District teachers
talk contracts

Thanksgiving for the community

After 128 days working without contracts,

Cherry Hill Education Association
members bring concerns to BOE meeting
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun

MIKE MONOSTRA/The Sun

State Sen. Jim Beach presents Cherry Hill resident Rica Gindin with a Thanksgiving meal from the
Betsy and Peter Fischer Food Pantry. Thanksgiving meals were provided to a number of families in
Cherry Hill as part of the pantrys Thanksgiving Community Cooking Project. The food was purchased and prepared by Congregation Beth El in Voorhees and Temple Beth Shalom in Cherry Hill.

As of the Nov. 25 meeting of

the Cherry Hill Board of Education, it had been 128 days that
teachers in the district had been
working without a contract.
Those who entered the Nov. 25
meeting unaware of that information might have had a better
grasp on it before the meetings
close, as it was repeated by
dozens of teachers from the Cherry Hill Education Association
who filled the seats and also took
to the walls, floor, doorway and
hallway outside the board meeting room.
Of those educators in attendance, many chose to make their
presence known on the record by
speaking during the public discussion portion of the meeting,
which lasted nearly an hour.
A running theme was the
teachers chose not to praise their
own individual work, but instead
extolled the virtues and work of
their colleagues, some of whom
were present at the meeting and
many who were not, but all of

whom they said loved working

with and for the children of Cherry Hill.
Those who spoke shared stories of teachers working through
lunch, being at school buildings
hours before and after school,
grading papers on nights and
weekends, attending school functions regardless of the time of
night or day of the week, missing
time with their own children to
help their students, spending
their own money on classroom
supplies and much more.
CHEA
president
Martin
Sharofksy was the last to speak
and said he was there representing approximately 1,000 teachers
and more than 200 others from
secretaries to custodians to support staff.
Sharofksy said the group went
to the meeting because he
thought it was time to let the
board see all the faces of whom
it was actually negotiating with,
and while negotiations have not
been adversarial, it was time for a
fair and equitable contract.

Take a book, leave a book

Little Free Libraries open at Barclay Farmstead, Croft Farm
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
Frequent visitors to Barclay
Farmstead and Croft Farm may
have noticed the appearance of a
colorful, birdhouse-like structure
in the last couple of weeks.
However, these little houses
werent constructed to house
birds. They were constructed to
house books.
The library and Cherry Hill
Township have teamed up to create Little Free Libraries, small
boxes where visitors can take a
book for free. Boxes are set up at

Barclay Farmstead and Croft

Farm. A third box will be erected
at Old Orchard Park in the coming weeks.
This new program is part of a
national system of Little Free Libraries. It operates separately
from the Cherry Hill Public Library system of books and allows
anyone, even non-residents, to
take out a book.
The tagline is take a book,
leave a book and thats what we
want to do, said Bridget Palmer,
director of communications for
Cherry Hill Township.
The idea for Little Free Li-

braries came from Megan Brown,

the townships director of recreation. She saw one of the libraries at a playground in Florida
and thought it would be perfect
for Cherry Hill.
We just sat in the playground
looking at a couple of books,
Brown said.
Brown brought the idea for the
program to the library, which immediately jumped on board. It
used some of its donations to initially stock the Little Free Libraries.
please see LOCAL, page 5

Local artists

LOCAL
Continued from page 4
The township and library hope
the boxes will be self-sustaining.
The community is encouraged to
place its own books in the little libraries in exchange for taking a
book.
We want to make sure there
are books in there. Were hoping
that the public, if they take a
book, will eventually bring one
back, said Katie Hardesty, the librarys public relations director.
Hardesty said the boxes are not
drop offs for books in the library
system. They are simply books
patrons can grab to read at a park
or bring home. A library card is
not needed to use the Little Free

Libraries.
Volunteers will check the boxes
every few weeks to make sure
they remain stocked. The library
is also accepting donations of
books.
To design the boxes, the library
commissioned local artists Bob
Minnick and Tracy Steele. Minnick works for the library, and
Steeles work was featured at the
library in the past.
They donated not only their
time and talent, but all the materials, Hardesty said.
Each box has its own look and
reflects the Cherry Hill community. For example, Barclays box includes the arched windows at the
librarys building.

