Another day, another plan for
Bancroft, and another neighbor-
hood with a new set of concerns.
The Haddonfield Public School
District presented its $32 million
site concept plan for the Bancroft
campus to a packed meeting
room of residents last week.
Board of Education President
Steve Weinstein, Superintendent
Richard Perry and Architect Bob
Garrison presented a plan that
would see the installation of sev-
eral athletic fields and a shared
high school and borough library
at the 20-acre campus.
This is more expensive than
any other option presented to the
borough, Weinstein said early in
his presentation. We ask that
you consider the value for your
dollar.
Among the features for the
property would be the construc-
tion of three new athletic fields
one of them an artificial-turf
field and a multi-purpose facili-
ty that could be connected to the
high school and serve as a new li-
brary for the borough.
District figures show that a $30
million bond over 20 years at 4-
percent interest would impact
the average homeowners tax bill
in the borough by about $477 a
year. If the district were to only
borrow $15 million, it would im-
pact the average homeowner at
about $238 a year.
Commissioner Jeff Kasko
noted that the districts fiscal im-
pact estimates were different
than values presented to the bor-
ough at an earlier meeting by Ed
McManimon, Haddonfields rede-
velopment counsel. McManimon
said that a project cost of $14.25
million would result in a munici-
pal tax increase of about $271 for
the average homeowner. Com-
missioner Ed Borden also
brought up the fiscal discrepan-
cies and said they would have to
be addressed by the district.
To help pay for the cost of the
project, Weinstein said the dis-
trict could sell the Radnor Field
property and possibly develop
homes on the land, which ran-
kled several residents near the
athletic complex.
If housing is to be built on
Radnor Field, it would be a horri-
ble location for a development,
said John Stokes, a professional
planner and resident near the
field. There are 31 homes cur-
rently backed up to the field. It
would significant increase the

Forget about slasher movies
this Halloween, why not check
out something thats really scary
and is right in your backyard?
Bill Meehan, author of Haunted
Haddonfield will be offering
walking tours of one of the most
historic cities in all of New Jer-
sey.
With its roots firmly estab-
lished prior to the Revolutionary
War and several buildings noted
on the states historic registry, its
no wonder there have been so
many surviving legends in the
borough.
Meehan will be escorting
groups on Friday, Oct. 28 and Sat-
urday, Oct. 29 beginning at 7 p.m.
at the steps of the Historical Soci-
ety of Haddonfield, 343 Kings
Highway East. The author will
share legends and stories re-
searched for his book during the
Halloween tour.
All proceeds from ticket sales
for the tour will be donated to the
Haddonfield Public Library and
the historic society, Meehan said,
much like the profits from his
book are donated directly to the
historic society as well.
This is the 10th year the local
historian has been giving the
walking tours and the 11th since
his book was published.
A member of the Baby Boomer
generation and a resident of Had-
donfield, Meehan said he and his
wife always felt badly that their
children couldnt experience
trick or treating during the night-
time like they had when they
were children. By the time night
comes around on Halloween,
Meehan said the day is practical-
ly over. Trick or treating is limit-
ed from 2 to 6 p.m. in Haddonfield.
For our generation, it was re-
ally a different world. We were
able to trick or treat at night. We
had lived here for a while and we
felt sorry for our daughter be-
cause we had always trick or
treated at night. It was always
done at night when we were kids,

impact on the neighborhood.
One of the most exciting as-
pects of the proposal, Weinstein
said, is the multi-use facility that
would house a new borough li-
brary. The building would be con-
nected to the high school and
serve as a joint school and munic-
ipal library, Weinstein said. The
facility would also serve as a
technology center, which would
allow the district to expand its
partnership with Drexel Univer-
sity and possibly bring in Rowan
University for a similar partner-
ship. It would be located on the
western side of the property, next
to the high school.
Haddonfield Public Library
board members have shown in-
terest in such a project, he said,
but have not yet fully signed off
on the deal yet.
The proposal would include
both passive and active-open
space, with the construction of a
new artificial turf field, a base-
ball field, softball field and two
athletic practice fields. It would
also include the conversion of
the HMHS football field to a turf
field as well.
The proposal includes 438
parking spaces. It would decrease
the parking impact on nearby
Kings Highway when there are
games or events at the high
school, Weinstein said, an added
bonus.
A one-mile walking trail would
be constructed at the north side
of the site.
Lullworth Hall, the Carriage
House, and the existing green
house would be preserved on the
site. The district said the borough
could possibly lease out these
structures or sell them at their
discretion.
The plan would go a long way
in improving the long-term vi-
sion for the district and help Had-
donfield stand out even more if
regionalization of school dis-
tricts ever becomes a reality,
Perry.
A number of school-district
teachers spoke up at the meeting
and questioned the districts deci-
sion to put forward a concept that
would cost $32 million when it
has been said on a number of oc-
casions that it cant afford salary
raises for district employees. Em-
ployees in the district have been
working without contracts for
more than a year.
Its very demoralizing that a
few days ago the BOE said they
dont have any additional funds
for teachers salaries in the dis-
trict, said John Duffy, a teacher
at Haddonfield Memorial High
School.
Several also asked why so
much funding would be spent for
improving the athletic complexes
