    Mu l  c h  S  pe  c i  a l  s S  pr i n  g 201 5  By ZANE CLARKThe SunSeveral weeks ago, the

    Voorhees Township Committeeintroduced five bond ordinancestotaling a little more than $3.7million, and at the committee’sApril 27 meeting, it approvedthose ordinances after holdingpublic hearings on each.

    The ordinances approved at themeeting include bonds for roadimprovement projects, improve-ments to township grounds andbuildings, the purchase of vehi-cles and equipment for the town-ship, as well as the purchase of sewer utility equipment and costsfor sewer improvement andmoney for the installation of traf-fic signals.

    According to Township Admin-istrator Larry Spellman, thebonds come on the heels of the re-

    cently passed 2015 municipalbudget, which kept municipalproperty taxes flat, and the ordi-nances were passed with no is-sues and no members of the pub-

    lic speaking.The largest of the bond ordi-

    nances passed totaled nearly $1.45million and was for various town-ship vehicles, including a senior-citizen bus, a street sweeper, acompressed natural gas trashtruck, a diesel lawn mower withattachments for the parks depart-ment and six police cars.

    Another of the larger bond or-

    dinances passed totaled nearly$1.4 million for the township’sfive-year road program, which in-cludes improvements to BatteryHill Drive, Hollybrook Way, Bar-bet Drive, Bronwood Drive,Poplar Avenue, Great Oak Road,Camden Avenue, Laurel Road andLas Brisas Boulevard.

    Other ordinances totaled$420,000 for sewer improvements,including the reconstruction of pumps at the Main Street andEvergreen pump stations, and

    $343,000 for grounds improve-ments, include grading anddrainage improvements to Con-nolly Park and Rabinowitz Field.

    In other news:• The Voorhees Township Com-

    mittee approved two resolutionsthat would continue shared serv-ice agreements between the town-ship and the Voorhees TownshipSchool District and Eastern Cam-den County Regional School Dis-trict in which the Voorhees Town-

    ship Police Department wouldcontinue to perform communitypolicing in and around the schoolentities.

    Spellman said the agreementsstarted several years ago andallow for officers to be present ateach of the township’s schoolsand at Eastern High School aswell.

    Spellman said the programshave been successful, and he did-n’t see a reason why they would-n’t continue for years to come.

    It’s no secret that health insurance

    is expensive. Thanks to Oba-

    macare, health insurance is more

    obtainable for Americans, but for most

    of us, the cost of health insurance – 

    especially through employer-spon-

    sored plans – continues to rise.

    There’s nothing that we, or our em-ployers, can do about it, unfortunately.

    Now that we are required to have

    health insurance, we can’t just say,

    “screw it, I’ll take a chance and have

    no insurance.” We are required to pay

    up...and up and up and up.

    So what can we do? What is in our

    control? The obvious answer: Our

    health.

    The healthier we are, the less likely

    we will need to use our health insur-

    ance. And the less we need to use our

    health insurance, the more likely the

    cost of our health insurance will go

    down in the future.Take a look at your health insur-

    ance plan, and at others that those

    around you have. Most likely, there are

    incentives for living a healthy lifestyle.

    Join a gym, go three times a week, and

    you get a discount on said gym mem-

    bership. Why? Because the healthier

    we are, the less it costs to insure us.

    Getting healthier starts at home,

    with the food we eat. And the food that

    is available for us to eat is getting bet-

    ter all around us.

    A great place to start for healthier

    options is a local farmers market.

    They’re popping up everywhere, if 

    you haven’t noticed.

    There are farm markets every-

    where, and there are also countless

    farm stands and farmers market spe-

    cial events that take place from spring

    through fall.

    Never been to a farmers market? It’sworth the trip. Not only can you buy

    fresh, local produce that is often

    cheaper than the supermarkets, you

    can also get great ideas and lessons on

    how to use the products you buy.

    In addition to learning more about a

    healthy lifestyle, and purchasing

    goods that can help you do so, visiting

    a local farmers market is also a nice

    change-of-pace for the summer.

    So get up, go out and support local

    farmers and stores by visiting your

    local farmers market. It will be well

    worth the trip, now and in the future.

    in our opinion

    Want cheaper health insurance?Get healthy  – and start at a local farmers market

    Eastern celebrates 50 yearsOn May 6, Eastern Regional

    High School will celebrate 50years of excellence in educationwith a special program at 6:30p.m. in the school’s PerformingArts Center.

