Ready or not, here it comes. In
six short days, youll be walking
the kids back to the bus stop and
waving goodbye.
Hate to break it to you, but
summer is almost officially over.
And just as your kids have
changed and grown over the sum-
mer, so has the school district to
be able to meet the ever-changing
needs of its students.
Cherry Hill School District Su-
perintendent Dr. Maureen
Reusche explains what both stu-
dents and parents can look for-
ward to in the coming year.
Lets begin with what you need
to know prior to the big day. Each
year, bus schedules are adjusted
to improve efficiency and accom-
modate students. Reusche said to
look for bus schedules to be post-
ed at each of the schools prior to
Sept. 6.
As far as schedule changes, the
elementary schools are switching
back from a 10-day rotation sched-
ule to a five-day schedule. And be-
cause of additional state aid in
2010-2011, the district is adding
four elementary school teachers
to provide supplemental instruc-
tion, Reusche said.
There is good news to report on
the extracurricular activity front.
There are no changes to sports
and clubs throughout the district,
Reusche said. However, the stu-
dent activity fee remains for stu-
dents in grades six through 12.
The fee was implemented last
year due to reduction in state aid,
Reusche added. The one-time fee
each year is $80 per high school
student and $70 per middle school
student, with a family maximum
of $150. Students who are eligible
for the free and reduced meal pro-
gram are not required to pay the
activities fee.
With state funding in flux, the
district will continue to look at
ways to cut costs and share serv-
ices, while remaining mindful of
the environmental choices it
makes this year.
These continue to be challeng-
ing times for public education
and for the property taxpayers
who provide the lions share of
support for our public schools,
Reusche said. But challenging

2012 budget introduced
Taxes to increase slightly under the proposed budget
By MELISSA DIPENTO
The Cherry Hill Sun
Mayor Bernie Platt delivered
his final budget document to
town council at last weeks meet-
ing, looking back and sharing his
thoughts on a decade of munici-
pal budgeting.
Throughout the 46 years Ive
lived, worked and raised my fami-
ly in our township, crafting the
budget has always been one of the
toughest, yet most rewarding,
things to do as the chief execu-
tive, Platt said. Ive had the dis-
tinct pleasure and honor of being
an elected official in our town-
ship and crafting our spending
plans for the past nine years.
The $64.5 million budget,
which will be reviewed by council
and open for a public hearing at
the Sept. 26 meeting, includes a
preliminary local tax levy, or the
amount to be raised by taxpayers,
of $45.1 million, about a $400,000
increase from last years levy,
township spokesman Dan
Keashen said.
Even with the increase,
Keashen said, the tax levy re-
mains well under the state-man-
dated 2 percent municipal cap,
which went into effect last year.
The 2 percent cap limits how
much a municipality can raise
taxes.
In Cherry Hill, about 14 per-
cent of the property taxes you pay
go to the township itself, to fund
things like the police department,
trash collection, the public works
department, 911 calls and so on.
About 54 percent of your tax
bill goes to the school district, 23
percent to Camden County, 8 per-
cent to the fire district, and about
1 percent to the library and open

