Tax-Levy-Cap Exception Could Allow Township to Stay Solvent for Years
By Bill Bonvie Staff Writer
A LASTING LEGACY J. Garfield DeMarco Served as Burlco GOP Boss For 16 Years, But His Unexpected Decision After Leaving That Position Will Continue Serving the Pinelands Long After His Passing By Bill Bonvie Staff Writer
M O U N T H O L LY— J. G a r f i el d D e M a r c o , t h e fo r m e r l o n g t i m e Bu rl ing ton Count y Republ ica n Committee chairman and large-scale Woodland Township cranberry grower who passed away in his sleep at 80 in Mount Holly Samaritan Hospice on May 12, might ordinarily have been remembered for just those distinctions. The fact that his legacy to the area is considered far more meaningful and lasting, however, is due to DeMarco’s havi ng gone about ever y t h i ng he did in ways that were anything but ordinary, defying not only convention, but conventiona l wisdom a nd t he conventional expectations of someone in his position. DeMarco, the man former Republican Gov. Thomas Kean once described as “the chairman of the chairmen,” seemed to contradict the cliché about people tending to become more conservative as they grow older—and confounded
those who put stock in it. T h a t t r a n sfo r m a t io n wa s b e s t demonst rated by h is having gone from being a leading opponent of the restrictions originally put in place to protect the Pinelands Preserve to selling 14 square miles of his family’s cranber r y bogs to the New Jersey Conservation Foundation in 2004 for $12 million—half of its market value— in a move he called one of his proudest achievements. “This rare ecological treasure — k n ow n a s t h e F r a n k l i n P a r k e r Preserve—is now preserved because of him,” said Michele S. Byers, the foundation’s executive director. The tract, which encompasses parts of Woodland, Tabernacle and Bass River townships, was described by Byers as having some of the most b e a ut i f u l wet la nd s i n t h e P i n e Barrens and providing critical habitat to more than 50 rare, threatened or endangered species. Then there was DeMarco’s political
t r a nsfor m at ion f rom a de d icat e d Republican leader, to a registered Independent, who ended up voting for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. He told an opinion writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer last December, in an interview at his home in Hammonton, that he found an “undercurrent of racism” in GOP support for President Donald J. Trump (whose adviser, Kellyanne Conway, was DeMarco’s cousin). Accord i ng to a st atement f rom his family that was released to the media by his aunt, Barbara DeMarco, of Ha m monton, when J. Ga r f ield DeMarco was asked why he had quit the GOP, “he would simply say ‘The Republican Party of today has no place for men like me.’” On a more personal note was his decision to “come out” as a gay man in 2015 by marrying a partner whom he had met at an AIDS fundraiser in Philadelphia 20 years previously.

BASS RIVER—In a last-ditch effort to avert a looming financial crisis, the Bass River Township Board of Commissioners on May 6 introduced a 2019 municipal budget that would take advantage of an exception to the state’s two-percent tax-levy cap to raise local property taxes by about $210 per $100,000 in assessed value. Dealing with the fiscal problems facing the local elementa r y school, however, may eventually call for a different sort of solution involving consolidation with another municipality, as later became evident at the same meeting (a separate issue). In a report on the town’s dire financial status, Township Auditor Kevin Frenia explained how the cap on taxation, which was imposed on state municipalities by the New Jersey Legislature back in 2010, has gradually eroded revenue sources for many smaller communities such as Bass River. According to Frenia, however, by utilizing a provision in the tax-levy-cap law that allows a municipality to pay off its current debt all at once—which in Bass River’s case, amounts to approximately $350,000—the township could resolve the its financial problems on both a short-and long-term basis. Taking that step, as he explained to the Pine Barrens Tribune, would not only permit local property taxes to be raised well beyond the law’s two percent limit, but allow that much higher taxation figure to become its new permanent tax-levy base. Such an arrangement, he said, would enable the township to continue to remain solvent for the foreseeable future, providing enough cash on hand to finance any immediate need that might arise, such as a new fire engine. But that might not be welcome news to local property owners, who would see their current bill of $164 on a $100,000 assessment more than double to $374—what Frenia characterized as a “significant tax increase.” The total proposed budget of $2,108,150, as compared to total general appropriations for See TAX / Page 12

Special Crews Arrive from Oklahoma to Repair Fort Dix Radar After Failure
By Douglas D. Melegari
Miketta described in a Tuesday interview with this newspaper that the bull gear is one of the most difficult parts to replace inside the Doppler radar’s dome, which is commonly described as a golf ball by meteorologists due to its white, spherical appearance. “They are going to have to lift the 4,000 lb. radar dish assembly off its pedestal inside the dome, leaving about two feet of space for the crews to work, to switch out the bull gear with a new one,” he said. “That the furthest they can lift it inside the dome—and someone will have to crawl underneath the raised radar dish to put the new gear in.” The warning coordination meteorologist added that specially designed hydraulic jacks will be used inside the dome in order to lift the radar dish off its pedestal. “There is a very short clearance between the top of the radar dish and dome,” Miketta said. “So, two feet is about the maximum clearance available between the lifted radar dish and the bull gear that turns it. They then have to clean out all of the metal shavings from the worn bull gear before replacing it with the new one.” Miketta described to this newspaper that removing the dome, or the outside covering for the radar and its parts, is not a viable option at this time to make the repair, as disassembling it requires an exterior crane and even more work. “What they will be doing now is a fairly involved process,” he said. “Basically, they
Staff Writer
WHITING—A special team, comprising of a half-dozen technicians from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Radar Operations Center in Norman, Okla., arrived near the edge of Brendan T. Byrne State Forest Wednesday to begin repairing the National Weather Service’s Fort Dix Doppler radar after it suffered a “significant equipment failure” earlier this month. T he W h it i ng-based rada r, wh ich is primarily relied upon by the National Weather Service to warn of severe weather impacting the Delaware Valley, and utilized by several weather forecasting agencies throughout the region, “stopped working altogether” on May 1, according to National Weather Service Mount Holly/Philadelphia Warning Coordination Meteorologist Joe Miketta. Prior to May 1, he said the radar had been experiencing intermittent outages. “The bull gear wore out,” he said. “Basically, when that part wore out, the radar could not turn anymore. “When the bull gear starts to go, it is like a car, there can be a lot of different things that begin to not run right. So, you fix one thing, and it works for a little while, and then eventually it wears out so much it stops working altogether. It takes time to diagnose these things.”
have to lift the radar dish off the pedestal, repair the gear underneath it, and put the radar dish back down. It can take a week to do this.” It is currently estimated that the repair won’t be completed until May 23 or May 24. Miketta recalled Tuesday only two other times in the last two decades that the radar was down for such an extended period of time. One such occasion occurred in 2007, and it was for exactly the same reason. “When they did this repair back in 2007, they lifted the pedestal off the bull gear, and there was only a small space to get in and fix it,” Miketta said. “There were six or seven people who came to work on it, the same number of people who arrived Wednesday to make this repair.” The area, while repairs are being made to the Fort Dix radar, has not been left without radar coverage, though Miketta told this newspaper that “obviously, it would be good to have the Fort Dix radar working” and that the radar is “essential to its operations.” “There are places that weather can be better seen with the Fort Dix radar due to the curvature of the Earth,” he said.

