Two chosen for student leadership programBy HEATHER FIORE

The Montgomery Sun

Two Belle Mead residents andseniors at Dickinson College,Emily Eckhardt and TaylorWilmot, were recently chosen toparticipate in the Baird FellowsProgram, which recognizes stu-dent leaders who have helped pro-mote sustainability on campus.

The Center for SustainabilityEducation launched the BairdFellows Program this year,named after the notable alumnusSpencer Fullerton Baird, class of1840, who introduced field studiesto American education andhelped found the Smithsonian In-stitute.

The program is an opportuni-ty for seniors who have been veryinvolved and focused on sustain-able themes and initiativesthroughout their college educa-tion to bring together their expe-riences in a capstone experiencethat the fellowship provides,Wilmot said.

Eckhardt and Wilmot, only two

of seven seniors at Dickinson Col-lege chosen to receive this dis-tinct honor, will participate in theBaird Honors Colloquium con-sisting of a series of interactivediscussions, debates and lecturesthat focus on the spring ClarkeForum series, Living in a Worldof Limits.

This is Bairds [Fellows Pro-gram] first year, so a lot of theprogram is being worked out as

the semester goes along with con-tributions from the students andfaculty, Eckhardt said. It is ahalf-credit honors colloquiumtaught by four professors and fac-ulty members. The colloquium isunique in that it includes work-shops from other college adminis-trators and also visits from some

really amazing activists and con-tributors in the field.

The Living in a World of Lim-its series will explore some ofthe most critical challenges of the21st century, including improvingthe human condition, equality,sustainability and protecting thenatural environment, from multi-

ple perspectives with a goal of in-forming the continued infusion ofsustainability across the Dickin-son curriculum, according to thecolleges website.

It will feature guest speakerssuch as Bill McKibben, promi-nent author and environmental-ist, who will speak about his work

related to institutional-endow-ment divestment from fossil-fuelcompanies; and David Orr ofOberlin College, who will discussThe Oberlin Project, a college andregional economic developmentinitiative.

I am eager to meet all of thespeakers, Eckhardt said.Michael Shellenberger was ourfirst visitor, and it was immedi-ately a highly interactive and con-

troversial discussion. I am eagerto hear about the work that Peterand Ruth Bechtel have done inMozambique because I'm increas-ingly interested in the field of in-ternational development. And ofcourse, I think Bill McKibben willbe the highlight for all of us, whohas been one of the leading cli-mate change activists.

By HEATHER FIOREThe Montgomery Sun

Dr. Christine Abrahams, vicepresident of the MontgomeryTownship School Districts Boardof Education, unexpectedly re-signed from the board on Feb. 12.

Abrahams, who works as a full-time administrator in theHopewell Valley Regional SchoolDistrict, said she could no longermake the obligatory time commit-ments because of her job.

Because Abrahams scheduleconflicted with the times of theboard meetings, which are held

during the daytime and as earlyas 8 a.m., she said that it wasnearly impossible for her to con-tinue on in her position.

She works during the daywhen most of the committeemeetings are held and she felt itwas a challenge for her to carveany time out during the day, Su-perintendent of MTSD NancyGartenberg said. Her job justdoesnt allow it.

Gartenberg explained howAbrahams urged the board toconsider other options, such asmeeting another time or on theweekends, to accommodate a va-riety of people like herself whodont have the flexibility thatmost of the other board membersdo, a wish that was never fulfilled.

Arun Rimal, president ofMTSDs BOE and a good friend ofAbrahams, explained how Abra-hams ultimately resigned be-

cause she wanted to be able tospend more time contributing tothe board than she was able to.

She just wasnt able to comeand give enough time, he said.To me, I lost a good friend be-cause we ran together a couple ofyears ago and Ive really gotten toknow her well. She brought a lotof knowledge and expertise [tothe board] because shes an edu-cator in Hopewell and that wassomething we were benefittingfrom, so I feel a huge loss.

Rimal is trying to find the bestcandidate to replace Abrahams,and explained how the board

needs to fill the vacancy within 65days of Abrahams resignation(by April 18).

The seat is open to any and all

eligible residents. Interested can-didates should submit a resumeand a letter of interest statingtheir qualifications by March 18,which is the application deadline.

Selected, qualified candidateswill then be interviewed by theBOE by April 2.

The selected individual willserve on the board until the nextschool board election in Novem-ber, where the one-year unex-pired term will appear on the bal-

lot. If the individual wishes to re-tain the seat until November 2014,he or she will have to run again.

