Haddonfield Outdoor Sculpture Trust unveils art installment, ‘The Witnesses’ By BRIGIT BAUMA The Sun You might have noticed some peculiar individuals standing on the sidewalk at 131 Kings Highway East. These two older looking individuals cast in a bronze coating stare out across the highway with their unusual visage. One must ask, why are they here? These individuals, named Sidney and Elliot, are part of Haddonfield’s art initiative with the Haddonfield Outdoor Sculpture Trust. The sculptures, together called “The Witnesses,” had their unveiling ceremony on Wednesday, May 27 with Stuart Harting of the HOST, “The Witnesses” artist Michelle Post, Philadelphia Museum of Art Inside/Out Project Coordinator Gina Ciralli, Mayor Jeff Kasko please see ARTIST, page 24 Technology is the way of now as well as the way of the future. Everywhere you go, you see people walking down the street with a cellphone in hand or looking at their laptop at a local coffee shop. Jobs are now asking for computer skills, many times much more advanced than individuals were taught in school. That is why Haddonfield Public Schools are working to incorporate technology into their curriculum. “Technology is a huge part of students’ daily lives today. Our students use tablets, laptops and phones at home as part of their everyday lives. To stay relevant, we try to work to get technology into the curriculum as much as we can,” Elizabeth Haddon Principal Gerry Bissinger said. One teacher who is really leading the way with incorporating new technology and digital media in the classroom is Elizabeth Haddon Elementary School thirdgrade teacher Debbie Adams. Adams, a nationally board-certified teacher in her third year teaching at the school, recently had her hard work recognized as she was named one of only 100 educators from across the country as a 2015 PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovator. PBS LearnADAMS ingMedia, the on-demand digital media service from PBS offering more than 100,000 digital resources for educators, announced the 100 educators selected for the 2015 Innovators program last month. The program, in its third year, recognizes tech-savvy K-12 educators who are serving as leaders in the education technology space and incorporating digital media in classrooms. “We are thrilled to honor this group of teachers who are bringing innovation to the classroom every day and to provide them with professional development opportunities and resources that will continue to elevate them in today’s 21st-century classrooms,” said Alicia Levi, vice president of please see ADAMS, page 22 INSIDE THIS ISSUE Honoring military personnel Commissioners approve ‘Service Appreciation Day.’ PAGE 7 Calendar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 Classified . . . . . . . . . . . 25–29 Editorials . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 Obituary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 2 THE HADDONFIELD SUN — JUNE 3–9, 2015 obituary Jane M.

At the end of the year, superintendents are required to review the district goals to their boards of education. “This is a snapshot of what we do in regard to the goals that we establish at the beginning of the year,” Perry said. According to Perry, this year was unusual as the district had a lot of different topics to address that weren’t in the original goals set last July for the 2014-2015 school year. Some of the achievements not under the parameters of the goals were settling the teachers contracts, which resulted in both sides being happy and coming to an agreement; creating a strategic plan to update and maintain facilities and buildings; developing the budget under a 2 percent increase with everything else going up more than 2 percent; and increasing the district’s tuition program, especially in regard to international students, which adds diversity to the student body and increases revenue. “There are a lot of things that we are doing that aren’t within the framework of the goals… Other districts may look at their goals and think, ‘that is it,’ but for us, that is never it. Now, as we are going into graduation we are thinking of other ways that we can progress and do that,” Perry said. The overarching statement for the 2014-2015 year was “support educators to continue teaching in our tradition of innovation, rigor, engagement and creativity for student success.” The goals were to “maintain or improve the quality of student academic performance at all grade levels;” “continue to recruit and retain the best staff and empower them to do their jobs;” and “implement a cost-effective, longrange plan to meet student enrollment growth and infrastructure needs in order to support our students.” Be social.

The first goal was achieved at the high school through things such as providing peer tutoring and exposing students to Chinese exchange students. The middle school promoted and modeled positive communications with students’ parents and families, and teachers provided students with instruction that incorporated ethical use of technology. The elementary schools revised the social studies curriculum and writing program to align with Common Core standards and implemented a new typing program to help students develop their typing skills. For both the high school and elementary schools, the district prepared students, teachers and parents for the PARCC test. For the second goal, the district worked with local colleges and universities to immerse staff in 21st century learning at the high school, empowering them by recognizing their individual achievements over the district email through the middle school, and provided professional development to teachers and administrators on DIBELS assessment for early detection of dyslexia in the please see NEXT, page 20 6 THE HADDONFIELD SUN — JUNE 3–9, 2015 in our opinion Stay in your car! 108 Kings Highway East Haddonfield, NJ 08033 856-427-0933 Put down the gas pump: Legislators say no to self-service at gas stations here aren’t too many times when you’ll read a pro-government-restriction opinion in this space. As you can probably tell by our previous diatribes, we mostly stand for free enterprise without restrictions. But today, we are in a nutty mood. We’re all for keeping government restrictions in place, at least at the gas pump. Last week, state legislators put a swift halt to a potential proposal to lift New Jersey’s gas-pumping restrictions and allow drivers to pump their own gas at the station, and we like what our elected officials have