Students to perform Bugsy
By KATHLEEN DUFFY
The Lawrence Sun
At St. Ann School in Lawrence,
every student has an equal
chance to take the stage.
For nine years, drama club par-
ent volunteers have been helping
second- through eighth-graders
branch out of their usual aca-
demic routines to sing, dance and
dramatize.
This month, 64 eager children
will bring a new, specialized ren-
dition of the classic Bugsy Mal-
one Jr. gangster play to life.
The play will be shown on
March 25, 30 and 31 at 7 p.m. and
at 2 p.m. on March 25.
The play is actually based on a
movie that was done in the late
70s starring Scott Baio and Jodie
Foster, said parent director-cho-
reographer Robin Scott.
Going even further back in
time, she explained, Bugsy Mal-
one Jr. is a spoof of gangster
movies from the 1930s and 40s.
Its set during prohibition,
she said. We have a speakeasy,
but theres no alcoholic beverages
served there. We have root beer
and birch beer instead.
Bugsy Malone Jr. features
two rival gangs, one led by Flat
Sam, the other headed by Dandy
Dani.
They have been warring
gangs for a long time, said Scott.
Armed with marshmallows
and royal blue play guns loaded
with colorful silly string, the
gangs clash during the show.
Flat Sams gang uses the old
technology of marshmallow
shoots, while Dandy Danis crew
are equipped with new splurg-
ers that squirt silly string at
their opponents.
That is right from the movie
and the original script, said
Scott.
When an actor is shot with the
splurger, she explained, they are
wiped out.
In our play, it just means that
they get splurge goo on them
and apparently, it injures them in
some way, she said. But they do
come back.
The roughly two-hour long
play diverts from the original
script to accommodate the num-
ber of students interested in
being involved. Scott and parent
co-director Mike Meagher wrote
original lines for about half of
the play for that purpose.
If you want to be in the show,
you can be in the show, Meagher
said.
There are two full casts, each
Voters
to take
tax levy
to polls
By KATHLEEN DUFFY
The Lawrence Sun
Lawrence Township voters
will decide on Tuesday, April
17 if the tax levy can be ex-
ceeded by an additional nine
cents per $100 of assessed
value in this years budget to
avoid a major budget gap in
2013, township officials said.
The reason for the ques-
tion to be presented to the vot-
ers is due to towns challenges
or obstacles to regenerating
surplus as revenue at the rate
that would be needed to be in-
cluded in the 2012 budget,
said township manager
Richard Krawczun. Taking
the action this year is more
proactive.
If this doesnt pass, the al-
ternative would be to create a
(solid waste) utility that would
charge residential property
owners a flat fee for the collec-
tion of curb side trash.
Currently, a trash collection
fee is included in residents
taxes. If the referendum were
approved, the added cost
would be tax deductible.
In turn, a utility would not
be tax deductible, Krawczun
said. Its considered a user
fee, not a tax.
Residents would be charged

PSA
performing in two shows.
We create two casts that we believe are
equal talent, Scott said.
There is no understudy cast in the pro-
duction.
We add to it so we can make more large
roles, Scott said. We have so many talent-
ed children. Its really been fun.
The students generally take the play
quite seriously from the time they are cast
into a role.
Auditions and casting took place in De-
cember, and the casts have been practicing
since January.
Some of these kids, they take this rela-
tively small to medium-sized part and just
turn it into something that we cant even
imagine, said Scott.
Alexis Staniec, a sixth-grader, loves to
sing and cannot wait to belt out Thats
Why They Call Her Dandy, while playing
her part as Dandy Dani in the first cast.
Some students are already drama club
veterans.
Eighth-grader David Rowcotsky will
play the title role of Bugsy Malone Jr., a
revered ex-boxer, in the second cast. He has
been involved in theater for much of his
time at St. Ann School and is so excited
to embody his final role at the school.
The whole thing is so much fun, he ea-
gerly said.
Mariah Kondash plans to become an ac-
tress, she details confidently. The sixth-
grader, who plays Blousey Brown in the
first cast, is enthusiastic about the play.
I love acting, she said. I wish to be an
actress when I grow up. Everybody should
follow their dreams, no matter how old you
are.
Parent volunteers keep the club current
to allow for the students to have an outlet
to chase their stage goals.
We have a core group of six parents
who really run the club, Scott said. On
top of that, there are dozens of other par-
ents who help. The entire set is built by
parents and siblings.
Were so fortunate.
The drama club had humble beginnings
nearly a decade ago, with a students par-
ents who hoped to create an alternative to
sports as an extracurricular activity in the
school.
Her parents happened to have some
background in theater, Scott said. Before
they knew it, they had other parents who
were interested, too.
Scott, who sings and dances along with
the students to help them practice, says
acting helped her build much-needed confi-
dence when she was in school.
I started becoming involved in theaters
and things when I was in high school
because I was so shy, she said. I was so, so
terribly shy. The one place where I was not
shy was when I was on stage. It gave me
that chance to be something else.
Tickets for the show can be purchased in
advance by calling (609) 883-0246 and are
priced at $7 for adults and $5 for
children. Kids 3 and younger can enter for
free.