Sen. Codeys proposal for retail store hours on Thanksgiving not good enough
Dan McDonough Jr.

amily comes first. That is one

of the mantras of our company.
It is one of the reasons why a
lot of us who have been around these
halls for awhile enjoy working here so
much. In a sense, family comes first
has made this company a second family for many us.
This time of year, family is on everyones mind even more. Thanksgiving
was just last week, and Christmas,
Hanukkah and New Years are a few
weeks away.
We all take a break from our work
on these days, and we all pitch in for
each other when need be so we can be
with our families during these times
of celebration.
Generally speaking, we support any
and all measures that protect families
and help them take the time they need
to enjoy whats most important in life.

Your thoughts
What are your thoughts on banning retail
stores from opening before a certain time
on Thanksgiving? Share your thoughts on
this, and other topics, through a letter to
the editor.

But we dont support state Sen.

Richard Codeys proposal to bar retail
stores from opening before 9 p.m. on
Thanksgiving at least not as it is
currently constructed.
Its not that we support extending
Black Friday deals to earlier in the
week, and encouraging lines of people
to rush away from their families to
snatch up a limited-time-only, limitedstock-available blockbuster sale.
Its just that we dont support prioritizing one persons family over another, and thats exactly what this propos-

al does.
Codey says barring retail stores
from opening before 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving would protect low-income
workers from being torn from their
families during the holiday.
Apparently, though, he doesnt care
too much about low-income workers
who have to show up for work at gas
stations and convenience stores on
that day just the ones who work in
our states glitzy malls and outlets.
And he also doesnt seem interested in
protecting families of non-low-income
workers, such as journalists who
cover high school football games on
Turkey Day.
If Codey wants to protect families,
then he should write a bill that does
just that, not one that only protects
certain families while obviously ignoring others.

Council approves bond ordinances on first reading

Ordinances for 2015 capital improvements up for second reading, public hearing Dec. 8
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
Cherry Hill Township is preparing to
move forward with its capital improvement plan for 2015 after council passed a
pair of bond ordinances on first reading at
last weeks meeting.
The first bond ordinance appropriates
$4.9 million for facility and municipal park
upgrades. The money also funds technology improvements and vehicle upgrades.
The second appropriates $3.55 million
for the townships road maintenance program.
All projects listed in the ordinance were
included in the townships fiscal year 2015
budget approved in September.

This is just taking the entire capital

plan and putting it into bond ordinances,
township CFO Michelle Samalonis said.
A significant portion of the upgrades
listed in the first ordinance revolves
around upgrades for the public works and
police departments. A little more than $1.8
million is being appropriated for a 14-foot
dump truck, two mowers, a trailer and new
trash and recycling containers at the public works facility.
The police department will receive almost $1.7 million for radio replacement, 91-1 emergency equipment and audio and
video equipment.
Director of communication Bridget
Palmer said the ordinance allows the township to borrow money if needed to com-

plete the projects. Last year, Cherry Hill

was able to complete its capital improvements without borrowing money.
The bond ordinances will be up for second reading and a public hearing on Dec. 8.
In other news:
Council approved four separate grants
to help offset various police department
costs, three of which helped to pay for additional personnel costs. The police department received $41,600 as part of a DWI
crackdown enforcement grant, allowing
for extra DWI patrols and checkpoints.
The police department also received a
$10,733 Justice Assistance Grant to help
with enforcement in areas where it is most

East boys cross country wins Group IV,

finishes third in Meet of Champions
By JOHN HAPP
Special to The Sun
The State Group Championships are contested every fall
on the second weekend in November. However, championships are
won during the summer when the
runners and teams put in countless hours and miles to prepare
for that one day. That is certainly
true for this years Cherry Hill
East Boys cross country team,
which won its first State Group
IV Championship. To win a state
championship really takes a complete team effort, and the East
runners worked very hard all
summer as a team so that they
each would be at their best when
it mattered most.
East was led by junior Aaron
Groff with a time of 15:55 and a
second-place finish, which is the
best time and place by an East
runner since at least 2004. He is
the first East runner to break the
16-minute mark on the iconic
Holmdel course that is both very
hilly and challenging and features a section of the course
known simply as the bowl.
Groff was closely followed by two
seniors, Dan Helfand finished
10th in a time of 16:18 and Christian Mele 14th in a time of 16:27.
Helfand took 37 seconds off his
time from last year, and Mele had
a more impressive 42-second improvement. Also pointing for
East were sophomore Josh Dillion and junior Isaiah Jean-Baptiste. The times of Easts top five
runners all put them in the top 10
all-time at East for all grades in a
state final. Completing Easts first
state championship team were
sophomore Marc Meltzer and junior Cole Parsons.
Easts average time of 16:26
was the fastest by any Group IV
school in the state finals since
2003 when Mainland was one second faster at 16:25. The teams
score of 73 was the third best in
the last 12 years beaten only by
West Windsor Plainsboro Souths
score of 64 in 2012 and Mainlands
54 in 2003.
How deep is the talent on this
years team? In a typical varsity

