BRIGIT BAUMA/The Sun
In HMHS’ performance of ‘Anything Goes,’ ship passenger, played by Connor Poisel, (front left), Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, played by Cuinlan Pedretti, Hope Harcourt, played by Claire Gautier, Mrs. Evangeline Harcourt, played by Dana Schwartz, and Elisha Whitney, played by Joseph
Tully, wave goodbye during the song ‘Bon Voyage’ as the S.S. American sets sail to London.
Do you feel the need to take a
little vacation from this winter
weather? Though you might not
be able to afford a full cruise, you
can escape from reality for a few
hours on a cruise with the cast of
“Anything Goes” to dance, sing
and laugh to its well known songs
such as “You're the Top,” “Let's
Misbehave,”
“Blow,
Gabriel
Blow,” “Take Me Back to Manhattan” and, of course, its title song
“Anything Goes.”
Set sail on the S.S. American
along with a group of crazy and
fun characters in the Haddonfield
Memorial High School Drama
Club’s production of “Anything
Goes” on March 4, 6, 7, 8, 13 and
14.
“‘Anything Goes’ is a perfect
example of old-school musical
theater. It has a classic, hummable score, huge production numbers-including the tap dance to
the title song and witty comedy.
It’s a very challenging production

Commissioners talk
library work, stop signs,
commercial filming

The Sun

NJ Lic. #13vh0111555900
Haddonfield
commissioners
unanimously approved three ordinances on first reading on Tuesday, Feb. 24. The ordinances
would increase the amount needed for the library improvements,
change the yield signs to stop
signs at Redman Avenue and Barberry Lane, and amend the borough code to create a new chapter
for permits for commercial filming.
The first ordinance is a bond
ordinance for library improvements. The board had to go out to
bid twice for library improvements, however, each time the
borough’s estimation on costs
were too low. This ordinance calls
for supplemental appropriation,
or an increase, of $400,000 for the
improvements and will authorize
the issuance of $380,000 in bonds
or notes to cover part of the cost.
This increases the estimated cost
of the improvements from $1.8
million to $2.2 million.
“We have had to increase the
amount necessary for the improvements that are going to be
done at the library because we
have twice gone out to bid and
twice the bids have been over the
amount that we guessed or budgeted, so in order to increase that
capital budget, we will be furthering the issuance of $380,000 in
bonds or notes in order to finance
this,” Mayor Jeff Kasko said.
The second ordinance calls for
the replacement of yield signs at

No school district will see a decrease in state aid
Dan McDonough Jr.
chaIrman of elauwIt medIa
chool administrators throughout the state were holding their
collective breath leading up to
Gov. Christie’s 2015 budget address last
week.
“Where would state aid stand?” was
the question on everyone’s mind. If
state aid went down considerably, how
hard would it hit the school district’s
bottom line?
Come last week, though, these same
administrators were able to breathe a
sigh of relief when Christie announced that his budget proposal
would actually increase state aid to
schools and, more importantly, would-
S
It’s budget time
The school district will be releasing its
2015-2016 budget numbers, and the
impact on your tax bills, shortly. The Sun

when they are released. If you want to
share your thoughts on the topic, send
us a letter to the editor. We’d love to
hear from you.
n’t reduce aid to any school district.
Overall, Christie’s budget provides
for an $811 million increase in educational funding, although only $4.6 million of that will go to school aid. The
rest is earmarked for debt, pension and
health care.
The good news for school districts
like ours, which doesn’t receive the
bulk of state aid to public schools anyway, is that we will not lose any state
aid from last year. True, we won’t be
seeing an increase, but at least we
won’t lose money.
While we certainly could have used
more help from the Garden State, it’s
comforting to know we won’t have to
kick in more money out of our already
thin pockets.
So two thumbs up to Christie for
paying attention to one of the most important aspects of life here in New Jersey – our public schools.
letters to the editor
Censure decision protects
people’s freedom of speech
Curiouser and curiouser. I’m curious
why anyone would take issue with the commissioners' altogether fitting and proper
censure of things said by former Zoning
Board Chairman Robert Grady. While any
insult coming from a prominent decisionmaker is no small matter, this one's easy
resolution was thwarted first by Mr.
Grady's unwillingness to own up to his obvious error – actually a number of them –
leaving the commissioners no choice, but
the discomfort of censure.
Then, the simplicity of that fair solution
was challenged, first by a tiny support
group of politicians and then by Grady
himself, who subsequent to the censure insulted members of the public once again,
as reported in The Sun, this time accusing
them of "continuing to harass the members of the zoning board." Harass? A
wrongful accusation that surpasses the infamous "wacko" gaffe and insults the intelligence of any member of the public who
dares go before the Zoning Board for whatever reason.
I for one will ask for a certain recusal,
maybe two, next time I need a decision
from the Zoning Board.
Curious why anyone, especially Mr.
Grady, would crank it up rather than put
this sad matter behind us. And why would
his seeming supporters not want to just let
things be? Instead, they rallied with an incomprehensible show of support at the
Feb. 10 meeting, apparently sincere, but
tainted by the uncomfortable fact that two
of the three who spoke in opposition to the
censure – politicians Ed Borden and Tish
Colombi – were recipients of major ($1,000)