Carranza Road in Tabernacle Township.
By Mark Hatoff Staff Writer
TABERNACLE—Long-awaited repaving of Carranza Road in Tabernacle Township has begun, representing a start on what local officials are hoping will be a more extensive resurfacing project on the treacherous thoroughfare that also runs through Shamong and Washington townships, though the latter municipality has decided not to partake in the improvement project for now. Tabernacle Township Engineer Dante Guzzi had made an announcement at an April 29 meeting of the Tabernacle Township Committee that the first phase of the Carranza Road resurfacing project was due to begin this week. A contract to repave Carranza Road, from Tuckerton Road South to near Moores Meadow Road (covering about 3,000 feet), as well as Powell Place Road, was awarded at the Tabernacle governing body’s Oct. 22, 2018 meeting to Arawak Paving for $826,900. Part of this cost will be paid for by a previously awarded $245,000 New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) grant to Tabernacle Township for Carranza Road. Guzzi, in his recent announcement, said that the repaving of Powell Place Road will immediately follow the Carranza Road resurfacing work. The township is still waiting to see if its joint grant application with neighboring Shamong Township—for additional funds to improve more of Carranza Road—will be approved by the NJDOT. Guzzi had submitted the grant applications for both Tabernacle and Shamong, which would extend the Carranza Road paving to where the thoroughfare becomes a dirt road in Shamong, near the dormant Blue Comet line railroad tracks. Washington Township declined to become part of the joint effort to have the road improved, with its mayor, Dudley Lewis, citing a limited number of Washington residents who would benefit from the repaving. Carranza Road, from Tuckerton Road South into Shamong Township, is known to locals as a treacherous thoroughfare, with sections of widespread potholes and ruts. “As everyone knows, half of that road belongs to Shamong Township and we’re in the process of scheduling a meeting with them,” said Tabernacle Mayor Joseph Barton. “The goal is for us to pay for half of the repaving and for Shamong to pay for half; or have the state give us a grant to cover the majority of that road. In good faith, we have gone forward and we are

paving the first section of road, on both sides of the road.” In 2018, when Shamong and Tabernacle had agreed to join together to fix its respective stretches of Carranza Road, representatives from both towns met with 9th District state Sen. Chris Connors (R-9th District) and the then staff of 8th District state Sen. Dawn Marie Addiego (prior to her switching allegiance to the Democratic party) in May. At that time, the two senators were said to have agreed to support any joint applications to repave the road. In other business, the Tabernacle Township Committee passed an ordinance on second reading to repeal and replace a section of township code entitled “Public Functions and Similar Uses of Public Places.” The revised regulations, originally introduced by the Tabernacle governing body on March 25, are designed to ensure the protection of public safety and the full preparedness of the Tabernacle Township Department of Public Works and Tabernacle Township Emergency Services during special events. The new ordinance now requires event organizers to obtain a special event permit prior to holding an event expected to have 250 people or more participate. Organizers of functions such as funerals, weddings and educational activities would be exempt from having to get such a permit. The cost to file an application, to obtain the special event permit, is $75. An event management plan must be submitted with an application in order to receive a permit from the Office of Emergency Management. In response to a question from Fran Brooks, Tabernacle Emergency Management Coordinator Robert Sunbury said that road mark-out specifications for special events held on roadways throughout the municipality, including ones outlining that the mark outs should be bio-degradable and not permanent, would be listed on the application. The Tabernacle Township Committee also introduced an ordinance on first reading that would establish the position of a certified parttime fire inspector for Tabernacle. A public hearing on the proposed ordinance is scheduled for May 28. The committee also approved a change order to a contract with MiBo Construction Company for a municipal salt shed entranceway replacement project, which consists of replacing and/or repairing rotted framing and sheathing discovered during demolition of the entranceway. The change order added $5,501 to the revised contract for a total of $44,926.

Tabernacle Committee Postpones Vehicle Weight Limit Increase Vote Due to Concerns, New Information By Mark Hatoff Staff Writer
TABERNACLE—A proposed ordinance, which would increase the maximum permitted gross registered weight of vehicles and tractors parked within any residential area of Tabernacle Township from 12,000 pounds to 17,500 pounds, is no closer to being passed in Tabernacle Township. The drafted measure, which would exclude farms from its provisions, has now been tabled for a second time, following lengthy Tabernacle Township Committee and public discussion about it on April 29. The proposed ordinance was originally introduced on Feb. 25 and it was considered by the township committee for final passage on March 25. However, the proposed law has been met with a mixed bag of opposition, with some residents stating that the greater weight limit will invite more commercial activity in residential areas, while others says its detail could end up resulting in stricter regulations that will potentially harm those who store their vehicles in residential areas, particularly ones for commercial use. The proposed law was later retooled at an April 8 township committee-workshop meeting, after being tabled on March 25 due to the opposition. Residents continued to disapprove of the draft legislation at the April 29 township committee meeting, despite the proposal being retooled. “I think that the underlining current causing residents to speak out here today, and at the other meetings, is not necessarily related to the weight of vehicles, but is the result of

people running commercial businesses out of their houses to excess,” said Committeeman Stephen V. Lee IV. “From my perspective, we have to be a little active in managing commercial businesses being run out of residential neighborhoods.” The township committee, in the wake of the opposition expressed in March, asked Tabernacle Zoning and Code Enforcement Officer Thomas Boyd to review similar regulations in surrounding municipalities. He reported on his findings during the April 29 meeting, summarized below: • In Bass River, Southampton, Washington and Woodland townships, there are no vehicle weight limit restrictions; • In Medford, there are currently no weight limit restrictions, but its council is discussing the issue. Currently, one commercial vehicle per residence is allowed for residential parking; • Shamong allows vehicles to be stored in residential areas for commercial purposes only, with a maximum permitted gross registered weight of up to 8,000 pounds; • Waterford Township allows vehicles to be stored in residential areas with a maximum permitted gross registered weight of up to 19,000 pounds; • In Evesham Township, vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of over 8,000 pounds are excluded from a number of streets, except for the pickup and delivery of materials on those streets. The township also excludes the parking of vehicles with a gross weight See POSTPONES/ Page 23