done in this case – for once. New Jersey has banned self service at gas stations for almost 70 years, and we see no reason to change that now. T Your thoughts What do you think about New Jersey’s ban on self-service gas stations? Share your thoughts on this, and other topics, through a letter to the editor. Sure, as many people have argued, having attendants pump our gas for us is in New Jersey culture. It’s part of who we are – spoiled people who don’t have to brave the heat, the cold, the rain, the wind or the snow to re-fill our gas-guzzling automobiles. Sure, it’s nice to have a gas attendant pump our gas and provide an extra level of security when we need to fill up on a not-so-crowded road at 4 in the morning when we’re avoiding Shore traffic on a holiday weekend. But the biggest reason we believe New Jersey shouldn’t lift the restrictions on pumping gas is because it would cost a lot of people a job. There are thousands of people in New Jersey who have a job pumping gas. Even if it’s not a high-paying job, it still provides necessary income for those workers. Lift the ban, and these people will instantly be out of a job. If allowing self-service gas pumping would significantly reduce prices at the pump, then our stance might be different. But estimates say the switch would only save a few cents per gallon, which means the real winners would be the gas station owners – not the drivers. So thumbs up to the recent decision to not lift the government restriction. It might be the last time you read those words in this space. letter to the editor Round of applause for dedicated library staff The dedicated staff at the Haddonfield Public Library deserves a special round of applause for installing a temporary library setup on Kings Highway while our regular library is being updated. They did this difficult task in a matter of three weeks. People should stop in at the Kings Highway location and see how they have made it possible for our citizens to get exceptional service, as usual, with limited space. In the 40 years that I have constantly used the library, this has always been the case with our staff. They really care! The children's department is second to none; services for regular users are constant; special programing is always varied for the many types of audiences such as senior citizens, teen, casual users and business people. Having suffered the sadness of fighting for a "state of the library" that failed after 30 years of effort and the spending of thousands of dollars, we can say it wasn't because the staff didn't work beyond the call of duty under deplorable conditions. Those who don't experience the library much, but think it is so "cute" from the outside couldn't appreciate the needs it satisfies. It is sad that Haddonfield’s so-called "educated" community never gave this the priority that it gave so instantly to such things as "AstroTurf." Thank you to the strong-minded individuals who are willing to serve our community under these conditions. The Friends of the Library, too, should take a bow for their amazing fundraising effort that made so many of the programs that contribute so much to the success of the library.

JUNE 3–9, 2015 – THE HADDONFIELD SUN 7 ‘Service Appreciation Day’ June 13 will honor military personnel By BRIGIT BAUMA The Sun At their Tuesday, May 26 meeting, Haddonfield commissioners authorized the Partnership for Haddonfield to hold a “Service Appreciation Day” and approved the release of a performance bond for the Grove Street Utility Improvements Program. The PfH Marketing Committee is sponsoring “Service Appreciation Day” on Saturday, June 13 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., with a rain date of Sunday, June 14 from noon to 4 p.m. The event will honor the town’s military personnel, Haddonfield Police Department, Haddonfield Auxiliary Police, Haddon Fire Company No. 1 and American Legion Post 38 with special promotions. For the event, the Partnership will provide real estate-style signs, balloon bouquets in front of participating stores, outdoor entertainment such as live music, a face painter and a balloon artist, recruiter tents for the military, police, fire department and other authorized vendors, and various food vendors. For more information on the event, visit www.downtownhaddonfield.com/events-entries/service-appreciation-day/. “What they will do is they will have some balloon bouquets and outdoor entertainment. They’ll be honoring folks in the police department, fire department, American Legion and our armed forces. There will be some recruiter tents and some information about those things…. Just an appreciation day for those folks they’d like to honor and use it as an event to get people to come downtown. Seems like a nice event…it will be the first time that we try it,” Mayor Jeff Kasko said. Commissioners also authorized the release of a performance bond for the Grove Street Utility Improvements Program for $1.9 million. Prior to the recommended release of the performance bond, the borough engineer recommended the activation of the maintenance bond in the amount of $1.4 million to be held for a period of two years in case anything unexpected comes up. This performance bond was for the utility work the borough did last year on Grove Street while it still owned the system. The work that is being done now is being conducted by New Jersey American Water. According to Commissioner John Moscatelli, there are other parts NJAW wanted to do and take care of before the county repaves the road. “This is releasing the performance bond, meaning that the work is done, and the maintenance bond will kick in, in case we have any issues going forward,” Moscatelli said. The roadwork done by the county will take about six months to complete. Residents and drivers should see the work begin around July. In other news: • Commissioners approved general event permit applications for the following organizations to sponsor events in the borough: Friends of the Indian King Tavern Museum Revolutionary Skirmish on June 6; Haddonfield Kids Triathlon on June 7; Ivivva Free Yoga Class on June 7; Haddonfield Celebrations Association’s July 4th Parade on July 4; Tatem Elementary School Tatem 5K Trail Blazer on Oct. 10; and Haddonfield Celebrations Association’s Tree Lighting Ceremony on Nov. 27. • Commissioners approved the annual ordinance that establishes the salaries and wages for certain borough employees. • The next commissioners meeting will be on June 9 at 7:30 p.m. in Borough Hall.

