The Haddonfield Sun
The culmination of several
years of discussions surrounding
the 19.2-acre Bancroft property
adjacent to Haddonfield Memori-
al High School arrives next
month.
As the Tuesday, Jan. 22 bond
referendum nears, One Haddon-
field is campaigning in favor of
the acquisition, while Haddon-
field United is warning against it.
All the while, Bancrofts CEO
and President Toni Pergolin has
announced what will happen to
the property if the referendum
fails, while showing support for
approval.
We hope voters will approve
the upcoming referendum on the
sale, Pergolin said in a Nov. 28
statement. As for Bancroft, we
plan to build updated facilities at
a nearby location to best meet the
needs of the children and adults
we serve.
However, if the referendum
does not pass, we will immediate-
ly begin the process of building
new facilities on the current site,
and there will be no further nego-
tiation on a sale.

Happy golden birthday to Had-
donfields own Brooke and Elise
Fiannaca!
Today, the twins, born on Dec.
12, 2000, are celebrating their 12th
birthdays.
For me, its amazing watching
them go from little girls to young
adults, said their father, Frank
Fiannaca. Its making being a fa-
ther harder and harder.
The girls, who are sixth-
graders at Haddonfield Middle
School, are quite active, he said,
in a plethora of sports.
They both play travel soccer,
he said. Theyre both swim-

Elise plays travel basketball,
while Brooke participates in trav-
el lacrosse.
Plus, they both love to ski
with their mom.
They have made us proud par-
ents and continue to impress us,
said Frank.
The girls have two brothers,
Lenny, 13, and 7-year-old Frank,
Jr.
During spring break, the fami-
ly will be taking a special trip to
Park City, Utah.
While Frank jokingly refers to
his daughters as double trou-
ble, he quickly adds that its all
in a good way.
Its all worth it, he said.
When their dad spoke with The
Sun, he was busily planning a
surprise party for the girls, which
was to be held last Saturday.
Theyre both great, fun loving
Christians, said Frank.
After today, the next triple digit
birthday will be way past the end
of our lifetimes on Jan. 1, 2101.

mation Center, 2 Kings Court, and
can also be purchased online.
Tickets are priced at $15 in ad-

A
s 2012 winds to a close, The
Sun has a couple of special
editions planned.
The first one will be on Dec. 26. It
will be a look back at the major stories
and issues of 2012. Well recap the year
through stories and photos.
The second special edition will be on
Jan. 2. It will be a look ahead to 2013,
and its where we invite you to help us
with our coverage.
Our associate editors are lining up
interviews with local leaders, such as
mayors and school superintendents.
Were preparing a list of questions re-
garding the new year. The idea is to
give the leaders an opportunity to dis-
cuss upcoming issues.
Do you have any questions for your
local officials? If so, please send an
email to us. Our email address for
news submissions appears on this
page and throughout the paper.
Now, were not asking officials to
break out a crystal ball and offer their
prognostications for 2013. No one can
anticipate everything that will happen.
Hurricane Sandy is a prime example.
The storms impact will be felt well
into 2013 and, in some places, even
longer.
But it is possible to set a basic agen-
da for the new year. There may be
some lingering issues from 2012 that
will be wrapped up. There may be
some opportunities or challenges that
already are on the schedule for the up-
coming year. Taxes, for example, al-
ways will be a major topic of discus-
sion. Hopefully, local governing bodies
already are working on plans to make
efficient use of your tax dollar, and
perhaps leaders can share some of
those ideas.
Our editors want to be as thorough
as possible when interviewing local
leaders. They dont want to miss a
question that is on your mind, which is
why were asking for your input.
Send us your questions, and well do
our best to get answers from your local
leaders.

Residents fear Radnor Field
could be sold for development
There is a growing fear among residents
that Radnor Field, which the Board of Edu-
cation (BOE) owns, will be sold for private
development.
This fear first took hold a year ago when
the BOE proposed to sell Radnor for pri-
vate development to help pay for a $32 mil-
lion plan to buy Bancroft, develop four new
turf fields and construct a 32,000 square
foot academic center and library.
To its credit, the BOE later scaled back
its initial plan for Bancroft, reduced the
initial cost of the proposed referendum
and, in its words, took the sale of Radnor
off the table.
Unfortunately, the BOE has so far failed
to take a very simple step to reinforce its
commitment to protect Radnor Field.
This simple step involves the con-
veyance of a public recreation and educa-
tion easement to the borough.
This easement would not in any way re-
strict the BOEs management and use of
Radnor Field but it would limit its unilater-
al ability to sell Radnor because the bor-
ough commissioners would first have to re-
lease the easement in order for a sale to
take place.
Why should we be concerned about Rad-
nor Field?
It is much more than a group of high
school athletic fields. It has served organ-
ized baseball, and more recently soccer
leagues, for more than 60 years; is a popu-
lar place for pick-up games of soccer, foot-
ball and baseball; supports Frisbee games,
kite flying, model plane flights, rocket
launching and other activities; and, most
importantly, gives parents a convenient
place to introduce young children to many
outdoor sports and games.
People make use of Radnor Field virtu-
ally every day.
Equally important, the sale of Radnor
will have tax impacts (possibly good, possi-
bly bad) on the borough and could increase
our affordable housing obligation. These
issues, along with recreation impacts, are
within the borough commissioners
purview, not the BOEs.
That is why its so important for our
commissioners, the people we elect to tack-
le town-wide needs, to have a formal say in
any proposed sale of the field.
It took only a few days for hundreds of
residents to sign a petition calling on the
BOE to convey the easement.
The BOE should do so without delay be-
cause there is simply no logical reason not
to unless they insist on retaining their
unilateral authority to sell Radnor Field
without voter or borough commission ap-
proval.

