PARCC exams begin

Bond referendumconstruction continues

The Building Excellence Refer-endum was proposed earlier in2014. It had two questions wherethe first asked for the approval of work that includes $37.6 millionof improvements to aging infra-structures at schools for exteriorrenovations, interior renova-tions, HVAC upgrades, and elec-

trical/security and technologyupgrades. The second asked foran additional $5.2 million forpatching and paving of drivewaysand parking lots at the schools,cafeteria table replacements atGeorge C. Baker School, carpet-ing and flooring replacements atUES, theater improvements andathletic fields improvements.Under the ROD grant program,

the district received 37 percentaid reimbursement on Question1, but no aid on Question 2 proj-ects.

Since the approval, New RoadsConstruction and Garrison Ar-chitects have been working alongwith school district administra-tion to get these projects up andrunning. For the public’s benefit,Robert Notley of New Roads Con-struction had put together a cal-endar of construction, whichstarted in June.

By BRIGIT BAUMAThe Sun

Moorestown has a new member of town

council for 2016.Lisa Petriello was unanimously ap-proved as the newest member of councilduring the Dec. 23 special meeting. She willfill the unexpired term of Greg Newcomer,who resigned on Nov. 30 due to health rea-sons.

“I wanted to say thanks for this opportu-nity, for me to be able to continue to servethis community. I will work my hardest tohelp this council find good solutions, buildbridges and be a responsible steward of allthat is Moorestown,” Petriello said.

The Moorestown Democratic Committee

selected three names for submission tocouncil for consideration in filling the va-cancy. Those individuals were MichaelBabcock, Amy Leis and Petriello.

Each council member had the opportu-nity to speak to the three individuals either

over the phone or in person, to see whomthey felt was the best fit for the role.

Only one name was nominated and ap-proved upon that day, and it was Petriello.

“I had the chance to have a phone con-versation with all three, and they were re-ally great conversations, but I think therewas one person who, to me, showed an un-derstanding of all of the topics … I thinkLisa will be a very good addition to ourcouncil and serve Moorestown,” DeputyMayor Phil Garwood said.

Petriello’s approval was met with a largeround of applause, and after being tearful-ly sworn in with her husband and son ather side, council gave her a standing ova-tion and voiced their congratulations.

“You have big shoes to fill,” Council-

woman Stacey Jordan said to Petriello.“Greg had a big heart for Moorestown.”

“I felt you would be the best person to fillthose shoes. I know you’ll continue the tra-dition of putting Moorestown first,” MayorVictoria Napolitano said.

Petriello is the lone Democrat on thefive-member council. She will fulfill therest of Newcomer’s term, which expiresnext year.

Petriello has been a Moorestown resi-dent for 10 years. She is active in the com-munity in numerous volunteer roles, in-cluding the Sustainable Moorestown Advi-sory Committee and the MoorestownHome and School Association.

In a previous release, she said she will“advocate and work toward a sustainablemunicipal budget, increased transparency,and restoring our water infrastructure andquality.” She will “work collaborativelywith all stakeholders to ensureMoorestown’s prosperous and sustainablegrowth into the future.”

“We all want what is best forMoorestown,” Petriello said.

The next council meeting will beWednesday, Jan. 6 for its annual reorgani-zation meeting at town hall beginning at 7p.m.

Lisa Petriello fills Newcomer’s term on council

Most of us are lucky enough to

spend the holidays with our

loved ones. Most of us are

lucky enough to be able to give and re-

ceive presents, to put a home-cooked

meal on the table and to sit back, relax

and enjoy what’s important in life.

There are many, though, living righthere in our state who are not as lucky

as we are. And these are the people

who need our help the most.

So as we are about to put 2015 behind

us and enter a New Year, let’s all re-

solve to give back more in 2016.

We like to think of ourselves as giv-

ing people, but compared to the rest

of the country, that’s just not the

case.

A study released recently by the Cor-

poration for National and Community

Service and the National Conference

on Citizenship found that 22.5 percent

of New Jersey residents volunteered

their time in 2014.

That ranked us near the bottom,

45th, in the nation. Utah topped the list

at 46 percent.

The study found that 1.61 million

residents volunteered a total of more

than 225.5 million hours of service.

The stats counted only non-paid work

as volunteering.

These numbers did get better since

2013, even if New Jersey’s overall rank-

ing did not, as 1.45 million residents

volunteered a total of more than 206

million hours of service that year.

