JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST—U.S. Air Force Col. Neil R. Richardson has relinquished command of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL), and the 87th Air Base Wing, to Col. Bridget V. Gigliotti. The change in command came during a July 26 change of command ceremony held on JBMDL. “Thank you all for being here today to celebrate this very special day for Bridget and her family,” said the ceremony’s presiding officer, U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. John Gordy, also the U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center commander at the joint base. “Thank you to everyone for spending their valuable time here as we say goodbye to an incredible leader and welcome an equally incredible new one.” Gordy added that both the outgoing leader, and incoming leader, of the joint base have demonstrated an “exceptional ability to lead and inspire.” “Both have shown that they are committed to building an environment of trust and respect,” he said. “Both have also demonstrated they can be trusted with Air Force’s most important asset and weapon—our Airmen and their families.” Before Richardson relinquished command, he was awarded a Legion of Merit and rendered a final salute to the men and women of the joint base. “Today, marks the fifth change of command for the 87th Air Base Wing and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to command the wing and lead such a talented and hard-working group of military and civilian professionals,” Richardson said.

Operator Navigates World of Leadership Departing Commander Celebrated for Efforts to Have Joint Base Identify as One Entity, Not Three

JO I N T BA SE M C GU I R E - DI XLAKEHURST—Even the simplest of military flight operations requires professionally trained aircrew members to follow precise procedures. During training, aircrew members are given checklists to follow step-by-step, which contains information to conduct a successful and safe flight. For U.S. Air Force Col. Neil R. Richardson, who relinquished his responsibilities as commander of Joint Base McGuire-DixLakehurst (JBMDL) and the 87th Air Base Wing, this was his life. Richardson started his Air Force career in 1995 as a C-130 Hercules navigator. The job process was straight forward and clear, there was no gray-area in the process. As Richardson advanced in his career, he moved up the ladder of leadership roles throughout multiple Air Force entities— s q u a d r o n c o m m a n d e r, g r o u p d e p ut y commander, wing vice commander, etc., before fina lly la nding the insta llation commander position at JBMDL in 2017. “It was cer tainly going to be a new challenge,” Richa rdson said. “I wasn’t really sure what to think of the joint base commander dual hatting piece, so it took me quite a while to fully grasp what that meant; the authority and the responsibilities of the job itself.” See LEADERSHIP/ Page 21

Staff Writer

EVESHAM—Michael Barth, whose career working for Evesham Township spanned 30 years across parts of four decades, has officially retired from the municipal government. Barth, who assumed the role of township manager on Feb. 7, 2018, left the post on July 26. “This is a great town,” said Barth during his last council meeting on July 16. “30 years is a longtime to be anywhere and a lot of great memories have been made here over the years, along with a lot of great friendships. I can’t say enough about the staff here, even from the time that I began in the police department all the way up through the time I began serving as township manager; everyone who works in this town seems to be such a cohesive unit. There is a reason this town is the way it is and it is because of everyone working together.” During a special Evesham Township Council meeting on July 23, Mayor Jaclyn Veasy, Deputy Mayor Heather Cooper, Councilwoman Patricia Hansen and Councilman Bob DiEnna voted to select Robert Corrales, who most recently served as a senior advisor to state Senate President Stephen Sweeney, as Barth’s replacement. Corrales, according to Veasy, will receive an annual salary of $130,000 with 20 days of vacation time. “I wish current Evesham Township Manager Michael Barth a happy and well-deserved

Barth, who earned a bachelor’s degree from American Military University in Criminal Justice with a concentration in terrorism and counterterrorism, began his municipal career as a police officer for the Evesham Township Police Department in August 1989, assigned to the Patrol Bureau. He was named deputy police chief of the municipal police force in November 2000, and became the municipality’s chief of police in

March 2010. He retired as the chief of police in 2013, but continued serving the department in a fiscal administrative capacity in the years after. Barth is also a graduate of the 236th session of the FBI Academy in Quantico, Va. and has held, or continues to hold, memberships with various law enforcement support organizations. “Thank you for your unwavering commitment as an integral figure in maintaining the integrity and prosperity of Evesham Township,” said Veasy on See EVESHAM/ Page 22

Message That Backway into Presidential Lakes Would Be Closed Permanently Sparks Outrage and Leads to Confusion After NJDEP Refutes It

Concern Arises Over Dogs Purportedly Running Loose

Emergency Road Repairs Were Completed Wednesday After Civic Association Asked Residents to ‘Continually Bombard’ State Officials with Calls and Emails By Douglas D. Melegari

the decision made by the state, please feel free to contact Brendan Byrne State Forest and/or the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).” The posting led to immediate condemnation by residents and the Presidential Lakes Civic Association of any permanent road closure attempt by the state. The Presidential Lakes Civic Association, in a series of social media postings, provided tips to residents on how to effectively protest the road closure, with one urging residents to “continually bombard” the offices of state Senator Dawn Marie Addiego, Assemblyman Joseph Howarth and Assemblyman Ryan Peters with phone calls and messages complaining about the closure. “The area of concern is that if Route 70 is closed, we have no alternate point of access or egress from our development,” wrote the Presidential Lakes Civic Association. “We would be trapped if an emergency arises while Route 70 is closed.” The association also contended that such a road closure not only impacts the residents of Presidential Lakes, but also those who reside in Lebanon Lakes and Chatsworth. “When the 70/72 traffic circle (Four Mile Circle) is closed due to accidents; to get to Pemberton, Vincentown, Mount Holly, or Medford; we will have to travel through Country Lakes and then through Browns Mills or through Chatsworth and around,” wrote the Presidential Lakes Civic Association. “We also have to consider it is just not the extra distance,

