A cranky Army general, acharming ditz, a pill-addictedwife of a senator, a know-it-allprofessor and a whole cast full of other kooky, eccentric charactersare coming to Voorhees, when onSaturday, Feb. 21, the VoorheesTheatre Company’s studentboard, in association with theVoorhees Theatre company, pres-ents “The Murderous Mansion of Mr. Uno.”

Produced and performed en-tirely by the high school-aged stu-dents of the Voorhees TheatreCompany’s student board, “TheMurderous Mansion of Mr. Uno”is a murder mystery comedy thatfinds the mysterious Mr. Unodying (multiple times) after invit-ing several eccentric guests to hismansion.

As the guests start dying aswell, those who remain have to

find the killer before it’s too late,with the identity of the assailantdecided by audience ballot duringthe play’s intermission, and oneof the show’s multiple endingsplayed out as a result.

With students directing andfilling the cast of the show, co-di-rectors Emily Frantz, 17, andAlexis Schmidt, 18, both of Voorhees, said the cast can’t evenget through three pages without

themselves laughing.“It’s a pretty cool experience

because we got to choose theshow, we have the budget to dowhatever we want, we’re in

charge of costumes, props, every-thing – it’s interesting,” Frantzsaid. “It’s really fun to work withyour peers.”

Schmidt said it was her and

Frantz’ first time directing in-stead of acting, so they were gain-ing an appreciation for every-thing it takes for people their ageto come together and put on a

If you sit on a school board or mu-nicipal governing body, you’re en-tering the part of the year that

probably causes you the mostheadaches. It’s budget time. It’s time todo the impossible: provide outstandingservice for little or no money.

A few years ago, Gov. Christie madeheadlines – and more than a few ene-mies – when he slashed state fundingand eventually added a 2 percent capon tax hikes.

Since then, at least some of themoney has returned. Sometime thismonth, the governor will release statefunding figures for this year.

But it’s safe to say that no district ortown will find itself rolling in dough.Governing bodies will continue to facedecisions that involve reducing orholding the line on services and/orraising taxes. And we all love more

taxes, don’t we?We already pay the highest property

taxes in the nation – $8,161 on average,according to recently-released datafrom the Department of CommunityAffairs – so why not pay more?

One bright spot – some would saythe only bright spot – to come of this isthat many governing bodies these dayshave made the budget process open tothe public.

“Transparent” is the watchwordtoday.

It’s a smart move to involve the pub-

lic – everyone from those who want tocut taxes to the bone to those whowould like to see expanded services.

When the public is invited in, theynot only see the difficult choices lead-ers have to make, but they also feel likethey have a voice. Leaders are listening

to them. Their input is valued. Whilenot everyone will be happy with everydecision, at least there is a sense of in-clusion and “ownership” of theprocess.

We encourage everyone to get in-volved with their local budget process-es this year. In most instances, therewill be hearings. Items will be posted

online.It’s easy to offer your suggestions tothe people who eventually will makethe final decision.

And, chances are, your feedback willbe appreciated.

in our opinion

Budget timeIt’s that t ime of year again when tough d ecisions have to be made

Get involvedThink taxes are too high? Think serviceshave been cut too deeply? Now is the timeto make your voice heard. It’s budget sea-son, and most local governing bodies haveways to involve the public in the decision-making process.

FEB. 11–17, 2015 –THE VOORHEES SUN 9 Camden County SustainabilityPlan looks to the future

In 2014, the Cam-den County Free-holder Boardcrafted an ambi-tious roadmap tocreate a sustainableinfrastructure andsave taxpayersmoney. This multi-faceted plan was cre-ated from theprinciples of conservation, effi-ciency and building stability in ouroperations. The Board focused on avariety of ways to implement newgreen practices that will be benefi-cial today and improve our qualityof life in the future.

Practices such as water conserva-tion, energy efficiency, waste reduc-tion, vehicle fleet management,green purchasing, green buildingdesign and investments in innova-tive technologies, such as renew-able energy generation, are all partof the County’s sustainability plan.

