Shawnee High School’s Ryan Ross defeated Lenape High School’s Mike Krosnodomski in the 160pound class, 5-1. The Shawnee wrestling team made the short trip to Lenape last week to take on
its rivals in a battle of two top squads in the region. The Renegades got off to a hot start but were
not able to ride the momentum to a victory. They lost a close one, 36-30, lowering their record to
8-3.
Students of the Medford Township public school system will be
pleased to hear that Tuesday, Feb.
9 has been declared a districtwide “homework holiday.” So rejoice, kids, and while you’re at it,
get the family together for a nice
dinner out on mom and dad.

“Students are able to accomplish amazing things when given
the resources,” Michael Condurso, department coordinator for
the technology education department at Lenape High School, said.
Condurso teaches the first-year
course of the Project Lead the
Way program, an introduction to
engineering design at Lenape.
His PLTW group just recently
received 3-D printers through a
$7,500 grant awarded by BAE Systems Inc. The printers will expand the resources available to
students and give them the opportunity to visualize the concepts
they are learning.
“Students are now able to experience what they learn, rather
than just hear about it or watch a
video on it,” Condurso said. “I
feel it promotes a deeper understanding of concepts and really
engages students.”
“We are looking forward to a
partnership with BAE Systems in
which their engineers can serve
as guest speakers and sounding
boards for our students working
on capstone projects,” said
Heather Xenakis, Lenape Regional High School District director of
curriculum and instruction.

Council discusses potential
renovations at Headwater Village
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
A discussion item that was
first introduced at a Medford
Town Council meeting on Dec. 15
resurfaced on Jan. 19.
Headwater Village residents
have been attempting to put together a donation campaign to receive recreational items. They are
looking to add things such as
park benches, basketball hoops,
swing sets and streetlights to
their community. The Great
Bridge and the Wakefield Drive
areas in their development both
play host to tennis courts, a baseball field, bonfires and walking
paths the residents feel need to be
renovated.
The village wants the township
to take the reins of this campaign
in hopes that it encourages people
to donate recreational facilities.
Headwater Village is a nonprofit homeowners association, but it
is not tax exempt, so it can’t offer
a tax deduction to do a fundraiser
to buy a park bench or a picnic
table, for example.
However, if the township were
to do it, it could offer that deduction, and people would be more
likely to donate.
Several suggestions derived
from this idea included whether
Medford could take the improvements made by the township and
transfer them to the homeowners
association. Council also kicked
around the idea of a citizen donating to the township for a park
bench so they could get a tax deduction, because the township is
a nonprofit and it would be for
public use.
However, the main concern
that seemed to deter the council
from moving forward was the
idea of maintaining these possessions.
“My concern is ultimately it’s
going to come back on the township to maintain all of this,”

It’s that time of year again when tough decisions have to be made
f you sit on a school board or municipal governing body, you’re entering the part of the year that
probably causes you the most
headaches. It’s budget time. It’s time to
do the impossible: provide outstanding
service for little or no money.
A few years ago, Gov. Christie made
headlines – and more than a few enemies – when he slashed state funding
and eventually added a 2 percent cap
on tax hikes.
Since then, at least some of the
money has returned. Sometime this
month, the governor will release state
funding figures for this year.
But it’s safe to say that no district or
town will find itself rolling in dough.
Governing bodies will continue to face
decisions that involve reducing or
holding the line on services and/or

Think taxes are too high? Think services
have been cut too deeply? Now is the time
to make your voice heard. It’s budget season, and most local governing bodies have
ways to involve the public in the decisionmaking process.
raising taxes. And we all love more
taxes, don’t we?
We already pay the highest property
taxes in the nation, so why not pay
more? One bright spot – some would
say the only bright spot – to come of
this is that many governing bodies
these days have made the budget
process open to the public.
“Transparent” is the watchword
today.
It’s a smart move to involve the public – everyone from those who want to
cut taxes to the bone to those who
would like to see expanded services.
When the public is invited in, they
not only see the difficult choices leaders have to make, but they also feel like
they have a voice. Leaders are listening
to them. Their input is valued. While
not everyone will be happy with every
decision, at least there is a sense of inclusion and “ownership” of the
process.
We encourage everyone to get involved with their local budget processes this year. In most instances, there
will be hearings. Items will be posted
online.
It’s easy to offer your suggestions to
the people who eventually will make
the final decision.
And, chances are, your feedback will
be appreciated.

