If the Bancroft property were
to be sold for only $12 million,
would the organization not be
able to move off its campus? The
question was raised last week as
several Bancroft representatives
including Chief Operating Offi-
cer Joseph Flamini said the 19-
acre property was undervalued in
three redevelopment plans creat-
ed by Phil Caton of Clarke, Caton,
and Hintz.
In his study, Caton based his
findings on the assessed value of
Bancroft, about $12.1 million, that
was determined through a tax
revaluation completed by the bor-
ough in 2007. Flamini said
through discussions with devel-
opers, Bancroft believes the prop-
erty could be sold for nearly $15
million if zoned for a specific use.
Caton originally proposed that
a joint purchase of the Bancroft
property by the borough and the
board of education would result
in an annual $280 municipal tax
increase for the average home-
owner in Haddonfield. The town-
house option would basically be a
wash, he said, and taxpayers
wouldnt see an increase. Finally,
independent senior living units
would actually result in a $39 an-
nual savings for the average tax-
payer, he said.
Flamini backed up by Chief
Financial Officer Thomas J.
Burke said Caton overvalued
how much revenue townhomes
and senior independent units
would bring into the borough.
The borough could see a gap of
about $4.2 million for the town-
home option and $4.6 million for
the senior independent unit, he
said, which would make the fiscal
impact much higher for borough
residents.
The $12 million value is un-
derstated, Flamini said.
Bancroft has always had three
goals in this process, Flamini
said, which are to sell the proper-
ty, find a new piece of property to
purchase, and to have the funds to
do so. Flamini alluded to the fact
that if Bancroft sold its property
for $12.1 million, it would not
have the funds necessary to move
and would have to consider stay-
ing in the borough.
When asked by Planning Board
Chairman John LaProcido how
Bancroft came up with its $15 mil-
lion value, the representatives
said that their number was based
on the property being possibly
zoned for a continuing care retire-
ment community (CCRC) and a

Its not every day that the state
gives school districts throughout
New Jersey additional funding,
but when it does, you wont hear
too many complaints from school
leaders.
The Haddonfield School Dis-
trict received some unexpected
news last week, as Gov. Christie
announced millions more in
school state aid for the 2012 fiscal
year budget.
The Christie administration
announced the allocation plan for
$850 million in new aid author-
ized for New Jersey schools in the
fiscal year 2012 budget. This in-
cludes the initial $250 million in-
crease for all school districts, as
well as an additional $450 million
for the Abbott districts, and an ad-
ditional $150 million for non-Ab-
bott districts.
This year, New Jersey in-
creased state aid to school dis-
tricts by $850 million over last
year, restoring every dollar of the
cuts we were forced to make last
year and increasing aid by an ad-
ditional $30 million. We are keep-
ing faith with our commitment to
New Jerseys children and fami-
lies, spending more money per
pupil on New Jerseys students
than almost any other state in the
country, Christie said. Now is
the time to complement the dol-
lars spent with real education re-
form to bring a focus on student
learning, accountability and re-
sults.
Haddonfield will reportedly re-
ceive an increase of about
$318,877 over its 2011-2012 state
aid total. Superintendent Richard
Perry said that the funding can be
used for either tax relief, educa-
tional expenses, or be placed into
surplus for the 2012-2013 school
year.
The board has several weeks to
determine how it can use the
funding.
The state Department of Edu-
cation will likely release more de-
tails and instructions on how the
district can use its additional
funding.

additional aid to all school dis-
tricts in the state, please visit the

tion/stateaid/1112.