Time is running short to lend a
hand to local animal shelters and
rescue groups this holiday sea-
son. Elauwit Medias Deck the
Paws and Help a Collie drive
wraps up next week.
Elsewhere in this paper, you
will find a list of drop spots where
you can leave your donation of
pet food, cat litter, office supplies,
cleaning supplies and more.
This is the ninth year that the
publisher of The Sun newspapers
has held a holiday drive to help
the shelters. Every year, our read-
ers have come through with
truckloads of supplies to help the
animals. This year, with an econo-
my that is struggling and in the
aftermath of Hurricane Sandy,
the need is especially acute.

Keep taxes in mind
before referendum
As the debate builds about the
Board of Education's Bancroft
referendum, most voters would
share the opinion that if it passes,
the lower the property tax im-
pact, the better.
Toward this end, Haddonfield
open space advocates and bor-
ough consultants identified grant
sources for Bancroft land, and
voters set the stage for Haddon-
field to be well positioned for
grants when they passed the local
Open Space Trust Fund in 2006
and renewed it in 2011.
I'd like to remind residents of
the much larger Camden County
Open Space Tax that Haddonfield
has paid since its inception in
1998, without having received a
single open space preservation
grant. The recent borough an-
nouncement of a likely $3.5 mil-
lion (at a minimum) in grants to-
wards Bancroft include $800,000
from the Camden County Open
Space Preservation Fund. This is
a start. However, Haddonfield's
contributions via the Camden
County Open Space Tax as of 2012
total nearly $3.5 million, with
over $400,000 annually paid into
this fund currently.
If the referendum passes, by
the time Bancroft moves in three
years, Haddonfield property own-
ers will have paid nearly $4.8 mil-
lion. Camden County has made
open space preservation grants of
over $6 million to Voorhees, $7
million to Cherry Hill, and nearly
$9 million to Winslow.
Before the Jan. 22 referendum
vote, let's hope we have the maxi-
mum return on our support, via
our local, county and state taxes,
of these various open space
funds, particularly from the Cam-
den County Open Space Preserva-
tion Fund.
Let's also hope for full commu-
nity representation on decisions
about uses, since all Haddonfield
taxpayers have donated many
millions, over many years, to
open space funding.

If Bancroft purchased,
taxes will increase
I read Mr. Bob Webb's letter to
the editor in your Nov. 28 to Dec. 4
issue and found myself sharing
many of his feelings.
I then turned the page and saw
the headline, "One Haddonfield
supports BOE's aim to purchase
Bancroft property."
In it, Mr. Jack O'Malley, identi-
fied as one of the founders of One
Haddonfield, says, "The purchase
of the property, immediately adja-
cent to the high school, fits per-
fectly with the mission of the
school district for its campus de-
velopment and with the needs of
the community for additional
recreational and open space this
is a once in a lifetime opportuni-
ty."
Two paragraphs later he is
quoted as saying, "Additionally,
we could have the long term po-
tential for ratables to ease the tax
burden for our citizens."
Huh?
A "ratable" is defined (simply)
as a property that provides tax in-
come for local government.
If, as Mr. O'Malley proposes,
this property is going to be pur-
chased for the school district and
the recreational and open space
needs of the community, who
among us is going to believe for a
moment that the land would ever
be used to establish ratables?
Haddonfield's property tax
problem is lack of diversification
within the tax base. There is no
industrial or light industrial and
little in the way of commercial, so
the bulk of the tax dollars come
from residents.
If anyone in this town believes
that taxes will not increase if the
borough or BOE purchases the
Bancroft property, you will surely
be disappointed.
The taxes will have to increase,
because we, as a town, will be los-
ing an enormous ratable.
I am a father of five children
aged six to 17.
I enjoy living in Haddonfield
and operate my business here.
I also love our schools and
teachers and am a fan of
open/recreational space.
I am not remotely pleased
about paying five figures in annu-
al property taxes for a 2,400
square foot home on less than a
quarter acre, but for better or
worse, that is life in Haddonfield.
Like me, I suspect that Mr.
Webb will be listing his home for
sale shortly after his children exit
the Haddonfield public school
system.
Unfortunately, many of the eld-
erly and those on fixed incomes
will leave as well. In reality, the
long term potential for Haddon-
field is population instability cou-
pled with upper-middle class
transience.
As Mr. Webb pointed out, we
have school classrooms without
air conditioning, but the borough
and BOE are insistent that a
multi-million dollar property ac-
quisition is critical to the quality
of life in our town.
I trust I am not the only one to
recognize the disconnect.

Have historic structures
been considered?
Are the taxpayers about to ac-
quire a pig in a poke when Ban-
croft transfers to us structures,
which are encumbered by histori-
cal preservation designation?
What is in the poke?
Who has inspected these struc-
tures to determine their condi-
tion, whether the stuff of which
they are made or the interior de-
sign suitability; if so, is a report
available for review?
Have our representatives had a
walk through?
Has Bancroft disclosed its ex-
pense in maintaining, preserving
these structures?
In what part of any local
schools curriculum is the study
of the history of these struc-
tures?
Will additional staff be hired to
effect occupancy of these struc-
tures, merely to justify the acqui-
sition?
Just wondering.

