Irene Burke of the Senior Citizen Advisory Board embraces Mayor
Bernie Platt as council president David Fleisher and vice-president
Sara Lipsett look on during the townships 50th anniversary
celebration held last week at Cherry Hill High School West.
Happy 50th,
Cherry Hill
By MELISSA DIPENTO
The Cherry Hill Sun
Last weeks town council meet-
ing may have veered slightly from
its usual agenda.
Yes, council took care of its
regular business, but instead of
voting and commenting on items
in front of an intimate crowd at
town hall, the elected officials
held their meeting in front of
hundreds of residents at the
townships 50th anniversary
council meeting, marking 50
years since the townships name
changed from Delaware to Cherry
Hill.
The night opened up with a
rendition of the National An-
them, as performed by elemen-
tary students from Barton, Bret
Harte, Cooper, Johnson, Kilmer,
Kingston, Knight, Mann, Paine,
Sharp, Stockton and Woodcrest,
who together make up the All
Cherry Hill Chorus.
After the council meeting, Lisa
Mangiafico, member of the Cher-
ry Hill Historical Commission
and co-author of Cherry Hill: A
Brief History, reminded resi-
dents about the townships deep
roots and once-agricultural land-
scape.
Mangiafico told the story of
how the township came to be,
which was first settled by the
Lenni-Lenape tribe in the 1600s.
Originally, she said, the town-
ship included what is now
Pennsauken, Merchantville and
the 11th and 12th wards of Cam-
den City.
She also chronicled the town-
ships recent history, from the

Parents speak out about high school scheduling
Cherry Hill school district plans to change high school class schedules, effective next September
By MELISSA DIPENTO
The Cherry Hill Sun
Armed with notepads full of
questions and comments, a few
dozen parents attended the first
scheduled community meeting
last week to listen to Cherry Hill
school district officials elaborate
on the high school scheduling re-
design plan.
The plan, which is set to begin
the first day of school next fall,
would transform students class
schedules from a traditional day
to a six-day rotation, most notably
including longer class periods
and a mandatory lunch and break
period.
The districts director of guid-
ance, James Riordan, along with
Cherry Hill West principal
Joseph Meloche and Cherry Hill
East principal John OBreza, led
the discussion and fielded ques-
tions from parents at the meeting.
The new scheduling increases
class time to 52 minutes on the
first four days of the rotation,
with each subject meeting three
of the four days.
Each student would also have a
25-minute lunch break before or
after a 25-minute break, which is
designed to let students meet with
a teacher to discuss schoolwork
and/or provide a structured time
to meet with a clubs and activity
advisors or teammates and coach-
es.
On days five and six of the rota-
tion, students would attend four
classes for 80 minutes each, with
the same lunch and break sched-
ule.
Currently, students attend
eight class periods during the day,
with 17 percent of students opt-
ing out of lunch to take eight aca-
demic classes.
Under the new schedule, every
student will take a lunch period
either from 10:48 to 11:13 a.m. or
11:17 to 11:42 a.m.
The intent is to have students
and staff take lunch and a break
so there is an opportunity for
everyone to enrich themselves
through lunch, quiet time and ac-
tivities, Meloche said.
Students also are able to cur-
rently substitute any class for a
lab period. The new schedule will

2 THE CHERRY HILL SUN DECEMBER 14-20, 2011
There are nine grounds for divorce in New Jersey! The grounds are:
1. Adultery - Obviously, pictures of two people engaged in relations are extremely
hard to acquire. Therefore, proof of the opportunity to have relations and the
inclination to do so may be sufficient.
2. Willful Desertion - The offender must be separated for twelve consecutive months,
against the will of the deserted party. An unreasonable refusal to engage in
marital relations for one year may also be considered desertion, even if the
parties continue to live together.
3. Extreme Cruelty - The acts can be physical or mental. They must endanger the
mental or physical health of the filing party or make it improper or unreasonable
to expect the filing party to continue in the marriage.
4. Voluntary addiction to drugs or habitual drunkenness for no less than twelve
consecutive months - This may be difficult to prove, since most people will not
abuse drugs or get inebriated in the presence of witnesses for a whole year.
5. Institutionalization for a mental illness for no less than twenty four consecutive
months - The institutionalization can be voluntary or compelled.
6. Imprisonment for no less than eighteen consecutive months - If the action starts
after the person is released, the parties cannot have resumed living together as
husband and wife.
7. Deviant Sexual Conduct - Again, difficult to prove.