This May marked the second full year of operation of the Camden County Police Department, which came with significant accolades. Just last month the new law enforcement agency was visited by the President of the United States and the U.S. Department of Justice for the work being done within the city. Our officers got to tell the leader of the free world how they build bridges and relationships in communities and President Barack Obama held the department up as a national model during a major policy announcement at the Kroc Center. So far in 2015, about 400 police officers have been focusing on human contact and fostering a dialogue with residents in the city to reduce crime. As I write this, violent crime is down another 20 percent from the same time in 2014 and we have cut homicides in half from the same time last year. In other words, the department’s strategic initiatives have made an impact and continue to foster community within Camden’s 21 neighborhoods. Moving forward - knowing that the city’s population is very young - our commitment has been to engage the youth in their schools, churches and community centers in active programming. Police officers read to kindergarteners in Whitman Park, they have a buddy system in Centerville and play regular basketball games in the Water- front South neighborhood against teams from all over the city’s ninesquare miles. Furthermore, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out a new g roundbreaking task force Project Guardian made up of federal, state and local law enforcement partners to intervene with kids before they become full-fledged gang members. That said, the changes we collectively have made are far from over and this is a long-term project that will create significant dividends for the community if we stay the course. Since the city has been made safer the largest investment dollars and economic development in the nation have landed in Camden. Make no mistake without the work of the men and women in uniform and their civilian counterparts, none of this would be possible. Today, we still have significant social inequities to address, including the grinding poverty that inhabits several neighborhoods in the city. That said, with real job training and growing economic opportunities for the city and the county we can make an impact at remedying those issues. In short we have come a long way in two years, but there is still a tremendous amount of work to be done. For more information, please call me at (856) 225-5451, or email me at [email protected].

New Jersey American Water plans to invest approximately $6.5 million over the next year to improve Haddonfield’s water and wastewater systems. “Aging water and wastewater systems like Haddonfield’s face significant challenges,” said Carmen Tierno, senior director of Operations for New Jersey American Water. “We have worked with the borough to identify the most critical needs of the water and wastewater systems that need to be addressed and we have an aggressive plan to make upgrades. Over the next five years, New Jersey American Water will spend more than $16 million on system modernization.” To continue to provide an avenue for customer input, New Jersey American Water is forming a citizens advisory panel comprised of Haddonfield residents which will meet quarterly.

Re-enactors portraying the Loyalists to the King and the Colonialists will face-off in downtown Haddonfield at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 6. The 3rd annual “Skirmish on Kings Highway” marks the 237th anniversary of the British encampment in Haddonfield. Hosted by the Friends of the Indian King Tavern, this family-friendly event celebrates the history of the town and tells the tale of Haddonfield’s rich Revolutionary War heritage. Starting at 10 a.m. on June 6, the 2nd Pennsylvania Regiment – the Rebels – will encamp at the Indian King Tavern at 233 Kings Highway East, until they battle with the First Battalion of New Jersey Volunteers (the Red Coats or Loyalists). Around 1 p.m., the Red Coats will march down Kings Highway and encounter a regiment of Colonial Rebels, where the first shot will be fired. There will be plenty of space for viewing and cheering along Kings Highway, which will be shut to traffic. The skirmish starts at 1 p.m. and should take about 30 minutes, so don’t be late. After the smoke clears, meet members of both regiments at the Tavern to learn more about the life of the Revolutionary War soldier. Later in the afternoon, children will be able to march like soldiers with wooden muskets down Kings Highway. Tours of the historic tavern will be offered throughout the day.

JUNE 3–9, 2015 – THE HADDONFIELD SUN 11 L Haddonfield Crew rows strong at regatta After a one-year hiatus, the SRAA National Championship Regatta returned to the Cooper River on May 22-23, and the Haddonfield Crew Club maximized its home field advantage to produce some thrilling results over the weekend. Eight Haddonfield boats entered the competition; four made it to the semi-finals, including the Men’s Varsity 2X, the Women’s Lightweight 8 and both the Men’s and Women’s JV8’s, who went on to compete in the finals. The Women’s JV8 completed a strong season with a fourth-place finish in the Grand Finals at Nationals, following a fourth-place finish in the finals of the prestigious Stotesbury Regatta and a third-place finish in the finals of the Philadelphia City Championships, both of which took place on the Schuylkill River earlier in May. The boat was powered by Elina Kommedal, Mia Ippolito, Caroline Bolletino, Christine Castorino, Hannah Cooper, Kate Special to The Sun From left, men's JV8 coach Tim Hagan, Owen Hart, Blaise Giangiulio, Luke Small, Max Levin, Alex Sperandio, Lachlan Mersky, Alex Fisher, Zack Ruggiero, Matt Schmitt and assistant coach Matt Bowen at Nationals raced to a photo finish in the finals, coming in .1 seconds behind first place St. Edward’s. Donohue, Kathleen Hohweiler, Abigail Bentley and coxswain Emma Tranfalia. After coming from behind to win their heat in the semi-final event on Saturday, the Men’s JV8 raced to a photo finish in the finals, coming in .1 seconds behind first-place St. Edward’s (OH). It was a thrilling end to a terrific season and represented the first medal awarded to a Haddonfield men’s boat in the national competition. Earlier in May, the Haddonfield Men’s JV8 had achieved a fifth-place finish in the finals at Stotesbury and fourth-place in the finals at the City Championships. Oarsmen in the JV8 included Blaise Giangiulio, Luke Small, Max Levin, Alex Sperandio, Lachlan Mersky, Alex Fisher, Zack Ruggiero, Matt Schmitt and coxswain Owen Hart. cell: 609-304-8537 office: 856-616-7135 email: [email protected] Address: 41 S.

