Special to The Sun
From Oct. 31 through Nov. 2, Lawrence Township Public Schools opened Lawrence High School
(LHS) Commons to Lawrence residents to provide warmth, Internet access, food, water, showers,
and a place to charge electronics. Many children visited LHS during these times, where plenty of
books, Disney videos and activities were made readily available for their entertainment.
High school offers comfort following the storm
Township recovers
following storm
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
In the wake of Hurricane
Sandy, about 90 percent of
Lawrence Township regained
power and all roads were cleared
of fallen trees and the majority of
downed power lines as of
Wednesday, Nov. 7, according to
Township Manager Richard
Krawczun.
The storm, which tore through
Lawrence on Monday Oct. 29,
caused excessive damage to the
township, including widespread
power outages and dozens of fall-
en and broken trees, which Kraw-
czun reported will be costing the
township somewhere between
$150,000 and $200,000.
Most of the power was back as
of now [Nov. 7], but there are a
few pockets of individual prob-
lems that we're trying to follow up
on, Krawczun said. For exam-
ple, West Long Drive is being
worked on today [Nov. 7], which
has about 12 or 14 houses.
Krawczun detailed how many
of these individual problems
were single streets or several
streets in certain neighborhoods
that had not yet been assessed by
the power company.
However, in regard to other
storm-related matters, everything
seemed to be moving along
smoothly in the township.
All of the emergent tree re-
moval has been done, Krawczun
said. All of the trees have been
removed to allow for roads to be
open, so that work is complete.
The only work remaining for
the township as of Nov. 7 was to
remove some fallen and dismem-
bered trees on some areas of pub-
lic property, Krawczun added.
Similar to many of the sur-
rounding municipalities, he also
reported that Lawrence will be
reaching out to FEMA for reim-
bursement of costs used to han-
dle all storm-related issues.
We don't have all the specifics
yet, but are working on it, he
said.
As a result of the storm, the
school district decided to hold
school on Thursday, Nov. 8 and
Friday, Nov. 9. Although all
schools are usually closed on
those two days for the New Jersey
Education Association's (NJEA)
Teachers Convention, Superin-
tendent Crystal Edwards made
the decision to hold school since
the convention was cancelled be-
cause of the storm and because
the district used more snow days
than it's annually allotted.

Police dispatching services
focus at council meeting
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
At Lawrence Townships coun-
cil meeting on Thursday, Nov. 8,
several police dispatchers in the
township voiced their continued
frustration and discontent with
the townships decision to utilize
competitive contracting to priva-
tize police dispatching services.
Vice president for Local No.
2257 of the American Federation
of State, County and Municipal
Employees (AFSCME), the union
that represents police dispatchers
and other township employees,
Susan Handelman addressed the
council members and Township
Manager Richard Krawczun
about the current bidding situa-
tion, since the bidding proposal
was supposed to be drafted dur-
ing the first week of November.
Going out to get the quota-
tions for the competitive contract-
ing those requests went out last
week, but for obvious reasons,
due to the redirection of every-
ones attention to storm response,
theyve been postponed for the
moment, Krawczun said. We
will be going back out, but we
havent updated our timeline. We
have a draft; we have to refine
that draft of those specifications.
Once those specifications are
ready, they are made available to
the public and also to your
union.
Handelman, who for several
months has been publicly defend-
ing the seven other dispatchers in
her unit whose jobs are also in
jeopardy, advised the council to
look for other ways to solve the

As a result of Hurricane Sandy,
PEI Kids, a nonprofit organiza-
tion serving children and fami-
lies in Mercer County, has
rescheduled its Seventh Annual
Tasting in Titusville from Fri-
day, Nov. 2 to Thursday, Nov. 29,
and has organized a diaper drive
for the children affected by Hurri-
cane Sandy to be a part of the an-
nual fundraiser.
The event will be held at the
Union Firehouse, located at 1396
River Road (Route 29) in Ti-
tusville, from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
Individuals attending the Tast-
ing are asked to bring diapers to
donate. Diapers donated at the
event will go directly to New Jer-
sey children and families affected
by the storm.
Our first priority at PEI Kids
is to keep our children safe, Ex-
ecutive Director of PEI Kids
Penny Ettinger said. And with
the disastrous effect of this devas-
tating storm, we knew we could
make a positive impact on those
children and families of New Jer-
sey by concentrating our efforts
in helping them while holding
our annual fundraiser to support
our work.
The tasting event will feature
100 red and white wines, as well
as food from a number of local
restaurants and cake vendors.
Wines will be provided courtesy
of ShopRite Liquors of Penning-
ton. Hors doeuvres are donated
by Bitter Bobs, Caf Mulino,
Cairo Cakes, Cuginos Italian Spe-
cialties, El Taco Loco, El Tule
Restaurant, Its Nutts Restau-
rant, Maddalenas Cheesecake
and Catering, Palace of Asia, Pa-
triots Crossing, Sal de Fortes Ris-
torante, and the Yahweh Bread
Co. Tickets are $60 per person or
two for $100.
All proceeds from the event
will help PEI Kids expand its
child-focused programs and serv-
ices.
For tickets and information,
call Ester Rodriguez at PEI Kids

