Tabernacle Township held its
first Tabernacle Volunteer Day on
June 11 in the cafeteria and park-
ing lot of the Tabernacle Elemen-
tary School. The event was put to-
gether to showcase the many vol-
unteer organizations that are in
Tabernacle Township.
“The mayor decided to do this
because a lot of people don’t real-
ize what goes on in this township.
(There are) a lot of volunteers,”
William Lowe, emergency man-
agement coordinator, said. “This
was an opportunity for the differ-
ent organizations to show what
they do, recruit some members,
and for the township to recognize
the volunteers.”
In recognizing the volunteers,
Mayor Kim Brown presented
each organization with a certifi-
cate. A video montage is also up
on the township’s website that
was made by Eileen Baitzel,
deputy municipal clerk.
“Eileen made the montage, and
Janet Boris took the pictures,”
Lowe said. “She is responsible for
the website, so she put the video
up there. I didn’t even know she
could do anything like that, until
the video went up. I think it was
almost like a challenge to her. In
townships like ours, people like to
do things like that.”
At Tabernacle Volunteer Day,
21 volunteer organizations pre-
sented themselves, and a crowd of
a few hundred people showed up.
“We had 22 organizations on
the list, and 21 showed up,” Lowe
said. “We had a broad range of or-
ganizations and enough of a
crowd turnout to make it worth
it. We hope to have another one
next year.”
At the event, some organiza-
tions were able to recruit new
members.
“The Community Response
Team recruited five people,”
Lowe said.
In all, the day served its pur-
pose with shining light on the
many volunteer organizations
and giving them thanks for what
they do.
“A lot of these organizations
don’t get to show their work,”
Lowe said. “Plus, this was a way
to say thank you.”

Volunteer spirit shines through
By KATRINA GRANT
The Tabernacle Sun
Tabernacle Township schools
recently received additional state
funding that they hope will be
used to keep personnel and pro-
grams that are currently funded
from the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and
Education Jobs funds.
In a 3-2 state Supreme Court
ruling that took place in May, the
court ruled that the state had to
restore approximately $500 mil-
lion to Abbott districts.
Abbott districts are low-in-
come school districts and there
are 31 in the state.
The state recently announced
that it is giving the Abbott dis-
tricts $450 million and an addi-
tional $150 million to non-Abbott
districts.
The state is also giving an addi-
tional $250 million to all school
districts for the 2012 budget year.
This equals to $850 million in ad-
ditional aid to the school districts
for the year.
While many school districts
don’t know if this funding will be
around next year, they are putting
plans together now as to what to
do with the money.
Tabernacle, which saw its
budget cut by 5 percent two years
ago, will receive an additional
$130,896 in funding for the 2012-13
year.
“Hopefully this additional
funding will allow us to keep per-
sonnel and programs that have
been subsidized by the ARRA
funds, which expired June 30, and
the Ed Jobs funds, which will ex-
pire June 30, 2012,” business ad-
ministrator/board secretary
Chad Fires said. “However, many
things could change between now
and the 2012-13 school year budg-
et.”
Throughout the various 591
school districts in New Jersey,
many will apply the money in dif-
ferent ways.
Some may restore staff and
programs, give the money back to
the taxpayers or a mix of some of
those options.
While Tabernacle ultimately
decides what programs or
staffing it needs to apply the
money to, it hopes this will be a
continuing trend.
“We hope that it will continue,”
Fires said. “We were told by the
governor that this was an effort to
start to replace the money that
was taken away two years ago.”
While Tabernacle is not sure
what the status of additional
