Council
adopts
municipal
budget
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
The Lawrence Council adopted
its 2012 municipal budget at a re-
cent meeting.
The total budget of $44,028,958
will impose a tax increase of $80
for the average assessed home
valued at $160,828, officials said.
The council used $4,440,000 out
of the available $5,020,587 sur-
plus.
Since the council formed the
Citizens Advisory Committee in
April, it has made a number of
changes and revisions to the 2012
budget. The major revisions to
the budget, as a result of a reject-
ed referendum to raise the mu-
nicipal taxes and impose a
garbage collection fee, include
the elimination of 14 positions.
It includes one position that
goes from full-time to part-time,
and 13 positions being eliminat-
ed, Township Manager Richard
Krawczun said. Specifically, in
the police department, there are
five positions affected. One is
being vacated due to retirement,
one is being vacated due to resig-
nation and the three remaining
positions are subject to the lay-
offs. There are other positions
that are also being affected in dif-
ferent departments.
Councilman Greg Puliti said

Annual Spring Jubilee draws crowd
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
Lawrenceville Main Street at-
tracted nearly 4,000 visitors of all
ages at the 14th annual Spring Ju-
bilee.
The jubilee had an assortment
of activities, games and local
vendors.
This years event was the
largest one to date with 75 food,
shopping and non-profit vendors,
and nearly double the number of
attendees than previous years be-
cause of the picture-perfect,
sunny weather.
Executive director of
Lawrenceville Main Street and
12-year resident Lindsey Bohra
handled the majority of planning
for the event and said she be-
lieved it was a tremendous suc-
cess.
The jubilee had the feel of an
old-time street fair, she said.
We really attracted the masses
because the weather was on our
side this year. As one of my
friends, Tracy, said, which Id re-
ally like to coin for the jubilee, is
that it had small-town feel, big-
time fun.
Children who attended were
offered a variety of activities and
games, including inflatables like
the bounce house and giant slide,
pony rides, and face painting.
The professional face painting,
provided by Roma Bank, drew in
the majority of children with
their colorfully realistic designs.
There was a new twist to the
annual pie-eating contest a sta-
ple at the event that included
both children and adults. The top
two winning adults won dinner
for two at Chambers Walk Cater-
ing and Caf and dinner for two
at Vidalias, and the top two win-
ning children won gift cards to
Purple Cow, TJs Pizzeria or
Udos Bagels.
Aside from the various activi-
ties offered, the event also fea-
tured an afternoon full of live en-
tertainment and dancing.

in our opinion
T
he governor, along with a
bunch of other people, visited
Atlantic City to kick off the
Memorial Day weekend. And, while he
was there, he announced that new reg-
ulations will be proposed to authorize
sports betting in the state.
What about the federal law that says
the state cant have sports betting?
Gov. Christie reportedly said some-
thing to the effect of go ahead and try
to stop us.
The federal government probably
will try to stop it. And, judging from
history, its at least a 21-point favorite
to win.
The governor, though, is right. Com-
mon sense dictates that sports betting
should be legal. Billions of dollars are
wagered on sporting events every
year with a good chunk of that
money going to illegal betting opera-
tions.
Lots of people bet on sports in some
form, or at least want to bet on sports.
New Jersey residents at the polls over-
whelmingly supported sports betting
last year. How many of you have par-
ticipated in a March Madness office
pool, for example?
And whats really the difference be-
tween investing in the stock market
and trying to pick winners on the grid-
iron, diamond or court? In both in-
stances, people conduct research, ana-
lyze the data and try to predict the fu-
ture. Sometimes they win. Sometimes
they lose. But its the same principle.
Yet one is legal and one is not. Want
to bet on the Eagles? Fly to Vegas or
find a bookie. Want to buy some
shares of Apple? Log on to your own
personal investment portal. It doesnt
make sense.
We wish the governor well, as
theres really no doubt that legalizing
sports betting in New Jersey would be
a boon to Atlantic City and racetracks.
