Cars merge into one lane on Haddonfield Road just past the Cherry Hill Mall last week. The left lane was closed due to a construction
project taking place between Church Road and Maple Avenue, causing some delays.

Lost bikes
will go to
BikeShare
program
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
Lost bicycles in Cherry Hill
will soon have a new home.
Cherry Hill Council passed a
resolution at last weeks meeting
authorizing an agreement be-
tween the township and Camden
County. Cherry Hill Police will
send its allotment of lost bikes to
the countys BikeShare program.
Cherry Hill Police Chief
William Monaghan said the
agreement will allow the bikes to
be put to good use.
Theyre going to refurbish the
bicycles and then donate them to
underprivileged children
throughout the county, Mon-
aghan said. Theyll piece them
up and put them together so they
can build a bike out of a couple
other bikes.
Camden County BikeShare is
volunteer program where bike
enthusiasts and builders accept
donated bikes from residents or
organizations within the county.
There are multiple locations

For the first time, a Cherry Hill
high school has been named a
National School of Character.
The Cherry Hill Alternative
High School, home to approxi-
mately 50 students, has trans-
formed into a model school for
citizenship, respect and commu-
nity. It received the national des-
ignation from an organization
called Character Education Part-
nership. The group designated
just 41 National Schools of Char-
acter in the United States this
year.
The alternative high school
pulls students from around Cher-
ry Hill. The students go there be-
cause they are struggling or dont
feel comfortable in East or West.
The smaller school allows the
students to receive personal at-
tention and better acclimate them
to associating with other teens.
This has made character building
a huge focus of the faculty and ad-
ministration.
We built in a lot of different
things with the kids to build char-
acter, said Dawn Lacy, a teacher
at the school. We learned how to
interact with the students to
bring in character traits.
School counselor Dianne
OBrien said the school incorpo-
rated three specific traits into its
everyday teaching: respect, re-
sponsibility and citizenship.
These traits are essential build-
ing blocks in class each day.
The response from the students
has been incredible. OBrien said
many of the teens make progress
at the alternative school in ways
they never did at East or West.
They didnt really realize it,
she said. We worked really hard
with emphasizing and pointing
things out on a daily basis.
Emphasizing respect, responsi-
bility and citizenship in the class-
room every day is the main rea-
son the alternative school re-
ceived its designation. The school
applied in previous years, but fell
short in the eyes of the Character
Education Partnership. Lacy said
officials from the CEP visited the
school last year. While they liked
many of the projects the school
was working on, they asked the
school to emphasize character
traits more in everyday school
life. This led to a greater tie-in be-
tween the schools three quality
traits into lessons.
In order to be a recipient, you
need to be a model for other
schools, Lacy said. Its really a
model that can be replicated.
Outside the designation itself,
OBrien said there has been a tan-
gible difference in the develop-
ment of the students. She de-
scribed the school as having a
community. For the first time this
year, students funded their own
senior trip and created a mascot,
the tiger.
I really think the majority of
our students do well here because
its much smaller, OBrien said.
Its a strong family atmosphere.
They are able to come here even if
they are struggling at home or in
school.
Students who do well at the al-
ternative school have the option
of returning to East or West.
However, OBrien said a number
of students have chosen to stay at
their new school.
All of us feel very happy and
energized when we see the trans-
formation when they walk in for
the first day of school, OBrien
said.

Enrolling in program will
save township time, money
where the used bikes are re-
paired. They are then sent to a
distribution point. Cherry Hill
has both a repair facility and a
distribution point.
Previously, the township had
been working with other organi-
zations in a similar program.
Monaghan said the township has
been working with a church the
past five to seven years in a simi-
lar program.
The township has about 40
bikes in its possession. These in-
clude bikes abandoned on the
side of the road as well as un-
claimed lost bikes. With regard to
missing bikes, Monaghan said
there is a set amount of time after
a bike goes missing for the owner
to claim it. After a period of time
expires, the bike becomes town-
ship property.
Enrolling in the program will
save the township the time and
money it takes to store the bikes,
fix them and find them a new
home.
Previously, we had to auction
the bikes off, which is a process,
Monaghan said. Its going to save
us money in the long run with
things like storage fees.
The police department will
also be able to add personnel
through a state grant.
In a separate resolution, the po-
lice department was authorized
to participate in New Jerseys
Safe and Secure Communities
Program.
The state Department of Law
and Public Safety administers
Safe and Secure Communities.

The Safe and Secure Communi-

Now that summer is here and the school
year is nearing an end, its a great time for
families in Cherry Hill to get out and ex-
plore their local swim club.
For decades, Cherry Hill swim clubs
have served as an ideal meeting place with-
in our neighborhoods. Theyre a place to
connect with friends, enjoy quality time
with family, beat the heat and keep kids ac-
tive and entertained. They truly are a
unique and integral part of what makes
Cherry Hill such a special place to live and
play.
When I was a child, my family frequent-
ed the Haddontowne Swim Club, and I
know firsthand what a valuable asset these
clubs are to our neighborhoods. I also know
that they need
community-wide
support to contin-
ue to grow and
thrive, so that they
can serve our fam-
ilies for years to
come.
Thats where
you come in: If
you arent already
a member, I hope
youll visit your
local club in the
coming weeks to
see what it has to offer. You might be sur-
prised!
The 2014 swim club season officially
began Memorial Day weekend. Most clubs
offer a variety of membership options,
from individual memberships to large fam-
ilies, to special rates for seniors and
empty-nesters.
You can contact your local club of choice
directly:
Barclay Farm, 315 Whitemarsh Way;
(856) 429-9616; www.BarclayFarm.org

S
tarting this week, high school
seniors throughout New Jersey
will be wrapping up their final
days of class, taking their final high
school tests and walking onto their
high school field one more time for
graduation.
Its an exciting time in the life of a
young man or young woman. The final
week of high school, the graduation
ceremony, the hugs and congratula-
tions following, the celebrations that
will last throughout the summer and
the packing for, the drive to and the ar-
rival at college are memories gradu-
ates will remember fondly.
To all the grads out there, while you
may want to rush these last few days
so school can be out for summer, and
so high school can be out forever, re-
member to savor every remaining mo-
ment.
This may not mean much to you
right now, but there are experiences
you will have in these next few days,
these next few months, that you will
never replicate again. There are peo-
ple you will graduate with some
friends, some acquaintances, some
whom you grew up with whom you
may never see again. There are some
whom you are close with now who you
will grow apart from over the years,
and yes, there are some whom you will
grow closer to as your lives change.
Those wistful days of no responsi-
bility will be behind you. Soon, you
will be on your own. You will have the
freedom to eat pizza for breakfast, stay
up until 4 a.m., take a nap in the mid-
dle of the day, go berzerk at a sporting
event wearing your schools colors and
skip a class if you want to note: we
dont recommend that last one.
The label high school student
came with a lot of restrictions on your
freedom, but it also gave you a get-out-
of-jail-free card, or cards. Once gradua-
tion is over, that label goes away. All
freedoms given to an American adult
will be yours.
But so, too, will all the consequences
of your actions. The decisions you
make from as serious as do I study
for this test? to should I eat another
burrito? will all have results that
will affect your life. Its a lot of respon-
sibility. Its a good thing, for sure, but
it can also be a scary thing, becoming
an adult.
So, again, while you still have the
option, live life as a kid one last
time. Savor these last few days of high
school. And be confident that you will
do just fine.
Good luck and congratulations!
