Length
of mayors
term wont
change
By HEATHER FIORE
The Sun
At the recommendation of one
of its members, the Lawrence
Township Council considered
changing the length of the town-
ships mayoral term from two
years to one year, a request that
was denied at a recent council
meeting.
The appeal was made by Coun-
cilman Mike Powers, who was on
the Township Council two years
ago when this issue was first
brought up for discussion by for-
mer Councilman Bob Bostock.
At that time, it was anticipated
by changing the mayors term, it
would strengthen the mayors re-
lationship with state officials and
it would provide the mayor suffi-
cient time to carry out the
mayors agenda, Powers said.
Now, we have a majority of new
council members, and I thought it
would be appropriate to re-evalu-
ate that.
Mayor Jim Kownacki, who will
carry out his second consecutive
term come 2014, said various

Ninety percent of American
schools dont teach computer sci-
ence. Fewer students are learning
how computers work than a
decade ago. Girls and minorities
are severely underrepresented.
And yet, technology is increasing-
ly shaping almost every aspect of
how we live our lives.
Thats why every one of the
students at St. Ann School joined
in on the largest education event
in history: The Hour of Code.
During Computer Science Educa-
tion Week (Dec. 9-15), every stu-
dent from kindergarten through
eighth grade spent one hour
learning computer science, doing
online tutorials featuring Bill
Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and

Senior Webelos from Cub Scout
Pack No. 28 joined Boy Scouts
from BSA Troop No. 28 on a day-
long adventure on Nov. 23 to Sun-
fish Pond at Worthington State
Forest in Delaware Water Gap.
The Sr. Webelos have been work-
ing on hiking techniques, camp-
ing skills and other requirements
to earn the Arrow of Light, the
highest award that can be at-
tained by a Cub Scout. One re-
quirement involves participation
in a Boy Scout activity.
The Webelos were introduced
to Boy Scout cooking and camp-
ing activities at this event. The
hike to Sunfish Pond from the
campsite is strenuous, but the
Webelos conquered the hike with
the help of the troop. They also
learned local facts about the pond
and wildlife in the area from the
Scouts. Some of the Webelos
stayed the night to brave the
wind, snow, and cold as the
weather front moved through and
saw a Sunday morning tempera-
ture of 19 degrees and a wind
chill of 6 degrees.
Its not an easy transition
from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts,

local and state officials hes worked with
over the last two years have applauded
Lawrences effort to extend the mayoral
term.
Its been a real honor to serve and to
meet all these state officials, get to talk to
them and attend meetings with them
whether its state, county or other munici-
palities, he said. Some of the meetings I
couldnt make and had to have representa-
tives there for me because, at the time, I
still worked. But, I made most of the ones
that I could make, and all of the ones that I
ever made talked about never going back
to the one-year term. They were glad that
Lawrence stepped up and went to a two-
year mayoral term. They felt the communi-
cations with Lawrence right now are bet-
ter than ever. They didnt feel that they had
to wait for responses to anything.
Kownacki said he hasnt heard one neg-
ative thing about Lawrence transitioning
to a two-year mayoral term because other
government officials felt it was the best
thing Lawrence couldve done.
Under the Faulkner Act, the township
couldve voted to appoint a mayoral term
of one year, two years or four years, and
Kownacki thinks the township made the
right move changing it to a two-year term.
When we voted on this two years ago,
we voted to go with it; to try to compare
what happened over these past two years,
no matter who would be sitting in this seat
as mayor, would face the same challenges,
he said. Maybe some wouldve been han-
dled a little differently, but we wouldve
still had the same challenges we had,
whether it was about taxes, bulk trash or
traffic lights the person wouldve still
faced the same problem.
Powers said one year should be enough
time to carry out a mayoral agenda, since
the mayor essentially serves as a ceremo-
nial position in the townships manager-
council form of government, but Kownac-
ki disagreed.
I dont think we gave it enough time for
it to work, Kownacki said. I feel like we
should continue with the two-year mayoral
term. I feel it will improve, and I do believe
well get more from the state, county and
other townships because well be coming
together even that much more.
Council members Cathleen Lewis and
Stephen Brame voiced their support of
keeping the two-year mayoral term, along
with Kownacki.
I was not on council when this was
voted on, but I wholeheartedly supported it
as a citizen because I have seen from the
other side, when I worked for state govern-
ment, the importance of creating those
strong relationships and the importance of
that consistency, Lewis said. Ive also
seen over the last two years the impor-
tance of that consistency from a residents
standpoint. I think that weve had a num-
ber of challenges that are going to contin-
ue to be challenges; the rules of the game
have changed over the last few years, par-
ticularly when it comes to how we collect
revenue and how were able to budget.
I think that its important that resi-
H
ow many times have you seen
it: People driving around town
throwing caution to the wind,
as if they were on a NASCAR track?
Youd think someone was giving away
free hundred dollar bills.
Do they not know we have children
walking around town? Do they not
care about the safety of other mo-
torists? Do they not care about their
own safety?
Seems like today, everyone is in a
rush at all times; it seems like its get-
ting worse with each passing year.
Somehow, by some miracle, New Jer-
sey drivers arent the worst in the na-
tion, at least according to an annual
study recently released by CarInsur-
anceComparison.com. In fact, were
only the 32nd worst state-full of driv-
ers. If were only middle of the pack,
wed hate to be on the road in
Louisiana, whose drivers were collec-
tively ranked as the worst in the na-
tion.
Even though were not as bad as
some of our American brethren, its
worth repeating: Slow down out there!
Nothing can be of such importance
that you need to speed and drive errati-
cally...every time you drive! Its just not
possible that your wife is giving birth
for the fifth time this week.
Our children are walking our
streets. Our elderly are still behind the
wheel. And our ready, willing and able
are out on the roads, trying to get to or
from a New Years celebration.
Lets make sure everyone gets where
theyre going safely. Lets all share the
road with each other, and lets stop
being such maniacs even if were not
the worst.
in our opinion
Slow down out there
Use caution when driving on the roads, especially this time of year
Your thoughts
How bad is the driving out there? How can
we get better? Should more regulations
be put on New Jersey drivers to improve
safety? Let your thoughts be heard
through a letter to the editor.