The Sun wants to know: How did you get engaged?
Share your stories with our readers for National Proposal Day on March 20
Maybe he popped the question on a picturesque summer day at the beach, a banner plane proclaiming his love flying overhead. Perhaps she organized your family
and friends into a flash mob, asking for
your hand in marriage at the end of an
elaborate song and dance. Or maybe it was
simple, both curled up on the couch at
home, sharing a pizza and laughing over
the latest episode of a favorite sitcom.
March 20 is National Proposal Day, and
no matter how you went from single to betrothed, The Sun wants to celebrate with
your stories.
Was it the most romantic proposal in
history? A proposal that went hysterically
wrong, but still with an enthusiastic “yes”
at the end? Maybe the third time was the
charm? Whatever your story, we’re calling
on you to send it in so we can share it with
everyone.
Send in your perfect (or not-so-perfect)
proposal story, and a photo of you and your

HMHS boys swim to the top
Team wins first
state title since 2010

On the night of Monday, Feb.
23, you might have heard fire
trucks and sirens going down the
streets of Haddonfield. This wasn’t for any kind of emergency, but
for a celebration of the Haddonfield Memorial High School’s
boys swimming team on its state
championship win.
The boys HMHS swim team
earned the title of 2015 New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic
Association Group C Champions.
“It was a very good end to the
season. All year long, we compete
and train for February. Our goal
is to do anything we can to prepare for it. I think it showed the
boys can really compete at the
end of the year,” coach Robert
Querubin said.
Querubin has been the coach of
the boys swim team for more than
20 years at HMHS. The team hasn’t won a state championship
since 2010, so winning this year’s
title was a great accomplishment.
“Haddonfield has been fortunate with swimmers who want to
take it to the next level and train
year round. We have quality

County launches Housing First
initiative to end homelessness
By Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez
I’m proud to be part
of a new initiative
will have an instant impact on the overall
homeless populationthroughout the county
and allow us, as a region, to start making a
real change on this
issue. The program,
Housing First, puts us
on the path to ending homelessness
in Camden County.
The New Jersey Department of
Community Affairs, New Jersey Department of Human Services, Camden County Board of Freeholders,
local hospitals, Camden Coalition of
Healthcare Providers, Southern NJ
Continuum of Care and local housing providers launched this collaborative effort to reduce homelessness
across Camden County.
It is an innovative, evidence-based
approach to ending homelessness
that has been effective in communities across the country. These programs have been successful in
keeping the costliest, most vulnerable, long-term and chronically homeless patients stably housed,
dramatically reducing unnecessary
hospitalizations, emergency room
visits and incarcerations. A decade
of evidence has shown that it is more
expensive to keep a homeless person
on the streets than it is to get someone into permanent housing,
through a Housing First approach.
The New Jersey Department of
Community Affairs and the New Jersey Department of Human Services
are committing 50 vouchers for a
Housing First project for high-utilizers of the health care system in Camden County. A competitive RFP
process is expected to open next
month with an expected launch date
this summer The Camden County
Freeholder Board will invest
$100,000
of
funding
from
the Homeless Trust
Fund into the new
strategy.
It is estimated that on
any given night, more
than 650 individuals
are homeless in Camden County. This program is the first step
toward reducing this
number and achieving
our goal of ending homelessness.
Housing First has resulted in plummeting homeless numbers in the
greater Trenton area and has given
over 800 children a safe place to live.
It is much easier to get your life back
on track when you don’t have to
worry about where your family is
going to sleep at night.
In addition to this pilot project, the
Camden County Housing First
Transformation Project will bring together stakeholders from across the
city, county and state to participate
in a quarterly leadership council to
coordinate efforts to continue to invest in Housing First and to shift the
local ecosystem towards a focus on
permanent housing for the most vulnerable and expensive individuals. It
will also convene a learning collaborative for staff and leaders from
local housing and service providers
to develop the skills and capacity to
serve the most vulnerable homeless
individuals through high-fidelity
Housing First programs. The Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH)
will be providing this training and
technical assistance.