Donate toys at the
Silver Diner by Dec. 20
The Silver Diner, located on
Route 38 across from the Cherry
Hill Mall, is collecting donations
for the annual Toys for Tots cam-
paign until Dec. 20.
The public is encouraged to
bring new, unwrapped games,
books, dolls and other toys to the
Silver Diner. All toys will be do-
nated to local children that would
not otherwise receive a gift this
Christmas.
Since 1947, the Toys for Tots
program, through the U.S. Ma-
rine Corps, has distributed more
than 420 million toys to more
than 196 million underprivileged
children. The Toys for Tots cam-
paign provides joy and a message
of hope for less fortunate chil-
dren.
Were pleased to continue the
tradition of holding a Toys for
Tots drive to help spread holiday
cheer to underprivileged chil-
dren, said Peggy Grossmick, op-
erating partner, Silver Diner. We
hope to build on the tremendous
support weve received from our
patrons and local residents in the
past so we can help even more
children.

in our opinion
I
ts hard to believe, but the holiday
season is nearing an end. And that
means that a lot of holiday drives
are about to wrap up, too.
Over the past several weeks, weve
had the honor of listing a great num-
ber of your efforts to help those in
need this holiday season. In our 13
South and Central Jersey publica-
tions, weve published news about ef-
forts to collect food, clothes, blankets,
toys and items for animal shelters. We
hope that your drive, so far, has been
successful.
But now the season is coming to a
close.
If you have been able to help, we
thank you. A great number of non-
profit and charitable organizations de-
pend on the kindness of the general
public during the holiday season to
make ends meet throughout the year.
Thanks to your generosity, many peo-
ple will be helped.
If you havent helped, time is run-
ning short. Lets be honest, the holiday
season is the easiest time of the year
to lend a helping hand because there
are so many groups and organizations
collecting items and donations. You
have bell ringers at numerous stores.
As we mentioned, you read about
countless opportunities in our news-
paper. It seems that just about every-
where you go, theres a way to help
someone.
You dont have to give until it hurts.
Many small donations add up quickly.
Pocket change, a spare blanket, a shirt
that youve grown weary of wearing
these are things you wont miss, but
that can truly help someone else.
So lets end this holiday season with
a bang. If everyone who reads a Sun
newspaper well into six figures
makes one small donation this holiday
season, the impact will be simply over-
whelming.
Almost over
Holidays are almost behind us, but theres still time to make a difference
Time short to help others
If everyone who reads a Sun newspa-
per will make even a small donation
this year, it will make a huge differ-
ence in many lives.
Lighting up Cherry Hill, more sustainably
The lights are shining here
in Town Hall, and in the last
few weeks, those lights have
begun shining more efficiently,
thanks to a number of up-
grades being completed in our
municipal facilities.
With the help of funding and
incentives from New Jerseys
Direct Install program, all light
fixtures in our municipal com-
plex both our civilian offices
and the police department
and the department of public
works facility on Perina Boule-
vard are being upgraded from
T-12 light fixtures to more effi-
cient and more cost-effective T-
8 bulbs.
All offices, hallways and con-
ference rooms are being outfit-
ted with motion-sensor technol-
ogy, which will ultimately
tremendously reduce energy
usage in low-traffic areas. Ad-
ditionally, all of our doorway
Exit signs are being replaced
with LED signs.
These upgrades have taken
place piece by piece over the
last several weeks in fact, visi-
tors to town hall have likely
seen the work in progress. Its
being completed with the help
of more than $103,000 in state
incentives; overall, we expect to
realize more than $45,000 a year
in savings, while trimming
more than 379,000 kilowatt
hours from our overall energy
consumption at our facilities.
These improvements are a
small adjustment in terms of
overall municipal operations,
but they are a giant leap for-
ward with regard to my admin-
istrations overarching Green
Action Plan and our ambitious
sustainability efforts. These
changes and our involvement
in the Direct Install program
have been several years in the
making, and tie into an energy-
use audit commissioned in
2008.
As you well know, Cherry
Hill has been recognized
statewide and nationally for
our sustainability efforts. In
November, we received Silver-
level certification from the Sus-
tainable Jersey program the
highest level of recognition
from that organization, in large
part because we have been lead-
ers in moving our municipal
operations to a higher level of
efficiency and sustainability.
And while Ill always say
that more can be done, its nice
to see that those little changes
such as changing light fixtures
can yield such significant sav-
ings over time. After all, that is
the real win-win for both
town hall and the taxpayers of
Cherry Hill: finding a way to
leverage these more upgrades
so they translate into a benefit
to both our environment and
our wallets.
Thats the bottom line, and
its a philosophy Ive main-
tained in all of the upgrades
weve undertaken in the last
two years. From the 100-kW
solar array launched at DPW
last year, to efforts to reduce
paper usage, to purchasing hy-
brid SUVs for our municipal
fleet, my administration has,
from day one, been careful to
focus our priorities where they
would be most effective and
have the least overall impact to
our taxpayers.
The energy audit completed
three years ago has helped
guide us toward that goal; it
outlined where we could con-
sider making changes that ran
the gamut from motion sensors
to solar panels, while allowing
us to look at realistic costs ver-
sus the potential for savings.
Weve been fortunate to be able
to take advantage of programs
like Direct Install, and to have
the support of our local, state
and federal lawmakers, like
U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez,
whose backing was key in help-
ing us secure hundreds of
thousands of dollars in federal
grant money to complete our
solar projects.
These initiatives have been a
great source of pride through-
out my time as mayor of Cher-
ry Hill, and as I look toward the
future, Im proud to see them
come to fruition.
As always, for more informa-
tion on any of these efforts,

