Peters and Stanfield Defeat Opponents in Hotly Contested Primary; But Win Is Overshadowed by Independent Candidate Entering Race

By Douglas D. Melegari Staff Writer

MOUNT HOLLY—A hotly contested 8th Legislative District Republican Primary for General Assembly ended early Tuesday night with Burlington County Republican Committee-backed candidates Assemblyman Ryan Peters and nowformer Burlington County Sheriff Jean Stanfield declaring a decisive victory over their opponents, Assemblyman Joseph Howarth and local attorney R. Jason Huf. Stanfield was the top vote-getter in the

race, receiving 5,293 votes, while working for Howarth’s reelection Peters, her running mate, got 5,224 campaign, filed as an votes. Howarth only earned 2,680 Independent candidate for 8th More Elec votes with Huf coming in dead tion District General Assembly Coverage last at 1,947 votes.

PEMBERTON BOROUGH—Hanover Street, one of two main thoroughfares that run through the Borough of Pemberton, is scheduled to be closed for about six months, beginning this weekend, to allow for a bridge replacement.

The Hanover Street Bridge, built in 1932, which carries Hanover Street over the Rancocas Creek’s north branch, is scheduled for replacement by Burlington County following several temporary emergency repairs to it over the past few years.

The replacement project start date has been pushed back a number of times over the last several years, but this time traffic message board trailers have been posted in the area warning motorists that the structure will be closed to vehicular traffic beginning on or about June 7.

“The road will be closed on each side of the bridge, while access to the Goodwill Fire Company will be maintained from the south,” said Nicholas Gangemi, a public information officer for Burlington County. “The road will be reopened to vehicular traffic in December 2019.”

He added that additional work at the project site will be performed after the road is reopened, with the expectation that all work will be completed in May 2020, except for the removal of steel pilings from the creek, which will be completed in July 2020.

The project costs, Gangemi said, are being federally funded through the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s Division of Local Aid and Economic Development, except the design and permitting for the replacement See BRIDGE/ Page 31

Region’s Craft Brewers Less than Effervescent Over State’s Revised Edict Governing Industry

By Bill Bonvie Staff Writer

TRENTON—A new directive governing the activities of New Jersey’s fledgling craft brewing industry, intended to replace a controversial one issued last September by former Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Division Director David P. Rible, was met with a less-than-effervescent reception this past week from a couple of small brewery operators who have set up shop in area communities since such establishments were legalized seven years ago.

“I guess ‘disappointment’ is the best word,” said Sean Galie, co-owner of Medford Township’s Lower Forge Brewery and a leading critic of the previous edict, in describing his reaction to the new “Special Ruling with changes that address industry concerns” released on May 28 by Acting ABC Director James B. Graziano.

“There are a lot of bad ideas from last fall that are back and a lot of restrictions on our business that really feel very arbitrary,” Galie told the Pine Barrens Tribune. “I don’t think regulators are going to fix this.”

The enactment of new legislation now appears to be the only way that craft breweries in the state will be able to conduct their operations without being hindered by such constraints, he said.

Concurring with that sentiment was Geoff Bado, the founder of Zed’s Beer at 19 N. Maple

Ave. in Marlton.

“I believe the only path we have left is legislation,” he said in a brief interview with this newspaper while serving participants at a Democratic primary night rally his establishment hosted on June 4.

Bado added that he was “pleased that many of the ambiguities which have caused much discussion have been defined,” in that breweries are allowed to show sports, to have events, and to bring in food.

“But the restrictions regarding what breweries are able to do regarding marketing those events to new consumers are disturbing,” he contended. “Many of them seem arbitrary.”

Bado said he thought that was because ABC officials “refuse to acknowledge there are different designs and different models of breweries that can be successful” and that it was within the director’s right to have chosen “a different path” had he wanted to.

The Division, according to a press release from spokesperson Lisa Coryell, “drafted the new ruling after an extensive outreach effort to meet with industry leaders, individual craft brewery owners, members of the Legislature, and others” whose objections led it to suspend the previous Special Ruling at the beginning of October following an acknowledged “backlash from the industry.”

“We spent months meeting with stakeholders and listening to their concerns, especially the

very few, very vocal licensees who felt their views were not adequately represented in the extensive stakeholder discussions we held prior to drafting and issuing the first Special Ruling,” the press release quoted Graziano as saying. “The Special Ruling issued today includes important changes that address key issues raised in these recent discussions. The changes made are intended to help craft breweries promote their products and build their business while continuing to balance the concerns of other licensees and ensuring compliance with state law.”

Under the new edict, small brewing operations would still be subject to a 25-peryear limit on “special events” that the previous ruling imposed on them. However, it contains “new language” that defines such events as “only those that are promoted through the media or that provide entertainment in the form of live championship sporting event broadcasts, live amplified music or DJ performances.”

This means that many activities that were subject to the 25-per-year “special event” limit, such as trivia/quizzo, craft making, animal-adoption events, yoga or similar types of classes, “will not be counted” as special events unless they are “advertised or promoted in the media,” according to the division’s press release on the directive (which still had Rible’s name at the top).

Judge Approves Deborah’s Request to Drop Lourdes’ Oversight of SED, Giving Green Light to Capital Health

By Bill Bonvie

cooperate in good faith and exercise their best efforts, as expeditiously and quickly as possible” to facilitate the new arrangement.

“Capital Health, a well-respected and toprated acute-care hospital system, brings its expertise in emergency services to the SED, ensuring a seamless transition in patient care and emergency medical operations,” noted the press release from Deborah announcing the transition.

The release quoted Joseph Chirichella, Deborah’s president and CEO, as saying that “the community, and Joint Base McGuireDix-Lakehurst, will benefit from this range of specialized services which Capital Health will bring to its strategic partnership with Deborah.”

He also noted that the two organizations have entered into a larger partnering agreement to expand access to the specialized services offered by each hospital in their greater service areas.

“First and foremost, we could not have found a better partner to operate the SED,” said Chirichella in the press release. “Capital Health’s experience makes them ideal to assume the emergency-department- operations management.

For the past ten years, patients have come to expect a high level of service and care. We are pleased that they will continue to receive this high level of medical care under a seamless transition.

More importantly, our strategic partnership with Capital Health will open the doors to specialty services in our area and on our campus, services that are needed in the community. Our

PEMBERTON—Capital Health will shortly assume operation of Deborah Heart and Lung Center’s satellite emergency department (SED), located on the hospital’s Browns Mills campus, thanks to the partial resolution of a court case brought by Deborah against its longtime provider of emergency-room services, Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County.

The SED will be renamed Capital Health Emergency Department at Deborah as of June 30, when Lourdes terminates its contract with Deborah, according to a press release issued by Deborah, which is Burlington County’s only fully licensed cardiac center.

Deborah’s change of partners came about as a result of the planned acquisition of Our Lady of Lourdes Health Care Services Inc., including Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County in Willingboro, by Virtua Health Inc., a proposal which Deborah claimed in a lawsuit violated the terms of a decade-old agreement it had with Lourdes prohibiting the latter from entering into a merger with another provider of cardiology services in the county—and especially Virtua.

A court order issued on May 30 by Superior Court Judge Paula T. Dow , which authorized the dissolution of the partnership between Deborah and Lourdes, cleared the way for Capital Health to take over the SED—something that Deborah cannot do on its own under the law governing health-care facilities due to its status as a specialty hospital.

The order calls on all three parties to “fully

Veteran Woodland Committeeman Seemingly Defeated by 12-Year Resident

Ruling on Lourdes-Virtua Merger Still Awaited

See REQUEST/ Page 30

WOODLAND —Longtime Republican Woodland Township Committeeman Matthew Henrich, who also served as mayor of the municipality from 2011 through the first few days of 2018, has been apparently defeated by resident and GOP-backed challenger Derrick Daniels.

“Anytime someone is able to win against an incumbent I believe it is an upset,” Daniels told the Pine Barrens Tribune Wednesday after seemingly defeating Henrich by 26 votes, 192 to 166. An unknown number of mail-in ballots might possibly have been outstanding by this newspaper’s deadline time due to a new state law.

Daniels, a 12-year resident of the Chatsworth

section of Woodland, attributed his victory to the “hard work of the people” who were around him and the “good people of Woodland Township voting the way they felt.”

“I just believe we won because we went and tried to reach out to every single person and used as much face-to-face contact as we could,” he said.

Jesse Estlow, executive director of the Burlington County Republican Committee and a Woodland resident, said Wednesday night that Daniels worked hard to win the primary.

“He had a game plan and executed it to perfection,” Estlow said.

