plan for
program
changes
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
As the new year kicks off,
Lawrence Township Public
Schools (LTPS) are planning to
re-evaluate existing programs, ex-
pand each schools technology
base, and most notably, imple-
ment a new assessment program.
The newly instated administra-
tive evaluation program is the
major addition for LTPS this year,
according to Director of Instruc-
tional Services Andrew Zucker-
man.
We are currently implement-
ing the administrative evaluation
because were part of the pilot
programs for the state of New
Jersey, he said. We already have
a start on that, but we are cur-
rently working with our District
Evaluation Advisory Committee
(DEAC) on implementing the
plan and procedures for the
teacher evaluation program.

County receives funds for food, shelter programs
Visit us online at www.lawrencesun.com
Mercer County has been cho-
sen to receive $158,198 to supple-
ment emergency food and shelter
programs in the Mercer County
area.
The selection was made by a
National Board that is chaired by
the Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency (FEMA).
Under the terms of the grant
from the National Board, local
government or private voluntary
organizations chosen to receive
funds must be non-profit, have an
accounting system, practice
nondiscrimination, have demon-
strated the capability to deliver
emergency food and/or shelter
programs, and if they are private
voluntary organization, they
must have a voluntary board.
Qualifying organizations are
urged to apply. There is no fund-
ing for administration, overhead,
or staff costs, only for the direct
assistance to those in need of
emergency food or shelter.
The Local Board, made up of
United Way of Greater Mercer
County, State, City and County
Government, The Salvation
Army, Red Cross, Catholic Chari-
ties, local clergy, the Jewish Fed-
eration of Mercer and Bucks
County, and other human service
organizations, has determined
how the funds awarded to Mercer
County are to be distributed
among the emergency food and
shelter programs run by local
service organizations in the area.
The Local Board is responsible
for recommending agencies to re-
ceive these funds and any addi-
tional funds available under this
phase of the program.
The local Board for Mercer
County has determined that
Emergency Food and Shelter
funds for 2012 will be distributed
to the following the City of
Trenton, Catholic Charities, Mer-
cer Street Friends, Jewish Family
and Childrens Service, Crisis
Ministries, Mount Carmel Guild,
the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen
(TASK), and The Salvation Army,
for food, shelter, rent/mortgage,
and utility assistance. Since
funds were limited again this
year (over $318,000 was request-
ed), the board was not able to fund
everything that was requested.
The federal government was
late this year in announcing the
2012 awards, so organizations
have until March 31, 2013 to dis-
tribute their funds to Mercer
County residents.
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
Throughout most of 2012, the
Lawrence Township Council was
faced with dealing with a sub-
stantial budget gap that neared $1
million at one point. It has now
been cut in half to approximately
$500,000 because of the actions
the council has taken to generate
new sources of revenue in the
township, all in an effort to bal-
ance the 2013 budget.
Since last year, the council has
attempted to introduce a variety
of ways to solve its budget crisis,
most notably, the proposed 17-per-
cent municipal tax increase refer-
endum in April, which was
soundly rejected by residents by a
2-1 margin.
However, at the council's last
meeting of 2012 on Dec. 18, four
separate ordinances were adopt-
ed that increased fees in various
departments, which was the
council's latest attempt to bridge
the half-million dollar gap.
One of the ordinances, which
residents are upset about, deem-
ing it a "back-door tax," institutes
a mandatory bulk waste collec-
tion fee for "white goods furni-
ture, large appliances and other
items that are too large for regu-
lar collection for every resident
who receives curbside trash col-
lection, whether they utilize the
service or not.
This fee will be set annually by
the council and will require resi-
dents to pay anywhere from $0 to
$55.
Although there is no solid
number for the fee yet, Township
Manager Richard Krawczun ex-
plained how it will not be at the
maximum amount.
"The fee will be set once we
look at some of our information
for the 2013 budget, and it will
then model what the appropriate
fee should be based on the cost
that we know of for white goods
collection services," he said.
At the Dec. 18 meeting, the
council members expressed their
understanding for members of
the public who opposed the fee,
but detailed how the alternative
option a sticker program

would be much more expensive.
