Stanfield Retiring as Burlco Sheriff, But Plans to Stay Active in GOP

Participants in Veterans Roundtable Launch Offensive to Make Former Freedom Fighters Aware of Benefits By Bill Bonvie Staff Writer

SOUTHAMPTON—Despite a plethora of programs designed to provide medical, financial psychological and moral support to America’s veterans, many thousands reportedly continue to suffer in silence, oblivious to the help that is readily available to them in dealing with problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder and other serious physical and mental illnesses, poverty and homelessness. Finding more effective ways to connect these beleaguered one-time defenders of freedom in the Burlington County area with various forms of assistance was the major objective of a Veterans Roundtable hosted by the Red Lion Diner in Southampton Township on Saturday, Feb. 23.

The event was attended by more than two dozen veterans of different branches of the U.S. Armed Services and their advocates in government and the private sector. “It is ever ybody’s job to get the information out to our brothers and sisters,” noted Bob Looby, past state commander of the American Legion and a representative of the State of New Jersey Veterans Services Council. Looby served as co-moderator for the event along with Rev. Floyd L. White III, pastor of the Woodland Ave. Presbyterian Church in Camden. The event began with a ceremony in which members of area veterans’ groups raised a brand-new American flag on the lawn of the popular eatery. The group

then assembled in a dining room for a complimentary luncheon and discussion of how physically and psychologically wounded warriors, or those who may have fallen on hard times, can be made more aware of the existence of programs specifically intended to make life somewhat easier for them. One particularly pervasive problem— t hat of homelessness a mong a rea veterans —was add ressed by Peter Wine, regional program manager for the Philadelphia-based nonprofit Veterans Multi-Service Center, the motto of which is “Serving those who served.” Wine, whose group works out of the county Human Services facility at 795 See COGNITION/ Page 10

Burlington County Sheriff Jean Stanfield

By Douglas Melegari Staff Writer

MOUNT HOLLY—Burlington County Sheriff Jean Stanfield, after having served six terms in office, says she is planning to relinquish her badge on May 1, although not her belief in the Republican party’s future “on the local level.” “Definitely behind the scenes, I do plan on staying active,” said Stanfield to the Pine Barrens Tribune this past week about her decision to retire. “I want to see the Republican party get strong again. I’ll be out knocking on doors, making phone calls. We are about good government and that is what we have been about for years, and that is what I want to maintain.” But as for leaving her law-enforcement role, she said politics had nothing to do with her decision to resign, which is for “purely personal” reasons based on what was “necessary for me, myself and my family.” “It just seemed to be the right time,” she said. “My family could use my help. We have a lot of little ones.” Stepping into Stanfield’s shoes in that job, at least temporarily, she said, will be Undersheriff Diane Jassmann, who she said started with her as an as intern in the department in 1996 and worked her way up to chief before assuming the duties of undersheriff. St an field said she is con fident that Jassmann is thoroughly familiar with all the responsibilities the job entails and can do it in the same way she has. See RETIRING/ Page 21

LOCAL NEWS

R. Marilyn Schmidt, Author of Books on Food and Folklore of Pine Barrens Who Restored Buzby’s, Dies at 89

By Bill Bonvie Staff Writer

CHATSWORTH—R. Marilyn Schmidt, the matriarch of the New Jersey Pine Barrens who authored a bevy of spiral-bound books on local folklore, customs and cuisine, and is credited with having rescued and restored the historic Chatsworth General Store, has left the scene to which she devoted so much of her life. Schmidt, who reportedly would have turned 90 on Saturday and had been in failing health for some years, died late Tuesday night at Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Pemberton after being admitted earlier in the day, according to Linda M. Stanton, founder and president of It’s a Sign of the Pines, a Pine Barrens cultural advocacy group. Stanton, in a Facebook posting, said it was “with a very heavy heart” that she shared the news of the passing of her “very dear friend,” which she had learned about in speaking with Schmidt’s niece, Beth Porter. Attempts to reach Stanton prior to this newspaper’s deadline time were unsuccessful. Schmidt, to whom Stanton referred as a ‘Pine Barrens Celebrity,” was renowned in these parts for her role in preserving the century-and-a-half-old general store (also known as “Buzby’s” after its original owners). The store is a landmark in this Woodland Township community that calls itself “the

Evesham Council Passes Resolution Backing Proposed Legislation Aimed at Keeping Teddy Bear Academy Open New Assembly Version of Bill Includes Amendments Approved in Senate, But Omits Howarth, Peters as Sponsors

By Mark Hatoff

preschool facility in Evesham. Council last Tuesday expressed their support through a resolution for Senate Bill 3300 that would change the state law Repollet on which based his decision. Additionally, the governing body, through the same resolution, supported Assembly Bill A5066 which also proposes a change in state law to legally permit facilities such as the TBA. The latter bill, however, is not the same one that was initially cosponsored by Howarth and Peters, which was Bill A4864. Besides giving preference to local children and those of district employees, requiring excess revenue to support the school district’s general fund, and setting standards for any child-care service used (as amended in the Senate version), the new bill is sponsored by Patricia Eagan Jones (D-NJ-5), rather than the two 8th District Republicans. The new version of the Assembly bill was brought to the attention of the Pine Barrens Tribune at deadline time on Thursday evening by Brian Woods, spokesman and chief of staff for Peters. It wasn’t clear, however, if the council members who voted for the resolution were aware that the two assemblymen from the district were not listed as sponsors of the latest Assembly version, and last-minute attempts to inquire were unsuccessful.

