Wallace
elected
mayor
By KATRINA GRANT
The Washington Twp. Sun
Barbara Wallace was elected
mayor in Washington Township in
last weeks election. Wallace, a De-
mocrat, ran against Kevin Mur-
phy, a Republican.
It was a fantastic experience
for me, Murphy said. It was 90
days of a great opportunity to ex-
perience and look at all the differ-
ent issues facing Washington
Township. I had a chance to listen
to the residents and see what they
needed.
It felt great to be elected, Wal-
lace said. Im very excited and
ready to work. I am humbled by all
the people that believed in me and
supported me. I look to gain every-
ones support. Ive met my staff. Its
very gratifying. Im anxious and
waiting to begin.
Although Murphy did not win,
this might not be the last time he
runs.
Its too early to tell right now,
but it is possible, Murphy said.
We got a great response and a
tremendous amount of support for
this campaign. I may stay involved
in politics. We also got a quite a bit
of support statewide, so I might ex-
plore that. It was flattering and
humbling to see the response that
a fresh face and new ideas brought
to municipal government.
In addition to being elected, Wal-
lace also enjoyed the process of
campaigning.
I was energized and invigorat-
ed to be campaigning, Wallace
said. Ive always been involved
with campaigning since I was 19,
either being a part of them or run-
ning them. I love campaigning.
One of Wallaces first priorities
once she is sworn in is the budget.
Im ready to tackle the budget,
Wallace said. I want to meet with
the council and get to know and
talk to them. That is extremely im-
portant.
Wallace is looking forward to
the time that she will have to serve
Washington Township.
I am very proud to serve my
township and the people. Wallace
said. I cant put into words how
gratifying it is. I feel like Ive come
full circle. From moving here 40
years ago and helping to build the
township up, to now becoming the
mayor. I am indeed very proud. I
will work hard to continue the
great services in Washington
Township.
Deck the Paws and Help a Collie in Elauwits
annual holiday animal shelter drive
Its that time of the year. Its
time for the eighth annual Sun
newspapers Deck the Paws and
Help a Collie holiday drive to aid
area animal shelters and rescue
groups.
And, again this year, we need
your help. More specifically, the
animals in the shelters need your
help. This year, the drive will run
from the week of Nov. 28 through
Dec. 16.
As mentioned, we started this
effort way back in 2004. That year,
we had only a few drop spots, and
we collected a couple of carloads
of supplies.
All of that has changed. In re-
cent years, we have had 20-30 drop
spots and have been able to deliv-
er about 25-30 carloads of sup-
plies to the shelters every holiday
season.
The animals in these shelters
are in a tough spot. Our goal al-
ways has been to lighten the bur-
den shelters and rescue groups
have to keep the animals fed and
comfortable. When the shelters
receive basics, such as food, blan-
kets and litter, they save money.
Thats money that can go toward
helping to find animals a perma-
nent home.
Want to help? Heres how it all
works:
Right now, we need to build a
list of drop spots. We need places
where people can go to drop off
food, cat litter, cleaning supplies
and everything else our local ani-
mal shelters need. If you dont
mind people showing up at your
door and dropping 40-pound bags
of dog food on your floor, we need
to hear from you.
In a couple of weeks, we will
publish a list of drop spots in our
newspapers and online. People
then will read the list, gather sup-
plies and take them to a drop spot.
After that, the supplies are
picked up and taken to a shelter.
It all starts with the drop spots.
The more spots we have, the more
supplies we collect. More drop
spots mean a brighter holiday
season for shelter animals.
If you want to be a drop spot, or
if you have questions, please send
an email to alan@elauwit.com.
Please put Animal Shelter
Drive in the subject line.

