Poetry reading
By NORA CARNEVALE
The Sun
Ame Dyckman of
Lawrenceville was a recipient of
the 2014 Ezra Jack Keats Book
Award for her book, Tea Party
Rules. Dyckman received the
award for new writer. The award
was presented at the University of
Southern Mississippi during the
Fay B. Kaigler Childrens Book
Festival on April 10.
Published by Viking, an im-
print of Penguin Group, the
storys main character, Cub, dis-
covers a backyard tea party filled
with cookies and
also many rules
from the hostess.
Cub tries to follow
the rules for playing
tea party, but it is
difficult. The two
characters eventu-
ally become friends,
learning how to co-
operate during play-
time. Tea Party
Rules was illustrated by K.G.
Campbell.
Dyckman, who published her
first book, Boy and Bot, in 2012
explained that writing childrens
books was a long-time dream.
I always wanted to write chil-
drens books, ever since I can re-
member. Everyone in my life had
tried to let me down gently, so I
studied other things, and worked
other jobs, but
this just
wouldnt leave
me. So about
five years ago,
I told my fami-
ly that I have
to really give
this a shot,
she said.
She and her
husband,
Alaric, met in high school in Cali-
fornia, where they each knew
what they would eventually go on
to do.
He would say, Im going to be
a chemist, and I
would say, Im
going to be a
writer, Dyckman
said.
She explained
that her family has
been very involved
in her work, read-
ing drafts, attend-
ing events and lis-
tening to new
ideas.
Dyckmans 10-year-old daugh-
ter, Kaia, has even made a small
fortune from her mother by
earning $1 every time she points
out a grammatical or spelling
error while reading a published
book.

CALL FOR
ESTIMATES
Dyckmans third book expected to be out next spring
ration from the Paddington Bear
books by Michael Bond, Dyck-
man explained.
I loved his concept of how
things could just be chugging
along as normal and suddenly a
little bear shows up in your life,
she said. I love tea parties, I al-
ways have, and I thought would-
nt it be fun for a real bear to show
up?
Dyckman, a long-time fan of
Ezra Jack Keats, said she was
hugely honored to receive the
award. She explained that Tea
Party Rules was more challeng-
ing to write than Boy and Bot
because she was still busy pro-
moting her first work, noting that
it went through many rewrites, a
new title and cutting out some ad-
ditional characters to make it the
final award-winning product.
I could not have done it with-
out Scott Treimel, my agent. He
knows what makes a good story,
and he is not afraid to tell me
when Im not quite there yet, she
said.
Dyckman also attributed her
success to the help of The Society
of Childrens Book Writers and Il-
lustrators.
Without those guys, I never
would have figured the process
out. They helped me meet my
agent and three editors. Anybody
who wants to write for children
should check them out and go to
events. Also, read as much as you
can. The Lawrence Branch Li-
brary must have transferred in
thousands of books for me over
the years, she said.
In between writing her new
books and promoting the pub-
lished work, Dyckman often par-
ticipates in Skype sessions with
classes of young readers. She ex-
plained that since she does not
charge for a Skype event, there
are instances in which she has
been a schools first author en-
counter.
I love to Skype with schools, it
is such an energy buzz. I am al-
ways so excited to talk to kids
about books, and not just mine. I
love being allowed to go to a
school that otherwise might not
have been able to afford to let an
author in for a visit. When you
are a schools first author, it really
feels great, she said.
Dyckmans third book, Wolfy
the Bunny, will be out next
spring.

C
hange can be hard to accept at
times, and so, too, can reality.
So its no surprise that the re-
sults of a recent poll show that more
residents in New Jersey oppose merg-
ing their town with another than sup-
port it.
Thats a change from four years ago,
when a Rutgers-Eagleton poll found
that more than half of the states resi-
dents favored mergers. Analysts say
the change in heart can be attributed
to Gov. Christies 2 percent cap on
property tax increases.
But while Christies cap has worked
for limiting tax increases, for now, we
dont know how long that will last.
Christie has been pushing for munici-
pal mergers for a few years now, and
he may turn up the heat on towns
soon.
You see, the state is in financial
trouble. Once again, revenues fell very
short of projections, this time by $800
million. Christie deflected blame, say-
ing many states overestimated tax rev-
enues, partly because wealthy people
began holding onto their money once
federal temporary tax cuts expired.
That may be true, but it doesnt
change the reality: New Jersey is in
the red, big time, and it may require
some serious budget cuts to get out.
Throw in the fact that were less than
two months from the end of the fiscal
year, and we could have a crisis on our
hands.
That brings us back to the issue of
consolidation. The state isnt getting
any better when it comes to taxes. So
while municipal tax increases have
stabilized over the last few years due
to the cap, the state as a whole collects
the most in property taxes on aver-
age a whopping $8,000 per home.
Taxes may have stabilized, but they
arent likely to go down any time
soon unless something is done on the
local level.
And that something could be con-
solidation.
Residents who are fearful of such a
move because of the lack of control,
lack of small-town identity, potential
compromise of services, safety and ed-
ucation among other issues can
look no further than Princeton as an
example. The municipality just ended
its first full year of consolidation be-
tween the former Princeton Borough
and Princeton Township, and by all ac-
counts, it was a success.
The consolidated municipality saw
a more than 4 percent reduction in the
budget because of the merger, while
not compromising on safety, security,
education and other services.
So why not follow Princetons lead?
Why not find a willing partner to
merge with, share services with and
save some money? Its an idea that
might become a requirement, instead
of an option, sometime soon.
Is it time for consolidation?
You may not like the idea, but it may be the best, and only, choice