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

EVESHAM—The Democratic-controlled Evesham Township Council has officially come out in support of legislation that would allow Evesham Township School District’s popular preschool and day care facility Teddy Bear Academy (TBA), which had been ordered closed by the end of this school year, to remain permanently open. The legislative effort, however, has taken on a surprising twist, with a new version of the bill introduced in the state Assembly apparently the one now being considered, rather than the rendition originally introduced by 8th District Assemblymen Joseph Howarth and Ryan Peters. Interestingly, while incorporating amendments included in a version now moving through the Senate, the latest Assembly bill no longer lists Howarth and Peters as sponsors. The nearly five-year-old TBA, which is located at Marlton Middle School off Tomlinson Mill Road, has been operating under the threat of closure since October 2018, when State Education Commissioner Lamont O. Repollet concurred with Administrative Law Judge Solomon Metzger’s ruling that the facility had no legal standing to operate under state law. Repollet later gave the TBA a grace period to remain open until June. The judge’s decision came about as a result of a lawsuit filed against the district by competitor Under the Sun Learning Center, a privately-run

Evesham Council Authorizes Using Skilled Workers on As-Needed Basis By Mark Hatoff

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

EVESHAM—An initiative authorizing the hiring of temporary employees to perform repairs and construction work for Evesham Township’s Department of Public Works is finally a reality after being debated for a number of years among Evesham Township Council members. A resolution authorizing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Southern New Jersey Building and Construction Trades Council was passed unanimously by the municipal council at its Feb. 19 meeting. The resolution states that a labor force consisting of skilled workers from their respective building trade unions could perform specific tasks that would otherwise require existing staff to be pulled away from their normal duties or require the use of more expensive contractors. Council members were joyous about the resolution’s passage, especially Republicans Ken D’Andrea and Robert DiEnna. “Councilman DiEnna and I have been very supportive of this initiative previously,” said D’Andrea, noting that prior to the January reorganization with Democrats Mayor Jaclyn Veasy, Deputy Mayor Heather Cooper and Councilwoman Patricia Hansen being elected to the council, “we weren’t able to get enough support to move this forward.” “We are very appreciative,” D’Andrea said. “Does anybody have this on video? I want to check it later to make sure it is really happening. We will now be able to avail ourselves of the talents of hundreds, if not thousands of highly trained and skilled men and women that pay their mortgages, send their children to school,

buy their groceries and have an interesting source of income.” Hansen and Cooper also expressed their support for the resolution. “This is a great program and I am glad that the township is doing this,” Hansen said. “In my opinion, the union laborers are very dependable, skilled and experienced. I like that they go through an apprenticeship program while learning from people already there. They also have national workplace safety certificates for whatever their discipline.” Cooper concurred, saying that this is not going to be politics as usual. “We are working hard to bring in outsideof-the-box ideas that have bipartisan support and deliver cost savings and results to our residents,” Cooper said. “I am so proud of this initiative that will help our town and local workforce.” He also thanked the mayor for having backed the resolution and DiEnna “for his service to the unions and his perspective.” Following the meeting, DiEnna concurred, saying he was thankful that the council resolution did not revolve around politics. “It’s been years trying to get this on the agenda,” he said. “To some people, it’s a partisan issue. I am a labor guy, but being labor friendly and a Republican are not mutually exclusive. This issue has been discussed before, but there is now more of a balance on council for those who understand the labor dynamic. “We will have to see what projects we do, and we may ease into this with smaller jobs. But Burlington County already follows this plan, and our agreement is almost word for word (with theirs). This gives us more choice See WORKERS/ Page 13

LRHSD Board Offers Praise, Thanks to Retiring Member John Jeffers for 22 Years of Service to District

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

SHAMONG—With apparent reluctance, the Lenape Regional High School District (LRHSD) Board of Education accepted the resignation of its longtime Mount Laurel representative, John Jeffers, at its Feb. 20 meeting. The meeting was Jeffers’ final one as a board member after serving in that capacity for 22 years. Although LRHSD Superintendent Dr. Carol Birnbohm mentioned that she was forced to

cancel several presentations by Lenape High School students due to a wintry mix that fell that evening, the weather didn’t prevent Lenape Principal Tony Catani and others from letting Jeffers know how much his service to the district was valued. Praising Jeffers as a family man, a community man and a Lenape man, Catani told the retiring school board member how officials have loved his stories about parenting that he has shared at senior pinning ceremonies. Catani praised Jeffers’ calming influence and perspective. “Thanks for the 22 years of making us better,” Catani said. Birnbohm commented about Jeffers’ ability to connect with the community by relating a humorous anecdote. “The first time I saw you present in public was in the old auditorium at Lenape,” she told Jeffers.. “We were holding a series of community meetings to garner support for a large bond referendum, and it was filled with people who had opposing viewpoints. But you knew what was needed to break the ice and relate to the audience. “Your opening remarks went something like this, ‘Lenape is 50 years old, Lenape needs a new roof. I’m 50 years old, I need a new roof.’ It humanized you and the Board of Education, and Mount Laurel overwhelmingly supported that bond referendum.” John Comegno, of Comegno Law Group, solicitor for the board, characterized Jeffers as someone who is “forthright, sincere and dependable,” as well as “always focused,

GUEST COMMENTARY SOUND OFF Neighbors’ Fears of ‘Safe Haven for Healing’ Are Unfounded

