    Grove Street project finishesunder budget. PAGE 6

    By BRIGIT BAUMAThe Sun

    Last week at Haddonfield Me-morial High School's Spirit Week,there was more school spirit thannormal. Individual classes cametogether to compete as well asraise money for charities, as theydo every year. However, it wasn't

    just about classes competing, butthe school coming together as awhole.

    Spirit Week is about buildingunity and camaraderie betweenindividual classes and as a school.We pride ourselves on our senseof community, so we build thecommunity within each class andthen together as a whole, saidTracy A. Matozzo, dean of stu-dent life.

    An individual really broughtall classes together this year senior Colin Hough. Colin hadmaintained his good grades,

    started a nonprofit organizationcalled Unstoppable and kept akind heart throughout his yearsat high school, all the while brave-ly battling a rare form of cancercalled rhabdomyosarcoma. In lateOctober, Colin passed away at theage of 17 from the cancer.

    Every time I hung out withhim, he was a really great kid,and it was always really nice. Itwas fun to be around him. He was

    always optimistic. He knew howmy dad was because my dad alsohad cancer, and he would helpbring me up, said Scott Young,co-secretary of the senior class.

    He was always involved in

    Spirit Week, even when he wasn'tin school. Our classmates reallymiss him, Julia Fonshell, seniorclass president, said.

    To honor Colin, instead of theindividual classes dressing up

    separately last Monday, theschool as a whole wore red for aRed Out day in support of Colin.Red rally towels and bandanaswere sold and worn for Colin aswell. Throughout Spirit Week, the

    senior class itself decided to keephis spirit alive and raise moneyfor Colins charity.

    He was a huge part of ourgrade, and we wouldn't havewanted to raise money for any-thing else, said Carly Bonnet, co-secretary of the senior class.

    Unstoppable began when Colinwas going through his chemotreatments for hours and therewas nothing to do. Colin wouldlisten to music with noise cancel-ing headphones to pass the time.However, without those head-phones, it was quite noisy. That iswhen he decided to take actionand make Unstoppable.

    In his thoughtful nature, hethought to make this charity anddonate noise canceling head-phones to other children whowere going through chemothera-py. Unstoppable has slightly shift-ed. He want(ed) to help those whotravel to get to their cancer treat-

    ment, too. He has always focusedon helping others, Mark Ricci,Colins step-father and husbandof Colin's mother Tracey Ricci,said in a previous interview.

    I think raising money for Un-stoppable is important to themand helps them contribute tosomething that might give them asense of hope, as opposed to the

    HMHS Spirit Week builds unity, camaraderieTradition also a chance to remember classmate Colin Hough, who died earlier this school year

    Success with Learning DisordersBy Carlo B. Melini, MD FAAP

    Website - www.CarloBMeliniMD.com

    All students need success. It has been said that success is like vitamins, we all need some. Somestudents however fail to achieve the success they deserve. Subtle and sometimes overt differences inlearning patterns can create havoc for a student in school. The most common neurodevelopmentaldysfunction involves the Attention System. This is the Chief Executive Officer of the brain. It directsby promoting, inhibiting, assisting and controlling all that we learn, remember, listen to and produce.No one has inattention for everything. Rather, it is inattention for those things that are bor ing or dif-ficult to understand. On the other hand, attention for things we really enjoy and care about may neverbe stronger. So it is really a misnomer to call someone Attention Deficit; rather it should be labeledMisdirected Attention.

    Often, individuals with this affliction are extremely creative and can become very successful adultswhen they can practice their specialty- do what they like. Although traditional past research did notincriminate sugar and foods as causative of inattention or increased activity, more recent research sug-gests that the artificial dyes and preservatives, found in many foods today, can worsen the condition,and should be avoided. Recent research confirms that exercise can be especially beneficial in improving

    attention. Sitting still all day hinders the ability to sustain attention. Schools that provide regular ex-ercise at the beginning of the day and throughout the day have students with very little AttentionDeficit!

