Finding Common Ground is aproject in Shamong and sur-rounding areas that aims to edu-cate, maintain and beautify openspace to be used for education,hiking, biking and trailing.

Ten years ago, the PinelandsPreservation Alliance created theSummer Teacher Institute tobring Pinelands curriculum andissues to a broader audience. Forthe first six years, program par-ticipants gained field experiencein ecology, archaeology and vari-ous other subjects in thePinelands. The program wanted

to use the same teachers eachtime because it found that theyworked better together.

You get more bang for yourbuck when you use the sameteachers, John Volpa, creator ofFinding Common Ground said.You get the value of a team

working together.The Summer Teacher Institute

is a week-long program and hasapproximately 24 participants.

The program is free and theteachers get professional teach-ing credits, Volpa said. Thisprogram is also site and audiencespecific.

Finding Common Ground wasinfluenced by many differentvariables, including Volpas in-volvement with the SummerTeacher Institute. In 2003, Volpabecame part of the Environmen-tal Commission in Evesham andSustainable Evesham. He wasalso an avid biker.

While I was riding my bike

one day, I said to myself, Im theonly one here, this is beautiful,why isnt anyone here? Volpasaid.

What Volpa found was thatmany people didnt use the trailsbecause ATV riders and otherswere destroying them. A few

years back, Volpa proached by Barbara Sauthor of Ghost Tother quirky places iJersey Pine Barrens,help about an issue.

Shamong Township schools re-cently received additional statefunding that will be used for tax-payer relief, officials said.

In a 3-2 state Supreme Courtruling that took place in May, thecourt ruled that the state had torestore approximately $500 mil-lion to Abbott districts.

Abbott districts are low-in-come school districts, and thereare 31 in the state.

Recently, the state announcedthat it is giving the Abbott dis-tricts $450 million and an addi-tional $150 million to non-Abbottdistricts.

The state is also giving an addi-tional $250 million to all schooldistricts for the 2012 budget year.This equals to $850 million in ad-ditional aid to the school districtsfor the year.

While many school districts

dont know if this funding will bearound next year, they are puttingplans together as to what to dowith the money this year.

Shamong, which had a budgetcut off $631,021 last year, will re-ceive $3,977,940 in total fundingfrom the state for the 2011-12

school year. This includes an ad-ditional $126,356 in funding thatthe school district was informedof recently.

The state will begin to send thefunding in September.

The state aid is sent to us in 20equal bi-monthly installmentsstarting September, School Busi-ness Administrator MichaelMados said.

Throughout the various 591school districts in New Jersey,many will apply the money in dif-ferent ways. Some may restorestaff, programs, give the moneyback to the taxpayers or a mix ofsome of these options.

Shamong has decided to givethe additional $126,356 back to thetaxpayers in the form of propertytax relief. The tax relief will bearound three cents off the taxrate or $42 for the average Sha-mong Township homeowner, offi-cials said. Shamong school offi-cials is not sure of whether the

additional funding will be aroundnext year, and, because it is re-turning the additional funding tothe taxpayers, the $126,356 willnot affect the 2011-12 school yearbudget, as it is already in place.This years budget offers little tono program or staffing cuts.

For one half, Alpha Q was asgood, if not better than the un-beaten defending champion TeamAwesome, for one half both teamswere dead even locked in a 25-25game, a offensive showdownwhich saw each team answeringeach others scoring, but thencame the second half.

This season was as successful

as we could have hoped, ConnorHughes said. We were competi-tive, we won two of our last threegames and we ended the seasongoing blow for blow with the bestteam in this entire league. Thisteams potential is limitless.

Even though we lost, thisgame still feels like we won,starting defensive back and run-ning back Ryan Kuski said.

After one half the score wasdead even. Unfortunately AlphaQ just couldnt keep up with thehigh-powered run and gun of-fense of Team Awesome. TeamAwesome went on a run in thesecond half scoring on every of-fensive possession, a feat that

Alpha Q wasnt able to match.We tried our hardest to keep

with these guys, Hughes said.In the first half we were withthem; but in the second half theirexperience, their knowledge ofbeing in the playoffs and being de-fending champs really shinedthrough. But one thing is for sure;everyone knows Alpha Q is no

pushover.The score of 52-36 shows one

story, the game another. Alpha Qsoffense was at its best, seeing fivestarters reach the end zone andmatched so much of Team Awe-somes firepower with just asmuch of their own. CorinnePawlowski continued her incredi-ble season pulling in two touch-downs; receiver Conner Doudadded another, which gave AlphaQ all the signs in the world that abright future is just ahead ofthem.