HMS students showed their creativity in the Halloween Costume Contest. Winners (pictured left to right)
included first-place winner Joseph De Simone, dressed as a transformer; second-place winner Amelia
Coty, dressed as a flower pot; and third-place winner William Potts, dressed as a robot.
Student Council Has a Busy Start
By Kaitlyn Bonnet
This years student council is
off to a great start! From selling
water ice and running a Hal-
loween costume contest, to adopt-
ing new recycling rules, the stu-
dent council has been busy.
The student council developed
a new fundraiser, selling water
ice outside after school in order to
raise money for the Haddonfield
turf fields initiative and other
school needs. HMS and Central
students have really enjoyed the
mango, cherry, blue-raspberry,
cotton candy and lemon water
ice. Selling about twenty five gal-
lons of water ice, the student
council has raised 357 dollars this
fall. One of the exciting things
about this new fundraiser is that
it impacts more than just the mid-
dle school community. Most Had-
donfield athletes and some musi-
cians will benefit from the turf
fields if we are able to get them.
It was amazing to see how the
student council officers devel-
oped a great idea, and took the re-
sponsibility to plan, troubleshoot,
organize and implement the
water ice sale. Their work ex-
ceeded my expectations, stated
Dr. Priolo, Haddonfield Middle
Schools principal. Thanks to
everyone who has bought water
ice and helped to make this
fundraiser a great success!
Another exciting event that the
student council helped organize
was the Halloween costume con-
test. Delayed by Sandy, HMS stu-
dents celebrated Halloween on
Friday, November 2 by coming to
school dressed in creative cos-
tumes. Congratulations to our
2012 costume contest winners:
first place winner, Joseph De Si-
mone, dressed as a transformer;
second place winner, Amelia Coty,
dressed as a flower pot; and third
place winner, William Potts,
dressed as a robot.
In addition to supporting fun
events, the HMS student council
is also helping the community
and environment by supporting
the new recycling rules. The
school is recycling paper, plastic
bottles, soda cans and glass. The
recycling bins are available in
school classrooms and in the
lunchroom.
The student council officers
and their advisors, Mrs. Munz
and Mrs. Verdeur, have many
more events they are planning for
this year such as Winter Spirit
Week and a pretzel sale. If you
have any questions about student
council or suggestions for the offi-
cers you can bring them to Kait-
lyn Bonnet, Briana Gess, Bridget
Kane, Becca Goldfield, and Lau-
ren Warner or your class room
representatives. I love being a
part of student council. Its a fun
way to get involved in the school,
says 8th grader Briana Gess. The
student council is looking for-
ward to a great year!
Veterans Bring
History to Life
By Derek Li
On Tuesday, November 13, the
Haddonfield Middle School
learned to remember. Two days
after the national holiday, HMS
held the Annual Veterans Assem-
bly to honor the Veterans for serv-
ing the country. As students sat in
the auditorium and listened to
their local veteran heroes tell of
their times on the battlefield, the
auditorium was filled with emo-
tion and respect.. The assembly
was organized by former Veteran
and Seventh Grade Social Studies
Teacher John Farrell, as well as
Eighth Grade Social Studies
Teacher Travis Thomas. In the
traditional opening to the assem-
bly, Mr. Farrell relayed a speech
by Red Skelton to remind stu-
dents of the important meaning
behind the American Pledge of
Allegiance. Then, the staff, stu-
dents and Veterans recited the
pledge with feeling.
HMS principal Dr. Priolo ex-
plained how the Veterans deserve
our respect and admiration, in-
cluding his own father, a Veteran
who considers serving his coun-
try one of the most important
parts of his life. Then, each of the
Veterans present at the assembly
had an opportunity to introduce
themselves and tell the students
about their service.
Next, a program to honor med-
ical personnel in the military was
presented. Mr. Farrell began
with a power point on the mili-
tary service of John Doc
Bradley. Bradley was best known
as one of the flag raisers on Iwo
Jima. But, unknown to most peo-
ple including his own family,
Corpsman Bradley had been
awarded the Navy Cross for res-
cuing a wounded marine.
Mr. Farrell then introduced Dr.
James Finnegan, commanding
medical officer of the Khe Sanh
base in Vietnam in 1968. Dr.
Finnegan told the story of anoth-
er young corpsman who repeated-
ly risked his life to protect the
wounded during attacks from the
enemy. His name was Jonathan
Spicer and he too, had been
awarded the Navy Cross. Spicer
was seriously wounded while try-
ing to protect some wounded
marines. Dr. Finnegan related
how he performed a daring emer-
gency operation that saved
Spicers life. Unfortunately,
Spicer died later in a hospital
from an infection. Dr. Finnegans
personal account of life as a com-
bat surgeon in Vietnam was re-
ceived with awe and respect by
the students.
The audience then had an op-
portunity to watch a movie about
The Korean War which ended
with a thank you letter to the Vet-
erans who helped Korea become
strong enough to help others.
Then, Dr. Columbi returned to
the microphone to tell a story
about a soldier named Lopez who
was believed dead for hours, and
then miraculously came back to
life. Dr. Columbi concluded his
speech by telling us how many of
the real heroes are not the ones
that came home, but the ones that
died on the battlefield. Following
the Veterans speech, the whole
student body stood in respectful
silence, while Taps was played.
After the assembly, Veterans
were treated to a lunch in the li-
brary sponsored by the PTA.
Then, the Veterans visited class-
rooms to make history come to
life and answer questions from
the students. Later in the day, stu-
dents had an opportunity to show
their appreciation by writing
thank you letters to the veterans
for keeping us safe.