The good news is it doesn’t take

much to change this trend. Volunteer-

ing doesn’t have to take up all of one’s

free time, and it doesn’t have to include

big monetary donations.Volunteering can be as simple as

pitching in at a soup kitchen, coaching

a Little League team or collecting trash

at a public park. Doing a little can go a

long way. What may seem as not much

to most of us can have a huge impact

to someone else.

So while you’re compiling your list

of To Do’s for 2016, add giving back to

the community by volunteering. You’ll

be surprised at the impact you can

have.

in our opinion

Let’s resolve to give back in 2016For the Ne w Year, we could all give some of our time to lend a helping hand

Parents question district’sPARCC refusal policy

ment to replace the HSPA andprevious assessments in the ele-mentary and middle schools,based on the Common Core stan-dards. PARCC tests were split intoEnglish/language arts and mathsections and taken by students inthird to 11th grade. The assess-ment system was to determinewhether students were “on track”

for college or career readiness.For PARCC testing in 2014-2015,testing was eight to 10 days; test-ing occurred over two weeks inMarch and April/May; testingwas computerized; no model es-says or student test samples wereavailable to guide learners; andmultiple days of test preparationwere required for students tolearn how to navigate the Pear-son system.

At the January BOE meeting,parents came out questioning the

district’s policy for refusals. NewJersey has a no-opt-out policy forthe test, but students are able torefuse to take it. However, for stu-

dents who choose that option,what was left for students to do,

some parents feared, was nothingbut sit and stare.

Rehm said the board was notgoing with a “sit and stare” poli-cy, but did realize from feedbackof the forums about PARCC thatthe protocol needed to be updated.The board didn’t want to put stu-dents in an uncomfortable situa-tion and decided to put them in asupervised environment wherethey could do educational work orread on their own.

Not much was heard about theimplementation or results forPARCC until the December BOEmeeting. Butler and LanguageArts/English Supervisor SusanTosti gave the Moorestown Town-ship Public Schools Board of Ed-ucation a presentation on the dis-trict PARCC scores, covering stu-dent participation, district scorescompared to state scores, how thedata will be looked at and changesfor the next PARCC testing in2016.

Overall, MTPS performed ei-ther at or above the state scores.

BOE approves strategic plans

The presentation also revealedthat 30 percent of students whowere able to take the test refused,the highest being in the highschool with 67 percent or less of students in each grade level tak-ing the exams.

The district will use thePARCC data to identify strengthsand gaps that exist in curriculum

and instruction, inform the con-versations of educators when dis-cussing student progress and dis-cuss where additional profession-

al resources are needed to meetlearning needs.

Test changes for this academicyear include one testing window,90 minutes overall reductions totests and fewer test units. Testunits were also reduced to threeEnglish/language arts units andthree or four math units.

School district workson strategic plans

The BOE approved the broad-based strategic plans at its meet-ing on Sept. 15. The strategicplans were approved with an 8-1vote, with board member Palkobeing the one vote against as hefelt the goals were too generic andnot measurable.

The strategic plans stated thevision was to “enhance our aca-demic, emotional and social foun-

dations while creating a collabo-rative learning environmentwhich fosters global awarenessthrough personal opportunities

and individual growth.”There were three broad-based

goals to establish a culture of in-novation to facilitate authenticgrowth and development of en-gaged, dynamic and productivelearners; provide resources, tar-geted instruction and interven-tions tailored to learners’ founda-tional needs at all grade levels;and design opportunities thatpromote self-awareness, confi-dence, personal responsibility

and social mindfulness to providethe foundation for competentlocal and global citizenship.

The broad-based goals are to beused as a guiding point. The spe-cific actions would be createdfrom each of those goals in small-er committees.

From theses goals, committeeswere made for each goal. Time-

General township happenings• The decision on using the sur-

plus money from liquor licensesales for tax relief was unani-mously approved by council onJan. 30, with the exception of Councilman Phil Garwood, whowas absent.

The next month, councilpassed two resolutions after

pulling them from the consentagenda to hold public hearings.Both resolutions were for thetransfer of liquor licenses for

Moorestown Beverage to HarvestMoorestown and MoorestownBeverage to Yard House USA.

• Representatives from Com-mercial Utility Consultants camebefore council to present an ener-gy aggregation proposal. Havingbeen to other townships through-out Burlington County, theytalked about the advantages of abigger group buy-in that wouldbenefit the county as a whole.

