The food, packed by students and theirfamilies at ET Hamilton, provided 19 Thanksgiving dinners for local families through the Building Bridges Family Success Center inClementon and for several families at the school itself.

    Thanksgiving for the less fortunate Champs

    onceagain

    By MIKE MONOSTRAThe Sun

    This year’s Tournament of Champions was different thanany Eastern Regional HighSchool field hockey had experi-enced before.

    The Vikings entered the tour-nament having won 17 consecu-tive Group IV state champi-onships, 73 consecutive games

    and having gone unbeaten in 130consecutive games.

    However, this year, seeding forthe Tournament of Champions infield hockey was done with powerpoints. Because of this, Easternwas the No. 4 seed in the tourna-ment and would have to win threegames, instead of two as in years

    2 THE VOORHEES SUN — DEC. 2–8, 2015

    By ZANE CLARKThe Sun

    Students at Eastern RegionalHigh School who need extra helpunderstanding a difficult conceptin a class or preparing for a testcan always find assistance withEastern’s Academic Support Pro-gram.

    Held after school on days whenlate buses are available, the pro-gram attracts about 30 students a

    day from all academic levels tospend time with teachers and getindividualized help in subjectssuch as math, biology, chemistry,English, social studies, physicsand world languages.

    At the most recent meeting of the Eastern Camden County Re-gional School District Board of Education, teachers from the pro-gram gave an overview of theprogram's success.

    Program coordinator and socialstudies teacher Maryann Walkersaid for the past six or seven years,the program has grown into al-most its own community, and hasearned positive reviews frommany at the school.

    Walker read testimonials fromseveral staff members, includingguidance counselor Sheri Lat-timer who wrote she always en-courages students to use the sup-ports offered by the program, and

    English teacher Christine Leasonwho wrote it was important forstudents to have the opportunityto conduct one-on-one confer-ences.

    “Seeing the same studenttransform from confused to confi-dent feeling 100 percent betterabout their academic abilities ispriceless,” Leason’s letter stated.

    Eastern’s after-school AcademicSupport Program garnershigh praise from teachers

    The Voorhees Township Police Depart-ment has two new initiatives to increasepublic safety for our residents. We now

    have a Safe Exchange Zone at our policeheadquarters and a NextDoor applicationis now live.

    The Safe Exchange Zone is designed tohelp protect our residents as robberies,thefts and scams become more prevalentwith online transaction sites such asCraigslist. The Safe Exchange Zone is setup in the parking lot in front of the policebuilding located at 1180 White Horse Road.The lighting in the area has been upgradedand is monitored 24 hours a day by a state-of-the-art camera surveillance system. If ameeting with a stranger is arranged to con-

    duct an online transaction, the Safe Ex-change Zone is now available for yourpeace of mind. Signs are posted stating thearea is under 24-hour surveillance by ourpolice. Municipal employees are not avail-able for legal advice or allowed to settle dis-

    putes between par-ties involved intransactions occur-

    ring at the policestation. Transac-tions involvingweapons, drugs ordrug parapherna-lia are barred fromthe Safe ExchangeZone.

    NextDoor is anapplication that al-lows residents tosign up to shareinformation con-cerning their

    neighborhood viathe Internet, simi-lar to a communi-ty bulletin board. Neighbors can postthings such as parties, items for sale, lostor found animals, helping neighbors in

    need, etc. Through a privacy filter, the po-lice will monitor topics being discussed onNextDoor. Our police cannot view the actu-

    al conversations between residents, butwill see the topics and can respond if atopic is police-related, such as crimes,home security, suspicious activity orspeeding. Our police can reach out to theparties and get involved if requested. Resi-dents can also contact our police depart-ment directly through this site. The site isbeing equated to “The NeighborhoodWatch” of the future. You can sign up atthe free site at www.nextdoor.com.