Haddonfield Middle School students wore neon colors and bought
neon shoe laces to raise money for Go 4 the Goal, a foundation that
supports families of children with cancer. The fundraiser has collect-
ed $30,000 since January 2012.
Go 4 the Goal: a
Foundation Like No Other
By Jason Garstkiewicz
GO 4 THE GOAL is a non-profit
organization that was started by
Dr. and Mrs. Richard Stefanacci.
They started this foundation
when their son Richard was diag-
nosed with cancer.
Richard lost his battle with
cancer but his legacy lives on
through Go4theGoal. G4G raises
money through the sale of neon
shoe laces and fundraisers. The
money directly helps families and
kids battling cancer. G4G helps
families pay medical and utility
bills while also lifting kids spirits
through very special gifts like a
computer or Ipad.
The Haddonfield community
has been a major contributor in
raising money for
Go4theGoal. When I was diag-
nosed with cancer, my lacrosse
team decided to wear neon yellow
shoe laces from G4G in my honor
and sell laces to others to show
me support.
It started with possibly selling
about 75 pair of laces, but quickly
grew as other Haddonfield sports
teams and teams from surround-
ing towns wanted to wear the
laces to support me and pediatric
cancer. This effort called Lace
Up for Pediatric Cancer that was
kicked off at the Haddonfield
Middle School in January 2012
was a huge success. Over a 6
month period, the sale of approxi-
mately 10,000 pairs of laces total-
ing $30,000 was raised for pedi-
atric cancer.
G4G is not just a local organiza-
tion. When a Mom and her
daughter ReAna, from Georgia,
reached out to me and my family
for information to help cope with
cancer, we passed on their infor-
mation to G4G. G4G set up a
fundraising run in Georgia for
ReAna so they can raise money
to help her family with their per-
sonal and medical expenses.
Lace up for pediatric cancer
brought our community together
and made everyone feel as one in
the fight against pediatric cancer,
what a great feeling it is to know
you can truly make a difference,
explains my mother, Ms.
Garstkiewicz. G4G will forever
be a part of our lives.
Eighth Graders Predict the Outcome
of the Presidential Election
By Kathleen Hohweiler
Eighth graders had been
watching the events leading up to
the Presidential election closely
for their Social Studies class.
They completed group projects,
watched the debates and studied
the election process.
Prior to the voting day, Social
Studies teacher Ms. Izzo polled
her students.
The results placed President
Obama as the winner with 65% of
the students votes, while the
other 35% of students voted for
Mitt Romney. The informal poll
correctly predicted the outcome
as President Barack Obama was
re-elected for his second term on
November 6, 2012 with 303 elec-
toral votes.
HMS students watched anx-
iously with the rest of the nation
as the election was broadcasted
from coast to coast.
The fate of the 44th presiden-
tial election rested in the swing
states.
The students learned that each
state gets a certain number of
electoral votes including Col-
orado (9), Florida (29), Iowa (6),
Nevada (6), New Hampshire (4),
Ohio (18), Virginia (13), and Wis-
consin (10). To win the presiden-
tial election, you must reach 270
electoral votes.
It was a long, hard battle be-
tween the two candidates but in
the end, Obama took Colorado,
Florida, Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, Ohio, Virginia, and Wiscon-
sin while Romney took the lead in
Iowa, according to the New York
Times. At the end of the election
Obama had 303 electoral votes
while his opponent finished with
235.
Students had mixed opinions
about the outcome. Eighth grader
Claire Haitsh said, I watched the
debates and wasnt sold on any of
the candidates platforms. Be-
cause of that, the results of the
election fell flat for me.
However, eighth grader Philip
Otto reports, I was happy with
the result of the election. I
thought that all of the campaign
ads were crazy and the past few
weeks were very hectic.
Eighth grader Meghan Smart
was also pleased with the results,
stating The election wasnt as
tense or close as I thought be-
cause Obama won by over 100
electoral votes. I liked and was
happy with the outcome of this
presidential election with Obama
as our president again. I feel that
he will do a very good job in office
once again.

Red Ribbons decorate the halls
of HMS each year in order to sup-
port the National School initia-
tive Red Ribbon Week.
Red Ribbon Week began in re-
membrance of Enrique Camare-
na, a Drug Enforcement Adminis-
tration Agent killed in Mexico
during an undercover investiga-
tion of a major drug cartel in
1985. The drug cartel was believed
to include officers in the Mexican
army, police and government.
To honor Camarenas death
and his battle against illegal
drugs, neighbors and friends
began to wear red badges of
satin. Parents began to form
coalitions. This established Ca-
marena as a role model and em-
braced his belief that one person
could make a difference. These
coalitions formed by believers led
to the annual observance of Red
Ribbon Week.
This year, Red Ribbon Week
was remembered the week of
Monday, October 22. At HMS, a
different activity each day re-
minded students to be drug free.
On the first day, Peer Leaders
made an announcement about
the history of Red Ribbon Week.
The cafeteria was also decorated
with red streamers to remind the
students of the weeks intent.
On Tuesday, students and staff
were rewarded with a red Twiz-
zler if they wore red to demon-
strate their pledge to be drug free.
On Wednesday, students were
reminded of the pledge with a red
piece of ribbon tied to their lock-
er from the Peer Leaders.
On Thursday, the Peer Leaders
asked a series of three questions
relating to the National Drug
Week on the morning announce-
ments. The first student in each
homeroom to correctly answer
the question received a red treat
just to add on to the excitement.
On Friday, each student was
given a red ribbon to wear with a
slogan reminding them to be drug
free. At 11:45, all student council
officers joined Dr. Priolo and
other dignitaries in a picture
with their ribbons symbolizing
their oath to stay away from
drugs.
I think Red Ribbon Week is a
great way to teach everyone at
our school the consequences of
drugs and how they can affect not
only us, but our surroundings as
well, reports Eighth Grader, Meg
Schroeter, It isnt everyday we
are taught about drugs, so when
we are, it sure does make a great
impact on our future decisions.
Eighth Grader Caroline Conte
explains, I believe it is a chance
for kids to reflect on the impor-
tant reasons why they dont do
drugs and to persuade others not
to do drugs either.
Although Camarenas death
was heartbreaking to many peo-
ple, by celebrating what he be-
lieved and strived for, we can pre-
vent drug abuse from taking
other lives.
Remember the Red Ribbon
Red Ribbon week was held the week of October 22

