CUTTING TIES Citing Evidence of Defection Attempt, County GOP Pulls Support for Howarth

8th Legislative District Assemblyman Joseph Howarth

By Douglas D. Melegari Staff Writer

MEDFOR D —The Bu rlington Count y Republican Committee officially disowned 8th Legislative District Assemblyman Joseph Howarth on Feb. 8, claiming that the elected official cut off all contact with GOP leaders and attempted to join the Democratic party for a period of two days following 8th District Senator Dawn Marie Addiego’s Jan. 28 defection to the Democrats. The statement, written by Committee Chairman Sean Earlen, came hours after Howarth vehemently denied attempting to join the Democratic party to the Pine Barrens Tribune when asked about the claim to that effect first made to this newspaper by a highlevel Republican source. Howarth, hours before Earlen’s statement, had also denied to this newspaper that his silence in the wake of Addiego’s defection was a sign that he, too, was leaving the GOP. He claimed that he was just too emotional to speak out on the

subject because of the longtime friendship he had enjoyed with the senator. “Following Senator Dawn Marie Addiego’s an nou ncement last week that she was abandoning her principles to become a Democrat, Assemblyman Joe Howarth cut off all contact with me and other Republican leaders in an apparent attempt to join Senator Addiego in defecting,” wrote Earlen on behalf of the Burlington County Republican Committee. “After finally speaking with Joe, and weighing his words and his actions against contrary evidence, I consulted with other party leaders and arrived at the indisputable fact that Joe Howarth no longer deserves party support.” Earlen added that he had informed Howarth that the Burlington County Republican Committee “cannot in good conscience” support the assemblyman’s bid for re-election. “While it is up to Joe to decide if he will continue to serve out the remainder of his term, his time as a candidate supported by our organization is over,” Earlen said. Howarth, when reached Feb. 9 for comment

on Earlen’s remarks, vowed that he still intends to seek the GOP line on the ballot ahead of this year’s November election, in which the district’s two assembly seats are up for grabs—which means a GOP June primary fight is now a distinct possibility. “They asked me last week to resign and I told them last week I wasn’t going to,” he said. “Listen, they have been planning this for a long time. They formed a narrative. They said I was involved with Dawn switching, which is totally false. I guess we will have to take it right to the county committee floor. We will have the first county committee primary vote, for the first time in Burlington County history—at least that I know of.” The assemblyman added that he was still optimistic that the county committee could reverse Earlen’s decision through a formal vote when it soon meets to pick candidates for the official GOP ticket, preventing a contested primary. He thought Earlen was not speaking for the entire membership of the committee. “I actually hope the people of Burlington

County, and the people who are on the county committee, and the people who supported me in the past, will continue to support me and actually give me the line on the ballot,” Howarth said. “I am hopeful I can still convince county committee members to pick me. I have had an awful lot of people calling me up. It comes down to a vote, that is all.” New Jersey’s 8th District includes Atlantic, Burlington and Camden County municipalities. Richard Ambrosino, chair man of the Camden County Republican Committee, told this newspaper on Feb. 12 that since there are only three municipalities in Camden County that are part of the 8th District, the organization will defer to the Burlington County Republican Committee. “I have spoken to Sean Earlen, and we will likely support who he supports,” Ambrosino said. Howarth told this newspaper that he believed he had his strongest backing in Hammonton because of his support of the farming community. See CUTTING/ Page 18

Medford Councilman Buoni Resigns, Saying He’s Leaving State—for Now

P.O. Box 2402 Vincentown, New Jersey 08088 Phone: 609-801-2392 Fax: 609-801-2395

By Bill Bonvie Staff Writer

MEDFORD—Longtime Medford Township Councilman Chris Buoni publicly turned in his resignation at Medford Township Council’s Feb. 5 meeting, announcing to his fellow council members that he is not only leaving his post on the local governing body, but “getting the hell out of New Jersey,” which he believes is on “a pathway to ruin.” In a subsequent phone interview Wednesday evening, Buoni told the Pine Barrens Tribune that he has already moved to Pennsylvania, where he anticipates being able to save tens of thousands of dollars in taxes over the next few years. However, the outspoken Republican, who was presented with a plaque commemorating his more than seven years on council, including one-year terms as mayor and deputy mayor, predicted during his impromptu farewell speech that he would probably be moving back to the Garden State at some point in the future. “It’s a lot like the mob; once you come in, you don’t get out,” he quipped, before adding that he hoped to move back to Medford Township “someday.” The departing councilman called his decision “kind of bittersweet.” “I love doing this,” Buoni said. “People like doing this for many reasons, but what I’ve loved is that we have done things. We have served with passion. We got reforms put in place that actually created all of these checks and balances. These are things people don’t necessarily know about us. When I compare that to some of the stuff I see, it kind of makes me sad.” One accomplishment he was proud of was the way council members had pulled themselves out of the pension system by agreeing to reduce their pay scale. “We were in an awful place, and all our professionals, like the engineers who work for us, can attest that we acted with integrity,” Buoni contended. “It’s not that hard—in fact it is a lot easier to do things that way. I’m really proud of that—proud of what we did here—it was meaningful. I am grateful for everyone.” During his talk with this newspaper, he expanded his criticism of the way the state is being run, blaming its politicians for catering to unions and only looking out for their own interests instead of serving those of the people, and raising taxes on residents instead of making

As a result of such fiscal irresponsibility, he claimed, “people who have common sense are fleeing New Jersey.” Buoni also cited 8th District Assemblyman Ryan Peters as a politician whose integrity he particularly admires. Peters has been critical of both President Donald Trump for the divisive and mocking tone he sets and of his 8th District colleague, Sen. Dawn Marie Adiego, for recently switching parties, saying he would never do that. As for Addiego, he added, she should “give back every dime” she took from Republican contributors to get re-elected. He also accused Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy of planning to use proceeds from the anticipated legalization of marijuana to make up for shortfalls in the budget, and predicted he’ll soon become “the largest drug dealer on the East Coast.” But Buoni was equally critical of voters for failing to adequately inform themselves about the candidates they vote for and “turning a blind eye” to the peccadillos of politicians. “We have exactly the government we deserve.” He said. Correcting that, he maintained, will require constructive solutions from both major political parties and input from both conservatives and liberals, rather than “people wanting to create a divide and organizing with mobs.” Living in America, he added, should be a cause for gratitude,

but “instead we wake up and hate our neighbors.” As for Medford, Buoni said he’s confident it will “be in good hands as long as it elects people who share the same values” as its residents. See MEDFORD/ Page 11

First Hurdle Passed for Legislation That Would Override Court Order for Closure of Teddy Bear Academy By Bill Bonvie Staff Writer

