Committee
adopts
municipal
budget
By L. HABER
The Sun
Many topics were discussed at
the Voorhees Township Commit-
tee meeting on April 28 at Town
Hall.
The meeting began with the
adoption of the upcoming yearly
budget. The Voorhees Township
municipal budget was listed as
$27.6 million. Township Adminis-
trator Lawrence Spellman men-
tioned the total amount to be
raised by taxation as $18.7 mil-
lion.
Residents will not experience
hefty tax increases in the coming
year. The open space tax for resi-
dents will remain unchanged
from last year, at 2 cents. The local
tax rate will be 58.7 cents.
The average taxpayer will pay
$1,500 in total municipal taxes
this year, or $125 per month. This
is less than a $4 per month in-
crease from 2013, according to
Spellman.
Money in the budget will be
used for various improvement
projects throughout the year, es-
please see POLICE, page 2
pecially road repairs after the
harsh winter.
Once the budget is adopted,
there is money left in the budget
for bonding out of capital proj-
ects, Spellman said. Various
roads will be repaired and we
will use the $250,000 in grant
funds there, too.
The budget was read by title
only, after being read in depth at
previous meetings. Though
specifics about road repairs were
not discussed, the committee ex-
plained that details would be un-
veiled soon. All roads being re-
paired were incorporated in the
townships five-year road repair
system, which Spellman recalled
to have been adopted about three
years ago.
Hopefully, we will have funds
available by early summer, and
well start repaving our worst
roads in town, Spellman said.
In addition to road repairs,
about $1 million of budget funds
will be used in the near future to
repair a part of the township
sewer system.
Specifically, the Las Brisas
pump station will be partially re-
paired and rebuilt.
It is a pump station that serv-
ices an area of town its a town-
ship station, so its our responsi-
bility, Spellman said.
Like Las Brisas, there are 12
other pump stations throughout
Voorhees that carry and purify
waste. None of the other stations
will need to be repaired in the
next year.
After the topic of budgeting re-
pairs, the committee addressed a
tax deduction service for veter-
ans. Veterans who are Voorhees
residents are welcome to apply
for a $250 per year tax deduction
from the township.
Police Capt. Carmen Del Palaz-
zo was also officially sworn-in at
the meeting. Del Palazzo has
served the township in a multi-
tude of ways.
Hes also a member of the fire
department, Spellman said.
About 50 members of Voorhees
service departments, including
fire fighters, fellow police officers
and first responders, showed up
for the swearing-in ceremony.
Affecting police officers were
the mentioned additions and im-
provements to the police station.
At the meeting, a change order to
MJJ Construction was author-
ized to make an addition to the
station.
Basically, its for storage of
the evidence we must maintain,
Spellman explained.
With the town of Laurel
Springs, the committee author-
ized shared tax collection servic-
es.
The tax collector we are shar-
ing its a shared service
arrangement they are saving
some money by sharing, and we
are making some money by shar-
ing, Spellman said.
The Voorhees tax collection
services are being used at a
charge to Laurel Springs, which
the committee will then use for
projects and budgetary items in
Voorhees.
The next committee meeting
will take place on May 12 at 7:30
p.m.

To build school unity and make
summer reading more fun,
Voorhees Middle School will hold
its One School, One Book pro-
gram for the second year.
The book for the program was
recently announced as Wonder,
by R.J. Palacio, which was previ-
ously chosen by a committee of
teachers and students.
We try to select a book that is
meaningful and we like it to
have some philanthropic tie to
the community, VMS Principal
Robert Rossi said.
On May 20, the school will cele-
brate the book with a spring kick-
off. The kick-off will be a brunch,
book preview and open forum for
all of the Top Readers of VMS.
Were trying to make reading
fun, Rossi said.
Top readers are students who
district-wide librarians kept
track of having read the most
books throughout the year. Rossi
mentioned that top readers this
year would include about 80 stu-
dents who will be able to enjoy
the kick-off prior to the rest of
the school.
They get to meet the presen-
ters first it gathers a bit of ex-
citement and celebrates our top
readers, Rossi said.
Incoming VMS students who
are in grade five will come to the
kick-off. This invitation will give
the current elementary students
a chance to see their potential
middle school and also the unique
opportunity to speak with special
guests and current VMS students.
Usually, the fifth grade par-
ents come too, and we welcome
them, Rossi said.
The kick-off will introduce stu-
dents to representatives from the
Childrens Craniofacial Associa-
tion, and young people who have
been affected by sicknesses and
circumstances that have caused
them to suffer craniofacial in-
juries. A service dog will also at-
tend the kick-off.
The reason for the association
being a highlight of the kick-off
is a coherent theme that is cap-
tured throughout Wonder.
The book details the life of a
middle school student named Au-
gust Pullman, who is affected by a
craniofacial deformity, and the
struggles and triumphs he over-
comes throughout his young life.
After summer reading last
year, students participated in
many different charity events to
raise money for the Adam Talia-
ferro Foundation.
The One School, One Book ini-
tiative was inspired by alumnus
Adam Taliaferro writing Mira-
cle in the Making: The Adam Tali-
aferro Story.
The former VMS student and
Penn State football player was
paralyzed after a serious injury.
Since 2000, Taliaferro has re-
gained his ability to walk.
Created by Taliaferro and his
family, the foundation donates
money to severely injured stu-

