Teacher spearheads drive for

Students create calligraphic artwork
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
About 100 students from
Lawrence High School (LHS)
teacher Tsun-Ju Lins Mandarin
classes recently had the chance to
work with master artist and cal-
ligraphy professional Yu-Chen
Chen and create their own rendi-
tions of calligraphic artwork.
Because of limited space, 35 of
the 100 works are on display at the
Lawrence Headquarters Branch
of the Mercer County Library
throughout the month of Novem-
ber.
The students participated in a
two-day workshop and painting
lesson with Chen, who currently
practices Chinese Calligraphic
and Painting Art forms.
Chinese painting and calligra-
phy distinguish themselves from
other cultural arts because they
emphasize motion. In Chinese
Calligraphy, the idea behind a
word, the elegance of the brush
stroke, the quality and vigor of
line and ink, and the use of space
around the character are given
equal value.
Juniors at LHS and two of
Lins students, Helen Lahoda and
Patrick Lavery, explained how the
intricacy of the calligraphic
process is much more difficult to
perfect than your standard oil
painting since its done on rice Special to The Sun
Lawrence High School Mandarin teacher Tsun-Ju Lins students practice creating calligraphic paintings of bamboo in October when profes-
sional Chinese calligraphy artist Yu-Chen Chen visited their class.

Toiletry drive benefits
hurricane victims
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
Physical Education teacher
and head varsity baseball coach
at Lawrence High School (LHS)
Chris Gresko recently spearhead-
ed a toiletry drive to assist the vic-
tims of Hurricane Sandy in
South Jersey.
The short, yet substantial toilet
ry drive was held from Tuesday,
Nov. 6 to Friday, Nov. 9, in which
students, staff, and members of
the community donated various
toiletries and other items to bene-
fit the residents of Belmar.
Gresko, who is personally con-
nected to South Jersey, was ac-
tively helping with cleanup ef-
forts in Belmar and Spring Lake
and decided to extend the effort to
LHS.
I had been down in Belmar
and Spring Lake really trying to
help out since I rented a house
there in college and when I was in
the transition of building a new
house, so I got to know some peo-
ple down there and it kind of hit
home for me, he said. So, I said I
had to be there, somehow and
someway. So many people lost
everything, and they need toi-
letries.
Gresko explained how he intro-
duced the idea at a staff meeting
on Monday, Nov. 5 when the stu-
dents first returned to school
after the storm.
At the meeting, he learned that
the school was already going to
run a donation drive similar to
the one he had in mind, so he en-
couraged the teachers to adver-
tise his effort throughout the
week since he was driving down
to Belmar that weekend (Nov. 10
and Nov. 11) to help cleanup and
drop off donations.

The Lawrence Township Com-
munity Foundation has organ-
ized a local hurricane relief
fundraising drive to support five
local agencies that serve the basic
needs of Lawrence residents. All
five have seen a sharp increase of
people in need since Hurricane
Sandy.
The Crisis Ministry of Mercer
County, Mercer Street Friends,
the Rescue Mission of Trenton,
the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen
and HomeFront are all seeing a
higher volume of residents seek-
ing help since the storm hit late
last month.
The Lawrence Township Com-
munity Foundation will donate
$500 to each organization as part
of the fundraiser. We are chal-
lenging local businesses and resi-
dents to help. Send as little or as
much as you can to the founda-
tion and we will distribute 100
percent of your donation to the
five charities. You can designate a
charity from the five or your do-
nation will be divided among the
organizations.
Send your donation to the
Lawrence Township Community
Foundation, P.O. Box 6707,
Lawrence, NJ 08648. Please make
checks payable to Lawrence
Township Community Founda-
tion.
For additional information,
please contact Jori Fahrenfeld via
email at ltefnj@gmail.com.
The fundraising drive will run
until Dec. 31.
The five organizations help
meet the basic needs of many
Lawrence residents. Crisis Min-
istry provides homelessness pre-
vention services and operates
food pantries and emergency util-
ity assistance. Mercer Street
Friends supplies food items to
food pantries in partnership with
60 hunger relief programs and
sites serving area residents. The
Rescue Mission of Trenton,
which provides shelter and cloth-
ing to the homeless, lost its entire
inventory in the warehouse be-
cause the roof was destroyed dur-
ing the storm. The Trenton Area
Soup Kitchen serves hundreds of
people hot meals every day. Home-
Front, which is headquartered in
Lawrence, provides moms and
kids with housing, groceries, job
skills, childcare, and academic
support.
Hurricane relief fundraising drive set
The Lawrence Board of Educa-
tion (BOE) took action at their
Nov. 14 meeting on two items af-
fecting the districts calendar.
One motion was to revise the
2012-2013 school calendar and the
other involved moving the
Lawrence school elections from
April to November.
Lawrence Schools were closed
five days (Oct. 29 to Nov. 2) due to
Super Storm Sandy. Three of the
days will be made up via three
emergency days (March 22, April
1, and May 28) initially built into
this years calendar, and the other
two days were made up Nov. 8 and 9
when schools were open due to the
cancelled NJEA convention.
The BOE revised the calendar
to build additional emergency
days into the remaining school
year. Posted on the district website
(ltps.org), the revised calendar re-
flects that. In the event schools are
closed additional days due to
things such as inclement weather,
students and staff will make up
the days in the following order
February 15, 2013; March 15, 2013;
and March 27 and March 28, 2013.
Schools were already slated to
be closed on Feb. 15 and March 15
for students, and were to be used
for staff professional develop-
ment. If those dates are needed
for make-up days, schools will be
open and staff will have the pro-
fessional development on June 21
and June 24. March 27 and March
28 fall in the middle of Spring
Break. Schools are closed on
March 25, March 26, and March 29
for religious holidays.
Also on Nov. 14, the BOE voted 7-
1 to move Lawrences School Elec-
tions from April to November 2013.
Considerations for moving the
election include providing securi-
ty for students and staff, alleviat-
ing distractions for administrators
so they can focus on instructional
matters, adding long-term fiscal
stability, increasing voter turnout,
and committing to the publics par-
ticipation in setting budget priori-
ties. The BOE added an extra ele-
ment to the standard resolution
provided by the New Jersey School
Boards Association and empha-
sized that, although residents will
not vote on the district budget if
its under the 2 percent cap, the dis-
trict will continue to communicate
about the proposed budget and
seek the communitys input on
budget priorities.
In Jan. 2012, Gov. Christie
signed legislation that allows
communities to move the April
annual school board member
election to the November general
election and eliminate the vote on
a districts proposed budget if the
budget is at or below the allow-
able 2 percent tax levy cap. In Feb.
2012, the Lawrence BOE voted 5-4
to leave their election in April. As
reported in April 2012 by the New
Jersey School Boards Associa-
tion, over 85 percent of New Jer-
sey school districts moved their
elections to November 2012.

