    EMS kicks offannual fund drive

    BY HEATHER FIOREThe Montgomery Sun

    The Montgomery EMS kickedoff its 2013 Fund Drive recentlywith its first donation from MayorEd Trzaska.

    This is the second year Trzaskahas helped mark the start of theFund Drive, which is MEMSbiggest annual fundraiser.

    The Montgomery EMS squadplays a key role in our publichealth and safety services, hesaid. They have been protectingour community for 40 years, andtheir professionalism and expert-ise are second to none. During therelief effort for Hurricane Sandy,the squad went above and beyondand made a difference in count-less ways.

    MEMS is an all-volunteer or-ganization comprised of mostlylocal residents that provides serv-ices to the township 24 hours aday, 365 days a year. Last year, it

    donated more than 37,000 hours ofservice to the community.

    The squads annual budget for2013 is $144,000, which is mostlypaid for through donations. Thisyear, 24 percent of the budget isbeing put in the squads CapitalFund, which is used for ambu-lance replacement and buildingupkeep.

    We purchase our own ambu-lances and are planning to pur-

    chase a new one this year, saidJohn Connacher, president ofMEMS.

    If the town had to take overEMS services provided by MEMS,it would cost the taxpayers ofMontgomery more than $1 mil-lion.

    Our annual Fund Drive makesup the majority of MEMS budg-et, Connacher said. The fundswe receive go toward maintainingand replacing equipment, sup-plies and vehicles, as well as thecontinuous training of our crews.

    Residents can expect MEMSannual Fund Drive flyer to arrivein the mail within the next weekor so. All donations are tax-de-ductible.

    On April 21, MEMS held anoth-er one of its annual fundraisers,the All-You-Can-Eat PancakeBreakfast, at its building in BelleMead. More than 150 people at-tended the event, including ahandful of Montgomery High

    School students who assisted thesquad members with preparationand serving.

    Our EMS squad is one of thebest around, and everyone inMontgomery should be proud ofthem, Connacher said. I urge allresidents and businesses of ourtownship to support MEMS inany way they can."

    Mayor, deputy mayorrunning unopposed

    The Montgomery TownshipRepublican Organization unani-mously endorsed Mayor Ed Trza-ska and Deputy Mayor PatriciaGraham for the two seats on thetownship committee that will becontested in November. Both arerunning for reelection and a sec-ond three-year term. Trzaska andGraham filed petitions with themunicipal clerk and will beplaced on the ballot under the slo-gan Somerset County Republi-

    can Organization along with theother county-endorsed candi-dates, including Gov. ChrisChristie.

    As of now, Trzaska and Gra-ham are running unopposedsince no local Democrat filed peti-tions by the primary electiondeadline.

    "I am surprised that Pat and Iare currently running unop-

    posed, but this is likely indicativeof the quality of work we aredoing, Trzaska said. Over thepast few years, we have had nu-merous successes doing morewith less, preserving open space,making township meetings moreaccessible to the public, and im-proving the long-term health ofMontgomery. Overall, feedbackfrom residents has been very pos-itive and they like the directionwe are heading.

    We have worked hard to makeends meet and improve the finan-cial health of Montgomery, Gra-ham said. Every budget that wehave passed has come in wellunder Gov. Christies property taxcap law and we are spending lessthan 2005 levels. Who else can saythat? In addition, last year weachieved a perfect score from the

    Money is always an issue.

    Families are constantly

    pinching pennies, looking

    for ways to reduce expenses. School

    districts and municipal governments

    are doing the same, hoping to help

    lower, or at least stabilize, the amount

    of tax money they require to live intown.

    The challenge has always been, and

    will continue to be, how these entities

    can control costs while still providing

    high-quality services that their resi-

    dents demand. The state of New Jersey

    certainly isnt helping much through

    aid, and its unlikely that will change

    any time soon.

    So the onus is on the local municipal

    governments and school districts to get

    creative: Not only what can be cut from

    expenses, but what can be added to rev-

    enues.

    For awhile now, the idea of private

    sponsorship of public facilities has

    been tossed around. Selling banners to

    local businesses at Little League fields,

    or having that business sponsor a

    youth sports team has been the norm

    for quite some time. And no one seems

    to have a problem with that.