I was deeply saddened and disappointed after reading the allegations in a Feb. 22 article “Center of Contention” about Solstice Counseling. While I understand and have been work i ng to add ress ou r neig hbors’ concerns over parking, the remainder of the allegations are not founded in fact and seek to diminish a place that is saving lives amid a growing drug epidemic. Solst ice is not t he chaot ic place described in the article; it is a center where people heal through holistic counseling in a peaceful environment. The people who come here are also mothers, fathers, children, and veterans of war who live and work in our community, and they are seeking a second chance. These are not people to fear or to disparage; they should be respected for their courage and

Michael Mandale supported on their road to recovery. We invite the local community to join us in fighting the stigma of addiction, a disease that has ravaged every part of our country, including Birmingham and its immediate neighbors. Please reach out to Solstice to schedule a tour if you would like to understand how we operate; I know it will help you see that we are a safe haven for healing, and not a place to fear. Michael Mandale, JD is the Chief Executive Officer of Solstice Counseling and Wellness Centers in New Jersey.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Addiction Facility Must Own Its Own Problems

I am a Republican Committee member for District 6 in Pemberton Township. I just moved here. I am appalled by Solstice’s lack of relationship building in the Birmingham neighborhood and misuse of its privileges afforded by the township. Solstice clearly does not care about its neighbors. The claim that addicts are not criminals is also ridiculously understated. The only reason for being in treatment is due to a criminal act. Drugs are illegal. It is not the

same as cancer. This is a great article that the Pine Barrens Tribune published (Birmingham Residents Demand New Addiction Facility Be Accountable for Alleged Surge in Neighborhood Police and Emergency Service Calls, Pine Barrens Tribune: Feb. 23, 2019), and I plan to join forces on the political front to require Solstice to own their problems.

Because of space limitations, letters should be 150 words or less. Due to the volume of letters received, we cannot guarantee every one will be printed.

Regrettably, a production error occurred last week after the editing of the newspaper had been completed. The many of you who read this newspaper cover-to-cover likely noticed the article titled “County Becomes 100th Entity to Sign Resolution Calling for Creation of 500 Miles of Circuit Trails by 2025” contained part of another story after its last paragraph. Additionally, a quote box (or pull-out quote) on page three contained an incorrect attribution. The quote, “We train firefighters, police officers, military personnel, recreational divers in this pool. To lose it would also put my business in jeopardy. So, I’m asking the freeholders to do the right thing, whatever they can, to keep this pool open." was stated by Gilbert Yeager, not Carol Melman. The attribution was correct in the body of the story. We spend more than 18 hours editing our newspaper, over two days, well beyond what most newspapers dedicate towards this process. So, it was beyond disappointing to see these mistakes in print. Our commitment to quality remains unchanged and we deeply regret the errors that appeared in last week’s newspaper. Rest assured many conversations have since been had over the issue. We thank you for your continued readership and opportunity to serve you.

(Re: Birmingham Residents Demand New Addiction Facility Be Accountable for Alleged Surge In Neighborhood Police And Emergency Service Calls) Wow! What an amazing read! I do not live in Birmingham, but I spent a lot of my younger days there at a ballfield, sand pit, penny candy store, and friends’ houses. I love that place. I would have loved to live there. I feel for everyone who lives there now. Pemberton Township never ceases to amaze me. I am not sure how many people live in the immediate area of this place, but by the number of people in this article that showed up at the council meeting, I would guess it is a large percentage of residents. They should have a say about what goes on in their town. I agree with Patrolman Perry Doyle. I would fear for my wife’s safety as well. I know that if she was coming home from the grocery store and hit someone who was looking to commit suicide it would change her life forever. She is nervous enough now with the mental-health rehab facility for violent patients that stealthily moved into our neighborhood. I wanted to sell a few extra tomatoes from my garden and was told I wasn’t allowed to do that. Maybe I should have applied for office space instead. ~Bob Fanucci

(Re: Birmingham Residents Demand New Addiction Facility Be Accountable for Alleged Surge In Neighborhood Police And Emergency Service Calls) I am a Birmingham resident, and my husband works in the addiction/ mental services field. His career includes having been a director in an inner-city clinic. As much as these services are needed in communities, the owner has not been honest and doesn’t have procedures in place as far as security and crisis management. They aren’t being conscientious in trying to ensure the safety and well-being of the community, as evidenced by the unsavory/unsafe activities taking place off property. The owner is trying to circumvent legalities. So, before anyone starts crying that we are against addiction services, look at it from our point of view. Driving down the road and having to worry about someone who throws themselves in front of your car, probable increased drug/ criminal activity, the destruction of wetlands and environmental issues (the overburdening of nearby residents’ wells) are legitimate concerns. If Solstice can’t operate this facility honestly, and in compliance with local and state regulations, then they need to move. ~Mary Anne

(Re: Lakes Council Passes Ordinance Restricting Sales of Dogs and Cats to Those From Shelters And Rescues) More nanny-state intrusion. ~Hank Ryt

(Re: Birmingham Residents Demand New Addiction Facility Be Accountable for Alleged Surge In Neighborhood Police And Emergency Service Calls)

(Re: Lakes Council Passes Ordinance Restricting Sales of Dogs and Cats To Those From Shelters And Rescues)

We live right next to a military base with an abundance of empty buildings. Why can’t the facility open there? They already have security gates.

That is really good news, but next we all need to monitor the rescues we choose. Unfortunately, some puppy mills hide behind the “rescue” name.