Camden Catholic High School,
South Jerseys oldest Catholic co-
educational college preparatory
school, announces the formation
of the Stand Up To Bullying
club.
Camden Catholic is offering
pink polo shirts to students who
pledge to stand up to bullying in
and outside of the high school.
The club, moderated by guidance
counselor Varsay Lewis, consists
of students and faculty who serve
as avenues for members of the
Camden Catholic Family that feel
they are being bullied. Partici-
pants will be wearing their pink
polo shirts every Friday and vol-
unteer to listen, empathize, and
report any bullying that may
occur. Students will meet weekly
and faculty will be receiving
proper training for situational in-
stances. Weve been fortunate to
not have any issues of bullying in
our school, Lewis said. Howev-
er, we realize this is an issue that
needs preventative measures. We
cannot be reactive or retrospec-
tive if a problem should arise. We
take pride in our community and
want to be sure that bullying is
not a part of it.
Members will receive training
from the Center for Family Serv-
ices. The CFS also identified Cam-
den Catholic as an implementa-
tion site for Bullying Prevention
within Camden County.

allow students to only swap out
study hall, music or physical edu-
cation, in that order, to take a lab
class.
Several parents at the meeting
questioned why the district want-
ed to restrict lab substitutions,
citing the importance of music
and gym class.
Lab science is mandated by
the state, but the time devoted to
it is up to the district, Riordan
said. We are minimizing it by
only being able to lab out of
music and PE. Were reducing 90
percent of lab outs.
The new schedule will allow an
option for seniors to leave early or
elect for a study hall period if a
student does not wish to take
eight classes.
The redesign, named Setting a
New TONE, which stands for
time, opportunity, nourishment
and enrichment, was initially dis-
cussed in 2009, Riordan said.
That year, teachers and admin-
istrators began to get the dia-
logue going about the potential
opportunity to redesign the dis-
tricts high school scheduling.
From there, Riordan said, stake-
holders from each school formed
focus groups to do research and
discuss what the implications of
new scheduling could mean for
the districts 3,300 high school stu-
dents.
The hope in researching the re-
design, Riordan said, was to see if
the district could achieve consis-
tency in the instructional day,
while protecting time allotted for
classes and adding structured
breaks for students.
From there, the district began
to work with Michael Rettig,
founder of School Scheduling As-
sociates and Susan Golder, also
with the organization, which
works with school districts across
the country to help design school
schedules aimed at maximizing
instruction time and including
engaging instructional activities.
The district worked with the
school-scheduling consultants in
2010.
Last fall, the district stakehold-
ers began to make visits near and
far to see how other schools have
transformed scheduling.
Administrators and staff visit-
ed Robbinsville High School in
Mercer County, Mainland High
School in Linwood near the
shore, Ridgewood High School in
North Jersey and Horace Greely
High School in Chappaqua, N.Y.
Administrators also had a
phone interview with Garnett
Valley High School officials in
Pennsylvania.
We picked Robbinsville since
we were not looking for block
(scheduling). They opened as a
block school and the teachers
knew only that. We wanted not
just to see a place that transi-
tioned into it, Riordan said.
The other schools proved to be
