District
receives
boost in
state aid
By MELISSA DIPENTO
The Montgomery Sun
The Montgomery Township
School District will receive a
sizeable boost in state aid this
year, according to the project-
ed state aid totals released by
the state Department of Edu-
cation last week.
Gov. Christie announced
school aid would increase $135
million over last years appro-
priations, totaling $7.8 billion
for schools statewide.
Christie said the appropria-
tions are the largest in state
education in the history of
New Jersey.
Since taking office, one of
my greatest priorities has
been working to ensure that
every child in the state re-
ceives a quality education that
will prepare them for the de-
mands of the 21st century,
Christie said. In addition to
increasing overall spending on
education to the highest levels
in state history, we can and
will go further to implement
common sense ways that will
make every education dollar
count.

creased by more than 19 per-

The Montgomery High School varsity cheerleading squad performs at the ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando in early February.
Two squads compete at nationals
By MELISSA DIPENTO
The Montgomery Sun
The Montgomery High School
cheerleading squad was happy to
send the varsity team to the Uni-
versal Cheerleaders Association
National High School Cheerlead-
ing competition last year at the
ESPN Wide World of Sports in
Orlando.
But this year, they outdid them-
selves, sending both the varsity
and junior varsity squads to com-
pete at the national event held on
Feb. 11 and 12.
And to top things off, the JV
squads performance in the semi-
final round boosted it to the top of
the pyramid, or at least to the
final round.
It was exciting to get to na-
tionals. And to move on to finals
was a reward for our hard work
during the year, said JV coach
Tiffany Riley.
The varsity group opened its
routine with a sky-high toss and
included intricate stunts along
the way.
The JV squad took flight with
the helicopter, a move where
girls twirl 180 degrees in the air.
The squad also took home a tro-
phy as one of the top 10 teams in
the nation from its division. To
get to nationals, the JV finished
first at a regional competition late
last year at Hofstra University.
I could not have asked for any-
thing more from this group of
girls, said varsity coach Eliza-

In addition to strong finishes at
nationals, the squads also
cheered at football, basketball
and wrestling matches through-
out the season.
Some members of the Mont-
gomery High School team were
honored for their cheerleading
success this season.
Emily Campeas and Jennifer
Cheslock were named to the New
Jersey Cheer Coaches and Dance
Associations All-State team and
were honored at a breakfast cere-
mony.
Freshman varsity member
Gabrielle Louis-Charles was

At the NCA summer camp,
Campeas, Cheslock, Elizabeth
Sohmer and Alayna Treene were
named Camp All-Americans,
which qualified them to compete
in London.
Throughout the year, many
members of the squad also gave
back to the community by partici-
pating in walks for autism, donat-
ing to a local food bank and rais-
ing more than $2,000 for the Stee-
plechase Cancer Center at Somer-
set Medical Center.
To cover the cost of traveling to
nationals, the team sold flowers,
worked at a pancake breakfast,
hosted a Zumba event, bagged
groceries at ShopRite and hosted
a cheerleading clinic.

Last year, the district received
$3,290,867. The district will re-
ceive $3,930,456 to include in the
2012-2013 budget.
The Montgomery Township
Board of Education made a budg-
et presentation on Feb. 21 and fi-
nalized the $ 80,807,270 budget at
its Feb. 28 meeting. The 2011-12
budget was finalized at $78,832,907
last year.
The total amount to raised by
local taxpayers is $65,391,607, with
$63,874,144 from Montgomery
Township and $1,517,463 from
Rocky Hill Borough.
For the average assessed home
in Montgomery, residents with a
$501,864 assessment can expect a
$208 increase. In Rocky Hill, resi-
dents with an average assessed
home at $406,630 may see a $303
increase.
At the Feb. 28 meeting, school
officials highlighted some of the
challenges faced in developing
the 2012-13 budget.
Some challenges discussed
were being able to meet the needs
of the districts students in chal-
lenging economic times, staying
within 2 percent cap increase on
the local tax levy, containing costs
and finding alternate sources of
revenue to offset reductions in
other areas.
District officials said the cur-
rent budget maintains the exist-
ing co-curricular and instruction-
al core programs. Other high-
lights included no additional out-
sourcing of services, no increases
in student activity and student
parking fees, and new personnel
as a result of reallocation of
funds from prior staffing reduc-
tions and restored funding for
professional development.
The budget also includes
spending for a few maintenance
projects across the district, in-
cluding an gym exterior door re-
placement at Orchard Hill Ele-
mentary, a camera upgrade at Vil-
lage Elementary, rug replace-
ments with tile at the Lower
Middle School and a hot water
heater replacement and security
camera upgrade at the high
school.

