The HMHS Drama Club will present its 2016 musical, the Tony award winning “The Pajama Game,” on March 4, 5, 6, 11 and 12. It is a toe-tapping comedic love story that will entertain all ages. “‘The Pajama Game’ is pure entertainment. From the catchy songs to the high-energy dances and the comedic love story plot, the production is sure to please theater-goers of all ages,” Director Matthew DiDonato said. “It’s such a fun show. There are so many high-energy numbers and the story is beautiful, with the workers and the factory, and the love story carried through out. It’s so much fun. You’ll be on the edge of your seat the whole time,” junior Joanna Moles, playing Babe, said. The cast of 50 students has been working hard since auditions in December practicing and learning new skills in acting, BRIGIT BAUMA/The Sun In Haddonfield Memorial High School’s production of ‘The Pajama Game,’ workers of the Sleep Tite Pajama factory prepare for a union rally asking their boss for a seven and a half cent raise in a song and dance number. singing and dancing in preparation for “The Pajama Game.” “I hope (the audience) can feel the passion that a lot of people have put into this performance. It is a lot of time and dedication from everyone involved,” senior Tyler Rodriguez, playing Charlie, said. “We’ve put a lot of work into the show. This is a fun, interesting and quirky show with an en- tertaining story that can be enjoyed by any age,” senior Emily Pinsky, playing Gladys, said. In “The Pajama Game,” set in the Midwest in the 1950s, the employees of the Sleep Tite pajama factory are in the midst of a battle for a seven and a half cent raise. The new superintendent of the factory, Sid Sorokin, played by senior Jeremiah Slack-Welles, gets himself into trouble with the head of the union grievance committee – the feisty and charming Babe Williams. Although Babe tries to deny it, it's love at first sight for this unlikely couple on opposite sides of a labor dispute. People may recognize some of the music, including "Hey There," "Steam Heat" and "Hernando's Hideaway.” please see DIRECTOR, page 18 IF YOU GO Where: HMHS Auditorium When: March 4, 5, 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m., March 6 at 2 p.m. Cost: Tickets are $10 each night, except March 6 which is $7 each or four for $25 How: Tickets are available at the door or main office of the high school INSIDE THIS ISSUE Fiber, Fabrics & Foundry Markeim accepting submissions for March exhibition.

FEB. 24–MARCH 1, 2016 – THE HADDONFIELD SUN 3 Prayer webinar on Feb. 25 A statement from that book that Frederick will explore is, “The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God – a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love.” Frederick studied perennial religion at Hampshire College, where he was introduced to Christian Science healing. After traveling the world for a year and hiking extensively in the Himalayas, he went to Boston in 2008 to work for his church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist. Since then, he has served in many capacities, including launching and producing the award-winning Daily Lift podcast and Time4Thinkers’ Weekly Musician. He has shared the healing principles of Christian Science prayer at jails, rehab centers and interfaith events as well as in lectures he has given nationally and internationally. He also has been widely involved in composing, producing and performing Christian music. NJ Lic. #13vh0111555900 Many people would like to pray and see healing results, but some just don’t know where to begin, according to Christian Science lecturer, Nate Frederick. Frederick will be giving a webinar on Learn to Pray and Heal at First Church of Christ, Scientist, located at 355 Kings Highway East in Haddonfield on Thursday, Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m. The webinar will explore the how-to of spiritual healing – how to have more faith in life, understand God as love itself and express love in a way that heals. The lecture is free, and all are invited. Child care will be provided. Anyone unable to attend in person can go to the website cshaddonfield.org for information and to watch the talk on a computer the night of the lecture or to view a replay later. The talk is inspired by the Biblebased healing principles discovered by Mary Baker Eddy and set down in her book, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.” CALL NOW FOR FOR WINTER SAVINGS! uth Serving So 1975 Jersey since Deal Direct With The Owner All Work Fully Guaranteed Fully Insured The Winner of the 2014 Certainteed Siding Award of Excellence GAF Certified Roofing Contractor OUR COMPETITIVE PRICES WILL MAKE YOU GLAD YOU CALLED!