Staff Writer

PEMBERTON—A backway into the Presidential Lakes section of Pemberton Township was closed to traffic last Saturday morning after a section of road shoulder was washed out by a recent storm, leading to a hazardous condition. Mixed messages from officials about the anticipated length of the emergency road closure created confusion in the neighborhood, with a Facebook post from Pemberton Township stating that a state official told the municipality that the closure would be permanent, sparking outrage and deep concern among residents. Pemberton Township officials were the first to notify residents of the closure, which published a July 26 message on Facebook at 4:27 p.m. titled, “State Closes Upper Mill and Deep Hollow Roads Permanently!” The message was also posted on the township’s website. “This afternoon, on July 26, 2019, the State of New Jersey, through the supervisor of the Brendan Byrne State Forest, informed the Pemberton Township administration that the state is closing Upper Mill Road and Deep Hollow Road to Oregon Trail, permanently, effective tomorrow morning, July 27, 2019, due to a washout and the state’s decision not to repair their roads,” wrote Pemberton Township. “…We will contact the state and make every effort to have the state reverse their decision. In the meantime, if you have any questions about

but we will be dealing with a much large volume of traffic due to the road closure.” On Monday, the Presidential Lakes Civic Association posted on social media that “misinformation of a permanent closure” was disseminated by Pemberton Township, “which

WASHINGTON—Some residents from the Lower Bank section of Washington Township claim that threatening dogs are frequently running loose within the vicinity of DeBow Lane, a dead-end township street. “I can’t walk my dog,” said resident Dave West to the Washington Township Committee in June. “The dogs tonight chased my car.” West, a resident of DeBow Lane, claims that the dogs are coming from 4 DeBow Lane, the residence of Thomas Florczak. “Mr. Florczak is here tonight with one of his dogs on a leash, which they usually aren’t,” said West during a June 11 committee meeting. “I have sent five letters asking what is going to be done about it.” While West claimed that he had videos of the dogs running at large on DeBow Lane, Stephen Raymond, one of the municipality’s solicitors, said that the township cannot enforce its dog ordinance without seeing a violation happening firsthand. “I am a dog person and I was out doing a cleanup on DeBow Lane and the dogs did come at me,” said resident Barry Cavileer, who retired from the township committee last year, during the June governing body meeting. “He (Florczak) called them, but they didn’t come…but they did not bite me either.” Cavileer contended West hadn’t made up the claim.

Motorist Becomes Trapped After Vehicle Collides with Dump Truck

Photo Submitted

An Acura MDX is left severely mangled after colliding with a dump truck on Route 70 in Medford on July 26. MEDFORD—A violent motor vehicle collision on Route 70 involving an Acura MDX and a Peterbilt dump truck closed the state highway for an extended period of time on July 26 and sent two people to the hospital. The wreck occurred around 5:06 a.m., trapping the driver of the Acura MDX. According to Medford Township Police Chief Richard J. Meder, a preliminary police investigation revealed that the driver of the Acura MDX, a 32-year-old man from Magnolia, was traveling eastbound on Route 70 when his vehicle crossed the centerline and struck the dump truck being operated by a 63 year-oldman from Carney’s Point. The impact of the crash caused the dump truck to catch fire along the shoulder of the roadway, but the operator was out of it when

police arrived at the scene of the crash. Meder said the driver of the Acura MDX was extricated by the Medford Township Fire Department and treated by Medford EMS and Virtua Paramedics for lower extremity pain and lacerations, prior to being transferred into Cooper's aeromedical helicopter for additional treatment of his injuries. He was flown to the Trauma Center at Cooper University Hospital in Camden. The dump truck operator was evaluated and transported to Virtua Hospital—Marlton for his injuries, which included torso pain. “Charges are still pending as the investigation continues,” said Lt. Arthur Waterman, a spokesman for the Medford Township Police Department. “As far as I am aware, none of the injuries are life threatening at this time.”

Smash and Grab Suspects Steal $15,000 in Apple Products from Marlton Target MARLTON—The Evesham Township Police Department is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying or providing information regarding a trio who stole $15,000 worth of Apple merchandise from a Target Store at 750 S. Route 73 in the Marlton section of Evesham Township. According to police, three suspects entered the store around 2:20 a.m. on July 25 after one of them used a tool to shatter a front sliding glass door. Once inside, the trio ran to the electronics department and smashed a glass display case containing Apple products. “The actors then loaded their bags with $15,000 worth of Apple electronics,” police wrote in a press release. “They were in store for a total of three minutes.” Surveillance camera footage later released by police shows that one of the suspects was wearing a dark colored hoodie, while the others were wearing gray colored hoodies. The suspects had their faces covered with cloths or handkerchiefs.

Police Search for Sock Bandit Caught on Camera Robbing Pemberton Borough TD Bank

PEMBERTON BOROUGH—Police are searching for a bank robber caught on camera holding out a sock covered hand, demanding cash from a teller of a TD Bank in Pemberton Borough. Images from the 68 Elizabeth St. incident, released by New Jersey State Police last week, shows that the bandit entered the bank through its rear entrance around 9:31 a.m. on July 23, wearing black pants, a navy-blue hoodie, black sunglasses or goggles, and socks on both hands, before approaching the teller and demanding the cash. After the teller provided the bank robber with an undisclosed amount of cash, the bandit exited the bank and fled on foot toward the nearby Sunbury Village section of Pemberton Township. Police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the bank robber as the bandits’ face was mostly obscured by the articles of clothing, which also included a dark colored handkerchief. However, state police described the suspect as “a 30-year-old black male,

Anyone with information about the bank robbery is asked to contact the Red Lion Station of the state police at 609-859-2282.

Vehicle Catches Fire MEDFORD—A 2004 GMC Yukon caught fire in Medford Township on Monday evening. Police and fire personnel from Medford Township responded to the area of 17 North Main Street around 7:20 p.m. after receiving a report that a vehicle was on fire.

