The Robbinsville Raven Regiment performs at Robbinsvilles St. Patricks Day Parade on March 24, with band director Birch Wilson alongside.
The band is currently raising funds for its trip to Hawaii on Dec. 7, where it will represent the state of New Jersey in the Pearl Harbor
Memorial Parade.
Township
master
plan to be
examined
By JULIE STIPE
The Robbinsville Sun
At a meeting on Thursday,
June 14, members of Rob-
binsville township council
passed a recommendation that
the planning board re-examine
the township master plan.
A townships master plan
contains the overall vision of
community leaders for a town
in terms of land use, develop-
ment, transportation and
recreation, among other
things.
The re-examination will
focus on ways the township
can spur economic develop-
ment by encouraging busi-
nesses to move into the area.
The township is working
with urban planner Justin Au-
ciello, who was hired to pro-
vide to the council informa-
tion to identify ways to boost
economic growth, said town-
ship engineer Tim McGough.
Auciello looked for areas in
the township that would be
ideal for businesses and might
benefit from rezoning to allow
or encourage commercial de-
velopment. We want to con-
tinue the townships policy to
spur economic development,
Auciello said.
Auciello said he recognizes
that ratables are down in the
township, while residential de-
velopment has continued,
Regiment band headed to Hawaii
By JULIE STIPE
The Robbinsville Sun
In December, the Robbinsville
Raven Regiment band was hold-
ing its end of the year party when
band director Birch Wilson made
an announcement.
He said, Unfortunately youre
not allowed to go to Disney this
year, recalled Raven Regiment
booster club president Cheryl
Krakowski. The bands tradition
is to visit Disney World as a group
every other year, so the students
were disappointed and confused
at first.
Youre going to Hawaii! Wil-
son announced suddenly.
The regiment was stunned for
a few seconds. It took a minute to
register, said Michelle Krakows-
ki, daughter of Cheryl Krakowski
and member of the regiments
color guard.
He surprised a lot of people,
said Cheryl Krakowski. I knew
about it but I didnt know how he
was going to spring it on them.
That night Wilson announced
that the Raven Regiment will be
going to Hawaii on Dec. 7 of this
year to represent New Jersey in
the Pearl Harbor Memorial Pa-
rade as musical ambassadors.
When the news did sink in, the
kids were ecstatic. Were really,
really, really excited and hon-
ored, said Michelle Krakowski.
Its a huge honor, said Raven
Regiment booster club fundrais-
ing chair Lisa Skopas. Theres
only ever one band picked per
state.
Its especially exciting for the
Raven Regiment because the
band is relatively new, as is Rob-
binsvilles high school. The band
is in its seventh season, and has
done very well in competitions
over the past few years.
We have quite a few first-place
awards, Krakowski said.

In celebration of this years an-
niversary of the Declaration of
Independence, People for Ani-
mals Robbinsville clinic will help
feral cat caregivers in select coun-
ties stretch their limited re-
sources by spaying and neutering
their feline wards for only $17.76
in July.
This offer is limited to feral cat
caregivers residing in Burling-
ton, Mercer, Monmouth and
Ocean counties. In addition to
spay/neuter surgery, cats will be
given a physical examination,
vaccinated against rabies, rhino-
tracheitis, calici, and panleukope-
nia and eartipped. All cats spayed
and neutered under this offer are
required to be eartipped. Eartip-
ping is the universal sign of a
fixed feral cat and involves re-
moving in a straight line approxi-
mately a quarter-inch off the tip
of the cat's left ear while the cat is
anesthetized for surgery.
A feral cat caregiver is some-
one who provides adequate food,
water and shelter to feral cats on
a daily basis and monitors their
health. Caregivers do these things
for the cats and spay/neuter them
using their own money. At times,
caregivers apply for and receive
grants from charities to
spay/neuter feral cats.
According to the ASPCA, feral
cats comprise a large percentage
of the 4 to 6 million cats eutha-
nized every year in animal shel-
ters in the United States.
In New Jersey in 2010 (the last
year for which data from the New
Jersey Department of Health and
Senior Services is available),
25,625 cats were euthanized in an-
imal shelters.
Twenty-nine percent of those
(7,438) were euthanized in
Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth
and Ocean counties.
To take advantage of this offer,
eligible caregivers should call
(609) 208-3252 or request an ap-
pointment online at www.pfaon-
line.org.

