The Mt. Laurel School Districtis crediting anti-bullying pro-grams and positive student cul-ture in a reduction of bullying in-cidents during the first half of2014.

From January through June,the school district reported just 12incidents of violence, vandalism,bullying and weapons offenses.The number is a decrease from 19incidents in the same period dur-ing 2013.

Much of the reduction camefrom a large decrease in harass-ment, intimidation and bullying.The district had only eight con-firmed HIB cases in the first halfof 2014 compared to 16 in 2013.Superintendent Antoinette Rathattributed some of the reductionto the schools anti-bullying pro-grams and activities.

The following information was providedby the Mt. Laurel Police Department.

Mt. Laurel Police arrested a 32-year-oldwoman, of the unit block of CypressStreet, Swedesboro, on Oct. 24 at 12:28 p.m.She was arrested after police stopped herfor a motor vehicle violation onChurch Road near Route 73. Shewas charged with driving whileintoxicated and released pend-

ing a court hearing.

On Oct. 17, Mt. Laurel Police received areport of a credit card fraud where a sus-pect made purchases totaling $4,500 at PCRichards on Nixon Drive with a stolen

credit card. The investigation identifiedthe suspect as a 45-year-old man of Sas-safras Court, Evesham. On Oct. 23, the manturned himself in at police headquarters.He was arrested and charged with twocounts of credit card fraud. He was re-leased pending a court hearing.

A member of LA Fitness onDearborne Circle reported thaton Oct. 20 between 6:15 p.m. and

New Jersey businesses need

help, not more regulations.

But, unfortunately, our state

government is proposing more restric-

tions for employers in the name of

more rights for workers.

Last week, a state Assembly com-

mittee proposed a bill that would guar-antee paid sick leave to almost all

workers in New Jersey. Workers in

both the private and public sectors

would accrue one hour of paid sick

leave for every 30 hours worked, and

would be allowed to carry forward be-

tween five and nine days from one

year to the next, depending on the size

of the company.For a full-time employee who works

40 hours per week, that would equate

to almost nine guaranteed paid sick

leave days per year.

Proponents of the bill say it would

add an increased level of security for

the nearly 1.1 million New Jersey em-

ployees who are unable to earn paidleave right now. Under the proposal,

paid sick leave could be taken for ones

own illness, or to care for another.

Not surprisingly, business groups in

the state are against the proposal, and

you can count us among those who

feel its bad for business.

A story in the Asbury Park Press,

published last week, quotes Danielle

Cyr, the New Jersey director for Amer-

icans of Prosperity, who says that 80

percent of small businesses fail within

their first 18 months of operation,

even without mandates such as paid

sick leave that she said small business-

es cant afford. One thing she said

wraps it up firmly:

Business growth inevitably leads

to improved benefits and pay, but it is

regulations like these that stop growth

before it can begin.

We couldnt agree more.

A Bloomberg study recently found

that job growth in New Jersey was lessthan a third of that of New York, and,

adjusted for inflation, our states medi-

an household income declined 12.2

percent, compared to 3.9 percent na-

tionally.

At a time when New Jersey is reel-

ing from a lack of job growth and job

loss on a major scale, small businesses

in the state dont need more restrictiveregulations. They need help, incen-

tives, not more reasons not to hire.

The motivation behind paid sick

leave is noble, but it isnt necessary. If

our government would focus on stimu-

lating business and not stunting it, we

wouldnt have this problem.

in our opinion

No more business regulationsGovernment shouldnt pass paid sick leave bill

The jungle theme was one of afew ideas Waldron had. He en-tered 2014 with the goal of creat-ing a new and unique routine.

I wanted to try and do some-thing Ive never seen done be-fore, he said.

Lenapes performance immedi-ately transports the audience intoa jungle setting. The band mem-bers and color guard are alldressed in some sort of jungle

motifs. Some members aredressed like cheetahs, monkeys,giraffes and zebras. The animalsset up small stories over thecourse of the performance.

We have some little vignettesalong the way, Waldron said.

The little stories told in the per-formances are comical and depictgoofy scenes of what animalsmay do in the jungle when hu-mans arent watching.