HADDONFIELD MIDDLE SCHOOL JUNE 2015 Sea Perch Succeeds By Teo Lupinetti The Haddonfield Middle School Sea Perch Club recently competed in the Greater Philadelphia Sea Perch Challenge, a competition held at the Drexel University Recreation Center. This year events included the returning underwater vehicle obstacle course, as well as a special task to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the competition. In this task, the ROV (remotely operated vehicle) must detonate a satellite and recover an enemy drone that crashladed. Sea Perch is an underwater robotics program, sponsored by the Navy, which encourages students who excel in science to pursue an engineering career. The challenge is open to all school districts in Delaware, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. Students are provided a starter kit that is com- Photo by Bulldawg Bulletin Jr. Staff The HMS Sea Perch team, under the direction of Mr. Kozak, won an engineering process award and a first place trophy for notebook documentation at the Greater Philadelphia Sea Perch Challenge at the Drexel University Recreation Center. Members of the team pictured left to right: Claudio Carusone, Pierre Yan, Teo Lupinetti, Julie Rose Chin, Mark Vaughn, Belle Romea, Andrew Kurtz, Billy Yocco and Eldrige Lee. prised of basic materials (mainly low-cost, easily accessible parts) from which they must create a fully functional ROV that can per- form the tasks of that year’s competition. In addition to an ROV, teams must prepare an oral presentation and submit a poster and a documentation notebook, which demonstrates the journey leading up to the competition. Mr. Kozak, a well-respected eighth-grade science teacher at the Middle School, has been directing the club at HMS for five years. When asked about this year’s competition, he replied, “Hours and hours of hard work and preparation come down to three ten-minute challenges to determine your fate. Thankfully this year, all of the hard work the team put in was rewarded.” After previously coming in seventh place, Haddonfield returned this year looking for a trophy and they were not denied. Along with winning a $100 Engineering Process Award given to the team that best demonstrated the design progression of their craft, Haddonfield returned with the first place trophy for notebook documentation. This was the first time the HMS club won first place and was hopefully not the last. In the Sea Perch challenge, the top two teams move on to the National Sea Perch Challenge held at Dartmouth in Massachusetts. This year Haddonfield thought they had a shot at Nationals after driver Teo Lupinetti, along with teammate Martin Riddell, completed the obstacle course with the second fastest time of 1:34.17. Teo and teammate Claudio Carusone were one of only three teams that completed the secret mission challenge. Haddonfield placed second overall out of 39 teams, just missing the overall championship by .002 of a point! Although the HMS Sea Perch Club missed the cut this year, it lives to fight another day! Spanish class helps Guatemalan students By Devi Bass, Joe Walls and Elise Fiannaca Last month, two passionate groups of Spanish students joined together in a quest to bring education to the thirsty minds of three young, impoverished Guatemalan students. They achieved their goal through money raised from bake sales. With scrumptious sugary goodies created by the students themselves and generous donations, they were able to raise $1,080. "It really felt rewarding to help someone in need," says Griffin Wiener, a participant in the bake sale. "I felt deep inside that I could help these people... I could do something. It made me feel better about myself," says Mia Frontino, an HMS eighth grader who contributed to the cause. The Guatemalan kids that changed the outlooks of Haddonfield Middle School students are Omar Josías, Catarina Sara, Germán Yovani. HMS students were able to sponsor each of them through one year of high school; providing tuition, basic nutritional needs, uniforms and school supplies. The students donated their money to the Guatemalan stu- dents through the website Mayanfamilies.org. Liam Bluer, who works at the organization, expressed his gratitude to the HMS students. He states, “We warmly welcome you to our global community of supporters and could not be more grateful for your generosity. The gift of knowledge is truly priceless and we thank you for supporting our vision that every impoverished child in the region can obtain an education." The students first witnessed poverty in Guatemala when they watched the documentary “Living On One.” It followed a handful of college aged students on an experimental trip to Guatemala, where they attempted to live under the conditions that the poor of that area live under every day. The boys lived in the village with the impoverished townsfolk, and got to know them as people. As the boys in the film grew closer to these real people, so did the students in Señora Pilla’s class, and there was a call to action. Claire Kenny, an eighth grade student was especially moved by the film. She states, “It inspired me because somebody had such drive and motivation to help other people who are in need. It…gave me a perspective on how these people were suffering. I was amazed by the extremes others would go through to put themselves in the shoes of others. Now I feel a strong sense of responsibility to help them as well.” Watching the documentary helped students understand how hard life is for the poor. The HMS students are more than grateful to have been given the opportunity to help these students, and will be writing to them in Spanish in an attempt to reach a similar connection that the boys in the film achieved. 2 THE BULLDAWG BULLETIN JR. — JUNE 2015 Nature Club Writes Children’s book By Natalie Naticchia The Nature Club is determined to reveal the underlying history in our town that many overlook. Straying from their typical tasks of making our world a greener, brighter place, the Nature Club has taken on an alternate task of education! They have decided to write a children’s book to be incorporated into the Haddonfield elementary curriculum. The book will focus on Samuel Nicholson Rhoads, who grew up in our own hometown of Haddonfield. Samuel Rhoads immediately took an interest in nature from the start, observing the way the world works around him. He grew up in our own Boxwood Hall, which residents have been fighting to keep for the sake of education and history. Samuel took an incredible liking to birds and their species. The book focuses on the trip he took to Ecuador to collect specimens, as well as the many new species he encoun- Photo by Bulldawg Bulletin Jr. Staff Members of the HMS Nature Club took a tour of the Academy of Natural Sciences with their teacher Ms. Walters. The students are working on a collaborative project with the Academy and the Historical Society to write a children's book about Samuel Rhoads. tered and protected along the way. “I see Samuel as an inspiration and a man who made a lot from a little,” expresses Claudia Watson, Destination Imagination a member of the nature club. “What he does is so interesting to me, I