The Washington Twp. Sun
Benjamin Griffith of Washing-
ton Township will be honored as
a Distinguished Citizen of the
Year for Gloucester County in De-
cember. The award will be given
by the Southern New Jersey
Council, Boy Scouts of America.
They called me and asked me
if I would accept the award, Grif-
fith said. A long time ago, I was a
Boy Scout in North Camden. This
award brings back a lot of memo-
ries; it rejuvenates an interest in
the Scouts.
Griffith is the president and
CEO of the South Jersey Federal
Credit Union. In addition to be-
coming more in-
volved with the
scouts, Griffith
takes part in
other community
activities.
Its good to
give something
back, Griffith
said. Im very
honored by this. If youre hon-
ored, you should give something
back. I want to get more young
people involved in scouting and
everything scouting has to offer.
This brings it to the forefront. We
also have scholarships in the
credit union for young people.
There are currently more than
2,400 young people involved in
Scouts throughout Salem and
Gloucester counties. Even though
that number is large, Griffith
thinks there is room for improve-
ment.
Thats a lot of kids, but theres
an awful lot that arent involved,
Griffith said. It comes down to
one thing money. If I can help
raise money, then more young
people will be able to join. Its not
all about camping and things like
that. It creates leaders. You al-
ways hear about Eagle Scouts
doing this or raising money for
that. So if I have the opportunity
to get involved and help them suc-
ceed, I will.
Ben is always willing to help
with any cause thats for the bene-
fit of youngsters, Eileen Cardile,
president and CEO of Underwood
Memorial Hospital, said in a
press release. He gets it and he
gives to it. Ill be right behind
him, supporting him in this ef-
fort.
Ive worked with the hospital,
the credit union is active with it,
Griffith said. I like what I see
there. They are doing great
things, Im a big supporter.
In the end, Griffith is just
happy that he is able to help with
causes that benefit young people.
Im just the lucky guy that
gets the award, Griffith said. I
have a great staff and it all stems
from that. I call myself the or-
chestra leader and my great staff
makes it easier and gives me the
time to help out with other things
involving the community.
The formal presentation of the
Distinguished Citizen Award will
be at a gala reception for the
Southern New Jersey Council,
BSA to be held Thursday, Dec. 8
beginning at 6 p.m. at Aulettos
Caterers, Almonesson.
Reception sponsorships, tick-
ets to the event and ads for a trib-
ute booklet are now being taken

Council office, by emailing Gary

in our opinion
T
hat Gov. Christie and the New
Jersey Education Association
dont see eye-to-eye on much of
anything is no secret. But, last week,
there was an encouraging sign from
the union.
The Associated Press reported that,
on the eve of the unions convention in
Atlantic City, it tossed out a few ideas
for reform. Thats a promising sign, as,
in the past, the union either has en-
trenched itself as an opponent to re-
form and change or has done a really
awful job of getting the word out about
what proposals it would support.
The result is that, for many, the per-
ception of the union is that it clings to
tenure to protect incompetent teach-
ers, is out of touch with todays eco-
nomic realities and is dedicated to pro-
tecting a status quo that no longer is
acceptable. Were not saying that per-
ception is right, but its a perception
that the NJEA really should address.
And last week, it did. Sort of.
According to the AP, the union fa-
vors making teachers eligible for
tenure after four years, instead of the
current three years. In the general
scope of things, thats a small conces-
sion, but a concession nonetheless,
and perhaps something that can be
used as a building block.
The group also called for requiring
full-day kindergarten and, no surprise
here, opposed using public funds to
pay for private education.
The NJEA would be well served to
acknowledge and then remedy the be-
lief of many that it has been tone-deaf
to the economic devastation that has
decimated many in the private sector.
It should do more to become a partner,
or to show that it is a partner, with tax-
payers and the communities they
serve.
Last weeks plans are a step in that
direction.
Heres a thought...
Teachers union offers some ideas of its own
NJEA ideas
Do you think that last weeks ideas
released by the NJEA will have an
impact on education?

