    Mayor Cathleen Lewis said,We here on council have weath-ered a difficult storm, we havemade tough and unpopular choic-es, but you have made that palat-able. We are out of the woods nowand can plan for the future.

    The council unanimously in-troduced this years budget at theApril 1 meeting. The budget of

    $43.1 million represents a $347,858decrease from last year. The mu-nicipal tax rate is 52.7 cents per$100 of assessed home value,which is a 43-cent decrease fromlast years municipal tax rate of94 cents.

    After the recent townshiprevaluation, a homeowner withthe 2014 average assessment of$281,970 will pay $1,486 in munici-

    pal taxes. That figure demon-strates a decrease of $21, or 1.39percent, from last years averageassessment of $160,262 by which ataxpayer paid $1,507.

    Township Manager RichardKrawczun went over several high-lights of the new budget, whichinclude a $659,020 increase in theamount to be raised by taxation,$24.1 million. The reserve for un-collected taxes has also increased;it is up $144,731. The amount of

    surplus anticipated as revenue inthe 2014 municipal budget is $3.45million, a $100,000 increase overthe prior level applied as revenuein excess of the prior year, whichhas not occurred in the past fivemunicipal budgets.

    Councilman Michael Powersexplained that the township wasforced to use surplus funds to off-set the financial burdens to resi-

    dents as a result of the 2008 eco-nomic recession, but now the re-serve is being replenished.

    You should be applauded forthat, he said to Krawczun.

    The new budget does not in-clude any township layoffs andmaintains the same number ofpolice officers. Krawczun men-tioned there are many new re-cruits going through the academysoon.

    I am very happy to see that

    circumstances are changing forthe better in the township, Coun-cilman Stephen Brame said.

    The budget will be open forpublic discussion at the April 16council meeting.

    or the next two weeks, police

    forces throughout the state will

    be looking, long and hard, for

    drivers who are distracted. Its part of

    the Division of Highway Traffic Safe-

    tys Distracted Driving 2014 Statewide

    Crackdown.

    Sixty police departments received$5,000 each to pay for increased patrols

    and checkpoints for the crackdown,

    which began April 1 and runs through

    April 21. The campaign coincides with

    the national Distracted Driving

    Awareness Month.

    Its a good start, but the state should

    really go further to improve public

    safety on our roadways.In 2012, an estimated 421,000 people

    were injured in crashes involving a

    distracted driver, which represents a 9

    percent increase over the year before,

    according to state data. Possibly the

    most public case was that of 8-month-

    old Angelie Paredes, who was killedlast summer when a distracted bus

    driver lost control of the vehicle in

    West New York and struck a light pole

    that fell onto the babys stroller.

    Distracted driving focuses on tex-

    ting or talking on the phone while

    driving, but it also can include using a

    mobile phone for directions, using

    MP3 players, eating or putting onmakeup.

    The fine for a first offense of dis-

    tracted driving in New Jersey is $200,

    but its a non-point-carrying offense.

    We wonder if $200 and no points is

    enough of a deterrent to drivers. Or

    maybe campaigns such as this one will

    help, in that more drivers will be

    pulled over for the offense.

    Either way, we believe the state, and

    maybe even the federal government,

    should step in to increase the penalties

    for distracted driving, and make driv-

    ing in todays mobile society easier tonavigate.

    Can the National Highway Traffic

    Safety Administration require all new

    vehicles to be equipped with Bluetooth

    technology, like it is requiring all new

    vehicles to have backup cameras by

    2018?

    While it certainly wouldnt solve the

    problem, as the driver would have tohave a Bluetooth-compatible device for

    it to work, its something that is be-

    coming more standard by the day.

    It wouldnt be the solve-all to the

    problem of distracted driving, but it

    would certainly be an effective start.

    in our opinion

    UDrive. UText. UPay.State should go further tocrack down on distracted driving, permanently

    Your thoughts

    What do you think about the states pushto reduce distracted drivers? Should thecrackdown be in effect full-time? Shouldthe state and federal governments domore to help drivers avoid beingdistracted? Share your thoughts with us.

