Authors prepare for event
By SEAN PATRICK MURPHY
The Shamong Sun
No one is prouder to be a Piney
than Linda Stanton.
She started the Lines on the
Pines seven years ago, a celebra-
tion of writing on the Pine Bar-
rens.
This years event will be held
Sunday, March 11, from 11 a.m. to
4 p.m. at Frog Rock Golf & Coun-
try Club in Hammonton.
It was Stantons curiosity
about the area she lives in that
started the annual event.
While there are artists and mu-
sicians at the event, the main at-
traction is the authors.
This year, there will be more
than 50 participants, whom Stan-
ton calls celebrities of the Pine
Barrens.
The first event was at Sweetwa-
ter Casino, and Stanton said the
owner asked, Whos ever going
to come to a book signing?
She said the lines of patrons
were six people deep and 80 peo-
ple stayed for a sit-down dinner.
This year, the participants will
take over the banquet room, li-
brary room and first dining room
at the country club.
Authors will be selling their
books as well as signing them.
Stanton, who has lived in the
area for eight years, fell in love
with the Pine Barrens while
kayaking in the Mullica River.
She later bought a house along
the river.
The area that were in is just
filled with history and lore and
tales of the Pine Barrens, Stan-
ton said. Ive met some of the
most incredibly talented people I
could have hoped to meet.
Librarian
group
names
president
By SEAN PATRICK MURPHY
The Shamong Sun
Seneca High School librari-
an Amy Rominiecki has been
named president of the New
Jersey Association of School
Librarians (NJASL).
Im very excited and hon-
ored, Rominiecki, now in her
eighth year at Seneca, said. It
is a huge responsibility to be
the leader of more than 700
school librarians in the state of
New Jersey.
She was already on the
NJASL board when the nomi-
nation committee asked her to
run for the position once it
opened.
I am scared, also, because
its a huge job, but Im very
confident that Ill do a good
job, Rominiecki said.
She discussed a recent Rut-
gers University study on the
effectiveness of school li-
braries on student achieve-
ment and said she will have to
get the word out about the
study as part of her new role.
Thats going to be a huge
component of what Ill be
working on, Rominiecki said.
A challenge will be to work
in different capacities with
state legislators.
Of course, New Jersey leg-
islators have a lot on their
plate right now and the voice

Military men and women in
Burlington County now may have
another friend waiting for
them at the Burlington County
Animal Shelter.
Freeholder Mary Ann OBrien
unveiled the shelters Free Pets
for Vets program, through
which all county veterans may
adopt a dog or cat free of charge.
It is well known that compan-
ion animals can help to reduce
stress, depression and anxiety,
OBrien said. What were doing
is reducing the barriers for adopt-
ing animals for those who, we be-
lieve, will truly appreciate the
companionship.
The typical cost of adopting
from the shelter runs anywhere
from $45 to $100, depending on
whether its a cat or dog and the
age of the animal. All animals are
neutered or spayed before being
adopted out.
Veterans interested in adopt-
ing will need to fill out an applica-
tion form and show a copy of
their DD-214 or County Veteran
ID Card. The typical waiting peri-
od runs anywhere from one to
seven days, depending upon the
animal.
All county residents in the
market for a pet should
consider the shelter, OBrien
said. Visitors are welcome to
walk through the kennels and ac-
quaint themselves with our occu-
pants who are looking for new
homes.
The shelter is located on Pio-
neer Boulevard in the countys
Westampton complex, off Wood-
lane Road. It has hours every day
but Sundays and holidays. The
phone number is (609) 265-5073.
Information about the shelter
and photos and data on pets avail-
able for adoption can be found on
the countys website at
www.co.burlington.nj.us, by click-
ing on the health department and
then animal shelter.