reer path.”
The Pathway to Engineering program
from PLTW is a highly competitive program designed to attract and retain students interested in pursuing a STEM-related postsecondary education and, ultimately, career.
Lenape and Seneca high schools were
chosen to pilot the PLTW engineering program during the 2014-2015 school year so
they are in their second year, while Cherokee and Shawnee high schools are experiencing the inaugural year.
BAE Systems, located in Mt. Laurel, is
just one of the community partners that
enables LRHSD to offer the program.
“BAE Systems is proud to partner with
the Lenape Regional High School District
to help inspire the next generation and ignite their passion for STEM. We look forward to continuing our partnership in 2016
and beyond,” said Tony Contino, program
manager/department manager of AEGIS
TECHREP Engineering Support Services
at BAE Systems, Inc.
PLTW is a non-profit organization that
is the leading provider of STEM education
curriculum programs in schools across the
United States. PLTW works to prepare students for the global economy, one increasingly focused on high-growth and technology-driven occupations.
According to PLTW, by 2018, the nation
will have more than 1.2 million unfilled
STEM jobs because there will not be
enough qualified workers. PLTW advocates STEM learning because the organization believes those fields will provide the
most job growth now and in the future.
STEM education has been historically
taught in segments, with students learning
some content in science class, some in
technology and engineering, and some in
mathematics. PLTW allows the students to
learn the content through working on contextual projects that inherently require
knowledge of all STEM content areas.
Students leave the class with a greater
understanding of the relationships between concepts, increased technological
literacy and a greater capacity for innovation.
“They also become better team members
and communicators through working on
collaborative projects. These skill sets will
serve them well in whatever they choose to
pursue in the future,” Condurso said.
The Pathway to Engineering program is
a four-year sequence of courses that allows

outing, pool party and basketball
throwdown.
MEF members Cindy Perr and
Jennifer Tredwell have taken the
reins of the Dine Out event along
with long-time president of the
group TommieAnn Gibney.
“TommieAnn has just been a
stellar leader. Her heart is in the
right place. She puts a focus on
doing the right things to make the
most of all of our events and tries
to increase our income each
year,” Tredwell said.
As a mom who has had and
currently has kids in the Medford
public school system, Tredwell
says the foundation is a really
great initiative to try to enhance
education.
“It’s fun, it’s rewarding,” she
said.
The group consists mostly of
moms who are volunteering their
time while working another job,
so they are always looking for
more volunteers on the board or
ideas regarding ways they can
work together with local businesses to raise money.
“We’re really lucky, but there’s
always special projects and extra
things teachers and staff members would like to do,” Tredwell
said.
Being a nonprofit, the foundation offers a grant program open
to all of the teachers and nurses
to submit anything not being covered within the normal scope of
their teaching budget.
Staff members propose their
plan and the expenses are covered
by the foundation if the grant application is approved.
The foundation attributes
much of its success to the local
businesses that are repeat participants.
These companies help year
after year and make events such
as the Dine Out possible.
Tredwell also expressed her appreciation for schools relieving
students of their homework duties for the night.
“This will clear up schedules
so parents won't have to worry
about homework getting done
and will allow for some nice family time,” Tredwell said.
All community members are
encouraged to dine out that day at
one of the participating restaurants for breakfast, lunch or dinner to help raise funds for school
programs.
“We encourage everyone to get
out and support a good cause,
maybe try a new restaurant, and
save on the cooking and clean
up!” Tredwell said. “Thanks in
advance to all who will participate."
Be sure to bring the MEF flyer
with you that can be downloaded
on its website (www.medfordeducationfoundation.org) before you
go. Advance reservations are also
recommended.

Township would be liable for maintenance
TOWNSHIP
Continued from page 4
township manager Kathy Berger
said. “And I just don’t know if we
want to go down that path.”
Medford would be liable for all
the long-term maintenance of
anything that was donated, as a
result of it being on the township's property.
“It seems like we have a number of facilities now that maintaining them is becoming more of
a burden than a benefit to the taxpayers,” Councilman Christopher
Buoni said.
As Councilman Frank Czekay
pointed out, the maintenance of a
park bench is quite simple. Once
it begins to deteriorate, you throw
it out.
However, as Berger mentioned,
once you start getting into swing
sets and larger items, you start to
get into annual inspections to
meet certain parameters and
more legwork.
“Yes, playground equipment is
a different animal,” Czekay said.
“Lighting is, too, because we
would have to pay for the electric
and fix it if the light blows out.”
As far as lights go, the township recreation rules state that no
one is to be at the park after dusk,
so the parks are technically
closed during the hours lights
would be needed.
Unfortunately, a situation similar to this one hasn’t arisen in a
neighboring township, so council

Resident Colleen Stover said
the tennis courts at Headwater
are the only public tennis courts
available to folks other than the
ones at the high schools. In fact,
when it comes to residential communities, the common areas at
Headwater are the only ones in
Medford the township owns.

were dispatched to 10 Tidswell
Ave. for a report of a structural
collapse of a building.
An unoccupied warehouse on
the property sustained a complete
roof and partial structural collapse ostensibly caused by heavy

The building has been deemed

students to gain STEM knowledge and learn how to solve problems. The first year is an introduction to engineering design,
the third year is principles of engineering, and the fourth year is
engineering design and development. Schools get to choose
which course to offer during the
second year from different specialization courses.
The new 3-D printers will enhance the students’ experience
throughout this process.
“Students will use the 3D printers to create and test solutions to

as they advance in the program,”
Condurso said.
Students in IED use an industry standard 3D design software,

ate the solutions in ways they
were previously not able to do.
“This is the point where theory
and practice converge, and there
is a whole new world of learning
that opens up as a result of being
able to test actual models of a designed part or group of parts,”
Condurso said.
There are now printers at all
four high schools in the Lenape
district, thanks to the grant. The
printers are housed in the technology department, but PLTW
representatives are looking to explore ways for other departments
in the school to use them.
BAE Systems is donating another $7,500 to the district for the
program again this year, but the
district has not yet decided how
the funds will be used.
