    Special to The Sun

    Every year, the Lawrence Township Police Department honors police officers and citizens for their outstanding service to the commu-nity. At the township council meeting on Tuesday, May 21, nine police officers and nine citizens were honored for their heroic acts ofbravery. One of the citizens honored, Donna Cavalieri, second left, watched as a thief drove up and robbed her neighbor, Angela Oakley,second right, and was ultimately able to lead the police to the suspect. Cavalieri and Oakley are shown with Chief Dan Posluszny, left,and Mayor Jim Kownacki, right.

    Do you want to learn moreabout sustainable practices andwhat you can do to help makeyour town a more environmental-ly sound place to live?

    If so, mark your calendars forthe next two months. SustainableLawrence and the LawrenceTownship Environmental Re-sources and Green Team haveteamed up to host a series ofworkshops to help you learn moreabout sustainability.

    This workshop series willteach residents about living sus-tainably, while also offering thechance to interact with neighborsand other local residents, saidPam Mount, founder of Sustain-

    able Lawrence and chair of Sus-tainable Jersey.

    We really felt, in order to getpeople enough information sothey can change their behaviorand do something different, youneed a little bit more exposurethan just two hours of discussion,so we tried to move this intosomething where people can

    share experiences, stay connectedand go through the process to-gether, she said. The driving

    force [behind the series] is how tomove from just getting informa-tion and education to people actu-ally feeling comfortable enoughto change their behaviors and be-come more sustainable.

    The first series of workshopsbegan in mid-May at Terhune Or-

    chards, offering participants in-sight about food and gardening,focusing on simple, healthy cook-ing and eating.

    We talked about the generalscope of how to grow your ownfood, what to grow, how to keepyour own garden and how to stay

    healthy, Mount said.The second series of work-

    shops in June entitled, GarbageIn, Garbage Out, will focus onwaste and recycling. These meet-ings will be held at the LawrenceNature Center, located at 481Drexel Ave. in Lawrenceville.

    Were going to talk about in-novative ways of recycling, suchas how to recycle clothes, how toget rid of batteries, how to shredyour paper, how to make recycledart, how to not consume and howto close the loop (send somethingback after youre done using it),Mount said.

    The first workshop, slated forSaturday, June 8, will kick off theseries.

    Whats unique to this series isthe second workshop, scheduledfor Sunday, June 16, where partic-ipants will take a trip to a majorlandfill and sewer treatment

    plant at Atlantic County UtilitiesAuthority.

    I think that trip will be veryinteresting, Mount said. Its ahuge recycling depot, where theydo everything from compostleaves and twigs to make electrici-ty out of methane.

    The third series of workshops,which will be held in July at theLawrence Library, will focus onenergy, where it comes from, howto conserve it, how to lower ener-gy bills and financial incentivesoffered by the state. During thisseries, participants will also havethe opportunity to visit TheLawrenceville School to learnmore about the uses of solar pan-els.

    The meetings will be held onJuly 13, July 20 and July 27.

    The most important part [ofthe series] is people getting toknow each other, sharing ideasand feeling a sense of empower-ment that they might actually be

    able to do something about the cli-mate, Mount said. Hopefully,people will spread the word andmore people will take action anditll become a grassroots effort tospread the word that everybodyneeds to take a little bit of respon-sibility to become more sustain-able.

    All of the meetings, with theexception of the Atlantic City tripin June, will be held on Saturdaysfrom 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Each sessioncosts $10 per person, or $25 for all

    three sessions.For more information or to

    The unofficial start of summer

    has come and gone. With Me-

    morial Day weekend in the

    rearview mirror, the focus now is on

    brighter days ahead the beach, the

    sun, vacations and relaxation. Presi-

    dent Obama and Gov. Christie got in

    the spirit last week when they touredthe Jersey Shore to assess the recovery

    from Hurricane Sandy.

    Even the weather is playing along,

    with temperatures in the 90s last week,

    and heat advisories being issued

    throughout the region.

    New Jersey coastal towns are hoping

    and praying that the storm or other

    outside forces does not affect thesummer season. And all New Jersey

    residents should hope for the same, as

    the summer Shore business is a huge

    part of the states economy a $19 bil-

    lion industry, or half of the states total

    tourism revenue, according to esti-

    mates.