in our opinion
W
e could guess that there is
waste in government. Even,
at times, fraud. It kind of
comes with the territory.
But we indeed were shocked to
learn that tens of millions of dollars
have been lost due to abuse of the free
lunch program.
Recently, Gov. Christie announced
the formation of a task force to study
abuse and manipulation of the school
funding formula due to fraud in the
Free and Reduced Price School Lunch
Program. According to the governor,
recent studies and news reports
clearly identify high levels of fraudu-
lent enrollment in the program un-
dercutting the states ability to fairly
and appropriately determine aid lev-
els for schools. A 2011 report by the
State Auditor found that as many as 37
percent of the students in the program
are enrolled fraudulently.
Thirty seven percent? More than
one in three? Thats a shocking num-
ber.
If its true, heck, if its anywhere
close to being true, then, yes, someone
needs to clean house.
The task force will consist of seven
members from both inside and outside
of government.
Now, were usually not big on task
forces or blue-ribbon committees or
whatever other study groups might be
formed. Too often they spend time and
tax money looking at something, pon-
dering various scenarios and then
writing a report that results in no ac-
tion whatsoever.
This time, we have to hope that the
task force figures out where the prob-
lems are and how to fix them. And
then, the state fixes them.
Its no secret that N.J. taxpayers are
overburdened especially when it
comes to property taxes. There can be
zero tolerance for mismanagement,
waste, abuse, fraud, whatever you
want to call it.
This applies across the board when
it comes to spending tax dollars even
when it comes to free lunches.
Free lunch fraud
Seriously? Someone is scamming the schools free-lunch program?
A hunger for reform
The governor says tens of millions of
dollars have been lost due to fraud in
the free lunch program at schools.
Lets hope his task force gets to the
bottom of the problem and remedies
are forthcoming.

Hoping to follow in George
Washingtons footsteps, Boy
Scouts from Troop No. 28 in
Lawrence hiked the land in
Hopewell Township where Wash-
ington and his Continental Army
might have assembled after cross-
ing the Delaware River on Christ-
mas night in 1776.
The famous crossing of the
Delaware marked the turning
point in the American Revolu-
tion, as Washington launched a
surprise attack on the Hessians
and claimed victory in what is
now known as the Battle of Tren-
ton.
Scouts from Troop No. 28 set up
camp at Kerr Farm March 9 to 11,
where they spent the weekend
honing their outdoor skills and
hiking more than three miles
through the woods near Jacobs
Creek, the tributary that Wash-
ington crossed on his way to
Trenton.
The farm property is part of
the recently designated Bear Tav-
ern Road and Jacobs Creek Road
Rural Historic District.
Troop No. 28 is open to boys
who have completed fifth-grade,
and meets Fridays from 7:30 to 9
p.m. at the Scout Cabin at
Lawrence Road Presbyterian
Church.
Boys need not have been in-

