Eagle Scout project sparks art contest
By JULIE STIPE
The Robbinsville Sun
For their Eagle Scout projects,
many Boy Scouts clear and mark
trails, or build picnic tables and
benches. Robbinsville Boy Scout
Jeff Kalczynski took a slightly
different tack.
Kalczynski chose to hold an art
contest for students at Pond Road
Middle School to pick designs
that would be used as murals on a
wall inside the Robbinsville Fire-
house, and on the wall of a shed
at Tantum Park. The idea,
Kalczynski explained, grew out of
his desire to do a project that
would involve the fire station,
since firefighters have always
been a big part of his life.
My grandfather was a fire-
man in Trenton for a long time,
Kalczynski said.
When Kalczynski went to the
fire station to find out what need-
ed to be done, officers offered him
two options paint the engine
bay, or paint a mural on the wall.
Kalczynski decided the mural
project better fit the goal of an
Eagle Scout project, and eventual-
ly expanded the project to include
Tantum Park as well as the mid-
dle school, which engaged more
of the community in the project.
The whole idea was a work in
progress, Kalczynski said. It
just kept expanding and morph-
ing.
With the help of former Rob-
binsville High School art teacher
Natalie DiSantis, who helped
Kalczynski design the project, he
created and handed out 800 flyers
to students describing the project
and asking for submissions of de-
signs for the two murals.
Kalczynski received 65 entries
for both murals. The winner
among the firestation entries was
chosen by Fire Chief Chuck Petty,
and Tantum Park entries were
judged by Recreation Director Joe
Barker.
To decorate the wall of the fire-
house, Petty chose 10-year-old
Tessa Carlins entry, which de-
picted a fire truck inside a fire-
house. Carlin entered the contest
because of her interest in art, and
chose to submit a piece of art-
work for the firehouse mural be-
cause of a personal connection,
like Kalczynski, with firefighting.
I like to draw, and a lot of my
uncles are firefighters, Carlin
said. Thats why I wanted it in
the firehouse.
Carlins design, which is sim-
ple but striking, didnt take her
long to come up with, she said.
I just thought of it right
away, Carlin said.
Carlin enjoys art, and said she
keeps a notebook in which she
sketches. I really like to draw,
she said.
Submissions to the contest
were made on average nine-by-
eleven inch pieces of paper,
which meant the winning designs
had to be expanded to fit the walls
of the firehouse and Tantum
Park shed.
For this, Kalczynski turned to
Robbinsville High School senior
Melissa Thompson. Thompson
went to school with Kalczynski,
where the two sat at the same
lunch table and got to know each
other during their senior year at
Robbinsville High.
Thompson has always been in-
terested in art, and intends to go
to school for art education to be-

By JULIE STIPE
The Robbinsville Sun
Friday, July 13, kids from Rob-
binsvilles summer recreation
camp noisily filled Sharon Ele-
mentary Schools auditorium for
the annual talent show.
Kids as young as first grade
displayed their artwork, told
jokes, performed original dance
routines, sung and even jump-
roped on stage.
Recreation camp counselor
Nicole Douglass said the kids
chose their talent and designed
their performance without help
from adults.
Its whatever they want to do,
Douglass said.
Any student in either Rob-
binsvilles recreation camp for
kids from first through sixth
grades, or from the townships
sports camp, for kids in fourth
through seventh grades may
participate in the show. The tal-
ent show had 29 acts this year,
Douglass said.
The talent show also coincided
with the conclusion of a food
drive held by the camp for the
first time this year and initiated
by assistant camp director Kevin
Keener.
During the school year, Keener
works for the Robbinsville Ex-
tended Day program, and does a
food drive every November for
Thanksgiving. This year he did
another food drive in the spring
as well.
I find it rewarding, Keener
said.
So rewarding, in fact, that
Keener started a food drive at the
recreation camp as well. The idea
was sparked by a conversation
Keener had with food pantry di-
rector Renee Burns.
She said the pantry is lowest
in food during the summer,
Keener said. Keener learned that
donations spike during the win-
ter holidays but drop when the
weather gets warmer.
Having recreation camp kids
collect canned and boxed food
items and bring them in over the
course of the first three weeks of
camp seemed like a good way to
help out the Robbinsville food
pantry and teach kids about help-
ing others, Keener said.
We explained to kids that its
always good to give, Keener said.
Keener set a goal for the kids of
500 cans, jars, or boxed dry goods
by the third week of camp, and as
an incentive, promised kids that
if they reached the goal one of
the counselors would shave his
head.
We thought that would be
fun, Keener said.
Counselors sent kids home
with flyers telling parents about

