    tlantic City has been a hub of

    economic development for

    New Jersey since the 1970s.

    The citys casinos have long been the

    states defining attraction to out-of-

    state guests, even more so than its ex-

    pansive beaches, which are a huge

    summertime draw.

    AC has been a focal point of develop-

    ment, tourism and marketing, and has

    generously repaid the favor in the

    form of revenue and taxes to the state.

    But a disturbing trend that began al-

    most 10 years ago continues today: Peo-

    ple are spending less and less money at

    Atlantic City casinos every day.

    The Center for Gaming Research at

    UNLV reports that, since 2006, total

    revenue at Atlantic City casinos has

    dropped a whopping 45 percent. Casi-

    nos brought in $2.9 billion last year,

    down from $3.1 billion in 2012 the sev-

    enth straight year that revenue num-

    bers were down from the year before.

    In the wake of surrounding states

    approving expanded gambling offer-

    ings at racetracks and standalone casi-

    nos, New Jersey no longer has the East

    Coast monopoly on gambling that it

    had even 10 years ago. No longer do

    gamblers have to choose between New

    Jersey, Las Vegas and, to a small de-

    gree, Connecticut; they can now stay

    closer to home in Pennsylvania,

    Delaware and even Maryland to placea bet.

    Gov. Christie and other legislators

    have recognized this alarming trend

    and have focused their efforts on alter-

    native forms of gambling to pump fuel

    into Atlantic Citys fire. Online gam-

    bling began Nov. 21 with casinos re-

    porting $8.4 million in related revenue

    since that time and the push for le-

    galized sports betting continues.

    But other surrounding states are al-

    ready following suit in their own push

    for online gambling, and New Jerseys

    case for legalizing sports gambling in

    the state doesnt look promising.

    So it seems about time to look else-

    where outside of gambling as a fu-

    ture source of significant revenue for

    the state.

    If Atlantic City casinos continue to

    lose revenue, and if online gambling

    doesnt make up those losses, then the

    state as a whole will suffer.

    What else is out there? What else is

    available? What else can attract

    tourists all year round?

    It might not be possible to answer

    these questions now, but lawmakers

    need to recognize the need to come up

    with a revenue solution soon. Our

    states long-term economic health

    could depend upon it.

    in our opinion

    A gambling alternative?NewJersey needs to find a new source ofrevenue, not a new form of gambling

    Your thoughts

    Should New Jerseys tourism industrycontinue to rely so heavily on gambling?Or should the state search for alternativerevenue? Share your thoughts onthe subject, and others, through a letterto the editor.

    heading the investigation, said on Jan. 13that he asked Mercer County ProsecutorJoseph Bocchini Jr. to review the contemptcharges brought against Wildstein.

    The charges were brought under a statestatute that says that refusing to answerquestions after waiving your constitution-al right to remain silent is a misdemeanor.

    The annual Wassailing Party isa fun gathering that follows alongtime British tradition. Was-sail is an ancient Saxon word thatmeans health be to you, and itsthe health of the trees that wewill celebrate.

Visi-tors can warm themselves next toa campfire (roasting marshmal-lows included!) or in our farmstore. Our winery tasting roomwill be open and we will be serv-ing hot mulled wine and snacks.

    Wassailing is an ancient tradi-

    tion from the cider-making re-gions of southern and westernEngland. It is usually held onTwelfth Night. People would gath-er in the apple orchard and per-form rituals to drive away evilspirits and ensure a successfulapple crop for the next year. Thetrees health was toasted withwarm cider, passed in a bucket.The custom was especially impor-tant during a period when labor-ers wages were partially paid in

    hard apple cider. Landlords need-ed a strong apple crop to attractgood workers. Wassailing wasmeant to keep the tree safe fromevil spirits until the next yearsapples appeared.

    Terhune Orchards is located at330 Cold Soil Road in Lawrence.Plenty of parking is available atthe farm. For more informationcall (609) 924-1310.

    George Washington Bridge inSeptember may have been politi-cal retribution against the mayorof Fort Lee, who did not endorseChristie in the 2013 election.