campaign contributions from Mr.
Grady; as was Neal Rochford, the
lone commissioner who voted
against the censure. Was money
talking that night? It's all so curious. Why was this small dose of
needed medicine resisted at all?
And, does the old guard really believe the censure was unwarranted?
Times are changing. And we all
owe Mayor Kasko and Commissioner Moscatelli a debt of gratitude for protecting and advancing
the people's freedom of speech in
our ever-evolving representative
government.
Walter Weidenbacher
Writer shares reasons
for refusing PARCC exam
Our decision to refuse the
PARCC was not one made lightly.
We love our teachers and truly ap-
preciate all that our district has
done to minimize the impact of
the PARCC administration on our
students. In fact, our decision to
refuse the PARCC was due to our
belief that Haddonfield’s teachers
are highly skilled professionals
who do an outstanding job in an
increasingly difficult environment, and are ultimately the people best suited to assess our children’s academic performance.
Furthermore, after months of research on high-stakes standardized testing and current education “reform,” we acted on our
convictions rather than participating in a testing system that is
deeply flawed morally and pedagogically, and underpinned by
corporate greed and political
agendas, neither of which serve
any of our children.
We are heartsick when hearing
parents or officials state, “What’s
the big deal? We all took standardized tests growing up.” Today’s
high-stakes tests, including the
PARCC, are nothing like what we
took either in quantity, frequency
or consequence. Consider for a
moment under the current New
Jersey testing schedule, a public
school third grader will be required to take 21 separate standardized tests between now and
grade 11 and the associated financial, instructional and emotional
costs. It is far and away more testing than any parent was given as
a child, and the consequences are
greater: high school graduation,
state and federal funding, and
teacher evaluations.
We hope that your readership
will do their own research, take a
practice PARCC and critically
evaluate their choices.
Some questions we asked
(among many, many others):
• The PARCC started with 22
member states, now it is down to
11. Why have other states chosen
to refuse or postpone the PARCC?
• Why are colleges moving
away from using standardized
tests such as the SAT and ACT
when evaluating candidates yet

we are increasing our use and reliance on them?
• What will this test tell you
that your child’s teacher doesn’t
already know?
• Why are areas with high
poverty and racial minorities so
strongly correlated with standardized test scores? How does
this testing affect public schools
with high numbers of special
needs students?
• Who stands to make money
off the PARCC administration?
Who stands to make more money
when our children “fail” the test?
We respect that the school district is required by state law to administer the test, but as parents,
we are not required by law to
have our children participate. Refusing the PARCC in no way
means you are attacking the
school. You are, in fact, supporting our teachers and our schools
by protesting state and federal
control over what should rightfully be at the discretion of local districts. You are also taking a stand
for those who are most likely to
suffer under the current system
of high-stakes standardized tests:
the poor, racial minorities and
special needs students.
We fully agree that the real battle for public schools is at the legislative levels. State and federal
laws are interfering with local
districts’ abilities to select assessment tools, develop curriculum
and evaluate teachers. Permanent change will only come when
concerned citizens contact elected representatives and make

their voices louder than those
with deep pockets and for-profit
motives. Refusing the test is one
of the few things a parent can do
to compete for legislative attention with the likes of Pearson, the
for-profit company who wrote
and will score the PARCC.
Last year, an estimated 60,000plus New York students refused
the state’s Common Core aligned
standardized test.
New York
State has now put plans to use the
PARCC on hold.
This year more than 530 Chicago public schools have refused the
PARCC.
This is our chance to restore
control of public education back
to the local school districts. Evidence-based research demonstrates that high-stakes standardized testing is not in the best interests of all our children. Consider refusing the PARCC. Call
your state and congressional representatives to ask their positions
on high-stakes standardized test.

