School honoree
LTPS superintendent
honored by ECV. PAGE 2
Special Olympics group hosts Jingle Jam
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
On Saturday, Dec. 8, the Special
Olympics New Jersey (SONJ)
hosted its first ever Jingle Jam
holiday party at the SONJ Sports
Complex in Lawrenceville, where
more than 120 people participated
in a range of holiday festivities.
Jingle Jam, which was held for
athletes in the SONJs Young Ath-
lete Program (YAP), had such a
great turnout that the SONJ
plans to make it an annual event,
according to organizer and YAP
Manager Andrea Moore.
The event was a huge suc-
cess, she said. Parents and
young athletes were smiling and
dancing the entire time. It was
great to see the YAP families con-
nect with each other. For some
families, it was their first Special
Olympics event, and it was a fan-
tastic experience for them.
Moore explained how she
planned all of the details of the
event, including the variety of ac-
tivities crafts, storytelling,
photo booths and pictures with
Santa and the live entertain-
ment featuring rock and roll mu-
sician and fitness instructor Miss
Amy, which was the highlight of
the event.
Miss Amy's band was a real
highlight of the event; her mis-
sion of mixing music with fitness
matches up so well with the mis-
sion of SONJ and the Young Ath-
lete Program, she said. Even
Santa joined her and the band for
a few songs. She got all of the ath-
letes and parents moving and
singing.
Moore also detailed how the
athletes particularly enjoyed
meeting Santa, as well as partak-
ing in the variety of holiday ac-
tivities offered.
It was great to see the families
come away with photos from the
photo booths and a bag full of
crafts, she said. The children
also got to decorate their own gin-
gerbread cookies, but most of the
cookies never even made it
home.
The YAP was created to meet
the physical and developmental
needs of children 2 1/2 years old
to 7 years old in the areas of phys-
ical activity and play with an em-
phasis on sports skill develop-
ment in preparation for future
participation in sports.
Although Jingle Jam is the
only party for the YAP athletes,
the SONJ hosts a Future Stars
race for the YAP athletes at the
SONJ Summer Games in June as
well as group activities at the sea-
sonal competitions including the
Fall Sports Festival, Floor Hockey
Tournament, Winter Games and
Spring Sports Festival.
The YAP is an inclusive pro-
gram that, in addition to sport,
promotes social development,
Moore said. The Jingle Jam is
our year-end celebration of all
the success these young athletes
have achieved throughout the
year, with a little holiday fun
mixed in.
The event was presented by the
Law Enforcement Torch Run for
the SONJ, a top grassroots
fundraising effort coordinated
and managed by all divisions of
law enforcement officers and offi-
cials from across New Jersey.

the SONJ, visit sonj.org. For more

forcement Torch Run for the

Special to The Sun
The Special Olympics New Jersey (SONJ) held its first Jingle Jam holiday party for its Young Athlete
Program (YAP) at the SONJ Sports Complex in Lawrenceville on Dec. 8, where children had the chance
to meet Santa, sing along with Miss Amy, and create a variety of holiday crafts.

BY HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
Superintendent of Lawrence
Township Public Schools (LTPS)
Crystal Edwards was honored by
Every Child Valued (ECV) at its
Trumpeting Success Event: Cel-
ebrating Yesterday, Today and To-
morrow on Saturday, Dec. 1,
which acknowledged her continu-
ing partnership with the organi-
zation.
Edwards, who was officially
recognized for her commitment
to raising the academic perform-
ance of at-risk students, her
steadfast support of ECV and her
tireless efforts to make LTPS in-
novative and creative spaces for
learning for all students, ex-
plained how the ECV program
began a decade ago, three years
before she became the superin-
tendent.
It started with a group of citi-
zens petitioning the board [of ed-
ucation] and asking for assis-
tance in developing a community-
based after-school homework en-
richment program, and the board
agreed, she said. When I came
in, it was already up and running.
and all I had to do was continue
with the facilitation.
Edwards explained how she,
along with student assistance
counselor of LTPS Tonia Moore
and director of Princeton Learn-
ing Center Christina Shu, were
honored for their lasting commit-
ment and support to the program.
I worked with them [ECV]
when I was the assistant superin-
tendent, she said. I was respon-
sible for hiring the success coach-
es the staff members that work
in the district full-time and also
in ECV program. And the philos-
ophy was that these were our
wrap around people they see
the students during the day, touch
base with the children and teach-
ers, and then follow the kids to
the program and make sure

