Noni Bookbinder Bell has livedon McKendimen Road in Sha-mong for the past 17 years.

Through the years she has seena few bad accidents, and she wor-ries that speeding will causemore fatal ones.

“The road starts down byShawnee High School where it isBearhead Road and continues upto Tuckerton,” Bell said. “A cou-ple blocks up is 206. The speedimit in the Shamong portion is 25

mph.”Bell, who studied urban plan-

ning and land use law in collegeand sits on the Shamong Town-ship Joint Land Use Board, feelsthat the road is too wide andstraight and welcomes motoriststo speed.

Previous to sitting on the JointLand Use Board, Bell sat on theShamong Township ZoningBoard.

“In my opinion the road is toowide and straight,” Bell said.“They always told us in collegethat a road that wide and straights conducive for speeding. I think

out here they made it like that be-cause of the limited parkingspace.”

Bell feels that motorists speed-ing, coupled with distractions,such as talking and texting on cellphones, will prove fatal for some-one driving or walking.

“You can always tell when thekids get out of school around 2 or3. They come racing down theroad, and they’re not even theworst ones,” Bell said. “I wouldsay the bus drivers are the worst.”

Through the years, Bell saidthat there have been some fatalaccidents.

Because so many people usethe road to ride bikes, walk theirpets or for exercise, she hopesthat people will slow down so thatthere will not be another fatality.

Bell said research shows thatdespite monetary costs associatedwith points on one’s license forspeeding, several Web sites statespeeding is the main cause of fatal accidents in New Jersey.

In an effort to deal with theproblem, the township did put aspeed bump on the road.

However, Bell said that resi-dents complained about it and thetownship will not put in addition-al ones.

Many these days are hoping to

fill their stomachs with healthyeats by filling their dinner plateswith local, organic produce andmeats.

But the question that begs to beasked is, “Well, where did it comefrom?”

If you shop at the BurlingtonCounty Farmers Market inMoorestown, some of those eggsor chickens, if they were stillalive, could have basically walked

to the weekly outdoor market ontheir own.

Each Saturday morning, JoannDarmo, along with her husband,

brother and father-in-law, takeCox Road to Hartford Road, arriv-ing 2.1 miles from their originand approximately five minuteslater at 500 Centerton Rd., the siteof the Burlington County Com-munity Agricultural Center,home of the market, now in itsfifth year.

The Darmo’s children are partof the fifth generation in the fam-ily to work the farm.

“Local is a big thing herfarmers market gets it thafter it’s picked,” Darmo sai

This is the fourth year th

mos have sold crops at theket. If you head to the marSaturday, you can expect tothe usual suspects such as toes, white corn, peppersplant and cucumbers at peak from Darmo’s Farmfarm also carries peachemelons.

Darmo said the “buying mentality has helped businethe farm’s stand, which isevery day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.

“It’s cut down on diestransportation costs and tDarmo said. “It’s a big dfarmers and it’s helped us.”

Is 7.7 miles still local for you?

Thought so. That’s the difrom Hunter’s Vegetable FaCinnaminson to the market.

The farm, owner Amy said, has been family owneoperated for nine consegenerations since 1760. Thely also operates a retail mseven days a week at the 12farm at 1101 Union Landing

week, too.“Buying local – it’s the freshest

flavor. The corn gets toMoorestown when it was picked

that morning,” Hunter said. “Italso puts local food money backinto the community.”

The farmers market currentlyhosts 20 local agricultural ven-dors, with neighborhood farmslike Darmo’s and Little HoovesRomneys, which sells fresh lamb,eggs and fleece, all the way to

Princeton and Kennett Square,Pa.

Other local vendors includeBusy Bee Farm, which special-

Peace no moreNo longer a wonderful life in Trenton

Remember way back when, oh, a couple of weeks ago,when Democrat and Republican leaders in Trenton

joined hands and sang “We Are the World”?Remember the good times? The times when everyone got

along? That new era of bi-parti-sanship that would see politi-cians from across the spectrumstanding shoulder-to-shoulderto right the wrongs of ourworld?

Umm. Nevermind.The irrational exuberance

that we witnessed when a deal was reached on state workerhealth and pension benefits all went away when Gov. Christievetoed a bill and Senate President Stephen Sweeney – best bud-dies only hours before – called the governor a bunch of names.Among the names were “punk” and “Mr. Potter” from “It’s aWonderful Life.”

You may be hearing bells right now, but nobody is getting anywings.

Sweeney was upset because he took the governor’s veto per-sonally. The Early Intervention System was one of the cuts. Ac-cording to NorthJersey.com, Sweeney’s daughter benefitedfrom that program.

Was Sweeney over the top with his comments? Of course. Butit’s hard to knock someone for such an honest response. Ourguess it was more Dad than Senate President saying thosethings.

The political maneuverings will play out. There may be an at-tempt to override the veto. There may not be. Such an attemptmight be successful – or not. And maybe the spirit of cooper-ation has disappeared. At least for now.

But passion is a good thing. Standing up and fighting forwhat you believe in is a good thing.

Perhaps there are ways to channel that passion in ways thatcan bring us back around to righting some of those wrongs.

“For two years we have beenworking on a booklet about

Springfield, but, when we about this, we wanted something small out,” said. “So we are going to psmall booklet for sale.”
