The Haddonfield Sun
Its an early Christmas gift for
Haddonfield drivers.
Tanner Street, which has been
under construction for more
than a year and a half, is now
open for drivers and is complete-
ly lined.
Mayor Tish Colombi said there
are several visual improvements
that need to be completed along
Tanner Street, but the majority of
the project is complete. Para-
mount Enterprises Inc. is cur-
rently looking to subcontract the
final phase of the project to a
company to install several park-
ing spaces on the library side of
Tanner Street. However, the
street is open for parking and
driving on a regular basis for the
first time in several months.
All the paving is finished, the
striping is done and the handi-
capped walkways are finished
now. Its a huge change in that
area. Right now there are only
some amenities left we need to
finish.
Lanterns will be installed,
Colombi said, and a number of
trees will have to be planted
along the roadway as well. The
trees cannot be planted in the
winter, she said, so they will be
planted sometime in the spring.
Colombi said the borough has
received little feedback on the re-
cently installed parking kiosks
on the street. Tanner Street is
serving as a pilot program for the
borough to see if the kiosks work
better than the traditional park-
ing meters in town.

Crime increased 1 percent
throughout the state from 2009
to 2010, according to the Uni-
form Crime Reports published
by the state last week.
The annual report is based on
crime statistics submitted to the
New Jersey Uniform Crime Re-
porting System by every New
Jersey law enforcement agency
for the year 2010, according to
Paula T. Dow, the attorney gen-
eral of New Jersey. Effective law
enforcement requires accurate
crime statistics in order to iden-
tify the extent, type, and loca-
tion of criminal activity, she
said in the report. Criminal jus-
tice administrators and plan-
ners have long recognized the
Uniform Crime Reporting Pro-
gram as the vehicle to accom-
plish this objective.
Violent crime and nonviolent
crime incidents are both up in
the state, with nonviolent inci-
dents increasing by about 3,000
incidents over 2009 to 183,643 in
2010. Violent crime increased by
about 68 incidents, up to 27,174
incidents in 2010.
In Camden County, the overall
crime incidents both nonvio-
lent and violent went up about
3 percent from 2009 to 2010.
There were 19,569 incidents in
2010 to only 19,011 in 2009.

The Borough of Haddonfield
saw a bump in its overall crimi-
nal incidents from 178 in 2009 to
318 in 2010, according to the
crime reports.
Violent crimes jumped from 6
to 11 and nonviolent crime
jumped from 172 to 307 inci-
dents. For the second year in a
row there were no murders or
incidents of rape in the bor-
ough. The crime rate per 1,000
residents went up to about 27 in-
cidents, up from about 16 per
1,000 residents in 2009.
Incidents of burglary jumped
from 21 in 2009 to 73 in 2010.
Haddonfield Police Chief
John Banning said the crime re-
ports are a good tool to see over-
all criminal patterns through-
out the state and the county, but
the police departments finds its
month to month reports more
useful for policing.
Its tough though, he said, for
a town like Haddonfield where
any decrease or increase in the
incidents can skew the stats.
The overall increase in crimi-
nal incidents from 2009 to 2010
can definitely be attributed to
the number of car break ins
many of which involved un-
locked vehicles and thefts of
copper downspouts.
Incidents such as these in-
creased through all municipali-
ties in Camden County, he said,
not just Haddonfield.
The economy certainly plays
a big part in this. You need to
look at the big picture, he said.

T
hanksgiving kicks off the tra-
ditional holiday season. And
with the holiday season come
all kinds of efforts to help those in
need.
We want to help spread the word if
you or an organization you are work-
ing with are trying to brighten the hol-
idays for someone.
Every year, schools, civic groups
and more hold all kinds of drives.
Food is collected. Clothing is gathered.
Toys are purchased and donated so
that children have a happy holiday
season.
We want to help these efforts by get-
ting the word out. To do that, we need
you to tell us about any collection ef-
forts you have.
Its easy to do. Just shoot us an
email. Tell us who you are, what you
are doing and, most importantly, how
our readers can help you to achieve
your goal.
Its vital to tell us where and when
people can make donations and the
types of donations that you are accept-
ing. Letting people know where their
donations end up doesnt hurt either.
Once we get the information, we
will share it with our readers. Then,
hopefully, they will respond and fill
your collection baskets until they are
overflowing.
Theres no need to explain the eco-
nomic problems so many of our
friends and neighbors are experienc-
ing. You know many people are hurt-
ing, and have been hurting for some
time now. You know that, without your
help, they will have a difficult holiday
season.
So lets do all we can to help those in
need. All of you Holiday Heroes, let us
know what you are doing and how peo-
ple can make a difference.
Well take it from there.
Help during holidays
Collecting food? Gathering clothing? Tell us about it
Holiday heroes
If you are holding a drive to help the
less fortunate this holiday season, tell
us about it. Well spread the word.
Ode to Tanner Street
Not an ordinary street
In extraordinary times
We are three historic blocks
To stroll and shop and dine.
We have charm and class and spirit
After living through the worst
With the cherry tree and tulips
We'll forget last summers curse.
So we connect the big guys
On Haddon or Kings you'll park
Cause Tanner got the kiosks
And they've left us in the dark.
We'll be bringing light to Tanner
And Holidays filled with cheer
Cause the lamp posts due December
Wont be in till late next year.
It started with a tree
The borough wanted down
And with the will to save it
The fight involved the town.
And so the tree named Hope
Will bloom again this spring
And lure the lovely people
From Haddon and from Kings.
Wendy Kates
Thanks for the workout,
Haddonfield
My husband and I would like to thank
all of the commissioners for helping us
stay in shape. I used to be able to drive
downtown to do my various errands, visit
the library, etc. That is, until the never end-
ing roadwork started. We live on Maple Av-
enue; and I would have to walk quite far in
order to make my weekly visit to the li-
brary, as I am a bookworm. As for my hus-
band, he wasted his time this week by be-
lieving the published pick up dates for leaf
collection. According to the Friday trash
pickup schedule, leaves would be picked up
on Nov. 9, or a day or so after. So, on Tues-
day, Nov. 8 he raked all of our leaves to the
parkway strip. We waited, and waited, and
waited; and so far, the leaves are just where
we left them, except for what the wind has
blown on to all of our neighbor's lawns.
Who needs a gym when you live in Had-
donfield!