homework was being done and
any instructional issues were
being addressed. They also were
present when the parents picked
up children.
ECV is a program that pro-
vides educational enrichment
programs for at-risk students
in cooperation with the LTPS and
other organizations to establish
high expectations and achieve ex-
cellent academic performance by
participating students.
Its a homework and enrich-
ment program, but there are also
some other things like the Girl
Scout program and a walkabout
program (a nature program), Ed-
wards said. In addition to the ac-
ademic enrichment, which is the
bulk of their program, they try to
give kids a well-rounded experi-
ence.
The program also aims to con-
tinue the character education
that is developed and enforced in
school, according to Edwards.
The children are expected to
behave a certain way and to show
respect in the program, she said.
Edwards added how the pro-
gram also recently received a lot
of support from Educational Test-
ing Services (ETS) where the re-
cent event was hosted within
the last couple of years, which
has helped with the assessment of
the program, specifically when
looking at student data.
Rather than just the NJ ASK
scores that school has, ECV has
its own, pre-imposed testing at
the program with help of ETS,
and has received technology con-
sistent with what the kids are see-
ing at school, so its a natural ex-
tension, she said.
When ECV originated, Ed-
wards detailed how the program
was funded through Title 1 funds
(federal funds). However, since
losing the funds several years
ago, she explained how ECV is
now funded through the school
district.
Several years ago, the bulk of
the children in the program at-
tended Lawrence Elementary
School (LES) and they [the
school] no longer qualified, so the
program was in jeopardy of los-
ing funds and they did, she said.
But, the Board of Education
unanimously voted to continue
the program and fund it with dis-
trict funds.
ECV serves more than 50 at-
risk children in kindergarten
through sixth grade throughout
Lawrence Township. ECVs pro-
grams are held every day after
school from 2:45 to 5:30 p.m. at the
Eggerts Crossing Village commu-
nity room (kindergarten through
third grade) and the Lawrence
Community Center (third grade
through sixth grade).

Jeffrey Rotman, one of the top
underwater photographers in the
world and resident of
Lawrenceville, recently visited
The Bridge Academy to share his
knowledge with the students on
marine environments and ani-
mals. Through his documentary
and marine photojournalistic ex-
perience, he brings awareness of
the human fingerprint on the ma-
rine environment. He presented
his findings from the North At-
lantic Ocean, the Red Sea Coral
Reef, and his experience with
sharks.
The students learned a great
deal about marine life.
A marine animals eyes and
mouth can tell you a lot what it
eats and how it survives, Rot-
man said.
The students were able to apply
this newfound knowledge later in
the week when they visited the
Adventure Aquarium in Camden
as a continuation of their studies.
Students were fascinated with
the wonderful photography, sci-
ence teacher at The Bridge Acad-
emy Kathleen Sommers said.
The students are currently
studying marine environments,
and to hear about Mr. Rotmans
personal experience was excit-
ing.
The Bridge Academy is an in-
dependent school in
Lawrenceville for students with
language-based learning disabili-
ties, like dyslexia, auditory pro-
cessing, ADHD and/or dys-
graphia. Its for students ages 8-
18, and the only Orton-Gilling-
ham accredited program in New
Jersey.
Rotman has over three decades
of documentary, wildlife and ma-
rine photojournalistic experi-
ence, and has secured his title as
one of the top underwater pho-
tographers in the world. Among
his recent honors, Rotman was
recognized as the BBC Underwa-
ter Wildlife Photographer of the
Year and was a two-time winner
of the National Press Photogra-
phers Award for Science Pictures
of the year. He has published 19
photographic books for both chil-
dren and adults, and his photo-
graphs have appeared in numer-
ous international news sources,
school textbooks, and advertise-
ments.

