Life lessons
at heart of
recreation
programs
By KRISTEN DOWD
The Lawrence Sun
The Lawrence Township
Recreation Department is not
in the business of turning out
professional basketball play-
ers or Olympic-bound swim-
mers. The members of its
community band are not nec-
essarily headed to Carnegie
Hall. The departments junior
master gardeners may not
turn out any horticultural dis-
coveries in their lifetime.
Sure, it could happen.
But the Lawrence Township
Recreation Department is in
the business of something
much more important than
prestige. Its about life lessons,
explained Recreation Superin-
tendent Steve Groeger, which
program participants will
keep with them forever.
Its not so much about
being an athlete or being a mu-
sician, said Groeger. Its
about the opportunity to learn
things. From these activities,
the life skills and social skills
you develop being a part of a
team, learning to win and lose,
striving to improve yourself
all these things you gain you
will use in your adult life
when youre out in the real
world.

Students to perform Xanadu
By JIM WRIGHT
The Lawrence Sun
Lawrence High School stu-
dents will be taking audiences to
a place called Xanadu this
weekend.
The students will be presenting
the rock musical March 8, 9 and
10 at 7 p.m. in the high school au-
ditorium.
The production is based on the
1980 romantic musical fantasy
film starring Olivia Newton-
John, Michael Beck and Gene
Kelly, and featured the music of
Newton-John, Cliff Richard, Elec-
tric Light Orchestra and The
Tubes. A stage musical of the
film opened on Broadway in 2007.
Weve always had success
with rock musicals, said director
Lori Baldwin. This is a new re-
lease, so we wanted to try it out.
The theme is so unique, the
production features a six-piece
rock band rather than a tradition-
al pit orchestra.
Its been awesome, said sen-
ior Michelle Dzieminski, who
plays Kira, the muse of dancing
and chorus. It is so high energy
all the time. Its really been lots of
fun.
Dzieminski, balancing on
roller skates next to Keith Costa,
who plays Sonny, the leading man
in the production, has appeared
in productions in every one of
her four years at Lawrence High
School.
I love acting and dancing,
she said. And this is the first
time Ive had a lead singing role
in a production, so thats really
great.

Lawrence High School will put on Xanadu on March 8 to 10 at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium.

The Lawrence Headquarters
Branch of the Mercer County Li-
brary System is sponsoring the
third-annual Trashed Art Con-
test.
The contest is designed to en-
courage people to consider trash
from a different viewpoint, and to
create an awareness of the useful-
ness of garbage. Change how you
look at your trash and let it in-
spire you to recycle it into art.
Artists are invited to submit
one piece of original artwork in
any art medium and must use a
minimum of 75 percent recycled
content.
The criteria for recycled is
something that has been manu-
factured and would otherwise be
thrown away; look to yard sales,
dumpsters and the recycling bin
for inspiration.
There are two age categories
for this years contest, one for stu-
dents in grades 7 to 12 and one for
adults 18 and older who live in
Mercer County. All accepted art
entries will be publicly displayed
throughout the library during the
month of April. An artists recep-
tion will be held at the library on
Thursday, April 26, 6:30 to 8:30
p.m.
The deadline for entries is Fri-
day, March 30, and items must be
delivered to the Lawrence Head-
quarters Branch Library, 2751
Brunswick Pike (Bus. Route One),
Lawrenceville.
Entries will be judged Friday,
April 20 and winners will be noti-
fied by phone or email. The
Friends of the Lawrence Library
have generously donated the con-
test prizes: Amazon gift cards,
which will be awarded for first,
second and third place in each of
the age categories.
The contest guidelines and
entry form can be picked up at
the Lawrence Headquarters
Branch Library reference desk or
by emailing lawprogs@mcl.org.
For more information about
the contest, contact Karen Serach

Meals on Wheels is seeking vol-
unteers to deliver food to the
homebound in the Trenton area
Monday through Friday.
Our volunteers are the eyes
and heart of our organization.
Generally, they are the only peo-
ple who interact with our clients
on a daily basis. They partner
with our clients families to en-
sure they remain healthy and in-
dependent, said Michael Schae-
fer, director of volunteers. We
have a wonderful group of volun-
teers here at Meals on Wheels.
However, our list constantly fluc-
tuates. During the winter months,
we are especially in need of ade-
quate volunteers.
After a short training session,
volunteers have the option to
serve as a runner, delivering
meals directly to the homebound,
or they can choose to drive the
runners to each home. Volunteers
can commit to one day a week,
one day a month or on an as-
needed basis. The time commit-
ment is usually two hours per
week.
Routes are available in Trenton
and Ewing.
Please check the website at
www.mowte.org for more infor-
mation.
If you are interested in volun-
teering or for more information,
log on to www.mowte.org (click on

