Another day, another plan forBancroft, and another neighbor-hood with a new set of concerns.

The Haddonfield Public SchoolDistrict presented its $32 millionsite concept plan for the Bancroftcampus to a packed meetingroom of residents last week.

Board of Education PresidentSteve Weinstein, SuperintendentRichard Perry and Architect BobGarrison presented a plan thatwould see the installation of sev-eral athletic fields and a sharedhigh school and borough libraryat the 20-acre campus.

This is more expensive thanany other option presented to theborough, Weinstein said early inhis presentation. We ask thatyou consider the value for yourdollar.

Among the features for theproperty would be the construc-tion of three new athletic fields one of them an artificial-turf field and a multi-purpose facili-ty that could be connected to thehigh school and serve as a new li-brary for the borough.

District figures show that a $30million bond over 20 years at 4-percent interest would impactthe average homeowners tax bill

in the borough by about $477 ayear. If the district were to onlyborrow $15 million, it would im-pact the average homeowner atabout $238 a year.

Commissioner Jeff Kaskonoted that the districts fiscal im-pact estimates were differentthan values presented to the bor-ough at an earlier meeting by EdMcManimon, Haddonfields rede-velopment counsel. McManimonsaid that a project cost of $14.25million would result in a munici-pal tax increase of about $271 forthe average homeowner. Com-missioner Ed Borden alsobrought up the fiscal discrepan-cies and said they would have tobe addressed by the district.

To help pay for the cost of theproject, Weinstein said the dis-trict could sell the Radnor Fieldproperty and possibly develophomes on the land, which ran-kled several residents near theathletic complex.

If housing is to be built onRadnor Field, it would be a horri-ble location for a development,said John Stokes, a professionalplanner and resident near thefield. There are 31 homes cur-rently backed up to the field. Itwould significant increase the

Forget about slasher moviesthis Halloween, why not checkout something thats really scaryand is right in your backyard?Bill Meehan, author of HauntedHaddonfield will be offeringwalking tours of one of the mosthistoric cities in all of New Jer-sey.

With its roots firmly estab-lished prior to the RevolutionaryWar and several buildings notedon the states historic registry, itsno wonder there have been somany surviving legends in theborough.

Meehan will be escorting

groups on Friday, Oct. 28 and Sat-urday, Oct. 29 beginning at 7 p.m.at the steps of the Historical Soci-ety of Haddonfield, 343 KingsHighway East. The author willshare legends and stories re-searched for his book during theHalloween tour.

All proceeds from ticket salesfor the tour will be donated to theHaddonfield Public Library andthe historic society, Meehan said,much like the profits from hisbook are donated directly to thehistoric society as well.

This is the 10th year the localhistorian has been giving thewalking tours and the 11th sincehis book was published.

mpact on the neighborhood.One of the most exciting as-

pects of the proposal, Weinsteinsaid, is the multi-use facility thatwould house a new borough li-

brary. The building would be con-nected to the high school andserve as a joint school and munic-pal library, Weinstein said. The

facility would also serve as atechnology center, which wouldallow the district to expand itspartnership with Drexel Univer-sity and possibly bring in RowanUniversity for a similar partner-ship. It would be located on thewestern side of the property, nextto the high school.

Haddonfield Public Libraryboard members have shown in-terest in such a project, he said,but have not yet fully signed off on the deal yet.

The proposal would include

both passive and active-openspace, with the construction of anew artificial turf field, a base-ball field, softball field and twoathletic practice fields. It wouldalso include the conversion of the HMHS football field to a turf field as well.

The proposal includes 438parking spaces. It would decreasethe parking impact on nearbyKings Highway when there aregames or events at the high

school, Weinstein said, an addedbonus.

A one-mile walking trail wouldbe constructed at the north sideof the site.

Lullworth Hall, the CarriageHouse, and the existing greenhouse would be preserved on thesite. The district said the boroughcould possibly lease out these

structures or sell them at theirdiscretion.The plan would go a long way

in improving the long-term vi-sion for the district and help Had-donfield stand out even more if regionalization of school dis-tricts ever becomes a reality,Perry.

A number of school-districtteachers spoke up at the meetingand questioned the districts deci-sion to put forward a concept thatwould cost $32 million when ithas been said on a number of oc-casions that it cant afford salaryraises for district employees. Em-ployees in the district have beenworking without contracts for

more than a year.Its very demoralizing that afew days ago the BOE said theydont have any additional fundsfor teachers salaries in the dis-trict, said John Duffy, a teacherat Haddonfield Memorial HighSchool.

