    consuming alcohol in any privatevehicles while parked in any pub-lic or quasi-public place.

    Although the ordinance for-bids drinking in public places, itdoesnt affect any religious ritu-als, possession of alcoholic bever-

    ages by underage people in thepreparation of food while en-rolled in a culinary arts or hotelmanagement program at a coun-ty vocational school or post-sec-ondary educational institution,or the possession or consumptionof alcoholic beverages by under-age people in the presence of andwith the permission of a parent,

    said Richard Krawczun, townshipmanager.

    Anyone who violates the ordi-nance will be subject to penalties,at the discretion of the munici-pality, on a case-by-case basis,Krawczun said.

    For the first violation, theres amaximum fine of $2,000 and/or aperiod of community service notto exceed 30 days. For subsequentoffenses within one year of theinitial violation, there will be amaximum fine of $2,000 and/or a

    period of community service notto exceed 60 days.

    Councilman Mike Powers, anattorney, said this is an effectivetool for the disposition of cases.

    Its broad in scope, and its in-tended that way so the prosecutorcan exercise discretion, he said.I think its another effective toolfor the prosecutor to use.

    The Lawrence Sun

    Ben Franklin Elementary willbe hosting its 4th Annual FallFest on Saturday, Oct. 12 from 8a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring morethan 100 vendors and activitiesfor the entire family.

    The Fest is held on schoolgrounds and is BFs annualfundraiser, said Amy Davis, chairof the Fall Fest and vice presidentof the BF PTO.

    Davis, who has been involvedwith the event since its inception,said the Fest came from an idea tohost a large, community yardsale.

    Four years ago, the BF PTOwanted to create a signatureevent of its own that could be-come an annual fundraiser forthe school and one that would in-volve and be open to the entireLawrence community, she said.The PTO recognized its locationon busy Princeton Pike was an

    ideal spot to attract a large crowd,and the school's circular busdriveway on the front lawn pro-vided the perfect space to line

    both sides with vendors one sidewith professional vendors and theother with yard sale merchants.The idea was to create a uniqueoutdoor shopping experiencewhere there was something foreveryone.

    The PTO also wanted to pro-vide children with some activitieswhile their parents shopped, so itcreated a carnival-like theme andfeel, incorporating games, aBouncy House, face painting andmuch more.

    This year, the PTO has severalnew activities for children to en-gage in, such as pumpkin paint-ing, carnival games and the first-ever Fun Run.

    At Ben Franklin Elementary,we look for opportunities to pro-mote staying active and beinghealthy, said Karen Faiman,chair of the Fun Run. As a re-sult, the PTO has been discussingpairing a fundraiser with an ath-letic event for some time. Itseemed to be best paired with an

    already successful event, our FallFest.

    In addition to raising funds forthe school, the Fun Run will pro-

    mote health and wellnessthroughout the entire communi-ty, Faiman said.

    Fall is officially here, and that

    can mean only one thing. No,

    not football. Or pumpkin spice

    lattes. Or back to school. Or Hal-

    loween. Or Thanksgiving.

    Its election season!

    OK, so maybe youre not as excited

    as we are, but you should be. You cantvote on the next president of the Unit-

    ed States this fall that wont come for

    another three years but the 2013 elec-

    tion will probably have a greater im-

    pact on your day-to-day life than that

    anyway.

    Thats because New Jerseys guber-

    natorial race will highlight the Nov. 5

    General Election, with incumbent Re-

    publican Chris Christie taking on

    state Senate Democrat Barbara

    Buono.

    Didnt realize this was happening?

    Then you probably havent watched

    any television, listened to any radio,

    read any newspapers or surfed the

    web at all over the last few months.

    That barrage of political advertising

    is only going to increase as we creepcloser and closer to election day.