The MTSD BOE is currentlyaccepting applications, which areto be mailed to MTSD BOEs Busi-ness Administrator and BoardSecretary Thomas Venanzi, at1014 Route 601 in Skillman.

Like Eckhardt, Wilmot is alsoparticularly interested in hearingfrom speakers Ruth and PeterBechtel.

I am very interested in the po-tential successes of conservationinitiatives, which directly incor-porate and work with local com-munities, she said. I think amistake that is made in past andcurrent conservation methods isthe exclusion of people in our def-

inition and perspectives of whatnature is. Oftentimes, local popu-lations can have vital knowledgeof land, and must be included inthe conservation process if these

areas are to be sustained and sup-ported by local communities. I be-lieve Peter and Ruth's initiativesare working to incorporate andwork directly with local commu-nities in order to benefit localhuman populations alongsidenatural environments in Africa.

Eckhardt and Wilmot havebeen given the opportunity towork closely with the guestspeakers, sharing ideas abouthow to create a more sustainableworld.

I am most excited to learnabout how the environmentalmovement overlaps and works

along with other social move-ments, Eckhardt said. I haven'tengaged so much in direct envi-ronmental activism because Ihave committed more energy

studying and getting involvedwith anti-sexism, racism andpoverty work. However, I think allof these missions are related atheart and benefit from coali-tions.

I hope to have the opportunityto think critically about the past,present and future of sustainableinitiatives all over the world inorder to work with and implementprojects that believe in the impor-tance of sustaining human liveli-hoods, which coincide with natu-ral environments, Wilmot said.

Wilmot, who has always beeninterested in environmental sus-

tainability, also detailed the per-sonal benefits of this programand how Dickinson College hashelped further her knowledge onsustainability.

By pursuing this interest atDickinson College, I was able tobroaden my perception of sus-tainability to include much morethan just nature, she said. NowI see how the need to connect andconsider social, economic and en-vironmental sustainability is keyto the future of our world. Study-ing abroad in India last year hasgreatly altered and inspired myvision and goals of sustainability.I consider that opportunity adefining moment in my educa-tion, and I will incorporate manylessons I learned in India to myfuture endeavors.

Since the series began on Jan.29, Wilmot and Eckhardt ex-plained how much fun it has beenexchanging ideas and reflectionswith other students and profes-

sors, since the lectures are opento the entire campus.

And, although the studentswere chosen to participate in thefellowship, Eckhardt detailedhow there are also some obliga-tions that go along with it.

Within the semester, the sevenstudents are responsible for con-tributing to the Baird blog andwriting a grant proposal, as wellas a few other writing activities,she said.

Eckhardt detailed how she'swriting a grant proposal for a so-cial justice mentorship programbetween Dickinson students and

students of a local alternativeschool for girls with emotionalproblems.

Since Januarys reorganization meeting,the township committee has been extreme-ly busy working on numerous tasks. Hereis an update on three of the most impor-tant initiatives the 2013 municipal budg-et, the 2013 sewer fee rates and the policerecruitment process.

In regard to the 2013 municipal budget,revenue numbers from 2012 have just beenfinalized, and work on this years budget iswell underway. As always, we are focusingon doing more with less and adhering tothe spirit of Gov. Christies 2-percent prop-erty tax cap law. We will do this while pro-tecting public health and safety services,improving our roads and infrastructure,and preserving more open space.

Our budget working groups continue tofind efficiencies, which help improveMontgomerys long-term financial sustain-ability. For example, last year we approved

a debt-refinancing plan that saved localtaxpayers $600,000 and eliminated two bal-loon debt payments.

This year, we will analyze new opportu-nities to share services with neighboringtowns (including selling our services to

small towns), possi-ble internal head-count consolida-tion, and ways tomake our currentemployees moreproductive (via

new training andequipment).On another note,

sewer fee rates willbe unchanged for2013. This is thefirst time in fiveyears that ratesare not going to in-crease. We arepleased to havestopped this trend and proud of the recentwork by our officials, elected and profes-sional, regarding our sewer system.

Throughout 2012, we looked for ways toreduce costs and streamline our operation.We also attracted several new sewer usersand settled a long-standing dispute withRocky Hill for overdue usage and capitalfees. Most importantly, we completed a

comprehensive sewer consolidation studythat could save us millions of dollars.

This represents a step in the right direc-tion, but we still have a lot of work to do.Making our sewer system more cost effec-tive will remain one of our key goals in2013.

Please remember, our fee structure isstill usage-based. So, even though rates areunchanged in 2013, individual householdbills may increase or decrease based onhow much water was consumed in 2012.

