MEDFORD—Nearly two months after Brooks W. Garrison, an architect with Garrison Architects, unveiled a Medford Township Council plan to construct a two-floor, over 20,0 0 0 -squa re-foot Medford Township combination library-municipal building at 51 Union St., council unanimously awarded a $8,194,000 contract for the project to Arthur J. Ogren, Inc. Tuesday night (Oct. 15). According to Township Clerk and Manager Katherine Burger’s office, Medford received and opened bids for the construction of the new building on Oct. 9. Seven bids were received by the township, according to her office, and Arthur J. Ogren, based in Vineland, was the lowest bidder.

Eagle Scout Honored for Project to Provide for New Park Benches at Animal Orphanage

By Douglas D. Melegari

MEDFOR D —A member of Medford Township Boy Scout Troop 20 was recognized earlier this month for his “high standards” and “hard work” in obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout by recently constructing and installing eight park benches for the Voorhees Animal Orphanage (VAO) in Voorhees Township. Medford Township Council issued a proclamation honoring Liam Doherty on Oct. 1. “Liam enhanced the VAO by allowing older and worn benches that were unsafe to both people and animals to be removed and replaced with new benches,” said Medford Mayor Charles “Chuck” Watson. “These new benches will be utilized by the orphanage’s staff, and residents from throughout the area who visit the VAO to care for and adopt animals and pets.” Doherty, he said, directed more than 25 youth and adult volunteers from Troop 20, plus coordinated with the VAO’s staff, to see the project through to completion. “This collaboration saved the nonprofit VOA several thousand dollars in purchase, assembly and installation costs, and thus allowed more financial resources to be allocated towards the care of animals,” Watson said. The mayor pointed out that achieving the rank of Eagle Scout is the “highest honor and rank” in the Boy Scouts of America organization.

“I am very honored to read this proclamation as this is one of our favorite things to do, especially for Councilman Bradley Denn and I, who are both Eagles Scouts from (Medford Township Boy Scout) Troop 26,” Watson said. “As the result of Liam’s project, and other Troop 20 community service projects in which he has actively participated in, Liam better understands the value of community involvement and civic duty.” Ken Doherty, Liam Doherty’s father, told this newspaper that his son graduated a year early from BCIT-Medford, while at the same time earning an Associate Degree in Mathematics from Rowan College at Burlington County in Mount Laurel. “Now, at 18 years old, he is completing his final year at Rowan University to earn a BS in Mathematics,” said Ken Doherty of his son.

Medford Awards $2.1 Million Contract for Massive Road Improvement Program

By Douglas D. Melegari Staff Writer

MEDFORD—$2,184,500 worth of road improvements were unanimously authorized by Medford Township Council earlier this month as part of a massive road improvement program that the municipality has put together over the course of the last year. Hartford Road, Stanwood Court, Jackson Road, Falls Court, Haines Avenue, Coates Street, Big Look Trail, Sunrise Trail, Mountain Run Road, Gottliebs Field Road, Fairview Road and Everett Drive are the municipal streets that will be improved through the road program. The township received four bids from paving firms on Sept. 25 that wanted to take on the project. The lowest responsible bidder was Arawak Paving Co., Inc. and thus the firm was awarded a $2,184,500 contract on Oct. 1 to execute approximately 75,000 square yards of variable depth milling, 2,500 tons of bituminous-base course paving and 12,000 tons of

bituminous-surface course paving on the municipal streets. Also included in the contract is selective base repair, selective-dense-graded-aggregate subbase repair, resetting of castings and valve boxes, selective-concrete curb replacement, concrete gutter removal, handicap ramp replacement, selective-bituminous and concrete driveway apron replacement, storm and sanitary sewer pipe reconstruction, inlet reconstruction, traffic striping, traffic signage replacement, and related appurtenances on the municipal streets. The $2.1 million project also includes such improvements to a parking lot for a municipal gazebo, which sits off Main Street, and to the Hartford Crossing natural biking and hiking trail system, located in the forest near the Harford Crossing Sports Complex. If the funding is not used entirely by Arawak to make the aforementioned improvements, the contract calls for the paving firm to conduct “similar work” on Pine Cone Trail and Durwood Court.

Dr. Richard J. Weber, DMD, owner of Love Your Smile Dental Center in Tabernacle, celebrates earning Incisal Edge’s 9th Annual 40 Under 40 America’s Best Young Dentist Award by doing a red-carpet photoshoot put together by the lifestyle magazine in New York City at The James New York NoMad.