Tabernacle Committee Race Undecided; Candidates Await Official Results

By Douglas D. Melegari Staff Writer

TABERNACLE—The June 4 Tabernacle Township Committee Republican Primary race between incumbent Committeeman Joseph Yates IV, Emergency Management Coordinator Robert C. Sunbury and Nancy McGinnis, former co-owner of Nixon's General Store, is too close to call as of press time.

In an updated, unofficial vote tally released by the Burlington County Clerk’s Office around 5 p.m. on June 5, Sunbury pulled ahead of Yates and McGinnis, receiving 350 votes. However, Yates only received three more votes than McGinnis, 294 to 291.

Jack McGinnis, Nancy’s husband and

campaign manager, told the Pine Barrens Tribune Wednesday evening that “there are still provisional votes to be counted next week.”

He added that he believed his wife being put in Column 3 by the municipal Republican Committee resulted in her running a deficit in the latest vote tally.

Additionally, a recent change in state law allows mail-in-ballots to be counted by the Board of Elections if they are postmarked by Election Day and received within 48 hours of the election. That means some mail-in-ballots could still be outstanding and not reflected in the tally.

However, Nancy McGinnis, shortly after her See RESULTS/ Page 31

Huf Loses Bid in GOP Primary, But Still Hopes to Run Again

Photo By Janine Seeley

R. Jason Huf walks into John and Molly’s in Eastampton on Election Night for a quiet gathering with his campaign treasurer.

By Mark Hatoff

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

EASTAMPTON—Attorney and Lumberton resident R. Jason Huf said he realized that when he entered the GOP Primary for the 8th Legislative District General Assembly, winning one of the two spots would be a tall order, considering that he was not one of the two Burlington County Republican Committee-backed candidates and had not declared his candidacy until the last week of March.

However, despite finishing in last place among the district’s four Republican candidates (Assemblyman Ryan Peters, now-former Sheriff Jean Stanfield—both backed by the GOP—and third-place finisher Assemblyman Joe Howarth), Huf told this newspaper he felt that his efforts still produced some successes.

It was the first time running for elected office for the 46-year-old Huf, who is the founder of the New York-based Jason Huf International law firm and practices in commercial, corporate, banking and energy law with an emphasis on international transactions and foreign direct investments in the Middle East and global marketplace.

He chose a quiet gathering with his campaign treasurer and long-time friend Tony Porto (the former Mayor of Hainesport Township) at John and Molly’s in Eastampton as he awaited election results Tuesday night.

Democratic Challengers for 8th District Seats in Assembly Pledge to Give Contest Their All

By Bill Bonvie Staff Writer

MARLTON—If the enthusiasm generated at what was essentially a pep rally for the two “winning” Democratic 8th District Assembly candidates following the closing of the polls in the June 4 primary contest was any indicator, the GOP may have a tough battle ahead to retain the pair of seats it now holds in the Assembly come November.

Not that the primary was any real kind of initial contest for Gina LaPlaca of Lumberton and Mark Natale of Marlton, both attorneys who have been intrinsically involved in politics for some time. Their only opponent in the primary was 74-year-old Marlton resident Johnny Bravo, whose candidacy, based on a 35-year career as a “problem solver” with the Department of Defense, managed to garner 9.28 percent of the vote total.

Both, however, promised the Democratic Party leaders, family members and aides, including three members of the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders and various municipal officials, who gathered for a post-primary reception at Zed’s beer, a Marlton craft brewery, that they planned to campaign tirelessly and do everything they possibly could to prove worthy of their support.

“Mark and I promise you that between now and November 5, we will work our asses off to run a campaign that inspires you and to be candidates you can be proud of,” LaPlaca said.

In return, she urged those in attendance to “take the energy you have here tonight and hold onto it and keep it with you and use it to inspire your friends and your neighbors.”

LaPlaca also emphasized just how important it is for area residents to cast their ballots in the coming “off-year” general election.

“The things that really affect us happen in Trenton,” she maintained. “Lives are changed in Trenton—and things like the fiscal health of our state, the quality of the education our children receive, and I would daresay the very existence of the middle class in New Jersey are all at stake in this election. So please, keep that in mind, communicate with your networks, and we will help and inspire you.”

Natale, whose law career is dedicated to helping those who face sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace, remarked on how their “campaign gets to be a vehicle for a cause that is greater than all of us”—one for which many of those present had worked for years.

“I don’t need to reiterate the stakes in this election, the stakes of what is going on in our state and in our country,” he said. “But this election, more than any other, is about foundational choice—whether or not we want the politics of purpose or the politics of personal gain, whether we want to commit

ourselves to the working men and women of New Jersey or to the moneyed interests that control our state ...to building a better future together or desperately clinging to the status quo.

“Are we willing to work together to make progress or do we want to plant our flag on the hill of blind opposition? Those are the choices we want to bring to the voters. It goes beyond any particular policy issue of property taxes or school funding. It goes to what type of government you want and what type of government you deserve.”

The candidates’ expressions of commitment was matched by the exuberance of the opening remarks by Evesham Township’s Democratic Mayor Jackie Veasy and 7th District Assemblywoman Carol A. Murphy, who’s currently waging her own campaign for re-election.

After noting how “Evesham turned the tide last year” and “we couldn’t have done it without the support of all of you,” Veasy reminded the assembled party stalwarts how “we have to hit the ground running” and “make sure that we’re knocking on the doors, let them know these guys are the best ones to take over District 8 in November.”

Asserting that she was very proud to call LaPlaca and Natale her friends, Murphy related how much LaPlaca had done for the party and for the assembly office, helping the Democrats to go from being a minority caucus to a majority one in the Legislature.

“Gina was part of that, Gina was behind the scenes working on those issues,” she declared,

characterizing the candidate as “somebody who knows Trenton,” and adding that “we need more women being able to stand up here and get the ball rolling.”

Natale, Murphy said, was “one of very first people to step up and help me with my campaign” and “has been very instrumental in helping me succeed in some of the legislation I’m now doing.”

Bot h assembly ca nd id ates, Mu r phy maintained, “know what the issues are” and “know what it is that we need to accomplish here.”

“It’s about time we get more people to assure that Burlington county get its fair share of things,” she said.

Murphy also offered an answer to people who claim to be “against the establishment.

“Once you get elected, you a re the establishment—we are all the establishment,” Murphy said. “So when you talk about the establishment, that is a compliment in my eyes.”

Also singled out for praise was one particular elected official in attendance, 8th District state Senator Dawn Marie Addiego, who defected from the Republican party earlier this year, helping precipitate a rift between the two remaining GOP members of the 8th District delegation.

“It is great to know she is on our side working with us,” Murphy said of Addiego, eliciting a hearty round of applause, as did Natale when he made a point of thanking her along with other officials in the room.

Scoot’s Liquor Store to Hold Customer Appreciation Day

By Judy Cohen Minches For the Pine Barrens Tribune

SHAMONG—Randy Irick Worrell II is hoping for a big turnout on June 8 to celebrate Scoot’s Liquor Store’s 10th Anniversary, from 12 noon to 5 p.m.

He has a message for all who stop in, as well as for those who are unable to do so and read the Pine Barrens Tribune.

“I want to thank each of my customers for all their support over the last 10 years,” he said.

“They don’t have to come here, but they do.”

Worrell II said that while in the summer there is shore traffic that keeps business boom ing, local residents make all the difference year-round.

“If not for them, the doors would be closed,” he said.

Worrell II reflected on the origin of Scoot’s, when he was just 22 years old and was working in construction for his father, Randy Irick Worrell, owner of RTW Construction in Southampton.

It all started when he was driving home on Route 206 from a friend’s house on Atsion Road during the early morning hours in pouring rain and passed the liquor store called “The Vineyard.”

He saw a “for sale” sign on the property, prompting him to pull into its parking lot to write down the realtor’s contact information.

He told his father about it when he got home and, shortly thereafter, his dad became the proud owner of the liquor store with Worrell II the man in charge.

As for the change in name from The Vineyard to “Scoot’s,” Worrell II said that he and his dad chose the nickname “Scoot” for Worrell II’s brother, Dustin Worrell, as he used to “scoot” all over the place as a toddler.

Later this month, little “Scoot” will be getting married, Worrell II said proudly.

The storefront of Scoot’s Liquor Store in Shamong Township.

There is no doubt that this past decade has been laborious for the entire Worrell family, with long days—6 days a week, 12 hours a day in the peak of the busy season—but he is good with it. His bloodline includes three generations of dairy farmers in Southampton— going back to his great, great grandfather—in

the late 1800s, as well as his dad’s construction business, which will reach its 20th year milestone later this month.