Our entire offense is comingback next season, we were able toscore with the best in a yearwhich we have only been playing

together for what, eight weeks,Hughes said. The teams we areplaying have been together threeto four years, and we were match-ing all of them stride to stride. Tosee what we accomplished thisseason and to know we can now

With the large exhibitor tentspitched and ready, final landscap-

ing touches completed, new walk-ways finished and a midway ofcolorful amusement rides inplace, Burlington County Free-holders assembled with other offi-cials and guests to officially dedi-cate the new Burlington CountyFairgrounds in Springfield Town-ship last week.

The event was marked by tworibbon cuttings. Freeholder Di-rector Bruce Garganio broke thefirst ribbon aboard a tractor, lead-ing a parade of tractors onto thesite. The cutting of a second rib-bon across the wide entry to thesite was joined in by all in atten-dance.

I congratulate and thank all ofyou who are with us today, be-cause you are sharing in what is

truly a milestone in the history ofBurlington County, Garganio

said. Years from now memoriesand photographs from todaysevent will be circulated, and youwill be able to say, with pride andsatisfaction, that you were there.

For decades, the Farm Fair hasbeen a regular happening on theVillage Green in Lumberton, buthas become squeezed in recentyears by increasing populationand traffic, not to mention its ownoffering of exhibits and activities.

Working with the BurlingtonCounty Farm Fair Association,freeholders identified the 640-acresod farm off Route 206, at Jack-sonville-Jobstown Road, as anideal replacement, and purchasedthe property, which had faced po-tential residential development,in 2004 for $4.5 million.

Garganio told those assembledfor last weeks ceremony that the

purchase was and still is thelargest acquisition the county hasever made. Sixty acres have beenearmarked for the fairgrounds,which will also host equestrian, 4-H and other events throughoutthe year.

The remaining major portionof the property will remain asopen space, and is destined to fea-ture an expansive network oftrails sometime in the future.

With recent reports statingthat promising signs have beenseen in the national real estatemarket, many homeowners look-ing to sell may be wonderingwhere exactly those signs are as

each day of their contract passeswithout a buyer.

According to Mark McKenna ofPat McKenna Realtors, theres a99.9 percent chance the problemis the asking price.

He said, despite the fact that areal turnaround in the real estatemarket is at least another year ortwo away, a home that basicallylooks good and is priced rightshould sell in a short period oftime.

Its kind of a funny market be-cause if a house is priced rightand it looks good, it sells in twoweeks, McKenna, based in Marl-ton, said. If its not priced right,it sits there for a good six months.

Pricing is key out of the gate.When he says out of the gate,

he means that sellers shouldntnecessarily list their home forwhat they want to get and then siton it patiently. It should be pricedfor what the homeowner needs and what a buyer should realisti-cally expect to pay.

McKenna added that an up-to-date appraisal is key to knowingwhat a house should be priced at.

In his area, McKenna is cur-rently seeing average sale pricesin the area of $320,000.

He said that a normal hous-ing market doesnt exist anymore,so its important not to look toofar into a comparison of thatamount to previous years. Howev-er, he did say that sale prices arecurrently a hair lower than lastyear.

There are currently about 5,000homes listed in Burlington Coun-ty, of which 638 or 12 percent are under contract, McKennasaid. Again, he said the low num-

ber of inventory undis mostly due to appeprice.

In order to sell a honeed to walk in yoursay, This is a good buna said. If its not a gowill not sell.

Something else that

turn the housing maris the fact that the renis currently throughMcKenna rented 17 prMay. Compare that to erties he rented in all o

That trend will cauket to shift because, soitll be more expensthan it will be to buy said.

The 2011 edition of the FarmFair ran Wednesday, July 20through Saturday, July 23. TheFarm Fair Association held its

own ceremonial opening onWednesday, July 20.

Fair organizers have clung totraditional agricultural displays,contests and events over theyears, but also incorporated newand exciting attractions. Thisyear, for the first time, a tractorpull competition took place.

Those wanting more farm fairinformation can call 784-8369 orvisit www.burlingtoncountyfarm-fair.com/site. The Farm Fair Man-ager is Jim Soden.

The field of 50 tractors that pa-raded onto the new fairgroundslast week actually made a ceremo-nial trip that started around 10a.m. in Springfield, rolled along

back roads to the former home ofthe farm fair in Lumberton, andthen returned to the new site fourhours later.