Krawczun described the stick-
er program and how it would re-
quire residents to get stickers on
a per item basis or a per item
basis on a flat fee.
"Under the sticker program, it
would require you to come in and
get the sticker and apply that to
whatever the good is, and then it
would be picked up with regular
trash collection," he said. "Under
the sticker program, there's also a
cost to administer it from the in-
side, where we get into the cost of
enforcement."
Aside from the higher cost,
Krawczun's main concern with
the sticker program is that it will
encourage more illegal dumping
because some people won't want
to buy the stickers, especially if
some stickers can range as high
as $50 or $100 per item.
By charging a flat fee, which
will probably be between $20 and
$25 in "the worst case scenario"
according to Krawczun, costs will
be kept lower than those proposed
by a sticker program.
Many residents voiced their op-
position to the ordinance, includ-
ing resident Nick Safera, who
stated that all residents are in the
same predicament and "just can't
take this anymore."
"You're hitting everybody with
this fee that I bet 95 percent of
them aren't going to use," he said.
"When I get my couch delivered,
the furniture place takes it away.
When I get my appliances deliv-
ered, the appliance people take it
away."
"My taxes have doubled in 14
years, and I know my salary has-
n't, and I just can't afford it," he
added.
Another ordinance that was
passed involved a rise in fees for
medical services. Transportation
in an ambulance was increased
from $675 to $785, and each mile
driven was increased from $10 to
$15. Other fees were raised for the
use of oxygen, a cervical collar
and extrication from a vehicle.
The council also passed in-
creases in zoning permit fees for
residential and commercial prop-
erties, which include things such
as additions, fences, signs and
building expansions.
Aside from the rise in zoning
permit and emergency medical
service fees, as well as the new
bulk waste collection fee, the
council also passed an ordinance
increasing the fees for recreation
department programs, which was
put into place to ultimately help
the taxpayers pockets, according
to Krawczun.
By generating revenue, it will
reduce the level of costs not cov-
ered, which helps to resolve our
budget gap, he said.
Superintendent of Recreation
Steven Groeger echoed Kraw-
czuns comments and explained
how the intent of the increased
fees is to ultimately get the recre-
ation department to a point
where it becomes stable over the
next five years.
The idea is that were trying
to get to a point where all of the
costs of the recreation office
come from other (sources) than
the taxpayers, he said. So the
recreation office expenses, which
include full-time staff, benefits,
part-time staff, all of the non-
salary payments, all of the costs
to run the programs (whether its
a direct cost or indirect cost), ma-
terials, and equipment would
come from revenue generated
from either user fees or other
sources, which might be corpo-
rate sponsorships, team sponsor-
ships, new programming or dona-
tions.
When council was looking into
various township programs and
departments for areas it could cut
or adjust to fix the budget gap, the
recreation department was close-
ly looked at, according to Groeger,
who Krawczun worked with to de-
velop the new fees.
There was some discussion,
along with a list of other poten-
tial cuts, that there might be some
additional staffing reductions in
the recreation department,
which, by virtue of reducing
staff, would potentially result in
elimination of programs, he
said.
Groeger detailed how the col-
lective increase in fees is 13 per-
cent, with some being lower and
some higher.
If theres no change in partici-
pation from 2012 to 2013, then
those fees would generate rough-
ly 13 percent more in 2013 than we
did in 2012, he said.
Groeger described how an an-
nual 13 percent increase for five
years was the best of three op-
tions he and Krawczun devised to
allow the recreation department
to stand on its own feet.
The other options were to pri-
vatize everything where some-
body would pay us a portion of
the proceeds and they would run
the programs; or, not to go to a 13
percent increase every year
somewhere lower than that but
to make up the difference, he
said. For example, if it was 7 per-
cent, that the additional 6 percent
that we wouldnt recover could
come from things such as corpo-
rate sponsors, donations, new
programs, or somebody that
would provide us with scholar-
ship funding. The idea would be
that there would be a bunch of
different ways to get to that zero
number.
