‘Happy Holidays’ from Harrington Middle School

By MIKE MONOSTRAThe Sun

Amid a sea of vibrant displayscommonly seen during the holi-day season is a hidden treasure

residing in a small,white building atthe corner of Moorestown-Mt.Laurel andHainesport-Mt.Laurel roads.

FarmersHall, a his-toric build-ing con-structedin 1866,opensitsdoorsto the

Mt.

Laurel community each Decem-ber for its annual Holiday OpenHouse.

According to historical societypresident Fran Daily, the openhouse has been a great way to in-vite the community to the hall.

“We’ve been doing this eventfor at least the past 10 years,” shesaid.

The historical society partnerswith the Mt. Laurel Garden Clubfor this event each year. One of the garden club’s holiday projectsis the decoration of open housesacross the Mt. Laurel area, in-cluding at Farmers Hall, the AlicePaul Institute and SmithvilleMansion in Mt. Holly.

A different theme is presentedat each year’s open house. Thisyear’s theme is trees, with decora-tive pines of various sizes set up

all around the first and secondfloor of the house. There are alsoother holiday-themed items.

Daily said each year’s themecomplements the character of Farmers Hall. There are noflashy lights or extravagant dec-orations filling the hall. Instead,the style remains classic andblends well with the surround-

Mt. Laurel Council wishes EveshamTownship the best, but it still isn’t interest-ed in moving forward with an offer fromEvesham to promote its township-ownedIndian Spring Country Club golf course onthe Mt. Laurel township website.

If accepted, Mt. Laurel residents, andother participating townships, would re-ceive a $5 discount on rounds of golf at In-dian Spring in exchange for promotionfrom those participating townships ontheir websites, social media outlets and

township events.Evesham Township Council recently

passed the resolution officially setting upthe offer, referred to as the “MunicipalPartner’s Program,” and townships suchas Tabernacle and Maple Shade have al-

ready agreed to the deal, according to Eve-

sham Township Manager Tom Czerniecki.Deputy Mayor Irwin Edelson was invit-ed to a meeting to discuss the deal severalmonths ago, and brought the offer to coun-cil where it was discussed and ultimatelydecided against.

Reasons for not moving forward withthe deal included concerns that no busi-ness, Mt. Laurel based or otherwise, is pro-moted on the township website, and wor-ries that Mt. Laurel’s own golf courses atRamblewood Country Club would losebusiness.

“We did not choose to move forward,”

Edelson said. “As a council, we felt that weshould really sponsor and take care of Mt.Laurel businesses. It wouldn’t be fair toRamblewood if we put Indian Spring onour website. You can call it ‘take care of your own.’”

Councilman Jim Keenan echoed Edel-

son’s sentiments, and said the decision topromote one business over another on thetownship website raised too many ques-tions.

“The question is how do you handle thaton the website?” Keenan said. “We wereconcerned if you do one, what about anoth-er?”

Upon adoption of the Municipal Part-ner’s Program, Evesham Mayor RandyBrown said he disagreed with Mt. Laurel’sdecision to not participate, and believedMt. Laurel should be promoting Ramble-wood and Indian Spring.

“If I can get some sort of bait or hook orlure to get me to a municipal course or pub-lic course that I haven’t been at before, whynot go?” Brown asked. “I don’t want some-

As the holiday season begins to

wind to a close, we want to

take this opportunity to thank

everyone who stepped up to help those

in need. This time of year usually

brings out the best in people. Judging

from the number of announcements

we received from our readers regard-

ing donation drives, it looks like this

year was no exception.

Two years ago, Hurricane Sandy hit

our state, and there was an immediate

need for support, in the form of food,

clothing, supplies and shelter. While

there was no one major event like that

this year, and while our economy is im-

proving overall, there is still a major

need for help in our state, especially for

food.

The holiday season always results in

an uptick in donations, but the Com-

munity Food Bank of New Jersey says

what it’s receiving is still far short of

what it needs. The reason? A high cost

of living in our state coupled with

large-scale job loss in places such as

Atlantic City.

Based on the number of holiday

drives we published this year, though,

local organizations are doing their best

to help fill this need, and others.

Over the past few weeks, we have

had the pleasure of publishing stories

about efforts to lend a hand. Like al-

ways, there were the usual Toys for

Tots drives and more. We don’t keep a

formal count of the number of holiday

fundraising event stories we publish

from year to year, but it certainly

seemed that, in 2014, there were many.

So, we thank those individuals and

groups who organized these efforts.

And, on behalf of them, we also thank

everyone who picked up an extra can

of non-perishable food, an additional

bag of dog food, one more toy and

more. To all of those who reached a lit-

tle deeper into their wallets this year to

help out, your generosity truly made a

difference.