“Hard work always pays off,” said Worrell II, echoing what his dad tells him, adding that he has learned that lesson from watching him, too.

“My dad is the hardest working man I know.”

Wor rell II said he thinks customers appreciate that Scoot’s is family-run and that, on any given day, they might see his wife (she worked in the store regularly before their son, Randy Worrell III, was born) and/or his See APPRECIATION/ Page 22

Pinelands Regional Superintendent Warns About Explicit Image-Sharing After Junior-High Student’s Arrest LITTLE EGG HAR BOR—Pinelands Regional School District Superintendent Dr. Melissa McCooley has urged parents of students in the district to counsel their children about the legal implications of posting salacious images they might receive of classmates on social media in the wake of a reported incident along those lines at Pinelands Regional Junior High School.

In a “Dear Families” letter posted online, McCooley referred to a situation in which a junior high student was charged by the Little Egg Harbor Police Department with posting an explicit video of a female classmate on social media.

“I am seeking your assistance to speak with your children due to the fact that multiple students have elected to repost this video,” she said. “Please understand that the student

ALL NATURAL… WHOLESOME GOODNESS

depicted in the video is 12 years old, therefore, this is classified as child pornography. Those reposting a video such as this could be subject to criminal charges as well.”

McCooley said it is evident that students need additional education regarding the ramifications of sending inappropriate messages/videos through social media. She added that she would be “reaching out to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office for assistance” with the matter and asked parents to speak to their children as well.

A spokesman for the prosecutor’s office confirmed that the matter was the subject of an ongoing investigation, but because the alleged perpetrator was a juvenile, no further details would be released.

McCooley told this newspaper she did not want to comment further on the matter.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Families Affected by Addiction Need Resources to Cope With Crisis I want to thank Third Congressional District Rep. Andy Kim for his recent town hall meeting on the opiate epidemic that has gripped this area.

Sadly, I couldn’t attend the town hall because I had to watch my four-yearold granddaughter. However, my family is one of millions in this country that have been impacted by the tragedy of addiction.

Resources are few and far between for families who have a member suffering

from addiction. Burlington County has expanded its “Straight to Treatment” program, which I am praying will help bring my loved one struggling with a substance abuse disorder into recovery.

This is just a small step in the right direction to bring resources to all local families.

Ad d ic t io n n o t o n ly a f fe c t s t h e individual addict; it affects families, including millions of children. The impact addiction has on entire families

has been largely overlooked.

Fam ilies need resources to ma ke their way through this horrible scourge.

I am relieved that my congressman is confronting this issue and wants to learn about it directly from those impacted.

I look forward to seeing his progress in this area.

EDITORIAL Even in the Coming Off-Year Election Your Vote Could Have a Huge Impact With votes now cast in the 8th and 9th Legislative District primaries, all eyes will soon turn to November’s General Election.

We would hope that mudslinging is kept at a minimum.

Instead, the candidates’ proposals for restoring school funding to local districts and Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) program contributions to local municipalities need to be front and center, and if they are against restoring the funding, they need to explain how residents will continue to receive quality services.

Elections have consequences, and this one in par ticular could ver y well deter m ine the su r vivability of some local school districts and municipalities. There is increasing talk

of consolidations and mergers—and even some proposals out there to do just that.

That could mean you may have to pay your taxes much further away than you do now, or send your child to a completely different school then the one they are attending currently.

As we reported a few weeks ago, Bass R iver Element a r y School’s superintendent said at a public meeting that there have been some preliminary discussions about having its students attend school in Woodland or Little Eg g H a r b o r t ow n sh ip s i n st e a d , particularly if the harsh funding cuts continue.

These are huge challenges, ones that require careful consideration of who we want representing us in Trenton.

PEMBERTON TWP. SENIOR CITIZEN COLUMN

Pemberton Honors Military Veterans Who Paid the Ultimate Sacrifice

By Ebba Liguori

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

PEMBERTON—A Memorial Day parade hosted by the New Jersey Disabled Veterans Chapter 27, Pemberton Township and the Pemberton Township Veterans’ Advisory Committee was held on May 27 in the Browns Mills section of the municipality, attracting a large crowd of residents, including hundreds of area seniors.

Barbara A. Fitzgerald, past commander of New Jersey Veterans of Foreign Wars District 11, served as the parade’s grand marshal.

Fitzgerald enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and served tours of duty in South Korea, Cuba, Germany, Italy and Kosovo.

Fitzgerald has been a past recipient of the U.S. Air Force Commendation Medal with two bronze oak leaf clusters, the U.S. Air Force Achievement Medal with two bronze oak leaf clusters, the U.S. Armed Forces National Defense Service Medal with one bronze oak leaf cluster and the U.S. Armed Forces Kosovo Campaign Medal. She also has earned the U.S. Armed Forces Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.

Currently, Fitzgerald is an active volunteer for the American Red Cross, March of Dimes and Habitat for Humanity non-profit organizations.

The Waldon University student and member of the Andrew Phillip Corbin Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10065 is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Human and Social Services.

Fitzgerald, who earned her bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University and got her associate’s degree from Rowan College at Burlington County, said she wants to continue to help disenfranchised individuals, especially veterans and youth.

The parade, which kicked off at Pemberton Township School District’s Stackhouse School, ended at Veteran’s Memorial Park on Trenton Road, where a commemorative service was held in remembrance of military personnel who perished while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

James Thompson, who served in in the U.S. Army’s all-black 24th Infantry regiment, known as the Buffalo Soldiers, was the guest speaker for the service. According to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, in 1866, the U.S. Congress created six all-black peacetime regiments, later consolidated into four––the 9th and 10th Cavalry, and the 24th

and 25th Infantry. The last segregated U.S. Army regiments were disbanded in 1951 during the Korean War, and soldiers were then integrated into other units.

Thompson enlisted in the military in 1948 and was initially assigned to the 371st Infantry battalion in Germany after training at Fort Dix. He was part of the first African American unit to go to South Korea and landed in Busan (formerly Pusan) in 1950. His unit secured the first victory on Korean soil, he said, before he was assigned to the 24th Infantry regiment.

Thompson was later wounded in action and hospitalized in Japan, before being brought back to the U.S. for treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He eventually returned to Germany following treatment for his injuries.

The former Green Beret later joined the Willingboro Township Police Department, where he retired after 20 years of service.

Thompson, a Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient, has been married for 63 years and is the father of four children and grandfather of ten grandchildren. He also has two greatgrandchildren.

Much of his speech reflected on his 21 years of military service and focused on the Buffalo Soldiers.

All Gold Star Mothers attending the ceremony were presented with flowers by Diane Smith, adjutant commander of New Jersey Disabled American Veterans Chapter 27.

Dr. Thomas J. Cathers Sr., vice commander of the New Jersey Disabled Veterans Chapter 27, served as master of ceremonies for the Pemberton Memorial Day events. Makenziy McClure, a talented vocal student at Pemberton Township High School, sang the National Anthem and “America the Beautiful,” while Isaiah Steele, also a student of the high school, played “Taps” on the bugle.

Additionally, Chief Kenneth “Strong Horse” Scales offered a Native American blessing during the ceremony, with incense and smoke.

The Pemberton Township Community Choir, along with a local church choir, sang “Amazing Grace” during a wreath-laying ceremony.

Other activities area seniors participated in recently included a May 30 trip to Hunterdon Hills Playhouse Dinner Theatre, located on 90 country acres in picturesque Hunterdon County.

The featured comedy at the dinner theatre that day was “Over the River and Through the

Woods,” performed by a cast of six.

The show began with “Nick,” a 29-year-old executive, who is offered a promotion at work, but must move to the West Coast to accept the job. The offer, which he considers his “dream job,” places him in a predicament as he spends every Sunday afternoon with both sets of grandparents in Hoboken. Upon learning of his promotion, his grandparents plot to keep Nick in New Jersey.

To this end, “Grandma Emma” introduces Nick to “Caitlin,” one of the many schemes carried out to keep her grandson in the state.

Caitlin is a desirable, single young woman.

Some interest develops between them to establish a more formal relationship, but it does not blossom.

The games that are played on Nick “Over the River and Through the Woods,” result in a hilarious family-friendly comedy of epic proportions. There were also many moments that every young person and every grandparent

could relate to.

During the playhouse visit, the seniors were comfortably seated in a grand dining room, custom built with a tiered seating arrangement, which allowed them to enjoy the show while eating a delicious meal. A dessert buffet that followed the main course had a multitude of choices.

After the dinner comedy concluded, seniors received an opportunity to explore a newly expanded fashion boutique at the playhouse.