Narcotics Anonymous of New Jersey (800) 992-0401 ! " ! # # 6 THE HADDONFIELD SUN — FEB. 24–MARCH 1, 2016 in our opinion Gov.’s budget shows restraint Conservative revenue projections are nice to see F or once, it seems that Gov. Christie and his team have shown some restraint when it comes to projecting the state’s revenue. Maybe his failed bid for the Republican nomination for president humbled him. OK, probably not. In any case, unlike the last couple years, Christie’s proposed budget that he revealed last week is projecting a modest 3.1 percent revenue growth. That’s a breath of fresh air compared to more recent years, when revenue projections seemed unrealistic at the get-go and then proved to be exactly that by the end of the year. Those revenue “shortfalls,” if you can even call them that, caused serious problems for the state, both in terms of balancing the budget and also in the case of having its credit rating downgraded – again and again. Your thoughts What are your thoughts on Gov. Christie’s proposed budget? Share your thoughts on this, and other topics, through a letter to the editor. For FY 2017, though, it looks like Christie and his team have finally decided to go the conservative route. Christie is hoping his $34.8 billion proposed budget will be the start of making the “next two years great ones for our state,” as he said in his budget speech last week. It’s nice, as well, that Christie sounded focused on local issues in our state, rather than larger national and even international issues as he was campaigning for the big seat in Washington. Christie’s proposed budget includes Dan McDonough Jr. no tax increases and the largest payment ever to the state’s pension plan – $1.86 billion. His opponents will say that’s still not enough, falling way short of what actuaries say is necessary to keep the pension fund healthy. His opponents will also say Christie’s budget has failed to address the Transportation Trust Fund, which is in dire shape and could be out of money by as early as June. That’s a serious problem, one that Christie said still can be fixed in time. The long-term impact of Christie’s proposed budget won’t be seen anytime soon. We don’t love that it doesn’t include increased funding to areas such as public school aid. However, there are times when spending must be curbed to get a budget in line, even if that takes a few years, and now seems to be one of those times. letters to the editor CURB urges citizens to reject bond referendum Haddonfield schools are definitely in need of repair. There is no question about that. However, many of the projects included in the March 8 bond referendum are not necessary. Some of the projects, for example the more than $2 million for upgraded climate control system for the high school, will not fix the problems that need addressing. Other projects, for example nearly $1 million for new windows at Elizabeth Haddon and Tatem elementary schools, will not generate anywhere near the savings required for a reasonable payback. Certainly, there are problems that need to be addressed now, and we should approve the monies required for those projects. Just two years ago, the Board of Educa- tion stated $7 million would be required for essential repairs, now it is $35 million. Clearly $35 million is not required at this time. A smaller bond, addressing only essential items, could be prepared for a vote in September and still achieve the anticipated 2017 construction start date. In a few years, if additional capital improvements are indicated, another bond referendum could be proposed. Another major concern is how the schools got in their current poor condition. It is clear that water intrusion due to poor roof maintenance, inattention to proper drainage and failure to address problems when they were first observed are the reasons. I share the recommendation of others that a citizens advisory board made up of qualified professionals with experience in building systems be created to advise the board. Additionally, it seems that some kind of upgrade of maintenance manage- 108 Kings Highway East Haddonfield, NJ 08033 856-427-0933 ment of our schools is needed.

The Fiber, Fabrics & Foundry exhibition at the MAC will run from March 8 through March 30. MAC will be accepting submissions for the exhibition March 2 to 4. “We try to share art with the community, that includes artists that use this material and (all of) the community to allow them to think of art in a different way, as it is not traditional,” Jenny Graham-Hougah, director of events and special programing, said. MAC has been hosting the Fiber and Fabrics exhibition at its gallery for years. However, this year it decided to open it to foundry. Fiber and fabric art refers to fine art whose material consists of natural or synthetic materials, plus other components, such as beads or yarn. Foundry refers to work created using metal, glass or both. All of this work focuses on the materials, on the manual labor on the part of the artist as part of the works’ significance, and prioritizes aesthetic value over utility. “At Markeim, we offer a lot of opportunities for artists to exhibit their work. There are typically not a lot of opportunities to highlight these materials… We’re taking it out of the everyday use and celebrating the materials as aesthetic pieces,” Graham-Hougah said. Graham-Hougah hopes members of the community come to the exhibition and get a deeper appreciation for the aesthetic value of the art. “These materials are manipulated in a way to be beautiful. They are used in everyday items, and this takes the materials out of the everyday, and the artists use them