The music is varied in genreand style, but all of the tunes re-volve around the jungle theme.There are familiar Disney songs

such as Bare Necessities fromThe Jungle Book and Circle ofLife from The Lion King.These songs are mixed with tunessuch as Welcome to the Junglefrom Guns N Roses.

The combination of music isdifferent than what Lenape hasdone previously, but Waldron saidthe songs end up blending well to-gether.

When we put all of them to-gether, it makes total sense, he

said. The kids are also being ex-posed to so many styles and gen-res.

Performing such an intensiveroutine required a huge timecommitment from the students.The bands schedule includes per-formances at the football teamsgames, practices throughout theweek, and band competitions onthe weekends.

The competitions take place

weekly at high schools acrossSouth Jersey.

Waldron credited the studentsfor committing themselves to the

program and for their persever-ance throughout the fall.

We dont shy away from thetime commitment during ourmeeting in June, Waldron said.We all come together for the foot-ball games and the practices andthe competitions.

This is the fourth consecutiveyear Lenape is heading to the na-tional championship. The Indianswon their group in 2011 and havefinished second the past two

years.Waldron is happy with how farthe band has gone and considersthem winners regardless of theoutcome of the Nov. 15 competi-tion.

I always tell my students win-ning is how you feel when youcome off that field, he said.Weve always been in the huntand thats a great sense of accom-plishment.

The district also had one inci-dent of violence, one case of van-dalism and two cases of weaponpossessions. Rath said theweapons cases did not involve useand only involved small itemssuch as a scout pocketknife beingbrought to school accidentally.

The school district released itsviolence and vandalism report aswell as an updated security andschool safety plan in conjunctionwith Violence Awareness Week.

Some of the security changesinvolve improvements the schooldistrict made over the summer.All Mt. Laurel schools were

equipped with warning beaconsand panic buttons to providequicker response for emergencypersonnel and strengthen safety

for students and staff. The districtwrote a communication plan forboth devices.

The other big change was a re-vision to the reunification plansmaps for each school. Director ofCommunications Marie Reynoldsused Harrington Middle Schoolas an example, saying the old re-unification site could potentiallybe inaccessible in an emergency.

If Mt. Laurel Road was closed,parents would not be able to get tothe site, Reynolds said.

The district also made changesto bomb threat procedures to clar-ify the involvement of emergencypersonnel in the situation.

Each October, the school dis-trict releases a revised plan to co-incide with Violence AwarenessWeek. Reynolds said the districtssecurity procedures are verysolid. She said the development ofthe plan is a credit to the districts

good relationship with the Mt.Laurel Police Department, thetownship and other emergencyorganizations.

Our policies are very, verystrong right now, Reynolds said.

When revising the plan eachyear, the district looks at all as-pects of security, from naturaldisaster plans and issues withutilities to drills and evacuationprotocol. Some of the changes aremade due to revisions in state orlocal laws, while others are uponobservations district personnelhave made.

Reynolds said changes aresometimes made during theschool year, when a weakness isspotted during an event or a drill.

Well make changes to theplan as necessary, she said.

Changes in the plan are madeavailable to all staff members andare communicated during train-ing sessions. The plan is alsomade available to the Mt. LaurelOffice of Emergency Manage-ment.

15/20

By BRIGIT BAUMAThe Sun

What do you get when you havetwo pairs of husbands and wives,a brother and a sister, paint, pho-tographs, fabrics and digital im-ages? You get the Mix X Six artshow!

The Mix X Six is theMoorestown Library's first art ex-hibition in its new facility. The ex-hibition features the art of hus-band and wife pairings Geoff andSky McClain of Moorestown andVickie and Paul Mathas of Mt.Laurel, and sister and brotherduo Linda Burns and Bob Min-nick of Moorestown. Each artisthas his or her own artistic styleand art medium that, what mayseem like an odd combination,ends up creating a beautiful mix.

I was really excited becausethis is the first art show at thenew library, and I felt honored to

be chosen for the first show, Skysaid.

