Pinelands Regional High School Reopens

Pinelands Regional High School students arrive on Jan 17, at the high school, for the first time since it was closed on Oct. 13 due to a construction debacle.

Issues Found During Contentious Building Tours Leave Public Dumbfounded

By Douglas D. Melegari Staff Writer

LITTLE EGG HARBOR—Pinelands Regional High School, closed since October due to safety hazards and sicknesses resulting from a roofing project debacle, reopened late last month, but not without commotion.

The commotion started when district officials offered public tours of the school the day before its Jan. 17. reopening. Two tours were held in the morning, while three were held in the evening.

The tours were offered to ease parent and community fears that the building was still unsafe for occupancy; despite cleaning, repair and restoration work to address the hazards and illnesses.

Several parents and community members gathered at the school for the first two tours of the day.

After the parents and community members toured the building, it became evident that the school was not ready to be reopened just yet with several problems, some unrelated to the roofing debacle, discovered.

Many of the school’s portable fire extinguishers were past due for their annual inspection­—some two years past due. Some of the facility’s fire extinguisher cabinets were empty.

Flammable areas were not properly ventilated.

LITTLE EGG HARBOR—Another round of construction at Pinelands Regional High School could result in the closure of the building during the entire 2018-19 school year and the addition of classroom trailers at Pinelands Regional Junior High School.

The impermanent closure of the high school is one of several possibilities that the district is looking at to be able to carry out the next phases of a $53-million bond referendum that is funding “nofrill renovations” to the building.

Acting Superintendent Dr. Cheryl Stevenson has said repeatedly in recent days that no decision has been made on whether to close the high school later this year; and that many options besides closing it exist and need to be discussed with district staff, professionals and the community.

But at a Jan. 17 meeting of the Pinelands Regional Board of Education, the board heard from its construction professionals who suggested that the high school should close for the upcoming school year to allow for the completion of structural renovations to

LITTLE EGG HARBOR—After a tumultuous first phase of construction tied to a $53-million bond referendum for “no-frills renovations,” Pinelands Regional High School District officials are discussing how to move forward as they deal with unexpected delays, quality concerns and demands to hold their contractors accountable for mishaps.

As previously reported, the mishaps included the careless removal of asbestos-containing debris from Pinelands Regional High School’s roof.

The carelessness ultimately led to the closing of the high school from Oct. 13 to Jan. 17 and split sessions at Pinelands Regional Junior High School.

At a Pinelands Regional Board of Education meeting last month, Board Solicitor Amy L. Houck responded to calls from the public for accountability.

She said the board was meeting behind closed doors to discuss its options to seek accountability, but that she could not provide details about those discussions due to attorney-client privilege and

Lenape Marching Band and Football Team Congratulated for Championship Wins

By Mark Hatoff

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

SHAMONG—The first regular meeting of the Lenape Regional High School District Board of Education in the New Year, on Jan. 17, was a celebration of all things Lenape High School.

The board devoted a majority of its time to Lenape student accomplishments achieved, so far, in the 2017-18 school year.

Special recognition was given to the

Lenape’s senior student leaders, to highlight the other Lenape activities.

“We want to show you what is so special about Lenape,” Burton said.

She and Cornaglia commented on photographs that showcased the school’s robotics, science and field-hockey teams, as well as the school’s National Merit Scholars— pointing out how each club or sport had a strong season.

But the student leaders also made sure to

Lenape football team, which won a state championship, and the Lenape Marching Band, which also won a state championship.

“Welcome to Lenape Night here in Shamong!” said Lenape High School Principal Tony Cattani. “We’re here to celebrate our state championship marching band and our state championship football team; and also share some insight about what else is going on at Lenape this year.”

Prior to introducing Lenape Marching Band Director Steve Waldron and Lenape Head Football Coach Tim McAneney, Cattani asked Immani Nia-Burton and Joey Cornaglia,

talk about all of the community service that Lenape’s students participate in.

“We’re not only about winning, but also using outreach to help the community,” Cornaglia said. “We’ve held many fundraisers such as Houston Strong; our cancer game, where we had people who donated their hair to patients who lost their own during treatment; our Toys for Tots collection and Safe Trick or Treat. A lot of this is run by our student leaders.”

Cornaglia and Nia-Burton added that Lenape’s clubs do a lot of good as well, such

Official Fears Passage of Mandated Ordinance Could Result in Greater Costs

By Mark Hatoff

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

MEDFORD LAKES—The solicitor here is growing concerned that an ordinance passed last fall, mandated by the state, will cause the Borough of Medford Lakes to bear greater overhead costs.

Borough Solicitor Douglas Heinold spoke earlier this month about what could arise as a result of the borough’s recent adoption of the state-required flood-damage prevention ordinance that altered flood zones based on new mapping.

“Borough Clerk Mark McIntosh recently sent me (flood zone) certification forms from a resident who received them from his mortgage company,” Heinold said. “I’m a little concerned, especially if that is going to be the trend. This would essentially cause some more administrative work and possibly an engineering review if we’re required to sign off on those.”

Heinold said continued submittal of more certification forms by residents from their mortgage or insurance company could result in a cost impact to the borough.

“If we do start to see more of these, what I may be recommending is possibly establishing some sort of fee associated with it, because it could create an impact with the engineering office,” he said. “Again, I’m not sure we’re required to sign off on these certifications, but I’m trying to check around a bit to see if other people are experiencing the same issue.”

In other news, at Medford Lakes Borough Council’s first meeting of the New Year, numerous resolutions were approved.

McIntosh was reappointed as the borough’s Americans with Disabilities coordinator and public agency compliance officer.

Craig Farnsworth II was reappointed as the borough’s fire official.

Also authorized was the establishment of a temporary budget of $1,603,840.79.

A raffle license was given to the Medford Home and School Association for Casino Night, on March 4, at Medford Lakes Country Club.

Authorization was given for the borough to enter into a shared services agreement with Medford Township for continued emergency medical services.

“This is a renewal of an agreement with Medford Township, which provides us with our emergency medical services, for which we don’t have to pay direct fees,” said Mayor Thomas Cranston.

The new agreement is in effect for 24 months until Dec. 31, 2019.

Peter C. Lange Jr. was appointed as municipal court judge. His appointment is part of a shared services agreement with Shamong Township for Medford Lakes to operate a shared municipal court.

William T. Smith and Steven Bruder were reappointed as Class IV members to the Medford Lakes Planning Board.

Councilman William Fields was appointed as a Class III member to the planning board.

