    Seneca Class of 2019 members get a picture in a hula hoop at the Freshman Festival last week. The students came from four differentsending schools and were given the opportunity to meet one another and get to know their new school. These Seneca rookies got theinside scoop from their student council and student government upperclassmen who provided a tour of the building, helped them prac-tice opening their lockers, and played games that served as ‘icebreakers.’ For another photo, please see page 2.

    By SEAN LAJOIEThe Sun

    A prize possession that hasbeen around for as long as thePinelands have existed will be un-dergoing restrictions when theNew Jersey Park Services Motor-ized Action Plan is implemented.

    The goal of the organization isto protect the environment andencourage responsible use of off-road vehicles in Wharton StateForest, which is by far the largestunit in the State Park System.

    The plan consists of a map thatoutlines nearly 225 miles of roadsand trails that are open to motor-ized vehicles, and a brochure thatexplains the long-term damagethat can be caused by improper

    off-roading.“The MAP program will en-

    sure continued access to thesefeatures while educating the pub-lic and making sure the region’ssensitive ecology is protected,”said Richard Boornazian, the De-partment of Environmental Pro-tection’s assistant commissioner

    The SunNow that the children of Sha-

    mong have returned to school forwhat will surely be a terrific 2015-2016 year after a busy summer of renovations, the Indian MillsHome and School Associationwants to officially welcome every-one back.

    The organization is proud toannounce the return of the “Wel-come Back Picnic” for anotheryear after last year’s initial at-

    tempt was successful.The second annual Welcome

    Back Picnic will be held at IndianMills Memorial School on Friday,Sept. 11 from 4-7 p.m.

    “We had tremendous successlast year with parents and chil-dren coming back. We welcomedback the community with anevent in which everyone got to seeeach other for the first time allsummer,” association President

    Scott Caloiaro said. “We got greatfeedback from everyone. Peopleabsolutely loved it, so we decidedto do it again this year.”

    The Indian Mills Home andSchool Association is a highly en-

    ergetic, motivated, team-orientedorganization that encourages vol-unteerism using effectivefundraising and meaningfulevents.

    The overall goal of the group isto promote learning experiences,strengthen communication be-tween home and school, and en-hance the educational experienceof every child in the ShamongTownship School District.

    Any parents and staff are eligi-ble and encouraged to becomeHSA members. All members in

    good standing have voting rightsfor the “wish list” items on theagenda if in attendance at theHSA’s general public meetings.

    The Welcome Back Picnic wasvoted on last year after the ideawas brainstormed following a dis-cussion with Indian Mills Ele-mentary School Principal NicoleMoore and Indian Mills Memori-

    al School Principal Timothy Carroll.“The goal of the event is to bring the

    school community together and have anice family evening where we can all gath-er as one,” Caloiaro said.

    This year’s picnic will have a few addi-tions from last year.

    Along with the hot dogs, hamburgers,watermelon, water ice and dunk tank thatare paid for through the general funding of the association, the children will also havesome added company.

    Last year, the HSA had two separate pic-nics at the different schools, but this yearthere will be one collaborative gathering atthe Memorial School everyone from thedistrict will be invited to.

    “This made it a lot easier for the execu-

    tive board to plan,” Caloiaro said. “It was alot of work last year, but it ended up being100 percent worth it.”

    The students will also likely have moreguests, as an invitation has been extendedto the Indian Mills Fire Company and EMSgroup.

    Caloiaro thought it would be fitting tohave the township fire and EMS squads inattendance since it will be held on the an-niversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept.11.

    “We will also be charging $1 for threethrows at the dunk tank to raise money forthe fire and EMS groups, as well as havingdonation jars around the picnic for the fireand EMS donations,” Caloiaro said.

    Another change to this year’s picnic willbe the design of the t-shirt that is beingsold.

    After last year’s creative “got spirit”shirts that mimicked the popular “gotmilk” advertisement were a hit, the HSA

    developed a new logo for this year.The shirts will come in green and pink

    and will read “I M BRAVE.”

    “The I M stands for Indian Mills and theBRAVE has always been our mascot at theschool and symbolizes us as a communityas a whole,” Caloiaro said.

    The proceeds from the green t-shirts willbe donated to the Indian Mills fire andEMS group, and the proceeds from thepink t-shirts will be donated to the SusanG. Komen Foundation. The shirts cost $10.

    This foundation is the only one that ad-dresses breast cancer on multiple frontssuch as research, community health, glob-al outreach and public policy initiatives tomake the biggest impact against this dis-

    ease.“We found it fitting because breast can-

    cer victims and survivors and the fire andEMS personnel symbolize the ultimate

    ur children’s safety should al-

    ways be of the utmost impor-

    tance to us – ahead of how

    much we pay in taxes, whether we get

    that promotion, whether we can take

    that vacation and whether the last sea-

    son of “True Detective” was absolute-

    ly horrible or sneakily impressive.

