By KEVIN CANESSA JR.The Montgomery Sun
Its one of those stories mostwould rather forget, but its resur-faced again and the man in-volved will remain incarceratedfor a crime he was convicted ofcommitting several years ago.
A state appeals court last weekupheld a lower-courts convictionof 39-year-old John Burnett Mem-mel, who more than a year agowas sentenced to five years inprison on charges that he usedbias intimidation, threatenedto kill and unlawfully possessed agun during an incident involvinga black man, Quran Vaughn, hisfiance and his children in 2007.
According to the per curiamappellate-court decision, in 2007,Memmel threatened to killVaughn, while using the Nword during the fracas. The inci-dent took place after Memmel andVaughn were nearly involved in a
car crash in Montgomery Town-ship.
Reports say Memmel cutVaughn off on a township road,and then caught up to him at anearby traffic light. It was at thattraffic light that Memmel was al-leged to have said: You want to
get killed, ni****?Memmel also flash
Vaughn, a weapon thadetermined to be fasaid.
At the time of thVaughns young chialso in the car, accorports.
According to repomels defense was thunder the influence painkillers for a bad basuch, Memmels laworiginal trial, arguedbe sentenced only to without prison time.

When one thinks of the gameof football, the color pink doesntexactly come to mind, does it?
Yet that was hardly the case onThursday, Oct. 6 at the Mont-gomery-Phillipsburg footballgame at Cougar Field, as throngsof onlookers and all of theschools cheerleaders donnedpink as a way to raise thousandsof dollars for the Steelchase Can-
cer Center at the Somerset Med-ical Center.
Donna Castronovo, mother ofcheerleader Dana Castronovo anddirector of Special Events at Som-erset Medical Center Foundationoriginally brought the idea tocheerleading Coach Liz
Wittmann.Donna Castronovo said she
first saw a Pink Out at a NotreDame High School football gamein Lawrenceville several yearsago.
She approached Notre Damesprincipal, a nun, to find out howand why they did the Pink Out,and last year, for the first time inMontgomery High Schools histo-ry, the Pink Out became a reali-ty there.
The event raised $2,500 the first
year.Half of the fund raiser, which
actually netted $5,000, went to thecheerleaders.
But the girls, Castronovo said,didnt want the Pink Out toraise money for anything otherthan the Steelchase Center this
year.So, all proceeds, which include
the sale of pink T-shirts, pinkpens and pink wristbands, will goto the center.
When we came back (after see-ing the Notre Dame game), Ispoke with the cheerleaders fundraiser, and we came to a consen-susLets see that we can do,Castronovo said. And this wasnot just about raising the money,mind you. It was about the aware-ness.
And indeed the awarenessbrought about some shocking sta-tistics.
In Somerset County alone, anaverage of 25 people are diag-nosed with cancer each week.

(The) defendant contends thatthe verdict was against theweight of the evidence; the trial
court abused its discretion in per-mitting a witness to testify and inlimiting (the) defendant from in-troducing certain character wit-ness testimony; and the judgeshould have sentenced him to pro-bation, the judges wrote in themajority opinion. Finding nomerit in any of these contentions,we affirm.
Attorneys for Memmel also ar-gued that Vaughns sonwho tes-tified in the original trialshouldnot have been permitted to do soand that the presiding judgeabused his discretion by doing so.
Again, not so, said the appel-late judges.
We find no abuse of thejudges discretion in allowing thechild to testify, the judges wrote.The defense had ample advancenotice of the testimony to be of-fered by this witness. (The) defen-dants arguments on this point
warrant no further discussion.On appeal, Memmels attor-
neys also argued that the threatlevel in this case didnt amount tobias intimidation, according toreports.
But the appeals court affirmedthe lower-court judges five-yearsentence, as well.
This was not a victimlesscrime, the judges wrote. (The)defendant committed an ap-palling act and inflicted a terrify-ing experience on Vaughn, his fi-ance and their young children.We affirm substantially for the
reasons set forth by the trial judge in his comprehensive oralopinion on June 11, 2010, and hiswritten statement of reasons setforth in the judgment of convic-tion.
Memmels lawyer had hoped toknock the sentence down to pro-bation on appeal, according to re-
ports.Memmels attorneys were not
immediately available for com-ment.