Music filled the air at
Lawrenceville Elementary School
on Friday, Dec. 13 for the annual
winter holiday concert under the
direction of LES new Music Di-
rector Daniel Beal.
Children in grades one, two
and three performed musical se-
lections based on the theme of
We Wish You Peace. Festive
toe-tapping songs focusing on
unity, peace and spreading joy
were featured, reinforcing the
schools character education mis-
sion. Featured songs were per-
formed in four different lan-
guages, Spanish, Hebrew, Swahili
and English.
The stage was adorned with
holiday decorations with musical
notes and doves, created by the
children and Maria Raimondo,
art specialist. Ed Francis, physi-
cal education specialist, directed
the lighting and sound.
Beal provided the accompani-
ment on the piano while the chil-
dren sang, danced and played
rhythm instruments and chimes.
Being Still, an exhibit of
paintings by local artist, S.L.
Baker, will be shown at the
Lawrence Headquarters
Branch of the Mercer County
Library through Dec. 31. The
paintings are a confluence of
Buddhist thought, social and fa-
milial concern. Working mostly
in acrylic on canvas and using
fingers instead of brushes, the
paintings are often influenced
by meditation practice.
Born in Princeton, Baker is a
lifelong resident of the area and
a retired New Jersey public
school teacher. She lives in
Lawrenceville with her hus-
band, who is a professional mu-
sician and songwriter. Baker is
also a published poet and lyri-
cist.
Bakers work is on display in
the East Lobby Gallery at the
Lawrence Headquarters
Branch of the Mercer County
Library. The exhibit is open to
the public during the librarys
open hours. The library is locat-
ed at 2751 Brunswick Pike
(Business Route One) in

Susan and Bruce Roeloffs opened
their Crown Trophy of Mercerville
store at 3257 Quakerbridge Road in
Mercerville in March of 2007. The
store is part of the Crown Trophy
franchise system and is family owned
and operated with Susan and son
Matt running the operation full-time
with occasional help from husband
Bruce. Terry Moon and Victoria Kier-
nan are two of their employees that
embody Susans passion for putting
the customer first.
We do everything possible to en-
sure the customer gets what they
want, when they want it, at a fair
price, noted Susan. If the customer
isnt happy, neither are we.
Proof of that came in 2008 and
2011 when Crown Trophy of Mer-
cerville won the prestigious Sales
Achievement Award from Crowns
Corporate Headquarters at their an-
nual summer meeting. Crown Tro-
phy Founder and President Chuck
Weisenfeld said, I love the Mer-
cerville store. Susan and her team are
doing an excellent job representing
Crown and have been active in the
community as well. I love that they
give back, many local businesses
dont do that anymore. I am glad to
have them be a part of the Crown
Franchise Family. They even com-
pleted our exhaustive Crown Trophy
training program and achieved the
Certified Recognition Advisor (CRA)
designation from us which not every
store can say.
Crown Trophy of Merceville has
also received awards from the Rob-
binsville Education Foundation and
received resolutions recognizing
their business from Senator Green-
stein and Assemblymen Benson and
DeAngelo. Crown Trophy of Mer-
cerville specializes not only in tro-
phies but also plaques, medals, rib-
bons, silkscreened and embroidered
apparel, signs and banners, promo-
tional products, corporate awards,
golf outing packages and much more.
One source of pride for Susan and
Matt is the Crown Trophy Student/Ath-
lete of the Month program which is
available to all area high schools as a
free service. With this program
schools can select one student and
one female and male athlete each
month to be recognized for their per-
formance in the classroom and in
their chosen sport.
Many schools have had to cut
back on their awards programs to
their students and athletes, so we felt
the need to pick up the ball and run
with it for them. It is a great way for
the schools to recognize their stu-
dents and we provide the service at
no cost to the schools. said Roeloffs.
Any area high school interested in the
Student/Athlete of the Month pro-
gram is urged to contact the store for
more information about the program.
When asked why Susan considers
her store the Best kept secret in Mer-
cerville she replied. The funny
thing about our business is that peo-
ple dont really look for us until they
need us. Dont let the name fool you