A rea sen ior s, who enjoy energet ic performances throughout the course of the year, are already signing up for the next trip to see the live musical “Rock Around the Clock,” on June 26 at Pines Dinner Theatre in Allentown, Pa. Tickets are only $55. This excursion will be followed by another on July 11 for the viewing of “Mama Mia” at the Bucks County Playhouse.

Tickets are available at the Pemberton Township Senior Center, located on Brook Street, across from the Browns Mills U.S. Post Office.

an you think of one good thing about the person you are arguing with?

Whether this person is someone you consider an adversary or the person you have decided to spend the rest of your life with, thinking of something positive about the other person may allow you to bridge the gap and soften the differences you are having. It is also important to tell the other person that you value them and that you admire this good quality in them. We often forget to thank the people who are closest to us. Family

members often take each other for granted. Kids expect their parents to provide for them, and this leads to them rarely thanking Mom and Dad for the meals they provide, or for taking them to and from activities. Thank the people in your life for what they do, and be sure to notice the good that others do. Find at least one good quality in everyone you come in contact with every day, and build from there. This is a very simple and constructive way to build others up while strengthening our relationships. ~ Christopher Simon

Daniels added that he will be also trying to get the state to fully restore its Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) program contributions to the municipality by working with 8th Legislative District Republican Assemblyman Ryan Peters.

The state, in 1977, established the PILOT program to compensate municipalities for the loss of tax revenue due to the taxexempt status of state-owned property by providing annual payments. However, Former Republican Governor Chris Christie made drastic cuts to the program in 2010 and current Governor Phil Murphy has not yet moved to restore them.

Woodland has lost $246,000 per year in funding since 2010 and the township committee has proposed a tax levy increase of 22 cents in this year’s budget which would result in a local purpose tax increase of $560 on a home assessed at the township average of $256,000.

Henrich has repeatedly blasted Christie for reducing PILOT program contributions to Woodland. He has also led an effort on the township committee to look for alternative funding sources in light of the fact that the municipality has limited revenue due to declining ratables and Pinelands Commission building restrictions.

Henrich has spent the last few years urging his colleagues to do everything they can to develop a township-owned 101-acre tract on the south side of Route 72, bordering the New Lisbon Developmental Center and extending behind Romanza Pizza & Pasta.

The committee is currently awaiting the results of an endangered species study before possibly pursing age-restricted

housing on the lot.

“I believe in approaching it with a united front,” said Daniels, noting that he will seek every opportunity he can to talk with Murphy and Peters about why Woodland needs its PILOT funding back. “I just don’t feel that it has been a united front there (on the committee dais) and getting a group to move forward is important.”

Daniels, who identified himself as a local contractor, was referring to past public disagreements between Henrich, Mayor William “Billy” DeGroff and Deputy Mayor Mark Herndon when speaking of a divided front.

Recent primaries in Woodland have been very contentious. This one, however, saw primarily quiet campaigns. Brief outbursts included a disagreement over how much the Lenape Regional High School District raised taxes on Woodland residents within

the past several years, a last-minute scheduled campaign debate that ultimately got canceled and finger pointing over who was behind the purported disappearance of campaign signs.

Henrich, known for his fiery brand when d iscussing issues a ffecting Woodla nd residents and coming down hard on his rivals, notably became a lot more reserved with his words in recent months. He made very few public references to the 43-year-old Daniels during the campaign.

“I lived in Burlington County my whole life,” Daniels said. “I moved to Chatsworth because I just enjoy the area, the open space and the people who are out here.”

Henrich, who was placed in Column 3 on the ballot, did not return requests for comment on this story by press time.

Daniels was put in Column 1 due to the Burlington County Republican Committee endorsement.

The Mouth:

Gateway to Your Health I’m Pregnant, Is It Safe to Go to the Dentist?

Technically, I am not pregnant since (1) I’m a male and (2) We have a one-year-old and a three-year-old and the thought of my Dr. Richard Weber wife being pregnant with a third would result in rapid hair loss.

But this is a question that many mothers-tobe ask. The answer comes from The National Consensus Statement on oral health care during pregnancy. The Health Resources and Services Administration’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau coordinated a joint meeting with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Dental Association to establish guidelines for best oral health practices during pregnancy.

The results are evidence-based and have proven reliable since the meeting of these two organizations in October 2011.

The biggest takeaway is that oral health care; including use of radiographs, pain medication and local anesthesia; is safe throughout pregnancy. Women are encouraged

to continue to seek oral health care, practice good oral hygiene, eat healthy foods and attend prenatal classes during pregnancy.

Emergency care, preventative care, necessary fillings and other treatments are safe throughout pregnancy. As with any change in someone’s medical status, a pregnant woman should always inform her dentist that she is expecting and when the due date is. There are several considerations that an oral health-care provider must consider when treating a pregnant patient, which is why it is so important to let your dentist know.

Hormone Strategies for Menopause When a woman is fatigued and experiencing post-menopausal symptoms, practitioners are quick to recommend hormone-replacement therapy, referred to as HRT. This form of therapy can mitigate the symptoms of menopause and particularly serves as a quick first line of defense against hot flashes, usually the most troubling of all menopausal symptoms. HRT seeks to bring estrogen (and sometimes progesterone) levels back up in a person.

Est rogen is typica lly provided as a prescription called “estradiol.” You can receive prescription hormones via pills, patches, pellets and creams. Estradiol is one of the three sisters of estrogen, which is a combination of estradiol, estriol and estrone.

Unfor tunately, many physicians just prescribe “estradiol” and not the other two estrogens. They also do not always give progesterone with the estrogen medication.

This is a mistake in my opinion.

When estrogen is prescribed all by itself, it is termed “unopposed estrogen.” Despite progesterone’s far-reaching impacts on health, many doctors still wrongly assume its only job is to protect the uterus. But there are receptors everywhere in your body for progesterone, so you need it whether or not you still have a uterus.

Taking estrogen and/or progesterone doesn’t always help treat menopause, because a person might also be deficient in pregnenolone or dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), two hormones that are higher up on the chain.

Additionally, certain HRT medications come with an increased risk of breast and uterine cancer, as well with the small, but potential risk of heart attack, deep vein thrombosis and stroke. HRT medicines are potent drug muggers that are capable of suppressing nearly every mineral in the body, as well as a person’s

Suzy Cohen AMERICA’S PHARMACIST

B vitamins.

If you take synthetic HRT long enough, you will likely have even worse fatigue, depression, hypothyroidism, confusion, memory lapses, anxiety, insomnia and weight gain.

You can choose bio-identical hormone therapy if traditional HRT doesn’t improve your post-menopausal symptoms. Doing so provides your body with estrogen and progesterone in forms that are biologically identical to what was naturally produced during your youth. With this form of therapy, you would experience more of the benefits and fewer side effects.

Bio-identical hormone therapy is usually created in compounding pharmacies as topical creams, and the dose is customized for you.

The dose is determined by the amount that you make, as well as your response.

It is a trial-and-error thing, so when you start with bio-identical hormones, you should ask your compounding pharmacy if you can purchase just a week or two of the cream at a time, so you can test it and be sure that adjustments to the levels of hormones start before you buy a 90-day supply.

Oftentimes, the bio-identical hormones used in the cream include some or all of the following: DHEA, testosterone, estriol, estrone, estradiol and progesterone. Estriol is hardly ever mentioned by most physicians, but it is a fun fact that the placenta produces this estrogen in large amounts during pregnancy.

Father’s Day Lineup: A Day Dedicated to Dad

The Changing Face of Fatherhood The days of men “babysitting” their own children are a thing of the past. Today’s fathers are more nurturing and more likely to contribute to child care and housework than ever before.

Starting when their kids are first born, modern dads are, in fact, more involved in rearing their children than their fathers and grandfathers were. As recently as the 1970s, it was rare for a man to be present when his child was born. Now it’s uncommon for a dad to not be in the delivery room when his child comes into the world.

The trend of fathers playing active roles in their kids’ lives continues throughout childhood, and today’s fathers spend more time caring for their kids. One study found that fathers from 11 wealthy western countries spent about an hour a day on child care

activities in 2012, but that dads in 1965 spent an average of just 16 minutes a day actively parenting.

Contemporar y fathers are also more likely to contribute to household chores than previous generations were. On average, fathers do two-and-a-half hours of housework a day, compared to two hours a day in 1986.

One specific task in particular that men have embraced is preparing family meals. The amount of fathers who cook regularly has nearly doubled since 1986, rising from 29 to 59 percent.

When men take on a more active role in parenting, their kids benefit. Studies show that children with involved dads perform better academically, have higher selfesteem and are less likely to have troubles with the law later in life.