    But throw in the possibility of sell-

    ing naming rights at a field or, worse

    even, a building or complex, and excep-

    tions start to arise. When is enough

    enough? the detractors ask. Does

    everything need to be sold?

    We agree that there is a fine line be-

    tween tasteful, effective sponsorship

    and over-the-line, banner-on-every-

    inch-of-the-field advertising. Think

    Major League 2 here (for all you

    sports movie fans).

    Moorestown Township recently ap-

    proved an ordinance on first reading

    that, if passed, would establish an offi-

    cial sponsorship program. Officials

    say that the program would increase

    township revenues and help with im-

    provements and maintenance of recre-

    ational fields.

    Annual banner and sponsorship op-

    portunities will be available, with nam-ing rights being offered as five- or 10-

    year deals, with minimum bids of

    $5,000 and $35,000, respectively. To en-

    sure proper material, businesses wont

    be allowed to advertise the sale of alco-

    hol, tobacco, adult-oriented material or

    other items not consistent with pro-

    moting the youth sports program and

    the positive image of the township.

    We applaud Moorestown Township

    for its work in this regard, and we urge

    other townships to follow suit.

    If done correctly, sponsorships and

    naming rights can provide a huge in-

    flux of cash to youth sports leagues, to

    school districts and to municipal gov-

    ernments.

    This field brought to you by...Its time for governments, schools to utilize sponsorships at fields, buildings

    Too much advertising?

    Do you agree that sponsorship is a goodidea? Or do you think that enough isenough? Let us know your thoughtsthrough a letter to the editor.

    Readers opposes townshipinvolvement with rodeos

    In past years, Montgomery Townshipwas involved in public rodeos. Now, anoth-er one is scheduled.

    We strongly oppose this event. Rodeosare exploitive and abusive of animals.They play into the human appetite for

    power and control over other species anddesensitize both adults and children to thefact that animals are sentient beings, capa-ble of emotional as well as physical suffer-ing.

    Rodeos contribute to a callous attitude

    toward animals in our society. It is wellknown that the cycle of domestic violenceoften begins with animal abuse in child-hood, and therefore, we must set an exam-ple for our children of valuing and nurtur-ing all beings.

    It is greatly disturbing that some peoplefind a rodeo entertaining and that theyenjoy an event that causes suffering andglorifies those who excel in it. Unfortunate-

    ly, mostly every circus deserves the samecriticism.

    Even if the charitable cause is worth-while, we are sure the township can comeup with a more humane alternative. Partic-ipation in and support for this unethical

    treatment of animals is cruel and uncivi-lized. Please put an end to this annualevent and facilitate fundraisers we can allbe proud to contribute to.

    Cheerleaders honored

    at committee meetingBY HEATHER FIOREThe Montgomery SunThe Montgomery High School

    varsity cheerleading team wasrecognized for its outstanding ef-forts this past season with aproclamation from the townshipcommittee.

    The 20 cheerleaders were hon-ored at the March 21 committeemeeting, where township offi-

    cials, proud parents and their twocoaches, Tiffany Riley and AmyNowak, congratulated them ontheir accomplishments.

    "We are incredibly proud ofthis team, especially since theywere such a young team," Rileysaid. "We had 17 seniors that leftlast year, so we weren't reallysure how this team was going tocome together, but they reallysurprised us."

    For the first time in MHS his-tory, the team won the title of

    Somerset County cheerleadingchampions.

    Along with tackling that feat,the cheerleaders also placed sixthin the Universal Cheerleaders As-

    sociation Empire State Regionalsand competed in the NationalHigh School Cheerleading Cham-pionship in Orlando, Fla.

    "We're looking forward to thepotential this team has movingforward because of how greatthey were this year and howgreat they've become," Riley said.

    But, the praise didn't stopthere. The township committeealso commended the squad for its

    charitable efforts.For the third year in a row, thesquad hosted an event known asCougars for Cure, which the girlsrenamed this year to CougarsTackling Cancer.

    The event raises funds for theSteeplechase Cancer Center atthe Somerset Medical Center.

    The girls turned the MHS sta-dium pink to promote breast can-cer awareness throughout themonth of October and raised$2,365 this year, which was for-

    mally donated to the SMC at thecommittee meeting.

