off-roading” in the park in the Dodge Dakota, police said.
When that vehicle became stuck, Crampton called friends to help get the Dodge Dakota out of the mud, but the group was unsuccessful, police said.
Crampton then got the squad vehicle in an effort to use its winch to pull the Dodge Dakota out of the mud, but the squad vehicle became stuck too, police said.
How Crampton obtained access to the squad’s vehicle is unclear. Lissa (cq) Ross, chief of the High Bridge Rescue Squad, could not be reached for comment.
The 32-year-old Flemington resident was battling drug addiction and alcoholism. She became the victim of domestic violence and endured a run-in with the law. Finally clean, sober and out of trouble, she recently managed to scrape enough money together to afford a car – a key element, she said, to being able to find a job to support her two boys, Alberto, 3, and Jordan, 1. It was a red 1994 Nissan Sentra with 200,000 miles on the odometer.
Three months later, the car sputtered and died, never to be resurrected.
“I needed a break,” Alberti said. “I just needed help getting a vehicle.”
On Nov. 28, she got her break.
Having told her story online at freecharitycars.org – the Web site of The Original 1-800 Charity Cars, the national nonprofit that supplies free cars to struggling families – Alberti started moving up a regional list of potential recipients as new readers saw her Web page (recipients are determined by how many people vote for individuals on the Web site). Then Global Auto Mall, the sprawling car dealership on Route 22 West in the borough, in November announced that it had signed up for a partnership with the charity.
The first car Global gave away through the charity was a dazzlingly shiny black 1999 Mercedes-Benz E320 sedan. Alberti was the one who was handed the keys.
“When they called my name, I got my life back,” she said. “Never had somebody ever given me such a gift. It’s the best thing that ever happened to me, and I will never, ever forget what they gave me.”
According to a news release from Global, the dealership decided to partner with Charity Cars “in response to these tough economic times” and to help publicize the national charity, which since its 1996 founding has given away more than 4,000 vehicles. Global expects to give out one car each month through the charity, the next one is scheduled to be awarded today, and its commitment includes donating hundreds of thousands of advertising dollars to help generate car donations.
Global Auto Mall Executive Vice President Marty Pecora said the dealership had people such as Alberti in mind when it decided to partner with the charity.
“We got involved with it because I thought it was something the dealership could do to make sure it gave something back to the community,” said Pecora, who added that the national charity coordinates each giveaway, while the dealer simply provides the car and venue.
“The best part is watching them get it,” Pecora said of the monthly giveaways.
Alberti said that she got her car inspected Wednesday, and it passed with flying colors. She uses it to get to her regular meetings at Organization for Recovery, a Plainfield substance abuse rehabilitation center, and to ferry her kids around to wherever they need to go. She even has a new job lined up, she added.
Most importantly, Alberti said, she feels that for the first time in a long time, she’s on the right track.
“This charity, it’s inspired me so much,” she said. “My dream came true. I finally got a break in life.”
HEROIN, 2:07 a.m. Dec. 22. Cpl. Carlos Ferreiro stopped a driven by Ellen McCaffrey, 21, of Lebanon Borough, for speeding on Route 22.

A later search of McCaffrey’s personal property found an open container of alcohol, three small bags of heroin, and one consumed small bag of heroin, police say. McCaffrey was charged with possession of heroin, possession of drug paraphernalia, speeding, possession of an open container of alcohol in a vehicle and driving a motor vehicle in possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
DRUNKEN DRIVING, 11:30 p.m. Dec. 20. Police stopped a silver Dodge pickup truck on Route 22 near County Line Road. While speaking to the driver, Kurt Cortese, 46, of Readingtion, police smelled an alcoholic beverage. Police charged Cortese with driving while intoxicated and driving on the revoked list.
DRUNKEN DRIVING, 3:30 a.m. Dec. 21. Police stopped a silver Lexus Rx400 traveling south on Route 523 near Clubhouse Drive. While speaking to the driver, Jan Vassallo, 31, of Flemington, police smelled an alcoholic beverage. After performing several standard field sobriety tests police charged Vassallo with drunken driving and failing to maintain lane.

DRUNKEN DRIVING, 10:45 p.m. Dec. 19. Patrolman Matthew Murphy, responding to a report of a possible intoxicated driver on Old Mountain Road, located a vehicle driven by John Oellrich, Jr., 58, of Clinton Township and soon determined that Oellrich was intoxicated, police said.
Murphy also learned Oellrich had been involved in a motor vehicle crash. Oellrich was charged with drunken driving, failing to report a motor vehicle accident, leaving the scene of an accident and failing to keep right. When he was unable to have a responsible adult respond to take custody of him, Oellrich was transported to the Hunterdon County Jail for a 12-hour detention. His vehicle was towed and impounded.

