Sale of
municipal
properties
considered
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
At Lawrences Township
council meeting on June 19,
municipal engineer James
Parvesse gave a presentation
on the potential sale of select
municipal properties as a rev-
enue source.
Parvesse, with the help of
Township Manager Richard
Krawczun, devised a list of
town-owned properties that
potentially could be sold to
generate revenue and dis-
played several blueprints of
the different sections of
Lawrence that contain these
properties.
Parvesses efforts were, in
part, due to the current eco-
nomic trouble that the town-
ship is experiencing. He and
Krawczun both agreed that
this plan has the potential to
fix a portion of the towns
deficit.
There were five categories
that Parvesse separated the
properties into contiguous
land with restrictions, con-
tiguous land without restric-
tions, land to be sold as a con-
forming lot (publicly bid), and
land that isnt zoned but will
be sold as a conforming lot.
The first category, property
that can be sold as contiguous
land with restrictions, means
the property can be used as ad-
ditional land to an existing ad-
School hosts anniversary picnic
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
On the night of June 14, you
may have noticed a lot of cars
packed onto the shoulders of
Princeton Pike near Benjamin
Franklin Elementary, which was
particularly crowded because of
the special picnic that was held at
the school for its 50th anniver-
sary.
The 50th anniversary picnic
was special to this year, but also
intertwined with Benjamin
Franklins annual end-of-the-year
picnic that is held during June.
Each year at this time, we
have a family picnic where the
families are invited to come and
bring their own picnic dinners,
but this year we have food, prin-
cipal of Benjamin Franklin Chris
Turnbull said. Because its our
50th anniversary, one of the
things we wanted to do was pro-
vide a loose atmosphere where
people could just kind of mingle,
catch up, and things like that, so
we wanted to try and have a little
something for everybody.
The picnic truly did incorpo-
rate something for everybody,
providing a variety of activities
for all ages. The events took place
mostly outside, but the inside of
the school was also a place of ac-
tivity with several tours and

Students from Mercer County
Community Colleges (MCCC)
Nursing program gathered at the
colleges Kelsey Theatre in late
May to celebrate both an ending
and a beginning.
Thirty-eight men and women
stood proudly in front of their
friends and family during a pin-
ning ceremony, marking the be-
ginning of a new career in nurs-
ing.
We are all about learning and
student success, and what a suc-
cess we are celebrating tonight,
MCCC President Patricia Dono-
hue said.
Dr. Guy Generals, MCCC vice
president for academic affairs,
thanked the graduates on decid-
ing to pursue one of the most self-
less careers.
You should be commended for
choosing this as a profession, he
said. Remember us and continue
to strive.
Presiding over the ceremonies
was Dr. Linda Martin, dean of
Science and Health Professions,
who gave words of encourage-
ment and praise for the graduat-
ing class. Among the honored
guests of the evening was Jane
Foy, a graduate of one of the first
nursing classes at Mercer.
Jane Plunkett of Lawrenceville
was the 2012 valedictorian.
This has been a challenging
and exciting journey for all of
us, Plunkett said, who made a ca-
reer change after 25 years in the
financial services industry. We
have supported each other
through the demands of our stud-
ies and the demands of our lives,
sharing in one anothers joys and
sorrows.
Plunkett made the decision to
go into nursing after raising her
own family. She said she had al-
ways wanted to have a helping
profession, and was glad she fi-
nally made the career change.
Raising three children and
caring for elderly parents made
me realize what a difference car-
ing health-care providers can
make, she said.
In her speech to her class-
mates, Plunkett reminded her fel-
low students that while many of
them had points during their
studies where they thought they
might not finish, by standing here
today they were proving them-
selves worthy of the nursing
field.
Each one of us who was called
to the profession must go forward
with pride and enthusiasm, be-
cause we DO have what it takes,
she said.
Students and faculty also
shared their gratitude to the fami-
lies of the nursing graduates, for
their patience and support during
years of rigorous studying and
preparing for their career.
Special to The Sun
This year, 38 students graduated from Mercer County Community Colleges (MCCC) Nursing program,
who were recognized at a pinning ceremony at Kelsey Theater in late May.
Local residents graduate from nursing program

jacent property, such as a yard.