Does your kids’ dad deserve more than a tie and a hug for Father’s Day? This year, help your children celebrate their old man by dedicating the whole day to him.

MORNING Breakfast in bed is the perfect way to kick off Father’s Day. Older kids can help prepare and serve the meal, and little ones can decorate the serving tray or table. Excellent service is mandatory on such an important day, so everyone will need to be on their best behavior.

AFTERNOON If he loves his car almost as much as he loves his kids, treat him to a car wash at home.

Once the car is looking shiny and new, take a ride to the activity of Dad’s choice. The whole family is sure to enjoy whatever he picks, whether it’s mini-golf, the ice cream shop or the park.

NIGHT End the day with a movie marathon at home. Let Dad decide what you watch and snack on. If he loves Mexican food, make nachos. If he appreciates the classic movie snacks, you can’t go wrong with buttery popcorn. Don’t forget to pick up his favorite candy so he can satisfy his sweet tooth.

Notable Famous Fathers For Father’s Day, here are three famous fathers worthy of note.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN

(1889 – 1977) Silent film star Charlie Chaplin had 11 children, 10 who survived childhood.

His youngest son was born when he was 73 years old, making Chaplin one of the oldest famous fathers in history.

Many of the Chaplin children followed in their father’s footsteps and became actors themselves.

STEPHEN HAWKING (1942 – 2018)

The theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking became famous after authoring the book, “A Brief History of Time.” He became equally well known for his

disability inducing struggle with ALS and a computer that allowed him to communicate using a single muscle in his cheek. Revered as a scientist and as a role model for people with disabilities, it may come as a surprise to some that Hawking fathered three children.

He remained close to his kids until he died at the age of 76.

PRINCE WILLIAM (1982)

The future king of England has a very important job that has nothing to do with the crown.

It’s raising his three children with his wife, Catherine. His mother, Diana, was famously intent on giving her sons a normal childhood, and he’s carrying on the tradition with his own kids. He’s even gone as far as asking for the Queen’s permission to break with royal convention in order to travel on the same airplane as his kids. Happy Father’s Day to all dads, famous or otherwise.

BREWERS (Continued from Page 2)

Galie called that restriction “one of the silliest things I’ve heard in a while—we can do something but don’t tell anybody.”

“That is not a successful business model, and it is not something that will help anyone,” he maintained. “The good thing I can say is that the regulators talked to us a lot more, and the process was better. But the end result was still disappointing. It is different from last fall, but it is still not right (with the passage of a law defining brewers’ rights appearing to be the only viable solution left).”

Graziano, in fact, seemed to concur that his directive may not be the last word.

“If there is a need for or interest in adjusting or further expanding the privileges available to limited brewery licensees, that would be a matter for consideration by the Legislature,” the release quoted him as saying.

Galie said he believed that “overall, there is broad legislative support” for a law governing breweries, as indicated by bills on the issue that had been introduced in the state Assembly by both 8th District Republican Assemblyman Joe Howarth and 7th District Democratic Assemblywoman Carol A. Murphy, whose district comprises Delaware River municipalities in Burlington County.

A spokesman for Howarth, (who has since lost a Republican primary this week), said his bill, A-4594, introduced last fall, has been stalled in the Oversight Reform and Federal Relations Committee. Murphy’s most recent bill on the subject, A-4791, has also been sitting since December, her chief of staff, John Mulholland, told this newspaper in a phone interview.

Mulholland added that in light of the current edict, Murphy is “going to be evaluating whether this is the time to move the bill forward” and first “wants to listen to some of the brewers.”

“But, regardless, it is going to need some changes,” he noted. “There are so many different factors that go into the ruling that she wants to figure out the best approach to take.”

But Mulholland acknowledged that the “cautious optimism” that brewery owners had expressed after Rible’s order was rescinded seemed to have faded.

Galie also called attention to a new Internet “write-in” campaign being conducted at savenjbeer.org, of which he is one of the organizers, complete with a letter that supporters can sign, which will be sent out to all legislators in the state. As of the Monday following the edict, he said his group, which had been “digitally stuffing envelopes,” had already collected more than 4,000 signatures, and that the letter had generated a lot of excitement.

An Internet petition against Rible’s original order last fall, which was shared on social media and sent to Phil Murphy and other elected officials, may have been instrumental in getting that edict rescinded.

In amending state liquor laws in 2012 to accommodate craft breweries, according to the press release announcing the new directive, the Legislature never intended the limited licenses involved to give them the same privileges as establishments such as a sports bars or restaurants.

“In recent years, however, a growing number of craft breweries began serving alcohol well beyond what the limited licenses allowed or ever envisioned,” the press release stated. “This resulted in complaints of unfair competition from bars and restaurant owners who hold licenses allowing full retail privileges.”

Also according to the press release announcing the new directive from Graziano, “We believe the activities permitted under this Special Ruling strike a fair and appropriate balance between the interests of full retail license holders, such as restaurants and bars, and the craft brewing industry. Will everyone

HAVE

BIG NEWS?

be satisfied with them? Probably not. But at the end of the day, the Division’s job is to set limits on what licensees are entitled to do under existing laws and to level the playing field so that all limited breweries can compete fairly with each other.”

When asked whether that initial opposition to the expansion of craft breweries from bar and restaurant owners was still a factor in the state’s approach to regulating them, Galie claimed he saw that changing as well.

“A lot of retailers that even last fall opposed breweries now see the value in partnering with them,” he contended.

In fact, Galie said, a bar down the street from his brewery had just featured his beer on tap for a special event it was doing, which he referred to as “a perfect example of how they were able to call on a local brewery to supply them with something special.”

Bado, in a follow-up email, said he had not personally had any bar or restaurant owner tell him that they were negatively affected by the existence of any New Jersey brewery or taproom.

“My experiences with the restaurants we’ve distributed to have been very favorable,” he said.

“I’ve been told that their consumers appreciate the variety and that often the first question they get is, ‘What’s local?’”

Other “notable changes” in the ABC’s Special Ruling the Division said it “believes will be of interest to the industry” include: • Eliminating a ban on food deliveries to limited breweries and allowing owners to provide patrons with menus from local restaurants; • Allowing hosts at private parties—which remain capped at 52 such events a year—to bring their own wine and beer to their events, if the establishment allows it, thus not limiting participants to craft beer as their only available beverage; • Not requiring repeat customers to have to take another tour of a facility before being served, as long as the brewery creates and maintains a record of customers’ previous participation in such a tour.

• Allowing up to 25 social-affair events to be held on a brewery’s licensed premises in accordance with existing law; and • Permitting limited breweries to participate in 12 off-premise events with a permit issued by the Division that would allow them to sell beer in open containers at such civic or community activities and to sell unchilled four-or six-packs of beer for consumption off of the event premises.

The ABC’s announcement also noted that “statutory requirements of New Jersey liquor laws limiting sales of any product for onpremises consumption to only those individuals who have toured the brewery and prohibiting a limited brewery from operating a restaurant and selling food (other than minor snack items) will be enforced immediately by the Division.

“However, the remaining provisions set out in the Special Ruling should be considered guidelines and will not be strictly enforced by the Division at this time, barring flagrant or repeated violations,” the press release said.

The press release also noted that in the near future, the Division intends to engage in a formal notice and comment period pursuant to the state’s rulemaking process, and will propose these guidelines as regulations. Upon adoption, the guidelines will be fully enforceable with respect to all limited brewery licensees.

“Until such time as the regulatory process is completed and regulations are adopted, the Division intends to treat the guidelines contained in the Special Ruling as special conditions on each limited brewery licensee, beginning with the 2020-2021 license term,” the press release added.

The proprietors of Medford’s other craft brewery, Nale House Brewing Company, could not be reached for a reaction, and Mike Broderson, the owner of Pinelands Brewing Company in Little Egg Harbor, said he did now wish to comment on the edict.

She Loves Cellphones, He Does Not I wouldn’t exactly say that I am addicted to my cellphone, but I do feel the incessant need to keep it handy.

I often check my pocket to make sure it is there and if I see it is low on battery life, I all but break into a cold sweat. I mean, whatever would I do if one of my loved ones needed me and I was not available?

Still, I follow social etiquette when it comes to the device. I do not text during a face-toface conversation. I do not utilize Messenger during dinner or Facebook in church, and I do my all-out best to not have a loud and personal conversation on the phone while I am browsing the local grocer’s freezer.

That said, I do so love having my cellphone on my person. I can look up facts and statistics, easily check my email and keep in touch with all of our immediate family via a group chat.

I use my cellphone for directions, creating shopping lists and to check the daily weather forecast. More importantly, I thank heaven I have something to remind me why I am on the corner of 5th and Jeffers.