indicative of different kinds of
scheduling, Riordan said, includ-
ing a school with an enrichment
period during the middle of the
day, a school with modified block
scheduling, some that had uti-
lized this method for years and
some that were just beginning to
make the transition.
OBreza said about 20 staff
members traveled with him to
visit Mainland High School.
A few parents questioned how
so many students could eat lunch
at the same time and wondered
how each high school could ac-
commodate the influx of hungry
students.
Since there are two periods
during the day under the new
scheduling that a student may be
scheduled for lunch, half of

Changes to start next year
Wests 1,600 students will eat
lunch during a given period; half
of Easts 2,200 students will eat
lunch during a given period.
About 1,400 students shared
the same lunch period at Main-
land High School, OBreza said.
We saw problems, but we saw
the good. We talked to students,
administrators and teachers.
There were more positives than
negatives. Students were assum-
ing more responsibility and want-
ed down time, social time, lunch
and a chance to getting some
things done, OBreza said. I
made it a point to bring skeptics
with me. They came back believ-
ers.
Riordan said the large lunch
periods might present a problem
in terms of where students actu-
ally eat, but said other schools
have surprisingly seen a reduc-
tion in discipline needed at
lunchtime.
Twenty people did visit. We
thought this would benefit stu-
dents in Cherry Hill, he said.
Another issue brought up dur-
ing the meeting centered on the
potential need for additional
teachers.
If students opt to take eight
classes, which the district esti-
mates to be about 50 to 60 percent
of students, more teachers may
be needed.
If an additional 20 percent of
students choose to take eight
classes, the district may need to
employ four to five staff mem-
bers.
Teachers may also be reallocat-
ed, Riordan said, depending on
elective classroom enrollments.
He said the district routinely real-
locates teachers depending on
class sizes and sections and bases
staffing on student course selec-
tion.
This year, a committee was
formed to further study the new
scheduling plan. Parent Teacher
Associations also discussed the
potential changes.
Recently, the committee of ad-
ministrators, parents, staff, stu-
dents and members of the Cherry
Hill Education Association voted
23-1 in favor of moving forward
with the new scheduling, Riordan
said.
Susan Bastnagel, the districts
public information officer, said
no board of education vote is
needed to implement the new
scheduling.
The board also discussed
scheduling at the curriculum and
instruction meeting and also at
the boards work session meeting,
Bastnagel said.
A second community meeting
was held Monday, Dec. 12, at Rosa
Middle School to inform the com-
munity and allow for questions
about the scheduling.
But some residents said they
felt left in the dark about the
whole process.
Meloche said hes heard from
teachers who have expressed
their concern about the new
scheduling and said he welcomes
comments and questions from
parents and community mem-
bers on the changes.
There will still be concerns,
questions and things that have to
be worked through. We think
well provide a much more au-
thentic experience for students,
Meloche said.
Riordan said he understands
the transition process may be
challenging for parents and stu-
dents, but said he plans on work-
ing with anyone who has ques-
tions or concerns about the shift.
The biggest concern is
change, Riordan said. Change
is difficult, but not impossible.

