APRIL 16–22, 2014 –THE MONTGOMERY SUN 3

By NORA CARNEVALEThe Sun

At the April 8 MontgomeryTownship Board of Educationmeeting, the board formally ac-cepted the Harassment, Intimida-tion and Bullying report issuedby the state Department of Edu-cation. Since the 2011-2012 schoolyear, the Anti-Bullying Bill ofRights Act has served as a guidefor the district to implement theHIB requirements. According tothe district website, “the districthas made progress in addressingand improving harassment, in-timidation and bullying and theschool climate and culture.”

As reported on the website, theschool grade issued in the reportis a raw score of data and the sumof the ratings for all indicatorswithin each of the core elementson the School Self-Assessment.The maximum score for a schoolis 75 points. The district’s grade isan average of the total scores ofall the schools in the district. Thereport will be used for identifyingand working on areas of improve-ment as well as educating staffand the community.

Montgomery High School re-ceived the district’s highest over-all score of 63. MontgomeryLower Middle School received ascore of 57. Montgomery UpperMiddle School’s score was 51. Or-chard Hill Elementary School’s

score was the lowest in the dis-trict with 50, and Village Elemen-tary School received a score of 60.The overall district grade was 56out of 75.

In other district news, theboard recognized several individ-uals for their recent achieve-ments. Anthony Cassar, a Mont-gomery High School state cham-pion wrestler, and Justin Kovace-vich, a Montgomery High Schoolbasketball player who scored1,000 points and contributed sig-nificantly to the team’s run in thestate championships, were hon-ored. Another athlete honoredwas Zachary Warner, a 100-meterbreaststroke state championswimmer.

“As much as we are excitedabout our amazing academic pro-gram here, we are just as excitedabout our extracurricular athlet-ics,” Superintendent NancyGartenberg said.

Jennifer Yulo, fourth-gradeteacher at Village ElementarySchool, was honored for academicachievement. Yulo became thedistrict’s second NationalTeacher Board Certified employ-ee.

“To become board certified re-quires very specific and very rig-orous teacher training. Thisteacher has had to go through alot of hoops to reach this level ofrecognition,” Gartenberg said.

Board member Dr. Lei Yu re-ported that the Assessment, Cur-riculum and Instruction Commit-tee has been working on trying topinpoint a reason for a trend inlow final exam scores in the highschool’s pre-calculus classes. Heexplained that one contributingfactor may be the practice of al-lowing seniors with “A” averagesto be exempt from taking finals,which could make the overall av-erage lower without their scores.

Board Secretary Thomas Ve-nanzi reported, in response to apublic comment regarding thedistrict’s legal counsel, that thedistrict’s legal fees have been ap-proximately twice the amountoriginally budgeted. He statedthat the budgeted amount wasaround $150,000, but due to litiga-tion involving special education,the real number is projected to beabout $300,000.

The next Board of Educationmeeting is scheduled for April 22.

he old saying is that numbersdon’t lie. Numbers are whatthey are; interpret them how

you will.Here are a few for you to ponder:• Five: How many of Atlantic City’s

11 casinos lost money on an operatingbasis for the first nine months of thefiscal year, through September

• One: How many Atlantic City casi-nos went out of business this year –the Atlantic Club – plus one more –Revel – which is up for sale followingbankruptcy

• $10.3 million: The amount of rev-enue from online wagering in NewJersey in February, on pace for $123.6million for the year, well short of Gov.Christie’s original $1 billion forecast.

• $12 million: The estimated tax rev-enue from internet gambling throughthe end of the fiscal year in June, com-pared to the forecast of $160 million

• $235 million: The amount of gam-bling revenue brought in by AC casi-nos last year, a 35 percent drop from2012, a year that included a casinoshutdown due to Hurricane Sandy

• 39: The number of states that offercasino gambling, compared to two in1988

• 2 million: The number of visitorsAtlantic City bused in from surround-ing areas last year, compared to 14 mil-lion not long ago

The numbers don’t lie – not only isAtlantic City failing, so is gamblingnationwide. Even in Las Vegas, thegambling capital of the world, gam-

bling revenue was down to “only” $6.5billion last year.