Students Help BMIA Collect Items for Troops Stationed Abroad

By Ebba Liguori

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

PE M BE RT ON —T h e B r ow n s M i l l s Improvement Association (BMIA) building was bustling with community spirit last Sunday, as students, residents and community groups participated in a variety of activities to serve the community as well as our overseas troops. First arrivals at the BMIA were a group of students from Pemberton Township High School Future Nurses program who were fulfilling their community service hours by helping with the Operation Yellow Ribbon collection efforts. In all, more than seven large boxes filled with toiletries and snacks, along with cards, for our troops stationed overseas were prepared and sealed for the journey. This annual community event has had groups busy collecting items to ship out for several weeks—a way to say “thank you for your service”— with last minute additions and boxes from other locations yet to be added. The BMIA will again sponsor this collection effort in 2020. The Pemberton Township Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) provided a most interesting program. Rich Shemelia, coordinator, presented the computer-assisted program with the aid of Janet Felt and Steven Domingue. Regina and Danny Ferrall also assisted with the presentation. The next CERT Course will be presented on the weekend of April 5, 6, and 7. The purpose of the program is to train individuals to become

responsible for emergency preparedness. Even if one never uses these skills as a volunteer, they can prove useful in personal emergencies. The level one program teaches “self-help,” which includes basic first aid, and fire safety. Participants will learn the best practices method for preparing a personal first-aid kit. Each family should have a three-day supply of emergency food available and other items in the event that a disaster strikes. Upon completion of the course, one may decide to take additional hours of training and become a volunteer. Every participant completing the course will receive a bag of supplies upon graduation that includes items such as a reflective vest, a hard hat, safety glasses, and a battery-powered flashlight. The CERT Course does not obligate one to become a volunteer, but allows each individual to be better prepared to care for one’s own needs, lessen dependence on others and take responsibility for oneself and one’s family. The Browns Mills Improvement Association meets on the fourth Sunday of each month at the BMIA Building on Arbutus Street, off Eldridge, near Mirror Lake Beach. The building is handicapped accessible and ample parking available. New members are always welcome. All residents of Pemberton Township are invited to join and become active in the BMIA, the oldest civic organization in town. Annual dues are only $15 per family. Checks may be sent to: BMIA, P.O.

The Connection Between Generosity andd Prosperity

Nursery Available for All Services

hroughout the Old Testament, the Israelites are told that if they keep the Law and follow God’s commandments, they will be prosperous. The Book of Joshua is clear on this connection: “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” (Joshua 1:8 NIV) The prophet Malachi tells the Israelites that they are robbing God when they fail to give the full tithe, and God promises to “open the fl floodgates l of heaven” if only the people will “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.” (Malachi 3:10 NIV) The promise which God makes is that our generosity will be repaid in full.

Jesus summarizes this eternal law of human nature: “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you.” (Luke 6:37-38 NIV) The apostle Paul reminds the Corinthians that stinginess and generosity have consequences as natural as the fruits which follow from their seeds: “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” (2 Corinthians 9:6 NIV) We should not, however, be generous as an insurance policy or an investment plan. Give from a pure motive to help others, and realize that the reward may be in a different coin, as it were. –Christopher Simon

PEMBERTON TWP. SENIOR CITIZEN COLUMN

Upgrade Gives ‘Powder Room’ Spiffy New Look at Senior Center By Ebba Liguori

For the Pine Barrens Tribune

PEMBERTON—If you haven’t been to the Pemberton Township Senior Center lately, you might be surprised to discover how much better things are starting to look, especially if you need to use the ‘powder room.’ As restroom upgrades go, in fact, it is nothing short of state of the art—all thanks to the skilled employees of the Pemberton Township Public Works Department, who have almost completed the first phase of a restroom renovation project. (Well, you know the old saying—ladies first!) That, incidentally, is no small matter,

requiring the entire lavatory to be rebuilt from the floor up, complete with tiling of the walls and the laying of a brand-new floor. The new ceramic tiles should make sanitizing and cleaning the facility a lot easier. New toilets and sinks are now also being installed, along with separation enclosures to assure privacy. One only needs to visit the Browns Mills Improvement Association (BMIA) building to see what wonders this Public Works team can accomplish, to say nothing of keeping many needed repairs and improvements from having to be outsourced at great additional cost to the township. That structure, which at one time was nothing more than a primitive

cinderblock recreation center, has become the Taj Mahal of the Pemberton Township Recreation Department. But having spiffy new washrooms is just one of the things that makes the senior center such a boon to our community and its older residents. Besides providing a safe, warm and friendly environment to gather, socialize and remain active, along with a caring and congenial staff, there are also the tasty and nutritious lunches. A reminder of how important those lunches have become to many local seniors was provided by the inclement weather on Feb. 20. While the morning snow that eventually changed to sleet and rain didn’t keep a lot of ‘hardy oldsters’

from trekking to the center in the morning as they usually do, where the dedicated staff had hot coffee and snacks awaiting them, it did keep the Burlington County Nutrition Program from making its rounds on that day, resulting in lunch being called off. This was disappointing news to the individuals who count on the prepared meals that are served at the center Mondays through Fridays, and who left for home earlier than usual looking for an alternative. Many just opened a can of soup and were thankful that it was easy to prepare. See SENIOR/ Page 22

COGNITION (Continued from Page 1)