    As the holiday shopping season

    is now officially underway, po-

    lice departments across the

    country are on high alert. That’s be-

    cause, at this time of year, unfortu-

    nately, criminals are everywhere look-

    ing to take advantage of unassuming

    shoppers who are just trying to enjoythe season.

    The criminals go out to malls, down-

    town shopping areas and other retail

    hotspots just like the rest of us – but

    they, instead, are after the goods we’re

    buying, and the cash and cards that

    we’re carrying.

    It’s scary. And it’s sad. But it’s a real-

    ity of the world in which we live.

    With online shopping as prevalent

    as it is, and especially with peer-to-

    peer sites such as Craigslist so com-

    monplace, we’re glad to see that local

    police departments are stepping in tohelp the honest shoppers as best they

    can.

    Recently, the Cherry Hill and

    Voorhees police departments an-

    nounced a program available to the

    residents of its town. The department

    is providing two “safe zones” – one

    outside in the parking lot, and one in-

    side the lobby –where people can con-duct legal peer-to-peer transactions.

    Each location is equipped with secu-

    rity cameras that will record all activi-

    ty in the zones, 24 hours a day, seven

    days a week.

    The Cherry Hill and Voorhees pro-

    grams are timely, of course, with these

    types of transactions becoming more

    popular at this time of year. Neighbor-

    ing Evesham Township released a

    similar program of its own in April.Police departments play a huge role

    in making people feel safe. Their job is

    not just to pull drivers over and arrest

    criminals.

    We couldn’t be happier about the

    “safe zones” program in Cherry Hill

    and Evesham, and we urge police de-

    partments in other towns to offer simi-

    lar programs. If other towns do offer

    the “safe zones” program, please re-

    mind your residents of it, and urge

    them to use it.

    in our opinion

    Police provide online protection All departments should help online buyers a nd sel lers with ‘safe zones’

    Your thoughts

    What are your thoughts on policedepartments’ use of “safe zones” forpeer-to-peer transactions? Share yourthoughts through a letter to the editor.

    Writer: Solar panelsaren’t the problem

    I am penning this letter on aday when I read that another nu-clear power plant in Salem Coun-ty is being considered to quenchour insatiable need for energy.This follows the controversialproposal to construct a gaspipeline through the Pinelands tofurther meet our energy de-mands.

    Now, I read resident RonRichards’ letter to the editor chas-tising Voorhees Township for ap-proving "dangerous commercialdevelopment" by approving solar

    panel installation on land thatcan be used for little else. What

    are we to do as a society?My wife and I had solar panels

    installed on our roof this pastyear. If only Mr. Richards hadwritten sooner, I could have avoid-ed this catastrophic decision. Lit-tle did we know that these solarpanels are "dangerous polluters"which jeopardize our grandchil-dren with "electromagnetic radia-tion." Further, something shouldbe done to help consumers avoidsolar company tactics similar tothe lies the "tobacco industry toldus about cigarettes."

    I await Mr. Richards’ next let-ter. I hope his auto pollution re-view is written before I make the

    mistake of buying another Prius.Jim O'Connell

    Class sizes at ET Hamilton Ele-mentary School were once againthe focus of the public commentportion of the Voorhees Town-ship Board of Education meeting.

    At the board’s Nov. 23 meeting,several parents spoke about whatthey categorized as the “unac-

    ceptably large” fourth-grade classsizes at the school where oneclass consists of 26 children andtwo classes consist of 27 childreneach.

    Parent Eliza Comodromos-Lan-gan, who has a fourth-grade stu-dent at the school, said tightlypacked classrooms are adverselyaffecting the learning experienceof all children, especially in theclassrooms where there’s a solo

    teacher and no instructional aid.“Kids are distracted and teach-

    ers are overwhelmed, all of whichcould have been avoided and canbe avoided if class sizes arecapped at a reasonable number,”Comodromos-Langan said.

    Comodromos-Langan present-ed the board with a petitionsigned by ET Hamilton parentsthat called for several remedies.

