Haddonfield commissionersunanimously approved three or-dinances on first reading on Tues-day, Feb. 24. The ordinanceswould increase the amount need-ed for the library improvements,change the yield signs to stopsigns at Redman Avenue and Bar-

berry Lane, and amend the bor-ough code to create a new chapterfor permits for commercial film-ing.

The first ordinance is a bondordinance for library improve-ments. The board had to go out tobid twice for library improve-ments, however, each time theboroughs estimation on costswere too low. This ordinance callsfor supplemental appropriation,

or an increase, of $400,000 for theimprovements and will authorizethe issuance of $380,000 in bondsor notes to cover part of the cost.This increases the estimated costof the improvements from $1.8million to $2.2 million.

We have had to increase theamount necessary for the im-provements that are going to bedone at the library because we

have twice gone out to bid andtwice the bids have been over theamount that we guessed or bud-geted, so in order to increase thatcapital budget, we will be further-ing the issuance of $380,000 inbonds or notes in order to financethis, Mayor Jeff Kasko said.

The second ordinance calls forthe replacement of yield signs at

School administrators through-

out the state were holding their

collective breath leading up to

Gov. Christies 2015 budget address last

week.

Where would state aid stand? was

the question on everyones mind. If

state aid went down considerably, how

hard would it hit the school districts

bottom line?

Come last week, though, these same

administrators were able to breathe a

sigh of relief when Christie an-

nounced that his budget proposal

would actually increase state aid to

schools and, more importantly, would-

nt reduce aid to any school district.

Overall, Christies budget provides

for an $811 million increase in educa-

tional funding, although only $4.6 mil-

lion of that will go to school aid. The

rest is earmarked for debt, pension and

health care.

The good news for school districts

like ours, which doesnt receive the

bulk of state aid to public schools any-

way, is that we will not lose any state

aid from last year. True, we wont be

seeing an increase, but at least we

wont lose money.

While we certainly could have used

more help from the Garden State, its

comforting to know we wont have to

kick in more money out of our already

thin pockets.

So two thumbs up to Christie for

paying attention to one of the most im-

portant aspects of life here in New Jer-

sey our public schools.

in our opinion

Phew!No school district will see a decrease in state aid

Its budget time

The school district will be releasing its2015-2016 budget numbers, and theimpact on your tax bills, shortly. The Sunwill have all the details on the budgetwhen they are released. If you want toshare your thoughts on the topic, sendus a letter to the editor. Wed love tohear from you.

Censure decision protectspeoples freedom of speechCuriouser and curiouser. Im curious

why anyone would take issue with the com-missioners' altogether fitting and propercensure of things said by former ZoningBoard Chairman Robert Grady. While anyinsult coming from a prominent decision-maker is no small matter, this one's easy

resolution was thwarted first by Mr.Grady's unwillingness to own up to his ob-vious error actually a number of them leaving the commissioners no choice, but

the discomfort of censure.Then, the simplicity of that fair solution

was challenged, first by a tiny supportgroup of politicians and then by Gradyhimself, who subsequent to the censure in-sulted members of the public once again,as reported in The Sun, this time accusingthem of "continuing to harass the mem-bers of the zoning board." Harass? Awrongful accusation that surpasses the in-famous "wacko" gaffe and insults the intel-

ligence of any member of the public whodares go before the Zoning Board for what-ever reason.

I for one will ask for a certain recusal,

maybe two, next time I need a decisionfrom the Zoning Board.

Curious why anyone, especially Mr.Grady, would crank it up rather than putthis sad matter behind us. And why wouldhis seeming supporters not want to just letthings be? Instead, they rallied with an in-comprehensible show of support at theFeb. 10 meeting, apparently sincere, buttainted by the uncomfortable fact that twoof the three who spoke in opposition to the

censure politicians Ed Borden and TishColombi were recipients of major ($1,000)

County launches Housing First

initiative to end homelessness

Im proud to be partof a new initiative

will have an instant im-pact on the overall

homeless population-throughout the county

and allow us, as a re-gion, to start making a

real change on thisissue. The program,Housing First, puts us

on the path to ending homelessnessin Camden County.

