Thirteen-year-old Cherry Hillresident Marco Porras loves the-ater. He also happens to love themovie “A Christmas Story.” Por-ras' favorite character from thefilm is Schwartz, the snarky bestfriend of the film's narrator,Ralph.

So when Porras found out “AChristmas Story: The Musical”was coming to the Walnut StreetTheatre, there was no question hewas going to audition.

“I was very excited,” he said.Porras didn't just audition and

get a part in the show. He is nowplaying his favorite character forhundreds of theatergoers eachweekend.

Porras, along with fellow Cher-ry Hill residents Jillian Hender-son, 12, and Jordan Budney, 12,are performing in “A ChristmasStory: The Musical.” The show is

playing at the Walnut Street The-atre through Jan. 10.

Porras is a theater veteran,having performed in shows at theWalnut Street Theatre and othercommunity theaters in the past.However, he said auditioning andbeing selected to play his favoritecharacter from his favoriteChristmas movie is extra special.

“I was jumping up and down,running through the streets,”

Porras said. “I was so excited.”Henderson and Budney are

part of the children's ensemble.The ensemble performs a numberof songs throughout the play.Henderson performs in the week-end shows, while Budney is in the

ensemble for weekday perform-ances.

The ensemble parts appealed toboth Henderson and Budney asthey would get to tap dance aswell as sing. Both love to dance.

“I wanted to audition because I

thought it would be a great expe-rience,” Henderson said. “It had alot of tap. I’ve been dancing forsix years.”

“They did a lot of tapping, andI’ve been tapping for a long timebefore this,” Budney said.

Budney was ecstatic when shefound out she was chosen for theensemble.

tions of state-appointed fact-find-er Thomas Hartigan.

At the Dec. 8 board of educa-tion meeting, board President

board of education and CHEA went to afact-finder after reaching an impasse inJune. The impasse came nearly a year afterCHEA’s contract expired in 2014.

In late November, Hartigan released hisrecommendations to both parties. Both theboard and CHEA agreed to accept Harti-gan’s recommendations. CHEA agreed tothe fact-finder’s recommendations in full,while the board agreed to them in princi-ple, saying they needed to hear back fromCHEA on the compound drug managementprogram.

There was a sense of relief from board

members, CHEA President Martin Sharof-sky and parents at last Tuesday’s meeting.A round of applause was heard after Mat-lack’s announcement.

Sharofsky spoke during public com-ment, thanking the board members for

their patience throughout the negotiatingprocess.

“I’m glad that we’re moving forward to-ward a settlement,” Sharofsky said.

Cherry Hill parent Robert Weaver hadbeen a frequent attendee at board meetings

through the fall and spent lots of time ask-ing the board to settle the contract dispute.He was relieved when he heard the newslast Tuesday night.

“Obviously, the negotiations have beenhard on all of us,” Weaver said during pub-lic comment. “I greatly appreciate you fi-nally coming close to a settlement. Parentsacross Cherry Hill will be very happy.”

In Hartigan’s recommendations, heidentified medical insurance, salaries andduration of contract as the three unre-solved issues between the board andCHEA. Hartigan’s recommendations in-

clude a 2.56 percent salary increase,retroactive for the 2014-15 school year, a 2.8percent increase in the current 2015-16school year and 2.95 percent increases ineach of the 2016-17 and 2017-18 schoolyears. Both sides will need to mutually

agree on the specific salary guides.Hartigan also recommended extending

the contract through the 2018-19 schoolyear, with CHEA members receiving an-other 2.95 percent salary increase. Howev-er, this provision is optional and will only

be included in the final settlement if bothsides agree to it.CHEA members will switch to a more

cost-effective state employee health benefitplan beginning on Jan. 1, 2017. Both sideshad previously agreed to switch plans, butHartigan’s recommendations ask for theswitch to not happen until 2017 since bothsides were unable to approve a final agree-ment prior to the end of the insuranceplan’s open enrollment period for 2016.

Both parties still need to finalize all of the details regarding the contract beforethe board and CHEA members can vote on

it. There is no specific timeline for when acontract may be finalized and a vote maytake place.

“We look forward to signing a contractand bringing negotiations to a close,” Mat-lack said.