“The fire was contained to the vehicle,” said Lt. Arthur Waterman, a spokesman for the Medford Township Police Department. “There were no injuries reported.” The cause of the blaze is being investigated by the Medford Township Fire Marshal’s office.

K9 Sniffs Out Crack-Cocaine EVESHAM—A police officer who developed suspicion that a driver of a vehicle he pulled over was in possession of narcotics purportedly turned out to be right. An officer with the Evesham Township Police Department conducted a motor vehicle stop on Route 73 around 2:05 a.m. on July 27, after allegedly observing the vehicle being operated in a careless manner. Acting on his hunch that the driver may have

been in possession of drugs, the officer requested the deployment of a K9 to the scene. The K9, police said, alerted officers to the presence of narcotics inside the vehicle. A subsequent search of the vehicle by officers resulted in the discovery of crack-cocaine. Richard Kinnel, 61, of Atco, was charged with third-degree possession of crack-cocaine. He was released on his own recognizance.

MEDFORD LAKES—An electrical fire caused some damage to a 7-Eleven store in Medford Lakes last week. The blaze, which was first reported at around 9 a.m. on July 26, according to Medford Lakes Fire Department Chief Craig Farnsworth, reached one-alarm. “Damage was contained to the rear of the building,” he said. No injuries were reported from the blaze.

Pictures of the response released by the department depicted a heavy smoke condition inside the store during firefighting efforts. The fire chief said that the cause of the fire is under investigation. The convenience store, described as a “neighborhood vibe” was still closed as of press time. Other establishments attached to the store had reopened after being temporarily closed for a time Friday.

Alert Resident Reports Suspicious Activity at a Vacant Home, Leading to Drug Arrest EVESHAM—A man with an active warrant out for his arrest was arrested on methamphetamine and heroin charges after an alert resident reported suspicious activity at a vacant home in Evesham Township. A concerned Evesham resident contacted the

Evesham Township Police Department at 10:19 p.m. on July 30, according to authorities, after observing a suspicious man rummaging through dumpsters on the vacant property. Responding officers quickly located the man,

Robert Bungcayao, 63, of Marlton, and he was arrested after it was discovered that he had the active arrest warrant. “Incident to arrest, the male was searched and found to be in possession of methamphetamines

and heroin,” said police in a press release. Bungcayao was charged with third-degree possession of methamphetamines and thirddegree possession of heroin. He was released on his own recognizance.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Focus on Brainware, Before Hardware: Develop Emergency Operations Plan

While a physical Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is needed in Southampton Township (Emergency Management Coordinator Claims He Is Taking Steps To Establish OEM, Local Emergency Preparedness Council Following June Flood Debacle, Pine Barrens Tribune: July 27, 2019), much of the planning and data gathering for the running of an EOC can be done anywhere, and started now, if not already underway. A survey to gather contact information for any and all resources that may be available within the township, or adjoining jurisdictions, should be done soonest. Examples questions include: • What contractors normally store heavy equipment in the township? (Welding, gas cutting torches, water pumps, and towing gear, etc.) • What places could accommodate, and who could staff, an emergency medical point? • Have the Burlington County EM com mun icat ions volunteers (A R ES/ RACES) been brought into the planning process? • Do we have a working Community Emergency Response Tea m (CERT ) program? If not, why not? • Cell and internet communications often go out early in an emergency, including all those ‘triple plan’ cable phones that are not really landline phones because they go through the internet. • B u r l i n g t o n C o u n t y ’s C e n t r a l Communications has multiple back-up plans, but if they need those plans, it means communications are already overloaded.

Is the eventual EOC going to be served by landline phones that connect to our local Central Office (Beaver Dam Road) via underground cables? • Can the EOC contact fire and EMS units directly if it cannot go through the county? • How would the EOC best utilize the only municipal radio system (the one for public works) during an emergency? • Does the radio system interface with the New Jersey State Police Red Lion Barracks? A channel exists, but is it in the plan? • What doctors, nurses, EMTs live here? • What stores have food and other supplies? And more. • Who will be the designated EOC staff? • W hat k nowledge and training is available for EOC set up and operating? The New Jersey State Police Emergency Management Division has, or had, such training courses and should be contacted so that the township does not do this in a vacuum. All the details on how to do this have been rather well worked by people that know what they are about. What is the plan? Having had some training in EOC and Incident Command operations, I have come to know that intelligent, thoughtful planning is as important, if not more important than any physical entity. There has been a tendency to put too much attention on hardware and not enough on brainware. ~ Douglas W. McCray Southampton, New Jersey

GUEST COMMENTARY How Did PSE&G Restore Power So Quickly?

How did Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G) restore power to those affected by the July 22 storm so quickly? Strategy, teamwork and communication. New Jersey’s largest utility restored power to all of the 250,000 customers affected by the July 22 storm as of 3:45 p.m. on July 25. The majority of the physical damage caused by the storm occurred in Burlington, Camden, Mercer and Gloucester counties. Our customers count on us to get the lights back on as quickly as possible. Restoration work of this size is challenging. It takes an incredible amount of strategic collaboration and hard work to ensure the jobs get done safely and the customers stay informed. Our employees take great pride in knowing our company is among the best utilities at restoring power to customers after major storms. It is an around-the-clock effort. Everyone comes together as a team with the attitude of, “What can I do help?” All available PSE&G resources were deployed to quickly and safely repair the storm damage. In addition to PSE&G’s 1,900 service personnel (includes line workers, tree services, engineers, customer service representatives, etc.), more than 1,000 workers from out-of-state utilities and 100 contractors assisted in the restoration. Partnering with the owners and property managers of Burlington Center Mall, a staging area was established to receive and strategically deploy crews and equipment. The restoration process gives priority to returning electric service to the greatest number of customers as quickly as possible; repairs are made based on the number of customers affected. Customers sometimes ask us, “Why are the crews just sitting in their trucks?” Our crews in the field work closely with our operational team to ensure power lines are de-energized before restoration work can begin, and sometimes they have to wait to ensure its safe. As part of storm management, PSE&G remained in regular communication with state, county and municipal officials, emergency management offices and critical

