wounded attendees of the gameswere on their first trips out of thehospital after incurring their in-

juries. Long and her family wereexposed to this a few times beforeembarking on the next phase ofher mission.

Longs father, David Long, rem-inisced about their trips to theDouble Tree Hotel, which wouldhouse the 15 to 20 players whoLincoln Financial organized to

bring to the games. Long and herfather would visit the DoubleTree the night before a game andthen greet the wounded soldiersimmediately before the game. Hesaw Clares investment in theplight of these servicemen andsaid to his daughter we shouldbring some awareness to yourpeers about what youre doingand these people youre meeting

with.With that, Long and her father

would travel to military hospitalsthe week before the games so shecould take time to get to know in-dividuals, what their experienceshave been and how they feelabout being injured. Long wasmoved by the soldiers stories andshared them with her school andclassmates. Longs father referredto this as phase one of herwork.

Next, Long began a friendshipwith Lt. Col. Kyle Ellison of theUnited States Marine Corps. Elli-son spoke at Stuart Country Day

School during the time that Longwas a student there. He invitedLong and her family to visit thePentagon and informed her thathe would speak to her school andbring along a wounded warriorto help her demonstrate to herclassmates why their efforts areso important.

On Feb. 19, Ellison will speak atthe Presbyterian Church in Pen-

nington at 8:45 a.m. with Sgt. Ju-lian Torres, a double amputeewho sacrificed his legs in servicein Afghanistan. The mother ofLance Cpl. Cody Childers, Torresfellow Golf Company Marine,who survived the blast thatclaimed Torres legs, but waskilled by gunfire almost a monthlater, Wendy Childers, will alsospeak about her experience as aGold Star Mother.

My overall reason for doingthis is just to bring awareness;were only high school students,so we should have an idea whatthese people go through every sin-

gle day. These men did this for us,for our freedom so we can live insafety. I am just trying to get themessage out, Long said.

eve written openly and

often in this space about

casinos and gambling in

general, and, for the most part, we

have advocated for the support of At-

lantic Citys casinos, and expanded

gambling offerings such as online

gaming and betting on sports.This time, not so much.

We dont often bash politicians in

this space, either. Were more of the

thumbs up kinda guys and gals

when it comes to recognizing the work

our elected officials put in. They get

enough grief for every move they

make from other sources.

This time, not so much.State Sen. President Steve Sweeney,

like just about every politician past,

president and, most likely, future, is

concerned about Camden. He wants to

revitalize the city, along with other

struggling cities such as Trenton and

Newark. His solution, according to a

Press of Atlantic City report, is to

open casinos in Camden, which he be-

lieves might be a better location for

gambling than East Rutherford, where

gambling dens have been proposed.

He must be joking.

Outside New Jersey, Camden is infa-

mous for being the murder capital of

the U.S. Inside New Jersey, its reputa-

tion might be even worse.

Sure, casinos can bring significant

revenue to an area and, to an extent,

help revitalize it. But that just wont

work here, in our opinion.

For casinos to be successful nowa-

days, there have to be more offerings

than just gambling were talking

shows, dining, nightlife, spas and

shopping. Just look at Atlantic Citys

gambling revenue decline versus its

increase in non-gambling revenue. Its

obvious.

This cant happen in Camden.

Wealthier New Jersey residents

with disposable income the ones who

can afford to spend lavishly at thecomedy clubs, on a massage and on a

steak dinner arent likely to flock to

Camden to do the same. And out-of-

staters? Good luck with that!

The more likely scenario is that a

casino in Camden would prey on the

already poor residents of the poverty-

stricken city, promising a chance at an

easy solution but delivering nothingbut empty wallets.

Camden isnt a lost cause. Hard

work, determination and, frankly,

some luck, could turn the city around

... over time. But it will take dedication

and smart planning, not a quick fix

such as a casino.

What is Sweeney thinking?

Casinos in Camden?Steve Sweeney must be out of his mind!

Your thoughts

What are your thoughts on state Sen.Steve Sweeneys idea to bring casinos toCamden, or other cities such as Trentonor Newark? Do you think it could work, orwould it do more harm than good? Shareyour thoughts with our readers.

$567,662. Finally, the average daysfor a home on the market de-creased from 82 to 79 days, whichrepresents a 3.65 percent drop.

Diversification is the reasonfor the lower average price, ac-cording to Blane, because town-houses and more affordable com-munities fill in because of the de-sirable school district and senseof community. While larger, moreexpensive homes are still mov-

ing in the current market condi-tions, the average price is lower.Blane emphasized that there arepockets of the township thathave units selling for well morethan the asking prices.

As a resident of Montgomeryherself, Blane is familiar with thetownships unique features and isconstantly informing first-timebuyers of the many benefits ofliving in an area rich with rural

beauty and a supportive commu-nity.

I grew up in Montgomery, andI had the rare opportunity ofwatching the farmland turn intothe developments. The house thatI live in used to be just woods. Ithink that what Montgomery hasdone is made the local govern-ment pull together to keep thebeauty alive and immerse it intothe community, she said.

Blane appreciates that the localgovernment has provided ordi-nances to preserve Montgomerysintegrity, but the town also wel-comes supportive local business-

es that benefit taxes as well. Addi-tionally, she explains that often-times her clients are blindsidedby the vastness of the townshipitself, and they do not take it forgranted.

Clients cannot believe all thisexists, the Sourland Mountains,neighborhoods that have beenbuilt around farmhouses, mod-ern luxury homes with views of astream, park or conserved land.

The town has not become so com-mercialized that you lose sight ofthe beauty and you can really getany type of house, she said.

Not surprisingly, the Mont-gomery Township School Districtis the No. 1 draw to the area.Being so highly rated and offer-ing many AP classes, Blane re-ports that many clients will noteven consider other townshipsdue to their determination to en-roll their children in such a pres-tigious district.

When examining where Mont-gomery buyers come from, it isclear that once residents experi-

ence all that the area has to offer,they rarely leave.We found 62 percent of the

Princeton area buyers were localpeople either upgrading or down-sizing. In years past, we wouldhave the idea in our mind that itwas relocation from other areasfor jobs such as Johnson andJohnson employees, because thatwas originally what was drawingpeople to the area.