    Those fixes included adding in-structional aides for the currentschool year to classrooms wherethere are none for English lan-guage arts and math teachers, en-suring that for the 2016-2017school year, ET Hamilton’s fifthgrade will consist of four classesas it does now and, starting in the2016-2017 school year, implement-ing a cap on class sizes of roughly22 children.

    Another ET Hamilton parentwith a fourth grader to speak atthe meeting was Alisia Whitcraft,who said her daughter camehome on the first day of schoolcomplaining that her legs werepressed against the room’s smartboard because it was so crowded.

    Whitcraft said a single teacherwith no aid can’t give individualassistance in a room with 27 stu-

    dents, and she feared middle- andlower-level learners won’t get thehelp they need, and the higher-level learners would be left tofend for themselves.

    “I feel like our test scores aregoing to go down based on thistrend and our achievement gap isnot going to close,” Whitcraftsaid.

    The program’s other coordina-tor, science teacher ZabrinaThompson, said this year’s pro-gram has more than 30 teachersinvolved and has helped up to 250students thus far.

    Thompson thanked the boardfor its continued support of theprogram, which she said has beeninvaluable over the past severalyears.

    Regina Bosworth, a mathteacher involved with the pro-gram since its inception, said theprogram was especially great forstudents in math, which she saidtended to be a heavily populatedsubject matter for students look-ing for assistance.

    “If their math teacher isn’tavailable after school for extrahelp, they can come and get extrahelp from one of the two mathteachers that are there every day,”Bosworth said. “We do have two

    math teachers as opposed to everyother subject that only has one.”

    Bosworth also noted that theNational Honor Society tutors arealso involved with the program

    every day should math teachersbe busy or have a big group of students seeking help.

    Science teacher Tracey Woj-don-Smith, who has also beenwith the program since the begin-ning, said another benefit is if students don’t understand theway their teacher explains some-thing in the classroom, differentteachers are involved with theprogram to explain things a dif-ferent way.

    Wojdon-Smith said she recent-ly suggested such to even her ownstudents after she taught a partic-ularly difficult concept and was-n’t available after school herself.

    “Go and see another teacherwho might explain it slightly dif-ferently and then they can get it,”Wojdon-Smith said.

    Superintendent Harold Melle-by Jr. said he wanted to thank allteachers involved with the pro-

    gram for their efforts and com-mitment, and noted he had ob-served the popularity of the pro-gram firsthand.

    “It’s great that the students take

    advantage of this,” Melleby said.“I’ve been over there after school.It is packed, and the feedback I’vereceived has been very positive.”

    past, to win a fourth straight TOCtitle.

    Despite the extra hurdle, East-ern prevailed. It defeated ShoreRegional, 12-0, Warren Hills, 4-1,and Oak Knoll, 5-0, in a span of five days to win the 2015 Tourna-ment of Champions. The Vikingshave seven of the nine Tourna-ment of Champions titles since itbegan for field hockey in 2006.

    Head coach Danyle Heilig saidbeing seeded fourth in the tourna-ment despite being ranked No. 1in the MaxFieldHockey.com na-tional ranking was motivation forthe Vikings.

    “We knew that our powerpoints were not great, but I don’tthink we ever envisioned we’d befourth and playing in a play-ingame,” Heilig said. “The kidswere really focused on making astatement. They couldn’t haveplayed any better. We couldn’t

    have played any stronger.”Having to play in a play-in

    game in the TOC was challengingin many ways. The way the sched-ule was constructed, Eastern had

    to play its Group IV champi-onship game and the three Tour-nament of Champions games in aspan of seven days, leaving theteam with little time to recover.Heilig believes that final stretchwas the toughest point of the sea-son.

    “Emotionally, to get up for fourenormous games and to play anevery other day schedule, that’svery challenging on your bodyand your mind, and to play thatlevel of competition, four gamesin seven days,” Heilig said.

