They came out in force to op-
pose a planned charter school at a
recent Voorhees Board of Educa-
tion meeting.
Voorhees has followed suit
with Cherry Hill in appealing a
decision to allow another charter
school to be located in the area.
Regis Academy would be locat-
ed in Cherry Hill and receive stu-
dents from Somerdale, Lawnside,
Cherry Hill and Voorhees. If ap-
proved, it would cost Voorhees
$727,000 a year, officials said.
Irene Afek, coordinator of ele-
mentary programs in Voorhees,
said there is a bill in the state Sen-
ate that would allow for local com-
munities to either agree or dis-
agree with the establishment of a
charter school.
Presently, municipalities have
no say and the decision to create a
charter school rests with the
state.
Melissa Sable, who has two
children in the Voorhees system,
said the high schools in the area
have a 95 percent rate of kids
going to college and that such a
high-performing district doesnt
need a charter school.
Sable said the charter school
will take away programs and cre-
ate bigger class sizes.
The Voorhees Parental Advoca-
cy Group has a page on Facebook
to share information about the
charter school situation in
Voorhees. Osage Elementary
School fifth graders Catherine
Stagliano, Ashley Pieprafitca,
and Katelyn Shinkle made a pres-
entation at the meeting showing
how the charter school would af-
fect the Voorhees district.
Its not very good for our
schools because a lot of our pro-
grams will be cut and it will make
our schools not as great as they
are now, Stagliano said.
Theres nothing wrong with
them right now so if its not bro-

Residents vocal at Voorhees
BOE meeting against
proposed charter school
By SEAN PATRICK MURPHY
The Voorhees Sun
Students who would have fall-
en through the cracks in
Voorhees are being given a sec-
ond chance through a pilot pro-
gram. The Eastern Learning
Academy, located in the Echelon
Village Shopping Center, is
geared toward at-risk high school
students.
Director of Special Services at
Eastern Camden County Region-
al High School Mary Mont-
gomery recognized some students
were not motivated at school and
were failing, and so she developed
the idea to reach out to them.
Our students are bright and
we needed to find a way that they
would come in and they would
feel successful, Montgomery
said. So the academy, which is
part of the Eastern system, was
created.
The academy has 14 students,
two teachers, a social worker, a
job coach and a classroom assis-
tant. Montgomery said the inter-
est of most of the students is to
graduate and get a job.
Students have academics in the
morning and go into the commu-
nity to work in the afternoon.
Businesses such as Virtua Hos-
pital, a local dry cleaner and a fit-
ness center have partnered with
the academy to provide employ-
ment opportunities for the stu-
dents. The job coach shadows
them at work and provides train-
ing. While the students start off
unpaid some are now being of-
fered paid positions.

At-risk students get second chance

O
dds are that at some point in
your life you placed a bet on a
sporting event. It might have
been a big-time wager while visiting
Vegas. It might have been an office
March Madness entry.
The point is, betting on sporting
events is a part of our culture, and try-
ing to prohibit it brings back memo-
ries of Prohibition.
New Jersey residents want the op-
portunity to bet on sports. Or at least
the opportunity to bet on them legally,
as they already are betting on sports.
They said so in this months general
election.
Problem is, New Jersey missed the
boat years ago when the door closed
on legalized sports betting. Now the
state faces a myriad of hoops to jump
through before residents can legally
bet on hoops action.
Or so thats what a lot of people
think. We think differently. We think
the Garden State will get sports bet-
ting sooner rather than later, and
heres why:
First, millions of dollars are on the
table. Dollars that are not being taxed
because the wagering is taking place
out of the U.S. or illegally.
Second, government needs money.
All governments need money.
Third, eventually the politicians are
going to put these two things together
and realize that legalized sports bet-
ting simply makes sense. And when
that finally happens things will move
quickly. A simple decision that the
1991 law banning sports betting in
most states is unconstitutional clears
the way.
Sports betting wont solve all of the
states woes. But it will generate addi-
tional revenue and give Atlantic City
casinos a shot in the arm. Lets flex
some political muscle and get this
done.
Sports wagering a good bet
Hurdles will be overcome in due time
Bet on it
Government needs money. Sports
betting generates money. Need we
say more?