    Eastern has come a long way inthe last five decades. In the begin-ning, there were oak trees, laureland crickets in the leaves. At firstglance, one would think of aquiet, undisturbed forest inhabit-ed only by small furry animalsand birds. Fifty acres of thiswooded lot would eventually beput to use as a high school.

    In the early 1960s, Berlin Bor-ough, Gibbsboro and VoorheesTownship had educational con-cerns. Berlin students were beingtransported to either Overbrookor Edgewood High Schools.Voorhees and Gibbsboro studentswere being sent to either Haddon-field or Collingswood HighSchools. Neither the parents norstudents were happy and it wasdecided that action had to be

    taken.Ernest Scheiber, then the Cam-

    den County superintendent of schools, appointed a temporaryschool board of 11 members totackle this dilemma. Reigningfrom June 12, 1963 until Feb. 4,1964, the temporary school boardset the stage and built a firmfoundation for the election of fu-ture board members. The threecommunities were joined togeth-er to form a secondary-school re-gion, and plans for a high schoolwere developed. An elected boardof nine was assembled and it pro-

    posed a bond referendum for thepublic to consider. The citizens of the three communities approvedthe referendum and a new highschool was born.

    Groundbreaking was held inthe late spring of 1964 and theoriginal $1.7 million building wascompleted in September 1965.Opening with 35 faculty membersand 495 students, Eastern HighSchool’s first year included only

    freshmen,sopho-mores and

     juniors.The sen-iors wereallowed tofinishtheir finalyear in theschoolthey hadbeen at-tending.The firstyear

    Easternhad allfourgrade lev-els, the student population

     jumped to 675. Seven years later,the school size doubled and nowhas a student population of ap-proximately 2,100. The certifiedstaff has increased significantly,

    totaling more than 175 today.The original curriculum in-

    cluded very basic courses withonly one level of English and his-tory offered. The language de-partment taught Spanish,French, German and Latin. Thescience department offered thebasics in general science, biology,chemistry and physics. Mathe-matics was divided into generalmath I and II, technical math, al-gebra I and II, geometry, and acourse called Fourth Year Math.

    Eastern’s curriculum haschanged significantly since the1960s and now offers more than250 courses, including 21 ad-vanced placement programs, aswell as other college preparatorycourses, as well as studies in thefine, practical and performingarts. Curriculum is taught instate-of-the-art learning facilities.

    Many organizations were start-

    ed when the school first opened.Several of these groups havewithstood the test of time and arestill maintained today. They in-clude the marching band, studentcouncil, National Honor Societyand competitive sports.

    The original sports programhad only freshman and juniorvarsity levels of competitionuntil the first senior class was in-cluded. Fall sports recognizedcross-country, football and fieldhockey. Winter sports included

    boys’ basketball, wrestling and alimited girls’ basketball programthat did not engage in leaguecompetition. Spring heraldedboys’ track and baseball. Today,Eastern’s athletic program totals26 varsity level competitive sportsteams, including Eastern’s fieldhockey team, which has won 16consecutive New Jersey Group IVState Championships dating backto 1999 and has long been recog-nized as a national power.

    The original physical plant of the school has had two additions.The first was built in 1970 at acost of $495,000 and the second in1975 at a cost of $3.7 million.

    In 2003, the sending districts

    approved the addition of sixclassrooms, five science laborato-ries, a technology classroom, ateacher’s room and restrooms to

    the Intermediate High School viaa bond referendum. As part of thereferendum, additional space wasadded to the Intermediate HighSchool cafeteria, and an updatedphysical education complex wasconstructed. This complex nowhouses a state-of-the-art weightroom, an athletic trainer’s officeand treatment area, two coaches’rooms and a meeting room.

    In September 2013, the Inter-mediate and Senior High Schoolswere combined to form EasternRegional High School.

    Technology in the early dayswas limited to manual typewrit-ers, adding machines and primi-tive calculators. Today, Easternboasts a state-of-the-art televisionstudio used to inform studentsand the general public of eventsand programs. Students havemoved from using only textbooksand periodicals for informationto computer-based workstationsand laptops with wired and wire-

    less Internet access to broadentheir research horizons. The dis-trict maintains 11 computer labs,700 desktops, 700 iPads and 240laptops.

    Eastern’s first students chosethe Viking as the school’s mascot,along with the school’s colors of cardinal, navy and white. Overthe years, students and staff haveproudly worn the school’s colorsand called themselves Vikings.