According to the CUC repre-sentatives, residents should see aminimum of a 5 percent savings.Other counties have seen savingsfrom 5 percent to 13 percent.

PSE&G provides Moorestownresidents with power as supplierand delivery agent. Under theproposal, a third-party supplierwould provide the energy to com-mercial, business and residentialbuyers, and PSE&G would still

act as the supplier.Residents who are with PSE&G

would automatically be enrolledin the program. They have 30

days to opt out of the plan, butresidents can opt in or opt out atno charge at any time, dependingon their meter reading cycle, ac-cording to the CUC representa-tives.

Residents who currently have athird-party supplier would not beconsidered as part of the pro-gram, but they can opt-in at anypoint once their current contractexpires.

Council unanimously ap-proved entering the aggregationprogram at the next meeting.

• The county has created a pro-gram called Shop BurlingtonCounty First, which encouragesbusinesses and residents to shoplocal. Council was given a presen-tation on the program at theMarch 9 meeting by Dave Wyche,

Budget passes with tax increase

a shared-services coordinator forthe Burlington County Office of Economic Development and Re-gional Planning under theBurlington County Bridge Com-mission. He urged residents, busi-nesses and officials to make apledge to shop local and give thebuy-local program a try.

For a business to be acceptedinto the program, the only finan-cial requirement is for it to be apart of the local business associa-tion. The Moorestown BusinessAssociation has already acceptedthe program, so members are en-couraged to join. They just need

to go to the website at shop-burlingtoncounty.com and signup as a member. When a businesssigns up, it is automatically put

into the directory on the ShopBurlington County First website.

Members of council thought itwas a great idea and said theywould encourage local businessesto sign up.

• The township launched itsnew website in May. The websiteis meant to be more aestheticallypleasing, user-friendly and easierto navigate.

• Council passed the 2015 mu-nicipal budget on second readingin a 3-1 vote on May 18. With the2015 budget, residents saw a 2 per-cent tax rate increase.

The total multipurpose tax is$0.412 cents, which is a total in-

crease of eight-tenths of a cent.That represents a $36 annual in-crease for the average assessedhome. The 2 percent increase was

made up of a 1 percent increasefor the library budget, which is astate requirement, and a 1 per-cent increase of the municipalbudget.

The library budget is deter-mined by the township’s evalua-tion. Because the town has itsown library, and the evaluation of the town has gone up, they are re-quired by law to have the 1 per-cent increase.

The township used $2.03 mil-lion in surplus this year, which is$85,000 less than last year, leaving$5 million remaining in surplus.

No staff or services were cutfrom the budget.

• Last year, a concern about theMoorestown Library motto wasbrought up when a citizen re-vealed to council that Googletranslate said the words “Nos Se-cundus Coniecto Omnia” meant,“we second guess all.” The mottowas meant to say “We confirm allthings twice.”

Due to the ambiguity of thephrase, the township decided tochange it and held a contest forstudents in Moorestown schoolsto come up with a new motto forthe library.

Out of all of the entries, thephrase “Scientia Incipit Hic” waschosen, which means “Knowl-edge Begins Here.” That will bethe new Latin motto on theMoorestown Library, thanks to awinning contest entry from aMoorestown Friends School fifthgrader Lauren Articolo.

• In the winter of 2014, Town-ship Manager Scott Carew andNapolitano expressed their desireto create a committee that wouldwork to make Lenola a businessdistrict.

In 2015, Lenola Center DistrictAd-Hoc Committee memberswere chosen and announced to beCarew, Napolitano, CouncilmanManny Delgado, Lenola AdvisoryCommittee Chairwoman Jamie

Boren, Director of CommunityDevelopment Tom Ford and com-munity member David Hess.

Councilman Newcomer resigns

April at the age of 62 due to heartfailure. Lt. Lee Lieber is servingas the acting police director sincehis passing.

In November, council approvedan ordinance that would replacethe position of police directorwith a police chief. For the posi-tion of police chief, according tothe ordinance, the chief wouldhave full charge and control of the apparatus and equipment of the department and its assign-ment and use, and would be heldresponsible for its care, cleanli-

ness and safekeeping, and rendera strict account thereof whencalled for by the township manag-

er.A police chief would also be

able to go out on the streets andmeet with the public, being a rep-resentative of the department toresidents.

