Students participate in Challenge Day
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Sun
On Oct. 7 and 8, almost 200 stu-
dents at Lawrence High School
participated in the districts first-
ever Challenge Day, a non-profit,
nationwide program designed to
break down barriers between stu-
dents, stop bullying and encour-
age students to make relation-
ships outside their typical group
of friends.
Challenge Day kicked off the
annual, state-declared Week of
Respect, and was made possible
through a grant from the
Lawrence Township Education
Foundation.
The mission of Challenge Day
is to provide youth and their com-
munities with experiential work-
shops and programs that demon-
strate the possibility of love and
connection through the celebra-
tion of diversity, truth and full ex-
pression, according to challenge-
day.org.
The idea to bring this program
to Lawrence came from LHS new
assistant principal, Alyson Fisch-
er, who came to the district last
year from Jackson Memorial
High School.
After participating in the pro-
gram at Jackson and observing
its success, Fischer wanted to
bring it to LHS to infuse more
character education.
We wanted to have a more co-
hesive, characterized program;
we do good things, have good
service learning groups, but no
cohesive message to the entire
school, she said. I knew what it
would do for staff and students,
and we can move on and have big-
ger character education events to
reach more students.
Fischer said 191 students par-
took in the event, along with 55
adults, consisting of staff mem-
bers throughout the district and
community members. Challenge
Day requires a 4-1 ratio of stu-
dents to adults.
They absolutely loved it, Fis-
cher said. We did a survey to get
a sense if it was worth it, did they
enjoy it, if they wanted to see it
again. Only one student out of
the entire group said they would-
n't participate in it again, but
commented that they thought it
would make a difference at the
high school.
Since Challenge Day is a 6 1/2-
hour workshop designed for 100
students, LHS had to split the
event into two days. Both days
consisted of the same activities,
just different groups of students
and adults.
Each day, the program began
with a series of icebreakers de-
signed to help adults and students
Special to The Sun
Around 200 students at Lawrence High School participated in Challenge Day on Oct. 7 and 8, which helps students become the catalyst for
change in a world of bullying and disrespect. Students are shown participating in one of the many exercises of the program in LHS gym.

On Sunday, Nov. 3,
Lawrenceville Main Street invites
residents to join it at Weeden
Park in downtown Lawrenceville
for its Fall Clean-Up.
The event will take place from
1 to 3 p.m. at the park, located at
the corner of Craven Lane and
Route 206.
Volunteers will walk through
town and pick up trash and litter
on Route 206 near the white
church in downtown to where
Wildflowers is, said Lindsey
Bohra, director of LMS.
Thats our footprint; any-
where theres a business in the
village of Lawrenceville, she
said.
Bohra said there is going to be
a variety of volunteers helping
out at this seasons event, includ-
ing students and staff from The
Lawrenceville School, students
from Lawrence High School, Har-
vest Chapel Church members and
local Girl Scouts.
This year, members of Rider
Serves, the student service group
at Rider University, are also com-
ing to help the effort.
We would like to start giving
back to the community, Bohra
said. We wanted to involve the
university, so its wonderful that
they want to get involved.
Jean Dickey, director at the Of-
fice of Student Services at The
Lawrenceville School, organizes
the cleanup and has been doing so
since its inception more than 16
years ago.
Her late husband, Will, who
was a professor at The
Lawrenceville School, started
LMS, so she uses her vision to
keep it going, Bohra said. Will
saw there was a need for a vibrant
downtown, because at the time,
there were all boarded up build-
ings, which is why he spearhead-
ed LMS.
In memory of Will, each year
LMS awards the William May-
hew Dickey Medal to a volunteer
member of the Lawrenceville
community, Bohra said.
The Lawrenceville School dis-
poses of the leaves the volunteers
collect at the event another way
the school continues to give back
to the community.
Its a really nice event, Bohra
said. You dont have to stay the
whole time. Its a great way to get
involved, and we provide cider
and donuts for the volunteers.
LMS will provide rakes, trash
bags and other cleaning materi-
als, but people are also encour-
aged to bring their own garden
tools.
LMS does bi-annual clean ups
in fall and spring. Its next event is
the Spring Clean-Up, which will
take place at the end of March.