By Douglas D. Melegari Staff Writer

TABERNACLE—Dr. Richard J. Weber, DMD, who in 2017 opened a from-scratch practice in Tabernacle Township that now serves more than 1,000 patients, has received a distinguished honor from Incisal Edge, a lifestyle magazine distributed throughout the country for dental professionals. Weber, a recent recipient of the magazine’s 9th Annual 40 Under 40 America’s Best Young Dentist Award, is one of 40 dentists in the country showcased on three dozen pages of the magazine for offering a unique blend of professional skill in the office, good works out of the office and a “certain unassailable sartorial style they wear lightly, literally and figuratively, from morning till night.” “My job is to educate, inform and empower patients to make the best decisions for their oral and overall health,” said Weber of his dental philosophy upon receipt of the honor. “The choice is always the patient’s, but my role is to make sure they fully understand what they’re signing up for when they decide their treatment.” A panel of judges selected Weber from hundreds of nominated candidates. The award was celebrated by doing a red-carpet photoshoot in New York City at The James New York NoMad (explaining the “GQ” picture in the banner ad on the front page of this newspaper). “It is a national award, which recognizes 40 dentists under the age of 40 who have demonstrated exceptional professional skill in the office and a dedication to their patients and profession,” Weber said. Weber, who earned his fellowship with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, is also a clinical instructor at The Rasner Institute

where he not only teaches other dentists how to remove teeth in a gentle way, but also how to do bone grafting and implant surgery. He also lectures on the topic of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and how dentists can help detect and treat the potentially life-threatening disorder. “We treat OSA in our office and work closely with the best medical doctors to get patients the best care possible,” said Weber to this newspaper following the award celebration. “While I have been recognized for the more complex aspects of dentistry, my passions are getting to know my patients and establishing a bond with them and getting patients out of pain. Those are the most satisfying things that I do. That— and restoring and creating a beautiful smile for people.” Weber, who has had an exemplary academic career and possesses a DMD from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, graduated at the top of his class and, through residency and externships, went on to learn esthetic dentistry, implant placement and restoration, endodontics, emergency dental care, surgery, adult braces and Invisalign. Weber’s dental practice, Love Your Smile Dental Center, where he combines appreciation, respect and a deep commitment for his hometown, is located at 1529 Route 206 in Tabernacle. Weber, who told his mom after his first dental visit at age 3 that he wanted to be a dentist, and never wavered after that, repeated what he said when first interviewed by this newspaper in 2017. “The mouth is a sacred place for eating, smiling and chewing,” he said. “Unfortunately, it can be the source of great discomfort, pain and embarrassment as well. I want everyone to love their smile.”

Anti-Semitic Fliers Left on Vehicles EVESHAM—Authorities are conducting an investigation into anti-Semitic literature found on several vehicles parked at an establishment in Evesham Township. According to Evesham Township Police Chief Christopher Chew, hand-typed printouts were found by restaurant patrons on three vehicles parked in the Fleming’s Steakhouse parking lot on Oct. 10. Police received the first call about the literature at around 10:30 p.m. One of the fliers, the police chief said, appeared to have information containing antiIsrael statements and the others were antiJewish in nature. “The Evesham Township Police Department will conduct a thorough investigation into identifying the individual who is responsible for distributing this anti-Semitic literature,” Chew said. “I want to ensure the residents of Evesham, and the Jewish community, that we will not tolerate this type of bias intimidation in our community.” The police chief added that patrons of the steakhouse also reported observing an older

white man, who has a medium build, paunch and comb-over hair style leaving the literature on the vehicles. The suspect also was seen wearing a teal jumpsuit. An investigator, he said, responded to the scene and “collected the items of evidence.” “Evesham Township has absolutely zero tolerance for such flagrant anti-Semitism, or any other form of evil and bigotry in our town,” said Mayor Jaclyn Veasy. “I call on all of Evesham’s residents and businesses to come together at this time and join me in condemning such shameless displays of hatred. I also have full faith that our highly-decorated Evesham Township Police Department will not relent in the investigation of this incident until police can identify anyone responsible and see that they’re prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” If anyone has information about this incident, you are asked to contact the Evesham Township Police Department at 856-983-1116, or by contacting the police department’s Confidential Tip Line at 856-983-4699.

