Lieutenant attends
FBI National Academy
Wrapping up the holidays
Medford Town Council congratulates
Lt. Arthur Waterman on his recent
graduation from the prestigious academy
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
Medford Town Council started
last week’s meeting with a special
presentation.
A proclamation honoring Lt.
Arthur Waterman was read by
Mayor Charles Watson to recognize his graduation from the prestigious FBI National Academy’s
262nd session.
Council also expressed gratitude for the professionalism and
enthusiasm he brings to the township.
Waterman has been a member
of Medford’s police department
since 1998 and has commanded
many units.
While serving on the force for
17 years, he has gradually worked
his way up through the ranks to
become a lieutenant.
“His years of faithful and dedicated service have earned him
the respect of friends and colleagues,” Watson said.
The national academy Waterman attended takes place in
Quantico, Va., over a 10-week
span. There’s a long waiting list
chock full of applicants who must
first be accepted and appointed by
the state FBI director in Newark
to attend.
Waterman waited more than
three-and-a-half years to be accepted.
During the course of his residential training in Quantico, he
studied leadership, management,
modern police techniques and issues, as well as health and physical fitness.
Medford Chief of Police
Richard Meder was also in attendance at last week’s council meeting to share a few words about his
coworker. Meder was proud to announce that Waterman took full
advantage of his opportunity
after patiently waiting for years.
He graduated with straight A’s on
Friday, Dec. 11.
Less than 1 percent of all law
enforcement worldwide are invited to take part in this training.
Waterman is the sixth member in
the department’s history to graduate from the FBI’s National
Academy.
“This is a really prestigious
honor,” Meder said. “He did an

THE MEDFORD SUN — DEC. 23–29, 2015
in our opinion
DD program should expand
Towns, counties, maybe even state should look at Evesham, Voorhees initiative
ince September, Evesham Township has been helping to save
lives – quite literally, in its
words. That month, the township
launched a pilot program funded entirely through private donations from
businesses, groups and even citizens
that provided residents of the town
with a free ride home from a townshipbased bar or restaurant if they had too
much to drink.
The program, called Evesham Saving Lives, partnered with popular DD
services such as Uber and BeMyDD to
keep potential drunk drivers off the
streets.
The program worked well in the initial pilot stage, and so, it was expanded
another month. And then another. And
another. In the program’s first 100
days, officials said 800 residents used
the service. Only two of the Evesham
residents arrested for DWI during that
time came from any of the 19 locations
in town where the program is avail-

program? Share your thoughts on this,

able. Before the program started, nearly 60 percent of those arrested for DWI
in Evesham were residents of the
town. During the program, that number dropped all the way to 5 percent.
Last week, Voorhees Township, Evesham’s next-door neighbor but across
county lines, partnered with Evesham
to jump on board the program. Now,
residents of either township can get a
free ride home from any establishment
in either town to keep them from making the dumb decision of getting behind the wheel while they are impaired.
This new partnership is set to run
through Jan. 15, with donations funding it through that time. Evesham
Mayor Randy Brown, a Republican,
has said he’ll make sure it continues in
his town indefinitely, and Voorhees
Mayor Michael Mignogna, a Democrat,
is happy to offer the program as well.
The Saving Lives program is a wonderful example of bipartisan politics:
A Republican-controlled town government in one county partners with a Democrat-controlled town government in
the next county over to do what government is intended to do – help keep
its constituents safe.
This is a highly commendable program – one that works, both in theory
and in practice. The two town governments should be thanked, but so, too,
should the generous unnamed businesses, groups and residents who have
provided the donations to run it.
Now, the next step should be expansion again – maybe with the help of
more towns, counties or even the state,
who could provide funding so private
donations weren’t needed.
Let’s make this happen.
LRHSD reveals PARCC results at meeting
Lenape Regional High School District will also be sending students’ scores home
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
The 2014-2015 school year marked the
maiden voyage of the new standardized
test the Lenape Regional High School District will be using instead of the High
School Proficiency Assessment – the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for
College and Career test.
The state Department of Education
adopted PARCC assessments for students
in grades three through 11.
Statewide, high school students in
grades nine through 11 took English language arts assessments and mathematics
assessments in algebra I, geometry and algebra II.
Students at all four LRHSD schools took
the PARCC assessments. The tests were administered in March and May.
Superintendent Carol Birnbohm said
the district's staff provided quiet, gentle
encouragement for all students to take the
test. However, the district did not single out
students for refusing the test, as it will not
be a graduation requirement for students
in high school until 2019.
A large initial concern of parents in the
district had to do with what would happen
to these kids who decided against taking
the test.
A group of parents attended a board
meeting after the PARCC testing was implemented to encourage the district to pass
a policy for students choosing to opt out of
the PARCC test, so the students would not
have to “sit and stare.”
Their message was heard and the district did not enforce a “sit and stare” policy.

