Medford Township had a sig-nificant drop in crime during2014, according to the state po-lice’s end-of-the-year UniformCrime Report.

The report said Medford saw a30 percent drop in overall crimeduring 2014. There were 217 totalcrime reports in 2014, down from310 in 2013 and 232 in 2012.

Medford Police Chief RichardMeder said he is very pleased tosee such a sharp decrease incrime.

“When the UCR says we’ve hada decrease in crime of 30 percent,

that’s ultimately what we are try-ing to do,” he said.

A big reason for the large de-crease was a change in the num-ber of burglaries, robberies andthefts. Burglaries were down 36.9percent from 2013 and thefts de-creased 33.3 percent. There werealso no reported robberies ormotor vehicle thefts last year. Thetownship had three robberies andtwo vehicle thefts in 2013.

In 2013, Medford and other sur-rounding municipalities had anincrease in burglary. Meder citedfactors such as the high price of gold and the drug epidemic thathelped lead to the increase. Hesaid statistics change from year-to-year because of a multitude of similar factors.

Last year, Medford Police put afocus on being as visible as possi-ble in all areas of the township.

“We’ve tried to do a very good job of using visibility as a deter-rent,” he said. “We made a con-centrated effort to be much morevisible in our neighborhoods andour business communities.”

Last year, the police depart-

ment began using a new databasefrom Business Watch Interna-tional that tracks all transactionsmade in secondhand shops anddealers based in Medford. Thepurpose of the database is to re-duce the amount of time and ef-fort expended in tracking downstolen items.

In less than a year, Meder said

By JOYCE MAYER Special to The Sun

In my mid-30s, I was a self-em-ployed art director specializing inbook publishing. I lived in Man-hattan and rented a summer cot-tage on Fire Island. My friendNancy met a man with a sailboatand made a deal. She would invitehim to join her houseguests fordinner and offered him a pre-din-ner shower, if he would take hersailing the next day.

That was how I met BernieMayer.

The following weekend, Bernieinvited me for cocktails and I de-clined because I assumed he wasinvolved with Nancy. Bernie in-formed me of the “deal” andbegan to talk. Suddenly, about 10p.m., Bernie realized what time ithad become and I was alerted tothe fact that I had four people inmy cottage waiting for me to

serve dinner!Rushing back to the cottage –

Bernie too – I explained to a veryangry, hungry group of peoplehow I had gotten lost in conversa-tion having discovered that wehad so many things in common,especially our values. Early in theconversation, Bernie had told mehow, as an undergraduate, realiz-ing he had a case of beer in thetrunk of his car, he turned him-self in to the College Ethics Com-mittee. It had happened acciden-

tally, but it was against collegerules. Hearing this, I had becomehyper-alert, thinking to myself,“Here is a man I could fall in lovewith.”

The angry, hungry people for-gave me and we included Berniein our meal and conversation.Each one came over to whisper,“Invite me to the wedding!”

We met in the summer of 1968and were married in March 1969.

Next March, we will have beenmarried for 46 years. We have awonderful son born in 1971 andtwo handsome grandsons.

When we met, Bernie was anexecutive for a Fortune 500 com-pany. He had extensive vacationtime, but constraints on availabil-ity of vacation time. We took a ro-mantic, seven-day vacation inMarch, arms embraced aroundeach other’s backs while Bernietaught me how to snorkel in Ja-maica’s coral reef. The following

September, we traveled for a weekin each of Capri, Positano andVenice. Dismayed that I was visit-ing Italy but not seeing Rome orFlorence, Bernie added an artist’strip for me alone to a week ineach city. My mother sighed, “Shefinally gets married but spendspart of her honeymoon withouther husband! Whoever heard of

After years of discussion andplanning, full-day kindergarten isfinally coming to Medford Town-ship Public Schools.

Superintendent Joseph DelRossi sent a letter to parents onFeb. 4 informing them full-daykindergarten will debut at all five

of the district's elementaryschools for the 2015-16 school year.

Del Rossi believes the timing isright to implement a full-daykindergarten program. He saidthe new program will increaseclass time for kindergarten stu-dents to better prepare them fortheir academic futures. In addi-tion, Del Rossi said the programwill result in no additional cost to

the taxpayer.The district is able to pay for

the program mostly through costcontainment and a reduction of class sections in the older grades.With the district experiencing adecline in enrollment, the ele-mentary schools will have fewerclass sections across the board,which has freed up resources forfull-day kindergarten.

“We are going to utilize thatmoney and also make other sacri-

fices,” Del Rossi said.One sacrifice Del Rossi re-

ferred to is a reduction in hoursfor teachers’ assistants. Some of the assistant hours will be shiftedto kindergarten teaching posi-tions.

Full-day kindergarten will alsoallow the district to save moneyon transportation costs. With thecurrent half-day kindergarten,buses have to make a mid-day run

to take morning kindergartenstudents home and bring after-noon kindergarten student toschool. This run will be eliminat-ed with full-day classes, savingthe district approximately$72,000.

Classroom space will also notbe an issue. Between space ac-quired with fewer class sectionsand space currently utilized forhalf-day kindergarten and the ex-tended kindergarten program,

there is plenty of room to housefull-day classes.

“Each school will be able tohouse its own space,” Del Rossisaid.

The district will only offer full-day classes next year. Half-dayclasses and the extended kinder-garten option will not be contin-ued.

here’s a new law being pro-

posed in the Assembly that

would require New Jersey

schools to teach students how they

should interact with police officers.

The bill is being touted as a way to pro-

tect both kids and cops, in the wake of

highly-publicized police shootingssuch as Michael Brown in Missouri.