The Haddonfield Middle
School will have a new principal
for 2011-12. Current Tatem Ele-
mentary School Principal Gino
Priolo was tabbed as the succes-
sor for Dr. Noah Tennant at the
middle school, the board of edu-
cation revealed last week. Ten-
nant will be leaving his position
as principal of Haddonfield Mid-
dle School to lead a charter school
in Philadelphia. Superintendent
Richard Perry said members of
the Haddonfield Board of Educa-
tion accepted his resignation last
week. Tennant has already sent
out a letter informing parents of
middle school students about his
decision to leave. Priolo is a fan-
tastic administrator and will have
the added benefit of knowing
many of the students from Tatem
Elementary who will be attending
the middle school next year, Perry
said.
I think hes going to do a fan-
tastic job there. One third of the
students there already had him as
principal of Tatem, Perry said.
Hes well known in the Tatem
community as well as throughout
the Haddonfield district.
Taking his position will be
Karen Schultz, a teacher at Eliza-
beth Haddon Elementary School.
She ... has worked on many
initiatives districtwide, and is
one of the leaders of the profes-
sional development committee,
Perry said. She has a fantastic
reputation among the communi-
ty, parents, and students. She is
fully qualified for the position.

vited to a memorial mass, Satur-
day, July 23, 10 a.m., at Holy Eu-
charist Catholic Church at St.
Pius X, 344 Kresson Rd., Cherry
Hill. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made in her memory to
the Medical Oncology Prescrip-
tion Fund, 380 Pierce St.,
Kingston, Pa. 18704. Arrange-
ments by Kain-Murphy Funeral
Services of Haddonfield.
The following items can be
found on file with the Haddon-
field Police Department:
An Upland Way resident re-
ported to police on July 9 at 9:45
a.m. that several juveniles had
been drinking on the easement
next to his house the night before.
The suspects had left a trash
bag filled with empty beer cans
on his property.
A W. Park Avenue resident re-
ported to police on July 8 at 5:43
p.m. that a baby stroller had been
stolen from outside of her house.
The stroller was a brown and
pink Bob baby stroller. The
stroller had hand weights and
several baby toys in it as well, the
victim said. It was valued at more
than $400.
An Acme employee reported to
police on July 9 at 1:01 p.m. that
several customers were scream-
ing at each other in the parking
lot of the Acme. Officers reported
to the scene, but by the time of
their arrival the two suspects had
already left.
Later on in the same day at 6:32
p.m., one of the suspects involved
in the screaming argument came
to the Haddonfield Police Head-
quarters.
The woman said that a male in
the parking lot was screaming at
her because he believed she was
parking in the lot so she could at-
tend the craft fair, which was oc-
curring at the same time. The
woman said she was actually
going to the Acme.
After speaking with her hus-
band, the woman said she didnt
want to provide her name to au-
thorities, but just wanted the inci-
dent to be on record with the po-
lice department.
A Lane of Acres resident re-
ported to police on July 9 at 7:35
p.m. that three male juveniles
were loitering on her lawn.
The resident reported that the
three juveniles were last seen
walking toward Washington Av-
enue. The area was checked with
negative results.
A Warwick Road resident re-
ported to police on July 9 at 4:49
p.m. that her daughters bike and
her friends bicycle were stolen
from her house sometime be-
tween July 7 and 8.
The bicycles were on the drive-
way near the rear of the home.
They were unlocked at the time of
the incident.

7:08 p.m. for an unknown suspect
entering her unlocked vehicle
and rummaging through the cen-
ter console of her car.
The suspect stole $5 in change.
The car was parked in her drive-
way at the time.
A Linda Avenue resident re-
ported to police on July 11 at 3:16
p.m. that two juveniles were chas-
ing after a rabbit with an airsoft
gun and shooting pellets at the
animal. The last she saw of the
suspects was the duo riding away
from the scene on a motorized yel-
low bicycle.
An officer came to the scene
and found several plastic pellets
on the ground. A dead rabbit was
also found on the scene but there
was no evidence that it had been
shot. The area was checked for
the suspects but there were nega-
tive results.
A resident reported to police
on July 2 at 8:17 p.m. that a suspi-
cious male suspect approached
him on the street and asked for
his name.
He told the suspect his name
and the suspect then said he was
recruiting for a modeling compa-
ny and asked if he was interested
in participating.
The resident said he wasnt in-
terested and said the suspect then
walked toward the PATCO sta-
tion.
He described the suspect as
being in his mid-30s with a white
dress shirt and brown pants.
The area was checked with
negative results.
A Jefferson Avenue resident re-
ported to police on July 1 at 4:46
p.m. and said someone entered

