Working toward a checkmate

By SEAN LAJOIEThe Sun

The Medford Township pro-posed purchase of the Park ViewCemetery is nearing a final deci-sion.

Two final meetings were heldover the past week to present allthe information to the public andto get its reaction on the matter.After concluding the meetings,the Medford Township Council isnow in the process of sortingthrough residents’ feedback.

“We (the council) think we’veshown over the years that we lis-ten to what the residents say, butultimately this is our decision,”Deputy Mayor Jeff Beenstocksaid.

Beenstock and Mayor Chuck

Watson have taken the lead onthis project and felt they weredoing the public a justice by put-ting together this presentationand fielding public comments.

The town is looking to generatea new, recurring source of rev-enue.

“Each year, the township mustsupplement the funds raised bytaxes with other sources of rev-enue to balance the budget,”

Beenstock said.The total projected revenue in

2015 is $20.16 million. The project-ed amount to be raised by taxes is$12.22 million, leaving a differ-ence of $7.94 million. There arevirtually no guaranteed sourcesof recurring revenue, accordingto Beenstock, so the goal of thecemetery purchase is to reducedependence on one-time rev-enues.

Beenstock said the MedfordCemetery Association ap-proached the township about pur-chasing the cemetery more than ayear ago. The association is anon-profit organization formed in2008 to manage the old OddFel-lows Cemetery in Medford Vil-lage. The organization opened thePark View Cemetery at Kirby’s

Mill in 2013.“When I first looked into this, I

thought this would never happen,but the more I looked into it, thestronger I felt,” Beenstock said.

The Park View Cemetery con-sists of two locations, one in his-toric Medford Village and theother in the Kirby’s Mill location.The original purchase price will

be $10.88 million and the targetedclosing date to purchase thecemetery is Dec. 30.

The approximate breakdown of the purchase price is as follows:$5 million to pay holders of cer-tificates of indebtedness, $160,000for accrued interest to certificateholders, $1.55 million to repay un-secured notes to the currentowner Earl Stahl, $1.02 million to

repay unsecured notes to othercertificate holders, $370,830 torepay secured note, and $2.78 mil-lion to partially reimburse con-struction costs.

The cemetery is expected to beoperated by a cemetery manage-ment company and is also expect-ed to be completely self-sufficient.

The anticipated revenuestream is more than $80 million

over 50 years, after payment of allexpenses, maintenance, debtservice and trust fund contribu-tions. The projections were basedon actual revenue reported byother New Jersey cemeteries ontheir tax returns that were ap-proved by the State CemeteryBoard in March 2010.

Beenstock referred to this as aunique investment opportunityseveral times throughout hispresentation. One reason he quot-ed is cemeteries are tax-exempt.

Another reason is the actual in-come of the cemetery exceededthe projected income by 50 per-

cent in 2014. It also has increased80 percent thus far in 2015through February.

A common concern of manyresidents is why the currentowner would be trying to sell if this was such a great source of revenue. Stahl, the current ownerof the Park View Cemetery, saidhe wants to sell because he has asubstantial amount of debt. This

would give him the opportunityto make a return on his invest-ment, and he is content with theoffer after “working his tail off his whole life.”

“The cemetery provides morepotential for a town to own be-cause it will deliver revenue overa long-term period, whereas Earlwould be about 80 years old beforehe started to reap the benefits of his hard work,” Beenstock said.

A number of residents alsowanted to know the religious af-filiation of the cemetery. Councilassured them it was non denomi-national.

A closing suggestion proposedby some residents that has al-ready been recommended byStahl is the idea of a veteran’scemetery.

After Saturday’s final meetingwith the public, council nowlooks to tie up loose ends andmake a final decision to meet thetargeted closing date of Dec. 30 if approved.

k, so the survey in question –

“the Best and Worst States to

Retire,” compiled by

Bankrate.com – didn’t exactly find

that you’d be out of your mind to re-

tire in New Jersey, but it did rank the

Garden State near the bottom of the

list of desirable places to spend the lat-ter portion of your life.

This should not be a shock.

