Adam Felker does not remem-ber how he became so interestedin sports. All he knows is, for aslong as he can remember, he hasloved them.
I guess I started playing whenI was 4 or 5 years old, Felkersaid. Whether its on televisionor playing them, I have just al-ways loved sports.
Felker got the chance to play onone of the biggest stages at theSpecial Olympics in June. He wasa member of the New Jersey soft-ball team that won a silver medal.
It was a lot of fun, Felkersaid. I got to play a lot of differ-ent positions, and winning was
great.Felker plays softball all year
and his mom, Donna, credits theSpecial Olympics with allowinghim to stay active.
The Special Olympics is a phe-nomenal program, she said.Were not a sports family, butAdam just loves them so muchand the Special Olympics has al-lowed him to keep playing. Hell
be able to play forever, and that iswonderful.
The Special Olympics is not theonly program that has made a dif-ference in Felkers life, though.As part of the Jewish Family andChildrens Service, Felker beganworking at the Voorhees adminis-tration office eight years ago.
The program allows thosewith special needs to work inVoorhees, Township Adminis-trator Larry Spellman said.Adam has been a great additionto our office. He is someone every-one looks forward to seeing in themorning.
In the office, Felker is alwaysready to do whatever task isasked of him, a trait he learnedon the softball field.
You always have to be ready todo whatever youre asked to do,Felker said. Its like a family inthe office, the same way its like afamily in sports.
Now that the Special Olympicsare over, Felker will be rejoininghis local recreation team and re-suming his work at the adminis-

PSE&G workers rush to put up power lines after thunderstorms ravaged Voorhees on July 15. Thestorms caused a lot of damage to the town, with fallen branches and power lines lining thestreets. Cleanup workers were busy throughout much of the day, clearing the debris from theroad and putting up power lines, which left much of the town without power during Monday nightand Tuesday morning.
It was quite a storm

The Voorhees Township Com-mittee agreed to the sale of $9.7million in general obligationbonds at its meeting on July 14.
The bonds consist of $5.8 mil-
lion in municipal building bonds,$2.8 million in general improve-ment bonds and $1.1 million insewer utility bonds.
The biggest thing were hop-ing to get from the sale of thesebonds is to pay for Town Hall,Township Administrator LarrySpellman said.
Of the total, $5.8 million will gotoward that payment.
Voorhees moved into the newTown Hall on May 16, 2011. Theagreement the township reachedwith Pennsylvania Real Estate In-vestment Trust allowed the town-ship to move its offices to the newbuilding at a reduced price.
PREIT has been wonderful
during this entire process, Spell-man said. They have comethrough on every part of theagreement we made. Its been agreat couple of years in the newbuilding.
The initial agreement took intoaccount the anticipated sale of
the old municipal complex. Thetownship has received a letter ofintent to buy the old building,which, combined with the sale ofthe bonds, will allow it to pay offthe new building.
As great as its been havingthis new building, it will be evenbetter when we own it ourselves,Spellman said. The bonds andthe letter of intent will give us thechance to do that.
The move to Town Center hasbeen beneficial to both sides.Town Center has gotten morebusinesses to relocate as a resultof the township moving there,and the township got a new build-ing at a reduced price, officials
said.The relationship between the
township and PREIT has beengreat for the town. PREIT saidthat more businesses would cometo Town Center if we came here,and they were right, Spellmansaid. The move has been perfect
for both parties.The committee also awarded
Gerald A. Barrett, LLC a $950,416contract for road repairs.
Spellman expects the roadworkto begin by Aug. 1, now that thecontract has been awarded.
The hope is that if the road-work is started by Aug. 1, it willbe done by Labor Day, Spellmansaid. We definitely want to get asmuch of the roadwork out of theway before school starts and thetraffic begins to get busy again.
In other news: The township awarded Ran-
some a contract for one largedump truck with a plow for$148,396.
The township accepted the re-tirement of township truck driv-er Billy Nees, effective Aug. 1.
The next Township Commit-tee Meeting will take place onAug. 11 at 7:30 p.m.

The opportunities to play inthe offseason are more difficult,according to his mom. There arefar fewer special needs teamsavailable, but she does not let that
hold her back from allowing himto continue to do what he loves.
Between the Special Olympicsand his job with the township, hewill be able to stay active, Donnasaid. Both of these programshave had a huge impact on hislife, and they have taught him alot. They are great programs, andthey make the kids feel impor-tant, which is something that ishard to find.

