FRIENDS AND ALLIES: Borough resident Mitchell Synakowski (right) began working at PetSmart in February of 2008 after Mike Cestero (left) from Allies, Inc. found him a position there. With the assistance of a team of Allies job coaches, Mr. Synakowski has thrived in the workplace environment. Allies is a nonprofit organization based in Mercer County that serves over 2,000 individuals with disabilities. |
Even in a harsh economic climate, Borough resident Mitchell Synakowski has been able to find and keep his job for the past 14 months.
At their meeting on Monday evening, Princeton Township Committee members approved the introduction of an ordinance that will fine-tune the existing law regarding canine misbehavior. Instead of the current law, which covers the “gamut” of infractions “from tearing up bushes to biting people,” as Township Attorney Edwin Schmierer described it, the new law would distinguish between inappropriate behavior and biting incidents, with a $250 fine for the first biting offense, and $500 for the second. A $75 fine would be imposed for all other offenses. A public hearing on the ordinance will be held on Monday, May 18.
