    SEAN LAJOIE/The SunSeneca High School’s No. 5 Brad Jankowski looks to set up the offense as his team tries to main-tain its lead. Seneca topped Shawnee, 69-64, in a road victory last week. The Golden Eagles re-ceived double-digit scoring contributions from five players. The victory improves their record to 3-2, pulling them even with the Renegades. For another photo, see page 2.

    Township solicitor DouglasHeinold read the oath of office asthe new members followed along

    with their right hand on the Bibleand their families by their side.The members swore to commit

    themselves to performing all of the duties of a township commit-tee member to the best of theirabilities.

    The new committee wasted notime before moving into publiccomment and diving into someroutine matters during its first

    meeting together.After getting through a laun-

    dry list of yearly resolutions andhousekeeping ordinances, thecommittee delved into the bill list,which totaled approximately$1.87 million.

    Di Croce specified that the twohighest expenses on the list werethe board of education, costingmore than $773,000, and the sec-ond-largest expense being the$413,000 that goes to the LenapeRegional High School District.

    “I think it’s important thateveryone in the public under-stands what makes up over 90 per-cent of our bills every month,”Gimbel said.

    Another large expenditure list-ed was the purchasing of land forthe township for $223,000. Theland – located on Willow GroveRoad between the municipalbuilding and the Indian Mills Vol-

    unteer Fire Station – is intendedto become the site of the newcemetery the township is lookingto install as a new means of in-come. The 7.5 acres were acquiredwith solely the township’s fundsso there are no restrictions or tieson it.

    Pledging a 2016 property tax re-duction while expanding servicesfor those in need, Kate Gibbs andRyan Peters were sworn in onJan. 4 as new members of theBurlington County Board of Cho-sen Freeholders.

    Freeholder Bruce Garganiowas unanimously selected toserve as the board’s director for2016. Gibbs will serve as deputydirector.

    Gibbs, 29, and Peters, 33, hadnot previously held elected office.Upon her swearing in, Gibbs has

    officially become the youngest fe-male freeholder serving in thestate. With the addition of Gibbsand Peters, Burlington Countynow boasts the youngest freehold-er board in the state. In remarks,both Gibbs and Peters addressedthe need to make BurlingtonCounty more affordable.

    As the newly elected Freehold-er director, Garganio delivered a

    state of the county address thathighlighted financial accomplish-ments, noting that BurlingtonCounty government has a recordof cutting spending whilecontinuing to provide first rateservices.

    “This board is proud to have arecord of fiscal responsibilitythat knows no equal,” Garganiosaid. “In the last seven years,county property taxes have beenreduced by more than $20 million,leading the independent PewCharitable Trust to credit

    Burlington County with havingthe lowest tax burden in thePhiladelphia region. At the sametime, we cut county spending byover $40 million, spending lessper resident than any other coun-ty in the state even as we have ex-panded essential services andprogramming for seniors, veter-ans, families, and the most vul-nerable.”

    Garganio pointed to Burling-ton County’s aggressive Work-force Development Initiative, newpartnerships with Virtua Hospi-tal, improvements at the countyanimal shelter and the recenttransition to single-stream recy-cling as examples of what goodgovernment can accomplish byrunning efficiently and utilizingnew technologies.

    As director, Garganio also hasthe responsibility of assigningfreeholders as directors of indi-vidual departments. He placed

    6 THE SHAMONG SUN — JAN. 13–19, 2016

    By SEAN LAJOIEThe Sun

    According to Special Education Advisor,13.6 percent of the nation’s total studentenrollment ages 3 to 21 is served under oneof the Individuals with Disabilities Educa-tion Act categories.

    Since the first special education law wasenacted in 1977, the total number of chil-dren and students served has increased by81 percent. This overwhelming increase inthe opportunities for these children tothrive in their school system has beenmade possible by folks such as CelesteWilden.

    Though Wilden is relatively new to theLenape High School District, she is by nomeans new to teaching.

    Having about 25 years of educational ex-

    perience, 15 of those in the learning dis-abilities teacher/consultant field, Wildenhas brought a unique knowledge to the dis-trict.

    Signing on with Seneca High School inOctober 2012 has proven to be a matchmade in heaven for both the teacher andher school.

    She was recently given the 2015 SenecaEducational Services Professional of theYear award for her hard work and dedica-tion just three years into her stint with theschool.

