The Moorestown Sun
Representatives for the Penn-
sylvania Real Estate Investment
Trust have taken another step for-
ward in trying to convince
Moorestown voters to approve the
sale of liquor in the Moorestown
Mall.
PREIT pledged last week that if
residents of the township ap-
prove both liquor referendums in
November, the group will pur-
chase four of the proposed six
liquor licenses at $1 million each.
The $1 million figure would
represent the largest amount paid
for any liquor license in South
Jersey in the last 12 months, ac-
cording to PREIT representatives.
We are hopeful that this an-
nouncement demonstrates our
strong commitment to seeing
Moorestown Mall succeed long-
term and our seriousness about
transforming the mall into an en-
tertainment and dining destina-
tion that will enhance the already
special quality of life in
Moorestown, PREIT President
Joe Coradino said. The figure of
$1 million per license is in addi-
tion to the approximately $500,000
to $650,000 in additional tax rev-
enue each year as the malls as-
sessed value increases.
The township can issue up to
six liquor licenses if the referen-
dum is approved, Mayor John
Button said, but the township
council has yet to even discuss
the liquor license prices.
Right now the township and its
representatives are still trying to
gather all the facts and analyze
the referendums, Button said.
Council sets the price of the li-
censes, and we have had no dis-
cussion on that whatsoever yet,
Button said. We dont have the
business case here yet, we dont
have all the facts yet. I under-
stand we can issue up to six li-
censes, but we havent done the
analysis yet. Were gathering our
information right now.
In a written statement, Coradi-
no also confirmed that each
restaurant at the mall would have
to purchase a separate license.
For instance, at Cherry Hill Mall,
Bahama Breeze, Capital Grille
and Seasons 52 all possess sepa-
rate liquor licenses, even though
the same company owns them all.
According to the New Jersey Al-
PREIT

persuade
Mall owner has pledged to
purchase four liquor licenses
if referendums are approved

After 16 months of intense ne-
gotiations, the Moorestown Board
of Education and the
Moorestown Education Associa-
tion ratified new three-year con-
tracts for all members of the
MEA.
The contracts will run through
June 30, 2013. According to BOE
representatives, the new con-
tracts will not have an effect on
the school tax rate for the first
year of the three-year deal.
It is not a perfect settlement,
however, we believe that it is fair.
It was ratified overwhelmingly by
the association members, MEA
President Lisa Tripani said. The
MEA is, and has always been, a
union of professionals who work
in education. We will continue to
provide an excellent educational
experience to the students in the
district. While we are all relieved
that we are beginning school with
a contract, we also lived through
a difficult year last year. The
MEA will move forward, always
with the same goal to provide an
excellent educational experience
to the students in the district.
The final settlement of the
three-year contract equals a cu-
mulative 6.5 percent increase,
though it is not universal across
all staff salaries, board member
Linda Alexandroff read from a
prepared BOE statement. Newer
teachers between steps one
through seven will have their
salary increase in the first year.
For teachers above step seven,
there is no salary increase in year
one, but the BOE agreed to a one-
time payment of 1 percent based
on salary.
Staff will also continue to pay
1.5 percent of their salary toward
health care, with new employees
contributing between 10 to 20 per-
cent of health-care costs. As re-
quired by law, in the third year of
the contract, all employees will
pay between 5 to 17.5 percent for
their health-care premiums.
Finally, both the BOE and the
MEA have agreed to form a sub-

coholic Beverage Commission,
even multiple restaurants owned
by the same entity within the
same building are not permitted
to operate off one license unless
the establishments are contigu-
ous, which would not be the case
at Moorestown Mall.
I know that some residents op-
posed to our plans have sought to
claim that multiple restaurants
will operate off of one license at
the mall that is simply not true,
Coradino said.
Each restaurant will be re-
quired to operate off of a sepa-
rate license, which means
Moorestown taxpayers are guar-
anteed of receiving $4 million in
revenue from the sale of the li-
censes alone.
The fate of the two referen-
dums which will ask voters to
approve the sale of liquor licens-
es in the town and then restrict
the sale to fine dining establish-
ments in the mall will be decid-
ed in the November general elec-
tions.