    Associated with at least 90% of students with attentional issues are learning differences. They may involve sequencing, fine motor, language, organization or memory. They may be subtle and not readily recognized without appropriate evaluations. These are students with normal to gifted intelligence; yet,if not recognized and by-passed early, may fail to achieve commensurate with their intelligence. Thethree main categories of learning disorders include: Dyslexia (Reading) 80% Dyscalculia (Math) 10%and Dysgraphia (Writing) 10%. Each, if recognized early, can be mastered and overcome!

    Attending school heralds the end of the protection and nurture of home life. During a typical day

    at school, students experience successes and failures, many resulting in future feelings of self-worthand self-esteem. Lets not blame students as lazy unmotivated or immature. Rather, lets makesure they are properly evaluated where strengths and weaknesses in the various domains needed forlearning are determined. Only then will we stop the cycle of failure and lack of success that plague toomany students.

    History through the eyes ofCamden Countys Veterans

    It has been said thatif we do not learnfrom history, we are

    doomed to repeat it.This nation is rapidlylosing the opportu-nity to learn aboutWorld War II fromthose that partici-pated in it and wit-nessed it firsthand. Approximatelyevery two minutes a memory of World War II disappears forever. Themen and women who fought andwon the great conflict are now intheir 80s and 90s and are dyingquickly at the rate of just over 600 aday, according to recent U.S. VeteransAdministration figures.

    The Freeholder Board has made ita priority to capture the trials, tribu-lations and triumphs of our local vet-erans as a lasting memory to theircommitment to our country and free-dom. The Camden County Office of Veterans Affairs has partnered with

    the Rutgers Oral History Archives inorder to interview and record the ex-periences of our veterans and makethose recordings available to futuregenerations.

    The second documentary in the on-going series will be shown as part of Camden Countys Pearl Harbor Dayremembrance aboard the BattleshipNew Jersey Museum and Memorialon Dec. 5. The film tells the story of World War II through the eyes of six

    Camden County Veterans. Amongthe veterans featured is J. DomerZerbe who served as an infantry offi-cer in the 88th Infantry Division inItaly, and Carlo Ginobile who flewmissions as a B-24 Liberator bombertail gunner with the 15th Air Force.Their accounts are moving and nowcaptured for perpetuity for all to seeand hear.

    These brave veter-ans agreed to sharetheir personal knowl-

    edge of the hardshipsand horrors of battleso that future genera-tions may learn fromtheir first-hand ac-count of World War II.The documentary re-

    counts their stories of service on theland, sea and air, from the kamikaze-scarred Intrepid to remote airbasesin Papua New Guinea, and from theenemy-infested jungles of Guam tothe bloody beaches at Iwo Jima. Wethank them for their service to ournation, and for allowing us to docu-ment their contributions and sacri-fices.

    More documentaries will be pro-duced and more interviews will beconducted as we continue to preservethe rich history and proud legacy of Camden Countys veterans.

    Our partner, the Rutgers Oral His-

    tory Archives, conducts interviewswith New Jersey residents abouttheir life experiences. They have con-ducted more than 1,500 oral historyinterviews statewide while earninga reputation as an unequaled re-source on World War II.

    If you would like more informationabout the Camden County VeteransOral History project, or would like toshare your story, please contact theCamden County Office of Veterans

    Affairs at 1-800-464-VETS. If you haveany other questions about countyservices, please call me at (856) 225-5458 or email me at [email protected]. Also, you can like uson Facebook/camdencountynj andfollow us on Twitter at @camden-county.nj.

    The utility work that was just completedon Grove Street came in under budget byalmost $500,000, borough officials said. Theoriginal contract amount was $1.9 million,and after some changes, the total wentdown to $1.4 million. Haddonfield commis-sioners approved the change order duringtheir Tuesday, Nov. 25 meeting.

    Due to some scope changes and notneeding to put in some quantities that wereadded just in case, we ended up coming inalmost exactly a half million dollars underbudget, Commissioner John Moscatellisaid.

    Moscatelli explained that some of thesavings was due to concrete work, whichwas not done by the borough, and would

    have to be done by the county when it doesits portion in the spring. However, thatwould be only $50,000 to $75,000 the bor-ough would have to pay. Overall, though,Moscatelli said it was qui te a savings.

