    The first day of school canmake even veteran students abit nervous. And, when youreheaded for your first day at a newschool, in a new grade, the anxi-ety can be even more intense.

    So, for those children about toenter kindergarten, middleschool, high school and even col-lege, being prepared and estab-

    lishing a line of communicationare critical.

    According to some experts, thebest way to help children andyoung adults transition from oneschool to another is to keep linesof communication open with par-ents.

    Anne Blair, a clinical socialworker from Voorhees, saidpreparation is key to any success-ful transition.

    The parents must ensure that

    they allow their child enoughtime to fully understand the tran-sition that will take place, andhow that transition may look forthem, Blair said. This providesthe child an opportunity to askquestions, tour their new school,meet their new teachers, and be-

    come familiar with the physicalsurroundings they will be re-quired to function in.

    She also said staying in touchis critical to address any transi-tion issues a student is having.

    Establishing a line of commu-nication with the appropriateschool personnel and parents isessential in assisting a strugglingstudent, Blair said. This en-ables the therapist to approachthe students issues with a team

    in place at the school that can pro-vide necessary support for thenew student while at school.

    Cherry Hill psychologist Dr.Marla Deibler agreed thatparental involvement is critical toa successful transition.

    Budget cuts have become com-monplace, given the countryseconomic situation. Governmentat all levels has had to try to findways to continue to operate whilecutting spending, and, because ofthat, has been a source of criti-cism.

    Education is no exception. AtLenape Regional High School Dis-trict, school officials brain-stormed and created a differentapproach to show people what theeducation field and educators doon a daily basis. They createdWe Teach, a reality show.

    Public education has latelybeen a source of criticism,Emily Capella, superintendent ofLenape Regional High School Dis-trict, said. Last year, a reporterwas interviewing me about re-ductions in staff and how wewere going to make do with thecuts. After talking to them, the re-porter said to me, Well teachersdont do much anyway. I was very

    angry with this reporter, toldthem something and hung upwith them.

    After some reflection abouthow to change the political/eco-nomic perception that public edu-cation isnt working and to showthe complexities of teaching,

    Capella formed a cobrainstorm some idea

    Inspired by a show on HBO,Shamong Township resident RobRossi recently finished the LakePlacid Iron Man Triathlon.

    The triathlon was held on July24, and contestants had to do 2.4

    miles of swimming, 112 miles ofbiking and 26.2 miles in amarathon.

    Contestants had to completethe triathlon in 17 hours. Rossifinished in 16 hours and 28 min-utes.

    I saw Real Sports with BryantGumbel on HBO about New YorkCity firefighter Matt Long, Rossisaid. He was hit by a car whileriding his bike during the public

    transportation strike. He was im-paled. They didnt think he wouldlive and if he did, they didntthink he would ever walk again.He ended up competing in atriathlon. It was inspiring. Ithought if he could do it, I can doit.

    Rossi began training a year

    and a half prior to the competi-tion.

    Before the competition, I ranwith my friends, and I ran amarathon in Philadelphia fouryears ago, Rossi said. For this, Ipurchased a bike, a gym member-ship and started riding my bike towork in Voorhees four days aweek.

    With all the training, Rossi did-nt change his diet, but it did

    grow.I had no changes

    but I ate more, Rosburned lots of caloriworkouts. I did watchlaid off the beer.

    The triathlon day a.m., and contestantsish by midnight. Ros

    doing the triathlon, think he would do again.

    Im looking forwhalf Iron Man in thRossi said. I may noone again because itcommitment, but Illnever. It was a speciacause I did it with mylaw. The whole familyus.

    There are a limited number ofvouchers and there is no guaran-tee that enough vouchers will beavailable for all applicants.

    Seniors eligible for vouchers

    Due to the delay in budgetprocess this year, the 2011-12 taxbills will be mailed out late. Oncea certified tax rate has been estab-lished by the Burlington CountyTax Board, tax bills will be print-ed and mailed out.

    NJ laws provide a 25-day graceperiod from the date the bills aremailed to you; this will be notedon your tax bill.

    If you have any further ques-tions, you can contact the TaxCollector at 268-2377 ext. 307.

    humble and they work in isola-tion. They go in the classroom,close the door and work magic.No one sees what goes on, how the

    magic happens.We Teach will air six, one-

    hour episodes starting Sept. 6.Each episode will feature fourteachers. Capella said they will beadding more episodes later in theyear.