customers, which include police/fire departments, health care facilities, schools, sewage pumping stations, other utilities and customers who require life-saving medical equipment. Communication with our customers during outages is just as important as repairing the system during restoration. We understand our customers want information about when power will be restored. Customers have multiple ways to stay connected with us— phone, our website, social media and even via text. Customers who are signed up for MyAlerts and provide a cellphone number can easily report an outage via text and get immediate updates. For the most recent storm, PSE&G established mobile customer service centers in the hardest-hit areas, offering a place to cool off and free water and ice to anyone without power. Customer service liaisons also made deliveries directly to some of the customers who experienced the longest power outages. While storms that create massive damage can challenge utilities, we thank everyone who contributed to the safe and quick restoration. PSE&G employees a re dedicated, responsive and focused on customer needs, so we thank them and all of our partners for a job well done. We’re proud of the restoration and the reliability of our system, which helped mitigate the storm impact. PSE&G keeps the power on more than 99 percent of the time and it is important that we perform well when faced with such challenges. Jack Bridges, PSE&G vice president-electric operations, and Fred Daum, PSE&G executive director-customer operations, contributed to this piece. Public Service Electric and Gas Co. (PSE&G) is New Jersey’s oldest and largest gas and electric delivery public utility, serving nearly three-quarters of the state’s population. PSE&G is the winner of the ReliabilityOne Award for superior electric system reliability as well as the 2018 Outstanding Customer Reliability Experience Award. PSE&G is a subsidiary of Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. (PSEG) (NYSE:PEG), a diversified energy company. PSEG has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North America for 11 consecutive years.

Comedy Variety Show Equips Seniors to Recycle According to Local Policies For the Pine Barrens Tribune

PEMBERTON—Bill Kerwood is a man who is serious about the environment. But in order to convey a point to others that recycling is of upmost importance to protect the environment, Kerwood knows he must captivate the imagination of others by combining comedy, interaction and fun. Kerwood demonstrated some incredible feats of magic at the Pemberton Township Senior Center on July 23 in hopes to empower local seniors to do everything they can to support the conversion of waste into reusable material. His magic show, “The Magic World of Recycling,” included tearing a newspaper into shreds and discussing ways to use it as papier-mâché in crafts. At one point during the discussion, the torn paper reappeared as whole, as if never torn! This was one of many magic tricks he shared, and that no one could figure out! Other tricks involved cards and rope. The 29-year illusionist even did some mind reading. The core content of the show, however, tracked three common scenarios of litter and how it manifests. Participants learned about attitudes, habits, and practices when it comes to recycling, along with proactive and preventative responses. “The rubber meets the road as the group sees the ultimate advantage in closing the loop by recycling what would normally be tossed

aside or thrown away,” said Kerwood, who also visited the senior center last year to emphasize the importance of recycling. Just two days later, 49 local seniors took a trip to the Bucks County Playhouse to see “Mamma Mia.” A live, six-piece orchestra, along with 23 talented singers, dancers and actors entertained them during the two-and-a-half-hour show. The finale, with all of the cast on stage dancing and singing, had most of the audience doing so as well in the aisles. Several years ago, the playhouse, which celebrated its 80th anniversary on July 1, was badly damaged by floodwaters. However, renovations have now been completed and the venue is now presenting a full season of theatrical productions. The Deck, a new restaurant located in the rear of the playhouse, opened less than six months ago. The establishment has an industrial design, which incorporates a lot of metal and sheets of glass. A large deck overlooks the Delaware River. 49 seniors from the Pemberton area were seated on the deck, allowing them to take in scenic views of the river. Roast beef served to the group was “fork tender.” Chicken and salmon, also served to the seniors, was perfectly prepared. Crème Brule and ice cream was offered for dessert. Area seniors are eager to return to the playhouse and restaurant in 2020. New Hope is about an hour away from Pemberton, so it is well worth putting on one’s “To-Do List.”

How Long Can You Go? “H He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And whatt does the Lord require off you? To act justly and to lovve mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8 NIV

ave you ever tried to see how long you can go without sinning, without a single bad or unkind word, acttion n, or thougght? Even if you can control your tongue and your actioons, you u will probably find it impossible to control your thoughts. Our thoughts naturallyy turn toward sin, as we are apt to think k unkindd things abbout th he very people we live and work with. And even if we can keep from thinking unkind or hostile thoughts about others, how long before laa s civious th hough hts pop into our headds. Most of us count it as a moral victorry when we simply refrain from m acting on our sinful thoughts and desires. All of this might lead us to wonder if the human race isn’t totally depraved.