EVESHAM—Despite a major fracture in the political solidarity of New Jersey’s 8th Legislative District delegation, its members still seem to be in agreement on one objective—bringing about a change in New Jersey law that would allow the Teddy Bear Academy (TBA), a popular preschool and day-care facility run by the Evesham Township School District, to continue functioning once the current school year ends. A new bill to that effect, sponsored by the district’s three-member delegation and now beginning to work its way through the Legislature, continues to have the enthusiastic backing of the district’s two Republican Assemblymen, Ryan Peters and Joseph Howarth, whose previously close political relationship seems to have become unraveled since their Senate colleague, Dawn Marie Addiego, defected to the Democrats last month. Addiego, from all indications, remains a strong supporter of the effort as well, even while keeping a low profile since switching parties and making herself unavailable to the media. The TBA has been operating under the threat of imminent closure ever since October, when State Education Commissioner Lamont O. Repollet concurred with Administrative Law Judge Solomon Meztger’s ruling that the facility had no legal standing to operate under state law, although Repollet gave it a grace period to remain open until June. The judge’s edict was the result of a lawsuit filed against the district by a competitive, privately run preschool facility in Evesham, Under the Sun

Learning Center. The proposed change in the current law, which would “permit use of public schools and school district property for certain child care services for children younger than school age,” has already advanced past its first hurdle in the Senate: being unanimously approved on second reading, complete with amendments, by all 12 members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee in a bipartisan vote taken on Feb. 7. Assent for the measure, listed as Senate Bill 3330, was registered by nine Democrats on that committee (to which it was transferred by the Senate Education Committee), including the party’s newest member, Addiego. She sponsored it along with 7th District Sen. Troy Singleton, also a Democrat. The Assembly version, listed as Bill 4864, has so far been referred to that chamber’s Women and Children Committee. A statement accompanying the proposed legislation notes that “current law ... authorizes the use of public school buildings and school district property for certain other purposes when not in use for school purposes,” and that such uses include child-care services before or after regular school hours for school-aged children who attend school within the district. “This bill would amend current law to also authorize the use of public school buildings and school district property for child care services for children younger than school age,” the statement explains.” The child-care services would operate for less than 24 hours a day, need not be limited to children who reside within the school district, and may be provided by the board of education, See OVERRIDE/ Page 11

Suspect Nabbed in Percocet Heists at RiteAid Store in Browns Mills

By Bill Bonvie Staff Writer

PE M BE RT ON —A Lu mb e r t o n m a n suspected of being the armed robber who made off with several bottles of a narcotic painkiller from a RiteAid Pharmacy in the Browns Mills section of Pemberton Township was taken into custody Feb. 5 after what was described as a brief foot pursuit by Pemberton Township Police officers. The suspect, identified as Andrew Dixon III, 37, is alleged to have entered the pharmacy

at 37 Juliustown Rd., brandished a knife and demanded to be given “all the Percocet” in the store. Following his apprehension, police also determined that Dixon was the perpetrator of a similar robbery on Jan. 7 at the same store. Percocet contains the opioid drug oxycodone. Dixon was charged with robbery, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes and possession of prescription legend drugs in both incidents. He remained lodged in Burlington County Jail this past week pending a detention hearing.

Controlled Burn Slated Next Month for Evesham’s Black Run Preserve

Black Run Preserve in Evesham Township.

By Mark Hatoff

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

EVESHAM—It has been over 20 years since a significant wildfire last occurred in Evesham Township, and both the New Jersey Forest Fighter Service (NJFFS) and the Evesham Fire-Rescue want to keep it that way. That is the reason that the two entities will be conducting a prescribed burn in the township’s Black Run Preserve (BRP) in early March. Fire Chief Carl Bittenbender, during a Feb. 5 Evesham Council Meeting, explained that the reason the burn is planned is that the forested lands in the BRP, a nature preserve located off Kettle Run Road, have become thick and unmanaged, which could lead to rapid fire growth under the right conditions. The BRP land is owned by the township and managed by the Friends of the Black Run Preserve, a nonprofit organization. “Since we haven’t done a controlled burn in Evesham Township for many years, it may raise some concerns that we want to allay,” he said. “Before the burn happens, we will share a lot of information on the town’s social media page and police social media page so that everyone knows when it is happening.” Bittenbender said that prescribed burns reduce accumulated fuels, which lessens the risk of an intense fire, helps to control encroaching vegetation, thins the forest by making it healthier and more easily accessible for animals, and increases sunlight to allow for more regeneration of pines and plants used as food by wildlife. He added that very low humidity, and very high winds at times in the spring and fall, “are perfect conditions for a wildfire.” The controlled burn will be conducted at the old Municipal Utility Authority (MUA) basins east of Kettle Run Road. It will also be conducted at a 200-acre parcel that runs from east of Kettle

Run and Bortons Road, to the side of Little Mill Country Club. A privately owned 200-acre parcel west of Kettle Run Road, and an 86-acre parcel to the east and southeast of the Sanctuary development, also privately owned, will be included in the controlled burn as well. Bittenbender said conditions need to be dry to accommodate the planned burn, which is scheduled to take place for five to seven days at the beginning of March. He assured the public that it would only be conducted when winds, temperature, humidity and moisture levels were within a designated range. The existing trail system and roadways in the preserve will be used as naturally occurring firebreaks, dividing the undertaking into manageable sections, he said. “These burns are very slow moving and produce flames only a few feet high,” Bittenbender explained. “These fires are designed to burn off the undergrowth and curb the growth of shrubbery without killing the canopy trees. By contrast, a wildfire is unplanned, uncontrolled and usually intense. The NJFFS is always monitoring conditions to make sure the timing is right.” The NJFSS and Evesham Fire District do not anticipate the burn will cause any safety hazard, other than possibly posing a slight risk to those people who are asthmatic in areas where there is heavy smoke. Visitation to the BRP during the days of the burn may be limited, however, due to the presence of smoke. Since portions of the burn are expected to smolder for days until a soaking rain comes, the fire chief said it will be watched carefully, and fire breaks will be used to ensure flames do not spread. The fire chief also warned residents who live in forested areas, such as Kings Grant and Marlton Lakes, to use a concept known as “defensible See PRESERVE/ Page 22

Max Huffnagle whose life and death from a drug overdose are chronicled in a documentary.