Woodlane Rd. in Westampton, on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., noted that part of his organization’s mission is to make sure the experience of not having a roof over one’s head is “brief, avoidable and non-reoccurring.” He said carrying out that mission often involves tracking down those living in shelters and even going into the woods, walking trail lines and train tracks, to find them. The group also maintains a master list of homeless vets in every county in Southern New Jersey, and uses it to coordinate with other agencies to get them the assistance they need, he said. Veterans and their families who are on very low incomes and who have either become homeless or are in danger of losing their homes may be eligible for financial and rental assistance, including one security deposit every two years, once they enroll in the program, he explained. “Our big thing is, we don’t say ’no,’” Wine maintained. “We might say, ‘no, we don’t handle that’ —but I’m going to find out who does. That is what all our networking is about as well.” The Multi-Service Center, he pointed out, is also involved with the Veterans Justice Initiative, which he later told the Pine Barrens Tribune works with getting prosecutors’ offices to determine if there is a treatment option available for those who have been charged with nonviolent crimes, rather than incarcerating them. According to Looby, help is available even for those offenders among the ranks of former military personnel who are currently doing hard time. He told the gathering of the Veteran’s Services Council’s efforts to provide assistance to veterans who he estimated comprise from 8 to 10 percent of the current U.S. prison population. While confined individuals often don’t want to be recognized as veterans and can be reluctant to accept help on the group’s first visit, by the third they tend to welcome it, he said. The advantages of residing in New Jersey for former service members were discussed by Patty Richter, chief of the Veterans Benefits Bureau at the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. She handed out an 18-page guidebook issued by her department listing a host of benefits and resources the state offers to eligible veterans. The booklet’s topics run the gamut from the treatment of PTSD and substance abuse to suicide prevention to business and educational opportunities. Also included are death benefits, addresses, and contact numbers of various resources, as well as special privileges and tax exemptions available to disabled veterans. Among the specific benefits cited by Richter

WWW.PINEBARRENSTRIBUNE.COM as being offered to veterans in this area are state-of-the-art nursing homes, a state PTSD counseling program, special counselling for female veterans, a ‘catastrophic entitlement program,” and a transportation program that enables individuals to get to and from appointments. A grant has also been applied for to provide transportation on an emergency basis, she said. Richter also noted that the state offers a variety of medals for previous service, which are described in the guidebook, and that her office can help arrange awards ceremonies and make applications available for such affairs. White suggested that one such ceremony might be conducted in the parking lot of the Red Lion Diner when the weather gets warmer. “We’ve got enough rank in the room to make that happen,” he said. One particularly interesting topic that came up toward the end of the discussion, when participants were asked to name their most urgent concerns, was that of the Blue Water Navy Bill. Nelson L. Mellitz, of Cherry Hill, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel who serves as national quartermaster for the Jewish War Veterans, subsequently described this bill as being “one of the most important issues in the veterans community in the United States.” The legislation, which Mellitz noted has now been passed for the second time by the U.S. House of Representatives, would provide both treatment and compensation to Navy personnel who were exposed to the defoliant agent orange, despite never having set foot in Vietnam where it was used extensively by U.S. forces attempting to eliminate jungle hideouts used by the Viet Cong. The exposure to agent orange, which contains dioxin and is known to cause cancer as well as Parkinson’s disease and other health problems, was caused by having contaminated water brought aboard their ships, both for drinking and showering. The bill in question was originally passed last year by the then-Republican-controlled House. However, it was blocked from consideration in the Senate, based on an opinion by newly appointed Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie that not enough scientific evidence had been presented to justify its cost and the problems the Veterans Administration would have in implementing it, given its staffing shortages. That opinion prompted the then-ranking Democrat on the House Veterans Affairs Committee, Rep. Tim Walz of Minnesota, to issue a statement declaring that “our nation owes it to these veterans to get this done.” Walz then pledged “to continue to work with colleagues on both sides of the aisle” to make sure this legislation happens, even if we have to “drag the administration along, kicking and screaming, to do so.” Mellitz expressed confidence that legislation would now succeed, but urged those present to give it their full support. Also in attendance were newly elected

Burlington County Freeholder Felicia Hopson and Susan Pansius, director of constituencies for freshman Democratic Third Congressional District Rep. Andy Kim and liaison for veterans issues. Hopson is the county’s liaison to the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. Hopson has been assigned to represent the interests of an estimated 30,000 county veterans, a good many of whom don’t know where to go for services. Pansius explained how Kims’ successfully “getting a seat at the table” of the House Armed Services Committee was at the very top of his list of priorities upon arriving in Washington as a representative of the district that includes Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Recounting how Kim has credited military people with having saved his life under fire while serving as an adviser embedded with General David Petraeus in Afghanistan, Pansius noted that “when they were in problemsolving mode, they didn’t ask ‘do you have an R after your name or a D after your name.’” “It didn’t matter,” she said. “They (the military personnel in Afghanistan) had a common goal and worked together, which is how we approach our work in constituent services.” Pansius added that the congressman’s office will do its best to help all constituents equally with any problems, such as those encountered by veterans, which are handled “on the legislative side” by another aide who has served in the military. Looby poi nted out that despite the availability of so many programs and resources, “It’s going to take everybody in this room to get the word out.” Noting that he had just been told about a recent suicide in the county involving an individual who “didn’t know where to go for help,” he said that while “the information is out there” from a variety of sources, it all too often simply fails to reach those who need it most. According to Looby, that is due to the fact that many individuals simply aren’t paying attention to what they’re advised or “are asleep” upon leaving the military and don’t become subsequently connected to any of the veterans’ organizations that promote such awareness. “So many vets don’t have their 214s,” he said, referring to the certificates of discharge from active duty that are essential to become eligible for benefits. White concurred that once out of active duty, many veterans tend to tune such information out. He promised to help lead an effort to follow up on issues that impact veterans brought to light at the roundtable, proposing that subcommittees be formed to amplify the level of interest in them generated by the event and to provide valuable information. Looby expressed the hope that such subcommittees could bring the benefit of as much expertise as possible to the concerns that were raised. White said the idea for the roundtable