Day of Mindfulness
Oct. 1
Buddhist Sangha of South Jer-
sey will sponsor a Day of Mind-
fulness on Saturday, Oct. 1 in the
DOlier Room of the Moorestown
Friends Meeting, 118 E. Main St.,
Moorestown.
Registration will be at 9 a.m.
and the program will be from 9:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Gloria Taraniya
Ambrosia, a Buddhist in the
Vipassana tradition, will be the
guest teacher.
The theme for the day will be,
Useless Mental States: Wearing
Them Out Before They Wear Us
Out. Over the months and years
of Buddhist practice, people be-
come very familiar with our high-
ly-conditioned habits and pat-
terns of mind, what the Buddha
called sankharas. Through mind-
fulness and patience we gradu-
ally discover which mind states
serve us and which do not. But
sometimes, to our frustration, we
continue to fall into our most un-
skillful sankharas, usually be-
cause they are comfortable and
because we have come to see them
as part of a fixed self. Therefore,
it is in our interest to become
more aware of this process that
perpetuates dukkha our suffer-
ing so that we can more skillful-
ly hone our meditative efforts to
wear out these useless mental
states before they wear us out.
During this one-day program,
participants will practice mind-
fulness techniques while sitting,
walking, eating and moving
about through the day.
Ambrosia has been a Dhamma
teacher since 1990. She is a stu-
dent of the western forest sangha,
the disciples of Ajahn Sumedho
and Ajahn Chah, and is a lay Bud-
dhist minister in association with
Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery
in California. She served as resi-
dent teacher of the Insight Medi-
tation Society in Barre, Mass.
from 1996 through 1999. Taraniya
teaches at the Barre Center for
Buddhist Studies and at Dhamma
centers in the United States.
We will provide help in how to
meditate and do several sittings.
The program also includes talks
by Taraniya, outdoor walking
meditation (weather permitting)

W
ith summer vacation in the
rear-view mirror, students
of all ages are back in
school.
That means sports, theater, music
and academic achievements are right
around the corner. And we want to
hear about them.
These days, a lot of the news about
schools concerns taxes and budgets
and thats for good reason. Gov.
Christies new normal was a game-
changer for districts across the state.
Balancing the goal of providing a
quality education with an apprecia-
tion of the taxpayer is an even more
daunting task these days.
Other times, there are stories about
kids getting into trouble or other prob-
lems in school.
But we recognize that theres more
to school news than debates over
money or stories about troublemaking
kids. Every day, students do remark-
able things. They excel in athletics or
academics. They succeed in music and
theater. They perform tremendous
acts of giving.
We here at The Sun love to hear
about these achievements and to share
them with everyone in your communi-
ty.
But, to do that, we need your help.
We need to know about your events
and activities well in advance. And, if
we cant make it out to cover an event,
wed be most grateful if you could
email a photo or short press release.
So, as the new school year begins,
please keep us in mind. If youre a
teacher or administrator, give us a
heads up about the good things going
on in your school. If youre a parent,
dont be shy about sharing good news
about your children.
These kids deserve a round of ap-
plause. With your assistance, we can
help make that happen.