By Mark Hatoff

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

MARLTON—The news that 11 graduates of Cherokee High, one of the four high schools in the Lenape Regional High School District (LRHSD), had been lost to the opioid crisis in just a single year—2017—may have come as a shocking statistic to the school’s current crop of seniors. But it is still just a statistic, whereas the personal story of one such victim, a 2010 graduate who should have enjoyed a bright future, is perhaps more of an object lesson. That is why the life, and untimely death, of Max Huffnagle was made the subject of a documentary produced by Lenape District Television (LDTV). It was unveiled for the community in a parentoriented program presented by the LRSHD, Cherokee officials and the Evesham Township Police Department on Jan. 23 at Cherokee High. “Not Even Once—The Max Huffnagle Story” is also the focal point of a four-day pilot program, Not Even Once, presented by the district to all Cherokee seniors as part of its health curriculum this school year. This program, as presented by school resource officers Jamie Clements and Bob Hansbury, emphasizes drug awareness with a focus on the personal stories of both Cherokee graduates who are recovering heroin addicts and some, like Max Huffnagle, who weren’t so lucky. As shown in the film, Max Huffnagle started out as a normal, happy kid with loving parents and a great relationship with his younger brother Aaron. He also had earned his junior black belt in karate when he was nine years old, was an accomplished ice hockey and lacrosse player, and was a good student who got along well with all of his teachers. Max Huffnagle was also someone who was kind and “treated everyone the same,” according to his mother, Debbie, who described how her son was part of a “great family dynamic” and could be “really happy about anything.” Max Huffnagle’s father, Steve, characterized his son in the film as a young man who could develop friendships very easily because he was easy to get along with and “very conscious of other people’s feelings.” But things started to change for Max Huffnagle,

according to the video, when he began smoking marijuana just before starting high school. He eventually got hooked on painkillers. That set him on a path that ended when he was found dead from a heroin overdose in 2015 at age 23. “This is not just a Marlton crisis,” said LRHSD Superintendent Dr. Carol Birnbohm. “The National Safety Council just completed its analysis of preventable injury and fatality statistics and found that for the first time on record, the odds of accidentally dying from an opioid overdose in the U.S. are now greater than those of dying in an automobile accident. We are losing alumni to something that can be prevented.” Although the “Max Huffnagle Story” only recently became available, the Not Even Once program was first piloted last year at the district’s Shawnee High School, with the help of the Medford Township Police Department. The curriculum was created for 11th and 12th grade students by the Manchester Township Police Department in 2016 to make students aware of the dangers of opioids before going to college. “Bet ween 2017-2018, ou r depar t ment investigated 14 fatal overdoses, and one of them involved a 15-year-old girl, who passed away from opioids very close to Christmas,” said Evesham Police Chief Christopher Chew to attendees. “This created a conversation that we needed to have with our local officials, school officials, parents, community, department and the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office. We needed to come together to create a program where we would have the opportunity to talk to our youth and let them know the consequences of taking that first drug.” Chew noted that he was extremely proud of officers Clements and Hansbury. “We heard nothing but good results about this program in Manchester,” he said. “We tasked them to go to their training and bring back information about instituting this program here. We got immediate buy-in from the school, and I thank all of our officers, and the Huffnagle family, for opening up their hearts and sharing this important message.” Clements, a 1994 Cherokee graduate who has See CHEROKEE/ Page 22

Two Evesham Developments Targeted by Car Burglary Ring By Mark Hatoff

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

EVESHAM—An apparent car burglary r i ng t a rgeted t wo Evesham Tow nsh ip residential developments, Ravenscliff and Woodstream, in the early morning hours of Feb. 3, prompting Police Chief Christopher Chew to warn residents to lock their vehicles at a Feb. 5 Evesham Township Council meeting. Chew reported that an officer on patrol in Ravenscliff observed an individual trying to break into a house using a key that he found in the homeowner’s unlocked car. Upon being spotted, the suspect, later identified as 21-year-old Tyree Taylor of Camden from an investigation involving federal, Burlington and Camden County law enforcement agencies, fled the scene in a stolen car. Other arriving officers pursued Taylor in their vehicles until he crashed the car and managed to escape on foot into the woods. “We later found out that he was one of four individuals who were involved in a series of crimes in the area between midnight and 3 a.m.,” Chew said. “There were 27 motorvehicle burglaries— 19 in Ravenscliff and eight in the Woodstream development. All of these cars were unlocked. We ask for everyone to please lock your cars and to register any surveillance cameras you have with our police department so that we can keep a database for incidents like these.” Chew said that the crashed car was one of two vehicles that were stolen in the vicinity within a 20-minute time frame, and that the perpetrators also took anything they

could find from other vehicles. Items taken included loose change and phone chargers “that they could fit in the backpacks they wore.” Taylor and his three accomplices were reported to be still at large by press time. “We’re working on some good evidence and hope to apprehend these individuals soon,” said Chew, noting that his department is increasing its surveillance in residential neighborhoods. “We feel pret t y con fident that these individuals are not from our area because the vehicle involved in our pursuit was stolen from Gloucester City, where they also had the same kind of events occur,” he said, adding that this group “has hit all over South Jersey.” Later in the meeting, Evesham Mayor Ja cly n Ve a s y t h a n ke d C hew for h i s department’s efforts. “I highly encourage everyone to lock and don’t keep valuables in your cars,” she said. “I know we feel very safe in our area and have a great police department, but we can’t take these things for granted. Be safe, be mindful and spread the word to your friends and neighbors.” C hew, a long w it h me mb e r s of t he Evesham Police Department’s command staff and Community Policing Unit, held a community policing event in the Ravenscliff development this past weekend to conduct an information-sharing session in response to the recent criminal activity. Veasy and Cooper were also in attendance, answering questions from residents.

Confessing Our Sins

97 Main St., Vincentown, N.J. 08088

“If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” —John 20:23 NIV

e live in paradoxical times. While many share the most intimate details of their life on social media for all the world to see, the practice of confession as a spiritual discipline has fallen by the wayside. In surveys of practicing Catholics, three-quarters of them “report that they never participate in the sacrament of Reconciliation or that they do so less than once a year.” (Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate) Among mainstream Protestant denominations, confession as a ritual is practiced only in the Lutheran church, and one wonders how often Christians of any sect adhere to the Biblical injunction to “confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.” (James 5:16 NIV) Whether

as a society we are more or less confessional than in times past is certainly debatable. Reconciliation tribunals, psychotherapy, and encounter groups are arguably all modern versions of confession. The flip side of confession is the Biblical injunction to tell others when they have sinned: “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you.” (Matthew 18:15 NIV) While it is easy to notice and point to the faults of others, we often chafe at the slightest perceived criticism, and instead of thanking the person for helping us to be a better person, we reject their critique. A periodic examination of one’s conscience and a willingness to confess one’s sins is healthy for the soul. Therefore, confess your sins and pray that you will be forgiven. – Christopher Simon

The Mouth:

Gateway to Your Health H.P.V. – A Cancer Causing Virus

Dr. Richard Weber

Saturday, February 16, 2019

WWW.PINEBARRENSTRIBUNE.COM

Can a virus cause cancer? Can it be transmitted sexually? Can it affect your mouth? Yes, yes and yes!