I recently introduced my final
budget document to Town Coun-
cil, one I hope will pave the way
for a long line of sustainable and
solvent years to come for the
township and the taxpayers. After
a more than 40-year career in
public service, this budget funds
all of our essential services while
bringing us back to one of the
lowest municipal tax rates in
Camden County. I have dedicated
my life to public service and this
township. This budget is the cul-
mination of years of hard work
and represents my vision for the
spine of South Jersey.
Even with a slight uptick in the
local levy, of less than one per-
cent, we are working on a $64 mil-
lion roadmap that is the result of
fiscally-responsible decision mak-
ing and innovative public policy.
Before I go any further, I think it
is important to point out that the
budget is well below the new 2
percent municipal cap and that
the municipal portion of the tax
bill has contracted even further to
approximately 14 percent of the
total tax bill. For a full break-
down, go to [Link]-
[Link]/[Link].
Over the last four years weve
navigated the rough seas of the
economic crisis and streamlined
our work force, building a strong
foundation that combines cuts in
expenses with new forms of rev-
enue to create a strong future.
Working together with Town
Council, we have realized the ben-
efits of long-term planning,
which has paid big dividends for
the taxpayer. In a quick snapshot,
the new trash contracts, solar
panel installation and energy effi-
ciency upgrades have netted the
township approximately $1 mil-
lion in savings.
In other good news, the town-
ship just made its first sale of the
Solar Renewable Energy Credit
(SREC) commodity, a byproduct
of our solar panel project. The
sale netted the residents more
than $36,000 in the electricity
market and will continue to be a
new stream of revenue for years
to come. And speaking of rev-
enue, the townships recycling
program continues to make
recordbreaking strides, creating
statewide recognition with its on-
going success. Recycling both
generates revenue and saves
money by diverting trash out of
our solid-waste stream, saving $65
on every ton not sent to the land-
fill. To provide you context on the
issue, four years ago we sent
27,000 tons of waste to the landfill;
this year we will send less than
20,000. Thats a savings of $455,000
to our community annually.
Meanwhile, the township has
taken advantage of the deregulat-
ed electrical marketplace and ag-
gressively bid out our energy
provider to secure a lower rate
than the traditional utility, saving
us more than $54,000 thus far this
year.
These examples go to show that
going green really does make
more cents, as in dollars and
cents saved for the taxpayer.
These are just a few examples of
how Cherry Hill is staying above
the tough economic waters in a
bad economy and not sinking like
other municipalities in the tri-
county area. These improve-
ments have accompanied a 20-per-
cent reduction in the overall
township workforce, going from
351 in 2006 to 291 in 2011; an ex-
pansion of police coverage in the
township with a switch to a 12-
hour shift schedule; and an ex-
pansion of service hours in Town
Hall. These enhancements come
when other government entities
are cutting service and raising
taxes. Furthermore, we entered
into aggressive contract negotia-
tions with all of our bargaining
units and secured concessions for
the taxpayer and reality-based
contracts for years to come.
Purpose is more important
than popularity when it comes to
public policy and that is a guiding
principle for the governing body
when it crafts a budget. Unlike
the folks in Trenton, Town Coun-
cil and I have always looked to-
ward the future when it comes to
making financially prudent deci-
sions and long-term investments
that enhance our infrastructure.
This means the absence of one-
shot gimmicks in the budget
process and a commitment to the
community that makes Cherry
Hill a special place to live.
That said, some of the cost
drivers from Trenton still provide
a fiscal challenge. This year Town
Hall was struck with a $700,000 in-
crease in our pension payment,
the drag of a bad economy that

brought our overall ratable base
down, and the increased cost of
things like gasoline. Neverthe-
less, we continue to persevere by
finding new cost savings and
streams of revenue to offset most
of these expenses.
Regardless of who sits in the
mayors office, there will always
be problems that are pushed
down to the local level from Tren-
ton. The management of the
states pension system, as I have
said many times before, has been
criminal throughout the last 20
years and will be an ongoing chal-
lenge for local government and
taxpayers for years to come. Like
many other things that go on
under the Golden Dome, towns
like Cherry Hill bear the brunt of
bad policy and decision making.
Moving forward, Cherry Hill
will be in a position to preserve
our special quality of life and
continue to be one of the best
places to live in New Jersey. And,

environment has been rocky, but
my administration has persisted
and kept improving and enhanc-