    One resident asked about a storm drainthat was supposed to be put in, feeling theroad was prone to flooding and very danger-ous. Moscatelli explained that there wasoriginally some storm drains in that loca-tion, but it was dropped from the final proj-ect. A large group of residents in the areawas opposed to it, and they were able to cre-ate enough questions about it at thestate level that the approvals weren't avail-able.

    There was some question at the statelevel if it would be approved in time, so inorder to get the funding package through,they dropped that portion of the scope,

    Moscatelli said. It was a matter of do theproject or not.When asked if the county could rein-

    state the storm drain, Moscatelli said itcould not do it at this time.

    In other news: Commissioners authorized two inter-

    local agreements, one for county ice andsnow removal and the other with Glouces-ter City for the purchase of salt brine for$0.35 per gallon.

    A resident expressed his concern withdogs being kept on leashes as well as resi-dents picking up after their dogs. He askedthe commissioners to remind residents todo so. Commissioner Neal Rochford askedthat a reminder be put on the HaddonfieldPolice Department Facebook page.

    The next commissioners meeting willbe on Tuesday, Dec. 16 at 6:30 p.m.

    Family comes first. That is oneof the mantras of our company.It is one of the reasons why a

    lot of us who have been around thesehalls for awhile enjoy working here somuch. In a sense, family comes firsthas made this company a second fami-

    ly for many us.This time of year, family is on every-

    ones mind even more. Thanksgivingwas just last week, and Christmas,Hanukkah and New Years are a fewweeks away.

    We all take a break from our workon these days, and we all pitch in foreach other when need be so we can bewith our families during these timesof celebration.

    Generally speaking, we support anyand all measures that protect familiesand help them take the time they needto enjoy whats most important in life.

    But we dont support state Sen.Richard Codeys proposal to bar retailstores from opening before 9 p.m. onThanksgiving at least not as it iscurrently constructed.

    Its not that we support extendingBlack Friday deals to earlier in theweek, and encouraging lines of peopleto rush away from their families tosnatch up a limited-time-only, limited-stock-available blockbuster sale.

    Its just that we dont support priori-tizing one persons family over anoth-er, and thats exactly what this propos-

    al does.Codey says barring retail stores

    from opening before 9 p.m. on Thanks-giving would protect low-incomeworkers from being torn from theirfamilies during the holiday.

    Apparently, though, he doesnt care

    too much about low-income workerswho have to show up for work at gasstations and convenience stores onthat day just the ones who work inour states glitzy malls and outlets.And he also doesnt seem interested inprotecting families of non-low-incomeworkers, such as journalists whocover high school football games onTurkey Day.

    If Codey wants to protect families,then he should write a bill that does

    just that, not one that only protectscertain families while obviously ignor-ing others.

    in our opinion

    All f amilies firstSen. Codeys proposal for retail sto re hou rs on Thanksgiving not good en ough

    10 THE HADDONFIELD SUN DEC. 39, 2014

    By KRISTEN DOWDThe Sun

    Owning a home has long beenpart of the American dream, thattangible, visual proof of hardwork and dedication.

    Less than a decade ago, thisdream became a reality for manyacross the nation. Interest rateswere at historic lows, banks were

    eager to offer home loans to mostanyone who came looking, and thereal estate market was boom-

    ing.But when the bot-

    tom droppedout dur-

    ing

    the recession, that facet of theAmerican dream shifted. Unem-ployment rates rose, credit scoresfaltered and homes were lost,whether to foreclosures or fromdownsizing to make ends meet.

    Lessons were learned fromboth the real estate boom and thefollowing crash, and as the mar-ket has slowly recovered duringthe past two years, local real es-

    tate professionals are optimistic.It was a most interesting bub-ble, Alyce Klaus, broker/salesrepresentative with Weichert Re-altors Moorestown, said. We re-ally have no expectations in ourindustry that well see that again.I think that we learned a lot fromthe boom, and I think that, over-all, the housing industry has

    taken more positive meas-ures to create more stability.

    The rise and fall

    of the marketKlaus said the last boom in the

    market was in 2006, and thesharpest drop in the local marketwas rather immediate.

