The first day of school can
make even veteran students a
bit nervous. And, when youre
headed for your first day at a new
school, in a new grade, the anxi-
ety can be even more intense.
So, for those children about to
enter kindergarten, middle
school, high school and even col-
lege, being prepared and estab-
lishing a line of communication
are critical.
According to some experts, the
best way to help children and
young adults transition from one
school to another is to keep lines
of communication open with par-
ents.
Anne Blair, a clinical social
worker from Voorhees, said
preparation is key to any success-
ful transition.
The parents must ensure that
they allow their child enough
time to fully understand the tran-
sition that will take place, and
how that transition may look for
them, Blair said. This provides
the child an opportunity to ask
questions, tour their new school,
meet their new teachers, and be-
come familiar with the physical
surroundings they will be re-
quired to function in.
She also said staying in touch
is critical to address any transi-
tion issues a student is having.
Establishing a line of commu-
nication with the appropriate
school personnel and parents is
essential in assisting a struggling
student, Blair said. This en-
ables the therapist to approach
the students issues with a team
in place at the school that can pro-

violates
OPMA
County prosecutor says
e-mail exchanges break
Open Public Meetings Act
By ROBERT LINNEHAN
The Marlton Sun
According to Burlington Coun-
ty Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi,
several members of the Evesham
Township Council did unwit-
tingly run afoul of the prohibi-
tions contained in the OPMA
(Open Public Meetings Act), ear-
lier this year. Evesham Council
members including Mayor
Randy Brown sent several e-
mails to each other in March dis-
cussing a planning board propos-
al facing the township.
However, the prosecutor also
ruled that the members would not
be fined $100 for their actions.
Bernardi said the incident would
better serve as an educational
point and warning for municipal
leaders throughout the state.
While I conclude that town-
ship officials inadvertently con-
vened a meeting for purposes of
the OPMA, I find insufficient evi-
dence of any specific intent to vi-
olate the statute warranting the
pursuit of sanctions by this of-
fice, Bernardi wrote in his deci-
sion.
The members of council came
under investigation when the
Burlington County Prosecutors
Office received a formal com-
plaint from John Paff, a well-
known Sunshine Law activbist
from North Jersey, who inquired
as to whether e-mails violated the
open public meetings act.
Upon receiving his complaint,
prosecutors office representative
Joel Bewley said the office began
the review, which started on June
28.
The complaint alleged that
members of council discussed a
possible planning board ordi-
nance that would allow Conner,
Strong and Buckelew to build a
helipad near Route 73. The com-
plaint alleged that members of
council sent several e-mails to
each other discussing the ordi-
nance and several facets of the
proposed helipad.
Brown went on record and said
the council will input the sugges-
tions made by the prosecutors of-
fice and actually go further and
be ahead of the curve when it
comes to the Open Public Meet-
ings Act.
However, he urged the state to
update the OPMA, which was cre-
ated in 1976.
The Legislature has to redraw
the 1976 Open Public Meetings
Act legislation to now include the
technology of the 21st century,