    Hoodie Pillows, which was a product fea-tured on the show that gained financialbacking, spoke to students.

    Mick Cimorelli, LHS math teacher, ad-vises the Business and International Stud-ies Academy.

    We thought it was a great opportunityto build financial awareness and literacy. I

    love the show, and the idea came up some-time last year. Of course, we dont have bil-lionaires to start these companies. The stu-dents and teachers competing are usingtheir own ideas and companies, but theyare not viable or functioning, so we needed

    to make it more like a game show,Cimorelli explained.

    The LHS juniors and seniors in the acad-emy are mostly interested in majoring inbusiness in some capacity, and it was real-world experience for them to seek out busi-nesses to sponsor the event.

    Ive really been pressing them to focuson differentiation of their company, howthey are going to value it, what currentcompanies they can compare them to. It isa great practice for students to learn valua-tion, Cimorelli said.

    He explained that having a real contest-ant from the show was a huge wake-up callfor students.

    He explained everything that goes intostarting and owning a business andlaunching a product, the litigation, patents

    and marketing, Cimorelli said. He ex-plained how much of a boom Shark Tankcan be for a company, but then most give ita year-long window before that marketingappeal wears off, so it is important to comeup with new ways to make money.

    The Business and International StudiesAcademy provides many unique opportu-nities for students to learn from hands-onexperience in addition to the competition.The academy helps connect students to in-ternships, takes trips to businesses in NewYork City and has had previous partner-

    ships with Dow Jones.

    BIRTHS

    Did you or someone youknow recently welcome a babyinto the family? Send us yourbirth announcement and wewill print it, free of charge.

    Since losing her son Kenny tosuicide in 2009, Tricia Baker hasbenefited tremendously from hertherapy dog Miki. Only a year

    later, she began sharing the bene-fits of having therapy dogs dur-ing Rider Universitys Annual PetTherapy Day. In addition, Triciahas done so much more, alongwith her husband Kurt anddaughter Katelyn, to educate stu-dents about mental health, relat-ed disorders and suicide preven-tion through the familys nonprof-it organization, Attitudes in Re-verse.

    The Bakers use therapy dogs intheir programs Coming Up forAIR educational program andAIR Dogs: Paws for Minds,through which displaced dogs aretrained to serve as EmotionalSupport Animals for individualswith mental health disorders orother types of disabilities.

    The Bakers recently launchedan In Their Shoes campaign,which creates a powerful, visualaspect to their mission to save

    lives.Our goal is to build under-

    standing and empathy for teensand young adults. Most mental

    health disorders develop in thisage group. They also have a highrisk of suicidal thoughts and be-haviors, especially if they dontreceive mental health treatment,the Bakers said.

    The campaign was introducedduring the 2013 National SuicidePrevention Day at an event thatAIR co-hosted with the New Jer-sey Department of Human Serv-ices and New Jersey Associationof Mental Health and AddictionAgencies.

    As attendees entered the DHSconference room, they walkedthrough a display of shoes, repre-senting the 234 New Jersey youth(19 to 24 years of age) who com-pleted suicide between 2009 and2011, according to DCFs Updated2012 Adolescent Suicide Report.Nationally, one out of every 12college and university studentsseriously considers suicide and

    one out of every 10 attempts it, ac-cording to the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention.

    Attached to each pair of shoes

    is a tag printed with a statementthat represents thoughts and feel-ings that could lead to youths sui-cidal thoughts and behaviors.

    The Bakers worked with RiderOutreach to plan the next exhibitof In Their Shoes at the universi-ty on April 10 from 11:30 a.m. to 2p.m.

    Counselors from Rider Uni-versity attended our annual eventin May and informed me that anumber of students continue tosee the counselors to talk aboutKenny and his death, TriciaBaker said. Once Kurt and Ithought of the In Their Shoescampaign, it naturally occurredto us to bring the exhibit to theuniversity.

    AIRs annual event, the Miki &Friends 5K Run and Walk forAIR, will be held on May 17.Please visit www.attitudesinre-verse.org for details.