    We had the boom and then wehad the drop. It clearly was a per-fect graph, she said. Were talk-

    ing general South Jersey,not most specifical-

    ly this area. Oneof the things I

    would have to say,were very fortunate inthe market were inright here.

    According to DaveLewis, broker/owner of B.T. Edgar and Son Re-altors in Moorestown,the real estate marketsaw a more detrimentalcrash in other parts of

    the country.Relatively

    speaking, we

    werent hurtthat badly. Thekey word in that

    sentence is rela-tively. Areas likeFlorida, Las

    Vegas, California where youheard all the horror stories of foreclosures and bankruptcies theyve really bounced back, butthey were so far down percentage-wise, Lewis said. This area of the country tends to be a little

    more stable.Lewis, who is a past president

    of the Burlington Camden Coun-ty Association of Realtors andboard member of the New JerseyAssociation of Realtors, saw the

    height of the market in 2007, withaverage home sale prices at$325,000 in Burlington Countyand $232,000 in Camden County.He said the sales declined first,and then the prices started todrop.

    It was relatively gradual untilabout 2008, when the financial cri-sis hit, he explained. It basical-ly bounced along the bottom for acouple years until the summerof 2012, it started to pick back up

    again.Anne E. Koons, sales associate

    with Berkshire Hathaway Home-Services Fox & Roach, Realtors,in Cherry Hill, saw the decline inthe market later.

    I didnt see it burst until the

    end of 2009, Koons said, attribut-ing this to the fact that she sells alot of high-end homes. And then,of course, it was definitely (a

    downturn) in 2010 and 2011.Koons said homes more than

    $600,000 dipped about 25 percent,and homes listed for more than amillion dollars dipped between 30percent and 35 percent.

    Why did the market crash?Why the real estate market

    tanked is not so much up for de-

    bate clearly, the economic crisisdirectly impacted the market but pinpointing exactly what hap-pened isnt easy.

    I think the banking systemwas, perhaps, overly generous.And I think America as a whole most people invest in housingwith this eternal optimism. Its atough adjustment to that monthlypayment, but everyone looks tomoving up in their job, salary in-creases, Klaus said. With somany small businesses thatclosed and downsizing of bigcompanies, I think that was a lotof shock there. People had posi-tioned themselves with that opti-mism and werent anticipating orprepared financially for those pe-riods of unemployment. That wasa good deal of it.

    Koons also said the problemstarted during the boom.

    The prices of homes were justinflating for no reason, she said.Ill never forget, I sold a house in05 for $400,000, and a year and ahalf or two years later, I sold thesame house for $500,000. The peo-ple hadnt done anything, but itwas supply and demand. Theycould get (the price), and they gotit.

    I couldnt understand whythere would be so much growthwhen there really was nothingdone to justify it.

    Angela Barnshaw, CEO of Had-donfield real estate agencyAgent06, said the fault of the mar-

    ket crash fell not just on thelenders, but on the real estate in-dustry as well.

    It was an unregulated mort-gage and real estate industry not just mortgage, she said. Its

    about both industries. The mort-gage industry got all of thespankings, and the real estate in-dustry went virtually un-scathed.

    It was this, she said, combinedwith an uneducated consumerthat caused the crash.

    The current marketComparing sale prices since

    the market began to recovershows a steady, if gradual, im-provement.

    During the recession, Burling-ton County saw the lowest aver-

    age settled price in February 2013,at $217,000. Camden Countys low-est month was January 2013, at$168,000.

    In December 2013, the averagesales price of homes in Burling-ton County had increased to$238,694. In Camden County, itwas $186,333.

    In June of this year, thoseprices reached $267,173 inBurlington County and $206,974in Camden County. The first half of 2014 saw an average salesprice of $240,232 in BurlingtonCounty and $194,213 in CamdenCounty.

    In October, the average salesprice was $196,500 in BurlingtonCounty and $156,000 in CamdenCounty. There was an increase inunits sold for both counties;Burlington County saw an ap-proximate 3 percent increase,while Camden County saw about5 percent.

    Local real estate agents arelooking forward to this salestrend continuing, and they canhelp drive the market by the ad-vice they give to consumers.