originated with Red Lion Diner co-owner Paul Tsiknakis, whose grandfather was a World War II veteran and Purple Heart recipient who served in Europe and North Africa. Tsiknakis interest was also inspired by similar events held in Camden County. “Paul contacted me to be the facilitator,” White said. “The event finally took shape after two planning meetings with members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Disabled American Veterans and representatives of the U.S. Marine Corps. For a first event, I’d say it was pretty successful. We had great content and attendance.” Tsiknakis said in a subsequent email to this newspaper that he believes roundtables like this one could help veterans become more aware of the benefits they can receive. “Whatever we do for the people who have served in our military is a very, very small gesture of appreciation that still is not enough,” Tsiknakis said. “My grandfather’s time in the service, and the sacrifices he made, brings this close to my family’s heart. I am so proud and honored to have been given his name ‘Paul.’” Tsiknakis also thanked White for organizing the event and added that the American flag will always fly high above the Red Lion Diner. “We are more than willing to help this group of veteran advocates with open arms in making further progress in their cause,” said Red Lion Diner Manager Kosta Linardos in a phone interview.

ACADEMY (Continued from Page 4)

Woods told this newspaper that the change was due to the TBA issue having been politicized. He claimed that aides of Addiego, who defected to the Democratic party in January, had worked with Democrats to draft a new bill to match the legislation Howarth and Peters co-sponsored so that the local Republicans “would be kicked off it.” “We asked to be co-sponsors and we were kind of denied as we received no response,” Woods said. “We obviously don’t have the majority to do ours now.” Woods and Peters told this newspaper on Thursday that a “very important” local issue “shouldn’t be politicized.” “Saving the Teddy Bear Academy has been a local issue for some time now, which families and faculty of the daycare are extremely passionate about,” Peters said. “Legislative action to keep the academy open was born in the 8th District and was only possible because of how vociferous the community was in its response to the state ruling to close it. They brought it to us and we listened. “While I find it unfortunate that it seems as if petty political games by my prior office mate in the Senate are being played to push me off the bill, I will continue to put my full support behind any legislation that would save the Teddy Bear Academy, regardless of whose name is on it. Again, at the end of the day, this bill belongs to the family and faculty of the academy.” Evesham Township Council’s resolution passed unanimously at council’s Feb. 19 meeting and was enthusiastically endorsed by Mayor Jaclyn Veasy. It stated that, if TBA is forced to close, it “will leave behind many children and families as well as impact our schools and communities.”

Senate Bill 3300 was unanimously approved on second reading by all 12 members of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee in a bipartisan vote taken on Feb. 7. The Assembly version, A5066, has been referred to that chamber’s Women and Children Committee. Evesham resident Nicole Buckley, who said she had placed her now seven-year-old son Steven in TBA at the age of three after having removed him from the Under the Sun facility, spoke passionately about the academy both during public comment and following the meeting. “Thank God Teddy Bear was there,” she said. Buckley explained that when he was older, Steven continued to be bused to Rice Elementary School from TBA because of his disability. “He was non-verbal and we went back and forth with a diagnosis,” she said. “(TBA Director Leah Perlmutter and her staff) didn’t care about any label or diagnosis and supported our family,” Buckley said. “The staff there would sit on the floor with us and help with Steven’s tantrums and crying.” As a result, Buckley said her son is now happily in inclusion as a result of the wonderful education system in Evesham and Teddy Bear Academy. “I’ve made the best friends I could ever make as a result of that program,” Buckley added. Buckley, in her public comments, also angrily criticized the lawsuit filed by Under the Sun that led to the closure order, which she called “frivolous” and “based on lies. “The letter that they are sending out as propaganda to their parents and township residents is disgusting,” said Buckley in an apparent reference to a letter addressed to “Under the Sun parents and staff,” which was posted on Facebook for a while before being taken down. The letter in question denounced the proposed legislation, claiming that it would “have a detrimental impact on all childcare facilities throughout New Jersey if it becomes law” and would mean that “any school district could open an unlicensed, unregulated and

uninspected for-profit childcare facility.” It also strongly encouraged parents to email or call “the sponsors of the legislation, whom it identified as state Sen. Troy Singleton (D-7th District), a cosponsor of the bill with Addiego, and Assemblywoman Patricia Jones (D-5th District), who is now listed as a current sponsor of the legislation. “The staff (at TBA) doesn’t need Masters Degrees in special education to know how to treat a child,” Buckley said. “It would be such a disservice to see us not slay Goliath in this situation because this program needs to operate, and anything council can do in Evesham would be appreciated.” Councilwoman Patricia Hansen and Deputy Mayor Heather Cooper were in full agreement with Buckley, indicating they considered the continued operation of TBA to be good business. “Based on the feedback of the parents and families who went to the Teddy Bear Academy, I think it totally fulfills the need of this area and other areas for affordable high-quality child care, while also earning revenue for the school district—especially now when future funding for our schools is being so dramatically

