Summer events plentiful in Robbinsville
By JULIE STIPE
The Robbinsville Sun
This summer, Robbinsville
wants to keep you entertained.
From a Robbinsville day at Six
Flags Great Adventure to a relax-
ing concert by the lake whatever
your style, theres something for
you.
On Sunday, July 15, Rob-
binsville will hold its first Rob-
binsville Day at Six Flags Great
Adventure amusement park.
Recreation committee member
Craig Heilman brought the idea
to the recreation committee when
he joined last year, he said. Before
moving to Robbinsville, Heilman
lived in Pittsburgh, which had a
similar event, and he wanted to
bring the concept to Robbinsville.
The recreation department ap-
proved the idea in December, and
Heilman and other members of
the committee and recreation de-
partment have been working to
put the event together since then.
The event takes advantage of
the fact that Robbinsville is only
about 30 minutes from the popu-
lar amusement park Six Flags.
Residents will be able to gather
for a free breakfast at the senior
center, Heilman said, from 8 to 9
a.m., and will have the option to
ride air-conditioned buses to the
park and to ride the buses
through the parks safari.
At the park, the township will
have its own pavilion where Rob-
binsville residents can gather for
a buffet lunch from noon to 2 p.m.
The township will also have a
face-painter at the pavilion, Heil-
man said.
In the evening, the township
will cycle the buses back, said
Robbinsville recreation director
Joe Barker. Starting at 5 p.m., a
bus will leave for Robbinsville,
and buses will be available on the
hour until 8 p.m.
Barker said the idea is to create
an outing that appeals to families
and that fosters a sense of com-
munity.
Its all about the community
coming together, Barker said.
Heilman said that he hopes the
event will take place every year,
and that the township will be able
to make it even bigger in upcom-
ing years.
Special to The Sun
During July Jams summer concert last year, families gathered for a relaxing evening by the lake. The concerts will also take place at the
town center lake gazebo this year, and will take place on July 17, 24, and 31 at 7 p.m.

The following were taken from
reports on file with the Rob-
binsville Police Department.
On June 25 at 11:45 a.m., patrol
responded to a residence on
Walden Circle for a theft report.
The resident reported she had a
yellow and a blue purse, each val-
ued at $50 taken from in front of
her residence. Contained inside
the purses were a cell phone val-
ued at $100, several credit cards, a
NJ drivers license, Social Securi-
ty Card and $100 in cash.
On June 25 at 6 a.m., patrol re-
sponded to a business on Main

tion. A female and male were lo-
cated on scene. The male, a 38-
year-old Trenton man, was arrest-
ed for providing false information
and the female, a 39-year-old
Trenton woman, was arrested for
outstanding traffic warrants.
Both parties were charged and re-
leased pending court.
On June 26 at 3:34 p.m., patrol
observed a vehicle with a cracked
windshield and front tinted win-
dows traveling south on Route
130. Patrol conducted a motor ve-
hicle stop on Route 130 in the area
of Route 33. While speaking with
the occupants of the vehicle Pa-
trolman Kivet was able to detect
evidence of possible narcotics in-
side the vehicle. A subsequent
search revealed a small quantity
of marijuana. Both occupants, a
22-year-old Hamilton woman, and
a 19-year-old Hightstown woman,
were arrested, charged and re-
leased pending court.
On June 29, at 11:30 a.m., a pa-
trol was dispatched to a residence

The eye drops are valued at $98.
On June 30 at 2:57 a.m., patrol
observed a vehicle traveling
south in the northbound Route
130 lane in the area of Route 33.
After speaking with the driver Pa-
trolman Bakay determined she
might be intoxicated. The driver,
a 48-year-old Roebling woman,
was asked to step out of the vehi-
cle to perform several field sobri-
ety tests, which she failed. The
driver was arrested, charged and
released pending court.
On June 30, at 8:37 a.m., patrol

days July 17, 24, and 31 at 7 p.m.
come to the gazebo on Lake Drive
in Town Center for live music by
local bands. Rain dates are the
next day.
July 17 will feature Central Jer-
sey band Limited Slip playing
high-energy covers of popular
rock sings, both new and old. On
July 24, Trenton-based four-per-
son band Honey Spot Boulevard
will perform. With diverse influ-
ences like Jeff Buckley, Frank
Zappa, and Mozart, the band de-
scribes themselves as a
rock/pop/funk/blues group that
loves to keep the crowd guessing.
The Billy Walton Band will
play on July 31 with talented gui-
tarist Billy Walton, bassist
William Paris, saxophonist
Ritchie Taz, and drummer John-
ny DAngelo. The band plays hard
blues influenced by Waltons ex-
periences performing at the Jer-
sey shore, the jam band tradition,
and the likes of Jimmy Hendrix
and Eric Clapton.
On Tuesday, Aug. 7, Rob-
binsville will hold its annual Na-
tional Night Out celebration,
hosted by the Robbinsville Police
Department. The event will be
held from 6 to 10 p.m. on the bas-
ketball courts by the Robbinsville
police station.
Robbinsvilles Night Out has a
little bit of everything, accord-
ing to Lt. Michael Polaski. The
celebration is part of a national
crime and drug prevention event
sponsored by the National Associ-
ation of Town Watch.
The original concept was the
community coming together to
fight crime, Polaski said.
The event will feature police
dog demonstrations, free food, a
moon bounce, a dunk tank, games
and a DJ.
In the past, Polaski said, the
fire department has demonstrat-
ed how it extricates victims from
crashed vehicles.
The Night Out is very popular,
Polaski said, and last year it drew
more than 1,000 people.
Its a very large event, Polas-
ki said, especially when the
weather is good. Its been tremen-
dously successful.
The event has been running for
7 or 8 years, Polaski said. Other
townships have similar events
but many of these have stopped
running for lack of funds. Rob-
binsville is lucky, Polaski said, be-
cause it is able to run the event
entirely off local donations of
food, equipment, and cash.
Weve been pretty fortunate,
Polaski said.