Both sides need to finalize all details

As the holiday season has a lit-

tle more than a week remain-

ing, we want to take this op-

portunity to thank everyone who has

stepped up to help those in need. This

time of year usually brings out the

best in people. Judging from the num-

ber of announcements we receivedfrom our readers regarding donation

drives, it looks like this year was no ex-

ception.

In the past, specific tragedies – such

as Hurricane Sandy a few years ago –

created an immediate need in many

communities. But even though this

area was lucky enough to avoid such a

circumstance this year, there is still a

big need.

Food banks are still low on food and

supplies. The same can be said for

those groups that help with clothing,

and even toys for children.

Over the past few weeks, we have

had the pleasure of publishing stories

about efforts to lend a hand. Like al-

ways, there were the usual Toys for Tot

drives and more. We don’t keep a for-

mal count of the number of holiday

fundraising event stories we publish

from year to year, but it certainly

seemed that, in 2015, there were many.

So, we thank those individuals and

groups who organized these efforts.

And, on behalf of them, we also thank

everyone who picked up an extra can

of non-perishable food, an additionalbag of dog food, one more toy and

more. To all of those who reached a lit-

tle deeper into their wallets this year to

help out, your generosity truly made a

difference.

As you wrap up your holiday shop-

ping for this year, try to lend one final

helping hand to those in need.

We wish everyone a happy holiday

season!

in our opinion

Happy holidays! A ‘thank you’ to everyone who helped to brighten the season for those in need

Stepping up

Thank you to everyone who lent a helpinghand to those in need this holiday season.But giving shouldn’t stop just because theholidays are over. Tell us about your dona-tion drive throughout the year,and we’ll share it with the rest of thecommunity.

Preparing kids for the path to innovation

We are at a unique place in time whereSTEM initiatives are influencing the fu-ture economy. Unfortunately, these initia-tives are widening the gap between whatstudents are learning in school and theskills they will need to thrive in a new dig-ital and hyper-connected world. In a recentstudy, the Association of American Col-leges and Universities highlighted that 93

percent of the employers (non-profit andfor-profit) surveyed felt that thinking,

complex problem solving and communi-cation skills were more important than acandidate’s undergraduate major. Smartcities, life sciences, nanoscale technology,cross-border collaborations, space explo-ration, power and green propulsion, ad-vancements in chemistry and materialsscience, cybersecurity, mobility, energyand renewables, robotics cinematography,

and data driven applications are creatingunprecedented opportunities for our futureworkforce. They will be challenged to usetheir creativity (imagination and designthinking) and teamwork skills to becomethe next generation of innovators and lead-ers.

Creativity is def ined as the interactionamong imagination, cognitive presence,

ego-strength, conation, aptitude, process,domain engagement, and environment bywhich an individual or group follows thecreative process to produce an accepted

product that is both novel and useful as de-fined within a personal or social context.It is critical to our society’s advancement,which is why we need to provide students

with opportunities that foster their curios-ity and creativity. At Destination Imagina-tion, we’ve been helping students learn thecreative process from imagination to inno-

vation for more than 30 years. Our chal-lenge-based afterschool program comple-ments in school curriculum and teachesstudents the skills needed to bring a novelidea to fruition, including risk taking, self-assessment, learning from failure, projectmanagement, and collaborative problemsolving. By giving kids this opportunity,they will learn how to face future challenges

and opportunities with confidence.More than 150,000 students worldwide

participate in Destination Imagination eachyear.

Parents, teachers and administrators whoare interested in learning more about Desti-nation Imagination may contact them [email protected] or by phone at 1-888-321-1503.

Police to crack down on drunk driversThe Cherry Hill Police Depart-

ment will be cracking down ondrivers impaired by alcohol ordrugs as part of the annual end-

of-year “Drive Sober or Get PulledOver” statewide campaign.Through Jan. 1, local and statelaw enforcement officials willconduct saturation patrols andsobriety checkpoints looking formotorists who may be drivingwhile intoxicated. The national“Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over”effort endeavors to raise aware-ness about the dangers of im-paired driving through a combi-nation of high-visibility enforce-

ment and public education.“This is a critical law enforce-ment program that can save livesduring a time of the year whenimpaired driving traditionally in-creases by nearly 10 percent," saidCapt. Amy Winters. “People thatchoose to get behind the wheelafter drinking alcohol or usingdrugs pose a grave danger to allroadway users, and this initiativeis designed to bring attention to

this important issue.”Last year, 27 percent of all

motor vehicle fatalities in NewJersey were alcohol-related. Na-

tionally, more than 10,000 peopledie each year in drunk drivingcrashes. The societal cost associ-ated with these crashes is esti-mated to be $37 billion annually.

