    Lenape Regional High School District CupLenape district honorsstudent volunteers

    By ZANE CLARKThe Sun

    It was a night to give thanks tothose who already give so much of themselves, when the Lenape Re-gional High School District usedits May 11 Board of Educationmeeting to honor the recipients of this year’s student volunteer serv-ice awards.

    According to LRHSD directorof programs and planningMatthew Webb, the awards werefirst implemented across the dis-trict not only to honor senior stu-dent volunteers, but also to instillin all students civic responsibilityand a willingness to service theircommunities throughout theirlives.

    Webb said the students who re-ceived the award demonstratecommitment and dedication to-

    ward volunteerism as well asleadership that demonstrates oth-ers to do the same in their com-munity.

    This year’s recipients wereCherokee High School’s Kather-ine Taylor, Lenape High School’sVictoria Ieradi, Seneca HighSchool’s Gabriella Magasic andShawnee High School’s JessicaForelli.

    The accomplishments of eachrecipient were detailed at themeeting by that recipient’s schoolprincipal, and short videos werealso played where the recipientsspoke about their work alongwith their teachers.

    Much of Taylor’s volunteerwork has been centered at theFranklin Institute in Philadel-phia, where she’s spent morethan 500 hours volunteering as ascience presenter.

    Taylor said volunteering hadbeen a central part of her lifefrom a young age, and she washappy to think that some of thechildren she’s spoken to at theFranklin Institute might some-day want to become scientists ormathematicians.

    “I think volunteering is impor-tant because it’s a way to giveback and it’s a way to share our

    knowledge with others,” Taylorsaid. “It’s a way to spread inspira-tion.”

    Sharing knowledge with otherswas also a mission for Ieradi, whoin addition to being involved withfood drives and tutoring work,has spent more than 500 hourswith the Girl Scouts and Boy

    n just a few short weeks, high

    school seniors throughout New

    Jersey will be wrapping up their

    final days of class, taking their final

    high school tests and walking onto

    their high school field one more time

    for graduation.

    It’s an exciting time in the life of ayoung man or young woman. The final

    weeks of high school, the graduation

    ceremony, the hugs and congratula-

    tions following, the celebrations that

    will last throughout the summer and

    the packing for, the drive to and the ar-

    rival at college are memories gradu-

    ates will remember fondly.

    To all the grads out there, while you

    may want to rush these last days so

    school can be out for summer, and so

    high school can be out forever, remem-

    ber to savor every remaining moment.

    This may not mean much to you

    right now, but there are experiences

    you will have in these final days, these

    next few months, that you will neverreplicate again. There are people you

    will graduate with – some friends,

    some acquaintances, some whom you

    grew up with – whom you may never

    see again.

    There are some whom you are close

    with now who you will grow apart

    from over the years, and there are

    some whom you will grow closer to as

    your lives change.

    Those wistful days of no responsi-

    bility will be behind you. Soon, you

    will be on your own. You will have the

    freedom to eat pizza for breakfast, stay

    up until 4 a.m., take a nap in the mid-

    dle of the day, go berzerk at a sporting

    event wearing your college’s colors

    and skip a class if you want to – note:

    we don’t recommend that last one.

    The label “high school student”

    came with a lot of restrictions on your

    freedom, but it also gave you a get-out-

    of-jail-free card, or cards. Once gradua-

    tion is over, that label goes away. Allfreedoms given to an American adult

    will be yours.

    But so, too, will all the consequences

    of your actions. The decisions you

    make – from as serious as “do I study

    for this test?” to “should I eat another

    burrito?” – will all have results that

    will affect your life. It’s a lot of respon-

    sibility. It’s a good thing, for sure, but

    it can also be a scary thing, becoming

    an adult.

    So, while you still have the option,

    live life as a “kid” one last time. Savor

    these last days of high school. And be

    confident that you will do just fine.

    Good luck and congratulations!

    The past and present of the UnitedStates armed forces came together to honortheir future when on May 9 the Lenape Re-gional High School District held its seventhannual ar med services awards ceremony.

