Spring conditions favorable for forest firesBy SHANNON CAULFIELD

The Shamong Sun

One of the biggest misconcep-tions about forest fires is the timeof year they burn.

Fires burn and spread in thespring and fall due to low humidi-ty, according to Section ForestFire Warden Tom Gerber.

The conditions in the monthsof March, April and May are themost favorable for forest fires, ac-cording to Gerber.

High winds are most con-ducive to forest fires in thespring. The sun shines this timeof the year directly down on theleaves and needle litter, Gerbersaid. Everything hasnt leafedout yet and that dries out.

According to Gerber, if thearea receives an inch of rain, con-ditions could still be high the nextday due to the sun drying the areaand high winds.

If we have multiple days ofdecent drying, the spotty showerscan make it moderate, but it couldbe high fire danger by the after-

noon, said Forest Fire Observer

SHANNON CAULFIELD/The Shamong Sun

Forest Fire Observer Ben Brick demonstrates how the observers in surrounding towers record weather conditions to determine the level oflow, moderate, high, very high or extreme wildfire danger levels. Brick checks the weather two times a day, taking into consideration the levelof humidity and wind.

Money is always an issue.

Families are constantly

pinching pennies, looking

for ways to reduce expenses. School

districts and municipal governments

are doing the same, hoping to help

lower, or at least stabilize, the amount

of tax money they require to live in

town.

The challenge has always been, and

will continue to be, how these entities

can control costs while still providing

high-quality services that their resi-

dents demand. The state of New Jersey

certainly isnt helping much through

aid, and its unlikely that will change

any time soon.

So the onus is on the local municipal

governments and school districts to get

creative: Not only what can be cut from

expenses, but what can be added to rev-

enues.

For awhile now, the idea of private

sponsorship of public facilities has

been tossed around. Selling banners to

local businesses at Little League fields,

or having that business sponsor a

youth sports team has been the norm

for quite some time. And no one seems

to have a problem with that.

But throw in the possibility of sell-

ing naming rights at a field or, worse

even, a building or complex, and excep-

tions start to arise. When is enough

enough? the detractors ask. Does

everything need to be sold?

We agree that there is a fine line be-

tween tasteful, effective sponsorship

and over-the-line, banner-on-every-

inch-of-the-field advertising. Think

Major League 2 here (for all you

sports movie fans).

Moorestown Township recently ap-

proved an ordinance on first reading

that, if passed, would establish an offi-

cial sponsorship program. Officials

say that the program would increase

township revenues and help with im-

provements and maintenance of recre-

ational fields.

Annual banner and sponsorship op-

portunities will be available, with nam-

ing rights being offered as five- or 10-

year deals, with minimum bids of

$5,000 and $35,000, respectively. To en-

sure proper material, businesses wont

be allowed to advertise the sale of alco-

hol, tobacco, adult-oriented material or

other items not consistent with pro-

moting the youth sports program and

the positive image of the township.

We applaud Moorestown Township

for its work in this regard, and we urge

other townships to follow suit.

If done correctly, sponsorships and

naming rights can provide a huge in-

flux of cash to youth sports leagues, to

school districts and to municipal gov-

ernments.

This field brought to you by...Its time for governments, schools to utilize sponsorships at fields, buildings

Too much advertising?

Do you agree that sponsorship is a goodidea? Or do you think that enough isenough? Let us know your thoughtsthrough a letter to the editor.

ementary school to positively af-fect reading and literacy skills.

We had five sections in thefourth grade and took the fifthteacher from fourth grade andput them in third grade to de-crease the class size, Szymanskisaid. It will increase attentionwith students and studentachievement.

According to Szymanski, therelationship between teachersand students will be just fine as

a result, and no classrooms willhave more than 24 children.The district has recently seen a

trend of decreasing enrollment.

Its a concern for the entire re-gion. The majority of the dis-tricts in the Lenape RegionalHigh School District region areseeing a trend in a drop in enroll-

ment, especially going toSeneca, Szymanski said.

Less students means lessstate aid. Thats a concern fromthat point of view.

Currently, there is no long-term plan in regard to enroll-ment.

The demographics are whatthey are, Szymanski said.

The economy has an impact,and were a Pinelands communi-ty as well.

The board held its reorgani-zation at the meeting.According to Szymanski, the

board went through the list of ap-

pointments for the upcomingyear, including the reappoint-ment of the attorney and ac-countant.

Additionally, teacher and aide

profiles were published for the2013-14 school year.

The board appointed in-housestaff to continue curriculumwriting.

According to Szymanski, nextyear, there will be a new mathe-matics program as a continua-tion from the elementary school.

The creation of benchmarkand summit of assessments forlanguage arts literacy will all bedone, Szymanski said.

Buildings and Grounds Su-pervisor Todd Hall provided a de-tailed report of the safety fea-tures put in place in the new year.

I think that everything we putinto place will help make us justa little bit safer, Szymanski said.

Tower constructed in1948 after World War II

Ben Brick, who watches theforested areas of Marlton, Med-ford, Shamong and Tabernacle.He is stationed at the tower inMedford Lakes off Stokes Road.

According to Gerber, the areahas been deemed a WildlandUrban Interface, due to residentsintegrated in a densely woodedarea.

Were the eyes in the sky foreveryone on the ground, Bricksaid.

The Medford Lakes tower wasconstructed in 1948 after WorldWar II and stands 141 feet tall, ac-cording to Gerber.

Gerber oversees Division Bwith towers at Apple Pie Hill inTabernacle, three stations in Bat-sto, the Cedar Bridge Station,Jamesburg, Lakewood, Lebanonand Medford.

According to Brick, the towers

stay in constant contact, especial-ly when a forest fire is burning.

When Brick identifies smoke,he looks into the sight glass topinpoint its approximate locationon a round map of the area with astring, providing him with a coor-dinate.

Hopefully, another tower cansee the smoke, and theyll gettheir degree, and well line it upto pinpoint where it is, Bricksaid.

After receiving the sight loca-tions by radio from two of thenearest towers, Brick uses az-imuth circles, a navigational toolwith strings located in the center

of the circle along a map, to trian-gulate where the fire is located.

According to Gerber, the sys-tem is accurate up to a few yards.

There are newer systems thatprobably wouldnt work as well.Theyre usually infrared or digi-tal cameras that probably would-nt be as good as if the person wasdoing it for you, Gerber said.Its an old tried and true sys-tem.

Once the fire is called in, threetrucks that can hold up to 500 gal-lons of water each, equipment for

the firefighters and a bulldozerare dispatched to the scene.As of April 8, the state Forest

Fire Service has responded to 230wildfires that burned 293 acres,compared with 461 fires thatburned 1,994 acres during thesame period last year, accordingto a release.

Over the weekend of April 5, 42wildfires were reported acrossNew Jersey, burning 182 acres.The largest section that burnedwas in an extremely remote 150

acres of Wharton State Forest inBurlington County. According tothe release, the state is still inves-tigating the cause of the fire.

Brick checks the weather twotimes a day, taking into considera-tion the level of humidity andwind. The information deter-mines if the day is low, moderate,high, very high or extreme wild-fire danger levels.

According to Gerber, fires canstart for a number of reasons, in-cluding hot carbon from a brakeshoe, burning leaves in the back-yard, people intentionally settingfires, cigarettes and kids playingwith matches.