Moorestown also approved anordinance that would set the po-lice chief’s salary between$110,000 and $165,000. The longevi-ty cap is set at $8,580.

There is a civil service processthe township must go through todetermine the permanent chief.The process to appoint the policechief will take place in 2016.

Council members appointedmake history, Newcomer resigns

At the council’s reorganizationmeeting on Tuesday, Jan. 6,Napolitano, at the age of 26, be-came the youngest Moorestownmayor, and perhaps the youngestfemale New Jersey mayor ever,while newly-elected CouncilmanDelgado became the council’sfirst member of Hispanic de-scent.

Also on that night Garwoodwas selected as deputy mayor andStacey Jordan was reappointed tothe council joining lone DemocratNewcomer. All council membersvoted “yes” for Napolitano to bemayor and Garwood to be deputymayor, except Newcomer who ab-stained to both.

At the council meeting on Nov.30, Newcomer announced his res-ignation, “effective immediately,”much to the shock of council andthe public.

Newcomer made the an-nouncement early in the meeting,citing his health and wanting to

spend more time with his familyfor reasons for leaving. Newcom-er received a kidney transplantearlier this year.

Newcomer was honored with aproclamation at the Decembercouncil meeting for all of hishard work and dedication to thetownship.

Council planned a specialmeeting for the appointment of Newcomer’s replacement for therest of his term on Dec. 23. TheMoorestown Democratic Com-

mittee submitted three names forcouncil’s consideration. Theywere Michael Babcock, Amy Leisand Lisa Petriello.

At the meeting, Petriello wasunanimously decided upon andsworn in to finish Newcomer’sterm on council.

October 2014. That is until anApril council meeting where aresident came asked if the wellswould be turned on anytime soon.

Members of council assuredhim the wells are remainingclosed as it decides what the ap-propriate treatment would be.Township Attorney AnthonyDrollas said they’ve been working

on the wells and they closed themnot because they were told to, butas a precaution.

At a meeting in May, council

unanimously approved an ordi-nance for the appropriation of $250,000 and issuance of $237,500in bonds or notes for preliminaryengineering and feasibility studyexpenses for improvements to thewater treatment plants. Thisstudy will be conducted on thethree water treatment plants inthe township, the North ChurchStreet, Kings Highway and Hart-

ford Road plants. The township isstudying how water that containslevels of Trichloropropane (TCP1,2,3) should be remediated and

how to update the plants so theycould all be up and running by2020.

At a special council meeting onJune 16, township administratorScott Carew announced Well 7tested as a non-detect for TCP1,2,3 and would be turned back onthe next day and tested on amonthly basis. Well 9 still testedpositive for the TCP 1,2,3 andwould be put on a pilot programfor possibly the next two years.

According to township utilitiesengineer L. Russell Trice, seniorassociate at Alaimo Group, Con-sulting Engineers, the pilot planfor Well 9 – which runs 30 feetdeeper into the ground than Well7 – would be done on a small scalein a trailer with the most likelytreatment being carbon absorp-tion. Samples during this testingwill be done on a weekly basis forfour weeks. After that, it will takeanother four weeks to get the re-sults and another few weeks to fi-

nalize the report for the townshipto review. From there they will gointo design, which could takeabout a year.

In total, the process shouldtake roughly two years, accordingto Trice, but the results of thetreatment would be immediate.

At the same time, the township

BACK ON MARKET! Tremendous opportunity for single s tory living in this spacious L-shaped ranch in a gated community. *This is NOT an age restricted community. Nearly 2,200 square

feet and only two of its kind! This lovely home boasts a private courtyard entrance, with a waterfall, a pond and an over-sized two car detached garage. There are hardwood floors in the

great room as well as a b eautiful gas fireplace complete with custom tile. The large eat-in kitchen offers upgraded cabinetry, recessed lighting, custom backsplash, upgraded tile flooring

and a sliding glass door to the courtyard. The formal dining room has chair-rail and h ardwood flooring. The half bath has an upgraded Kohler Pheasant sink and toilet. The master suite

to preserve the furniture and the flooring. Other features of this home include a central vac system, a security system and a recently replaced water heater.

Unregulated compound found in water

is interested in the removal of other substances found in thewells, which include trichloroeth-ylene (TCE), manganese andother radiological contaminants.According to Trice, manganese isregulated for aesthetic reasons,and the TCE and radiological ele-ments are not above the maxi-mum contaminate level. However,the township wanted to havethese treated so Moorestownwould have clean water pumpedto houses.