$28 each month for trash pick up
through the utility option for an
added yearly expense of $336.
A home assessed at $161,292.08
under the potential referendum
would have an additional annual
cost of $145.16, or $12.10 per
month, which is less than half of
the cost of a utility.
Krawczun said at the March 6
town council meeting theres a de-
sire to change the language on the
ballot to make the explanation for
the referendum more under-
standable to voters.
Weve been trying to work out
some alternative language, he
said.
Presently, the wording is tech-
nical in nature.
Sewer usage fees are on the
rise in the township this year.
An increase of $85 annually is
expected for the average user, al-
though this is completely depend-
ent on the amount of use.
The sewer fees are based on
water consumption, he said.
Last year was favorable to the
township, he said at the meeting,
due to the amount of precipita-
tion making the ground wet.
The demand charge of $42 has
not risen this year.
According to Krawczun, The
cost for low-volume users isnt as
high because the demand charge
hasnt gone up.
Meanwhile, a capital improve-
ment plan was also discussed at
the meeting.
I think the biggest thing about
the capital improvement plan is
that it authorizes new projects in
an amount less than were paying
down in current debt, he said.
Were continuing to spend less
money.
An example suggested at the
meeting was the need for a new
mechanical street sweeper for
township roads. The projected
cost recommendation for such an
investment would be $225,000.
Debt in the township has been
decreasing overall since 2007, said
Krawczun. During just that five-
year period, we spent $6.6 million
less than the principal we were
paying down.
At the March 6 meeting, an or-
dinance was adopted to appoint
Susan E. McCloskey, a long-time
township employee, the position
of tax collector. Her term will
begin this year and extend to
2016.
Change in this years
budget would help avoid
major budget gap in 2013

Elauwit, publisher of The Sun
newspapers, has announced new
leadership.
Barry Rubens will become
chief executive of Elauwit on
April 1.
This is an exciting moment
for Elauwit, Chairman of the
Board Russell Cann said of
Rubens promotion from his cur-
rent role as chief financial officer.
Barry has brought a wealth of
experience and wisdom to
Elauwit, and we are all excited to
see him use that knowledge to
lead our company.
Rubens succeeds Dan McDo-
nough, Jr., who steps down as
chief executive March 31. McDo-
nough has run the company for
the past three years and will con-
tinue to serve on Elauwits board
of directors and on its executive
committee.
Barry has been a trusted
teammate, a mentor and a friend
for the last three years, McDo-
nough said. He is perfectly suit-
ed to take Elauwit to the next
level and I am excited to support
his efforts to do just that.
In addition to serving as chief
financial officer, Rubens, 51, has
served on the board of directors
of Elauwit. Prior to joining
Elauwits board in 2009, Rubens
served as the senior vice presi-
dent and chief financial officer of
CT Communications, Inc. (NAS-
DAQ: CTCI), where he helped
grow revenues from $40 million to
$160 million.
Alan Bauer has been named
vice chairman of the Elauwit
Media board of directors. He has
served as general manager and
editor of the company since its
formation in 2004. He is responsi-
ble for the daily operations of the
company, overseeing news and
production.
Also, Steve Miller has been
named publisher of all Elauwit
Media publications. In his new
role, Miller will be responsible for
working with community and
business leaders and promoting
the Elauwit Media brand
throughout South and Central
Jersey. Miller has served Elauwit
Media as vice president of sales
and most recently as executive
vice president.
Elauwit is the parent company
of Elauwit Media and Elauwit
Networks.
Elauwit Media publishes 15
weekly newspapers in South and
Central Jersey. Its 16th paper, The
Princeton Sun, will launch next
week, March 28. It has offices in
Haddonfield and Princeton.
Elauwit Networks is a national
leader in providing Internet ac-
cess, telephone service, high defi-
nition video and security services
to multi-unit housing develop-
ments, such as student housing,
apartments, condominiums, hos-
pitals and senior living complex-
es. The company currently serves
properties in more than 20 states
across the nation.

and Optimizing Porous Metal Or-
ganic Frameworks for the Cap-
ture of Carbon Dioxide from Flue

March 13 at Rider University in

Nearly 420 students from 36

hosted by Rider for the 29th con-
secutive year.
As the grand-prize winner, Xu
earned an all-expense-paid trip to

ating an Educational Program
and Testing its Efficiency, will
attend in his place.
Xu and Wight are also eligible
to compete in the SUNY-Oswego

28.
Judges from area companies,
agencies, schools, Rider and the
military evaluate the projects,
and all senior division students
were required to present their
projects to numerous judges dur-
ing a four-hour judging session
on Monday.
The top winners in the junior
division (grades six through
eight) move on to the Society of

The 50 finalists from that com-
petition advance to Washington,