A $25,000 Community Develop-
ment Block Grant (CDBG) from
the City of Trenton will help PEI
Kids a Mercer County nonprofit
dedicated to keeping children
safe continue to serve at-risk
teenage clients via its highly re-
garded Comprehensive Juvenile
Offenders Outreach Services
(CJOOS) program. The federal
CDBG Program provides cities
with funds to help meet the needs
of low and moderate income resi-
dents. Trenton receives an annual
CDBG allocation from the U.S. De-
partment of Housing and Urban
Development to support a variety
of local services and for commu-
nity improvement.
PEI Kids' Comprehensive Juve-
nile Offenders Outreach Services
(CJOOS) program is a 16-week
court-mandated program for
first- or second-time juvenile of-
fenders on probation. It boasts a
strong and well-established track
record of helping participants ex-
perience reduced recidivism (re-
arrest); improve educational and
job skills; increase understanding
of positive ways to manage emo-
tions; and gain knowledge of pos-
itive alternatives to gang culture.
Traditionally, more than 95 per-
cent of program participants are
from Trenton; and 100 percent of
them are from low-to-moderate
income families.
"Having served more than 1,250
local at-risk juveniles in the past
decade, this program helps at-
risk youth build skills and make
better choices, which leads to
more employable productive citi-
zens and stronger, safer commu-
nities," PEI Kids Executive Direc-
tor Penny Ettinger said. "This
support comes at a critical time
for PEI Kids, and I would especial-
ly like to thank Congressman
Chris Smith (NJ-04), who sup-
ported our funding request and is
a true advocate for the children of
New Jersey. We also value our
strong relationships with Mercer
County Juvenile Probation De-
partment and Family Court, who
share our dedication to redirect-
ing at-risk juveniles before they
become habitual offenders."
Program evaluations show that
PEI Kids' CJOOS graduates (ages
11 to 17) consistently avoid re-ar-
rest, pursue constructive activi-
ties and improve their lives. This,
in turn, benefits the local commu-
nity. As the number of gangs in
Mercer County, particularly Tren-
ton, continues to increase at a
rapid rate, gang prevention and
intervention are also core
elements of the CJOOS curricu-
lum.
"During an average program
session, you will find members of
several area gangs sitting side by
side getting to know one another
and interacting in positive ways,"
Ettinger said. "After they gradu-
ate from the program, many
youth voluntarily return due to
the positive atmosphere it pro-
vides. It is truly a benefit to these
children and our community."
Grant will help PEI Kids continue
Township services were also postponed
and/or rescheduled as a result of the
storm. Regularly scheduled recycling pick-
up was postponed and set to resume on
Nov. 12., leaf collection was suspended, and
brush collection was re-instituted on Nov.
5.
Since Lawrence Township was receiving
numerous complaints regarding yard
waste and debris placed throughout the
neighborhoods and streets, the township
advised residents to comply with the town-
ship's rules and regulations, since each
street began collection once during the
week beginning Nov. 5. The rules and regu-
lations can be found on the township's web-
site lawrencetwp.org.
In light of the natural disaster that
swept through Lawrence, Township Mayor
Jim Kownacki noted how well all township
employees handled the overall situation
and clean up.
I appreciate everything our people have
done here, he said. They were, right from
the start, on top of it. We put the alert out
for the State of Emergency in Lawrence for
6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 28, and that way it
gave everybody a heads up. Our Public
Works people, our first responders, truth-
fully I can't give them enough credit. The
Public Works people got up there and
opened the roads so at least they were pass-
able for us. We worked with the state and
DOT about cutting down some trees and
fixing some lines, and they helped out
wherever they could just to get Lawrence
Township back up and running.
He also thanked the various organiza-
tions for assisting residents in need, in-
cluding Lawrence High School, which
opened up its commons room for residents
from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 to provide warmth,
Internet access, food, water, showers and a
place to charge electronics.
Kownacki officially removed Lawrence
Township's State of Emergency on noon of
Nov. 6, and updated the community as to
Lawrence's position as of Nov. 7.
We still have areas that are without
power, Kownacki said. Some of the resi-
dents understand and some don't, but we're
still following through with everything on
our end to make sure Public Service is
aware of it, and trying to do what we can to
get it back on. They [residents] have to no-
tify Public Service to make sure that
they're on that list, so they come out and it
gets done.
I do know one development behind the
municipal building there's some power
outages over there, and also by Province
Line Road and off of Princeton Pike, but