GUEST COMMENTARY LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Withdrawal of Troops in Syria Wrong I strongly disagree with President Donald J. Trump’s decision to withdrawal U.S. troops from northeastern Syria. Our Kurd allies have been instrumental in our fight against ISIS. Our allies must know America always fulfills its responsibilities. A withdrawal puts our own national security at risk, as well as our European allies and Israel. It also increases the chances of an ISIS resurgence. I urge the president to exert American leadership and stand with our Kurd allies and the multinational coalition to destroy ISIS.

Jason Crow (CO-06), Elise Stefanik (NY-21), Abigail Spanberger (VA-07), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06) and I returned from a congressional delegation visit, led by Crow, to Turkey, Afghanistan and the Syria-Jordan border. We have prepared the following bipartisan delegation statement in response to the decision to pull back U.S. troops from northern Syria: As members of the House Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence Committees, we returned from a bipartisan congressional delegation trip to Turkey, Afghanistan and the Syria-Jordan border. During our trip, we met with foreign governmental leaders and our U.S. security, intelligence and diplomatic leadership to discuss our ongoing counterterrorism efforts, the threats posed by terrorist groups, including ISIS and the impact of the region’s instability on our national security. Over and over again, we heard from U.S. and foreign leaders about the danger posed to the U.S. and our allies if Turkish forces moved into northern Syria, an area protected by our Kurdish allies, the Syrian Defense Forces (SDF). The SDF has been our primary ally on the ground in the fight against ISIS, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with U.S. forces, and now guarding 11,000 battle-hardened ISIS fighters. At the same time, Turkey views these Kurdish soldiers as a risk to their security priorities. The bottom line is that these Kurdish soldiers are the first line of defense in maintaining the gains we have made against ISIS; if Turkey attacks these Kurdish soldiers, there is a grave risk that the ISIS fighters they guard will escape and

return to the battlefield. P r e s i d e n t D o n a l d J. Tr u m p’s administration announcement regarding Syria is a misguided and catastrophic blow to our national security interests. Not only will this decision further destabilize the region, it will make it more difficult for the U.S. to recruit allies and partners to defeat terrorist groups like ISIS. We call on the administration to work with the same U.S. leaders, diplomats, and intelligence officials we met with this past week to understand the grave consequences of this rash decision and to develop a longterm strategy for countering the terrorist threat in Syria. Kim, who represents New Jersey’s Third Congressional District in the House of Representatives, is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, where he serves the Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Readiness and as a member of the Subcommittee on Intelligence and Emerging Threats and Capabilities. Prior to serving in Congress, Kim served in Afghanistan as a strategic advisor to Generals David Petraeus and John Allen. Kim went on to serve as Director of Iraq in Obama’s National Security Council, where he coordinated the crisis response to countering the rise of ISIS.

Let’s Drain the Swamp with Impeachment T h i rd Cong ressiona l Dist r ict Rep. Andy Kim can no longer masquerade as a moderate. He promised not to vote for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House, yet he did. He vowed to work across the aisle to get things done, but has produced no legislation that actually does so. Instead, Kim joined the impeachment conga-line, which began with physical threats against President Donald J. Trump electors to the Electoral College and the constant, never-ending investigations. The now-exposed, phony Steele dossier and the Mueller Report denies any collusion between Trump and the Russians. However, there was Russian collusion, when former Fi rst Lady, Senator a nd P residentia l Candidate Hillary Clinton, and the Democrat party, funneled campaign money to Russia to pay for the Russian disinformation used in the Steele dossier. There was also the Democrats’ use of the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), as well other agencies, to illegally spy on U.S. citizens and the opposing political party through falsely obtained Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants.

U k ra inia n assista nce about the 2016 cor r uption is por t rayed by K im a nd Democrats as attempting to influence our elections in 2020. Might I refer Kim to the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty signed by former President Bill Clinton that obligates the U.S. and Uk raine to affirmatively cooperate to root out corruption. This is called enforcing the law. Ca n cr i m i na ls merely r un for t he Democratic nomination for president to avoid investigation? Perhaps Kim didn’t see the video of Presidential Candidate Joe Biden bragging about getting the Ukrainian Prosecutor, who was investigating the company employing his son, Hunter Biden, fired? Hunter Biden was being paid $50,000 a month! Joe Biden, as vice president, demanded the prosecutor be fired in six hours, or else the U.S. would withhold $1 billion dollars in taxpayer loan guarantees: quid pro quo. So, let’s have that vote to impeach Trump, so that at the U.S. Senate trial, all of these folks at DOJ, FBI and the CIA can be put under oath and asked questions about their involvement in all of these affairs. Talk about draining the swamp, let’s vote!

