The Master Gardeners of Mer-
cer County will be hosting its an-
nual Spring Plant Expo and Gar-
den Market on Saturday, May 4
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mer-
cer Educational Gardens in
Hopewell.
The group is comprised of
trained volunteers who provide
horticultural information and
programs to the community, and
was created by the Rutgers Coop-
erative Extension of Mercer
County.
For more than 10 years, the
MGs have been hosting the Expo,
which is the groups largest
fundraiser.
It started in the early days as
just a sale within the organiza-
tion, said Carol Bencivengo, co-
chair of the event and nine-year
MG. Then, they started adding
pieces that they dug up from
members gardens and some they
purchased from local nurseries.
After that, they added a second-
hand sale, where they sell vari-
ous garden and yard items that
people want to donate, such as
rakes, garden books and other
equipment, which has become
very popular.
For this years event, the Gar-
deners are introducing a new

Each year, the Master Gardeners of Mercer County have hundreds to thousands of plants for purchase at its annual Plant Expo and Garden

The Lawrence Sun
On Saturday, May 11, the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation will be host-
ing its annual fundraiser, the
Great Strides walk-a-thon, at Mer-
cer County Park in West Windsor.
Great Strides is the CFFs
largest national fundraising
event. It draws more than 250,000
walkers each year who all have a
common goal to find a cure for
CF.
CF is a devastating genetic dis-
ease that affects tens of thou-
sands of children and young
adults in the United States. Re-
search and care supported by the
CFF are making a huge differ-
ence in the lives of those living
with CF.
In 2012, nearly $40 million was
raised to help support life-saving
research, quality care and educa-
tion programs, according to the
foundations website.
Lawrenceville resident Lee
Tockman, whose 12-year-old son
has been living with CF since he
was 1-week-old, used to partici-
pate in Somersets division of the
race until it was discontinued.
They stopped that walk, so we
havent done it in a few years, but
we reconnected with someone at
the CFF who started a new walk
at Mercer County Park, Tock-
man said.
Anyone can attend the walk
and/or join Tockmans team, and
all proceeds go directly to the
CFF.
Its the biggest fundraiser
they do everywhere, and its
helped them make huge advance-
ments, Tockman said.
Proceeds from the event have
helped fund different types of re-
search, which, in turn, have gen-
erated different types of medica-
tion, such as Kalydeco.
In 2012, the FDA approved Ka-
lydeco, the first drug made avail-
able to treat the underlying defect
in CF, rather than treating just
the symptoms, Tockman said.
This drug may possibly be a
cure for certain strands of CF, he
said.
Since CF is a spectrum of dis-
ease dependent on the specific in-
dividualized genetic mutation, in-
dividualized repairs of the defect
require individualized fixes.
Now that Vertex, the maker of
Kalydeco, has shown success
with this individualized genetic
mutation treatment, it and nu-
merous other drug companies are
investigating other molecules
that may correct the abnormal
CFTR protein and correct or im-
prove the abnormalities associat-
ed with numerous other CF muta-
tions, according to the CFF.
This drug could be life-chang-
ing to those living with CF, since
medical bills associated with the
disease can be astronomical.
Medication is very expen-
sive, Tockman said. My son has
three different nebulizer treat-
ments. One of them is close to
$1,000 per month, a vest he has is

M
oney is always an issue.
Families are constantly
pinching pennies, looking
for ways to reduce expenses. School
districts and municipal governments
are doing the same, hoping to help
lower, or at least stabilize, the amount
of tax money they require to live in
town.
The challenge has always been, and
will continue to be, how these entities
can control costs while still providing
high-quality services that their resi-
dents demand. The state of New Jersey
certainly isnt helping much through
aid, and its unlikely that will change
any time soon.
So the onus is on the local municipal
governments and school districts to get
creative: Not only what can be cut from
expenses, but what can be added to rev-
enues.
For awhile now, the idea of private
sponsorship of public facilities has
been tossed around. Selling banners to
local businesses at Little League fields,
or having that business sponsor a
youth sports team has been the norm
for quite some time. And no one seems
to have a problem with that.
But throw in the possibility of sell-
ing naming rights at a field or, worse
even, a building or complex, and excep-
tions start to arise. When is enough
enough? the detractors ask. Does
everything need to be sold?
We agree that there is a fine line be-
tween tasteful, effective sponsorship
and over-the-line, banner-on-every-
inch-of-the-field advertising. Think
Major League 2 here (for all you
sports movie fans).
Moorestown Township recently ap-
proved an ordinance on first reading
that, if passed, would establish an offi-
cial sponsorship program. Officials
say that the program would increase
township revenues and help with im-
provements and maintenance of recre-
ational fields.
Annual banner and sponsorship op-
portunities will be available, with nam-
ing rights being offered as five- or 10-
year deals, with minimum bids of
$5,000 and $35,000, respectively. To en-
sure proper material, businesses wont
be allowed to advertise the sale of alco-
hol, tobacco, adult-oriented material or
other items not consistent with pro-
moting the youth sports program and
the positive image of the township.
We applaud Moorestown Township
for its work in this regard, and we urge
other townships to follow suit.
If done correctly, sponsorships and
naming rights can provide a huge in-
flux of cash to youth sports leagues, to
school districts and to municipal gov-
ernments.
This field brought to you by...
Its time for governments, schools to utilize sponsorships at fields, buildings
Too much advertising?
Do you agree that sponsorship is a good
idea? Or do you think that enough is
enough? Let us know your thoughts

Diversity/Culture Day set for Sunday
The Lawrence Township Human Rela-
tions Committee, in cooperation with the
Lawrence Township School District, is

es and international music. There will be

Dancers will be presenting their tradition-
al dance. Members of the Islamic Circle of
Mercer County will be doing

ticipate along with GEPNA, HomeFront
and the Eggerts Crossing Civic League. Dr.

