Deer
fencing
solution?

Speedy sledding

Council subcommittee
hopes to find compromise
with draft ordinance
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun

MIKE MONOSTRA/The Sun

Sherri Bolognone heads down a hill at Tabernacles Pricketts Mill Park last Tuesday with her daughter, MaryTess, hanging on her back.
The Medford family headed to the park for some sledding fun after snow fell last Monday and Tuesday. It was the first time MaryTess
had gone sledding.

After months of listening to

residents and community groups
debate the merits of deer fencing,
Medford Township Council hopes
it has found a compromise to settle the issue.
Councils subcommittee on
deer fencing presented a draft ordinance at last weeks council
meeting. Deputy Mayor Jeff
Beenstock said the subcommittee
tried to find a middle ground between the deer netting supporters
and opponents.
Were trying to set a balance
here, Beenstock said.
Under the draft ordinance,
deer fencing would be permitted
in wooded areas. It can be up to
eight feet high in back yards and
up to six feet high in front yards.
For front yard deer fencing,
there would be additional requirements. The deer fencing has
to be at least 10 feet from any adja-

Soccer star: Medford youth player

heads to Argentina with national team
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
When Medford resident Donovan Wu traveled to North Carolina in April 2014 to attend a U.S.
Soccer Club id2 tryout camp, he
didnt expect to be selected to the
team.
At the point when I was trying
out, I was just trying to do my

best and get

better as a
player, Donovan said.
This
past
January, however, Donovan
received the
call. He was
named to the
id2 roster and
DONOVAN
would travel
on an international tour to Argentina.
Donovan is one of 18 of the
best youth soccer players across
the country who will travel to Argentina from Feb. 28 to March 11.
The team will play against elite
youth teams from other South
American countries and train at
some of the best Argentinian facilities. The id2 program is an
Olympic Development Program,
sponsored by both the United

States Olympic Committee and

the U.S. Soccer Federation.
For Donovan, who will turn 14
on Feb. 26, the selection is a culmination of six years as a soccer
player. He began his soccer career
at the age of 8, when he watched
his older brother, Dalton, try out
for a Medford Township travel
team. Dalton is a goalkeeper for
Shawnee High Schools boys soccer team.
He was at a soccer tryout
when he was in fifth grade, and I
ended up trying out and made the
team, Donovan said.
For a few years, Donovan
played as an outside defender on
a local club team called Real
NJSC Arsenal.
Donovan credits his coaches
for encouraging him as he progressed. He said years of long

No changes for PARCC

CALL NOW FOR FOR WINTER SAVINGS!

Lenape district officials will encourage

all students to take assessment
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun

please see LRHSD, page 9

NJ Lic. #13vh0111555900

Even though students across

New Jersey will be taking a new
standardized test in fewer than
two weeks, the Lenape Regional
High School District's approach
to testing will not change.
The district's board of education passed a protocol for the
Partnership for Assessment of
Readiness for College and Career
test at last weeks meeting. The
protocol won't be different from
the way the district treated standardized assessments in the past.
Superintendent Carol Birnbohm
said students at all the district's
high schools will be presented the
assessment as the state Department of Education mandates.
At past board of education
meetings, parents have requested
the board take students who refuse to take the PARCC test to another room to do an alternate activity, but Birnbohm said an alternate room will not be provided.
All students will be encour-

aged to take the test, she said.

The district is not enforcing a
sit and stare policy. Birnbohm
said the district's staff will provide quiet, gentle encouragement
for all students to take the test.
The district will not single out
students for refusing the test.
In the past, students have been
permitted to read books once they
are finished with their test. This
procedure will continue with
PARCC.
One parent at the board meeting was unhappy with what she
heard. Megan Chamberlain, a
parent of a Seneca High School
student, said she submitted a refusal letter to Seneca administrators and was hoping her daughter
would be able to sit in a non-testing room while her fellow classmates took the PARCC.
The school district is hoping
students approach PARCC from a
positive point of view. It has been
preparing students for the upcoming tests through alignment

Donovan: New coach

is like new teacher
DONOVAN
Continued from page 2
practices and intense training
have helped him prepare for the
opportunity before him.
We just had intense practices
when we were very young, Donovan said. Our team was very
good.
This year, Donovan has played
with a number of different teams
and programs. This year, Donovan has moved to the FC Continental U14 Academy team. He
said playing for different teams
has made him a more well-rounded player.
Anytime you get a different
coach, its like a new teacher. You
learn different ideas that the
other ones didnt portray, he
said.
Donovan felt attending the
camp in North Carolina would
allow him to get even more experience and practice against some
of the best players his age.
The tryout was a four-day

camp in North Carolina, he said.