On the polar opposite of the cellphone obsession is my beloved spouse. I think the only reason Pat has a cellphone is because I made him get one many years ago. Although he did not really see the need for the device, I grew tired of loading up the children and driving across town to tell him that his concrete was going to be late or that the guy at the lumberyard had a question about his order for OSB sheeting.

Not only that, but it certainly made it handy for me to tell him to pick up a gallon of milk on the way home.

Not being one to text message or use Facebook, Pat has the simplest of cellphones: his beloved flip phone. Nothing fancy there.

Yet, he has many requirements of this device.

Being a builder who works in the elements, his phone needs to be tough as nails. It needs to be sandproof, waterproof, crush-proof, and able to withstand being buried alongside a new tree.

(We enjoyed quite a chuckle when we heard the ground ring back in 2005.)

Pat’s phone needs to be transported via his jeans pocket and able to share its space with no less than 15 nails, a couple of screws and at least two wing nuts. If moisture is a problem, then it should come with its own little raincoat that does not require actually putting it on the device.

Lori Clinch COLUMNIST

If it could figure out, all on its ownsie, how to answer itself and respond to unwanted phone calls with some sense of decorum, that would be awesome. Oh, and this is the most important of all, this phone should be free.

It doesn’t need to connect to the Internet, because Pat has no need for that service. He loves technology, don’t get me wrong. But he simply wants others to do it for him. He is like someone who does not like cars, but always wants a ride.

Although the man recently purchased himself an iPad, he can’t carry it with him, so he still needs me and my cellphone when we are on the move and has no qualms about utilizing me.

I wouldn’t mind it so much, if the stuff he had me looking into was the least bit entertaining, but it is not. Unless, of course, you find power tools intriguing and implements fascinating.

The other night, when we were on a nice little dinner date, Pat seemed to be lost in thought.

Then he gently placed a warm hand on mine and said, “Get on your Google machine and look up a control box for a JLG Scissor lift, would you?”

Although the moment sang of love and emotion, it was nothing compared to the time when he asked me to find a replacement window for his beloved backhoe.

Yessir, romance is alive and well here in the Clinch household.

Pat oftentimes has me use my precious phone to look up addresses, research kickoff times and even to text his clientele.

Lucky for Pat, I always have my phone in hand and at the ready. Still, I wouldn’t say that I am addicted to the darn thing, but I think that perhaps Pat is.

Lori Clinch was born and raised in North Platte, Nebraska, a hotbed of material for writers whose passion it is to make people laugh. She is the mother of four sons and the author of the book “Are We There Yet?”

parents. What really gets people coming back, he said with a smile, are his two toy poodles— the “mascots” of the business—who go to work with him daily.

Also very important to Worrell II is building relationships with his clientele.

“When they come into the store, I don’t just ring them up,” he said. “I have a 10- or 15-minute conversation with my customers.

Ninety percent of them I know; I know their little kids’ names, too. We strive for the best customer service we can provide.”

He noted that part of that customer service includes keeping the store clean and organized.

Worrell II said they do their best to be competitive cost-wise, but know that some items may be priced higher than at other stores.

“Even if a local business costs a bit more and I could easily go to another store, I will support them,” he said. “They come in here and support me, and I do it for them. A community has to rally around one another. If you don’t have support from your local businesses, everyone would fall apart.”

Worrell II noted that the move from working

in construction to a family retail business without prior experience in retail, where “we just kind of jumped in” was “like the American dream.”

The store was purchased, he said, in the recession, so his family got a good deal on it, but they had an uphill climb going forward: they not only needed to build inventory, but they needed to bring The Vineyard’s customers back.

The purchase of the store came with $5,000 of inventory. The Worrells put in another $30,000, but a portion of the shelves remained empty.

“Still, we had to start somewhere,” he said.

Over time, and as business has grown, their shelves began to fill in with requests of the clientele.

In addition to its large variety of liquor, Scoot’s carries wine from local vineyards and beer from local breweries, such as Brotherton Brewery Company in Shamong, the Pinelands Brewing Company out of Little Egg Harbor, Eight & Sand Beer Co. from Woodbury, as well as many others.

Scoot’s is located at 1004 Route 206 in Shamong. It is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

ASSEMBLY (Continued from Page 4)

Addiego, in response to questions posed by this newspaper, said she has remained on good terms with most of the people she was friends with before who know her as a person and maintained that many people are “under a misconception that Republicans and Democrats in Trenton are enemies,” whereas in reality they work together on many issues, declaring, “That is our job.”

Bravo, when contacted by the Pine Barrens Tribune, remarked that, “What struck me about the whole thing was, suppose I wasn’t in it?”

“You would have a slate of candidates with no opposition, so what would be the point of going to the voting booth?” he said.

Bravo then recalled how his 4th grade teacher taught her students that the difference

♦ Page 23

between America and the Soviet Union was in the latter, “people were required to vote but there was only one choice.”

“So I gave them a choice,” he quipped.

Bravo also said he found it gratifying that a few people had called wanting to know more about his positions.

“I was certain I was going to lose,” he said.

“But I think one on one, if there was a voting public that knew all of us, the election would have turned out a little differently. I am not saying I would have won, but I would have done much better.”

Bravo wished LaPlaca and Natale well.

“I know they are honorable people, and I know they will make decent, honorable Assembly persons,” he said, adding that he believed the movement in New Jersey was in favor of the Democrats. “I think they’ll acquit themselves very well.”

(Continued from Page 1) later posted an unofficial list of Independent candidates running in the state General Assembly races, with Giangiulo the only person listed in the 8th District. According to the document, Giangiulo’s petition received 297 signatures.

New Jersey residents have up until 4 p.m. on Primary Election Day to file a petition declaring an Independent candidacy in November’s General Election, and candidates running in party primaries are prohibited from doing so.

Peters, upon arriving at Burlington County Republican Headquarters Tuesday night around 8:05 p.m., held a press gaggle while the other party-backed candidates huddled upstairs to watch election returns. During the press gaggle, the Navy SEAL-turned-assemblyman accused Howarth of being behind Giangiulo’s candidacy.

The relationship between Peters and Howarth, his former running mate, has soured in the wake of 8th District Senator Dawn Marie Addiego defecting to the Democratic party in January, with reports that Howarth also tried to defect to the Democratic party in the wake of Addiego’s announcement. Fueling speculation that he tried to leave the GOP was his nearly 48 hours of silence following Addiego’s party affiliation change.

While Howarth has denied attempting to join the Democratic party, Burlington County Republican Committee Chairman Sean Earlen withdrew party support for him in February due to “contradictory evidence.” Howarth, several weeks later, declared that he was a MAGA candidate and in lockstep with Republican President Donald J. Trump.

“Howarth has turned to Plan C and it is on the New Jersey Globe,” contended Peters during the press gaggle. “Ideally, he would run as a Democrat against me, but he can’t because of the state’s ‘Sore Loser Law.’ So, his third attempt (at defeating me and turning the seat blue) is to run his friend against me as a MAGA Conservative.”

Peters then alleged that Addiego was running Howarth’s campaign, and when the assemblyman was asked for more details, he claimed that Howarth “still shares an office and staff with the Democratic senator” and reports were received that Rick England, Addiego’s chief of staff and longtime aide, was driving Howarth around to “knock on doors” in his reelection bid.

After briefly taking a break to see if enough election results had come in to declare victory, Peters returned downstairs to continue the gaggle and also accused Addiego of being behind Giangiulo’s candidacy.

“It is Plan C for Dawn to now run her friend as an Independent MAGA candidate,” Peters said.

“They (Addiego and Howarth) knew how voteby-mail voting went, showing our (GOP-backed) candidates in the lead. It was a safety valve to do this. This is all a way to overcome failed Plan B, which was to run a Democrat as a Trump Republican.”

Plan A, Peters said, was Addiego trying “to broker a deal to get Joe to come with her” to the Democratic party.

Peters added that he believed the motivation behind Giangiulo’s candidacy is to “make another Norcross seat” in South Jersey, a reference to influential New Jersey Democratic Party leader George Norcross, named one of New Jersey’s most powerful people by NJBiz. com, trying to put as many state legislative seats in Democratic hands as possible. Peters, an active commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve, indicated that he believed Norcross was working with Howarth and Addiego to split the GOP vote in November so that he would lose to the 8th District Democratic Primary winners, Gina LaPlaca and Mark Natale.