mercy, saying “Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.” (Psaalm 143::2 NIV) Whaat giives us hope is that God is merciful and loving and his patience and forgiveness knows no bounds. The apostle Paul suggests that the law was given that we might be consciouss of our depravity, and that God’s mercy might save us: “For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercyy on them all.” (Romaans 11:32 NIV) So what aree we to do? We cannot just give in too sin, bu ut must con ntinuee to fi figght th he good fight, struggling every day to live lives of purity and righteousness, hoping that we can do a little better every day. ~ Christopher Simon

created widespread panic in our community.” The association cited a discussion that was held with New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) officials, which is the agency in charge of the Brendan Byrne State Forest park office. “The NJDEP States to the Presidential Lakes Civic Assn: ‘Please note this is not a permanent closure,’” wrote the Presidential Lakes Civic Association. “‘Whomever stated that is mistaken. It is temporarily closed, for public safety, as it is hazardous, until a repair plan and funding for it can be arranged. We appreciate patience and understanding in the near term.’” The association also told residents that workers at the Brendan Byrne State Forest park office said that NJDEP emergency management officials were working to determine who is responsible for the road repair. In the July 26 Facebook post from Pemberton Township, officials wrote that the municipality’s administration reminded the state on Nov. 1, 2017 that Upper Mill and Deep Hollow roads “were not dedicated township roads,” and that “the maintenance and repairs are required to be performed by the owner, the State of New Jersey.” Pemberton Township Mayor David Patriarca, just hours after Upper Mill and Deep Hollow roads were closed, told this newspaper that the municipality performed an inventory of roads within the township and found that it had been maintaining numerous ones that actually either belonged to private property owners or the state. “We deter m ined that we have been maintaining roads for quite some time that are not a township responsibility or township obligation,” he said. “Quite frankly, it is not even legal for the township to do work on private property. We can’t go out and fix them.” Patriarca contended it was the township’s

Saturday, August 3, 2019

WWW.PINEBARRENSTRIBUNE.COM position that the state should keep Upper Mill and Deep Hollow roads open. “It has been open for decades,” he said. “It is wrong of them to come out now and take out a major artery that not only acts as a way in and out for residents, but also for emergency responders,” he said. “Now, emergency responders have to go an extra mile or two to get in the development.” On Tuesday, the Presidential Lakes Civic Association posted on social media that it held a discussion with Howarth’s office and “due to the location” and “low volume of traffic associated with the road,” repairs to the road would have a lower priority. “As he (an aide to Howarth) was looking at the road repair database/list, they estimate the Deep Hollow and Upper Mill road repair to be almost five years away,” wrote the Presidential Lakes Civic Association. “But, realistically speaking, other roads of higher usage added to the list at a later date can (and probably will) perpetually push us further back.” Caryn Shinske, a public information officer with the NJDEP, told this newspaper Tuesday that Upper Mill and Deep Hollow roads were closed temporarily because a recent storm washed out a section of the road shoulder, creating a hazardous condition. “Keeping the public safe is our top priority,” she said. “The road will be repaired soon.” When Shinske was asked if the agency had a timeframe for the repairs, she said she didn’t have one. Aides for both Howarth and Peters told this newspaper late Tuesday afternoon that they were in contact with the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) about the matter and were waiting to hear back from the agency. “I know those roads are a major time and traffic saver for that community and also exist for safety purposes should there be a local forest fire, so my staff and I are working diligently to get some answers,” Peters said. However, by Wednesday morning, equipment

An ground view of a washout on Deep Hollow Road, right before it turns into Upper Mill Road. arrived on Upper Mill and Deep Hollow roads to begin making repairs, according to Township Administrator Dennis Gonzalez. Gonzalez told this newspaper that the township received “not very much notice” about the road closure on late last Friday afternoon, providing the town “with little time tell folks.” He said the message about the closure was relayed by a Brendan T. Byrne State Forest staff member through Township Emergency Management Coordinator and Fire Chief Craig Augustoni. “The staff at Brendan Byrne told us it was a permanent road closure,” he said. “The NJDEP has never communicated with us. It sounds like they are getting a little bit of flack, so they changed their minds. They have equipment out there and are sort of looking to fix it now. It went from a permanent closure to, ‘Oops, maybe we should fix it.’”

Brian Woods, an aide to Peters, told this newspaper Wednesday that there was “some kind of mix-up” and Pemberton township “didn’t get official word.” “We got official word from the NJDEP that said that the road was temporarily closed because a section of shoulder washed out creating hazardous condition,” he said. “They are emphasizing that it is only a temporary road closure and repairs are a priority.” The roads were reopened at around 1 p.m. on Wednesday, according to Shinske. “I was just alerted that the repairs were done today and the roads reopened 20 minutes ago,” she wrote to this newspaper at 1:20 p.m. on July 31. The Presidential Lakes Civic Association posted late Wednesday that it was very thankful to all of the officials who assisted in reopening the roads.

Pine Barrens Tribune

I am thrilled to tell you that you can now test yourself for pretty much anything! It is absolutely fantastic and quickly puts you on track to better health! In the old days, if you wanted to check for an ailment, you had to make an appointment with a doctor, potentially wait a week, drive over, request the test you want, or hope the pertinent one is offered. After the appointment, you most likely had to go to a lab somewhere else, probably on another day, because of fasting requirements. Then you would wait another week for results! Today you can order your own tests from many labs nationwide, either online, or by going directly to the laboratory or local hospital where these are offered. Call in advance. I just did it the other day to test the theory before writing this. I went to the local hospital’s out-patient laboratory on a Thursday. I ordered a ferritin and TIBC test for iron, filled out a simple form, provided a driver’s license and had blood drawn within minutes. I was in and out of the door in 8 minutes! Typically, results are made available on your laboratory’s secure website or they can be picked up. If you are buying a test online, the website should begin with “https,” not “http,” in the URL, to keep your credit card information secure. Here are two options to order your own labs: RequestaTest.com WalkinLabs.com You can call Quest Diagnostics as well, or go online to QuestDirect.com . Even if you need a local lab or a phlebotomist, you can arrange that pretty easily as well, just visit anylabtestnow.

com to find a location near you. There is also Phlebotomy Services International and you can visit phlebotomyservices.com . Advantages 1. It is convenient because some tests for urine, saliva or feces are conducted from home, and you mail samples back to the lab in prepaid envelopes. 2. It is private, which is useful for drug/ alcohol testing or gene testing…even STDs. 3. Self-pay pricing is dramatically reduced. Monitoring your PT, fer ritin, A1c and cholesterol just got a whole lot cheaper! 4. Get well quicker! Ordering highly specialized tests can reveal the missing lin k, a nd therefore speed hea ling for chronic situations that haven’t responded to conventional treatments. Aren’t you tired of doing the same thing with no results? There are many possible disadvantages, which I outline in the longer version of my article on suzycohen.com . Tuesday is Suzeday, and that is when I distribute my newsletter which also discusses specialized lab tests now available. One potential disadvantage is that you could get an abnormal test result. What do you do? Obviously, you will need guidance from your practitioner.