Veterans Topic of Conversation at Evesham Council Meeting By Mark Hatoff Staff Writer
EVESHAM—Appointments have been made to the newly-created Evesham Township Disability and Veterans Advisory Board. Mayor Jaclyn Veasy made the appointments to the board, which is designed to explore expanding services to military residents and those with disabilities, during Evesham Township Council’s May 7 meeting. Veasy, who will also serve as council liaison to the Disability and Veterans Advisory Board, appointed Chris Nigro, Daniel NelsonRembellas, Christopher St. John, Robert Graziosi, Erin Sappio, Ken Mills, Chris Webb, Eugenia Drobit, Jeffrey Shapiro, Nicole Buckley, Rose Lynch and Jimmy Witowski to serve on it. “I am excited for the advisory board and the expansion of resources that we can bring to our town,” said Deputy Mayor Heather Cooper. “It is great that our town can make use of the services available at the state and county level without the use of any taxpayer money. Cooper used the occasion to also thank Councilman and veteran Bob DiEnna for his service to the U.S. “As someone whose father served quite a bit of time in the U.S. Armed Services, the values that being in the military provides has lasted with me a long time,” Cooper said. Veterans clearly took center stage at this meeting as Veasy also issued a proclamation for National Military Appreciation Month. “We wanted to honor those here (in the meeting room of the Evesham Township Municipal Complex) and everyone in Evesham who served, or are currently serving in the military,” said Veasy, who invited every veteran present for the meeting to join her and
be recognized in front of the dais. Those recognized for their service by Veasy included Jack, her father; DiEnna and Evesham Director of Finance and Deputy Township Manager Tom Shanahan. An invited guest, William McDonell, of the Department of Military and Veteran Affairs in Burlington County, also spoke during the proceedings about veteran benefits, stressing that all veterans are entitled to health care coverage through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which he added covers the full cost of eyeglasses and hearing aids. “Many veterans may not know of the benefits they and their spouses can receive,” he said. “You may not know that there is a VA clinic in Marlton, on Lincoln Drive behind the AMC Theatre, and a state veteran’s office in Mount Holly. I encourage all non-veterans to also spread the word to veterans about the benefits that they can receive.” A number of other proclamations were issued by Veasy at the latest council meeting, including two that recognized local volunteers of cancer research organizations Relay For Life and Metavivors of New Jersey. Representatives of the Marlton Relay for Life chapter, while receiving the special recognition, spoke about its upcoming 11th annual relay, which will be held on June 1 at Cherokee High School from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. The Marlton event, which celebrates cancer survivors, raises funds for research and provides information on cancer diagnosis and treatments, has raised over $1 million in its history. Representatives of Metavivors of New Jersey, which provides metastatic breast cancer research, support and awareness, explained See VETERANS/ Page 14

Washington Twp. Limits Fee Hikes for Liquor Permits to Every 4 Years By Bill Bonvie Staff Writer
WASHINGTON—The business of selling alcoholic beverages in Washington Township is about to become a bit more financially predictable. An ordinance amending the existing law governing such sales, which was passed by the township committee at its regular meeting on May 7, will freeze the cost of an alcoholic beverage license to a set fee for four years at a time, after which it will be increased by 20 percent. Up to now, the fee, which is currently at $1,045, has been subject to annual increases. But complaints about those fee hikes from two local establishments, a tavern and a package store, resulted in the schedule being revised, according to Mayor Dudley Lewis. The change was scheduled to go into effect 20 days after the adoption of the ordinance. The committee also passed resolutions authorizing the repaving of River Road during the summer, funded by a New Jersey Department of Transportation grant, and appointing Denise Schneid as zoning officer and David Simpson as code enforcement officer, effective June. 1. Other business covered in a relatively uneventful meeting included the introduction of a revised salary ordinance for municipal employees. The new pay scale would be retroactive from Jan. 1, and was estimated by the mayor as being about 20 percent higher than last year’s pay scale. Also approved were parade permits for the Pine Barrens Adventure Camp to hold an event on June 1 and 2 and a Jeep Jamboree planned for Nov. 1 and 2.

(Re: Howarth Aligns Himself with Trump Pitches Loyalty Pledge to GOP Rivals in Primary Race for Assembly Seats) Don’t be fooled! Assemblyman Joe Howarth is no “MAGA” candidate. Have you seen a single message of support for President Donald J. Trump come from Howarth before he lost the county line? ~Jonathan Daverso
(Re: Corrected Ballots Go To 451 Voters in Southampton) Whoa, that is a lot of votes! Who will be checking all of the mail-in ballots to make sure votes aren’t counted twice, or that they didn’t count the incorrect ballots? ~Barbara Somes
(Re: Beach Drive and Chippewa Trail Still the Site Of ‘Terrible’ Issues Due to Construction Project) What does closing a road for roadwork, and the reaction to it, possibly have to do with being a liberal or a conservative? I know plenty of “Crybaby Conservatives” and “Stoic Liberals.” Certainly, people will always complain no matter what action government entities take, but it is not always about ideology, just human nature. ~Dwayne Bailey

EDITORIAL Loyalty-Pledge Episode a Fitting Reflection on Character of Both Peters and Howarth Loyalty can take many forms – to one’s country, one’s family or clan, a friend, an employer, a religion, a cause or a political party—and can be expressed in a variety of ways. But it is also something that has to be actually felt, and to genuinely come from the heart. If it isn’t —well then, it’s really nothing more than an imitation emotion. That is why the idea of trying to coerce someone into signing a loyalty pledge seems pointless. Unless it’s something an individual genuinely desires to do, getting them to put their signature on such a document would merely represent an artificial allegiance. It is a lso why P resident Joh n F. Kennedy, in a letter to an education journal, once referred to the business of requiring students receiving financial aid to take loyalty oaths to the country as ‘”distasteful” and “humiliating.” JFK, of course, knew something about loyalty, having already demonstrated his own to his country by risking – and nearly losing–his life in the Second World War as commander of PT 109 (not to mention having shown his loyalty to a badly injured member of his crew by towing him to the safety of an island during a four-hour swim with a bad back). 8th District Assemblyman Ryan Peters

is another individual who has proven his loyalty to the United States by putting his life on the line in combat, in his case while participating in multiple missions in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL. That is why it is so inappropriate that anyone should be demanding that Peters now sign a loyalty pledge to President Donald Trump, a Commander in Chief who has never had his own loyalty to the country tested in battle, unlike Peters. What makes this episode even more absurd is that the person insisting that Peters sign such a pledge is none other than his former partner, Assemblyman Joe Howarth. Having been renounced by the County Republican Committee for reportedly attempting to defect to the Democrats, as did his colleague, Sen. Dawn Marie Addiego, Howarth has now suddenly reinvented himself on the June 4 primary ballot as an acolyte of Trump. A fter requesting, in a letter also emailed to media, that Peters sign and return to him a pledge of support for the president, Howarth informed his onetime running mate that “only by doing so will any doubts about your support for our president and his mission to ‘Make America Great Again’ be put to rest.” (Howarth also sent a copy of that pledge to the candidate replacing him on the main
GOP ticket, now retired County Sheriff Jean Stanfield, an admirer of Peters who had also said she was turned off by the president’s name calling). Howarth was referring to Peters having criticized Trump in a Facebook posting back in January for undermining civility in Washington, D.C. and having said he didn’t blame a Democratic congresswoman who made an obscene remark about Trump, as she was only following the path of a president who constantly assigned insulting names to people. Peters quite properly declined to sign any such insulting pledge, saying his military combat record was all the proof he needed to show his loyalty to the Constitution and the Commander in Chief. Then, too by sticking with his party during a time when its popularity has been diminishing in South Jersey, even while challenging the conduct of its current leader, Peters has not only again proven his penchant for authentic loyalty, but that he is also something relatively rare in these times— a principled politician. H owa r t h a l s o a p p e a r s t o h ave demonst r at e d somet h i ng— t hat t he Burlington County Republican Committee, whatever the legitimacy of its claims that he tried and failed to desert the party, may well have been right to write him off.

What about the men who walk in front of my house every day with the bright outstanding red colors of the Bloods gang?