    If we overinflate a price, wearent doing anybody any favors,Klaus said. The role that (Real-tors) play, its earning trust andrespect from buyers and sellers.Our job is to educate them on thecurrent market conditions and todeal honestly with them. Youcant tell people what they want tohear Its in the best interest of

    everybody to be factual, correctand honest when dealing with aproperty.

    Lewis said its important forpeople to know home sales are im-proving.

    Were trying to build confi-dence with folks, educate themthat its just a business cycle,Lewis said, and that things willbe getting better.

    Recovering the marketWhen consumers are educated

    and honest about what they canafford, the market will continueto rebuild, Barnshaw said.

    Do the math, look at yourbudget, be honest and then de-cide, OK, they said based on thisIm approved up to this, but be-cause Im looking at the wholepicture, because I as the con-sumer only know the whole pic-ture, I know I can only spend upto this point, Barnshaw ex-plained. Its not about whatyoure comfortable doing.You need to look at the whole pic-ture.

    Building consumer confidenceappears to be key in recoveringthe real estate market, and as theeconomy stabilizes, that confi-dence comes back.

    I think, in at least the last two

    years, we have begun to see veryconservative, healthy and steadyrecovery, Klaus said. Your con-sumer confidence has increased,and unemployment numbershave improved. That has a defi-nite mark on the publics choiceto come back and re-enter, to lookfor property.

    Lewis said there is a lot of pent-up demand for housing, and

    that will improve the market.The economy is slowly getting

    better and consumer confidenceis increasing, Lewis said. Itsgoing to take awhile for the pricesto come back, at least to the pre-crash levels. Its going to take acouple more years. The good signis inventory is getting scarce, andthat usually causes prices torise.

    Dozens of Haddonfield resi-dents turned out last Thursdayevening to provide input andideas for a planned Sustainabilityand Green Building Element tothe boroughs Master Plan.

    Commissioner Neil Rochfordand Sustainable Haddonfield co-chairs Julie Beddingfield andDiane Schrauth kicked off themeeting with an overview of howthe project started and the manysustainable programs Haddon-field has in place. Phil Caton andElizabeth McManus, planners atClarke Caton Hintz, explained theSustainability Element and thetypes of issues it might cover.The highlight of the meetingcame after the formal presenta-tions when the attendees tookpart in surveys at various sta-tions at which they providedinput designed to shape the fu-ture Sustainability Element. Res-

    idents identified preferred greendevelopment tools that could beused to achieve more sustainabledevelopment (such as greenbuildings, sustainable streets,and sustainable stormwater man-agement), and ranked the impor-tance of categories such as re-newable energy, waste reduction,natural resource protection andhistoric preservation.

    A dedicated website for theSustainability Element is set upat www.haddonfieldsustainabili-tyelement.com where further in-formation and updates can befound.

    The brief surveys presented atthe open house are available onthe website and at www.survey-monkey.com/s/36ZNFL9.

    All classes at HMHS raisemoney for charities that affecttheir grade, or someone in theirgrade personally. The seniors,along with raising money forColins charity, also raised moneyfor the Cystic Fibrosis Founda-tion and JVDRS, a charity for ju-venile diabetes. The junior classraised money for the Brooke Mul-

    It is about his legacy. He can'tbe here with us, but we can raisemoney for him. The fact that weare raising money for him keepshim in our minds. And I thinkthat is what is important, not toforget, Joey Reisman, seniorclass vice president, said.

    Overall, the seniors were thewinners for the 2014 HMHS SpiritWeek.

    On Nov. 19, Dr. Richard Perry

    was one of 110 superintendentsselected to participate in the FirstSuperintendents Conference atthe White House.

    More than 1,200 superintend-ents out of 16,000 across the coun-try attempted to participate inthis summit. Most were fromlarge school districts spanningfrom Alaska, California, Col-orado, Florida, Indiana, Iowa,Texas and Pennsylvania, to namea few. Only six were chosen fromNew Jersey. Perry was the onlyone from south Jersey selected.