decreased,” Hansen said. Cooper said the municipal governing body can’t necessarily influence those (legislative) decisions, but it can show support to residents in the town. “As a mom, I completely understand why child care is so relevant for our success and ability to be working parents and to have a safe place for our children in the schools,” she said. Perlmutter, who also thanked the council for its support to her staff and families in her center, expressed confidence that TBA would be allowed to remain open past the June 30 closure deadline, which she noted would also be TBA’s fifth anniversary. “I’m confident it will be all wrapped up in the next couple months to allow us to stay open,” she said. “Right now, we have 57 kids enrolled and hope to get to 85. Our numbers are a little lower because we didn’t accept new families in the fall and other families left us to find other child care. We already have a waiting list of 15 made up of new families and those who left and want to come back.” Staff writers Douglas Melegari and Bill Bonvie also contributed to this story.

The Mouth:

Gateway to Your Health Baby Shark Teeth

It is common that our office will get a phone call from an understandably nervous mom or Dr. Richard dad concerned Weber that their five-orsix-year-old is having new teeth appear while baby teeth are still present! This phenomenon is called “shark teeth.” Shark teeth refers to two rows of teeth, the baby teeth (usually in the front) and the new adult teeth (typically behind the baby teeth). This happens when the roots of the baby teeth don’t dissolve at a normal rate and/or the adult teeth are displaced. It is estimated that 10 percent of newly erupting lower front teeth will have some degree of shark teeth.

Parents who observe this should not be overly concerned. Typically, junior will be able to gently wiggle the baby teeth and they will fall out within a normal time frame. If, however, the baby teeth are not

budging, sometimes the dentist needs to help them meet the tooth fairy. Typically, once the baby teeth are removed, they will not block the adult teeth, which can come into their normal position. If the adult teeth are pushed towards the tongue side because there is not enough room for them, it is a good idea to consult a dentist who has experience with children (a pediatric dentist or an orthodontist.) Like most things in dentistry “when in doubt, get checked out.” So, if you have any concerns about your baby having “shark teeth,” give us a call and we will be happy to assess the situation!

and flexibility. The beauty of it is, if we only need work for a day, that is all we pay. The workers will only get paid for the actual hours they work, and there will be no additional costs. This resolution will save us time, money and convenience.” In other business, council officially awarded a contract for the post of township solicitor to Primitivo J. Cruz of Capehart Scatchard. Cruz was appointed during council’s January reorganization meeting. Also approved was the appointment of Lewis Kipness as an Alternate 2 member to the Evesham Municipal Utilities Authority by a 4-1 vote. DiEnna cast the lone dissenting vote, mentioning that he had someone else in mind for the appointment. However, he did not mention a name. Among resolutions approved by consent agenda, council accepted improvements to Heritage Park, the Westerly Drive Tot Lot and Woodstream Park under a 2016 grant agreement for the Burlington County Municipal Park Development Program. “The tot lot is in my neighborhood,” Cooper said. “It has been long overdue for a rehab, and kids in my neighborhood are very excited to use that park. Thank you to the county for providing the funds.” Council also approved the awarding of a cleaning services contract for municipal properties to Occupational Training Center, which is based in Burlington Township. “This is near and dear to my heart,” said Cooper, pointing out that the organization is one that employs people with disabilities. As part of Black History Month, council issued a proclamation in recognition of Crystal Charley, President of the Southern Burlington County Chapter of the NAACP. The local chapter was founded in 1966. Reading from the proclamation, Veasy said that Charley was being honored for her proactive approach in building relationships with our Evesham Township Police and governing body through open communication and education awareness. “Nationally, our organization has been in existence for 110 years, and we’re very proud of the work we’ve done in that duration,” Charley said. “The Southern Burlington County branch set precedents for the law now known as the Mount Laurel Act in 1975 and we still go to court as plaintiffs in this case.” The act to which she referred, actually known as the Fair Housing Act, was enacted in response to two New Jersey Supreme Court decisions in 1975 and 1983 finding that municipal land-use regulations that prevented affordable housing opportunities for the poor were unconstitutional and ordering all New Jersey municipalities to plan and take affirmative actions to provide realistic opportunities for affordable housing to be

offered to residents with low-and moderateincome levels. The Mount Laurel Doctrine, which prohibits economic discrimination against the poor by the state and municipalities in the exercise of their land-use powers, was the first such policy of its type in the nation and is widely regarded as one of the most significant civil rights policies in the United States. “Tonight, means a lot to all of us,” Charley continued. “Civil rights are only known as civil rights in this nation. Anyplace else in the world, they’re known as human rights. Our founders represent diversity and inclusion, and it’s time that we all join together and continue to push the agenda of inclusion and move past the ideology of bigotry. We implore you to do right by one another and show the very best of humanity.” Cooper said that the more people can remember our “likeness versus our differences,” the more that people can do good governing, be good citizens and be good neighbors. “As a proud, black woman myself, raising children to embrace their culture and their heritage, it’s important that as I serve, I am able to emphasize the importance of Black History Month and all multicultural events that happen in our town,” she said.