funding will be in the coming
years, it hopes to see things stabi-
lize.
“I can’t speculate on that,”
Fires said. “There are many vari-
ables. I believe that, as the econo-
my continues to rebound, state
funding will stabilize.”
Looking to save programs, personnel
For one half, Alpha Q was as
good, if not better than the un-
beaten defending champion Team
Awesome, for one half both teams
were dead even locked in a 25-25
game, a offensive showdown
which saw each team answering
each others’ scoring, but then
came the second half.
“This season was as successful
as we could have hoped,” Connor
Hughes said. “We were competi-
tive, we won two of our last three
games and we ended the season
going blow for blow with the best
team in this entire league. This
team’s potential is limitless.”
“Even though we lost, this
game still feels like we won,”
starting defensive back and run-
ning back Ryan Kuski said.
After one half the score was
dead even. Unfortunately Alpha
Q just couldn’t keep up with the
high-powered run and gun of-
fense of Team Awesome. Team
Awesome went on a run in the
second half scoring on every of-
fensive possession, a feat that
Alpha Q wasn’t able to match.
“We tried our hardest to keep
with these guys,” Hughes said.
“In the first half we were with
them; but in the second half their
experience, their knowledge of
being in the playoffs and being de-
fending champs really shined
through. But one thing is for sure;
everyone knows Alpha Q is no
pushover.”
The score of 52-36 shows one
story, the game another. Alpha Q’s
offense was at its best, seeing five
starters reach the end zone and
matched so much of Team Awe-
some’s firepower with just as
much of their own. Corinne
Pawlowski continued her incredi-
ble season pulling in two touch-
downs; receiver Conner Doud
added another, which gave Alpha
Q all the signs in the world that a
bright future is just ahead of
them.
“Our entire offense is coming
back next season, we were able to
score with the best in a year
which we have only been playing
together for what, eight weeks,”
Hughes said. “The teams we are
playing have been together three
to four years, and we were match-
ing all of them stride to stride. To
see what we accomplished this
season and to know we can now
build on that for the future, add a
couple more plays, have a month
of practices before we come back,
words can’t describe how excited
I am to get back to action.”
Alpha Q doesn’t have to wait
too long to figure out what next
season holds, the fall season be-
gins Sept. 10 and will feature
much more teams than the ones
that were in the spring season.
Defensively things might not be
the same old thing for Alpha Q, as
two key defensive starters, Matt
Massucci and Ryan Deveney, will
not be back for the fall season as
they will be attending Monmouth
and West Virginia universities.
“Losing those two will be
tough,” Coach Bill Hill said.
“However, we have players that
are ready to step into their place
and hold the fort down and a cou-
ple free agent signings that are
ready to take their place until
they can return next summer.”
“We’re going to miss them,” de-
fensive captain Rodney Konzel-
mann said. “But, we know they
are coming back in the spring and
we are very confident in the peo-
ple taking their place and what
they are capable of doing.”
The players Alpha Q will be
putting their hopes on will be Joe
and Sean Pawlowski, along with
Jill Doud who will be taking over
as three defensive starters.
“We’re so excited to see what
they can do and the plays they
can bring to this team,” Hughes
said. “We can’t wait, this year was
incredible, more fun than any-
thing else and by the end of the
season you could see how far we
have come. We really became a
family this season. The bond and
our playing are only going to
strengthen each year and we can’t
wait to see what we are capable of
after an off season of training
and getting ready. In the fall, we
will be ready.”