in our opinion
T
heres not a lot that Gov.
Christie does that doesnt pro-
voke a heated response from
someone, somewhere. Budget cuts, ed-
ucation reform, you name it, shortly
after the governor stops talking, some-
one tears into his proposal. And thats
not a bad thing. We mention it to point
out that the governor has a habit of
diving head-first into controversy
over and over again.
However, the governor is now back-
ing a constitutional amendment to re-
form the bail system in the state. Its a
move that he calls common sense.
We agree.
The measure would allow judges to
consider such things as the defen-
dants past dangerous behavior before
sending that person back out onto the
streets, often to cause more problems,
intimidate witnesses, etc.
This is a proposal that should re-
ceive widespread, bi-partisan support.
Its a move that is long overdue. Its a
move that will keep people safe and
help law enforcement put people be-
hind bars and keep them there.
The governor points to a number of
statistics from a 2007 study by the Bu-
reau of Justice Statistics to support
his measure: about one-third of re-
leased defendants were charged with
one or more types of pretrial miscon-
duct; nearly one-fourth had a bench
warrant issued for failing to appear;
and about one-sixth were arrested for
a new arrest with more than half of
these new arrests for felonies.
Indeed, at some point, someone is
going to object to depriving someone
who is not convicted of his or her con-
stitutional rights. And thats a reason-
able debate to hold.
But well side with the governor on
this one. Defendants who have a histo-
ry of violence, who are a threat to the
community, and who are likely to try
to intimidate witnesses against them
need to be locked up.
Its time to take a stand for public
safety. Passing this amendment would
do just that.
Yes to bail reform measure
Heres one Christie proposal that should be widely supported
Bail reform a smart move
Reform could give judges an opportu-
nity to keep dangerous people off the
streets unable to commit additional
crimes or to intimidate those testify-
ing against them.
Firing of police officers
is not the way to go
I would like to respond to a re-
cent letter from Walt Beadling
and John Kumpf.
Both of these residents are
part of the Montgomery Tea
Party. They share extreme views
such as cutting local govern-
ment services so much that we
cant fill pot holes, plow roads
during snow storms or even keep
the municipal building open on
some weekdays.
They also support firing a large
portion of our police department.
Montgomery would no longer
be a safe community if they had
their way.
So, it comes as no surprise that
their recent letter is beyond
ridiculous. As recent newspaper
articles have pointed out, the 3.5
percent CAP law has been around
since the 1970s. It only deals with
budget line-items and has no im-
pact on the overall cost of the
budget. I dont know why they are
so fixated on it.
I strongly advise the residents
of Montgomery to ignore them
and their Tea Party colleagues.
As a registered Democrat, I obvi-
ously disagree with them. Thank-
fully, I am very happy to see that
the Republicans on the township
committee also disagree with
them. They are making independ-
ent-minded decisions and not
being influenced by these danger-
ous squeaky wheels.
To our current elected officials:
keep up the good work. Keep the
best interest of Montgomery in
mind and the town will continue
to support you, even Democrats
like me.

Raising funds for smiles
Dr. Mary V. DeCicco, DDS and
Robert M. Church, exalted ruler
of the Princeton Elks Lodge an-
nounce a partnership with The
Smiles for Life Foundation and
Garth Brooks Teammates for
Kids Foundation.
This partnership is a great op-
portunity for us to make a differ-
ence in our community, . DeCic-
co said.
Beginning now and continuing
through June, DeCicco, a member
of the Crown Council, a cutting-
edge group of highly trained den-
tists, is participating in the
Smiles for Life campaign, which
will offer professional teeth
whitening services at a consider-
ably reduced price.
Since 1998, the foundation has
raised more than $25 million, ben-
efiting hundreds of childrens
charities across North America
and the world.
DeCicco plans to donate 100
percent of the cost to Smiles for
Life to help children facing seri-
ous health conditions and educa-
tional deficiencies.
This year, 50 percent of the
Smiles for Life proceeds will go to
The Princeton Elks Charitable
Trust, an organization that pro-
vides special camperships at Elks
Camp Moore, a camp that special-
izes in providing one-to-one care
for local children with disabili-
ties, with the remaining 50 per-
cent being donated to Garth
Brooks Teammates For Kids
Foundation, an organization
whose purpose is to contribute fi-
nancial resources to select organ-
izations that effectively serve and
benefit children.
The Princeton Elks Charita-
ble Trust and the Garth Brooks
Foundation are two great organi-
zations that give their all for chil-
dren with special needs and the
Elks are proud that Dr. DeCicco
has offered us this great opportu-
nity, Church said.
Why teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is the most re-
quested dental procedure in
North America.
According to the American
Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry,
consumer demand for profession-
al whitening has increased more
than 300 percent since 1996.
For more information or to
make an appointment for your
100 percent tax-deductible
whitening, contact DeCicco at