H
e sat there, with a blank face,
as he heard he was guilty on
45 of 48 charges of sexual
abuse of minors. And its likely Jerry
Sandusky, the former Penn State assis-
tant football coach who went so far as
to start a charity for neglected chil-
dren, will never see the light of day
again once hes sentenced in Septem-
ber.
And when that sentence comes
down, is there any doubt it will be just?
Regardless of what the sentence is,
the entire Sandusky ordeal is a re-
minder of just how important it is for
people to speak up on the matter of
sexual abuse.
If youre a witness to such an atroci-
ty, you must speak up and let the au-
thorities know.
If you are a family member of an
abuser or of someone who has been
abused you must let the authorities
know. And if youre a victim, as
painful as it might seem, you must
speak up and you must let the author-
ities know. For if weve learned any-
thing from this case, its just how im-
portant one voice could be if its used
wisely. If someone anyone had spo-
ken up in the 1990s, its possible others
could have been spared from this mon-
ster and his sickening abuse.
And, weve also learned, quite clear-
ly, that as painful as it is for those who
were abused to speak up, doing so
could very well lead to justice being
served and it could lead to sexual
predators being stopped in their
tracks.
All it takes is one conversation: to a
loved one, to a teacher, to a police offi-
cer. And the rest will be taken care of,
with luck, swiftly and justly. Sandusky
is where he belongs behind bars. And
if one just one more predator can be
taken off the streets because someone,
somewhere speaks up after thinking of
this case, then it will be all worth it in
the end.
No one, ever, should have to go
through what those kids went through.
Ever again.

Greetings from your school district! In
spite of the recent heat-wave, I hope you
are finding ways to stay cool and enjoy
some of the fun summertime has to offer.
Congratulations Class of 2012!
On June 19, we held our graduation cele-
bration with the Class of 2012 emphasizing
once again the power and potential of Rob-
binsville Schools. Of the 214 members in
the graduating class, 98 percent are mov-
ing on to higher education. Mortarboards
decorated with the mascots and logos of a
wide array of outstanding colleges and
universities added a festive touch to the
ceremony. In his valedictory address, Chris
Karousatos shared some powerful and
heartfelt thoughts with his classmates.
In my speech to our graduates, I issued a
challenge to students. I asked them to
make an intentional choice to use the ad-
vantages they have gained as Robbinsville
students to address some of the complicat-
ed problems our world faces. With our po-
litical and educational systems in gridlock
and our financial system in need of wis-
dom and accountability, I believe that the
Robbinsville Class of 2012 can choose to
make a difference and making that choice
will be part of what makes us all better.
Board of Education Update
At its June 26 meeting, the Robbinsville
Board of Education paid homage to many
of Robbinsville High Schools premiere
athletes. Athletic Director Curtis Wyers
provided highlights of the 2012 Spring sea-
son calling attention to a wide variety of
individual and team triumphs. He noted
that during the past five years 110 RHS stu-
dents have continued their athletic careers
on the college level. This year proves to be
no exception. More than 40 of our gradu-
ates will continue competing in their cho-
sen sport(s) next year, 10 of them at NCAA
Division I schools!
The board meeting also included the An-
nual Report on Violence, Vandalism, and

incidents where students mis-
treat each other, the data is reflec-
tive of a community of students
who understand the power of
working together and the impor-
tance of an environment in
which differences are the basis
for respect and indicative of
strength. Coupling a student com-
munity who understands the
power of interpersonal harmony
with intellectual power and a
strong work ethic gives me hope
for the future of our country and
community.
Expansion and Renovation
of K-8 Facilities
In looking ahead to September
and beyond, our current K-8 facil-
ities continue to be overcrowded.
Given that both Sharon and Pond
Road Schools are already operat-
ing with several hundred stu-
dents above their prescribed in-
structional capacity, it is time for
the community to collectively de-
cide the best next steps. The
Board of Education has arrived
at a plan that expands and remod-
els current facilities to meet the
needs of the community into the
foreseeable future. The plan, slat-
ed for a public vote in December,
comes in at less than half the cost
of building a stand-alone school
($39.7 million referendum for new
school was rejected by voters in
March 2010) yet accomplishes all
of the major goals associated
with an expansion.
I am very pleased that the
Board of Education was willing
to go back to the drawing
board, taking no option off the
table so that a comprehensive and
sensible plan was reached. By
adding classrooms to Sharon
School, increasing core space,
and renovating facilities at both
Pond and Sharon, the district will
have three facilities that reflect
the standard of excellence expect-
ed by the district, parents and the
community at a reasonable cost.
With annual caps on spending,
our district can simply no longer
afford to use temporary solutions
to a permanent problem. Again,
please stay connected to the
school district website to receive
up-to-date information about fa-
cility planning or events that are
scheduled to provide detailed in-
formation about the expansion
plan.
Our offices are staffed all sum-
mer in the event that any ques-
tions arise. I trust that each of
you will have an opportunity to
enjoy some time away with fami-
ly and friends in order to rest and
refresh.