    On that night, 21 seniors from across thedistrict’s four schools and their familiesgathered as district officials, members of the community and veterans honored themfor their decision to enter the armed serv-ices, military academies or college ROTC

    programs after graduation in June.Superintendent Carol Birnbohm told the

    seniors that while the event was an oppor-tunity to celebrate their service and sacri-fice, she hoped it could also help create asupport system where veterans might pro-vide valuable insight for the students andtheir parents.

    “Tonight’s students will have addedpressure of being a part of somethingmuch bigger than they have ever been apart of before … a newfound responsibilityunderstanding that individual decisionsnow impact their unit, their institution

    and our country,” Birnbohm said. “Veter-ans, I’m looking to you to provide insightfor our students on how to best handle thatnew responsibility.”

    Students honored at the event includedLenape High School seniors RaymondBackus, Brian Betz, Dillon Gladwell andCynthia Martinez; Shawnee High School

    seniors Jeffrey Amisano, Charles HowardV, Zachary Rosen, Daniel Scannell andJoshua Walton; Cherokee High School sen-iors Kelsey Adam, Atrayo Croly, Conner

    Scouts.

    For her Girl Scout Gold ServiceAward project, Ieradi helped im-prove the Pine Tree Educationaland Environmental Center inTabernacle by installing educa-tional signs detailing animal andplants unique to the Pinelands.

    “I know I’m pretty fortunate, Ilive in a great town, I have greatparents and a great support sys-tem, so I think it’s only appropri-

    ate that people who have thingsshould help give back to theircommunity and help out thosewho are less fortunate than them-selves,” Ieradi said.

    Spreading the idea of volun-teering throughout the communi-ty was also a goal in the work of Magasic, who volunteers at theAnimal Welfare Association inVoorhees in addition to work

    she’s done at Virtua Hospital, Na-tional Honor Society and prepar-ing food for the homeless.

    “Volunteering is important be-

    cause it leaves you with a reallypositive feeling about yourself,”Magasic said. “You know thatyou’re helping others but you'realso helping yourself and earningrespect for yourself at the sametime.”

    Positive feelings were also atheme in Forelli’s volunteer work,much of which has concentratedon helping with cheerleadingthrough the Medford Youth Ath-letic Association.

    Forelli has also done volunteerwork through the National HonorSociety and the Shawnee cheerteam, and said she hopes to con-tinue her community service wellinto the future.

    “I would definitely say commu-nity service is one of the biggestactivities of my life and not some-thing I’d want to give up,” Forellisaid.

Magasic is one of the re-cipients of this year’s volunteerservice award, which is given an-nually to one student at each ofthe district’s schools who exem-plifies volunteer service.

    1.) One of the things that hasbecome obvious to me over theyears is that the township needsto do a much better job of sup-porting our local small businesscommunity. A thriving smallbusiness community helps us allby generating ratables, servicesand jobs. Communication, I be-

    lieve, is key. An advisory com-mittee comprised of local busi-ness owners and township repre-sentatives probably would be agood start.

    But there are other steps to betaken. For example, the Town-ship Committee received a pres-entation by “Shop BurlingtonCounty First,” a county initia-tive that encourages residents toshop locally. Rather than takingsteps to join the initiative, theTownship dropped the ball. Join-ing this program has no draw-

    backs; it would onlyhelp our community. If elected to serve on theTownship Committee,I would reach out toour small businesscommunity to seewhat additional stepscould be taken to sup-

    port them.In addition, in talk-

    ing with residentsaround town, it is clearthat except for people who ac-tively engage with the township,most people are in the darkabout township matters that di-rectly affect them. It is far morecommon to hear rumors andmisinformation than correct in-formation. If elected, I wouldwork to proactively inform mem-bers of the community abouttownship matters, leveraging ex-

    isting print mailingsand taking advantage of online forms of com-munication, to makesure that people aremore informed of theissues that affect them.

