    They say reading early to yourchildren is one of the most impor-tant things you can do for theirdevelopment. At Indian Mills Ele-mentary School in Shamong, theschool is building on this conceptwith a summer reading program.

    Seeds for Success Summer Pro-gram was started in 2007 and istaught by K-2 basic skills teacherSherry DuBoff and KimberlyShaw-Hartman, an art teacherwho also teaches kindergartenbasic skills.

    Currently, it is a five-week pro-gram that takes place four days aweek, for two-and-a-half hours aday. The program is completelyfunded by the No Child Left Be-hind Act and is offered to the Sha-mong community for free. Par-

    ents only need to provide trans-portation for their children to theschool.

    The Seeds for Success Sum-mer Program plants the seeds ofliteracy for our students so theycan become confident and suc-cessful learners, DuBoff said.

    The districts goal is to offer Sha-mongs youngest students a pathto learning that will manifest it-self into life-long skills and suc-cess. It is an investment in ourmost valuable commodity andasset.

    Children are invited to partici-pate in the program based on howthey do in the spring kinder-garten screening for incomingstudents and outgoing kinder-gartners are invited based onspace availability. The student-teacher ratio is no more than sixto one.

    The literacy instruction part ofthe program focuses on the fol-lowing areas:n Reading instruction using

    big books and individual studentbooks. About 10 sight words areintroduced during the five-weeksession.

    This year, kindergarten stu-dents at Indian Mills ElementarySchool are able to take part in anew program. KinderClub is anew kindergarten enrichmentprogram that extends the half-dayprogram into a full-day of learn-ing.

    Normal kindergarten runsfrom 8:30 a.m. to 11:20 a.m., butwith KinderClub, children, for an

    additional cost, are able to attenduntil 3 p.m. The program costs$380 a month.

    The school has been trying toimplement this program for a fewyears. Last year, kindergartenteacher Theresa Gibbons ob-served a school in Mansfield that

    had a similar program andlearned a lot that could be used inIndian Mills Schools program.

    The program is designed tocomplement the districts currenthalf-day kindergarten programwith enrichment activities, Gib-bons said. The program offersenrolled children a foundation inhands-on, creative and fun learn-ing, as well as social opportuni-ties during inside and outsideplaytime.

    In KinderClub, children are

    taught using weekly teams andlearn lessons specifically madefor them. They get to do specialclasses like gym, music, art orSpanish. They also have lunchand a 30-minute recess.

    The deer problem in South JerseyBy Sean Murphy

    The Shamong Sun

    Is there a deer population prob-lem in South Jersey?

    Apparently, it depends onwhere you live.

    For Voorhees resident Wayne

    Boclair, the situation is out ofcontrol.

    I was able to visually count

    the herd in the Stafford Farmarea last fall, Boclair said, not-ing he saw as many as 80 animals.I'm sure there are other popula-tions in the immediate area.

    The number of deer persquare acre should ideally be twoto three animals, he added. I

    would expect the Stafford Farmpopulation to be 120 animals,minimum, this fall.

    And the problem could begrowing.

    Boclair said a mature doe canproduce two fawns a yeareitheras single births or as twins.

    With adequate numbers ofmature bucks, there is no limit tothe number they can produce, he

    said. There are no longer anypredators in South Jersey to con-trol the population, hence the

    rapid expansion.All of which could lead to some

    unpleasant encounters.Boclair said the most immedi-

    ate danger is collision with auto-mobiles at dusk or after nightfall.Voorhees Township ManagerLarry Spellman said there are

    about 15 collisions between carsand deer in the township per year.

    The Burlington County HealthDepartment will start its seasonalflu campaign with 6 clinics thatwill offer the Fluzone High-Dosevaccine for individuals 65 andolder. Clinics will be held Sept. 22and 29 and Oct. 6 from 10 a.m. to 6p.m. at both the Burlington Cen-ter and Moorestown malls.

    These first clinics will be Flu-zone High-Dose only and are freefor those with Medicare Part B astheir primary insurance. Otherinsurances will be accepted, butresidents should check with theirinsurance provider to ensure thatthe vaccination is covered bytheir insurance.

    For those without MedicarePart B or whose insurance doesnot cover Fluzone High-Dose, thecost will be $45.

    A flu shot is the easiest way toprotect you and your loved onesfrom the risk and misery of theflu, Freeholder Mary Ann

    OBrien said. It only takes a fewminutes to guard against gettinga serious illness.