for beauty. (I hope the community) gets a deeper appreciation for what these artists do and connect with the pieces,” Graham-Hougah said. An opening reception will be held on Friday, March 11 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., giving the community the opportunity to mingle and speak to the artists. On 20 Warwick Road • Haddonfield, NJ 856-834-2843 www.peakwellnessandnutrition.com www.peakwellnessandnutrition.com March 12, MAC will also host its first of the year Free Art Community Event in connection with this exhibit. From 9 a.m. to noon, the public can have an interactive experience with Fiber, Fabrics & Foundry. There will be papermaking (making paper with paper pulp), a seek-and-find worksheet, games, refreshments and more available, allowing the public to interact and form a social connection with the art. “It gets you to look at the artwork in a different way, a more personal and meaningful way. The artists get a chance to display their artwork and get these materials into public, and the public gets to interact in a positive way with this artwork,” GrahamHougah said. Fiber, Fabrics & Foundry will be a juried exhibition. However, Graham-Hougah said anyone is allowed to enter. “If someone feels that they are an amateur artist, it is still fun to submit to your local art center; it is fun to always try to get out there. “You should feel comfortable with your local art center,” Graham-Hougah said. Risa Batterman-Dera will be the juror for the show. BattermanDera is a contemporary stained glass artist. She works in the copper foil method of stained glass popularized by Louis Tiffany in the early 1900s, which allows for graceful lines and intricate detail. The awards are $125 for Best in Show, $75 for Best Youth Entry, $75 for First Prize and $50 for Honorable mentions. For submissions, artists must complete an entry form and pay a non-refundable fee of $20 for members and $15 for non-members for one to three pieces.

We have a school that's being held with temporary braces and netting to catch falling debris. I cannot believe that "what's the rush?" is even part of their argument. For heaven's sake, we can't continue to subject our children to this. It also makes no sense to me that people are spending time trying to point fingers at who did things wrong decades ago. What's the point? The current Board of Education members were not in place during that time. Maintenance has been deferred, and it is time to stop putting it off. This current board has spent more than two years doing extensive research in conjunction with people who are experts in the field.

How much more needs to be done? There are real and pressing needs. The BOE has whittled away items that I really wish we could give to our children to take an $80 million estimate down to $35 million. They have done this in response to public feedback. They are being fiscally responsible and only suggesting projects that are essential to keep our schools standing. There's nothing left to take away from our children. They have also suggested a plan to ensure our schools don't get to this level of disrepair again. We need to unite as a town and do what's right for our children. We've got a civic responsibility. Other towns, such as Haddon Township, Cinnaminson and Moorestown, have passed similar referendums in the past two years. How can a town such as Haddonfield turn its back on our children and not do the same? Linda Hochgertel Mabel Kay thankful for party success We would like to thank the numerous people who contributed to making the Annual LEO Club's Valentine's Senior Citizens Party a huge success. The Haddonfield Memorial High School LEO Club's students who participated, decorated, served food, danced and entertained the senior citizens, deserve a standing ovation. Each year, the students put so much enthusiasm, hard work and fun into this party that each senior in attendance has such a fun afternoon. Krista Wesley and Richard Eastwick were in charge of the event and made sure the party ran smoothly and all the senior citizens had a wonderful time. We thank the students' parents for their delicious food donations. Mavis Dolbow and her dancers entertain and encourage everyone to get out on the dance floor. A thank you is also needed to Denise Sellers and the students of the Haddonfield Child Care Program for their wonderful party favors and heartfelt valentine cards please see LETTERS, page 13 FEB. 24–MARCH 1, 2016 – THE HADDONFIELD SUN 13 letterS to the editor LETTERS Continued from page 12 for each of the attendees. We also appreciate Emily Vendrick and her Haddonfield Friends School second-grade class for their valentines and homemade party decorations. We appreciate the support of the Lions Club and the Haddonfield Board of Education for allowing our event to be held in the Tatem School cafeteria. This event is one the senior citizens of Haddonfield look forward to each February and that is thanks to everyone who helps in a large or small way to make it a special Valentines celebration. Thanks so much! Nancy McCrudden Mabel Kay Senior Center Vote ‘yes’ March 8, be responsible for future As a resident of Haddonfield since 2013 and parent of a first grader, I want to ask the residents something that I ask myself nearly every day as a guide toward a purpose in life. How do you want to be remembered? How will you pay it forward? Now, before you can answer, it’s important to clarify some of the claims recently written about. First, some prefer to “wait until September and vote on a smaller bond” that would cover only the “essential repairs.” Please note the original scope of the referendum