She said the area lost a true
Pine Barrens enthusiast in
Howard Boyd, who died recently.
He loved this event, Stanton
said. Some of the letters that Im
going to cherish the most are
ones that he wrote to me. He was
just a charming gentleman.
Now that the event has grown,
Stanton is applying for 501(c)3
nonprofit status.
Its our way of giving back to
authors and artists who have
given so much to so many of us,
she said.
Stanton said she is trying to in-
crease awareness of the Pine Bar-
rens, appreciation for the area,
and an increase in reading.
Now that Lines on the Pines
is so large, she has the regrettable
task of turning some people away.
I want to be careful to keep
this event about the Pine Barrens
and not overstretch what that in-
cludes, Stanton said. The most
rewarding part definitely is see so
many come and support this
event.
Among others, the Pineland
Preservation Alliance is support-
ing Lines on the Pines.

in our opinion
O
nly LeBron James Decision
captured more attention than
Chris Christies ultimate no
to seeking the GOPs presidential
nomination this year.
In hindsight, his move was genius.
Since ultimately deciding to not run
for the top spot, Christie has been col-
lecting headlines stumping for likely
GOP standard bearer Mitt Romney.
Christies candor plays well to crowds.
His willingness to engage opponents
energizes the GOP base.
In other words, hes a great fit on
what could be a formidable Romney-
Christie ticket this November.
As it stands, the GOP will be the un-
derdogs this fall. Incumbent presi-
dents can be difficult to knock off, but
theres still plenty of time for things to
change.
While Christie wouldnt necessarily
woo the social conservatives of the
GOP, he would appeal to independent
voters, would bring a real shot to take
a traditionally Democratic state in the
November elections, and would be a
tough-talking counterpart to Rom-
neys laid back approach to politick-
ing.
For Christie personally, he wins
even if the Republican ticket falls
short in the election. Should he decide
to run in 2016, he will be known across
the land, and he wont have to face an
incumbent president at the polls.
Should the GOP pull out a win this
year, Christie is next in line to be pres-
ident when Romneys turn at the helm
is over.
We think Christie has been thinking
about the presidency for awhile now.
Why wouldnt he? A number of influ-
ential Republicans tried desperately to
get him into this race. No reason he
wouldnt think about 2016 and beyond.
Now, as the primaries are rolling
along and Romney seems to be the
choice of the party, those Republicans
might get their wish. Christie might
not be at the top of the ballot come No-
vember, but he certainly can position
the party to win.
Christie 2016? 2020?
All of those Republican insiders who
wanted Chris Christie on the ballot
this November might get their wish.
He would be a great choice for the
No. 2 spot.
Every year, Boy Scouts of America Cub
Scouts and their parents weed flower beds,
mulch and plant new plants at the Indian
Mills Lake boat launch. It takes about 3 1/2
hours and after it is done, it looks won-
derful.
People from other communities come
fish at our lake and the Cubs are happy to
make a difference in their community
through this service. They are planning
their next community service project
at the boat launch the first weekend in
June.
Another way Pack No. 47 Cub Scouts
have been serving the Shamong communi-
ty for the past nine years is to hold a pan-
cake breakfast that benefits the needy fam-
ilies of Shamong.
In the past two years, they have grateful-
ly received 100 percent donations of all
supplies needed for the breakfast.
All the money earned at the breakfast
goes directly to the school nurses and they
distribute it to needy families. The Scouts
have given them cash, and some
years Kohls gift cards in various denomi-
nations.
Over the past nine years, BSA Pack 47
has given more than $5,000 to the school to
support the families.
Kindergarten registration starting Feb. 27
Cub Scout Pack No. 47 serves Shamong community
Shamong Township School District
kindergarten registration begins next
month for September.
Registration for Shamong children en-
tering kindergarten in September 2012 is
scheduled for Feb. 27 to March 1.
Parents should complete the registra-
tion packet at Indian Mills School during
this week in order to help school officials
structure classes for next year. The daily
schedule for the week appears at the bot-
tom of this notice.
To be eligible for kindergarten, a child
must be 5 on or before Oct. 1.
The district is also continuing with an
initiative begun last year designed to help
our youngest students nurture and grow
stronger called KinderClub. This is an en-
richment program developed to enhance
the learning experience for our next gener-
ation.
Parents interested in KinderClub can in-
quire further and enroll their children
when they register for kindergarten. In
order to help parents make a decision that
is right for them and their children, open
hours from 11:30 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. have been
established for visits to KinderClub con-
current with registration.
Anyone planning on a visit to the class
during this week should plan an afternoon
registration appointment.
KinderClub is only conducted during
the afternoon. Morning hours are reserved
for regular kindergarten classes.
It is not necessary for parents to bring
their children to registration. However,
parents must bring the following paper-
work: original birth certificate with state
seal; medical records particularly immu-
nization records; three proofs of residency
(one must be a deed or lease; the other
proofs can be a current utility bill, drivers
license).

