Residents started
GEPNA group to help
preserve neighborhood
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
Eight years ago, concerned res-
idents rallied to address an im-
portant issue in the township
dealing with the former gas sta-
tion, the Pit Stop.
That issue ultimately resulted
in the creation of the Greater El-
dridge Park Neighborhood Asso-
ciation, an organization that has
been dedicated to preserving the
character of the neighborhood.
In 2005, residents in the El-
dridge Park area of the township
a small neighborhood along
Route 206 behind McGrath Phar-
macy and Tastee Sub Shop
joined to address the main prob-
lem with the Pit Stop, its soil and
groundwater contamination,
which was affecting the neigh-
boring residents.
The neighbors got together
and started to think about what
we could do about it, so we start-
ed this organization to rally
against that and get some action
to clean it up, said Tahirih
Smith, founder and chair of
GEPNA.
The residents in GEPNA got
the state Department of Environ-
mental Protection involved to
conduct a remedial investigation
of the Pit Stop, and the issue has
been ongoing since.
Since then, GEPNA has grown
into a larger organization, con-
sisting of more than 40 residents
who work to preserve and pro-
mote business and community

BRIEFS
AUGUST 14-20, 2013 THE LAWRENCE SUN 5
GEPNA has been
beautifying Eldridge
Park for past 5 years
life by enhancing the diversity, vi-
tality, beauty, history, economic
development and unity of our
neighborhood.
It grew out of that effort to
more of our beautification and
preservation of the quality of the
neighborhood, Smith said.
Eldridge Park is one of the
oldest neighborhoods in town. It
used to be all farms and has mor-
phed into a working-class neigh-
borhood, so we really want to pre-
serve that history and share it
with people.
Although attempts to desig-
nate the neighborhood as an offi-
cial historic district failed,
GEPNAs focus has grown to in-
corporate improving the quality
of the neighborhoods local busi-
nesses, as well as the preserva-
tion of the neighborhoods quali-
ty and character.
At the township councils July
16 meeting, Smith and a couple
other board members from
GEPNA approached the council
to request help with one of its
current initiatives, which has to
do with signage around town.
For the last five years, GEPNA
has been beautifying Eldridge
Park by adorning Route 206 with
planters filled with seasonal
plants, which have been partially
provided by grants from the
Lawrence Township Community
Foundation and local nurseries.
Now, the organizations intent
is to place banners on the various
light posts with the organiza-
tions name and mission so peo-
ple are more aware of what they
do, Smith said.
We have a pretty strict sign
ordinance in town, so we need
permission from the township to
install banners, which is why we
approached the council, she
said.
Another issue GEPNA brought
to the councils attention is the

N
ew Jersey is a gambling state.
Always has been even before
Resorts International opened
its doors as the first legal casino in At-
lantic City in 1978.
Weve had gambling politicians,
gambling speak-easy owners and gam-
bling residents from the beginning.
We embrace the culture.
Atlantic City, to us, isnt some for-
bidden place where only degenerates
and low-lifes go to satiate a fix. Its a
place where adults, young and old, go
to stay and play.
Casinos are part of our upbringing.
Whether we frequent them or not,
theyre always in our minds. They
highlight the skyline of the coast and
hog a significant portion of our news.
So its no surprise that New Jersey
wants more.
This year, gaming in the state will
enter a new dimension when a ban on
internet gambling is lifted. 888 Hold-
ings, a London-based gaming compa-
ny, will provide its technology to Cae-
sars Interactive Entertainment and
will also launch operations under its
own brand later this year.
The company is doing the same in
Nevada and Delaware, two states,
which maybe not coincidentally
have the other thing that New Jersey
wants: Sports gambling.
Just last week, Congressmen Frank
LoBiondo and Frank Pallone hit the
campaign trail for sports gambling
in Atlantic City, professing the need
for two bills they re-introduced in Feb-
ruary.
Theres a federal ban on the practice
in states not named Nevada, Delaware,
Oregon and Montana, but these legis-
lators and others in the state are
hoping to overturn that law. The Third
Circuit Court of Appeals is currently
hearing an appeal regarding it.
Legal and gaming experts say they
feel fairly certain that, at some point,
the federal law will be overturned and
sports betting will be legal in New Jer-
sey.
And we cant wait for that day. Not
because we want to place a sports bet
legally at a window in Atlantic City,
exactly, but because it will finally help
end the hypocrisy around the discus-
sion. Millions, maybe even billions, of
dollars are being bet on sports in this
country every year, most of it illegally.
Why its OK to do so in Nevada, or as
close as Delaware, and not New Jersey,
is beyond our comprehension.
If we can have casinos that are high-
ly regulated by an independent agency,
why cant we also have betting on
sports? Its a practice that makes sense
to legalize, tax and control.
Ready to gamble (some more)
Now is not the time for New Jersey to fold em in fight for more gambling