COMMUNITY PEMBERTON TWP. SENIOR CITIZEN COLUMN
Seniors Visit Dutch Country’s Premier Food, Entertainment Destination By Ebba Liguori For the Pine Barrens Tribune PEMBERTON—Some 92 seniors from Pemberton Township visited Amish Country, in Lancaster County, to start off the month of May. In fact, there were so many seniors who choose to participate in this latest excursion, two tour buses were reserved and utilized, which were driven by Marty Gravenstein and Gordon Goldberg. One of the most famous restaurants of Amish Country, Shady Maple Smorgasbord in East Earl, served as the senior’s first stop. The restaurant can seat more than 1,000 people at a time. The Pemberton group was seated comfortably near the restaurant’s buffet and soon all had plates of delicious food to enjoy. The buffet set up is about 200 feet long and has an abundance of choices. It is difficult to decide which foods to try first. There were more than six different soups to choose from, all hot, fresh and packed with both ingredients and flavor. In addition to the usual carving stations, the chefs were cooking porterhouse and T-bone steaks to order.
All of the seniors were pleased that the steaks were prepared to perfection and so very tender. A fresh oven broiled cod filet was also flavorful and easy to eat. There were many desserts to complete the meal. Whenever traveling near Morgantown, Shady Maple is a perfect location to stop and have a meal. The Saturday prior to Mother’s Day is one of the busiest days of the year for the restaurant as many families take mom out to eat, receiving a potted plant as a gift. On the Saturday before Father’s Day, all dads receive a large-sized candy bar as a gift. The buffet is closed on Sundays, so one must celebrate during the week. Keep this location in mind if you plan a trip. After eating lunch, the seniors shopped at a gift shop and Farmer’s Market, also part of the restaurant. Many seniors purchased live plants, including flowers and vegetable plants. The plants were very healthy and not too expensive at the time of purchase. Even the bus drivers purchased plants to take home. After the dining and shopping experience, the
seniors went to American Music Theatre to attend an original show, “Ovation.” Music has the power to lift up and transform us in many positive ways. This show featured the AMT orchestra which performed a variety of music through the ages. Even though there were only ten musicians, it sounded as if an entire symphony orchestra was on stage. The cast of singers and dancers included eleven performers. Each musician played multiple instruments and moved seamlessly from one to another. Many of the seniors who participated in the trip were impressed with the talents of a female violinist, especially as she moved through leading solo parts for most selections. Each instrument and musician were featured at some point with a solo part. There was also music of many types and time periods. Some favorites included “It Don’t Mean a Thing” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” from the 1940s. There was also a “Piano Duel” featuring the conductor, Andy Roberts, and Assistant Music Director Aaron Trasatt. The duel really showed off both pianists’ musical ability as they countered each other’s musical
medley in most unusual ways. Just watching them “duel” was exciting! Each competing musical phrase was more difficult than the previous. Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony was rendered in a “rock style,” which portrayed Beethoven in a much different light than we are accustomed to. “Bohemian Rhapsody” concluded the first act and brought the audience to their feet. The second act included favorites such as “Bolero,” “Phantom of the Opera” and “Rhapsody in Blue.” The singers and dancers added to the enjoyment as they interpreted the music. The costuming and staging added final effects to make the entire performance spectacular. This show was very different from the usual presentations, and well worth attending. At its conclusion, the audience gave the cast of “Ovation” a standing ovation. The seniors will be returning to both the American Music Theatre and Shady Maple on Nov. 6. A “Joy to the World” Christmas Show will be featured. Tickets will go on sale during September and are sure to sell out quickly.

“And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.” 2 Timothy 2:24-26 NIV
T
he two fundamental moral forces at work in the world are love and strife. Love nurtures and comforts us while strife depletes and annoys us. Love unites us while strife divides us. Love is the spirit of reconciliation and patient, unselfish endurance that allows us to get along with our fellow man, while strife is the spirit of struggle and selfish egoism that creates divisions among us. And while it is true that God is love, and that love is associated with virtue and holiness while strife tends toward vice and sin, the truth is more complicated. After all, God uses strife to help us grow and develop. The patriarchs of the Bible all encountered strife in their

lives. The Israelites were enslaved, driven from their homeland, and forced to live in the desert. Jacob literally wrestled with God, and was renamed Israel after this struggle, a name which means “he who strives with God.” Perhaps the ideal way to think about the twin forces of love and strife is that love is the force that allows us to prevail when we strive. Love is usually the best way to settle strife; we don’t overcome hatred by hating, but by love. We know we will be challenged in our lives, and how much better to meet the myriad challenges of life than to know that we are loved, and loved unconditionally. ~Christopher Simon

LEGACY
(Continued from Page 1) “As he aged, his views and positions went from right of center to left of center,” said the family in the statement. A closer examination of his background a nd th ings he revealed about h imself, however, may offer clues as to how that transformation ultimately came about. First there was his Quaker religious heritage. “He took great pride in the fact that his mother’s family, the Alloways, were Quakers who settled in New Jersey in the mid to late 1700s,” that statement noted. J. Garfield DeMarco, who was a star football player in high school, was also exceptionally accomplished academically, g raduat i ng cu m laude wit h honors from Dartmouth College, where he was selected as a member of Phi Beta Kappa, a nd subsequently awa rded a Fulbr ight Scholarship to study medieval history at the University of Naples, Italy. He then went on to graduate from Yale Law School, where his classmates included some prominent Democratic political figures—including former California Governor Jerry Brown, former United States Senator Gary Hart and delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives Eleanor Holmes Norton. The upbringing undoubtedly played a role in his transformation of his political views as well. J. Garfield DeMarco, according to the interview he gave Inquirer opinion writer Kevin Riordan, was influenced by his father, a cranberry farmer and one-time Republican who switched his allegiance to the Democrats and whose sympathies were with the underdog. As a young man, he was also often privy to dinner-table talk by local politicians who talked about their constituents having to go without basic necessities. When his father, a founding member of
Saturday, May 18, 2019
WWW.PINEBARRENSTRIBUNE.COM the Ocean Spray Farmers’ Cooperative died in a New Year’s Eve auto accident in 1964, J. Garfield DeMarco was left to assume responsibility for the family cranber ry business, rather than going into the practice of law. He also replaced his father on the Ocean Spray Board of Directors, serving there until 2004 when he sold the family farm, one of five top producers for Ocean Spray, to the Conservation Foundation. O r ig i na l ly a D emo c rat , J. Ga r f ield D eMa rco sw it che d pa r t y a f f i l iat ion s and entered into the political arena with encouragement from the late New Jersey Republican Congressman Edwin Forsythe of Moorestown, a Quaker and a conservationist for whom the Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge is named. J. Garfield DeMarco was chosen Burlington County GOP Chairman in 1974 and served in that post for the next 16 years, later characterizing himself as a “lefty Republican” who managed to both steer the party on a middle-of-the-road course and keep its incumbents from losing elections. According to his family’s statement, J. Garfield DeMarco had an unparalleled sphere of influence over the politics of South Jersey during this time, with an ability to raise money at elegant dinners, at Le Bec Fin in Philadelphia, that enabled him to fund elections not only in Burlington County but in other key races in the state. An idea of the practical, well-informed and conscientious approach J. Garfield DeMarco took to issues affecting constituents was provided to the Pine Barrens Tribune in a phone interview this past week with Robert C. Shinn Jr., former 8th legislative Dist r ict Assemblyma n, Bu rl ington County Freeholder and Depa r tment of Environmental Protection Commissioner under Gov. Christie Whitman. Shinn, had first encountered J. Garfield DeMarco as a formidable tackle when his high school football team played opposite
Hammonton High. But Shinn really got to know him years later after he became mayor of Hainesport. That, he said, was when he discovered from a newspaper article that he had been nominated for freeholder, even though he wasn’t running, only to be told by DeMarco that the county committee had decided he would be the best candidate and that he needed to get a resume together. “After winning that race, everything I did while on the freeholder board I vetted with Garfield,” Shinn said. “We developed a pretty good relationship over the years, and I always was able to get his ear on controversial issues. I’d lay out what my issue was and get cross-examined by Garfield, because he was trained as an attorney. But he was just trying to find out all sides of the issue.” J. Garfield DeMarco, according to Shinn, was never one to make a snap decision, but would call him back two or three times to determine what the most practical solution might be, without regard to the politics involved. “The reason I gained such high respect for him was that he always came down on the side of what ought to be done to solve the problem in the best way possible,” Shinn asserted. What also impressed Shinn was J. Garfield DeMarco’s wealth of historical knowledge. “Every time you had a long meeting with Garfield, you would end up talking about history or the Roman Empire,” Shinn said. “He was an amazing guy, and my relationship with him was the best part of my nine years as a freeholder.” According to the statement from his family, J. Garfield DeMarco’s knowledge of history was also demonstrated by “the way he loved to research his ancestry.” He would often spend “days upon days charting his lineage” and was also a collector of antiquities, art and manuscripts. Evidence of his interest in local history can be found at the Woodland Township