towns to save on taxes? Share your

Grant to support programs through schools
By NORA CARNEVALE
The Sun
The Lawrence Township Education
Foundation recently announced its award
of $62,000 to support more than 20 new pro-
grams throughout Lawrence Township
Public Schools. The foundation presents
awards in response to teacher requests in
the fall and spring of each academic year.
The grants provide funding for projects
and programs that would normally be out-
side the regular budget.
Elementary school grants will be provid-
ed for several new programs. All district el-
ementary schools will receive financial
support for a program for first graders to
receive enhanced outdoor learning experi-
ences through observation and discovery.
A ceramic frieze will be created at Eldridge
Park Elementary School, and Slackwood
School will receive sensory equipment to
enhance the autistic support program.
Children with autism and sensory dis-
orders can benefit from certain types of
equipment that stimulate the fundamental
senses, such as a weighted snake tool that
has been used. It organizes the students
sensory system. Sensory stimulation tools
help to increase balance, sensory integra-
tion and focus attention, Ivy Cohen, exec-
utive director of the Lawrence Township
Education Foundation, said.
Hands-on learning kits will be imple-

Annual NAMI Mercer Walk
event scheduled for May 17
By NORA CARNEVALE
The Sun
Mayor Cathleen Lewis will
serve as one of the honorary
chairs of the seventh Annual
NAMI Mercer Walk on May 17 on
the campus of the Educational
Testing Service. NAMI Mercer is
an affiliate of the National Al-
liance on Mental Illness and will
sponsor the event with the dual
goals of fighting stigma and rais-
ing money to support the free pro-
grams it provides to individuals
and families affected by mental ill-
ness.
NAMI Mercer has touched the
lives of more than 500 residents in
more than 430 member house-
holds in the area, Christine Bak-
ter, director of development for
NAMI Mercer, said.
NAMI Mercer advocates and
provides support and education
for anyone dealing with the chal-
lenges of mental illness. It offers
support groups to children, young
adults and adults. NAMI Basics is
an education course for families
dealing with a new diagnosis for
children younger than 18, and
older individuals can take advan-
tage of a Family to Family class.
NAMI Mercer recently rolled out
a new initiative that provides con-
tinuing education credits to in-
structors as part of the Parents
and Teachers as Allies partner-
ship with area schools. The
course instructs teachers in rec-
ognizing mental illness in school
environments and how to foster
development and education.
Bakter explained that the bulk
of the organizations operating
budget results from proceeds of
the annual NAMI Mercer Walk.
We have a goal of raising
$150,000 this year which will sup-
port the majority of the pro-
grams, she said.
Typically, 800 to 1,000 people at-
tend the popular community
event, and Bakter explained that
many teams involved have been
participating in the walk for the
full seven years since the events
conception. Bakter said the 19-
member board and many commit-
ted volunteers are always seen at
the event, but it is open to new
teams.
There are currently 66 teams
registered, but I would love to see
that increase by at least another
10. Anybody can register. Even if
someone just walks up to us on
walk day and wants to participate,
that is fine too, she said.
The event will also feature a
wellness fair with more than 15
vendors. Bakter explained that be-
sides corporate or media spon-
sors, the event requires vendors to
have some connection to mental
wellness. Several vendors that
will be present include Greater
Trenton Behavioral Healthcare,
Capital County Childrens Collab-
orative and Mercer County Tech-
nical School. MCTS students will
be giving free massages to walk
participants.
In addition to Lewis, honorary
chairs include Mercer County Ex-
ecutive Brian Hughes and all 15th
District Legislative chairs: Sen.
Shirley Turner, Assemblywoman
Bonnie Watson Coleman and As-
semblyman Reed Gusciora.