But hes in for a real fight. Federal
courts in the past have upheld the ban,
which has been in place for two
decades. Then again, they havent met
Chris Christie.
Sports betting a long shot
But governor believes that, despite law, it can happen in New Jersey
Boot the ban
Were all for Gov. Christies attempt to
bring legalized sports betting to New
Jersey. It makes sense. At the same
time, we recognize that overturning a
federal ban will be an uphill battle.
Jubilee offered plethora of vendors
event both online and on-air for two hours
where they gave away many prizes from
their Big Yellow Van, including Broadway
tickets to Sinatra! and played a mixture
of different types of music.
There were also bands and dance organi-
zations on hand that performed, including
headliner Riverside Blue Grass, VIVA Ball-
room Dance Studio, Shishya School of Per-
forming Arts, Folklorico Ritmo y Danzas de
Panama and Blue Thread a local band
comprised of eighth-graders from
Lawrence Middle School.
There were 10 food vendors, including
local restaurants such as Vidalias, TJs
Pizzeria, and Chambers Walk Catering and
Caf.
The food ranged everywhere from local
restaurants to more common, street fair
food, Bohra said. There was a Caribbean
food vendor, which was amazing, pulled
pork, Philly cheese steaks, mozzarella
sticks and rice balls, gourmet cupcakes,
homemade fudge, and so much more.
Aside from the food vendors, there was
even more of a variety of shopping ven-
dors. Fifty vendors displayed items at the
event.
We had a lot of business support, so it
was excellent, Bohra said. Its good be-
cause it spreads the word about local busi-
nesses.
Small businesses are looking for ways
to get in front of the kind of people that
they think that their products are meant to
be targeted toward, Board president of
Lawrenceville Main Street Howard Nelson
said. Bricks and mortars are too expen-
sive, so you have to find another way to get
in contact with someone else, so these
events are perfect. Theres low overhead for
businesses and it attracts a lot of people
you may never get a chance to be in front of
4,000 people in one day.
There were also 15 non-profits vendors
that gained exposure at the event. Nelson
also explained how important it was for the
local non-profits to attend so they could bet-
ter inform residents of their services.
Its particularly important for non-prof-
its so they can get in front of people and let
people know that they have the ability to
fulfill the needs of the community, he said.
If you dont know that these services are
available, youd never know that you can
take advantage of them and thats very im-
portant for a lot of families in Lawrence
Township. Its important for the organiza-
tion to engage the community so that these
services can be utilized.
Of the 75 vendors that setup tables at the
event, not one vendor was the same.
Lawrenceville Main Street wanted to diver-
sify the types of services and vendors they
exhibited, so they offered exclusives no
duplications of vendors.
A number of residents, along with the
Lawrenceville Volunteer Fire Station, the
Lawrence Police Department, students
from the Lawrenceville School and mem-
bers of Lawrenceville Main Street all vol-
unteered time to execute the event.
We cant produce an event like this
without the support of the community,
Nelson said. It took a large number of peo-
ple that were interested in keeping the at-
mosphere of Lawrenceville and keeping
that spirit and community feel of together-
ness. For more information about future
events that are hosted by Lawrenceville
Main Street, visit www.lawrencevillemain-

The Original
Krawczun recognized for efforts
he and the council will get
working on next years budget
much sooner than in the
past.
Were going to start the meet-
ings in June to work on next
years budget because we look
into the future, he said.
Basically, everything is going to
be on the table, but as far as po-
lice, Im going to shy away from
that and go to other services be-
cause thats what the people
want.
Following the adoption of the
budget, each council member rec-
ognized Krawczun for his efforts
to revise the budget to the resi-
dents and council members lik-
ings.
Puliti said the budget process
had been particularly straining
this year. He also said the adop-
tion of the budget does not solve
next years revenue gap, which is
the next task the council will be
working to resolve.
This has been a long process
with having to make hard choic-
es to balance this years budget,
he said. Weve heard lengthy
public comment wanting to cut
township expenditures and thats
what we did. The township budg-
et is a service-oriented business
and the reduction of expendi-
tures relates into cuts in servic-
es.