love to draw and learn about what he did,” stated Oka Schroed- HMS Battles Until the End By Nadya Lopez By Sasha Feinstein and Wayden Ay Haddonfield Middle School doesn’t just offer clubs that test our physical abilities, but also clubs that challenge our minds. One club for students who seek intellectual challenges is Destination Imagination. Coached by Lori Rue and Patricia Radka, teams from this international club compete against various other schools to demonstrate their creativity. On March 21, the HMS teams participated in the state tournament in Basking Ridge, New Jersey and came in fifth and seventh out of 15 teams. Months before the event, all teams are given a challenge to solve using different materials and ideas. Teams were challenged to build a robot that can do three tasks. Practicing several times a week starting in November, the HMS teams worked very hard to complete the task at the best of their ability. On the day of the event, each team performs a skit while the judges score the team based on the difficulty of the challenge and the creativity of the story. At the end of the performance, the teams are given an “Instant Challenge” that is scored on how well the teams work together. Josie Padretti, a member of the HMS team, states, “I love being able to watch other teams and learn from their mistakes.” Overall, this club teaches members that it is not just about your ability to solve problems but also your ability to be creative, use your imagination, and incorporate the ideas in your team. Participation in the club prepares students to be the innovators and leaders that will solve our future world problems! er, another member of the club. Samuel has been an inspiration for many in the club. The students hope he will also inspire those that read the book they create. The Nature Cub has been working intently on the book for more than a year, and even working diligently throughout the summer, anxious to finish the project. The leader behind the project is Ms. Kim Custer, a member of the staff of Central School and an enthusiastic naturalist. “I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to work on this collaborative project involving our students, our teachers, scientists from the Academy of Natural Science, and researches from the Historical Society. It’s been great to see them come together to celebrate and learn about our great natural history in Haddonfield,” Ms. Custer states. Ms. Walters, the head of the Nature Club, has also dedicated much of her time to ensure the book’s success. While the club is still revising the book, they look forward to a book signing sponsored by the Academy once they are finished. Many students can recall facts from one book they read, but imagine the challenge of recalling facts from many books at the same time. This is exactly what Battle of the Books teams do during a competition. After practicing in a school wide competition, the HMS Battle of the Books club won against Pitman Middle School and Lower Alloway School in an exciting competition on April 16. The eighth grade team, “Comic Sans,” brought home a trophy for their overall victory. They will compete in the Camden County Championship on June 2 and 3 with 30 other teams. The team includes Julia Chin, Kathleen Lee, Kristiana Ramos and their captain Devi Bass. Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading incentive program for students in grades three through 12. The purpose is simply to encourage students to read good books and have fun while competing with peers. Students read books from a list chosen by the organization and prepare for a battle in which they are quizzed about the books that they have read. Students must quickly state the book and the author as the answer to the question; but if the authors’ name or book title is mispronounced the answer is considered wrong. Students at Haddonfield Middle School started to prepare early on in the school year for their upcoming battles. One of the HMS sixth grade teams called “The Face-bookers” consisted of captain, Danny Cavanna and teammates Evie Ellis, Leo Brickner, Ella Baylor, Alex Roseman, and Zoey Weiner. The other sixth grade team, “Library Lovers” consisted of captain, Alexa King and her teammates Annie Veasey, Dorothy Ware, and Claire Sipp. The seventh grade team, “The Page-turners” consisted of captain Evelyn Skyrm and her teammates Mia Strobel, Gemma Miller, Antony Post, Emmaline Kenny, and Grace Schaffer. The reading lists for grades sixth through eighth consisted of 15 books per team. The sixth grade reading list contained books like Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'engle, and From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg. The seventh-eighth book list included Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson and Holes by Louis Sachar. The wide selection of books should appeal to anyone who enjoys reading. Consider joining Battle of the Books next year and be sure to wish the “Comic Sans” luck at their County competition. JUNE 2015 – THE BULLDAWG BULLETIN JR. 3 French class visits the Chocolatorium By Luke Baxter If smelling and sampling sweet chocolate sounds appealing to you, but you can’t spare the time to drive to Hershey, there is a delicious, local museum you may enjoy. Michel Cluizel’s Chocolatorium is only about thirty minutes away and offers visitors the opportunity to sample chocolate and French delicacies. On May 1, five dozen students in Madame Verdeur’s and Madame Augugliaro’s French classes took the short ride on a bus to the chocolate factory in Berlin, New Jersey. They were immediately welcomed with a cup of steaming homemade hot chocolate. Then they were escorted into another room to learn the chocolate making process and its history. They discovered that Michel Cluizel’s workers don’t take any shortcuts when it comes to making their high end chocolate. Unlike other companies, Michel Cluizel takes the time to make the highest quality of their product. Soon after the presentation, the students were escorted to the factory store where they could purchase and taste a wide variety of chocolate. Although, the chocolates were much more expensive than your average Hershey’s bar the taste is incomparable. RJ Mroz, a student on the trip, said, “The taste was out of this world.” After numerous tastings, the French students were taken into a dining room to enjoy an authentic French lunch of flaky croissants, buttery hummus and a light quiche, as well as more chocolate and French desserts. The class also got to speak with a French intern to talk about France and her experiences at Michel Cluizel. As the day came to a close, the students returned to the middle school with a new knowledge and appreciation for France and its beloved chocolate. Sweet T’s Brings Smiles to Haddonfield A review by Lauren Crumley “Delicious, creative, inventive and artistic,” is how co-owner Toni Walton describes her bakeshop, Sweet T’s. This describes Sweet T’s perfectly. With the purple décor and amazing scent of freshly baked cakes, there couldn’t be a better place to satisfy your sweet tooth. You can purchase a wide variety of treats at the bakeshop: scones, specialty cakes, salted