race a team can field up to seven

runners. This year, East put an
amazing eight runners on the allOlympic Conference team. Earning first team honors were
Helfand, Mele, Groff and Dillon
and earning second team honors
were senior Jeff Braun, JeanBaptiste, Parsons and Meltzer.
This was the second consecutive
year for Helfand, Mele and Groff.
South Jersey schools had a
very good day winning three of
the four group finals. Besides
Easts Group IV win, Haddon
Township won Group I and Haddonfield won Group II. In addition, Kingsway, which finished

second to East in the South Jersey Group Sectional, again finished second and also earned a
place in the Meet of Champions.
This is the first time two schools
from South Jersey finished this
high in the group since 2009 when
Toms River North finished third
and Southern finished fifth.
The Meet of Champions features the top three teams from the
six groups, plus two extra wildcard teams. East showed why it
earned a preseason national
ranking by finishing third, which
is the best finish by any South

needed.
Finally, the department received a $60,000 Safe and Secure
Communities grant to help pay
for traffic and community resource officers.
They deal with a lot of community outreach in the high
schools, Police Chief William
Monaghan said.
Cars will no longer be able to
park northbound on Chapel Avenue near Kilmer Elementary
School during school hours after
council passed a new ordinance.
Parking is prohibited on the

street between Forge Lane and

Bellows Lane between 8 a.m. and
4 p.m.
During the first reading of the
ordinance, Monaghan said the
change was made after consulting
with the school district and members of the community.
We had some safety concerns, Monaghan said. So there
was some re-routing of the vehicles at Kilmer School. It eliminated the need to park along Chapel
Avenue.
The time has changed for the
next Cherry Hill Township council meeting. The meeting on Dec.
8 was moved up to 5:30 p.m. at
town hall. The townships holiday
lighting ceremony will follow the
meeting at 6:30 p.m. at the Carmen Tilelli Community Center.

Klaus said the last boom in the

market was in 2006, and the
sharpest drop in the local market
was rather immediate.
We had the boom and then we
had the drop. It clearly was a perfect graph, she said. Were talking general South Jersey,
not most specifically this area. One
of the things I
would have to say,
were very fortunate in
the market were in
right here.
According to Dave

Owning a home has long been

part of the American dream, that
tangible, visual proof of hard
work and dedication.
Less than a decade ago, this
dream became a reality for many
across the nation. Interest rates
were at historic lows, banks were
eager to offer home loans to most
anyone who came looking, and the
real estate market was booming.
But when the bottom dropped
out during

the recession, that facet of the

American dream shifted. Unemployment rates rose, credit scores
faltered and homes were lost,
whether to foreclosures or from
downsizing to make ends meet.
Lessons were learned from
both the real estate boom and the
following crash, and as the market has slowly recovered during
the past two years, local real estate professionals are optimistic.
It was a most interesting bubble, Alyce Klaus, broker/sales
representative with Weichert Realtors Moorestown, said. We really have no expectations in our
industry that well see that again.
I think that we learned a lot from
the boom, and I think that, overall, the housing industry has
taken more positive measures to create more stability.

