Operation Unity in the Community fills two buses with care packages for the military

At Medford’s A Rose in December florist, rain poured. But, dedicated volunteers couldn’t be stopped: They pulled on rain boots and got to work moving boxes filled with care packages into a yellow school bus. The event had a scheduled rain date, but that meant deployed military members would have to wait to get their box of comforts from Operation Yellow Ribbon (OYR). For OYR founder Dave Silver, that wasn’t an option. “It might be raining, but it’s actually sunny here,” Silver said to a crowd of volunteers. “We’re showing our brave men and women we will make the sacrifices and that we don’t forget them.” The March 28 event was the culmination of a months-long collaboration between Silver; A Rose in December owner December Shover; Lenape Regional High School District (LRHSD) bus drivers; and Christine and Eileen Dzwill, co-owners of The Honey Post restaurant in Medford Lakes.. Aptly named Operation Unity in the Community, the event resulted in enough care packages and financial donations

and others formed an assembly line to carry dozens of heavy care packages to two buses that quickly filled with boxes decorated by LRHSD’s Transition to Adulthood Program, tiny Amer-

ican flags and bags of comfort items like Girl Scout cookies and socks. On the volunteer line was Burlington County Commissioner Dan O’Connell, who handed

boxes to other volunteers from the steps of A Rose in December. “Burlington County is home to more veterans in New Jersey than anywhere else,” he said, noting the veterans in his family. “A lot of times they seem almost invisible to us, so anything we can do to raise the profile for them, I’m all in.” The collaboration got financial and physical donations from nearly 100 local businesses and organizations, including Bradley Funeral Home in Marlton, Murphy’s Markets, The Pop Shop and Dietz and Watson. Special T-shirts for the event featured emblems honoring the community’s donations. Ami Feller, an author from Voorhees, donated copies of her book, along with toiletries and other comfort items. She used to work for a veterans organization and came to the event to continue giving back. “They’re doing so much for us and keeping our society free,” Feller noted. An integral part of Operation Unity in the Community was the donation of buses coordinated by LRHSD driver Mary Jean Andl. “We’ve been working really hard,” she said. “It’s been please see SUPPLIES, page 8

THE TABERNACLE SUN — APRIL 7-13, 2021

‘It would be nice to have an event to get together’ Councilwoman Nancy McGinnis wants to celebrate March 22 as Tabernacle Day By ALYSSA BIEDERMAN The Sun When Tabernacle in the Wilderness, a tiny church located on what is now the township cemetery, was built in the 1770s, so was the community of Tabernacle. In its early days, Tabernacle

was in Shamong Township, but in the early 20th century, Tabernacle residents grew tired of Indian Mills’ overwhelming representation in local government. More than a century ago, Tabernacle applied to become its own township, spurring a culture of community pride that extends to the present day. In March, Tabernacle cel-

ebrated its 120th anniversary to little fanfare. In future years, Councilwoman Nancy McGinnis wants all residents to remember March 22 as Tabernacle Day. “I think it’d be great to get the council together and have a Tabernacle Day,” McGinnis noted. “We’re a sleepy town, and it would be nice to have an event to get together.” Historically, Tabernacle has always been a sleepy town, according to a history written by high schooler Viola Cutts in 1939. “There is hardly anything that could be called a recreation center in Tabernacle,” she wrote. “Mount Holly is only 12 miles away, and as most of the people have cars, it is an easy matter to seek recreation there, either in the theater or merely walking the street and meeting

acquaintances or window shopping.” Cutts’ history notes that most Tabernacle residents at the time came together at church, Parent Teacher Association Meetings, men’s lodges and a profitable bar called Pete’s Saloon. Despite being relatively remote, the town’s Pinelands location was a source of pride for many residents. Today, many people settle in the town to raise their families, but work elsewhere, according to Tabernacle Historical Society President Richard Franzen . “Previous stereotypes of Pineys perpetuated by the news media of bygone eras caused most people to look down on them,” wrote an unknown historian in the 1980s. “They were pictured as reclusive, illiterate, immoral and possibly feeble-

minded from family inbreeding by many who had never been to the Pinelands nor encountered a Piney. “Nowadays, most people are proud to trace their ancestry back to those hardy, industrious settlers who were hard-working far mers, merchants, blacksmiths and sawyers,” the historian continued. In its early days, Tabernacle had several township get-togethers, including an annual Harvest Home Picnic fundraiser that drew large crowds and a Memorial Day event that continues today. At present, Tabernacle’s community events are limited to the Memorial Day parade, Christmas tree lighting and celebrations at Seneca High School.