THE HOBBYIST

Pine Barrens Tribune

♦ Page 15

I Wouldn’t Change a Thing My husband, Pat, and I have been married for many years and I still love him to death. We are blessed in that we adore spending time together. It is sappy, but true. I am thrilled when he comes home in the evenings and always a little sad when he leaves for the day. Pat likes to give me a hard time, of that you can be sure. He likes to ask me during the wee hours of the morning if I am up for the day. He takes my favorite pen to his job site, never to be seen again. He sometimes he describes my cooking as, “Well, it isn’t terrible!” Adding insult to injury, those four sons of ours enjoy the relationship that their father and I share, and therefore, love to pick on me in the same fashion. They mess with my hair and wrestle me to the couch for no apparent reason. They also enjoy making me an unwilling defensive player as they bounce a basketball in the kitchen, while pushing against me and telling me to box out. Worse yet, all of this teasing is becoming a Clinch family tradition as our new and beautiful daughter-in-law, Stephanie, reported that Vernon likes to nudge her in the ribs at zero-dark-thirty and tell her that she is burning daylight. Yet another classic Pat Clinch line. Another thing Pat loves to do that really gets my goat, is to whistle when he walks in the door at the end of the day to let me know that he is in the house. Oh sure, he could call out, “Lori, I am home!” in a fashion reminiscent of Ricky Ricardo, or belt out a heartfelt, “Yodel-Ay-EE-OOO!” But no, he does two short whistles and surely smiles to himself as I call back from wherever I am with, “Don’t think you can whistle for me like I am an animal, Pat!” Last Tuesday was my birthday and I spent it mowing, laundering and doing paperwork. Not exactly a cause for celebration, but hey, those bills weren’t going to pay themselves! Towards the end of the work day, I had some delicious leftovers prepared for dinner, the dishwasher going and a load of whites spinning themselves out in the washer as I sat at the desk doing some online banking.

Lori Clinch COLUMNIST

I was lost in thought when I heard the backdoor shut, and there it was, that annoying whistle. I ignored it at first thinking I would let him come and find me! He did it again and I just couldn’t hold back, “I’m not a dog, Pat!” I shouted out, then for emphasis repeated with, “Not a dog!” I could hear him coming down the hall and he did it again, and from the sound of things, the whistling had actually summoned the dog. Go figure. I sensed that he was most likely standing in the door and then he had the audacity to whistle again. I decided to ignore him and see how he would like that, and then from the doorway I heard, “Happy birthday Ma!” I turned and there stood none other than Huey, our second oldest son, who had driven three hours just to surprise me on my happy day with a bouquet of flowers! Oh sure, he could just have walked in the door, left the whistle out of it and called out a heartfelt, “Surprise!” But where is the fun in that? They pick on me, they give me a hard time, but to be honest with you, I wouldn’t change a thing. Stephanie recently reported that when she rolls over in bed at 4 a.m., Vernon asks her if she is up for the day. I thank God for a daughter-in-law who can put up with the family of Clinch men. Heaven knows it is not for the faint at heart. Meanwhile, I am on her team. I just hope she is good at boxing out. 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?”

Booming U.S. Job Market Is your current career not what you had in mind, or are you preparing to enter higher education, but unsure what types of jobs are out there for you? You should know about some of the fastest growing careers in the United States. Here are a few of the markets in the country that are expected to experience huge growth in the years to come, as reported by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. These growing fields may just take you to places you have never considered. Software Developer Forecasted Growth by 2026: 37 percent Median Annual Wage: $103,620 This position is unique because, while college degrees in software development are obtainable, many in the industry are self-taught. The field is on pace to grow because technology is constantly evolving. Some experts in the industry create applications that allow people to perform tasks on a computer, while others develop the underlying systems that operate and control networks. Solar Photovoltaic Installers Forecasted Growth by 2026: 104.9 percent Median Annual Wage: $342,680 The Solar Energy Industries Association estimates over 242,000 Americans are currently working in solar occupations. With installation costs dropping over 70 percent in the last decade, it is no surprise the industry is expecting huge growth. The need for installers will continue to surge as the country demands more solar dependency. This position typically requires workers to install systems on roofs or other structures based on site assessment and schematics. Physician Assistants Forecasted Growth by 2026: 37.3 percent

JOB FAIR MONDAY, August 5, 2019 1 P.M to 6 P.M. at Bass Pro Shops Atlantic City 30 N. Christopher Columbus Blvd. Atlantic City, NJ 08401 Median Annual Wage: $108,610 Constant growth in the demand for healthcare services will continue to increase as the population ages. The occupation typically requires a master’s degree from an accredited education program to receive a license. Since physician assistants can provide much of the same care as physicians, the field will thrive as PAs can be trained more quickly. Genetic Counselor Forecasted Growth by 2026: 29 percent Median Annual Wage: $80,370 Genetic counselors have specialized education in both genetics and counseling to personalize treatment and care to specific patients. The growth in the industry is due to scientists continuing to broaden the relationship between human genetics and rare inherited disorders and cancers.