The New Jersey Department ofCommunity Affairs, New Jersey De-

partment of Human Services, Cam-den County Board of Freeholders,local hospitals, Camden Coalition of

Healthcare Providers, Southern NJContinuum of Care and local hous-

ing providers launched this collabo-rative effort to reduce homelessness

across Camden County.It is an innovative, evidence-based

approach to ending homelessnessthat has been effective in communi-ties across the country. These pro-

grams have been successful in

keeping the costliest, most vulnera-ble, long-term and chronically home-less patients stably housed,

dramatically reducing unnecessaryhospitalizations, emergency room

visits and incarcerations. A decadeof evidence has shown that it is moreexpensive to keep a homeless person

on the streets than it is to get some-one into permanent housing,

through a Housing First approach.The New Jersey Department of

Community Affairs and the New Jer-

sey Department of Human Servicesare committing 50 vouchers for a

Housing First project for high-utiliz-ers of the health care system in Cam-

den County. A competitive RFPprocess is expected to open next

month with an expected launch datethis summer The Camden County

Freeholder Board will invest$100,000 of funding from

the Homeless TrustFund into the new

strategy.It is estimated that on

any given night, morethan 650 individuals

are homeless in Cam-den County. This pro-

gram is the first steptoward reducing thisnumber and achieving

our goal of ending homelessness.Housing First has resulted in plum-

meting homeless numbers in thegreater Trenton area and has given

over 800 children a safe place to live.It is much easier to get your life backon track when you dont have to

worry about where your family isgoing to sleep at night.

In addition to this pilot project, theCamden County Housing First

Transformation Project will bring to-gether stakeholders from across the

city, county and state to participatein a quarterly leadership council tocoordinate efforts to continue to in-

vest in Housing First and to shift the

local ecosystem towards a focus onpermanent housing for the most vul-nerable and expensive individuals. It

will also convene a learning collabo-rative for staff and leaders from

local housing and service providersto develop the skills and capacity toserve the most vulnerable homeless

individuals through high-fidelityHousing First programs. The Corpo-

ration for Supportive Housing (CSH)will be providing this training and

technical assistance.

Times are changing. And we allowe Mayor Kasko and Commis-sioner Moscatelli a debt of grati-

Writer shares reasonsfor refusing PARCC exam

Our decision to refuse thePARCC was not one made lightly.We love our teachers and truly ap-

preciate all that our district hasdone to minimize the impact ofthe PARCC administration on ourstudents. In fact, our decision torefuse the PARCC was due to our

belief that Haddonfields teachersare highly skilled professionalswho do an outstanding job in anincreasingly difficult environ-ment, and are ultimately the peo-ple best suited to assess our chil-drens academic performance.Furthermore, after months of re-search on high-stakes standard-ized testing and current educa-tion reform, we acted on ourconvictions rather than partici-pating in a testing system that is

deeply flawed morally and peda-gogically, and underpinned bycorporate greed and politicalagendas, neither of which serveany of our children.

We are heartsick when hearingparents or officials state, Whatsthe big deal? We all took standard-ized tests growing up. Todayshigh-stakes tests, including thePARCC, are nothing like what wetook either in quantity, frequency

or consequence. Consider for amoment under the current NewJersey testing schedule, a publicschool third grader will be re-quired to take 21 separate stan-

dardized tests between now andgrade 11 and the associated finan-cial, instructional and emotionalcosts. It is far and away more test-ing than any parent was given asa child, and the consequences aregreater: high school graduation,state and federal funding, andteacher evaluations.

We hope that your readershipwill do their own research, take apractice PARCC and criticallyevaluate their choices.

Some questions we asked(among many, many others): The PARCC started with 22

member states, now it is down to11. Why have other states chosento refuse or postpone the PARCC?

Why are colleges movingaway from using standardizedtests such as the SAT and ACTwhen evaluating candidates yet

we are increasing our use and re-liance on them?

What will this test tell youthat your childs teacher doesntalready know?

Why are areas with highpoverty and racial minorities sostrongly correlated with stan-dardized test scores? How doesthis testing affect public schoolswith high numbers of specialneeds students?

Who stands to make money

off the PARCC administration?Who stands to make more moneywhen our children fail the test?

We respect that the school dis-trict is required by state law to ad-minister the test, but as parents,we are not required by law tohave our children participate. Re-fusing the PARCC in no waymeans you are attacking theschool. You are, in fact, support-ing our teachers and our schoolsby protesting state and federalcontrol over what should rightful-

ly be at the discretion of local dis-tricts. You are also taking a standfor those who are most likely tosuffer under the current systemof high-stakes standardized tests:the poor, racial minorities andspecial needs students.