in our opinion
T
heres not a lot that Gov.
Christie does that doesnt pro-
voke a heated response from
someone, somewhere. Budget cuts, ed-
ucation reform, you name it, shortly
after the governor stops talking, some-
one tears into his proposal. And thats
not a bad thing. We mention it to point
out that the governor has a habit of
diving head-first into controversy
over and over again.
However, the governor is now back-
ing a constitutional amendment to re-
form the bail system in the state. Its a
move that he calls common sense.
We agree.
The measure would allow judges to
consider such things as the defen-
dants past dangerous behavior before
sending that person back out onto the
streets, often to cause more problems,
intimidate witnesses, etc.
This is a proposal that should re-
ceive widespread, bi-partisan support.
Its a move that is long overdue. Its a
move that will keep people safe and
help law enforcement put people be-
hind bars and keep them there.
The governor points to a number of
statistics from a 2007 study by the Bu-
reau of Justice Statistics to support
his measure: about one-third of re-
leased defendants were charged with
one or more types of pretrial miscon-
duct; nearly one-fourth had a bench
warrant issued for failing to appear;
and about one-sixth were arrested for
a new arrest with more than half of
these new arrests for felonies.
Indeed, at some point, someone is
going to object to depriving someone
who is not convicted of his or her con-
stitutional rights. And thats a reason-
able debate to hold.
But well side with the governor on
this one. Defendants who have a histo-
ry of violence, who are a threat to the
community, and who are likely to try
to intimidate witnesses against them
need to be locked up.
Its time to take a stand for public
safety. Passing this amendment would
do just that.
Yes to bail reform measure
Heres one Christie proposal that should be widely supported
Bail reform a smart move
Reform could give judges an opportu-
nity to keep dangerous people off the
streets unable to commit additional
crimes or to intimidate those testify-
ing against them.
camps that are planned for the impending
warm weather. Its a wide range, according
to Groeger, and even though there are not
any new programs this year, the offerings
are extensive.
Everything we did last year, were
doing again, said Groeger. I think we had
a good summer last year. The programs all
had a different number of attendees, but
they were all certainly well attended.
One of the most popular programs is
swimming lessons, offered in both spring
and summer. The recreation department
operates the pool when the high school is
not using it, which is typically evenings,
nights, weekends and during the summer.
The lessons include different levels for
ages and skill sets.
Tennis lessons and lacrosse two more
spring offerings are also very popular,
said Groeger. Baseball, basketball, football,
field hockey and wrestling are just some of
the other sports children can take advan-
tage of through the spring and summer
programming.
Of course, the recreation department
goes far beyond sports and swimming. The
towns senior citizen center and nature
center are part of its operations, and the of-
fice coordinates special events in town, in-
cluding the upcoming Easter egg hunt, Me-
morial Day festivities and fireworks on the
Fourth of July. In the summer, camps span
such topics as all-around safety, art and
theater, and a travel camp, bringing partici-
pants to such places as Camel Beach or
Great Adventure.
The recreation department is responsi-
ble for promoting and providing recre-
ational and leisure opportunities to all the
residents of Lawrence, Groeger said.
That spans athletics, arts, classes. We do
the garden lots. Its a wide range.
Groeger said the recreation department
is not often approached with requests for
new programs or classes.
Between what is already offered and
what is offered by independent groups in
town, Groeger explained. There really
arent many things not being provided.
However, residents are always welcome
to share their input with the department.
In fact, it was community interest that
spurred one of the departments fastest
growing sports programs.
Thats how we actually started
lacrosse, said Groeger. There was a num-
ber of residents who had children playing
in other towns.
The spring lacrosse program, which
started with about a dozen participants, is
now up to 90 boys and 20 to 30 girls.
Groeger said all programs are well-at-
tended, and its important to sign up early
to ensure your child gets a spot in the
sport, camp or activity they desire.
Some registration is underway, and
swimming registration begins on March
14.
All the research that you see on health
and wellness is that our children and
even our adults are not healthy and fit,
said Groeger. The recreation department
programs, he added, can improve these sta-
tistics.
The recreation departments spring and
summer brochure is available online at
www.lawrencetwp.com/recreation/springcal-
endar.pdf. A limited number of hard copies
are available at the Lawrence Township
Recreation Office, 2207 Lawrence Road.
Groeger said the department is always in
need of volunteers, and for anyone inter-
ested in volunteering, call (609) 844-7067 or
email sgroeger@lawrencetwp.com.

Its pretty crazy, she said of
rehearsals. There are a lot of
big-group numbers, songs and
crazy costumes. Its a very comi-
cal show.
The rehearsals have been going
well, she said, with the cast run-
ning through the first and second
acts of the production with props
last week.
Right now, were just making
the last-minute changes to the
lighting and props, she said.
In the show, Sonny is a talented
artist who dreams of fame be-
yond his uncreative job of paint-
ing larger versions of album cov-
ers for record-store window ad-
vertisements. As the production
opens, he is broke as a freelance
artist and on the verge of giving
up his dream. He returns to his
old job and, after some humorous
run-ins with his boss, he resumes
painting record covers.
One of those covers if for a
group called the Nine Sisters, fea-
turing a woman on roller skates
in front of an art-deco auditori-
um. The same woman had
kissed him that day during a
chance encounter and roller-skat-
ed away.
The woman the muse Ter-
pischore had sprung to life from
a nearby mural. Although she has
been sent to inspire those to pur-
sue their dreams, she ends up
falling in love with Sonny.
Sonny befriends a bandleader,
Danny McGuire, played by Gavin
Gronenthal in the production,
who has lost his muse in the past,
and Kira urges the two men to
form a partnership and open a
nightclub at the art-deco auditori-
um featured on the album cover.
Its lots of fun, Costa said of
the production. Its been a lot of
hard work because theres a lot of
intensive high-energy dance
numbers. Weve got people on
roller skates, and weve never had
that before.
Nonetheless, the senior is en-
joying getting ready for the pro-
duction, despite the three-and-a-
half hour rehearsals following a
full day of school.
They say if youre doing
something you love, youll never
work a day in your life, he said.
You just have to balance your-
self, Dzieminski said of the long
days.
It feels weird not to be here,
Costa said of days without re-
hearsals. You think What am I
going to do with myself today?
The play also features Natasha
Vargas as Melpomene; Rachel
Friedman as Calliope; Brian
Hamilton as Hermes; Walker
Sayen as Zeus; Allison Mark as
Hera; Hannah Donoghue as
Thetis; and Juliana Long as
Aphrodite.
Tickets for the show are $8 for
adults, $5 for students and $5 for
senior citizens, and will be avail-
able at the door.