LEADERSHIP (Continued from Page 1)

Rodr ick Davis, 87th Air Base Wing executive director, said it was interesting to see Richardson’s thought process transition from an operator mindset to a new supporting entity role. Davis noted being able to balance the dualhat position (being commander of JBMDL and 87th) is complicated. He said dual-hat position does not always have “black and white” problems and solutions. Richardson, after being educated on the history of the 87th, said it was clear to him that the wing needed to change. “I knew that I wanted to operationalize this wing, so when I got here, I started to recognize that there was not a lot of processes,” he said. “I am a process guy, right? I’m a checklist guy. I realized there was not a lot of that here.” Although the wing still is a customer service-based organization, Richardson pinpointed areas that previously had not been focused on. He wanted to get the Airmen ready for what was next: sending them out to be successful in contingency environments. Richardson said getting back to that mindset was not something he was expecting to do, but welcomed the challenge since most of his background fell under that aspect. Being an installation commander comes with many responsibilities. Richardson’s joint base command position gave him plenty of projects that coincided with these tasks, one of which was to advocate what the base stood for and represented. “One of the big things that he really pushed

in the two years he has been here is for everybody across the board to acknowledge that this is Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and to identify themselves as ‘I work at JBMDL,’” Davis said. “He has really tried to get us to identify as one entity, not three separate ones. Even though we are only ten years into being a joint base, Col. Richardson has made some big successful strides in the identification of the installation. To me, I think that was one of his bigger successes.” JBMDL was faced with the challenge to have its community recognized as a whole, rather than its annexes seen separately. Since the creation of the joint base in 2009, the memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the three installations had not changed. It was originally written to merge the bases together and build a foundation for the services to begin a cohesive working relationship. “It was War and Peace written for the stand-up of a joint base, not the sustainment of a joint base,” Richardson said. “I started to realize ver y quick ly that we had to address the rewrite of the MOA. That is one of those things that I wish I could have gotten across the finish line. There is so much to rebuilding that thing and so many hands in the bowl that it is hard to do. I don’t know that I fully understood what I was getting into coming here.” Having a 20-year operational background gave Richardson an advantage over previous JBMDL installation commanders. This enabled him to address the same reoccurring issues and proposals in a new light, which directly affects working relations and the outside community. “He was a breath of fresh air in the job

because we are both operators and think the same way,” Davis said. “In my conversations I have had with him in the last couple months, I know he feels there is so much more that he thinks he could do for this base if he had more time, but I also think he is ready to start this new chapter in his life.” R i c h a r d s o n c o m p l e t e d t wo ye a r s commanding America’s only tri-service installation housing all five services whose missions and training blend into one another, demanding him to dr ive his ambition, innovation and motivation at full speed. As his last week wrapped up, Richardson prepa re d for h is cha nge of com ma nd ceremony and marked off his last box in the mission checklist as commander of the joint base. Richardson has been named a legislative liaison for the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force. He will work from the Pentagon.

EVESHAM (Continued from Page 3)

July 16 as she read from a proclamation recognizing Barth’s years of service to the municipality. “Your years of service to this thriving community cannot be diminished or understated, and your presence will be greatly missed.” Corrales, who has a bachelor’s degree in Labor Studies and a master’s degree in Labor and Employment Relations from Rutgers University, will assume oversight responsibilities related to the day-to-day operations in all aspects of Evesham’s municipal organization, and he will also be responsible for the implementation of policy outlined and approved by Evesham Council. Prior to his recent work on the state level, Corrales served as the business administrator for Camden from 2014 to 2018. There, he managed day-to-day operations for the city, which had a workforce of nearly 600 employees, and he supervised all of the city’s department heads. He also served as principal negotiator on behalf of the city during collective bargaining negotiations. A press release issued by Evesham following Corrales’ appointment to the township manager post contended that Camden experienced more than $2 billion in economic development, and its bond rating increased from “junk bonds” to a “BBB+” rating, under his leadership. Corrales also has prior experience working as Camden’s communications director and deputy director of code enforcement. He also worked as deputy press secretary and press secretary for former Governor Jon Corzine from 2008 to 2010. “I think he will be a good addition to the township and will really shepherd us into what we would like to see happen and how this township can grow,” Veasy said. Following the special meeting on July 23, Corrales said he was “deeply humbled” and thankful for the confidence the mayor and council had bestowed upon him by appointing him as Evesham’s new township manager.

WWW.PINEBARRENSTRIBUNE.COM “Evesham is a wonderful community with residents and employees who take great pride in ensuring the township remains a great place to raise a family,” Corrales said. “Working with the mayor and council, I truly look forward to playing a key role in enhancing services to residents and expanding economic opportunities within Evesham.” Councilman Ken D’Andrea, who was not at the June 23 special council meeting, was said in the press release to have later reached out to Corrales to offer his support and “vote of confidence.” “I look forward to working with Rob as we continue to make Evesham Township a great place to live and raise a family,” said D’Andrea through the press release. Barth’s retirement is one of many personnel changes happening within the last month. The changes follow Veasy, Cooper and Hansen, all Democrats, being swept into office last November, taking the reins of township council from Republicans after more than a decade of GOP control. Also announcing his retirement from Evesham is Tom Shanahan, who started working for the municipality in 2003 as deputy treasurer, before assuming the township finance director post in 2007 and deputy township manager post in 2008. Last year, Shanahan was named senior deputy manager of the municipality. “Your morals, ethics and advice will always stay with us,” said Veasy on July 16 as she read from a proclamation recognizing Shanahan’s years of service to the municipality. “You have been such an inspirational colleague and your knowledge and expertise were always beyond par. Thank you for giving your time and talents to Evesham Township. You have made a lasting impression on the entire organization and we are grateful for the experience you shared with us. Farewell to the man whose word we trusted more than operating procedures, checklists and manuals.” Veasy also contended that council and its team “could not be here without” Shanahan’s service