Municipal Building, on the land which he and his siblings donated. The building, which was constructed with materials indigenous to the geographic area, was largely financed through multiple donations from J. Garfield DeMarco and his family. Inside the building, there is a priceless gallery of photos, detailing the people and history of Chatsworth and the many towns and ghost towns of the Pine Barrens. In 1995, the building was dedicated to J. Garfield DeMarco’s parents, Anthony R. and Gladys DeMarco, whose photo, framed by cranberry vines, stands on a steel post in front of the entrance. “ G a r f i e l d w a s a l a r g e r- t h a n - l i f e personality who cared deeply for the legacy of his parents and grandparents,” noted Byers in her tribute. “He once told me that his father had an almost mystical attachment to the land and loved nature. New Jersey Conservation Foundation is honored to have preserved the land in partnership with him and to have named a restored marsh in honor of the DeMarco family. “He will be missed,” she added. Despite his having eventually left the GOP, which he characterized as having been a different party in his day and one that no longer had a place for him, a tribute to J. Garfield DeMarco was issued this past week by current Burlington County Republican Committee Chairman Sean Earlen. J. Garfield DeMarco, Earlen declared, “dedicated much of his life to public service and building a strong Republican party in Burlington County.” “He spearheaded the proud tradition that we continue to this day of running diverse candidates who bring unique perspectives to the table,” Earlen said. “On behalf of the entire Burlington County Republican Committee, I extend our deepest sympathies to Garfield’s family and friends and thank him for his commitment to public service.”

Five Reasons You Should Take Selenium The Greek word “Selene” stands for moon, and that is where the trace mineral selenium gets its name. The most interesting part about the trace mineral is that it sometimes is used in dyes and paints to color items red. Plants growing on Earth absorb selenium into their roots, after obtaining it from the soil. It is then put into the food chain, and we obtain it through diet. Selenomethionine is a high-quality form of selenium that is also the main form of trace mineral in Brazilian nuts, cereal grains and soybeans. Why would you want to have more selenium in your body? The main reason would be its powerful antioxidant properties. It helps neutralize free radicals by making two special detoxification enzymes: Catalase and Glutathione. Both of these enzymes are major players in terms of detoxification. You would die within minutes without them. There are five other mind-blowing reasons you should consider selenium: Selenium Helps with Breast Cancer: Aside from selenium being a strong antioxidant, which is useful in combating cancer, there is new research published this month in the journal, Nutrients which indicates that it is capable of alleviating lymphedema, commonly associated with breast cancer. Lymphedema simply refers to swelling that occurs in the arms and legs. 75 percent of participants showed lymphedema improvement in just two weeks. Selenium Helps with the Brain: The ability to neutralize oxidants, which attack the brain, helps reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Several selenium-derived proteins, termed “selenoproteins,” are expressed in the brain. We also know that both detoxification enzymes, glutathione and catalase are present in glial cells. Glial cells feed and protect nerve cells. Selenium is needed to keep those glial cells healthy.
Suzy Cohen AMERICA’S PHARMACIST
Selenium Helps Control Hemochromatosis: Hemochromatosis, a genetic condition resulting in the overload of iron, is sometimes misdiagnosed and inadequately treated. Iron concentrations were slightly higher (up to two and a half times higher) in selenium deficient rodents. The “Transferrin Saturation” with iron was almost twice as high in selenium deficient rodents, compared to those with normal levels of selenium. Selenium Helps Make Thyroid Hormone: Selenium has been shown in several clinical trials over the past few decades to slow the progression, and reduce symptoms, of thyroid illness. It is needed for the enzymes that convert inactive thyroxine T4 to biologically active T3. It also needed to reduce TPO antibodies. Also, selenium might help with Graves’ Disease eye problems, known as orbitopathy. Selenium for PCOS: Selenium has insulin-like properties, which means it can help with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). An April article published in Molecules Journal suggests that it may also help with insulin resistance.

TAX
(Continued from Page 1) 2018 of $1,620,060, will have a public hearing next month. Frenia noted that for the last few years the township has been managing to chug along financially by using such strategies as deferring school taxes by collecting them six months ahead of when they are due and putting them into the fund balance. “But that well has about run dry,” he said. Likewise, a one-time sale of land that temporarily allowed local government to balance its books was no longer an option, he added, and other miscellaneous revenues are minimal. “Quite frankly, we’re broke,” Frenia declared. “We don’t have any additional revenue sources. ... We desperately need to raise revenues, and the state isn’t helping us out any.” The auditor said he had therefore arrived at the recommendation that the municipal debt of about $350,000 be paid off this year, allowing for the tax levy to be raised above the twopercent cap as the only remaining means of funding the budget. “I think that will pretty much provide us a solution for the next five to six to seven years,” he maintained. “So, this is a one-time increase.” The reason the payment can’t be divided over a couple of years, he said, is that if half is made this year and half next year, the township won’t be able to lock in the proposed new tax-levybase figure. Noting t hat Woodla nd Townsh ip is contemplating a similar solution, Frenia contended that “all of the Pinelands communities just simply don’t have any more revenue. “I spoke with the state and spoke with a lot of my colleagues to try to come up with a different solution other than raising rates,” he told those in attendance. “But this is really the only solution that we can find. ... I think once we do this, we won’t have to go back to the well again.” If it gets approval, Frenia added, he doesn’t foresee any further significant tax increases for the foreseeable future. The proposal, he readily acknowledged, “is kind of a bitter pill to swallow.” “But we can’t in good conscience wait till next year because we simply won’t have enough money to fund the budget and no way to do it,” Frenia said. The township’s spending, he pointed out, has been very conservative, with no money wasted and no areas that could really be cut. In fact, expenditures have actually gone down, he said, and the total amount allocated really hadn’t increased in three or four years. “When this initiative (the two-percent cap) went into effect, we had a reasonably healthy amount of fund balance,” Frenia explained. “But we had a very trim budget to begin with— we didn’t have monies that we could cut out and still survive. This thing was coming—we just didn’t know when it was going to hit.” Chief Financial Officer Albert Stanley concurred with Frenia’s analysis of the township’s financial condition. Even proceeds from traffic court have decreased substantially, Stanley said, with many previous fines having now been taken off the books. “Our revenue sources are 500 property owners—that is it,” he said. “We don’t have other sources.” When asked by one resident “What happens when people start moving?” Frenia responded, “I don’t know.” A question later posed this newspaper as to what would result were the budget plan to be rejected elicited a similar reply. “I don’t know what the alternative would be,” Frenia said. However, the township auditor suggested that the municipality could be faced with having to declare bankruptcy, in which case the state would take over, sending in its own