Sarsaparilla Herb Good for More than Root Beer

owboys drank sarsaparilla soda in the Old West! It is because of this that when you first hear “sarsaparilla,” you might think of soda. Sarsaparilla comes from the roots of a woody vine called Smilax, which belongs to the Lily family. It is still used as a popular flavoring of cola and root beer in some countries. If you want to pronounce it out loud, just say “Sass-Parilla” to keep it easy. A nother cola flavor i ng— aside f rom sarsaparilla—was the coca leaf, which gives us cocaine. In 1885, Coca Cola was initially put into marketplaces with trace amounts of cocaine, about 1/400 of a grain of cocaine per ounce of flavoring syrup. Coke was not totally free of cocaine until 1929. That is how they got the name. It was named for its two medicinal ingredients, which were coca leaves and kola nuts. Sarsaparilla has nothing to do with cocaine. It is considered good liver support and helps protect the organ from damage. Liver: Your liver is under tremendous assault and works 24/7. It has to filter out the toxins from our environment and all the chemicals from the food you eat, as well as any medications, alcohol or nicotine. The liver is a detoxification organ, and sarsaparilla, can definitely help you. Several animal studies have shown that rats fed a diet containing sarsaparilla herb have significantly less damage to their liver as compared to control rodents. Skin: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, which can be very frustrating and painful. Irritated skin has a tendency to

get infected because it has lost its normal epider mal bar rier. Sarsaparilla reduces risk of these infections and improves the inflammation associated with the condition thanks to “astilbin,” a biologically active compound in sarsaparilla. People apply topical poultices, creams and salves, or take the herb internally. I write to millions of people a week, so be sure you check with someone in-the-know about your individual case before taking this, because I cannot medically advise. Some boomers will remember sarsaparilla soda, but it is not available in the U.S. anymore. The root beer or sodas that are still available do not contain actual sarsaparilla, only man-made flavorings that mimic the taste of the natural herb. The best way to take this herb is by tea, capsule, extract, cream or tincture. Sometimes, lower-quality formulas contain a completely different herb called “Indian Sarsaparilla” (from Hemidesmus). Indian Sarsaparilla is not related to true sarsaparilla, despite the similar name. So, look for “smilax” or “smilacaceae” as the genus name on the “Supplement Facts Box” or product label while shopping. There are very few reported side effects of sarsaparilla. However, that doesn’t mean there are none. They are just not reported. I think the most common reactions might be allergic ones, or perhaps indigestion, itchiness or rash.

It’s All in the Eyes of the Beholder

Every so often someone will ask how I come up with ideas of what to write about week after week. In short, it is a piece of cake. Take a recent incident, for instance, when our eldest and wise-cracking son sent me a text, asking us to join him and his friend at Lake Maloney. I was thrilled that he wanted to include us in his Saturday evening activities. “Whose house are you at?” I asked as I mulled over the prospect. “Oh, we’re not at a house. No sir. T-dod and I are sitting by a campfire.” I would go to the ends of the earth to accommodate our sons. I would scale tall mountains, take on worthy adversaries and have even been known to endure the back seat for the sake of familial bliss. However, I drew a line at the thought of sitting by a campfire on a 33 degree night. “I think we’ll pass,” I said as I shivered at the thought. “But hey! You kids have fun.” What I didn’t realize was that not only was my eldest son and his good old buddy, T-dod, enjoying their night at the lake, but that they had made themselves an investment of sorts. The way they saw it, they would be the envy of their friends, the talk of the town and your veritable go-to guys—for they had gone out and purchased themselves none other than a hillbilly camper. I will say it with you, “Oh no they didn’t!” Ya ya, they did. When I walked out and saw it adorning our driveway the next morning, I approached it with raw fear. Some desperate soul had taken a pickup camper and had the forethought to stick it on a flatbed trailer. For fun, this character had cut a hole in the side and stuck an air conditioner through its exterior. It even had a TV antenna that looked like a large metal bird had landed and, for a touch of decorative flair, he had taken the time to put a large decal of a six-point buck on the side. I say he, for a woman would have known better. “Ain’t it great?” T-dod asked with a big grin. “It has all of the bells and whistles.” “Yeah!” chimed in Vernon. “Some of them even work!” As a woman who raised four sons and saw them create makeshift tents with everything from a blanket over the coffee table, to a wood pallet in the lilac bushes, I thought I had seen it all. Although I truly would have loved to have been happy for Vernon and T-dod and their $200

purchase, I just wasn’t feeling it. In fact, as I walked into the dungy and oversized aluminum can, I closed my eyes for a moment and prayed, “Please God, never let my path of life lead me to a place where this is my home.” “Darest I ask where you plan to park it?” I asked. That was a question for all of the ages. For a beast such as this couldn’t sit just anywhere. Although, it could serve a purpose if you were in a situation where you wanted your property value and that of your neighbors to plummet. “We have land,” Vernon replied. “We thought we could just park it here on the old homestead.” “I just don’t think so,” said my beloved spouse who, up until that moment, had been quiet as he surely tried to take it all in. Good old Dad had spoken and the word was final. As I saw that hunk of junk being pulled out of the driveway on its homemade lead sled, my heart jumped for joy. In fact, I was thrilled right up until I went for a nice stroll the next week and saw that thing, in all its hillbilly glory, peek around the corner at the bottom of the draw. “Vernon!” I exclaimed into my cell phone only moments after the discovery. “Oh yeah!” he said as if he just now remembered that hideous thing was parked in our beautiful little stand of nature. “Turns out no one would let us park on their property either.” “And you think this spot is OK?” “Look at the bright side,” said Vernon in his usual and wise-cracking tone, “It will give you something to write about.” Well, at least I don’t have to make stuff up.

Editor’s Note: This is a rerun of a classic Lori Clinch column for those who may have missed it. 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?”

Here’s How It Works:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
