Champs
once
again

Thanksgiving for the less fortunate

After an undefeated
season, Eastern field
hockey wins fourth
straight Tournament
of Champions
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun

ZANE CLARK/The Sun

Several schools in Voorhees work in different ways to help others during the Thanksgiving holiday, including ET Hamilton Elementary
with its annual Thanksgiving food drive, which culminated with a food packing night on Nov. 23. The food, packed by students and their
families at ET Hamilton, provided 19 Thanksgiving dinners for local families through the Building Bridges Family Success Center in
Clementon and for several families at the school itself. For more photos, please see page 19.

This years Tournament of

Champions was different than
any Eastern Regional High
School field hockey had experienced before.
The Vikings entered the tournament having won 17 consecutive Group IV state championships, 73 consecutive games
and having gone unbeaten in 130
consecutive games.
However, this year, seeding for
the Tournament of Champions in
field hockey was done with power
points. Because of this, Eastern
was the No. 4 seed in the tournament and would have to win three
games, instead of two as in years

Easterns after-school Academic

Support Program garners
high praise from teachers
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
Students at Eastern Regional
High School who need extra help
understanding a difficult concept
in a class or preparing for a test
can always find assistance with
Easterns Academic Support Program.
Held after school on days when
late buses are available, the program attracts about 30 students a
day from all academic levels to
spend time with teachers and get
individualized help in subjects
such as math, biology, chemistry,
English, social studies, physics
and world languages.
At the most recent meeting of
the Eastern Camden County Regional School District Board of
Education, teachers from the program gave an overview of the
program's success.

Program coordinator and social

studies teacher Maryann Walker
said for the past six or seven years,
the program has grown into almost its own community, and has
earned positive reviews from
many at the school.
Walker read testimonials from
several staff members, including
guidance counselor Sheri Lattimer who wrote she always encourages students to use the supports offered by the program, and
English teacher Christine Leason
who wrote it was important for
students to have the opportunity
to conduct one-on-one conferences.
Seeing the same student
transform from confused to confident feeling 100 percent better
about their academic abilities is
priceless, Leasons letter stated.

in our opinion

Police provide online protection

All departments should help online buyers and sellers with safe zones
s the holiday shopping season
is now officially underway, police departments across the
country are on high alert. Thats because, at this time of year, unfortunately, criminals are everywhere looking to take advantage of unassuming
shoppers who are just trying to enjoy
the season.
The criminals go out to malls, downtown shopping areas and other retail
hotspots just like the rest of us but
they, instead, are after the goods were
buying, and the cash and cards that
were carrying.
Its scary. And its sad. But its a reality of the world in which we live.
With online shopping as prevalent
as it is, and especially with peer-topeer sites such as Craigslist so com-

Your thoughts
What are your thoughts on police
departments use of safe zones for
peer-to-peer transactions? Share your
thoughts through a letter to the editor.

monplace, were glad to see that local

police departments are stepping in to
help the honest shoppers as best they
can.
Recently, the Cherry Hill and
Voorhees police departments announced a program available to the
residents of its town. The department
is providing two safe zones one
outside in the parking lot, and one inside the lobby where people can conduct legal peer-to-peer transactions.
Each location is equipped with security cameras that will record all activi-

ty in the zones, 24 hours a day, seven

days a week.
The Cherry Hill and Voorhees programs are timely, of course, with these
types of transactions becoming more
popular at this time of year. Neighboring Evesham Township released a
similar program of its own in April.
Police departments play a huge role
in making people feel safe. Their job is
not just to pull drivers over and arrest
criminals.
We couldnt be happier about the
safe zones program in Cherry Hill
and Evesham, and we urge police departments in other towns to offer similar programs. If other towns do offer
the safe zones program, please remind your residents of it, and urge
them to use it.

