Soccer team
ready for season
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
As various school sports for the
fall season commence, student
athletes all over Lawrence begin
to acclimate to practice and game
schedules once again.
One team in particular
Lawrence High Schools (LHS)
varsity boys soccer team, the
Lions is welcoming a new coach
this year, who is ready to train,
play and win.
Brian Rostron, who was for-
merly the junior varsity (JV) soc-
cer coach for eight years, replaced
varsity coach PJ Barrett this year
since he took the role of vice prin-
cipal.
Growing up as the son of a
local soccer player, Rostron began
shadowing a soccer ball on the
field at a young age, and has kept
a strong connection to the sport
since he was in high school him-
self.
I grew up in Hamilton and
played at West so I am pretty fa-
miliar with Lawrence's rich soc-
cer history and tradition of good
teams, players and coaches, he
said. I've been a youth coach
since I was 15 years old, so you
could say its definitely in my
blood to play and coach.
With his new position in full
swing, Rostron is especially look-
ing to improve The Lions 8-8
record from last year.
I am excited for the season,
he said. With it being my first
year and having a good group of
soccer players, I hope to finish
above .500 and win at least one
game in the state tournament.
Even if we don't, but every player
ends the season better than they
started and had fun, then its still
successful.
Although the season only start-
ed about a month ago, Rostron
has been prepping the boys since
August and is optimistic about
this year.
We have been playing a lot of
soccer during the preseason, and
our training sessions have been
very competitive, he said. We
are still focusing on playing to
our strengths, trying to limit our
mistakes, and playing strong for
80 minutes. Things are looking
good this year, but its still early.
Although Rostron has a lot on
his plate this year as the new
coach and new leader, he has help
from a variety of people, includ-
ing Assistant Coach Michael Un-
derwood, JV/varsity Assistant

Bidding for police dispatching
services met with opposition
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
At Lawrence Townships coun-
cil meeting on Sept. 18, township
employees and residents crowded
the courtroom and voiced their
opposition to the townships ef-
forts to gain savings by bidding
for police dispatching services
through competitive contracting.
Township Manager Richard
Krawczun introduced the idea of
competitive contracting for these
services, along with EMT servic-
es, to the council at the town-
ships last meeting on Sept. 4.
He explained how competitive
contracting, which is used in lieu
of public bidding, is a process
that can potentially save the tax-
payers of Lawrence Township
money.
However, he also stated that
any potential savings that are re-
ceived through the use of compet-
itive contracting would not be
able to alleviate the $725,000 budg-
et gap the township currently has
because of the way the cap law is
devised.
The majority of Lawrence
Townships seven police dispatch-
ers attended the meeting, and
were visibly angered and upset
about the status of their jobs.
Vice president of Local Union
No. 2257 (the union that repre-
sents the white-collar workers for
Lawrence) and 10-year dispatcher
for Lawrence Township Susan
Handelman explained how Kraw-
czun approached her union and
informed them that it was their
responsibility to find $350,000 in
order to save their jobs, which she
and the other dispatchers ex-
pressed to be the townships prob-
lem and not theirs.
The only way possible for us
to work would be for us to work
for free, give up our benefits, and
forgo our pension contributions,
she said. I wonder if any of you
would do that? I dont think so.
And Im also not quite sure why
we were told that we need to fig-
ure where that $350,000 should
come from.
In response, Krawczun detailed
each of the meetings he held with
the dispatchers, and explained
how the employees have been in-
volved in the entire process and
were given ample notice of all ac-
tions taken thus far.
I went to the employees and to

NAMI Mercer NJ, an affiliate
of the National Alliance on Men-
tal Illness, will kick off Mental Ill-
ness Awareness Week (MIAW) by
hosting its fourth annual Harvest
of Hope Wellness Conference on
Saturday, Oct. 6 from 8:30 a.m. to 3
p.m. at the Presbyterian Church
of Lawrenceville. Throughout the
observance period from Oct. 7 to
Oct. 13, NAMI Mercer will con-
duct educational and anti-stigma
activities around the county.
In 1990, the U.S. Congress desig-
nated the first full week of Octo-
ber as MIAW. Since then, all levels
of NAMI national, state and
local have intensified their out-
reach efforts during this time. In
Mercer County this year, more
than 80 churches and synagogues
will observe MIAW by offering
special prayers for persons affect-
ed by mental illness.
On Wednesday, Oct. 10, from 5
to 6:30 p.m., NAMI Mercer will
present In Our Own Voice
(IOOV) at the Lawrence Public Li-
brary, 2751 Brunswick Pike
(Route 1), Lawrenceville. IOOV is
a unique public education pro-
gram, developed by NAMI, in
which two trained volunteers
share compelling personal stories
about living with mental illness
and achieving recovery. This
presentation is open to the public.