It was a typical summer meet-
ing, as members of the Evesham
Township Council wrapped up
some business at its quick regu-
larly scheduled meeting.
Members of council unani-
mously passed the second read-
ing of an ordinance which would
make minors in the township im-
mune to charges of underage con-
sumption or possession of alco-
hol if they are in several specific
situations.
If underage children are con-
suming alcohol in connection
with a religious observance, in
the presence of a parent or
guardian of legal age, calling 9-1-1
seeking aid for someone who is
suffering from the effects of alco-
hol or in need of medical care and
calling 9-1-1 to remove non-resi-
dents from private property, they
can have safe harbor from prose-
cution.
According to representatives,
the provision that allows under-
age consumption in the presence
of parents or legal guardians is
intended to take place on private
property and if the minor be-
comes intoxicated they are to re-
main on the property under the
control of their parent or
guardian.
The goal of the ordinance is to
ensure minors in distress receive
the assistance they need without
hesitating to call 9-1-1.
Underage callers will not be
charged with consumption or
possession of alcohol nor will the
person who needs medical atten-
tion.
The state created a law in 2009
which allowed municipalities to
pass these specific types of ordi-
nances.
In other township news:
n Council introduced an ordi-
nance to restructure several posi-
tions for the Evesham Township
Police Department.
Township Administrator Tom
Czerniecki said the council
agreed to eliminate a captain po-
sition to reflect just one captain
on the force, to reduce the num-
ber of corporals from six to three,
and to increase the sergeant posi-
tions by two.
No member of the police de-
partment is being eliminated
through this ordinance, he said,
just the positions. They were all
currently unoccupied and need to
be taken off the books, he said.
n Council is still considering a
proposed ordinance that was
tabled in late July which would
regulate the buying and selling of
precious metals and gems as well
as secondhand goods.
The aim of the ordinance is to
prevent the easy disposal of items
that have been obtained unlawful-
ly, as well as to deter dishonest
fencing businesses from opening
in the township.
Fencing is described as the
business of buying and selling
stolen property.
Deputy Mayor Joe Howarth
previously raised concerns that
the possible enforcement of the
ordinance would be too burden-
some on existing businesses in
Evesham Township.
He also questioned the need of
a $100 per year license fee and $25
per employee fee.

Safe-haven ordinance approved
Mosquito traps have turned up
five positive samples of West Nile
virus in four towns recently, the
Burlington County Mosquito Di-
vision has reported. The findings
set in motion plans to treat to con-
trol adult mosquitoes (weather
permitting) in all four communi-
ties. Positive samples the first of
the summer season turned up in
the vicinity of sewerage treat-
ment plants in Beverly, Evesham
and Maple Shade. Another posi-
tive finding was detected in a
rural location along County
Route 542 in Washington Town-
ship. The testing is done by State
labs. Areas within approximately
one-half mile of the sewerage
plants, and within one-half mile
of mile marker 16 on County
Route 542 (south of Green Bank),
were to be treated sometime after
6 p.m. on Thursday, July 28. Pesti-
cide is applied in a mist form by
truck.
This should serve as a re-
minder to all residents to take
every precaution against mosqui-
toes, said Burlington County
Freeholder Mary Ann OBrien,
who oversees the Health Depart-
ment.
The keys to prevention are
basic enough, she added. Use
mosquito repellent, wear long
sleeves and long pants, and try to
limit outdoor activity when mos-
quitoes are most active, during
dawn and dusk.
Residents should also clean or
remove any items on their per-
sonal property that can collect
rain or sprinkler water and serve
as a breeding ground for mosqui-
toes, such as clogged gutters, flow-
erpots, bottle caps or old car tires.
They should also completely
change water in birdbaths at least
once a week and should repair
window and door screens. Ac-
cording to County Health Officer
Robert Gogats, about one in 150
persons, or less than 1 percent of
those infected with West Nile
virus, will develop a more severe
form of the disease. The elderly
and immunocompromised are at
higher risk of more severe dis-
ease. Symptoms of the more se-
vere form of West Nile virus in-
clude severe headache, high fever,
neck stiffness, stupor, disorienta-
tion, coma, tremors, convulsions,
muscle weakness and paralysis.
However, most people exposed
to West Nile virus will not display
any symptoms and some will
have mild symptoms including
fever, headache, body aches, skin
rash and swollen lymph glands.

public meeting. The law makes
certain exceptions in cases need-
ed to protect the privacy of indi-
viduals, the safety of the public
or the effectiveness of govern-
ment in such areas as negotia-
tions or investigations.
According to the law, a first-
time violator can be fined $100.