$12,000 and he sees a doctor every
three to four months. Its definite-
ly expensive.
The proceeds from Great
Strides have made it possible for
drugs like Kalydeco to exist, and
for ongoing research efforts to
progress.
This is why the CFF has coined
its Great Strides motto Walk
Today. Add Tomorrows.
The walk raises awareness
about CF for people, but the fact
that it raises a lot of money for
different programs whether its
for the development of medica-
tion or paying for medication for
people who cant afford it is very
important, Tockman said. For
people to show up and support
this is crucial, and its great to
have that awareness as well.
Great Strides at Mercer County
Park is scheduled to begin at 10
a.m. on May 11. There is no cost to
join the race.

can pre-register online at cff.org.

When you think of a senior cit-
izen, an Ironman triathlete does
not usually come to mind. Add to
that legally blind from birth and
what do you have? Charlie
Plaskon, triathlete and motiva-
tional speaker.
On Saturday, May 4, Plaskon
will the guest rider for the Bike
for Bridge, a charity bike ride for
The Bridge Academy in
Lawrenceville.
Plaskon was born with Star-
gardt macular degeneration, and
has been legally blind his whole
life. But, he never let his lack of
sight stop him. With the support
of family, he received his bache-
lors degree from Newark State
College in New Jersey, his first
masters degree from the Univer-
sity of Maryland at College Park,
and his second masters degree
from Hofstra University on Long
Island. He married, raised three
children, and after 32 successful
years in the classroom at Copi-
ague Middle School on Long Is-
land, he retired to Florida in 1999.
Several months into retirement,
Charlie picked up a new chal-
lenge running. In a short time,
he was running half marathons,
quickly followed by full
marathons.
After three years of success at
this sport, including completing
three marathons in three weeks
in Europe, he turned to a new en-
deavor triathlons adding
swimming and biking to the chal-
lenge. Since 2003, he has complet-
ed numerous half Ironman and
full Ironman events, including
the World Championship in
Kona, Hawaii, in October 2007.
The Bike for Bridge cycling
event will include three cycling
routes of 100 miles, 66 miles and
34 miles plus a one-mile fun
ride. All activities will begin and
end at Rosedale Park, registration
starting at 7 a.m.
It is open to the public and all
cyclists are welcome to meet and
ride with this remarkable man.

Documentary screening
scheduled for May 7
The League of Women Voters
of Lawrence Township and
Lawrence High School invite you
to a free screening of the docu-
mentary film, "The Struggle to

tary," by the LHS Threads Civil
Rights Movie Team.

great place to live.
This event is free and open to
the public. Come and meet the
students and community leaders
who are making history. Refresh-
ments will be served. For more in-
formation, contact LWVLT Presi-
dent Sue Varga at scvarga@hot-

ture a selection of eight vendors
from New Jersey and Pennsylva-
nia.
Over the years, weve been
going to the same growers to get
plants because our access to gar-
deners is very limited, Ben-
civengo said. This year, we de-
cided we really wanted to do
something different and supply
plants that the public and MGs
havent normally had access to.
So, we changed it up and are hav-
ing handpicked vendors who
wed like to see and who are
bringing things we havent been
able to offer in the past.
These specialty vendors will
be selling a variety of plants, in-
cluding native perennials, annu-
als, vines, trees, shrubs, succu-
lents, herbs, terrariums, ferns
and wild plants.
In this area, you dont get
these vendors all together in one
spot; its very rare, Bencivengo
said. Were thinking that this
years event could be even better
than it normally is for us.
The event will also include an
interactive Q&A with Mercer
County Horticulturist Barbara
Bromley, as well as advice
from various MGs, who will be
walking around to assist cus-
tomers in choosing the right
plant for the right spot, the MG
motto.
We try to educate the public
about responsible gardening,
Bencivengo said. Theres a push
from our organization to plant
native plants. If theyre native, it
makes sense that theyre going to
grow the best here.
Every year, the MGs gather
plants from various members
gardens in processes known as
big digs. The plants acquired
from the big digs account for
about half of what is sold at the
Expo.
Theodora Wang, a
Lawrenceville resident and 10-
year MG, used to coordinate the
big digs and continues to par-
ticipate in the process.
A group of MGs goes to anoth-
er members house that has a sur-
plus of plants and helps dig them
up and pot them for the Expo,
she said. There were four big
digs this year. We got several
hundred plants.
Although Wang has been heav-
ily involved with the Expo in the
past, shes taking a more laid
back role this year. Shell be in
charge of the holding area,
where customers can drop off
their purchases while they shop
for more items.
The sale has grown and
grown every year to the point
where we try to make it an educa-
tional event as well as our major
fundraiser, Bencivengo said.
Between what we have pur-
chased and what we donated
from our garden, we give
advice to customers on what
plant would work where, and we
try to promote what to do with it
next how to plant it. We like
them to go away with a little edu-
cation.
The Plant Expo will be held,
rain or shine, at Mercer Educa-
tional Gardens, which is located
at 431A Federal City Road in
Hopewell, adjacent to the Mercer
County Equestrian Center. The
event is free and open to the pub-
lic.