Assemblyman Ralph Caputo, one of

the bill’s sponsors, had some poignant

words about why he thought the bill is

needed:

“Kids have to learn how to behave

when they’re being investigated or

talked to, because they could put them-

selves in jeopardy. It’s also a good effort

to protect the police. Kids have to rec-

ognize their authority when they’re

being questioned and how to conduct

themselves.”

Caputo’s words might seem like he is

putting the blame on the deceased kids

in cases such as Brown’s. However, he

says he’s not placing blame on anyone,

rather just seeking to educate kids on

situations they may come across that

no one speaks of: “When a kid jumps

out of a car, he may appear to be

threatening but he’s not – he just may

not understand what those protocols

are.”

It’s a shame that there have been

tragic situations such as those in Mis-

souri that have forced us to propose

laws such as this to protect kids and

cops from dangerous situations. But

that’s the world we live in.

Ultimately, though, we support any

program that educates our students

about life. School isn’t just about math,

science, English and other “tradition-al” subjects. It’s also about preparing

kids for the real world, and dealing

with police, and protection, is real

world stuff.

Education programs with police offi-

cers in schools is nothing new –

D.A.R.E has been around for awhile.

This proposed law, which we support,

is just another step in the right direc-

tion to teach students how they can be

better citizens, and how they can bet-

ter interact with the men and women

who are tasked with their protection.

in our opinion

Kids to learn how to deal with policeNew proposal w ou ld make it a requirement in schoo l, a nd it’s a good idea

Writer: Medford should exemptseniors from school taxes

Dropping off my Medford Townshipquarterly tax payment this morning, Istarted to think of the insanity of what wepay just to have the privilege of living inthis state and township. Approximately 72percent of our tax bill goes to pay for localeducation, but we are senior citizens with-out any school children or grandchildrenwhich we are supporting.

Politicians will say that supporting localschools enhances the value of your proper-ty and when and if you sell your propertyit will be worth more. Yet consider that

when we bought our current home in 1997the cost was $227,000. Yet based on a recentsale next door, it is currently only worth alittle more than $300,000. Also consider thatwhen we bought the property, the propertytaxes were $6,500. Today, they are approach-

ing $9,000 a year. Over the past 18 years, wehave paid $135,000 in property taxes, of which $97,000 went to the school district.

How has that enhanced our property’svalue? And considering the cost of upkeepand insurance, plus these taxes, the politi-cians’ logic is a losing proposition.

It is hard to understand that in 2000there were 22,253 people living in Medford.In 2013, this population had increased aminiscule 4.4 percent to 23,225. Also, overthe past 10 years or longer, there has beenno significant construction of large hous-ing developments that would have addedschool-age children. Why then are ourtaxes constantly going up to support theseschools, and their insatiable demand is

constantly asking for more? It would seemthat with a minimal increase in popula-tion, there would be a decrease in the de-mand for schools and hence the cost of thiseducation. We are already paying morethan $13,000 a year for each elementary stu-

dent and $19,000 a year for each high schoolstudent. When is enough, enough?

When will this insanity stop? There are

many communities around the countrythat have recognized that at least senior cit-izens have made their contribution to edu-cation and therefore exempt them fromthese taxes which offer them little benefit.Almost 24 percent of Medford’s populationis 60 years of age or older. At some point,local and state governance needs to recog-nize that they have contributed enough andgive them a break on taxes that no longerbenefit them.

the database has become a keytool to solving cases of stolenitems.

“It’s allowing agencies to worka lot more efficiently with one an-other,” he said. “It’s helping us re-cover some items.”

In many cases, criminals willsteal precious metals, jewelry orelectronics and try to sell themquickly for cash. In the past, po-lice had a difficult time tracking

down these items.“Before, you would have tostart calling, then you would haveto get in the car and drive to pawnshops,” Meder said. “It was a longand tedious task.”

Since all secondhand transac-tions must be registered on thedatabase, officers can pull up in-formation more quickly than ever

before.“It’s a tremendous enforcement

tool,” Meder said.The police department doesn’t

put too much weight into the Uni-form Crime Report. Meder saidthe report is good at showing howcrime is trending in the townshipyear-to-year. However, the town-ship looks at other information aswell.

“We look at the UCR statisticsand we look at statistics through-

out the county,” Meder said.To see the full Uniform CrimeReport for Medford or any othermunicipality in New Jersey, visitwww.njsp.org/info/ucr_current-data.html.

With full-day class, kinder-garten students will have moreinstruction time. However, Ad-ministrative Director of Pro-gramming and Planning ThomasOlson said there will not bechanges to the amount of materi-al the students are learning.

Instead, the additional instruc-tion time will be used for betterreinforcement. Olson said teach-ers will be able to do more enrich-ment and focus on individual stu-dents better. The increased in-

struction time will also allowclasses to put more focus on sci-ence.

Kindergartners will also spendmore time in art classes. The plan

is to double the amount of music,art and physical education from

30 to 60 minutes per week.The increased class time won't

just revolve around classes. Stu-dents will have additional time toplay, socialize and better developemotionally and behaviorally.The district feels this additionaltime is as important as the timespent in class.

“We want to be attending to thewhole child,” Del Rossi said.

Del Rossi said reaction fromparents has been overwhelmingly

in support of a full-day program.He said some families have senttheir children to private, full-daykindergartens in the past becauseof the lack of a program in thedistrict. The district hopes tohave more kids beginning their

journey through the MedfordTownship School District inkindergarten than years prior.

The district is now acceptingregistration for kindergartennext year. Parents can registertheir child online at www.med-

ford.k12.nj.us.Anyone with questions about

the program can contact the su-perintendent's office at (609) 654-6416 ext. 8001.