Vote to censure
a misguided decision
The commissioners’ decision
to censure Bob Grady for comments made at the Sept. 16, 2014,
Zoning Board meeting, taken by a
2-1 vote with Mayor Kasko and
Commissioner Moscatelli in
favor, was a misguided and unprecedented one. It appears that
the Haddonfield Commission has
not passed such a resolution in
the entire history of our town.
Borough Solicitor Iavicoli was
not aware of any such resolution
being passed by any governing
body in the county. Former Mayors Colombi and Tarditi, former
Commissioner Reisner and I all
publicly opposed the resolution.
Let us look first at the resolution the two commissioners voted
for and the conduct that they believed justified this extraordinary
step. The resolution, drafted by

Mayor Kasko, suggests that Mr.
Grady used language that was
“hostile, rude, inflammatory, insulting, prejudiced, intemperate
or insensitive” during the September meeting. Pretty serious
stuff. But what were these “inappropriate and insensitive remarks?” One need only listen to
the recording of the meeting to
find out. In the context of a discussion about his concerns that
certain commissioners were taking improper actions in an attempt to criticize and pressure
the Zoning Board for a decision it
had made that was opposed by a
small, but vocal neighborhood
group, Mr. Grady suggested that
the two commissioners were capitulating to the demands of “the
wackos from Maple Avenue.”
That’s it. So Mr. Grady’s comments were not so much critical

of the citizens, but rather of the
commissioners’ failure to respect
and support the entirely lawful
decision of a citizen board. It is
readily apparent that it was actually for this that Mr. Grady was
censured.
Mr. Grady’s other censurable
offense, according to the resolution, was that he made “inappropriate and insensitive remarks”
about “a sitting member of the
Board of Commissioners.” And
what were these terrible things
he said? He mispronounced Commissioner Moscatelli’s name.
Nothing more. He mispronounced his name. How arrogant
and self-important must a “sitting
member of the Board of Commissioners” have become to use his
power in that office to publicly
censure and humiliate a citizen
volunteer for mispronouncing his
name?
Tellingly, in his comments explaining why he was voting for
the resolution of censure, Commissioner Moscatelli said that he
was convinced Mr. Grady did not
intend any sort of ethnic slur.
Rather, he said that his concern
was that Mr. Grady was “electioneering” in his comments, specifically referring to Mr. Grady’s
comments regarding the commissioners’ attempts to discipline
certain Zoning Board members.
In fact, certain commissioners
had advocated “demoting” a Zoning Board member because of his
actions on the board. Mr. Grady
was justifiably outraged about
such actions by commissioners
and said so. And Commissioner
Moscatelli’s reference to “electioneering” makes clear that his
real objection was to Mr. Grady’s
criticism of these actions by the
commissioners.
The resolution sends a destructive message to the citizen volunteers who serve on our various
boards and committees. There is
no glory in these positions and
often a great deal of angst. The
members are often called upon to

Musical performances set for March 4, 6-8, 13-14

because the material is so demanding physically, vocally and
theatrically. We have an exceptional cast with many standout
performers, and this production
gives our program the opportunity to highlight a wide range of talents. ‘Anything Goes’ is one of my
favorite musicals of all time,” Director Matthew DiDonato said.
“Anything Goes” by Cole
Porter is set in 1932 aboard the
S.S. American, sailing across the
Atlantic Ocean from America to
England.
Evangelist
turned
nightclub singer Reno Sweeney,
played by senior Grace Grimes, is
aboard the ship with her friend
Billy Crocker, played by senior
Patrick Ransole O’Malley, who
has stowed away to chase after his
love, Hope Harcourt, played by
senior Claire Gautier; but Hope is
engaged to the wealthy Englishman Lord Evelyn Oakleigh,
played by Cuinlan Pedretti. Also
on board the ocean liner are Public Enemy No. 13 Moonface Martin, played by junior Sean Wilkinson, and his sidekick Erma,
played by senior Allison Sparrow.
With the help of outrageous disguises and a tap-dancing chorus,
Reno and Moonface join forces to
help Billy win Hope’s heart.
“It’s an upbeat, feel-good show
with some fun characters,” O’Malley said. “It’s filled with huge
group numbers, and almost every
scene has a song and dance.”
The HMHS production of
“Anything Goes” promises to be
one of its biggest productions to
date. They have a cast of 49 students, an elaborate set and extravagant song and dance numbers,
tap being at the forefront.
“I would say that the most difficult thing about this show is that
every aspect of the production is
huge. What I mean by this is that
the show requires an elaborate
set and lighting design, showstopping dance numbers, high-energy songs and romantic ballads,
and top-notch comedic acting.
Putting this all together in just 10
weeks with a cast and crew of 75

