The ROTC color
guard, students and
teachers march
through the hallways
of Lenape High
School recently to
celebrate Black
History Month.
By SEAN PATRICK MURPHY
The Medford Sun
hey marched around
the high school as
Martin Luther King
Jr.s I Have a
Dream played over
the PA system.
About 200 of them
students, teachers,
and staff from Shawnee,
Lenape, Seneca and Cherokee
high schools converged on
Lenape High School for the
event, a celebration of the life
and legacy of King.
Former Lenape student and
member of the African-Ameri-
can club Troy Riley started the
march a few years ago to recog-
nize the civil rights leader and
to celebrate Black History
Month.
King delivered his speech dur-
ing the march on Washington in
August 1963.
Junior Shayla Farmer, presi-
dent of the Lenape High School
African-American club, thinks
the march is good because it
brings people together. The 16-
year-old said the symbolic march
is an opportunity for students in
other district high schools to get
together.
I hope that everyone takes
away what Martin Luther King
did for us and how weve come to-
gether as a country and as a peo-
ple, Farmer said. Recognizing
him as a person is really good.
Brenda Martin-Lee, business
educator and Seneca multicul-
tural club adviser, said the
turnout was impressive and
commented on the speech.
I think that speech says a lot
about where they were at that
time and where we are now and
it gives the students and staff an
opportunity to stop and think
about what the speech was about
in terms of civil rights, not just
for African-Americans, but for
all people, Martin-Lee said. I
think its great.
Pier Carey, a math teacher at
Seneca, is also co-adviser of the
multicultural club there.
Its a really great way to get
kids from all of our schools to-
gether to reenact what happened

The Medford Sun
While its still unclear exactly
what will be on it, there will be a
referendum vote in Medford next
month.
Most likely there will be a vote
on April 17 on whether to elimi-
nate curbside trash pickup.
Medford Township Adminis-
trator Chris Schultz said such
pickup currently costs each tax-
payer $226 per year.
The referendum was discussed
at a recent council workshop
meeting where the members
opened up the budget discussion
to the public.
I believe the meeting was very
informative for the public,
Schultz said. I understand the
township has not had a budget
workshop like that previously.
He said the residents greatest
concern is the loss of services, es-
pecially trash, and the potential
tax implications.
Medford Police Chief Richard
Meder recently voiced his con-
cern that cutting the police force
drastically would result in more
crime and slow response times.
There were 49 police officers in
Medford in 2009, while there are
28 now.
My hope as chief of police
is that, if they do consider a refer-
endum, that any referendum
would include bringing back
some police officers, Meder said.
At this point, any officers com-
ing back will help me and will
help the public.
Chris Desana, who has lived 15
years in Medford said the work-
shop meeting was spectacular.
Finally. Everything is open to
whats really going on, Desana
said. Its open, transparent and
no arguing.
He said council is absolutely
taking to heart residents con-
cerns.
Desana said he would vote no
on the referendum because he
would rather have people pay for
their own trash.
I dont think the trash pickup
bill you pay should be based on
the value of your house. Id rather
have it based on how much trash I
use, he said. Just because I have
a bigger house doesnt mean I
should pay more for my trash.
Desana also said he thinks the
township should renegotiate po-
lice contracts before hiring offi-
cers back.
Timothy Moore, a 23-year Med-
ford resident, said he appreciated
the openness of the meeting.
That referendum is a good
idea, Moore said. The people
need to have their opinion on
Trash pickup could be
included on referendum
vote slated for April 17