Robbinsville Township
teams up with Revelstone
Revelstone, a provider of local
government and municipal per-
formance data solutions, has en-
tered an agreement with Rob-
binsville Township to purchase
Revelstones comprehensive per-
formance measurement platform,
Compass. Robbinsville Township
selected Compass as its perform-
ance management solution based
on the platforms pre-defined
measures, benchmarking and
reporting and analysis capabili-
ties.
Compass gathers data from
departments within a township
allowing that township to meas-
ure, track and compare their mu-
nicipalitys performance to peer
organizations. This ability to
gauge a township against peers in
another community of compara-
ble size is a valuable tool, said
Dave Fried, mayor of Rob-
binsville Township. We are con-
vinced the Revelstone strategy of
organizing, storing and sharing
data with so many communities
will be extremely valuable to
mayors across the country.
Government performance
management is an ongoing, sys-
tematic approach to improving
results through fact-based deci-
sion making, continuous organi-
zational learning and a focus on
accountability. Robbinsville
Township is leading the way
through innovation in which
local governments and munici-
palities manage day-to-day tasks
and review trends, said Mark
Nelson, co-founder and chief op-
erating officer of Revelstone.
Compass enables administrators
to make decisions based on statis-
tics which is crucial as a decision-
maker in municipal govern-

the drive, and encouraged kids
who brought in food by acknowl-
edging them at the days morning
meeting.
The kids liked it a lot because
they got recognition, Keener
said.
By the end of the three weeks,
Keener said, the drive had collect-
ed 522 canned goods for the
pantry.
I was very very happy with
the outcome of everything, said
Keener.
Counselor Tyler Margotta vol-
unteered to have his head shaved
for the cause he had the least
amount of hair, Douglass said
and to the glee of campers, was
shaved onstage by Keener and
camp counselor Steve Kowalski.
Keener said he hopes to make
the food drive an annual event
like the talent show. The kids had
fun, he said, and the event gave a
much-needed boost to the local
food pantry.
Its a win-win situation,
Keener said.

ment.
The platforms benchmarking
capabilities are advantageous to
elected officials because it allows
them to provide residents with a
clear methodology about why a
certain change makes sense both
financially and in terms of its
benefits to the entire community.
Aside from benchmarking and
making fact-based decisions,
Fried foresees additional benefits
from the use of Compass. We
will not only be able to share in-
formation in order to track cer-
tain trends, but there also is the
opportunity to forge new busi-
ness alliances that could ulti-
mately benefit all residents, says
Fried.
Any time an elected official
can relate empirical statistical
data to residents it provides a fac-
tual and historical rationale for
why any type of change or project
makes sense, and that the deci-
sion was not indiscriminately
reached on a whim, continued
Fried.

I
ts hard to believe, but a new school
year is almost upon us. In a few
short weeks, schools open.
But what will be different about this
school year?
Were going to find out. Right now,
our reporters are compiling lists of
questions for school leaders about the
new school year.
Are there new classes students and
parents need to know about?
How about scheduling changes?
Was any work done at the schools
over the summer?
If your school district switched its
annual election to November, well ask
if there will be any noticeable impact
on the schools.
Generally, well be asking school
leaders to tell us about things that
you parents, taxpayers and students
need to know before the 2012-13 school
year begins.
Then, we will pass that information
along to you.
Do you have any questions youd like
our reporters to ask? If so, the time to
act is now.
Maybe you are concerned about the
budget (who isnt?). Or maybe youve
heard about a new program that you
think might be ideal for your child. Or
perhaps you are wondering about re-
pairs that were scheduled for your
childs school.
Wed love to get those questions from
you. Just send an email to us so that we
can include them on our lists.
Most school districts have done a lot
in recent years to be more responsive
to questions submitted by the public. It
makes sense. Everyone wants to have
great schools. Everyone wants to keep
taxes as low as possible, while still pro-
viding great service. One of the best
ways to achieve these goals is to build a
true public-private partnership be-
tween schools and the communities
they serve. And building that relation-
ship starts with effective communica-
tion.
So send us your questions. Well do
our best to get answers.
in our opinion
Ready for school?
Its August, so school doors open in only a few weeks
Any questions?
We are tracking down school leaders to
ask them questions about the upcom-
ing school year. So whats on your
mind? Send us your questions, and
well do our best to get answers.