caramel bars, and, of course, cupcakes! Toni and Chrissy Walton own a bakery that is a true success; but, you might be wondering, how did it all start? “I have been baking since I was a little girl. I baked with my mom, my family; I always made things for people when I was little. I would make cookies. I would alter recipes,” explains Toni. Through the years, she learned some cake decorating tricks, went to art school, and ended up back in the baking world. Since she has returned to the baking world, Toni has had some amazing accomplishments in addition to opening Sweet T’s. She worked for the “Cake Boss” Buddy Valastro and was on two seasons of the show. “I worked for him (Buddy) so being on the show was an everyday thing for us. Every day we just went to work on a regular basis and were being filmed, so we would work on cakes for the show and we would work on our everyday cakes, too.” Toni was also a contestant on Rewrapped, a two part show where contestants have to recreate a classic and make something out of the same item. The most challenging thing she ever made was her butterscotch Krimpet recreation. She states, “I made butterscotch on the show and that is one of the hardest things to make especially with a time restraint. You have to make sure it doesn’t burn. The entire dish could’ve been ruined within a couple seconds.” When asked how owning a bakery compares with being on television Toni says, “Owning a bakery comes with a lot more challenges. Rather than just being told what to do I have to make the rules and make the decisions. It’s definitely a lot more challenging.” One of Sweet T’s signature items, the delicious and moist cupcake, comes in variety of flavors including red velvet, chocolate peanut butter obsession and French toast. I tried six unique flavors: cookies and cream, lemon lavender, cookie dough, cinnamon dolce, chocolate, and vanilla. The cookies and cream and the cookie dough both had a surprise filling inside of it. If you’re looking for an excellent frosting and cake balance, try the cinnamon dolce or lemon lavender. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a classic chocolate or vanilla topped with buttercream frosting. However, the bakery sells much more than artistic cupcakes. Toni says she enjoys making French macaroons the most. “It’s a challenge. They’re not the easiest thing to make and they’re constantly challenging me,” explains Toni. However, her favorite thing to eat that the shop sells is a “cake bomb.” So, if you want to buy a cupcake, order a cake for your next big event or enjoy a steaming espresso, come to Sweet T’s. Toni says the most enjoyable part about running a bakery is seeing people happy when the bakery makes something really awesome. Hopefully, you’ll be the next person to walk out of Sweet T’s with a cupcake holder and purple napkin in hand, and a smile on your face. Photo by Bulldawg Bulletin Jr. Staff Students in Mdme. Verdeur’s and Mdme. Augugliaro’s French classes visited Michel Cluizel’s Chocolatorium in Berlin to learn about French food, the history of chocolate making and French culture. Snack time around town A review by Sander Wilson Now that the warm weather is here, it’s a great time to wander the town and eat a few snacks. Many students leave school hungry, especially if they had an early lunch day. This is the perfect time to have a yummy snack to tie you over until dinner. What makes a yummy snack? It has to be sold at someplace walkable in town; it should be relatively affordable, so that you can try it more than once; and finally, the golden rule, it has to taste delicious! One favorite place to get snacks is Indulgence. It has a huge assortment of mini cupcakes to choose from, and flavors that change with the holiday or season. My personal favorite is the vanilla chip. For $1.75-$2, these cupcakes are a great snack any time. Another worthy stop close to school is YoFresh. This frozen yogurt shop is well worth a stop, even on a cold day, like the last time I visited. This little shop has a nice selection of flavors, but one thing that makes it great is the huge selection of toppings. From brownies to Oreo crumbs to fruit, it’s hard to go wrong. Be careful not to overdo it though, because you pay by the ounce, and the price can accumulate quickly if you put too much in! When I went into the British Chip Shop recently, I had no idea that the restaurant had a bakery inside, but I was very happy when I found it! A nice collection of British pastries are on display. In particular, this little bakery sells more than a dozen different kinds of shortbread cookies, and they’re a great deal (two for a buck). Don’t overlook the pastries on display, either. Each flavor is great, especially the apple pastry. Just a few shops down, is the very popular Animo. Though a slightly pricier treat, it’s well worth the cost for one of their fresh smoothies or burritos. I’m a big fan of The Original smoothie, which blends strawberries and oranges. Last, but not least is Sweet T’s Bakeshop. This shop in King’s Court has very nice employees and some great cupcakes, cakes, and especially cake bombs. Cake bombs are some of the best snacks anywhere. They are golf ball-sized pieces of cake dunked in chocolate or other toppings. This shop is definitely one to visit as soon as possible. Haddonfield has a great selection of snack shops to visit, so stop somewhere new sometime soon! What are you waiting for? Go eat some snacks! 4 THE BULLDAWG BULLETIN JR. — JUNE 2015 Spanish teacher wins state award By Maura Dodson The Foreign Language Educators of New Jersey Association has awarded our very own Mrs. Pilla with the FLENJ Teacher of the Year Award! Mrs. Pilla received the award on Feb. 28 and will be competing against foreign language teachers in 13 other states for the regional level award. On winning the award, she feels honored and proud of the accomplishment. A teacher for 16 years, Mrs. Pilla teaches Spanish to sixth, seventh and eighth graders at Haddonfield Middle School and lectures at Rutgers University Camden. Mrs. Pilla (or Señora Pilla as students call her) grew up in an English speaking household. Aside from Spanish, she learned Portuguese in college. Recently, Mrs. Pilla has been re-teaching herself Portuguese through a free app called Duolingo, which students use in class. This helps Mrs. Pilla relate to students' occasional struggle with learning Spanish. "It's not easy to learn a new language," Mrs. Pilla acknowledged. When asked what contributed to her winning the award, Mrs. Pilla stated, “I believe that it was the students' willingness to learn and do any of the activities asked." Being with the students is her favorite part about teaching. “I love my students,” she exclaimed. She is especially sympathetic with sixth graders, because she understands being new to the school can be scary at times. Other language educators have also had a strong influence on Mrs. Pilla's teaching. "Going to conferences and seeing what colleagues across the country are doing has shown me what's possible in the classroom," she explained. Mrs. Pilla is a kind and devoted teacher. We wish her luck in the regional awards! BULLDAWG BULLETIN JR.

