Residents
speak out
against
charter
school
By MELISSA DIPENTO
The Voorhees Sun
Residents of Cherry Hill
and Voorhees continue to
speak out against the arrival
of Regis Academy Charter
School in Cherry Hill, which
was approved by the state De-
partment of Education last
fall.
Earlier this month, Cherry
Hill Schools Superintendent
Dr. Maureen Reusche, along
with members of the commu-
nity, presented testimony be-
fore the Assemblys Education
Committee, expressing opposi-
tion to the school that would
draw students from Cherry
Hill, Voorhees, Lawnside and
Somerdale.
In the past, school district
officials from Cherry Hill and
Voorhees expressed concern
over setting aside money from
next years budget to support
the publicly funded charter
school. Cherry Hill schools are
projected to contribute $1.9
million. Voorhees Schools are
projected to set aside nearly
$700,000 for the charter school.
I need my elected officials
to dot every i and cross every

Badge
incident
stirs
scrutiny
By MELISSA DIPENTO
The Voorhees Sun
At the Feb. 13 township com-
mittee meeting, a few mem-
bers of the public offered their
thoughts to Deputy Mayor
Mario DiNatale on his recent
brush with the law.
Last month, DiNatale was
pulled over by Berlin Town-
ship police for having a failed
inspection sticker and for hav-
ing tinted windows.
DiNatale, the Voorhees
Township Public Safety Direc-
tor, said he did fail inspection
after he bought the car in
Pennsylvania. After a failed
inspection, he had one month
to make the changes needed to
pass.
I was a month overdue. I
was wrong, DiNatale said.
But the issue some residents
have taken up with DiNatale
isnt so much over the failed
inspection.
When he was pulled over
last month, DiNatale said he
showed the officer his license,
registration and insurance in
one hand, and a badge issued
by the Voorhees Chief of Po-
lice in his other hand.
DiNatale said the officer
asked him what the badge was,
to which he responded, Im

By MELISSA DIPENTO
The Voorhees Sun
With dozens of members of the
Voorhees Township Police De-
partment present, Mayor Michael
Mignogna swore in Charles
Fowler and Daniel Stark as ser-
geants at last weeks committee
meeting.
The committee then shifted its
focus to hashing out the details of
a new citizens budget advisory
committee.
Earlier in the caucus session,
Committeeman Michael Fried-
man said the group reached a
compromise about who would sit
on the citizen committee.
Friedman said he wanted four
residents on the committee, but
other members of the township
committee said they wished for
an open citizen group, allowing
any interested Voorhees taxpay-
ers to get involved.
We reached a compromises so
all the citizens of Voorhees could
have a voice, Friedman said.
Committee members chimed
in, stating their satisfaction with
the group being open to all resi-
dents .
We all agree were about
transparency, Mignogna said.
This resolution does no more
then tell people they have the
rights theyve always had,
Deputy Mayor Harry Platt said.
The group will begin to meet
soon.
Deputy Mayor Mario DiNatale
asked if Friedman would be will-
ing to chair the group. Friedman
agreed, as did DiNatale, to remain
a part of the group that plans to
take a hard look at the budget in
the coming weeks.
The group of citizen taxpayers
will also take their budgetary rec-
ommendations to the committee.
Township Administrator
Larry Spellman said the budget is
currently being crafted, with an
expected presentation occurring
at a regular meeting in March. He
said the township is still looking
for ways to save money, and he an-

The Voorhees Board of Educa-
tion voted unanimously to move
the annual school election from
April to November at its Jan. 25
meeting.
Board of education members
whose terms were slated to end
this April will be extended to
January and theyll be up for re-
election in November. The board
will reorganize the first week of
January.
According to Frank DeBerardi-
nis, assistant superintendent for
business, the estimated savings of
moving the elections from April
to November is $12,000.
The cost of this years Novem-
ber election will be shared among
various county and local entities.
The move to November also
eliminates the public vote on pro-
posed budgets under the state-
mandated 2 percent cap.
School
election
moves to
November
ticipates the budget coming in
under the state-mandated 2 per-
cent cap.
Other towns have done this
with much success, Friedman
said. We could all use advice. Im
happy to see the committee come
to fruition.
Any residents interested in be-
coming a part of the citizens
budget advisory committee may
contact committeeman Friedman
at mfriedman@voorheesnj.com or
the mayor at mmignogna@
voorheesnj.com.
The committee also passed a
resolution requesting a review of
charter school law, which sup-
ports the state Senate and Assem-
blys proposed laws on further ac-
countability and voter approval of
charter schools in New Jersey
municipalities.