IN THOUSANDS

The Sun

IN THOUSANDS

By KRISTEN DOWD

Vegas, California where you

heard all the horror stories of
foreclosures and bankruptcies
theyve really bounced back, but
they were so far down percentagewise, Lewis said. This area of
the country tends to be a little
more stable.
Lewis, who is a past president
of the Burlington Camden County Association of Realtors and
board member of the New Jersey
Association of Realtors, saw the

height of the market in 2007, with

average home sale prices at
$325,000 in Burlington County
and $232,000 in Camden County.
He said the sales declined first,
and then the prices started to
drop.
It was relatively gradual until
about 2008, when the financial crisis hit, he explained. It basically bounced along the bottom for a
couple years until the summer
of 2012, it started to pick back up

again.
Anne E. Koons, sales associate
with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach, Realtors,
in Cherry Hill, saw the decline in
the market later.
I didnt see it burst until the
end of 2009, Koons said, attributing this to the fact that she sells a
lot of high-end homes. And then,
of course, it was definitely (a
please see REALTORS, page 13

DEC. 39, 2014 THE CHERRY HILL SUN 13

Realtors report market recovery is slow but steady

REALTORS
Continued from page 12

downturn) in 2010 and 2011.

Koons said homes more than
$600,000 dipped about 25 percent,
and homes listed for more than a
million dollars dipped between 30
percent and 35 percent.

Why did the market crash?

Why the real estate market
tanked is not so much up for debate clearly, the economic crisis
directly impacted the market
but pinpointing exactly what happened isnt easy.
I think the banking system
was, perhaps, overly generous.
And I think America as a whole
most people invest in housing
with this eternal optimism. Its a
tough adjustment to that monthly
payment, but everyone looks to
moving up in their job, salary increases, Klaus said. With so
many small businesses that
closed and downsizing of big
companies, I think that was a lot
of shock there. People had positioned themselves with that optimism and werent anticipating or
prepared financially for those periods of unemployment. That was
a good deal of it.
Koons also said the problem
started during the boom.
The prices of homes were just
inflating for no reason, she said.
Ill never forget, I sold a house in
05 for $400,000, and a year and a
half or two years later, I sold the
same house for $500,000. The people hadnt done anything, but it
was supply and demand. They
could get (the price), and they got
it.
I couldnt understand why
there would be so much growth
when there really was nothing
done to justify it.
Angela Barnshaw, CEO of Haddonfield real estate agency
Agent06, said the fault of the market crash fell not just on the
lenders, but on the real estate industry as well.
It was an unregulated mortgage and real estate industry
not just mortgage, she said. Its

about both industries. The mortgage industry got all of the

spankings, and the real estate industry went virtually unscathed.
It was this, she said, combined
with an uneducated consumer
that caused the crash.

The current market

Comparing sale prices since
the market began to recover
shows a steady, if gradual, improvement.
During the recession, Burlington County saw the lowest average settled price in February 2013,
at $217,000. Camden Countys lowest month was January 2013, at
$168,000.
In December 2013, the average
sales price of homes in Burlington County had increased to
$238,694. In Camden County, it
was $186,333.
In June of this year, those
prices reached $267,173 in
Burlington County and $206,974
in Camden County. The first half
of 2014 saw an average sales price
of $240,232 in Burlington County
and $194,213 in Camden County.
In October, the average sales
price was $196,500 in Burlington
County and $156,000 in Camden
County. There was an increase in
units sold for both counties;
Burlington County saw an approximate 3 percent increase,
while Camden County saw about
5 percent.

REAL ESTATE SERIES

This is part one of a three-part
series on the local real estate
market. Part two next week will
focus on the markets buyers.
Local real estate agents are
looking forward to this sales
trend continuing, and they can
help drive the market by the advice they give to consumers.
If we overinflate a price, we
arent doing anybody any favors,
Klaus said. The role that (Realtors) play, its earning trust and
respect from buyers and sellers.
Our job is to educate them on the
current market conditions and to
deal honestly with them. You
cant tell people what they want to
hear Its in the best interest of
everybody to be factual, correct
and honest when dealing with a
property.
Lewis said its important for
people to know home sales are improving.
Were trying to build confidence with folks, educate them
that its just a business cycle,
Lewis said, and that things will
be getting better.

Recovering the market

When consumers are educated
and honest about what they can
afford, the market will continue
to rebuild, Barnshaw said.
Do the math, look at your

budget, be honest and then decide, OK, they said based on this
Im approved up to this, but because Im looking at the whole
picture, because I as the consumer only know the whole picture, I know I can only spend up
to this point, Barnshaw explained. Its not about what
youre
comfortable
doing.
You need to look at the whole picture.
Building consumer confidence
appears to be key in recovering
the real estate market, and as the
economy stabilizes, that confidence comes back.
I think, in at least the last two
years, we have begun to see very
conservative, healthy and steady

recovery, Klaus said. Your consumer confidence has increased,

and unemployment numbers
have improved. That has a definite mark on the publics choice
to come back and re-enter, to look
for property.
Lewis said there is a lot of
pent-up demand for housing, and
that will improve the market.
The economy is slowly getting
better and consumer confidence
is increasing, Lewis said. Its
going to take awhile for the prices
to come back, at least to the precrash levels. Its going to take a
couple more years. The good sign
is inventory is getting scarce, and
that usually causes prices to
rise.

