Eagle Scout project sparks art contestBy JULIE STIPE

The Robbinsville Sun

For their Eagle Scout projects,many Boy Scouts clear and marktrails, or build picnic tables andbenches. Robbinsville Boy ScoutJeff Kalczynski took a slightlydifferent tack.

Kalczynski chose to hold an artcontest for students at Pond RoadMiddle School to pick designsthat would be used as murals on awall inside the Robbinsville Fire-house, and on the wall of a shedat Tantum Park. The idea,Kalczynski explained, grew out ofhis desire to do a project thatwould involve the fire station,since firefighters have alwaysbeen a big part of his life.

My grandfather was a fire-man in Trenton for a long time,Kalczynski said.

When Kalczynski went to thefire station to find out what need-ed to be done, officers offered himtwo options paint the enginebay, or paint a mural on the wall.Kalczynski decided the mural

project better fit the goal of anEagle Scout project, and eventual-ly expanded the project to includeTantum Park as well as the mid-dle school, which engaged moreof the community in the project.

The whole idea was a work inprogress, Kalczynski said. It

just kept expanding and morph-ing.

With the help of former Rob-binsville High School art teacher

Natalie DiSantis, who helpedKalczynski design the project, he

created and handed out 800 flyersto students describing the projectand asking for submissions of de-signs for the two murals.

Kalczynski received 65 entriesfor both murals. The winneramong the firestation entries waschosen by Fire Chief Chuck Petty,and Tantum Park entries were

judged by Recreation Director JoeBarker.

To decorate the wall of the fire-

house, Petty chose 10-year-oldTessa Carlins entry, which de-

picted a fire truck inside a fire-house. Carlin entered the contestbecause of her interest in art, andchose 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 myuncles are firefighters, Carlinsaid. Thats why I wanted it inthe firehouse.

Carlins design, which is sim-

ple but striking, didnt take herlong to come up with, she said.

I just thought of it rightaway, Carlin said.

Carlin enjoys art, and said shekeeps a notebook in which shesketches. I really like to draw,she said.

Submissions to the contestwere made on average nine-by-eleven inch pieces of paper,which meant the winning designshad to be expanded to fit the wallsof the firehouse and Tantum

Park shed.For this, Kalczynski turned to

Robbinsville High School seniorMelissa Thompson. Thompsonwent to school with Kalczynski,where the two sat at the samelunch table and got to know eachother during their senior year atRobbinsville High.

Thompson has always been in-terested in art, and intends to goto school for art education to be-

Friday, July 13, kids from Rob-binsvilles summer recreationcamp noisily filled Sharon Ele-mentary Schools auditorium forthe annual talent show.

Kids as young as first gradedisplayed their artwork, told

jokes, performed original danceroutines, sung and even jump-roped on stage.

Recreation camp counselorNicole Douglass said the kids

chose their talent and designedtheir performance without helpfrom adults.

Its whatever they want to do,

Douglass said.Any student in either Rob-

binsvilles recreation camp forkids from first through sixthgrades, or from the townshipssports camp, for kids in fourththrough seventh grades mayparticipate in the show. The tal-ent show had 29 acts this year,Douglass said.

The talent show also coincidedwith the conclusion of a fooddrive held by the camp for thefirst time this year and initiatedby assistant camp director KevinKeener.

During the school year, Keenerworks for the Robbinsville Ex-tended Day program, and does afood drive every November for

Thanksgiving. This year he didanother food drive in the springas well.

I find it rewarding, Keenersaid.

So rewarding, in fact, thatKeener started a food drive at therecreation camp as well. The ideawas sparked by a conversationKeener had with food pantry di-rector Renee Burns.

She said the pantry is lowestin food during the summer,Keener said. Keener learned thatdonations spike during the win-ter holidays but drop when the

weather gets war mer.Having recreation camp kids

collect canned and boxed fooditems and bring them in over the

course of the first three weeks ofcamp seemed like a good way tohelp out the Robbinsville foodpantry and teach kids about help-ing others, Keener said.

We explained to kids that itsalways good to give, Keener said.

Keener set a goal for the kids of500 cans, jars, or boxed dry goodsby the third week of camp, and asan incentive, promised kids thatif they reached the goal one ofthe counselors would shave hishead.

We thought that would befun, Keener said.

Counselors sent kids homewith flyers telling parents about

Robbinsville Townshipteams up with Revelstone

Revelstone, a provider of localgovernment and municipal per-formance data solutions, has en-tered an agreement with Rob-binsville Township to purchaseRevelstones comprehensive per-formance measurement platform,Compass. Robbinsville Townshipselected Compass as its perform-ance management solution basedon the platforms pre-definedmeasures, benchmarking andreporting and analysis capabili-ties.

Compass gathers data fromdepartments within a townshipallowing that township to meas-ure, track and compare their mu-nicipalitys performance to peerorganizations. This ability togauge a township against peers inanother community of compara-ble size is a valuable tool, saidDave Fried, mayor of Rob-binsville Township. We are con-

vinced the Revelstone strategy oforganizing, storing and sharingdata with so many communitieswill be extremely valuable tomayors across the country.

