EPA continues
cleanup timeline
of superfund site

Camp No Worries

Remedy for Kirkwood Lake expected

for sometime in 2018 or 2019
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
Officials with the Environmental Protection Agency say the
agency is still working to meet its
previously announced target
years for when it hopes to decide
upon final plans to clean up the
various Sherwin-Williams related
superfund
sites
in
the
Voorhees/Gibbsboro area.
For those Voorhees residents
concerned about the health of
Kirkwood Lake, which sits at the
bottom
of
the
SherwinWilliams/Hilliards Creek superfund site, that means a decision
from the EPA regarding how the
lake should be cleaned is still
somewhere in 2018 or 2019.
Records of Decision, or
RODs as they are often referred
to, are the final public documents
released by the EPA that detail
the specific cleanup methods that
must be used to remedy a super-

fund site.
Once the EPA finalizes a ROD,
the agency then works to implement the remedies outlined within.
The first ROD the EPA announced for the SherwinWilliams related superfund sites
in the area was presented to the
public in September of last year
and related to a plan to clean up
lead-contaminated soil from more
than 30 residential properties at
the Sherwin-Williams/Hilliards
Creek Superfund site in Voorhees
and Gibbsboro.
The cause of the environmental issues in the area dates back to
the mid-1800s, when John Lucas
& Company, and later SherwinWilliams, operated a paint varnish manufacturing facility in
Gibbsboro until 1977.
EPA officials and documents
say over the course of decades,

Kids in Voorhees might be used

to going to the library to work on
computers, but later this month,
kids can go to the library and
learn how computers work.
From July 25 through July 29,
Voorhees teens and tweens ages
11 to 16 can attend a different kind
of camp with the Camden County
Library Systems Coding Camp.
Kids will get a chance to learn
basic computer programing by
using Scratch, a free visual computer programming language developed by MIT that teaches students how to program animations, games and more.
Haddon Township branch librarian Martha Cannon, who has
a masters degree in computer science, just got through teaching a
similar camp at the systems Haddon township branch. Cannon

said scientists and educators at

MIT designed Scratch to be intuitive and easy to use for all kids, as
it doesnt involve the detailed lines
of code and syntax needed for
more advanced programming languages.
Instead, Cannon said the program is visually based, so children move around multi-colored
blocks that perform the basic
functions and commands of computer programing, and by assembling those blocks in different
ways, theyre able to build their
own programs.
Cannon said kids can also
share the programs they create
with their peers, and they work
collaboratively to comment on,
and learn from, what others have
done.
It focuses on programming interactive stories and games, so its
something children want to do,
and they can see whats happen-

ing quickly, which always helps

when learning something new,
Cannon said.
Cannon said a goal of the library has always been easy accesses to information, and she
feels more people in society should
learn how the technology they use
every day such as computers and
cell phones actually work.
We want people to go from
being consumers of technology to
being creators of technology, and
there is a difference there, Cannon said. Languages like
Scratch can start taking them
over that hump.
Noting the gender gap that exists within science, technology,
engineering and math fields, Cannon specifically invites girls as
well as boys to the camp, so everyone can experience fun programming lessons free of intimidation.

in our opinion

Social media more than just pics

108 Kings Highway East

Haddonfield, NJ 08033

Police departments using Facebook, Twitter to help reduce crime

Dan McDonough Jr.

he Internet is quite a powerful

tool, but, sometimes its power
can be used for bad instead of
good. Information as harmless as
facts, someones opinion or pictures of
people having fun can turn harmful in
a second.
Inappropriate comments on a photo;
attacking someones character, race,
religion or sexuality; cyber-bullying;
or straight mis-reporting facts all take
advantage of the Internets power to
do bad.
Social media sites such as Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat
make it easier to connect people all
over the world, and even easier to do
so in a negative fashion.
But, luckily, there is some good
going on in the digital world.

Your thoughts
Do you follow your local police
department on Twitter, Facebook or
other online sites? What is your police
department doing well? How can it
improve? Tell us your thoughts.

Local police departments have attributed significant drops in crime

over the last few years to the their utilization of social media.
More departments throughout the
state are utilizing Facebook and Twitter to their advantage to notify the
community of important announcements and ask for residents help in
catching a criminal, for example.
Those two social media sites, as well
as information sharing service Nixle,
not only notify residents of crimes,

alerts and issues, but also serve as

communication tools for residents to
submit their own issues and concerns
directly to the department.
Its much easier, and more efficient,
for residents to submit information on
the computer than it is to call in or
stop by the police departments offices.
Its great to see that police departments at a local level are utilizing the
latest technology to make their jobs
easier and more efficient, and providing more avenues for residents to feel
safe and communicate with their local
police force.
To those departments that are utilizing the power of the Internet to its
fullest potential, bravo; keep it up. To
those that arent, its time to step up
and go out on a limb. Its worth it.