Continued from page 1
The groups last two-year contract expired on June 30.
Our decision was to be positive, Sharofksy said. This is not
an adversarial negotiation. It has
not been at all. We respect the
board of education, and theyve
shown us the respect that goes
along with it, but I believe very
strongly they need to know who
were talking about.

Sharofksy said he believed the

two sides had not yet reached a
contract because of certain
sticking points that always
arise in negotiations, such as
salaries and health benefits, but
there were also other unresolved
issues that been on the negotiating agenda for several years.
Its not always money sometimes, Sharofksy said. Its
change of title, movement from
one specific to another specific.
Weve been working on stipends,
and stipends havent changed
now in 10 years. Theyve been at
the same amount and they
havent gone up or made any type
of changes whatsoever.
Sharofksy said he was fearful
those little things would be lost
if a mediator is brought into the
negations, which he said he regrets happening with the groups
last contract, and is what is scheduled to happen again at the next
meeting between the two sides on

Dec. 15.
Ultimately, Sharofksy said he
also hopes the community will
now start asking questions about
the lack of a contract.
Parents should ask and parents should know, because a lot of
the community doesnt know that
were working without a contract,
and I really believe they need to
know, Sharofksy said.
After the board closed public
discussion, the only board member to comment regarding the
teachers comments was board
president Kathy Judge, who said
the boards negotiating team was
looking forward to the next meeting with the CHEA.
Thank you very much, and before I motion to adjourn, I just
want to state that the negotiating
team of the board is looking forward to our next meeting thats
scheduled for Dec. 15, and thank
you for your time this evening,
Judge said.

Success with Learning Disorders

By Carlo B. Melini, MD FAAP
Website - www.CarloBMeliniMD.com
All students need success. It has been said that success is like vitamins, we all need some. Some
students however fail to achieve the success they deserve. Subtle and sometimes overt differences in
learning patterns can create havoc for a student in school. The most common neurodevelopmental
dysfunction involves the Attention System. This is the Chief Executive Officer of the brain. It directs
by promoting, inhibiting, assisting and controlling all that we learn, remember, listen to and produce.
No one has inattention for everything. Rather, it is inattention for those things that are boring or difficult to understand. On the other hand, attention for things we really enjoy and care about may never
be stronger. So it is really a misnomer to call someone Attention Deficit; rather it should be labeled
Misdirected Attention.
Often, individuals with this affliction are extremely creative and can become very successful adults
when they can practice their specialty- do what they like. Although traditional past research did not
incriminate sugar and foods as causative of inattention or increased activity, more recent research suggests that the artificial dyes and preservatives, found in many foods today, can worsen the condition,
and should be avoided. Recent research confirms that exercise can be especially beneficial in improving
attention. Sitting still all day hinders the ability to sustain attention. Schools that provide regular exercise at the beginning of the day and throughout the day have students with very little Attention
Deficit!
Associated with at least 90% of students with attentional issues are learning differences. They may
involve sequencing, fine motor, language, organization or memory. They may be subtle and not readily
recognized without appropriate evaluations. These are students with normal to gifted intelligence; yet,
if not recognized and by-passed early, may fail to achieve commensurate with their intelligence. The
three main categories of learning disorders include: Dyslexia (Reading) 80% Dyscalculia (Math) 10%
and Dysgraphia (Writing) 10%. Each, if recognized early, can be mastered and overcome!
Attending school heralds the end of the protection and nurture of home life. During a typical day
at school, students experience successes and failures, many resulting in future feelings of self-worth
and self-esteem. Lets not blame students as lazy unmotivated or immature. Rather, lets make
sure they are properly evaluated where strengths and weaknesses in the various domains needed for
learning are determined. Only then will we stop the cycle of failure and lack of success that plague too
many students.
(The author is a Developmental-Behavioral pediatrician, who specializes in Learning and Behavior
