New life: Revival of Boxwood Hall is in the works

By EMILY LIU

The Sun

After 10 years of uncertainty, the historic Boxwood Hall is being revived thanks to the recent purchase of the Haddonfield property by R & S Boxwood Hospitality LLC, a group led by resident Michael Pasquarello that will turn the site into a 10room inn.

The purchase agreement was approved by county commissioners on April 8 and the property was sold for $200,000.

“I think it’s an exciting project; we really looked to make use of the dilapidated property that we inherited,” said Mayor Colleen Bianco Bezich at an April 15 commissioners meeting. ” … While the purchase price may seem underwhelming to some people, it will finally make productive use of a property that no one has offered us any use for, and I think it will be a really great addition to the downtown with the ability to stay over.”

The property sits across from the borough library and close to downtown, another possible draw for the future inn.

“Part of this is, you’re public facing to the library, you’re public facing to the downtown … wanting to make this a destination,” the mayor noted. “If we’re celebrating wellness or the music festival, of course we

hope people will see this as a natural stop …

“From the borough’s perspective, this is a public partnership.”

In addition to the 10-room inn, there are also plans to revitalize the grounds by planting native plants and food to be served in a restaurant the group wants to house inside the property’s rear cottage. They also hope to have a pool on site and 10 parking spots.

The 1.4-acre Boxwood Hall was constructed in 1799 by

John Estaugh Hopkins, a grand nephew of Haddonfield founder Elizabeth Haddon Estaugh, according to the request for proposal submitted by the borough.

“We’re going to engage with a designer, our locals in town, our buffs on this, and the goal is to see to it that it feels and looks like it did at that time, with the interior comforts and modern amenities that someone would need in order to stay here,”

Pasquarello explained, describing the feel of the inn the group

wants to create.

The property is made up of three sub-areas that include the main house, the cottage and open space. It was used as a residence until it was sold in 1965 and became office space. It was in 2014 that the borough bought the space for $1.8 million, “to settle litigation related to the affordable-housing obligations that were to be imposed upon a proposed 33-unit apartment building on the site,” according to a borough press release.

A group of residents formed the Boxwood Arts Committee and proposed a 365-seat theater with a multi-purpose space below and a gallery for Markeim Arts Center. But in 2018, the group announced it could not proceed with the plan because the ground conditions didn’t qualify for that use.

Bianco Bezich then proposed a single, five-unit residential building, but the idea was poorly received by residents and deemed too costly, both financially and in the length of time it would take to build.

Pasquarello – a borough resident who owns Cafe Lift in town – emphasized the importance of keeping Boxwood Hall as it is, but noted that there would not be additions or modification in his group’s plan.

“As a resident, I, like all the other residents of Haddonfield, really appreciate the historic nature of our downtown,” he explained. “As a group in our hospitality world, we take pride in taking the history that’s within a property and representing it in its new activation, so we’re really excited to reactivate the property, promote its cultural and historical tourism and allow (its) past to contribute to its future.”

The developers are now in a 90-day due diligence period, so further details on the timing of the project were not available.

Antique manual typewriters from the first half of the 20th century will remain on exhibit at the Historical Society of Haddonfield’s Greenfield Hall through Monday, Sept. 30. Four are of American manufacture; three are German.

One of the German typewriters has punctuation keys with German and French usage. Information panels describe the typewriter time line, parts of these manual machines, pictures of early prototypes and the origin of the QWERTY key system. Interest in the manual typewriter has made a substantial comeback.

The individual weights of these manual writers range from 9 pounds for the little Corona #3 which folds up to fit in its box to 34 pounds for The Iron Butterfly by Oliver, Chicago.

Public hours at Greenfield Hall are Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. Other hours are by appointment. For more information contact the Historical Society of Haddonfield at 856-429-7375 or info@haddonfieldhistory. org.

Meeting the educational needs of children with autism

Arecent event at a Voorhees school to promote support for autism education featured music from a local DJ.

Nothing unusual there, except the guy choosing the tunes was diagnosed with autism at 3 years old. The April 18 gathering of families and other guests – a day of ice cream and water ice called a Super Scooper event – raised more than $2,000 for special needs classrooms at Kresson Elementary.

Its planners envisioned a family-friendly gathering for children and adults to learn about and better understand autism.

“We wanted everyone to leave not just with happy memories of the day, but also with a deeper understanding of what it means to live with autism,” said Julie Calem, a member of the school’s Parent Faculty Association Board.

