Students running through the Cherry Hill Polices impaired driving simulation course last week had to try to avoid objects such as
basketballs while wearing fatal vision goggles. The basketballs represented pedestrians crossing the road.
Students go through distracted driving course
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
For seniors at Cherry Hill high
schools, the countdown is on for
the June 17 graduation date. Up-
coming are an eventful few
months that include prom, gradu-
ation and summer parties.
The Cherry Hill Police Depart-
ments job is to make sure a sum-
mer of joy doesnt end in tragedy.
The senior class at both high
schools has spent part of May
going through a distracted driv-
ing course meant to be a teaching
tool for students by showing them
the dangers of distracted driving.
Originating in 2010, the police
departments impaired driver
simulation program has the stu-
dents navigate a winding course
of cones. Distractions such as a
basketball simulate pedestrians.
The students drive through the
course as they normally would
and then go through the course
again wearing fatal vision gog-
gles.
Traffic Sgt. Glenn Charney
helps to run the program and said
it has been beneficial in teaching
the students in a practical and en-
gaging manner.
This year, the police depart-
ment has added cell phones to the
program. The police department
received cell phones courtesy of

Figure skater to speak at graduation
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
In high school, Cherry Hill na-
tive Maria Tsakiris was a figure
skater who performed in front of
large audiences on an interna-
tional stage.
Next week, she will be in front
of a large audience again, speak-
ing in front of family and friends
at her college graduation.
A former figure skater who
competed nationally for Greece,
Tsakiris recently completed her
bachelors degree at Rutgers-
Camden and will be a speaker at
the colleges school of business
commencement on May 21.
An Olympic hopeful, Tsakiris
was able to compete for the Greek
national team as a dual citizen.
As she graduated from Cherry
Hill East, she hoped to continue
skating during her college career.
The plan was actually to keep
skating, Tsakiris said. I wanted
to apply to schools locally and
keep training.
However, just before she began
school in the fall of 2011, she re-
ceived a call from Greece. Be-
cause of the countrys financial
troubles, it did not have the fund-
ing to allow her to continue skat-
ing.
While the news was upsetting,
Tsakiris quickly shifted her focus
entirely on school.
I miss the sport, but the tran-
sition was very easy because I am
a hard worker, she said. Once I
concentrate on something, Im
completely focused.
With her focus entirely on
school, Tsakiris considered a
number of possible career paths.
Her dad, who owns a granite and
marble shop, ultimately motivat-
ed her to get into business.
From there, Tsakiris took the
fast track, taking an extra course
load to finish her degree in three
years. While the extra classes
could be intimidating to some,
Tsakiris focus allowed her to
forge ahead.
I am the kind of person who
takes off running and doesnt
stop, she said.
Tsakiris career prospects took
a big leap forward when she
began an internship with Mor-
gan Stanley last May. She became
acquainted with the company
through Rutgers business leader
development program and con-
tinues to intern there today, work-
ing with financial advisors in
wealth management. Tsakiris is
hoping to pursue a career in fi-
nancial planning.
For a time this fall, Tsakiris
was overwhelmed with classes,
her internship and a teaching as-
sistant position. It was the first
real time when she admits she
had trouble balancing the work-
load.
Last semester in the fall was
one of the most difficult semes-
ters in my college career, she
said.
I had a lot of very late nights,
and if it wasnt for my boyfriend
and my mom, I wouldnt make it
out.

Joseph R. Parker
May 6, 2014
Joseph R. Parker passed away
at the age of 97. Joe was born in
Grand Island,
Neb., on May
8, 1916, to par-
ents William
Henry Parker
and Pearl
Parkins Park-
er. In 1942, Joe
graduated
with honors
from the Uni-
versity of Ne-
braska with a
degree in electrical engineering,
a member of Pi Mu Epsilon, the
honorary national mathematics
society, and Sigma Tau, the engi-
neering honor society. In 1952,

University of Pennsylvania.
Joe and the late Mary Molly

ried in 1948 in the First Presbyte-
rian Church of Haddonfield

choir. The couple had four chil-
dren together. Joe worked for
RCA in Camden from 1942 until
1963 when he accepted a job with
the Los Alamos National Labora-
tory in New Mexico where he
worked until 1994. Joe quickly fell
in love with the Los Alamos area
where he enjoyed skiing and hik-
ing the canyons and mountains
near their home. Joe and son
John together built a cabin in the
Jemez Mountains, which became
a favorite family getaway. In 1999,
Joe and Molly moved back to
Cherry Hill to be with their
beloved First Presbyterian
Church of Haddonfield family
and extended family and friends.
Joe was diagnosed with Parkin-
sons disease and in 2009, the cou-
ple moved to a retirement home

daughter Kate and family.
Joe was passionately interest-

avid photographer, he document-
ed their family life, trips and na-
ture.