“With the holiday season upon
us, we are looking to do all that
we can to help more of the great
pets waiting in our shelter find
loving homes,” said Garganio.
“Home for the Holidays is an easy
way for residents to get into the
holiday spirit by giving a
new pet the home that they deserve.”
With the shelter nearing capac-
ity, staff and volunteers are working harder than ever to find
homes for the animals.
“The staff and friends group of
the county animal shelter play a
key role in making this effort a
success,” Garganio added. “They
do a spectacular job caring for
our sheltered animals and are as
eager as I am to see them go home
with a loving family.”
The county animal shelter is
located on Academy Drive off of

While the results of the PARCC
testing were revealed to the public at last week’s LRHSD Board of

on how participation rates could

However, the Department of

said. “This comparison, of
LRHSD scores to scores of only
high school students in New Jersey, revealed the LRHSD met or
exceeded the New Jersey average
percent of students scoring Level
4 or better for both algebra I and
geometry.”
PARCC establishes a specific
emphasis on measuring college
and career readiness.
Due to the drastic difference
and increased difficulty in
PARCC testing, the board is encouraging folks to avoid comparing these results with the HSPA
and past standardized tests.
“PARCC is a whole new ball
game, a clean slate in terms of assessment,” Smith said. “There is
no comparison to the HSPA and,
tempting as it may be, parents
and students should not make
comparisons to past standardized
test results. PARCC is a more rigorous test than the HSPA and is
more closely aligned with the
SATs and other college entrance
exams.”
Birnbohm said Common Core
and PARCC’s increased difficulty
is not different from changes the
state has made in standardized
testing in the past.

DEC. 23–29, 2015 – THE MEDFORD SUN 11
County sheriff opposes license legislation
Burlington County Sheriff
Jean Stanfield recently urged the
Board of Chosen Freeholders to
pass a resolution opposing pending legislation known as the
“New Jersey Safe and Responsible Driver Act.”
If passed, this legislation
would allow individuals who are
not in the United States legally to
obtain New Jersey driver’s licenses.
In a letter addressed to Freeholder Director Mary Ann
O’Brien, Stanfield outlined the
potential public safety concerns
evident in this legislation.
Part of that letter is below:
“As Sheriff, I have real concerns that this legislation, titled
by its sponsors as the ‘New Jersey
Safe and Responsible Driver Act’,
is neither safe nor responsible. A
Chief: We’re
real proud
of Waterman
driver’s license is the single most
important piece of homeland security identification. In this environment providing driver’s licenses to undocumented individuals is not only irresponsible, it is
dangerous.
“Anyone with a New Jersey
Driver’s License is familiar with
the
rigorous
identification
process all legal residents are
subject to, requiring six-points of
documentation. Allowing individuals who are here illegally to obtain driver’s licenses without
identifying documentation creates a reckless double standard.
The reality is that providing such
driver’s licenses would make it
easier for individuals to violate
the law as a license can be used to
board a plane, buy a gun, open a
bank account, falsify an identity,
or in any number of other important activities.
“Finally this proposed legislation presents significant public
safety concerns at a time when
law enforcement is stepping up
its efforts to ensure the safety of
our residents and expand our
emergency readiness capabilities.
These concerns are particularly
critical given the existence of the
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and important defense industry organizations like Lockheed Martin within Burlington
County.”
The Burlington County Board
of Chosen Freeholders, at their
public meeting of Wednesday
Dec. 9, approved a resolution urging the New Jersey state legislature and governor Christie to reject this proposed legislation.