I
ts no secret New Jersey leaders
want sports betting legalized in the
state. In fact, plans are that it will
start on Jan. 9 depending on the sta-
tus of a lawsuit brought by Major
League Baseball, the National Football
League, the National Basketball Asso-
ciation, the National Hockey League
(like that really matters right now) and
the NCAA.
The leagues and associations some-
how are able to say with a straight face
that legalized sports betting in the
state would hurt the integrity of their
games. These are the same leagues, of
course, that have no problem playing
games in other countries where bet-
ting is legal. Some of you might re-
member the Rams and Patriots game
last month in England, for example.
The facts are well known:
* A 20-year-old federal law limits
sports betting legal to Nevada,
Delaware, Oregon and Montana.
* Hundreds of billions of dollars are
being bet on sports illegally these days.
* The leagues and associations arent
exactly hurting for money.
* New Jerseys casino and horse rac-
ing industries are struggling. They
were struggling before Hurricane
Sandy. After the Hurricane? Well, has
anyone representing the leagues and
associations seen the photos coming
from Atlantic City?
* Legalized sports betting would be a
boon to the casinos and tracks. It
would mean monster weekends in AC
when major sporting events are taking
place. Some of the money now being
spent with offshore gambling outfits or
through illegal means right here in the
states would flow, legally, into the
states economy.
Frankly, the sports leagues and asso-
ciations should be embarrassed. Their
preference to keep sports betting dol-
lars flowing to illegal enterprises than
local economies is shameful. They
should do the right thing and welcome
sports betting to New Jersey next
month.
in our opinion
Betting deadline looms
Sports leagues should welcome New Jersey to betting ranks on Jan. 9
Let the betting begin
New Jersey plans to allow sports bet-
ting Jan. 9. Sports leagues oppose the
move. Their opposition, especially in
the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, is
simply shameful.
The holiday season is quickly approach-
ing, and the time of year for sharing joy
and happiness with those less fortunate
has arrived.
Mercer County Veteran Services is con-
ducting its annual donation drive to help
veterans and their families enjoy the com-
forts of a hot meal on each holiday.
Last year, the County raised $6,500 for
this worthy cause. Reaching this goal
would again allow many of our veterans
and their families to purchase items for a
holiday meal, and Mercer County Execu-
tive Brian M. Hughes said a donation of
any amount would be greatly appreciated.
Last year, we met our donation goal and
were able to provide meals to veterans dur-
ing the holiday season. Hughes said.
That kind of generosity is what makes
Mercer County great. Our veterans have
given so much, now lets show them we
care.
The holiday meal fund drive is an annu-
al county endeavor. Rather than collecting
donations of food, Mercer Countys Divi-
sion of Veteran Services accepts monetary
donations that go toward the purchase of
Shop-Rite gift cards veterans can use to
purchase holiday meals. Veterans will re-
ceive those gift cards in time for holiday
meal preparations.
Mercer County Veteran Services uses
every dollar collected during the drive to
purchase and distribute the Shop-Rite gift
cards for food products.
If you wish to donate, make your checks
payable to Mercer County Trust Fund.
Please mail your donations to the Mercer
County Division of Veteran Services, 2280
Hamilton Ave., Hamilton, NJ 08619. For ad-
ditional information on making a dona-
tion, please call (609) 989-6120.