dents have the consistency that
they know who their mayor is,
that that mayor has the time to
put forth a vision and to respond
to those challenges and be able to
see it through, or at least have a
seamless transition and I think
that one year is never enough
time to complete something in
government and certainly not
foresee its transition, Lewis
said.
Brame argued that it would set
a bad precedent for the township
to change back to a one-year term
after just switching to a two-year
term in 2011.
We have done the right thing
to opt to a two-year term, he
said.
The proposal was rejected by a
3-2 vote. Brame, Lewis and Kow-
nacki voted against changing the
term, and Powers and Dr. David
Maffei voted in favor of changing
the term.

The Hour of Code is a cam-
paign to prove that regardless of
age, race or gender, anyone can
learn how to not just consume,
but build the technologies of the
future. St. Ann School has been
using coding with in its curricu-
lum for the last 12 years.
St. Anns students were among
more than 2 million who planned
one Hour of Code during Dec. 9-15
worldwide. This movement, or-
ganized by Code.org and support-
ed by Apple, Google, Microsoft,
Amazon, Boys & Girls Clubs of
America, and more than 100 oth-
ers, is a statement that todays
generation of students are ready
to learn critical skills for 21st cen-
tury success.

Troop No. 28 is open to boys

Scouts have to show proficiency
in a skill to an older Scout or
adult Scout leader to advance;
whereas in Cub Scouts, only
parental approval is necessary.
Secondly, a lot of patience is nec-
essary from the adult perspective,
since Boy Scouts follows the boy-
led philosophy of Lord Baden-
Powell. This means the Scouts
take on the responsibility of plan-
ning the activities, from Troop
meetings and outings to fundrais-
ing and service projects. While
this is done under the supervi-
sion of adults, it is a learning
process for the Scouts. Oversights
and blunders do occur, but the
Scouts manage to turn these mis-
takes into fun activities.
Troop No. 28 is open to boys
who have completed fifth grade,
and meets Friday nights from 7:30
p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Troop Hut at
Lawrence Road Presbyterian
Church. For more information,

LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW
By NICK COHEN
The Sun
The Cardinals of Lawrence High
School nearly soared to new heights
last season. And for the boys basket-
ball team, that means this season is
all about reaching that next level.
Lawrences victory in the Central
Jersey Group III title game last year
gave the school its first sectional
crown since 1998-99, a season when
the Cardinals went all the way to
the state final before losing in the
final seconds to Parsippany. Last
seasons team had its Cinderella run
end against Camden High School in
the Group III semifinals. Not bad for
a head coach in his first season.
That was one of those special
teams, they left a special mark. State
tournament basketball is still state
tournament basketball, Jeff Mo-
linelli said. Basketball has always
been my most favorite thing in my
life. Just making that run with
those guys really brought that fire
back to the state tournament for me.
It made me realize again what its
all about. Its really a special thing.
Molinelli was a standout in his
own right during his time at
Hopewell Valley Central High

Coach: Team is focused
on matching, exceeding
previous accomplishments
School. He was a four-year varsity
player, member of the 1,000 point
club and during his senior season
garnered Most Valuable Player
honors at the inaugural John Mo-
linelli Holiday Tournament,
named for his late father. Despite
being a Bulldog, Molinelli said
hes always had a close relation-
ship with Lawrence.
Lawrence has always been
like a second home to me, Mo-
linelli said. I still have great
friends that I grew up with.
Going to the elementary school, I
still know a ton of the teachers.
Im really happy to be a part of
it.
The Cardinals philosophy is
not a groundbreaking one. Mo-
linelli said his team focuses on ef-
fort on both ends of the floor and
keeping the level of intensity
high.
Overall Im very proud of our
progress, and it was a dream
come true run in the state tourna-
ment, which was a great feeling,
Molinelli said. The turnaround
has been because of all the hard
work the kids put forth. Our staff
preached about buying into
the system, and as new coaches
that takes time. Once the players
realized that the system works
and they can win, then they take
their game to another level of
play.
With last years surprise sea-
son in the rearview mirror, Mo-
linelli said this years team is fo-
cused on matching and exceeding
previous accomplishments.
They came in ready to work
hard and thats what you want to
see, Molinelli said. The effort
needs to be there first if there are
going to be accolades in the fu-
ture.
