    There are also plans to buildthree new parking areas to ac-commodate visitors to the newtrail.

    Detailed design plans are beingprepared, and it is anticipated theproject will be ready for construc-tion in 2014, Caliguire said.

    The design is almost complet-ed; we know where the trail isgoing to go, he said. Were try-

    ing to expedite the process if wecan. We would like to try to getthe loop open as soon as possible.The problem is that the permit-ting process for the state Depart-ment of Environmental Protec-tion takes some time; they dontanticipate that we would have

    permits done to open it in 2013,which is why were projecting2014.

    An existing parking areaacross Main Boulevard from Vil-lage Elementary School has al-ready been repaved and will haveaccess to the future trail.

    School administratorreceives Distinguished

    Service AwardBY HEATHER FIORE

    The Montgomery Sun

    Tom Venanzi, MontgomeryTownship School District busi-ness administrator and boardsecretary, was recently honoredwith a Distinguished ServiceAward from the New Jersey As-sociation of School Business Of-

    ficials for his long-term, continu-ous exemplary service.

    As part of his award, Venanziwas also given a $1,000 scholar-ship to award to a senior of hischoice from Montgomery HighSchool. He chose graduating sen-ior Lulu Chen.

    My biggest thrill is to be ableto award a scholarship to a stu-dent, Venanzi said. Lulu Chen

    is one of our best students thatwe have in MHS and is attendingPrinceton University in the fall.She worked with our board forthe last three years as our stu-dent representative.

    Venanzi has served as businessadministrator for the MTSDsince 2007. He held the same posi-tion at the Hillsborough School

    District from 1987 to 2007, and inthe Somerville School Districtfrom 1985 to 1986.

    This is his first time receivingthe award.

    This is a recognition from mycolleagues across the state, Ve-nanzi said. Just to be nominatedis an honor, but to actually getpicked by association representa-

    EDITOR EMERITUS Alan Bauer

    Its easy to forget that youth sports

    are about having fun, staying ac-

    tive and building character in

    kids. With all the emphasis society

    puts on winning whether it be on the

    sports field, in the classroom, at work

    or in social situations the goals of

    youth sports often get lost in the shuf-fle, hiding behind that key word:

    Win!

    Even more so in recent years, it

    seems, high school sports have some-

    how drifted away from the youth

    label and become a highly competitive

    training ground for future profession-

    al athletes. This emphasis on succeed-

    ing on the scoreboard is purely nega-

    tive when it is the only focus, when its

    a win-at-all-costs mentality, and

    when it crosses the line.

    A few weeks ago, The New Jersey

    Interscholastic Athletic Association

    the non-profit organization that over-

    sees 425 accredited public, private andparochial high schools in the state rep-

    resenting high school athletics

    passed new rules aimed at curbing

    trash talking that attacks others based

    on race, ethnicity and sexual orienta-

    tion. Its a new rule that piggybacks on

    the states recently-enacted anti-bully-

    ing law.

    Steve Goodell, an attorney for the

    NJSIAA, said: Trash talking, were

    not banning that. Were saying that

    race-baiting, attacking ones race or

    ethnicity, thats out of bounds.

    And Steven Timko, the executive di-

    rector of the NJSIAA, said: Obscene

    gestures, profanity or unduly provoca-

    tive language or action toward offi-

    cials, opponents or spectators wont be

    tolerated in the classroom or the field

    of play.

    Sounds simple and straightforward

    enough: Being unsportsmanlike wont

    be tolerated. But the announcement ofthe rules received some backlash from

    people asking when the policing, when

    the Big Brother mentality, will finally

    end. To that, we say, are you kid-

    ding?

    Its beyond us how anyone could

    argue that promoting sportsmanship,

    at any level youth, amateur or even

    professional would be a bad thing. If

    the NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, NCAA or

    MLS passed an official rule like this,

    the move would, and should, be ap-

    plauded, not criticized. So lets get

    real. Lets focus on whats important

    here building character in our kids.

    Take that trashtalking elsewhereBan on some youth sports trash talking is a good idea

    Your thoughts

    What do you think about the NJSIAAsnew rule, and about sportsmanship inyouth sports nowadays? Let your voicebe heard through a letter to the editor.

    letter to the editor

    Jr. National Young LeadershipConference teaches childrenWhat makes up a good leader? Who can

    become a leader? Where do leaders comefrom?