Next month, new LED lights willbegin to be installed on CamdenCounty roads and facilities. TheFreeholder Board entered into apilot program with Atlantic CityElectric to convert 84 existing streetlight fixtures to LED lighting, re-ducing operating costs and increas-ing the longevity of the lighting.Two Camden County facilities, theSouth County Regional Branch of the Library System in WinslowTownship and the Camden CountyDepartment of Public Works andCommunications Center Campusin Lindenwold, will also receive theLED lighting upgrade.

We are confident that convertingto LED lighting will be beneficial tomunicipalit ies too. That is why wewe worked with the CamdenCounty Improvement Authority toprovide the financing they need tofollow our lead in this initiative.

The Camden County MunicipalUtility Authority (CCMUA) is oncourse to be carbon neutral, mean-ing they will not buy or use outsideenergy. This will be accomplishedby utilizing a combination of re-

newable energy sourcesand new efficiencies toreduce or eliminate op-erational costs. Some of the more notable up-grades are installing a2-Megawatt solar sys-tem and creating en-ergy throughwastewater.

The Camden CountyParks Department and Environ-mental Center was the first build-ing to be certified as a Leadershipin Energy and Environmental De-sign (LEED) building in our region.Some of the more notable charac-teristics include a green roof, re-newable energy sources, waterlessurinals and recycled material usedto build the structure.

The Freeholder Board has inte-grated geothermal heating at theCCMUA, Camden County Collegeand the Camden County Boathouse.This process allows buildings todraw heat from under the earth in-stead of relying on internal heatingand cooling operations.

The Camden County TechnicalSchool completed an energy effi-ciency program through the state tosave more than $3 million over thenext 15 years for the campus. Thesesavings will be maximized by up-grading and investing into a varietyof different operations at bothPennsauken and Gloucester Town-ship campuses.

As you can see, we’ve made signif-icant advances within our infra-structure of our public buildings tolead the way in reducing energyusage.

According to AWA events andbusiness relations managerMaria Clarke, the AWA placedmore than 2,600 adopted pets intheir forever homes in 2014, andthe only way the AWA can beatthat number this year is throughthe continued support of the pub-lic.

“We want to help more animalsthis year, and we need funds to dothat,” Clarke said. “We’re hopingpeople will come out on May 16,support AWA and raise money forhomeless pets.”

Clarke also said that this yearthere will be no registration fee toparticipate in the walk, but walk-ers must donate or fundraise aminimum of $40 to participateand receive an event t-shirt, dog-

gie bandana and goody bag.Those who can’t attend the

event but still want to help canalso donate or fundraise a mini-mum of $40 and receive the sameitems.

Those who register to partici-pate in the race or walk can do soas individuals or join as a team,with prizes to be awarded to theindividuals and teams who raisethe most money.

After the racers and walkershave finished getting their exer-cise, Clarke said the DoggieFun Day portion of the day be-gins.

According to Clarke, the daywill have activities for both peo-ple and their dogs, including petcontests, an agility course, petdemonstrations, live music, food,activities and games for the en-tire family.

Clarke said last year the eventhad more than 100 vendors, asuper fetch area, contests such asa tennis ball lottery, a canine can-non tennis ball launch, canine

candy land and even a placewhere the dogs could play musi-cal sit.

“We always have demonstra-tions as well,” Clarke said. “Lastyear we had the Jersey Disc Dev-ils and their canine athletes puton an amazing performance. Wehad police working dogs – demon-strations by local K9 units andalso search and rescue dogs.”

Clarke said there’s always somuch to do with Paws & Feet, andas the AWA works to secure allthe entertainment for the day, theorganization hopes the publicwill start fundraising so everyone

can come out and have a goodtime.“The fundraising is critical,”

Clarke said. “We really do need toraise the funds and there’s plentyof time to do it. If people startnow, they’ll reach and exceedtheir goal.”

The Camden County Freehold-er Board and the AddictionAwareness Task Force have creat-ed a website aimed at assistingthe public with the fight againstopiate addiction.