With the Montgomery High
School weight room getting a
heavy daily workout, it was ap-
parent the facility was in need of
a boost.
Thats when Jim Griffin, a
teacher and strength and condi-
tioning coach for MHS, turned to
the Parent Teacher Student
Association (PTSA) for help in
the form of a teacher grant re-
quest.
The PTSA offers teacher and
student grants for worthy proj-
ects, which enhance the MHS
community. The executive board
unanimously agreed to provide
the funds to fortify the weight
rooms training equipment.
Griffin said the weight lifting
program has grown rapidly with
60 to 100 athletes using the train-
ing equipment after school in ad-
dition to daily gym class use of
more than 600 students.
The PTSA is happy to support
this grant which will reach so
many of our students and
thanks Mr. Griffin for expanding
this programs opportunities for
students through this teacher
grant request, said Maria Kauz-
mann, co-president of the PTSA.
Added Anne Rodgers, co-presi-
dent: We felt this was a very
valid request for something that
serves the entire school.
Griffin said the department is
in the process of ordering new
dumbbells and hex bars to in-
crease the number of students
who can properly train in the
weight room.
Our hope is to develop a facili-
ty that allows our students to
complete a quality training pro-
gram in a manageable time so
that they can fulfill both their ac-
ademic and athletic commit-
ments. By increasing the number
of dumbbells and hex bars, we
will be taking another step closer
to achieving that goal, Griffin
said.
The PTSA provided other
teacher grants this year, includ-
ing funds to purchase art supplies
for art Fridays hosted by the MHS
National Art Honor Society
under the direction of Deirdre
McGrail; the purchase of elec-
tronic keyboards for Bob Violette
and his music theory class;
money for a DVD curriculum on
teen drinking requested by coun-
selor Nell Geiger and kitchen-
ware for Audrey Rosenthals life
skills class.
Student grants are also given
including one to Kristyn Klinck,
earlier in the school year, to pur-
chase flags for a 9/11 Memorial.

Parent, teacher group helps fund weight room
Thomas Sweet Caf and select
students of Montgomery High
School held a musical benefit on
Saturday, Feb. 25, to support
Stand Up To Cancer, the national
non-profit organization that
funds cancer research.
Sam Capolongo and Mari Sk-
oultchi, two juniors at Mont-
gomery High School, organized
and executed multiple perform-
ances that evening.
The evening raised just shy of
$1,000, with donations still com-
ing in.
Thomas Sweet Caf donated 10
percent of the evenings proceeds
to the Stand Up To Cancer cause.
The students sold wristbands that
read Thomas Sweet Caf, Coffee-
house For Cancer for $4.
The wristbands are still avail-
able for purchase.
Students also walked around
and collected donations while
musicians performed.
Instead of its weekly one-band
show on Saturday nights, the caf
hosted five different groups of
performers, all students at Mont-
gomery High School. The show
brought in more than 100 specta-
tors.
The roster included students
John Ahluwalia, Spenser
Bautista, Matt Oh, Mari Sk-
oultchi, Kerryann McKenna, Sam
Capolongo and Sarah Moebius
with acoustic cover versions by
pop stars such as Lady Gaga,
Katy Perry and Taylor Swift,
along with classics by Elvis Pres-
ley and Bruce Springsteen.
One Montgomery High School
senior Andrew Hennessey
built a Thomas Sweet Caf
Plinko-style game, in which play-
ers dropped a coin at the top,
watch it clink through the puzzle
behind the plexiglass, and hope it
lands in an ice cream cone at the
bottom. All coins collected from
this and other games were also
donated to Stand Up To Cancer.
Thomas Sweet Caf, which fre-
quently gives back to the commu-
nity and donates to charities on
both the local and national level,
plans to make the Stand Up To
Cancer benefit an annual event.
It was a really fun night, and I
saw a lot of friends from school
there, senior Kerisa Naicker
said.
The caf features live music
every Saturday evening from 7 to
10 p.m., with local musicians and
a monthly art exhibit featuring
local artists with works available
for purchase.
For more information on the
event, contact Ashley, thomass-
weetcafe@gmail.com, or call the
caf at (609) 454-5280.