Police initiatives aim to increase public safety

The Voorhees Township Police Department has two new initiatives to increase
public safety for our residents. We now
have a Safe Exchange Zone at our police
headquarters and a NextDoor application
is now live.
The Safe Exchange Zone is designed to
help protect our residents as robberies,
thefts and scams become more prevalent
with online transaction sites such as
Craigslist. The Safe Exchange Zone is set
up in the parking lot in front of the police
building located at 1180 White Horse Road.
The lighting in the area has been upgraded
and is monitored 24 hours a day by a stateof-the-art camera surveillance system. If a
meeting with a stranger is arranged to conduct an online transaction, the Safe Exchange Zone is now available for your
peace of mind. Signs are posted stating the
area is under 24-hour surveillance by our
police. Municipal employees are not available for legal advice or allowed to settle dis-

putes between parties involved in

transactions occurring at the police
station. Transactions
involving
weapons, drugs or
drug paraphernalia are barred from
the Safe Exchange
Zone.
NextDoor is an
application that allows residents to
sign up to share
Michael
information conMignogna
cerning
their
neighborhood via MAYORS MESSAGE
the Internet, similar to a community bulletin board. Neighbors can post
things such as parties, items for sale, lost
or found animals, helping neighbors in

need, etc. Through a privacy filter, the police will monitor topics being discussed on
NextDoor. Our police cannot view the actual conversations between residents, but
will see the topics and can respond if a
topic is police-related, such as crimes,
home security, suspicious activity or
speeding. Our police can reach out to the
parties and get involved if requested. Residents can also contact our police department directly through this site. The site is
being equated to The Neighborhood
Watch of the future. You can sign up at
the free site at www.nextdoor.com.
The Lions Club will host Breakfast
with Santa on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 8 a.m.
to 11 a.m. at the Lions Lake Park Banquet
Facility, 101 Dutchtown Road, Voorhees.
Santa moves from table to table to visit
with the children so bring your camera.

letter to the editor

Writer: Solar panels
arent the problem
I am penning this letter on a
day when I read that another nuclear power plant in Salem County is being considered to quench
our insatiable need for energy.
This follows the controversial
proposal to construct a gas
pipeline through the Pinelands to
further meet our energy demands.
Now, I read resident Ron
Richards letter to the editor chastising Voorhees Township for approving "dangerous commercial
development" by approving solar
panel installation on land that
can be used for little else. What

are we to do as a society?
My wife and I had solar panels
installed on our roof this past
year. If only Mr. Richards had
written sooner, I could have avoided this catastrophic decision. Little did we know that these solar
panels are "dangerous polluters"
which jeopardize our grandchildren with "electromagnetic radiation." Further, something should
be done to help consumers avoid
solar company tactics similar to
the lies the "tobacco industry told
us about cigarettes."
I await Mr. Richards next letter. I hope his auto pollution review is written before I make the
mistake of buying another Prius.

From Haddonfield to Newark, hundreds of kids throughout the state of
New Jersey are working hard to
tackle some of the biggest issues
faced in their schools and local communities as part of Destination Imaginations social entrepreneurship
challenge, Project Outreach.
Destination Imagination (DI),
whose headquarters is based in
Cherry Hill, is an educational nonprofit that fosters student creativity

drives to domestic violence awareness to creating mobile apps for social good, more than 4,500 students
worldwide work each year to tackle
an array of real-world challenges.
Youth are not only empowered to
make a positive impact on their communities but also learn how to become creative and critical thinkers,

Parents use BOE meeting to voice

concerns over size of classes
Fourth-grade classes at ET Hamilton Elementary number 26, 27 students
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
Class sizes at ET Hamilton Elementary School were once again
the focus of the public comment
portion of the Voorhees Township Board of Education meeting.
At the boards Nov. 23 meeting,
several parents spoke about what
they categorized as the unacceptably large fourth-grade class
sizes at the school where one
class consists of 26 children and
two classes consist of 27 children
each.
Parent Eliza Comodromos-Langan, who has a fourth-grade student at the school, said tightly
packed classrooms are adversely
affecting the learning experience
of all children, especially in the
classrooms where theres a solo

teacher and no instructional aid.

Kids are distracted and teachers are overwhelmed, all of which
could have been avoided and can
be avoided if class sizes are
capped at a reasonable number,
Comodromos-Langan said.
Comodromos-Langan presented the board with a petition
signed by ET Hamilton parents
that called for several remedies.
Those fixes included adding instructional aides for the current
school year to classrooms where
there are none for English language arts and math teachers, ensuring that for the 2016-2017
school year, ET Hamiltons fifth
grade will consist of four classes
as it does now and, starting in the
2016-2017 school year, implementing a cap on class sizes of roughly
22 children.