SOPA, Corzine, teachers and black women
Conference reflects on beauty
of African-American women
On Saturday, Nov. 12, the Southern
Burlington County NAACP Women in the
NAACP Committee Presented: ENOUGH!
A Reflection on the Concept of Beauty
Among African-American Women.
Ken Gordon, president of the Southern
Burlington County NAACP, was driving in
his car one day when he heard an article
being discussed on the radio. Satoshi
Kanazawa wrote an article entitled, Why
Are Black Women Rated Less Physically
Attractive Than Other Women, But Black
Men Are Rated Better Looking Than Other
Men? which was published in Psychology
Today.
Ken was offended by this idea and even
more upset that the usual black repre-
sentatives did not speak out on this issue
and defend black women.

The invisible work of a teacher
No one believes all the extra work teach-
ers have to do after school. So dozens of in-
structors from Gloucester and Salem coun-
ties did their homework in public Thurs-
day, according to the Gloucester County
Times.
Teachers took all the student essays,
projects and homework they normally had
to grade at home and worked on them in-
stead at the Deptford Mall food court.
Barry Lank
SOPA needs to be
stopped Now!
As an extreme, cant-live-without-it user
of the Internet, I get angry any time any-
one tries to police or patrol what I love so
much.
The Internet is a magnificent place
where I can obtain or share whatever I
want with whomever I want wherever I
want (for the low monthly price of $59.99
per month).
My loyalty to this free enterprise
makes me almost blind to any stiff that
says the Internet needs to be regulated in
any fashion which is why I utterly, and
absolutely, hate everything about the Stop
Internet Piracy Act (SOPA) thats current-
ly being debated in the House of Represen-
tatives.

The Bloom Organization, a
leading commercial industrial
real estate development firm in
South Jersey, has initiated its an-
nual food drive in support of the
Food Bank of South Jersey. From
now through Dec. 15, tenants of
Bloom Court at 1300 Route 73 and
Plaza 73 at 1317 Route 73 have
been donating non-perishable
food items, including canned veg-
etables, cereal and pasta.
Last year, the firm collected
nearly 1,000 pounds of food and
looks to double the donation for
2011 as part of the food banks
mission to provide an immediate
solution by distributing food to
needy people, teaching them to
eat nutritiously and helping them
to find sustainable ways to im-
prove their lives.
It is often overlooked that
hunger exists right here in our

H&R Block announces six of its offices throughout South
Jersey will be designated drop-
off locations for the U.S. Ma-

son.
New, unwrapped toys can be
donated at the locations during
business hours through Dec. 22.
We not only work in this
community, but we live here as
well, said Debra Watson, dis-
trict manager for H&R Block.
H&R Block is proud to partici-
pate in the Toys for Tots pro-
gram this year to help benefit
children.
She further noted, just as tax-
payers should consider their
tax situation throughout the
year, H&R Blocks associates
recognize that charitable or-
ganizations need support all
year long.
The following is designated

Its saddening to see that we

The presentation consisted of
pictures of students doing activi-
ties, letters, quotes, and a chart
from a Stanford University study
showing charter schools typically
score at the same level or below of
public schools. Voorhees Town-
ship Committeeman Joe Lovallo
said that, while charter schools
have their place in other areas,
one is not needed in Voorhees.
Voorhees Township is defi-
nitely not the place for a charter
school, he said, noting he has
found one of the main reasons
people move to Voorhees is the
schools.
Afek said the turnout at the
meeting was a good sign.
I think it shows that the com-
munity is pretty monolithic in
their response and theres a sense
of unity that this is a great school
district, Afek said, noting the
support is very overwhelming
and gratifying.
She said the effort is not a
sprint but a marathon and that
the board has been very active
and very involved.
I think they are really united
behind this, Afek said.
Voorhees School Board Attor-
ney Howard Mendelson said he
has no idea when the decision on
the appeal will be rendered.
Were at the very, very begin-
ning stages, he said.