    The new child car seat law that went

    into effect last week is the perfect ex-

    ample of this. Among everything else

    that is going on in our world – and

    among some pretty questionable deci-

    sions they sometimes make – our

    elected officials are still looking out

    for our children’s safety.

    Starting last Tuesday, stricter rules

    went into effect for car seats, and these

    rules adhere to the American Acade-

    my of Pediatrics’ list of recommenda-

    tions.

    Among the new rules:

    • Children under 2 who weigh less

    than 30 pounds must be secured in a

    rear-facing seat equipped with a five-

    point harness.

    • Children 2-4 who weigh up to 40

    pounds can be either in a rear- or

    front-facing seat.

    • Children 4-8 who are less than 57

    inches tall must be in a forward-facing

    seat or a booster seat.

    • Children between 8 and 17 must

    wear seat belts.

    Some of these changes are going to

    cost parents extra money, as they will

    require the purchase of new car seats,

    and will require children to be in them

    for longer than before.

    But that’s OK. There should be no

    expense spared when dealing with

    child safety.

    The state’s official website says auto

    crashes are the leading cause of death

    for children 6 and older, and using a

    car seat properly is “one of the sim-

    plest and most effective methods avail-

    able” to protect them.

    So spend whatever it takes to keep

    your children safe on the road. And if 

    you need help installing the seats

    properly, call the local police depart-

    ment. Safety is No. 1.

    in our opinion

    Car seat safety law is in effectNe w state law is a good measure to k eep our children safe

    Halloween may still be abouttwo months away, but the Burling-ton County Library’s annual cos-tume swap drop-off starts soonerthan later.

    The event ties into “National

    Costume Swap Day,” which helpsfamilies “go green” as well assave a little money by allowingthem to trade old Halloween cos-tumes with other parents insteadof having to buy new ones.

    Starting Sept. 3, families candrop off their children’s former,gently used Halloween costumesat the Evesham Library,Pinelands Library, Pemberton Li-brary, Bordentown Library or

    county library in Westampton.For every costume a family do-

    nates, it will in return receive onecostume swap ticket. Then, amonth later on Saturday Oct. 3from 10 a.m. 2 p.m., families canvisit any one of the participatinglibraries and trade their ticket ortickets for any of the costumes

    donated by another family.Each family who participateswill be able to get a new Hal-loween costume for their child orchildren without having to spendadditional money, and those fami-lies gain the satisfaction of know-ing they did their part in helpingthe environment.

    for natural and historic re-sources.

    The Pinelands Preservation Al-liance supports this action by thestate Department of Environ-mental Protection.

    “We are pleased with DEP’scontinued actions to address ac-

    tivities that result in negative im-pacts to Pinelands resources,”said Nancy Wittenberg, the exec-utive director of the PinelandsCommission.

    Park Services will be moreclearly marking routes that arenot intended for vehicles but aremeant for the enjoyment of thosewho are traveling on foot, bicycleor horseback.

    However, for those who havelimited mobility such as long-time Shamong resident Kerri

    Lyons, this plan will essentiallybe negating them from enjoyingsomething they have relished foras long as they can remember, un-less the DEP is able to providespecial permits to those with dis-abilities.

    At last week’s Shamong Town-ship Committee meeting, ParkServices was in attendance tohighlight the reasons for imple-menting this plan and to take allquestions and comments.

    There are five main objectivesthat have been set out to be ac-complished by enforcing the Mo-torized Action Plan.

    Park Services will be looking toidentify routes that are open formotorized access and keep motor-ized vehicles on these approved,designated routes.

    The group has walked everyroad and trail, and has each pointmarked and put into a databaseusing GPS technology.

    “Nothing is being closed. No

    access is in any way hamperedfor hikers or equestrians,” saidThomas C. Keck Jr., superintend-ent of the State Park Servicesouthern region.

    Another objective of the plan isto coordinate emergency re-sponse for those called upon tofight a forest fire or to tend to asimple 9-1-1 call.

    “It’s impetrative for first re-sponders to be able to get to thevictim or where the problem isand take care of it without put-ting themselves in further jeop-ardy or their equipment inharm’s way,” Keck said.

    Focusing maintenance efforts

    on these designated routes is anadditional emphasis of the plan.“We’ve invited people to utilize

    a route, now there’s a responsibil-ity to keep those people safe,”Keck said.

    Lastly, the plan was created tohelp increase the education andenforcement of Wharton StateForest while protecting culturallysignificant sites.

    There are many historicalsites, natural resources andthreatened or endangered plant

    and animal species in this forest.When the public was given the

    chance to voice their opinions,there were very few supporters of the plan. Many folks voiced dis-pleasure with these changes.

    However, representatives fromthe Park Services group obligedthat this is a process that will taketime to iron out and will not besettled overnight.

    Mayor Kenneth Long and thetownship committee stated theybrought the representatives in toeducate the township on the ac-tion plan and to take time to lis-ten to what the residents had tosay before the committee jumpedto any conclusions.