Another ET Hamilton parent

with a fourth grader to speak at
the meeting was Alisia Whitcraft,
who said her daughter came
home on the first day of school
complaining that her legs were
pressed against the rooms smart
board because it was so crowded.
Whitcraft said a single teacher
with no aid cant give individual
assistance in a room with 27 students, and she feared middle- and
lower-level learners wont get the
help they need, and the higherlevel learners would be left to

Drop off Toys for Tots at AAA Voorhees office

AAA South Jersey is teaming
with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Foundation
once again this holiday season to
help less fortunate children experience the joy of the holidays.
Through Dec. 18, customers
can drop off new, unwrapped toys
in the toy drive donation bin
prominently placed in the lobby
of all four AAA South Jersey locations.
Once collected, the toys are
taken to local distribution centers
where toys are sorted by age and
gender, wrapped and distributed

to needy children in the area.

We hope that AAA members
and the community will open
their hearts so every child in the
community can enjoy the thrill of
opening a present on Christmas
morning, said Carol Scott, CEO
of AAA South Jersey. We are
thrilled to be a part of the Toys
for Tots program once again, and
work with the Marine Corps Reserve to help make those experiences happen.
Toys for Tots collection locations will be at the AAA offices in

Presents the 28th Annual performance of the Holiday Classic

located at 700 Laurel Oak Road in

Voorhees.
The primary goal of the Toys
for Tots program is to deliver,
through a new toy at Christmas, a
message of hope to less fortunate
children that will assist them in
becoming responsible, productive
and patriotic citizens. Since the
inception of Toys for Tots, more
than 400 million toys have been
distributed to more than 188 million needy children.
The Toys for Tots program was
founded in 1947 by U.S. Marine
Corps Maj. William L. Hendricks,
when Hendricks and a group of
Marine reservists in Los Angeles
first collected and distributed
5,000 toys to children. The following year, the Marine Corps Reserve adopted the concept and
made it a national endeavor.
As North Americas largest
motoring and leisure travel organization, AAA provides more
than 54 million members with
travel, insurance, financial and
automotive-related
services.
Since its founding in 1902, the notfor-profit, fully tax-paying AAA
has been a leader and advocate
for the safety and security of all
travelers. AAA clubs can be visited on the Internet at AAA.com.

Melleby thanks teachers for support

MELLEBY
Continued from page 2
The programs other coordinator, science teacher Zabrina
Thompson, said this years program has more than 30 teachers
involved and has helped up to 250
students thus far.
Thompson thanked the board
for its continued support of the
program, which she said has been
invaluable over the past several
years.
Regina Bosworth, a math
teacher involved with the program since its inception, said the
program was especially great for
students in math, which she said
tended to be a heavily populated
subject matter for students looking for assistance.
If their math teacher isnt
available after school for extra
help, they can come and get extra
help from one of the two math
teachers that are there every day,
Bosworth said. We do have two

math teachers as opposed to every

other subject that only has one.
Bosworth also noted that the
National Honor Society tutors are
also involved with the program
every day should math teachers
be busy or have a big group of
students seeking help.
Science teacher Tracey Wojdon-Smith, who has also been
with the program since the beginning, said another benefit is if
students dont understand the
way their teacher explains something in the classroom, different
teachers are involved with the
program to explain things a different way.
Wojdon-Smith said she recently suggested such to even her own
students after she taught a particularly difficult concept and wasnt available after school herself.
Go and see another teacher
who might explain it slightly differently and then they can get it,
Wojdon-Smith said.
Superintendent Harold Melleby Jr. said he wanted to thank all
teachers involved with the pro-

gram for their efforts and commitment, and noted he had observed the popularity of the program firsthand.
Its great that the students take
advantage of this, Melleby said.
Ive been over there after school.
It is packed, and the feedback Ive
received has been very positive.