document that I have introduced

of hard work by my staff and, I
believe, a sustainable way for-

The states Department of
Community Affairs Local Fi-
nance Board approved an applica-
tion on Aug. 18 allowing Cherry
Hill and Merchantville to move
forward in studying municipal
consolidation.
Last month, two public hear-
ings were held in Cherry Hill and
one in Merchantville to discuss
the potential process of merging.
At the meetings, members of
the newly-appointed Cherry Hill
and Merchantville commissions
were introduced and residents
were given a chance to voice their
opinions about a potential merg-
er of the two entities.
Moving forward, officials from
both Cherry Hill and Mer-
chantville said they are awaiting
direction from the DCA.
Gina Genovese, founder and
executive director of Courage To
Connect NJ, an independent, non-
partisan, non-profit organization
that promotes sustainable and
cost effective local government
structures for the state, said this
DCA ruling can act as a model for
the entire state.
The Cherry Hill/Merchantville
commission is the first citizens
group to be approved by the DCA.
In May, Gov. Christie signed a law
(A-3587) that makes it easier for
New Jersey municipalities to
study consolidation.
This is the first time in the
history of New Jersey. This
shows the rest of New Jersey
they can follow and be empow-
ered, Genovese said.

When Dayshawn, 7, first came
to the Cooper Summer Reading
Institute at Lanning Square Ele-
mentary School two years ago, he
could barely sound out a word, let
alone read an entire sentence. His
frustration caused him to lash out
and misbehave; he became a
shutdown learner.
A childs reading ability plays
a big role with their self esteem,
said Elizabeth Askin, a teacher in
the program who works closely
with Dayshawn. Dayshawn
came into the program unrespon-
sive and completely unwilling to
learn. His disruptive behavior
made it difficult to tutor not only
him, but his fellow classmates.
Today, Dayshawn is reading at
his 2nd grade level and continues
to improve every day. No longer
insecure, he helps his fellow class-
mates, including his younger
brother who recently joined the
program this summer, taking
every opportunity he has to grow.
For thousands of children liv-
ing in urban areas like
Dayshawn, the instability of their
socioeconomic issues can cause
young students to suffer academi-
cally. Through no fault of their
own, they face a grim environ-
ment plagued by poor academic
standards, low morale and finan-
cial woes. Research indicates that
more than 60 percent of children
in the urban population are at
risk for falling behind in school
and one out of nine who is not at
the correct reading level by 1st
grade never will be.
All of the best research high-
lights the value of early interven-
tion with the right approaches,
said Dr. Richard Selznick, direc-
tor of the Cooper Learning Cen-
ter. Targeting core skills early
can have tremendous impact.
The summer is a great time to
work on these skills.
The Cooper Summer Reading
Institute is facing these urban
challenges one student at a time
by helping kindergarten through
third-grade students from the
Camden area build foundational
reading skills. Thanks to the con-
tinued generous support from
sponsor Anne E. Koons of Pru-
dential Fox & Roach Realtors, the
six-week program, now in its
sixth year, offers small group in-
structions in a fun and lively at-
mosphere with no cost to parents.
The positive results from stu-
dents make the program continue
to grow each year. There is a wait-
ing list now for students to enter
the program as further funding
would allow future growth.
If I can give the gift of learn-
ing to these young children, I feel
like I have accomplished some-
thing for the community, said
Koons.
My parents Bernard and
Shirlee Brown have always