    The Eastern athletic programis one of the finest in the Olympic

    Conference and in the state of New Jersey. The school’s 26 boys’and girls’ athletic teams are sup-ported by some of the best facili-ties available. The football, fieldhockey, soccer, lacrosse, baseballand softball teams are providedthe opportunity to play “underthe lights.” In addition, the foot-ball, field hockey, soccer andlacrosse fields, along with thebaseball infield, now feature“Field Turf.”

    In addition to its academic, ath-letic and arts programs, Easternprovides more than 40 schoolclubs. Special events are still atradition at Eastern, includingthe annual Sophomore Cotillion,

    Junior Prom and Senior Prom.Student council continues to playa proactive role, providing leader-ship opportunities for students.

    Eastern has annually earned arating of “High Performing” bythe state Department of Educa-tion and is often cited as one of the state’s premier high schools.NEWSWEEK magazine, in com-piling its annual review of highschools throughout the country,selected Eastern Regional HighSchool as one of America’s “top”schools.

    As the mayor of Voorhees, Ihave been honored and privilegedto participate in 11 of Eastern’scommencement ceremonies. Twoof my greatest memories asmayor were presenting diplomasto my son, Matthew, and mydaughter, Marie, upon their grad-uation from this outstandingschool.

    On behalf of the TownshipCommittee and the Voorheescommunity, congratulations toEastern Regional High School forhelping mold the lives of thou-sands of our young people over

    the last half century.• The annual Animal Welfare

    Association Paws & Feet 5K Race& Doggie Fun Day is May 15 from9 a.m. to noon at the Cooper RiverPark, Pennsauken.

    The overall tax levy will in-crease by $466,736, exactly meet-

    ing the state-mandated 2 percentyear-to-year tax increase cap.

    Superintendent Harold Melle-by Jr. said he was happy to report

    that the district was able to main-tain all staffing, instructional pro-grams, athletics and student ac-

    tivities.“We’re able to maintain the

    programs that we’ve offered thisyear, and we've been very fortu-

    nate the last few years since 2010when we had all the budgets de-feated, as many budgets were de-feated in the state of New Jersey,”Melleby said. “We’ve been able tobuild some of our programs backand maintain them.”

    Also regarding athletics, thesports activity fee is budgeted toremain the same, at $125 per stu-dent or $250 per household, andno other fees are being added.

    Melleby said the district insti-tuted the fee about five years ago,as did many other school districtsat the time, and as a result of thefee, the district was able to raise

    about $90,000 in the last yearalone.

    A new position was also bud-geted for one special education

    teacher, based on the number of students registering for the 2015-2016 school year with individualeducation plans and growingneeds in the area of special edu-cation.

    Also in the budget are funds topurchase a new textbook seriesfor world languages.

    Several capital projects havealso been budgeted for, and at themeeting, district business admin-istrator Fred Wright went overthe projects in detail.

    The projects will be paid forusing surplus funds that were setaside as capital reserve money

    over a period of several years andwill not require any new moneyto be raised by taxes.

    Projects outlined by Wright in-

    clude the replacement of thebleachers in gymnasiums 2 and 4,replacement of stage lighting inthe auditorium, the constructionof a marching band and athleticsequipment storage building, thereplacement of a marching bandplatform, the construction of anoutdoor climbing wall, the re-placement of lights in the schoolparking lot and exterior of thebuilding, and the construction of a sidewalk in the school’s court-yard area.

    Wright said the bleachers donot have the proper railings tocomply with handicap accessiblerequirements and must be ex-tended and withdrawn manually,and the district has the fear thatan injury may occur, as thosepushing the bleachers have re-ported trouble lining up properly.

    The new bleachers will be elec-tric and will extend and withdrawby remote control.

    The new parking lot lights will

    be LED lights and will have an ex-pected 17-year life span, whichwould cut down on the necessityof the district renting a lift to re-place burnt out bulbs, as is thecurrent situation.

    The marching band and athlet-ics storage building would bebuilt using a wall already in placeat the end of the school’s parkinglot near the tennis courts. Thebuilding will allow the marchingband to store equipment muchcloser to where it practices.

    According to Wright, the out-door climbing wall is a trend vari-ous schools are starting to showinterest in, and was a request bythe physical education depart-ment for use in team-building ex-ercises.

    With the auditorium stagelighting, only six of the original16 color light scrollers are func-tioning, and they have been deter-mined to be past the point of re-pair.
