    Every four years, there is a big,

    big election in New Jersey that

    costs candidates lots and lots of

    money. Gubernatorial candidates ad-

    vertise hard and heavy throughout the

    state, spending boatloads of cash in the

    New York City and Philadelphia metro

    markets.This years election for Garden State

    governor is extra special because the

    incumbent, Chris Christie, is thought

    to be a leading candidate for the Re-

    public nomination for president in

    2016.

    Before that is a possibility, though,

    he will have to beat his Democratic op-

    ponent in New Jersey this November.And, even before that, hell have to

    defeat his Republican opposition for

    the gubernatorial nomination, Seth

    Grossman, an Atlantic County lawyer

    and political veteran.

    While the focus of this election has

    already been on Christie and top Dem-ocratic candidate Barbara Buono, both

    must make it through next Tuesdays

    Primary Election before they can com-

    pletely turn their focus to Novembers

    General Election.

    Buono, a state senator from Newark

    who has been representing the 18th

    Legislative District since 2002, will

    square off against Troy Webster, an

    aide to the mayor of East Orange.

    If Buono and Christie succeed next

    week, as many expect, theyll officially

    turn their focus on each other, letting

    the money, and muckraking, fly.

    Both parties have already begun tel-

    evision ad campaigns, and the number

    of ads and ferocity of the content will

    surely pick up as Novembers election

    approaches.

    Its an unfortunate reality of cur-

    rent-day electioneering, especially in

    this state.So expect your TV sets, your radios

    and your newspapers to be filled with

    political advertisements over the next

    six months until an official governor is

    named.

    In the meantime, get out and vote in

    the Primary Election next Tuesday,

    June 4, if youre a registered Republi-

    can or Democrat.In addition to the gubernatorial elec-

    tion, there are also elections for the

    General Assembly, state Senate and

    local governing bodies. This is your

    first chance to let your voice be heard.

    Campaign season has begunWith Primary Elections next week, let the advertising begin

    Your thoughts

    Do you plan to vote in next TuesdaysPrimary Election? If so, why? If not,why? Send us your thoughts in a letterto the editor.

    Each year, we identify an offi-cer submitted by their peers, andits voted on by a committee,

    Posluszny said. The award is notfor one individual event, but forsomething thats done everyday showing up to work, caring, doingwhats right.

    Posluszny talked about a recentbook he just read, which was writ-ten by New York Giants headcoach Tom Coughlin, and chroni-cles coaching and what it takes towin. Posluszny focused on the

    foreword, which was written byMichael Strahan, a former defen-sive end for the Giants.

    He [Strahan] really thoughtabout stopping playing, but duringan off-season, he heard a songfrom Coldplay that talks about,am I contributing to the problemor am I the cure? And he thoughtabout that, and as it turned out, hebegan to see things in a differentway with Coach Coughlin,Posluszny said. They began an

    understanding that they werethere for the same purpose win-ning and here, were here for thesame purpose, and thats to protectand try to help people. And, thereare no truer words to describeDanny Gladney. Danny comes towork every day, does what hessupposed to do, and never seeksany attention. He just does it. AndI describe Danny as the cure.

    select a statement or idea that wewant to write about, write a poemand then read them to each other.Marcy and I have seen, over theyears, that the children have be-come wonderfully articulate andwonderful little writers.

    The poetry club consists ofthird graders. This year, there are11 students in the club who are allparticipating in the benefit.

    There will be three parts to theevent, Olessi said.

    The first part will feature morethan five of Olessis poetic works,which will be read by him and twoprofessional actors he hired toadd a more dramatic element. Thesecond part will feature a selec-tion of works by past and currentstudents of the poetry club.

    For the last part of the event,Olessi will debut his most recentdramatic work entitled Execu-tion, which chronicles the lasthours in the lives of Nicola Saccoand Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Ital-ian immigrants who were legallyput to death by Massachusetts in1927. It stars Robert Bartolino asSacco and Philip Rieschick asVanzetti. Both men have heldleading roles in Olessis films andplays, most notably Masada,Rumi, Judas and Socrates.

    The music of Olga Gorelli willalso be performed. Olessi wrote li-brettos for Gorelli, a world-fa-mous composer from Penningtonwho died in 2006.

    Its a proper evening, but allpoetry, Olessi said. At the end ofthe year, we [poetry club] alwaysdo a poetry event.

    Proceeds from the event will di-rectly benefit ECVs programsthat target at-risk children in Eg-gerts Crossing Village, a low- to

    moderate-income housing devel-opment in Lawrenceville.

    ECVs mission is to motivatethe young residents of LawrenceTownship to reach their highestpotential as educated and fulfilled

    adults; to strengthen families; tocombat racial, cultural and so-cioeconomic isolation; and tobuild a sense of community.

    The event will begin at 8 p.m. atthe Lawrence Community Center,which is located at 295 EggertsCrossing Road.