taught me from a young age that
as I become successful in my life
and work, I had to remember to
give back to our communities and
help provide incredible opportu-
nities for area residents to better
their lives through education.
Summer reading program provides foundation
for students to succeed in year ahead
Special to The Sun
Susan Bass Levin, president and CEO of the Cooper Foundation; Michael H. Goodman, MD, chief of the
Department of Pediatrics at Cooper; and Anne E. Koons of Prudential Fox & Roach Reality and primary
sponsor for the Cooper Summer Reading Institute at Lanning Square posed with the children after they
showcased what they had learned from the program this summer.
times force us to think differently
about how we undertake our
work and the result can be new
opportunities to better serve our
students.
The district entered a shared
services agreement with the
township for trash and recycling
services in 2009, Reusche said,
which has yielded savings for the
district. The district has also
been active in numerous other
shared service agreements,
Reusche added, that have netted
significant savings.
Last year, she said, the district
saved $220,000 in transportation
costs by partnering with the Cam-
den County Educational Services
Commission for non-public trans-
portation services. The district is
also a participant in the State Em-
ployees Health Benefits Plan,
Reusche said. The district saved
about $2.5 million in the 2010-2011
school year and expects to save
about $4 million this upcoming
school year, she added.
The district is also paying close
attention to how it can implement
environmental policies in each
school. Reusche said the adminis-
tration is working closely with
Sustainable Cherry Hill to im-
prove recycling within each of
the districts 19 schools.
Weve involved with Sustain-
able Cherry Hill in the design of
some very specific action steps
the district will take to become
greener. Our staff and students
will focus on the identification of
recyclable items, including plas-
tics which werent previously re-
cyclable, Reusche said. In addi-
tion, we are undertaking an
analysis of the location and label-
ing of recycling and trash con-
tainers throughout the district
and we will form a District Green
Team to enable us to develop
longer range goals.
The district is also completing
energy audits in each of the
schools. Last month, the district
awarded a contract to an engi-
neering firm which will help for-
mulate an energy savings plan,
which will lead to an energy sav-
ings improvement program for
the district, Reusche said.
Now that you know what the
district is planning for the year
ahead, you can also plan ahead
with students to get them reac-
quainted with the activities,
friends, schedule and deadlines
that come with a new school year.
The beginning of a new
school year is exciting for every-
one; staff, students and parents.
There is a tremendous amount of
enthusiasm to renew acquain-
tances, make new friends and to
begin the new year with a fresh
start, Reusche said. In an effort
to receive more than a one-word
answer, ask your child to tell you
about something that surprised
him/her, or about something that
was new or different during the
first few days of the school year.
Communication is key to a
good start, as well, Reusche
added.
Throughout the school year,
keep the lines of communication
between home and school open.
Doing so enables us to maintain
some of that initial excitement
and enthusiasm a bit longer than
the first few days of the school
year, Reusche said. Encourage
your children to take advantage
of the many opportunities to be-
come involved in the school com-
munity. Our schools have so
much to offer.
You dont have too much time
left, but take one last walk
through the park or trip to the
museum with your kids. Reusche