Seneca wrestling trio looks toward 100 career wins

MATTHEW SHINKLE/The Sun

Seneca wrestlers Kory Seidle, Nico Bogardus and Zach Borton (left to right) all finished their junior seasons last year in good position to reach the 100-career victory mark. However, a COVID-shortened season puts the possibility of reaching such a mark in question.

COVID-shortened season provides narrow pathway for area standouts to reach career milestone By MATTHEW SHINKLE Sports Editor

In preparation for the 20202021 sports seasons, the NJSIAA and various athletic conferences across South Jersey have done their best to coordinate COVID procedures and timelines that will allow each sport to get in a semi-normal year. In an effort to more easily separate student athletes and reduce the potential for virus cases among teams and schools, the start date for seasons and their length have been shuffled around and shortened.

While players and coaches are ecstatic to at least have a season this year in the midst of a pandemic, fewer games and matches mean fewer chances for standout athletes to reach career milestones. For Seneca High School wrestling head coach Greg Bauer, the feeling is all too real. “We have three guys on our team this year that could’ve gotten 100 career wins pretty easily with a normal schedule,” he said. “It was looking like a goal that would be pretty obtainable for them all this year, for their seniors’ years but, obviously,

COVID changed the structure of our season and it’s looking a lot more difficult now.” For a program with only two wrestlers in its history to have reached the 100-career victory mark, the opportunity to have three more added to the list — all in the same year — would have been monumental. Bauer, in the midst of his 18th year as head coach of the wrestling program, has been with Seneca since the school’s opening in 2003. While he heads the high school program, he’s also a coach with the township’s youth program as well, a role that has given him the

opportunity to see firsthand the growth and maturation of young men over the years. The team’s three seniors who entered the season with dreams of reaching the 100-career mark — Nico Bogardus, Zach Borton and Kory Seidle — serve as glowing endorsements of the youth program’s long-term vision of working with younger wrestlers to create leaders and young adults headed to Seneca. “All three of them have had real special careers here,” Bauer noted. “We have a solid senior class, but those three have really led the way in particular

… We love to see the kids succeed on and off the mat, so it’s frustrating as a coach and as a program when kids are that close to achieving a goal and, through no fault of their own, don’t have a fair shot at it.” Through their first three seasons with Seneca, Bogardus, Borton and Seidle racked up 81, 79 and 78 career wins, respectively. With a normal schedule, 20-plus win seasons might have been expected from the three seniors to get them into the program's exclusive 100-win club. But a COVID-shortened season that only permits 15 dual matches per team makes that possibility much more difficult. “It’s pretty frustrating … We've wrestled varsity since freshman year and we’ve always had that goal of 100 wins to get our names on the board in the wrestling room,” said Bogardus. “It stinks that we might not get there now, but we’ve just got to work hard and try our hardest to get there regardless.” After the team’s first seven matches, Bogardus and Borton are 6-1, while Seidle is 5-2, inching them closer to the milestone they’ve been chasing since freshman year. But with only eight regular season matches left on the schedule, postseason victories will be needed. “It’s definitely still possible, but a season like this makes it way more difficult,” Borton explained. While the trio works toward the 100 mark individually, their main focus as the season goes on is to provide the best example possible for the younger guys on the team and bring Seneca’s name as deep into the postseason as they can, while also enjoying their final year despite the challenges. “I was disappointed to see we were only allowed to have those 15 regular matches, because it’s been a goal for a while now, but at this point I want to get to regions, help our team wherever I can and be there for the younger guys,” Seidle said. ■