    The Tournament of Championswas the culmination of a fifth con-secutive undefeated season forEastern. The Vikings last loss wasin the 2010 Tournament of Cham-pions final, 4-2, against Oak Knoll.

    The five seniors on Eastern arethe second straight class thatcompleted its high school careerswithout losing a game. Watching

    the seniors come away with onemore championship on Nov. 20was a proud moment for Heilig.She said this year’s senior classstood out because of its dedica-

    tion to the team and its workethic.

    “Everything that was everdone was driven by the program,”Heilig said. “They were a groupthat never thought of themselvesas individuals, not for a second.”

    Eastern entered the 2015 sea-son without a key piece from theprevious year. Austyn Cuneo, theall-time national high school ca-reer goal-scoring leader with 328goals, graduated in June, mean-ing the Vikings would need tolook for multiple players to pickup the slack.

    Multiple players stepped up tothe plate on offense. Senior NikkiSantore led the team with 69 goalsand senior Madison Moranchipped in with 44.

    “We had a lot of people con-tributing to scoring,” Heilig said.“I think it’s just a matter of themfilling that need.”

    Heilig said a number of under-classmen made large strides this

    season. She believes juniorsMackenzie Keegan, Alexis Petti-sani and Ashley Thomas werethree of the most improved play-ers this season and will be keycontributors in 2016.

    “The three of them reallyemerged and had really strongseasons for us,” Heilig said.“They were always good hockeyplayers and earned their startingpositions.”

    The 2016 season could be a his-toric one for Eastern. The team

    will enter the season 21 gamesaway from breaking its own na-tional record for longest unbeatenstreak. Eastern set the currentrecord of 153 games from 1999 to2005.

    However, Heilig reiterated herteam isn’t focused on streaks ormilestones. Eastern is going totreat next season just like everyother and focus on winning an-other conference, sectional, stateand TOC title.

    “Our role is to not really fo-cused on (streaks) and to remainfocus on the task at hand,” Heiligsaid. “We can’t control the past,and we can’t control the future.”

    Camden County celebrated

    National Adoption Day

    As a mother there isnothing more moving

    than watching a childembrace their newfamily for the firsttime. The FreeholderBoard and Office of the Surrogate havebeen connecting ap-preciative childrenwith loving familiesas part of National Adoption Day forthe last 12 years. Last week wemarked National Adoption Day onNov. 20 and 48 beautiful children had

    their adoptions finalized to join theirnew parents.The Surrogate’s office and the Free-

    holder Board mark the yearly occa-sion by hosting a full day of adop tionsupport and awareness activities.The day began with a luncheon in theSurrogate’s Office for the childrenand their new families before head-ing to the courtroom for the formallegal proceedings.The day brought together adoptive

    parents, the Surrogate’s Court staff,adoption professionals, judges and at-torneys to celebrate and honor thefamilies who are finalizing their finalstep in creating and building a family.I congratulate the staff of the Surro-gate Office for the important workthey do in matching a child with lov-ing parents inside a stable home.This is done not just on NationalAdoption Day but throughout theyear as they help adoptive parentswelcome new additions to their fami-

    lies.Camden is consistently among the

    counties in New Jersey that finalizethe highest number of adoptions peryear. These adoptions represent thefull spectrum of cases facilitated bythe Surrogate’s Court throughout theyear, including domestic and interna-tional adoptions as well as adoptionsfacilitated through private agenciesand the New Jersey State Depart-

    ment of Children andFamilies.

    The Camden CountySurrogate’s Courtalso finalizes thelargest number of in-ternational, or HagueAdoption Convention,cases in the state eachyear. The HagueAdoption Convention

    established international standardsof practices for inter-country adop-tions that have been followed in theUnited States since 2008.