Liquor, Paterno, ballots and trouble
Welcome to the
Dark Side, Moorestown
On Election Night, I saw something I
thought I would never see. As I was brows-
ing our website, monitoring the coverage
of yesterdays local elections, I was
stunned to discover that one town in par-
ticular had done something absolutely
shocking. Moorestown, the Quaker town
with roots dating back to the late 1600s, vol-
untarily decided to enter hell.
By a 60 percent to 40 percent tally,
Moorestown voters passed a referendum
that will allow liquor sales in the township,
albeit with restrictions. Liquor will only be
permitted at fine-dining restaurants at
the Moorestown Mall.
What happened to purity? What hap-
pened to values? What happened to tradi-
tion?
Ah, the good ole' days!
Moorestowns dry town status dates
back to 1915, when the township first
banned the sale liquor. And when Prohibi-
tion was lifted in 1933, the town decided it
wouldnt join the progressives; it would re-
main left in the past.
As the world progressed, Moorestown
held firm, staying true to its roots. Estab-
lishments of ill repute started popping up
on every border of town, with PJ Wheli-
hans and the Iron Hill Brewery in Maple
Shade within a stones throw of historic,
Best Place to Live Moorestown.
Over time, though, it seems the lure of
the nearby sale of liquor started creeping
into good ole Moorestown by osmosis. In
2007, some hipster youngins tried to pass a
liquor referendum, but that was shot down
quickly much like similar votes in 1935
and 1953. But only four years later, after
some serious legal debate, the referendum
appeared on the ballot again, and this time,
it passed.
Evil Mr. Liquor has made its way into
Moorestown now, and theres nothing that
can stop it.
Tim Ronaldson
Cinnaminsons ballot included
man who wasnt running
A 23-year-old college student had his
name on the recent ballot for Cinnamin-
sons township committee, even though he
isnt running. Hasnt been for months.
Technically, Austin DArpino never even
finished the paperwork for it, the non-can-
didate told Cinnaminson Patch.
Though DArpino had filed last spring to
run with Independent Scott Lunn, the
county clerk eventually contacted him to
say his paperwork was incomplete.
By then, DArpino had decided not to
run anyway. So he just dropped it, and he
figured that was that.
When ballots arrived in Cinnaminson
homes last week, there DArpino was, list-
ed under Lunn for the Accountability and
Civility party. By then his name could not
be removed, absentee ballots already hav-
ing gone out.
Barry Lank
Teacher indicted
for molestation
A former teacher of seventh- and eighth-
grade social studies at Myron L. Powell El-
ementary School in Lawrence Township
faces 33 charges of sexually assaulting five
students 10 years ago. All victims were
under the age of 12.

Officers with the Gloucester
County Prosecutors fugitive unit,
assisted by local police and K-9
teams, at about 10 a.m. Nov. 11 ar-
rested 42-year-old Mark Holloway,
no known address, as a suspect in
the fatal stabbing of 43-year-old
Kim Barnum about 8 p.m. Friday
night in the victim's apartment on
Fries Mill Road in the Birches sec-
tion of Washington Township, the
Gloucester County Prosecutors
Office announced.
Sgt. Barry Johnson, supervisor
of the GCPO fugitive unit, took
Holloway into custody without in-
cident in an abandoned trailer in
the Colonial Estates mobile home
park off the Black Horse Pike in
Monroe Township. Johnson was
working with officers from Mon-
roe and K-9 teams from Monroe
and the Gloucester County Sher-
iff s Department.
Investigators believe Holloway
fled from his mothers car last
night after she drove him from
Barnums apartment enroute to
deliver him to police. Along with
police from multiple surrounding
districts and a K-9 unit on the
ground, the search in a wooded
area of Monroe Township includ-
ed a police helicopter with ther-
mal-imaging equipment.
On Nov. 11, members of the
GCPO fugitive unit focused on
places where Holloway frequent-
ed, including Colonial Estates.
Holloway was remanded to the
Gloucester County Justice Com-
plex for booking and possible
questioning. He and Barnum,
who lived alone in her apartment
unit, had a history of domestic vi-
olence. An autopsy on the victim
by the Gloucester County Medical
Examiner determined there were
multiple stab wounds consistent
with a long, thin knife blade. The
two most significant wounds were
to a lung and the aorta.
This offense underscores the
importance for all victims of do-
mestic violence to seek assis-
tance, Prosecutor Sean F. Dalton
said of Gloucester Countys first
murder of 2011. We are pleased
at the quick apprehension as a re-
sult of the work of our fugitive
unit, working with the New Jer-
sey State Police, the U.S. Mar-
shals Fugitive Task Force in
Camden as well as local police de-
partments.
The GCPO crime scene and
major crimes units also respond-
ed to the murder scene.