CHIEF

outstanding job, and we’re real
proud of him.”
“On behalf of council, we’re
very proud of you as well. Thank
you for putting all of the great effort in,” Watson said.
Council concluded the special
presentation segment of the meeting with a few more recognitions.
Every year, Medford holds a
local government institute at
which residents take classes that
preview every section of the
township from the police department to the administration and
even the sewer department, Watson said.
“It’s a really great way for people to learn about our town and
our government and how the
whole operation works,” Watson
said.
This year, seven people went
through the class, all of whom
were given certificates from council for completing the course.

of which served as a teaching
model for both LUCY Club members and LUCY Camden youth on
how to manage a business, providing them with valuable work
experience. This was the first
fundraiser where Camden youth
from LUCY met and worked
alongside LUCY Club members
from Shawnee.
The LUCY Club was started
earlier this year by Cody Rommeihs, a junior at Shawnee High
School who first got involved with
LUCY while fundraising through
the organization’s online wish
list. Rommeihs started the LUCY
club at Shawnee to raise money to
support one of the wish list items.
What started as a small club to
support LUCY, has grown to a
club of more than 120 Shawnee
students.
“This fundraiser was a great

“It provided Camden youth with
a way to gain work experience
while also benefiting our program. Working alongside the
LUCY Club members from
Shawnee allowed them to build
relationships with other youth
their age, as they worked toward
a common goal together.”
Event proceeds will benefit
LUCY, one of six ministries of St.
Joseph’s Pro-Cathedral supported
by The Joseph Fund that provides
a safe place for Camden’s youth to
gain valuable life skills, increase
confidence and receive academic
instruction and spiritual and social support.

“We have a history of increasing rigor in our standards,” she
said.
Birnbohm described PARCC as
an opportunity for students to
perfect their skills. She noted
other tests such as the SAT are
being aligned to Common Core
State Standards in 2016 and will
feature questions similar to
PARCC.
“This is another chance for
them to practice and show their
proficiency,” Birnbohm said.
LRHSD is now actively engaged in reviewing and analyzing

preparing for the 2016 and future
PARCC assessments, with an emphasis on student success.
“Our data team is working
with the administrative teams in
each of the schools to ensure they
understand and communicate
about PARCC in general and put
the results in context,” Birnbohm
said. “Teachers will be able to utilize our new common planning
time, built into the new four day
rotating schedule, to analyze
PARCC data, our curriculum and
our pacing guides.
“We understand this is a new
assessment and there will be
growth over time, but most importantly, we understand the
PARCC is only one measure of a
student’s success. We rely on
many indicators (teacher input,
class grades, PSAT, AP, etc.) to
help shape a student’s program in
order to support all of our students in reaching their goal of either two graduations (high school
and then college) or a career.”

Lieutenant attends
FBI National Academy
Wrapping up the holidays
Medford Town Council congratulates
Lt. Arthur Waterman on his recent
graduation from the prestigious academy
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
Medford Town Council started
last week’s meeting with a special
presentation.
A proclamation honoring Lt.
Arthur Waterman was read by
Mayor Charles Watson to recognize his graduation from the prestigious FBI National Academy’s
262nd session.
Council also expressed gratitude for the professionalism and
enthusiasm he brings to the township.
Waterman has been a member
of Medford’s police department
since 1998 and has commanded
many units.
While serving on the force for
17 years, he has gradually worked
his way up through the ranks to
become a lieutenant.
“His years of faithful and dedicated service have earned him
the respect of friends and colleagues,” Watson said.
The national academy Waterman attended takes place in
Quantico, Va., over a 10-week
span. There’s a long waiting list
chock full of applicants who must
first be accepted and appointed by
the state FBI director in Newark
to attend.
Waterman waited more than
three-and-a-half years to be accepted.
During the course of his residential training in Quantico, he
studied leadership, management,
modern police techniques and issues, as well as health and physical fitness.
Medford Chief of Police
Richard Meder was also in attendance at last week’s council meeting to share a few words about his
coworker. Meder was proud to announce that Waterman took full
advantage of his opportunity
after patiently waiting for years.
He graduated with straight A’s on
Friday, Dec. 11.
Less than 1 percent of all law
enforcement worldwide are invited to take part in this training.
Waterman is the sixth member in
the department’s history to graduate from the FBI’s National
Academy.
“This is a really prestigious
honor,” Meder said. “He did an