The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a virus which is estimated to affect 80 percent of the sexually active population. Oral HPV affects about 7 percent of the population. There are many strains of HPV, but HPV16 and HPV-18 are direct causes of head and neck cancer. 70 percent of oropharyngeal (back of the throat) cancers are caused by HPV, with over 18,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Men are four times more likely to get oropharyngeal cancer from HPV than women. Now that the statistics class is over, let’s talk in plain English. There are huge numbers of people who are getting (preventable) cancer from a disease they usually don’t even know they have. Most cancer-causing HPVs do not cause symptoms initially and they can lay dormant for weeks, months and even years! The cancers themselves can also be challenging to detect due to their location. When something is hard to detect, has high exposure to vast numbers of

the population and is surrounded by taboos and misinformation, it can sound like a losing battle. Fortunately, there are vaccines which effectively eliminate the chances of HPV causing cancer in the back of the throat, or anywhere else. But these vaccines are recommended to be given to both boys and girls by the age of 11-12. This can make the conversation difficult, and there has been controversy around the HPV vaccine for this reason. While abstinence is the most effective way to avoid contracting HPV, the statistics show that, in practice, it is not always the most reliable. As a health-care provider who has seen the devastation head and neck cancer can cause, I recommend that parents follow the Center for Disease Control, American Dental Association, American Cancer Society, and the medical community at large recommendations on the HPV vaccination.

PEMBERTON TWP. SENIOR CITIZEN COLUMN

Seniors Advised to Keep Current on Immunizations

By Ebba Liguori

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

PEMBERTON—The threat that pneumonia poses not only to seniors’ lives, but to the quality of life for those who recover from the ailment, was emphasized by Wellness Ambassador Jeff Cressman, of Wegmans Pharmacy, during a recent lecture and slide presentation at the Pemberton Township Senior Center. Cressman noted that the Centers for Disease Control recommends that adults over age 18 should be immunized with the Prevnar 13 vaccine, followed at least eight weeks later with the Pneumovax 23 vaccine. He recommended that the latter shot should be repeated in five years. Seniors past the age of 65, he advised, should restart this series of immunizations, also being careful to allow for the same spacing between the two, with five years again being the waiting period for a subsequent dose of Pneumovax 23. Cressman said that given time restrictions and other factors, it is best for each senior to consult with their personal physician or their trusted pharmacist. Ricky Parente, a Wegmans pharmacist, also shared many helpful tips for staying well during the winter season. Wegmans encourages seniors to visit its store in nearby Mount Laurel and consult with the pharmacist on an individual basis. As an incentive for seniors to stop in for a consultation, all new customers who chat with the pharmacist will receive a “free meal on us” Market Café Coupon valued at up to $8. The coupon can be used to select items from a hot-food bar in the store, which also has a second-floor dining area where recipients can leisurely enjoy their meal. In addition, Cressman and Parente brought a

generous supply of fresh bagels, and choices of cream cheese toppings, for seniors to enjoy during the presentation. You can contact Cressman at (856) 439-7349 and access his personal extension to discuss your health concerns and even make an appointment for a personal consultation. He can also assist with Medicare Part D choices. A few seats are still available an excursion on Feb. 26 highlighted by dinner at Careme’s Restaurant at the Culinary Arts College of Atlantic Cape Community College. It has been four years since local seniors traveled to this venue, and everyone has been asking for a repeat visit. The three-course meal will be prepared by the students under the supervision of their professors. Since the students will be graded on their performance, those taking part can expect attentive service. The ticket price of $55 apiece for township residents, and $60 each for out-of-town guests, also includes a trip to Resorts Casino in Atlantic City, where participants will receive a $25 slot voucher and have additional hours for shopping, walking on the boardwalk and perhaps even visiting other nearby casinos. A bus transporting participants will leave the Browns Mills Acme parking lot at 9:30 a.m. and depart Atlantic City for the college at 4 p.m. Tickets are also on sale for the St. Patrick’s Day party, sponsored by the Pemberton Township High School Interact Club. The event will be held on Feb. 19 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the senior center, on Brook Street. The club is planning a fun evening featuring games, music and a buffet dinner. All area seniors are eligible to attend for only $10 per person.

Photoshop Your Face with Collagen Protein

eople, especially women, have been trying to solve the problem for centuries of no longer looking youthful past middle age. It is very difficult to find a solution because after four or five decades, our face, skin, hair and nails really show the signs of aging. Our skin feels dry, hair gets finer or falls out and there is an obvious loss in firmness and elasticity of the skin. The laugh lines and crow’s feet get deeper and deeper. Even the fingernails become weaker and break. Of course, declining estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels cause the signs of aging to become more noticeable. However, hormones aren’t entirely the reason. The key to looking younger is having plump cells that retain moisture, while also keeping the matrix underneath our skin intact. You can do this if you have enough collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. Today my focus is collagen. You are born with an abundance of collagen. If you were to take off all your skin and weigh it, 80 percent of the weight would be collagen. That percentage declines by about two percent every year after 30 years of age. Collagen ‘photoshops’ you! That is why when you were younger, you had lovely firm skin, soft hair and strong nails. Your face looked plump and vibrant. The most dramatic reduction of collagen happens in the first five years after menopause, when women lose about 30 percent of their natural collagen stores. The decline continues over the years, although it is more gradual. One day you look in the mirror and you look older than you thought. Then, when you get of bed in the morning, you feel pain and stiffness in your joints. That is because collagen is in

your cartilage, and when it is depleted, you feel the pain. There are hundreds of supplements of collagen in today’s global market, but there are things you should know about first before trying it. You should be very cautious about the kind of collagen you buy because some aren’t the correct type. Collagen can be sourced from cows, pigs, birds, fish scales and more. Some brands don’t get absorbed through your intestinal lining, and others don’t have healthy ratios of the amino acids. Maybe they are low in hydroxyproline or they don’t have vitamin C to activate it. (To learn more, you can watch my video here: suzycohen.com/collagenvideo.) When restoring collagen, keep in mind you want tiny particles so the little peptides can get into your cells. The reason for this is so that you can produce the collagen intracellularly. Collagen is a big protein, like a long chain that consists of links. The links are amino acids. There are five different types of collagen, named Type I, II, III, IV and V. Type II is what supports joint and cartilage health, while Types I and III are beautifying for the hair, skin and nails. I have some videos about collagen, and how to choose the best kind for your needs. Nowadays, you can supplement with collagen shots, powders, drinks and facial serums. These products are available nationwide.

While praising council colleagues and joking about his relationships with them, he expressed particular gratitude to Township Manager Kathy Burger, calling her “awesome” and noting how she had assisted him in getting information he needed through Open Public Records Act (OPRA) requests. But as for his reason for leaving, Buoni said he had no doubt that the state “will go

a board-approved sponsor, or a (licensed) child care program.” Two amendments approved by the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee would also: • give preference to children who reside within the school district and to children of persons employed by the school district, whether the employee resides within or outside the school district, and make the service available as space permits to any other child living outside the district as space permits; • require that any child-care-service provided “meet the standards established in the Manual of Requirements for Child Care Centers,” and • require any excess revenue raised by such a service to be used by the board of education to support the general fund budget of the school district. The importance of that last provision was emphasized by Howarth in a phone interview with

bankrupt” because people don’t have the “moral courage to actually do what is right.” “It is sickening and sad,” he said. “I hope we wake up because if we don’t, it will drive the train right into the ditch. It is a shame because New Jersey is a great state.” Mayor Charles “Chuck” Watson thanked Buoni for his service to the community, noting that “fate brought us together,” and “as a group, we have done some pretty great things for Medford.” “More importantly, you and I have become good friends,” Watson said. Buoni responded that he hopes that Medford

will continue to find people of quality that make great decisions. “I know you guys will keep your hand on the plow and do the right thing,” he said. “I hope that Medford continues to find people of quality who make great decisions.” A proclamation accompanying the plaque Buoni was presented with honored him for exhibiting an “extraordinary level of care and concern for residents and businesses in the community,” restoring fiscal responsibility to the township, judicious management of tax dollars, and for promoting open and participatory government, smart growth and

township planning. Buoni, described on his Linkedin page as a vice president for Perfect Communications in Moorestown, where he has worked for 25 years. As for replacing Buoni on the council, Burger said in a later interview that Medford Township Republicans have 15 days to submit three names to her for council’s consideration. Council then has 30 days to approve one of these individuals to fill the remainder of Buoni’s term, which runs through the end of the year. A new council member will be chosen by local voters in November.