We wish everyone a happy holiday

season and hope for a wonderful 2015.

in our opinion

Happy holidays! A ‘thank you’ to everyone w ho he lped to brighten the season for those in need

Stepping up

Thank you to everyone who lent a helpinghand to those in need this holiday season.But giving shouldn’t stop just because theholidays are almost over. Tell us aboutyour donation drive throughout the year,and we’ll share it with the rest of thecommunity.

it and doing the dances.”Maddie has gotten the opportu-

nity to play a variety of roles inthe show. In the past, she hasplayed a clown, sugar plum assis-tant, angel and party boy. Thisyear, she will perform as a partygirl and snow assistant.

Despite performing a differentpart each year, Maddie doesn’t getnervous. She enjoys performingunder the lights in front of apacked house.

“I may have been a little nerv-ous when I first started, but Idon’t think I would be nervous(now),” she said.

Maddie has been able to fine-tune her dancing skills as part of the Mei Mei dancers, a dancetroupe for girls who were adoptedfrom China. The McCann family

adopted Maddie as a baby.“It’s kind of like folk dancing,”

said Maddie’s mom, Susan. “All of the songs have different things

happening.”

Susan said Maddie joined thedance troupe a few years ago. Thegroup has given Maddie the abili-ty to be in touch with her roots.

“She sings about Chinese cul-ture, she took Mandarin lessons,”Susan said. “We celebrate Chi-nese holidays with this group. Wealways knew she was a dancer.”

Susan believes Maddie’s expe-rience in performing has some-thing to do with her courage.However, she also believes Mad-

die has a confidence unlike whatmany others have.“I think it’s amazing because

she really doesn’t get very nerv-ous,” Susan said. “A lot of peopleand adults still get jitters beforeshe goes on. She has a confidenceabout it that amazes me.”

Maddie’s love of dancing ledher to eventually drop her otheractivities. She describes going toshows such as “The Nutcracker”when she was 3 years old and howmuch she enjoyed watching

them.“It was really cool because I

was watching what these olderkids did while I was in the audi-

ence,” she said.

In addition to dancing, Maddieenjoys art and tapping into thecreative side. She participates inthe STEP art program at HartfordSchool and likes to work on littleprojects when she has free time.

Maddie’s favorite type of art ismaking items out of other mate-rials.

“I went to a party recently andI found a bunch of things and wasable to make a coaster out of it,”she said.

“She likes to make projects outof things that she finds,” Susansaid. “She goes to camp all sum-mer, and she loves making thingsout of other things.”

Don’t expect Maddie to leavethe world of dancing for abstractart, however. She plans to keepdancing well into her high schoolyears.

Maddie can be seen in “TheNutcracker” on Dec. 19 at 7:30p.m., Dec. 20 at 1 and 4:30 p.m. andDec. 21 at 2:30 p.m. at Voorhees

Reading, Writing and ArithmeticBy Carlo B. Melini, MD FAAP

Website - www.CarloBMeliniMD.com

Students with reading problems make up at lease 80% of learning differences. They come under the diagnosis of Dyslexia.This is a broad category of reading deficits. The most common is an inability to decode words. That is to say, an inability to

associate the letter with the sound. So if I write the letters BA and then say BAA, the visual part of the brain sees the letters andthe phonemic bank stores the sound, so that the next time one sees BA the sound BAA automatically comes up. In dyslexics,

there is no connection between what one sees and hears. This seminal research done at Yale Child Study Center utilizing func-tional MRIs clearly demonstrates the difference in the anatomy of the dyslexic vs. the nondyslexic brain. Early on, childrenhave difficulty learning the alphabet s ong; confuse letters that look the same such as b, d, w, m, u, n, etc. Actually dyslexicstudents read the large words better than the small words, since the s mall words often look alike, while the large words do not.

So the confusion with saw and was, in and on, etc. Dyslexic students read by memorizing the whole word configuration. Thisis of course a very inefficient way to read; thus their limited word understanding in reading. Students who are struggling withreading in the early grades should be as sessed for dyslexia, since there are now a number of na tional reading programs available

for them, including Wilson, Orton Gillingham, Linda Mood, etc. Some students with dyslexia can decode fine but have difficulty comprehending what they read. This is related to language processing. They may hear a rhyming sound. For instance, if onesays “get me the broom,” it may be heard as “get to your room.” Students with reading comprehension issues should read the

questions first,, then read the material with a high lighter, underlining and writing in the margin to help with remembering.

Students with writing problems make up about 10% of learning differences. They come under the diagnosis of Dysgraphia.The category includes a number of subtypes. Some writing problems are related to fine motor deficits; the inability to inhibitand release small muscles in the fingers. They tend to hold a pencil very awkwardly. Others have difficulty with word retrievingand can’t come up with the words they want to write. They can say them fine but when writing develop a block. These students

should use a mechanical pencil which gives more traction when writing. Programs like Dragon are helpful software that transferthe spoken word to the page via a computer. Help from occupational therapists with programs like “Writing Without Tears”is often recommended.

