Student performs
at Carnegie Hall
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
One of Lawrencevilles very
own high school students, soph-
omore Jason Bembry, per-
formed a piano piece as a part of
a winners recital for the Golden
Key Music Festival at Weill
Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in
New York City on May 5.
Bembry played Chopins
Polonaise in C Sharp Minor,
for which he received a silver
medal in his age group at the
Golden Key Music Festival.
There were gold and silver
awards awarded at the festival,
and winning the silver medal
made Bembry worthy of per-
forming at Carnegie Hall in the
winners recital. Bembry partic-
ipated in the festival last year,
but only received a super bronze
award, which didnt advance
him to the recital at Carnegie
Hall.
The Golden Key Music Festi-
vals are designed to educate and
inspire student musicians, and
to help them unlock their musi-
cal potential. The festivals are
held in Barcelona, Spain; Vien-
na, Austria; and the New York
Metropolitan area in the United
States. These events help young
musicians meet and hear other
dedicated musicians of the
same age group, allow musi-
cians to see and experience
music capitals of the world, and
give younger musicians a
chance to perform on some of
the most prestigious stages in

Underwater journey
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
When walking into Stanton
Watermans office, a bright and
quaint, memorabilia-filled sun-
room connected to the side of his
house in Lawrenceville, one can-
not overlook his worldwide ac-
complishments that coat the
walls and different areas of the
room.
Waterman, a 15-year resident
of Lawrenceville, has worked as
an underwater cameraman and
film producer throughout his en-
tire life. And at 89, he still contin-
ues to pursue this career today.
Why is it he is so eager to dive
down into the ocean to explore
and film, you may ask?
One of the worlds most fasci-
nating and intriguing creatures:
sharks.
Waterman has made it his liv-
ing to explore the sea for these
top-shelf predators for the last 60
years, and has traveled to more
than 80 locations on six conti-
nents to do so.
Waterman began his underwa-
ter journey in the early 1950s,
when he resided in northern
Maine and served as a blueberry
farmer.
After the influence of Jacques
Cousteau and his revolutionary
invention of the Aqua-Lung, Wa-
terman obtained an Aqua-Lung
the first open-circuit free-swim-
ming underwater breathing set
and pioneered SCUBA diving in
Maine.
The idea that you could go un-
derwater and breathe was the
biggest epiphany in my life, he
said. It was a eureka experience,
so I was hooked.

Skywarn Storm Spotter training on May 23
Mercer County Executive
Brian M. Hughes announced the
Mercer County Office of Emer-
gency Management will host a
Skywarn Storm Spotter training
course on Wednesday, May 23,
from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Demp-
ster Fire Academy located at 350
Lawrence Station Road in
Lawrence.
This unique, free course, co-
sponsored by the Mount Holly
Forecast Office of the National
Weather Service, will teach inter-
ested residents how they can be a
significant help to first respon-
ders and other authorities during
severe storms. Skywarn is a na-
tionwide program run by the Na-
tional Weather Service for the
past 35 years in which trained res-
idents gather real-time, ground-
truth information about severe
weather, which can be anything
from a tornado to a flood or win-
ter snowstorm.
Skywarn spotters stay close to
home and are not storm chasers,
an activity that is dangerous and
not condoned by the National
Weather Service. Spotters typical-
ly relay reports to the weather
service about the severity and
type of storm or weather event,
indications of more dangerous
conditions ahead and verification
of forecasted weather, among
other responsibilities.
According to Mercer Countys
emergency management and the
National Weather Service, these
types of localized, up-to-date re-
ports by residents can save lives
and mitigate property damage be-
cause they can lead to new weath-
er warnings, cancellation of un-
necessary warnings, or detection
of an impending event.
National Weather Service ex-
perts will instruct Skywarn vol-
unteers on local weather patterns
and threats, how to spot oncom-
ing severe weather, and how to
notify the National Weather Serv-
ice and area emergency manage-
ment.
Those who take the course are
not required to become a Sky-
warn member after the class, but
are encouraged to do so.
In an average year across the
United States, Skywarn Storm
Spotters assist in the identifica-
tion, location and response to
10,000 thunderstorms, 5,000 floods
and more than 1,000 tornadoes,
according to the National Weath-
er Service.
The Skywarn program is free,
but registration is required. Reg-
ister with the Mercer County Of-
fice of Emergency Management
by e-mailing your full name,
street address, phone number and
e-mail address to
draymond@mercercounty.org; or
by faxing that information to
(609) 799-7067; or by calling the of-
fice at (609) 799-8868. Attendees
must be 17 or older and must