Frenia, did mention, however that Bass River officials are still planning to apply to the state for some additional aid. “But that comes with a lot of different strings attached,” he added. “I’m not superconfident we’re going to qualify for it, since it usually goes to the Newarks, the Camdens, and the Trentons. But I think we should go through the process.” Frenia also reminded those present of Mayor Deborah Buzby-Cope’s direct appeal to Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy about restoring some of the revenues cut from the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) program, in which the state offers compensation to communities to offset the loss of revenues from land taken for preservation purposes, which has been cut back in recent years. But the mayor indicated she was no longer certain the administration realized the importance of that program to communities such as Bass River, more than 50 percent of which currently consists of land acquired by the state. “All of our towns are taking care of stateowned lands and are not being reimbursed,” she said. Buzby-Cope noted that she had felt confident of getting such aid after her talk with the governor, but in a subsequent conversation, Democratic State Senate President Stephen Sweeney had told her to “forget it.” The same applied to possible revenues from another program involving energy credits, which the township had been hoping to take advantage of, she added. Resident Carol Bitzberger asked about the possibility of a re-evaluation to make sure everyone is paying their fair share. “A re-evaluation doesn’t solve the problem— it splits up the pie differently,” Frenia replied. “You are going to need the same amount of money over the tax base of Bass River. But it would more equitably distribute it, certainly.” Stanley, however pointed out that such a move “could have a negative connotation for this town and would destroy us even more,” especially when residents start appealing the results. “It doesn’t really do you any good other than it more equitably spreads the burden,” he said. Bitzberger also claimed that “you do have a company in this town that is way underassessed,” apparently referring to Bass River’s one sizable industry, Viking Yachts. Bitzberger maintained that the subject had been brought up many times, and while the firm had been re-assessed to some degree and it’s taxes had been raised, “it’s nowhere near what it should be assessed at.” During a public commentary period later on, however, the mayor noted that according to the tax assessor, Viking had already been reassessed and was paying the amount of taxes it had been assigned. “If we lose them, you might as well burn your house down,” Buzby-Cope remarked. Buzby-Cope further noted that she had just returned from a mayors’ conference where the shortage of funds was a “hot topic.” “They just keep telling us that the state is broke, and they want to consolidate everything,” she said. “This governor wants to consolidate schools, he wants to consolidate police departments, fire companies, all in small towns.” The possibility of such a consolidation, in fact, was the subject broached by the next speaker, township Elementary School Super intendent and P r incipal Siobhan Grayson, who noted that the problems facing her school mirrored those of the municipal government, due to state aid to schools having been substantially reduced after budgets throughout New Jersey’s school districts had been approved. That reduction in school aid, she said, amounted to an approximate $30,000 loss, and is expected to continue over the next few years, with the Bass River Township School District
ultimately facing an estimated $200,000 reduction in funding. In addition, the local elementary school student population is currently down to 104, as compared to 126 in 2012, 36 of whom fall in the special education category, although the aid for such students, she pointed out, is a flat percentage, rather than being dependent on their actual number. As a result, the problem “isn’t just planning, but finishing out this school year above water,” she said. Looking ahead to next year, she continued, there will have to be cuts made in non-essential personnel, as well as other areas like supplies, at a level that enables the school to continue operating and serving the community. Current economy measures also involve using a preschool teacher to help with special education, as well as other teachers who are dual-certified and have multiple capabilities, she added. But if aid isn’t forthcoming from the state, Grayson said, that will mean an additional burden on taxpayers. “Everything that is required and mandated that we have, we are doing on the bare bones,” was how she put it. All those factors combined, she said, are why a conversation about consolidation with another district needs to get started—even though the local school has continued to benefit from shared services with neighboring Little Egg Harbor Township.
“Quite frankly, we’re broke. We don’t have any additional revenue sources. ... We desperately need to raise revenues, and the state isn’t helping us out any.” ~ Township Auditor Kevin Frenia
But simply moving to the nearest district isn’t necessarily the answer, she said, which is why guidance is needed from both the county and the state. “If they close the school down, where would our children go and how much would that cost?” one resident asked. “We are already paying through the nose to send our kids to Pinelands.” Buzby-Cope responded that she believed the county would make that decision, but indicated there are several possible locales to which local elementary students might be transferred, ranging from Little Egg Harbor to Chatsworth Elementary Schools. When asked if there was now a consolidation plan being considered, Grayson replied that the district is currently in a “super-preliminary” stage of discussion, and anticipates continuing to operate next year. During the public comment period that followed, local business owner Leo Assur asked what was being done to encourage people to start up home businesses in town, and suggested that certain properties on the Route 9 corridor in New Gretna could be fixed up for that purpose. Local resident Kevin Foder suggested that getting the Pinelands Commission’s permission to extend sewer and water lines down Route 9 from Little Egg Harbor could be very helpful in bringing that about. Foder also asked whether Bass River Township could simply cut its losses by moving into Ocean County. In other business, the board passed a resolution approving a New Jersey Department of Transportation plan to install a temporary portable traffic signal on Route 9 near the Jobs Creek Bridge replacement project. The commissioners also passed a resolution congratulating the Forsythe Wildlife Refuge on its 80th anniversary. Refuge Manager Virginia Rettig, who was present, thanked the board for the recognition.

Recipes, tips and ideas for well-done backyard barbecues! A night of al fresco dining next to a grill in the backyard can be a great way to spend an evening. Nearly any type of food can be grilled, and steaks tend to be especially good when cooked over an open flame. The following recipe for “Grilled Rib-Eye Steaks with Mushroom-Shallot Butter” from Laurie McNamara’s “Simple Scratch” (Avery) is sure to please, especially when coupled with McNamara’s recipe for “Baked Beans,” a must-have staple for any backyard barbecue.
Grilled Rib-Eye Steaks with MushroomShallot Butter Serves 4 to 6
Grill steak and serve with classic baked beans
8 t ablespoons (1 stick) plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature ½ cup sliced shallot 1 h eaping cup sliced cremini mushrooms 2 large cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed ¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, plus more as needed 4 to 6 steaks (such as rib-eye, New York strip or porterhouse)

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and cook until golden and slightly crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shallot to a clean plate. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until the mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the shallot and let cool. In a small bowl, use a rubber spatula to blend the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter with the cooled mushroom mixture until combined. Place the butter in the center of a piece of parchment paper. Bring the edges together and press with your fingers to form the butter into a log. Roll and twist the ends before popping the butter into the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Set the steaks on the counter for 30 minutes to bring them up to room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high or about 400 F. Season both sides of the steaks with 2 pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Grill each steak for 6 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and the desired doneness. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the mushroom butter into coins and top each of the steaks with two coins before serving.
Baked Beans Serves 10
2 1 5-ounce cans navy beans, drained and rinsed 4 slices applewood- or pecan woodsmoked bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 cup diced yellow onion 1½ cups ketchup ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses ½ cup packed dark brown sugar 1¼ teaspoons ground mustard 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine the bacon and onion in a medium Dutch oven. Slowly cook over medium heat until the onion is tender and the bacon is cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, molasses, sugar, ground mustard, ground cloves, and 1 cup water to combine. Add the cooked beans and pour the mixture into the pot with the bacon and onion. Stir, cover and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Add the salt and stir. Uncover and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