The Haddonfield Sun
A discovery was made in Had-
donfield two weeks ago that was
on par with Jean-Louis Michel
and Dr. Robert Ballard discover-
ing the RMS Titanic wreckage in
the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Fine, maybe its nothing like
that at all, but for two young ad-
venturers it was still pretty cool.
Scott Partenheimer made a
fantastic discovery as he found
several hours of raw footage in
his fathers basement of Scotts
adventure from London, England,
to Ulan Bator, Mongolia, in the
10,000-mile 2008 Mongol Rally.
Partenheimer and his friend
Paul Shively participated in the
rally in 2008, hosted by the
League of Adventurists Interna-
tional Limited.
The group organizes the race
each year with the intent of rais-
ing at least 1 million pounds for a
designated charity.
The unique English organiza-
tion, according to its website, was
developed and created with the
intent of making the world a less
boring place.
Competitors had to raise $2,000
to participate in the rally. The two
adventurers raised over $5,000 for
the privilege to participate in
the race.
The duo raced along a route
through Germany, Austria, Slova-
kia and Ukraine before hitting
Russia. They drove through Rus-
sia until they reached Ulan Bator
for a grand total of about 10,000
miles.
Teams in the competition are
only allowed to use cars that are
purchased before the race for less
than 500 pounds and have only
one-cylinder engines. Average
cars have four cylinder engines,
which means a one-cylinder en-
gine generates far less horsepow-
er.
Of course, Partenheimer docu-
mented the trip with his trusty
video camera, but unfortunately
lost the footage soon after return-
ing from the trip.
The videos were saved on
discs and were lost in the abyss of
my dads basement, but I just
found them last week while look-
ing for something else entirely
and decided to finally make the
highlights reel I always wanted
to, Partenheimer said. We shot
dozens of short one to two-
minute clips, and some of those
clips ended up on YouTube
unedited. The full clip of us driv-
ing on the Autobahn in Germany
has over 15,000 views. Americans
driving a tiny car at only 70 mph
on the mighty Autobahn makes
for good viewing, I guess.
Taking the raw footage, Parten-
heimer edited together a
YouTube video detailing the trip.
It was a great closing chapter to a
once in a lifetime adventure, he
said, and a great way to remem-
ber the trip.
Just too bad it took this long
to make the damn thing, he said.

time revisited.

Moving the goalposts
late in the game
It was quite an unusual meet-
ing of the Haddonfield Planning
Board with a couple of big sur-
prises in reference to the pro-
posed Bancroft redevelopment
plan.
At this late date in the game
lawyers representing Bancroft
came in and announced that the
price tag of $12 million for sell-
ing off the property was far too
low. They made it quite clear
that they need more money to
satisfy their goals and ques-
tioned how the borough would
stay with such a low ball fig-
ure. As for the three land use
proposals, they said they were
nice but not realistic in meeting
their demands as presented.
They stressed strongly that no
developer could afford to build
on the site with the low-density
factors favored in the two hous-
ing proposals. They said that the
borough should find ways to pro-
vide additional funding if they
would go with the open-space
plan.
Why this logic was presented
at this late date made me ques-
tion just how much effective
communication there was be-
tween Bancroft, the planning
board, the commissioners and
the consultants over the years.
Bancroft representatives made it
very clear that they couldnt care
less how the borough would
come up with more money but
should do so or they couldnt
support it.
Even more confusing was the
fact that so many people went to
the meeting thinking the plan-
ning board would make a choice
of which plan they thought was
best or table it until they had
more time to come to a final deci-
sion. Instead the planning board,
with a unanimous vote, submit-
ted all three plans to the commis-
sioners saying they all had
merit. Most members of the
planning board sat there very
quietly and offered very little
critical thinking in reference to
the merits of the three plans,
considering all of the meetings,
documentation, discussion, etc.
that had been held over the
years.
In doing a little research my
latest understanding (subject to
change?) is that the commission-
ers will review all three propos-
als and then send their decision
back to the planning board for
review but still will make the
final decision. This was not
made clear at the meeting.
Does this all sound confusing?
Why did Bancroft come this late
in the process with their strong
stand? How much in-depth, in-
formative dialogue was there be-
tween Bancroft and the borough
(or lack of) over the years to
reach this point where Bancroft
is pointing to a whole new ball
game if their demands are not
met?
Something is not right.