No need to increase tippedpayState government shouldnt increase minimum wage for tipped workers
You may have noticed signs throughoutVoorhees with this slogan encouraging res-idents to assist our police department inpreventing criminal activity. Crime pre-vention is the anticipation, recognitionand appraisal of a crime risk and takingaction to remove or reduce the risk. If you
see a crime in progress or suspicious activ-ity, or hear something strange such as acrash, loud bang or scream, you should im-mediately contact the Voorhees TownshipPolice Department. Try to provide as muchinformation as possible. In an emergency,
dial 911. In a non-emergency, call(856) 428-5400. Thepolice department'sAnonymous CrimeTip Line is (856)627-7174.
Also, since thisis a popular timefor leaving yourhouse unoccupiedto go on vacation,our police depart-

MAYORS MESSAGE
See it. Hear it. Report it.
please see NEXT, page 7
Were all for workers rights.
Were all for equal and fair
pay. Were all for providing
people who work hard with a good liv-
ing, no matter what they choose to do.
However, were not for government-
mandated raises, especially for work-
ers who typically make more thanminimum wage.
New Jersey Policy Perspective is
urging lawmakers to increase the
states minimum wage for tipped em-
ployees from $2.13 per hour to $5.69 per
hour a 167 percent increase. The As-
sembly Labor Committee passed such
a bill in March.
The group argues tipped workersearn less than twice that of their non-
tipped counterparts and, as a result,
are more likely to live near the poverty
line.
The non-profit Economic Policy In-
stitute, which suggests paying tipped
workers the same minimum wage as
non-tipped workers, $8.25, says tipped
workers have a poverty rate twice that
of non-tipped workers, are more likely
to rely on public assistance and lesslikely to receive benefits such as paid-
time off and health coverage.
Tipped workers in this state havent
had a raise in their minimum wage
since 1991, sitting at $2.13 per hour
the federal minimum for more than
20 years.
But this is where the controversy be-
gins. The New Jersey Restaurant Asso-
ciation opposes the increase, obviously,
and it has a very good point. The asso-
ciations president, Marilou Halvors-
en, reminds us that tipped workers are
guaranteed to make at least the states
minimum wage of $8.25; if they leave
making less than that in tips, the em-
ployer is obligated to make up the dif-
ference, she said.
So whats the fuss about, then?
Halvorsen says a survey of the associa-
tions membership found that tipped
workers earn between $15-$16 per hour
on average. Extrapolate that over a 40-
hour week, and thats a salary north of
$30,000 per year.
Seems to us the system currently in
place protects tipped workers just fine.Giving them the proposed $3.56-per-
hour raise would equate to an addi-
tional $7,404.80 per year, per employee
based on a 40-hour work week, for a
total salary of almost $40,000 per year.
And the difference in salary would
come out of the business pocket.
If these businesses are required to
pay that difference, it wouldnt be sur-prising if they simply laid off a tipped
worker or two and got by with a small-
er staff. That would accomplish almost
exactly the opposite of what these
groups, and the proposed bill, seek to
do. We urge the Legislature to resist
passing this bill. Tipped workers are
already compensated at appropriate
levels.
And well continue to tip 20 percent.

Museum pass program popularamong County Library members
Camden County
Library members
are taking full advan-
tage of a new pro-
gram that allows
them to check out
passes to 10 muse-
ums and attractions
throughout the re-
gion.
The program is
quickly becoming one of the most
used services at the library, and Ive
been hearing good things from
members about their trips and expe-
riences. The program began at the
beginning of July, just in time for
family summer vacations. If you re-side in a member community, I urge
you to check out this great opportu-
nity to save money when you visit
some of the best museums in the
area.
Passes to the Academy of Natural
Sciences, Garden State Discovery
Museum, Grounds for Sculpture,
Morris Arboretum, Wheaton Arts
and Woodford Wildlife Refuge are
available from any of the librarys
eight branches. Passes to the
Guggenheim, Penn Museum of Ar-
chaeology, Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts and the Roebling
Museum are only available from the
M. Allan Vogelson Regional Branch
Library in Voorhees. Each institu-
tion sets the number of visitors that
will receive free admission on a
pass.
The Camden County Library Sys-
tem is pleased to offer their mem-
bers the opportunity to visit some
of the great local museums andother attractions that the Delaware
Valley has to offer. Its a great part-
nership with local institutions that
extends the librarys mission to
meet the educational and recre-
ational needs of the residents they
serve. In addition, it adds just one
more value to own-
ing a Camden
County Library Sys-
tem card.
The pass program
works similarly to
borrowing books
from the library.
Adult cardholders in
good standing (with
less than $5 in fines)
may check out up to one museum
pass at a time. Members are wel-
come to go to a branch, check out a
pass, use it for free admission to the
specific museum and return it to
the library branch for the next
member to borrow. A museum passmust be returned to the same
branch from which it was checked
out.
Each pass may be checked out for
up to four days and cannot be re-
newed. Only one pass at a time is al-
lowed per family. The late fee is $5
per day, up to the full cost of the
pass. The borrower is responsible
for the full cost of any lost or stolen
passes. Some of the passes may en-
title the bearer to additional bene-
fits like discounts at gift shops or on
food sold at the museums.
Visit the Camden County Li-
brarys museum pass webpage at
www.camdencountylibrary.org/pas
s to learn what each participating
institution offers visitors with a
pass. There you can also find your
local branch of the Camden County
Library System, along with a list of
member communities.