    Finally, the currentcommittee has a record

    of not focusing on fi-nancial impacts to thetownship. For example,earlier this year the

    township switched to a newtrash collection company. Afterbeing awarded the contract butbefore starting pickup, the newcompany requested to change amaterial term of the contract – the pickup day. Rather than re-questing a discount due to thechange, our opponents votedsimply to grant the contractchange, leaving potentially thou-

    sands of dollars on the table. Infact, the change actually cost thetownship money by advertisingthe change. Similarly, the mainreason stated in public sessionfor creating an investigative sub-committee to look at emergencyservices was to try to savemoney, yet the report produced

    did not address this at all – infact, our opponents proposespending additional money on anew public safety director. If elected, I will be a much bettersteward of township funds.

    2.) Both Tabernacle Fire Com-pany No. 1 and the TabernacleRescue Squad perform their jobsadmirably. However, they pro-vide different services, go aboutexecuting their responsibilitiesin very different ways, and havevery different operational struc-tures. If the heads of both organi-

    zations came together on theirown and proposed a plan formerger, I think it would have thepotential to work. However, forc-ing the merger from the top down

     – which seems to be the thrust of a written report prepared by theincumbents we are runningagainst – is not a solution.

    Their report suggests thetown create a new Public SafetyDepartment to be headed up by asingle public safety director.This usurps the authority of theleadership in both of these vol-unteer organizations, by com-pelling the “chiefs” to report tothe director; it is a recipe for dis-aster. This move is tantamountto saying, “We don’t trust you,”and that’s not a message thatshould be sent. It’s no wonderthe report has become a sourceof controversy.

    JASON LITOWITZ

    1.) Currently, the TownshipCommittee is considering op-tions to enhance the Town Hallcomplex and community center(old squad building) to provideimproved facilities for our resi-dents, visitors and our dedicatedemployees without any addition-

    al tax burden.These infrastructure modifi-

    cations, which have long-term

    benefits, will greatlyimprove the efficiencyof township servicesand improve our towncenter to enjoy eventssuch as the MemorialDay Parade and Holi-day Tree Lighting.

    2.) For the first timein nearly 40 years, the

    Township Committeehas thoroughly re-viewed emergencyservices. As a result of the continued work, Ibelieve this type of or-ganization may be nec-essary some day, but

    definitely not in thenear future.

    Tabernacle Fire

    Company, Tabernacle RescueSquad, Pinelands CERT and theOEM coordinator currently pro-vide a very high level of service,and we are very fortunate tohave these first-responders ful-filling our needs. Any type of changes, if any, would need to be

    done in a clear, methodical way,with cooperation with all of theabove-mentioned organizations.STEPHEN LEE

    MAY 18–24, 2016 –THE TABERNACLE SUN 11

    1.) My running mate and Ihave put forth a five-point plat-form which, we believe, not onlyaddresses Tabernacle’s existingtax and spending issues, but of-fers some constructive ideas forimproving communication andtransparency with residents, en-couraging and assisting local

    business, and supporting all vol-unteer organizations.

    At this writing, Tabernacle isfacing the largest increase in itslocal purpose tax – the tax wepay to run local government – inrecent years. Better long-termplanning is extremely importantand will enable us to avoid thistype of unexpected tax “spike”in the future. My running mateand I have pledged to waive oursalary, if elected. We feel strong-ly that the salary dedicated tocommittee members is betterserved in the budget to supportprograms and services.

    Businesses provide our town

    with valuable tax rata-bles, and we need tohear their needs andtake every feasible stepto assist them. Theirvoice has not beenheard in a very longtime, and we valuetheir perspective and

    plan to include busi-ness leaders in discus-sions and planning ef-forts.

    Transparency is asignificant component to ourcampaign platform. In speakingwith residents, I find they knowlittle about how their tax dollarsare being spent and other rou-tine information about townshipservices and events. We pledge toaddress this through the mailand online. In addition, residentsneed to know more about all thetownship’s volunteer organiza-tions, the good deeds they do forour town, and how residents can

    participate. Our com-munity is built aroundvolunteers, and we sup-port them completely.They need an unbiasedcommittee to listen tothem, to work withthem and help them tomeet their goals.

    Finally, a significantneed is to restore har-mony between our fireand rescue squads, findways to make sure

    these dedicated volunteers arecomfortable in their mission,have the leadership, equipmentand training they need, andknow they are appreciated.These organizations keep ourfamilies safe, alive and are oncall 24 hours a day, seven days aweek.