songs and dances.
seems like a daunting task, but
everything is falling into place,”
DiDonato said.
“I think it is way bigger than
anything I have seen in Haddonfield. I think it is a lot of fun,”
Sparrow said.
DiDonato doesn’t have a favorite part, but if he had to
choose, he said he loves the tapdancing. Members of the cast
found the dancing to be one of the
more difficult parts, but once they
got it, it became fun and some of
their favorite parts, other than
spending time with their theater
family, of course.
“I like the dancing. It’s really
challenging, and the whole cast
has had to work really hard to
make it work together and look
like it’s supposed to. And I think
everyone has done a good job. It’s
been fun to see the progress,”
Sparrow said.
“Mr. DiDonato and Ms. Davis
have really taught us how to tap
and make it fun. It’s been really,
really awesome,” said Dana
Schwartz, who plays Mrs. Evangeline Harcourt, Hope’s mother.
“Going into this production,
we only had five students who
took tap classes regularly, so you
will see how far the cast has
come,” DiDonato said.
“The directors and the coaches
we have here are phenomenal.
This show would not be what it is
without them leading us,”
Grimes said.
The director as well as members of the cast would like the audience to be happy and entertained during the performance
and leave the theater dancing and
wanting to come back for more.
“The bottom line is that the audience should expect to be entertained. The first act ends with the
title song in which all 49 members
of the cast are on stage tapping
their hearts out. The energy is so
high, and I think the audience
will be amazed. It will be unlike
anything that has ever been on
stage at HMHS,” DiDonato said.
“Our greatest hope is that audience members will leave the theater happier than when they entered.”
“I want the audience to be impressed. I hope they can see that
we are a high school cast, but that
we perform at a collegiate level. I
want them to want to come see it
twice; I’d like to see the audience
grow each night,” Grimes said.
Members of the cast would
love everyone in Haddonfield to
see the show. Not only does this
promise to be a fun show for all
ages, but it also will be one of
HMHS’ biggest productions yet.
“It’s definitely going to be one
of HMHS’ standout shows in the
past couple of years,” Schwartz
said.
“It’s going to be spectacular
and nothing like Haddonfield has
ever seen before,” Sparrow said.
“We are always so grateful for
the support of the community,
and we are proud to once again
give the members of our community a performance they will not
want to miss,” DiDonato said.
HMHS’ “Anything Goes” will
be presented on March 6, 7, 13 and
14 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school
auditorium with a 2 p.m. matinee
on Sunday, March 8. Tickets for
evening performances are $10.
The matinee price is $7 or $25 for
a group of four. Tickets can be
purchased at the door or at the
high school any time. The senior
citizen preview is March 4 at 4
p.m. and is free admittance.

opposed in the most emotional
terms by friends and neighbors.
They render a great service to us
all. The boards are often required
by law or the facts to make decisions that people don’t like, and
the opponents of those decisions
are sometimes insulting and abusive. The last thing that the commissioners should do is to send
the message, as their action here
does, that if you make a tough decision and there is vocal opposition, we will fold like cheap suits.
Instead, the message should be
“we’ve got your back.” We expect
our commissioners to be leaders,
to make tough, honest calls for
the good of the town. And to support the people they appoint to
boards rather than currying
favor with vocal pressure groups.
If in the heat of the moment, a
poor choice of words is made by a
board member, as it was here, a
frank and personal discussion is
appropriate. A public shaming to
get the commissioners off the
hook is not.
Ed Borden
Writer commends
censure decision
I’m writing to commend Commissioners Kasko and Moscatelli
in their vote to censure Mr.
Robert Grady. They did a job that
no one wants to do, but as the governing body of our town, were
forced to do it, because of Mr.
Grady’s insulting actions. I don’t
think there should be any room
for inappropriate comments
made by anyone serving on borough boards/commissions. Name
calling, the deliberate mispronunciation of someone’s name,
threats to do everything in their
own power to make sure they are
not re-elected, are not just slip of
the tongue comments. Just as in
our school system, there is zero
tolerance for bullying. The guidelines of conduct that board members read and sign before they are
appointed to the board/commission should be followed. There
has to be consequences for their
actions. Yes, board members
should be held to a higher standard than residents. If we as
adults can’t treat each other with
civility, what examples are we
showing/teaching our children?
In my opinion, the travesty
would have been for our leaders
to sit back and allow Mr. Grady’s
comments to go unnoticed, and
taken no action.
This sends a clear message to
everyone that these actions are
unacceptable and will not be tolerated. How sad that Mr. Grady
feels that he should be the one
who receives an apology, instead
of giving one. We may all not like
each other, but there has to be
some measure of respect as
human beings.