The Marlton Sun
Does the rising mercury of
summer mean a drop in busi-
ness?
While its true that summer-
time sales do tend to dip, there are
many who say that with the right
marketing approach, that doesnt
have to be the case.
For some businesses, its the
busiest time of year, said Mark
Morgan, president of the
Moorestown Business Associa-
tion.
Each season provides unique
challenges, but with summer also
comes unique opportunities for
business owners. For the most
part, business representatives
across the area said, it all comes
down to taking advantage of in-
creased foot traffic during sum-
mer events, and, if possible, get-
ting more involved with the com-
munity.
Morgan said most of the suc-
cess for businesses at this time of
year in his area can be attributed
to summer events such as Art-
Walk or Moorestown Day.
The Moorestown Business As-
sociation sponsors ArtWalk on
the second Friday of each month
from May through September
from 6 to 9 p.m.
Shops on Main Street are en-
couraged to stay open later and
take advantage of the increased
foot traffic, Morgan said.
Compare it to First Friday in
Haddonfield, which Haddonfield
Retail Coordinator Lisa Hurd
said has become bigger and big-
ger in recent years.
They have become increasing-
ly popular, she said. It draws
people in for the arts but also to
shop and dine.
Haddonfields First Friday
events run from April through
November from 5 to 9 p.m. The
last one, Aug. 5, coincided with
Haddonfields annual sidewalk
sale, which is a longstanding tra-
dition that Hurd said attracts
huge crowds and offers great pro-
motions and buys.
In Haddonfield, we have some
of our biggest events of the year
during our summer months,
Hurd said. We just wrapped up
the Fine Art and Crafts Festival.
There were 100,000 people in town
over the course of the weekend.
She added that events like that
dont just bring people in for one
weekend.
Since we draw people in from
all over the region and beyond,
people discover the unique shops
and dining opportunities that
Haddonfield has to offer and they
come back later in the season,
she said.
We may be just a short distance
from popular destinations such
as the Jersey shore, but Hurd
pointed out that not everyone
goes to the beach for vacation.
There are people who plan stayca-
tions, and there are even some
who vacation in this area and are
looking for fun things to do.
Michael Marchitto, director of
economic development for
Voorhees Township, said summer
sales in Voorhees are actually
pretty steady compared to other
seasons. He said he believes the
economic climate is helping local
businesses because more people
are staying close to home and opt-
ing for staycations.
Marchitto, who is also the
township liaison to the Voorhees
Business Association, said any
reports he has seen show busi-
ness remains at the same level
through the summer, with just a
slight drop for some businesses.
He added that summer events
do still help sales, such as the free
Summer Twilight Series, includ-
ing musical performances and
movies, at Connolly Park.
Independence Day is a summer
event that many towns can rely
on for a boost. Over in Marlton,
approximately 35,000 people were
in town for July Fourth events,
which included a 5K in the morn-
ing, dinner and dessert from local
businesses at Cherokee High
School, and fireworks at dusk.
Sandy Student, a member of
the Marlton Business Associa-
tion, said hes hopeful that atten-
dance at Eveshams Independ-
ence Day festivities an increase
in the thousands compared to last
year is an indication of how suc-
cessful the whole summer will be
locally.
Theres a huge amount of peo-
ple who are going to the shore.
Theyre doing vacations where
they are gone for a week or two
weeks, so there could be a tenden-
cy to have a downturn, said Stu-
dent, also the chairman of the
Marlton Economic Development
Advisory Committee. The suc-
cessful merchants are the ones
who take advantage of local op-
portunities.
Theres the National Draw
Tournament for lacrosse at
Cherokee High School, for exam-
ple, which drew in 12,000 people
this year. Student said hotels in
the whole area, not just Marlton,
were sold out.
The local merchants who par-
ticipated enjoyed record sales,
Student said.
There was also a positive im-
pact on several other local busi-
nesses, such as those at The
Promenade, he added.
We have an advantage here
because theres no tax on clothing
or shoes in New Jersey, so some of
our local merchants saw an
uptick in purchases that week-
end, he said.

Several smaller events can also
add up to success.
Every Wednesday night during
the summer at The Promenade,
theres a free outdoor concert. All
four restaurants there Pizzicato,
Panera, Redstone Grill and P.F.
Changs are packed on those
nights, Student said.
Were also seeing local farm
stands that are doing great busi-
ness, Student said. People are
trying to take advantage of local
produce. As a matter of fact, (sev-
eral) restaurants in Marlton
(were) participants in the Farm
to Fork event.
Farm to Fork Week, which was
offered across South Jersey July
19 through July 25, is like Restau-
rant Week, except participating
restaurants offer four-course
meals that are made entirely of
local produce.
Taking advantage of increased
foot traffic during events is key,
but its also good for local busi-
nesses to reach out to the commu-
nity.
Student referred to local busi-
ness owners who participate in
the 5K Mayors Cup in Marlton,
which helps to promote their
business. Theres also REI, which
has always been a supporter of
the bicycle group Team Evesham.
The store also recently offered a
seminar to the public on the op-
portunities available to explore
Black Run Preserve and how to
maintain it. He pointed to
ShopRite, a supporter of the local
Yellow Ribbon Club, and Whole
Foods Market, which recently do-
nated more than $5,000 to the