A
s the holiday season begins to
wind to a close, we want to
take this opportunity to thank
everyone who stepped up to help those
in need. This time of year usually
brings out the best in people. Judging
from the number of announcements
we received from our readers regard-
ing donation drives, it looks like this
year was no exception.
This year, Hurricane Sandy created
a great need in many communities.
Food banks were running low after
sending supplies to those communities
hit hard by the storm. The same with
those who help with clothing, and even
toys.
In many instances, that meant that
nonprofits and those who work every
day to help folks who are struggling
had an even more difficult task. Dona-
tions, supplies and funds that, in other
years, went to fill traditional annual
needs instead went to the storm vic-
tims. Theres no doubt that even more
generosity was needed this year than
in most just to get by.
Over the past few weeks, we have
had the pleasure of publishing stories
about efforts to lend a hand. Indeed,
many of these efforts were to help
those impacted by the storm. But, like
always, there were the usual Toys for
Tot drives and more. We dont keep a
formal count of the number of holiday
fundraising event stories we publish
from year to year, but it certainly
seemed that, in 2012, there were many
more than in years past.
So, we thank those individuals and
groups who organized these efforts.
And, on behalf of them, we also thank
everyone who picked up an extra can
of non-perishable food, an additional
bag of dog food, one more toy and
more. To all of those who reached a lit-
tle deeper into their wallets this year to
help out, your generosity truly made a
difference.
We wish everyone a happy holiday
season and hope for a hurricane-free
2013.
in our opinion
Happy holidays!
A thank you to everyone who helped to brighten the season for those in need
Stepping up
Hurricane Sandy created an even
greater need for toys, food, clothing
and more this holiday season. Judging
from the number of donation efforts
we saw, local communities really came
through for those in need.
A team of 52 employees, family mem-
bers and Special Olympics athletes partici-
pated in Jingle All the Way on Dec. 2 to
raise money for Special Olympics New Jer-
sey (SONJ).
Together, they collected more than $3,000
in donations.
This annual event features a competitive
road race and a fun run, and the Hinkle,
Fingles and Prior team joined over 500 par-
ticipants at the SONJ Sports Complex on
Princess Road in Lawrenceville.
Many participants wore festive holiday
costumes, custom team t-shirts or funny
holiday hats.
The Hinkle, Fingles and Prior team was
led by Team Captain Maria Fischer, who is
an attorney with the firm and whose
daughter, Traci, is an SONJ athlete. Traci
trains and competes year-round in soccer,
cross country skiing, basketball and track
and field, as well as participates in unified
volleyball, where teams are made up both
SONJ athletes and members of the com-
munity.
Traci was chosen to compete on Team
New Jersey at the 2010 National Games in
Lincoln, Neb., and is a Global Messenger,
trained in public speaking so she can rep-
resent SONJ in public presentations, at
events, and to the media.
Her latest involvement is as a member of
Athlete Congress, a group of 23 athletes
from across the state who are empowered
to voice their opinions and recommend a
course of action about various facets of
the year-round sports training and athletic
competition program.
In addition to Traci, six other SONJ ath-
letes joined the Hinkle, Fingles and
Prior team at the race, including Ireland
Kosco who competes in Aquatics.
As a long-time corporate partner with
SONJ, we are extremely proud to have
such a large turnout for this years event,
a partner with the firm S. Paul Prior, Esq.
said. Two of our employees have children
who are Special Olympics athletes. They,
along with the other SONJ athletes on our
team, are inspirational to us all and serve
to remind us of our firms mission.

Hurricane-damaged properties
may qualify for reassessment
This notice was provided by
Mercer County Tax Administra-
tor Martin Guhl.
If your property suffered ma-
terial damage as a direct result
of Super storm Sandy, you may
qualify for a reduction of your
property assessment for 2013.
Normally, all properties are val-
ued in the condition in which
they existed on Oct. 1 of the pre-
tax year, or as of Oct. 1, 2012 for
the upcoming 2013 tax year. There
is an exception to this law, which
applies when a property suffers
material damage such as a
major fire or other significant
damage after Oct. 1 of 2012 and
before Jan. 1 of 2013. In such cir-
cumstances, the property owner
would be required to notify the
Tax Assessor of their town in
writing, prior to Jan. 10 of 2013,
in order to receive an assessment
adjustment. However, in the case
of this particular storm, the State
of New Jersey has given asses-
sors instructions to actively seek
out property owners who may
have difficulty providing this no-
tice due to hardship associated
with the storm. Written notice is
still required, but in some cases
the local assessor will able to
proactively identify eligible prop-
erties and apply an adjustment
for those properties which may
have been extensively damaged,
left uninhabitable or totally de-
stroyed. This is being done in
recognition of the extreme hard-
ship placed upon some property
owners who have lost their homes
or temporarily are unable to oc-
cupy their homes.
In Mercer County, because the
damages are generally more lim-
ited in nature than in the shore
townships, the assessors face a
difficult task in being able to es-
tablish which properties are dam-
aged and to what extent they are
damaged. Accordingly, it is im-
portant for any property owner
who has suffered significant dam-
age to write or email your asses-
sor and let them know your name,
address, phone number, block and
lot, and the nature and extent of
the damages suffered due to this
storm. If you have repair cost es-
timates, let the assessor know and
make these estimates readily
available to the assessor. You
should do this as soon as possible
and no later than Jan. 10 of 2013.
A form has been prepared, which
will be of assistance in providing
this information and is available
at nj.gov/counties/mercer/com-
missions/pdfs/tax_materialdam-
agesandy.pdf.
If you will complete repairs by
Jan. 1 of 2013, you do not need to
contact the assessor, as no adjust-
ment should be made under such
a circumstance. However, if you
will continue to have a signifi-
cantly damaged property beyond
Jan. 1, you will want to contact
your assessor. There is no other
way that any assessor can be cer-
tain that they have identified all
of the significantly damaged
properties in their towns. Finally,
please bear in mind that any
property receiving a damage ad-
justment will be subject to an
added assessment once the re-
pairs are completed.
If you have any questions on
this issue, you may contact your
local tax assessor at your munici-
pal offices. A list of tax assessors
and their office numbers is avail-
able at nj.gov/counties/mercer/
commissions/tax/assessors.htm.
You may also contact the office of
the Mercer County Tax Adminis-
trator at (609) 989-6704.

ful information is itemized on

tion of any structure(s), the asses-

quired for any repair work in-