Violating American
flag etiquette
Residents of Roberts Avenue
have a long history of participa-
tion in Haddonfields Independ-
ence Day parade. For many
years their floats had topical
themes, and participants
dressed in costumes and carried
signs with witty words and
phrases. Themes that I especial-
ly enjoyed include the Tribute to
Tish, with dozens of men in red
dresses, some wearing high
heels; and the Salute to Judge
Ito, who presided over the first O.
J. Simpson trial. Participants
that year wore black robes and
carried signs that played clever-
ly on the judges surname. The
last sign of all: Fin Ito.
Ive missed that humor these
last few years. Others have also.
This year, Roberts Avenue res-
idents carried a 38-year-old, 20-
foot by 40-foot Grand Old Flag.
On the front cover of its July 13-
19 issue, The Haddonfield Sun
printed a terrific photo of the
flag, taken from on high as the
contingent approached Haddon
Avenue.
Although carrying the Ameri-
can flag in a flat or horizontal
manner is a breach of flag eti-
quette [Section 8(c) of the United
States Code Title 4 Chapter 1
The Flag], the American Legion
says that it has no issues with
those who desire to carry the
flag flat or horizontally. In fact,
the Legion has a standing resolu-
tion that offers numerous
changes to the Flag Code to
bring it up-to-date with current
accepted patriotic practices.
That doesnt let Roberts Av-

Still losing
But its still time to celebrate?
T
his must be an example of the new normal when it
comes to casinos in New Jersey.
Atlantic City casinos saw their revenues fall 3.7 percent in
June. The news was hailed by
some as a victory of sorts for
the industry since that was the
best showing since February,
when they saw revenue drop 1.4
percent.
Lets use gambling parlance
to translate: Hey, my slot ma-
chine stopped only one spot away from the jackpot! Or, That
horse I bet on to win came in a strong second!
You lose.
The casinos have been bleeding money. They still are bleed-
ing money. Only not as much. But it still stinks.
When it comes to the gambling race, New Jersey is way be-
hind, despite being given a huge head start. No sports betting.
Marketing efforts from the state/Atlantic City/the
casinos/some combination thereof are coordinated with all of
the precision and style of a kindergarten class first fire drill.
Nobody saw a threat from casinos popping up in neighboring
states: Dont worry about them. Those busloads of people
dont mind the extra two-hour drive. We have an ocean.
AC isnt dead, but it wont survive without dramatic changes:
a push to get sports gambling (which the state is trying to do,
but most likely wont succeed); coordinated marketing efforts;
cheaper food and hotels; and a general, overall effort to make
the place a destination point.
Vegas is Vegas for all of those reasons, and probably a few
more. And while that city has its problems housing bubble-
burst being No. 1 people still fly from all over the country to
visit, bypassing their local gambling joints to visit.
Until AC casinos get their act together, no one should be par-
tying on the boardwalk because the bad news isnt as bad.
A good bet?
Do you visit Atlantic City
casinos as often as you did
in the past, or do you visit
ones closer to home? Visit

share your thoughts.