    While the Motorized AccessPlan will promote responsiblerecreation, many argued thehandful of examples of irrespon-sible ORV use that has damagedthe environment is a small frac-tion of how the majority of peo-ple use the forest and therefore

    should not call for such drasticmeasures.

    Many also argued that a meresign would not dissuade thesefolks who have been off-roading

    recklessly for so long, so the planwould not be effective.

    The DEP alluded to how cru-cial enforcement will be in thisprocess, and stated the park po-lice will step up its game andmake the MAP work.

    Shamong resident Hugh Mac-donald owns a horse farm and is apart of the New Jersey Trail RideAssociation that has hosted ridesin Wharton State Forest for morethan 50 years.

    The group uses motor vehiclesto mark the trail, to unmark thetrail and to use an ambulance togo back and forth if a rider getsthrown. This plan will preventthe majority of these rides fromtaking place.

    Township residents such asJohn Bryans were cautiously op-timistic about the plan in thesense that it may be a step in theright direction as far as some-thing finally being done about thedamage being caused by these ve-

    hicles before it is too late.“If we don’t start somewhere,

    eventually we won’t have a PineBarrens to protect,” Bryans said.“Sooner or later, the fragmenta-tion is going to destroy the forest,and future generations won’thave it to appreciate.”

    Wharton State Forest Superin-tendent Rob Auermuller and ateam of volunteers have alreadybegun posting “No Motorized Ve-hicles” signs on many of the for-est sand roads that have beenopen to traffic for decades.

    Brochures and maps showingwhat roads are available forwhich means of transportationwill be accessible at the BatstoVillage Visitor Center, located off Burlington County Route 542,east of Hammonton, and at theAtsion Recreation Area, locatedoff Route 206 in Shamong.

    Nesting Needs

    If you want to buy a homeIt’s a big decision and it is important to understand each step as well as the nuances of the market

    conditions. Being an informed buyer and getting the right assistance can make big differences in

    your home buying experience and the final results. In most cases, buying a home will happen

    maybe twice or three times in someone’s lifetime and it is a big financial commitment. It is im-

    portant to know all the ins and outs of such a major transaction complicated by so many details.

    Financial considerations are central to any home purchase. In addition to helping you make bet-

    ter decisions about what you can afford in a home, someone who already has their financing in

    place is in a better negotiation position when it’s time to make an offer.

    Finding your new home can be exciting but deciding what you truly want and need can be chal-

    lenging. Most home buyers invariably face trade-offs, so it is important to prioritize what is im-

    portant. Negotiating an offer, home inspections, and applying for the mortgage, all have checks

    and balances that can be overwhelming if the proper guidance in not in place.

    Don’t get caught in the Renters TrapA recent study revealed that over the last five years, a typical rent rose 15%, while the income of 

    renters grew by only 11%. If you are currently renting, this disparity in growth could get you

    caught up in a cycle where increasing rents continue to make it impossible for you to save for a

    necessary down payment.

    Homebuyers, who were able to purchase their home over the same five-year period and lock in

    their housing costs, were able to grow their net worth as home values have increased and their

    mortgage balances have gone down.

    Don’t get caught in the trap so many renters are currently in. If you are ready and willing to

    buy a home, contact, Sheri Smith, a professional real estate coach at (856) 616-706 or via email

    at [email protected] help you determine if you are eligible now or what needs

    to be done for the future!

    costume swap do not need to be aresident or library cardholder toparticipate in a particular li-brary’s swap event, and residentsare encouraged to come to theOct. 3 swap with their children.

    The idea to hold a swap in theBurlington County Library Sys-tem started about five years agoat the Pinelands Library withyouth services librarian Danielle

    Haubrich.In the past, Haubrich had beenspeaking with a parent about howexpensive Halloween costumeswere becoming and how a swap atthe end of the year would benefitfamilies, so Haubrich decided totry the idea at the library.

    “It’s a great way to celebrate agreen Halloween and save a littlemoney this year,” Haubrich said.

    Haubrich said the first eventwas a success and had great feed-back from parents, so it contin-

    ued and has now spread to five of the BCLS’ branches for this year’sevent.

    “The parents are happy to beable to get some use out of their

    children’s old costumes thatwould otherwise just be sitting ina drawer or box, and they also getsomething new without spending

    any money, so it works well bothways.”

    Costume drop-offs will be ac-cepted at the participatingbranches up to the day of theswap on Oct. 3.

    According to the rules of theswap, the costumes dropped off must be in “good condition” andmust be “appropriate” for ages in-fant to teenager.

    The libraries also remind fami-lies that the costumes taken from

    the swap do not necessarily haveto be used for Halloween, as manychildren enjoy wearing costumesduring dress-up and playtime all-year round.

    Also, no costume donated tothe costume swap will go towaste. As in previous years, cos-tumes that remain after the swapwill be stored and saved for thefollowing year’s swap.

    For more information aboutthe costume swaps, visit any of the participating BCLS branch

    websites at www.bcls.lib.nj.us/and choose the appropriate Eve-sham, Pinelands, Pemberton,Bordentown or Westampton sec-tion.
