    Montgomery High School cheerleaders head to nationalsBy HEATHER FIORE

    The Montgomery Sun

    The Montgomery High School(MHS) varsity cheerleading teamreached yet another milestone inits successful season on Dec. 8 atthe UCA Empire Regionals Com-petition, where it snatched sixthplace and secured a bid to the Na-tionals competition in Floridanext month.

    The team competed against 16teams at the competition, whichtook place in a larger arena atHofstra University this year asopposed to the gymnasium, ac-

    cording to MHS Varsity cheer-leader sophomore Katie Joslin.

    I think that the squad did anamazing job, she said. We were

    very surprised to find out that thefirst five teams were Nationalwinning teams, and that we couldnot have placed any higher be-cause the other teams have wonNationals. Personally, I thought ofit as first place because we werethe next highest team.

    This year was also the firstyear that the MHS varsity cheer-leading team placed in the top 10at Regionals, which was also grat-ifying for all of the girls and espe-cially new head coach TiffanyRiley.

    "Being that it is my first year asthe new head coach, I am incredi-

    bly proud of the accomplish-ments of this new team, shesaid. This was a rebuilding year,yet this talented group of ladies

    won the Somerset County Cham-pionship for the first time inMontgomery history, as well as abid to compete at the NationalChampionship once again inFlorida. I am eager to see whatthis team's determination anddrive will bring next.

    The 16-girl competition squadgave a solid performance at theRegionals, impressing the audi-ence and judges with the stuntsand level of difficulty in theirroutine, all of which ultimatelyadvanced them to the UCA Na-tional Cheerleading Champi-onship to be held at Orlandos

    ESPN Wide World of Sports onFeb. 9, according to MHS CheerBooster President Shari Joslin.

    This will be our third year [at

    Nationals], she said. And this isprobably our best chance to place,because in the last few years, wewere just building the team so wewere able to get to Nationals. Weactually did make it through thepreliminaries, but this year, wethink well make it past the prelim-inaries and get to the semi-finalsand then to the finals on Feb. 10.

    Joslin also detailed the vigor-ous fundraising efforts the teamis currently conducting, since thetrip to Orlando for the brigade of21 carries a price tag of $21,000,all of which is self-funded by theMHS Cheer organization.

    To raise funds, she explainedhow the team sold mums in thefall, held poinsettia sales in De-cember, did bagging for cus-

    tomers at the ShopRite in Mont-gomery on Dec. 23, ran a pancakebreakfast at the Applebees inHillsborough on Jan. 5, and iscurrently soliciting sponsorshipsfrom businesses who have spon-sored them in the past as well asnew merchants around town andthe local area.

    Were still trying to get intoShopRite to do additional bag-gings, she said. We plan for Na-tionals throughout the year, so wedo quite a bit of fundraisingevents.

    Along with fundraising endeav-ors, Katie described how the team

    is preparing for the Nationals.We are in the process of

    The Montgomery TownshipHealth Department is workingwith the Greater Somerset PublicHealth Partnership (GSPHP),New Jersey Department of Envi-ronmental Protection (NJDEP)and the Regional Chronic Dis-ease/Cancer Coalition (RCDC) ofMorris and Somerset counties torecognize January as RadonAwareness Month.

    Radon is an odorless, tastelessand invisible gas that occurs nat-

    urally in soil. It is released fromthe natural decay of the elementsuranium, thorium and radium,and occurs in higher concentra-tions in certain areas of the state,including Somerset County.

    Radon is the leading cause oflung cancer in nonsmokers andthe second leading cause of lungcancer in the United States.Radon is associated with 15,000 to22,000 lung cancer deaths each

    year in the United States.Somerset County is commit-

    ted to increasing awareness aboutlung cancer, public health andsafety liaison, Freeholder MarkCaliguire said. Its importantthat residents decrease exposureto radon to reduce the incidenceof lung cancer.

    In an effort to reduce the riskof exposure to radon gas, resi-dents are urged to test theirhomes, Health Officer of

    Branchburg and GSPHP presi-dent Cinthia Weaver said. Itsnot uncommon to find that homeson the same block will have differ-ent test results. Even if yourneighbors home is not affectedby radon gas, it does not meanthat your home is in an accept-able range.

    to our residents at home for thefirst time ever. Even though theseare significant accomplishments,its time to look forward to2013.