For many Americans, Memorial Day sig-
nifies the beginning of summer. Its a day
for picnics, barbecues and family gather-
ings. Its a day at the beach; a sign that its
time to open up the swimming pool; a sign
that the kids will soon be finished with
school.
But in the midst of these festivities, I be-
lieve too many of us overlook the holidays
true meaning. Memorial Day, after all, was
founded as a day of remembrance of those
whove died in service to our country; of
those whove made the ultimate sacrifice
in defending our countrys freedom
throughout the world from the Civil War
to the World Wars, to Vietnam and Korea,
to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Memorial Day is one of our nations
most significant
holidays, when we
remember those
who selflessly laid
down their lives to
ensure that we can
live our lives free
from fear and op-
pression.
Locally, it is a
day to remember
young men like Lt.
Col. John Spahr
and Capt. Gregory
Dalessio, who
were killed in Iraq in 2005 and 2008; and
Lance Cpl. Jeremy Kane, who was killed in
Afghanistan in 2010.
This year, instead of simply celebrating
a day off from work and school, I invite all
Cherry Hill residents to join us for the
townships annual Memorial Day tribute,
at 11 a.m. Monday, May 26, on the grounds
of the township Municipal Complex.
Along with members of American Le-
gion Post 372, Jewish War Veterans Post
126, and men and women from around our
community, we will gather together to
honor these hometown heroes and the
more than 1.3 million others who have
made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense
of the United States throughout history.
The afternoon also includes recognition
of veterans who passed away in 2012, a mu-
Dont overlook Memorial Days true meaning

ell phones are one of the great-
est inventions of the last 30
years. Coupled with other tech-
nological advances such as wireless
internet and the creation of social
media, cell phones have given us the
ability to connect to the world in the
palm of our hand no matter where we
go.
In misguided or uneducated hands,
though, cell phones can be dangerous.
Criminals use cell phones to plan and
execute crimes. They can be used to
perpetuate hate. They can be used at
the wrong time, such as behind the
wheel, and be the cause of life-threat-
ening circumstances to others.
And in schools, in the hands of kids
who dont fully grasp the effects of
their actions, they can be objects that
promote cruelty and lewdness, and
can seriously damage a childs future.
A middle school in Basking Ridge in
Somerset County is dealing with this
situation right now. Last week, admin-
istrators said they found nude photos
of students on several cell phones. The
districts superintendent sent a letter
about the incident to parents, inform-
ing them of a deadline for children to
delete the images, otherwise theyd
face disciplinary action through the
school and possibly criminal charges
from the county prosecutors office.
Because the nude pictures were of
middle school students, under the age
of 16, it would be classified as child
pornography.
Monitoring a childs cell phone
usage which includes their calls,
texts, video chats, web browsing and
social media usage is ultimately the
parents job, much like monitoring
what they watch on TV or look at on
the computer at home.
But it may be time for schools to
step up, too, and take a proactive ap-
proach with education. Schools al-
ready take on tough subjects with
young students, such as educating
them about stranger danger and sex
education.
Today, this education should expand
to include the potential dangers of tex-
ting, sharing and social media usage.
Cell phones are great. Texting is
great. Facebook is great. Twitter is
great. And so is everything else you
can do on a phone.
But if its not done properly, with
the right education and guidance, it
can go tragically wrong with the tap of
a touchscreen.
Those phones can be dangerous
Schools should take proactive approach to cell phone, social media education
Your thoughts
Should schools play a larger role in edu-
cating students about the dangers of cell
phones? Share your thoughts on this, and
other topics, in a letter to the editor.

The following information was
provided by the Cherry Hill Po-
lice Department.
On May 9 at 3:55 a.m., Cherry
Hill Police responded to the 1900
block of Country Club Drive for
the report of an audible car
alarm. A witness reported seeing
a male running from her neigh-
bors Jeep. Officers quickly initi-
ated a sector search and located a
male walking along the store
fronts at the Holly Ravine Shop-
ping Center.
The male, a 29-year-old from
Voorhees, was detained and
through investigation police
learned that he was in possession
of stolen proceeds including an
Apple iPod, prescription medica-
tion and a large bag full of loose
change.
The proceeds were confirmed
stolen from several unlocked ve-
hicles in the area of Country
Club Drive.
The male was arrested and
charged with two counts of bur-
glary and was remanded to the
Camden County Jail in default of
$50,000 full cash bail.
Additional charges are pend-
ing as the same suspect is be-
lieved to be responsible for
dozens of similar break-ins over
the last few weeks.