    The technicians would ride inthe cars with the teachers in themorning on their way to work,Capella said. They had discus-sions with the teachers aboutwhat they were thinking and howthey thought the day was going togo.

    The show was filmed byLenape District Television andwas sponsored by John A. Costel-lo, a certified financial planner, at

    Metlife Resources.We have people come to theschool in the beginning of theyear to provide tax (information)to our employees, Capella said.

    They set up tables to talk to em-ployees about where to put theirinvestments. John approachedme after I gave a presentationabout the show and said he want-ed to be involved. He became asponsor.

    As a lifelong educator, Capellafelt it was necessary to help open

    minds about public education.She was distressed about theclosed mindset that public educa-tion was facing. She wanted peo-ple to remember why they movedto these areas and wanted theirchildren to attend these schools.

    We have outstanding resultsyear after year, Capella said. Inorder for a school to be successful,you need three things. Kids needto be ready to learn, parents needto support their kids in learning,and teachers need to be commit-ted.

    While there will be much dis-cussion that will continue aboutpublic education, Capella ishappy she did her part to make

    the conversation positive.I couldnt just sit back whileour profession was demeanedwithout saying, Step back,Capella said. I had to say to peo-

    ple, Why are you here and howdid you get here? Most people arewhere theyre at because of edu-cators, because of people who arecommitted. In a David McCol-lough book about Thomas Jeffer-son, he said that Jefferson saidthat the biggest problem in socie-ty is that education isnt respect-

    ed, that society only moves for-ward if education is invested in.Education will contribute vastlyto the future economic health ofthis country.

    The series is set to premiereTuesday, Sept. 6 at 8 p.m. on Com-cast 19 and Verizon FiOS 21, aswell as online atwww.lrhsd.org/LDTV.

    The Burlington County HealthDepartment has reported that araccoon found in the vicinity of

    Falls Court in Medford has testedpositive for rabies.

    The department has advisedresidents to keep a safe distancefrom stray or wild animals and tocall their municipality for animalcontrol if a stray or wild animalis discovered. Residents shouldnot feed or try to capture anywildlife or stray animals.

    Homeowners who allow theirpets to roam outside unattendedshould check the status of theirpets last rabies shot. If it hasbeen longer than one year, abooster shot should be given.

    Rabies is transmitted from in-fected mammals to humans usu-ally through a bite, but scratches

    and saliva contact with brokenskin or mucous membranes arealso possible routes, said CountyHealth Educator Holly Cucuzzel-la.

    Any person who had directcontact with the raccoon or otherwild or stray animals in the areaswhere these raccoons were foundmay have been exposed to rabies

    and should contact their doctor assoon as possible, she added.

    Rabies is a viral disease that at-

    tacks the nervous system and isfatal in humans without prompttreatment.

    The disease is spread when arabid animals saliva contacts an-other animal or human throughwounds in the skin, typically abite.

    If bitten, treatment shouldbegin as soon as possible. Cur-rent vaccinations are relativelypainless and given as close to theinjured area as possible.

    If bitten, scratched or licked bya wild animal:n Immediately wash bite

    wounds with plenty of soap andwater.n Get prompt medical atten-

    tion.n Get a description of the ani-mal.n Report the bite to your local

    health department.For more information on ra-

    bies, visit the county website atlbws01/upload/Health/Images/ra-bies2003.PDF.

    6 THE SHAMONG SUN AUGUST 10-16, 2011

    C

    amden Countys public rela-

    tions machine cranked up

    again recently to refute pub-

    lished reports that the countywide po-

    lice force plan was anything but right

    on course.

    Apparently, the plan is chugging

    along on its multi-tracked path.

    Wonder if that path included area

    police chiefs walking away from the

    table? Or that at least some mayors

    feel left out of the loop?

    We are all for regionalization.

    The problem is that Camden County

    picked the wrong place to start. You

    dont go messing with police and fire

    protection at least until you prove to

    the public that you can get this region-

    alization thing right.

    No, you start with something easier

    and less critical. Like, say, trash.

    Already there are communities com-

    bining efforts to save money on trash

    pickup. Great idea because, first, it can

    save money, and, second, if theres a

    delay in pickup for a day or two, or it

    takes a little while to work out the

    kinks in the system, its really no big

    deal.

    People will trade a few, little incon-

    veniences if it means saving big dol-

    lars.

    The county may be 100 percent on

    target with this regional police force

    idea. It might save oodles of taxpayer

    dollars, improve service, etc., etc.

    But how many towns, which already

    have their own local police force, are

    going to take that chance right now?