    Recent figures indicate that over twopercent of all U.S. children areadopted and that about 60 percent of Americans know someone who hasbeen adopted or has adopted. Infor-mational expos and programs such asthose hosted by the Camden CountySurrogate’s Court are instrumentalin placing children in a stable home.Adoption Day is a national initiative

    to raise awareness of the more than100,000 children in foster care waitingto find permanent, loving families.This annual event has made thedreams of thousands of childrenacross our country come true by fi-nalizing the creation of adoptive fam-ilies and moving children from fostercare to their new homes.The Surrogate Court acts as the

    Deputy Clerk of the Superior Court,Family Part for adoptions. For moreinformation on adopting in CamdenCounty, please contact the Office of the Surrogate by phone at (856) 225-

    Whitcraft also questioned whythe district didn’t work to avoidthe situation when it saw a largernumber of new students register-ing for the fourth grade duringthe summer.

    “I used to work in Cherry Hillas an assistant principal – inCherry Hill they cap theirschools, they send them to otherschools that are less crowded. Wedidn’t do that. We had a problemthat we knew about and we didn’tfix it and we let it occur.”

    Parent Jason Ravitz alsoagreed that fourth-grade teachersneed more help and shouldn’t beheld at fault if students’ gradeswere to drop in classrooms withso many children.

    During this semester, Ravitzsaid his daughter specifically toldhim she was not getting as muchindividual attention as she had inthe past.

    “These 10-year-old kids – theyknow the difference,” Ravitz said.“It’s not the parents. The kidsalerted us to this. The kids wantto learn.”

    Superintendent Raymond J.Brosel Jr. thanked all the parentsfor voicing their concerns, andsaid while the district had no spe-

    cific answers that evening, he didwant to set up a meeting withsome of the parents to discusswhat can be done.

    “We would like to come downand meet at ET Hamilton Schooland discuss what we can do forthis year and plan for next year,”Brosel said.

    At a past BOE meeting wherethe issue of fourth-grade classsizes at ET Hamilton was ad-dressed, assistant superintendentof curriculum and instruction Dr.Diane Young noted that everyyear the district attempts to bal-ance class sizes across the dis-trict, but in the past there havebeen instances of pockets wherenumbers were higher.

    The holidays are right aroundthe corner, but it just wouldn’t be

    the holidays without the timelessballet “The Nutcracker.”

    South Jersey Ballet Theatre isno exception in putting on thisclassic performance each year.

    For years, under the directionof artistic director Andrea Duf-fin, SJBT has astonished the pub-lic with beautiful dancers andmajestic choreography that capti-vate minds and hearts.

    In December, many youngSouth Jersey dancers will partici-pate in this classic ballet.

    The dancers have been hard atwork rehearsing since their audi-tions in August.

    The female lead roles of “TheNutcracker” are performed bysenior company members andwith weekend rehearsals and sev-eral dance classes during theweek, these girls are dedicated toperfecting their parts.

    For three dancers, this yearhas extra meaning as their timeon stage of this spectacular pro-

    duction comes to an end. For sen-iors Lena Barone, GuineverePepe and Amanda Valentino, thiswill be their final performance.

    Barone and Pepe, seniors of Cherokee High School, have beenparticipating in “The Nutcrack-er” since age 5. It will be their12th and final year with SJBT.

    "Performing in ‘The Nutcrack-er’ has been such an amazing ex-perience. I am happy that it has

    been such a big part of my life,"said Pepe, who has been cast as

    the Dew Drop Fairy.Barone, who started as a

    mouse, will be playing the lead asClara.

    “I have had experiences andmade memories that will last mea lifetime,” Barone said. “I will al-ways look back and see howmuch happiness it brought to meduring the holiday season eachyear!”

    For Valentino, this will be herfinal performance as the Sug-arplum Fairy before pursuing a

    professional career in ballet.“Dancing at South Jersey Bal-

    let has provided me with so manyopportunities,” Valentino said. “Iam sad that this will be my lastyear performing with all the won-derful girls.