Mike Dzwill was memorialized as a member of the Medford Lakes Historic Commission, with his term expiring on Dec. 31, 2021. Russell Trice was appointed as an alternate member, until Dec. 31, 2019.

Councilman Dr. Gary Miller gave praise to the Medford Lakes Public Works Department.

“They have been very busy with snow and ice over the last couple of weeks and have worked 328 1/2-man hours,” he said. “I just want to go on record and commend them for their outstanding response. They kept us clear and our roads passable. I thank (Public Works Foreman) Mark (Witczak) and his crew for a job very well done.”

Deputy Mayor Robert Hanold, Sr. was absent.

Water was seen leaking on to surfaces with ceiling tiles either containing water marks or missing altogether.

In areas both inside and outside of the building, electrical components and wires were exposed.

Some of the building’s lights had their covers hanging off of them, while others were wobbly due to loosened screws.

The most distressing discovery was made in classroom D164 where a foul odor led to one parent becoming nauseous. D164 was one of the classrooms where students became sickened from dust, debris, noise and foul odors last fall as unauthorized work took place on a metal roof deck above it. The deck was discovered to be

active negotiations.

Typically, whenever a school district hires a contractor to perform construction, performance bonds and other measures are put in place to protect them from liability should a contractor fail to complete assigned work up to specifications.

One parent asked the board if the roofing contractor, Mike Kobithen Roofing and Insulation, had a performance bond, to which Houck said “yes.”

Houck’s response led to the parent asking another question, “Well, did they actually perform?”

Board member Thomas D. Williams, Jr. (Bass River) said that Kobithen’s performance is the subject of litigation that the district is pursuing.

Houck, as she continued to respond to the parent, said that the performance bond firm and Kobithen had “been put on notice,” but that “the process is not finalized.” She also explained where the district was at in paying its roofing contractor.

“They have not received all of their money yet and we are evaluating what options are available to us,” Houck she said. “Their performance bond firm has been put on notice that there are issues with the project. The Kobithen part of the project was a $5 Million contract.”

Interestingly, during a presentation detailing the next phases of construction earlier in the night, district Construction Manager Chuck Romanoli, of New Road Construction, outlined the current and estimated project costs for the remaining phases of construction.

He said a surplus existed, in part, because a performance bond on the district’s roofing contractor had not yet been paid, despite the work

improperly cleaned of asbestos-contaminated debris prior to the illnesses and a letter revealing the discovery was disregarded and overlooked by some officials.

The letter was also largely kept hidden from the public view and set off a firestorm when parents found it online.

Given the public’s tour observations and past district gaffes, it didn’t take long for some “tourists” to engage school officials in heated exchanges and call for the reopening to be postponed. The building was supposed to be reopened in late November, and then in December, but a series of setbacks forced officials to push back the reopening to January.

TOURS>>PAGE 10 being “substantially complete.”

“We still have a substantial amount of money out on this part of the project to make sure they finish the job,” said Romanoli of Kobithen. “We have about three quarters of a million dollars being held on this work.”

Previously, the district, at the direction of the board, sent a letter to the New Jersey Department of Education, including the county superintendent, requesting an investigation into the debacle.

District officials, at the board meeting held on Jan. 17, said a response to the letter had not yet been received.

Houck said the delay might be a symptom of a new governor’s administration transitioning into office.

Some parents, as was the case during past board meetings, demanded that the contractors responsible for the debacle be made to pay for the results of their work and be fired.

Concerns were also raised about who was going to pay for the re-roofing that needed to be done above the high school’s D-wing due to inadequate cleaning a roof deck prior to the installation of a new roof, and resultant emergency air quality and asbestos testing of the premises.

Romanoli said the project was actually running under budget.

“The total expected surplus based on the numbers we have today and the detailed cost estimates for the work brings the projects $3.2 million under budget,” he said.

Romanoli added that there is also now a dispute involving the roofing materials’ warrantee.

“One of the things we’ve been dealing with— with this nonsense with this contractor and

address structural integrity issues.

Pinelands Regional, already plagued by controversies involving “Phase 1” or roof work last year to the high school, is looking ahead to Phases 2 through 8 that are more invasive and include removal and replacement of brickface on the exterior of the high school and fixing a stair tower where structural integrity tests showed it was unsafe to occupy.

District Architect Brooks Garrison of Garrison Architects and District Construction Manager Chuck Romanelli of New Roads Construction, said the plan was crafted as a result of public outcry in the wake of the roofing project.

A series of gaffes during “Phase 1” caused falling debris, dust, noise and foul odors inside the high school while students and staff were present.

Some fell ill from the conditions and the high school was eventually closed from Oct. 13 to Jan. 17, forcing the district to implement split sessions at the junior high school.

Parents have packed board meetings since September, demanding answers and accountability for what happened.

Garrison and Romanelli both said that the next phase of construction will probably outpace the roofing project and maintaining safety is a main reason behind their suggestion to close the high school.

But, interestingly, at one point during a Q&A after the presentation, Garrison suggested that it is virtually impossible to section off the building, which created confusion because sectioning off the building had been the plan all along for the next phases of the referendum project.

“The way the building is designed and exists is that the rear two-story building is science labs,” Garrison said. “So, you can’t just close 10

as the Hero Club, which picked fresh fruits and vegetables at Johnson’s Farm in Medford for a food drive and the Students Against Dangerous Decisions Club.

“There are also new clubs like the PB&J Club which makes sandwiches to donate to a local homeless shelter,” Nia-Burton said. “We have clubs that are inclusive for everyone’s interests like the Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA) Club and Women of the World (WOW) Club. The African-American Club also organized the 15th annual March for Martin, which (helps attain) our “No Place for Hate” designation.”

Cattani said that the march’s founder, 2003 Lenape graduate Troy Riley, traveled from his North Carolina home with his wife, parents and brother to be an honored guest for this year’s march.

Riley created a $1,500 scholarship, which is awarded to the winner of “The King in Me” essay contest. This year, the contest’s winner happened to be Nia-Burton and she was recently presented with the scholarship.

“This is what Lenape is,” Nia-Burton said. “Being connected—feeling a part of a family.”

Cornaglia said his and Nia-Burton’s presentation just highlighted “a fraction” of the positive things that take place at Lenape.

“Every day you walk down the hallways (of the high school) and come in on a red carpet, you see the murals and people rocking their Lenape gear,” he said. “It’s hard not to have Lenape Pride.”

Cattani introduced the Lenape Marching Band after the senior student leaders spoke.

