Girl Scouts break world record
By SEAN PATRICK MURPHY The Medford Sun Medford police, with the assistance of Evesham police, arrested a suspected arsonist when he stepped off a bus in Marlton on March 11, Medford police announced recently. Jeffrey Douglas was taken into custody at around 10:30 p.m. that night without incident, on an outstanding warrant for aggravated arson and criminal mischief. Douglas contacted police earlier in the evening and advised them that he wanted to turn himself in, according to police. He indicated he would be taking a NJ Transit bus from Camden to Marlton. It was back on Feb. 25 that Medford police, fire and EMS responded to a residence on Jackson Road for a dwelling fire, according to reports. Police personnel confirmed the occupants were all evacuated, including an elderly woman, three additional adults and one juvenile. The fire was quickly brought under control; however, the residence sustained more than $400,000 in damages. The Medford Township Police Criminal Investigations Bureau please see ARSON, page 2

Medford Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph Del Rossi has taken a leave of absence after he was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol. Del Rossi, who was unavailable for comment, issued the following release: “Throughout my career, my main goal has been to keep the focus of our work on the teaching and learning process for students. Because of the disruption the current circumstance has caused, I feel that it would be in the best interest of our entire school community for me to take some time away from my responsibilities. “I apologize for any inconvenience, concern or unrest this situation has caused our school district, especially our students. I know at this time there are many unanswered questions, but for legal reasons, I can’t address them. “At some point in the very near future, I look forward to doing that. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matplease see DEL ROSSI, page 5

Arson fire in February caused $400,000 in damage ARSON Continued from page 1 investigated the fire’s cause in conjunction with the Medford Township Fire Marshal’s Office and with assistance from the Burlington and Camden county prosecutor’s offices. Police say the fire was determined to have begun in the basement and was intentionally set
utilizing an ignitable liquid. According to police, a short time before the fire started, the homeowner’s adult son, Jeffrey Douglas, had called the home and asked his parents to leave the basement door unlocked so he could retrieve personal belongings. A short time later, residents smelled smoke and discovered the fire in the basement. Douglas was subsequently transported to Virtua Memorial Hospital in Mount Holly and
transferred to Temple Burn Center in Philadelphia. He was treated at Temple for smoke inhalation and released on Feb. 27. On March 8, Medford police issued an arrest warrant for Douglas, of Camden, charging him with five counts of aggravated arson and one count of criminal mischief. Douglas was subsequently remanded to the Burlington County Jail in lieu of $390,000 bail.
Woman arrested for alleged sexual assault A 42-year-old woman has been arrested on charges she sexually assaulted a boy, according to police reports. Susannah McHugh was charged with three counts of sexual assault and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, police said.
On March 2, the Medford police say they were advised of the alleged sexual assault. Police say the subsequent investigation revealed McHugh engaged in prohibited sex acts with the victim on two occasions in late February. On March 6, Medford police ex-
ecuted several search warrants at the McHugh residence and during the late evening hours, arrested her. She was remanded to the Burlington County Jail Women’s Facility and posted $200,000 full bail. The case will soon be heard in superior court, police said.
MARCH 21-27, 2012 – THE MEDFORD SUN 3
Battling for a cause By ROBERT LINNEHAN and SEAN PATRICK MURPHY The Medford Sun It’s school vs. school, friend vs. friend, class vs. class, as the schools of the Lenape High School Regional School District will battle it out and try to collect the most items for Goodwill International of Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia. Lenape Regional High School District Foundation of Leadership students and faculty advisers from each high school organized the community-service project benefiting Goodwill. Proceeds from the sale of everything collected fund Goodwill’s job training programs and career services that help local residents with disabilities and disadvantages get to work. The competition will pit each high school against each other during the collection period which began on Monday, March 5,
and ends Thursday, April 19. “The Lenape Regional High School District is excited for the partnership with Goodwill Industries and the community service opportunity for our students,” said LRHSD Superintendent of Schools Emily Capella. “Our students are committed to service learning and their contribution to the community is commendable.” It’s going to be a pressure-filled two months as students, parents and faculty at Cherokee, Lenape, Seneca and Shawnee high schools begin cleaning out their closets, basements and garages to find gently-used unwanted items for Goodwill. Len Westman, north principal at Lenape High School, said it is important to help others in need. “It’s just another initiative that the district promotes giving back to the community,” Westman said. “It gets the kids to think about more than themselves
(and) promotes a sense of community.” He said the students who participate are well-rounded and are civic-minded. “It makes better citizens,” Westman said. Shawnee High School Principal Matthew Campbell thinks the drive and competition are great ideas. “There are no losers,” Campbell said, noting the satisfaction realized by those who think of others and try to better the world they live in. He said the students will hopefully become people who do community service all of their lives. “I appreciate their willingness to partner with the schools for a good cause,” Campbell said of Goodwill. Tony Cattani, south principal at Lenape High School, believes civic engagement is important. please see SCHOOLS, page 4