Public hearing on
budget Sept. 26
space fund.
Currently, the average assessed
home in Cherry Hill at $140,000
pays approximately $8,800 in total
property taxes.
Platt said he was proud to in-
troduce the budget to council,
which indicates savings from re-
cent projects in the township,
such as the new trash contract
and $36,000 in revenue from the
solar panel project at the Depart-
ment of Public Works building,
where the roof has been trans-
formed into a 100 kW solar panel
system.
Another cost savings has been
realized in the police depart-
ments switch to 12-hour work-
days in 2010, Keashen added.
And since 2006, the township
has reduced the number of em-
ployees from 351 to 291 in 2011,
yielding additional savings.
The township, however, has ex-
perienced an increase in pension
contributions, which have gone
up $700,000 since last year to $5.9
million, Keashen said. The in-
creased cost of gas has also im-
pacted the budget.
Overall, the township has been
able to keep its expenses in check,
but has experienced losses in rev-
enue, Keashen said.
This (budget) is a good
roadmap for a sustainable and
solvent future, Keashen said.

the
W
here were you on the morn-
ing of Sept. 11, 2001? When
America came under at-
tack? Youll never forget.
Youll never forget hearing the
news, watching on television as the
Twin Towers collapsed, and trying to
make sense of it all.
Youll never forget the heroic ac-
tions of first responders, many of
whom gave their own lives trying to
save others.
No, you wont forget. And, this Sept.
11, youll likely join America in mark-
ing the 10th anniversary of the
tragedy.
If you or your church, civic organi-
zation or other group has a special 9-11
remembrance ceremony or event
planned, we want to know about it.
Just send us an e-mail.
Well be compiling a list and pub-
lishing it on our regional website,
[Link].
But wed encourage everyone to do
more than just pay deserved respects.
Wed ask that, in honor of the 9-11 he-
roes, you do something to make a dif-
ference in your community. You dont
have to be rich to volunteer your time
or make a small donation to a food
pantry. Every effort helps. Every ac-
tion, no matter how small, can help a
fellow American.
We truly saw the best of America in
the aftermath of the 9-11 attacks. We
saw men and women rush to the
scenes and risk their lives. We saw a
nation pull together to support the
families of those who perished and to
track down those responsible for such
devastation. The states were truly
united.
We want to help you honor the mem-
ories of the 9-11 heroes. Tell us what
youre planning; and well tell every-
one else.
in our opinion
9-11 remembered
10 years later, let us help spread the word on how you will remember
9-11 remembered
Are you planning a special event for
the 10th anniversary? Tell us so that
we can tell everyone else.

Earthquake, monsters, homework and poison
Monster-Mania still scary
after almost 20 years
I love horror movies. Not so much the
BOO! jump out at you type of horror
movies that litter the silver screens in this
day and age, but older horror movies that
actually focus on plot and getting inside of
your brain to create an uncomfortable situ-
ation.
Thats probably the main reason Ive al-
ways wanted to attend the annual Monster-
Mania Con at the Cherry Hill Crowne
Plaza Hotel. Each year, it comes to Cherry
Hill Township and thousands of visitors
swarm to the hotel from around the South
Jersey (and Philadelphia) area to meet
some of their favorite horror/sci-fi celebri-
ties and check out hundreds of vendors.
The annual convention, now in its 19th
year, has been terrifying visitors since
1992, said David M. Hagan, vice president
of Monster-Mania LLC. Each year the con-
vention is held for three days and draws
about 15,000 visitors over the weekend, he
said.
Cherry Hill has always been a great lo-
cation for us, Hagan said, before excusing
himself after a brief interview. For the
first hour of the convention on Friday
night, Aug. 19, the Crowne Plaza experi-
enced a rolling blackout because of the tor-
rential downpours that soaked so many of
the visitors (including yours truly).
Robert Linnehan
Ugh, homework!
Lets make it worthwhile
Homework starts as early as kinder-
garten. My older daughter is already quite
happily warning my youngest that she
will have to do homework in kindergarten.
Through my recent studies to obtain my
masters degree, Ive come across many re-
search articles about homework. They all
had the same theme homework isnt real-
ly necessary. What?! I said to myself. As a
teacher, I assigned homework because I felt
it should be a review of skills and concepts
that the students learned that day. I had
parents complain that there wasnt enough
homework and parents complain that it
was too much. The general rule that teach-
ers follow is 10 minutes of homework per
grade (i.e. 10 minutes in first grade, 20 min-
utes in second grade, etc.). If your childs
homework is taking much longer than
that, a red flag should go up.
When your children come home from
school, I would recommend that you allow
them at least 30 minutes to unwind, have a
snack and a drink. Most kids come home
dehydrated from school and tired. Asking
them to complete their homework immedi-
ately can lead to more frustration and
angst. If a child has an afterschool activity
and completing the homework immediate-
ly is necessary, I would suggest that you
allow them to choose the order they would
like to complete their homework. For ex-
ample, most elementary aged children love
math. This subject could be the starting
point.

Surprising advice from experts:
Stop eating poison mushrooms
Poison control officials are asking New
Jersey resident to please stop eating poison
mushrooms. If you dont mind.
An Ocean County man is among four
people hospitalized for this kind of poison-
ing after weekend storms raised a new
crop of lawn candy, according to The News
of Cumberland County. Others who got
sick were from Hudson County and Mon-
mouth.
One or two people die every year in New
Jersey from eating poison mushrooms
they find growing in their yards or along
hiking trails, poison expert Dr. Steven Mar-
cus told The News. Marcus is executive
and medical director of New Jersey Poison
Information and Education System, which
warns on their website, There is no easy
way to tell the difference between poison-
ous and harmless mushrooms.