The survey ranks New Jersey 45th

on the list of best places to retire,

based on the fact that the cost of living

is high (45th), the community well

being is low (43rd) and the tax rate is

very high (49th). These factors out-

weight the low crime rate (eighth) andthe above-average weather and health-

care quality.

There’s a reason why so many New

Jerseyans retire elsewhere – it’s

cheaper. And cheaper is better, be-

cause most people would rather see

their hard-earned money go toward

vacations than taxes, for example.

Many retirees go to Florida not just for

the weather but for the absence of a

state income tax.

Maybe if New Jersey was more af-

fordable, more elderly residents would

stay at home, near their friends and

family. But since it’s not, many don’t.

We are probably not the only oneswho laughed when we pondered where

in New Jersey – other than, say, a

beach town such as Ocean City –

would be a “good” place to retire. And

that’s a shame, and a problem all at the

same time.

Our residents shouldn’t have to pre-

pare to leave when they retire.

On March 11, the Burlington CountyBoard of Chosen Freeholders approved anEmergency Countywide Pothole Mitiga-tion Plan.

“Winter storms and frigid temperatureshave turned many local and county roads

into pothole minefields,” said FreeholderDirector Mary Ann O’Brien. “Our roadcrews have been hard at work combattingthese storms and keeping up with repairs.Tonight we are taking steps to beef upthese efforts, and we are asking our townsto join with us in addressing this impor-tant public safety issue.”

To this end, the board approved a sharedservices program to offer free asphalt“patch” to municipalities to assist with the

filling of potholes on county roads.To address more extensive roadway

damage, the freeholders have awarded acontract for emergency asphalt pavingservices to R.D. Zeuli, Inc. This will allowfor the timely milling and paving of areas

in which the damage is significant and ex-tends beyond the opportunity for patching.Under a shared service agreement, this re-pair contract will be available to Burling-ton County College, Burlington County In-stitute of Technology and BurlingtonCounty Special Services School District,along with any municipality.

Municipalities interested in participat-ing in this program can contact the coun-ty’s Division of Roads and Bridges at (609)

726-7303. A Burlington County Pothole Hot-line has also been established to allow resi-dents to report areas of road damage. Thishotline can be reach at (609) 265-5021. Resi-dents can also report potholes and roaddamage to the county on Facebook at

BurlingtonCountyNJ or on Twitter to@BurlCoNJ.“We are certain that this ‘all hands on

deck’ approach in collaboration with ourmunicipalities and residents is the most ef-fective way to quickly restore our roads tothe condition that our traveling public de-serves,” O’Brien said.

Burlington County maintains 508 milesof roads, equaling more than 1,000 lanemiles.

Woodford Cedar Run WildlifeRefuge’s newest education ambas-sador, Olive the opossum, arrivedto Cedar Run in December from a

rehabilitation center in LocustValley, N.Y. Born into a litter of

10, Olive was deemed unre-leasable due to her small size. Asa friendly and calm opossum,Cedar Run’s education team is

now preparing Olive to become afeatured wildlife ambassador inits various on- and off-site educa-tion programs.

Mika the raccoon is also beinggroomed as a wildlife ambassa-dor. Mika is Native American for"wise or knowing raccoon,” andarrived to Cedar Run in January.He had been found lingering

around a warehouse in centralJersey for about a week in mid-November. After a month of reha-bilitation, the staff at Mercer

County Wildlife deemed Mika un-releasable due to habituated de-meanor.

“We’ve been assessing bothOlive’s and Mika’s personalitiesthese past couple months,” saidCedar Run Rehabilitation Hospi-tal Manager Lori Swanson. “Theyare both very curious and we lookforward to working with them to

help teach children and adultsabout these often misunderstoodanimals.”

According to Cedar Run’s edu-

cation and rehab hospital teams,friendly opossums and raccoonsare not fit for life in the wild. Notonly is it illegal to take a wild ani-mal in as a pet, as per state Divi-sion of Fish and Wildlife regula-tions, but more often than not, ha-bituated animals are unable toforage for food on their own, andmany times are mistaken for a

rabid animal. Wild animalsraised by humans also attempt tobe around people to source foodand shelter, which poses in an in-

creased risk for vehicle collisions.Olive is being housed indoors