Schools compete to benefit Goodwill International SCHOOLS Continued from page 3 “We’re always encouraging our students to help serve one another,” Cattani said. He also believes partnering with Goodwill is a good idea. “I think it’s a healthy rivalry,” Cattani said. “I think it will bring out the best in our students and our staff for a good cause. “My hopes are that the students will acknowledge that there are other people who need help.” Seneca High School Principal Jeff Spector said the drive is “tremendous” and that he’s proud to see students embrace civic responsibility. “I just think it’s great to see the kids involved in such an opportunity,” Spector said. Assistant principal of Cherokee High School Scott Agnew said whenever the district has an
inter-high school competition, it really gets the competitive juices flowing in the students. “Whenever there’s competition amongst the Indian schools, everyone is out to get number one. We’re very competitive within our district,” he said. “For the most part, our kids are very fortunate in Evesham to have the opportunities that they do. This is just one of many charitable things we do in the high school. So many of our clubs and teams do things to help out the needy. We have numerous food and clothing drives throughout the year. It’s great.” Goodwill will be bringing donation containers to each school’s parking lot during spring-cleaning season. Once full, a Goodwill truck will empty the container, count the number of bags in it, and then compute the number of pounds of donations collected. Cherokee High School’s donation box will be right at the entrance of Cherokee North, Agnew said, to remain in the forefront of student and parents minds. “We want our students to have the awareness that not everyone is as well off as most of us are. The ability to reach out and help the people who need help, our kids have been unbelievable in doing that,” he said. “To make it competitive, that’s a little bit more fuel for our kids. The stu-
dent council is heading this, but the entire school is going to be involved.” Donation results for each school will be periodically posted on the district’s website at www.lrhsd.edu and on Goodwill’s Facebook page www.facebook.com /GoodwillNJ. The school that collects the most donations (based on pounds) will be crowned the 2012 champions and receive a trophy that can be displayed at their school until 2013, when the new clothing drive challenge begins. According to Goodwill’s President and CEO Mark B. Boyd, leadership students have spent many months preparing for this competition and learning about Goodwill. In January, a group of 40 students toured Goodwill’s retail operations center, where donations are sorted, recycled and prepared for sale. A visit to Goodwill’s outsourcing and production fulfillment center, which provides employment opportunities for people with disabilities, showed them Goodwill’s mission in action. The Lenape Regional High School District serves the eight municipalities of Evesham, Medford, Mt. Laurel, Shamong, Southampton, Tabernacle and Woodland townships and Medford Lakes Borough.

Del Rossi arrested for alleged drunk driving in February DEL ROSSI Continued from page 1 ter.” Evesham police Sgt. Joseph Friel said Del Rossi’s Jeep turned over on Sunday, Feb. 26 around 10:30 p.m. Del Rossi wasn’t injured, and the Jeep is owned by the school district, he said. Friel would not divulge Del Rossi’s blood-alcohol level. He said Del Rossi told police he swerved to avoid a deer on Sagemore Drive. Officials said Del Rossi was not injured. Medford Mayor James “Randy” Pace said Del Rossi should have made the decision to take a leave of absence the night he was arrested. “The terms of Dr. Del Rossi's
contract determine if he is paid while on administrative leave,” Pace said. “I would encourage every government agency to review all contracts at renewal and ensure issues such as these protect the public’s financial interest. “Medford Township’s wellbeing is not tied to the personal habits of any individual. The community has survived two World Wars, several theater wars, depressions, recessions, drought, flood, snowstorms, the list goes on. “Medford Township is a great place to live.