in our opinion
T
he Nov. 8 elections are right
around the corner. That means
increased pulse rates, profuse
sweating and normally rational people
occasionally acting a bit unusual.
Emotions always run high during
elections especially if they include
hotly-contested local races. This year,
since the entire Legislature is on the
ballot, everyone has a reason to show
up at the polls, even if your town has
no local races.
Here at The Sun, we have a few
things planned:
First, if your town has a local con-
test, all of the candidates have been in-vited to participate in our Meet the
Candidates series. This series will pro-
file the candidates, give them a few
questions to answer and, finally, give
them a chance to make a final pitch to
voters. We ask candidates to avoid at-
tacks on their opponents and focus on
what they would do if elected.
For the most part, this series will ap-
pear online. This way, candidates have
all the space they need to respond to
questions, and readers can interact
with each other and, perhaps, the can-
didates, in discussing the issues.
Our election letters policy appears
elsewhere on this page. As you will
see, we have implemented special
rules to try to keep things as produc-
tive, fair and civil as possible. We en-
courage you to read the policy and
contact your local editor if you have
any questions.
Some of these changes are new this
year. After each election, we review
our coverage and policies and talk to
candidates and readers. Then we try to
improve the process for the next elec-
tion.
As always, we welcome your feed-
back and ideas, and we encourageeveryone to get involved in this years
elections.
Election timeHeres what you will find in The Sun in the coming weeks
Here they come
Get ready to meet your local candi-dates. And find out how you can offeryour thoughts on the election.
Elections letter policy
To be fair to candidates and voters in theupcoming Nov. 8 election, heres how let-ters to the editor regarding the election willbe handled for the next few weeks.
The Sun will publish letters regarding theelection in print editions through Oct. 26.After that, election letters will be publishedonline only.
Were doing this to prevent last-minuteattacks and accusations that leave no timefor responses or rebuttals in print. Theonline format allows for ongoing commen-tary and debate.
We recognize this isnt a perfect system.
For example, responses to letters in theOct. 26 print edition will appear online only,not in print. But, we think this is a reason-able policy that allows the community todebate important issues, while keepingthings as fair as possible for everyone.
Please keep in mind that the usual rulesapply to election letters: Anonymous letterswill not be published, all letters are subjectto editing, avoid letters that are in poortaste or libelous, etc.
Also keep in mind that, to be considered fora print edition, we should have your letterin hand no later than the Thursday prior topublication. For example, if you want yourletter to appear in the Oct. 26 edition, weshould receive it no later than Oct. 20. We
anticipate a large number of letters thiscampaign season, so dont delay. We willattempt to publish as many letters as possi-ble.
If we receive more election letters than wecan publish due to limited space in ourpapers, the letters we publish will reflectthe ratio of letters received. For example, ifwe receive 30 letters supporting CandidateA, and 10 letters supporting Candidate B,we will publish three letters for CandidateA and one for Candidate B.
Please contact your local editor throughthe email address in this paper with anyquestions.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Montgomery needsRich Smith
Come November, I will be enthusiasti-cally voting for Rich Smith for Mont-gomery Township Committee. The currentRepublican team is doing a great job, and
Richs unique background and dedicationto Montgomery will ensure we stay on theright track.
Rich and his wife, Valerie, moved toMontgomery 15 years ago and quickly be-came involved in the community. Rich wasone of the founding officers of the Mont-gomery Township Education Foundation,a non-profit organization committed tosupporting our public school system andchildren (like his two daughters).
During his time with the MTEF, itsbiggest accomplishment was securingfunding for the construction of CougarStadium.
Rich and his family also helped lead thelocal relief effort for Hurricane Katrina
victims in 2005. Along with several otherfamilies, Rich and Valerie organized andobtained donations. Not only did they gath-er enough supplies to fill a 50-foot trailer,they also drove down to Biloxi, Miss. to de-liver the goods.
In addition, Richs community serviceincludes volunteer work with our local
government. He is currently serving onMontgomerys zoning board and is a for-mer member of the Transportation Advi-sory Committee.
However, what makes me so excitedabout Rich is his construction-engineeringand business background. He has workedfor some of the largest construction com-panies in the nation and is an infrastruc-ture expert. Montgomery faces several sig-nificant challenges with our sewer systemand roadways over the next few years.Clearly, he has the right experience andskills at the right time. On Nov. 8, pleasevote for Rich Smith. Montgomery needshim.

Disappointed withelection hyperbole
This years township election should beone residents of Montgomery can be proudof, but unfortunately, the local Democraticteam has already gone overboard.
Why do elections have to be full of hy-perbole and political foolishness?
I am very disappointed with the Democ-rats and their candidate, Mark Petraske.
The Democrats are claiming that the Re-publican township committee doesnt rep-resent the views of most residents.
Really?This claim is clearly false. The Republi-
can team has won the past three electionsincluding 2008when almost 90 percent of(township) registered voters came to thepolls.
Why cant we just focus on the issues in-stead of meaningless rhetoric?

Its really a shocking statis-tic, Castronovo said.
Castronovo said the generosityof local businesses, which donat-ed the pens, the wristbands andother in-kind items, ensured thata substantial amount of moneycould be raised in 2011.
The Manville-based companythat makes the Pink Out T-shirts only charged the cheerlead-ers $3.50 per shirt.
Theyre then able to sell theshirts for $10, turning around a$6.50 profitall of which is to bedonated to the center.
Its so important for todayschildren to understand the bene-
fits of philanthropy, Castronovosaid.
Its so important to (give) backto the community. My daughter is
a cheerleader, and I am so proudof her and each of the girls forwhat they do here. Its incredi-ble.
While it wasnt immediatelyknown how much was raisedfrom this years donations, its ex-pected that sometime later thismonth the cheerleaders will pres-ent a sizeable check to theSteelchase Center in a ceremonyon the Montgomery High Schoolcampus.
Were all touched by cancer inone way or another, Castronovosaid.

POLICE REPORTS
Montgomery residents: Dont forget your flu sh
Are the Democrats seriouslyclaiming that the quality of town-ship services is declining?
Montgomerys response toHurricane Irene was outstand-ing.
Our police, public works teamand volunteer firefighters andEMS all worked extremely welltogether and handled the stormmuch better than other towns.The facts simply dont supporttheir claims.
Please remember, Mr. Petraskewas (former Gov.) Jon Corzines
hand-picked candidate for theGeneral Assembly in 2009.
He has a long record of sup-porting tax-and-spend govern-ment.
He also supported the formerlocal Democratic team for yearswhen they raised our municipaltaxes by 30 percent, increased ourdebt to $60 million and depletedour surplus by 75 percent.
On Nov. 8, I urge you to vote forthe better choice, Rich Smith.Richs construction-engineeringbackground and real-world busi-ness experience will serve Mont-gomery well.
More importantly, he is run-ning a campaign all of Mont-gomery can be proud of and hewill ensure that we stay on theright track.