    New this year, the Health De-partment will allow residents toschedule their flu shot by visitingthe Health Department website,www.co.burlington.nj.us/health.

    People can schedule their ap-

    pointments online starting theweek of Sept. 19 and will be ableto schedule an appointment be-ginning with the drive-thru fluclinic on Oct. 15.

    Residents who have scheduledtheir appointment online andbring the printed and completedconsent form will be fast-trackedthrough the clinic.

    Walk-ins will still be welcome,but may have to wait in line.

    Traditional or standard doseseasonal flu vaccines and pneu-monia vaccines will be offered atall of the other clinics.

    The county Health Department

    accepts Medicare Part B to coverthe cost for seasonal flu and pneu-monia vaccines.

    A donation of $15 for seasonalflu vaccines and $25 for pneumois recommended by those not cov-ered by Medicare if residents canafford it.

    People who have Medicare cov-

    erage and belong to a managedcare plan or HMO should go totheir regular health careproviders to receive immuniza-tions.

    We recommend that all indi-viduals receive a flu vaccine re-gardless of whether you had onelast year, Robert Gogats, healthofficer for Burlington County,said.

    The CDC calls a yearly flu vac-cine the first and most importantstep in protecting against this se-rious disease.

    Its that time of year already

    As the result of HurricaneIrene, the New Jersey Depart-ment of Agriculture worked withcounty governments to make fa-cilities available to those largelivestock animal owners whoneeded to evacuate their farms orfound themselves without poweror water or access to their farms.

    While very few farm ownersneeded the use of these sheltersin this most recent storm, the de-partment is seeking to ensurethere are enough facilities avail-

    able that are able to accommodatelarge animals in the event of fu-ture emergencies. The depart-ment is asking anyone with a fa-cility that could serve as a largeanimal shelter to fill out a form atwww.nj.gov/agriculture/divisions/ah/pdf/largeanimalfacilitysurvey.doc. When completing the form, in-clude two contact numbers thatwould be accessible 24/7 for eachfacility.

    When a facility is made avail-able during evacuations, it is the

    responsibility of the animalowner to care for that animal, in-cluding bringing feed, hay, etc.

    Please return forms no laterthan Nov. 1 to: New Jersey De-partment of Agriculture, Attn:Lynn Mathews, P.O. Box 330,Trenton, NJ 08625; or [email protected] compiled, a list of facilitieswill be made available to countyoffices of emergency manage-ment so they can access those re-sources in time of need.

    urricane Irene put a hurting

    on Atlantic City casino rev-

    enues last month. That is un-

    fortunate, but not unexpected. Losing

    three days of revenue would hurt any

    business.

    But, for once, the news isnt all bad

    when it comes to gambling on the

    Shore. After Irene blew away, John

    Palmieri blew into town. Hes the guy

    Gov. Christie has appointed to fix what

    ails the AC casinos. Good luck, Mr.

    Palmieri.

    Initially, it appears Palmieri has the

    chops to get something done. In reality,

    theres really not a lot he can do to

    hurt the situation. The AC casinos

    have been battered by a lot more than

    wind and rain in recent years. Lack of

    a creative, unified marketing plan,

    competition from surrounding states

    and a host of other issues have left the

    AC market bruised.

    Palmieri reportedly brings a history

    of development success in other cities.

    He no doubt will be hard-pressed to

    duplicate that success in AC unless

    all of the players finally have received

    the message that its time to work to-

    gether.

    Here at Elauwit Media, Associate

    Editor Melissa DiPento is working on

    a comprehensive look at AC casinos,

    how they got into the mess theyre in,

    and how they might be able to get out

    of it. To reach her with comments and

    ideas, send an e-mail to

    [email protected] .

    Atlantic City casinos have fallen be-

    hind and face increased competition

    in the future. But they also have a lot

    of potential.

    Heres hoping Palmieri can work a

    little magic and turn Atlantic City into

    a gaming destination that draws visi-

    tors from around the globe. It wont be

    easy, though.

    in our opinion

    Embezzlement; Carl Lewis; casinos; insuranceFender-bender reveals

    missing $300,000If you must steal, dont drive.An accident with a rental car led to a

    charge of embezzling $300,000 from an en-gineering company in Camden, county of-ficials said.