Saturday, February 3, 2018 classrooms and have 10 new classrooms and still have science labs. You can’t close the D-wing and still have auto shop, photography, computer labs, and home economics classes, because they are not equal to a regular classroom.

“The other thing that is important to understand is that the building has mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems that run throughout it. So, when we shut a whole area down, it affects the other areas.”

Additionally, Garrison also said closing the school allows for crews to work during the day, instead of overnight, which could allow for a cost savings on labor. Otherwise, he said, crews would have to work overnight, stop construction for a school day, and contain the work area safely for school to reopen each day as construction is not supposed to take place when classes are going on.

The next phases of construction will also address salt corrosion and issues with rust behind walls at both schools; and include construction of a new canopy and entranceway at the high school.

Garrison and Romanelli both said the board should go out to bid now for the next phases and award bids during scheduled March or April meetings to allow for the work to begin as soon as the school year ends.

They said that if their recommendation is followed, the work at the junior high school would be done before the next school year begins, allowing that building to reopen. They said work at the high school would take longer, forcing the use of trailers and a split schedule at the junior high school and thus necessitating the closure.

“The bulk of the work (at the high school) is still remaining (at the time the junior high school is done),” Garrison said. “With the massive scope of this project, the high school has to be closed.”

ARCHITECT>>PAGE 17 “On Oct. 28, the Lenape Marching Band won the 2017 USBands Group II New Jersey State and Regional Championships for the eighth time out of the last nine years,” he said. “I say this all the time, but I’m going to say this here before this crowd—they are the hardest working students in Lenape High School. Congratulations on another state championship.”

Director Waldron said that with each school year, the tournaments and participating group of students is unique.

He then discussed the band’s October performance at Rutgers University in New Brunswick. The band did more than march in the performance—it also carried out magic tricks.

“Our production this year was Abracadabra,” he said. “We definitely put our head on the chopping block this time and took a gamble with actually trying to put magic tricks on the field that people would recognize.”

Waldron said the band hoped that observers would not realize how they pulled off the tricks.

“I know that show to show, how we levitated a girl on the field was remarkable,” he said. “We also sawed a girl in half—she is actually here, she is a whole person. We had a magician pulling flowers out of midair and a rabbit and other things out of a hat.”

Despite winning, Waldron revealed that not everything went as planned with the school band’s performance.

“We had a glitch at states—the power went out in the middle of our performance (due to an accidentally kicked cord), but the audience never knew it,” he said. “We lost our piano

player and our bass player for about a minute and a half. But, the kids were professional and kept playing. We commended those kids over and over again.”

Waldron also praised Lenape’s Color

PINE BARRENS TRIBUNE, WWW.PINEBARRENSTRIBUNE.COM Football team.

“If you don’t know a little of the backstory of Lenape Football, we’ve been really bad for a really long time,” said Cattani to laughter from the audience. “We had just 13 winning seasons in our 58-year history.”

Cattani described how the football program transpired under the leadership of McAneney,

PHOTO SUBMITTED Lenape Football Head Coach Tim McAneney and his football team were recognized on Jan. 17 by the the Lenape Regional High School District Board of Education for winning the South Jersey Group 5 Championship on Saturday, Dec. 2.

Guard, which won a national championship, and commended the marching band’s commitment to excellence.

“The faces and instrumentation change each year, but the core values never do,” he said. “The kids put their faith in me and work extremely hard, as do the staff and the parents.”

Waldron said winning is not the ultimate goal.

“It never is,” he said. “Doing the best we possibly can, striving for the top level as individuals and as a team unit, is our true goal.”

Waldron’s presentation was followed by one that featured the history of the Lenape

who has been a veteran coach for the Indians.

“The first three seasons Coach Mac was here, he went 12-18,” Cattani said. “But, over the past four years (when the team went 396), this senior class was the winningest class at Lenape. This past season, they went to their first state championship and won the first state championship in school history, going 11-1.”

Cattani said McAneney has decided to retire from Lenape Football after achieving success in his final years.

“This is bittersweet, because tonight, McAneney is resigning as Lenape’s head football coach,” he said. “He made a major impact on our students and I’m really proud

of this group.”

After Lenape defeated Rancocas Valley in a last-second 10-7 victory at Rowan University, in the South Jersey Group 5 Championship game, the win gave McAneney a seven-year record of 52-24 at the school. His overall career mark stands at 103-75.

“It has been an honor to be head football coach at Lenape,” McAneney said. “I am humbled, because I’ve gotten to spend time with these guys. Not only does that mean going over the X’s and O’s on a Friday night, but it also means seeing firsthand the hard work that is put in behind the scenes. We all love the preparation on Friday nights and the competition on game days, but the efforts that these guys have put in is phenomenal and the hard work never ends.”

McAneney also expressed his pride at his latest team’s drive and determination.

He said he believes the drive and determination helped them overcome differences in size and amount of star talent in comparison with their competition.

“When you look at us, when we lined up at 7 on 7 competitions, we used to joke, ‘These are the Clark Kents and the Supermen of South Jersey football,”’ he said. “When you see the guys of some of the teams that we play, you wonder, how are we going to compete with these guys?”

McAneney said he realized that the Lenape Football team has something that their competition doesn’t bring to the table.

“Our kids know what that is and we’re proud that they’ve developed together the ‘respect’ that they have for each other and the game,” he said. “To watch these guys play and practice, that is what I’m going to miss.”

McAneney, like Waldron, said that he appreciated the football team’s success, but success was not of prime importance.

PAGE 7 “It’s been an honor to coach them and see them evolve,” he said. “We have lifelong memories that we’ll cherish together, forever.

The win is nice and we appreciate the honor.

But the bonds that these guys have for each other would be there, regardless of those victories.”

In board business matters, Board Secretary Constance Stewart acknowledged that the NJ School Boards Association declared January as “School Board Recognition Month.”

The board approved a December 2017 payroll of $7,962,462 and the writing of checks totaling $4,428,893 from Dec. 21, 2017 through Jan. 17.

In personnel matters, one interim teacher was hired for Lenape, two interim teachers were hired for Cherokee High School, one teacher and a computer tech staff member were hired for Seneca High School and an interim secretary was hired for the district for an annual, combined total of $301,360.

In addition, four teachers from Cherokee and one teacher from Lenape were approved for leaves of absence.

Donations totaling $6,862 to the district schools, including $4,810 for Cherokee activities and $2,052 to Shawnee High School were approved.