V
oting is one of the inalienable
rights that our forefathers
fought so fervently for so
many years ago. Many would say that
voting is one of the most important in-
alienable rights that we have as Amer-
icans, if not the most important in-
alienable right.
Colonial Americans fought for inde-
pendence in the 1700s based on the ral-
lying cry of no taxation without rep-
resentation, and they wanted the
right to choose their own representa-
tion.
Over the following 200 years, three
major pieces of legislation extended
or ensured voting rights:
The Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution gave voting rights to non-
white males;
The Nineteenth Amendment gave
women the right to vote;
And The Voting Rights Act of 1965
prevented discrimination in voting.
A lot of time and effort was spent,
and blood was shed, to give all citizens
of the United States over the age of 18
the right to vote.
And now, it is up to you to take ad-
vantage of that right at the polls for
the General Election next Tuesday,
Nov. 5.
Up for election are the states gover-
nor a race between Republican in-
cumbent Chris Christie and Democrat
Barbara Buono the states lieutenant
governor a race between Republican
Kim Guadagno and Democrat Milly
Silva as well as local positions.
In this weeks Sun, you will find in-
formation on exactly what you are vot-
ing for, when polls are open and details
on every polling location in town.
If you have further questions about
the election, you can always find infor-
mation on the countys website or call
your local clerk.
Whatever your political slant or
whomever you may be voting for, just
make sure you make your way to the
polls next Tuesday. Many people be-
fore us fought for your inalienable
right to do so.
in our opinion
Its time to vote
Head to the polls next Tuesday to elect your leaders

relax, step out of their comfort
zones and have fun.
Leaders from the California-
based program discussed societal
pressures teenagers often face,
shared personal life experiences
and led a discussion on oppres-
sion and how it affects high
school students.
Participants then joined in on
exercises such as if you really
knew me and crossed the line
for life experiences they shared,
creating a common bond among
the people in the room.
Crossing the line was a clear,
concrete visual as to how the
adults and students experience
life's tribulations together and
that we can be the change if we
stop the cycle of negativity and
look for the good in each other,
said Jo Ann Groeger, Lawrence
Township Public Schools Board
of Education member and Chal-
lenge Day participant.
Fischer said she showed the
students a quick clip from the
MTV series, "if you really knew
me," before the workshop to give
them an idea of what the pro-
gram would entail.
It's a really powerful, emotion-
al program, she said. Students
come out of it supercharged to go
and change the world. We want
that to continue the whole year,
and that's the point of the follow-
up programs reminding them
about Challenge Day and to
spread what they learned to the
rest of the student population.
There were 900 students that
werent involved, but it doesn't
mean they won't be changed as a
result; our goal is to improve the
climate of the school.
Each of the days programs
concluded when students Spoke
Out, making apologies and ex-
tending thanks, as well as talking
about how they can be leaders to
the rest of the school.
LHS formed a Be the Change
committee that will meet
throughout the year and lead ac-
tivities that will help spread the
Challenge Day message to the
rest of the high school and com-
munity, Fischer said.
She also said the event will be
more concentrated in future
years.
Next year and moving for-
ward, we're going to restrict it to
one grade or two because we
know it's going to be more popu-
lar because the buzz around it has
been so positive, she said.
Since 1987, Challenge Day has
served more than 1 million youth
in 400 cities, 47 states and five
provinces of Canada, according
to its website.

gram, go to challengeday.org.
HomeFront Thanksgiving Drive underway to help local families
Every year around this time,
HomeFront, a local non-profit
committed to helping local home-
less and vulnerable families, be-
gins making sure that these
needy families will still have a full
and festive Thanksgiving dinner.
During the HomeFront
Thanksgiving Drive, which has
just been launched for 2013, local
individuals, families, groups,
houses of worship and corpora-
tions donate baskets filled with
all the trimmings for a traditional
home-cooked Thanksgiving meal.
HomeFronts goal for 2013 is to
provide enough food for 1,000 fam-
ilies for Thanksgiving Day and
beyond. Participants in the
Thanksgiving Drive are being
urged to add a little extra to
each basket cans of tuna, soup,
peanut butter and other essen-
tials to help these needy families
when the leftovers are done.
All individuals and groups who
want to participate in Home-
Fronts Thanksgiving Drive
should call (609) 989-9417, ext. 133
for more information and a list of
the food needed. The filled bas-
kets can be dropped off at Home-
Fronts offices located at 1880
Princeton Ave. in Lawrenceville,
from now until Thursday, Nov. 21.
Donations can be dropped off
Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to
5 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m.
until noon.
Every year, homeless and low-
income families face special chal-
lenges and the current economic
crisis has had a huge impact on
the working class. Over the years,
HomeFront has seen an increase
in the number of requests for as-
sistance from families facing cri-
sis. On Food Days, HomeFront
gives out food packages to more
than 900 clients per month; and
each day an increasing number of
new clients are unable to feed
their families.
These families really need
your help this year, said Connie
Mercer, executive director of
HomeFront. The days before
Thanksgiving are always busy
times at our offices, with lines
winding out the door to pick up
the makings for a traditional
Thanksgiving week. Thanksgiv-
ing celebrates the birth of our na-
tion. There is no better time to
reach out and help these families
in crisis, our fellow citizens, our
neighbors, have a happy holiday
as well.
HomeFront provides a compre-
hensive network of services for
the poor and homeless in Central
Jersey, with a particular focus on
families. For information about
how you can help, visit home-
frontnj.org or call (609) 989-9417.