Bad leadership! They (the council members) only care about filling their pockets with our tax money. ~Connie Schipske

(Re: Pemberton Council Decides to Unanimously Dissolve Municipal Utilities Authority) Drainage was so poor in front of my house in Pemberton Township that I had a manmade lake form after every rainfall. Pemberton Township Public Works stopped answering its phones due to all of our complaints. Public works posted on Facebook that it was going to block off the road and begin construction, but then one day, it removed all of the signs and cars were stalling in front of my house after traveling through deep water. I had to call the cops since public works refused to answer its phone. Public works, much later on, finally fixed the collapsed drain. Now, it is going to be in charge of the PTMUA’s infrastructure? I see problems in the future just because they want more money. ~Shirley Wright

PEMBERTON—The 100th anniversary of the Browns Mills Improvement Association (BMIA) was celebrated at the BMIA Building, in the Browns Mills section of Pemberton Township, last Saturday. More than 60 residents and members joined in the Oct. 12 celebration, with a catered dinner provided by Colonial Village Caterers. The mood was festive as the group gathered. The BMIA established the early social life of the community by sponsoring parties and activities around Mirror Lake. This active social group also contributed greatly to the formation of today’s community. It was involved in the early politics of the community by encouraging the establishment of a community water system, and later a sewer system. It kept a watchful eye on the quality of the lakes and roads. Many improvements were encouraged by BMIA involvement. “The strength of a community can often be measured by the actions of its residents,” said Mayor David Patriarca. “The BMIA has stood out as a leading civic organization, guiding the

way in Browns Mills for the past 100 years. As the mayor of a community, you have to respect the history that an organization such as the BMIA has on the building of a town.” Historic displays were set up around the room for residents to view. Several speakers spoke about past accomplishments and the families involved with the initiatives through the years. The BMIA holds an annual dinner in October to install its elected officers for the year. Patriarca swore in Sherry Scull as president. Doris Green will serve as vice president of the organization. Adrienne Leonard was honored for her more than 40 years of active service to the BMIA. Leonard was the first female president to be elected to BMIA office after serving several years as vice president. The next BMIA meeting will be on Oct. 27 at 2 p.m. in the BMIA Building. The program will include a Meet the Candidates Forum and the annual Cranberry Bake-Off.” Bake a special treat using local berries, enter it into the bake-off and see if you are a winner. Following the judging, residents will have an opportunity to sample delicious treats.

PEMBERTON—About 50 senior citizens from Pemberton Township took an excursion to Doolan’s Shore Club, in Spring Lake, on Oct. 10 to participate in Oktoberfest, a fall party and show designed especially for local seniors. Mike Byrne, an Irish tenor and guitarist, along with All-Star Productions, hosted the event tailored to fit the senior fixed-income budget, yet providing some of the highest quality of musical and comedic entertainers the Northeast has to offer. Doolan’s, at the Jersey Shore, working in tandem with Byrne, offers American and German food and music during the autumn occasion. This year’s selections included beef barley soup, followed by a choice of Sauerbraten (German pot roast), Chicken Kiev, or salmon with a lemondill sauce. German chocolate cake was served for dessert. A highlight of the party was the one hour openbar preceding the meal. Music was provided by the GB’s Bavarian Boys Show Band, a multi-talented quartet whose members have been playing together for more than 45 years. The band has a great repertoire of German style folk songs to drink to and sing along with. Seniors were delighted to lift their glasses high as they joined in the songs. The show also included a comedian, fresh off a cruise ship tour. A few days later, seniors from the Pemberton area attended a presentation by Abigail Iannotti, of Veteran Care Services. She provided very important information for local veterans and

surviving spouses. Iannotti stressed that if one has served during wartime, even if it was for a day, and one has a need for care either at home or in an assisted living facility, there may be financial benefits available to them. She said if one has less than $350,000 in assets, not including a house or car, there is a greater likelihood that assistance is available. Veteran Care Services is a private company that will assess one’s eligibility and complete an application process. It usually takes a few months to receive a judgement, according to Iannotti, and that money would be paid via one large check. Veteran Care Services, she noted, takes two months of benefits from that check as compensation for its assistance. An individual veteran can complete a filing without assistance, but Iannotti contended that gathering all of the necessary information and completing required paperwork takes time. She said that often claims are refused because of a technicality, forcing one to refile. If one is not eligible, Veteran Care Services will inform the veteran up front that the claim is not valid. “It can be much easier to allow an experienced company to complete the process the first time,” Iannotti said. “The good part about these benefits is that they are all tax-exempt.” Benefits can be as high as $2,230 per month. C o n t a c t I a n n o t t i a t A b i g a i l@ VeteranCareServices.com to learn more about the available benefits. She will make an appointment to interview you for an application. There is no charge to you unless you receive the benefits.