Two new clubs were approved: an American Sign Language Club at Seneca and the Music and Movement Club at Cherokee.

Cherokee’s multiple disabilities and autistic program students were approved to visit the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia in April and the Reading Terminal Market in June.

Cherokee’s concert band and wind ensemble received permission to perform at the USBands Concert Series at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia on April 23.

hat would famous English singer Petula Clark think of Medford Township’s decision to threaten a toy store in its downtown with a daily fine of $50 for having an LED ‘open’ sign in its storefront?

The answer is in her 1964 international hit, “Downtown,” a song promoting the central business district of towns and cities across North America.

Clark understood that people are drawn to a bustling downtown full of life and energy; often lingering at night where “the neon signs (in this case, 50 years later, LED signs) are pretty.”

“How can you lose?” she asked as she sang the lyrics of her hit song.

Clark understood what Medford officials appear to have not yet grasped about a downtown—and her song should be played for all council and zoning board members to hear: “The lights are much brighter there. You can forget all your troubles—forget all your cares.

So, go downtown, things'll be great when you're downtown. No finer place for sure. Downtown everything’s waiting for you.”

We should note that we are not calling for Medford to be transformed into Times Square or the Las Vegas Strip, but rather believe officials should work to create a better nighttime atmosphere in the downtown promoting later hours for commerce seems reasonable.

The law the toy store threat originated from, Ordinance 2013-01, which prohibits businesses in the downtown (historic district) from displaying LED signs, is an impediment to small business and is broken—as former mayor and councilman James “Randy” Pace rightfully pointed out.

LED signs help attract customers, period, and their removal creates a bad nighttime atmosphere.

Any measure dictating what a business can and cannot have in their storefront—except for bans on harmful and hazardous items or hate speech—is also intrusive.

Since we believe this municipal law is so bad for small business growth, council should break away from tradition and make rescinding it the first order of business at their next meeting.

When a small business can’t have a simple LED ‘open’ sign in their storefront—you don’t

need an expensive, months long study to tell you that it’s a bad law.

Sending a message that the township wants to help its small businesses must be a top priority for council because the passage and enforcement of the law has sent the wrong message.

No matter what business was cited for having an open sign in their storefront—we would view it as nit-picking and government rearing its ugly head.

But this case particularly disturbed us for a variety of reasons.

First, Main Street in Medford has struggled economically over the years. Several businesses have been lost. As one person said on a social media site: the businesses in the downtown need all the help they can get from the township.

But, perhaps more moving is that the town threatened a toy store—a toy store—for something so petty.

Toy stores bring joy to area children.

They take a child’s mind off the troubles of the world. They’re also often a place where families can seek refuge from negativity that so often consumes us today.

There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a child enter a toy store and observing their face light up with a sense of curiosity and imagination.

That is why this move by the township struck a chord with all who have an interest in the town.

It’s also why the Christmas robbery of “Duncan’s Toy Chest” in the 1992 film “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” was a hit, because viewers couldn’t wait to see justice hit the Wet Bandits for daring to plot a burglary of a place of innocence.

In “Home Alone 2,” toy store owner Mr. Duncan gave two turtle doves, the symbol of friendship and love, to Kevin McCallister to show appreciation for McCallister’s generosity.

We hope Medford extends similar appreciation to its businesses for their contributions to town.

“We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares. So, go downtown, things'll be great when you're downtown, don't wait a minute for downtown, everything's waiting for you,” Clark sang.

Letter to the Editor MacArthur Cannot Be Trusted Anymore Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-NJ-3) is making noise against offshore drilling off our coast, but, in actuality, he voted in line with President Donald J. Trump 93.2 percent of the time and thus cannot be trusted.

I personally don't trust MacArthur on any environmental issue since he already voted to allow mining companies to dump their waste sludge; including dangerous heavy metals like selenium, mercury and arsenic; into America’s streams (H.J. Res. 38).

Doesn’t MacArthur know that he represents a Congressional district that values its environment? Whether the streams are in Burlington County, Ocean County or the rest of the country, we—his constituents—are fiercely proud and protective of all of them since clean water is essential to all forms of life.

Plus, MacArthur and his buddies just let something very important expire (besides CHIP). It was a tax on oil companies used to clean up oil spills. The tax lapsed at the end of last year. It was a measly 9 cents a barrel tax, but was tremendously important in funding cleanups as it constituted the main source of revenue for the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund.

The non-renewal of the tax has provided a huge tax break for the oil industry.

Environmentalists call the tax lapse another

industry victory under President Donald J. Trump, at the expense of people and wildlife located near sites susceptible to spills.

Interestingly, one of MacArthur's donors is Energy Capital Partners, a private equity firm that “invests in North America’s energy infrastructure.”

I could go on and on how, at nearly every turn, MacArthur puts following the partyline—or his donors—ahead of you and me.

Did you also know MacArthur voted for a bill to delay the compliance date for ground-level ozone standards? This bill, and its provisions to change the EPA’s ozone review cycle, will roll back the Clean Air Act. Guess who wanted this bill? The American Petroleum Institute and at least 146 other industry groups.

We do not need someone representing us in Congress who thinks it’s OK to fill our streams with an industry’s sludge or allows tax breaks to oil companies when it means cancelling funds designated to clean up spills.

Basically, I don’t trust MacArthur to actually protect us from any number of environmental issues. Repeal and replace him in November!

Social Media Sound Off (Re: Medford Threatens to Fine Toy Store Daily for Having LED 'Open' Sign) I am sorry, but the polka dot building (Pop Shop) is OK, but an open sign is offensive? ~ Stacy Kennedy (Re: Medford Threatens to Fine Toy Store Daily for Having LED 'Open' Sign) This why Medford can’t keep businesses on Main Street. It's not a business-friendly township. ~ David George Mason (Re: Medford Threatens to Fine Toy Store Daily for Having LED 'Open' Sign) People need to stop being so uptight.

I bet Medford doesn't give a f*** what her checks look like when she pays her taxes. ~ Kevin McHugh (Re: Medford Threatens to Fine Toy Store Daily for Having LED 'Open' Sign) That's it! Ban all LED lights starting with the police cars! Now those are offensive and obnoxious! Good thing she didn't walk past my house on Christmas.