totaled roughly $80 million. It already has been diluted to only the essential repairs. The current referendum in totality is just more than $35 million, which the state will contribute roughly 30 percent, thus reducing our overall burden. Waiting until September will only delay the repairs, which won’t start until mid-2017 as it is. Why an additional delay? Because nothing can happen unless something is passed. Vote this down now only to vote “yes” in September will mean a construction start sometime in early 2018. Secondly, it’s simply not true to believe this current proposal includes “nice-to-haves” others went without. Anyone thinking this proposal includes “nice-tohaves” simply isn’t properly informed. That is, of course, unless you feel electrical outlets and improving electrical systems to handle additional loads due to technology requirements, a roof that doesn’t leak and additional safety and security items are “nice-tohaves.” Granted, when I was in school, I did without the safety and security measures, including lockdown drills. In today’s world, going without updated safety and security items to protect children is reckless. I for one don’t want to be that resident who votes this down only to witness a security breach or an electrical fire because of a lack of modern systems. I won’t be that resident. I have also read countless opinions that berate previous board members for not knowing the extent of the repairs needed for our schools earlier. These opinions imply negligence, misappropriation of funds, etc. What have we become? It’s enough. I am reminded of a quote by George Bernard Shaw which reads, “We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.” How do you want to be remembered? Are you going to be the one who helps pass this referendum in its entirety so we can move forward? Vote “yes” and look every child in the eye and say, “my legacy is to unselfishly support you, our future, just as those before me did for us. My legacy is to pay it forward.” Like you, I have been fortunate that others before me made the decision to support the causes and referendums that positively impacted my life. I am grateful to the generations before me that made great financial investments to ensure future generations could have better lives, and also pay it forward.

The excellence of the school system has been recognized on a statewide and national basis. To be expected, the investments in curriculum and staff are priorities for budget dollars, however this should not be at the expense of maintaining the normal wear and tear of our public properties. As a former COO and business owner, managing the physical assets was a primary responsibility. What has transpired with the long-term neglect of our school facilities represents a flagrant lack of fiscal duty. The very photos provided by the school board and expanded upon by resident engineer Walter Delengowski indicated clearly the long-term neglect in the maintenance of our school buildings. The deterioration did not happen overnight, and therefore it seems apparent that maintenance has been a low priority and passed on from one school board to the next. This sounds very similar to what transpired with the infrastructure of our water systems, where the responsibility for required maintenance was deferred to a point where the hole was so deep we were forced to sell the asset. As a result, the residents of Haddonfield are now being requested to approve a $35 million bond to rectify much of what could have been prevented with routine annual maintenance and the proper attention to asset management within the annual operating budget. The school board’s referendum website suggests that going forward, more dollars will be allocated within the annual budget for expanded maintenance including an annual inspection by an outside professional. The concern I have is that our school board(s) have a poor track record when it comes to accountability for facilities management. What faith can I have that this substantial investment will be protected over the longer haul? From my perspective, I want to know exactly what the extent of the appropriations will be and where and how they will be spent before I’m willing to vote in favor of a bond. Clearly, an investment to restore our facilities and prevent further deterioration is required, however is the extent of improvements as urgent as suggested? The following statement can be found within the bond referendum website: “If voters reject the critical restoration needs, the school board will likely consider what might pass on a September re-do and what could be altered to increase the chances of success.” Such a statement suggests that there are line item projects that can be modified or perhaps eliminated. Why hasn’t this been the consideration all along? Is the school board being as candid or transparent as to what the resident financiers deserve? If I’m going to be asked to accept an increase in my taxes, I want to be certain that my tax dollars are utilized in the most economical and efficient manner. For instance, it is a fact that windows do not have a major impact on energy savings. As explained by our resident engineer, the energy issues within our school buildings has to do with the configuration of our boiler systems and having the proper climate controls. So the budget dollars being allocated to windows represent a minimal return on the investment and an unnecplease see LETTERS, page 15 FEB. 24–MARCH 1, 2016 – THE HADDONFIELD SUN 15 letterS to the editor LETTERS Continued from page 14 essary expenditure, especially when you examine the satisfactory condition of the existing