ment-issued photo identification.

nator, at wj3p@arrl.net if you

Lawrence Township celebrated
Arbor Day on Friday, April 27 at
the Lawrenceville Elementary
School. The township has recog-
nized Arbor Day with tree plant-
ing activities every year since
1996.
A tree was planted by the
Lawrence Township Public
Works Department in honor or
Arbor Day. It will provide shade
for the playing field.
The Lawrence Township Coun-
cil issued a proclamation recog-
nizing Arbor Day that was pre-
sented to the Lawrenceville Ele-
mentary School children.
The State Department of Envi-
ronmental Protection has been
promoting Arbor Day since 1949.
In that year, the Legislature desig-
nated the last Friday in April as
the official day to honor trees and
the people who take care of them.
The tree selected for the plant-
ing is a Village Green Zelkova.
Zelkovas are well suited to resi-
dential streets and parks.
The Lawrence Township Shade
Tree Advisory Committee was
created by the township council
to provide advice on street tree
matters.
Special to The Sun
Students from Lawrenceville Elementary School help plant the tree dedicated to Arbor Day at the school
located at 40 Craven Lane on April 27.

the world.
Bembry learned about this fes-
tival from his piano teacher,
Diane Gittleman, who has been
teaching piano for 35 years. Git-
tleman showed Bembry the festi-
val details, and encouraged him
to get more experience by per-
forming outside the local commu-
nity.
This was the first opportunity
that any organization gave us to
go to Carnegie Hall, so I said,
Lets give it a try, Gittleman
said.
Gittleman also explained what
it feels like, as a teacher, to watch
one of her students perform on
the renowned stage at Carnegie
Hall.
Its indescribable. Its a piano
teachers dream come true, she
said. It was unbelievable. Hes an
amazing student and very multi-
talented. Its one of the most satis-
fying things of my career.
Bembry taught himself how to
play piano at a very young age,
but started taking official piano
lessons at the age of 10. Since he
has been attached to music ever
since, hed like to attend a conser-
vatory in the future to pursue
music as his major.
At Carnegie Hall, Bembry per-
formed along with 43 other young
musicians, who were mostly pi-
anists and violinists who ranged
from ages 5 to 18.
Although Bembry has been
performing for most of his life,
the experience at Carnegie Hall
was especially unique for him.
When I first walked into the
Weill Recital Hall, I knew thats
where I belonged, he said. The
beauty of the chandeliers and the
9-foot Steinway grand piano took
my breath away. The acoustics of
the room made the music sound
perfect. My dream of playing in
Carnegie Hall finally came true.
Bembry was nervous for his
performance, but his mood com-
pletely changed once he stepped
on to the stage and executed his
piece perfectly.
All of my nerves went away
when I played the first note of my
piece, he said. Part of the way
through, I began to smile because
I was having so much fun fulfill-
ing my dream.
Overall, Bembry was overjoyed
about his performance and the
chance to perform at one of his
idolized places in Carnegie Hall.
I felt professional and proud of
myself for making it this far, he
said. As I walked out on to the
stage, I felt like Frederic Chopin
and all of the famous musicians
and composers were sitting in the
front row watching me perform.
It was truly an unforgettable
night.