As a new academic year begins,
please keep The Sun in mind if you

Moorestown government is not
for the people, by the people
In Moorestown, Government of the
people, by the people, for the people went
out the window. Three people call the
shots: Mayor Button and councilmen Gallo
and Testa.
Of course, legal opinion is usually on
their side. Thats why there will be liquor
referendums on the November ballot and
perhaps no open space referendum. Town-
ship Attorney Thomas Coleman stated that
the PREIT petition for the liquor referen-
dums was legal while the open space peti-
tion, which was signed by 1,493
Moorestown residents, had deficiencies
that made it illegal.
I disagree with these opinions. If coun-
cil wanted to put an open space referen-
dum on the ballot, it would do so. Mean-
while, we should be wary of the liquor ref-
erendums.
The second referendum (the one that
would limit the sale of up to six liquor li-
censes at the Moorestown Mall and would
forbid the sale of liquor anywhere else in
town) is glaringly flawed.
Indeed, it may not be legally binding in
New Jersey, a state that, to my understand-
ing, doesnt permit zoning by referendum.
If it passes and liquor is served at fine-din-
ing restaurants at the mall, other fine-din-
ing restaurants located elsewhere in the
township might suffer. Their loss of rev-
enue would open the door to litigation. Be-
fore long, restaurant owners might sue the
township on grounds that the restriction of
liquor licenses to a few establishments
within the Moorestown Mall is an unfair
and illegal exercise of spot zoning. The
cost of defending the townships position
in court might exceed whatever income
would accrue to our coffers from the sale of
the liquor licenses.
Thus, the first of these two referendums
(the one that would allow the sale of liquor
anywhere in town, except on boats, planes
and trains) is the only one that would be
enforceable. A yes vote on that question
would make it possible for alcohol to be
served in all commercially-zoned areas of
Moorestown. Eventually, we could have
bars along Main Street, Lenola Road, and
Chester and Camden avenues. With bars
would come the need for increased police
presence and sweeping changes in the
character of our community.
A cynic might say, who cares? What
makes Moorestown so special anyway? To
this I reply, what makes Moorestown is its
soul, the soul of a family-oriented commu-
nity as reflected in the towns history, its
downtown, its neighborhoods, its schools,
its commitment to open space, its spirit of
volunteerism Now thats worth preserv-
ing.
Monique Begg
Life, liberty and
second chances?
Although I am only a casual student of
U.S. history, I am aware of our nations
basic founding principles. Individualism,
the protection of beliefs, religion and free
speech, representative government are all
familiar concepts to anyone who has taken
high school history. However, I must have
been out sick on the day when the sacred
right to a second chance was discussed.
Did soldiers of old, who spilled their blood
on the battlefields during the revolution
and later the war to preserve the union, in
some way do this to make the opportunity
for a do-over a uniquely American right?
When we fought in the devastating world
wars of the 20th century, were we fighting
grand enemies of the world who believed
in (gasp) no do-overs? Did we fight the
Cold War in order to preserve the right to
call a Mulligan?
Two days ago, I saw tape of the press
conference announcing Michael Vicks
$100 million, six-year contract. Fine
enough, I dont begrudge a man taking ad-
vantage of riches when offered. He would
be a fool to turn away from a lucrative op-
portunity when it is so piously offered.
And though I am disgusted by his past acts
of arrogance and brutality, and cruelty, all
signs now point to the likelihood that he
will actually maintain his recent conver-
sion in beliefs and morals, and go on to
have a prolific career as a Philadelphia
Eagle.
My larger sense of disgust comes from
Andy Reids repeated profession that
America is about second chances, and he is
acting in line with our unique values as a
country that celebrates redemption. Its a
given then. People deserve second chances!
American is the land of opportunity,
even when you flush the first one down the
bowl.
But why? How do we look past the mil-
lions of Americans, more and more every-
day, growing up in poverty, surrounded by
the scourge of violence, dodging drug deal-
ers on the corner, who never have much of
a first chance? I work with these young
men, many of them neglected by disinter-
ested or overwhelmed parents, who are la-
beled and dismissed by society as thugs
and punks. And although some will man-
age to find their way past the bounds of
their beginnings, many more will give into
the life of, and death of, the streets.
Ironically, many of the young men I
work with look at Michael Vick as a hero,
someone to emulate. Blindly, they believe
that they too will have a second chance.
They can drop out of school, sell drugs, fa-
ther children before they have any ability
to provide, join gangs, and kill when
pushed, and at some point they will get a
do-over. However, this is a myth. By the
time these young Michael Vick protgs
are ready to enter the adult world, with a
sealed juvenile record to boot, it is already
too late. They have fallen far behind in

Supporters argument
not convincing
So far, statements made by
PREIT/mall supporters have con-
sisted of:
n Moorestownians who dont
think that liquor licenses are the
answer are hypocrites because
most everyone has wine with din-
ner occasionally. If Maple Shade
and Mount Laurel have licenses,
why not us? Surrounding towns
real estate taxes are not lower
than ours. Those with that argu-
ment are either not even resi-
dents (like the Burlington County
Times reporter), or, if they are
residents, they chose to move
HERE and not to those other
towns. Are the residents of Had-
donfield, Collingswood, Ocean
City and Riverton (all dry towns)
also hypocrites?
n Without liquor licenses, the
mall will go bankrupt and resi-
dents will be out all those taxes.
PREIT real estate taxes represent
about 2 percent of our towns tax
revenue. PREIT, like all other
Moorestown taxpayers, has to pay
their taxes no matter what.
PREIT appeals their taxes here on
a regular basis. And they also ap-
peal in Cherry Hill (which they
consider their golden example for
how liquor saves the day). Within
the past two years, they appealed
in Cherry Hill and got their taxes
reduced. PREIT plans on paying
as little as possible, liquor licens-
es or not.
n Liquor licenses will produce
$4 million initially then $500,000
per year going forward. This
statement comes from those that
stand to make all the profit from
the licenses. To date, there has
been not a stitch of back-up infor-
mation. A bar/restaurant is sim-
ply another resident of the town
paying only real estate taxes and
nothing more. For example, Otts
Tavern pays Delran $17,500 a year
in real estate taxes for over two
acres of land and P.J. Whelihans
pays Maple Shade under $35,000 a
year. Maple Shade and Delran
townships do not receive a cut of
the profits.
Town Council says they cannot
set a price for licenses until after
the election. So will PREIT pro-
vide specific documentation re-
garding where the $4 million and
$500,000 are coming from? And
will PREIT hold meetings where
the public can ask questions and
have them answered on the spot?
Maryann Fallows
Do not limit liquor
licenses to the mall
Over the last several editions of
your newspaper, I have reviewed
several letters to the editor, which
state that the advent of liquor li-
censes at the Moorestown Mall
alone will still be objectionable.
One of your letters stated that
the writer felt that restricting the
liquor licenses to the Moorestown
Mall would be discriminatory
against the restaurants in town it-
self. Even though it would be
quite an expense to purchase a
liquor license, I agree with the
sender of that letter that the
liquor referendum should cover
the entire township. I am sure
that many gourmet restaurants
would think of joining the
Moorestown economy if in fact
they could purchase a liquor li-
cense.
Recently, I ventured into the
food court at the Moorestown
Mall. Although some of the fast
food restaurants there certainly
serve quality food, I noted that
there was not one upscale restau-
rant that my wife and I could at-
tend. If you want to venture out-
side of Moorestown, you certain-
ly can enjoy the upscale restau-
rants, which are in Cherry Hill,
Pennsauken or other townships,