We fully agree that the real bat-tle for public schools is at the leg-islative levels. State and federallaws are interfering with localdistricts abilities to select assess-ment tools, develop curriculumand evaluate teachers. Perma-nent change will only come whenconcerned citizens contact elect-ed representatives and make

their voices louder than thosewith deep pockets and for-profitmotives. Refusing the test is oneof the few things a parent can doto compete for legislative atten-

tion with the likes of Pearson, thefor-profit company who wroteand will score the PARCC.

Last year, an estimated 60,000-plus New York students refusedthe states Common Core alignedstandardized test. New YorkState has now put plans to use thePARCC on hold.

This year more than 530 Chica-go public schools have refused thePARCC.

This is our chance to restore

control of public education backto the local school districts. Evi-dence-based research demon-strates that high-stakes standard-ized testing is not in the best in-terests of all our children. Con-sider refusing the PARCC. Callyour state and congressional rep-resentatives to ask their positionson high-stakes standardized test.

Vote to censurea misguided decisionThe commissioners decision

to censure Bob Grady for com-ments made at the Sept. 16, 2014,Zoning Board meeting, taken by a2-1 vote with Mayor Kasko andCommissioner Moscatelli infavor, was a misguided and un-precedented one. It appears thatthe Haddonfield Commission hasnot passed such a resolution inthe entire history of our town.Borough Solicitor Iavicoli wasnot aware of any such resolutionbeing passed by any governing

body in the county. Former May-ors Colombi and Tarditi, formerCommissioner Reisner and I allpublicly opposed the resolution.

Let us look first at the resolu-tion the two commissioners votedfor and the conduct that they be-lieved justified this extraordinarystep. The resolution, drafted by

Mayor Kasko, suggests that Mr.Grady used language that washostile, rude, inflammatory, in-sulting, prejudiced, intemperateor insensitive during the Sep-tember meeting. Pretty seriousstuff. But what were these inap-propriate and insensitive re-marks? One need only listen tothe recording of the meeting tofind out. In the context of a dis-cussion about his concerns thatcertain commissioners were tak-ing improper actions in an at-tempt to criticize and pressurethe Zoning Board for a decision ithad made that was opposed by asmall, but vocal neighborhoodgroup, Mr. Grady suggested thatthe two commissioners were ca-pitulating to the demands of thewackos from Maple Avenue.Thats it. So Mr. Gradys com-ments were not so much critical

of the citizens, but rather of thecommissioners failure to respectand support the entirely lawfuldecision of a citizen board. It isreadily apparent that it was actu-

ally for this that Mr. Grady wascensured.

Mr. Gradys other censurableoffense, according to the resolu-tion, was that he made inappro-priate and insensitive remarksabout a sitting member of theBoard of Commissioners. Andwhat were these terrible thingshe said? He mispronounced Com-missioner Moscatellis name.Nothing more. He mispro-nounced his name. How arrogantand self-important must a sittingmember of the Board of Commis-sioners have become to use hispower in that office to publiclycensure and humiliate a citizenvolunteer for mispronouncing hisname?

Tellingly, in his comments ex-plaining why he was voting forthe resolution of censure, Com-missioner Moscatelli said that hewas convinced Mr. Grady did not

intend any sort of ethnic slur.Rather, he said that his concernwas that Mr. Grady was election-eering in his comments, specifi-cally referring to Mr. Gradys

comments regarding the commis-sioners attempts to disciplinecertain Zoning Board members.In fact, certain commissionershad advocated demoting a Zon-ing Board member because of hisactions on the board. Mr. Gradywas justifiably outraged aboutsuch actions by commissionersand said so. And CommissionerMoscatellis reference to elec-tioneering makes clear that hisreal objection was to Mr. Gradyscriticism of these actions by thecommissioners.

The resolution sends a destruc-tive message to the citizen volun-teers who serve on our variousboards and committees. There isno glory in these positions andoften a great deal of angst. Themembers are often called upon tomake difficult decisions that are

because the material is so de-manding physically, vocally andtheatrically. We have an excep-tional cast with many standoutperformers, and this productiongives our program the opportuni-ty to highlight a wide range of tal-ents. Anything Goes is one of myfavorite musicals of all time, Di-rector Matthew DiDonato said.