try, to be honored.
Green Ribbon schools are recognized for
their efforts in reducing utility costs and
environmental impact, promoting better
health and providing environmental edu-
cation, including STEM, civics and green
career paths, according to the federal De-
partment of Education.
KBAs strategic plan for
greening included
changes to the building,
the use of green products,
minimizing waste, in-
creased recycling, in-
creased education and
partnering with our com-
munity to reduce the car-
bon footprint.
Through iPads, Smart-
boards, REMWEB and
other technology, KBA is
educating its students on tools that are es-
sential for being environmental stewards.
Students have traded in notebooks for the
app known as Notability, paper planners
for calendar apps and some books for on-
line texts.
Through the Internet, KBA is teaching
its students and their families about a
green lifestyle far beyond the actual cur-
riculum.
A great example of KBAs environmen-

hange can be hard to accept at
times, and so, too, can reality.
So its no surprise that the re-
sults of a recent poll show that more
residents in New Jersey oppose merg-
ing their town with another than sup-
port it.
Thats a change from four years ago,
when a Rutgers-Eagleton poll found
that more than half of the states resi-
dents favored mergers. Analysts say
the change in heart can be attributed
to Gov. Christies 2 percent cap on
property tax increases.
But while Christies cap has worked
for limiting tax increases, for now, we
dont know how long that will last.
Christie has been pushing for munici-
pal mergers for a few years now, and
he may turn up the heat on towns
soon.
You see, the state is in financial
trouble. Once again, revenues fell very
short of projections, this time by $800
million. Christie deflected blame, say-
ing many states overestimated tax rev-
enues, partly because wealthy people
began holding onto their money once
federal temporary tax cuts expired.
That may be true, but it doesnt
change the reality: New Jersey is in
the red, big time, and it may require
some serious budget cuts to get out.
Throw in the fact that were less than
two months from the end of the fiscal
year, and we could have a crisis on our
hands.
That brings us back to the issue of
consolidation. The state isnt getting
any better when it comes to taxes. So
while municipal tax increases have
stabilized over the last few years due
to the cap, the state as a whole collects
the most in property taxes on aver-
age a whopping $8,000 per home.
Taxes may have stabilized, but they
arent likely to go down any time
soon unless something is done on the
local level.
And that something could be con-
solidation.
Residents who are fearful of such a
move because of the lack of control,
lack of small-town identity, potential
compromise of services, safety and ed-
ucation among other issues can
look no further than Princeton as an
example. The municipality just ended
its first full year of consolidation be-
tween the former Princeton Borough
and Princeton Township, and by all ac-
counts, it was a success.
The consolidated municipality saw
a more than 4 percent reduction in the
budget because of the merger, while
not compromising on safety, security,
education and other services.
So why not follow Princetons lead?
Why not find a willing partner to
merge with, share services with and
save some money? Its an idea that
might become a requirement, instead
of an option, sometime soon.
Is it time for consolidation?
You may not like the idea, but it may be the best, and only, choice

Teachers suggest parents read
book to connect with children
dent athletes in New Jersey, Penn-
sylvania and Delaware.
Like the foundation, come the
end of the year and beginning of
next school year, VMS students
will create many events in the
community to raise money.
This year, the money will bene-
fit the Childrens Craniofacial As-
sociation, and possibly a few
other charities.
Lessons beginning next school
year will mirror lessons students
learned from the book, and subse-
quent charity events.
There are a lot of different les-
sons that can be learned, Rossi
said. Especially from the charac-
ters presented in this book.
Though VMS students in
eighth grade are not required to
read this years book, because
they will be moving on to high
school next year, top readers in
the grade are still invited to the
kick-off, and students are wel-
come to help with upcoming char-
ity volunteering.
Theyre not expected to read
it, but we include them in every
aspect, Rossi said.
Like the VMS students who
will soon become freshmen in
high school, parents of VMS stu-
dents are not required to partici-
pate in the One School, One Book
program. However, Rossi men-
tioned that he and the VMS teach-
ers seriously suggest that parents
read the book to connect with
their children as students.
We encourage parents to read
the book as well it really in-
spires the students to read, Rossi
said.
On Thursday, June 5, VMS will
host a Book Night at the Barnes
and Noble in Marlton from 3 to 9
p.m. Parents, students and all
Voorhees community members
are welcome to attend.
The night will highlight Won-
der, and copies will be available
for purchase. A portion of all
sales from that night will be do-
nated to the Childrens Craniofa-
cial Association.
Though the events are benefi-
cial to all students, faculty and
charities involved in the One
School, One Book program, Rossi
mentioned his favorite part of the
program to be the togetherness it
creates.
The unity is felt the whole
program really builds unity with
our school and community,
Rossi said. When everyone is in-
volved, it opens up the lines of
communication.