Groeger couldnt pinpoint the
amount of expected revenue to be
generated from this increase be-
cause it will be driven by how
many people register for the pro-
grams, which change every year.
However, hes confident that the
new five-year plan being imple-
mented for the recreation depart-
ment will allow it to one day be
self-sufficient.
With these increases in fees,
along with a couple of other fu-
ture adjustments and changes to
come in 2013, Krawczun ex-
plained how there is still a decent
amount of work to be done to fig-
ure out exactly where Lawrence
stands budget-wise.
Were still working on appro-
priations and still looking at rev-
enues and results of operations
for 2012, he said. Its a very fluid
situation at this particular time
of the year, but it solidifies after
the first week or so in January
when we conduct our reconcilia-
tions.
Krawczun also added how he
expects replies from the bids put
out for the privatization of the
township's police dispatching by
Jan. 3, which could be another
cost-cutting measure to bridge
the budget gap.

T
here are all kinds of great rea-
sons to replace the $1 bill with a
$1 coin.
For example, the government says it
would save taxpayers billions of dol-
lars over the next several decades. And
who doesnt want to save billions of
tax dollars?
Vending companies, too, would like
to see the switch. Anyone who has
tried unsuccessfully to jam a dollar bill
into a machine that is, well, less than
perfect, understands the vending com-
panies sentiments.
The problem is that weve tried this
before, and it didnt end well. Remem-
ber, about a decade ago, the Sacagawea
coin? Before that, the Susan B. Antho-
ny? Before that? Well, there have been
dollar coins in the United States pretty
much since the Continental Congress
met.
Americans just dont seem to like
the $1 coin. Some complain that they
are too hard to distinguish from the
quarter. Others note that its much eas-
ier to cram 10 $1 bills into your wallet
than it is to carry 10 $1 coins in your
pocket.
Whatever the reason, Americans
have rejected a move to the $1 coin. Re-
peatedly and resoundly.
So lets forget about this idea and
focus on a few other monetary
thoughts that make more sense.
How about making $1 bills that last
longer than five years? That reduces
the need to pull old ones from circula-
tion and replace them with new ones.
And lets figure out a way to make
producing a penny cost less than a
penny, and make producing a nickel
cost less than a dime. Switch metals, or
just do away with them altogether. Es-
pecially the pennies. Not much you can
get for a penny these days.
But keep the $1 bill. At least for now.
At least until inflation puts it into the
category of the penny: not really worth
producing any longer.
in our opinion
The $1 coin
Havent we tried this already? And failed?
Dollar bill blues
Yes, removing the $1 bill from circula-
tion and replacing it with a $1 coin
would save tax dollars. Except, nobody
really wants to use $1 coins. Weve tried
to use them in the past, but society has
rejected them. So why bring up the
idea again?
PinnWorth Productions invites audi-
ences on a dramatic journey through
Stephen Sondheims Pulitzer Prize and
Tony Award-winning musical Sunday in
the Park with George at Mercer County
Community Colleges Kelsey Theatre.
Dates and times for this production are
Fridays, Jan. 11 and Jan. 18 at 8 p.m.; Satur-
days, Jan. 12 and Jan. 19 at 8 p.m.; and Sun-
days, Jan. 13 and Jan. 20 at 2 p.m. Kelsey
Theatre is located on the colleges West
Windsor campus at 1200 Old Trenton Road.
A reception with the cast and crew follows
the opening night performance on Jan. 11.
When her lover would rather paint dots
on a canvas than pay attention to her,
whats a gal to do? This visual and musical
masterpiece tells the story of post-Impres-
sionist George Seurat, and the creation of
his masterwork, A Sunday Afternoon on
the Island of La Grande Jatte. Loosely
based on the artists life, the story follows
the painters struggles between creating
art and living life. This deeply moving love
story between George and his mistress,
Dot, connects the past to the future
through passionate struggles both person-
al and universal.
Its a story of art, passion and choices we
make, told beautifully in the words and
music of Stephen Sondheim, director Lou J.