The next Lawrence Ewing
Trenton Girl Scouts open house
will be held on Monday, Oct. 1,
from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Ewing
Branch of the Mercer County Li-
brary. The last open house is
Tuesday, Oct. 2, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
at the Lawrence Branch of the
Mercer County Library.
As a Girl Scout, a girl grows in
an environment that will nurture
her creativity and intellect, pro-
viding both encouragement and
resources to develop life skills
and follow her dreams. She will
have the opportunity to share ex-
periences with other girls and
form long-lasting friendships.
She will visit exciting places,
learn new things, and participate
in fun activities. In addition, Girl
Scouting gives a girl added sup-
port to build her self-confidence,
helping her become a resourceful
young woman. Just like we have
for the past 100 years, many Girl
Scouts meet in traditional troops.
Others experience Girl Scouting
through local ZIP Troops and in-
dependent scouting. Our pro-
grams begin with Daisy Girl
Scouts in kindergarten right
through Ambassadors as 12th
graders!

G
ov. Christies long list of ethics
reforms has a fair number
that simply make sense. Prob-
lem is, state politicians cant get past
the politics to enact them.
The governor, in his usual over-the-
top fashion, recently released a list of
reforms that, he says, have been sitting
around Trenton longer than the movie
Titanic was in theaters. And thats a
shame, because some of these reforms
should be no-brainers.
The list includes:
A ban on dual office-holding. One po-
litical office is enough.
A ban on dual employment for all
state county and local officials and em-
ployees. Again, one government job in
New Jersey is enough.
Pension forfeiture for public officials
convicted of crimes that involve or
touch upon the public office. OK, if
you steal from the government, you
dont get your government pension.
That, too, makes a lot of sense.
A rule that prohibits the use of cam-
paign funds for criminal defense costs.
Thats pretty much self-explanatory,
too. Were guessing donors had other
things in mind when they wrote
checks other than helping out their fa-
vorite, yet criminally accused, candi-
date for public office.
These are just a few of the measures
the governor says have been hanging
around Trenton for hundreds of days.
The question is: Why? Who is opposed
to these ideas? Or, more likely, what
other politically charged ideas are
these tied to, which, effectively, kill the
chance of these measures getting en-
acted?
People are tired of talk. They want
action. Christie and the Democrats
have shown in the past that they can
work together and make reasonable
compromises. Education reform is a
good example.
Wed like to see the same approach
here. Pick the reform issues that every-
one can agree upon. Pass them. And
then go back to argue the ones that
arent so clear.
in our opinion
Ethics reform or politics?
A lot of common-sense reforms are just sitting in place
Ethics reform
Wed like to see the governor and
Democrats come together on some
common-sense ethics measures that
have been sitting around for far too
long.

their union rep before the resolu-
tion was even adopted, he said.
That gives them 20 days notice;
we went well above and beyond.
Krawczun further explained
how he held two separate meet-
ings with the union to discuss al-
ternatives, including opening
their contract and increasing con-
tributions for health benefits and
considering a wage giveback on
the cost of the living increase for
the next year, both of which
would generate only about $35,000
in savings.
Councilwoman Cathleen Lewis
revisited the idea of consolida-
tion, and asked Krawczun
whether discussions have been
held about that option.
If there was to be consolida-
tion, both civil service and non-
civil service employees get the
protection as if they were civil
service employees, including sen-
iority, Krawczun said. So, as
much as our dispatchers may be
proponents of consolidation, it
would clearly be that all of our
dispatchers would not remain
employees after a consolidation
due to the fact that we may have
dispatchers that dont have that
much seniority. And under a con-
solidation, with that lack of sen-
iority, they would be treated ac-
cordingly.
Along with Handelman, two
additional police dispatchers de-
scribed their concern about pri-
vatization and how it will nega-
tively affect the township and
cause a plethora of problems.
We know the streets. We know
the people. We know the culture,
15-year dispatcher Ellen Marie
McGinley said. We have been
trained, retrained and recertified
in police procedures, policies and
CPR. We care about the residents
because they are our friends, they
are our neighbors, and they are
our families.
If a private company comes in,
will their responses be as fast or
as caring as those who already
live and work here? Sure, they
can be trained in the computer
systems and the policies, but they
are not already an integral part of
Lawrence Township.
Senior Communications Offi-
cer and 17-year dispatcher Crystal
Simsack echoed Handelman and
McGinleys comments, and rein-
forced the privatization will only
make things more complicated.
You cannot replace our expe-
rience, she said. Ive been here
a long time, so Ive seen them
come and go, and thats whats
going to happen with privatiza-
tion.
Along with the dispatchers,
concerned residents also articu-
lated their apprehension about
competitive contracting, includ-
ing Lawrence resident and
teacher Stephanie Barinowski,
who spoke about the potential
vendor that Lawrence Township
is currently speaking with.
The same company that you
are thinking about using to priva-
tize these dispatchers is running
in Georgia, and as of 2011, there
are 51 complaints about this com-
pany and 21 of them are substan-
tiated, she said. So, you are will-
ingly comprising the future of
our mothers, our brothers, our
sisters.
Aside from suggestions of pri-
vatizing the trash collection in-
stead of dispatching, Barinowski
proposed privatizing public works.
Frankly, Id rather have an
under-qualified person sweep the
streets than answering the phone
calls for emergency situations,
she said. Youre really sacrific-
ing quality for money.
Despite the points that each of
the dispatchers and residents
made, the council passed the reso-
lution, which now authorizes the
use of competitive contracting for
the providing of emergency dis-
patch services.
Krawczun also stated how the
council is also looking into the
EMT services, which is the other
service being considered for com-
petitive contracting.
Right now, I am working on a
couple of items with the EMTs
with their union and the employ-
ees, and we are waiting for the
outcome of that, but that will be
known by the first couple of days
in October, he said.
Councilman Michael Powers
asked Krawczun what the dis-
patching employees could do in
regard to their participation in
the competitive contracting
process to attempt and keep their
jobs instead of losing them.
Under competitive contract-
ing, if employees are organized,
the employees have the opportu-
nity to do one of two things,
Krawczun said. One, make an
act as a bidder themselves; they
can form a group to be able to re-
spond. Or, they can offer wage
concessions or other contracted
considerations that would equate
to the same savings that a compet-
itive contract vendor may be able
to generate.
The council is looking to imple-
ment the changes to emergency
dispatching services by January,
which is not enough time, in the
residents and employees eyes, to
attain and train a new team of
dispatchers.
This is a major decision with
not enough research and findings
done, Handelman said. I dont
think people realize how impor-
tant it is to have seasoned and
competent people doing this job.