Anything Goes by ColePorter is set in 1932 aboard theS.S. American, sailing across theAtlantic Ocean from America toEngland. Evangelist turnednightclub singer Reno Sweeney,played by senior Grace Grimes, isaboard the ship with her friendBilly Crocker, played by seniorPatrick Ransole OMalley, whohas stowed away to chase after hislove, Hope Harcourt, played bysenior Claire Gautier; but Hope isengaged to the wealthy English-man Lord Evelyn Oakleigh,

played by Cuinlan Pedretti. Alsoon board the ocean liner are Pub-lic Enemy No. 13 Moonface Mar-tin, played by junior Sean Wilkin-son, and his sidekick Erma,played by senior Allison Sparrow.With the help of outrageous dis-guises and a tap-dancing chorus,Reno and Moonface join forces tohelp Billy win Hopes heart.

Its an upbeat, feel-good showwith some fun characters, O-Malley said. Its filled with hugegroup numbers, and almost everyscene has a song and dance.

The HMHS production ofAnything Goes promises to beone of its biggest productions todate. They have a cast of 49 stu-dents, an elaborate set and extrav-agant song and dance numbers,tap being at the forefront.

I would say that the most diffi-cult thing about this show is thatevery aspect of the production ishuge. What I mean by this is thatthe show requires an elaborate

set and lighting design, show-stopping dance numbers, high-en-ergy songs and romantic ballads,and top-notch comedic acting.Putting this all together in just 10weeks with a cast and crew of 75

seems like a daunting task, buteverything is falling into place,DiDonato said.

I think it is way bigger thananything I have seen in Haddon-field. I think it is a lot of fun,

Sparrow said.DiDonato doesnt have a fa-

vorite part, but if he had tochoose, he said he loves the tap-dancing. Members of the castfound the dancing to be one of the

more difficult parts, but once theygot it, it became fun and some oftheir favorite parts, other thanspending time with their theaterfamily, of course.

I like the dancing. Its really

challenging, and the whole casthas had to work really hard tomake it work together and looklike its supposed to. And I thinkeveryone has done a good job. Itsbeen fun to see the progress,

Sparrow said.Mr. DiDonato and Ms. Davis

have really taught us how to tapand make it fun. Its been really,really awesome, said DanaSchwartz, who plays Mrs. Evan-

geline Harcourt, Hopes mother.Going into this production,

we only had five students whotook tap classes regularly, so youwill see how far the cast hascome, DiDonato said.

The directors and the coacheswe have here are phenomenal.This show would not be what it is

without them leading us,Grimes said.

The director as well as mem-bers of the cast would like the au-dience to be happy and enter-tained during the performanceand leave the theater dancing andwanting to come back for more.

The bottom line is that the au-dience should expect to be enter-tained. The first act ends with thetitle song in which all 49 membersof the cast are on stage tappingtheir hearts out. The energy is sohigh, and I think the audiencewill be amazed. It will be unlikeanything that has ever been onstage at HMHS, DiDonato said.Our greatest hope is that audi-ence members will leave the the-ater happier than when they en-tered.

I want the audience to be im-pressed. I hope they can see thatwe are a high school cast, but thatwe perform at a collegiate level. Iwant them to want to come see it

twice; Id like to see the audiencegrow each night, Grimes said.

Members of the cast wouldlove everyone in Haddonfield tosee the show. Not only does thispromise to be a fun show for allages, but it also will be one ofHMHS biggest productions yet.

Its definitely going to be oneof HMHS standout shows in thepast couple of years, Schwartzsaid.

Its going to be spectacularand nothing like Haddonfield hasever seen before, Sparrow said.

We are always so grateful forthe support of the community,and we are proud to once againgive the members of our commu-nity a performance they will notwant to miss, DiDonato said.

HMHS Anything Goes willbe presented on March 6, 7, 13 and14 at 7:30 p.m. in the high schoolauditorium with a 2 p.m. matineeon Sunday, March 8. Tickets forevening performances are $10.

The matinee price is $7 or $25 fora group of four. Tickets can bepurchased at the door or at thehigh school any time. The seniorcitizen preview is March 4 at 4p.m. and is free admittance.