the Pine Barrens Tribune. The assemblyman, an Evesham resident, pointed out that the community has been hit particularly hard by decreased funding for education, losing almost $9 million over the last seven years. “For them, it is about finding outside sources of income that they can put back toward the budget,” he said. In this regard, he claimed, the TBA “definitely pays for itself—and whatever money they have left over goes back into the general fund, however small an amount of money it is.” Howarth also noted that it was his responsibility to promote interest in the legislation among his colleagues in the Assembly, as well as to apprise his constituents about its progress. He said he had recently met with parents at Marlton Middle School to fill them in on the procedures that were involved in getting it passed. “I also told them that the next day we had scheduled a voting session, and I would be speaking with other legislators who had schools affected by the ruling in their legislative districts to get them to sign onto the bill,” he said. Howarth expressed optimism about the bill’s chances of success, maintaining that it appeared to be “gaining momentum.” He said he was encouraged by the interest shown in it

by fellow lawmakers to whom he had sent out letters soliciting their support. But he cautioned against assuming its success was guaranteed. “It is never a sure thing, even when it appears to be sure thing,” he said. “You’ve always got to wait until it’s done.” Even if the bill passes the Legislature, he pointed out, it would still need the signature of Gov. Phil Murphy. “All we can do is advocate for it and hopefully, he’ll sign it,” Howarth said. As for Peters, Howarth indicated that the two are no longer working in tandem. “All I can tell you is what I’m doing and I guess he is doing what he wants to do,” Howarth said. An attempt to elicit a comment from Peters was referred to his legislative aide, Brian Woods (formerly the aide to the entire 8th District delegation). “Our stance is we just want this to get done for the families and faculty of TBA,” Woods said. “This is their bill. They came in full force contacting our office, and were extremely passionate. We’re not making this political. However this gets passed is good. Assemblyman Peters doesn’t care who takes the credit. As long as the TBA stays open, he’ll be happy. He will actively campaign for this, as he knows how big

an issue this is for the people in Evesham. He will continue to push for it.” When asked about whether the bill could be passed before the facility’s court-ordered closure date, Woods said it appeared to be “moving pretty fast,” and that “the number-one goal is to get this completed before the summer.” Addiego couldn’t be reached for comment, and did not return a call from this newspaper. But both Howarth and Woods acknowledged that she remains the prime mover of this particular bill in the Senate. “Absolutely it’s her bill,” was how Howarth put it. The effort to change the law on which Metzger’s shutdown order was based isn’t the only attempt being made to save the Teddy Bear Academy, which was the subject of an impassioned rally by Evesham parents last summer following the news of the judge’s ruling. On Nov. 30, William S. Donio, the attorney for the Evesham Board of Education, told this newspaper that he had filed a notice of appeal with the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court. An inquiry with Donio about the current status of that appeal had gone unanswered by deadline time.

EDITORIAL

Addiego Should Do the Right Thing and Return Campaign Contributions Senator Dawn Marie Addiego’s decision to defect from the Republican Party, after she promoted herself to voters as a member of the GOP who had a track record of aligning herself with the party’s principles, raises very serious ethical questions. Eighth District voters re-elected Addiego in 2017 because of what she claimed to stand for at the time. They made their will known, to have a Republican represent them in the state Senate, until 2021. Now their voice has been taken away by Addiego becoming a member of the Democratic Party. The senator, in 2012, opposed a large increase in the minimum wage. She, and those who helped get her elected, would go on to champion this vote in 2017. “It is clear that the large minimum wage increase that Democrats are pushing will make it harder for out-of-work New Jerseyans to find jobs, and more difficult for struggling small businesses to maintain the employees they already have,” said Addiego in a statement issued on Nov. 29, 2012. “Furthermore, enacting automatic annual wage increases will add an ever-increasing burden on employers.” Now, a little over a year since being reelected, she voted for the single-largest minimum wage increase in the state’s history, from $8.85 to $15 an hour, over five years. “I support this $15 minimum-wage legislation because it represents a responsible, balanced compromise that will enable employees to support their families while providing a five-year phase-in that gives businesses time to adjust,” said Addiego in a statement after her Jan. 31 vote. Whether Addiego has truly had a change of heart and is sincere when she says that now, or is merely attempting to fit in with the ideology of her newly adopted party, is something voters of the district will ultimately have to decide should she run for re-election again (if they don’t decide sooner by virtue of a recall).

But it is also largely beside the point, which is that by changing affiliations in midstream, she has not only deprived her voters of the right to choose someone representing the political party of their choice, but has literally cheated those people who contributed to her campaign based on her having represented herself as a Republican. It might even be compared to consumers buying a product and then finding it to be something completely different than advertised—in which case, they would certainly be entitled to a full refund. Now it may be true, of course, that there is no requirement in New Jersey that campaign contributions be returned in such a situation. But just because something doesn’t violate a law doesn’t mean it is not a violation of ethical principles. Ad d iego c e r t a i n ly mu st r e a l i z e this, having been one of the first two lawmakers in the state’s history to take a voluntary cut in salary while serving as an assemblywoman back in 2009. She did this in response to the financial crisis that had occurred the previous year. Perhaps she herself is wrestling with the question of whether to do the right thing now and see to it that those loyal Republicans who ended up helping finance her campaign, under what turned out to be a duplicitous label, deserve to be reimbursed. Maybe that is one of the reasons she has been keeping such a low profile these past couple of weeks. But if she doesn’t ultimately at least address that issue (never mind the matter of the GOP voters who feel they somehow ended up supporting the wrong party), whatever other seemingly principled statements she delivers will no doubt ring hollow—as well they should with both Republicans and Democrats. It is one thing not to have have violated any law by defecting. It’s quite another to have violated the trust of your loyal supporters by taking their money under false pretenses—and failing to give it back.