Peters pointed to “80 percent or more” of Howarth’s donations coming from Democraticsponsored PACs and unions. According to the New Jersey Globe, Howarth recently received $8,200 from the Iron Workers’ Local #399, which is state Democratic Senate President Steve Sweeney’s union, and $8,200 from the International Brotherhood of Electrical

WWW.PINEBARRENSTRIBUNE.COM Workers Local 351, which was run by 1st District Democratic Rep. Donald Norcross, George Norcross’ brother) before his election to Congress.

“Before she (Addiego) even left the party, the state Senate president was giving leadership money to her office to hire additional staff,” Peters contended.

Howarth, on June 3, posted “a quick snapshot” on his candidate Facebook page of contributions he alleged Peters accepted in 2017, along with ones that were accepted by the Burlington County Republican Committee, “to help get him elected to the state Assembly in 2017.” Most of the contributions listed were from unions, but notably went to “GOP Committee” or “8th Joint Account” election funds that would have been used by Addiego, Howarth and Peters at the time when they were running together as a party-backed team, not just Peters. Only one contribution from “Operating Engineers” for $8,200 was listed as being given to a “Peters Account” election fund.

Peters, clearly fired up about what he had just read on the New Jersey Globe news outlet, also claimed during the gaggle that Howarth “only turned to Trump four weeks ago” and that he had been disloyal to the president for quite some time. Peters recounted one particular conversation he had with Howarth, claiming that the now-defeated assemblyman urged him not to attend a fundraiser hosted by the president for Tom MacArthur, a 3rd Congressional District congressman defeated last November by Democratic Rep. Andy Kim. “He (Howarth) told me that I shouldn’t go to the fundraiser when Trump came to raise money for MacArthur,” Peters said.

Prior to Addiego’s defection to the Democratic party, Peters posted a 58-second video on his Facebook page, later shared on the Burlington County Republican Committee’s Facebook page, taking Trump to task for his words and tweets that he believes are undermining civility in the nation’s capital.

Howarth, during the latter part of his primary campaign, upbraided Peters for having taken Trump to task and called on Peters to pledge his loyalty to the president in a signed document.

Peters refused to sign the pledge, citing his combat service record as a Navy SEAL as proof enough of his commitment to both the Commander-in-Chief and the U.S. Constitution.

Howarth, after Peters refused to sign the Trump loyalty pledge, claimed that the Navy SEAL turned his back on the president and his mission to Make America Great Again. Stanfield was also presented with the pledge, but declined to sign it as well. This caused some party voters to question on the Burlington County Republican Committee’s Facebook page whether Peters and Stanfield supported the president, who is considered the head of the Republican party.

When asked during the gaggle whether he supported Trump, Peters responded, “Yeah— President Trump is my Commander and Chief.”

He added that he is in the active reserves, and potentially might be deployed in a few years again, so he has to support him and took an oath to support him.

“There are certain things that he does that I disagree with, and I call them out,” Peters said.

Blind loyalty I don’t think is healthy for anything.”

Shortly after the gaggle, the rest of the GOP party-backed candidates, including Stanfield; Freeholder Latham Tiver; Lee Schneider, running for freeholder; and Michael Ditzel, seeking the sheriff’s post, emerged from upstairs with Earlen and Burlington County Republican Committee Executive Director Jesse Estlow. They met up with Peters to declare victory in the primary.

“In my mind, this (contested primary) was nothing more than a distraction for what we are all really here for, which is going after (Democratic) Governor Phil Murphy and his agenda in November,” Earlen said. “Starting tonight, this is where we are going.”

Stanfield, Tiver, Schneider and Ditzel were much more subdued than Peters in their brief remarks, merely thanking supporters “for their overwhelming support.” Peters added that Earlen

is “a great leader” who “passed his first test.”

Earlen briefly addressed Giangiulo’s candidacy during the victory celebration after a question about it was posed to him and Stanfield.

“I think we have seen when folks are insincere about their intentions, about their beliefs and how they are going to run, how that ends and what the result is,” Earlen said. “I think we have strong candidates—a strong team and a strong core across the county of Republicans, and not only in this county, but also throughout the 8th District in Atlantic and Camden Counties. I am not worried about it.”

This reply caused a volunteer to ask for the details of Giangiulo’s candidacy and Peters explained to him that the former Waterford councilman was running as an “Independent Make America Great Again” candidate on the ballot.

“I don’t know how you are going to fit all of that on the ballot,” said Earlen with a chuckle.

Addiego and Howarth did not return calls for comment on this story by press time. Howarth did not immediately concede that he lost the election on Tuesday night. On May 29, when asked where his Primary Election Night campaign event would be held, Howarth replied in a text message that he would be “having a nice, quiet dinner out with some friends.”

In a Wednesday telephone call placed by this newspaper to Addiego’s office, a secretary, when asked how one could reach Howarth and where his office was located, replied, “This is his office.” When taking this newspaper’s message asking if England was driving Howarth around, she burst into laughter.

England, in a later phone call to this newspaper, was adamant that he has nothing to do with the Howarth campaign, also laughing at what he claimed was the “desperate” premise that he has been driving Howarth around.

“I don’t have anything to do with Howarth’s campaign and have not driven a candidate around in 30 years,” he said. “I was home sick yesterday. Whatever Ryan (Peters) wants to think is not true.”

8th Legislative District Assemblyman Ryan Peters holds a press gaggle to primarily discuss the Independent candidacy of Tom Giangiulo Jr. England added that he and Howarth are working with the Office of Legislative Services (OLS) “to find a no-cost solution” to moving the now-defeated GOP assemblyman out “rather than pay $30,000 like Ryan (Peters) did to move down the street.”

“Until physical walls can be put up, that is the way it is,” England said.

Howarth previously told the Pine Barrens Tribune on Feb. 4, following Addiego’s defection, that he would be “moving things out” of the office he shared with Addiego and that “there is no way he can stay in his current office.” Peters remarked at the time that he would also be moving out and did later relocate to a facility in Lumberton.

Giangiulo also could not be reached for comment on this story by press time. Waterford Township Clerk Dawn M. Liedtka, who confirmed that Giangiulo was a Republican during his time on Waterford Council, said that she would relay a message to him since she could not give out his personal phone number. She also provided this newspaper with an email address to reach him, but no response was returned by press time.

“I am proud of the fact that my campaign provided that. If you look at some of the literature from two of my opponents, it looks like they’ve broadly adopted some of the issues from my platform, so in that sense, the campaign has already been a success.”

The main issues that Huf focused on included providing senior deductions on property taxes, instituting regulatory reform, increasing the number of park rangers so that people can have

“Right now, we’ve got a whole bunch of robocalls and this is something senior citizens have to put up with all the time,” he said. “When it is not election season, chances are, it is a scam and they are trying to scare them into giving information like social security numbers. I want to have tougher penalties for people who get caught harassing and scamming our seniors.”

Huf also focused his campaign on increasing state aid to Southern New Jersey school districts.

“With state aid being cut to our school districts, that is effectively a tax increase for South Jersey to pay for North Jersey school systems. South Jersey legislators have to stand up more. You’re not going to win every fight because most of the legislators are from northern New Jersey. But you can put up a bold fight and keep as much as you can in South Jersey, where it belongs. You don’t want to lay off teachers and you don’t want to raise taxes.”

Huf, who conceded the election around 9:25 p.m., was proud of the fact that he ran a “clean” campaign and thought that he played a role in

getting more area Republicans involved.

“We’ve gotten more Republicans out to vote in the primaries, which means that they are that much more likely to vote in the general election,” he said. “If they volunteered in the primary, they’re also more likely to volunteer in the general election. If they donated money, they are more likely to donate in the general election. We may not have made the party bigger, but I am proud to say that we have played a part in making it more active.”

Porto, who served on the Hainesport Township Committee from 2006-2018 and as chairman of the Hainesport Republican Committee from 20162018, thought that money was a deterring factor in Huf’s loss.

“The biggest challenge was not having a party organization of our own,” said Porto, a tax administrator for Hunterdon County. “Fundraising becomes more difficult without one.”

After conceding, Huf expressed his thanks to everyone who volunteered on his campaign, including Porto, his former office manager, “a number of very good friends,” and his “disabled mom sitting at a table

stamping and labeling post cards.” He also singled out a particularly dedicated volunteer.

“On Sunday night in Southampton, two nights before the election, there were about five guys in the rain, thunder and lightning who were trying to save this big heavy snapping turtle that was stranded,” he said. “There was a helpful assembly volunteer putting up signs in the thunderstorm who sees the crowd and what is going on, pops the trunk, pulls out a ‘Huff for Assembly’ sign and uses it to save the snapping turtle. That guy is the hero of the campaign.”

Huf said that he plans to support the Republican ticket in November and then run again for the assembly in two years.

