    Evesham Mayor Randy Brownremembers a time during hischildhood when kids could stillride their bikes down MainStreet, heading toward the oldKmart in Tri-Towne Plaza tocheck out the store’s iconic “BlueLight Special” sales.

    On Jan. 12, Brown and resi-dents with similar memories of the Kmart and other stores in thenow gutted shopping center re-ceived a visual reminder thattime and tide truly wait for noman when demolition of theKmart commenced to make wayfor the Shoppes and Residences atRenaissance Square mixed-useredevelopment project.

    The project, first announced inOctober 2014 by Brown and shop-ping center owner Richard Bird-off of New York-based RD Man-agement, will transform the area

    into a site with more than 250apartments, two restaurants and12,000 square feet of retail nearRoute 70.

    About another 80,000 squarefeet of retail is also slated for thepart of the shopping center thatonce housed retailers such asKobe Grill, Subway and SuperFresh, although that area won’tgo through full demolition as theKmart did.

    Tri-Towne Plaza was originally

    built in 1975 on 20 acres withabout 180,000 square feet of build-ings. Over the years, stores cameand left the plaza. The center’stwo anchor stores – the SuperFresh grocery and Kmart, whicheventually became a Sears Essen-tials store – each closed years ago,leaving a majority of Tri-Towneunused.

    “I’ve been mayor since 2007,and this project here has been a

    project that we’ve worked on easi-

    ly the longest of any project inEvesham Township,” Brown saidat a press conference before thedemolition began. “Our goal hereis to continue to be progressive inEvesham and to continue to growdevelopment.”

    Brown said within two to threeyears the property should have avalue of more than $30 million,with the project already havingreceived preliminary approval

    from the township’s planning

    board.Brown also said the state De-

    partment of Transportation hasgranted approval for the landbuffering Route 70 from the startof the center to become a parkwhere residents and shoppers canwalk.

    According to Birdoff, he andhis associates anticipate sitework and construction of one of the first residential buildings will

    begin this spring near the cen-

    ter’s Burger King restaurant,which will also eventually be de-molished.

    “Our goal is to make this amixed-use facility where peopleare going to be living here, work-ing here, entertaining here, din-ing here, and it’s going to trans-form a site that’s been rundownfor various reasons and hopefully

    Students in the Lenape Region-al High School District now areable to use several 3-D printers,and other technologically ad-vanced systems, in a district-widescience, technology, engineeringand math program, thanks inpart to a grant from BAE Sys-tems, Inc.

    A $7,500 grant from BAE Sys-tems last year provided the neces-sary funds for the printers, whichstudents in all four schools in theLRHSD – Lenape, Shawnee,Cherokee and Seneca – are usingas part of Project Lead The Way.BAE Systems engineers recentlytoured a Cherokee High SchoolPLTW classroom to see the print-ers and students in action. BAESystems is donating another

    $7,500 to the district for the pro-gram again this year; the districthas not yet decided how the fundswill be used.

    “We are looking forward to apartnership with BAE Systems inwhich their engineers can serveas guest speakers and soundingboards for our students working

    on capstone projects,” saidHeather Xenakis, director of cur-riculum and instruction atLRHSD. “This type of relation-ship is beneficial to our studentswho choose to continue on aSTEM-related career path.”

    chool budgets are on the horizon

    statewide. There once was a

    time when residents had a di-

    rect way to give their input to the

    budget, by voting “yay” or “nay” for

    its passage. That opportunity has, for

    the most part, been removed in our

    state, but it doesn’t mean you can’t,and shouldn’t, be involved in the

    process.

    The toughest job in New Jersey

    right now? School board member has

    to be at or near the top of the list.

    Whether you support Gov. Christie’s

    approach to budgeting, school board

    members have had a tough time deal-

    ing with a reduction in state aid over

    the last few years.

    The vast majority of board mem-

    bers don’t want to raise taxes and/or

    cut services. But, sometimes, there is

    no other option.Across the state, almost all school

    districts will be doing less with less.

    But did your board cut enough from

    the budget? Too much? Do you agree

    with the tax rate? Do you think it

    should have been higher to provide

    more services? What are your ideas

    for cutting expenses and raising rev-

    enues?

    Whatever the budget situation

    proves to be this year, what needs to

    happen between now and next year to

    make things better?

    We invite you to write letters to the

    editor to share your thoughts with the

    rest of the community. If you support

    the budget, if you oppose it, if you

    have ideas that could bring additional

    revenue into your school district or

    help to cut costs, now is the time toshare them.

    Between now and when the school

    budget is passed, be involved as much

    as you can. Attend school board meet-

    ings and express your thoughts. Public

    school taxes account for the largest

    percentage of your tax bill, after all.

    You’ll be sending a message to your

    board of education regarding what

    you would like to see take place in fu-

    ture years – years that promise to be

    difficult yet again.

    in our opinion

    Get involvedSchool budget ta  lks are about to begin

    Your thoughts

    Throughout the school budget season,please share your thoughts with thecommunity through a letter to the editorin our paper.

    Last week, another Evesham TownshipCouncil meeting was held, and there wasanother motion to table the ordinances andresolutions that would start Evesham’sprocess of applying to the state for ap-proval to dissolve the Evesham MunicipalUtilities Authority.

    At its Jan. 12 meeting, council voted totable three ordinances and two resolutionsthat would start the process by which itwould seek approval from the Local Fi-nance Board under the state Department of 

    Community Affairs to dissolve the MUAand absorb the utility as a departmentunder the municipality.