    The day was intense in termsof work sessions and discussionswith Secretary of Education

    Arne Duncan and panels about

    teaching and learning initiativesutilizing technology as a tool forvarious types of school districtsacross the country. According toDuncan, our school district is oneof the best and one of the leadersin innovation and instruction.The best part of the day waswhen the superintendents metwith the president of the UnitedStates in the East Room of theWhite House after going throughseveral checkpoints. After talkingwith them, President Obamabegan to exit. As he did, he ap-proached Perry and talked to himfor about a minute, thanking himfor coming and telling him that

    his school district was doing an

    outstanding job and to keep up allthe good work.You can't go any higher than

    the recognition of the presidentof the United States and to be cho-sen to participate in this experi-ence is quite an honor for all of us. Perry would like to sincerelythank the board of education, ad-ministration, teachers, students,parents and community for giv-ing him this opportunity and toalso congratulate everyone inHaddonfield for this prestigiousrecognition.

    Daniel Boychuck of Haddon-

    field and Bear Creek, Pa., a seniorwrestler at Wyoming CollegePreparatory School, will continuehis academic and athletic careerat the University of Maryland infall 2015.

    Boychuck will wrestle forMarylands head coach KerryMcCoy, a two-time Olympian andthree-time All-American, in theNCAA Div. I Big Ten Conference.In his six years as head coach of the Terrapins, formerly in the At-lantic Coast Conference, McCoyled the team to three ACC titles,four top-20 finishes in the NCAAChampionship Tournament and11 All-American titles. He wasnamed ACC Coach of the Yearthree times. The Terps completedthe 2013-2014 season with a recordof 9-8, a 3-3 conference record andfinished fifth in the ACC champi-onship tournament, with onewrestler taking second at the 2014NCAA tournament.

    Boychuck said he had also con-

    sidered Bucknell University, butwas most interested in attendingMaryland and wrestling forMcCoy. He sees the university andwrestling program as a good fitfor him.

    Because Maryland has twoOlympians on its wrestling staff and because it made the move tothe Big Ten earlier this year, I feltthis was the right place for me,Boychuck said. Ive known (newassistant coach and Olympian)Rob Eiter for a few years now andboth he and Coach McCoy aregreat coaches who can makeevery wrestler better. The teamreally made me feel at home.

    Boychuck, who expects towrestle at 149 pounds for Mary-land, began wrestling in firstgrade when he was 6 years oldand competed with the Top CatWrestling Club and Team NewJersey, where he won the NewJersey State Tournament in mid-dle school under the guidance of Ryan Scannall and Guy Rizzolo. Athree-year varsity letter-winnerat Wyoming Seminary, he haswrestled for Head Coach ScottGreen at 106 pounds, 113 poundsand 126 pounds and will wrestle

    at 145 pounds as a senior. In 2012and 2013, he won the Pennsylva-nia State Prep Championships at106 and 113; in 2012 he took secondplace in the National Prep Cham-pionships at 106 and fifth in Na-tionals in 2013 at 113.

    A two-time All-American, Boy-chuck won the 2013 FILA CadetGreco-Roman Championship at46 kilograms and took fifth placeat the FILA Cadet World Champi-onships held in Baku, Azerbai-

    jian in 2013.Boychuck is one of two Sem

    wrestlers heading to Maryland in2015, said Green. His talents havehelped the Blue Knights achieve anational team ranking of firstplace in this years WIN Maga-zine preliminary rankings, aswell as earn the teams seventhPennsylvania State Prep TeamChampionship and winning theNational Prep Championship in2014.

    Danny has been a stalwartmember of a team that has wonfour state titles and one nationaltitle in his time here, Green said.

    He is expected to step up as aleader this year, as one of onlytwo seniors on the roster. Mary-land is a great fit for him. It isclose to home and offers the com-petitiveness of the Big Ten sched-ule that great wrestlers crave.Danny is one of the best techni-cians in the nation and has madehuge strength gains in the offsea-son. I expect him to be successfulas a Terp both on the mat and inthe classroom. Head coach andformer Olympian Kerry McCoy isthrilled to have established apipeline with Sem.

    Boychuck is the son of Danieland Anne Boychuck of Haddon-field.