ism and dedication certainly im-
pressed the Pearl Harbor Memo-
rial Parade selection committee,
which Cheryl Krakowski ex-
plained chooses one marching
band to represent the state.
They scout out different
schools and make the decision
based on performance, Krakows-
ki said.
Unknown to Wilson, the boost-
er club, or any of the band mem-
bers, the Pearl Harbor parade se-
lection committee watched the
Raven Regiment in action at the
United States Scholastic Band As-
sociation National Champi-
onships in Allentown, Pa., and
later informed Wilson that the
Raven Regiment had been chosen
to represent the state.
Marching bands from several
states are chosen each year by the
committee to march in the pa-
rade, which takes place on Dec. 7
in the city of Honolulu on Oahu
Island, beginning at Fort
DeRussy and ending in Kapiolani
Park.
The band has also been invited
to perform on Dec. 6 on the USS
Missouri, a battleship-turned-me-
morial docked in Pearl Harbor.
Members of the band are
thrilled to be going to the beauti-
ful islands of Hawaii, of course,
but Krakowski and Skopas said
they believe that the full meaning
of the opportunity is beginning to
sink in for the kids, and theyre
hopeful that the trip will mean
more than just a chance to soak
up some sun on the beach.
Its about honoring our veter-
ans and fallen heroes, Skopas
said. Its become bigger for
them.
Hearing about the attack on
Pearl Harbor in class is one thing,
Skopas said, but it doesnt make
the same impact as visiting the
actual site and being a part of
honoring those who died defend-
ing it.
Now they actually get to go
and live it, said Skopas.
Since the news was an-
nounced, the booster club and
band members have been busy
ramping up their fundraising ef-
forts to pay for the trip, which will
cost around $2,000 per band mem-
ber. This doesnt include the cost
of shipping the bands equip-
ment, such as costumes, uni-
forms, and color guard props,
which will bring the total cost of
sending the band to the parade to
about $100,000-$120,000, Krakows-
ki said.
That would cover everybody
to go, she said. Its not cheap.
On Tuesday, June 12 the band
held a fundraiser at Ritas Water
Ice at Nottingham Way in Hamil-
ton and had a table at Rob-
binsville Community Day. The
regiment is also planning car
washes on Saturday, July 21 and
Saturday, Aug. 11 at the Rob-
binsville Fire Company.
In October and November,
color guard member Aditi Vast
said, the regiment typically holds
a cheesecake and chocolate
fundraiser, and band members
participate in other fundraising
activities throughout the year,
doing bagging at Shoprite and
running concession stands at
community events and festivals.
All the band members work
hard to help with the fundraising,
Skopas said. In fact, a number of
members of the band were sen-
iors this past year, including
Skopas daughter Hailey, mean-
ing they wont be going on the
trip to Hawaii, even though they
were part of the regiment when it
received the invitation.
But even the seniors are con-
tinuing to help the band raise
funds for the big trip in Decem-
ber, said Skopas. We got nomi-
nated together, and well
fundraise until the end, Skopas
said. Its a great group of kids
that we have.

binsville Raven Regiment, visit

in our opinion
T
he good news: New Jersey ac-
counted for 25 percent of all
new jobs created in the United
States in the month of May: 17,500 new
jobs were created.
The bad news: the states unemploy-
ment rate rose from 9.1 to 9.2 percent.
And lets be mindful: the 9.2 percent
figure really isnt an accurate unem-
ployment percentage at all.
There are countless people whose
unemployment benefits have run out,
and whose cases no longer count in de-
partment of labor statistics.
And there are others who may have
lost a job, who were ineligible for un-
employment benefits, and, again,
whose cases are not factored into the
state unemployment rate.
And so as encouraging as it is to
hear our state created the most new
jobs in the country, the overall known
unemployment numbers are still ex-
tremely alarming.
Gov. Christie says the new jobs re-
port means consumers are becoming
more confident.
The overall figures paint a complete-
ly different picture.
Were many years into this econom-
ic mess. And were still struggling as a
state, despite the so-called comeback.
While the governors 10 percent
across-the-board income-tax cut would
certainly help some, it certainly wont
help the middle class all that much.
A person making an annual salary
of $35,000 would see a whopping $1 a
week increase in take-home pay.
This is hardly enough to spark con-
sumer confidence.
Much more still needs to be done at
the federal and state levels to inspire
confidence. Realistically, the unem-
ployment percentage needs to drop to
close to 8 percent before theres any
reason for anyone to celebrate.
And even then, the numbers will
still be too high.
We look forward to the day we can
agree consumer confidence is back.
Were just not sure that time is here
yet.
States uptick in unemployment
Number rises despite creation of 17,500 new jobs; more must be done
How confident are you?
Gov. Christie says he believes con-
sumers in New Jersey are gaining
confidence. Yet the unemployment
rate jumped in May. How confident in
the economy are you? We want to
know.

hurting the municipalitys tax
base. Some complexes, such
Windsor Industrial Park on
North Main Street in Windsor,
have had problems filling their of-
fice space, Auciello said.
A change in the complexs zon-
ing it is currently in an OW, or
office-warehouse zone could
help it draw more businesses, Au-
ciello said. Council president
Chris Ciaccio agreed, pointing
out that retail is currently not
permitted in the complex and nei-
ther are businesses like karate
and dance studios.
Auciello said he identified
three areas in the township
where economic development is
appropriate and should be en-
couraged. The first is the town
center area on Route 130. The sec-
ond is the area on Route 130 in the
village of Windsor. The last is the
Windsor Industrial Park, also in
Windsor.
They all have great strengths
with their location, Auciello
said.
The master plan is broad in na-
ture, Auciello said, and can be up-
dated to reflect the townships de-
sire to spark economic develop-
ment. Nuances can be worked out
through zoning and various other
controls, but the master plan
should reflect the larger picture,
said Auciello.
The master plan is your vi-
sion and what you want to accom-
plish, he said.
Councilman Vince Calcagno
pointed out that some of the zon-
ing in Robbinsville was put in
place to avoid creating homoge-
nous swaths across the township,
and instead create the feeling of
coming into a town. Route 1,
Calcagno said, looks basically the
same for long stretches, and is an
example of the type of develop-
ment the township would like to
avoid. Calcagno emphasized the
need to retain the ability to re-
strict businesses and to ask that
they use design elements to make
storefronts unique.
Councilwoman Sheree Mc-
Gowan cautioned that too many
restrictions could drive business-
es away from the township in-
stead of encouraging them, al-
though she agreed to the need for
design standards.
Councilman Ron Witt, who at-
tended the meeting via speaker-
phone, asked Aurellio what the
timeframe might be for a reexam-
ination of the master plan.
Since the process would in-
volve public hearings, Aurellio
said a time frame would be diffi-
cult to predict and would ulti-
mately be up to the planning
board chairman.