Hopefully, the new owners will continue some of their traditions. ~ Alison Abrams Insinga (Re: Landmark Diner in the Pines in the Process of Being Sold) Oh no! I just had the best grilled grouper on Monday! Sad, end of an era! ~ Joan K Hess (Re: Landmark Diner in the Pines in the Process of Being Sold) I use to cut school at Lenape High School in the late 60's and early 70's to go there for breakfast when it was Town and Country Diner. ~ Stephen Steve Mason Please comment on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

PEMBERTON TWP. SENIOR CITIZEN COLUMN

Seniors Enjoy Playing Morning Bingo and Prepare for Two Holiday Dinners

By Ebba Liguori

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

PEMBERTON—Once a month, Pemberton Township seniors are invited to the Aspen Hills Healthcare Center in Pemberton to play Bingo.

Director of Community Relations Margaret Graiff, LPN, of Aspen Hills, organizes the Bingo and calls the numbers.

This is just one facet of her job, reaching out to the senior population.

The game usually takes place on the last Thursday of each month. At about 9 a.m., cars begin pulling into the healthcare center’s parking lot and some of the center’s staff provide valet parking service so seniors do not need to walk long distances.

This is most convenient, and completely free to all. It is service with a smile!

Once inside a spacious all-purpose room, tables are set for breakfast and a buffet is provided with delicious breakfast items.

Scrambled eggs and sausage are always available, along with fresh fruit, and numerous choices of muffins and bagels.

PAGE 9

This past week there was a special treat.

The annual state inspection was taking place, so breakfast was ordered from Christopher’s Caterers of Mt. Holly. The meal included some delicious, crisp bacon and fresh hard rolls.

By 10 a.m. of this past week, the Bingo game started. There are several different games to challenge the seniors. Of course, winning is the goal. Each winner received a gift certificate to use at a local store. This meant that winners can technically select their own choice of prize. The final game was a “cover-all” and the winner got a “double-sized” certificate.

You can bet every senior was paying attention with these quality prizes available. Door prizes are also offered. One never knows what will be in the bag, but there’s always something useful.

Monthly Bingo is available for all local seniors and one does not need to be registered at the Pemberton Township

BMIA Potluck Holiday Dinner Held

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

PEMBERTON—The annual Browns Mills Improvement Association (BMIA) holiday dinner, postponed from December due to snow, was held on Jan. 28.

This is the first time in recent years that the dinner was held on a Sunday afternoon.

Tradition has always been to hold the holiday dinner on a Saturday night. Regular membership meetings are always held on Sundays.

Since the BMIA Building is a premier location, it is frequently booked for meetings and parties. The BMIA books all meetings several months in advance to be certain the preferred meeting dates are secured.

The BMIA Board of Directors met to discuss the options of rescheduling the dinner and decided to try holding the holiday dinner at a Sunday meeting, since other dates were not available.

The idea was a success. Many of the organization’s members were able to attend and the room was crowded.

Worship With Us

The members brought a great variety of food and there was something for everyone.

Among the choices were the usual meatballs and sauce, veggie dishes, fried chicken, and even baked ham.

Side dishes included cole slaw, potato salad and macaroni salad. Choices even included an item based off a winning recipe from an October cranberry bake-off.

BMIA board members brought a variety of desserts. Members and guests enjoyed a pleasant meal and talked about trying to hold some future meals during the afternoon, rather than in the evening.

New BMIA board member, Nadirah Shakir, spoke about the plans for a February meeting. This will be called a “JointTownship Board” meeting and all local civic organizations will be invited to take part. There is strength in numbers, so by combining forces, the organizations should be able to pinpoint problems and provide some solutions. If you are a member of

Senior Center. One should phone 609-8366000 and ask the receptionist to register for an upcoming Bingo game. One must signup every month, and if you are unable to attend, you must phone to cancel. Seating is limited and a wait list is maintained.

Graiff also sponsors a Bingo at the senior center on either the third or fourth Tuesday morning. One does not need to register for these games, just arrive at the center soon after 9 a.m. Coffee and tea are available, but no breakfast. One should be registered at the center to attend any of the programs.

There is no charge to register and most programs are free. Nutritious lunches are served, by reservation only. This provides one more reason to register at the center.

The community is so fortunate to have a facility like Aspen Hills, which is located so close to home. There is always some sort of “outreach” program going on.

Graiff visits the senior center regularly to check the seniors’ blood pressures and answer personal health questions. Often, she finds problems developing in a senior and is able to advise them to visit their physician before the problem becomes more serious.

If a senior becomes hospitalized, Graiff or one of the other community relations staff will stop and visit, while offering advice for rehabilitation services.

Anyone requiring rehab is fortunate to be able to stay at Aspen Hills. The “SMART” Unit caters to recovering seniors needing some time for rehab. Staff is available to work on physical therapy and other forms of short-term assistance. In addition, there is a long-term care option if that becomes necessary. The rooms are attractive and inviting and the staff is attentive. Tours can

PINE BARRENS TRIBUNE, WWW.PINEBARRENSTRIBUNE.COM be easily arranged.

Tickets are selling fast for the Valentine’s Dinner at Garden State Diner on Saturday, Feb. 17. Do not be disappointed, get your tickets soon! This is a five-course meal that includes a fruit cup, hot homemade soup, fresh tossed salad, an entree with a baked potato and a vegetable, followed by a dessert of cake and ice cream. Of course, their famous cinnamon and cheese rolls will be served, along with coffee and tea. This will be a fun day with “Side Car Charlie” entertaining.

The February edition of the Senior Gazette will be published this week. Stop by the center and pick up your copy. The programs are also listed on Pemberton Township’s website under “Senior Services.” The trips sell out quickly, so it is wise to refer to the Senior Gazette and sign up at least six weeks in advance for each trip.

On February 22, the Future Nurses of America Chapter at Pemberton Township High School will visit the center to meet with the seniors. They will provide blood pressure checks and spend time socializing with the seniors. These are always fun times when seniors and high-school students spend time together. This will be the first of three scheduled visits to the center. Stop in and meet our future nurses, or future doctors.

On March 14, Pemberton Township High School’s Interact Club will visit the center to provide a St. Patrick’s Day party. This party will begin at 4 p.m., after the center has closed. It will include a full buffet dinner, interactive events and games, and music for dancing. The seniors look forward to this festive event and there will be a “full house.” Seating is assigned and limited to the capacity of the building, so get your tickets soon to avoid disappointment.

any other local organization, consider encouraging your group to participate in this upcoming meeting.

The joint meeting will be held on Sunday, Feb. 25, at 2 p.m. at the BMIA Building, located conveniently near Mirror Lake Beach, on Arbutus Street, off of Eldridge.

The building is handicapped accessible and there is ample parking available. New

members are always welcome.