With these properties, there is no
potential for subdivision (separat-
ing into several lots), since the
majority of them are either wet-
lands or flood plains. These types
of land are also typically worth
little, ranging from $1,000 to $3,000
per lot, according to Parvesse.
The second category is similar
to the first, but is contiguous land
with no restrictions. These prop-
erties allow the potential for sub-
division, meaning that neighbor-
ing lots could be combined for
building lots. However, the town-
ship would have to invest money
into the sale of these properties
for wetlands testing. These prop-
erties have a higher value be-
cause of their potential for subdi-
vision, ranging anywhere from
$15,000 to $25,000 per lot.
The third category, land to be
sold as a conforming lot, would
require the town to secure bids.
These properties could be used as
single lots or split into multiple
lots. Since these properties are
buildable as well and have more
potential, they have a significant-
ly higher value than the first and
second categories, ranging from
$40,000 to $50,000 per lot, accord-
ing to Parvesse. However, the
township would also have to in-
vest some money into the sale of
these lots for wetlands testing.
The fourth category is similar
to the third, but is land to be sold
as a conforming lot that isnt
zoned as residential, which would
need to be zoned to build upon it.
Although these lots would need to
be zoned, theyre worth the same
value as properties in the third
category $40,000 to $50,000 per
lot and require the same wet-
lands testing as categories two
and three.
The fifth category, property
that doesnt have benefits to the
adjacent landowner for building,
is similar to category one in re-
gard to its building potential.
These properties have absolutely
no developmental potential be-
cause theyre almost 100 percent
wetlands, wooded areas, or sec-
tions of odd-shaped land behind
existing structures and houses.
However, Parvesse highlighted
these items just to see what their
potential could be.
Parvesse gave each of the coun-
cil members a copy of the blue-
prints with the highlighted sec-
tions of Lawrence that he be-
lieves are sellable, which they
will independently review.
After Parvesses presentation,
Krawczun further explained that
if there were a consensus to sell
any parcels of land after each
member looked further into the
report, that would be discussed
and acted upon in the future, with
the involvement of the public.
However, Krawczun wanted to
note that the presentation
Parvesse gave was simply a gath-
ering of properties and inventory
that could be sold, not a definite
list.
This presentation by Jim is
not a hard and fast proposal,
Krawczun said. It is simply a
sorting of the properties that the
township owns. Thats very im-
portant because I dont want any-
body to leave here tonight think-
ing that this is a list of properties
that we are going to put up for
sale and upset neighbors. We will
go through a whole process.

in our opinion
T
he good news: New Jersey ac-
counted for 25 percent of all
new jobs created in the United
States in the month of May: 17,500 new
jobs were created.
The bad news: the states unemploy-
ment rate rose from 9.1 to 9.2 percent.
And lets be mindful: the 9.2 percent
figure really isnt an accurate unem-
ployment percentage at all.
There are countless people whose
unemployment benefits have run out,
and whose cases no longer count in de-
partment of labor statistics.
And there are others who may have
lost a job, who were ineligible for
umemployment benefits, and, again,
whose cases are not factored into the
state unemploment rate.
And so as encouraging as it is to
hear our state created the most new
jobs in the country, the overall known
unemployment numbers are still ex-
tremely alarming.
Gov. Christie says the new jobs re-
port means consumers are becoming
more confident.
The overall figures paint a complete-
ly different picture.
Were many years into this econom-
ic mess. And were still struggling as a
state, despite the so-called comeback.
While the governors 10 percent
across-the-board income-tax cut would
certainly help some, it certainly wont
help the middle class all that much.
A person making an annual salary
of $35,000 would see a whopping $1 a
week increase in take-home pay.
This is hardly enough to spark con-
sumer confidence.
Much more still needs to be done at
the federal and state levels to inspire
confidence. Realistically, the unem-
ployment percentage needs to drop to
close to 8 percent before theres any
reason for anyone to celebrate.
And even then, the numbers will
still be too high.
We look forward to the day we can
agree consumer confidence is back.
Were just not sure that time is here
yet.
States uptick in unemployment
Number rises despite creation of 17,500 new jobs; more must be done
How confident are you?
Gov. Christie says he believes con-
sumers in New Jersey are gaining
confidence. Yet the unemployment
rate jumped in May. How confident in
the economy are you? We want to
know.
memorabilia set up to educate people on
Benjamin Franklins school history.