THE MEDFORD SUN — DEC. 23–29, 2015
in our opinion
DD program should expand
Towns, counties, maybe even state should look at Evesham, Voorhees initiative
ince September, Evesham Township has been helping to save
lives – quite literally, in its
words. That month, the township
launched a pilot program funded entirely through private donations from
businesses, groups and even citizens
that provided residents of the town
with a free ride home from a townshipbased bar or restaurant if they had too
much to drink.
The program, called Evesham Saving Lives, partnered with popular DD
services such as Uber and BeMyDD to
keep potential drunk drivers off the
streets.
The program worked well in the initial pilot stage, and so, it was expanded
another month. And then another. And
another. In the program’s first 100
days, officials said 800 residents used
the service. Only two of the Evesham
residents arrested for DWI during that
time came from any of the 19 locations
in town where the program is avail-

able. Before the program started, nearly 60 percent of those arrested for DWI
in Evesham were residents of the
town. During the program, that number dropped all the way to 5 percent.
Last week, Voorhees Township, Evesham’s next-door neighbor but across
county lines, partnered with Evesham
to jump on board the program. Now,
residents of either township can get a
free ride home from any establishment
in either town to keep them from making the dumb decision of getting behind the wheel while they are impaired.
This new partnership is set to run
through Jan. 15, with donations funding it through that time. Evesham
Mayor Randy Brown, a Republican,
has said he’ll make sure it continues in
his town indefinitely, and Voorhees
Mayor Michael Mignogna, a Democrat,
is happy to offer the program as well.
The Saving Lives program is a wonderful example of bipartisan politics:
A Republican-controlled town government in one county partners with a Democrat-controlled town government in
the next county over to do what government is intended to do – help keep
its constituents safe.
This is a highly commendable program – one that works, both in theory
and in practice. The two town governments should be thanked, but so, too,
should the generous unnamed businesses, groups and residents who have
provided the donations to run it.
Now, the next step should be expansion again – maybe with the help of
more towns, counties or even the state,
who could provide funding so private
donations weren’t needed.
Let’s make this happen.
LRHSD reveals PARCC results at meeting
Lenape Regional High School District will also be sending students’ scores home
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
The 2014-2015 school year marked the
maiden voyage of the new standardized
test the Lenape Regional High School District will be using instead of the High
School Proficiency Assessment – the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for
College and Career test.
The state Department of Education
adopted PARCC assessments for students
in grades three through 11.
Statewide, high school students in
grades nine through 11 took English language arts assessments and mathematics
assessments in algebra I, geometry and algebra II.
Students at all four LRHSD schools took
the PARCC assessments. The tests were administered in March and May.
Superintendent Carol Birnbohm said
the district's staff provided quiet, gentle
encouragement for all students to take the
test. However, the district did not single out
students for refusing the test, as it will not
be a graduation requirement for students
in high school until 2019.
A large initial concern of parents in the
district had to do with what would happen
to these kids who decided against taking
the test.
A group of parents attended a board
meeting after the PARCC testing was implemented to encourage the district to pass
a policy for students choosing to opt out of
the PARCC test, so the students would not
have to “sit and stare.”
Their message was heard and the district did not enforce a “sit and stare” policy.

‘Home for the Holidays’ offers free pet

Promotion runs through December at Burlington County shelter
Burlington County Freeholder
Deputy Director Bruce Garganio
announced a special “Home for
the Holidays” promotion that will
offer free pet adoptions to approved adopters through December at the Burlington County Animal Shelter.
“With the holiday season upon
us, we are looking to do all that
we can to help more of the great
pets waiting in our shelter find
loving homes,” said Garganio.
“Home for the Holidays is an easy
way for residents to get into the
holiday spirit by giving a
new pet the home that they deserve.”
With the shelter nearing capac-
ity, staff and volunteers are working harder than ever to find
homes for the animals.
“The staff and friends group of
the county animal shelter play a
key role in making this effort a
success,” Garganio added. “They
do a spectacular job caring for
our sheltered animals and are as
eager as I am to see them go home
with a loving family.”
The county animal shelter is
located on Academy Drive off of
Woodlane Road, behind the
Burlington County Library in
Westampton Township. Hours of
operation are noon to 7 p.m. on
Mondays and Thursdays; noon to

LRHSD students in grades
nine, 10 and 11 exceeded or

District-wide math results varied by subject. LRHSD algebra II
results exceeded the state average

and geometry results were below

Justin Smith, the district’s assessment, accountability and
planning coordinator, noted approximately 33,000 New Jersey
students took the PARCC algebra

middle school. Those advanced
students’ scores do not factor into
LRHSD’s outcomes.
“A more equitable comparison
for PARCC algebra and geometry