    These are all questions I explored be-tween June 23 and June 28 when I attendedthe Jr. National Young Leadership Confer-ence Alumni Boston.

    About 100 other scholars and futureleaders going into grades six to nine joined

    me in Boston for a week as we learned howto become better leaders by observingleadership actions of those from the past.

    The first site visit scholars went to wasPlimoth Plantation.

    First, we explored the Wampanoag vil-

    lage where Wampanoag descendants re-layed their view of the Pilgrims settlingon their land.

    Their ancestors viewed the treaty be-tween them and the Pilgrims as unfair be-cause the Pilgrims got more rights and ad-vantages even though the Wampanoag hadbeen there first.

    After visiting the Wampanoag village,we saw the other half of the story at thePilgrim village, where actors and actress-es told us of their thoughts of theWampanoag.

    They said they believed the natives to besavages and they thought the treaty wasmore than fair.

    I better appreciated the meaning of acompromise, which is useful when every-ones needs must be taken into account.

    On the second day, the scholars at theconference explored tolerance and the un-fortunate acts of intolerance that occurredduring the Salem Witch Trials.

    We attended a show at the Salem WitchMuseum that showed how harmless storytelling about witchcraft from a Barbadosslave named Tituba escalated to 19 inno-cent women and men being hung and oneman being pressed to death.

    The people of Salem were afraid of theunknown and therefore didnt tolerate thedifferences that the witches portrayed.

    I learned that tolerance is one of thebest qualities a leader can have, becauseleaders have to work and put up with peo-ple of all kinds of ideas, opinions and ar-

    Committee awaits approval fromthe DEP to discuss construction

    Commission has done a lot ofwork; it looks a lot better already,Caliguire said. Theyre moving alot of concrete and asphalt rightnow. Its a much bigger job thanwe anticipated, but theyve done agreat job.

    The buildings that were origi-nally located on the property have

    been demolished and the countyis currently removing all remain-ing debris. To date, more than 140loads of concrete have been re-moved from the property.

    An additional nine acres of as-phalt and concrete paving will beremoved when the loop trail isconstructed.

    We just want to get the parkopen, Caliguire said. The coun-

    ty is working diligently to design

    and construct the trail so that thepublic can access and enjoy theproperty as soon as possible.

    Caliguire said the committee iscurrently awaiting approval fromthe DEP to begin discussionsabout construction.

    Itll be at least a few monthsbefore we get DEP approval, hesaid. And we also have to go outto bid for a construction companyafter we get approval from theDEP.

    The ongoing cleanup and thecoordination of patrolling be-tween the Somerset County ParkRangers and the MontgomeryTownship Police will ensure theproperty will be safe and accessi-

    ble to the public.

    The committee will meet againin the fall, sometime in Septem-ber or October, to discuss theprogress of the cleanup and traildevelopment, as well as other pas-sive recreational and conserva-tion opportunities within thepark.

    "Progress with Skillman Parkhas been outstanding; it's reallystarting to take shape, Mont-gomery Mayor Ed Trzaska said.I have received many messages

    from excited residents about theupcoming loop trail and howmuch better the land is looking.Once completed, this is going tobe a true gem for Montgomeryand the entire county."

    letter to the editor

    guments, but they just have tolearn how to cope with it.

    On Wednesday, we walked theFreedom Trail through Bostonand visited historical sites suchas Paul Reveres house, the OldNorth Church and Copps HillBurying Ground. Afterward, wedeparted to Minuteman NationalPark.

    There, we discovered how theAmerican militia, made of ordi-nary, informally trainedcolonists, defeated the British atthe North Bridge in Concord.They outnumbered the Britishstationed at the bridge and sur-prised them, so the British re-treated after attempting to tearup the bridge.

    The minutemen were deter-mined and persevered, achievingtheir goal even though theBritish were better trained andlarger in number. I realized that

    you dont necessarily have tohave the most training or sup-port. Sometimes simply workinghard to achieve a goal can get youfar. During the Jr. NYLC AlumniBoston trip, I learned how to bet-ter use my leadership skills towork out problems.

    But that shouldnt end when Ireturn from the conference. Inthe words of John QuincyAdams, If your actions inspireothers to dream more, learnmore, do more and become more,you are a leader.

    Now that I am home, I hope Ican lead others by applyingknowledge from past leaders, andencourage them to do the same.