It was very intense. It was about
60 elite players from around the
region. It seemed like a great opportunity.
This is not the first time Donovan is traveling overseas to play
soccer. Last year, he went with a
Philadelphia
Union-sponsored
team to Qatar. He also traveled to
Amsterdam with a Soccer Player
Development team. Traveling to a
third continent is a thrill for
Donovan.
Im very excited, he said.
Any time you get to go to a different country, you really learn a
lot.
Donovan has a plan for his career. He is looking forward to following in his brothers footsteps
at Shawnee. Donovan hopes to
work hard enough to play soccer
in college and the pros.

Parents shouldnt encourage kids to not take PARCC test

Dan McDonough Jr.

chaIrman of elauwIt medIa

onday, March 2 is going to be

a different kind of day in
public schools throughout
New Jersey. Thats the first day the
long-awaited, and highly-controversial,
Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career test will be
administered.
PARCC, as its better known, is the
newest version of the annual standardized test that students have been taking for years. There have always been
debates as to whether standardized
tests do any good, or whether the results provide any useful information.
But the fact is that standardized testing has been around for decades, and
PARCC is just the newest version.
Sure, this version is taken entirely
on a computer, not with a pen and
Scantron, leaving many concerned
about whether students can perform
well. Todays students grew up with
this technology, though, so they should
have no issue adjusting to taking a test
on a computer; it may even be easier
for them.
Sure, this version only measures

performance in math and English,

leaving many concerned that it is taking away instructional time in other
subjects. The SAT has been testing in
only those two subjects for years,
though, and no one seems to have a
problem with that.
Its not just parents who have a problem with PARCC. The New Jersey Education Association launched online
and TV ads last week that, in one spot,
asked emphatically: what are we
doing to our kids?
Well, we are testing them, just like
we have tested them in the past.
Contrary to how this might read, we
are not in favor of PARCC, or standardized testing in general. We agree that
there has to be a better way to judge
students, and teachers, than a national
standardized test. But encouraging
students to not take the test sends the

wrong message, and teaches the wrong

lesson. We shouldnt be teaching our
students that its OK to avoid taking a
test because you dont agree with it.
Should they also say no to homework,
because they dont agree that it properly assesses their learning? Should they
not take a final exam in college because its taken on a computer?
Voicing opinions and concerns and
standing up for what you believe in are
good lessons to teach. But attacking
the schools, which have no choice in
administering the test, and teaching
students that its OK to refuse to take
the test are not the way to approach the
issue. Sometimes in life, we have to do
what we dont want to do and dont
agree with doing.
Take the fight to the legislators who
approved the testing. Lobby them to
change the rules.
While passing PARCC isnt a requirement to graduate high school
now, it will be starting with the class of
2019. And what will you do then prevent students from graduating because
they refused to take a test?

Violence, vandalism incidents drop

LRHSD sees decrease, according to semi-annual report
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
Incidents of violence, vandalism, bullying and substance
abuse slightly declined during the
first half of the school year in the
Lenape Regional High School District.
District Security and Emergency Management Coordinator
James Kehoe presented the district's semi-annual violence and
vandalism report at last weeks
board of education meeting. According to the report, the district
had 37 incidents of violence, vandalism, substance abuse and bullying from July through December 2014. This is a decline from
the 39 reported incidents during
the same time period in 2013.
Much of this decline has to do
with a large drop in vandalism.
The district had only one report
of vandalism through all four

high schools, well down from the

eight reports of vandalism in
2013. The vandalism report fell
under the category of theft.
It was a theft of $50 where the
money was not recovered, Kehoe
said.
The district also had some good
news in its number of harassment, intimidation and bullying
incidents. as there were no confirmed cases of HIB during the
first half of the school year.
Kehoe said there was one investigation of an HIB case, but it was
unfounded.
The district did see a small
uptick in two sub-categories. Substance abuse increased from 18
cases in 2013 to 20 cases in 2014.
Most of the reports were for possession, though there were five reported cases of use. Those five
cases came from students who
tested positive for an illegal substance.

Anytime a student is suspected to be under the influence in

school, they are sent to be tested,
Kehoe said.
There was also an increase in
violence. There were 16 cases of
violence in 2014, up from 12 in
2013. This included eight cases of
assault, five fights and three cases
of threat. Two of the three threat
cases were found to be criminal.
A criminal threat is when a
student is arrested, Kehoe said.
Despite the increase in violence, Kehoe said there were no
reports of weapons use in 2014.
There were also no reports of sexual harassment, an improvement
over one reported case in the first
half of 2013.
The district has also continued
to improve its methods during
emergency situations. Superintendent Carol Birnbohm said all

to the Common Core curriculum

and through providing students
with sample test questions.
Birnbohm said Common Core
and PARCCs increased difficulty
is not different from changes the
state has made in standardized
testing in the past.
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.
PARCC is not a graduation requirement for students in high
school. However, Birnbohm said

it will be a requirement beginning with the class of 2019. She

feels its essential to establish the
importance of this assessment
right away.
We need to show we're providing an environment to prepare
our students for the new graduation requirement, Birnbohm
said.
From an infrastructure standpoint, the district is fully prepared to administer the tests. Director of programs and planning
Chris Heilig said the district has
undergone multiple tests of its
technology infrastructure to
make sure the assessment could
be administered at all four high
schools.
What was important to us was
we wanted to expose our students
to the content and also test our infrastructure, Heilig said.
From a technology standpoint
to student readiness, district officials are confident everyone is
prepared for PARCC. The first
day for testing in the Lenape district and other districts in New
Jersey is March 2.

during the past month. The drills
were done in conjunction with
local law enforcement agencies.
This is the second year the district has practiced unannounced
drills.