windows. This is just one example of where the bond could be reduced ,and there are many others. I encourage every resident to visit the CURB website, www.haddonfieldcurb.com, to learn more about why the residents of Haddonfield must not approve this bond as it will appear on the March 8 ballot. Defeating the referendum will force the school board to present a more realistic and affordable request in September. Jon Simonson Be sure to understand the bond referendum On March 8, voters will be presented with the School Facilities Bond Referendum. The referendum is structured as three separate questions. It is important to understand what your vote on each question will mean for our children. Question 1 addresses critical structural repairs required in our schools. A comprehensive assessment of district facilities revealed many structural deficiencies, including damaged masonry with eroding mortar joints – components that literally keep the buildings standing. Some areas have already required immediate, emergency repairs, but they are only temporary (approximately 18 months). The projects proposed in Question 1 involve repairs required to ensure the safety of our children. These are not frivolous or non-essential projects, as some have suggested. Sound infrastructure in the buildings that house our children for most of the day is a basic need. We should all be committed to providing this. Question 2 addresses air conditioning in all schools. Extreme temperatures (over 90 degrees recorded in some classrooms) in old buildings where windows cannot be opened in some classrooms (as they also present a safety threat due to compromised sash stability) create environmental conditions that interfere with learning and pose health threats for many of our children. Question 3 addresses the disrepair and structural failings of our high school track and stadium. The track must be resurfaced to remain usable. If we don’t repair it, our athletes will have to use other towns’ facilities, resulting in significant usage and transportation costs to our district. Additionally, the stadium has structural damage. A “no” vote on question 3 will result in restricted use of the stadium. Voting “yes” on all three questions approves the entire bond. Voting “yes” on Question 1 and “no” on Questions 2 and/or 3 will result in approval of Question 1 only. For the safety of our children, understand what a “yes” and a “no” vote will mean when you go to the polls on March 8. Aimee Subramanian Support schools by voting ‘no’ March 8 I was both troubled and bemused by a recent full-page advertisement in another Haddonfield paper that took aim at a long-time resident who had expressed in a letter to the editor of this paper her concerns about the Board of Education’s upcoming $35 million bond referendum. The ad went out of its way to accuse the resident of spreading “false and misleading statements.” Yet, contrary to the charge leveled by the ad, it is the ad itself that is guilty as charged. Case in point: In its very first paragraph, the ad attacks the resident’s statement that the bond would cost Haddonfield residents $35 million. The ad claims, “the cost to taxpayers will be under $22 million – a very significant difference.” Indeed, a cost of $22 million would be a “very significant difference,” if only it were a true statement.

The problem is that the ad writer forgot to consider the pesky little reality called “interest,” namely the approximately $12 million in interest that Haddonfield residents would also have to bear for this bond. Those interest payments bring the total cost of the bond for Haddonfield residents from the approximately $22 million claimed in the ad to approximately $35 million. The ad’s omission of that key cost is like claiming that your $2,000 mortgage really costs only $1,400 because you can just ignore the $600 in interest. After that thud of an opener, the ad quickly goes downhill to the end. It states, for example, that Haddonfield residents are “not alone” in considering expensive school bonds and suggests that we should take comfort in the fact that Moorestown recently passed a big one. Is the ad writer not aware that the Moorestown school district and budget are nearly twice the size of Haddonfield’s? And that Moorestown’s public schools are supported by a large commercial tax base that includes Fortune 500 companies such as Lockheed Martin and gargantuan commercial ratables such as those attached to the Moorestown Mall? The ad also claims that we must spend $1 million on upgrades to the high school stadium to bring the structure “up to code.” My understanding is that the stadium is a grandfathered structure, generally exempt from current codes. Also claimed is that preparation for commencement of work under the bond could take up to 15 months, when in fact other large school facilities bonds in Haddonfield have taken much less time. At any rate, most of the projects in the bond wouldn’t start until the summer of 2017 anyway. A visit to Haddonfieldcurb.com might help the ad writer evaluate the bond more accurately for voters. And, he might be inclined to modify his conclusion to a more logical "vote no” – I say as a strong supporter of our schools who wants to see money spent wisely, and who is looking forward to a more responsible bond from the BOE soon. Walter Weidenbacher Bond addresses issues of safety and health For months, the Haddonfield Board of Education has been investigating the safety of our schools. By November of this past year, it was able to isolate the most crucial needs to repair, and it presented its recommendations along with the estimated costs to the public.