vide necessary support for the
new student while at school.
Cherry Hill psychologist Dr.
Marla Deibler agreed that
parental involvement is critical to
a successful transition.
Some parents and teachers
may find themselves unable to
understand or relate to children
who have difficulty in adapting to
their changing lives because they
themselves do not recall having
such difficulties, she said. This
is all the more reason to take
greater care in learning about the
experience of the child in order to
better assist them in adjusting.
So how do parents get their
children ready for these especial-
ly trying years?
It is important for parents to
arm their children with the skills
and motivation to adapt to their
environment so that they may de-
velop healthy self-esteem, a happy
and optimistic outlook, and re-
siliency, Deibler said.
She also provided three tips for
parents: be realistic; be honest,
open, and direct; and keep an
open invitation to talk without
judgment.
Marcia Ruberg, school psychol-
ogist in Cherry Hill Public
Schools, said strong school sys-
tems involve teachers, students
and families in continuous plan-
ning to support students academ-
ic and social success in high
school and beyond.
Transition is a process, not a
single event, Ruberg said. It
starts long before the child actual-
ly makes the move, and continues
long after.
She said research indicates
that the worries of most students
fall into the realm of getting lost
in the new building, the amount
of homework they will face, and
that the academic demands will
be overwhelming.
Ruberg said there are two areas
in which parents can make a
tremendous difference prior to an
upcoming school transition: one
is social-emotional and the other
is logistical.
Socially and emotionally,
some children may view the up-
coming change, or some aspect of
it (what if my best friend is not
in my classes? I wont have any
friends the entire year!) with dis-
tress, she said. This negative
set of expectations can lead a
child to feel powerless and wor-
ried.
What parents want to do
after recognizing the feelings be-
hind the worry is to convey con-
fidence in their childs ability to
solve the problem, Ruberg
added. They can reinforce that
there are many people available
to help solve any specific problem
(remember how nice the teachers
were at middle school orienta-
tion?), remind the child of other
challenges which the child man-
aged to resolve successfully, help
to put the problem in perspective,
and informally review basic steps
of problem-solving using an ex-
ample from their own past or that
of a sibling.
The second way that a parent
can be of great help to their child
is to help them to develop systems
to manage the increased demands
of the next level of schooling, she
said.
Joe Meloche, principal at Cher-
ry Hill High School West, said en-
tering high school can be scary
for some students.
The transition from middle
school to high school brings its
own very challenging aspects for
all students, Meloche said. The
level of academic rigor and the
pure volume of work to be com-
pleted especially independently
is intensified when compared to
middle school.
High school regardless of
the school is bigger in all as-
pects size, people, work etc., he
added. When students arrive in