During the week, students, the
National Honor Society, staff and
everybody who was able to con-
tribute donated various cleaning
supplies and related items to the
cause.
At the end of the week, the
back of my GMC Acadia was full
of paper towels, cleaning sup-
plies, toilet paper, Sharpies, and a
bunch of cleaning materials just
to get them [residents of Belmar]
back on their feet and back to
some type of normalcy, Gresko
said.
Gresko detailed how he ac-
quired huge donations, including
an extensive selection of batter-
ies that looked like a display you
would see in Lowes.
We probably collected 200
rolls of toilet paper, 100 rolls of
paper towels, 50 Sharpies, and a
lot of C and D batteries, he said.
It was a really great job done by
everybody, and Im glad I lived so
close that I could get down there
as quick as I could.
Although Belmar was incredi-
bly appreciative for the outpour-
ing of support, Gresko detailed
how the town actually stopped
taking clothing donations and
supply donations because it was
so overwhelmed by the amount of
items it received.
However, he also explained
how the town still needs a lot of
help, physically, with the cleanup
and restoration process.
If anyone wishes to make a do-
nation to help Belmar or any of
the other towns in South Jersey,
Gresko advised visiting the town-
ships websites to ensure the
money goes straight to the town.
To donate to Belmar directly, go
to belmar.com.

NOV. 28-DEC. 4, 2012 THE LAWRENCE SUN 11
paper and involves more complex
actions.
When the artist [Chen] actual-
ly drew it for us, it looked so easy
and simple because it was just all
of these lines put together to
make a flower or a crab or what-
ever we drew, but it was so differ-
ent when you were actually doing
it because of the shades and how
you needed to line it up exactly,
Lahoda said. Its so different
with the brush; you have to hold
the brush a certain way. And its
lines mostly, and the technique is
very specific. For me, it was chal-
lenging.
Although Lavery agreed that
the technique was challenging, he
explained how all of the different
lines made sense once the paint-
ing was complete.
It all came together and made
a really beautiful picture that you
wouldnt think would be able to
be created with only a few compo-
nents, as opposed to a traditional
view of a picture that we think is
like very complex with different
colors, he said. It really put a
different perspective on the way
art can be looked at.
Lavery further explained how
the technique mainly focused on
the amount of ink and water com-
bined with the amount of pres-
sure placed on the brush.
The pressure makes a differ-
ent image and also the size of the
brush because its not like the tra-
ditional brush that we use in
class, he said. Its like a point
and more like a pen. Youre doing
it [calligraphic painting] wrong if
your pen is dry and fanned out be-
cause you wont get the right
image; but if its too wet, itll al-
most ruin the paper. You need to
get it just right so the pen has the
perfect amount of ink and the
perfect amount of water in it so
itll get that right shape and give
you a good image.
During the workshop, Chen
demonstrated how to create a va-
riety of objects, including bam-
boo, flowers, grass, crabs, fish and
prawns. Each had a different tech-
nique attached, and in some
cases, different colors.
Lavery and Lahoda explained
how they used green for the bam-
boo and grass, red for the flowers
and black for the animals. Both
students had different opinions
on which colors worked best for
them.
I think the green for the bam-
boo was the hardest because you
had to show lighting and the gra-
dient of the green, Lavery said.
It really depended on how much
ink you used because it wasnt
just a simple ink, it was a pretty
specific way that the ink needed
to be with the water..
For me, it was with the black
ink with the crab because I had to
re-do it two or three times just to
not completely dark out my pic-
ture, Lahoda said. Maybe I was-
nt using enough water, but it was
very dark at first for me, and it
was very hard with the black.
Although they had different
opinions on colors, they both
agreed that the animals were sur-
prisingly easier to construct than
the bamboo or flowers.
Its funny to think that the
crabs and the fish were actually a
lot easier to draw than the bam-
boo or the grass, Lavery said.
Even though theyre simpler
shapes wed think, it was actually
really hard just to get the propor-
tions down right.
You have to show the move-
ment, more of the bamboo, espe-
cially, I thought, with all of the
leaves on it, too, Lahoda added.
It was very hard to make it look
realistic in its own way, but it was
easier with the crabs or the fish.
Each of the students got the
chance to choose one of the pre-
determined images that Chen
demonstrated to create a rendi-
tion of on their own.
Both Lavery and Lahoda creat-
ed calligraphic crabs, which are
currently on display at the li-
brary in the room next to the chil-
drens section.
Lavery and Lahoda, along with
the other 98 students whom Lin
teaches, got the chance to meet
Chen and create their own rendi-
tions of Chinese Calligraphy and
Painting because of a grant from
the Lawrence Township Educa-
tion Foundation (LTEF). The
grant brought together students
who study Mandarin and stu-
dents in the fine arts program.

LTEF and the programs it sup-
ports, contact Executive Director