At that point, with the wells off,the township had paid $400,000more last year from New JerseyAmerican Water and $1.2 millionso far this year, according toCarew. But, with Well 7 beingturned back on, Carew believesthe township would be able to re-capture some of the cost later inthe year by turning off NJ Ameri-

can Water and exclusively usingWell 7.

According to Carew, in 2020,the township’s contract withNJAW would be up and it would

like to have more efficient operat-ing water treatment plants so itcan reduce the need for a contractwith NJAW.

In August, council also ap-proved the ordinance about theKings Highway Water TreatmentPlant. The plant was one of threethe township was studying in re-sponse to concerns about the dis-covery of high levels of the un-regulated compound Trichloro-propane (TCP 1,2,3) in the water.

The ordinance called for the ap-

propriation of $710,000 and theborrowing of $675,600 to be usedfor preliminary engineer and de-sign expenses. According toCarew, the township has putmoney for this ordinance in thisyear’s budget.

The Kings Highway WaterTreatment Plant is not the princi-pal water treatment plant, howev-

er it is used as a secondary watersource to pump during the sum-mer months when demand ishigh. The township plans to up-date all of its plants so it will

eventually save money in the longrun. NJAW charges $3 to every $1the township charges for water,Carew said.

In August, a Water ConsultantReport determined the risk of using the wells while treatmentwas put into place. The resultscame back with the potential fornon-cancer risks being low andall estimated cancer risks belowthe EPA target.

The report is an expert evalua-tion of the health risk levels of

using wells 7 and 9 within thecontext of the TCP 1,2,3.

Just after the report was madepublic, a reading of 0.07 parts perbillion of TCP 1,2,3 was found inwell 7. Upon conferring with theNJDEP, the township decided itwould keep the well on and will

continue to monitor it monthly.In November, an ordinance to

replace various water mains wasapproved, calling for the appro-priation of $1.65 million and theissuance of $1.57 million in bondsor notes. The replacement of thewater mains include those alongNorth Church Street from MainStreet to Central Avenue;Prospect Avenue from SouthChurch Street to High Street; andSecond Street from Locust Street

to Camden Avenue.Moorestown Utility Superin-

tendent Bill Butler gave a presen-tation on the utilities departmentin the township, saying therehave been 43 water main breaks

in Moorestown, which is veryhigh, as Moorestown will usuallysee about 15 breaks per year.

“The reason (for the breaks) isthe water from New Jersey Amer-ican Water, the water density isheavier than our water… they getthe water from Delaware River …the density of the water is heav-ier,” Butler said.

The water main repairs fall inline with planned upgrades at thetownship’s water treatmentplants. It is looking to improve

the treatment plants on KingsHighway and Hartford Road and

have everything running by 2020.Residents asked why the town-

ship hasn’t been maintaining thewater infrastructure in town. If it

had taken care of things in thefirst place, then it might not bewhere it is today, the residentssaid.

Carew said he, along with thecurrent council, couldn’t beblamed for the problem. However,he acknowledged that in the past,Moorestown has missed opportu-nities to invest in water infra-structure. This council is nowtaking the initiative and workingto fix the issue now.

The pilot on well 9 was recently

completed and in the New Yearcouncil will continue to work onthe water infrastructure rehabili-tation as well as getting bids forthe treatment of wells 7 and 9.

Old library demolitionwill happen in 2016

In early fall, Moorestown The-ater Company’s Producing Artis-tic Director Mark Morgan spoketo council about the possibility of

using the old library location as aperforming arts center. Morgansaid that MTC would raise thefunds for the building and have itbe a township building on town-ship land, with MTC renting it.MTC proposed having its per-formance dates chosen first,about 16 to 20 weekends per year,and the rest open to other per-formances from other organiza-tions, individuals and the town-ship itself.

He suggested if this was a pos-

sibility to create a committee towork on the project. Members of the public were in support of aperforming arts center, but felt itshould be open to all kinds of vi-sual performing arts and not haveMTC have control of the building.No decision was made, but coun-cil members expressed theirthanks.

Just a few weeks later, councilunanimously approved awardinga contract for the demolition of the old library at the Oct. 19 meet-ing. The contract was awarded toMeco Demolition Inc. in theamount of $421,133.77. The demo-