expansion of gambling offerings in New
Jersey? Share your views with the rest

37th annual Apple Festival Sept. 14-15
Autumn is the season for crisp, sweet ap-
ples. Here at Terhune Orchards we cele-
brate this fabulous time of year with fun
for the whole family at our two-day Apple
Festival. Our 37th annual festival will be
held Sept. 14 and Sept. 15 from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. We will continue the celebration with
fall festival weekends through October.

dwarf trees, take a tractor-drawn wagon
ride, enjoy live music Saturday and Sunday
from the Daisy Jug Band (returning for the
32nd year), visit our adventure barn, walk
the farm trail and enjoy farm fresh snacks
and homemade lunch. Plenty of activities
for kids, including face painting, pumpkin
painting, pony rides, make-your-own scare-
crows and our popular cornstalk maze.
You can pick your own apples at our Cold
Soil Road farm and our Van Kirk farm on
Apple Day. Autumn also brings pumpkins,
and you can pick your own at the Terhune
home farm. Make sure to bring an appetite.
At Pams down-home food tent we will be
roasting a pig for pork sandwiches, and you
will also find barbecued chicken, hot dogs,
homemade salads and soup for sale. Satisfy
your cravings for dishes made with apples.
We will have apple pies, apple muffins,
apple bread, cider doughnuts and apple-
sauce, and you can quench your thirst with
cold cups of our own Terhune apple cider.
Take pictures at the farm and enter them
in our Terhune Orchards photo contest. En-
tries are due Oct. 1. For complete rules and
entry information stop by the farm store or
visit terhuneorchards.com.

winery tasting room, and Van Kirk pick
your own. Admission to the festival area is
$5. Children 3 and under receive free admis-
sion. Parking on the farm is free. There is

ask advice from other mothers
and daughters and share stories
and experiences related to their
own lives.
The group specifically focuses
on increasing understanding of
the impact of child sexual abuse
on girls behaviors; enhancing in-
tergenerational communication,
empathy and bonding; increasing
assertiveness skills; and helping
parents communicate about is-
sues of sex and sexuality.
The women in the group are
among the 260 child victims of
sexual abuse and 353 supportive
family members that PEI Kids
counseled in 2012.
At the event, the ACF also pre-
sented PEI Kids with a $5,000 do-
nation to support its Crisis Inter-
vention for Child Victims of Sex-
ual Abuse program, which pro-
vides counseling services to child
victims and their family mem-
bers.
The makeover seemed to be the
perfect fit for this group of PEI
Kids clients, and was organized
by Jenny Childs, independent
consultant and executive vice
president of ACF, Ettinger said.
The Crisis Intervention pro-
gram does so much to empower
children at a traumatic time in
their innocent lives, helping them
regain their sense of self and
hope for the future. We are proud
to support it, Childs said.
PEI Kids currently serves ap-
proximately 16,000 children and
their families each year. For the
past 28 years, its mission has been
dedicated to promoting and main-
taining a safe environment for all
children.
The Mercer County Prosecu-
tors Office refers all child sexual
abuse victims to PEI Kids, which
is currently the lead agency of
the Greater Mercer Coalition to
Prevent Child Abuse.

