lizing several of the existing
paved roadways within the 247-
acre park.
There are also plans to build
three new parking areas to ac-
commodate visitors to the new
trail.
Detailed design plans are being
prepared, and it is anticipated the
project will be ready for construc-
tion in 2014, Caliguire said.
The design is almost complet-
ed; we know where the trail is
going to go, he said. Were try-
ing to expedite the process if we
can. We would like to try to get
the loop open as soon as possible.
The problem is that the permit-
ting process for the state Depart-
ment of Environmental Protec-
tion takes some time; they dont
anticipate that we would have
permits done to open it in 2013,
which is why were projecting
2014.
An existing parking area
across Main Boulevard from Vil-
lage Elementary School has al-
ready been repaved and will have
access to the future trail.

School administrator
receives Distinguished
Service Award
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Montgomery Sun
Tom Venanzi, Montgomery
Township School District busi-
ness administrator and board
secretary, was recently honored
with a Distinguished Service
Award from the New Jersey As-
sociation of School Business Of-
ficials for his long-term, continu-
ous exemplary service.
As part of his award, Venanzi
was also given a $1,000 scholar-
ship to award to a senior of his
choice from Montgomery High
School. He chose graduating sen-
ior Lulu Chen.
My biggest thrill is to be able
to award a scholarship to a stu-
dent, Venanzi said. Lulu Chen
is one of our best students that
we have in MHS and is attending
Princeton University in the fall.
She worked with our board for
the last three years as our stu-
dent representative.
Venanzi has served as business
administrator for the MTSD
since 2007. He held the same posi-
tion at the Hillsborough School
District from 1987 to 2007, and in
the Somerville School District
from 1985 to 1986.
This is his first time receiving
the award.
This is a recognition from my
colleagues across the state, Ve-
nanzi said. Just to be nominated
is an honor, but to actually get
picked by association representa-

I
ts easy to forget that youth sports
are about having fun, staying ac-
tive and building character in
kids. With all the emphasis society
puts on winning whether it be on the
sports field, in the classroom, at work
or in social situations the goals of
youth sports often get lost in the shuf-
fle, hiding behind that key word:
Win!
Even more so in recent years, it
seems, high school sports have some-
how drifted away from the youth
label and become a highly competitive
training ground for future profession-
al athletes. This emphasis on succeed-
ing on the scoreboard is purely nega-
tive when it is the only focus, when its
a win-at-all-costs mentality, and
when it crosses the line.
A few weeks ago, The New Jersey
Interscholastic Athletic Association
the non-profit organization that over-
sees 425 accredited public, private and
parochial high schools in the state rep-
resenting high school athletics
passed new rules aimed at curbing
trash talking that attacks others based
on race, ethnicity and sexual orienta-
tion. Its a new rule that piggybacks on
the states recently-enacted anti-bully-
ing law.
Steve Goodell, an attorney for the
NJSIAA, said: Trash talking, were
not banning that. Were saying that
race-baiting, attacking ones race or
ethnicity, thats out of bounds.
And Steven Timko, the executive di-
rector of the NJSIAA, said: Obscene
gestures, profanity or unduly provoca-
tive language or action toward offi-
cials, opponents or spectators wont be
tolerated in the classroom or the field
of play.
Sounds simple and straightforward
enough: Being unsportsmanlike wont
be tolerated. But the announcement of
the rules received some backlash from
people asking when the policing, when
the Big Brother mentality, will finally
end. To that, we say, are you kid-
ding?
Its beyond us how anyone could
argue that promoting sportsmanship,
at any level youth, amateur or even
professional would be a bad thing. If
the NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, NCAA or
MLS passed an official rule like this,
the move would, and should, be ap-
plauded, not criticized. So lets get
real. Lets focus on whats important
here building character in our kids.
Take that trash talking elsewhere
Ban on some youth sports trash talking is a good idea
Your thoughts
What do you think about the NJSIAAs
new rule, and about sportsmanship in
youth sports nowadays? Let your voice
be heard through a letter to the editor.

Jr. National Young Leadership
Conference teaches children
What makes up a good leader? Who can
become a leader? Where do leaders come
from?
These are all questions I explored be-
tween June 23 and June 28 when I attended
the Jr. National Young Leadership Confer-
ence Alumni Boston.
About 100 other scholars and future
leaders going into grades six to nine joined
me in Boston for a week as we learned how
to become better leaders by observing
leadership actions of those from the past.
The first site visit scholars went to was
Plimoth Plantation.
First, we explored the Wampanoag vil-
lage where Wampanoag descendants re-
layed their view of the Pilgrims settling
on their land.
Their ancestors viewed the treaty be-
tween them and the Pilgrims as unfair be-
cause the Pilgrims got more rights and ad-
vantages even though the Wampanoag had
been there first.
After visiting the Wampanoag village,
we saw the other half of the story at the
Pilgrim village, where actors and actress-
es told us of their thoughts of the
Wampanoag.
They said they believed the natives to be
savages and they thought the treaty was
more than fair.
I better appreciated the meaning of a
compromise, which is useful when every-
ones needs must be taken into account.
On the second day, the scholars at the
conference explored tolerance and the un-
fortunate acts of intolerance that occurred
during the Salem Witch Trials.
We attended a show at the Salem Witch
Museum that showed how harmless story
telling about witchcraft from a Barbados
slave named Tituba escalated to 19 inno-
cent women and men being hung and one
man being pressed to death.
The people of Salem were afraid of the
unknown and therefore didnt tolerate the
differences that the witches portrayed.
I learned that tolerance is one of the
best qualities a leader can have, because
leaders have to work and put up with peo-
ple of all kinds of ideas, opinions and ar-

