Interim superintendent contracted

Moorestown BOE approves Carole L. Butlers appointment
for a seven-month period, effective Dec. 1 through July 1
By BRIGIT BAUMA
The Sun
The Board of Education has
officially chosen Director of
Curriculum and Instruction Carole L. Butler as its interim superintendent.

At the BOE special meeting

on Tuesday, Dec. 1, the board
unanimously voted in favor of
naming Butler as interim superintendent of schools. Butlers
contract is effective from Dec. 1
to July 1.
I just want to thank you very

much for this opportunity, and I

appreciate working in this new
role for the time being we have
scheduled, Butler said to the
board. Im very excited for the
opportunity, as it is a career goal
please see BUTLER, page 14

The Moorestown Town Council

will see an empty seat at the next
meeting, as Councilman Greg
Newcomer has resigned.
At the council meeting on Monday, Dec. 1, Newcomer announced
his resignation, effective immediately, much to the shock of
council and the public.
I feel like it was a great decision. I certainly will miss it very
much, but I need to move on and
do the things that I need to do. I
need to get my throat better, and,
after having major surgery, you
have a regimen to do, so Im just
trying to keep up with those
things. Someone else can step up
and do what is needed to be done
and best for town, Newcomer
said.
Newcomer made the announcement early in the meeting,
citing his health and wanting to
spend more time with his family
as reasons for leaving. Newcomer
received a kidney transplant earlier this year.
The councilman made his decision to resign after much thinking and resolved it would be for
the best.
I just needed to spend more

time with my
family and the
things I am
doing, like taking care of my
health, Newcomer said.
According
to Township
Manager Scott
Carew, the anNEWCOMER
nouncement
came as a shock to everyone in
the room and took over the atmosphere of the meeting. Newcomer
did not reveal his plans prior to
the meeting. Carew said after the
shock, there was concern for his
health.
(We all) understand how important Moorestown is to him. He
was a passionate volunteer long
before council. For him to step
back, it mustve been difficult for
him. It makes one concerned for
his health and well-being, Carew
said.
Prior to his election, Newcomer was very active in the community for almost all of his 30 years
in town. Newcomer participated
in the townships recreation department, Third Floor Committee, Moorestown Youth Baseball,

application and an announcement of the cancellation of the

Township Council Boards and
Committees Dinner. All ordinances and resolutions were
passed unanimously that night by
a 4-0 vote.
Toward the end of each year,
the township hosts the Township
Council Boards and Committees
Dinner. This year, it was planned
for Dec. 7 at the Moorestown Community House. It was announced
the dinner would be cancelled
and the funds usually used for the
dinner would instead go toward
the MCH for its rebuilding efforts,
Township Manager Scott Carew
said.
The MCH was damaged by a
fire on Nov. 17. The fire was mostly contained to the attic, and the
house has since begun the
process of reopening, but still
isnt fully operational.
The township staff was work-

ing hand in hand to help the MCH

early on by hosting events the
MCH was to host and told the
groups that moved their events to
township facilities to, instead of
paying the township, make a donation to the MCH.
For its next meeting, council is
inviting the firefighters, police,
volunteers and citizens who
helped with the fire that night so
council can honor their efforts,
according to Carew. The MCH
board is also invited to attend.
Also during the meeting, there
was the discussion of name considerations for two ball fields on
Lenola Road, located near the
Lenola Firehouse on the opposite
side of the street. The name of
former Mayor Walter T. Maahs
was brought up, and Mayor Victoria Napolitano read a poignant

Slow down out there

Use caution when driving on the roads, especially this time of year

Dan McDonough Jr.

chairman of elauwit media

ow many times have you seen

it: People driving around town
throwing caution to the wind,
as if they were on a NASCAR track?
Youd think someone was giving away
free hundred dollar bills.
Do they not know we have children
walking around town? Do they not
care about the safety of other motorists? Do they not care about their
own safety?
Seems like today, everyone is in a
rush at all times; it seems like its getting worse with each passing year.
Somehow, by some miracle, New Jersey drivers arent the worst in the nation, at least according to an annual