Free lunch fraud
108 Kings Highway East Haddonfield, NJ 08033 856-427-0933
Seriously? Someone is scamming the schools’ free-lunch program? e could guess that there is waste in government. Even, at times, fraud. It kind of comes with the territory. But we indeed were shocked to learn that tens of millions of dollars have been lost due to abuse of the free lunch program. Recently, Gov. Christie announced the formation of a task force to study abuse and manipulation of the school funding formula due to fraud in the Free and Reduced Price School Lunch Program. According to the governor, recent “studies and news reports clearly identify high levels of fraudulent enrollment in the program – undercutting the state’s ability to fairly and appropriately determine aid levels for schools. A 2011 report by the
W
A hunger for reform The governor says tens of millions of dollars have been lost due to fraud in the free lunch program at schools. Let’s hope his task force gets to the bottom of the problem and remedies are forthcoming.
State Auditor found that as many as 37 percent of the students in the program are enrolled fraudulently.” Thirty seven percent? More than one in three? That’s a shocking number. If it’s true, heck, if it’s anywhere close to being true, then, yes, someone needs to clean house. The task force will consist of seven members from both inside and outside of government. Now, we’re usually not big on task
forces or blue-ribbon committees or whatever other study groups might be formed. Too often they spend time and tax money looking at something, pondering various scenarios and then writing a report that results in no action whatsoever. This time, we have to hope that the task force figures out where the problems are and how to fix them. And then, the state fixes them. It’s no secret that N.J. taxpayers are overburdened – especially when it comes to property taxes. There can be zero tolerance for mismanagement, waste, abuse, fraud, whatever you want to call it. This applies across the board when it comes to spending tax dollars – even when it comes to free lunches.

al lauding the improving economy. Yes, this was referring to New Jersey, but that micro-economic success is a reflection of what’s happening in the country at large. Yes, Mr. DiStefano, unemployment is down, manufacturing and retail sales are up, as well as consumer confidence. I know it hurts to admit it, but the low interest rates and government investments
in the economy appear to be working. As a retired widow, I’m willing to tighten my belt, not speculate – I’ll leave that for the Wall Street financiers, until the country can recuperate from the previous administrations’ years of borrow and spend. It’s not too unlike what Medford’s previous government did. - Marlene Lieber
Mayor’s message: Before voting, understand the issues Most residents in Medford have a fair idea of where their tax dollars go. For those who are unaware or simply unsure, I would suggest you take the time to speak with a member of your local governing body, the township manager or a local tax professional. On April 17, Medford Township’s governing body will present a referendum to the voters by the way of a vote. Prior to that, they will present a budget to the public. It is important every person who enters a voting booth understand what they are voting for. Simply voting in anger or uncertainty will compound the problems our town-
ship faces. Before you share your thoughts or feelings with your neighbor, please consider your level of understanding of this process compared to theirs. Consider if the information you have is factual or simply a matter of opinion or perception. The clock is
Randy Pace MAYOR’S MESSAGE
ticking – and you have plenty of time to gather the facts. The unintended consequences of another failed referendum are irreversible. It’s not just about trash, police, fire, leaves, contracts or what happened previously. It is truly about where we go from here. It is about the kind of government, of for and by the people that we all are responsible for. I am confident that the people of this community recognize this. We deserve a government that will represent the best interest of the whole community not just a select few.

‘Annie’ on stage this week The Medford Panther Players are preparing for their spring musical, “Annie.” Student actors take a step back in time to 1930s era New York City. The flamboyant characters have made “Annie” one of the most beloved musicals in history, and the plot likens to our current difficult economic times. Audiences are in store for a treat as director Michael Delrossi brings the life the timeless story of Annie. In what promises to be another showstopper, the musical, which won a Tony Award for Best Musical and ran six years on Broadway, showcases student actors from Haines and Memorial middle schools. Delrossi, a sixth-grade social studies teacher at the Haines’ Sixth-Grade Center, is thrilled to bring this timeless message of hope to the community. Performances are at 7 p.m. on March 23, 24, 30 and 31, and Saturday afternoons at 2 p.m. on March 24 and 31. All shows are held in the theater at Medford campus of the Burlington County Institute of
