Schwering Hardware
Schwerings Hardware first
opened its doors for business
on Sept. 25, 1922. H.C. Schwering built and opened a generalgoods store called Schwerings
Wayside Hardware. Grandpop
sold products as varied as toys
and radio tubes to electric
clothes washing machines, a
brand-new item for that era!
Our famous horse and buggy
(where our logo comes from)
first showed up in the 1960s.
Over the years, some of our
products have changed, but not
our dedication to customers.
We started selling gas logs and
fireplaces more than 15 years
ago. Today we have pellet

Boy Scout
wreath sale
underway
Its time for the annual Boy
Scout Troop 65 Greens Sale. Fresh
wreaths, swags, centerpieces and
cedar garlands will be delivered
to your door around Thanksgiving. Many items are also available
for direct gift-shipping to out-oftown friends and relatives.
For the past 30 years, we have
proudly offered quality evergreens, harvested by trimming
boughs from trees in the Cascade
Mountains of Washington State.
This pruning helps the trees sustain a healthy growth pattern and
fosters a healthy ecosystem.
Troop 65 has been active in the
Haddonfield community for more
than 80 years. The Greens Sale is
the Troops only fundraising activity and we greatly appreciate
your support.
So listen for a Scout knocking at
your door or contact troop65greens
@comcast.net for a brochure.
Order deadline is Oct. 31.

How did we get to this point in this
town? Did Haddonfield voters deny the
BOE money for repairs, building maintenance, additions and new construction?
No. From 1986 until 2004, voters approved
approximately $45.7 million for these purposes.
In addition, the community was told in
2013, at the time of the Bancroft Referendum, that the buildings were in good condition. As I understand it, the BOE had to
certify to the state Department of Education the buildings were sound to have the
referendum and install the stadium turf
field. Moreover, when the proposal for the
2016 bond was initially floated in fall 2014,
the BOE proposed essential school repairs
at a cost of $7 million. How can we go from
$7 million to $50 million in less than a year?
One has to ask: Where did the previous
bond money for maintenance and repair

Review of facilities
A facilities assessment was
kick-started by the availability of
a Regular Operating District
grant in 2013 and $1.4 million in
capital reserve. Internal assessments, repairs and upgrades were
not made before then due to a lack
of funding to open the buildings
and look at them internally, ac-
cording
to
Superintendent
Richard Perry. The schools had
been doing regular inspections
and maintenance, but mostly to
the exterior.
Last April, the BOE asked
school architect Steven A. Becica
and his engineers to review the
districts facilities in terms of mechanical systems, electrical systems, exterior needs, foundations,
brick and roofing.
In conjunction with the ROD
grants, because there was so
much discussion, the board determined that we would have a complete investigation. That is where
all of the sudden we identified
there were problems, Perry said.
The findings included:
Building envelope: damaged

tional $50 million over the next 30
years. We are also still paying off
$16 million on previous bonds as
well as interest of $4 million until
2025.
Should the voters pass this $50
million bond, we will have given
the Haddonfield BOE $100 million
in 30 years to maintain four
schools. Haddonfield taxpayers
need a guarantee of transparency
and accountability for past as
well as future monies from the
BOE.
Yes, it is important now to fix
these buildings, as it was important to maintain them over the
last 30 years. The question is, how
much money is truly necessary,
and can the present board and its
contractors be trusted to spend it
wisely?
The BOE must allow taxpayers
and voters time to process these
extraordinary events and the
huge amount of money asked; alternatives to the $50 million price
tag; a plan that takes care of the
essential safety needs and leaves
the frills and wish list for another
time; and to consider how we, the
taxpayers in a town with few ratables, will be able to sustain such a
tax increase.
I urge all citizens of Haddonfield to attend the Board of Education meeting at 7 p.m. in the
High School library on Oct. 8 to
inform themselves about this upcoming bond referendum.