    John DiBernardi, 57, has been arrestedand charged with writing checks to him-self from the accounts of S.T. Hudson En-gineers, where he worked as comptroller.

    Bellmawr Police and the Camden Coun-ty prosecutor said DiBernardi wrote thesechecks from 2007 to July 2011 and depositedthe money into his own personal accounts.

    He then deleted records of the checksfrom the companys computer system, theprosecutors office said.

    Hudson Engineers noticed the theft inJuly only after they found out a rental carthat was in an accident had been paid forwith a corporate credit card.

    Since the business did not know aboutthe rental, the company conducted an in-

    ternal audit that revealed the missingmoney.

    Atlantic City casinosprimed for union troubles

    Get ready for a tough union fight at At-lantic Citys casinos. Management andlabor are making the kind of noises thatcould mean the two sides are digging in.

    Union president Bob McDevitt said thecasinos want a sharecropper economy,where employees would pay to be allowedto work, according to the Associated Press.In the meantime, Dennis Gomes, co-ownerof Resorts Casino Hotel, said the union is

    on a crazy path of self-destruction.As labor contracts with nine of the 11

    casinos expired last Thursday, manage-ment officials want pay cuts for 14,000 em-

    ployees, including housekeepers, food andbeverage servers and others.

    Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union hasalready picketed Resorts after workerstook steep pay cuts when the casino wassold in December.

    Some people think sick peoplewithout insurance should dieSo Wolf Blitzer asks Ron Paul about

    health care and insurance a reasonablequestion during a presidential debate andthe audience starts hooting about lettingsick people die.

    Its going to be a long election year.

    This, unfortunately, is what weve sunkto. A rational topic of how to balancehealth care, rising medical costs and re-sponsibility is overshadowed by a bunch ofhollering about whether someone withoutinsurance should be left to die.

    Is anyone surprised? The country facesserious questions about not only healthcare, but also the economy, Social Security,the budget, etc. (actually, theyre all kind ofrelated). These matters require thoughtful,mature discussion and debate. They re-quire compromise. They require puttingaside the never-ending drive to get electedand then re-elected to solve problems.

    Yet, presidential debates now resemblereally bad reality shows.

    Even Rick Perry was a bit taken abackby the audiences response. Every politi-cian should be. Every politician should beready to tell those who would cheer anoth-er persons death to take their vote else-where.

    America needs leaders. It needs peoplewho will tell the extremists to take a hike.It needs people who refuse to pander to

    nonsensical blather to gain a few votes.If no such person shows up on the scene,

    its doubtful any of the true problems thenation faces will be resolved anytime soon.

    In addition, as the numbersincrease, the deer will look for al-ternate sources of food in theform of the ornamental plantings

    of residents as well as shrub-bery, Boclair said. This is al-ready happening.

    But the deer population seemsto be limited to certain areas ofthe state, officials said.

    Where hunters have unre-stricted access to properties, deerpopulations are not in excess,deer project leader for the N.J. Di-vision of Fish & Wildlife CaroleA. Stanko said. Problematicareas include deer refugia, suchas suburban neighborhoodswhere hunting isnt desirable,corporate parks and other largelandholdings where hunting isntallowed, and any other areaslarge and small that may harbor

    deer where hunters are not al-lowed.According to Stanko, New Jer-

    sey already has some of the mostliberal deer hunting regulationsin the country.

    The state is broken down into60 deer management zones,which are placed into one ofseven regulation sets. Regulationsets all have different seasonlengths and bag limits, and zonesare placed into one of them, ac-cording to deer densities, humandensities, land use and habitatquality.

    Even our most restrictive reg-ulation set has 100 days of deerhunting, Stanko said. The mostliberal one has five and a halfmonths of deer hunting everyday except Christmas from thesecond Saturday in September tothe third Saturday in February.

    Two-thirds of the state hasunlimited antlerless bag limits,meaning a hunter can virtuallytake as many deer as he wantsto, she added. The Division ofFish & Wildlife provides the tools(hunting dates and bag limits); itis up to property owners to allowhunters access to do the rest.

    An exploding deer populationisnt just potentially hazardous tohumans, but it also can impactthe deer themselves, Boclair said.

    As the numbers of deer ap-proach 200 in the Stafford Farm

    area (estimate of 2013), theamount of vegetation to supporttheir numbers will dramatically

    decrease, and starvation maybegin, he explained. The deermay then die in places other thanthe forestnamely, on the lawnsand driveways of residents.