The idea for the show firstbegan when Burns, knowing thatmany libraries have a gallery andlike to display local artists, ap-proached library director JosephGalbraith with the idea to displayartwork in the new gallery at thenew library. Galbraith, intendingto do an art gallery display for thefall, gave them the first slot.

It makes the library a more in-teresting place to visit. Its not

just a literary source, but an artsource, Burns said about havinga gallery at a public library.

Burns then got her brother andother local artists she knew to-gether to create the art show.

My brother Bob is an accom-plished artist and, since I have re-tired teaching art, I have gotten toknow local artists. I know Vickieand Sky and their husbands. Itwas through networking andfriendships that got us together.

The interesting thing is they arevery diverse artists in their medi-um, Burns said.

Burns, along with her brotherMinnick, are mainly oil painters.

Burns work in the show is pre-dominately oil paintings, exceptone portrait in pastel and onepainting of a barn in watercolor.A couple of pictures are gicleeprints, which is a sophisticatedway of printing so many pixelsand colors can be captured almostas an exact copy of the originalpainting.

Skys work is mainly in water-color, pen and ink. Growing up onan island, near the beach in NewJersey, she is inspired by nature,specifically sea-themed nature.Some of her paintings includeseashells and sandy beaches indetailed watercolor.

The fiber artist of the group,Vickie, is a quilter. Art quilts have

become the medium of her artis-tic expression. She uses a mixedmedium approach that incorpo-rates a variety of materials andtechniques for each piece. The

stitching is the most important el-ement in her fiber art pieces. It isthe unifying connection for all ofher works. Vicki is also one of theartists of the Nipper dogs thatwere around Moorestown a fewyears back.

Like his sister Burns, Min-nicks work is mostly of paint-ings. Geoff and Paul both use dig-ital photography but in differentways. Geoff, like his wife, uses na-ture as inspiration. He has pic-tures of flowers, ferns and vines.Paul uses digital photographydriven by the what if factor, ac-cording to Galbraith. His picturesare visual puzzles, and he createsdifferent kinds of environmentsfor those pictures. He also collab-

orates with his wife Vickie, tak-ing photographs of her work orher taking her husbands andsewing it into a quilt.

I think it is so cool. Its like a

family affair; how unusual is itthat the show is husbands andwives and brothers and sisters?Vickie asked.

All these unique types of workand mediums end up blendingand working well together at theMix X Six art show.

Soft mediums against theglass frames and canvases is a re-ally nice mixture of textures,Vickie said.

I hope that when someoneviews the artwork that they cansomehow form a connection withthe piece and an appreciation forit. I hope all of the people can feelconnected to the pieces and emitsome kind of emotional responsewithin the viewer, Burns said.

Much of the artwork at the li-brary is for sale. Three pieceshave already sold, but shall stillbe on display until the end of theexhibition, which is Nov. 20. On

Nov. 11 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., therewill be a reception with light re-freshments where viewers cantalk to the artists and ask themquestions about their work.

Come over. It is a beautifulvenue and theres something foreveryone because of the mix ofstyles of media. I hope that peoplewill come to the reception so wecan meet them and talk to them,Sky said.

Also at the library is a displayof Andy Warhol artwork andsigned ephemera from the collec-tion of Gregory McCoy, aMoorestown resident. They hadthe reception on Oct. 25 whereJames Warhola, childrens bookauthor and illustrator, as well as

Andys nephew, came to signbooks. The artists as well as the li-brary director recommends youcome to the library to see the artshows available.

Mix X Six art show is all in the familyShow features work by husbands, wives and siblings, including Mt. Laurel residents Vickie and Paul Mathas

PAUL MATHAS/Special to The Sun

The surrounding work is on display at the Mix X Six art show, open

now through Nov. 20 at the Moorestown Library with a reception onNov. 11 from 5 to 8 p.m. Clockwise from left: Bob Minnicks oil paint-ing displays a variety of books on a table. The oil painting of a beauti-ful city skyline is one of Linda Burns paintings. The watercolorpainting, done by Sky McClain, shows her love of nature, specificallythe beach.