Eagles Losing Streak, Whose Fault Is It?
By Briana Gess
and Meghan Smart
Swish. The HYBA 8th grade
girls travel basketball team is
looking forward to a successful
season. Last year, the seventh
grade team, ending with zero
wins and 18 losses, struggled
through a tough season, as they
played in the highest division
amongst 8th grade teams. Howev-
er, they now look back on that sea-
son as an opportunity to have ob-
tained better skills and playing
habits in which they can apply for
the upcoming winter.
Even though they are all in-
volved in other sports and activi-
ties in the off season, the girls
continue their basketball train-
ing. Whether it be trying out for
AAU teams, playing summer
league or participating in private
sessions, they will stop at nothing
to win their division this year.
This particular group of girls
has never played together on the
same team.
Coached by Phil Smart, the ath-
letic director from Eastern and
former head coach for HMHS
boys varsity basketball, team
members include, Abby Bentley,
Jenna Zappetti, CC Mooney, Meg
Schroeter, Kaitlyn Bonnet, Sophie
Maccarone, Kayla Warner, Brid-
get Kane, Meghan Smart and Bri-
ana Gess.
While warming up before prac-
tice, Maccarone commented, Im
excited to be playing with this
team and I think we will get very
far this year. The girls team
hopes to practice twice a week be-
ginning in November and contin-
uing through February, when
they will finish the 18 game sea-
son.
This team has a lot of talent
and potential, they are all won-
derful girls, quotes Coach Smart.
I am looking forward to working
with them this year.
The team will need all the sup-
port they can get, so come on out
and cheer them on, Sundays in
the high school B gym!

The Haddonfield Middle
School seventh and eighth grade
field hockey team had a fantastic
season this fall. The Bulldawgs
managed to finish the season
with 15 wins, one loss, and one tie.
Head coach, Anne Furlong,
states We had a tremendous sea-
son with 48 seventh and eighth
graders leading the team to a 15-1-
1 record.
The team had a magnificent of-
fense. Their scoring leaders were
Meghan Smart, Kayla Warner,
Caroline Bickel, and Bridget
Kane. Our season was great and
very memorable. We had lots of
fun and we always wanted to
win. said Kayla Warner, an
eighth grade offensive player.
Caroline Bickel, who played of-
fense as well, thought, We had an
excellent season, we worked hard
and had fun while doing so.
In addition to a powerful of-
fense, the Bulldawgs had a strong
defense, lead by Lauren Warner
and Emma Feldhake.
Congratulations Dawgs for a
great season!
By JT Tully
The Eagles five game losing
streak is a very controversial sub-
ject, and really comes down to
opinion. Why is the team unable
to win? Is it due to the coaching
staff, the quarterback position, or
the offensive line?
Lets start with the quarter-
back, Michael Vick. In the NFL,
he is ranked third in turnovers
for quarterbacks, causing many
issues for the Philadelphia Ea-
gles. However, he has only had
eight interceptions, so throwing
is not the problem; running the
ball is. He also suffered a concus-
sion in the Eagles game against
Dallas. As he recovers from his
injury, we are left wondering is he
good enough for the Eagles, and
will we see a turn around after
his concussion?
In addition to quarterback
problems, the head coach Andy
Reid may also share the blame.
Many people believe that Andy
Reid has made all the wrong calls,
sending the Eagles spiraling into
losses. The long time coach from
1999 may now be facing the end of
his career with the Philadelphia
Eagles.
The third issue for the Eagles
is the offensive line. However, the
main reason that they are strug-
gling is because so many of the
offensive line starters are now in-
jured including Todd Herremans,
Jason Peters, Jason Kelce and
Danny Watkins. Evan Mathis is
the only starter left standing.
So, are the Eagles really a bad
team, or just down in their luck
due to injuries? According to
Andy Reid,Its the team. Its all of
us. Theres not one particular per-
son or one side of the ball or any-
thing else. Were all in this togeth-
er.
Michael Vick also takes some
of the blame as well. Ive got to
get my swag back, Vick said. I
got to get back to playing football
the way I love to play it and not
worry about whats going to hap-
pen. Thats out of my control. All
I can control is how I play and
how aggressive I can be.
Will the Eagles fail to impress
us fans, or will they get their head
in the game and focus on the next
game? I guess we will have to wait
and find out as the season un-
folds.
New Team Same Dream

On October 12th, 2012, HMS
students excitedly gathered out-
side on a crisp fall morning and
prepared to take a walk with their
fellow classmates. It was Wellness
Day, and going on an hour-long
walk was one out of the many
events that students enjoyed.
After the walk, students were
shown a short multimedia pres-
entation called Take the Pledge,
which focused on bullying, drugs
and friendship. The intriguing
and exciting movie encourages
students to Take the Pledge to
stop bullying and be a friend to
those who are struggling with
problems such as family issues,
bullying and drug addiction.
After the video, the students
participated in many other inter-
esting activities centered on the
theme of Wellness. These ses-
sions, given by community volun-
teers and HMS teachers, included
healthy eating, back and joint
health, Mediterranean cooking,
yoga and relaxation techniques,
exercises, and much more! Some
of the special guests included the
manager of Animo Juice in Had-
donfield; Shari Saluck, a chiro-
practor in Westmont; and Dr.
Amy James, an orthodontist in
Haddonfield.
At the end of this special day, a
final presentation in the gym
demonstrated the importance of
emotional and physical well-
being. Haddonfield Middle School
was officially declared No Place
for Hate school for the second
year in a row for their Anti-Bully-
ing programs. After the presenta-
tion, students watched an excit-
ing Karate demonstration.
All in all, Wellness Day, 2012,
was very successful and fun for
everyone.