(Re: Howarth Breaks Silence as Addiego’s Defection Shakes Up 8th Legislative District Office) Addiego didn’t form any opinion, or position, on her own during her entire career. She was nothing but a puppet for Republicans In Name Only (RINO) party leaders. After RINO party leaders bankrupted the county and Burlington County College, they betrayed real Republicans and quit. Some allied with Democrats. Their interests aren’t in the public’s welfare or political beliefs, but instead making themselves (and their donors) rich. Once the cash stream in Burlington County went to the Democrats, so did they. Dawn is just the public puppet you see. Her remark that the Republican Party wasn’t the party of Reagan was partially true, but now that she and the carpetbaggers are out, the Republican County Committee could throw the remaining RINOS out and make it the party of Reagan and Trump, not the corrupt swamp.

(Re: Howarth Breaks Silence as Addiego’s Defection Shakes Up 8th Legislative District Office) What a slap in the face to all who voted for the Republican Addiego. Maybe she got offered a bonus— why else would you dupe the voters? ~Wayne Grey

(Re: Howarth Breaks Silence as Addiego’s Defection Shakes Up 8th Legislative District Office) There had to come a time when she met with her staff to tell them she was switching parties. Someone had to mention that she was going to tick off a majority of her constituents. I wonder what her response was to that statement? Was it “screw them,” “tough crap,” or “who cares?” I don’t want her representing me. ~Bob Fanucci

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Addiego and Kim Act with Impunity After Telling Outright Lies to Voters

Rosemary L’Erario’s letter to the editor (Proud of Representative Kim and His Vote for Speaker Pelosi, Pine Barrens Tribune: Feb. 2, 2017) expressed how proud she was of 3rd Congressional District Rep. Andy Kim’s vote to elect Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. No matter how beautiful the shade of lipstick, she is still putting lipstick on a pig, and it stinks too.

Kim lied. When Kim was running for office, he said we needed new leadership in Congress, and that he would not vote for Pelosi to become speaker. Yet, Kim, in his first official act in Congress, broke his pledge to voters and voted to elect Pelosi as speaker. Why do politicians think they can act with impunity and just outright lie to voters? Take 8th Legislative District Sen. Dawn

Marie Addeigo’s many lies to voters. Addeigo accepted the support of voters in several Republican primaries, and then stood for election as a Republican in several general elections. Now, after her last election, she says she no longer feels like a Republican. If Addeigo is an honorable person, and no longer feels comfortable as a Republican, then she should resign her office and stand for election as a Democrat. Let voters decide.

Isn’t that being simple and honest with voters? Don’t we deserve honesty? Instead, so far, Addeigo has chosen to act in a dishonorable way. How can voters trust what any dishonorable politician or their party says? How can you tell when they aren’t lying? Bruno DiStefano Medford Lakes, New Jersey

DUNKIN' (Continued from Page 5) other two Medford Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants are located at 178 Route 70 and at 430 Stokes Road.” Piter Amin Network is owned by Piyush Amin. Medford Township Deputy Mayor Frank Czekay was on hand for the grand opening festivities, which included the cutting of a ribbon and Dunkin’ Donuts celebratory cake. The festivities also included music by DJ Hass, of All-Star DJ’s based out of Egg Harbor Township. Also on hand, was Dunkin’s mascot “Cuppy” whose enthusiastic greeting helped put a smile on everyone’s face. Participants in the celebration were given an opportunity to sign-up for a raffle to win a flatscreen TV. Customers also had the opportunity to spin “the wheel of fortune” for a chance to win Dunkin’-brand prizes, such as hats, koozies, winter gloves and key chains. Dunkin’ Donuts, as part of the celebration, offered customers a 99 cents medium hot or iced coffee. Many customers attending the celebration agreed that the new restaurant was on their way to work and having the traffic light will make grabbing their coffee and breakfast snack a cinch. For added convenience, there is a drive-thru window for customers on-the-go at this Medford location, along with plenty of parking for those who prefer to come into the restaurant to get their favorite doughnuts.

So Much for a Bonding Experience

here is nothing like pages turning on the calendar to make a gal realize that February is upon us and March follows close by, and, folks, bikini season will be here soon. Not that I would even remotely consider wearing a bikini, mind you. But I might consider exposing an ankle now and then, and if the weather calls for it, perhaps a forearm. Back in the day, our sons were never thrilled when spring rolled around, as the singing birds were like an alarm sounding that had me running to the gym in a panic. The kids did not like being dragged to exercise classes, loathed me changing out their buttered popcorn for rice cakes and told me that it wasn’t fair that I served them a banana and called it dessert. But the tables have turned and nowadays my grown men are fitness gurus who have taken the lessons of staying in shape to heart. Vernon, our eldest and wise-cracking son, is the king of organic vegetables. He drinks that nasty looking stuff that resembles like kelp and looks at my bag of fat-free chips and proclaims, “If a caveman wouldn’t eat it, then neither should you.” To which I like to counter, “If you offered a fat-free chip to a caveman, I guaran-dang-tee ya he would partake.” Just sayin’. Huey is all about his vegetables and lean meats and Lawrence is the king of juicing. Our young Charlie? Well he looks like a poster boy for Muscle and Fitness magazine. Now, I like to work out as much as the next gal. In fact, I would put sit-ups right up there with a hangnail extraction, a complicated root canal and the final stages of labor. Although I may never adorn the cover of Muscle and Fitness magazine, I do exercise. With ankle weather just around the corner from the next arctic blast, I have really stepped it up a notch. Sometimes winter moves by like a slug in the mud, but we all know that it will be spring before we know it. Therefore, I took my oversized exercise ball out of the closet, have been throwing a few weights around and to really kick things into high gear, I have even mixed a little jogging into my daily walk. Go me! So, when my Lawrence came home for the weekend and asked if I would like to join him for a jog, I actually said “yes.” Doesn’t that just floor you? Scoff if you must,

Lori Clinch COLUMNIST

but I had visions of us moving along at a leisurely pace, visiting and laughing as we discussed the topics of the day and perhaps stopping to catch a little air now and then. I paid no mind to his surprised look when I agreed to go, or the way that his chin dropped to the floor. I just rose to the challenge and ran for my walking shoes. As he looked on, I then attempted to stretch to my toes and actually made it as far as my knees. I am not sure if it was my headband, or the fact that I was about to go for a run in my “mom jeans” that caused the furrowing of Lawrence’s brow. I suppose it could have been the way that I ran in place and shook out my limbs, but I was geared up to go, and out the door we went. How did it go, you might ask? Did we bond on our little run? Did he laugh at my jokes and pat me on the back? Perhaps he hummed the theme to “Rocky” as we went for the summit? Well, that is going to be a big, fat no. In fact, it became quite evident—very quickly in our little jaunt—that this was not going to be a bonding moment, as Lawrence shot out of the door like a race horse out of the gate and had a 50-yard lead on me before I had gone 10 paces. Not only could I not keep up, but I couldn’t move that fast if I had a knife- wielding villain hot on my trail and was running for my life. When he asked me again if I was up for a little jog, I turned him down flat. I can safely say that I will never run with one of my boys again. I crossed that one right off of my bucket list. In fact, I may apply Vernon’s theory to my exercise regimen and say, “If a caveman wouldn’t run like the wind for no apparent reason—then neither should I.” 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?”