5 Ways to Add Some Sizzle to Burgers 1 Savory Stuffings Place an ounce of your favorite cheese like mozzarella, blue or pepper jack into the center of the raw burger patty, folding the sides up and over the cheese. You can also fill the center with a mixture of cream cheese and bacon bits or chopped jalapenos, or opt for a soft garlicherb cheese.
2 Better Buns Sub a pretzel, brioche or onion roll for your usual burger bun, or use naan flatbread instead. Think outside the bun entirely with a paleo-friendly handheld lettuce wrap. Feeling decadent? Place your patty in a sliced glazed donut!
3 Flavorful Rubs Rub a spice mixture on each side of the burger just before grilling to create a savory crust. Grind a classic blend of black pepper,koshersalt,garlicflakes,chileflakesandonionflakes, or opt for something more exotic like an Indian masala blend.
4 Beefed-Up Patties Try adding a splash of milk to the beef or a pat of butter (or herb butter) to each patty for moisture. Experiment with mixins like soy sauce, Worcestershire, horseradish or finely diced mushrooms, onions or garlic.
5 Tasty Toppings Consider swapping the usual ketchup and mustard for salsa, Russian dressing, barbecue sauce, sriracha mayo, steak sauce or even Thai-style peanut sauce. Experiment with toppings like fried egg, chiles, avocado, pesto, hummus or grilled pineapple.

FAILURE
(Continued from Page 3) the state), Eastern Pennsylvania (except its far northeast corner) and Delaware, has a second radar in its territory, located south of Dover, Del., that it has been relying on during the outage. Additionally, there are several major airports in the area with terminal Doppler radars, which the agency has access to. “We are lucky because we have another radar in our service area, WSR 88-D, associated with the Dover Air Force Base,” he said. “That radar is located in Sussex County, Del., and we have it at our disposal, at all times. There is also the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) terminal Doppler radar in Camden County (for Philadelphia International Airport) that we have access to. Then we have the other National Weather Service radars around us. We can still see things (precipitation and storms) and we are able to continue to operate.” As an added precaution since the Fort Dix radar went offline, Miketta said the agency has been using a total observation concept to make severe weather-warning decisions. “We know when a storm is moving into our county warning area (counties in which the office forecasts and warns for), whether it is moving into an environment where it is going to decrease or increase in intensity,” he said. “We also have a lot of other tools in our arsenal that we can use, including the new weather satellite launched in 2016 known as GOES-EAST.” Occasionally, the Delaware-based radar has also failed. Miketta said that if both radars should fail simultaneously, the agency is prepared to use National Weather Service radars positioned further away by running their long-range mode applications, which can detect precipitation outwards of to up to 200 miles. “If that happens, we are not running totally blind,” Miketta said. “The benefit of living in

The Fort Dix Doppler radar’s bull gear being repaired by technicians from NOAA’s Radar Operations Center in 2007, after the radar’s pedestal was raised two feet. the Northeast is that we have active airports and they have radars we have access to, including Newark (NJ) and Dulles (northern VA). These radars can be used. We have other radars that we can use to fill in the gaps.” In Puerto Rico, after Hurricane Maria devasted the island in 2017 and destroyed two Doppler radars, one belonging to the National Weather Service and the other belonging to the FAA, the Department of Defense deployed two, temporary mobile short-range radars until permanent ones were repaired.
Miketta said deploying temporary mobile short-range radars is unnecessary in this local case because of the adjoining radars which fill in the gaps in coverage due to the Fort Dix radar failure. The warning coordination meteorologist noted that the Fort Dix radar, put in operation in 1993, has aged to the point where it will require more extensive repairs next year. He said the radar will go down for scheduled maintenance in March, for “about two or three weeks,” as part of the agency’s Service Life
Extension Program (SLEP). He noted that the bull gear will not be replaced again, but other parts will be, and the dome will be removed for the repair of the other parts. “The radar has been in operation for 25 years and it is aging,” he said. “We need to maintain the parts to keep it running. A radar has mechanical devices which do break down every once in a while. It is like a washing machine, it works for a time, but there are moving parts that eventually wear out and cause it to stop working until those parts are replaced.”

during their recognition that metastatic breast cancer is one that has spread beyond the breast to vital organs. It is different from a regular breast cancer diagnosis because once the cancer spreads outside the breast tissue, it becomes a terminal disease. A c c o r d i n g t o t h e o r g a n i z a t i o n’s representatives, each year, 200,000 Americans are diagnosed with breast cancer and 30 percent of those people will become Stage IV metastatic. Representatives from Metavivors of New Jersey also noted that five percent of all cancer research dollars goes towards metastatic breast cancer research and the organization is looking for increased funding. An additional proclamation at the meeting was given to the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Burlington County, which operates out of Rowan College at Burlington County (RCBC) in Mount Laurel. RSVP Volunteer Coordinator Kelly Ott explained that the Burlington County group has existed since 1971 and is one of the nation’s largest senior volunteer organizations, having served more than 15,000 hours last year among its 184 volunteers, age 55 and older. She said that the program’s volunteer opportunities include, but are not limited to: tutoring, tax counseling, state health insurance assistance counseling, teaching of healthrelated courses, serving on advisory councils, providing services to seniors and assisting individuals in organizing their bills. The final proclamation awarded at the meeting honored Township Clerk Mary Lou Bergh and Deputy Township Clerk Rebecca Andrews as part of the 50th Annual Municipal Clerks’ Week from May 5 to May 11. In other meeting business, council passed a number of resolutions by unanimous consent agenda, including one that awarded an engineering services contract as part of Evesham’s 2019 Road Program to Remington & Vernick Engineers in an amount not to exceed $257,230. Most of the road work scheduled involves the repaving of Lakeside Drive, Pleasantview Circle, Fairhill Court, Laura Lane, Kendall Court, Leavering Mill Lane, Kennerly Court, Foxwood Lane, Foxwood Court, Shady Lane, Shady Court, Barton Run (Northbound), Southbound Tuckerton Road (to Lakeside Drive), Meeting Lane (Marlton Pike to Cyder Court) and Troth Road (EvesboroMedford Road to Old Marlton Pike). Council also awarded another professional engineering and construction contract to Remington & Vernick for $40,500 related to the resurfacing of Lincoln Drive. The entire estimated cost of the Lincoln Drive project is $300,000, of which $267,000 would be paid by a New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) state aid grant. Another consent resolution awarded a $19,216 contract to Landberg Construction LLC for drainage improvements to Lakeshore Drive
and Bass Road. Two ordinances were introduced. One would establish vendor fees for a new farmers’ market that is scheduled to open on the second and fourth Wednesdays, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. each month, beginning on June 12 at the Marlton Green Shopping Center. The other ordinance would authorize the execution of an amended lease agreement between Evesham Township and Sharpco Management for a portion of township property at 100 Sharp Rd., which would upgrade and expand the township’s public works facility. Second readings and public hearings on these ordinances are scheduled to take place on June 3. Several reports of interest were offered by the township’s professionals and officials during the May meeting. Township Manager Michael Barth reported that Heritage Park, a playground off of Caldwell Avenue, is now open. Director of Community Development Nancy Jamanow said that rumble strips were added at Barton Run Boulevard, and flashing speed limit signs will be coming soon. Monica Vandenberg, director of Public Affairs and Senior Services and deputy township manager for Evesham, reported that a Taste of Evesham event is scheduled to be held on Main Street during May 19 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. She added that Marlton Day is scheduled for June 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., also on Main Street. Also announced during the meeting was that ribbon cuttings for grand openings in town took place for Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey (RMA) at the old Olga’s Diner site on May 9; Bella Café at the Shoppes of Elmwood on May 11; and Tesla Superchargers at The Promenade, also on May 11. Superchargers are high-speed, higher voltage chargers for the electric drive Tesla cars. The chargers can only currently charge Tesla vehicles; the company is building out its own network of charging stations around the country. Also during the meeting, Zachary Amiss and Carley Szwajkowski, both 21 years old, were sworn in by Veasy as patrolmen to the Evesham Police Department. The new officers were presented by Evesham Police Chief Christopher Chew. During public comment, Evesham resident Evan Scott asked about memorializing former longtime Evesham Mayor Randy Brown, who served as mayor from 2007 to 2018. “Love him or hate him, I think that Brown did a tremendous amount of good for the town and I think that most people, who I interact with in town, identify the Diamonds at Arrowhead Park Baseball Complex with him,” Scott said. “One of Brown’s first actions when he took office was to memorialize this room here to late Mayor Gus Tamburro, (who passed away at age 81 on April 9). I think that going forward, we should dedicate Arrowhead to Mayor Brown.” The meeting was the first to be live streamed on the Evesham Township website. Links to each recorded meeting will stay on the website for one year.