    2.) Ever since our opponentsput this proposal on the tablemonths ago, it has exacerbatedill feelings between the fire com-

    pany and rescue squad. More-over, it is apparent that it has cre-ated an unspoken rift betweenmembers of Township Commit-tee. While the service of thepresent committee is appreciat-ed, we feel fresh ideas with unbi-ased perspectives will assist inbeginning to form harmony

    where disharmony presently ex-ists.

    Our opponents appointedthemselves a two-member sub-committee to investigate emer-gency services, and finally re-leased a report on their findings,which is more astonishing forwhat it lacks, than for what itproposes. They purportedly in-terviewed not just fire and res-cue leaders, but also state andcounty officials, and formertownship officials. They refuseto provide the names of whomthey spoke with and do not pro-vide any direct input from theseoutside “experts.” Nor did they

    include the historical perspec-tive from prior leaders. In addi-tion, the report is not balanced.The components analyzed forone department are not analyzedfor the other.

    Despite the fact that the town-ship is obviously strapped forrevenue, they recommend the

    creation of a public safety de-partment and a public safety co-ordinator, a paid position forwhich no salary amount hasbeen stated and at a time whenother budget line items are sub-

     ject to elimination due to fiscalconstraints.

    It is no surprise the report hasreceived backlash from so manyrespected individuals in thiswonderful town. The report of-fers lavish praise for both fireand rescue, yet proffers to ad-dress the issues between them,instead of addressing what eachunit might see as problemsunique to their situation.

    Cosgrove, Zachary Ellis, MichaelEvans, Jose Fraile, Justin Keller,Andrew Kim, Elizur Mitchell andStephen Scheuren; and SenecaHigh School seniors Tyler Bartonand Alex Funches.

    Birnbohm told the studentsthey would soon be joining anelite club that extolls leadership,and while some may spend theirentire careers in the armed forcesand some may not, they will allshare the common thread of 

    being prepared for any obstacle.“You will be asked to do thingsyou were never asked to do be-fore, and you will learn that youwill be able to accomplish muchmore than you thought you couldever accomplish,” Birnbohmsaid.

    Exemplifying that belief wasthe evening’s keynote speaker,USMC Maj. Michael Borneo, aMt. Laurel native and graduate of the Lenape High School class of 1996.

    Borneo is assigned as a mili-tary advisor to the Bureau of EastAsian and Pacific Affairs, Officeof Regional Security and Policy,and in the past has deployedaboard ship and ashore eighttimes to the Middle East, KoreanPeninsula, Okinawa and main-land Japan, Central Asia, South-east Asia and Australia, includ-ing four combat tours in Iraq andAfghanistan.

    Borneo said he understoodyouth and arrogance could bepowerful when combined, buthoped the students would makeuse of information he wished wasmade more explicitly clear to himat their age.

    Borneo said the students wouldultimately find themselves in thebusiness of taking and savinglives, and while some would be“closer to the pointy end of thespear” than others, they were all

    embarking on a career where baddecisions can get people killed.

    He said those decisions also ex-tend beyond simple combat, as inhis 16 years of service, he had lostfive marines in training acci-dents, three to suicide, two todrug overdoses and 12 to off-dutyvehicle accidents.

    “I don’t say this to scare you,but to encourage you to mentallyprepare yourself for the chal-

    lenges that await,” Borneo said.“As a leader, people will look toyou to be the quiet in the storm.Know yourself, and know the re-sources that are available tohelp.”

    Borneo also stressed accounta-bility to the students, and said hewould be remiss if he did not cau-tion them directly on what hesaid were the most common pit-falls and causes of disciplinary is-sues in alcohol, drugs and sexual

    encounters.While Borneo said no one en-

    ters the armed forces expectingbad things to happen, when theydo happen, there are normallymultiple opportunities before-hand where someone could havebroken the chain of events.

    “It requires awareness andmoral courage,” Borneo said. “In-still both of those in yourselvesand in those you lead.”