    The governor in New Jersey has a

    much bigger impact on your day-to-

    day life than the president of our na-

    tion. His or her administrations deci-

    sions affect you more immediately,

    from the taxes you pay, to the cost of

    your insurance, to the availability of

    jobs, to how fast youre allowed to

    drive on the highway, and so on.

    Sure, the president gets more public-

    ity for his actions, but what his admin-

    istration does has more of a longer-

    lasting impact on your life.

    The point here is that, despite its

    less attractive appeal although this

    Christie vs. Buono race certainly is at-

    tractive as a New Jersey resident,

    you should be just as interested in this

    election, and just as willing to vote, as

    you are for the next president.

    So go to the polls on Nov. 5 to cast

    your vote.

    In addition to the governors race,

    you will have the chance, in many

    towns and boroughs, to vote for schoolboard candidates and council/commit-

    tee/mayoral candidates. When the

    dust has settled, this could end up

    being one of the more impactful elec-

    tions on your daily life in recent mem-

    ory.

    Dont be lazy. Dont feel like Nov. 5,

    2013, isnt as special as Nov. 6, 2012,

    was or as special as Nov. 8, 2016, will

    be. Thats simply not true for New Jer-

    seyans. And if youre really in the vot-

    ing spirit now, dont forget you can

    vote on Oct. 16 in a special election for

    a U.S. Senate seat between Democrat

    Cory Booker and Republican Steve

    Lonegan.

    This is going to be fun. Are you

    ready to participate?

    in our opinion

    Get up off your couch and voteThis election is more impactful for N.J. residents than presidential race

    Your thoughts

    Do you plan on voting in the Nov. 5General Election? Why or why not? Doyou think it holds the same importanceas a presidential election? Let yourvoice be heard through a letter to theeditor.

    HomeFront thanks communityfor back-to-school support

    Every day, I am impressed by the caringand generosity of our community. For thepast two months, I have seen that caringcome to life through our annual Back toSchool Drive.

    Sponsors, corporate supporters and vol-

    unteers truly understood the importanceof boosting a childs self-confidence. Thisyear, 1,341 homeless or very low-incomechildren went back to school with theirheads held high. With brand new uni-forms, a backpack filled with school sup-

    plies and new shoes, our children can enterthe school year with a spirit of determina-tion to focus on their academics and reachnew heights.

    Not only did the supporters of our Backto School drive provide clothing, back-packs and school supplies, they supportedour Childrens Fund. With these contribu-tions, we can provide our client familieswith the money needed to purchase the

    small things that mean so much to theirchildren, such as school pictures, classtrips and even athletic shoes.

    HomeFront knows how critical educa-tion is to future independence and sustain-ability. We do our very best to encourage

    and support academic success for ouradult clients and their children. During theschool year, we provide tutoring fournights a week and the educational compo-nent of our summer camps creates astrong foundation for learning. If a childhas a learning disability, we work to have itcorrected. Volunteers from the communityalso play a vital role by working one-on-onewith our children.

    Your contribution is meaningful and ex-ceeds its value during these difficult eco-nomic times. I only wish you could havewitnessed our children picking up their

    Four vie for two council seats in Lawrence TownshipIn Lawrence Township, four

    candidates are running for twofour-year terms on council in theTuesday, Nov. 5 election.

    Candidates include Democraticincumbents Mayor James Kow-nacki and councilman StephenBrame, and Republican chal-lengers Glenn Collins and MaxRamos.

    Following are profiles on eachcandidate. Check back in withThe Sun over the next month forour Meet the Candidates series,featuring more detailed informa-tion about each candidate.

    Stephen Carl BrameAge: 64Occupation: Attorney at lawVolunteer Work: Past presi-

    dent of the Lawrence TownshipZoning Board of Adjustment;member of Capital Area Chapterof Building One New Jersey;member of the New Jersey Chap-ter of Building One America;member of the Board of Trustees

    of Every ChildValued, Inc.;and memberof the Eggerts

    Crossing CivicLeague.

    Why areyou running?

