Maureen Mitchell will nolonger be serving as townshipmanager for Mt. Laurel.That was the news out of Mt.

Laurel Council’s June 27 meetingwhen council passed a resolutionauthorizing the removal ofMitchell from her post.Although the resolution out-

lines the separation as effective 30days from adoption of the resolu-tion, it also states that Mitchell is“immediately suspended” fromthe performance of any furtherduties as township manager.The only reason given during

the meeting for Mitchell’s re-moval, either from council orfrom Mitchell herself, was alsooutlined in the resolution: “Coun-cil believes the retention of a newtownship manager to carry outthe legislative and executive pro-grams of the township is in thebest interest of the township.”Other than that, Mayor Linda

Bobo said the township would notcomment further.

“Out of respect for Ms.Mitchell’s privacy, we will not dis-cuss the details of the separa-tion,” Bobo said.According to state law, town-

ship managers, upon their re-moval, may request a public hear-ing that shall be held no earlierthan 20 days, nor later than 30days, after the filing of such re-quest. Mitchell did not give anyindication at the meeting if shewould request a public hearing.In the event that Mitchell does

request a hearing, council passeda second resolution outlining therules and procedures if such apublic hearing should it occur.The resolution states that

Mitchell’s removal is not “forcause,” which is described instate law to mean the “convictionof a crime or offense involvingmoral turpitude,” and so, accord-ing to the resolution, any hearingwould be summary in nature.The resolution further states

that should a public hearingoccur, council is not required and

At age 5, Ben Hopkins, a resi-dent of Tabernacle, has an entire-ly different perception of what itmeans to be brave than most kidshis age. Although he looks like atypical, happy boy who lovessports and video games, he wasdiagnosed with Severe AplasticAnemia, a rare bone marrow fail-ure disorder, at age 3.To replenish the blood that has

been donated to Ben over theyears, and to help other familiesin need, an American Red Crossblood drive is being held in hishonor on Sunday, July 10 at theAloft Hotel in Mt. Laurel from 9a.m. until 2 p.m. Coordinated byBen’s mother, Toni, this is the sec-ond consecutive year the eventwill be taking place.“Ben’s diagnosis has affected

our family in a big way. Before hewas diagnosed, we didn’t evenknow what aplastic anemia was,but watching him go through itall has made us a lot more activein both the aplastic anemia com-munity and in terms of givingback to the community throughblood donation,” Hopkins said.

“We have awhole newperspectivenow.”Hopkins

and her hus-band, Zach,first knewsomethingwas wrongwhen theybegan notic-ing petechiae, round spots thatappear on the skin as a result ofbleeding, on their son’s skin. Im-mediately after, Zach took Ben toa pediatrician who requestedblood work. The results showedBen’s platelets were extremelylow, as were a few of his othercounts.The next step to diagnose the

toddler was to have him trans-ferred to the Children’s Hospitalof Philadelphia where moreblood was drawn, additional testswere run and a bone marrowbiopsy was performed.While the incidence of aplastic

anemia is only about two casesper a population of 1 million, itsconsequences are known to be

he Internet is quite a powerfultool, but, sometimes its powercan be used for bad instead of

good. Information as harmless asfacts, someone’s opinion or pictures ofpeople having fun can turn harmful ina second.Inappropriate comments on a photo;

attacking someone’s character, race,religion or sexuality; cyber-bullying;or straight mis-reporting facts all takeadvantage of the Internet’s power todo bad.Social media sites such as Facebook,

Twitter, Instagram and Snapchatmake it easier to connect people allover the world, and even easier to doso in a negative fashion.But, luckily, there is some good

going on in the digital world.

Local police departments have at-tributed significant drops in crimeover the last few years to the their uti-lization of social media.More departments throughout the

state are utilizing Facebook and Twit-ter to their advantage to notify thecommunity of important announce-ments and ask for residents’ help incatching a criminal, for example.Those two social media sites, as well

as information sharing service Nixle,not only notify residents of crimes,

alerts and issues, but also serve ascommunication tools for residents tosubmit their own issues and concernsdirectly to the department. It’s much easier, and more efficient,

for residents to submit information onthe computer than it is to call in orstop by the police department’s offices.It’s great to see that police depart-

ments at a local level are utilizing thelatest technology to make their jobseasier and more efficient, and provid-ing more avenues for residents to feelsafe and communicate with their localpolice force.To those departments that are utiliz-

ing the power of the Internet to itsfullest potential, bravo; keep it up. Tothose that aren’t, it’s time to step upand go out on a limb. It’s worth it.

does not intend to present anystatement or evidence in regardto its decision.According to the resolution,

during any such hearing, noquestioning or cross examinationof council members would be per-mitted, but Mitchell and her legalrepresentation would be given theopportunity to explain her posi-tion in regard to the reason coun-cil stated for her removal.Although several members of

the public attempted to use thepublic comment portion of theJune 27 meeting to comment onMitchell’s removal, Bobo saidcouncil would respect Mitchell’s

right to a hearing and would notbe taking any public comment re-garding the township managerposition outside of such a hear-ing.“If she chooses to have a hear-

ing, and you should know shortly,we’ll schedule it at that time andthe public will be allowed tospeak,” Bobo said.As Mitchell’s removal is not

listed as “for cause,” per state law,Mitchell is to be paid any unpaidbalance of her salary, togetherwith her salary for the next threecalendar months.Upon council’s return from a

period of executive session at theend of the meeting, it approved aresolution appointing currentmunicipal clerk Meredith Tom-czyk as interim acting townshipmanager until council appoints along-term successor for Mitchell.

quite serious. For example, CHOPwas able to determine that Ben’sbone marrow had stopped func-tioning and could not produce thecritical cell lines that make redblood cells, white blood cells andplatelets – confirmation of aplas-tic anemia. This inability causedhim to become dependent onblood transfusions every two tothree days for several monthsafter his diagnosis to survive.Yet, as a result of his bravery,

immunosuppressive drugs andthe medicine, Cyclosporine, the 5-

year-old has functioned independ-ently and without the requiredtransfusions since August 2014.However, the only real cure for Se-vere Aplastic Anemia is a fullbone marrow transplant, forwhich there is no match for Ben,most likely due to his varied eth-nicity.Years later, Ben is doing much

better, has higher counts andplans to wean off Cyclosporine bySeptember. However, the Hopkinsfamily still works to stress aware-ness and participation in blooddonation, platelet drives and inbone marrow collection. Al-though Ben is off to start kinder-garten at Sacred Heart School inMt. Holly in the fall, Toni admitsthat as his mother, the potentialneed for a future bone marrowdonor for Ben is constantly in theback of her mind.“I was very sick when I was 3,

but I was able to get better be-

cause people donated blood. So,donating blood is important toother people so they can get bet-ter,” Ben said.To make an appointment to do-

nate at this event, call 1-800-REDCROSS or visit redcrossblood.org.Sponsor Code: BraveBen“Blood and platelet donations

often decline during the summermonths when busy summerschedules and vacation plans cancause some donors to be lessavailable to give,” said Beth Toll,external communications manag-er for the Red Cross Penn-JerseyBlood Services Region. “Addition-ally, blood donations at highschool and college blood drives,which account for as much as 20percent of blood donations dur-ing the school year, decline whenmany schools are out of session.But, the need for blood remainsconstant all summer long to helppatients in need, like Ben.”