This is also a good chance for residents to join and become active in the oldest civic organization in Pemberton Township. The BMIA is entering its 99th year of service to the Township. All residents are invited to join the BMA. Annual dues are only $15 per family. Checks may be sent to: BMIA, PO Box 395, Browns Mills, NJ 08015.

TOURS

she said. “But, because the building was closed, because of construction, the fire extinguishers were not inspected.”

She again stressed that all of the issues found during the morning tours were fixed by 5 p.m. on Jan. 16.

“The fire inspector was here today and yesterday,” she said. “There have been no issues, in both buildings (also Pinelands Regional Junior High School), in two days.”

Stevenson said she has been in classroom D164 every day since the school’s reopening to check to see if there is any foul odor.

“We did have on the first day a very faint odor from off-gassing from the roof,” she said.

“But, there has been no problems since then.”

Stevenson said Synatech, Inc. of Little Egg Harbor Township, was brought in immediately after the odor was smelled, during the morning tours, to remediate the odor and explained why D164 has been the “room of most concern” during the roofing debacle.

“The off-gassing from the roof was impacting D164 because it is a landlocked room (shut in completely) with two air handlers,” she said.

“Once we isolated the concern, it didn’t exist anymore.”

No complaints have surfaced publicly about dust, debris, noise, foul odors or illnesses inside

But, by the evening tours, all of the problems found in the morning were addressed and most of the district’s loudest critics appeared to be satisfied that the school could reopen on time.

However, many parents and community members were still left dumbfounded about the disrepair of the building during the morning tours, especially since the district has a facilities manager.

“We held the building tours so that we could identify problems” said Acting Superintendent Dr. Cheryl Stevenson in a Jan. 19 phone interview. “One of the reasons why we had the building tours is so that we could have people come in with knowledge.”

Stevenson said many of the district’s parents have a construction background.

“Once we got back from the tours, all of the items in the interior were repaired,” she said.

“Anything identified was taken care of. It was all taken care of.”

Stevenson also provided a reason why the fire extinguishers had tags on them dated as far back as 2016.

“Every July and August, they (fire protection equipment company personnel) usually go through the building to check the extinguishers,”

Chaos and Screaming Over Nutella

was perusing the week’s horrible news stories like the one about the Olympic doctor sex abuse case, and another about 11 school shootings this year. I read another on Xanax, and how it’s become rampant among college users, especially British teens! Shame on our world. Then, when it couldn’t get anymore senseless, I saw how rioting broke out over Nutella in France.

What’s in Nutella that would make people go ape crazy over it? People at supermarkets across France literally risked a broken nose to snag a jar of Nutella for $1.75 versus $5.85? The sale apparently triggered the chaos.

Why the craziness? Was it over a few bucks?

Does it speak to our lack of self control? A food addiction?

Let’s zoom in to see what’s in Nutella: Hazelnuts- Nutella is supposed to have 90 to 95 hazelnuts in an average size jar.

There are no peanuts in this. The hazelnuts are roasted and ground to create the smooth, delicious paste. Did you know that centuries ago, in France, the hazel plant was given as a wedding gift to symbolize fertility.

Sugar- Nutella brand includes pure cane sugar and/or beet sugar, and it’s non GMO. Oil- Specifically red palm fruit oil which comes from the African tree, Elaeis Guineensis.

Cocoa powder- This is basically chocolate powder; think of it like you do hot cocoa. It’s processed, fermented and roasted.

Milk- skim milk powder, think of this like you do whey.

Lecithin- A smoothing agent (emulsifier) and it’s derived from either soy beans or

sunflower seeds.

Vanillin- It’s a type of synthetic vanilla for aroma and flavor.

I’d like to propose a natural, delicious spread that tastes similar, but you can make it without risking your life (wink)!

Easy Nutella Spread 3 cups organic hazelnuts, roasted unsalted 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips 1 tsp. tea vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. tea sea salt (Optional) Sweetener to taste Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. If you bought the “roasted” hazelnuts, spread them on a cookie sheet. Cook them for about 5 to 10 minutes to warm them up and loosen their skins. Put them in a kitchen towel and roll them around to remove as much skin as possible. Put the cleaned/ warm hazelnuts in a Vitamix and blend on low until a butter is formed. Melt the dark chocolate in a saucepan or microwave. Add the salt and vanilla. Continue to blend on low. Let it cool to room temperature, so it will thicken.

You will probably want to add maple syrup, or honey. If you’re using one of these liquid sweeteners (this is a bit counter intuitive) but the more liquid sweetener you add, the stiffer it makes the nutella!

You could try confectioner’s sugar (but add that before you process it). If your spread is too thick for your liking, add a teaspoon or two of some oil like grape seed, olive or almond oil. There you have it, nutella in the safety of your own kitchen!

FUN AND GAMES

Are We There Yet?

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

A Story of a Cardinal, and a Brother

id you know that when a cardinal appears, it’s a sign that a loved one who has passed is near?

I didn’t.

I’d always seen cardinals and appreciated their beauty. But I never paid them much mind.

Until recently.

Now, anybody who knew my older brother, Artie, knew what a free spirit he was.

Artie never passed up a contest, never walked away from a confrontation and if you ever double-dog-dared him, he’d laugh out loud and double down on the challenge.

I loved so many things about Artie. He was intelligent, educated and could express facts and statistics from that amazing mind of his and would wow anyone who met him.

What I didn’t love about that dear brother of mine, was that he sported a Mohawk. It caused me great embarrassment and that seemed to bring Artie great joy.

He loved watching our sons compete at football games and oftentimes I would settle into the stands only to have some unsuspecting friend nudge me with a chuckle and a, “Check out the Mohawk at nine-o-clock!”

When I responded with, “Yeah, that’s my brother,” I oftentimes received a, “Yeah, right!”

Then Artie would walk by, tap me on the back and say, “Hey sis!” I would reply with a, “Hey Bro!” and thereby, put an end to the inquisition.

Years ago, Artie found an antique oak Murphy’s chair in an old barn. He purchased it and completely restored it. I later bought it from him, and because I felt that his lifestyle would take him to the great beyond way too soon, I told myself that when Artie passed away, I would always cherish this chair in memory of him.

I placed that chair in a room that my family calls “The Pretty Room,” a room in our home that’s reserved for prayer. There is no TV in that room. No social media, nothing to distract, just

a place to go for solace and meditation.

Artie laughed at the idea of placing it there.

He thought perhaps I should use the chair for something more adventurous. But since it didn’t have safety straps, I was limited.