Snow plows and shovelers were out in full force on Sunday cleaning up after the season’s first real snow storm, and Somerville Mayor Brian Gallagher said all traces of the white stuff would be removed from Main Street by Monday.
The public works department was catching some sleep after local roads had been cleared by Sunday afternoon, Gallagher said. But he said those employees would be back out at dawn on Monday to get rid of the remains of snow along the curb and on sidewalks.
“We will remove the snow so merchants can catch up on the last three or four days before Christmas,” Gallagher said.
But the white stuff that began falling Saturday afternoon hadn’t hurt sales for all local
businesses.
“We were probably busier than we would have been,” said Paul Sanford, owner of Paul Sanford Jewelers on West Main Street in Somerville. People were in a rush to do their holiday shopping before the snow began falling, he said.
On the other hand, Sanford said customers got off to a slow start on Sunday, when many empty parking spaces remained along Main Street. He said he was expecting to catch up on business early this week.
The first few snowflakes also attracted those who had waited until the final week to select their live Christmas trees, said Vincent DeStefano, owner of Arvin Produce and Garden Center along Route 22 in the Whitehouse section of Readington Township.
“I would say we did better than expected on Saturday,” DeStefano said. He suggested shoppers wanted to avoid bringing home a wet tree laden with snow. The center had blown its trees dry by Sunday afternoon, but even so, few people were stopping by, DeStefano said.
Further west on Route 22 in Whitehouse, the snow brought huge number of shoppers into the Pelican Ski Shop, said manager Andrew Spilatro.
Crowds showed up all day on Saturday in search of snowshoes, rental skis, cross-country skis, snow boards, sleds and other snow-related items, Spilatro said. “We are the only one in town with sleds,” he said.
The snow continued to attract would-be skiers on Sunday, when Spilatro and other employees were busy checking out rented equipment and answering questions about ski areas.
The snow had slowed business at the Candy Bouquet off Route 28 on both Saturday and Sunday, but owner Karin Wassel said she was expecting many more customers than usual on Monday.
“A few years ago, we had a horrific weekend before Christmas, but then we were really busy afterward,” she said.
Many area police confirmed that traffic along area roads was lighter than usual on the night of the storm. No major accidents were reported by State Police in Somerville and Perryville.
Local police in Bridgewater Township also reported no major accidents.

Hunterdon Central’s varsity girls’ golf team coach Lydia Siipola is looking ahead to 2010 with GOGAR (Golf + Yoga).
“It is the third prong in our year-round golf attack,” Siipola said. “We just completed a successful second season of Girls Gone Golfing (GGG or G3). The combination of golf and yoga GOGAR is a natural progression and a great way to wake up winter muscles in time for warmer weather.”
The program will run three consecutive Saturdays in Hunterdon Central’s auxilary gymnasium on the Upper Campus from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. March 13, 20 and 27. The sessions will feature 45 minutes of golf balanced by 45 minutes of yoga.
Siipola and members of the Hunterdon Central girls’ team will conduct the golfing segment, while certified trainer Kristi Carver will run the yogi segment. Participants may sign up for one or all sessions. The cost is $20 per Saturday.
Designed for the new or experienced golfer, this program will allow participants to learn the short-game scoring strategies of the 2009 state champion girls’ golf team and to isolate, develop and strengthen the core. It is a fundraiser for the HCRHS girls’ golf team.
To register for the program or for more information, contact Siipola at Lsiipola@hcrhs.k12.nj.us.
Many of us choose the New Year to make a new start, making New Year’s resolutions to do it. But, sadly, almost none of us keep them. The problem is we try to tough it out alone using sheer willpower. However, many of the resolutions involve long-term habits and are difficult to change without help. That’s where hypnosis comes in.
Come to the Hunterdon County Library on Wednesday, Jan. 6 at 7 p.m. and learn how hypnosis can be a very effective tool to help this year’s resolutions come true.
The Hypnosis Counseling Center has nearly 23 years of experience in helping clients attain their goals and successfully change their lives for the better. The center has offices in Bloomfield, Flemington and Frenchtown. To find out more about hypnosis therapy, contact Barry Wolfson at 908-996-3311 or visit www.hypnosisnj.com.
This program is free, but space is limited. Reservations are required by calling 908-788-1434 or visiting the Library Web site’s Events Calendar at www.hclibrary.us.