    The state is planning to spend $25

    million in federal recovery money on

    an advertising campaign to attract vis-

    itors to the Shore. A campaign,

    Stronger Than the Storm, with theTwitter hashtag #STTS, promotes the

    states coast in part by providing guide-

    lines and tools for people looking to

    plan a New Jersey beach vacation.

    A recent AAA survey says that the

    Shore will be just fine, as almost 80 per-

    cent of people from New Jersey and

    the Philadelphia region say that Hurri-

    cane Sandy has not affected their sum-

    mer travel plans to the Shore.

    The proof will be in the pudding,though, once turnout can be assessed.

    So, as we said in this space a few

    weeks ago, make sure you travel local

    this summer and visit the states won-

    derful beaches. Theyre cheap, theyre

    close, and theyre a lot of fun.

    And while youre doing it, dont for-

    get about us, either. Send us your vaca-

    tion photos, and well let all yourneighbors know just how much fun

    youre having.

    In the meantime, enjoy the sun!

    Sun-splashed summer success?Heres to hoping all goes well at the Jersey Shore

    Dont forget about us!

    While youre vacationing this summer,dont forget about The Sun. Send usyour family or friend vacation photos,and well show everyone in town.

    BY HEATHER FIOREThe Lawrence Sun

    Anderson Monken,Lawrenceville resident and soph-omore at Mercer County Commu-nity College, was recognized bythe New Jersey Council of Com-munity Colleges as one of thestates top 40 community collegestudents.

    Monken was honored at theNJCCCs 19th annual Phi ThetaKappa Day celebration on May 2at the Trenton Marriott.

    Each year, the NJCCC hoststhis event to recognize the best 40

    communitycollege stu-dents as mem-bers of theNew JerseyAll-State Aca-demic Team,who are select-ed based ontheir GPA,outstandingcommunityservice, leadership abilities andrecommendations from instruc-tors.

    For everybody, theres a rea-son why they attended a commu-

    nity college, Monken said.While some may call communitycollege a detour, I call it a directroute to success. For each stu-dent, community college can be away out, a way in and a path tothe future. It really is that centralhub of learning and inspirationthat anyone can access and gainfrom.

    Monken also received a $2,000New Century Scholarship fromthe Coca-Cola Foundation forbeing the states top communitycollege student.

    This was Monkens first time

    Monken attended conferencefor being named top student

    applying to the program, whichwas strongly encouraged by Jin-grong Huang, his physics profes-sor.

    I had great support from her,Monken said. Since I had a 4.0GPA and was the Student Govern-ment Associations president, shethought Id be perfect for thatscholarship, so I threw my hat inthe ring.

    Because Monken was namedthe top community college stu-dent, he was invited to attend thePhi Theta Kappa Convention inSan Jose, Calif., and the Ameri-can Association of CommunityColleges Annual Convention inSan Francisco during April.

    It was a very exciting month;with classes on top of it, everysecond of my days was con-sumed, Monken said. The expe-rience was amazing. It was somuch fun to interact with andmeet students from across thecountry. The trips were definitelya once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    Monken, who was home-schooled until he entered MCCC,was a liberal arts major concen-trating in political and legal sys-tems at MCCC and accreditsmuch of his success to the two-year college.

    MCCC was the first formal-ized learning that I wentthrough, he said. Since a youngage, I learned how to take controlof my own education and learnedwhat I wanted to explore. When Iwent to MCCC, I had a chance tohone my skills in learning and

    was able to go more in depth insubjects I was interested in,which is ultimately why I decidedto go to MCCC.

    Monken has received a fullscholarship to attend VanderbiltUniversity in the fall, one ofthe top 20 universities in thecountry.

    Im a third generation Vander-bilt student; my mom and grand-father graduated from there, so Iget to sort of carry on the legacythat my previous two generationsdid, he said. Being able to go toa top 20 school, all of that successhas to be attributed to communitycollege because of all of the edu-cational, leadership and extracurricular opportunities present-ed to me. MCCC had challengingcourses that stimulated my learn-ing and made sure I was pre-pared.