tember, the school teaches high
school freshmen to seniors.
It was a dream, Montgomery
said, noting she brought it to the
attention of Superintendent of
Schools Dr. Harold Melleby, the
school board and showed it to
teachers.
She said they looked at all stu-
dents and chose some to learn ac-
ademics and vocational work
without the distractions of a tra-
ditional high school.
You walk in here at any time
and the students are engaged,
Montgomery said. Our students
have been so successful that we
are hopeful and confident that its
a program that can continue.
Chris Butler, who teaches Eng-
lish and history, has been a
teacher at Eastern Camden Coun-
ty Regional High School.
I think weve seen the kids
blossom here, he said. Compar-
ing them last year to this year I
think its a 180 degree change.
Joelle Chiappine, a teacher for
18 years, also taught at Eastern.
Dr. Montgomery really fought
for this program and it wouldnt
be here if it werent for the belief
in us and the students to make it a
success, Chiappine said. I think
its been a very positive experi-
ence for both the teachers and the
students.
I think that their attendance
and their academics have defi-
nitely improved based on how it
was last year and Im hoping that
it can grow, she added.
Chiappine said she has worked
with at-risk students in the past
and found they need to be able to
trust and be accepted by adults.
Job coach Robin Heckman
helps students with their re-
sumes and fosters self confidence
and self worth while helping
them land jobs in the area.
Were using the community
around us as our classroom, he
said. Four students now have pay-
ing jobs as a result.
Britta Dekluyver, a social work-
er, said some students start off
unmotivated and angry but come
around over time.
This is the perfect setting for
students with emotional and be-
havioral concerns as well as aca-
demic concerns, she said.
Jack Cargen, instructional
aide at the school, said the most
difficult part is connecting with
students.
Sometimes they have a hard
shell, he said. Sometimes its
tough to crack but deep down in-
side I think theyre really nice
kids.
Montgomery said one reason
for the schools success is the fac-
ultys commitment to the stu-
dents. The success of this pro-
gram is really due to the staff and
the way they believe in the stu-
dents; theyre the best, she said.
If you believe in someone, any-
things possible.

GOING OUT

Closing Our Pennsauken Store!
As our school districts begin
planning for the 2012-2013 school
year, we face a new budgetary
challenge a requirement to set
aside a combined $ 2.73 million
from our district budgets to sup-
port a charter school approved by
the NJ Department of Education.
Last spring, in response to the
application from the Regis Acade-
my Charter School, each of our
districts submitted letters to the
DOE outlining specific areas of
concern. First and foremost, we
asked, where is the educational
need for a charter school in com-
munities that are well served by
their existing public schools?
Suburban charter schools are a
relatively new phenomenon in
South Jersey, but the experiences
of school districts in other parts
of the state should raise red flags
for our residents. In suburban
school districts, funding for pub-
lic education comes primarily
from local property taxes. (Urban
districts, by contrast, receive
most of their funding in state
aid.) Since funding for charter
schools comes out of the budgets
of the sending districts, the
cost of funding suburban charter
schools is borne largely by the
taxpayers in those communities.
Yet local taxpayers have no say in
whether a charter school can
open in or draw students from
their district.
Across the United States, 90
percent of all charter school au-
thorizers are local. But in New
Jersey, the DOE has absolute au-
thority on charter approvals. The
DOE farms out portions of the ap-
plication review process to out-
side reviewers and only recently
disclosed the names and qualifi-
cations of the reviewers; accord-
ing to published reports, most are
national or state charter school
educators and advocates. The
DOE does not publicly release re-
views of charter applications; in
fact, it denied our request, made
under the NJ Open Public
Records law, for the Regis Acade-
my reviews.
The process for funding char-
ter schools is as flawed as the ap-
proval process. As sending dis-
tricts for Regis Academy, each of
our school districts will receive a
payment schedule based on en-
rollment projections developed by
the charter school. In its first year
of operation, Regis Academy is
projecting that it will draw 169
students from Cherry Hill, 63 stu-
dents from Voorhees, and 12 stu-
dents from Somerdale.
Our payments to the charter
school will begin in July 2012. If
actual enrollments are below pro-
jected numbers, the payment
schedule eventually will be ad-
justed, but by the time the enroll-
ments are reconciled, we will be
well into the 2012-2013 school year
and the damage to our budgets
will have been done.
How so? School districts are
subject to a state-mandated budg-
et growth cap of 2 percent. The
amount we must set aside for this
charter school ranges from 64
percent to more than 160 percent
of the amount our budgets are al-
lowed to grow next year.
There are hidden costs as well.
Sending districts must pay to

transport students to the charter
school or provide aid in lieu of
transportation in accordance
with state guidelines. Sending
districts will also be responsible
for conducting any residency in-
vestigations that may be neces-
sary to ensure that charter school
students who claim to live in our
towns are, in fact, our own.
In light of all this, it is particu-
larly disheartening that Regis
Academys budget earmarks
more than $594,000 for adminis-
trative expenses more than 21
percent of the amount the char-
ter school will be receiving from
taxpayers in our communities.
In an era when school districts
and municipalities are urged to
share services and identify cost
efficiencies, we have very serious
concerns about the creation of a
charter school that will duplicate
services, increase administrative
costs, and divert resources from
our successful public schools.
We encourage our residents to
join us as we appeal the approval
of this charter school. We also
call on our legislators to fix New
Jerseys broken charter school
law and bring local control to the
charter school approval process.