in our opinion
T
oday marks a special day at
Elauwit Media, publisher of
The Sun newspapers. We wel-
come West Windsor and Robbinsville
to our family.
These two additions bring our num-
ber of newspapers to 15.
We serve the communities of Had-
donfield, Moorestown, Cherry Hill
East, Marlton, Medford, Voorhees,
Washington Township, Shamong, Mt.
Laurel and Tabernacle in South Jer-
sey.
Now, in Central Jersey, we serve
Lawrence, Montgomery, Hopewell,
West Windsor and Robbinsville.
Most importantly, wed like to thank
everyone for the support we have re-
ceived over the years.
We started with one newspaper, in
Haddonfield, in 2004. Our goal always
has been to provide our readers and
advertisers with the best service possi-
ble. We strive every week to bring you
local news that is important to you.
From coverage of local meetings and
events to features on interesting peo-
ple and activities, we want you to look
forward to receiving your Sun in the
mail every week.
But the true measure of success has
been the involvement of the communi-
ties in their local Suns. We ask our
readers to send us news they want to
share with their friends and neigh-
bors. When students achieve greatness
in the classroom or on the playing
field or when civic groups work to
raise money for a good cause, we want
to hear about it and then tell every-
one else about it.
Weve managed to grow rapidly dur-
ing one of the most difficult economic
times in our nations history and
during a time that has been especially
difficult for many newspapers.
We want to continue to grow. And to
do that, we know we have to publish
newspapers that reflect the values and
priorities of the communities they
serve.
We thank you for your continued
support.

The Voorhees Theatre Compa-
ny will again offer its successful
and popular summer theater pro-
gram, June 25 to Aug. 24. More
than 170 children are expected to
participate in this summers pro-
duction of Nifty Fifties.
Now in its ninth year, the VTC
summer theater program offers a
performance option for children
in grades three to eight and a
technical theatre option for
young people in grades seven to
ten. Attracting young people
from many South Jersey commu-
nities, including Voorhees, Cher-
ry Hill, Marlton, Gibbsboro and
Berlin, the program takes place at
the Voorhees Middle School.
Performance program partici-
pants split days between rehears-
ing for the show and participat-
ing in a variety of interactive
workshops taught by theater pro-
fessionals.
Workshops typically include
topics such as stage combat,
dance and vocal training. Techni-
cal theater campers work with
professionals to design and build
sets and learn the art of theatri-
cal lighting and sound.
The program will culminate
with performances of Nifty
Fifties in August.
Our goal is to give kids a sam-
pling of a variety of theatre disci-
plines in a fun, safe environment
where they can experience the
teamwork involved in creating a
theatrical production, said camp
program director Karen Nichol-
son. They work hard, they have
fun, and they never fail to amaze
us with their performances at the
end of the program.
Registration materials are
available at www.voorheesthe-
atre.org/summerprogram and at
the Voorhees CER office at the
Voorhees Middle School. The six-
week program, which runs Mon-
days to Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 3
p.m., is $550 for Voorhees
residents and $575 for non-resi-
dents.

is at stake here. I need a local ap-
proval process so that no charter
school will be allowed to open
without community support,
said Cherry Hill resident Loraine
Carapellucci at the Feb. 2 Assem-
bly Education Committee meet-
ing.
At the meeting, Reusche advo-
cated for allowing residents to
vote on whether a charter school
should be able to operate in a
community.
In Cherry Hill, as in many
suburban school districts, fund-
ing for public education comes
primarily from local property
taxes. Yet our local taxpayers
have had no say in whether a
charter school can open in our
district, Reusche said. The deci-
sion to approve the Regis
application rested entirely with
the acting commissioner of edu-
cation.
After testimony was given at
the meeting, the Assembly com-
mittee passed bill A-1877, which
would require local voter ap-
proval at the annual school elec-
tion of a charter school.
An identical bill, S-458, is cur-
rently on the Senate floor await-
ing further movement. Sen. Jim
Beach signed on as a cosponsor of
the bill.
The bill would still need to be
passed by both the full Assembly
and Senate. The Assembly is ex-
pected to vote in early March on
the bill.
The bill also was recently
amended to include language that
would allow for residents to vote
in favor or against a charter
school, even if it has received
DOE approval, but has not yet
opened.
This retroactive amendment, if
passed in time, would allow vot-
ers to deny Regis Academy Char-
ter School before it is set to open
in the fall.
Cherry Hill resident Rita Mc-
Clellan also presented her views
to the education committee on
Feb. 2, reiterating the negative im-
pact she said the charter school
will have in the community.
So what can Cherry Hill,
Voorhees, Lawnside and
Somerdale do about this situa-
tion? Very little. We are now
forced to accept a charter school
that our high-performing dis-
tricts did not need, want and can-
not afford, McClellan said. If
we had been given the right
to vote on this charter, Im
certain that all the problems with
the Regis application would
have been highlighted and this
school would not have been ap-
proved.
Voorhees Township Public
Schools continue to support the
Cherry Hill School Districts fight
to get the legislation passed that
would allow for local voters to ap-
prove or deny the charter school.
As a district, our goal is to
make sure our public schools stay
intact and retain quality, said
Voorhees Schools spokesperson
Irene Afek.