The cast and crew of The Games People Play had a successful production at HMS on October 25th and
26th.
Fall Drama Deserves Applause
By Sophie Hamilton
The HMS Fall Drama pro-
duction got the crowd clapping
from the first moment when three
cheerleaders took the spotlight
and began a rhythmical cheer.
Joining in like spectators at a
game, the audience thoroughly
enjoyed The Games People Play
on October 25th and 26th at the
Haddonfield Middle School Audi-
torium
In the sports-themed pro-
duction a series of vignettes
showed various aspects of differ-
ent games, from basketball to
chess. Starring as the cheerlead-
ers who introduced each scene
were Leah Hershberger, Avery
Williamson, and Claudia Mas-
clans.
Also key was the stage crew,
which operated lights, painted
sets, and managed props. But
overall, it was the effort of every
individual that made the play a
success.
Directors Ms. Izzo, Ms. Obst,
and Mrs. Mastantuono spent
many hours working with stu-
dents to create this play. We all
worked really hard and it took a
lot of effort, said 8th grader
Joanna Moles, but we came
through in the end.
The hard work of the directors,
stage crew, and cast was evident
in the successful production in
front of a packed audience of
teachers, parents, and friends. It
was a great show, stated Ms. Izzo.
All the kids did an amazing job.
After one great production, antic-
ipation is already high for the
spring musical. Be sure to be
there when the curtain rises!
Hurricane Sandy
Hit Haddonfield
Wont Back Down
is a Gripping Movie
By Sophia Peifer and Anna Haley
Windy Trees, a bone-chilling
temperature, rainfall so powerful
it was hard to see; did you survive
Sandys storm? Many people
heard about a storm that was
forming around the Bahamas and
supposedly coming straight for
the East Coast, but no one knew if
anything was going to happen in
Haddonfield. Meteorologists
from all over were predicting a
fierce hurricane was going to
damage our town as well as many
others.
People started frantically shop-
ping for last minute things in case
the storm trapped them inside
their houses. If you walked into a
store a day or two before the
storm, you would have seen many
empty shelves picked over until
all that was left was one stale box
of pretzels. Also in preparation of
the storm, panic-stricken people
shuffled around with grocery
carts piled high with things like
water, batteries, flashlights, and
non-perishable items. We were ex-
pected to lose power for several
hours if not days-so everyone
made sure that they were pre-
pared.
Hurricane Sandy slammed
into Haddonfield on October 28th
and 29th with winds over 70 mph,
and extremely heavy rains. Peo-
ple huddled indoors praying that
they wouldnt lose power, and that
the trees would stay rooted to the
ground- where they belonged. All
everyone could do was stay inside
and wait to see how the storm
would affect them.
Mother Nature is unpre-
dictable which is why storms are
so scary, because before they hap-
pen you can never be sure of the
outcome.
When the storm finally died
down Haddonfield residents
sighed with relief and could final-
ly live without worrying about
the uncertainties storms bring.
Our town had survived the im-
pact with only a few minor
scratches. Throughout the town,
many wires and trees were down
which blocked some sidewalks
and still made it unsafe to venture
outside. I think that the scariest
part of the storm was when I
thought a tree could fall onto our
house and into my bedroom win-
dow. Thank goodness it didnt!
said Central Elementary School
first grader Ava.
Due to power outages, high
winds, rain and unsafe trans-
portation routes to school, Had-
donfield School District made the
decision to close its doors on Oc-
tober 29, 30, and 31. Having three
days off from school and so was
the later decision to postpone Hal-
loween Celebrations. On the
evening of Tuesday October 30th,
all parents were notified that the
sugar-filled holidays trick or
treating tradition would be post-
poned until Friday, November
2nd.
This would allow the borough
time to clean up the various haz-
ards throughout the town like
loose wires. I think that it was a
good thing that Halloween was
postponed because this way the
children trick-or-treating would
be safe from things like falling
tree branches, said eighth grad-
er Mireyah Davis.
After the storm, loose wires
were repaired and debris was re-
moved in order to return to life as
usual. However, while Haddon-
field survived Sandy with minor
damage, now residents will be
reaching out to others who are ex-
periencing hardship due to the
storm.
By Sophia Peifer
This movie review reflects the
opinions of the writer and does not
necessarily reflect the opinions of
the school district or the newspa-
per staff.
The inspirational, true
story, Wont Back Down will have
you reflecting on the importance
of education long after the movie
is over. The gripping movie
shows the struggle to overcome
failing schools. This movie will
hold your attention because it
deals with real life issues in a dra-
matic and suspenseful plot.
The story takes place in the
city of Pittsburgh where a school
is failing: kids are illiterate,
teachers have given up, and par-
ents believe that they cant do a
thing about the problem. One
mom of a dyslexic child decides
to take a stand because she can-
not afford to pay the tuition to
send her daughter to another
school. She decides to team up
with a teacher and file a petition
to take over the school, despite
being told that the process is ex-
tremely long and almost impossi-
ble to complete. These roles are
portrayed with passion by two
powerful actresses, Maggie Gyl-
lenhaal who plays the mother,
and Viola Davis who plays the
teacher. Other recognizable sup-
porting actors contribute their
talents to the movie including
Oscar Isaac, Rosie Perez, Holly
Hunter and Ving Rhames.
The movie has the audience
rooting for the failing school to
succeed as the main characters
struggle against many people
who are resistant to the changes.
In the movie, the teachers union
becomes the main opposing force
to the new school. The union tries
to fight the changes because the
teachers fear they will lose their
jobs if the new school opens with-
out a teachers union. This aspect
of the movie has created contro-
versy with the teachers union
who has commented that the
movie inaccurately portrays their
organization.
Whichever side you are on, the
movie Wont Back Down makes
you think. It shows how educa-
tion shapes the countrys future
and is something worth fighting
for. If schools are failing, we are
not giving kids the tools they
need to be successful in the fu-
ture. Watching this movie, will
get you excited about educational
reform.
the style of homes on the tour,
said Anderson, this year includ-
ing a victorian, brick colonial, a
charming home, and a Tuscan-
inspired newly built home.
Were proud of this years
tour, she said.
Each year, there are either five
homes included, or, like this year,
four homes and a special extra
destination.
The award-winning Haddon-
field Garden Club, she said, will
decorate Indian King Tavern in
the era of the 1800s.
It is gorgeous, she said.
The event generally brings in
about $20,000 to be used in a local
non-profit organizations project.
The money donated cannot be
used to supplement operating
costs, Anderson added.
This years recipient is the
Friends of the Indian King Tav-
ern.
Past recipients include the His-
torical Society of Haddonfield,
Markeim Arts Center, Interfaith
Caregivers, the dinosaur project
and the Haddonfield Friends of
the Library.
They just do wonderful things
with the money, Anderson said.
Its a wonderful feeling.
About 250 volunteers are enlist-
ed to help in the event.
Each house will have a house
captain and guides in each room
for both safety purposes and to
give important information to
visitors about the room, includ-
ing heirlooms and collections.
They dont just walk though a
house, she said.
Tour officials request that at-
tendees do not take photographs
or bring food into the homes.
Guest should take off their
shoes upon entrance, according
to a release, and plan to wear
socks.
Another location in town open
in conjunction with the tour is
the Markeim Art Center, which
will be hosting its annual Holiday
Art Exhibit and Sale from 10 a.m.
to 6 p.m.
The center will offer hot cider
and cookies for tour attendees.
Accent Studio, 123 Kings High-
way East, will be open from 10
a.m. to 9 p.m., donating a portion
of sales of the commemorative
Friendship Ball to the Indian
King Tavern.
The ornament is priced at $25.
According to a release, Rich
and Karen Federici of Vineland
handcrafted the limited edition
ball.