Puliti also noted how compli-
cated the budget process is, and
how Krawczun did all he could to
accommodate residents accord-
ingly.
The job of the township man-
ager, besides from running the
day-to-day operations of the
township, was to put together a
budget based on the policies set
forth by this council, Puliti said.
Municipal finances are not
simple mathematics and require
a superior knowledge of local
government finance law, in
which he has. As manager, not
only does he have the highest eth-
ical standards I have ever seen,
he also has the utmost respect in
austerity for the taxpayers dol-
lar.
Councilman Michael Powers
said the residents got what they
asked for, despite the failed refer-
endum.
This is a democracy in ac-
tion, he said. We all know
about the shortfall for next year,
so everything is on the table, and
that includes garbage. Were
going to be looking at everything.
If youre running a government
in an efficient manner, theres no
fat to remove. Youre cutting into
bone. And thats what youre see-
ing. Youre seeing the council
being responsive to the voters
and making the cuts that the vot-
ers have demanded. This is not us
targeting the police department.
Every department has felt the
cuts.
Councilwoman Cathleen Lewis
also commented and explained
how the state-mandated 2 percent
state-imposed tax cap has put the
council in this current predica-
ment.
The 2 percent cap was intend-
ed to curb the spread of the ris-
ing property taxes, she said.
However, what it has done for
this municipality and municipal-
ities all over the state is prevent
our ability to provide the servic-
es that residents come to rely on.
Tonights vote and tonights lay-
offs in this budget represent what
municipalities will have to do to
live under a cap.
Krawczun assured the council
and residents the budget gap
would eventually be reduced, and
the council would begin to work
on next years budget this month
to get a head start.
We will continue to work
on this issue going forward, he
said. And, we will continue
to push forward to seek solu-
tions.

JUNE 6-12, 2012 THE LAWRENCE SUN 9
Eileen Tresansky knows that
being a teacher doesnt mean you
stop educating yourself. She spent
the last 12 years and over 300
hours in coursework and over 600
hours in a supervised practicum
working toward her goal of be-
coming an Orton-Gillingham Fel-
low.
This past month, she reached
that goal, and joined an elite
group of national educators,
when she received her fellow ac-
creditation from the Academy of
Orton-Gillingham Practitioners
and Educators.
This achievement speaks to the
level of commitment Tresansky
has to teaching students with lan-
guage-based disabilities and
dyslexia. She has been teaching
learning disabled students for
more than 25 years and is cur-
rently the language instruction
coordinator for The Bridge Acad-
emy in Lawrenceville where
every day she applies the Orton-
Gillingham approach to her stu-
dents.
Tresansky describes Orton-
Gillingham as a multi-sensory ap-
proach to the instruction of lan-
guage that incorporates the visu-
al, auditory, tactile and kinesthet-
ic pathways to teaching. The stu-
dent learns spelling simultane-
ously with reading.
It is not a program with a
book, she said, but a systematic
way of teaching that is struc-
tured, sequential, cumulative,
cognitive and flexible.
The Orton-Gillingham ap-
proach is both diagnostic and pre-
scriptive, and based on a
close teacher-student relation-
ship.
This distinction allows the
teacher to meet the student at the
level of his or her need and make
informed decisions about the di-
rection the curriculum should
take.
The OG approach does more
than just teach reading and writ-
ing, Tresansky said. It also al-
lows the student to experience
success that may have eluded
them. This success results in en-
hanced self-esteem and self-confi-
dence.
Becoming an Orton-Gilling-
ham Fellow is a testament to the
value of learning this education-
al approach.
When you have been teaching
as long as I have, you want to in-
sure you are using the best ap-
proach there is, Tresansky said.
Orton-Gillingham is the most
productive approach for working
with students who have dyslexia
and other language-based learn-
ing disabilities. In addition, be-
coming a Fellow also qualifies me
to train and supervise other pro-
fessionals in the OG approach,
and having the qualifications and
now knowledge to teach my peers
is very important to me.