CUTTING (Continued from Page 1) Neither Atlantic County Republican Committee Chairman Keith Davis, nor Atlantic County Freeholder Chairwoman Amy Gatto, had returned requests for comment on this story by press time. Howarth, when asked about whether there was “contrary evidence” that he tried to jump ship with Addiego, challenged Earlen to release it. “There is no evidence!” said Howarth to this reporter. “I told them to bring forth the evidence! You go find me somebody I sat down and worked with!” Earlen, when contacted about whether he planned to release the evidence, did not respond. Howarth blamed 8th District Assemblyman Ryan Peters for starting the “narrative” that he was working with Democrats and claimed that his fellow Republican has been trying to have someone “grab his seat” since last summer. “He has been going around to other municipal chairs since last summer trying to find someone to replace me,” said Howarth of Peters. “Ryan said our (joint legislative) office didn’t run like other assembly offices and that nobody in it really did anything right. I have no issue with the office. I didn’t find anything wrong with it.” Howarth also claimed that Peters had intended for months to fire numerous staffers in the joint legislative office, and replace them with younger people, and to “also run the campaign up at the county” at the same time. “He wanted to hire people from the (campaign of defeated ex-representative Tom) MacArthur who were in need of jobs,” Howarth said. “He wanted to hire assembly people who were not running again.” Howarth said those purported intentions, combined with Peters’ move to launch a website of his own and his release of a video calling out President Donald J. Trump, led to a Jan. 24 meeting. He added that the meeting, four days

before Addiego’s defection, was at his and the senator’s request. “We wanted to meet with Ryan to get him on the same page,” said Howarth, who claimed his colleague blindsided him and Addiego with the video about Trump. “Ryan formed his own website, he posted the anti-Trump speech, which I also got emails and calls about. He posted a few other things for which we normally get approval before posting. We just wanted to kind of clear things up and move forward.” Howarth indicated that the meeting did little to clear the air for him, though he noted that he couldn’t speak for the senator or say if it had any bearing on her decision to switch parties. “Ryan Peters wanted to fire everybody, and Sean Earlen said to Dawn and I, ‘Well just pick one person each that you want to keep,’” Howarth said. “I said, ‘I am not picking anybody. I am not going to fire people I have known for 15 years.’” It was these events, Howarth said, that also led him to not immediately call Peters following Addiego’s defection from the GOP. “Why should I call someone who is trying to replace me?” Howarth said. “Why should I reach out to someone on the night of Dawn’s switching parties, who says that regardless of whether she is a Republican or Democrat, I am at the ‘top of the ticket.’ He is not at the top of the ticket—I am—because I have been an assemblyman for a much longer time. Maybe that was just a slip (of the tongue).” Howarth, who also again claimed to this newspaper that Peters actually fired staffers after Addiego’s defection, said he has nothing to talk about or prove and called the back and forth over whether he knew about Addiego’s intentions “pretty ridiculous.” “Unfortunately, all of this drama has taken away from the Teddy Bear Academy bill, which I worked very hard on this week,” he said referring to legislation that would allow school districts, such as the Evesham Township School District, to operate a preschool and day-care facility (see separate story). “I am trying to get this, and

amendments to it, moved forward. Those are important for my constituents and the rest of the state. I am not going to let this get in the way of what I need to do.” However, Howarth, who claimed he was the “primary sponsor” of the Assembly version of the Teddy Bear Academy (TBA) bill, reproached Peters when asked by this newspaper how he intended to work with him. “Ryan hasn’t done a thing on this as far as I know,” he said. “I was in Trenton on Thursday when the bill was heard. Ryan was absent again. I met with the people from Evesham when the bill was sponsored. As far as I know, he hasn’t met with anyone. I don’t know what he has done. I am doing everything I can do as the prime sponsor.” Howarth appeared to be particularly annoyed with Peters for issuing a statement about the bill passing the Senate Budget Committee. “I added his name to the bill by the way,” Howarth said. “We felt it was important to add his name. So, I didn’t even know he had anything going on with it. “I don’t know what he was doing. He never called me. They—parents and administrators— called together a Jan. 30 meeting to get an idea on how the bill would be passed. I was invited to speak. This past Thursday, when the bill was heard in the afternoon in Senate Committee, I met with (Evesham resident) Rosemary Bernardi and (TBA Coordinator) Leah Perlmutter. I met with them downstairs in (the state capital) cafeteria. We discussed what was going to be going on from there. That is pretty much the way it is right now.” Howarth eventually said he didn’t care who took credit for the legislation “as long as it gets done.” Peters, when reached for comment on this story on Feb. 9, said that Howarth will continue making allegations and he doesn’t want to have rebut each one. “He just has nothing left other than to make up charges,” he said.

However, Brian Woods, who at one time was a legislative aide to the joint legislative office before it got split up and is now Peters’ chief of staff, told this newspaper on Feb. 13 that he was directed by Rick England, who was the chief of staff to the joint office and is now Addiego’s chief of staff, to not tell Peters about the Jan. 30 meeting. “I was told by Rick England to just tell Joe about the meeting when it was a joint legislative office,” Woods said. When the legislation was first introduced, it was in a press release as a joint effort of all three members of the 8th District delegation. Woods claimed that he wrote the release and that he was representing all three members of the delegation at the time. Peters noted in the Feb. 9 interview that he supports the decision of the “Burlington County Republican Committee and Earlen” to no longer support Howarth. “Burlington County has a long line of competent and strong chairpersons,” he said. “I think Sean Earlen and Linda Hughes are no exception in that. I have no interest in going titfor-tat with Joe Howarth in his comments.” Peters did, however, refute that he fired (or tried to fire) the legislative staffers of Addiego and Howarth. “I can only control my payroll,” he said. “I can’t dictate the payroll of Joe and Dawn. I can’t! I can’t! I can’t fire people who are on Howarth’s payroll! That is not my call. That is not anybody’s else’s call.” Woods added Wednesday that nobody who worked in the joint legislative office lost a job, and the “same people are there now” while Howarth and Peters seek out their own offices and complete a move. “I still say hi to every one of them every day,” Woods said. “There are things Joe is saying that are just factually incorrect. I am Ryan’s chief of staff, and I haven’t hired one person. I haven’t interviewed one person. Nobody lost a job.” Woods maintained Addiego’s defection was “just dropped on Ryan” on Jan. 28.