Paul L. Ablonczy, Jr.
Dec. 4, 2012
Paul L. Ablonczy, Jr., 94, of
Haddonfield passed away on Dec.
4, 2012.
He was the
beloved hus-
band of the
late Angelina
Angie (nee
Innacola); pre-
deceased by
brother Frank
and sister
Joan (Yuhas);
loving father
of Janice
Cokos (John), Jerelyn Ablonczy
(Eric Brosz), both of Haddonfield,
and Joanne Popeson (Dennis) of
Linwood; devoted grandfather of
Paige (Cokos) Rienzo, Brie Cokos,
Spenser and Taylor Popeson,
Maria and Paul Ablonczy; and
great-grandfather of Xavier, Luke
and Nico.
The consummate member of
the Greatest Generation, Paul
served his country proudly for
three years in the Army Air
Corps as an airplane armorer
during World War II and lived on
as an even prouder veteran and
avid storyteller, engendering a
profound respect for military
service in his children and grand-
children.
He was awarded the Asiatic-Pa-
cific Service Medal and Euro-
pean-African-Middle Eastern
Service Medal.
Upon returning from the war,
he reunited with his sweetheart,
Angie, to whom he was married
for 67 years. They settled in Colo-
nia, where he became an active
member of community organiza-
tions, especially the American Le-
gion and VFW, where he was ulti-
mately honored with a lifetime
membership.
He owned and operated Avenel
Auto Body Repair Shop from 1945
to 1975, but was masterful
throughout his life at fixing any
gadget, big or small.
Angie and Paul moved to Had-
donfield in 2000 to be closer to
their daughters and were relent-
less fans of the many pursuits of
their grandchildren. Immensely
proud of his Hungarian ancestry,
he relished in conversing with his
relatives in Hungary and sharing
Hungarian traditions with every-
one, especially at his annual sza-
luna fry.
Paul's uncanny mental and
physical strength even in his last
years (he took no medication at 94
and was wary of doctors) are tes-
tament to the power of relentless
puzzle solving and laughter. Noto-
rious for his jovial spirit and joke
telling, Paul brought laughs
wherever he went.
If the words didnt make you
laugh, his hearty laughter at his
own joke surely would. He enter-
tained the world up until the day
he passed (even in the ER) and is
no doubt telling a joke some-
where now.
In lieu of flowers, the family re-
quests donations be made to the
American Legion online at
www.legion.org.
Frank W. Betley
Dec. 5, 2012
On Dec. 5, 2012, longtime Had-

ther of Maryanne Woytowicz
(Tom) of Ocean City, Tom of Had-
donfield and Joe (Brenda) of Mt.
Laurel, devoted grandfather of
Michael (Kelly), Patrick (Katie),
Kathleen, Madalyn, Christopher
(Emily), Matthew and Brian Bet-
ley and Elizabeth and Robert
Woytowicz and great grandfather
of Michael and Bodyn and loving
brother of Marie Betlejewski and
the late Stanley Betley.
Frank had been a Haddonfield
resident and member of Christ
the King R.C. Church since 1968.
Additionally, he owned and op-
erated F.W. Betley & Assoc. for
more than 25 years.