Government performancemanagement is an ongoing, sys-tematic approach to improvingresults through fact-based deci-sion making, continuous organi-zational learning and a focus onaccountability. RobbinsvilleTownship is leading the waythrough innovation in which

local governments and munici-palities manage day-to-day tasksand review trends, said MarkNelson, co-founder and chief op-erating officer of Revelstone.Compass enables administratorsto make decisions based on statis-tics which is crucial as a decision-maker in municipal govern-

The kids liked it a lot becausethey got recognition, Keenersaid.

By the end of the three weeks,

Keener said, the drive had collect-ed 522 canned goods for thepantry.

I was very very happy withthe outcome of everything, saidKeener.

Counselor Tyler Margotta vol-unteered to have his head shaved

for the cause he had the leastamount of hair, Douglass said and to the glee of campers, wasshaved onstage by Keener andcamp counselor Steve Kowalski.

Keener said he hopes to makethe food drive an annual eventlike the talent show. The kids hadfun, he said, and the event gave amuch-needed boost to the localfood pantry.

Its a win-win situation,Keener said.

ment.The platforms benchmarking

capabilities are advantageous toelected officials because it allowsthem to provide residents with aclear methodology about why acertain change makes sense both

financially and in terms of itsbenefits to the entire community.Aside from benchmarking andmaking fact-based decisions,Fried foresees additional benefitsfrom the use of Compass. Wewill not only be able to share in-formation in order to track cer-tain trends, but there also is theopportunity to forge new busi-ness alliances that could ulti-

mately benefit all residents, saysFried.

Any time an elected officialcan relate empirical statisticaldata to residents it provides a fac-tual and historical rationale forwhy any type of change or projectmakes sense, and that the deci-sion was not indiscriminatelyreached on a whim, continuedFried.

Its 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 thenew 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 youveheard 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. Itmakes 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 toask them questions about the upcom-ing school year. So whats on yourmind? Send us your questions, andwell do our best to get answers.

come an art teacher.Kalczynski knew of Thomp-

sons enthusiasm for art, andasked if she would be willing tovolunteer her abilities to aid theproject.

He knew I liked to draw,Thompson said. I told him Id

like to help him.Thompson was put in charge oftransferring the designs to thewalls of the firehouse and shed no easy feat. She did the transferby hand, without using any com-plicated techniques.

I would just look at it and lookat the wall, and I tried to placewhere it would go, Thompsonsaid.

After Thompson was donedrawing the outlines, it was timefor the actual painting. Many

members of the communityhelped with this, Kalczynski said,including Boy Scouts, high schoolstudents in need of volunteerhours, and community membersnot affiliated with any particulargroup.

We had a wide variety of peo-ple come to help, Kalczynskisaid.

As it turned out, Kalczynskisaid, organizing and coordinating

all the groups involved, such as

the school district, the fire depart-ment, the public works depart-ment, the parks and recreationdepartment and the Boy Scouts,was the hardest part of the proj-ect.

In total, Kalczynski said, about150 hours were spent on the proj-ect by all those involved. Kalczyn-ski spent 71 hours planning andexecuting the project, and about125 hours were spent actuallypainting the murals.

Eleven-year-old and designer ofthe Tantum Park mural Tori DiS-tefano got to watch the gradualresults of all those hours of paint-ing, as her mural slowly appearedin Tantum Park. DiStefano playssoftball, she said, and every timeshe came to the park, the muralwould be closer to completion.

Every playoff game I had Idgo to see it and something newwould be added, DiStefano said.

For the Tantum Park mural,Kalczynski had asked for a sports

theme, so DiStefano began withbaseball as the central focus bydrawing baseball bats and base-balls, and added other sportsparaphernalia as they occurredto 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. Itdefinitely came out really well.

According to a 2011 College

Board report, as the nation pre-pares to meet President Obamasgoal of 8 million new collegegraduates by 2020, the transferprocess the pathway betweencommunity colleges and four-year institutions will take onan increasingly vital role.

Mercer County CommunityCollege (MCCC) is partneringwith multiple four-year institu-tions to help its graduates makethat transition, while saving

them significant dollars in theprocess.According to MCCCs Director

of Transfer Services LaureneJones, Families today are facedwith high costs at four-year col-leges, and more are turning tocommunity colleges as a way ofmaking college affordable. Na-tionwide there has been an in-crease in the number of commu-nity college students, coupledwith a decline in their averageage.

In addition to articulationagreements with numerous col-leges, MCCC holds Dual Admis-sions Agreements with others,and partners with three schoolsthrough The University Centerwhich offers bachelors degreeprograms right at the collegesWest Windsor Campus --WilliamPaterson University, FairleighDickinson University and Feli-cian College.

Additional articulation agree-

ments signed in recent monthshave added opportunities for stu-dents who wish to begin atMCCC, 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 thirdyear (junior) status if they have aminimum GPA of 3.5.

For Educationgraduates, The College of NewJersey (TCNJ) enables easy trans-fer into the Technology/Pre-Engi-

neering Education major. AtRowan University, Mercers Engi-neering Science graduates canmore easily enter a variety ofbachelors degree programs inthe Rowan School of Engineer-ing.

Two new agreements assistMercers Fire Science graduates,who can now transfer up to 70credits 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.