What we're looking for is

everyone's quiet, out of sight,
doors are locked and security procedures are followed, Birnbohm
said.
The unannounced drills have
helped the district analyze its
emergency security plans, especially in settings where a lot of
people are in a large room such as
the cafeteria at one time. The
drills also allow the district to receive feedback from each school's
resource officer.

the fall and early winter meeting
with homeowners associations
and community groups to try to
figure out the best solution.
Beenstock acknowledged deer
fencing was a very polarizing
issue, with groups of residents
showing support both for and
against it.
Its one we wanted to address
carefully and thoughtfully, he
said.
Buoni felt the ordinance addresses the concerns of both
sides.
The goal was to let people protect their property, but not affect
other properties, he said.
The issue of deer fencing was
originally brought before council
in May 2014 after residents complained about the lack of clear

regulations for it. The original

question was whether deer fencing would be defined and regulated as any other fence in the township. The topic was brought to the
townships attention in the past,
but no action had been taken.
The draft ordinance received
mixed reviews, with some residents feeling some progress was
made. Resident Paul Davis had
expressed concerns about the
deer fencing at multiple council
meetings, but said he felt things
were moving in the right direction.
Bruce Haegley, a resident and
zoning board member, was happy
to hear residents in open areas
would not be permitted to have
the fencing.
You did a great job burying
this in a wooded area, he said.
A big complaint among opponents was the fence issue wasnt
correcting the problem of deer
overpopulation in the township.
Ken Dybalsky felt council was
failing to address the deer problem.
I dont think a fence will stop
any deer from eating vegetation,
he said.
Bob Elmer agreed, saying the

deer problem can be solved without permitting deer fences.

Thats the heart of the issue, if
we just take care of the deer, he
said.
Elmer was also concerned
about the fencing being visible
looking down a persons driveway
from the street. When council
members said the five-foot vegetation was meant to hide any view
of the fence from the street,
Elmer disagreed.
I think its going to be very obvious, he said.
Even if the draft ordinance is
passed, Councilman Brad Denn
noted it would not override a
homeowners associations regulations. Homes that are deed restricted would still have to abide
to their homeowners associations rules.
Taylor also said residents who
have fencing not in conformance
with the draft ordinance can still
apply for a variance with the zoning board, as in the past.
Council said the draft ordinance and additional information
will be made available at
www.medfordtownship.com prior
to the ordinances first reading,
scheduled for March 3.

Pantano earns Girl Scout Silver Award by improving Medford Park

Over this past summer, Medford Girl Scout Sharon Pantano
earned her Silver Award by improving Medford Park, located by
Bunning Field off Mill Street in
Medford. Between
park
cleanups,
plantings and
species identification signs,
she has played
a part in the
beautification
of Medford.
Through a
series of park
PANTANO
cleanups
in
which she cleared out branches,
pulled weeds, raked leaves and
cleaned up litter with her Girl
Scout troop in both Tomlinson
and Medford Park, Sharon
earned a Medford Township
Clean Communities Grant that
helped fund her project.
With the money, Sharon added
plantings by the entrance to the

pavilion in Medford Park. After

taking soil samples to determine
chemical and acid contents, she
planted two Inkberry Holly
shrubs and two High Bush Blueberry shrubs, which are both
plants native to the New Jersey
Pinelands.
These, she hopes, will help
brighten up the park.
Additionally, after researching
and analyzing the trees in Medford Park, Sharon customized,
purchased and installed 20
species identification tags to identify the various trees in the park.
Some of these include the Sweet
Gum and Bitternut Hickory.
Overall, her signs feature 12 different species of trees which she
thinks, are very interesting to
learn about.
Throughout
her
project,
Sharon worked with Beth Portocalis from the Medford Township
Department of Parks and Neighborhood Services who acted as
her mentor, Judy Scherf from the

TAKE
AIM.

Medford Clean Communities Program, Jeanette Johnson, the former president of The Pinelands
Garden Club, and Amy Karpati,
the director for conservation science in the Pinelands Preservation Alliance. She also obtained

help from those in her Girl Scout

Troop No. 22323, including Maya
Norton, Fabiana Ferraiolo and
Cassie Oleniacz, as well as from
her friend, Autumn Keane.
I really hope this brings more
attention to the park, Sharon

said at the completion of her 50hour Silver Award Take Action

project.
Medford
Park,
like many other parks, is underused, but it really is a beautiful
place.
