Upon Retiring After More Than Two Decades as Tabernacle Township Clerk, La Shawn Barber Recalls the Part of the Job She Found to Be Most Gratifying —Helping Wayward Teens Turn Their Lives Around While They Helped Her By Andy Milone Staff Writer
TABERNACLE— One of La Shawn Ruffin Barber’s fondest memories of her more than two decades as Tabernacle Township municipal clerk is of a heartwarming voicemail she received from one of many juvenile offenders whom she helped during her earlier years there to fulfill a community service component of their rehabilitation. The message came from one of the young men whose participation in the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission’s “Boot Camp” required him to spend time in the Tabernacle Municipal Building as an office assistant to Barber. The teens taking part in the program
would often arrive thinking that they would only be assigned to perform menial tasks, such as picking up trash or cleaning windows, but instead found themselves also helping with the day-to-day clerical operations of a municipal office involving such responsibilities as making copies, administering dog licensing paperwork, organizing files alphabetically or putting together tax bills. Barber didn’t expect to hear back from any of them after they had graduated from the state program, however. So, when she listened to this particular update, the overall impact became very real. “Oh, Ms. La Shawn, I wanted to tell you what I’m doing nowadays,” she recalled
him saying. He then went on to express his appreciation for the experience he could add to his resume and to tell her he had recently earned his bachelor’s degree. The voicemail was one she found so gratifying that she saved it for many years until it was inadvertently deleted, much to her dismay, because of a change in the township phone system. She still regards it as one of the high points of her years of helping kids who had gone astray, most between the ages of 15 and 17, become productive members of society while teaching them how government works at its most fundamental level—a role that was perhaps the best part See MENTOR/ Page 12
MEDFORD —According to a criminal complaint written by Cheryl Glassford, a special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Medford Township resident Stephanie Hazelton was a knowing participant in the violent and deadly insurrection that occurred on Jan. 6, in which an unruly mob stormed through the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. with the apparent intention of disrupting the congressional certification of Joseph R. Biden’s November election victory, which was then in progress. Hazelton’s alleged actions on that day, Glassford maintained in an accompanying account presented to Magistrate Zia M. Faruqui of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, put her in violation of three different federal statutes. Her offenses, the agent contended, include unauthorized entry in a restricted building and impeding or disrupting official functions, obstructing or impeding law-enforcement personnel and federally protected functions, as well as “aiding and abetting” such activity, and engaging in violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. But that is a far cry from the version of events presented by Hazelton’s attorney, Daryl Kipnis, whose offices are located in both Medford and Somerset. In a statement emailed on Feb. 1 to this reporter, Kipnis, who ran an unsuccessful See RAMPAGE/ Page 12