Living with autism and providing music at the school event was Nick Tyson, a native of Marlton who honed his skills at the International DJ Café in Pennsauken, according to a 2016 article in the Courier-Post. At 11, he learned mixing on a system that was a Christmas gift from his parents.

“He picked it up on his own,” his dad told the newspaper. “There’s been no formal training. Put that thing down in front of him and he figured it out.”

The school event coincided with April as Autism Awareness Month and highlighted the need for understanding and educational support of those on the spectrum.

Autism is a complex brain disorder that often strikes before the age of 3 and inhibits a child’s ability to communicate, respond to surroundings and form relationships. About 40% of children with autism do not speak or stop speaking after 12 to 18 months,

according to the World Health Organization.

About one in 270 people around the world are on the autism spectrum, which includes Asperger’s syndrome and other developmental disabilities.

As for their educational support, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997 ensures that all children with disabilities are guaranteed a free and appropriate public education to meet their needs and prepare them for living independently.

So what is an appropriate public education?

Before the Disabilities Education Act came about, disabled children were often placed in segregated classrooms, without any specific measures to respond to their special needs. As of the 2022-’23 school year, approximately 12.81% of students with disabilities are identified as having autism, with state-by-state percentages ranging from 5.76% to 17.28%, according to the federal Department of Education.

Measures to improve those numbers, according to the National Education Association, include collaborating with families and caregivers, as well as educational support personnel, in an IEP (Individualized Education Program); understanding student learning styles and needs; and adapting lessons and units.

More specifically, education for autistic students could include a general-education classroom, a resource classroom, a special education classroom or an autistic-only setting in a school, according to verywellhealth. com. Some autistic kids can thrive in an inclusive class setting, while others are better in more tailored settings.

The bottom line is that education needs to be structured for children with autism.

“If a child cannot learn in the way we teach,” said the late Dr. O. Ivar Lovass, a pioneer in developing autism therapies, “we must teach in the way the child can learn.”

New Haddonfield report card standards will go to a vote

By EMILY LIU

The Sun

The Haddonfield board of education received updates on new elementary-school, standard-based report cards that will be voted on later this month; heard results of the elementary math pilot program; and approved a district budget for the 2024-’25 school year, all at its last meeting in April.

“While our current report cards were useful, we wanted to improve consistency,” explained Shannon Simkus, principal of Central Elementary School. “In addition, parents often needed clarification about the previous

system because it’s not an ABC grading system, it’s a 1-2-3 system.”

One is for developing proficiency, 2 means a student is approaching the standard, 3 means the student has met the standard and E means exceedingd the standard. Simkus and Gerry Bissinger, principal of Elizabeth Haddon Elementary, explained why the ranking went from 4 to an E.

“When we had it 1 to 4, you were expected to get the 4, but E is exceeding expectations,” said Simkus. “We don’t expect the students to be there, we expect them to be meeting the targets by the end of the school year.”

Progress toward standards does not include factors like student effort, participation, work habits or soft skills; those are included in a separate report card section called 21st Century Skills.

A blank template of the re-

port cards is expected to be shared with parents this summer, with a parent presentation at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24, at the Haddonfield Middle School auditorium. The vote will be finalized during a May board of education meeting.

Math Content Area Supervisor Matthew DiDonato updated the K-5 math pilot and said the district has chosen i-Ready Classroom Mathematics as its new math curriculum. The program includes resources for parents, progress checks and homework with access to solutions. From student survey results, DiDonato found that 97% of i-Ready students said they speak up in class and share their ideas almost always or often.

“That’s not what math looked like when I was in school,” DiDonato revealed. “It’s the same thing I see in the classrooms. You can walk into a classroom and you’re

just so surprised by the maturity by which students are speaking about math.

“I was completely blown away consistently when I was in these rooms.”

The math program also has an online component that 93% of students said has helped improve their math skills. It is expected to be fully implemented – with ongoing training and support – starting in September and through June 2025, with teacher training this May and August.

The program will cost $67,500 annually for its classroom and personalized instruction, as well as an initial $19,800 for professional training. DiDonato added that the district would save just over $23,000 because it would no longer use the math programs IXL or Reflex, which would overlap with the i-Ready materials.

The board has approved

a district budget with a proposed tax levy for the 2024-’25 school year of $41,030,625, a $1,148,602 increase over last year. For every $100,000 in assessed home value, Haddonfield residents will pay approximately $1,833 in property taxes to support the schools. The total tax rate for this year is 0.018331, a 1.55% increase from last year.