Student said, adding events such
as A Taste of Evesham and Ped-
dle from The Promenade are also
great chances for businesses to
get involved. In a national down-
town, here are companies that
gear up and promote business.
For the really small mom-and-
pop shops, you might have to take
a different approach in how you
promote yourself, especially
when business gets slow, Student
said. The best thing these busi-
ness owners can do, which Hurd
also stressed, is use social media
and e-mail to reach clientele.
Merchants should take advan-
tage of sites like Facebook and
Twitter to announce promotions
and offer coupons, and they
should also compile a customer e-
mail database to send out blasts
about special events.
Student and Hurd agreed that
economic development equals
community development. So not
only is it important for local busi-
nesses to get involved, but its also
important for local residents to
recognize and do their part; sup-
port local businesses because
they support you.
They reinvest in the commu-
nity, Student said. Thats why
you support local merchants.
Morgan pointed out that you
cant always match the small-
town atmosphere of home if you
travel and shop elsewhere. In
Moorestown, for example, you
can check out a show at the
Moorestown Theater Company
and see your friends and neigh-
bors on stage.
That doesnt happen on Broad-
way, he said.
By seeing a show in
Moorestown, theatergoers also
have an opportunity to make a
day of their trip to Main Street,
said Morgan, the producing artis-
tic director for the theater compa-
ny. If you see a matinee, you can
have lunch afterward, or if youre
going to an evening performance,
you can have dinner on Main
Street before the show.
Hurd said that you can tell peo-
ple to buy local all you want, but
you need to give them a com-
pelling reason to actually do it.
Haddonfield has been work-
ing very hard in the last five to
eight years to bring in a mix of
business thats exciting, distinct
and unique, she said. We really
try to give people a compelling
reason to buy local and so far its
working.
A strong Main Street is vital to
a core identity of a downtown,
Hurd said. Theres no doubt
about that. Its also a well-known
fact that the majority of every
dollar spent locally flows back
into the community Thats
sound economic reason for buy-
ing local.

velopmental point in their lives
that is a challenge emotionally as
well.
Meloche said that he has found
that students who make the best
transition to high school are
those who have a positive outlook
on the experience, who are will-
ing to ask for support, and who
have an adult at home with whom
they can talk and question on a
daily basis.
Open and honest communica-
tion is key for children to be suc-
cessful, especially for them to be
prepared to make the transition,
Meloche said. Expectations
must be discussed ahead of time
what will happen during the day?
Who will they see? What should
they carry to class? To lunch? To
gym? What should they bring
home? How should they manage
their time? All of these questions,
and more, should be discussed at
home in a non-threatening envi-
ronment well before school is to
open.
He said some symptoms of a
person having difficulty with
transitions include: reticence to
discuss school or any events from
the day, extreme or uncharacter-
istic disorganization, becoming
withdrawn, tears when dis-
cussing school, mystery illnesses,
requesting not to attend school,
and not discussing friends.
Even students who technically
might be adults can struggle
when moving from high school to
college.
Mary Beth Daisey, dean of stu-
dents and associate chancellor for
student affairs, Rutgers Universi-
ty Camden, said some new col-
lege students have to think for
themselves for the first time.
Students transitioning into
college often have difficulty mak-
ing important decisions for them-
selves without the input of their
parents, can have difficulty in dis-
cussing and resolving problems
as they have often relied on oth-
ers to assist them with this, and
have difficulty in managing the
large amount of free time that
they seem to have because college
requires a lot more studying time
that is not scheduled, Daisey
said.
Another challenge is commu-
nication.
It is important for both child
and parent to find a way to keep
in regular contact but to also be
able to adjust the frequency or the
mode of communication so that
more independence develops but
support is there when needed,
she said.
So how do you address stu-
dents with problems transition-
ing?
For college students, we help
to prepare them by sending them
information in advance of their
coming to school and then provid-
ing in-person orientation ses-
sions over the summer before
coming, she said. We also
match new students up with up-
perclassmen who help explain the
processes and procedures in col-
lege and check in with them regu-
larly to ensure that the transition
is going well.
We help them meet other stu-
dents, learn about resources and
encourage them to get involved
and connected to school, Daisey
added. For parents, we provide
them with an information session
that discusses these transitions
and gives them the tools they
need to be a resource for their stu-
dents so that they feel comfort-
able in knowing that there are
people at the university whom
they can reach out to should they
need assistance or the answer to a
question.
And for those about to make
their first step into a school?
Dr. Diane Willard, director of
special services and the child
study team in the Mount Laurel
School District, said the schools
do their best to make that first ex-
perience a positive one.
We try very hard to make that
transition a good one for children
and a good experience so that
they have a good feeling about
coming to school, she said.
She said home is the first place
a child learns from his or her par-
ents.
If children see us as partners
with their parents, children feel
more comfortable coming to a
new place and being in a new en-
vironment, Willard said.
I believe that our parents see
us as that partnership and the
kids know that and so the kids
then are comfortable. That in and
of itself goes a long way to mak-
ing that difference in the transi-
tion.