The kids who decided not to take
the test were encouraged to read
during the test taking period.
While the results of the PARCC
testing were revealed to the public at last week’s LRHSD Board of
Education meeting, student participation results were not provided by the state Department of Education and there was no analysis
on how participation rates could
impact school and district performance.
However, the Department of
Education shared some information last spring, inferring the
largest percentage of students
who did not participate in the
PARCC in New Jersey were high
school students, with the greatest
number of test refusals occurring
in 11th grade.

said. “This comparison, of
LRHSD scores to scores of only
high school students in New Jersey, revealed the LRHSD met or
exceeded the New Jersey average
percent of students scoring Level
4 or better for both algebra I and
geometry.”
PARCC establishes a specific
emphasis on measuring college
and career readiness.
Due to the drastic difference
and increased difficulty in
PARCC testing, the board is encouraging folks to avoid comparing these results with the HSPA
and past standardized tests.
“PARCC is a whole new ball
game, a clean slate in terms of assessment,” Smith said. “There is
no comparison to the HSPA and,
tempting as it may be, parents
and students should not make
comparisons to past standardized
test results. PARCC is a more rigorous test than the HSPA and is
more closely aligned with the
SATs and other college entrance
exams.”
Birnbohm said Common Core
and PARCC’s increased difficulty
is not different from changes the
state has made in standardized
testing in the past.

County sheriff opposes license legislation
Burlington County Sheriff
Jean Stanfield recently urged the
Board of Chosen Freeholders to
pass a resolution opposing pending legislation known as the
“New Jersey Safe and Responsible Driver Act.”
If passed, this legislation
would allow individuals who are
not in the United States legally to
obtain New Jersey driver’s licenses.
In a letter addressed to Freeholder Director Mary Ann
O’Brien, Stanfield outlined the
potential public safety concerns
evident in this legislation.
Part of that letter is below:
“As Sheriff, I have real concerns that this legislation, titled
by its sponsors as the ‘New Jersey
Safe and Responsible Driver Act’,
is neither safe nor responsible. A
Chief: We’re
real proud
of Waterman
driver’s license is the single most
important piece of homeland security identification. In this environment providing driver’s licenses to undocumented individuals is not only irresponsible, it is
dangerous.
“Anyone with a New Jersey
Driver’s License is familiar with
the
rigorous
identification
process all legal residents are
subject to, requiring six-points of
documentation. Allowing individuals who are here illegally to obtain driver’s licenses without
identifying documentation creates a reckless double standard.
The reality is that providing such
driver’s licenses would make it
easier for individuals to violate
the law as a license can be used to
board a plane, buy a gun, open a
bank account, falsify an identity,
or in any number of other important activities.
“Finally this proposed legislation presents significant public
safety concerns at a time when
law enforcement is stepping up
its efforts to ensure the safety of
our residents and expand our
emergency readiness capabilities.
These concerns are particularly
critical given the existence of the
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and important defense industry organizations like Lockheed Martin within Burlington
County.”
The Burlington County Board
of Chosen Freeholders, at their
public meeting of Wednesday
Dec. 9, approved a resolution urging the New Jersey state legislature and governor Christie to reject this proposed legislation.

CHIEF

outstanding job, and we’re real
proud of him.”
“On behalf of council, we’re
very proud of you as well. Thank
you for putting all of the great effort in,” Watson said.
Council concluded the special
presentation segment of the meeting with a few more recognitions.
Every year, Medford holds a
local government institute at
which residents take classes that
preview every section of the
township from the police department to the administration and
even the sewer department, Watson said.
“It’s a really great way for people to learn about our town and
our government and how the
whole operation works,” Watson
said.
This year, seven people went
through the class, all of whom
were given certificates from council for completing the course.

PARCC assessments, with an emphasis on student success.
“Our data team is working
with the administrative teams in
each of the schools to ensure they
understand and communicate
about PARCC in general and put
the results in context,” Birnbohm
said. “Teachers will be able to utilize our new common planning
time, built into the new four day
rotating schedule, to analyze
PARCC data, our curriculum and
our pacing guides.
“We understand this is a new
assessment and there will be
growth over time, but most importantly, we understand the
PARCC is only one measure of a
student’s success. We rely on
many indicators (teacher input,
class grades, PSAT, AP, etc.) to
help shape a student’s program in
order to support all of our students in reaching their goal of either two graduations (high school
and then college) or a career.”