come an art teacher.
Kalczynski knew of Thomp-
sons enthusiasm for art, and
asked if she would be willing to
volunteer her abilities to aid the
project.
He knew I liked to draw,
Thompson said. I told him Id
like to help him.
Thompson was put in charge of
transferring the designs to the
walls of the firehouse and shed
no easy feat. She did the transfer
by hand, without using any com-
plicated techniques.
I would just look at it and look
at the wall, and I tried to place
where it would go, Thompson
said.
After Thompson was done
drawing the outlines, it was time
for the actual painting. Many
members of the community
helped with this, Kalczynski said,
including Boy Scouts, high school
students in need of volunteer
hours, and community members
not affiliated with any particular
group.
We had a wide variety of peo-
ple come to help, Kalczynski
said.
As it turned out, Kalczynski
said, organizing and coordinating
all the groups involved, such as
the school district, the fire depart-
ment, the public works depart-
ment, the parks and recreation
department and the Boy Scouts,
was the hardest part of the proj-
ect.
In total, Kalczynski said, about
150 hours were spent on the proj-
ect by all those involved. Kalczyn-
ski spent 71 hours planning and
executing the project, and about
125 hours were spent actually
painting the murals.
Eleven-year-old and designer of
the Tantum Park mural Tori DiS-
tefano got to watch the gradual
results of all those hours of paint-
ing, as her mural slowly appeared
in Tantum Park. DiStefano plays
softball, she said, and every time
she came to the park, the mural
would be closer to completion.
Every playoff game I had Id
go to see it and something new
would be added, DiStefano said.
For the Tantum Park mural,
Kalczynski had asked for a sports
theme, so DiStefano began with
baseball as the central focus by
drawing baseball bats and base-
balls, and added other sports
paraphernalia as they occurred
to her.
I just thought of it as I went,
DiStefano said.
As for seeing her artwork dis-
played for all to see?
Its cool, DiStefano said. It
definitely came out really well.

AUGUST 1-7, 2012 THE ROBBINSVILLE SUN 9
According to a 2011 College
Board report, as the nation pre-
pares to meet President Obamas
goal of 8 million new college
graduates by 2020, the transfer
process the pathway between
community colleges and four-
year institutions will take on
an increasingly vital role.
Mercer County Community
College (MCCC) is partnering
with multiple four-year institu-
tions to help its graduates make
that transition, while saving
them significant dollars in the
process.
According to MCCCs Director
of Transfer Services Laurene
Jones, Families today are faced
with high costs at four-year col-
leges, and more are turning to
community colleges as a way of
making college affordable. Na-
tionwide there has been an in-
crease in the number of commu-
nity college students, coupled
with a decline in their average
age.
In addition to articulation
agreements with numerous col-
leges, MCCC holds Dual Admis-
sions Agreements with others,
and partners with three schools
through The University Center
which offers bachelors degree
programs right at the colleges
West Windsor Campus --William
Paterson University, Fairleigh
Dickinson University and Feli-
cian College.
Additional articulation agree-
ments signed in recent months
have added opportunities for stu-
dents who wish to begin at
MCCC, then transfer their credits
and continue at a four-year
school. Rutgers Business School
(RBS) now enables Business Ad-
ministration or Liberal Arts hon-
ors graduates to enter with third
year (junior) status if they have a
minimum GPA of 3.5. A partner-
ship with Drexel University en-
ables Nursing graduates to trans-
fer their credits and earn their BS
in Nursing online. For Education
graduates, The College of New
Jersey (TCNJ) enables easy trans-
fer into the Technology/Pre-Engi-
neering Education major. At
Rowan University, Mercers Engi-
neering Science graduates can
more easily enter a variety of
bachelors degree programs in
the Rowan School of Engineer-
ing.
Two new agreements assist
Mercers Fire Science graduates,
who can now transfer up to 70
credits to the University of Mary-
lands Fire Service Administra-
tion bachelors degree program,
where scholarships are offered to
students with a GPA of 3.0 or bet-
ter.
At Holy Family University, Fire
Science graduates can transfer
more easily into the bachelor of
arts degree in Fire Science and
Public Safety Administration.
MCCCs Fire Science program is
offered in conjunction with the
Dempster Fire Training Center.
Through Dual Admissions Pro-
grams, MCCC graduates who fol-
low a specific course of study and
graduate with the required grade
point average are guaranteed ad-
mission to one of nine four-year
colleges. These programs are de-
signed for students who are just
beginning their college work and
who have selected a major and a
specific college that they plan to
attend.
Participating schools are
TCNJ, Rider, Rutgers, LaSalle,
Montclair State, NJIT, Penn State
Abington, Saint Peters College
and Wilmington University.