mented for second- and third-
grade students at Lawrenceville
Elementary School, and Ben
Franklin Elementary School stu-
dents will benefit from non-fic-
tion leveled reading books and in-
teractive math software.
A major highlight of the grants
is the addition of 3D printers at
Lawrence Intermediate School
and Lawrence Middle School. At
LIS, students will have access to a
3D printer and the technology lab
will feature Minecraft EDU.
The Minecraft EDU program
for fifth graders is a huge thing. It
is such a popular game among
that age group, and it really has
an educational component,
Cohen said. It has everything
from architecture to math to sci-
ence.
LMS students will be able to
use the 3D printer in their tech-
nology lab to explore careers re-
lating to science, technology, engi-
neering and math, or as the dis-
trict refers to it, STEM.
The kids are super excited
about the 3D printers. We are ex-
cited to be able to implement
them. They see them on TV and
hear about them, but to have
them in the building and really
see how they work is very excit-
ing to them, Cohen said.
Cohen said she believes the dis-
trict will keep taking steps for-
ward in terms of the technology
it makes available to students.
I think kids are starting earli-
er and earlier. They are exposed
to so many things at such young
ages, then teachers have these
ideas and they ask us for the
money. We make sure that what
we are giving aligns nicely with
the curriculum, and that the
school has the tools to implement
it, such as hardware, software
and licensing, she said.
Another highlight of the many
new programs being implement-
ed as a result of the grants is an
artist-in-residence program with
the Philadelphia Shakespeare
Company at Lawrence High
School.
The English department has a
challenge of teaching Shake-
speare to modern students. The
early English barrier can inhibit
the students from fully appreciat-
ing and understanding it, Cohen
said. The artists will engage stu-
dents in in-depth activities ex-
ploring and expanding their un-
derstanding.
A complete list of the grants
can be found at www.ltefnj.org.

On the evening of Friday, April
4, PEI Kids hosted its 23rd Annual
Dinner and Auction fundraiser at
Greenacres Country Club in
Lawrenceville. More than 150 peo-
ple attend the event to bid on auc-
tion items provided by local
restaurants and businesses and to
listen to live music. With the sup-
port of nearly 30 sponsors, the
event raised nearly $50,000 for PEI
Kids child abuse prevention and
intervention services.
The event was an overwhelm-
ing success, says Ventura Wealth
Management President and PEI
Kids Board of Trustees President
Nicholas Ventura. We beat our
fundraising goal for the evening
by a wide margin. We could not
be more thrilled with the commu-
nity support we received this
evening.
Weve hosted PEI Kids Annu-
al Dinner & Auction in the past,
and its always a wonderful af-
fair, says manager of
Greenacres Country Club Larry
Bienapfl.
PEI Kids is a wonderful or-
ganization, and we are thrilled
Greenacres Country Club could
be of service to them this
evening.
To learn how you can partici-
pate in PEI Kids Annual Dinner
& Auction next year, please con-

lations Coordinator Jesse Elliot at

ner and Auction fundraiser at the Greenacres Country Club in

Saumya and Shriya Shetty,
eighth graders at Lawrence Mid-
dle School, from Girl Scout Troop
70626, led and organized an event
called Live Healthy, Lead
Healthy as part of their Girl
Scout Silver Award Take Action
project.
This event was held on March
27 at Ben Franklin Elementary
School during its fifth annual Sci-
ence Night. The Shetty girls,
along with their fellow Girl
Scouts' help, reached out to the
community to make them aware
of the importance of living
healthy and leading a healthy life
covering three important as-
pects healthy eating, physical
fitness and self-esteem.
The event included fun learn-
ing activities for children such as
food pyramid sticker puzzles,
My Plate coloring sheets, a
physical fitness station, as well as
a healthy eating station that in-
cluded the tasting of a healthy
recipe.
Their main focus was to send
out the message to drink more
water than soda or juice.
More than 250 reusable water
bottles were given out to people
attending in the hope that chil-
dren and parents will choose to
drink water over other sugary
drink options. Saumya and
Shriya chose to hold this event at
Ben Franklin Elementary School
during its Science Night since
their goal was to reach a vast
crowd of elementary aged chil-
dren. They believe that if chil-
dren start to eat healthy at an
early age they most likely will
continue eating and living
healthy as they grow.
Saumya and Shriya plan to cre-
ate and maintain a blog to post
important information of living
and leading a healthy life. They
have been part of Girl Scout
Troop 70626 since first grade
under the leadership of Angela
Drake.
They convey their special
thanks to Mr. Turnbull, Mrs.
Drake, Mrs. Cimorelli, Ms. Turn-
er, Mrs. Muzi, Mr. Colavita, all the
fellow Scouts from Troop 70626
and the GSCSNJ for all their help
and support throughout their
project.

Eight Lawrence Intermediate
School students went to the Rah-
way seventh and eighth Grade
Academy in Rahway in mid-April
to participate in a one-day Honors
Band Festival. Allison Kershner,
LIS band and orchestra director,
accompanied the students and
had nominated them initially
based on their performance in the
LIS concert band.
Festival organizers selected
nominated students and placed
them into one of three bands: the
Red Band, the White Band
and the Blue Band. Students
received acceptance letters and
music a few weeks before the fes-
tival so they had time to practice.
The festival day was filled with
practice, hard work and time to
make new friends. Students were
placed in ensembles of up to 100
performers from around Central
New Jersey. Everyone was seated
next to a student from another
school whom they did not know.
Students worked together to re-
hearse and performed a concert
at the end of the day. Additional-
ly, festival organizers tapped Mrs.
Kershner to conduct the White
Band.
Red Band students include
Kaitlyn Malyszka bass clarinet
and Dylan Morris tenor saxo-
phone. White Band students in-
clude Kellen Conway clarinet,
Shiamak Kalwachwala trom-
bone, Justin Knab Baritone,
Joelle DAngelo tuba, Will Yuch-
mow percussion. The Blue Band
consisted of Kiran Hiremath
flute.
