Smiling into the New Year

By BRIGIT BAUMAThe Sun

Haddonfield had a lot happenin 2014 and a lot of big decisionshad to be made. In 2015, the bor-ough will see many of the proj-ects and decisions that were start-ed in the previous year come to aclose.

The biggest decision the bor-ough had to make was whether tosell its water and sewer utility. A

hotly debated topic, ultimatelyHaddonfield voters made the deci-sion to sell the utility to New Jer-sey American Water for $28.5 mil-lion, with about 65 percent of vot-ers choosing yes on electionday.

According to Mayor JeffKasko, the sale is under review bythe New Jersey Board of Public

New Years is a big event inHaddonfield. Haddonfield hostsFirst Night every year with alco-hol-free fun for all ages on NewYears Eve. Events for First Night2014 included live bands, chil-drens entertainment, fireworks

and a DJ Ray Midnight DanceParty.

With all of the New Year excite-ment last week, residents of Had-donfield were reflecting on thepast year as well as looking for-ward to the New Year to come.

Elizabeth Dugan was happy toshare that she got engaged in2014. On the last day of Novem-ber, her then-boyfriend got downon one knee in front Haddy theHadrosaurus in town, with all ofthe Christmas lights from the hol-

iday lighting up the moment.Im looking forward to the

wedding in 2015, Dugan saidwith a smile.

For Erin Howard, her favoritemoment from 2014 was moving toNew Jersey. From Massachusetts,Howard moved to the GardenState because her boyfriend aswell as some really good friendslive in the area.

That was really exciting,Howard said.

She doesnt have a New Yearsresolution; however, she doeshope she gets to travel to Europein 2015.

Hopefully, I might do it. Whoknows? Howard said.

Howard lived in Germany for ayear and has travelled all over Eu-rope. Her wish is to travel to Ger-many, Italy and England some-time during the year.

Just to go back would be

great, Howard said.An exciting event in 2014 for

Kevin Leigh was graduating gradschool with his masters degree infine art. Specifically focusing indrawing, Leigh ultimately wouldlike to be a teacher.

I guess that is probably myNew Years resolution, too,Leigh said.

In 2015, Leigh found out he isgoing to Maine, as part of a birth-day present, his birthday beingon Dec. 31, New Years Eve. He

said when he goes, he is lookingforward to camping and checkingout the local breweries.

For Mitch Gorshin, it was anexciting 2014 a year when heopened his new business calledGorshin Trading Post & Suppliesright here in Haddonfield.

Ive always wanted to openone up, ever since I was a kid, andthis was the perfect town to do itin, Gorshin said.

Opening on Sept. 4, GorshinTraining Post & Supplies hasabout 90 percent American prod-ucts; many are local/tri-stateproducts as well. Some productsinclude foul weather gear, localfoods and spices, bags and purseswith lifetime warranty and steel-edge snow shovels.

elcome to 2015! Another

year has come and gone, in

seemingly speed-of-light

fashion. Out with the old, in with the

new, as they say.

Last week, in our last issue of 2014,

we closed the door on the year with a

Year in Review.The end of a year is a chance for us

to reflect on all that has happened over

the last 12 months. It can be a sad time,

a happy time and a quizzical time all at

once.

But the end also brings a new begin-

ning. With 2015 officially here, lets all

resolve to make our lives, to make the

lives of those around us, better. Lets bea little more caring, a little more un-

selfish, a little more polite.

Lets work harder and smarter, in-

stead of longer.

Lets give a little more to those who

arent as fortunate as we are. Lets

learn from the mistakes of our past,

and make our future bigger and

brighter.

Here at The Sun, we resolve to serve

the community even better than we

have.

We resolve to be a better community

business partner, be better reporters

and provide an even better product for

our clients.

We resolve to improve the quality

and quantity of our content. We re-

solve to listen with open ears to yourthoughts, ideas and concerns.

To that end, wed love to hear from

you on how were doing, and what you

think we could be doing better. Please

share your thoughts via e-mail to

[email protected].

Help make our New Years resolu-

tions a reality by playing a part in

your paper.Heres to a wonderful year ahead!

in our opinion

HappyNewYear!Heres to a safe, happy, healthy and wonderful 2015

Writer: Thank goodnessoverdeveloping is on the ropes

A recent letter-writer's published note ofappreciation to one member of the Plan-ning Board fell short of expressing the big

thank you merited also by his colleagues.Thanks are due to those several boardmembers, who as a matter of course, dis-tinguish themselves in struggling, some-times fiercely, with the issues and doing soout loud, in meeting. Reasoning this sideand that side, so that the ultimate decisionis as nearly understood by all as is possible.Such was the case with the Dec. 2 decision,and it is appreciated.

Dissension, all healthy, showed more in

the discussion leading up to the vote thanin the vote. And while the mentioned voteof dissent deserves a measure of apprecia-tion, for perhaps encapsulating all the pre-vote talk, it cannot reasonably be seen as alone "attempt to preserve property rights."Property rights were on the table the whole

time.The letter-writer falls short again in pre-dicting the beneficiaries of the decision.As evidenced over the months of hearings,which included many strong opinionsshared by many residents, the beneficiar-ies promise to be many, beyond the attor-ney, whose benefit will be merely monetary

well-earned and happily paid by taxpay-ers who will apparently go to the mat to seetheir assets, streetscapes and their rights

protected, as was accomplished by thePlanning Board's judicious and fair deci-sion. Along with the writer, we can all won-der if the applicant is "well capitalized"enough by the profit motive to continuethrowing money at this inherently doomedventure. And then, there are the messy

particulars of water runoff, safety, land-scaping, incomplete applications, etc., all tobe rehashed?