With the large exhibitor tents
pitched and ready, final landscap-
ing touches completed, new walk-
ways finished and a midway of
colorful amusement rides in
place, Burlington County Free-
holders assembled with other offi-
cials and guests to officially dedi-
cate the new Burlington County
Fairgrounds in Springfield Town-
ship last week.
The event was marked by two
ribbon cuttings. Freeholder Di-
rector Bruce Garganio broke the
first ribbon aboard a tractor, lead-
ing a parade of tractors onto the
site. The cutting of a second rib-
bon – across the wide entry to the
site – was joined in by all in atten-
dance.
“I congratulate and thank all of
you who are with us today, be-
cause you are sharing in what is
truly a milestone in the history of
Burlington County,” Garganio
said. “Years from now memories
and photographs from today’s
event will be circulated, and you

The Tabernacle Sun
Does the rising mercury of
summer mean a drop in busi-
ness? While it’s true that sum-
mertime sales do tend to dip,
there are many who say that,
with the right marketing ap-
proach, that doesn’t have to be the
case.
“For some businesses, it’s the
busiest time of year,” said Mark
Morgan, president of the
Moorestown Business Associa-
tion.
Each season provides unique
challenges, but with summer also
come unique opportunities for
business owners. For the most
part, business representatives
across the area said, it all comes
down to taking advantage of in-
creased foot traffic during sum-
mer events, and, if possible, get-
ting more involved with the com-
munity.
Morgan said most of the suc-
cess for businesses at this time of
year in his area can be attributed
to summer events such as Art-
Walk or Moorestown Day.
The Moorestown Business As-
sociation sponsors ArtWalk on
the second Friday of each month
from May through September
from 6 to 9 p.m.
“Shops on Main Street are en-
couraged to stay open later and
take advantage of the increased
foot traffic,” Morgan said.
Compare it to First Friday in
Haddonfield, which Haddonfield
Retail Coordinator Lisa Hurd
said has become bigger and big-
ger in recent years.
“They have become increasing-
ly popular,” she said. “It draws
people in for the arts but also to
shop and dine.”
Haddonfield’s First Friday
events run from April through
November from 5 to 9 p.m. The
next one, Aug. 5, will coincide
with Haddonfield’s annual side-
walk sale, which is a longstand-
ing tradition that Hurd said at-
tracts huge crowds and offers
great promotions and buys.
“The next First Friday will be a
ton of fun with music, art, sales
and dining,” she said. “It’ll be ex-
citing.
“In Haddonfield, we have some
of our biggest events of the year
during our summer months,”
Hurd said. “We just wrapped up
the Fine Art and Crafts Festival.
There were 100,000 people in town
over the course of the weekend.”
She added that events like that
don’t just bring people in for one
weekend.
“Since we draw people in from
all over the region and beyond,
people discover the unique shops
and dining opportunities that
Haddonfield has to offer and they
come back later in the season,”
she said.
We may be just a short distance
from popular destinations such
as the Jersey shore, but Hurd
pointed out that not everyone
goes to the beach for vacation.
There are people who plan stayca-
tions, and there are even some
who vacation in this area and are
looking for fun things to do.
Michael Marchitto, director of
economic development for
Voorhees Township, said summer
sales in Voorhees are actually
pretty steady compared to other
seasons. He said he believes the
economic climate is helping local
businesses because more people
are staying close to home and opt-
ing for staycations.
Marchitto, who is also the
township liaison to the Voorhees
Business Association, said any
reports he has seen show busi-
ness remains at the same level
through the summer, with just a
slight drop for some businesses.
He added that summer events
do still help sales, such as the free
Summer Twilight Series, includ-
ing musical performances and
movies, at Connolly Park.
Independence Day is a summer
event that many towns can rely
on for a boost. Over in Marlton,
approximately 35,000 people were
in town for July Fourth events,
which included a 5K in the morn-
ing, dinner and dessert from local
businesses at Cherokee High
School, and fireworks at dusk.
Sandy Student, a member of
the Marlton Business Associa-
tion, said he’s hopeful that atten-
dance at Evesham’s Independ-
ence Day festivities – an increase
in the thousands compared to last
year – is an indication of how suc-
cessful the whole summer will be
locally.
“There’s a huge amount of peo-
ple who are going to the shore.
They’re doing vacations where
they are gone for a week or two
weeks, so there could be a tenden-
cy to have a downturn,” said Stu-
dent, also the chairman of the
Marlton Economic Development
Advisory Committee. “The suc-
cessful merchants are the ones
who take advantage of local op-
portunities.”
There’s the National Draw
Tournament for lacrosse at
Cherokee High School, for exam-
ple, which drew in 12,000 people
this year. Student said hotels in
the whole area, not just Marlton,
were sold out.

For decades, the Farm Fair
has been a regular happening on
the Village Green in Lumberton,
but has become squeezed in re-
cent years by increasing popula-
tion and traffic, not to mention
its own offering of exhibits and
activities.
Working with the Burlington
County Farm Fair Association,
freeholders identified the 640-
acre sod farm off Route 206, at
Jacksonville-Jobstown Road, as
an ideal replacement, and pur-
chased the property, which had
faced potential residential devel-
opment, in 2004 for $4.5 million.
Garganio told those assem-
bled for last week’s ceremony
that the purchase was – and still
is – the largest acquisition the
county has ever made. Sixty
acres have been earmarked for
the fairgrounds, which will also
host equestrian, 4-H and other
events throughout the year.
The remaining major portion
of the property will remain as
open space, and is destined to
feature an expansive network of
trails sometime in the future.
The 2011 edition of the Farm
Fair ran Wednesday, July 20
through Saturday, July 23. The
Farm Fair Association held its
own ceremonial opening on
Wednesday, July 20.
Fair organizers have clung to
traditional agricultural displays,
contests and events over the
years, but also incorporated new
and exciting attractions. This
year, for the first time, a tractor
pull competition took place.
Those wanting more farm fair
information can call 784-8369 or
visit www.burlingtoncountyfarm-
fair.com/site. The Farm Fair
Manager is Jim Soden.
The field of 50 tractors that
paraded onto the new fair-
grounds last week actually made
a ceremonial trip that started
around 10 a.m. in Springfield,
rolled along back roads to the
former home of the farm fair in
Lumberton, and then returned
to the new site four hours later.
“I extend thanks and congrat-
ulations to the good people of
Lumberton, who for years, wel-
comed the farm fair to their com-
munity, even as it was growing
and bursting at the seams,” Gar-
ganio said. “Many of us will
have nostalgic memories, child-
hood memories, of our experi-
ences there.”
Garganio noted that Spring-
field, according to historical ac-