Camden County celebrated

National Adoption Day
By Freeholder Michelle Gentek
As a mother there is
nothing more moving
than watching a child
embrace their new
family for the first
time. The Freeholder
Board and Office of
the Surrogate have
been connecting appreciative children
with loving families
as part of National Adoption Day for
the last 12 years. Last week we
marked National Adoption Day on
Nov. 20 and 48 beautiful children had
their adoptions finalized to join their
new parents.
The Surrogates office and the Freeholder Board mark the yearly occasion by hosting a full day of adoption
support and awareness activities.
The day began with a luncheon in the
Surrogates Office for the children
and their new families before heading to the courtroom for the formal
legal proceedings.
The day brought together adoptive
parents, the Surrogates Court staff,
adoption professionals, judges and attorneys to celebrate and honor the
families who are finalizing their final
step in creating and building a family.
I congratulate the staff of the Surrogate Office for the important work
they do in matching a child with loving parents inside a stable home.
This is done not just on National
Adoption Day but throughout the
year as they help adoptive parents
welcome new additions to their families.
Camden is consistently among the
counties in New Jersey that finalize
the highest number of adoptions per
year. These adoptions represent the
full spectrum of cases facilitated by
the Surrogates Court throughout the
year, including domestic and international adoptions as well as adoptions
facilitated through private agencies
and the New Jersey State Depart-

ment of Children and

Families.
The Camden County
Surrogates Court
also finalizes the
largest number of international, or Hague
Adoption Convention,
cases in the state each
year. The Hague
Adoption Convention
established international standards
of practices for inter-country adoptions that have been followed in the
United States since 2008.
Recent figures indicate that over two
percent of all U.S. children are
adopted and that about 60 percent of
Americans know someone who has
been adopted or has adopted. Informational expos and programs such as
those hosted by the Camden County
Surrogates Court are instrumental
in placing children in a stable home.
Adoption Day is a national initiative
to raise awareness of the more than
100,000 children in foster care waiting
to find permanent, loving families.
This annual event has made the
dreams of thousands of children
across our country come true by finalizing the creation of adoptive families and moving children from foster
care to their new homes.
The Surrogate Court acts as the
Deputy Clerk of the Superior Court,
Family Part for adoptions. For more
information on adopting in Camden
County, please contact the Office of
the Surrogate by phone at (856) 2257282, or by email at caustin@camdencounty.com.
If you have any other questions
about Camden County services,
please call me at (856) 225-5466, or

Seniors show teamwork, strong work ethic

past, to win a fourth straight TOC
title.
Despite the extra hurdle, Eastern prevailed. It defeated Shore
Regional, 12-0, Warren Hills, 4-1,
and Oak Knoll, 5-0, in a span of
five days to win the 2015 Tournament of Champions. The Vikings
have seven of the nine Tournament of Champions titles since it
began for field hockey in 2006.
Head coach Danyle Heilig said
being seeded fourth in the tournament despite being ranked No. 1
in the MaxFieldHockey.com national ranking was motivation for
the Vikings.
We knew that our power
points were not great, but I dont
think we ever envisioned wed be
fourth and playing in a play-in
game, Heilig said. The kids
were really focused on making a
statement. They couldnt have
played any better. We couldnt

have played any stronger.

Having to play in a play-in
game in the TOC was challenging
in many ways. The way the schedule was constructed, Eastern had
to play its Group IV championship game and the three Tournament of Champions games in a
span of seven days, leaving the
team with little time to recover.
Heilig believes that final stretch
was the toughest point of the season.
Emotionally, to get up for four
enormous games and to play an
every other day schedule, thats
very challenging on your body
and your mind, and to play that
level of competition, four games
in seven days, Heilig said.
The Tournament of Champions
was the culmination of a fifth consecutive undefeated season for
Eastern. The Vikings last loss was
in the 2010 Tournament of Champions final, 4-2, against Oak Knoll.
The five seniors on Eastern are
the second straight class that
completed its high school careers
without losing a game. Watching