The Mouth:

Gateway to Your Health The Sneaky Sweet Secrets Hiding in Our Medicine: Part II Since I am a dentist and not a nutritionist, should I be leaving the issue of clearer labeling of nutritional facts on medication bottles to Dr. Richard Weber the experts in nutrition and pharmacology? Well, when someone is feeling sick and takes Nyquil, for example, before bed, they are going to sleep with high fructose corn syrup in their mouth at just the time when their saliva is slowing down (or even shutting off) due to the ingredients within the medication. This combination of sugar, and low or no saliva, places people at high risk for developing decay in their teeth. Similarly, most cough drops including Halls, Vicks, Ricola, Luden’s and many more all contain sugar in one form or another. You’ll see things on their labels about how great it tastes, but not the sugar content. Ricola’s original flavor has 3.2g of sugar in each cough drop. At least they list the sugar content on their website. When we have a sore throat, one typically consumes cough drops throughout the day. We rarely brush between cough drops. This repeated exposure to sugar is the exact way that decay forms. Frequent exposure to sugars = more bacteria/plaque = more

acid from those bacteria on your teeth = cavities. Now, this article isn’t intended to lobby politicians to force the pharmaceutical industry to list nutritional values, or a plea to pharma companies to be more responsible in their labeling methods. The goal, instead, is to help people navigate things which impact their oral and overall health. So, what you can do is: 1. Always read the inactive ingredients list looking for words that mean sugar (corn syrup, sucrose, fructose, glucose, etc.). 2. If there is sugar in your medication, treat that medication like you would a piece of candy: brush your teeth immediately after taking it. If it is cough drops you are placing in your mouth, make sure you are rinsing your mouth with water after each drop. Maybe, one day, all medications will be as transparent as Mary Poppins, but until then, keep your eyes open and your teeth clean! info@LoveYourSmileDental.com

What to Avoid Prior to Surgery, Tests? I recently wrote about some lab tests you can order yourself, thus taking the headache out of getting lab tests. But what about the important instructions that come with some lab tests, and what are the best instructions to follow if you have a surgery scheduled? The most common inquiry is this: “ D o I r e a l ly ne e d t o st op a l l my medications before this test?” T h is question isn’t easy to a nswer because some medications are needed for comfort and well-being. For example, what if you are reliant on your morning pill for acid reflux? You can safely stop it abruptly, but, if you don’t take it, you will be very uncomfortable. Analgesics, however, like tramadol, oxyco done a nd mor ph i ne, you ca n’t just suddenly stop those or you’ll slip into withdraw pretty quickly! Ask your healthcare provider if you’re allowed to take those pills, if prescribed them, the morning of your procedure. You also cannot suddenly stop an antidepressant or anti-epileptic drug. These and many other medications all require slow tapering to get off of them. If you sudden ly d iscont i nue cer t a i n d r ugs, t hen you could encounter da ngerous withdrawal symptoms, even seizures. I can see why this question comes up a lot for patients. Ask the question well before your surger y so that you don’t have to reschedule it due to this type of oversight. Blood thinners are the most dangerous ones to remain on if you’re having surgery, or some procedure that requires an IV drip or a blood draw, like a colonoscopy for example. You do not want your blood to be super thin when you go in for these procedures or the bleeding could become profuse or internalized. So, for sure, you

Suzy Cohen AMERICA’S PHARMACIST

do not want to be on blood thinning drugs for at least three days prior to some tests. Another category of medications that people don’t usually warn about, but I feel should be included in this conversation are those drugs that slow down your heart rate. My reasoning is that anesthesia also slows down your heart rate and the combo could lead to severe bradyca rdia. I’m referring to “beta” and “calcium” channel blockers. Another important question is, “Should I really stop eating and drinking before a test?” The blanket answer is, “Yes!” If the facility or hospital puts that request on your instruction sheet, you should follow it. Eating and drinking too close to surgery could force a reschedule of the surgery. The worry is aspiration. As for other tests, it becomes less clear. For example, if you are scheduled to have a pelvic ultrasound to see your cervix or ovaries, I am not sure why food would be a problem. Likewise, I do not understand the need for “no food or drink” if you’re having a thyroid blood test. You probably should eat before that type of test; the results will be more realistic. There are certain things that you should not take or eat before a urine test. The list is very long, but generally speaking, avoid beets, coffee, caffeinated tea and B vitamins.