THE HOBBYIST
Pine Barrens Tribune
♦ Page 15
Who’s Really Grabbing the Popcorn? One night, our four sons, when they were younger and still lived at home, decided to play a trick on their dear old Dad. In fact, they plotted and they chuckled at the prospect. Being their mother, and as such, one who should not be involved, I observed from afar. I could have stopped the shenanigans, to be sure. But coming from a long line of practical jokers, I just did not want to. They knew their loving father was looking forward to the NBA playoffs. They knew that he would slip into his favorite NBA shirt, kick off his shoes and prepare himself for an evening of hoops. They also knew that when the program went to a commercial break, dear old Dad would leave his comfy recliner and head to the kitchen for a snack. When he did, those mischievous sons of ours crept in and swiped his remote. They then made their way out our patio door where they had a front row seat to watch and wait. They were nothing if not patient, as any and all wise practical jokers will advise. They would lay in wait, in the shadows, until their dearly beloved Dad returned to his chair with a bowl of popcorn and an ice-cold beverage. They didn’t do anything just yet, no sir, they waited until dear old Dad sat down, engaged the footrest and brought the bowl of popcorn to rest on his lap for easy access. Then, and only then, they changed his channel, via his own remote, to the Lifetime channel. Now, we all love the Lifetime channel and watch it from time to time. After all, everyone loves a good story about a single woman who moves to a small town, only to be shunned before she finds herself in the arms of a lumberjack who does not care about what the locals think. But it was the NBA playoffs, and to quote my Pat at that moment, “Come on, man!” Pat looked around for his remote and when he could not locate it, he sat down his popcorn bowl, climbed out of his recliner and walked to the TV to change the channel. With his playoff game back on the tube, Pat headed back to his chair, put up the foot rest, picked up his popcorn bowl and settled in for his game, not knowing that those four rascally boys of his were chuckling in the shadows with his remote and about to hit him again.
Lori Clinch COLUMNIST
I could have put a halt to the tomfoolery; I know that. It just seemed like a lot more fun to watch it unfold. When those sons of ours switched the playoff game again to “Gilligan’s Island,” a show that I know by heart, but Pat loathes, he came out of his chair and began to wonder if his lost remote was somewhere in the cushions and if he was somehow changing the channel every time he settled in his chair. He then began to do a thorough search of his recliner. He looked around the seat, tipped it over and then all but lifted it over his head to give it a shake. It might sound desperate, I know, but his playoff game was on and his popcorn was fresh. This time he marched back to the TV, changed the doggone channel and not wanting to take any chances, he sat down in my recliner and when he did, the channel switched to none other than the “Teletubbies.” “Lo-Ray!” Pat exclaimed as he always does in the rare moments that he is upset. “Something is messing with our TV!” “How do you know?” I asked with faux innocence upon entering the room. “Because,” he said as he pointed to Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po, “Do you really think I am sitting here watching this by choice?” “Well,” I replied as I began to laugh uncontrollably, “I sure hope not.” I knew it was time to give up the gig. I turned on the patio light, opened the door, and in doing so, exposed all four pranksters, crouched down with the remote and laughing harder than I was. They let the poor man watch the game and did not play another trick on him until the following year, when they took the remote to his garage door opener. 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?”

CROSSWORD & SUDOKU ANSWERS ON PAGE 18 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!

POSTPONE (Continued from Page 5)
exceeding 10,000 pounds on any road between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. • Mount Laurel does not allow any vehicles to be parked in a residential area if they weigh over 8,000 pounds, between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. “We just heard that most other townships are not close to the weight limit we are proposing,” said Tabernacle resident Lyle Manheimer. “I fail to understand why we need to go to 17,500 pounds, which would be above any other township in the area.” Manheimer added that he did not want a big vehicle parked across the street from his house because of a home business. “I think you people are entering dangerous territory here,” he said. “I think it is unjust to most of the residents in Tabernacle to raise the vehicle weight limit to 17,500 pounds.” Tabernacle Resident John Yelito questioned whether such a weight limit change would permit commercial trailers in Tabernacle that can be hooked up to trucks. “If they don’t fit in the driveway, people park them on the street,” he said. “That is a visual impact to people driving up and down the street. Little kids can walk up behind that trailer (unseen) and get hit by a car.” However, Taber nacle resident M i ke Callaghan, who noted that he parks two commercial trucks in his driveway, said the vehicles “have bothered nobody.” “I have never parked them on the street and never had a complaint,” he said. “I cannot see
why you are writing this ordinance the way you are. I can understand big trailers being restricted. But with having two commercial trucks, I don’t understand why we’re trying to be that specific. You’re stymying people who want to work. We have to be fair.” I n addition to the cont roversy over Tabernacle’s proposed ordinance, the process involved in passing it has also come under fire. “I stand incredulous over how you’ve handled this issue,” said Tabernacle resident Fran Brooks. “You hastily conducted a first reading. You are now conducting a second reading and have had residents come in to make valuable comments. Now you have Mr. Boyd coming in with a wealth of information. This all should have been processed before you conducted a first reading on this ordinance.” After the Tabernacle Township Committee agreed to table the ordinance on April 29, Tabernacle Township Solicitor Peter C. Lange Jr. said that he would take committee and public input into account, including a suggestion also made for there to be an exception in the ordinance for emergency vehicles, such as ambulances and fire trucks, and revise the proposed ordinance. It was mentioned that the Tabernacle Township Committee would have to readvertise another hearing on the ordinance at a later date. The ordinance, as drafted at the latest Tabernacle Township Committee meeting and presented in a meeting packet distributed to residents, mentions that the Tabernacle code enforcement officer recommended to the committee that the vehicle weight limit be increased for those parked within a residential area.