The website, www.addictions.camdencounty.com, helps to edu-cate residents on the resourcesavailable to prevent and treat ad-diction. Additionally, the site pro-vides a downloadable addictionprevention toolkit for communitypartners such as schools andcivic organizations to utilize intheir own prevention programs.

The task force is made up of students, parents, teachers,health-care providers, law en-forcement and civic leaders. Themission of the task force is to in-crease awareness among countyresidents of heroin and prescrip-tion drug abuse and the devastat-ing effects addiction has on our

community. In addition to raisingawareness, the initial goals of thetask force include supporting pro-grams that further reduce de-mand, including the expansion of prescription drop boxes, workingwith health-care providers to im-plement educational programs,and creating and advocating forincreased treatment options.

Earlier this year, the task forcehosted a community summit with

a turnout of more than 700 resi-dents, many of whom were des-perate to help their loved ones,but also residents who wanted toget involved in helping to addressthe problem in their community.At that event, the countylaunched an awareness campaignentitled: “HEROIN. PILLS. ITALL KILLS…what you thoughtwas miles away is right in yourbackyard.”

The campaign includes bill-boards, awareness events, onlineand print advertising.

Other initiatives the task forceis working on include the follow-ing: expansion of RX drop boxesand prescription take back pro-grams; community awarenessevents; partnering with educatorson the development of evidence-based prevention programs; thelaunching of a billboard cam-paign to educate loved ones of the

availability of the life-savingoverdose reversal drug Naloxone;advocacy of policies that increaseaccess to treatment; and develop-ment of treatment integrationinto Naloxone overdose reversalsat area emergency rooms.

If a member of the public or aloved one needs help, call the 24/7toll-free confidential hotline at(877) 266-8222 or call 911 in theevent of an emergency.

Your family may be caught in a situation that is all too common. They are neither wealthy enough to pay for Assisted Living nor

poor enough to qualify for Medicaid.Now there is a way to become income eligible with an income only Miller Trust.

A Miller Trust is an irrevocable trust that permits the resident to become Medicaideligible. All of the resident’s income would go into the trust. Funds from the Mil ler

Trust are used to pay for Assisted Living. Medicaid, if the resident is eligible inall other respects, will pay what the trust does not cover.

pened backstage, and it’s actuallya lot of work,” Schmidt said. “It’sfun, it’s something different.”

Frantz also described howworking with people her own agemakes the production a more col-laborative process, as the per-formers are more willing to makeand take suggestions.

“It’s nice to see that the actorscare enough to want to make achange, and the back and forthbetween us, we’re very open tosuggestions and usually we takethem,” she said.

Just one of the those perform-ers affected by an on-the-flychange in the script is 15-year-oldDanya Trommer of Cherry Hill,who plays Mrs. Tarragon, the pill-addicted wife of a senator.

Trommer was originally set tointeract with a particular charac-ter in one of the endings, but be-cause of another performer’s sug-gestion, that character she wouldhave interacted with will now bedead.

She said it can be a bit chaoticsometimes to practice like that,but it also adds to the fun of theexperience because, while therecan be a lack of focus, the groupalways pulls things together.

“It feels like we can definitelyget our ideas out there more be-cause we’re not intimidated byour directors and stuff because itfeels more like a group of friendsthan they are our supreme lead-ers,” Trommer said. “We do havefree rein more and we can defi-nitely suggest more things.”

Ryan Connelly, 17 of Voorhees,who has the role of ProfessorBeasly, said he thought it was“awesome” that a group of peopleentirely his age have the ability todo something of the show’s cal-iber, and agreed that feeling freeto give so much input to his cast-mates and directors definitelyadded to the experience.

“Most directors I work withdon’t particularly like that feed-back that we give them, so havingtwo great directors like Alexisand Emily, who really want you togive them your own kind of ad-vice, is wonderful,” he said.

Schmidt and Frantz said thecooperative attitude of their cast,like Connelly’s, is just one of thereasons why they think the showwill impress.

“I say come because it showshow the youth care about the or-ganization and how theater is stillalive,” Schmidt said.