In the years that followed my purchasing the Murphy’s chair from my brother, Artie jumped off of cliffs, lept out of airplanes and lived life to its fullest.

Then, life slowed him down. That big, strong brother of mine suddenly wasn’t able to do the things that he loved and on a Sunday in August of 2016, the good Lord called Artie home.

Since then Sundays have been hard for me. I spend the day replaying the events in my mind.

Did Artie know how much I loved him? Had I done enough? And I deeply regretted that I was not able to be at his bedside when he passed.

On Artie’s first birthday weekend that followed his passing, I heard a tapping sound.

It was coming out of the Pretty Room. I heard it again and then peered inside and saw a cardinal tapping repeatedly at the window. Just inside that window was Artie’s Murphy’s chair.

It’s hard to believe, but I swear that it’s true.

The cardinal tapped, he perched on a basket that sat outside, and then he tapped some more. He threw his head back, sang a beautiful song, and then tapped again.

The cardinal tapped at that window for the next several months and although he tapped on it several days a week, he never missed a Sunday.

The last Sunday the cardinal appeared was last July, and on my birthday.

I was sad to have the cardinal go, but was glad that he came in the first place. I have no doubt but that he was a sign from my brother, and that he was there to tell me that Artie is in heaven, that I had done enough and that he knew that I loved him with all of my heart.

I am certain that my strong-willed brother had found a way to send me a sign that he is okay.

I also feel that it was no coincidence that the sign Artie sent was sporting a Mohawk.

the school since it reopened and the roof work has been said to have been “substantially completed.”

There was a report of a ceiling collapse in one of the high school’s bathrooms on the first day students went back to the high school, but during a Pinelands Regional Board of Education meeting held later that day, Stevenson denied the collapse occurred.

The completion of the roofing will mark an end to “Phase 1” of the district’s referendumfunded improvement project—but the official

his work—is that we have discovered that the Tremco roof product (used on the high school’s roof) has some defects in it and we’re pursuing the resolution of that,” he said. “Tremco is standing behind their product, while our architect is demanding that we take a roof-core sample and have it independently tested.”

Romanoli said the contractor has offered to put another roof coating on the high school, at their own expense, to make sure the district is satisfied.

The next phases of the project involve-brick work and according to the presentation, it may be even more invasive than the roofing, necessitating the closure of the high school for an entire school year (see separate story). The district may soon go out to bid for the next phases.

Parents expressed concern to the board that the bidding process for the future work could result in the same contractors, who were responsible for the mishaps, getting the job.

Houck said the district must accept the bid of the lowest responsible bidder.

Parents asked her what the district would do if the same companies, who had been involved in the roofing debacle, were to come in with the lowest bid for the other phases of construction.

“The key word is ‘responsible,’” Houck said.

“There are few reasons why the district could legally discard the lowest bidder, but one of the reasons is because the district is engaged in litigation with the lowest bidder. That’s called ‘prior negative experience.”’

Houck, however, stressed that New Jersey Public Contract Laws make it very difficult for the board to reject bids.

In addition to discussing accountability, several members of the board took issue with portions of draft meeting minutes from their October and November meetings, prepared for approval.

As previously reported by this newspaper, these meetings contained finger pointing over a Sept. 10 letter addressed to Business Administrator Stephen J. Brennan, from Epic Environmental.

In the letter, Epic Environmental president James Eberts confirmed that required cleaning of the high school’s metal roof deck was discovered to be incomplete prior to the installation of a new roof on the high school.

The discovery came after debris falling in high-school classrooms was investigated on Sept. 8.

During the previous week, administrators in the district received a NJ School Performance Report (SPR) from the New Jersey Department of Education for the 2016-17 school year. The report highlighted that the district had 80.4 percent of all its students’ acheive AP scores of 3 or higher, a graduation rate of 96.1 percent, an average SAT score of 1155, an average PSAT score of

PINE BARRENS TRIBUNE, WWW.PINEBARRENSTRIBUNE.COM end date of Phase 1 is in question due to an accusation that a roofing product recently used on the high school had defects (see separate story).

However, the school has a number of structural deficiencies that still need to be addressed.

The district is planning to address the deficiencies later this year and next year in other phases.

A recommendation by the district’s construction professionals that the school be closed all of the next school year to allow for the other phases of construction ignited a new firestorm on Jan. 17 (see separate story).

Eberts informed Brennan that some of the debris found on the uncleaned areas of the roof tested positive for asbestos.

While none of the debris that fell in the classrooms tested positive for asbestos, Eberts said there was the potential for roofing debris to continue to enter the school and recommended the district cease all rooftop activities due to the asbestos-containing debris on the exterior.

Eberts’ recommendation was not followed and work continued.

Students and staff were in the high school while the roofing took place.

The work caused dust and ceiling tiles to fall in classrooms and unfamiliar odors. This coincided with unexplained respiratory issues and rashes experienced by students and faculty.

Most of the board members denied at these meetings in question ever being told about the letter or seeing it prior to its discovery by parents in early October.

However, Brennan and board member Jeffrey Bonicky, at these meetings in question, suggested that the contents of the letter were discussed with the board prior to October.

Instead of voting to approve its minutes, the board decided to table them. At issue was the wording of what was told to members about the high-school construction problems and letter.

While Brennan maintained the minutes reflected what transpired, board member Karen Poklikuha (Eagleswood) said she would like the Oct. 2 minutes changed because they didn’t reflect what transpired.

Board Vice President Patricia Chambers took issue with the November minutes, where Brennan gave a detailed statement as to what he had shared with the board and other administrators on the construction issues and letter.

Houck recommended discussing the minutes in executive session to resolve the differences of opinion.

“You could table it and discuss it further, and share with the board what are your changes, what you are proposing,” she said.

Brennan maintained the minutes were an accurate reflection of what transpired at the previous meetings.

“After reviewing the recording, I do believe the minutes accurately reflect that recording,” he said. “So, I don’t believe there are any changes necessary.”

Board member Stephen Kubricki moved to table the meeting’s minutes to “give the board more time to look at them.”

The board voted to table the minutes, with Bonicky voting “no.”

1003, and a percentage of students pursuing post-secondary education exceeding the state average.

The district’s chronic absenteeism rate of 9.3 percent, also listed in the report, was below the statewide average of 14.3 percent.

The district’s graduation rate, also discussed in the report, exceeded the state’s rate by almost 6 percent. The PSAT average exceeded the state’s score by 39 points and the district’s SAT average score was 52 points better than the state.