The Important Role Played by Physical Therapists An injury or illness can impact a person’s mobility and ability to perform everyday activities. While medicine and other treatments can help the situation, physical therapists are often sought to help individuals get back on track. The American Physical Therapy Association says physical therapists examine each individual patient and develop plans using treatment techniques to promote mobility, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent further disability. In addition, physical therapists work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness- and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles. Physical therapists frequently work

with patients’ larger medical teams to provide customized care depending on patients’ needs. Physical therapists may begin their treatment plans by gathering patients’ histories and reviewing any tests and imaging the patients may have had. This information, combined with physical examinations and studies of the injuries or illnesses, will help physical therapists to establish treatment plans for the patients. Men and women who have been told they need physical therapy can heed to the following tips as they look for therapists to work with. • Get a referral from your primary doctor or orthopedist. With some insurance plans, a referral will be needed for treatment. Otherwise, use

your insurance plan’s provider directory to find a physical therapist who accepts your insurance. • Check your insurance benefits to determine how much coverage you have for physical therapy. You may be limited to a certain number of sessions or have no restrictions at all. • Many physical therapists are board certified in one specialty. They have passed tests and have documented hours treating certain conditions. This can be helpful if you require a pediatric specialist or one who has expertise with the back or neck. Any physical therapist or therapist’s assistant should be qualified and licensed. • Ask if you will be the physical therapist’s only patient at an

appointment. Some treat one individual at a time, while others may see two or three patients at a time. • Find out who will be treating you. You may be assigned the same therapist each time. If you are getting services at a therapy group, you may have a different therapist for each visit. • Always ask questions before and after a treatment so you can continue to work on the healing process on your own and so you know which activities are safe, which should change as your treatment progresses. Physical therapists play an integral role in helping restore patients’ mobility and helping them avoid further injury so that patients can maximize their quality of life.

Physical Therapy can help you improve mobility, manage pain, recover from injury y, and prevent future injury and disease!

At 3 DIMENSIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY we are focused on helping people return to their best health possible! We work together with our patients to create treatment plans focused on reaching individual goals and using the best physical therapy practices.

A Loose Timeline for Key Car Maintenance Tasks Taking care of your car pays off. In fact, regularly maintaining your vehicle results in it having a longer lifespan, providing better gas mileage, requiring fewer repairs and having a higher resale value. Though the precise schedule for your vehicle’s maintenance tasks depends on its make and model (check your owner’s manual for specifics), here’s a rough guideline indicating approximately when to perform them.

Not the ‘A Crew,’ But Can Hold My Own I am not sure if every woman who marries a builder gets sucked into the business a little more than she wants to, but I can tell you that I certainly have. During these many years that I have been married to that man of mine, I have helped set trusses, shoveled my share of fresh concrete and actually chewed my husband out for not telling me about an impact drill he had in his possession when we were hanging sheet rock. These are all on our own home jobs, mind you. I am not good enough to make the “A-Crew,” and must tell you, that is just because I don’t want to. Pat has taken my talents of hammer swinging and belt sanding and used it to his advantage as often as possible. While it is nice to be able to hang my own pictures and repair my own furniture, one has to be on her game with Pat. As the old saying goes, “The more you know, the more you have to do.” Given that old adage, I have avoided changing oil in the car, changing out door knobs and replacing the whooper in the bathroom drain that plugs up the hole. Still, I have been sucked into insulating large rooms and back framing trusses. I became much more wise about these things after I turned age 50. It was not that I was ever afraid that Pat would leave me for a young filly who knew how to run a skill saw, it was more because I was never one to back down from a challenge. On or around the year that I turned age 49, my Pat walked into our antique shop and sized up Terrie (the gal that works with us) and myself for a minute. I didn’t know what he had in mind, but I knew the look. Terrie was new at the time and asked me under her breath, “What does he want?” “I don’t know,” I replied. “But it isn’t good.” “No, Pat,” I called out as he started to cross the room. “But you don’t even know what it is!” he responded. “Whatever it is we aren’t doing it,” I replied. Terrie has enough curiosity to kill a cat so she couldn’t help herself. “What is it?” she asked like a newbie. “Well, I was just thinking that you two girls look strong enough to run that two-man auger that we have out back and we could double down on our timeline and get some holes dug,” replied Pat. I offered up a pretty emphatic “No!” to my