SEPTEMBER 26-OCTOBER 2, 2012 THE LAWRENCE SUN 9
Jeff Molinelli, and Volunteer As-
sistants Scott Schuman and Steve
Ciosek.
I would like to thank them for
their countless hours of time and
effort, as well as the athletic staff
at Lawrence High School, Ken
Mason and Cindy Dunn, for help-
ing me with the things outside
the lines, he said.
This year, Rostron has a hand-
ful of returning players on his
roster, as well as a new list of
players that hes looking forward
to training and molding.
But, most importantly, Rostron
is looking to his returning sen-
iors Jess Russo, John Turner,
Connor Springstein, Colm
Humphreys, Kevin Keegan, and
Addison Lemus to help the
younger, more inexperienced
players progress and succeed.
We are looking for these boys
to stay healthy and lead the
younger boys through the ups
and downs of the hard CVC (Colo-
nial Valley Conference) sched-
ule, he said.
Aside from his experienced
group of seniors, Rostron also
has a big group of juniors this
year, some who are returning var-
sity players and some who are
new.
The former sophomores who
are continuing on varsity for
their junior year include Zach
Weyand, Anthony Scardeletti, Al-
berto Santiago, and Cameron Baf-
futo. The extensive list of juniors
who are new to varsity this year
include Pat Sheehan, Jack Har-
graves-Dix, Andrew Takasugi,
Arek Szolowolski, Lucas
Swilinksi, Isaac Martinez, Jacek
Zarski, and David Kraszewski.
Im looking for them to contin-
ue to grow and develop as soccer
players and leaders for next year,
he said.
Rostron further detailed how
there are no sophomores on the
team this year, but how the one
freshman who made it, Kyle
Springstein, will be the new start-
ing goalkeeper.
It is a big deal for a freshman
to be on the varsity team, espe-
cially as the goalkeeper, Rostron
said. We have seen great
progress so far, and are excited
about his potential for the fu-
ture.
Since Rostron has a full line-up
this year, hes preparing all play-
ers for the vigorous competitors
that are in the CVC.
The CVC is a tough group, he
said. There are no real roll-
overs. Any team can beat you on
any day. Regardless of what you
see on paper, you have to play the
game.
Rostron explained how
Lawrences only other high
school and LHS rival, Notre
Dame High School, is one of the
teams that theyre looking out for
this year.
Notre Dame is one of our
greatest rivalries because of skill
level and closeness, plus the fact
that a lot of their players went to
Lawrence elementary schools
and the middle school, he said.
We played them already, and we
played well, but we lost 3-2. If we
had five more minutes, I think we
could've won. I was very proud of
the boys that day.
All in all, Rostron hopes to
make it to the state champi-
onships this year, and explained
how the biggest hurdle of the
boys season is what the actual
season entails.
To train six out of seven days
a week, stay healthy, and get excit-
ed for each game is mentally and
physically exhausting, he said.
Throw in some injuries and you
have a recipe for a tough game
every game.
The Cardinals next game will
be on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m.
at Lawrence High School against
Shawnee Mission South High
School.