MARCH 4–10, 2015 – THE HADDONFIELD SUN 17
HMHS beats Tenafly for championship
HMHS
Continued from page 7
swimmers, who have repeatedly
gone throughout the school to get
others to join as well as to encourage the other guys to elevate their
training. You can have several
fast swimmers, but if they don’t
have the depth year after year, it
won’t lead to scoring,” Querubin
said.
Although the team didn’t have
a specific strategy to win, Querubin said there really isn’t any
trick to winning. There is just the
preparation during the regular
season and training when they
can that can lead to victory. Also,
accepting the challenge of the
sport and knowing that you can
only get better is key. The boys
finished the regular season 7-3,
but ultimately it was the championship that really counts.
“It’s just accepting the challenges. When you compete
against these bigger or better
teams, you need to learn from it.
You need to ask: what could I do
better? What do I need to keep
training on? Every team needs to
go through that,” Querubin said.
At the beginning of the season,
Querubin said he needs to instill
competitiveness in the swimmers
as well as know they need to be
confident, but not overly so.
“You need to think, ‘I like our
chances.’ That helps. You need to
impose that on the swimmers, no
questions or negative thoughts.
You want them to be confident,
but not over-confident. You need
to have the mentality that you can
do very good things and think
about what you could accomplish,” Querubin said.
Some of the highlights in winning the state final against
Tenafly High School 92-78 include: Senior Michael Kurtz winning two individual events with
the 50 freestyle with a time of
21.90 and the 100 freestyle at 48.20,
and adding a state qualifying
time in the 100 free. The other
winning events were the 200 medley relay at 1:41.08 with a team of
Kurtz, junior Tim Proctor, senior
Peter Kurtz and junior Brian McGrath, and the 200 free relay at
1:30.30 with the team of Peter,
Michael, freshman Conor Skelly
and junior Jared MacNeill.
Junior Brendan Finnegan also
had a significant impact with season-best times in the 100 butterfly
at 54.84 and 100 breaststroke at
1:03.19, finishing second in both
events. He also finished the season with the fastest times in those
events on the team. Finnegan was
scheduled to compete in the 200
free and 100 fly events at the individual championships last weekend at GCIT. Junior Jared MacNeill has been a key contributor
all season, swimming the
freestyle events. He has the
fastest 200 and 500 free times on
the team where he finished second in the 200 at the championship.
When the team won the group,
Querubin said there was a great
celebration and huge relief as
well.
After taking pictures at the
pool with their trophy, the boys
were celebrated back in Haddonfield after their win by being es-
Crows Woods Gardeners hosts
annual sign-up meeting March 5
Haddonfield's Crows Woods
Gardeners will hold its annual
sign-up meeting for returning
and new gardeners at 7:30 p.m. on
Thursday, March 5 at the Crows
Woods meeting room.
For Haddonfield residents, 20by-20-foot and 10-by-20 foot half
plots are available. Dues are $40
for a half plot for first year gardeners. $20 per plot for all other
gardeners after their first year.
President Paul Schmeck said
gardeners or prospective gardeners who have not already filed
should bring their dues and application to this meeting. Plots will
be assigned on a first-come, firstserved basis. Applications are
available at the Crows Woods Gardeners website crowswoodsgardeners.com.
corted behind the fire engines
with their bus full of champions.
“The school bus follows the fire
trucks through town, it’s pretty
neat. It’s a nice celebration as
part of the town to the winning
team.
“They get into it, and it’s a cool
way for parents, and anyone who
is out that time of night, to see
them and be recognized. We’ve
been fortunate, in this small
town,” Querubin said.
The boys swimming coach felt
having been at the competition
and having the opportunity to
compete for the state championship has been a very good influence on the underclassmen. They
will want to maintain that hardworking and winning attitude
and spirit.
“If you’ve been there, you’re
going to want to go back. It helps
to promote that you have to have
the effort, training and to work
hard because there is certainly no
guarantee of winning,” Querubin
said.