Stalsworth of Allentown said. While I dont
know which Im reacting to more Sond-
heims music or the story it tells Ive wanted
to do the show ever since I first saw it.
Stalsworth adds that audiences will be
thrilled with the visual effects in the
shows opening number, as sweeping
brushstrokes move across the stage in tan-
dem with the opening chords of the first
song, a concept originated by the British
company The Chocolate Factory four years
ago.
The effect is breathtaking, he said.
Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors,
and $14 for students and children. For tick-
ets, call the Kelsey Theatre Box Office at

JAN. 2-8, 2013 THE LAWRENCE SUN 7
To assist the new evaluation
process and alter the existing
teacher evaluation program,
Zuckerman detailed how LTPS is
going to be continuing its commu-
nity conversation, which began
in early 2012.
We have some discussion
groups that really stem from the
community conversation in Octo-
ber, and thats going to be contin-
uing with some community mem-
bers in January just to gather
feedback that we can use when
were evaluating our programs,
he said.
Zuckerman also explained how
the district is going to be con-
stantly evaluating programs that
are already in place at LTPS to en-
sure that theyre up-to-date.
LTPS is also going to be focus-
ing a lot of its energy on
Lawrence High School, according
to Zuckerman.
Were looking to increase the
amount of AP classes that are
being taught at the high school,
increase the number of virtual
classes that are being offered at
the high school, and further some
of other programs and connec-
tions that we have in the commu-
nity to allow our students to apply
their knowledge, he said. A lot
of it is expansion of whats al-
ready in place.
Aside from the new programs
and classes being implemented
this year, the LTPS is also moving
forward with the districts tech-
nology initiatives.
Right now, were evaluating
whether or not were going to con-
tinue to expand providing the de-
vices to students or whether or
not we should be moving in a di-
rection of Bring Your Own De-
vice (BYOD), Zuckerman said.
That means where students
would actually bring the device of
their choice cellphone, laptop or
whatever method works for them
to school and be given the oppor-
tunity to use them in their class-
rooms.
Zuckerman described how
LTPS currently provides net-
books to students in grades 6-9,
which will most likely expand to
other grades in the near future.
If we continue with the same
progression as identified in our
strategic plan, then we would con-
tinue to the 10th grade next year
[2013], he said. If, by chance, the
BYOD happens, as I think wed all
like it to, we may be able to pro-
vide that opportunity for the en-
tire high school, but were cer-
tainly taking very small steps in
making sure that we, at least,
have the proper protocol and in-
frastructure in place.
Because of the Newton, Conn.,
tragedy that happened in Decem-
ber 2012, which took the lives of
20 children at Sandy Hook Ele-
mentary School, Zuckerman de-
tailed how LTPS is handling the
situation in regard to tightening
existing security procedures.
We constantly review the pro-
cedures that are in place, and I
think especially after the very un-
fortunate situation that happened
in Connecticut, it certainly pro-
vides other opportunities for us
to go in and evaluate those proce-
dures, he said. The building ad-
ministrators reviewed them at
their level, and then the rest of
the district level evaluated the
procedures and got together just
to look at them to make sure
were doing everything that we
can to ensure the safety and secu-
rity of the students and the staff.
At the township level,
Lawrence Mayor Jim Kownacki
explained how there are no real
changes occurring in 2013 other
than his first experience with
Mercer Countys property reeval-
uation process in Lawrence.
The county will go around
and reevaluate all properties in
the township and then will get
back to us and explain everything
to management and council, he
said. Some places will go up and
others will go down, but mostly
likely, they will balance out.
Aside from the county evalua-
tion, Kownacki noted how the
council is working on taxes to
try and find better ways to meet
the tax cap and take the burden
off of the residents.
I dont know where the budget
is going yet, but I think were
doing a good job, and I just want
to continue that moving for-
ward, he said.
Kownacki also added how hes
unsure if the township is going to
privatize police dispatching serv-
ices or keep its small unit of dis-
patchers, which will be deter-
mined shortly after the township
receives the bids on Jan. 3.
Other than that, were not
changing anything, he said.
Everything is in order right
now.