I hope they feel excited for the workers, and sympathy for them, and happy when they see Sid and Babe because of their love, and sad when they aren’t together,” Moles said. The favorite parts for the cast are the high-energy song and dance numbers, learning different acting skills, and interacting with and making friends. The hardest part about this production has been rebuilding the program after graduating a large group of dedicated and talented seniors last year. “I know there are a lot of expectations because (the class of 2015) was a fantastic cast. Knowing I had to fill their shoes it’s made me work really hard with BRIGIT BAUMA/The Sun In the HMHS musical ‘The Pajama Game,’ Sleep Tite owner Myron Hasler, played by Sean Wilksonson, left, asks Sid Sorkin, played by Jeremiah Slack-Welles, center left, why he has flung Vernon Hines, played by Cuinlan Pedretti, to the floor, as he has been throwing knives at Sid and Gladys Hotchkiss, played by Emily Pinsky, in jealousy. this show and know I can’t just put a good foot forward, but a best foot forward,” Slack-Welles said. “We have a young cast this year, but they have exceeded my expectations and the result is another high-quality show that people have come to expect of our drama club,” DiDonato said. The director hopes the audience will be entertained and that it becomes immersed in the time period and characters the students are trying to recreate. He also hopes audiences take away a little moral from the musical. “Ultimately, the story of Babe, Sid and the rest of the employees at Sleep Tite reminds us to stay firm in holding on to the ideals we believe in and to follow our hearts,” DiDonato said. Performances are held at the HMHS auditorium on March 4, 5, 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10. There is a Sunday matinee on March 6 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $7 or four for $25 for that show. Tickets may be purchased at the door or in the main office during school hours. HMHS is located at 401 Kings Highway East. “I hope that they see the drama club has a lot of potential and look forward to seeing shows in the future,” senior Sean Wilkinson, playing Myron Hasler, said. 20 THE HADDONFIELD SUN — FEB. 24–MARCH 1, 2016 letterS to the editor LETTERS Continued from page 16 assuming such a difficult task, and for being so thoughtful and transparent with their work. The children and staff in the Haddonfield public school district spend the majority of their days within these buildings, which are in great need of repair. Over the years, we have observed some improvements, which have helped to repair immediate concerns. Now, however, the community has the opportunity to invest in these buildings to provide for a safer and more stable learning environment. Our district motto has been “Growing in Excellence,” and we have continued to offer that excellence despite conditions that could be hazardous and unhealthy. Here is a list of some of the many concerns for our students and staff: • Leaking roofs in classrooms, offices and the high school auditorium. This creates an environment conducive to mold and deterioration. • Frequently damaged classroom supplies, student work and extracurricular materials from these leaks. • Windows without screens and windows that cannot open/shut properly, both allow water and insects to enter the classroom. • The walls of the HMHS BGym and cafeteria are literally crumbling. Other rooms in that wing are shut down, having been deemed unsafe for student use. • Sidewalks, staircases and entryways that are not ADA compliant (accessible to those with physical needs). • Outdated communication systems that do not allow for safe and swift notification in emergencies. During emergency announcements, some classrooms and student areas could be left vulnerable. • Lack of air conditioning in many classrooms makes learning very difficult, especially for students with allergies and asthma. Temperatures often reach 95 degrees indoors in May, June and September. We believe the BOE has investigated the source of these problems and has narrowed its focus to an essential list of improvements at a reasonable price, especially in comparison to local districts. According to the New Jersey School Boards Association, Haddon Township, Cinnaminson and Moorestown all passed referendums in 2014 between $33.2 million and $40.2 million. The board has presented a very reasonable scope for this project, and it has been mindful of the costs and has already reduced them drastically from the earliest stages of the process. In addition, by law, the district is restricted to a 2 percent cap on its annual budget to cover all increases in benefits, energy, supplies, etc.; this limitation makes it impossible to do these building projects within the normal operating budget. Furthermore, if the referendum passes, the state will provide up to 40 percent of the funding, a tremendous savings for taxpayers. From September through June, more than 2,800 students and staff are regularly in these facilities. That number increases with community members attending athletic events, musicals, plays, concerts, Adult School classes, First Night festivities, Memorial Day services and the Fourth of July fireworks. Even for those Haddonfield residents without children in the K-12 program, the buildings serve multiple purposes and have become central to the town’s needs. We would not maintain our own homes this way: the problems simply must be fixed. We can repair them now or later, but the longer we wait, the worse the problems become and the more expensive it will be to fix them. We encourage all community members to attend an information session and to visit the referendum website (www.HaddonfieldBondReferendum.com) to learn more about the specific needs for each building. We take pride in the accomplishments of our students and staff. Why would we not give them a safe, sturdy place to learn? We are not talking about luxuries. These are matters of structural integrity, safety and health. Please support our schools, students and staff on March 8.