Several also asked why somuch funding would be spent forimproving the athletic complexes

for the district when so manyschool buildings are in disrepair.

However, neighbors of RadnorField questioned the decision to

simply move the athletic fieldsfrom the Radnor complex to thehigh school. Why sell the fieldust to spend $32 million to con-

struct new fields, several resi-dents wondered.

Several residents also ex-pressed concerns over where theaffordable houses would be con-structed if homes were con-structed on Radnor Field. TheCouncil on Affordable Housingwould require the borough tobuild more COAH units if it wereredeveloped.

Its an interesting plan for thearea. We should listen to everysingle idea, its only appropriatefor us to look at each possibilityof Bancroft, Mayor Tish Colom-bi said.

t added something to the sea-son, he said.

Taking their love of the seasonand Haddonfield, Meehan and his

wife started to host a formal Hal-oween party each Halloweennight, inviting their friends andfamily to their home to celebratethe holiday.

In 2000, after taking over theentertainment duties from hiswife, Meehan unveiled his firstHaunted Haddonfield tour for hisparty guests, as the costumedghouls and goblins piled into arented school bus and drovethrough the streets of Haddon-

field, listening to Meehan recitevarious legends and hauntingsthat he had researched at the li-brary and historic society.

One of our guests, a formercommissioner in Haddonfield atthat time, asked me what I wasgoing to do with all of the materi-al I used for the tour. He said, this

is too good, you cant put it in thedrawer and forget about it, youought to do this as an annualevent for the benefit for the li-brary and historical society,Meehan said. It was a great idea,so in 2001 we had our first year. Istarted to collect more and morestories, but now people started toapproach me in the Acme andother places to tell me their own

letters to the editor

The Nov. 8 elections are almostupon us. That means its time

to take a final look at the candi-dates and issues on the ballot.

Its a busy year for elections with allof the seats in the Legislature up forgrabs and a number of hotly contestedlocal races.

Its also a time when the national po-litical scene is beginning to stir. Re-publican presidential hopefuls havebeen holding a series of debates as aclear front-runner has yet to emerge.Believe it or not, the first primariesand caucuses are only a few months

away.But, when it comes down to impact-

ing your daily life, your local officials

have a lot more influence than those inWashington, D.C., which is why it isimportant to get informed and thenshow up on Election Day to cast yourvote.

At The Sun, we want to remind youthat this is the last week that election-related letters will appear in print.From this point forward, they will bepublished online, so please visit your

local Sun website to read them.We are doing this to allow the candi-

dates and their supporters an opportu-nity to respond to any last-minute is-

sues that might arise. Next weeks edi-tion is the last before the election,which would not allow anyone achance to respond in the same formatto anything that appeared in print. Wewill continue to publish remindersthat individuals interested in submit-ting and reading letters to the editorregarding the election should visittheir local website.

In the meantime, dont let ElectionDay sneak up on you and find you un-prepared. There are ample ways to

find out all you need to know about theissues at hand. Get informed and thenvote.

The November elections are less thantwo weeks away. Get informed andthen make sure to vote.

We could do withoutcounty government

A recent news story in The HaddonfieldSun noted the grant of $25,000 from theCamden County Open Space fund for soc-cer field improvements here in the bor-ough.

This is, I believe, the second such grantreceived this year. But are the residents of Haddonfield getting their moneys worthfrom the countys open space tax? For 2011,Haddonfield taxpayers will cough up ap-proximately $456,000 to the county foropen-space purposes. The tax was suspend-ed for 2010, but 2009 saw borough taxpayersante up $452,000. In prior years, the tax av-eraged roughly $400,000 per year. (My fig-ures are the result of a call to the boroughstax office). Thus, over 10 years, boroughtaxpayers have paid roughly $4 million incounty open-space taxes and have receivedsomething in the neighborhood of $100,000or thereabouts back in grants. And Free-holder Capelli pounds his chest as thoughhe is doing us taxpayers a favor! (This isthe same fool who wants to take away ourocal police force and replace it with a

countywide system, an utterly insanedea).

All this is on top of the boroughs ownopen space tax, which raises about $100,000

per year. I really dont have a problem withthat levy because there is more transparen-cy at the local level.

You all know where I am going with this:once and for all, it is time to abolish countygovernment in New Jersey. County govern-ment is an anachronism, a relic of the 18thand 19th centuries, a costly, corrupt andunnecessary layer of government in ourpresent age.