I extend thanks and congratu-lations to the good people of Lum-berton, who for years, welcomedthe farm fair to their community,

even as it was growing and burst-ing at the seams, Garganio said.Many of us will have nostalgicmemories, childhood memories,of our experiences there.

Garganio noted that Spring-

field, according to historical ac-counts, was actually the originalhome of the farm fair.

So we are, no pun intended,returning to our roots, Garganiosaid.

In the good old days of theAmerican Dream, once youfound a job, you were set for life.You could buy that house withthe white picket fence, raise afamily, and retire in the samehome.

But in an economy where youcant be tied down, Lewis agreedthat you sometimes have to beable to pack up and go on a whimin order to follow the jobs.

That is just one of several rea-sons why so many houses are onthe market right now. InMoorestown, where Lewis officeis located, there are currently288 homes listed. In the height ofthe real estate market, therewere only 85 to 90 at one time.

According to his statistics, theaverage days on the marketstand at about 115, with the low-est-priced homes below$200,000 selling the fastest tobuyers like first-time homeown-ers. Lewis also shared the sameadvice as McKenna, stressing

that homes need to be priced at,or even below, market value. Ap-pearance is also a deal maker orbreaker.

Since there are so manyhomes on the market, peoplepick the creampuffs, he said.Your home has to be in reallygood shape. If a room needs to berepainted, take care of that be-fore you put your house on themarket.

Diane Streichert, CEO of theBurlington/Camden County As-sociation of Realtors, reiteratedLewis thoughts. She alsostressed that now is not the time

to try and sell your home onyour own because you need totake the advice of an experi-enced Realtor.

For example, if a Realtor tellsyou to tear down your outdatedwallpaper, do it. You cant simplythink that you can accept a loweroffer if work needs to be done onyour house. It could take muchlonger to get that offer than youwould think, she said.

You need an expert to helpget you through this, who cangive you really good advice, giveyou good marketing, and get thehouse sold, she said.

Streichert also said its impor-tant not to read into national re-ports about the housing market.Our tri-county area cannot becompared to the nation, she said.Instead, she went over statisticsto compare New Jersey withneighboring Pennsylvania andDelaware and said we are righton par.

As far as our market, wereon par with Pennsylvania andDelaware and thats more impor-tant than whats happening na-tionally, she said. Its aboutwhats happening here.

So far this year, 5,452 homeshave sold in New Jersey com-pared to 7,043 last year. In Penn-sylvania, 15,723 have sold so farthis year, compared to 20,095 thistime last year, she said.

Numbers are down, but thatdrop is also seen in Delaware atabout the same percentage rate,she said.

I think were comparablehere in our market area, Stre-ichert said. Theyre down justlike we are.

On a more local level, thereare currently 4,646 homes on themarket in Burlington County, ac-

cording to Streichertand 4,783 in Camden C

At this time last yeden County there houses listed, sheBurlington County, 4,560. Were kind osame.

Just an excuseIPAB: Death panel or no big deal?

D

epending upon which politician is speaking, the Inde-

pendent Payment Advisory Board is either a death

panel or no big deal. We say its something else: an ex-cuse. An excuse for our duly elected leaders to pass the buck, ig-

nore their responsibilities and

otherwise not do the jobs they

were elected to do.

IPAB is the board that, once

actually established, will over-

see Medicare spending and, in

theory, limit cost increases. Re-

publicans say it will lead to ra-

tioning health care. Democrats say it is needed to save Congress

from itself.

We say this looks like the old call for a constitutional conven-

tion in New Jersey to reform the states obscene tax structure.

Politicians who supported the call for the convention said they

needed it because the public was too stupid to comprehend the

process of tax reform and would vote out any politician who

perhaps raised one tax to lower another.

Same thing with IPAB. If Congress is paying too much atten-

tion to lobbyists and special interests, as the IPAB supporters

say, then, well, the public should be OK with that or the public

should be so outraged that those members of Congress either

change their ways or are voted out of office. Thats kind of the

way government is supposed to work. Its not supposed to have

independent, non-elected panels and groups providing cover for

cowardly politicians.

Whether its Medicare, tax systems, budgets or anything else

related to government, the fixes begin and end with those

elected to office. They have the power to do nothing, make

things better or make things worse.

Then, its up to the voting public to hold them accountable

and to vote people out of office when necessary.

We dont need bodyguards for politicians who are unwilling

to make the tough decisions.

Find some courage