“I think we have built a pretty good foundation in just eight short weeks,” he said. “For the issues that matter to me, I’ve come up with solutions that matter to New Jersey residents. My miserly campaign treasurer and I figured out a long time ago to not put dates on the literature or the signs.

I said before that I don’t want to see June 4 on any of my stuff because we may have to use it again.”

include two acute care hospitals, Capital Health Regional Medical Center, a Level II Trauma Center and Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, which opened in 2011. Its specialized regional medical services include the Capital Institute for Neurosciences and the Center for Digestive Health, as well as orthopedic surgery, nonsurgical procedures using the CyberKnife® Radiosurgery System and TrueBeamTM Linear Accelerator, daVinci robotic surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery and specialized pediatric emergency care.

In an initial complaint filed in April, Deborah claimed that its legal action was necessitated by Lourdes having “knowingly violated numerous contractual agreements with Deborah” which were entered into because of “a longstanding acrimonious relationship between Deborah and Virtua Health Inc.” “Lourdes knew that Deborah’s desire to

protect itself from Virtua’s anticompetitive conduct was an essential and material term of each of the agreements,” the legal brief stated.

“Most disturbingly, both Lourdes and Virtua knew that their merger would violate these contractual obligations, and chose to move forward anyway.”

Therefore, the complaint noted, Deborah was seeking preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to protect itself against the “irreparable harm that will follow if the Lourdes/Virtua merger is finalized and Virtua is permitted to take control of Deborah’s SED.” In its initial filing, Deborah also cited its long-standing “unique charitable mission” to provide cardiac care without requiring any copays, deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses. The brief also cited its role as a “safety-net hospital” that devotes more than 10 percent of its care to “community benefit,” including the uninsured

and underinsured, and that has provided up to a third of New Jersey’s cardiac charity care in some years.

In addition, the complained pointed out, Deborah is an “esteemed teaching hospital” with one of the largest cardiology teaching programs in the country and has been “nationally renowned for its quality of care and patient satisfaction.”

Dow’s ruling, however, did not address the rest of Deborah’s request that Lourdes be enjoined from engaging in the proposed merger, or any future partnership with Virtua unless it excludes Lourdes’ Burlington County facility.

In an email sent to the Pine Barrens Tribune Wednesday, Donna L. Mazzanti, an administrative specialist in Burlington County Superior Court, said that Dow, a former New Jersey attorney general, had transferred the matter to the Law Division of the Superior Court, and that no date for hearing it had yet been set.

BRIDGE

(Continued from Page 1) bridge project, which have been performed by Dewberry Engineers and were funded through Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC), also using federal funds.

“On Jan. 3, bids were received for the project,” Gangemi said. “Nine bids were received ranging from $6,127,861 to $9,315,859. The Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders awarded the construction contract to the lowest bidder, which was MidLantic Construction LLC, of Barnegat, in the amount of $6,131,665.”

With the Goodwill Fire Company, located on the south side of the bridge, serving the greater Pemberton Borough area, officials, according to Gangemi, came up with a plan to establish a temporary pedestrian bridge in case firefighters coming from the north need quick access to the firehouse during an emergency.

“A temporary pedestrian bridge is being installed across the creek, east of Hanover Street, to maintain public access across the creek,” Gangemi said. “This also provides a means for fire company personnel to reach the Goodwill Fire Company building from the north while the road is closed. Emergency parking for the fire department is being provided along the driveway to the Grist Mill Antique Center (a business very close to the north side of the bridge).”

A detour route has been posted in the area of the bridge. Motorists who would normally access Hanover Street from the south side of the bridge, or travel northbound on the thoroughfare, are being asked to take the Pemberton Bypass, also known as County Route 530, and make a left turn onto Elizabeth Street, which will eventually intersect with Hanover Street.

Motorists who would normally travel southbound on Hanover Street can turn onto Elizabeth Street, and then take the Pemberton Bypass to get on the south side of the Hanover Street Bridge.

Hanover Street eventually transitions into County Route 616, also known as Fort Dix Road, which leads to a main access point for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. An alternate detour route has been posted to redirect traffic coming out of the base traveling Fort Dix Road to take North Pemberton Road, eventually intersecting with Route 206. The hope is that this will alleviate traffic jams in the vicinity of the borough and bypass.

As the Pine Barrens Tribune previously reported in February 2018, one of the bridge’s emergency repairs was made in October 2017, in part, after officials were contacted by this newspaper about the contents of a photograph taken underneath the bridge by a boater in August 2017.

The photo showed that the bridge’s primary support beam (girder) at the time was severely rusted with three holes in it.

Two of the holes were about the size of tennis balls, while one was at least the size of a basketball.

Other elements of the 104-foot-by-31-foot bridge were also depicted as being severely rusted, with missing pieces as well.

Then-Burlington County Spokesman Andrew Robotin said at the time that the bridge was inspected about every six months due to its deteriorated condition and repairs were made on an “as-needed basis.”

More than $11,302 has been spent since 2016 on materials to conduct the repairs, according to copies of bills provided by the county to this newspaper. Shortly after this newspaper printed the story and corresponding photographs, additional emergency repairs were made to the bridge.

“Repairs have been made to its floor beams, stringers, bridge decking, lateral braces and expansion joints,” said Robotin in the February 2018 story.

Gangemi said this week that the bridge is now classified as “structurally deficient and functionally obsolete.”

Some 182 pages of records related to the

The Hanover Street Bridge in Pemberton Borough.

Hanover Street Bridge, obtained through an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) Request in 2018 and previously reported on by this newspaper, show that inspectors from 2015 to 2017 had found numerous cracks in the bridge’s stringers, or parallel steel beams supporting its deck. Some of the cracks were found to have “propagated beyond the bridge’s arrest hole” and “propagated into both legs of the top flange.”

Additionally, the records show that officials were made aware that seven of the bridge’s floor beams had holes observed in them, including one that is 9 feet by 3 inches. More than 15 holes were found in all of the beams combined.

The records also note “severe corrosion” in several of the bridge’s elements.

“The superstructure is in serious condition due to severe corrosion with through holes in the truss bottom chord, webs and anges and several support beams” wrote two engineers in a New Jersey Department of Transportation bridge evaluation report submitted on May 30, 2016.

The construction project involves the demolition of the existing steel truss bridge and construction of a new 118-foot-long, single-span prefabricated steel-truss bridge with a concrete bridge deck and reconstruction of 900 linear feet of roadway, according to Gangemi.

“The present horizontal alignment will be maintained and the vertical profile will be modified slightly,” Gangemi said. “The new bridge will include architectural treatments to make the completed project compatible with the Pemberton Historic District.”

The existing bridge, which had a 15-ton weight limit up until a few years ago when it deteriorated, and currently has a 5-ton weight limit, will be replaced with one that will have no weight limit, according to Gangemi.

“The new bridge will not have a posted weight limit and will be able to carry all legal vehicle loads,” Gangemi said.

Pemberton Borough officials have long been concerned about the impact such a bridge closure would have on its businesses, many of which are located off Hanover Street. Some businesses, such as the Grist Mill Antique Center, will now be located at a temporary dead end caused by the bridge being out.

“I am hoping all my customers make the effort to come out, and we are going to try to make it worth their while when they do,” said Barbara Lind, owner of Grist Mill Antique Center, in a June 4 interview with this newspaper. “I am trying to be positive and hope the project will move swiftly.”

Pemberton Borough Mayor Harold Griffin, however, told this newspaper Tuesday the bridge project is “definitely going to have an effect” on borough businesses. He added that its timing was especially concerning to him—coinciding with the county’s resurfacing of W. Hampton Street, which is what the Pemberton Bypass transitions into as one travels westbound.

“I have been concerned for many years that… well let’s just say that I hope that they will stay to their schedule,” he said. “Hanover Street is supposed to be opened on Dec. 7. I don’t want a Smithville deal.”

Griffin was referring to the county’s

replacement of the Smithville Bridge, on Smithville Road, in Eastampton. That 104-yearold bridge over the Rancocas Creek was closed in January 2017 and construction began on it in March 2018. The county had originally anticipated work on the bridge would be finished last December, then in March. Now it is expected to reopen sometime later this month.

A design flaw and an issue involving the new bridge’s design railings have been responsible for the delay.

“I think we have already had a few setbacks with the Hanover Street Bridge project and I can’t ensure it will be done on time,” Griffin said. “However, I did go to a pre-construction meeting and it seemed like these contractors want to get it done.”

The mayor added that he can’t argue with the need to replace the Hanover Street Bridge, however.

“There have been times where they could have closed it a lot earlier because of safety issues,” Griffin said. “But they kept coming out and repairing it so that it could be used until this project is completed. It is something