Shop Voorhees helps reduce property tax bill

In October 2013, the Township Committee, in cooperation with our Economic Development Committee, became the first
municipality in South Jersey to introduce
the Shop Voorhees Property Tax Reward
Program. This innovative program is now
being utilized in more than a dozen South
Jersey municipalities with many more
considering joining.
This program allows a portion of your
normal purchasing dollars spent on goods
and services in Voorhees to be applied to
your property tax bill, thereby reducing
your taxes at the end of the tax year.
Shop at any participating Shop
Voorhees location. You will know the participating businesses by the Shop Voorhees
logo in their window or by checking online
at www.propertytaxcard.com or the
Voorhees
Township
website,
www.voorheesnj.com. When you check
out, present your Shop Voorhees card. The
retailer will swipe your card and a percent-

age of your purchase

will be applied to reduce your property tax
bill. Each business independently establishes a percentage of your
purchase that will be
applied toward your
taxes. It is that easy.
Since its inception,
more than 55 Voorhees
businesses
have
Michael
joined and more than
Mignogna
4,500 residents have
chosen to participate MAYORS MESSAGE
in the program and
the numbers continue to grow. Last year,
972 residents received tax credits from
using their Shop Voorhees card with more
than 30 residents realizing more than $100
in savings. The single largest credit realized last year was $668.
When the program started, cards were

distributed to every resident by mail. If

you need a card, contact the municipal
clerk at (856) 429-7757 or email
clerk@voorheesnj.com. To activate your
card, register it at www.propertytax
card.com or www.voorheesnj.com. You will
need available your Shop Voorhees card as
well as your property block and lot number. This is how your shopping benefits
will be recognized to be credited. If you reside in an apartment, your address will be
the recognizing factor for receiving a check
at the end of the tax year. Everyone can
participate as long as you sign up with
your card and you live in Voorhees.
The Shop Voorhees Property Tax Reward Program now has a free mobile app.
If you have an iPhone or Android, download and enjoy. The app includes information about all participating merchants and
the credit percentage each merchant is ofplease see PARROT, page 8

Cherry Hill native encouraging readers

to become unSTUCK with debut book
Shira Taylor Gura will speak about her book, Getting unSTUCK, in Voorhees
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
About four years ago, Cherry
Hill native Shira Taylor Gura was
trying to write a children's book
called Stuck in the Muck. The
idea for the
book revolved
around a monkey who got
stuck as he
swung from
tree to tree in
the
jungle.
The
book
would
talk
about how the
monkey
got
GURA
stuck because
he was stuck on his own emotions
and unable to perform an action
to move on with his life.
Not long after she started writing, Gura herself became stuck.
After countless hours of working on what was a 16-page book,
Gura realized she was stuck in a
similar way the monkey was in
her book. As an outlet, she decided to start a blog.
I just started blogging about
my experiences, Gura said. At
some point, I came up with the
acronym S.T.U.C.K.
Four years after getting stuck
on a children's book, Gura is now
unSTUCK. On June 29, her first
book, appropriately named, Getting unSTUCK, was published
and is now available to purchase
on Amazon.com.
Getting unSTUCK is based
off Gura's blog and details what
Gura calls the S.T.U.C.K. method.
S.T.U.C.K. is an acronym for stop,
tell, uncover, consider and O.K.,
and focuses on freeing a person's
mind from powerful and influential emotions.
Gura was born and raised in
Cherry Hill. She graduated from
Cherry Hill High School East in
1992 and then attended Rutgers
University, where she earned a
bachelor's degree in psychology.
Gura later earned a master's degree in occupational therapy with
a focus on mental health from

Boston University. Shortly thereafter, Gura got a yoga certification and started a company in
California
where
she
brought yoga classes to technology companies.
During that time,
Gura said she
began to learn a
lot about mindfulness and meditation.
In 2002, we moved
back to Cherry Hill,
Gura said. We lived
there for about six years.
It was during those six
years that I started creating workshops for the community.
Gura credited her experiences
and support from many friends
for making her blog such a suc-

cess. After struggling with writing Stuck in the Muck, Gura admits she never thought her blog
would become as big as it did.
People were identifying
with all of my stories, she
said. Its a human experience. We all get stuck on
emotions, our frustrations,
our desires.
People who I didn't
even know across the
world were writing back
and saying, I get it,
that happened to me,'
she added. It was
very encouraging.
Over time, Gura's family and
friends started encouraging her
to try to write another book, this
time aimed for adults and based
on her blog. Through Facebook,

County may pay for, enact lake dredging

COUNTY
Continued from page 1
the facility was responsible for
leaking tanks and improper storage and handling of materials
that resulted in spills and releases, as well as direct discharge of
materials to surrounding waterways.
The area where the EPA is currently working to finalize its next
ROD is whats known as the
Route 561 Dump Site in Gibbsboro, which is 700 feet to the
southeast of the former manufacturing plant and was used to
house discarded waste from the
facility. After dumping ceased at
the area, the site was later partially developed and now includes
businesses, a vacant lot, a small
creek and wetlands.
Richard Puvogel, EPA section
chief of central New Jersey remediation, said the remedy the
EPA has proposed for the Route
561 Dump Site is similar to the
remedy selected for the residential properties last year, as it involves excavating about 23,000
cubic yards of soil contaminated
with lead and arsenic.
However, Puvogel said the plan

is also different in some ways, as

it also involves installing a cap
consisting of soil or asphalt cover
to act as a barrier in parts of the
site to prevent contact of any
residual elements.
As with the work on the residential properties, the EPA anticipates the proposed cleanup of the
Route 561 Dump site, if finalized,
will be conducted and paid for by
Sherwin-Williams under EPA supervision.
EPA press officer Elias Rodriguez said EPA officials will
also coordinate with property
owners during the eventual
cleanup process to minimize inconveniences such as partial road
closures and other issues.
From now through July 12,
members of the public can send
their written comments concerning the cleanup of contaminated
soil at the Route 561 Dump site to:

Kirkwood Lake still sits at the
end of the EPAs schedule for determining cleanup methods for
the Sherwin-Williams related superfund sites in the area, as the
lake is farthest downstream and
there could be recontamination of
the lake upstream. The last projected date for a ROD for Kirkwood Lake was sometime in 2018
or 2019.
Were still running along,
shooting for those targets, Puvogel said.
Puvogel also said the EPA is
still waiting on plans from Camden County regarding a county
proposal to pay for and enact a potential dredging of the lake.
In April, county officials said it
was their belief the lake needed
to be dredged to keep it alive and
to prevent sediment from flowing
to the Cooper River.

Ask about "FUNCTIONAL DRY NEEDLING" for the relief of Neuromuscular Dysfunction

Freeholders offer relief for

families facing childhood
By Freeholder Deputy Director Edward McDonnell
The Freeholder Board
has a groundbreaking
program to assist Camden County families
facing the economic
impact associated with
a childs catastrophic
illness.
One of the most challenging situations a
parent could ever face is responding to a
catastrophic illness affecting their child.
In addition to the emotional toll this
takes on a family, the financial burden
could be devastating.
In order to provide relief for families
facing these issues, the Camden County
Freeholder Board has become the first in
the state to offer financial assistance for
costs associated with a wide array of
medical problems.
The program provides the down payment necessary for items such as purchasing a van to be modified, or
installing stair and chair lifts in the
home. These measures are not only required for proper accessibility, but they
are also important improvements
needed to enhance a familys quality of
life moving forward.
The Camden County Improvement Authority (CCIA) will provide meaningful
financial assistance to Camden County
residents who quality for the states Catastrophic Illness in Children Relief Fund
(CICRF) and are low to moderate income
households according to HUD guidelines. The CCIA will offer the funding in
the form of a loan which will appear as
a lien on the property in question.
The personnel at the CCIA have the expertise to not only assist families navigate through this difficult time, but to
also provide the necessary administra-

tive services requited to

receive reimbursement
from the state program.
The CICRF was established in December of
1989 as a financial resource to help New Jersey families cope with
uncovered medical expenses for their children. The grant program awards a
one-time maximum amount of $5,000
that is to be used for purchases and improvements required for accessibility.
The county program is a major improvement over the state program in
that Camden County can provide financing in advance of these major purchases.
The state program works as a reimbursement program, placing the initial outlay
of funds solely on the family. The loan
can be paid back to the county once the
family has been reimbursed by the state
relief fund.
To further assist families, the Camden
County Freeholder Board created the Division of Programming for People with
Disabilities. For more information the
programs and services offered, please
call (856) 216-2127 or email karenw@camdencounty.com.
If you would like more information

Illness in Children Relief Fund Loan
Program, please contact the CCIA at

Open House: Sunday, July 10, 2016 & Saturday, July 16, 2016 2-4pm

This is for kids in the 21st century. This is for any child to learn
how to think actively, collaborate
and learn how to solve problems,
Cannon said.
Camden County Library System public relations officer Mark
Amorosi echoed those sentiments, and said the library sys-

We think its a valuable program, and for the world kids are

ing email, Gura said. I said, I'm

not an author, I'm not a writer,
here's my blog.
The
publishing
company
showed interest in the idea, and
last fall, Gura began working on
the book. More than eight months
later, Gura described how excited
she was feeling as her book was
about to be released.
In the weeks following the release of Getting unSTUCK,
Gura plans to travel from her current home, Israel, and speak at a
number of locations in South Jersey. She is scheduled to appear at
an UnSTUCK Sisterhood Retreat at Congregation Beth El in
Voorhees on Aug. 6. She also
plans to speak for the Congregation Temple Beth Sholom Sisterhood on Aug. 9 and Temple
Emanuel on Aug. 16. Gura is also
hoping to speak in front of other

organizations during a six-week

visit to the area later this summer.
I'm really experiencing the
feeling of support, she said.
That's what I'm excited to feel
somewhat enveloped in the love
and support of friends from my
hometown.
The release of the book does
not mean the end of Gura's blog.
It can still be found at www.thestuckmethod.com and she continues to update it with her own personal stories.
It's a tool I now have to use to
help me get unSTUCK, Gura
said.
Getting unSTUCK is available for purchase for both print
and Kindle at amazon.com. To
read Gura's blog or for more information, visit www.thestuckmethod.com.