Just an excuse
IPAB: Death panel or no big deal?
D
epending upon which politician is speaking, the Inde-
pendent Payment Advisory Board is either a death
panel or no big deal. We say it’s something else: an ex-
cuse. An excuse for our duly elected leaders to pass the buck, ig-
nore their responsibilities and
otherwise not do the jobs they
were elected to do.
IPAB is the board that, once
actually established, will over-
see Medicare spending and, in
theory, limit cost increases. Re-
publicans say it will lead to ra-
tioning health care. Democrats say it is needed to save Congress
from itself.
We say this looks like the old call for a constitutional conven-
tion in New Jersey to reform the state’s obscene tax structure.
Politicians who supported the call for the convention said they
needed it because the public was too stupid to comprehend the
process of tax reform and would vote out any politician who
perhaps raised one tax to lower another.
Same thing with IPAB. If Congress is paying too much atten-
tion to lobbyists and special interests, as the IPAB supporters
say, then, well, the public should be OK with that or the public
should be so outraged that those members of Congress either
change their ways or are voted out of office. That’s kind of the
way government is supposed to work. It’s not supposed to have
independent, non-elected panels and groups providing cover for
cowardly politicians.
Whether it’s Medicare, tax systems, budgets or anything else
related to government, the “fixes” begin and end with those
elected to office. They have the power to do nothing, make
things better or make things worse.
Then, it’s up to the voting public to hold them accountable
and to vote people out of office when necessary.
We don’t need bodyguards for politicians who are unwilling
to make the tough decisions.
Find some courage

pendent Medicare spending
oversight committee is a

Farm Fair kicks off
FARM
Continued from page 3
“The local merchants who par-
ticipated enjoyed record sales,”
Student said.
There was also a positive im-
pact on several other local busi-
nesses, such as those at The
Promenade, he added.
“We have an advantage here
because there’s no tax on clothing
or shoes in New Jersey, so some of
our local merchants saw an
uptick in purchases that week-
end,” he said.
Several smaller events can also
add up to success.
Every Wednesday night during
the summer at The Promenade,
there’s a free outdoor concert. All
four restaurants there – Pizzicato,
Panera, Redstone Grill and P.F.
Chang’s – are packed on those
nights, Student said.
“We’re also seeing local farm
stands that are doing great busi-
ness,” Student said. “People are
trying to take advantage of local
produce. As a matter of fact, (sev-
eral) restaurants in Marlton
(were) participants in the Farm
to Fork event.”
Farm to Fork Week, which was
offered across South Jersey July
19 through July 25, is like Restau-
rant Week, except participating
restaurants offer four-course
meals that are made entirely of
local produce.
Taking advantage of increased
foot traffic during events is key,
but it’s also good for local busi-
nesses to reach out to the commu-
nity.
Student referred to local busi-
ness owners who participate in
the 5K Mayor’s Cup in Marlton,
which helps to promote their
business.
There’s also REI, which has al-
ways been a supporter of the bi-
cycle group Team Evesham. The
store also recently offered a semi-
nar to the public on the opportu-
nities available to explore Black
Run Preserve and how to main-
tain it.
He pointed to ShopRite, a sup-
porter of the local Yellow Ribbon
Club, and Whole Foods Market,
which recently donated more
than $5,000 to the Cherokee High
School nutrition program.
“Here are merchants who are
reaching out to the community,”
Student said, adding events such
as A Taste of Evesham and Ped-
dle from The Promenade are also
great chances for businesses to
get involved. “In a national down-
town, here are companies that
gear up and promote business.”
For the really small mom and
pop shops, you might have to take
a different approach in how you
promote yourself, especially
when business gets slow, Student
said. The best thing these busi-
ness owners can do, which Hurd
also stressed, is use social media
and e-mail to reach clientele.
Merchants should take advan-
tage of sites like Facebook and
Twitter to announce promotions
and offer coupons, and they
should also compile a customer e-
mail database to send out blasts
about special events.
Student and Hurd agreed that
economic development equals
community development. So not
only is it important for local busi-
nesses to get involved, but it’s also
important for local residents to
recognize and do their part; sup-
port local businesses because
they support you.
“They reinvest in the commu-
nity,” Student said. “That’s why
you support local merchants.”
Morgan pointed out that you
can’t always match the small-
town atmosphere of home if you
travel and shop elsewhere. In
Moorestown, for example, you
can check out a show at the
Moorestown Theater Company
and see your friends and neigh-
bors on stage. That doesn’t hap-
pen on Broadway, he said.
“By seeing a show in
Moorestown, theatergoers also
have an opportunity to make a
day of their trip to Main Street,”
said Morgan, the producing artis-
tic director for the theater compa-
ny. “If you see a matinee, you can
have lunch afterward, or if you’re
going to an evening performance,
you can have dinner on Main
Street before the show.”
Hurd said that you can tell peo-
ple to buy local all you want, but
you need to give them a com-
pelling reason to actually do it.
“Haddonfield has been work-
ing very hard in the last five to
eight years to bring in a mix of
business that’s exciting, distinct
and unique,” she said. “We really
try to give people a compelling
reason to buy local and so far it’s
working.
“A strong Main Street is vital
to a core identity of a downtown,”
Hurd said. “There’s no doubt
about that. It’s also a well-known
fact that the majority of every
dollar spent locally flows back
into the community … That’s
sound economic reason for buy-
ing local.”