CHEROKEE (Continued from Page 5) spent 19 of her 20 years in law enforcement in Evesham, said that it was important for her and fellow officer Hansbury to focus on the local aspect of the opioid epidemic in their presentation of the school program. “We’re following up facts about drugs with what happens in Evesham Township, and the different calls that we go on,” said Clements, who is serving in her fourth year as a school resource officer at Cherokee. “Kids are shocked when we tell them that we lost 11 Cherokee graduates in 2017 (three from the class of 2013 and one from the class of 2014) to this epidemic.” She explained that the student program is taught to 22 senior classes during four class periods, over four days throughout the school year—a total of 88 class periods. “On day one, Officer Hansbury and I each talk about a friend whom we lost to heroin addiction,” she said. “(The students) appreciate that we are honest with them. We then close the first day with the Max Huffnagle documentary.” On the second day, the film is discussed, as well as other stories from the Huffnagles that were not in the video. “There are tears from some kids,” she said. “(Student Assistance Counselor) Kristen Caputo is in the room with us in case a student gets upset due to some experience in their lives and has to leave the room. “It’s important to note that kids will not see the video unless they are in the Not Even Once program. Parents won’t see it unless they come to a parent night like this one. When these kids come to the class, I don’t want to hear them say that they saw it already on their phone. The reason we’re doing parent night is so that when a senior comes home and talks about the program, you will know what it is about and you can interact with them.” After the parent-oriented program, Hansbury

explained how to identify forms of heroin and drug paraphernalia and went over some 2018 local statistics (821 non-fatal overdoses and 161 fatal overdoses in Burlington County; 579 drug-related arrests, 56 overdoses and five fatal overdoses in Evesham). He then introduced the documentary. In the video, Max Huffnagle’s father speculated that it was probably because of curiosity that his son began smoking weed. “We kept thinking, it’s a phase, we don’t want to overreact, we don’t want to have a big blowup about this,” he said. “But Max got into it so heavily. His circle of friends changed a little. He was just smoking constantly and trying to hide and deny it. His interests, friends and schoolwork changed.” Debbie Huffnagle said that it was obvious what Max Huffnagle was doing. “It was not something we condoned,” she said. “We knew something needed to change. We took away his license and phone and it didn’t matter. He would find a way. The level of commitment was the first clue on the disease of addiction. In his senior year, things were getting more out of hand. I don’t know honestly when Max started taking pills. But I know that his grades at the end of the year dropped. It was sad to watch.” Max Huffnagle completed a year at Burlington County College, then began a door-to-door sales job, where he performed so well that his sales team was asked to open an office in Chicago. “We helped him move because we thought it would be good for him to get out of this area,” Debbie Huffnagle said. “But that is not what happened.” The Huffnagles explained that although they saw flashes of the old Max Huffnagle, being far away from home led him to increasingly use painkillers. Then, when those got too expensive, he began substituting heroin. “That is when he called me and said, ‘Mom, I want to come home because I am not making good decisions,’” Debbie said. “He asked me to take him to a detox. I don’t think he realized how difficult detox would be, which is why many go

back to using drugs. We then had to convince him to go to rehab and tell him not to come home. We were not abandoning him, but we knew he had to get out of the state to a rehab in Florida.” For nearly a year, Max Huffnagle was clean as he went into a sober house and got a job as a sales rep selling trucks. “In that time in Florida, we thought he turned a corner,” Steve Huffnagle said. “We went to visit him. He had a tan, he was at the gym all the time and he looked very good. I don’t know if he thought of himself as a past addict and closed that chapter in his life, but you never do. Soon after that he relapsed. He lost his job by failing to show up, not putting in the work. He came home and started that cycle again of up and down.” After returning home, Max Huffnagle relapsed again and got arrested. His parents persuaded him, they said, to return to rehab, but he would continually sign himself out of programs, thinking he did not belong there. “It was scary,” said his brother Aaron Huffnagle, wondering how this could happen to someone coming from two of the most loving, supportive parents in the world. “It is like, how do you cure this? He hated that he got to that point.” Debbie Huffnagle said that Max Huffnagle was most upset that his relationship with Aaron Huffnagle had been affected. “Max wrote a letter to him and said that he never intended to put drugs before his family, but that is what happens,” she said. After Max Huffnagle returned home from Florida in 2015, his parents convinced him to go back into rehab, only this time in Bristol, Pa. But this effort also failed. He was still able to buy drugs and was kicked out of the Bristol sober house. “He wound up moving in with my sister and her husband in Northeast (Philadelphia), living on their couch,” Steve Huffnagle said. “He ran an errand for my brother-in-law, and the guy he ran the errand for gave him a $20 tip to buy lunch. Instead, he went into Camden to buy heroin and that is when he OD’d. We were told that there was a body that they recovered in a vehicle in Camden. Police pieced together that it was my son. He had overdosed in the vehicle.” The van Max Huffnagle was found in had caught fire, and his parents were not able to identify his body. Police lab testing confirmed the truth a few days later. The conclusion of the documentary was met with stunned silence from the audience. On the third day, in continuing to describe the Not Even Once student program, Hansbury, a 15year veteran of the Evesham Police Department, and Clements, shared stories of thefts from families, car burglaries and residential burglaries, along with shopliftings. “We talk about consequences of drug use — health effects, social life, work life (who is going to want to hire someone like that), the destroying of relationships with friends and families,” he said. Hansbury also speaks about the dangers of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid pain medication that is estimated to be 50-100 times more potent than heroin and is sometimes found in marijuana and cocaine. The fourth and final day of the student program is when a Cherokee graduate in recovery from heroin addiction comes in to speak.

Judging by testimonials shared by the officers, students who have completed the program were very affected by the subject matter. “I think the officers’ and speakers’ personal stories put into perspective how prevalent this issue is right now,” said one student, while another said, “Seeing a fellow Cherokee student fall down this path helps me better realize that this can affect anyone.” Chew expressed hope that Not Even Once could continue to expand to other areas. “From my understanding, the Lenape School District is going to start talking to the other schools, although other communities interested in conducting this program would have to create their own documentary specific to their own community,” he said. “That is the meat and potatoes of this program—that Max actually sat in the same seat that the kids are in.” While Chew described the program as still being in its infancy, with the Cherokee presentation being the initial rollout, he noted that the Evesham Township Police Department also has a comprehensive Law Enforcement Against Drugs (LEAD) program for fifth and seventh graders at the local school-district level. “So, we have the layers in place for education going forward,” he said. A brochure produced by the Evesham Township Police Department, and made available to program attendees, listed the signs of heroin use in teens, which can include:

a 3-2 vote that appointed Deputy Mayor Heather Cooper to a two-year term as council liaison to the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC). Wendy Gibson was also appointed to a two-year term as coordinator member for the group, which is made up of Evesham students from middle school through high school. Veasy, Cooper and Councilwoman Patricia Hansen voted for the resolution, while Councilmen Ken D’Andrea and Robert DiEnna opposed it. “In December, there was a lot of discussion to move the YAC from the township and put it under the nonprofit Evesham Celebrations Foundation (which works with the YAC),” said D’Andrea before the vote. “My recommendation would be to table this (in order) to have a deeper conversation as to how we are going to fit the YAC in the nonprofit world.”

It is one thing when a parent or a teacher tells a child (about the dangers of drugs), but it is more powerful when someone who lives it tells their story. I have a sixth grader at home and I think this would be powerful for him as well. I think every chair in this auditorium should be full.”