    So what can be done in theareas of the state where huntingisnt an option?

    The Division of Fish & Wildlife

    has had a Community Based DeerManagement Program (CBDMP)in effect since 1995 for those com-munities experiencing problemswith deer where hunting is im-practical or undesirable.

    According to Stanko, severalcommunities per year take ad-vantage of these permits.

    In 2009, the Fish & Game Coun-cil adopted DMAP (Deer Manage-ment Assistance Program) forthose property owners experienc-ing localized problems that dontwarrant a regulation change toan entire zone. To date, no one hasapplied for a DMAP permit.

    This is exactly what happenedin Valley Forge National Park,

    Boclair said. The acreage of thepark will support roughly 200 ani-mals. The herd numbered 1,150animals last October. There wasvery little vegetation of any kindremaining in the park.

    Boclair said that between No-vember 2010 and March 2011, 600animals in the national park wereremoved by professionals. Themeat was processed and distrib-uted to the poor in Philadelphiathrough shelters, soup kitchens,and the like.

    Boclair said there are severalmethods to solve the problem lo-cally:n Trap and transferThis in-

    volves darting the does with ananesthetic to immobilize them.The cost is quite high and wouldbe prohibitive for the numbers inVoorhees;n Euthanasia This would

    involve trapping the deer andkilling them with a bolt gun. Verycontroversial and expensive withquestionable results;n ContraceptionAgain, this

    involves darting the does with ananesthetic to immobilize them.They would then be tagged withan ear tag and injected with thecontraceptive. Some contracep-tives require two inoculations

    and most have been shown to beonly mildly effective at best. Theexpense would approach $1,000per animal with questionable re-sults. In some areas which usedcontraceptives, 33 percent of thetreated does became pregnant;n Deer herd management

    This involves hiring sharpshoot-

    ers with silencers mounted on ri-fles as has been done in ValleyForge Park.

    Boclair said townships receiv-ing a CBDMP may opt to hire acompany to cull deer outside ofthe traditional deer season dates,without bag limit restrictions.Millburn, Bernards, Bridgewater,Hanover, Princeton, Watchung,

    Mountain Lakes and Summithired a private company to shootdeer on properties that weredeemed too small to allow for tra-

    ditional sport hunting.Spellman said hunting is

    Voorhees way of controlling thedeer population. He also saidsome have suggested fencing buthe believes they keep deer in aswell as out.

    Spellman also said the deerissue is not only in the townshipand the state, but in the entireNortheast.

    A check of a few other SouthJersey towns revealed that deerpopulation isnt a problem, orthat plans already are in place todeal with the animals.

    Shamong Township Adminis-trator Susan Onorato said hertownship does not have a deer

    problem because of the copiousopen space there. An official fromTabernacle also said there is nomajor deer problem there.

    The Evesham clerk said thestate and the county deal with itsdeer population.

    I am unaware of any deerproblem that the township hasbeen asked to look into, MedfordTownship Manager ChristopherSchultz said. Given the locationof the community, it is inevitablethat we will have deer.

    But in Cherry Hill, MayorBernie Platt said the townshiphas multiple deer herds that pop-ulate the township in both theCamden County Park System andthroughout preserved open spacealong Springdale Road.

    Those herds can be a chal-lenge to residents and have beenroaming our community for

    years, Platt said. At this point intime, the deer population hasbeen decreasing due to an overalllack of food options.

    Historically, deer have usedSpringdale Farms as a primarysource of food, which was deniedto them in 2005 when the farmerected deer fence on both sides ofSpringdale Road. Since that time,the numbers have decreased butthe herds still remain in thewooded areas and live among res-idents today.

    Additionally, Cherry Hill al-lows construction of fences up tosix feet in height on the rear andside of properties. Homeownersmay find these helpful in keeping

    deer away from their back yardsand landscaping.So what should you do if you

    think your community has aproblem with deer?

    Stanko said it is not necessaryfor residents to report deer.

    We know deer are present inall 21 counties of New Jersey,she said.

    If there are deer problems, weencourage property owners toopen their property to hunters,and to work cooperatively withtheir neighbors in this effort,Stanko continued.

    If this is not possible, theyshould advise their township ofthe problem so that the township

    may consider openinproperties such as paring or applying for a Cmit.