opposed in the most emotionalterms by friends and neighbors.They render a great service to usall. The boards are often requiredby law or the facts to make deci-sions that people dont like, andthe opponents of those decisionsare sometimes insulting and abu-sive. The last thing that the com-missioners should do is to sendthe message, as their action heredoes, that if you make a tough de-cision and there is vocal opposi-tion, we will fold like cheap suits.Instead, the message should beweve got your back. We expectour commissioners to be leaders,to make tough, honest calls forthe good of the town. And to sup-port the people they appoint toboards rather than curryingfavor with vocal pressure groups.If in the heat of the moment, a

poor choice of words is made by aboard member, as it was here, afrank and personal discussion isappropriate. A public shaming toget the commissioners off the

hook is not.Ed Borden

Writer commendscensure decision

Im writing to commend Com-missioners Kasko and Moscatelliin their vote to censure Mr.Robert Grady. They did a job thatno one wants to do, but as the gov-erning body of our town, wereforced to do it, because of Mr.Gradys insulting actions. I dontthink there should be any roomfor inappropriate commentsmade by anyone serving on bor-ough boards/commissions. Namecalling, the deliberate mispro-nunciation of someones name,threats to do everything in theirown power to make sure they arenot re-elected, are not just slip ofthe tongue comments. Just as in

our school system, there is zerotolerance for bullying. The guide-lines of conduct that board mem-bers read and sign before they areappointed to the board/commis-

sion should be followed. Therehas to be consequences for theiractions. Yes, board membersshould be held to a higher stan-dard than residents. If we asadults cant treat each other withcivility, what examples are weshowing/teaching our children?

In my opinion, the travestywould have been for our leadersto sit back and allow Mr. Gradyscomments to go unnoticed, andtaken no action.

This sends a clear message toeveryone that these actions areunacceptable and will not be tol-erated. How sad that Mr. Gradyfeels that he should be the onewho receives an apology, insteadof giving one. We may all not likeeach other, but there has to besome measure of respect ashuman beings.

swimmers, who have repeatedlygone throughout the school to getothers to join as well as to encour-age the other guys to elevate theirtraining. You can have severalfast swimmers, but if they donthave the depth year after year, itwont lead to scoring, Querubinsaid.

Although the team didnt havea specific strategy to win, Queru-bin said there really isnt anytrick to winning. There is just thepreparation during the regularseason and training when theycan that can lead to victory. Also,accepting the challenge of thesport and knowing that you canonly get better is key. The boysfinished the regular season 7-3,but ultimately it was the champi-onship that really counts.

Its just accepting the chal-lenges. When you competeagainst these bigger or betterteams, you need to learn from it.

You need to ask: what could I dobetter? What do I need to keeptraining on? Every team needs togo through that, Querubin said.

At the beginning of the season,Querubin said he needs to instillcompetitiveness in the swimmersas well as know they need to beconfident, but not overly so.

You need to think, I like ourchances. That helps. You need toimpose that on the swimmers, noquestions or negative thoughts.You want them to be confident,

but not over-confident. You needto have the mentality that you can

do very good things and thinkabout what you could accom-plish, Querubin said.

Some of the highlights in win-

ning the state final againstTenafly High School 92-78 in-clude: Senior Michael Kurtz win-ning two individual events withthe 50 freestyle with a time of21.90 and the 100 freestyle at 48.20,and adding a state qualifyingtime in the 100 free. The otherwinning events were the 200 med-ley relay at 1:41.08 with a team ofKurtz, junior Tim Proctor, seniorPeter Kurtz and junior Brian Mc-Grath, and the 200 free relay at1:30.30 with the team of Peter,Michael, freshman Conor Skellyand junior Jared MacNeill.

Junior Brendan Finnegan alsohad a significant impact with sea-son-best times in the 100 butterflyat 54.84 and 100 breaststroke at1:03.19, finishing second in bothevents. He also finished the sea-son with the fastest times in thoseevents on the team. Finnegan wasscheduled to compete in the 200free and 100 fly events at the indi-vidual championships last week-

end at GCIT. Junior Jared Mac-Neill has been a key contributorall season, swimming thefreestyle events. He has thefastest 200 and 500 free times onthe team where he finished sec-ond in the 200 at the champi-onship.

When the team won the group,Querubin said there was a greatcelebration and huge relief aswell.

After taking pictures at thepool with their trophy, the boys

were celebrated back in Haddon-field after their win by being es-

corted behind the fire engineswith their bus full of champions.

The school bus follows the firetrucks through town, its pretty

neat. Its a nice celebration aspart of the town to the winningteam.

They get into it, and its a coolway for parents, and anyone whois out that time of night, to seethem and be recognized. Wevebeen fortunate, in this smalltown, Querubin said.

The boys swimming coach felthaving been at the competitionand having the opportunity tocompete for the state champi-onship has been a very good influ-ence on the underclassmen. Theywill want to maintain that hard-working and winning attitudeand spirit.

If youve been there, youregoing to want to go back. It helpsto promote that you have to havethe effort, training and to workhard because there is certainly noguarantee of winning, Querubinsaid.