“You may be thinking, you just told me the tax increase on the levy is 2.88%, but the general fund increase percentage is 1.85%,” said board member Michael Catalano. “How is that? That’s because the tax levy isn’t the only thing changing. The valuations of the municipality increased, so naturally, the effective tax rate doesn’t go up at the same rate that you are raising the tax levy.”

A full budget hearing is available on the district’s YouTube channel.

For Penn and Teller, mirth, magic and mayhem to come

By CHUCK DARROW

The Sun

Penn Jillette and his professional partner, who goes by the single name Teller, have been working together for almost 50 years. But despite the natural toll aging takes on the human body, and Teller’s 2018 spinal-fusion surgery, the finish line is nowhere in sight for the Las Vegas-based duo whose singular blend of magic and comedy – with a bit of premeditated chaos thrown in – has arguably made the most entertaining show business act of the past half century.

“You know, one thing that’s so odd is that nobody, as they get older, starts writing more stuff. But we’ve been doing that. We’ve written more stuff, certainly in the past five years than we’ve written in any other five-year period of our career,” offered Jillette during a recent phone chat occasioned by the team’s May 16 and 17 dates at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.

One reason for their prodigious creative output, he reasoned, is that each episode of their popular, 10-year-old CW series, “Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” features a segment in which they perform. “But it’s also that we have a lot of crazy ideas we want to do in front of people. And, it’s really fun. I mean, most magicians write about 20 to 25 tricks in their career, and we’ve done 180.”

That’s not to mean that Jillette, 69, who hails from Western Massachusetts, and Center City Philly native Teller (his legal name for years), 77, haven’t ceded some ground to Father Time. For instance, Jillette—who is the tall one who

does all the talking during their act—spoke of one type of trick they pretty much have retired.

“When I was young–which I can barely remember–I saw The Amazing Randi do a ‘milk can escape’ when he was about 50. He was perfectly healthy to do it. He was great to do it. But

there are just certain things, as you get older, that don’t feel right.

“So there are a lot of tricks that we’re still capable of doing that we don’t do because they just don’t vibe out right. I don’t think that once you’re over 50, you can really do escapes. I always kind of thought, well,

if ‘Saturday Night Live’ had someone [President] Biden’s age playing Biden, would that be better?’ I think the answer is no. And I think the same thing for magic. There’s something very, very sexy about a 25-yearold man being tied up and escaping, and that’s just not true for someone over 50, 55 or whatever.”

Of course, this being Penn & Teller, they found a workaround.

“The whole idea was we’re too old to do escape, so we escaped from rocking chairs,” he recalled about a sequence they created. “It worked very well. We’re just writing stuff that’s more appropriate to our age.”

As Jillette noted, he and Teller have devised and performed an astonishing 180 tricks during their time together. When asked to identify those of which he is especially proud, he didn’t hesitate before responding.

The first bit he mentioned was the one in which an audience member is brought on stage and is transformed into Teller.

The second one is their celebrated “bullet catch” illusion that had them simultaneously firing bullets into each other’s mouths. According to Jillette, a survey of critics voted it the greatest magic trick of all time.

Nonetheless, you won’t be seeing it at Hard Rock, nor at Rio Hotel & Casino where the team has conducted Las Vegas’ longest headliner residency since January 2001, or at any other venue. That, he explained, is because of the divisiveness the politicization of guns has created among Americans.

Another source of pride for Penn & Teller is “Fool Us,” a weekly series in which ma-

gicians perform illusions in hopes of stumping the pair as to how they did them.

“We are by far, and I mean by a factor of two or maybe three, the longest-running show on The CW,” he bragged. “And, it’s really great, because we’ve gotten to see such changes in magic in just that short period of time.

“We obviously can’t book the acts that come on because that wouldn’t be fair. But we can give a generic push, and we would tell the producers every year, get people in that do not look like us. “Magic should not look like us. For a hundred years, magic has looked like us. It’s looked like middle-aged white guys, cis males who at least pass as heterosexual. And we want that to stop.

“A few years ago, we had a season where we had five women on, women who were not doing like a witch or dominatrix act, and were not assistants and were not part of a team, but five solo women who were dressed like men would be: Normally and not overly seductively. And all five of them fooled us.

“I think that needs to be noted. It was just a different way of thinking. We’ve had people who identify as every race. We had [a contestant] on last year who transitioned gender between their first appearance and their second. They came one year as a man and three years later as a woman.

“And very proudly, we’ve already had like four people on the show who started magic because they saw ‘Fool Us,’ and then came on and fooled us,” Jillette said. “And that’s pretty wonderful, you know? That feels pretty great.”