    While the Assemblys investi-gation is ongoing, Wisniewskisaid in a release that he believesWildstein should be charged forimpeding the investigation.

    The committee unanimouslybelieves that Mr. Wildsteins ob-fuscation of our investigationrises to the level of contemptunder existing state statutes,

    Wisniewski said in the release.Im hopeful that the MercerCounty prosecutor will see it fit totake up this matter in an effort to

    aid our quest to protect taxpayerresources from further abuse.

    10 THE LAWRENCE SUN JANUARY 2228, 2014

    Sunday, Jan. 26, to Saturday,Feb. 1, marks this years CatholicSchools Week, and Saint AnnSchool joins Catholic schoolsacross the country in celebration.

    The theme, which will remainover the next few years, isCatholic Schools: Communitiesof Faith, Knowledge and Serv-ice. It encompasses several con-cepts that are at the heart of aCatholic education. First, schoolsare communities small familiesin their own right, but also mem-bers of the larger community ofhome, church, city and nation.Faith, knowledge and service arethree measures by which any

    Catholic school can and should bejudged.Saint Ann School has been ex-

    emplifying these highly heldtenets of Catholic education for

    50 years. At Saint Ann School,students learn how to have a rela-tionship with God. They are in-volved in school liturgies andChristian activities, which form a

    bond between the children, thecommunity and the world. Thestudents honor and develop theirfaith in numerous and variedways, including attending month-ly Masses, engaging in daily reli-gion classes and participating asprayer buddies.

    The school also upholds a com-mitment to professional and cate-chist development for faculty andstaff, grounding itself in a spiritof openness, rooted in Gospel val-

    ues. Through instruction andfaith formation, students arecalled to a greater understandingof their inherent responsibility,as children of God, to actively

    participate as instruments of jus-tice and beacons of faith in every-day life. Catholic schools have anexcellent track record of helpingstudents maintain high marks in

    academic subjects, includingreading, writing and math. SaintAnn School consistently scoresabove average on national TerraNova standardized tests and isranked in the top tenth percentileof the nation, which earned itsstatus as a 2010 Blue RibbonSchool of Excellence.

    With an eye toward the futureof technology and how it contin-ues to advance the ways in whichstudents acquire knowledge,

    Saint Ann School recently partic-ipated in the largest educationevent in history, The Hour ofCode. During Computer ScienceEducation Week (Dec. 9-15), every

    Saint Ann student from kinder-garten through grade eight joinedmore than 2 million across theglobe to spend one hour engagingin online tutorials featuring Bill

    Gates, Mark Zuckerberg andAngry Birds. This worldwidemovement is a statement thattodays generation of students isready to learn critical skills forsuccess and not only consume,but also build the technologies ofthe future. Saint Ann has been in-tegrating coding into its curricu-lum for 12 years.

    Acts of charity and kindnessare practiced throughout SaintAnn School on an ongoing basis.

    This years Catholic SchoolsWeek service project involves col-lecting supplies for a school in aremote mountain region in thePhilippines. Saint Ann students

    will work in groups to create per-sonal touches on notebooks, andall of the items donated and deco-rated will be sent to this particu-lar area of poverty in the world.

    As for ongoing service initia-tives, every class is responsiblefor designing a Birthday in aBox that includes plates, cups,candles, gifts and other items tobe donated to a child in need sothat he/she doesnt have to missout on a birthday.

    In addition, the schools PTAholds its annual Advent Day ofGiving, involving participationfrom the entire school to collectvarious gifts for different mem-

    bers of a family.On the day of the event, under-privileged children from the localHomeFront organization "shop"for gifts for their families.

    The Education Foundation hasfunded more than 550 programsin Lawrence schools since 1992,and grants are awarded to teach-ers in the school district. To deter-mine which grants obtain fund-ing, the foundation accepts appli-cations from teachers twice ayear. Although there are manyareas within any school districtthat could benefit from grants, a

    board review and committee areutilized so all allocations are fair.

    A 20-member board evaluatesthe grants based on need, scope,feasibility and fit to the curricu-lum. Grants are then rated by

    pooling survey results from allmembers. Finally, the Grant Re-view Committee makes recom-mendations to the board, Cohensaid.