An appeal, even if won, will be an ulti-mate loss for everybody if wasted timecounts for anything. Thank goodness theera of developing our already overdevel-oped Haddonfield is on the ropes, in-evitably and at long last coming to an inglo-rious end.

Walter Weidenbacher

The Haddonfield school dis-trict has a lot yet to come thisschool year. As school years gofrom September to June, Haddon-field schools have had most oftheir plans for the school yearprepared.

However, not all can be pre-pared for. One of those things wasthe possible bond referendum the

district has been discussing forthe past few months, where thedistrict would accept state RODgrants to pay for 40 percent of ap-proved school improvements. Themost significant question thatmight be on residents mind is,what is happening with the refer-endum?

As of now, the HaddonfieldBoard of Education has not made

the decision to pursue a bond ref-erendum in March, according toSuperintendent Richard Perry.School board members have beendiscussing how to approach thedistricts needs for building main-tenance along with state grant op-portunities. These discussionswill continue with public input atfuture Board of Education meet-ings.

For the 2014-2015 school year,the focus of the school district

has been creativity and criticalthinking for student-centeredlearning. According to Central El-ementary School Principal Shan-non Simkus, this kind of learninghappens in classrooms each andevery day in Haddonfield and alsoextends beyond the school daythrough extracurricular pro-grams.

One of those programs is Had-

donfield Memorial High SchoolsOdyssey of the Mind. TheOdyssey of the Mind Team willcompete again in 2015 after win-ning the Lighthouse Regional andState competitions last year. Ac-cording to Haddonfield MemorialHigh School Principal ChuckKlaus, the team has been practic-ing since early November andwill compete at the Regional com-petition March 14. In addition,Haddonfield will host the State Fi-

nals for the first time. On April 11,dozens of Regional qualifyingteams of K-12 students will at-tempt to qualify for World Finalsto be held at Michigan State Uni-versity.

are all programs that challengeand inspire Haddonfield studentsto have fun, take risks and framechallenges while incorporatingscience, technology, educationand mathematics, as well as thearts. Students learn teamwork,patience, flexibility, persistence,

collaboration, communicationand innovation. Through this,they become 21st-century learn-ers and acquire the skills to suc-ceed as effective citizens, workersand leaders.

As a district, Haddonfield willcontinue its push for technologi-cal excellence. In 2014, Perry wasamong 110 school leaders fromacross the nation invited to a

White House summit on techno-

logical advancements in the class-room. In 2015, he and other invi-tees committed to mentoringneighboring school systems.

Technology is the great equal-izer, and a tool that can be used ininstruction to motivate studentlearning and promote student in-novation, creativity and leader-ship skills for a demanding andchallenging 21st century worldeconomy, Perry said. This inau-gural Superintendents Summit

was the first step in PresidentObama's and Education SecretaryArne Duncan's Vision for Educa-tion for the nation, and Haddon-field will play a critical role inmaking this vision become a real-ity.

Haddonfield has brought tech-nology into classrooms in variedways, according to Perry, includ-ing: adding a Mobile Apps Design

course at the high school; remod-

eling the high school media cen-ter to feature computer-focusedlearning; implementing BYOD(Bring Your Own Device) oppor-tunities at the middle school; cre-ating a Digital Citizenship courseat the middle school to teach stu-dents how to appropriately andresponsibly use technology in ac-ademic and recreational settings;arranging significant teachertraining in technology at all ele-mentary schools; and outlining

curriculum maps that detailwhat students should understandabout technology and how theyshould be able to demonstratemastery.

Utilities. He anticipates approvalin early 2015, with a hand-off ofthe system and payment fromNJAW to Haddonfield shortlythereafter. As of now, the timelineis looking like the Board of Pub-lic Utilities approval will be madeby February or March, with aclosing date and payment for the

system by late March or April.If all goes as planned, NewJersey American Water willbegin making several million dol-lars worth of improvements in2015, and the residents of Had-donfield should keep enjoyingsafe, clean drinking water andsanitary sewer services, just asthey have in the past, Kaskosaid.

NJAW will be paying $28.5 mil-

lion for the utilities, with $16 mil-

lion of that having to cover thedebt the borough invested intothe utilities. That leaves $12.5 mil-lion for the borough to use towardother projects. The borough mustmake sure the money goes towardborough debt. A few possibilitieshave been discussed, but therehas not been a decision as to howthe money shall be used.

The commissioners, andmany residents, have discussedhow to utilize these funds in a

general manner. Those uses in-clude payment of outstandingwater and sewer bonds, paymentof a portion of the boroughs gen-eral obligation debt, increasingannual spending on roads andother public infrastructure, andkeeping property taxes flat.These, and other possible uses,will be discussed thoroughly andopenly, with plenty of taxpayerinput, Kasko said.

There are many other projects

that are planned to be done in2015, according to Kasko. Therewill be a redevelopment plan forthe Bancroft contract, renova-tions to the library, the paving ofGrove Street and an examinationof potential improvements to theboroughs zoning ordinances.

We will be reviewing whatroad and stormwater projectsmight be feasible in the future.We will have continued budget-ary challenges in 2015, including

the costs for salaries, health bene-fits and retirees.As mayor, I will also be unveil-

ing a government efficiency andaccountability project in 2015,Kasko said.

Those details will be revealedeither at the commissionersmeeting on Tuesday, Jan. 13 atBorough Hall or the 42nd Annual