They work hard to keep our com-
munity safe and to allow our fam-
ilies to sleep peacefully at night.
In addition to their service
while on duty, our police are ac-

while off duty.
For the past decade, they have
sponsored a holiday fund drive to
help bring smiles to the faces of
deserving local families.
This year is no exception.
Several deserving area families
are chosen to benefit from this
wonderful cause.
The police will provide the
family with toys, clothes, food,
and gift cards.
If you are aware of a family
who might be deserving of such a
gesture during this holiday sea-
son, please contact Stephanie
Fowler of our police department
at 882-1162.
Donations can be made in per-
son or by mail to the Voorhees Po-

Established in 1985, the MAME
Awards program recognizes
league members for superior
work in customer service, design,
building, merchandising and the
most creative advertising and
marketing efforts used to pro-
mote southern New Jerseys
newest neighborhoods. The
Builders League presented nearly
100 awards ranging from the best
black and white logo for a com-
munity to the Commitment to Ex-
cellence Awards. A resident of
Moorestown, Hovnanian has
been a steadfast supporter of land
stewardship and Green building
strategies in home building, en-
couraging his staff members to
earn nationally-recognized certi-
fications and become involved in
industry issues on the local, re-
gional and national levels.
When his company celebrated
its 40th anniversary, Hovnanian
was asked what it meant to be a
homebuilder. He described the
profession in terms of what it
means for buyers.
Think about a home for a mo-
ment, not a house, but a home. Its
not semantics, he said. A home
is where a young couple starts
out. A home is where a family be-
gins to blossom, where gradua-
tions take place, where wedding
take place, and where grandchil-
dren come to visit. When you feel
secure the way you do in a home,
more so than any other place,
youre home. You dont feel as se-
cure in a car. You dont feel as se-
cure in a shopping mall. In your
home you have a sense of securi-
ty that is unsurpassed. To be in
that industry and to be able to
build homes for people is an ex-
traordinary opportunity. We are
honored to be in this business.
Hovnanian is a nationally-rec-
ognized speaker on homebuilding
and marketing strategies. He has
served as the leagues vice presi-
dent of state affairs and as presi-
dent of the sales and marketing
council. He also served as presi-
dent of the New Jersey Builders
Association and on the National
Association of Homebuilders
Board of Directors.

Commitment to Excellence
award, which recognizes home-
builders in the league that
demonstrate outstanding cus-
tomer service and quality as per-
ceived by home buyers. The annu-
al awards are based on the results
of a survey mailed annually to
new home owners.
The survey gauges the home
builders quality of workman-
ship, customer relations, service
after the sales and total customer
satisfaction level obtained. It also
provides valuable feedback to
builder members who are inter-
ested in monitoring and upgrad-
ing customer service and quality
service.
Mersky was honored with the
Associates of the Year Award for
his commitment and volunteer
work within the housing indus-
try. His expertise on the technical
issues related to septic systems
and engineering in southern New
Jersey has been an invaluable re-
source to the leagues action com-
mittee, which reviews critical
housing industry issues each
month. His company has de-
signed more than 10,000 new sep-
tic systems throughout the re-
gion. A member of the league
since 1999, Mersky is an active
member of the BLSJ Board of Di-
rectors and several committees.
He is also a representative of the
NJBA Environmental and
Pinelands committees.
The leagues Remodeler of the
Year Award recognizes a Builders
League member who has made a
significant impact to the remodel-
ing industry on a local, regional,
or national level through good
business practices, industry-ac-
tivism, and association and com-
munity service. Evans, a resident
of Collingswood, has taken an ac-
tive role in raising the profile of
the leagues remodelers council
with potential new members and
the public. He was instrumental
in helping the New Jersey Re-
modelers Association merge into
the Builders League in 2010 and
served as the first president of
the leagues remodelers c ouncil.
He helped create a remodeling
speakers bureau for the League
and has supported various chari-
table projects throughout south-
ern New Jersey and is the first
Builders League Remodeler to
earn the National Association of
Home Builders Certified Aging
in Place designation.