Lets make Haddonfield an al
fresco dining destination
I see four constraints to a good Bancroft
solution:
1. Maximize the utility for most Haddon-
field citizens.
2. No new taxes.
3. No increase in neighborhood traffic.
4. Bancroft receives a fair price.
Lets thank the consultants for their ad-
vice, pay them and let creative Haddonfield
citizens be open and creative in a unique
solution that is unlikely to come from con-
sultants who try and fit previous solutions
into new contexts. Constraint one means
no housing for a few wealthy and old folks,
nor expensive athletic fields with artificial
turf (all fall teams won their conference on
existing fields) and unnecessary, expensive
technology buildings when technology is
increasingly in the clouds and not tied to
buildings.
Constraint two means a mixed-use of
the land. I loved Tavern on Green in Cen-
tral Park and surprise restaurants in Euro-
pean trails; let's make Haddonfield a desti-
nation for al fresco dining, bike-riding, etc.
in some use of the land (maybe go back to
our Colonial roots and let people enjoy a
drink overlooking the park). Constraint
three might be accomplished by not mak-
ing Hopkins a through street. People could
park on either side, but not speed through.
I use it as a cut-through now and could sur-
vive without it doesn't seem like emer-
gency vehicles need this, but this could be
accommodated. Finally, if constraint four
can't be met, ignore all above.

election were a disaster for state
voters.
The Democrats picked up one
seat in the assembly. I'm sure Gov.
Christie was disappointed with
the results; he already has had his
hands tied behind him, with no
majority in either house.
Our only hope for continued
progress on making ends meet, is
for the individual democrat rep-
resentative to cooperate, and
think more seriously about what
needs to be done for New Jersey,
and not just getting reelected.
The ball is still in their court
and its up to them to get to work
and solve the same old problems.
In Haddonfield, the usual sus-
pects are engaging in the break-
the-bank game by helping the
school board run the town and
buy the Bancroft property.
No matter what political speak
is used to frame their argument,
the voters have heard enough
blah, blah, blah.
With all the homes for sale
right here in river city, by what
logic can justify raising taxes?
If you don't think this behavior
can get us in real trouble, call
Mayor Maley in Collingswood.
Moodys credit rating for
Collingswood is junk status and
has warned further downgrade is
possible.
All we need now is for the Oc-
cupy Wall Street crowd to march
down Kings Highway to raise
money to help buy Bancroft. The
BOE doesnt run the borough and
its about time they pay some at-
tention to the people, not just the
teachers union contracts.

Also, the Haddonfield Tulip
Company is planting 5,000 bulbs
along the brick wall of the park-
ing lot along the Archer and
Greiner Building, Colombi said.
A publication entitled The
Tanner Street Times, said the
Rotary Club of Haddonfield do-
nated $2,000 for the project and
another community organization
may give at least $2,000. The pub-
lication also stated that the
owner of 56 Haddon Ave., has
pledged $1,500.
Colombi said its time to at-
tract shoppers to Tanner Street
now that the construction has
died down.
As a way of attracting more
visitors during the holiday sea-
son, business owners along Tan-
ner Street have launched a holi-
day lighting contest for business-
es located along the recently re-
constructed thoroughfare called
the Light Up Tanner campaign
which will feature a Flick the
Switch holiday lighting ceremo-
ny at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov.
23.
Businesses taking part in
Light Up Tanner will have
their holiday lights lit from 5 p.m.
to midnight, seven days a week
from Wednesday, Nov. 23 through
Sunday, Jan. 8.
As part of the Light Up Tan-
ner campaign, businesses and
property owners along Tanner
Street are encouraged to adorn
their buildings and premises
with white holiday lights for a
chance to win a cocktail recep-
tion for 20 at Melange @ Haddon-
field, located at 18 Tanner Street.
The competition will be judged
by chef Joe Brown of Melange;
Rocco Marianni, an interior de-
signer at 40 Tanner; and Lisa
Hurd, Partnership for Haddon-
field retail coordinator with the
winner being announced on
Thursday, Dec. 1.
Light Up Tanner is part of
Tanner Streets post-construction
celebration which also includes
the Ticket to Tanner initiative
a contest where shoppers can
pick-up a Ticket to Tanner and
get it stamped at participating
businesses along Tanner Street
for the chance to win one of eight
prizes.