Students with mathematics problems make up about 10% of learning differences. They come under the diagnosis of Dyscalculia. These students have difficulty knowing that 9 is 3 more than 6. They may also have trouble with calculating and

with concepts. Later, difficulty with abstract issues like resistance in physics is seen. Some students are adept in math in the

early grades but have much difficulty with higher ordered math, i.e. algebra, trigonometry, calculus. Teachers make a big dif-ference in math. A left brain mathematician is the best teacher. A right brain mathematician makes a good researcher but

often not a good teacher. Math tutors are helpful early on if dyscalculia is diagnosed.

(Now lets clasp our hands. Which thumb is on top? If your left is on top you are a left brained person; while those with

the right thumb on top are right brained. Lefties teach! Righties research!).

The Sun

“Right now if a home is pricedright, it will sell,” Alyce Klaus,broker/sales representative withWeichert Realtors Moorestown,said.

As the real estate market con-tinues its slow recovery, morehouses are popping up for salearound the region. According toTrend MLS, for the first half of 2014, the average settled salesprice was $240,232 for BurlingtonCounty and $194,213 in CamdenCounty.

“Annually, it is normal to expe-rience a relatively strong wave of buyers prior to Thanksgiving andChristmas/Hanukkah,” AngelaBarnshaw, CEO of Haddonfieldreal estate agency Agent06, said.“The reality of real estate is thatlife motivates people to buy orsell, not weather. Life is happen-ing at all times, and as we allknow, life knows no season!”

Barnshaw – like other area Re-altors – expects a healthy marketthrough the end of the year.

“The best folks can control it,they will press their efforts toclose before major holidays,”Barnshaw said, “hence our expec-tations for the coming month.”

Once someone decides to selltheir home, it’s time to find a realestate professional.

“Obviously you want to meetwith a Realtor,” Dave Lewis, bro-ker/owner of B.T. Edgar and Son

Realtors in Moorestown, said,“and you want to get a realisticasking price.”

The real estateprofessional’s role

“I’m an impartial third party,”Anne E. Koons, sales associatewith Berkshire Hathaway Home-Services Fox & Roach, Realtors,in Cherry Hill, said. “So when weget an offer, I know what the

comps are, I know what the houseshould sell for. The seller is some-times too emotionally attached.You have to treat it like a businesstransaction and not an emotionaltransaction.”

Koons recommends meeting

with two or three real estate pro-fessionals before choosing whomto use.

The initial consultation will de-termine the home’s value intoday’s market.

“They can price it two ways,”Klaus said. “They can make rec-ommendations for staging, house-keeping, gardening – where thehouse can show better. If it showsbetter, it will sell quicker. Or theycan price it exactly how they seeit.”

The value range is going to de-pend on comparable sales andprice trending from the agent. De-pending on that price, a prospec-tive seller can then determine if it is worth it to sell, or if theyshould stay.

The importance of a Realtor isdifficult to encapsulate, but it’sclear many people recognize thevalue. In an annual survey of re-cent home sellers by the NationalAssociation of Realtors, 91 per-

cent of home sellers used a realestate agent to sell their home.

“The value of a Realtor – that isthe crux of everything,” Barn-shaw said. “How learned are you?How academic are you approach-ing the profession? To be able tosay, not only have I sold this manyhomes or done this for this manyyears, but I can show you marketdata. I can help you understandas a homeowner or a buyer howthis market data works for you oragainst you. That’s how we nego-

tiate.”

NegotiatingKoons says sellers should con-

sider any offer.“I always tell my seller, ‘Let’s

counter with something.’ It sendsthe message you’re willing to ne-gotiate,” Koons said, adding sell-ers shouldn’t be offended with alow offer. “One of two things hap-pen (with a counter offer) – theyeither go away, or they come up.”

Klaus agreed that every offershould count.“Often, I find a seller becomes

insulted by a low bid. Respect it asan opening bid and respond to it,”she said. “People will initially

offer what they want to pay, notwhat they truly feel it’s worth.”

As far as selling price versuslisted price, Koons said it’s oftenwithin 5 percent.

“As long as the seller listens tothe comps in the area, listens tothe Realtor about the comps anddoesn’t list for more than 5 per-cent over what the comps have,then it’s a pretty close sellingprice,” she explained.

Sometimes, negotiating can goback and forth several times. Inother cases, it’s one or two offersbefore an agreement is reached. Areal estate professional will guidesellers every step of the way. Infact, according to a National As-sociation of Realtors profile, buy-ers ranked negotiating as one of

the most important services theiragent provided, second only tofinding the right property.