HMS Principal: Mr. Dennis Morolda HMS Assistant Principal: Mrs. Sandra Horwitz Stop RCA An Editorial by Megan Maynes This editorial reflects the opinions of the writer and does not necessarily reflect the views of the newspaper or the Haddonfield School District. Haddonfield; a small suburb where kids walk and ride bikes to school, and parents enjoy seeing the freedom that is provided with the safety of the town. This is the idea that comes to mind when residents imagine the Haddonfield community. However, this reality may soon be disrupted by a dangerous addition. Developer Brian O'Neill plans to build an RCA (Rehabilitation Centers of America) rehabilitation center for drug and alcohol addicts in the heart of our community, and right next to the high school. Not only will this lower the home values and education ratings, but pose a threat to the young members of the town. At a recent meeting on April 22, citizens expressed their concerns on the matter to Mr. O'Neill, most of which were emotional comments about their children, and the fears they have of this affecting them. Along with the parents, many teens from the town had comments too. Eighth grader at HMS, Jenny Scott said, "It is not controversial that people with addictions should get better. They should; but not in a walking town right near a school. It should be in serenity and seclusion to prevent danger and be beneficial to both patients and those around them." It is understood that there is a need for rehabilitation centers. The point being missed, however, is the location. Haddonfield is so small that it does not even have a busing system for the schools. Children walk or bike to class, and people often get to their destinations by foot. It is simply not logical to place RCA in this community. At the meeting, Haddonfield resident Chris Maynes stated, "Illicit drugs are used in jails and prisons despite their highly controlled environments. If a dealer can penetrate a system...imagine what they could do at the Bancroft facility; patients on the inside and dealers with a profit motive to help them." He also went on to say that from military experience, "The high school is what we would call a target rich environment." Mr. Maynes meant that dealers will try to solicit products to teens due to the fact that the school is so close to the facility. It is both reasonable and realistic to want to prevent this from happening in Haddonfield, as well as other towns with houses and schools so close together. As a community, we must come together, young or old, to fight this issue as one and protect the safety of our borough for future generations to come. Guys and Dolls Production Impresses Audience A Review by Gillian Keith Haddonfield Middle School’s recent production of the musical “Guys and Dolls” was a hit. With a great plot, talented actors and realistic sets, the show impressed audiences. The musical comedy/romance is about a gambler named Nathan Detroit who needs to come up with $1,000 to rent a garage for his dice game. He makes bets and encounters conflict throughout the story. The original version of this musical starred Frank Sinatra, and was released in 1955. The lead roles in the HMS production were played by Antony Post, Nadya Lopez, Jennie Stanilla, Jake Cedar, Sean Farrell, Ethan Spellmeyer and Mark Vaughn. Everyone effectively portrayed their roles and had great vocals. They graced the stage the entire time and wowed the crowd with their talents. There were many other students who were also part of the production and contributed to the play’s success. The musical numbers performed throughout the story filled the auditorium with strong, talented voices. Not everybody has the courage to do that, which makes the huge turnout of students willing to participate in the play so significant. Furthermore, the props were well designed and brought the stage to life. They were made with a vision of a street of 20th century New York in mind. Complete with a newsstand in the left corner of the stage, the environment that was constructed greatly helped contribute to the understanding of the storyline and overall vibe of the show. “I think this is the best production that HMS has done yet,” states seventh grade teacher Mrs. O’ Neill. Haddonfield Middle School drama club puts on two shows per year. Anyone can join, whether it is to be part of set design, technical crew, or acting on stage. It opens great opportunities for students who want to express their talent. The door to creativity is always open! 20 THE HADDONFIELD SUN — JUNE 3–9, 2015 Next BOE meeting is June 25 NEXT Continued from page 4 elementary schools.

Adams is a leader at integrating technology as she engages her students with creative projects that promote 21st-century learning. “I feel like technology encourages students to be creative, explore innovative ideas and sparks students’ curiosity and imagination,” Adams said. Bissinger found out about the PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovator award through assistant superintendent Mike Wilson, who recommended it as a way to recognize a teacher who uses technology in the classroom. Although the school has a lot of teachers who use and promote students to use technology, Adams stood out in his mind because of her creativity and experience with technology and encouraged her to apply. “First, I was honored that he thought of me and that I stood out to him. When I found out, I was obviously very excited to be named one of the top 100 in the nation,” Adams said. “I think it is great. It really highlights her talent and speaks to the enriching and engaging experience she is providing students. The students have a place to share ideas and express themselves with her, and that is an important part of learning,” Bissinger said. For being named a 2015 PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovator, Adams will receive year-long professional development opportunities that include virtual trainings, access to premium and exclusive resources from PBS LearningMedia Custom service, invitations to special events and access to a free PBS TeacherLine professional development course. She will also receive ongoing support in the community from the local PBS member stations. The award speaks not only of Adams, but of the schools as well.