to the municipality. “I really am going to miss the people here— mayor, council and staff,” said Shanahan, who also served in the U.S. Army from 1985-1991. “It has been great working with a fantastic group of people who care about their community. I have seen it throughout my years. Evesham is truly an exceptional place.” Shanahan’s career path started in grad school as he enjoyed taking municipal management and accounting/economics courses. He also served as an intern during this time with the Camden Redevelopment Agency. In the early to mid-1990s, he worked in finance in Egg Harbor Township under Peter Miller, who he called “one of the most respected township managers in the state.” In an interview with this newspaper preceding the June 16 meeting, Shanahan said that he is most proud during his time with Evesham of helping to develop a “record surplus” of over $10 million in 2018 (which is 28 percent of the operating budget, according to the township auditor). “In the finance world, surplus is the most important factor when looking at fiscal health,” he said. “I am glad that I could bring everything I learned on my path to local government to Evesham.” Elizabeth Peddicord was appointed by Evesham Council on July 16 as the municipality’s new director of finance. Leah Furey-Bruder resigned as township planner on July 19. Blackwell Albertson, the municipality’s longtime tax assessor, resigned in May. Karen McMahon was appointed last month to serve as Evesham’s new tax assessor. Also hired by the municipality recently is Zane Clark, who was a longtime reporter with the Sun Newspapers. He has assumed the new municipal post of director of public information. During the July 16 meeting, council approved a $39,579,544 municipal budget for fiscal year 2019. Veasy noted that the budget maintains a “stable tax rate” for the township and allots money for new public works and police department equipment.

COMMAND

DOGS

“It has been an incredible two years.” In the past two years, under Richardson’s leadership, the men and women of the 87th have captured countless awards at the Air Force and Major Command level. Following the passing of the guidon, Gigliotti received her first salute from JBMDL and has begun JBMDL’s next, new chapter. “Let’s be clear—it is really her unwavering support of our Airmen, and genuine care for people and their mission, which makes her the right fit for this wing,” Gordy said. “I have no doubt you are the perfect leader for this command—you bring the right experience, leadership and care for Airmen that we need to take this wing and base to the next level. Welcome to the team.” Gigliotti comes from the Air Mobility Command Unit on Scott Air Force Base, in Illinois, where she served as director of Manpower, Personnel and Services. Prior to that post, she was stationed at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, in Texas, where she served as a commander for the 37th Training Group. Additionally, she has served as a section commander, military personnel flight commander, executive officer, protocol officer, squadron commander, group commander, and has held staff assignments on the Air Staff and Joint Staff. “To the members of the 87th Air Base Wing, and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst—you are my inspiration and the reason I serve,” Gigliotti said. “Being your commander is an honor and privilege I do not take for granted. I have been extremely fortunate throughout my U.S. Air Force career to serve and lead at a variety of levels, but I am in my happy place when I watch service members connect, thrive and get after the mission.” Gigliotti challenged “Team JBMDL” to

“He is in a difficult spot,” Cavileer said. In an interview with this newspaper on Wednesday, Cavileer said three medium-sized dogs had approached him during the cleanup, but while the animals did not attack him, they made him feel “very uncomfortable.” “I turned around and walked out,” he said. “I did not complain about it. I could have, but did not.” Florczak, at the time of the township committee meeting, said that one of the dogs, “Chloe,” is a comfort dog. “When he stops his car, he makes advances towards your dogs,” Florczak said to West. “What do you expect?” Mayor Dudley Lewis reminded Florczak at the time that the municipal dog ordinance requires that all dogs be on a leash, or within a fenced perimeter. “They can’t be off your property,” Lewis said. “They must be fenced or leashed.” The mayor advised West to call the township “dog catcher” if there is an issue, while Raymond advised West that he could sign a complaint to be heard in municipal court. During the June township committee meeting, Lewis said that the municipal code enforcement officer had been out to DeBow Lane a number of times and the dogs had not been seen running at large. However, at a July township committee meeting, it was noted that the township code enforcement officer had been summoned to

As commander of JBMDL and the 87th Air Base Wing, Gigliotti will provide installation support to more than 80 mission partners at the Department of Defense’s only tri-service joint base. She will also be responsible for providing mission-ready expeditionary Airmen and Sailors to combatant commanders in support of joint and coalition operations.

the street several more times since the June township committee meeting and had since witnessed dogs running loose on DeBow lane. “Mr. West continued to complain and the code enforcement officer went out several more times,” said Township Clerk Kathleen D. Hoffman. “The neighbor’s dogs were running loose and the code enforcement officer has video of the dogs running loose.” Lewis told this newspaper on Wednesday t hat a sum mons has now been issued regarding the matter. “Right now, it will be in municipal court,” he said. “The summons was for a violation of the dog leash ordinance. The dog has allegedly been on the loose, which is a counter of the ordinance.” West did not return a message seeking comment on this story. Attempts to locate a telephone number for Florcza k were unsuccessful as of press time. Also prompting concern in the community is the service being provided by the municipal trash hauler, Garden State Removal Company. “The trash collection has been horrendous,” said Deputy Mayor Paul Seybold. Committeeman C. Leigh Gadd Jr. said “it has been never ending problems” with Garden State Removal Company and recommended that the township committee go out to bid for a new trash hauler. Hof f m a n r epl ie d to G a dd t h at t he municipality is working on a bid. Lewis told this newspaper Wednesday that service troubles include “consistent” failure to pick up trash at certain residences, timeliness of collection and trash truck breakdowns. Issues with the trash hauler had been raised by Cavileer in 2017 and 2018.