TimelineAfter a house is sold, the

amount of time before the sellermoves out and buyer moves in isnegotiable. The average is 60days, Lewis said.

For an estate sale, the house isvacant, so a seller doesn’t need tomove out and a buyer can moveright in.

“Another scenario is, ‘I’m sell-ing my house, you’re going to buymy house and I’m going to buythe Smiths’ house.’ We all try tohave the same settlement date,”Lewis said. “Nine times out of 10,it works out fine.”

Some sellers, Lewis explained,make a contingent on the sale of their home for finding suitablehousing.

“In other words, you don’t haveto sell to a buyer who gives you

your price because you haven’tfound another house,” he ex-plained. “Most of the time youhave three or four houses and

Staging: What’s the value?By KRISTEN DOWD

The Sun

You’re ready to sell, butyou’re not sure if your home islooking its best. Would movingfurniture around help empha-

size the size of a room? Shouldthose family portraits comedown? What about the crayonmasterpieces plastered all overthe fridge?

These are the types of deci-sions a stager can help with. Aprofessional stager will comeinto your home and prepare itfor the real estate market,cleaning up, clearing out and,in some cases, bringing furni-ture and accessories into thehome to showcase it best.

But what’s the value of stag-ing a home, and is this addedexpense necessary?

Agent06 is a boutique real es-tate agency in downtown Had-donfield. For CEO AngelaBarnshaw, staging a buyer’shome is just part of the pack-age.

“Every day when you driveout of your driveway, you’regoing to feel like your house isthe best house on the market,”

Barnshaw said with a smile.“We have a unique systemcalled the ‘Six Steps to Sold.’”

It’s a concierge servicespackage that caters to each

client, and part of that packageincludes complimentary stag-ing and professional photogra-phy.

“Selling your house is al-ways a painful process. It’s nofun. No one wants to do it. We

try to take some of that painaway,” Barnshaw said.

More than anything, Barn-shaw said, is helping the home-owner detach.

“When we step into that stag-ing process, it does help theseller detach. At the same time,it’s also helping a buyer – anybuyer – attach,” she explained.

According to some area Real-tors, more important than stag-ing is simply decluttering anddepersonalizing a home.

“Get rid of anything you’renot taking with you,” Anne E.Koons, sales associate withBerkshire Hathaway HomeSer-vices Fox & Roach, Realtors, inCherry Hill, said. “Freshen uppaint-wise. And also make surethe outside of your house is ingood shape.”

Alyce Klaus, broker/salesrepresentative with WeichertRealtors Moorestown, saidcleanliness is more important

than staging.“In some cases, we may rec-ommend a professional stager

to come in, but there’s an expenseto that,” Klaus said. “In mostcases we want to work in thehomeowner’s budget, work withwhat they have. We recognize thatwe have more vision and moreimagination than the averageconsumer.

“You’re showing the rose andbloom,” Klaus said. “People want

to see light and they want to seeclean. There’s no substitute forsparkle.”

Klaus said there’s also no sub-stitute for a property that smellsfresh. The smell of air freshenersor candles suggests a hidden odor,but there are some smells thatcould enhance a seller’s property.

“When you talk about sensoryperception when you’re touring aproperty – baking bread or cook-ies – it takes you to a comfortabletime. It makes you feel at home,”

Klaus said.As far as big investments, the

best areas to consider are kitchenand bathrooms.

“If you want top dollar for yourhouse, you better make sure yourkitchen and your bathrooms areup-to-date,” Koons said, addingthat the roof, heating and air con-ditioning, hot water heater andappliances are other top areas of concern.

“Most young buyers today, allthey want to do is buy the house,walk in and hang up theirclothes,” she continued. “Theydon’t really want to do any work.”

Dave Lewis, broker/owner of B.T. Edgar and Son Realtors in

Moorestown, said in his experi-ence, staging isn’t usually neededin the local market.

“What I find most of the time,especially in Haddonfield,Moorestown, Medford – they’renice houses. They’re mid-level totop-management-type folks. Thehigher percentage of those folksdo not have messy houses,” Lewissaid. “You don’t really spend a lotof time staging it.”

For the best showing, Lewissuggests turning on all the lights,

pulling back curtains and makingthe house as bright as possible.

“And bake a pie,” he added witha laugh.

think, ‘Yeah, I could move intothese houses.’ So when you sellyour house, hopefully those hous-es are still there.”

The timeline for selling a homeis a balancing act – one withwhich real estate professionalscan help.

“Having a good real estateagent who represents you on bothsides, if you can, is a marvelousthing,” Klaus said. “It keeps us upat night instead of the consumer.”