    Over thecourse of mycareer, I havedeveloped ex-perience in economic develop-ment, planning, housing, man-agement and leadership. I haveworked with fellow citizens,neighborhoods and business to

    help build better communities. Ithink that this kind of experiencewould be helpful to LawrenceTownship.

    If elected, what is your toppriority?

    To work with my colleagues tofoster economic growth whileprotecting residential zoning; re-main committed to public safetyby fully funding our police, fire

    and ambulance services; and con-tinuing to provide public recre-ation for our youth and seniors.

    Why are you running?Since 1996, Lawrence Town-

    ship Council has been under thecontrol of one party, and for thepast two years, they've held unan-imous control. For 17 years, thiscouncil has failed, again and

    again, to pru-dently man-age our fi-nances, and

    the path we'reon is simplyunsustainable.This Councilfailed to ordera revaluationuntil it wasmandated byMercer County, and even then, itwas delayed one extra year so thatit would affect the 2014 tax year, anon-election year. This Councilalso created a new garbage tax,

    and then, when faced with back-lash, they delayed the implemen-tation until 2014, again, a non-election year. The time for play-ing games with taxpayer moneyis over. Real leadership is aboutlistening to the people, applyingthe right analysis, making toughdecisions and being honest withthe people you represent. I amrunning because I believe in and

    aspire to those attributes.If elected, what is your top

    priority?If I am elected, my top priority

    will be to apply scrutiny to theway this town is governed and toapply checks and balances toeverything we do. From my expe-rience on the Planning Board andthe Recreation Committee, andmy vast community reach, I haveseen and heard firsthand frombusiness owners and communityleaders what is sorely needed.Business owners want to come toLawrence when the town em-braces them, not when they are

    forced to jump through hoops andred tape. Sunshine is the best dis-infectant and until we welcomeentrepreneurs, expanding firmsand risk takers who want to setup shop, join the tax base andbring jobs to Lawrence, we'll con-tinue to suffer in a flailing econo-my.

    Why areyou running?

    For the pastfour years, Ihave had the honor of serving onCouncil and have provided avoice for the working-class citi-zens. I would like to continuebeing this blue-collar voice thatreflects and represents the hard-working people that I serve.

    If elected, what is your toppriority?

    Redevelopment; now that the

    Great Recession has ended, Iwant to continue to increase rate-ables through economic redevel-opment effects. In regard to pub-lic safety, continuing to find cre-

    ative ways, such as police dis-patch, to put more cops on thestreet and keep people safe.

    the Growth & RedevelopmentCommittee, coach of recreationbasketball and soccer inLawrence, volunteer on Ad Hoc

    Budget Committee (2012)Why are you running?I am run-

    ning for TownCouncil be-cause myneighbors andI are beingtaxed to deathby the currentone-partyCouncil thatsfailed to ad-dress spend-

    ing in anymeaningful way. In addition, theyare completely out of touch with

    the struggles that working fami-lies and seniors face every daywith escalating taxes and newfees. When I heard Council mem-bers saying things like, "We don't

    have a spending problem, we havea revenue problem" and "It's nottrue that we tried to raise taxes 17percent last year, and I don't wantit said anymore," I could no longerafford to sit on the sidelines. Peo-ple are tired of being treated likeopen checkbooks, and they arelooking for new leadership.

    If elected, what is your toppriority?

    If elected, my top priority willbe to introduce immediate ways

    to cut spending so that the town-ship doesn't balance its budget onthe backs of the taxpayers anddoesn't need to threaten to re-move services or create gim-micky fees. The incumbent Coun-cil is responsible for a 31 percentincrease in municipal taxes infour years, double the rate ofgrowth over the prior four years,and in 2012, Lawrence was one ofonly two towns in New Jersey outof 566 that could not balance itsbudget without going to a special

    referendum to exceed the 2 per-cent cap. There's no hiding fromthose results.