support groups to grieving resi-
dents of Burlington, Camden and
Gloucester counties. Groups meet
in a private, comfortable setting

ing and growth following the loss
of a loved one.
Each year, Moorestown Visit-

of school librarians has been
pretty small, she said. We try as
hard as we can to get our voice
heard.
Rominiecki is looking forward
to attending national and state
conferences and learning best
practices from other librarians
and bringing that back to Seneca.
Once upon a time, the librarian
had thought about being a class-
room teacher.
I have so many different inter-
ests that when I learned what a li-
brarian does, which is work with
all different subject matters, all
different teachers, that really ap-
pealed to me (as well as) learning
all the different topics and work-
ing with students to investigate
what theyre interested in, Ro-
miniecki said.
Rominiecki said when she first
started at Seneca, the library had
1,200 books and now, there are
12,000.
She said a huge change in li-
braries since she was young is the
advent of computers. Part of her
job now is to help students find
accurate information using on-
line search engines. Rominiecki
said she stays on top of it all by at-
tending professional development
programs.
Weve really tried to make the
library the community center of
the school, she said. We have
hundreds of kids here every peri-
od and I think that thats been a
huge change for many people to
see the library not just a quiet
place but somewhere where
theres a lot of life going on.
Some students even eat lunch
in the library.
We want every kid to feel com-
fortable and safe, Rominiecki
said, noting some kids intimidat-
ed by the lunch room while others
want to socialize.

was originally scheduled for Fri-
day, Feb. 24.In addition, the board
voted to move the second of the
two hearings from the freeholder
board room to Rancocas Valley
Regional High Schools Perform-
ing Arts Center, 520 Jacksonville
Road, Mount Holly. Freeholders
began assessing the future of
Buttonwood last year, commis-
sioning a financial report which
determined that the taxpayer sub-
sidy of operating the facility
would reach $4.5 million in 2012,
and would continue to increase
dramatically in the coming years,
exceeding $5.2 million by 2016.
This board has a responsibili-
ty to ensure that quality of care is
maintained, said Freeholder
Joseph Donnelly, but we also
have an obligation to taxpayers as
a result of rising operating costs
and decreases in Medicare and
Medicaid reimbursements.
He said the information being
solicited from prospective bid-
ders not only provides us with
their financial status, but also is
intended to assist us in determin-
ing their ability to maintain the
highest quality of care. The addi-
tional time between now and the
auction will give staff and free-
holders ample opportunity to
evaluate these submissions.
Donnelly noted, once again,
that the auction, per se, would not
consummate in a sale, even if a
qualifying high bid was received.
Instead, he said, the board would
take two to four weeks to evaluate
the bid, revisit the bidders quali-
fications, digest public input, and
assess relevant financial data, all
before deciding whether to pro-
ceed with a sale.
An auction is the only way to
determine if the facility will
bring a price that merits a sale,
he said. And if for any reason
freeholders do not wish to accept
a bid, we are not obligated to do
so.
He said an in-house committee,
including staff from Buttonwood,
would evaluate and verify the
qualifications of bidders. He said
the bidders are being asked to
submit references, detailed data
on nursing homes they already
operate, and information related
to revocation or suspension of op-
erating licenses in the past.

Each year, the New Jersey Association of Student Councils, NJASC, chooses a charity for which to
raise money. The 2011-12 NJASC state charity is Good Grief, based in Morristown. Through
fundraising efforts such as the NJASC, Good Grief hopes to expand and serve more areas in South
Jersey. Senecas student council hosted its fourth-annual state charity dinner and raised $1,670
for Good Grief. The community service club, under the supervision of Lynn Ritter, prepared a pasta
dinner for 200 people. Student council members, led by Laura Bihlear, Ashlynn Mancinelli, Caroline
Royston, Jake Davies and Caitlyn Carty, served the salads, drinks and organized the basket distri-
bution to the winners. Meanwhile, parents, grandparents, students and community members ate
dinner and socialized, and had an opportunity to bid on 46 baskets. The baskets were donated by
local businesses, families and students. Dara Rush and Joe Primo from Good Grief gave a presenta-
tion on the foundation and the work they do for families who have experienced the loss of a loved
one.