more nurses through better pay and
benefits, but that is not always the
case. As an attorney who handles
nursing home neglect cases, I know
that many claims are filed due to
inadequate staffing in relation to
the number of patients these facili-
ties have. In my experience, these
decisions are at times based upon
profit measures for the facility which
do not take into account the need
for an increase in staff and do not
prioritize patient care.
To help you in choosing a nurs-
ing home for your loved one, the
NJ Department of Health has
established a nursing staff to
patient ratio quarterly report that
can be accessed online. The
report shows staff to patient ratios
at nursing homes for registered
nurses, licensed practical nurses,
and certified nursing assistants.
This can be accessed at the
following link:
http://nj.gov/health/healthcare-
cally, yes. Each and every adult
needs a power of attorney to
authorize a trusted adult to act on
his or her behalf to handle finan-
cial, day-to-day business, and med-
ical decisions. The two main types
of powers of attorney are the gen-
eral durable power of attorney and
the medical power of attorney.
2.) How will I pay for long-term
care if an illness strikes? Its not
something you look forward to
thinking about; however, consider
that the cost of one year of nurs-
ing home care, in a private room,
hovers around $110,000 (perhaps
$220,000 if both spouses require
care) in the South Jersey area.
Our firm helps thousands of
clients figure out exactly how to
pay for their care and continue to
provide for their family, whether
through the use of private funds,
long-term care insurance, or
through Medicaid.
3.) Will my heirs pay taxes when
I die? It depends on a number of
factors, including where you
reside, the value of your entire
estate, and who receives your
assets. The recent federal law
changes do not make any changes
to the NJ Estate and Inheritance
taxes and it is just as important
now as it ever was to plan for New
Jerseys paltry estate tax exemp-
tion of $675,000 as well as the New
Jersey inheritance tax. These taxes
can range anywhere from 4.5 per-
cent to 16 percent.
As with all estate planning, the
sooner you consult with an attor-
ney and map out a plan, the more
money youll be able to protect,
and the more choices you will
have. But, its never too late to start.
Protect the ones you love.

Three legal issues New Jersey seniors need to consider
Elder law is an area of legal
practice that serves the senior
population. The bulk of Rothamel
Brattons elder law work is focused
on helping families pay for long-
term care. Qualifying for
Medicaid is incredibly important
to millions of families. However,
just as important are many other
areas of elder law such as financial
planning, estate planning and
elder abuse prevention.
Although there are many facets
to elder law and estate planning,
lets just consider three of the basics
that are often on peoples minds.
1.) Do I need a power of attor-
ney? The bottom line to the ques-
tion is, absolutely and unequivo-
Nursing home neglect
By Sherri L. Warfel, Esquire
Between 1946 and 1964,
America experienced a population
explosion referred to as the baby
boom. More than 76 million peo-
ple were born during this time and
there has not been a population of
this size before or since. Baby
boomers, now in the age range of
48 to 66, bring with their aging the
need for medical care.
Consequently, nursing home
construction has accelerated in the
past decade contributing to a short-
age of nurses and qualified staff at
these facilities. The Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality
indicates that facilities with low nurs-
ing levels tend to have higher rates
of poor patient care. Studies indi-
cate that low nursing levels are asso-
ciated with an increase of facility
acquired infections, pressure sores
and falls.
One would think that nursing
homes would attempt to alleviate
this health-care hazard by attracting
quality/nhstaffing.shtml.
Good luck in finding the right
health care facilities in the future.
If you or a loved one has a nursing
home issue, please feel free to con-
tact me at 800-PRA-LAWS or for
more information visit my firms
website at www.pralaw.com.