Lori Clinch COLUMNIST

Pat regarding his machine running world and it certainly wasn’t the last. Although I could still run the skid loader, pull his trailers and drive his dump truck to the sand pit, I was no longer willing to do it and it was for a good reason—I didn’t want to. Recently, Pat bought himself a new iPad. As a man who still had a flip phone, it shocked the entire family. It didn’t take long before he discovered a tractor show on YouTube with a hay farmer who was just lucky enough to find himself a wife who enjoyed the heavy equipment that goes along with haying as much as he did. Go that guy! “Hey Lori!” Pat called from his recliner the other night. “You need to come and watch this! This guy has a wife who loves driving the tractors, swathing and even enjoys the process of loading it all up!” “It isn’t going to happen Pat,” I lazily replied from my comfy spot on the couch. “But look at her! She climbed into the combine and said that she’s never been so happy!” Pat replied. I haven’t helped the poor man and his machine-laden duties for several years. But you have to admire his diligence in attempting to get me involved. I pictured him ahead of me on his tractor as I swathed behind him with my floral blouse and cute, new purse tucked beside my tractor seat and said without further delay, “No, Pat.” “But look at how much fun she is having,” Pat pleaded. “Ask her if she has ever trembled in her diamond-studded flip flops while she had her back box filled to the brim by a massive loader and get back to me,” I said. 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?”

Four Tips for Becoming a Star Employee Being a first-class employee earns you praise, promotions and raises. Here are four things you can do to stand out at work. 1. Take I nitiative. W hen you t a ke steps to contribute to the success of your company, you set yourself apa r t from your peers. Put forward ideas and seek out challenges. Bring solutions, instead of problems, to your boss and see if you can take work off his or her plate. 2. Keep Learning. Take a keen interest in your professional development and look for oppor tunities to acquire new knowledge and skills. This could be through classes, training courses, workshops or conferences. Also, be eager to learn from your co-workers, especially those with more experience than you.

3. Seek Feedback. Take criticism about your work gracefully and proactively seek out feedback on your performance. Constructive criticism can enhance your performance by showing you where you have room to improve. 4. Build Relationships. Having good r el a t ion sh ip s w it h yo u r c o -wo r ke r s facilitates collaboration, creates networking opportunities and helps you feel more happy and secure in your job. Remember that professionalism is important too. Treat all your co-workers with courtesy, respect and kindness. Finally, always make sure to do your best work. By adding value to the company, you’ll make yourself invaluable.

BUILDING (Continued from Page 1)

and through reporting by this newspaper, is expected to consist of a “great, new space” that allows for “quiet studying, along with work group and work activities.” As se en i n floor pla ns release d on Medford Township’s website and discussed by Ga r r ison on Aug. 7, the first floor will include a 2,379-square-foot “Main Library,” a 1,385-square-foot “Children’s Library,” a 514-square-foot technology center, a 136-square-foot “Friends Room,” a 136-square-foot study, a 222-square-foot “Teen Room,” a 192-square-foot book holding area, a 574-square-foot library staff suite, a 221-square-foot breakroom and a 623-squarefoot lobby and café. The proposed children’s library, according to the plans, will include a reading area and theater, along with serpentine furniture. This part of the proposed building has been situated, according to Garrison, “in the back” so that it would be difficult for children to go unsupervised or wander away from adults. The plan also calls for the proposed children’s library to be “in the back” to reduce the potential for loud noise in the proposed building as youth can tend to sometimes get loud at times during library activities. The engineer added that proposed circled light fixtures, dimmable LED light fixtures, accent colors, and effects to lower the ceiling; combined with the serpentine furniture; are expected to bring some “some fun and charm” to the proposed children’s library. Also proposed for the downstairs part of the future combination building is a 735-squarefoot multipurpose room, which can seat 102 people. The second floor of the proposed building, accessible by an elevator and staircases, will consist of the township’s governmental offices, except for a few public safety entities that