Law enforcement agencies par-ticipating in the Drive Sober orGet Pulled Over 2015 Year EndHoliday Crackdown offer the fol-lowing advice for holiday season:

• Take mass transit, a taxi-cab, or ask a sober friend to driveyou home.

• Spend the night where theactivity or party is held.• If you see an impaired driv-

er on the road, contact law en-forcement. Your actions may savesomeone’s life, and inaction couldcost a life.

• Always buckle up everyride. It’s your best defense againstan impaired driver.

• If you are intoxicated andtraveling on foot, the safest way to

get home is to take a cab or have asober friend or family memberdrive or escort you to yourdoorstep.

• Be responsible. If someoneyou know is drinking, do not letthat person get behind the wheel.

County launches Housing First

initiative to end homelessness

I’m proud to be

part of a new ini-

tiative that willhave an instant im-pact on the overall

homeless popula-tion throughout

the county andallow us, as a re-

gion, to start mak-ing a real change

on this issue. The program, Hous-ing First, puts us on the path to

ending homelessness in CamdenCounty by combining common

sense and a progressive policy tocreate a stable environment for

individuals who desperately needhelp.

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, New Jersey

Department of Human Services,Camden County Board of Free-

holders, local hospitals, CamdenCoalition of Healthcare

Providers, Southern NJ Contin-uum of Care and local housing

providers launched this collabo-

rative effort to reduce homeless-ness across Camden County.

It is an innovative, evidence-

based approach to ending home-lessness that has been effective in

communities across the country.These programs have been suc-

cessful in keeping the costliest,most vulnerable, long-term and

chronically homeless patientshoused, dramatically reducing

unnecessary hospitalizations,emergency room visits and incar-

cerations. A decade of evidencehas shown that it is more expen-

sive to keep a homeless person onthe streets than it is to get some-

one into permanent housing,through a Housing First ap-

proach.It is estimated that on any given

night, more than 650 individualsare homeless in Camden County.

This program is the first step to-

ward reducing this

number and achiev-

ing our goal of end-ing homelessness.

Housing First has

resulted in plum-meting homeless

numbers in thegreater Trenton

area and nation-wide has given over

800 children a safe place to live. Itis much easier to get your life

back on track when you don’thave to worry about where your

family is going to sleep at night.In addition to this pilot project,

the Camden County HousingFirst Transformation Project will

bring together stakeholders fromacross the city, county and state to

participate in a quarterly leader-ship council to coordinate efforts

to continue to invest in HousingFirst and to shift the local ecosys-

tem towards a focus on perma-nent housing for the most

vulnerable and expensive individ-

uals.Furthermore, the program will

convene a lear ning collaborative

for staff and leaders from localhousing and service providers to

develop the skills and capacity toserve the most vulnerable home-

less individuals through high-fi-delity Housing First programs.

The Corporation for SupportiveHousing (CSH) will be providing

this training and technical assis-tance.

shows before, but never on a stagesuch as Walnut Street Theatre.Despite the large stage, Budneysaid she hasn't been nervous dur-ing performances.

“When I get on stage, I feelcompletely fine,” she said. “I feellike I belong there.”

Porras said acting is all busi-ness once he walks onto the stage.

“I love theater and I love to

act,” he said. “That's all that's onmy mind.”For the actors, performing is

more than just rehearsals andshows. All of them have madenew friends from around thePhiladelphia area as well.

“One night, we had a hugesleepover with the whole cast,”Henderson said. “It was really alot of fun.”

Porras said the cast has reallybonded over the past couplemonths and keeps in close con-tact even when they are awayfrom the theater.

“We have a really close rela-tionship with each other,” hesaid. “We even have a group chatnamed the Leg Lamp Friends.”

This likely won't be the lasttime theatergoers see Porras,Henderson or Budney on stage.All are looking forward to doing

more shows at the Walnut StreetTheatre in the future.“I’ve been telling my grandpar-

ents that the next show they havethat kids can audition, I want totry out,” Henderson said.

“A Christmas Story: The Musi-cal” runs through Jan. 10. Formore information or to purchasetickets, visit www.walnut-streettheatre.org.