The four most densely populated statesin the nation are New Jersey, Rhode Island,Massachusetts and Connecticut. Numberstwo through four on that list have abol-ished county government in whole or inpart.

County governments functions could bebumped up to the state or down to the mu-nicipal level at a significant savings to thetaxpayers. If anyone needed any furtherproof of that, just look at the countysopen-space boondoggle.

No straight answers fromWeinstein at meeting

Depending on who you are inclined tolisten to, the board of educations Bancroftdevelopment proposal could cost anywherefrom $32 million to over $50 million. The

boards president, Stephen Weinstein, didhis lawyerly best not to give a straight an-swer to a single question among dozensposed to him in a full-house at HaddonfieldBorough Hall on Wednesday evening.

Economic circumstances would general-ly dictate a return to the drawing board.Other critical concerns vie equally withcost open space, neighborhood preserva-tion, affordable housing (affordable towhom?) and the BOEs poor property man-agement track record. All compete withWeinsteins grandiose and wildly expen-sive vision of the Haddonfield school dis-tricts future.

stories about the town.Now, Meehan tours around each Hal-

oween season with groups of up to 150 vis-

itors to share the spooky history of severallocations and buildings in town. One of hisfavorite stories, Meehan said, is for thebrick house on 227 Kings Highway East.The three homes at 227, 229, and 231 onKings Highway, which still stand on thestreet today, were built by Judge Clementin the 1830s for his three daughters, Mee-han said.

One of the daughters, who owned 227Kings Highway East, married into theprominent Hopkins family in the borough.Her husband, Griffith Morgan Hopkins,was the chief operator of the HopkinsMill. He would entertain local children atthe mill by performing tricks above the

milling wheel, jumping andswinging from rafters for theiramusement. However, one day,

Meehan said Hopkins lost his bal-ance and fell into the mill and wascrushed by the milling wheel,eaving his wife to raise five chil-

dren at the house by herself.The last surviving child lived

at the house in 1917, Meehan said,and in the 1920s the home wassold to another family. The familydidnt last long, as the owners

claimed the home was cursed,and living there made them feelmiserable and anxious.

Even to this day, people work-ing there have been saying formany years that there is a coldspot in what was the dining roomof that house. In the hottest dayits freezing cold, Meehan said.

When people are working thereat night they claim they can hearthe voices of a woman and smallchildren when there is nobody inthe building.

Sound interesting? Thats onlyone of many stories hell be shar-ing this Friday and Saturday. Itsnot necessary to buy tickets forthe tour in advance, but visitors

can purchase tickets at the Had-donfield Public Library, the His-toric Society and the HaddonfieldInformation Center.

green. Nancy Ashton, our speak-er this month, is going to discussher work with the Green Team.

Rhinoceros Toy Store, 107Kings Highway East, invites oneand all to a Halloween fund raiserat its Haddonfield store on Sun-day, Oct. 30, and Monday Oct. 31.Half the proceeds from all in-store activities will be donated toSusan G. Komen For the CureBreast Cancer Research Founda-tion.

Rhinoceros celebrated its rib-bon cutting with Mayor TishColombi on Saturday, introducinga unique new place for people torelax and have fun in Haddon-field.

In the gamery, we have creat-ed a spot where families, couples,friends can come, sit at our tables,bring your favorite beverage, andplay a game (that well teach youto play) together, co-ownerBernadette Hennessy May ex-plained.

Rhinoceros Gamery also offersa menu of in-store activities forchildren and adults alike, every-thing from the old-fashionedpotholders we all made in our

youth to complex glass-fused jew-

elry. After searching for a homefor our second location, May saidthat the family-owned business isthrilled to be a part of this vi-brant and welcoming community.When asked, why they chose thename Rhinoceros, Bernadette ex-plained that when Kate, her co-owner and sister, was youngerher class prepared a Thanksgiv-

ing Day performance for theirparents. Everyone picked parts,pilgrims, Native Americans,turkeys. When Kate was askedwhat she wanted to be, Kate ex-

claimed, a rhinoceros! After at-tempts to divert Kate to Thanks-giving-themed characters failed,the teacher allowed Kate to playthe rhinoceros. On show day, Katehappily stampeded around theThanksgiving performance.

Rhinoceros embodies the cre-ativity, enjoyment, exploration,and enthusiasm we hope to bring

out in all of our customers, youngand old, Bernadette said.For more information, call the

store at 298-9238.