the seniors come away with one

more championship on Nov. 20
was a proud moment for Heilig.
She said this years senior class
stood out because of its dedication to the team and its work
ethic.
Everything that was ever
done was driven by the program,
Heilig said. They were a group
that never thought of themselves
as individuals, not for a second.
Eastern entered the 2015 season without a key piece from the
previous year. Austyn Cuneo, the
all-time national high school career goal-scoring leader with 328
goals, graduated in June, meaning the Vikings would need to
look for multiple players to pick
up the slack.
Multiple players stepped up to
the plate on offense. Senior Nikki
Santore led the team with 69 goals
and senior Madison Moran
chipped in with 44.
We had a lot of people contributing to scoring, Heilig said.
I think its just a matter of them
filling that need.
Heilig said a number of underclassmen made large strides this
season. She believes juniors
Mackenzie Keegan, Alexis Pettisani and Ashley Thomas were
three of the most improved players this season and will be key
contributors in 2016.
The three of them really
emerged and had really strong
seasons for us, Heilig said.
They were always good hockey
players and earned their starting
positions.
The 2016 season could be a historic one for Eastern. The team
will enter the season 21 games
away from breaking its own national record for longest unbeaten
streak. Eastern set the current
record of 153 games from 1999 to
2005.
However, Heilig reiterated her
team isnt focused on streaks or
milestones. Eastern is going to
treat next season just like every
other and focus on winning another conference, sectional, state
and TOC title.
Our role is to not really focused on (streaks) and to remain
focus on the task at hand, Heilig
said. We cant control the past,
and we cant control the future.

Whitcraft also questioned why

the district didnt work to avoid
the situation when it saw a larger
number of new students registering for the fourth grade during
the summer.
I used to work in Cherry Hill
as an assistant principal in
Cherry Hill they cap their
schools, they send them to other
schools that are less crowded. We
didnt do that. We had a problem
that we knew about and we didnt
fix it and we let it occur.

Parent Jason Ravitz also

agreed that fourth-grade teachers
need more help and shouldnt be
held at fault if students grades
were to drop in classrooms with
so many children.
During this semester, Ravitz
said his daughter specifically told
him she was not getting as much
individual attention as she had in
the past.
These 10-year-old kids they
know the difference, Ravitz said.
Its not the parents. The kids
alerted us to this. The kids want
to learn.
Superintendent Raymond J.
Brosel Jr. thanked all the parents
for voicing their concerns, and
said while the district had no spe-

cific answers that evening, he did

want to set up a meeting with
some of the parents to discuss
what can be done.
We would like to come down
and meet at ET Hamilton School
and discuss what we can do for
this year and plan for next year,
Brosel said.
At a past BOE meeting where
the issue of fourth-grade class
sizes at ET Hamilton was addressed, assistant superintendent
of curriculum and instruction Dr.
Diane Young noted that every
year the district attempts to balance class sizes across the district, but in the past there have
been instances of pockets where
numbers were higher.

South Jersey Ballet Theatre

to perform The Nutcracker
The holidays are right around
the corner, but it just wouldnt be
the holidays without the timeless
ballet The Nutcracker.
South Jersey Ballet Theatre is
no exception in putting on this
classic performance each year.
For years, under the direction
of artistic director Andrea Duffin, SJBT has astonished the public with beautiful dancers and
majestic choreography that captivate minds and hearts.
In December, many young
South Jersey dancers will participate in this classic ballet.
The dancers have been hard at
work rehearsing since their auditions in August.
The female lead roles of The
Nutcracker are performed by
senior company members and
with weekend rehearsals and several dance classes during the
week, these girls are dedicated to
perfecting their parts.
For three dancers, this year
has extra meaning as their time
on stage of this spectacular production comes to an end. For seniors Lena Barone, Guinevere
Pepe and Amanda Valentino, this
will be their final performance.
Barone and Pepe, seniors of
Cherokee High School, have been
participating in The Nutcracker since age 5. It will be their
12th and final year with SJBT.
"Performing in The Nutcracker has been such an amazing experience. I am happy that it has

been such a big part of my life,"

said Pepe, who has been cast as
the Dew Drop Fairy.
Barone, who started as a
mouse, will be playing the lead as
Clara.
I have had experiences and
made memories that will last me
a lifetime, Barone said. I will always look back and see how
much happiness it brought to me
during the holiday season each
year!
For Valentino, this will be her
final performance as the Sugarplum Fairy before pursuing a
professional career in ballet.
Dancing at South Jersey Ballet has provided me with so many
opportunities, Valentino said. I
am sad that this will be my last
year performing with all the wonderful girls.
Four performances of The
Nutcracker will take place on
Friday, Dec. 18 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 19 at 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