As part of a statewide inspec-
tion of service stations selling
gasoline, Gloucester County
Consumer Protection and
Weights and Measures has
found several businesses that
may be in violation of state
statutes for selling gas with im-
proper octane levels.
We keep an eye out for our
consumers by conducting hun-
dreds of inspections each year,
Freeholder Director Robert
Damminger said. There is an
absolute duty to ensure that oc-
tane levels are correct and the
majority of the more than 90
service stations operating in the
county were compliant.
Gasoline costs over $3 a gal-
lon and consumers should be
getting what they pay for,
Damminger said. When people
are paying for premium they
should trust that they are not
getting 87 octane. There are al-
ways going to be mistakes, but
the vigilant monitoring of these
businesses insures that con-
sumers are being treated fairly.
The state office of weights
and measures asked county of-
fices to work in concert with the
state task force. Gloucester
County Superintendent of
Weights and Measures Russell
Cali began surprise inspections
last week and included Satur-
day inspections when many sta-
tions think county offices are
closed.
Freeholder Deputy Director
Warren S. Wallace and liaison
to the office of consumer affairs
stated, Consumers in this
county should be confident that
we are out there every day keep-
ing businesses honest. For most
of our business owners, this is a
welcome part of doing business,
but we need to maintain vigi-
lance as everyone is dependent
on truth in advertising.
Wallace said that Gloucester
County Weights and Measures
have always been in step with
state initiatives and this cur-
rent look at service stations
maintains that consistency.
To report possible violations
of questionable business prac-
tices, call Gloucester County at
384-6855.

Whitman honors vets
with celebration
The students and staff of Whit-
man Elementary School paid
homage to area servicemen and
servicewomen during a Veterans
Day celebration on Monday, Nov.
7. More than 60 veterans were on
hand, the largest turnout in the
schools history of holding its
Veterans Day program.
The ceremony started with a
welcoming address from Princi-
pal Vince Cardile, followed by the
presentation of the colors by local
veterans that led a procession of
the vets up to the stage of the
Whitman All-Purpose Room.
Then, there was a presentation of
each branch of the armed forces,
complete with songs and thank
you letters from the students.
Maggie Hunt represented the
first grade; Noelle Simmons rep-
resented second grade; Sierra
DiLolle represented third grade;
Caitlin Ginchereau represented
fourth grade; and Aidan Mel-
drum represented fifth grade.
After the letters, Whitman staff
members Marge Leafey, Emily
Withstandley, Jodi Masso, Paula
Stryker and Ginny Sandberg read
the poem I Am the Flag by Ruth
Appersonk Ross. Naval veteran
Dennis Klein played Taps to
honor those who lost their life in
service, before Cardile gave the
closing remarks. Songs including
America, the Beautiful, This
Land is Your Land, Youre a
Grand Old Flag and God Bless
America were sung in between
letters and speeches.
WTHS plays fair and
square
Washington Township High
School was among 183 New Jer-
sey high schools that completed
the 2010-11 sports season without
a single player disqualification
and subsequently recognized for
its sportsmanship by the New
Jersey Interscholastic Athletic
Association. WTHS was among
434 schools that competed
statewide in the NJSIAA last
year. It was the second time in
the last nine years that the
schools athletic programs went
disqualification-free.
Washington Township High
School Athletics showcases the
talents of over 1,100 student-ath-
letes who compete in 31 varsity
sports. The Minutemen and Min-
utemaids captured an unprece-
dented seven sectional champi-
onship titles in 2010-11, the most
in school history.
I was so proud to receive this
letter from the NJSIAA, WTHS
Principal Joe Bollendorf said. It
is a remarkable accomplishment
that speaks to the time and effort
that our Athletic Director Kevin
Murphy and our coaches spend
stressing the importance of
sportsmanship, character and
self-control. This recognition
serves as an acknowledgement
that our teams can be successful
while maintaining a proper focus
on sportsmanship.
This is a tremendous accom-
plishment for our coaches, stu-
dent-athletes and families and
validates that at WTHS we exhib-
it great sportsmanship while
playing at a highly competitive
level, Murphy said. In addition
to being excellent on the field and
court, our student-athletes
showed in excellence in the man-
ner that they conduct themselves.