New casinos in that Nevada city arefocusing on other luxurious offeringsother than gambling, such as restau-rants, nightclubs, pools, shopping,spas and entertainment.

Over the last few years, AtlanticCity has begun to do the same with theTanger Outlets, The Pier Shops at Cae-sars and the dining and nightlife at theBorgata.

But is it enough? The numberswould say that it’s not, or at the veryleast, that more needs to be done tomake Atlantic City a bigger touristdestination, serving more than justthe gambler.

Like it or not, Atlantic City is vitalfor the state’s economy. Lucky for us, ithas easy access, beachfront propertyand plenty of name recognition tobounce back in a serious way.

in our opinion

Did the gamble on AC fail?If so, then the state needs to find an alternative source of revenue – fast

Girl Scouts sponsoringpet food drive May 31On Saturday, May 31, Girl Scout

Troop 60841 is sponsoring a petfood drive at the MontgomeryShop Rite in Skillman, from 10a.m. to 2 p.m. to benefit theFranklin Township Animal Shel-ter in Somerset County.

The pet food drive is one part ofthe girls’ Bronze Award project,the highest award they can earnas a Junior Girl Scout. To earnthe Bronze Award, the girls needto complete a Girl Scout journey,develop a project that addresses acommunity need, and devote aminimum of 20 hours per personto the project. The project thegirls developed is entitled “HelpOur Animal Friends.” This proj-ect involves working with theFranklin Animal Shelter to raiseawareness about being a respon-

sible pet owner, organizing a petfood drive, and make a “donationbox” that will sit outside the ani-mal shelter where donations canbe dropped off.

On March 20, the troops visitedthe Franklin Township AnimalShelter and met with Katie Nord-haus, the animal control officer,where they learned how the shel-ter serves the community andthen were given a tour and shownwhere the donation box will beplaced.

Please join us in helping ouranimal friends by stopping byShop Rite in Skillman during ourpet food drive on Saturday May31, to purchase an item to donateor to drop to off an item. “Everydonation matters,” said LillyBaker, troop member.

tude of items, some that residentsmay not be aware can be recycled.Rather than having the house-hold items become trash, resi-dents are encouraged to bring thefollowing materials to be recy-cled: prescription medication,electronics, metals, plastic (Nos. 2and 4), nylon stockings, X-rays,cell phones and smart phones,CDs, DVDs and VHS tapes andtoner cartridges.

“This year’s metal recyclingand electronics recycling areavailable like they have been inyears past, but it has always beenreally popular,” Lauren Wasilaus-ki, township open space coordina-tor, said.

In addition to historically pop-ular displays, there will be nu-merous new participants thisyear.

“The Somerset County Sher-iff ’s Office will be at the fair inorder to collect unused and ex-pired medication, which is a greatfeature. It is something new thisyear, and we are really hopingthat people will take advantage ofthat,” Wasilauski said.

This year, the communitygroups that residents can lookforward to learning from includethe Mary Jacobs Library, Mont-gomery Township Health Depart-ment – which will be equippedwith information about manag-ing septic systems and tech-niques for water conservation –the Montgomery Women’s Club,the Montgomery TownshipLeague of Women Voters, and apresence from local Boy and GirlScout troops, in addition to manyothers.

“I think it’s really important tothe township to recognize theEarth Day Fair every year, and re-mind residents to keep the envi-ronment in their consciousness,conserve things and shop a littlesmarter. There is plenty of neweducation about up and comingtechnology, new techniques andproducts, and old reminders –things that people know theyshould be doing every day butmight not always follow throughon,” Wasilauski said.

Wasilauski explained that theevent is successful every year be-cause the township already hassustainability high on its list ofpriorities.