Committee awaits approval from
the DEP to discuss construction
Commission has done a lot of
work; it looks a lot better already,
Caliguire said. Theyre moving a
lot of concrete and asphalt right
now. Its a much bigger job than
we anticipated, but theyve done a
great job.
The buildings that were origi-
nally located on the property have
been demolished and the county
is currently removing all remain-
ing debris. To date, more than 140
loads of concrete have been re-
moved from the property.
An additional nine acres of as-
phalt and concrete paving will be
removed when the loop trail is
constructed.
We just want to get the park
open, Caliguire said. The coun-
ty is working diligently to design
and construct the trail so that the
public can access and enjoy the
property as soon as possible.
Caliguire said the committee is
currently awaiting approval from
the DEP to begin discussions
about construction.
Itll be at least a few months
before we get DEP approval, he
said. And we also have to go out
to bid for a construction company
after we get approval from the
DEP.
The ongoing cleanup and the
coordination of patrolling be-
tween the Somerset County Park
Rangers and the Montgomery
Township Police will ensure the
property will be safe and accessi-
ble to the public.
The committee will meet again
in the fall, sometime in Septem-
ber or October, to discuss the
progress of the cleanup and trail
development, as well as other pas-
sive recreational and conserva-
tion opportunities within the
park.
"Progress with Skillman Park
has been outstanding; it's really
starting to take shape, Mont-
gomery Mayor Ed Trzaska said.
I have received many messages
from excited residents about the
upcoming loop trail and how
much better the land is looking.
Once completed, this is going to
be a true gem for Montgomery
and the entire county."

Venanzi has more
than 28 years with
two school districts
tives at the state level is a tremen-
dous honor.
In nominating Venanzi for the
Distinguished Service Award,
Tim Stys, president of Somerset
County ASBO, said he considers
Venanzi the ultimate resource
in the county.
He has more than 28 years of
experience in two challenging
districts and has done an incredi-
ble job for these two communities
in Somerset County, Stys said.
"Tom has a wealth of expertise
in all facets of school finance that
has served him well throughout
his career," said John F. Donahue,
NJASBO executive director. "The
Distinguished Service Award is
an opportunity for his colleagues
statewide to recognize Tom for
his dedication and professional-
ism and to say 'thank you.'"
Venanzi previously worked for
the state Department of Educa-
tion as a field auditor and an in-
vestigative auditor for the Office
of Compliance.
He also was treasurer for the
Mercer County Vocational-Tech-
nical Schools Board of Education
from 1983 to 1985.
He has served in many posi-
tions in the Somerset County
ASBO, including president from
1995 to 1996.
Venanzi holds two degrees a
bachelor of science in account-
ing and a master of arts in educa-
tion administration both from
Rider University.

guments, but they just have to
learn how to cope with it.
On Wednesday, we walked the
Freedom Trail through Boston
and visited historical sites such
as Paul Reveres house, the Old
North Church and Copps Hill
Burying Ground. Afterward, we
departed to Minuteman National
Park.
There, we discovered how the
American militia, made of ordi-
nary, informally trained
colonists, defeated the British at
the North Bridge in Concord.
They outnumbered the British
stationed at the bridge and sur-
prised them, so the British re-
treated after attempting to tear
up the bridge.
The minutemen were deter-
mined and persevered, achieving
their goal even though the
British were better trained and
larger in number. I realized that
you dont necessarily have to
have the most training or sup-
port. Sometimes simply working
hard to achieve a goal can get you
far. During the Jr. NYLC Alumni
Boston trip, I learned how to bet-
ter use my leadership skills to
work out problems.
But that shouldnt end when I
return from the conference. In
the words of John Quincy
Adams, If your actions inspire
others to dream more, learn
more, do more and become more,
you are a leader.
Now that I am home, I hope I
can lead others by applying
knowledge from past leaders, and
encourage them to do the same.

EMS responds to 134
calls in June
For June, Montgomery EMS
responded to 134 calls. We cov-
ered 100 percent of our primary
calls and 100 percent of our 27
backup calls (a backup call is
when a second or third 9-1-1
emergency happens during our
first call requiring a second or
third ambulance and crew to re-
spond).
In June, we required no mutu-
al aid assistance from other agen-
cies. Of the calls, 16.2 percent re-
quired Advanced Life Support.
The top three call types for the
month were motor vehicle acci-
dent, difficulty breathing and
general sickness.
Thirteen EMT new candidates
were accepted into the summer
EMT training classes.
Twelve of the candidate start-
ed at the Somerset County Emer-
gency Services Training Acade-
my on June 24. The other candi-
date will be taking the MONOC
class.
So far, six candidates have ex-
pressed interest in taking the
EMT fall training in September.
If you would like to explore join-
ing our organization, email us at
membership@mems47.org.
Montgomery EMS has an-
nounced that three new candi-
dates entered our driver training
program.
Mike Fakes, Paul Kelly and
Daniel Reininger will be taking
the required training to become
certified drivers.
We also are pleased to an-
nounce that we are moving for-
ward with the purchase of a new
ambulance and a new first re-
sponse vehicle replacing both of
those aging units.
Montgomery EMS is an all-vol-
unteer organization that pro-
vides basic life support 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year.
We are not affiliated with any
hospital nor are we a municipal
entity.
All services provided by Mont-
gomery EMS are provided free of
charge.