    Donna Castronovo, director ofspecial events for the SomersetMedical Center Foundation, was

    present to accept the donationand said the team has raised al-most $8,000 for the center overthe last three years.

    "Montgomery is a really spe-cial place because all of the vol-unteers, especially our youngerresidents who go above and be-yond," Mayor Ed Trzaska said."The MHS cheerleading team hasaccomplished so much this year,both on the competition stage

    and through their charitable en-deavors.Their teamwork and dedica-

    tion to our community are ad-mirable, and all of Montgomeryis proud of them."

    When asked about running forreelection, Mayor Trzaska com-mented, I decided to run again

    because we are in the middle ofsome truly exciting initiatives.Our energy aggregation projectmay save residents up to $1 mil-lion in electricity costs, and we

    are working on several signifi-cant opportunities to preservemore open space. We are also re-designing the entire organiza-tional structure at town hall andseeking to improve the retail dis-trict in town by partnering withour local business community. I

    would like to see these initiativesthrough to completion.

    Trzaska and his wife are 10-year residents of Montgomeryand expecting their first child

    this summer.Trzaska works as a Director at

    Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. and is a grad-uate of Rutgers University wherehe received a B.S. in ChemicalEngineering and M.B.A. in phar-maceutical management andmarketing.

    upset?Your editorial concluded that

    we get what we pay for and thefacts you use to support that con-clusion appear to have been se-lected carefully, but were notcomplete.

    A quick review of the dataavailable online from the N.J. De-partment of Education revealsthat more than half of the cost tooperate the city schools in NewJersey is provided by the state.

    These funds are ultimately de-rived disproportionately from thesuburban and rural taxpayers.

    In many cases, the cost perpupil to operate city schools ismuch higher than the cost to op-erate the Montgomery Schools,but the results in city schools are

    very disappointing. The schoolsthat are failing in the state aremostly in the cities.

    This leads to the conclusionthat we are not getting what weare paying for where the cityschools are concerned. I wouldchallenge the view that spendingmore on education will alwaysproduce better students, gradesor education.

    Parochial school costs per stu-dent are widely believed to be

    much lower than public schoolcosts yet the parochial schoolsachieve better results, even in the

    cities.In my view, the requirement

    for our public schools to be thor-ough and efficient is not beingmet throughout the state.

    You accurately recognize thatsome families that no longer haveschool-age children move out ofthe state to avoid the high taxesthat support the school systems.This is not always an option formany of our seniors who haveties to the community, were born,raised, worked and retired herebut now find they are unable topay their property tax bill that ismore than two-thirds school tax.

    be in sight in the near future, itwill not rectify this problem.Denis Cummings

    Princeton Fitness Centerrecognized for mentoring

    More than two years ago, thePrinceton Fitness and Wellness

    Center in Princeton was one ofthe first sites to collaborate withMontgomery High Schools Spe-cial Education Work Study Pro-gram, providing local studentswith special needs an opportuni-ty to develop real life workplaceand social skills to assist them incareer preparation. The centermentored the students and pro-vided a job coach to assist them invarious duties as they rotatedthrough many different areas of

    the facility, affording them train-ing in an array of skills based ontheir ability levels. ManagerDanielle McGrath, along withpast manager Katie Pettit, provid-ed an atmosphere for learning

    job-related skills to many stu-dents over the past two schoolyears.

    Students attended these workstudy placements as part of

    their regular school day, receiv-ing credit and being evaluated for

    the work performed. While en-gaged at the site, students worethe appropriate uniforms andlearned to keep track of theirtime using both a time clock sys-tem and written time sheets. Thementors provided opportunitiesalong the way for the students toreflect on their duties, experi-ences and the job skills theylearned.

    The center also supported theCommunity Based Instruction ef-

    forts of the school having the stu-dents visit a few times a month towork out and learn about fitnessand community leisure time asanother component of theirschool day. Trevor Deysher, atrainer at the center, gave up hisown free time to assist the stu-dents with this endeavor as partof this au gratis agreement.

    Merrill Lynch today

    announced that Fi-

    nancial Advisor El-

    liott Kugel has been

    nationally recognized

    among the top advi-

    sors in New Jersey by

    its annual Americas

    Top 1,000 Advisors:

    State-by-State list,

    published on Febru-

    ary 18, 2013 based on