birth of the mall, to the boom of
businesses, including the Garden
State Racetrack and Subaru
Headquarters.
Local government officials and
dignitaries congratulated Mayor
Bernie Platt on his years of dedi-
cation to the township.
After serving on council, as
mayor, as a Camden County Free-
holder, and most recently as
mayor, again, Platt will be suc-
ceeded by mayor-elect Chuck
Cahn next month.
You always kept the interest of
citizens in mind first and fore-
most, said county freeholder di-
rector Louis Cappelli, Jr. The
greatest legacy youre going to
leave is the dedication to your cit-
izens.
Platt also honored each of the
past mayors of Cherry Hill,
which include the late John
Gilmour, who served from 1962 to
1971; John Rocco, who served
from 1975 to 1977; Maria Barnaby
Greenwald, the townships first
female mayor, who served from
1977 to 1979 and 1981 and 1987;
Howard Gaul, who served from
December 1980 through July of
1981 and Susan Bass Levin, the
longest serving mayor, who
served from 1988 to 2002.
Platt presented the past mayors
and family members who stood in
on their behalf, with a framed
map of Delaware Township.
We are fortunate tonight to be
joined by many of the men and
women who have served in elect-
ed office throughout Cherry Hills
history. These individuals, former
mayors and council members,
have played an undeniable role in
shaping this community we know
and love, Platt said.
Platt and council also honored
councilman Dennis Garbowski,
for his five years of service on
council.
Garbowski did not seek reelec-
tion last month.
Council vice-president Sara
Lipsett and John Amato were re-
elected, in addition to newcomer
Melinda Kane.
Its been a pleasure working
with the mayor, council and town-
ship employees, Garbowski said.
You all do a great job.
Platt received numerous
thanks and accolades throughout
the rest of the evening from vari-
ous members of the community.
But one that was especially
touching were the words of one of
his four children, Alison Platt.
Youre a dedicated and effec-
tive leader and a parent who put
four children through Cherry Hill
schools. Youre a neighbor and a
community leader, Alison Platt
said. You are someone to trust
with the decisions of Cherry
Hill.
Platts daughter joked about
her own two daughters laughing
about how students often ask the
mayor for an autograph or photo
with him.
They treat you like a rock
star, she said. Dad, you are a
rock star.
Before the 50th anniversary
time capsule was sealed, the
mayor added a letter to the future
mayor of 2061, 50 years from now.
The capsule will be opened on
the 100th anniversary of the
township.
Members of council then
thanked the mayor for his years
of service and wished him well.
All good things must come to
an end, Lipsett said. With the
vision and leadership of Platt and
others, Cherry Hill has become
the hub of South Jersey.
Some of the council members
even had a joke or two up their
sleeve for the outgoing mayor.
When you go to Florida, dont
worry about any snowstorms this
time, Amato said.
With that, Platt lit the candles
on the birthday cake as the cho-
rus of students sang Happy
Birthday to Cherry Hill.
Platt thanked the community
for supporting him over the years
in all his public roles.
You are, without a doubt, the
most important piece of this puz-
zle. Without you, there would be
no Cherry Hill; you are the
lifeblood of this community. It
has been my pleasure to serve as
your mayor for the last nine
years, and it has been my honor
to be a part of this 50th anniver-
sary year, Platt said.

50th anniversary event, visit