22 THE HADDONFIELD SUN DEC. 12-18, 2012
Concerns about school
tax monies well founded
Mr. Bob Webb in his letter to
the editor in the Nov. 28 to Dec. 4
edition of The Haddonfield Sun
raises appropriate concerns
about how the Board of Educa-
tion is spending our school tax
monies.
54.7 percent of our property
taxes go to support the schools.
Most of us think that they
should be able to pay for an en-
riched environment with what
tax monies they get, without
charging additional user fees
from the students for participa-
tion in talent shows as noted by
Mr. Webb.
When my son was at the high
school in 1994, he didn't need to
pay extra to participate in theater
programs or in sports or for a tal-
ent show or other extracurricular
activities.
The taxes we paid at that time
have now almost doubled al-
though the value of our house
has not. I am not convinced that
the children are getting an appre-
ciably better education, perhaps
just a more expensive one.
Like the federal government,
Haddonfield has arrived at its
own fiscal cliff, brought there by
the irresponsible governance of
the last 10 to 15 years. We have a
budget deficit and are yet preced-
ing with expensive programs that
benefit only small numbers of in-
dividuals but
will result in increased taxes for
all.
The planned artificial turf
fields on the former Bancroft
property will ultimately cost $1
million every eight years for
maintenance in addition to the
$16.8 million we will be paying for
property assessed at considerably
less than that.
In the end, all of our taxes will
be going up even more because of
this Bancroft deal. If this referen-
dum passes, I predict that we will
soon have another referendum to
build a new high school.
We need to get our fiscal house
in order and we can't continue to
do it on the backs of the taxpay-
ers.
We need to vote no on the Ban-
croft referendum on Jan. 22 and
send a loud and clear message to
our elected officials that enough
is enough.
Susan Hoch, MD
Mayors 2005 stance:
Bancroft is last resort
Haddonfield Mayor Colombi
once observed that purchasing
Bancroft should be a "last
resort."
The borough, Colombi noted,
should strive to "get what we
want" with respect to Bancroft
"without borrowing millions of
dollars.
Mayor Colombi's comments ap-
peared in the Sept. 20, 2005 edition
of the Haddon Herald at a time
when the economy was sound
and unemployment low.
But flash forward to the reces-
sionary present, and the borrow-
ing has just begun. Haddonfield
voters will be asked this coming
January to approve or reject the
Board of Education's request to
borrow nearly $12 million for the
purchase of Bancroft. And that's
just for starters: School Board of-
ficials are already contemplating
a range of future projects at Ban-
croft such as a high school annex,
an educational campus, STEM,
etc.
Those projects will come with
multi-million dollar price tags
and even more borrowing all at
taxpayer expense.
Clearly the Haddonfield Board
of Education's proposal to pur-
chase Bancroft is anything but a
"last resort." The Board's own
July 2012 proposal for the Ban-
croft Property concluded that it's
"likely" Bancroft will "stay and
improve the property" if voters
reject the purchase.
Notably, if Bancroft stays, the
cost to Haddonfield taxpayers will
be zero, which is the kind of "last
resort" that would be welcomed
by Haddonfield taxpayers weary
of shouldering some of
the nation's highest property
taxes.
So why in a faltering economy
is Haddonfield now chomping at
the bit to purchase Bancroft?
Bancroft has occupied the proper-
ty for more than 100 years, and ac-
cording to our elected officials, is
likely to stay.
Yet some elected officials and
their supporters are touting the
purchase of Bancroft as the op-
portunity of a lifetime, a last
chance, and a deal that's just
too good to pass up.
If those pitches strike you as a
high-pressure sale, you're not
alone.
That's why Haddonfield United
is urging residents to consider
the wise words of Mayor Colombi
vintage 2005, when pulling the
lever on Jan. 22, 2013.

DEC. 12-18, 2012 THE HADDONFIELD SUN 23
According to Haddonfield
Schools Superintendent Dr.
Richard Perry, the district is cog-
nizant of taxpayers.
In the most recent school budg-
et, there was no tax levy increase,
he said.
If the referendum is approved,
the property tax for the average
home would increase by about
$200, if the anticipated amount of
funding from other sources
comes through. That would still
stay in line with the 2 percent
state-mandated cap, said Perry.
The bond referendum was re-
cently reduced from $16.8 million
to $12.5 million due to $3.5 million
in anticipated open space/green
acres funding from the county
and state, as well as from the ef-
forts of the Lets Turf It commit-
tee.
The committee raised $600,000
for the high school football field.
We truly are in a crossroads
in terms of the culture and histo-
ry of Haddonfield, said Perry.
Were either going to go right or
left. There is no middle.
In recent months, there have
been several meetings to discuss
the referendum in detail.
We have listened. We listened
at every meeting, Perry said.
Weve changed our plan 17 times
because we listened to people.
Talks will continue if the refer-
endum passes, he said, for the fu-
ture land uses.
I think it should be the pub-
lics choice, he said.
The referendum is being held
in January, a time residents who
attended meetings last summer
found disagreeable, to give time
for due diligence at the property.
Perry isnt worried, though,
about the date.
I think were going to have a
big turnout on Jan. 22, he said.
Those who head to the polls, he
said, will be actually casting a
vote for the future of Haddon-
field.
And therefore, Perry said he
wants residents to understand
the facts, rather than any percep-
tions, of the potential purchase.
If the town decides against the
acquisition, the high school will
be boxed in and will be unable to
grow into a campus-style school,
he said.
Competitors such as Cherry
Hill and Moorestown have much
more space to work with, whereas
in Haddonfield, its tough to find a
parking space near the school.
That, Perry said, will become
even more difficult in the future,
with the possibility of increased
enrollment and other town fac-
tors.
The school system is why a lot
of people move here, he said.
Right now, numerous high
schools have campuses. We dont,
and were the best one.
A land lock, he said, will affect
all students as well as residents.
The referendum is not a frivo-
lous expense, he said.
We want people to realize the
urgency of this, he said. It will
ultimately box in our high school
in many ways.
If the vote passes, there would
be room to breathe for expan-
sions, curricular, athletic and per-
forming arts upgrades, including
the potential for growth in a
STEM (Science, Technology, En-
gineering and Math) program,
said Perry.
Nearing the 300th birthday of
the borough, Perry said that sac-
rifices have to be made for the bet-
terment of the town.
Its so much more than just
buildings and land, he said. Its
about our future.
We are pieces in time, he
added. We have a responsibility
and duty to also make sacrifices.
What if Elizabeth Haddon
didnt come to town? he ques-
tioned.
To organizers of One Haddon-
field, the group in favor of the ref-
erendum, its time to progress
with the plans set forth.
If this referendum for com-
munity use is not approved in
January, we are back to square
one with alternate proposals. In
the past some proposals have
been for uses totally unacceptable
to our community. I am more
than ready to put the anxiety and
drama of the Bancroft question
behind us and move
forward, Jack OMalley of One
Haddonfield said in a Nov. 19
statement.
Haddonfield United, a group
active on Facebook and opposed
to the referendum, launched on
Nov. 12.
In its announcement, founder
Brian Kelly said that an approval
would force residents out of
town.
At least one commissioner has
conceded that the purchase will
drive out some less affluent resi-
dents who will no longer be able
to afford the resulting property
tax increases, said Kelly in the
statement.
But, according to Perry, this
referendum is about more than
just a tax increase.
There are going to be issues
but you cant point to every issue
in town and connect it with the
Bancroft initiative, said Perry.