the Public Safety Director in
Voorhees Township, DiNatale
said.
The officer, he said, then asked
him if he was a police officer in
Voorhees. DiNatale said he re-
sponded by saying no.
DiNatale has since turned in
his badge to Police Chief Keith
Hummel, who said, from the best
of his knowledge, badges have
been issued to the Public Safety
Director since the 1980s.
Mayor Michael Mignogna said
the badges are ceremonial and for
identification purposes only.
Hummel said other members
of township committee keep
badges that read Committee
Member Voorhees Township.
DiNatale also said he asked the
police officer who stopped him to
write him a ticket for his offense
multiple times during the stop.
DiNatale said the officer told him,
No, no, just go.
At the committee meeting, Bob
Monahan, a retired member of
the Voorhees Township Police De-
partment, addressed DiNatale
about how the information was
leaked to the media in the first
place.
I did not send an email. I did
not call anybody, Monahan said.
DiNatale said he had good rea-
son to believe a retired police offi-
cer from the Fraternal Order of
Police of South Jersey Lodge #56
leaked the information to the
press.
DiNatale said he feels someone
who wishes to run against him
this fall leaked the information.
Its political season and Im a
punching bag up there. Its a
shame, DiNatale said.
After Monahans comments at
the meeting, DiNatale apologized.
Bob, if it wasnt you, I apolo-
gize.
DiNatale said he personally
apologized to Monahan after the
meeting.
I had the opportunity to speak
with Bob Monahan and he as-
sured me it was not him that sent
the email, DiNatale said.
Mignogna weighed in on the
situation, saying he feels DiNa-
tale has given the public an ade-
quate response on the matter.
Deputy Mayor DiNatale has
addressed the issue at length at
the last two public township com-
mittee meetings. He has assured
the residents and the other mem-
bers of Township Committee that
the badge was used for identifica-
tion, along with his license, regis-
tration and insurance card,
Mignogna said. No tickets were
issued and the deputy mayor took
immediate steps to have his car
inspected and remove the tinting
from his car windows. For almost
a decade, Deputy Mayor DiNatale
has tirelessly served this commu-
nity as committeeman, many of
those years as the director of pub-
lic safety.

The Camden County Parks
Department will no longer col-
lect fees from county residents
for the use of athletic fields or
picnic areas.
The Freeholder Board en-
courages everyone to take ad-
vantage of the facilities in Cam-
den Countys Parks, said Free-
holder Jeffrey L. Nash, the
seven-member boards liaison to
the parks department. By al-
lowing individuals to reserve a
picnic pavilion or ball field at no
charge, we hope that more fami-
lies will enjoy all that Camden
Countys parks have to offer.
Many Camden County parks
have facilities that can be re-
served, including baseball
fields, volleyball courts and pic-
nic groves.
For a complete list of Camden
County Parks and their ameni-
ties, visit
www.camdencounty.com/parks.
Camden County residents
will continue to be asked to
apply for park use permits to en-
sure the facilities they are re-
questing are available, but the
fees will no longer apply to resi-
dents.
To obtain a park use permit,
call the Camden County Parks
Department at (856) 216-2173.
The 20 parks in the Camden
County Parks System offer the

Historical Society has Womens
History Month events planned
The Camden County Historical
Society celebrates Womens His-
tory Month with a two-week ex-
hibit of quilts stitched by five
generations of women in one
local family whose long tradition
of quilting began in the city of
Camden.
The exhibit runs from March
11 through March 25.
Part of the new Sundays at
the Society series, the exhibit is
open to the public; admission is
free.
Meet members of the Talavera
family Dorothy Robbins Talav-
era and her daughter, Emily
Kreifels as they share the spe-
cial stories of each quilt in an un-
broken chain that binds the five
generations of women who made
them.
Unlike showpieces in typical
quilt shows, these quilts are real
workhorses. The oldest was made
in the post-Civil War era by a
child at 703 W. Third St., in Cam-
den just learning to sew under
protest. Anna Mary Ray Sparks
would later tell her own daugh-
ters how those earliest quilts
were sewn with a tear in every
stitch.
Some quilts were intended as
precious heirlooms. Others are
hardworking bedclothes pieced
from scraps in an era when waste
was unthinkable. Quilts stitched
with love to welcome new babies
are displayed alongside more
modern quilts that provide a cre-
ative outlet for women with busy
lives and demanding careers.
They have served as comfort-
ing bed coverings; kept family
members warm on chilly
evenings in front of the TV; have
spent sunny days in the park as
picnic blankets; disguised worn
spots on well-loved upholstered
furniture; and, draped over ta-
bles, have served as the walls of
many childhood forts.
The Talavera quilts will be dis-
played in the rooms of historic
Pomona Hall along with family
photographs and a rare, surviv-
ing copy of the Ladies Art Com-
pany Catalog used by young
Annie Ray in the 19th century.