T
rinceton students found a
million dollar consulting
start-up with a 90 percent
admit rate to top schools.
ThinkIvy is an exciting new con-
sulting company started by a group
of Princeton and Harvard under-
graduates less than six months ago.
It specializes in one thing: helping
high school students get admitted to
their top colleges.
There are several things about
ThinkIvy that make it different from the
typical college counseling company.
For one point, ThinkIvy does a lot
more. It guides applicants through
the entire application process. From
day one of freshman year, ThinkIvy
works with students to build a clear
plan on amassing the academic and
extracurricular credentials that will
distinguish them among top admis-
sion committees. This includes
informing students on grades and
test scores they need to earn, and
referring them to supplemental
tutoring if necessary. More signifi-
cantly, it means connecting students
with prestigious research intern-
ships, national math/science competi-
tions, and top summer programs
and nonprofit opportunities
that will burnish their
credentials.
Furthermore, ThinkIvy
is run entirely by Ivy
League students who
were admitted to at
least three Ivy
League or top
10 U.S. universi-
ties. The coun-
sel given at
ThinkIvy will
always be the
most competi-
tive, relevant, and up-to-date.
Counselors at other companies are
often 20-30 years removed from the
admission process.
ThinkIvys decentralized approach
of contracting Ivy
undergraduates
to handle a maximum of five stu-
dents at a time also means it devotes
substantially more time and energy
to its students. Whereas the typical
college consultant typically spends
no more than five hours editing an
application, ThinkIvy consultants
spend 100-plus hours on each stu-
dent.
A great example of the total com-
prehensiveness of ThinkIvys servic-
es can be seen in a ThinkIvy student
waitlisted by Duke University this
year.
Upon hearing of the students
waitlist status, founding partner
Mitchell Ng personally called the
student past midnight and devel-
oped a four-step action plan,
which included both personally
editing the students letter of
interest to Duke and tips for call-
ing the regional admissions offi-
cer. The plan worked, and the final
letter produced was so eloquently
cogent the student was admitted
from a waitlist of thousands three
days later.
Apart from superior services,
ThinkIvy offers lower costs and
accountability.
Unlike any college consulting com-
pany in the country, ThinkIvy offers a
100% money-back guarantee of
admission to the nations Ivy League
and elite universities for those stu-
dents purchasing its guaranteed
package. If a student is not admitted
to a list of eight top universities of
the students choosing, all services
rendered are free.
ThinkIvys placement record
allows it to make such a confident
and bold guarantee. All of ThinkIvys
students were admitted to one of

their top five choices, and 90% were
admitted to one of their top three
choices. 90% of ThinkIvys students
matriculated at an Ivy League or top
20 U.S. university.
For these impressive results,
ThinkIvy charges rates about a third
those charged by the average con-
sulting company. Costs vary for indi-
vidual cases, but the average student
in ThinkIvys program pays $3,500 for
a full package including resume build-
ing and application writing. The typi-

charges around $9,000 for consult-
ing that entails college application
editing and little else.
Ng, who was a freshman at
Princeton when he founded ThinkIvy,
and has since founded two other mul-
timillion companies in
internet social media
and medical prosthetics,
agrees.
The bottom line is
better services at lower
cost, says Ng, and the
marketplace does the
rest. That is why we
have grown so quickly
and will continue to
grow.
Ng concludes, More
than anything else, I
founded this company for the cus-
tomer, not for the company. This is
really the basis of the companies that
succeed the most.

GEPNA receives $2,500 grant from
township community foundation
new Willis Greenhouse initiative.
A local Lawrence resident recent-
ly rented one of the companys
greenhouses that it no longer
uses to start growing food.
We see that as a positive step
in keeping this local business
thriving and hopefully we want to
expand it so this new young man
can actually make a business out
of growing local produce in the
greenhouse, Smith said. He al-
ready requested a grant from Rut-
gers University to help him re-
store that greenhouse. Were very
excited for that possibility, and
want to support an integrated
business, which we could ulti-
mately turn into a community
garden.
GEPNA also hopes to improve
trash collection and recycling,
Smith said.
Were working on getting
more trash pick-up/recycling for
the area, she said. Right now,
theres a small group of local
neighbors that go walking, pick-
ing up garbage along Route 206s
corridor in the Eldridge Park
neighborhood every week. We
would like for council to see if
they can get more trash cans or
make them more visible so people
will use them.
Aside from its current initia-
tives, GEPNA has already made a
difference in the community, es-
pecially in regard to the
Lawrence Nature Center.
We aided the Lawrence Na-
ture Center to get a grant in
March to start the conception of
their deck in the back of building,
which is under construction now,
and is being built by volunteers,
Smith said. They needed extra
money to do it, and we helped
them write a grant to get them
started. They got a $2,500 grant
from Lawrence Township Com-
munity Foundation.
GEPNA holds monthly meet-
ings at one of its local businesses,
with dinner at 7 p.m., followed by
the meeting at 7:30 p.m. Meetings
are held on the second Monday of
each month and are open to the
public. The next meeting will be
held in September.
For more information about
GEPNA and its efforts, go to
gepna.org.
Anyone interested in joining
GEPNA should email secretary
Joseph Cermele at