PEASANT PRICES. by the school district and the encouragement of different digital uses in the classroom, the possibility of the Digital Innovator award wouldn’t be possible. “I think it means recognition not only for Debbie, but for all faculty, staff, students and parents. It speaks to the creative learning happening here and the integration of technology and 21st-century skills,” Bissinger said. “I think it shows that we have a lot of high-quality learning and instruction going on at the school. It is a lot bigger than me. We all use technology, and I’ve learned a lot from other people. This shows we have some great teachers in our district,” Adams said. Because technology is always changing, it can be hard to keep up. However, Elizabeth Haddon is excited for this change and to grow along with it. According to Bissinger and Adams, there are some cool things coming out of the Elizabeth Haddon in regard to technology. It is offering a Minecraft Club after school for students who are interested in Minecraft and learning the ways they can use this platform educationally. It is also looking into exploring 3D printing. As the middle school has started doing it, it too wants to see if it can be incorporated at the elementary level. Something else it is looking into is developing a mini unit integrated into classrooms around coding, which has become an important skill. “I just am excited. Technology is always changing and growing, and that gives us the opportunity as a school for us to continue to grow. We’re always asking what we can do better and exploring some innovative, new thing,” Bissinger said. “Integrating technology on a daily basis with student learning is the way of the future,” Adams said.

THE REAL ESTATE BOUTIQUE WWW.AGENT06.COM | 35 KINGS HWY EAST #100 | HADDONFIELD, NJ 08033 24 THE HADDONFIELD SUN — JUNE 3–9, 2015 Artist wants sculptures familiar, but not identifiable ARTIST Continued from page 1 and Commissioner John Moscatelli. “The Witnesses” will be on display at 131 Kings Highway East for about a year, as the HOST does rotating exhibitions. “This is an important piece of the puzzle to elevate Haddonfield as a major art center in South Jersey. We’ve begun with the HOST and we’ve added a great partnership with the PMOA who has recently installed 11 paintings here. Now we have Michelle Post here with her pieces called ‘The Witnesses,’” Harting said. “First of all, I want to thank Stuart and the folks of the HOST, who bring art around town, and extend thanks to PMOA for the temporary pieces of art around town. I am learning about art, and thanks to these exhibitions, all of us can learn more about art and appreciate it. It is here; it’s all around Haddonfield; and I think it is a great addition to our town, and for folks who are able to walk in a walkable downtown, who appreciate these things. So I am very grateful. I also want to thank the artist for her most recent editions,” Kasko said. HOST, in cooperation with the borough, has created a public/private outdoor art initiative that is populating downtown locations with rotational, contemporary outdoor sculpture. Its goal is to transform the borough into a center for juried outdoor sculpture in the tradition of public art. For this most recent edition, Harting approached Post when he came to the Artist in Action event at Grounds for Sculptures in Hamilton where Post has her studio. He came in and loved her work, asking her to sculpt a piece or two for HOST. “I was glad to know that Haddonfield is doing a program like this because it is so important for the art. In a vibrant town such as Haddonfield, to have an outdoor art program, I think it is just wonderful,” Post said. “Stuart is doing a fantastic job bringing artists into town. The HOST is really turning into a beautiful thing,” John Giannotti, the sculptor of Haddy, said. “The Witnesses” are what Post calls her Tronies, a 16th century Dutch term meaning anonymous. Post creates these Tronies to look familiar, but not be completely identifiable. “They’re everyday people off the street. We all know them because we see them every day, and that is why they end up looking PSA Gambling Addiction Hotline (800) 426-2537 familiar. We all know someone that looks like these statues,” Post said. More of Post’s Tronies can be found at the Grounds for Sculpture, as her permanent installation there features 10 similar Tronies in a piece called “The Oligarchs.” The 10 Tronies are cast in aluminum, painted and installed around the Greek Amphitheater there. For her pieces in Haddonfield, Post came up with the name “The Witnesses” because they are on the side of a busy road watching everything going on around them. The question posed to residents and visitors is, “What did they witness?” “Watching everything going by, they are bound to witness something. The question is, ‘What did they witness?’” Post said. From the pieces, Post hopes residents and visitors take away a sense of themselves and the collective human experience. “When I say themselves, I mean the collective human experience too because this is us,” Post said. Post carved the sculptures out of Styrofoam and, once carved, “casted and layered them with a very hard ‘stucco-like’ coating in an expressive manner.” She can also create sculptures in various mediums such as aluminum, bronze or resin in various prices that can go indoor or outdoor. To buy the sculptures or other sculptures like this, or to learn more about Post, go to her website at michellepost.net. To learn more about HOST, visit haddonfieldsculpture.org. “I am thrilled to be a part of this really great program you have here in this wonderful town. And I am glad that it is giving artists the chance to have this kind of exposure, especially sculpture, which is very difficult to get out there. There is a lot in preparation and installation. So in that respect, thank you so much for pioneering this program and getting it out there for all to enjoy,” Post said.