in our opinion
D
espite all of the political hy-
perbole were going to have to
put up with until Election Day,
theres at least one positive aspect to a
presidential campaign: Neither party
wants to offend voters. Theyll wait to
do that after the votes are counted.
Thats good news if you are trying
to pay back your federally funded stu-
dent loans. Come July, the interest rate
on those loans is set to double.
But thats not going to happen. In-
deed, the Democrats and Republicans
are arguing about how best to pay for
keeping the interest rate at 3.4 percent.
The Democrats say they want to close
a tax loophole. The Republicans want
to go after the presidents health-care
plan. Theres even speculation that the
rate will be extended with no idea of
how to pay for it.
But, and you can bet on it, the rate
isnt going to rise.
Thats because there are a lot of peo-
ple with these loans. A lot of people
who likely will be voting this Novem-
ber. And neither party wants to anger
them. Letting the rate rise and bank-
ing on political spin to blame the
other guy is too risky. After all, isnt
getting elected the most important
thing a politician can do?
Were all for promoting higher edu-
cation and wouldnt mind seeing the
rate stay where it is. What we dont
like is the talk about just doing it and
worrying about paying for it later.
Reuters estimates keeping the rate
steady would cost about $6 billion.
One reason the public is so disen-
chanted with the government is that
the government doesnt have to play
by the same rules. Regular folks, or at
least responsible regular folks, live on
a budget. They spend what they can af-
ford. If they want to buy something,
they find a way to pay for it.
But, this being an election year and
all, the politicians no doubt will go all-
out to make as many people happy as
possible. Unfortunately, in the case of
student loans, that might mean simply
ignoring a bill that is due.
Friendly politicians
One good thing about election years: Politicians want to be your friend
Student loans
Those with federally funded student
loans shouldnt worry too much about
a possible interest rate hike in July.
Its an election year. The politicians
will do all they can to keep you happy.

The Bridge Academy thanks
Princeton community
On behalf of the students, faculty, staff
and parents of The Bridge Academy, I
would like to thank the Princeton,
Lawrenceville and Hopewell community
businesses that supported our recent
fundraiser, Reach for the Stars. I would
also like to thank Willis Greenhouse for
the beautiful centerpieces they provided.
The evening was a fabulous success. As
a school for language-based learning dis-
abilities (like dyslexia) and the only school
in New Jersey that is Orton-Gillingham ac-
credited, it is extremely important for us to
provide a multi-sensory approach to learn-
ing. Our annual fundraiser helps support
the hands-on learning opportunities for
our students that enrich their educational
experience.
While fundraising was an important
part of the evening, the highlight was the
remarkable testimonials from our students
about how important Bridge has been to
their success in school and in life. As one of
our students said: Opportunities are
found every day at The Bridge: to go to col-
lege, to have a job, to grow a family, to
bridge forward. Who said a dyslexic was
not normal?
Thank you to all the local businesses
that help our students bridge the gap be-
tween potential and performance.

A bicyclist was struck by a car and
killed on Route 1 in the area of Route 295
on Monday, May 7 at around 9:30 a.m.,
Lawrence police said.
Police say upon their arrival, they found
the cyclist, Aguedo Cruz, 59, of Trenton,
unconscious with injuries to his head,
arms and legs, having been struck by a
2004 Pontiac Grand Am. Police and emer-
gency medical personnel treated Cruz on
scene, and he was then transported to Cap-
ital Health System Regional Medical Cen-
ter in Trenton for treatment, where he died
a short time later from his injuries.
Police say the driver of the car that
struck Cruz, a 59-year-old Lambertville
man, was not physically injured during the
collision.
Route 1 remained closed during the in-
vestigation of the accident with traffic
being diverted on to Route 295 South. Route
1 reopened to normal traffic at 11:39 a.m.,
police said.
The accident is currently under investi-
gation by Lawrence Township Police Offi-
cer Ronald Buchanan and Det. Todd Caru-
so with the assistance of the Mercer Coun-
ty Serious Collision Response Teams Det.
Tony Abarno.
Anyone who may have witnessed the in-
cident is urged to contact the investigating
officers at (609) 896-1111. No charges have
yet been filed, police said.