Walking into the back yard of the
school, interactive exhibits were set up. In
the small lot by the side door, food was
served by Benjamin Franklins PTO, which
was unique to this year. It served every-
thing from pulled pork sandwiches from
Woodys Bar-BQ, to subs from Caf
Domenico, to soft pretzels that the third
graders were selling from the Philly Pret-
zel Factory.
Judy Duff, parent of a second grader at
Benjamin Franklin and PTO member who
helped serve food and organize the event,
explained how the inclusion of food at this
years picnic was really great since theyve
never arranged it like that before.
Duff also explained how she was happy
at the turnout for the event.
I was worried when we first started
planning this back in January, since its so
close to the summer and at a time when
theres a lot of baseball games and things
like that, but this is great, she said. Im
so excited that it turned out this well.
Duff, along with Turnbull, also high-
lighted the new food addition this year: the
popular Kona Shaved Ice truck that was a
huge hit, which served all flavors and sizes
of the infamous summertime treat.
After people acquired their food, most
people camped out in lawn chairs and on
blankets throughout the back yard of the
school to relax and converse with other
parents, teachers and alumni of the school.
They were also accompanied by a live DJ
who played songs from years 1961 until
2012, in honor of the 50th anniversary, and
announced the names of the songs and
which years they were from, which added
an interesting touch to the event.
As parents chatted with fellow parents
and teachers, hoards of current students at
Benjamin Franklin crawled through,
jumped on and explored the relatively new,
massive playground.
Tour guides for the event, alumnae of
Benjamin Franklin, and current Girl
Scouts of Troop 70785 Sarah Tennant,
Nishna Singh, and Veda Wendell explained
the construction of the playground that
took place only a couple of years ago as
part of the tours.
The school opened in 1961, and they
had an old playground that was wooden,
Singh said. They got a new one in 2004. It
was a huge community project.
Five-year secretary of Benjamin
Franklin, Lori Tennant, explained the rea-
soning behind the reconstruction of the
playground.
It was a huge playground, but, over
time, the carpenter bees got to it and it had
a lot of splinters, so they had to replace it,
she said.
Her daughter, Sarah, explained the other
highlights of the tour, which included the
two new additions that took place in 1963
and 2004. She described how the school
added a new gym, classrooms, an art room,
a music room, roof access, solar panels
and new offices with the 2004 addition.
The other addition that is currently in
the making is the schools new outdoor
classroom that is shaped like a kite to sym-
bolize former president Ben Franklins ex-
periments, Turnbull explained.
We call it the S.N.A.P. space, which is
an acronym for Science, Nature, Arts and
Pondering, he said. Its going to have na-
tive New Jersey pollinating plants, so its
going to attract butterflies and birds. There
will be different sections of it for different
things. There will be whiteboards that we
can take on and off walls for instruction, a

He also explained the progress
that the school has made with the
class, which should be available
by next spring.
Weve planted about one-third
of the plants, so once the plants
get up and running, well be able
to use it, he said. There are
walkways that kids can use and
walk through. We hope it ties into
the curriculum where they study
butterflies and lifecycles. They
study so many things that theyll
be able to then go out and see and
observe. There are all sorts of
teaching materials, guidebooks,
microscopes, binoculars and
things to go and use.
The other indoor event was
held in the gym, which show-
cased school memorabilia and
scrapbooks dating back to the
schools inception in 1961 that
showed all of the progress Ben-
jamin Franklin has made over
the years.
There was also information
about the bricks for the Peace
Garden Walkway, which will be
used to construct a personalized
walkway dedicated to the schools
50th anniversary located in front
of the school.
Aside from the picnic-friendly
food and tours, there was also a
selection of games and activities
that children could participate
in.
There was an area where chil-
dren could get airbrushed tattoos,
as well as an area in the back of
the school next to the DJ where
kids could participate in
relay races and other outdoor
games.
Although there was a plethora
of activities for children to partic-
ipate in, second grader Lily
Bowes enthusiastically explained
what her favorite part of the pic-
nic was, which seemed to be
many of the other students high-
light of the night as well.
I get to see my friends, she
said. Its great.
Overall, the event drew about
800 people, all of whom genuinely
enjoyed their time catching up
with old friends, teachers, or fel-
low parents and families to suc-
cessfully wrap up the school year
for Benjamin Franklin Elemen-
tary.