    “To be recognized for something that Itruly just enjoy doing is a blessing,”Wilden said.

    Her passion for the matter first beganduring college when she served as a nannyfor a little girl with special needs. She hadsuch an impact on Wilden that she decided

    to switch her major to special educationwith a focus on the handicapped.Wilden attended LaSalle University,

    Penn State University and Rowan Univer-sity where she obtained her bachelor’s de-gree in special education.

    After being told she would not be able tobe an LDTC without her master’s degree,she went back to school and obtained a de-gree in learning disabilities.

    She also held teaching roles in Riversideand Delanco before coming to Seneca.

    Wilden has a passion for being that per-son in a child’s life who provides recogni-tion and acknowledgement, she said.

    “I love when I can make a difference inthe life of someone,” Wilden said. “Having

    just one person out there (outside of their

    Fifteen years ago, following theattacks of Sept. 11, 2001, therewas one song that became a ral-

    lying cry for our country. “God BlessAmerica” was sung by Americanseverywhere, regardless of their ethnicbackground or religious beliefs.

    The most public places where thistook place were at professional sport-ing events – before the start of NFLgames and in the seventh inningstretch of MLB games. Fifteen yearslater, the practice still continues atmany sporting venues in the UnitedStates.

    Piggybacking on this practice, an el-ementary school in a local school dis-trict began saying “God bless Ameri-ca” following the Pledge of Allegiance,which, let’s not forget, also includes

    the word “god.”

    But now, 15 years into this practice,the American Civil Liberties Unionhas said enough is enough, and Glen-view Elementary School in HaddonHeights will no longer be saying “Godbless America.”

    The principal at the school, Sam Sas-sano, defended the practice, writing toparents that, “it has been our view thatthe practice is fundamentally patrioticin nature and does not invoke or ad-vance any religious message, despitethe specific reference to God’s bless-

    ing.” Alas, the school won’t be havingits students say the phrase “God blessAmerica” after they say “one nation,under God.”

    Congratulations, ACLU, you havesucceeded. While children will betaught about the founding of our coun-

    try and the rights we as Americanshave, they will be faced with the factthat if a group as big or as strong asthe ACLU pressures you, you have nochoice but to succumb to its wishes.

    While our children will be learningabout the dangers of bullying, theywill be confronted with the fact that if you are big enough and if you bullyhard enough, you can get what youwant.

    Thank you, ACLU. Keep fighting thegood fight.

    in our opinion

    ACLU: The big bullyUnder pressure from organizati on, sch ool eliminates “God bless Ame rica”

    Happy New Year! We hope thatyour holiday season was bothrestful and enjoyable. As we start2016, we have a blank page in anew book. However, I would liketo look back on a story that is stillin progress, the history of thePinelands Library.

    The Burlington County Li-brary was the first to open in NewJersey in the 1920s. Without a per-manent edifice, the books were

    housed in local homes, churches,firehouses and post offices andstaffed by local volunteers. Med-ford Village Firehouse opened itsdoors to the library in 1928, andthe library was relocated to Med-ford Village Community House in1946.

    As Medford grew, its demandfor books and other services grew,and the need for a permanent fa-cility became apparent. As with

    all projects, there was disagree-ment in the community. The con-flict was resolved in 1968 whenthe township purchased a busgarage, and then-Mayor EphraimTomlinson suggested that be con-verted to the library. Two addi-tions were built with donations of time and money, and within twoyears, the library was completeand paid for.

    It was during the constructionthat the Medford Library Associ-ation was born. A decision wasnecessary regarding who would

    operate the library – the associa-tion, the township or the county.For reasons of staffing and booksupplies, the county was thechoice. Our application to becomea branch library was approved in1971. Because the library servicesnot only Medford and MedfordLakes, but also Tabernacle, Sha-mong, Southampton and IndianMills, the library was namedPinelands Library in recognition

    of our relationship to the PineBarrens. In 1986, another additionwas built, expanding the libraryto 6,000 square feet.

    Today, we have a full-time staf f to assist you with any questions orneeds you have regarding the serv-ices available, but more on thescope of those many services nexttime.

    Now, back to the present. Thereare many weekly activities thatcontinue at the library. In addi-tion, we are looking forward toanother Mini-Make Tech Camp