In regard to the police recruitmentprocess, there is nothing more importantthan protecting public safety services inMontgomery. Our police department is cur-rently employing the optimal number ofofficers. However, over the next few years,we face three to four retirements, and twoof our officers will be out on extended peri-ods of leave, including a deployment to

Afghanistan. As such, we need to startplanning ahead to ensure that we maintainthe high level of service our families ex-pect and deserve.

School administrators through-

out the state were holding their

collective breath leading up to

Gov. Christies 2013 budget address last

week.

Where would state aid stand? was

the question on everyones mind. If

state aid went down considerably, howhard would it hit the school districts

bottom line?

Come last week, though, these same

administrators were able to breathe a

sigh of relief when Christie an-

nounced that his budget proposal

would actually increase state aid

schools and, more importantly, would-

nt reduce aid to any school district.

Overall, Christies budget provides

for an $87 million bump in state aid to

public schools, up to almost $9 billion

total, which is a record high for the sec-

ond straight year.

But those numbers often are not im-

portant to school districts like ours,

which doesnt receive the bulk of state

aid to public schools anyway. What is

important to our district is that we

wont be seeing a decrease in aid from

last year.

The exact amount of state aid that

will be given to each district hasnt

been released yet, but once it is, its

likely to show that our districts aidwill be flat, year over year. While we

certainly could have used more help

from the Garden State, its comforting

to know we wont have to kick in more

money out of our already thin pockets.

So two thumbs up to Christie for

paying attention to one of the most im-

portant aspects of life here in New Jer-

sey our public schools.

in our opinion

Phew!No school district will see a decrease in state aid

Its budget time

The school district will be releasing its2013-2014 budget numbers, and theimpact on your tax bills, shortly. The Sunwill have all the details on the budgetwhen they are released. If you want toshare your thoughts on the topic, sendus a letter to the editor. Wed love tohear from you.

letter to the editor

Why is Italy representedpoorly in America?

I am an Italian visiting NewJersey, and I was inspired to write

this letter after visiting a Montes-sori school in Hillsborough. Ithink most Italians and U.S. citi-zens do not know that MariaMontessori was born in Chiar-avalle, a small township in theMarche region of Italy.

Many Italians probably also donot know that there are about5,000 Montessori schools in theU.S.

In the United States, where mil-lions of citizens are of Italian ori-

gin, I find it strange that the Ital-ian culture is most representedby three words: pasta, pizza andmafia. Can anyone explain to methe reason for this poor represen-

tation of Italians, and conse-quently, of Italy as a nation? Is itnot true that mafia, in variousforms and names, exist every-where around the world?

I am an Italian a descendent

of the people who discoveredAmerica. I share my nationalitywith Galileo, Galvani, Volta, Mar-coni, Meucci and Fermi peoplewho have greatly contributed tobuilding the foundation of mod-ern technology. And who hasgiven more to the world in termsof culture and art than Leonardida Vinci?

As a man born in Marche, a re-gion that has produced some ofthe worlds most famous people

such as the great painter Raffael-lo Sanzio, the poet Giacomo Leop-ardi, the opera composerGioacchino Rossini, the industri-alist Enrico Mattei and Ugo Betti,

the playwright and poet I amproud to see that the name andthe teaching method of MariaMontessori has been and still ishighly appreciated here in theU.S.

Evil and good, as everyoneshould know, have no nationality.The actions of a few cannot andshould not obscure the virtuesand merits of many particularlythose virtues and merits rightlybelonging to a nation.

So, for the first time in about a

decade, we will begin recruitingnew cadets for training at the

countys police academy. It takesover a year for a new officer tojoin our department, but this istime well spent. Montgomery is aunique community with unique

needs, and being able to train acadet with our philosophy is very

attractive. This will help ensurethat our new officers are top-notch law enforcement profes-sionals and fit well with our com-munity.

A women's and gender studiesmajor, Eckhardt has devoted themajority of her career at Dickin-son to social sustainabilitythrough coursework and servicework in the local community. She

explained how she designed andfacilitated support groups for peo-ple transitioning out of homeless-ness, which is the project thatlanded her a fellowship with the

program.The Baird program is trying

to bring together students fromthe senior class who represent di-verse commitments to sustain-ability, she said.

Wilmot echoed Eckhardts

comments and noted how the pro-gram is truly expanding the stu-dents knowledge about all as-pects of sustainability.

I am so grateful to be sur-

rounded by a great group of pas-sionate students who I am in-spired by, both in and beyond theclassroom walls of this colloqui-um, to collaborate with, anddream with, and implement fu-ture projects, she said.