which allow liquor to be served in
restaurants.
The adventure of liquor licens-
es would allow our township to
fund a lot of activities, which are
now being curtailed because of
the depressive economy we are
experiencing.
Further, Moorestown property
taxes are probably one of the
highest property taxes in the
state. Allowing liquor to be served
and licenses to be purchase
throughout the entire town would
certainly aid us in these econom-
ic depressive times. I am sure
every property owner in
Moorestown would herald a new
source of income, which could re-
duce Moorestown property taxes
substantially.
Therefore, I strenuously agree
that the referendums in Novem-
ber should also include a referen-
dum including liquor licenses to
be sold throughout the entire
town.

Moorestown DeCafe
presents Bill Staines
One of the most durable and
beloved performers on the folk
music scene today, Bill Staines
has hundreds of now folk classics
to his name.
Songs like All Gods Critters,
The Roseville Fair and Child
of Mine, have been recorded by
greats such as Peter, Paul and
Mary, Nanci Griffith, Glen
Yarborough and Jerry Jeff Walk-
er.
On stage, Staines is an inti-
mate, compelling performer, out
of the folk scene of the 60s, mix-
ing traditional tunes with his
own contemporary folk ballads.
His tales of life on the road and
observations of everyday people
provide a captivating blend of
story and song.
Also to his credit are two chil-
drens albums, both winners of
the Parents Choice Award, and
music for TV and film including
the HBO series Deadwood.
Bill Staines has been my hero
since 1977. He carries on where
Woody left off, carrying on the
tradition of stories and charac-
ters you wish you knew, Griffith
said.
DeCafe provides a warm coffee-
house environment for great
music in an intimate setting sur-
rounded by art.
Perkins Center for the Arts, 395
Kings Highway in Moorestown.
Doors open 7:30 p.m. with the

Moorestown Library
sleepover
The Moorestown Library con-
ducted two Stuffed Animal
Sleepover events during August.
Children of varied ages dressed
in pajamas brought their stuffed
animals for a story time, craft and
snack. The children also brought
a new pair of childrens pajamas
or new book to be donated to the
New Jersey chapter of The Paja-
ma Program. The children left
their stuffed animals to sleep over
at the library with Oreo, the Li-
brary Bear. The next morning,
when the children returned to the
library to reunite with their
stuffed animals, they received
photographs of the stuffed ani-
mals engaged in various activi-
ties such as reading and playing
during the Sleepover.
We were delighted to include
the state chapter of The Pajama
Program in our Stuffed Animal
Sleepover events. We are pleased
to learn that the pajamas and
books will be distributed in
Burlington County to local chil-
dren in foster care, said Jennifer
Dunne, principal childrens li-
brarian.
Pamela DePompo, Burlington
and Camden County volunteer
coordinator of the Pajama Pro-
gram, added, We appreciate the
generous support of the patrons
of the Moorestown Library. The
new pajamas and books will sure-
ly bring a smile to the faces of the
local children who will receive
them. We thank the Moorestown
Library for including us in their
programming.
To host a pajama collection
drive, please contact DePompo at
908-619-5042.