    As it stands now, the MUA operates as anentity separate from the municipality, pro-viding water and wastewater services to

    properties throughout town with funding

    collected directly from ratepayers.Discussions on the potential dissolutionof the MUA started several months agowhen township manager Tom Czernieckisaid MUA ratepayers could potentially re-alize a savings of $4.3 million over 10 yearsif the MUA’s debt was reissued as munici-pal debt.

    Czerniecki also said about $9 million of ratepayer funds held in restricted reservesby the MUA for its $31 million in debt serv-ice would also be freed up if the municipal-ity absorbed the entity, and no jobs wouldbe lost in the process.

    The Jan. 12 meeting marked the thirdsince November where ordinances and res-olutions related to the dissolution of theMUA were listed on council’s agenda andthen tabled.

    Municipal officials have said the delays

    have been necessary to allow more time to

    gather additional financial information,but several residents used the public com-ment portion of the Jan. 12 meeting to askwhy MUA dissolution items keep appear-ing on agendas only to be tabled.

    Resident Rosemary Bernardi describedthe situation as “a shame” since residentscontinue to attend council meeting believ-ing they’ll have a chance to speak on theMUA dissolution, only to sit through meet-ings and have the items eventually tabled.

    “This is, I believe, the third meetingthey’ve been on the agenda and have beentabled, so it seems like a fire drill,” Bernar-

    di said. “You put them out there, you getpeople to come out to the meetings, and yetthey get tabled.”

    Bernardi asked council if there was a

    Still no vote on Evesham MUA dissolutionCouncil meeting marks third time since November that topic was on meeting’s agenda

    Karen Minerva’s third-gradeclass at Evans Elementary Schoolrecently spread holiday cheer, butnot in the way one might think.After the seven students in Min-erva’s class heard about other stu-dents in New Jersey who were un-able to participate in Halloweenparades because they could not

    afford to buy a costume, the classtook it upon themselves to collectthem in a project they dubbedCostumes for Kids.

    “My sister is a social worker inTrenton. We met for breakfast onHalloween morning and she toldme how some of the children inthe families she works with don’thave costumes to participate inschool parades,” said Minerva,who is assisted in her classroomby Florie Cirignano, an aide.

    She brought the issue to herclass, which became equallyupset, and decided to do some-thing about it. The studentslaunched the campaign by creat-ing a flyer, visiting other class-rooms at Evans asking for sup-port, and even speaking duringtheir school’s morning announce-ments. After four weeks, the stu-dents had collected 26 new or gen-tly used costumes appropriate forinfants to young teenagers. Sever-al of the students in Minerva’s

    class even had donated their per-sonal favorite costumes to theproject.

    way residents could know aheadof time if votes on the MUA disso-lution would begin at a particularmeeting.

    Mayor Randy Brown counteredBernardi’s first point by notingthat if a resident wants to speakregarding the MUA issue, theycan do so at any council meetingduring the portion for publiccomment.

    As for meetings where actualvotes will take place, Brown saidthat procedurally when councilfirst votes on the MUA dissolu-tion ordinances, those have to befollowed by a public hearing andsecond vote at a separate meeting.

    “That’d probably be the one Isuggest they come to is when wehave the public hearing, but theycan come anytime they want andcomment during agenda items or

    at the end,” Brown said.Resident Ken Mills also spoke

    about the issue at the meeting,saying it “would be nice” if coun-

    cil would only put MUA dissolu-tion items on the agenda when ac-tion would be taken.

    Mills also said he had been at-tending MUA meetings, andwhile he didn’t agree with all of the MUA board’s decisions, hesaid he believed those on theMUA board dedicated a lot of their time to the MUA and ques-tioned if council would physical-ly have the time to do the same.

    “I don’t know how you guyswould be able to spend that muchtime to take over their duties, be-cause they spend almost as muchtime as you guys do taking care of that,” Mills said.

    No information was given atthe council meeting if MUA dis-solution ordinances and resolu-tions would appear on the agendafor the next council meeting orwhen council would vote on theitems.

    munity and the importance of being a good citizen as part of thedistrict’s social studies curricu-

    lum,” Minerva said.Minerva also said she is al-

    ready planning to run Costumesfor Kids again next year.

    “I told them the story and it just made sense,” Minerva said.“No kid wants to see any otherkid not be able to participate. Itwas kid-driven.”

    Christine Minerva, Karen’syounger sister, collected the cos-tumes at Evans on Dec. 8. Shethanked the students and told

    them the costumes would be usedwell before Oct. 31.“Families come to us literally

    with the clothes on their back,”Christine Minerva said. “It’s im-portant for them to have tangible

    resources, but also for them tofeel a sense of normalcy. Duringthe holidays, we let our familiesgo ‘shopping’ in our basement,and our kids like to play dress up,so I know these costumes will beput to good use.”

    Christine Minerva is a coun-

    selor/Division of Child Protec-tion and Permanency Liaison forWomanspace in Mercer County, anon-profit that provides a com-prehensive array of services toindividuals and families impact-ed by abuse. Womanspace is dedi-cated to improving the qualityof life for adults and their fami-lies.

    “We can help other kids be-cause when they want to dress-up, they can have their costumes

    to play in,” said third-grader JadeTilo. “I want the kids to havegreat costumes, and I hope theylike it! Maybe when they get big-ger they might do that for otherpeople.”