adventures in an underwater
cage surrounded by swarms of
sharks in the Red Sea in National
Geographic, and reading Joseph
Conrads works, Waterman found
his calling to actually get involved
with this activity professionally.
One day when I was reading
Conrads Lord Jim, I came
across this quote, he said. It
was, Through the destructive ele-
ments, submit yourself and with
the exertions of your hands and
your feet in the water, make the
deep, deep sea keep you up. And I
thought, well, I better do some-
thing.
Shortly after, Waterman mort-
gaged everything he and his fami-
ly had in Maine to build a small
boat designed just for diving, in-
stalled with Aqua-Lung racks, a
compressor and living quarters
for four guests.
Since Maine had little to offer
for a man with aspirations such
as Watermans, he decided to relo-
cate to the Bahamas with his fam-
ily and his then newly built boat
in 1954 to pursue his newly found-
ed career.
Between 1954 and 1958, Water-
man operated a diving business
in the Bahamas and made a con-
siderable living.
I had one of the very first un-
derwater 16 millimeter camera
systems, so consequently, when
television came in, there was a
big appetite for that footage from
anyone that could shoot it, Wa-
terman said.
For the next 15 years, he filmed
a plethora of expeditions as re-
quested by clients, as well as trav-
eling the world to film exploits of
his own.
I filmed documentaries that
ranged from going up the Ama-
zon River to bring back the very
first freshwater dolphin, to
trekking along the Asian minor
coast in Turkey, where we found
the oldest shipwreck that had
ever been found from 1300 BC,
Waterman said.
In 1965, after Waterman sold
his boat and started focusing on
primarily shooting footage for
various professional networks
and organizations, including
ABC, CBS, and ESPN, he moved
his family to Tahiti for a new ad-
venture.
While in Tahiti, he and his fam-
ily essentially became television
stars as he allowed National Geo-
graphic to document and film the
familys yearlong experience.
In 1968, after Watermans care-
fully observed trip to Tahiti, he
ventured into another aspect of
filming, heading more toward the
production side, with his film,
Blue Water, White Death.
Blue Water, White Death,
was completed in 1971, after Wa-
terman and his partner-in-diving
and best friend, Peter Benchley,
explored the waters and Great
White sharks that inhabited them
just off the coast of South Africa.
We were scared to death be-
cause we didnt know what would
happen because nobody had ever
done that in the ocean out in the
open, he said. There were four
of us and we got away with it. The
sharks were bumping us, pushing
us and rubbing us, and we just
shoved them off and filmed each
other as this madness was going
on. Out of that seminal experi-
ence, we realized that once the
sharks are focused on a target a
food source that theyre used to
they couldnt care less about you
being there.
Waterman has also published a
book, Sea Salt, in 2005 that de-
tails all of his journeys, explo-
rations and discoveries as an un-
derwater cameraman and profes-
sional diver.
Along with traveling to dis-
tinct, exotic locations, creating
documentaries and writing
books, Waterman also won five
Emmys and about 20 different
awards from organizations
around the world on his way.
He was also recently ordained
into the International SCUBA
Diving Hall of Fame.
Im now seen as an icon in the
diving world, he said. If youre
too old to be out there, and if you
have an iconic reputation, you
are a celebrity on various levels.
Although Waterman holds an
outstanding list of feats others
dont even get the chance to try, he
takes his celebrity status ex-
tremely modestly.
He now considers himself an
emeritus, even though he still
hosts live-aboard diving tours. He
used to conduct tours to the East-
ern hemisphere, including exotic
locations such as Indonesia,
Malaysia, New Guinea and the
Philippines.
However, because of his age, he
now migrates closer for tours in
the Southern hemisphere mostly
in South America, specifically
Costa Rica.
At the end of this month, Wa-
terman will be conducting one of
his last dive-aboard, celebrity
tours to Belize. As a veteran of
the diving world, Waterman con-
tinues to engage in the activity he
loves by attending conferences
and diving conventions to give
seminars, lectures and presenta-
tions.