Your thoughts
How bad is the driving out there? How can
we get better? Should more regulations
be put on New Jersey drivers to improve
safety? Let your thoughts be heard
through a letter to the editor.

study recently released by CarInsuranceComparison.com. Well, were almost the worst we rank 45th on this
list of the nations worst drivers.
If were not the worst, wed hate to
be on the road in Minnesota, whose
drivers were collectively ranked as the
worst in the nation.
Even though were not as bad as
some of our American brethren, its

worth repeating: Slow down out there!

Nothing can be of such importance
that you need to speed and drive erratically ... every time you drive! Its just
not possible that your wife is giving
birth for the fifth time this week.
Our children are walking our
streets. Our elderly are still behind the
wheel. Our ready, willing and able are
out on the roads, trying to get shopping
done. And ts going to be extra crowded
like this for a few more weeks yet.
Lets make sure everyone gets where
theyre going safely. Lets all share the
road with each other, and lets stop
being such maniacs even if were not
the most maniacal in the country.

Moorestown school district gives projections

for 2016-2017 budget, with $1.4 million deficit
By BRIGIT BAUMA
The Sun
At the Moorestown Township Board of
Education special meeting, business administrator Lynn Shugars gave a presentation on early budget projections for the
2016-2017 school year. The projections have
a deficit of $1.4 million, based on expenditures of $68 million and revenue of $66.6
million, including a 2 percent tax levy increase.
These are just projections. This is basically just taking the 2015-2016 budget and
projecting it into the 2016-2017 budget.
These are not exact numbers, these are just
estimates, Shugars said.
The school district begins the budget
process early to see challenges and other
things that need to be thought about for the
upcoming year. Shugars gave the presentation to make the board aware of the upcoming year.
For 2016-2017, it is predicted that expenditures will total around $68 million, which

is a 3.99 percent increase over the 2015-2016

school year. This is based off an increase in
lease purchase, for technology and textbooks, 2 percent increase in salaries and
12.6 percent increase in employee benefits.
Revenue predicted is $66.6 million, including a 2 percent tax levy hike. That leaves
the school district with a $1.4 million
deficit.
The district has the possibility to use
banked cap from the 2013-2014 school year,
totaling $742,894. However, that would still
leave about a $700,000 gap.
The potential tax impact for the average
assessed home at $446,500 would result in
an increase of $121.46 at a 2 percent
tax levy increase and $204.95 with banked
cap added.
Our revenues are not keeping up with
our expenditures and we have the potential
of a deficit, just using projections, of $1.4
million. So that is something we will have
to think about as we move into this budget.
Are there other revenue sources we can tap
into? Are there other cost-cutting measures

to make those revenues and expenditures

even out? Shugars asked.
During the presentation, Shugars also
suggested the board bring back the idea of
having a participation fee, or pay-to-play,
for sports, clubs and theater. This would
create additional revenue for the school
district. The participation fee example
used that night was $100 for clubs, sports
and theater in the high school and $75 in
the middle school.
Board members talked about their concerns with the pay-to-play numbers, as
some activities cost more than others and
it doesnt seem fair for everyone to pay the
same amount, they said.
It is anticipated the board will once
again receive updates on the 2016-2017
budget process in January, the first week of
February after budget software and guidelines are released, and the first week of
March after the release of state aid. The
initial submission for the budget is March
22. A public hearing will be held between
April 25 and May 9.