Special to The Sun
Beneath an autumn sky brim-
ming with light, Haddonfield resi-
dent Alison Kehner completed
the ING New York City Marathon
earlier this month in a cathartic
culmination of training that
since June had served as a form
of therapy and mourning, as well
as preparation.
In May, Alison, the mother of
three and a law professor at
Widener University, lost her clos-
est friend, Jennifer Forsa, to sud-
den cardiac failure at age 38, and
she found her runs through Had-
donfields parks and along its
quiet avenues the only effective
solace.
A long-time jogger with one
whole and several half-marathons
to her name, the athletic 39-year-
old had always valued the mental
release she derived from distance
running. In the wake of Jen-
nifers death, however, her weekly
15 miles became more than head
clearing, more than mere fitness.
The only thing that made me
feel better was going out for a
run, Alison said of those first
difficult weeks.
It was on such a run that she
resolved to enter the marathon,
thereby achieving a long-held
goal to reprise the classic 26.2-
mile discipline.
Jennifers sudden passing, Ali-
son says, impressed on her the
need to seize today, because
there might not be a tomorrow.
To join her in the race, Alison
enlisted Suzanne Dia, a friend
and Montclair resident with
whom she and Jennifer had
formed a close-knit trio since
their sorority days at the Univer-
sity of Delaware.
In honor of Jennifer, who suf-
fered from a heart defect, the two
scrambled for and secured the
last openings on the American
Heart Associations team, and
like thousands of others running
with a charitable group, commit-
ted to raising money for their cho-
sen cause.
New York was her city, Ali-
son said of Manhattan, where
Jennifer worked for many years
in human resources at the Col-
gate-Palmolive Company in mid-
town. In crossing the Central
Park finish line, she hoped to be
with Jen in a moment in time, in
a place she associates closely with
her friend.
I know Ill finish it, Alison
said. When I do, I will have done
it for her.
Distance necessitated that Ali-
son train solo. With help from a
Runners World guide, she set
about a program that drastically

augmented her usual jogging rou-
tine and enforced a strict yoga
hiatus charting routes that
sometimes reached 20 miles and
nearly always took her up and
over a perennial bane of local
cross-country teams the Centre
Street Hill.
At the bottom of that steep
grade, and elsewhere in town on
Hickory and Hinchman, on Wash-
ington Avenue Alison often
found containers of water left for
her in driveways and on front
steps beside words of encourage-
ment, chalked on pavement in col-
orful scrawl by friends and their
children.
People in town have been
great, Alison said of her neigh-
bors, who during her training vol-
unteered to watch 7-year-old
twins Katie and Samantha, and 4-
year-old Maddie; some even
joined her on the road five miles
here, seven or eight there before
heading back as she pushed on.
Alisons greatest support, how-
ever, came from inside her Maple
Avenue home, where husband
George Kehner shouldered extra
duties to accommodate her
lengthy runs.
George has been phenome-
nal, she said. He wants to help
me work through this loss.
Family proved crucial on Sun-
day around mile 23, when in the
midst of pain and nausea, Alison
spotted her childrens Go
Mommy sign held aloft.
I was feeling pretty badly, she
said. It was so motivational to
see them.
Not everything had gone ac-
cording to plan. A too-large Heart
Association jersey had been dis-
carded in favor of a pink one la-
beled, Alison, and a bus respon-
sible for transporting Alison and
Suzanne to the starting line failed
to get them there and they had
walked the remaining distance.
Socks bought specifically for the
marathon contributed an enor-
mous blood blister to the cause.
Nevertheless, the gratitude Ali-
son felt when she woke Sunday in
early morning darkness for her
chance to participate in the run
had not abated, and still has not.
Im lucky to have lived it, she
said.
A mile past the children and
their signs, Suzanne turned to Al-
ison, flagging but determined in
the races final stretch. These
last two are for Jen, she said.
Propelled by memory and
adrenaline, the two women
crossed the finish line some 25
minutes later, having run for a
total of four hours and 57 min-
utes.
Suzi said it best, Alison de-
cided Monday afternoon, yester-
day was a celebration of life.
I feel that Jen was with us,
she added, and proud of us.