A
BC News last month reported
that, since the Transportation
Security Administration was
formed 10 years ago, almost 400 em-
ployees have been fired for allegedly
stealing from passengers.
ABC also talked to a former TSA
worker who claims to have stolen
$800,000 worth of cash and merchan-
dise. He quoted TSA employees as say-
ing: I dont care. They aint paying me.
Theyre treating me wrong.
So, some, by no means all or even
close to a majority, of TSA workers
cant be trusted to keep their hands off
phones, tablets and cash.
We dont want to use too wide of a
brush to paint a picture that TSA em-
ployees are thieves and cant be trust-
ed. In the same ABC report, the TSA
said the number fired represented less
than one-half of 1 percent of those
who have been employed.
But the information leads to one
question: If even only a few TSA em-
ployees are stealing from passengers,
how difficult would it be for a terrorist
group to slip one or two of them a few
bucks to allow who knows what to get
through the security checkpoint?
The nations airport security system
should be changed. If were serious
about deterring terror in the sky, we
have to fix the system. It will cost
money, but it also will give us a much
better, and safer, flying experience.
One only needs to look at Israel to
get some ideas. Now, Israel is a much
smaller country with only a couple of
major airports, so perhaps not every
security tactic it uses can be adapted to
the United States.
But the U.S. can incorporate some
measures. There can be highly trained
personnel on hand to interview pas-
sengers, for example. Give a wrong or
puzzling answer? Get pulled out of line
for more questions.
Lets keep our shoes on, hire the
right people to do the job and finally
get serious about protecting airplanes
from terrorists.
in our opinion
TSA thefts
Report shows why airline security system must be changed
Airport security
Let passengers keep their shoes on.
Hire people who know what theyre
doing. Incorporate ideas already in
practice elsewhere. Security answers
are out there, if the nation wants them.

2013 budget gap rather than priva-
tizing dispatching.
Weve been dealing with this
for several months now, and it's
really put a lot of stress and pres-
sure on all of us wondering daily
what's going to happen to us come
next year, she said.
Can y'all just keep in mind
that every one of us just worked
through our second hurricane. I
got nine hours of sleep, I think,
from Sunday until Tuesday night
when I got home. I left my family,
my safe home and came in to
work and make sure there were
officers on the street and that res-
idents were safe. I didn't have to
come in; I did it because I care
about the people of Lawrence
Township. Just keep that in mind
when you look into these bids and
these privatized companies that
are not well known.
President for Local No. 2257 of
the AFSCME Dora Haines also
voiced her concern about the
issue.
I want to know what we can
do to make this all go away, she
said. What do you want from
us?
Haines detailed how the town-
ship originally used police offi-
cers as police dispatchers, before
they decided to hire civilians at a
much cheaper cost.
Now you're talking about get-
ting rid of us; I just don't see the
cost saving there, she said. We
don't want the police in there; we
want them out on the road as
much as anybody else does, but if
you don't rehire positions that are
empty, how are we supposed to
man the desk?
Krawczun explained how the
dispatchers' benefits are
ultimately, and unfortunately, the
reason behind the township's de-
sire to utilize competitive con-
tracting.
The cost of the benefits for
public employees is driving the
cost of the service to astronomi-
cal heights that's the problem,
he said. We're being painted into
a corner to find ways to provide
services that cost less money. If I
were you, I would be angry, but
don't think that this argument or
this review is about quality of
service or performance, because
it's not. Our biggest challenge is
to make sure that we keep the
same benchmark that the dis-
patchers of Lawrence Township
have set.
Not you or any dispatcher
should leave here this evening or
come to work to Lawrence Town-
ship tomorrow or the next day
and think for a second that what
the dispatchers do is trivialized
or considered not important by
myself, this council, and your
command in your Police Depart-
ment, he added.
Once the bids for dispatching
services are complete, they will
be made available to the website
on the township website
lawrencetwp.org.