Micah

Buchdahl
of
Moorestown has been appointed
chair of the American Bar Associations Standing Committee on Continuing
Legal Education, the entity that oversees CLE
for the largest professional organization of lawyers in the world.
Buchdahl, president of the law
marketing consultancy HTMLawyers, was appointed by ABA
president Paulette Brown.
There are numerous critical
issues surrounding the continuing legal education of attorneys,
said Buchdahl. They include diversity of faculty, consistency of
educational requirements from
state to state, how lawyers should
best be positioned to meet CLE requirements and how bar associations are best positioned to deliv-

er them.
Buchdahl, a Pennsylvania licensed attorney, has held numerous ABA leadership positions, including serving
as past chair of the Law
Practice Division and a
board member and presenter for
the ABA Institute for New Partners. He received his law degree
from Temple University School of
Law in 1991, and his Bachelor of
Arts degree from Temple in 1985.

was proud of working to help get

the Town Hall and library finished and up and running, helping the recreation building get
new items such as the kitchen
and being a part of the process
for other infrastructures.
Newcomer had one year remaining on his term. It will be up
to the Democratic Party to submit
three nominees to fill the remainder of his term. One of two actions can be taken from there.
The first would be to have council
choose one of the nominations to
fulfill Newcomers unexpired
term. If council does not choose
one of those nominated, the Democratic Party would then choose
from those it has nominated.
The person would then be
sworn in like any other council
member and fill the seat of the
unexpired term. The seat is up for
election next November.
Newcomer hopes council con-

tinues to work toward solutions

in the best manner and that
boards and committees keep involved. He would also like to see
everyone participate in town as
much as possible.
I think this town is great. The
town has a lot of great assets and
will continue to make progress in
all areas The staff, fire department, police, volunteers and the
like, they all work hard to make
the town what it is, and we need
to keep going forward to keep this
town great, Newcomer said.
This wont be the last you see of
Newcomer, as he said he would
like to continue to try to participate in the town, down the road.
I want to thank everyone who
has helped me along the way. It
has been wonderful to be involved
in all of these things in town. It is
always the work of many hands;
we have a lot of great involved

the naming. Council was unanimously in support of naming the

fields after him.
Maahs was described to have
had a tremendous influence on
the Moorestown and Lenola community and continues to have influence that is still positive and
significant today. Councilwoman
Stacey Jordan said he was an inspiration for her to follow in
terms of civic involvement when
she moved to town, according to
Carew.
After the discussion, Carew
said he would report back to
council on what needs to be done
to officially change the names of
the fields and all other details at
the next council meeting.

The public hearing for the resolution authorizing the 2016 Application for Funding Under Community Development Block Grant
was held last week as well. The
township would like to use the
grant to install ADA-compliant
curb ramps in certain areas of
the township known to be used by
elderly residents and those with
physical disabilities. It was legislation that Newcomer pushed for
while on council.
He brought this idea to my attention earlier this year. Unfortunately, he left and didnt get to
vote on it, Carew said.
The rest of council unanimously approved the resolution. If the
township is able to secure the
funding, ramps would be placed
at: Union Street/West Main
Street; Union Street/West Third
Street; Somers Avenue/Highland
Avenue; Crescent Avenue/High-

Three ordinances of note were
approved on second reading:
The ordinance to replace various water mains, calling for the
appropriation of $1.65 million
and the issuance of $1.57 million
in bonds or notes
The ordinance replacing the
position of police director with a
police chief
The ordinance that would set
the police chief s salary between
$110,000 and $165,000. The longevity cap is set at $8,580.

Harry Johnson passed away in
April. There is a civil service
process the township must go
through to determine the permanent chief. The process to appoint
the police chief will take place in
2016.
Other ordinances approved on
second reading were for the 2016
Roads Resurfacing Program, reconstruction of Walnut Avenue
and a portion of Third Street,
purchase of police vehicles and
equipment, purchase of various
public works vehicles and equipment, installation of field lighting
controls at Wesley Bishop Park
and Pryor Park, and various pavement repairs.
Two ordinances were introduced and approved on first reading at the meeting as well. The
first ordinance was a change to
salaries and compensation for an
additional position at the Recreation Department. The second ordinance will have some changes
in fees under the construction
code.
Further details on each ordinance can be found on the township website, www.moorestown.