WWW.PINEBARRENSTRIBUNE.COM will apparently remain in the buildings they currently occupy. The upstairs of the planned building, according to the architect, will also include a 490 -squa re-foot conference room, a 232-square-foot copy room, a 508-square-foot high-density storage space and 1,209 squarefeet of “unused, undesignated” space. The building layout has been designed, with security in mind, according to Garrison, calling for a limited number of doorways. As far as the public’s ability to access township officials, Garrison noted that the public, after taking the proposed elevator or main stairs, would come to a proposed “lockable card access door during normal hours.” He said each office space, behind the door, would be accessible to the public “via a window in the center aisle.” He added that the public would have “access into the space as necessary.” A side staircase in the building is for an employee-only entrance, he contended. Burger, in a May 2018 interview with this newspaper, said that the township earlier that year purchased the two-plus acre property that the combination building is to be built on for $605,000 (including settlement fees). T he prop er t y i ncludes t he h istor ic Tomlinson House or Jonathan Haines House, built in 1760, the first home in what is now called Medford Village. During a May 8, 2018 council meeting, when a resident raised concern that the historic house’s fate could be jeopardized by construction of a new town hall, Mayor Charles “Chuck” Watson replied that the house will not be torn down. In response to another resident from Union Street who was concerned about the planned building being constructed in a residential neighborhood, then-councilman Chris Buoni promised to put in an asset that will not be disruptive to the neighborhood and adopt its style. “We want it to look like another residence,” he said.

In apparently keeping with that prom ise, Garrison, on Aug. 7, said that his firm “used the vernacular aesthetic of the existing Haines House” for the proposed building and that the exterior will have a “dual chimney” to indicate the main entrance and front door of town hall. “ It is a n i m p or t a nt architectural feature,” he said. “We thought that it would be appropriate right in the dead-center. Of course, the main entrance Photo By Garrison Architects is covered with a large An artistic rendering of the future Medford Township combination portico porch.

The difference is due to a required 5 percent down any balance for the project that is remaining.

(Continued from Page 1) for renovations and grant funding. The governing body, at the time, concluded Bunning Baseball Field was of upmost priority and authorized submission of a grant application to the Burlington County Mu n icipa l Pa rk D evelopment G r a nt program in effort to secure $250,000 for the project. At the time, council said the total cost of the project, including all matching funds, was estimated to be about $275,000. “It is really sad to see Bunning Field falling apart because it is such a historic part of our town,” said Watson at the time. “That is kind of my preference of all these (potential projects), quite frankly, because of the historic value it has in our town.” In October 2017, council announced that Medford had been awarded a $200,000 grant from the Burlington County Municipal Park Development Grant program for the project. In that announcement, council said Medford-Vincentown Rotar y was com m itted to helping seek additional funding and sponsorships should the cost of the improvements exceed the county grant funds. “Bunning Baseball Field has a long and storied history in Medford, beginning with its construction by residents (along with Medford Park) in the early 1900s,” said Watson at the time. “It is reported that baseball players such as Cy Young (an American Major League Baseball [MLB] pitcher considered one of baseba l l’s greatest players) played there back in the 1930s and 40s on semipro adult baseball tea ms. More recently, M LB A ll-Sta r Mike Trout played there as a teen, with a South Jersey stars travel team, in the early 2000s.” At the time of council’s announcement, the project was anticipated to commence in the spring of 2018. Council accepted the county grant funding in December 2017. However, the project was delayed due to the game schedules of the groups who utilize the fields, according to Medford Open Space Coordinator Beth Portocalis. “We wanted to schedule the work as to not displace those teams/leagues,” she said to this newspaper Tuesday. Portocalis said the improvement project is now scheduled to commence Oct. 21. T h e p r oje c t , a s awa r d e d t o T ho r Construction two weeks ago, includes minor

The county grant will also allow for the installation of a new wooden fence in the outfield to replicate an original fence installed at the field in the early 1900s, and a new batting cage The project also calls for the restoration of a faded Bunning Baseball Field sign (currently with a temporary vinyl banner over it) and new signs for Medford Park. Given the anticipated increased usage of Bunning Field, township officials said the project also calls for the adjoining Medford Park parking lot areas to be re-constructed to maxim ize pa rk ing, along with the refurbishment of an existing pavilion and comfort station in Medford Park.

With only $200,000 of the $294,230 awarded contract to Thor Construction covered by the county grant, Portocalis sa id that the rest of the cost will be included in the township’s capital budget. Bunning Field’s original grandstands, estimated to have been built early in the 1900s, were torn down in 2017 due to deterioration of the wood. Councilman Bradley Denn has contended that they will be rebuilt to maintain their 1900s architectural and historical style, but will be constructed in accordance with