    Trzaska highlighted his fourmain goals for this year, which in-clude protecting public healthand safety services, adhering tothe Gov. Christie two-percentproperty tax cap, preserving addi-tional open space and protectingthe townships rural character,and optimizing use of the limitedcommercial land in town.

    You never know what a newyear will bring, but it is safe tosay that 2013 is going to be chal-lenging yet full of opportunitiesto protect and improve our quali-ty of life, Trzaska said. We arestill confronting a structuralbudget deficit, an inefficientsewer system, and the need to pre-serve more key tracts of land.However, with hard work, thenext 12 months can be very pro-ductive in shaping the Mont-gomery that future generationswill enjoy.

    The last few years havent been

    good ones for Atlantic City casi-

    nos. And, over the last few

    years, theres been plenty of blame to

    go around. There has been a lack of a

    coordinated marketing effort until rel-

    atively recently, for example. The casi-

    nos were slow to respond to competi-tion from surrounding states, too.

    But blame Novembers disastrous

    numbers on, well, a disaster. Hurri-

    cane Sandy blew ashore followed

    closely by another strong storm that

    kept people away from the city.

    According to the Division of Gam-

    ing Enforcement, casino win fell 27.9

    percent in the calendar month of No-

    vember from last years November

    numbers.

    Overall, casino win was down 7.9

    percent in the first 11 months of 2012,

    compared to the first 11 months of

    2011.

    That said, the state had some better

    news to report: For the three gaming

    weeks ending Nov. 30, casino win was

    down only 13 percent versus the same

    three weeks in 2011. The huge hit came

    in the two weeks impacted by Hurri-

    cane Sandy and the second storm.

    Casino win was down 63 percent com-

    pared to the same two weeks of 2011.

    Also, during November, nine conven-

    tions, 15 concerts and assorted other

    events were cancelled due to the

    storms. Sandy also impacted October

    revenue as well.

    But, it could have been worse. Thecasinos and the boardwalk in front of

    the casinos emerged without a signifi-

    cant amount of damage. The casinos

    reopened fairly quickly after Sandy.

    And it seems as though the Do AC

    campaign is finally beginning to mar-

    ket the city as a whole, which is way

    better than relying on individual casi-

    nos to attract patrons.

    Maybe, if the weather cooperates,

    2013 finally will bring better news for

    Atlantic City.

    in our opinion

    This time, blame Mother NatureHurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on AC casino revenue as well

    A big casino loss

    Not surprisingly, Hurricane Sandy andthe storm that followed only a few dayslater, wreaked havoc on Atlantic Citycasinos. Casino win was way down inNovember. But, the casinos, for themost part weathered the storm and

    might be in for brighter days in 2013.

    The following information was providedby the Montgomery Township Police De-partment.

    On Dec. 11, 2012 at 7:02 a.m., police re-sponded to a two-car motor vehicle crashon Route 206 near the intersection of PikeRun Road.

    ing and the other male was issued a sum-mons for operating an unregistered vehi-cle. Both drivers are scheduled to appearMontgomery Municipal Court.

    On Dec. 13, 2012, at 12:01 p.m., police

    stopped a 1988 Chevrolet pickup on GreatRoad after the driver and front seat passen-ger were observed not wearing seatbelts by

    the police. The driver was identified as a28-year-old male and the passenger wasidentified as a 31-year-old male. During thestop, police detected the odor of marijuanacoming from the vehicle and the driverconsented to a search of his vehicle.

    adding some new material to ourstunt sequence to really wow the

    judges at Nationals, she said.We are improving our tumblingskills and getting higher skills tomake our routine better. We usu-ally practice for the entire two-month period that we have. Weutilize every second of everypractice by performing our rou-

    tine just as if we were performingat a competition. We normallywork on things that need morework. If a stunt is not steady, wewill do it until it becomes steady,which only makes us stronger. Ifwe practice the routine full out,and team members aren't practic-ing full out, we will do it againuntil we do it right.

    Our coach is an amazingcoach and she really keeps us fo-

    cused, she added.Katie, who is also on the UCA

    All-American team and just re-turned from London after per-forming in the New Years DayParade, noted how shes confidentabout the Nationals because theteam is such a strong, tight-knitgroup.

    I have never contributed in asport where I had the friends thatI do now, she said. I went intoJV cheerleading not really beingassociated with any of the girls.From my year on JV, our team be-

    came a family and I felt like I be-longed with the girls, that I fit inwith them. I have never felt soclose to my team members than Ido now.
