SentineNorth Brunswick • South Brunswick l NJ Transit Bringing back announces approval of the boardwalk train station

Northeast Corridor line will run through MainStreetNB project, to be built along Route 1 north

BY KATHY CHANG SmffWriter et excited, North Brunswick. That is what Jonathan Frieder, Gprincipal of North Brunswick TOD Associates, said of the news that came out last week. "We're excited that we are all moving forward," he said with a smile he could not contain as he sat in the offices on the for- mer Johnson & Johnson site on Route 1 north, overlooking the massive plans for the MainStreetNB transit village project. "We have waited for this moment for seven years." That moment occurred on Jan. 8, when NJ Transit went out to bid on the prelimi- nary engineering, construction and design work of a new train station and "flyover" tracks, which is estimated to cost $30 mil- lion. "This is the preliminary stage, but the train station will have all transit ticket amenities such as vending and notices," said Nancy Snyder, spokesperson for NJ Tran- sit. All bids are due by the end of the busi- ness day on Feb 15. "After that, the procurement process will begin, where officials will review all the bids," she said. "We are looking at a pro- jected completion date of 2018." Snyder said NJ Transit sees many bene- fits with the proposed North Brunswick train station, which will be the first for the township. The area has been considered the busiest for rail lines in North America. "We have seen a substantial customer growth in our Jersey Avenue station [in New Brunswick]," she said. "We continu- ously monitor our customer patterns and trends. We foresee that this new train station will significantly benefit the area." Snyder said the flyover tracks would allow southbound trains to loop back around and head back north toward JEFF GRANIT staff Newark. Belmar became the first municipality among Jersey Shore towns to break ground on its boardwalk replacement project on Jan. 9. Belmar Mayor Matt Doherty said the project will be complete in time for Memorial Day. (Continued on page 19) 2 SENTINEL NS GREATER MEDIA NEWSPAPERS • www.gmnews.com January 17, 2013

Troop 90 of Kendall Park celebrates 50 years of Scouting

BY STELLA MORRISON Staff Writer oy Scout Troop 90, Kendall Park, has seen half a cen- Btury of success. The troop celebrated its 50th year with a gathering of Eagle Scouts, troop masters and others at a Jan. 13 reunion that high- lighted and proudly presented the troop's history and evolution since its chartering in 1963. "We've been planning this for about six months," Tom Grzelak, Troop 90 committee chair, told the Sentinel. "We just rechartered with the Boy Scouts again, too." Troop 90, a boy-led leadership development troop where the Scouts put together programming with the advice of adults, hosted 130 people at the Griggstown Firehouse, Princeton, for an after- noon of teaching the current Troop 90 about the troop's activities and or- ganization for the past five decades. "Several people from different eras of the troop came up and gave a history," Grzelak said. "They gave a brief summary and told a story from the time." John Golias, Tim Burman, Ken Pearc and Mark Butera, who were all involved with the troop since the 1970s, gave overviews of the particular decade that they were involved in the Scouts. "John Golias wore the uniform from the 1970s," Grzelak said. "He was really into it!" South Brunswick Township Deputy Mayor Chris Killmurray, New Jer- sey State Sen. Christopher "Kip" Bateman (R-16th District), Scout Execu- tive Ian Lilien and Joyce Kilmer District Executive Tanasha Scott all gave brief remarks to those present. The afternoon had a special guest: 84-year-old Bill Eldred, whose father, Arthur Eldred, was the first Eagle Scout in the history of the organization. Bill Eldred's son became an Eagle Scout with Troop 90. "He became an active member of Troop 90 when his son was here," Grze- lak said. "He took pictures with the boys and saw all the great things that our troop is doing. It was great to finally meet him after hearing for so long that the grandson of Arthur Eldred became an Eagle Scout through Troop 90." The current troop had an opportunity to teach the troop alumni: Each fam- ily that came brought a dish that represented their culture at home to demon- strate the diversity of the troop, a hallmark change and a reflection of trie diversity of South Brunswick. "It really came off great because we had a tremendous variety of foods with stories about their grandmothers cooking or how it's made at home every year. It really came together as a nice way to tell everyone how Troop 90 evolved into a tremendously diverse group of people," Grzelak said. For those who could not attend the event, Grzelak said that many alumni were interested in learning what the troop is up to. "We let people know about the troop site, mytroop90.org," Grzelak said. "Many past leaders wanted to know what's up, so at the site, you can see the Top left: John Golias, of Kendall Park, talks about Scouting during the 1970s at the 50th anniversary history of the troop and all the different things that the scouts are doing." celebration held by Troop 90 on Jan. 13.

BY JESSICA D'AMICO & KENNY WALTER Staff Writers hether one lives by the Shore or makes summertime pilgrimages Wthere from farther-flung places in the state, the destruction of boardwalks by superstorm Sandy dealt a. crushing blow. The good news, however, is that many beachside towns have begun the arduous task of rebuilding, with some vowing to have their boardwalks intact by Memorial Day. "Belmar is leading the way to recovery," Gov. Chris Christie said during a Jan. 9 speech preceding the groundbreaking on the boardwalk reconstruction there. He went on to say that he would be there again on Memorial Day, when the board- walk is slated for reopening. The town awarded the $6.6 million con- tract to rebuild its 1.3-mile boardwalk to Piscataway-based Epic Construction, which drove in the first of the pilings to mark the beginning of the work. "The way this new boardwalk is being built is going to be far superior than the pre- vious ones," said Belmar Mayor Matt Do- herty. "It will be built to a standard that would have withstood Sandy."

BY JAMES McEVOY Staff Writer ne year ago, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey opened Othe gates of a sprawling castle with blue spires reaching into the sky — a fitting metaphor of the efforts of the organization to grant wishes for children with debilitating and life-threatening illnesses. In an interview with Greater Media Newspapers, Tom Weatherall, president and CEO of the New Jersey chapter of Make-A- Wish, reflected on the first anniversary of the opening of the Samuel and Josephine Wishing Place in Monroe Township, and its impact on the foundation's mission. "The driving purpose in creating this fa- cility was to enhance our already-powerful mission, but to help us in other ways as to advance the mission further," Weatherall said. Specifically, the 20,000-square-foot cas- tle has increased the visibility and aware- ness of the foundation itself. "We granted more wishes this last year than the year prior, and of course that is tremendously important to us," he said. "We have had more referrals to our mission. We have also had more volunteers come and sign up. In fact, it's the largest number we have ever had in our 29-year history of serv- ing New Jersey. Our donor base has ex- panded. "Whatever we had hoped the castle would do to enhance our mission has only exceeded our expectations," he added. "We have been able to engage the community in RLE PHOTO more meaningful ways than ever before." The Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey is celebrating Its first year of granting wishes out of Its Monroe Township location.