    Heck, not every town is a part of the

    county library system. Now you want

    to push a police merger? And you

    think support is going to be wide-

    spread? Seriously?

    Try trash. Roads. Purchasing paper

    clips. Something else. If it works,

    make a big deal out of it, and then

    build upon that success to move on to

    more important issues.

    In the meantime, county leaders

    shouldnt be surprised if public sup-

    port for such a sweeping change to

    such a critical government service

    never materializes.

    in our opinion

    Dont mess around with 9-1-1Regionalization is great, but lets first try something not so critical to life

    Rush to merge?

    Camden County picked the wrongservice to take the lead in its push toconsolidate.

    Can Christie use GPS, bull to get doughnuts?Sometimes, the GPS

    can make you say WTFThe day had been a long-time coming; I

    knew that. There were signs all along theway that I just chose to ignore: the ridicu-lous mispronunciations, roundaboutroutes, plain-old-wrong routes or my per-sonal favorite making up names forbridges like the West Whitman Brotherand the Del. Mem. Branch.

    It never was a secret that my GPS had is-sues, but this epiphany came when I real-ized there was a much bigger problem thatneeded to be addressed. Me.

    Why on earth, after this long, was I stillrelying so heavily on a piece of technologythat couldnt even keep up with the mostlackadaisical road construction crews?And perhaps more importantly, why didntI have a map in my glove box?

    This happened on a Saturday a couple ofmonths back when I had five events tocover in areas with which I was not yet fa-miliar. It was, of course, on this day that

    my GPS decided to have a meltdown andcompletely stop working. The first thing Idid was grab my so-called smartphone touse MapQuest. But, as my luck would haveit, the Web site wouldnt work.

    Then, I opened my glove box, but it wasto no avail. Long story short, that day was alot longer than it should have been.

    Like I said, it was my own fault for ig-noring the clues, including several timesmy GPS told me to go east on a highway in-stead of west. But the worst part about thatis Im the one who actually drove eastwhen I knew very well I was supposed to gowest. I blindly followed my GPS com-mands.

    Come down to S.J., Governor,and train with The Yak

    Turnabout is fair play. Gov. Christiesslashing of state aid to school districts and

    municipalities took a lot of peoples breathaway. And now, well, you know the storywith the governor asthma scare last week.

    All kidding aside, and, once everyoneknew Christie would be OK there was a lotof kidding, the governor has to shape up.He readily acknowledges and even jokesabout his weight. But, obesity and TheYak will go on the record now as saying thegovernor is obese is no laughing matter.

    Christie very well could be president ifhe wanted to be. But this has nothing to dowith politics. It has to do with health andfamily.

    Heres what the Centers for Disease Con-trol says about being overweight. To sum-marize: It aint healthy.

    But the primary reasons Christie shouldget healthy are named Andrew, Sarah,Patrick and Bridget. Those are Christieskids. And, when you become a dad, you area dad first and foremost.

    person having difficulty withtransitions include: reticence todiscuss school or any events fromthe day, extreme or uncharacter-

    istic disorganization, becomingwithdrawn, tears when dis-cussing school, mystery illnesses,requesting not to attend school,and not discussing friends.

    Even students who technicallymight be adults can strugglewhen moving from high school tocollege.

    Mary Beth Daisey, dean of stu-dents and associate chancellor forstudent affairs, Rutgers Universi-ty Camden, said some new col-lege students have to think forthemselves for the first time.

    Students transitioning intocollege often have difficulty mak-ing important decisions for them-selves without the input of their

    parents, can have difficulty in dis-cussing and resolving problemsas they have often relied on oth-ers to assist them with this, andhave difficulty in managing thelarge amount of free time thatthey seem to have because collegerequires a lot more studying timethat is not scheduled, Daiseysaid.

    Another challenge is commu-nication.

    It is important for both childand parent to find a way to keepin regular contact but to also beable to adjust the frequency or themode of communication so thatmore independence develops butsupport is there when needed,she said.

    So how do you address stu-dents with problems transition-ing?

    For college students, we helpto prepare them by sending theminformation in advance of theircoming to school and then provid-ing in-person orientation ses-sions over the summer beforecoming, she said. We alsomatch new students up with up-perclassmen who help explain theprocesses and procedures in col-lege and check in with them regu-larly to ensure that the transitionis going well.

    We help them meet other stu-dents, learn about resources andencourage them to get involved

    and connected to school, Daiseyadded.