Forget about restaurant week
in Philadelphia. Why not check
out something local?
For the fifth year in a row, the
South Jersey Independent
Restaurant Association, most
commonly known as SJ HOT
Chefs, will host its Annual Farm
to Fork Week, a tribute to local
farmers.
Throughout the summer, the
Farm to Fork campaign will host
cooking demonstrations, dinners,
and Feasts in the Fields, begin-
ning with Farm to Fork Week
from July 17 to 23.
During Farm to Fork Week,
participating restaurants will
create four-course menus, rang-
ing from $25 to $35, featuring the
finest locally-grown products and
ingredients.
Haddonfield has two local
restaurants participating in the
Farm to Fork Week. Little Tuna,
141 Kings Highway, and Tre
Famiglia Ristorante, 403 N. Had-
don Ave., will be offering the spe-
cial four-course menus during the
week.
The focus of Farm to Fork
throughout its five-year history
has been to support local farms
and showcase the high quality of
South Jersey produce. Dozens of
local farms will participate in
this years initiative, including
1895 Organic Farm, Duffields
Farm Market, Hunters Farm,
Moods Farm Market, Muth Fam-
ily Farm and Spinella Farm. The
SJ HOT Chefs are working closely
with these and other farms to
bring customers the freshest,
most flavorful fruits, produce, and
meats available.

Fellow veterans (Marines, sol-
diers, sailors, airmen) and Ameri-
cans, heres a great chance to see
the terrific museum in Quantico,
Va. followed up with the evening
ceremony at Marine Corps head-
quarters featuring the presidents
own drum and bugle corps and
silent drill team.
Haddonfield American Legion
Post 38 has scheduled a bus trip to
the Washington, D.C. area on Fri-
day, July 29.
The trip will accommodate 50
people and reservations will be

Friday, July 29.
The itinerary will include vis-
its to the Marine Corps Museum,
dining in downtown Washington,
and attending the evening parade

The museum is a lasting trib-
ute to U.S. Marines past, pres-
ent, and future and is situated
on a 135-acre site adjacent to Ma-
rine Corps Base Quantico, Va.,
and its soaring design evokes the
image of the flag-raisers of Iwo
Jima and beckons visitors to the

The evening parade at the Ma-
rine barracks has been an
evening tradition for over 60
years at the Oldest Post of the

cision marching. It features the
United States Marine Band, drum
and bugle corps, color guard, and

BY COLLEEN P. CLARK
The Haddonfield Sun
While the New Jersey State As-
sociation of Chiefs of Police is
not exactly for or against Camden
Countys proposed countywide
police plan, its executive director
said they definitely dont agree
with how they see the process un-
folding.
Also unsettling is the negative
portrait of Camden County police
chiefs being painted by politi-
cians, according to Mitchell C.
Sklar.
Last month, the Camden Coun-
ty Police Chiefs Association an-
nounced it was walking away
from discussions with the county
about a proposed countywide po-
lice plan because the chiefs felt
the plan, which wasnt transpar-
ent enough, was moving forward
regardless of their input.
We dont discuss matters like
its a political campaign, so I
wont try to characterize the mo-
tives behind the way things are
being done (by the county),
Sklar said.
However, thats not the way he
thinks the county has approached
the matter, he pointed out.
Sklar, on behalf of all police
chiefs, took offense to a line in a
recent press release in which
Freeholder Director Louis Cap-
pelli Jr. said the Camden County
Police Chiefs Association no
longer wanted to be involved be-
cause they were more concerned
about protecting their own inter-
ests.
The fact is, they are all eligible
to retire, Sklar said. They have
had long, distinguished careers.
They could take a well-earned re-
tirement. They live here; their
family lives here; the community
they spent their entire adult life
serving is here.
Because of that, it is the future
he said they are concerned about,
not the here and now. Personaliz-
ing the issue is counterproduc-
tive, he said.
That may be stuff for politics,
but its not stuff for policy, he
said. The policy decisions will be
left behind when the personali-
ties leave the scene. Thats why
its disappointing to see the re-
sponse, the assault on their char-
acter, as opposed to an actual dis-
cussion based on the points that
they want to make.
Sklar shared the same
thoughts that some Camden
County police chiefs have shared.
His association does not have an
anti-position on regionalization,
whether the potential plan in-
volves a few towns or the whole
county.
What we do have is, as we
have in every aspect of public
safety operations, a very strong
position in doing things in a pro-