Estimates the two men provided showed that the trailers, to be used only during 2018-19 school year to alleviate scheduling pressures and room constraints due to the closure of the high school, would cost about $750,000.

Plans presented Garrison and Romanelli showed that the trailers would provide about 10 rooms for instruction and be placed to the far right of the main entrance of the junior high school, near its library. The two men said the trailers would be connected to the utilities of the main building.

Garrison and Romanelli added that crews would work to reopen the high-school gymnasium area first, possibly by Dec. 21, so that gym classes or other instruction, as well as the sports programs, could operate going into 2019.

News that the district’s construction professionals were recommending more disruption to the high-school schedule; with temporary classroom trailers, split sessions, or other options; was met with resistance after the professionals’ presentation.

Some parents questioned why the construction could not be contained and why the impracticality of sectioning off the building during construction is just coming to light now. Other parents said their children were weary from the months spent in split sessions already. Additionally, several parents feared a tremendous impact on their child(rens)’s education.

Stevenson said providing the best education for the district’s students is paramount, as is asking district staff how to best preserve education during the construction.

“We have to present and approve a school calendar that meets the state mandates for

PAGE 17 instruction time,” she said. “We are looking at all the options.”

Stevenson said the quality of education and safety of the facilities goes hand-in-hand.

“I don’t want to be on a split schedule, but the amount of work that has to be done is extensive,” she said. “If not a split schedule, how does this project go forward safely? We have to weigh the magnitude of construction, the integrity of the building and the academic piece of this.”

As more and more parents raised questions about the presentation, Stevenson said the option contained in the presentation was not necessarily what would be chosen, and that much discussion needed to take place.

Board President Susan Ernst (Little Egg Harbor) said there was not much time for discussion, since the matter has to be put before the school board for a vote soon.

Several board members also voiced concern that this was the first time they were hearing about the need to close the high school during the upcoming school year.

Board member Thomas D. Williams, Jr. (Bass River) said he wondered if renting trailers would even be an allowed use of referendum money.

Parents, riled up over the presentation and the board’s surprise over it, also criticized athletics being given the highest priority and condemned the construction professionals for botching the roofing project.

One parent called the construction professionals’ proposal “another nightmare.”

“The presentation tonight was to give you an idea and to present options available,” Stevenson said. “The split schedule (that just ended) was a short-term fix. We can’t make the same mistakes again.”

Interestingly, in the presentation, Garrison and Romanelli revealed a surplus of $3.5 million is expected on the referendum’s $53 million bond.

HOME, GARDEN, AND FARMING Farm& Food File

Fifth Avenue Cowboys

aybe it’s a sign of our fastchanging times, but paradox and irony seem as common today as lunch and supper. For example, the world’s largest taxi company, Uber, owns no taxis and the world’s second largest air force is the U.S. Navy.

The same is true of the American beef sector. As of mid-January, the owner of the world’s largest cattle feedlot operation—a 980,000-head behemoth with 11 feedyards from Oklahoma to Idaho—isn’t a rancher, a feedlot operator or even a meatpacker.

Instead, it’s Pinnacle Asset Management, L.P., “a private… alternative asset management firm,” based at 712 Fifth Ave. in New York, just catty-corner from Trump Tower and only three blocks south of Central Park.

It became the nation’s largest cattle feeder Jan. 18 when it purchased JBS USA’s massive operation, known as Five Rivers Cattle Feeding, for “approximately $200 million.”

JBS USA is the American arm of Brazilian meatpacker JBS S.A., a global meat company whose majority owners, brothers Wesley and Joesely Batista, are eyeball-deep in scandals in their home country. (JBS also owns the majority of Pilgrim’s Pride, North America’s largest poultry company.)

As previously reported here, the scandals gained traction last summer. Last fall, JBS S.A. announced a “divestment program” to finance a $3.2 billion fine levied against the brothers for an alleged bribery scheme in Brazil.

Shortly thereafter, JBS sold the Canadian branch of Five Rivers, a 75,000-head feeding operation, for US$40 million. The most recent Five Rivers sale to Pinnacle marks JBS’s exit from all North American cattle feeding.

In fact, the JBS-Pinnacle deal marks the first time in decades that no major U.S. meatpacker—including today’s three major players: JBS, Cargill, and Tyson—own any cattle, a one-time hallmark of the old boys’ meatpacking club.

That’s a big deal because for decades cowboys and feedlot owners not “aligned”—or under some form of contract with a packer— complained bitterly to federal authorities that packer-controlled cattle allowed Big Meat to manipulate cash cattle prices. Those complaints led to successful efforts in Congress to require federal Mandatory Price Reporting by meatpackers and to unsuccessful

cattlemen’s efforts in federal court to sue packers for collusion and price manipulation.

The current wave of divestitures, however, won’t prevent packers from having access to cattle in their once-owned feedlots. As part of their $200-million deal with Pinnacle, JBS noted that Pinnacle “will continue delivering fed cattle to JBS USA packing plants.”

So JBS USA, like Uber, and Cargill, too, for that matter, has figured out it doesn’t need inventory in order to sell inventory. It only needs unlimited access to inventory.

But it’s even more paradoxical than that. In its purchase announcement, Pinnacle explained that it was “excited to work closely with our operating partner, Arcadia Asset Management, and our strategic partner, Ospraie Management, to support… Five Rivers’ talented management team.”

So three new firms are now the functional equivalent of the former one and none have explained what their exact roles in America’s biggest cattle feeding company will be other than to supply cattle to its former owner.

In a presentation “prepared exclusively for San Bernardino County Employees Retirement Association” last Aug. 8, Pinnacle described itself as an “alternative asset management firm with a singular focus on global commodities market.” Its “AUM,” or assets under management, it explained, “is $2.4 billion, with a global investor base that includes public and corporate pension funds, insurance companies, endowments, foundations, and family offices.”

Does even one of Pinnacle’s “global investor base” know that their asset manager just bet $200 million on a business where, according to Iowa State University data, cattle feeders lost an average $51.57 per head from 2008 through 2017?

Now that’s a paradox. Despite the irrefutable, long-term unprofitability of cattle feeding, cattle continue to be fed and packers continue to make money. In fact, there seems to be so much money in cattle feeding now that even Fifth Avenue cowboys are getting in the game.

How are they doing it?

Facts can’t explain it and it’s almost certain the federal government won’t question it. So it’s a rather safe bet something other than an actual paradox is at work here.

An even safer bet is that you and I are going to pay for it.
