For found-object artist and Voorhees res-ident Suzy Sherbine, the old saying ringsespecially true – one person’s trash reallyis another person’s treasure.While most would simply walk by an old

hubcap or discarded bottle on the ground,for the past seven years Sherbine has beencollecting that debris and using it in herartwork to craft pieces that draw attentionto social and environmental wrongs.Now, after seven years of collecting and

crafting, Sherbine’s art and the issuesraised from it were on display for all to seeat a Dec. 2 art show hosted by the art taskforce of Sustainable Cherry Hill, a non-profit that uses community outreach tohighlight sustainability issues on a locallevel.

How many times have you seenit: People driving around townthrowing caution to the wind,

as if they were on a NASCAR track?You’d think someone was giving awayfree $100 bills.Do they not know we have children

walking around town? Do they notcare about the safety of other mo-torists? Do they not care about theirown safety?Seems like today, everyone is in a

rush at all times; it seems like it’s get-ting worse with each passing year. Somehow, by some miracle, New Jer-

sey drivers aren’t the worst in the na-tion, at least according to an annual

study recently released by CarInsur-anceComparison.com. Well, we’re al-most the worst – we rank 45th on thislist of the nation’s worst drivers. If we’re not the worst, we’d hate to

be on the road in Minnesota, whosedrivers were collectively ranked as theworst in the nation.Even though we’re not as bad as

some of our American brethren, it’s

worth repeating: Slow down out there!Nothing can be of such importance

that you need to speed and drive errati-cally ... every time you drive! It’s justnot possible that your wife is givingbirth for the fifth time this week.Our children are walking our

streets. Our elderly are still behind thewheel. Our ready, willing and able areout on the roads, trying to get shoppingdone. And it’s going to be extra crowd-ed like this for a few more weeks.Let’s make sure everyone gets where

they’re going safely. Let’s all share theroad with each other, and let’s stopbeing such maniacs – even if we’re notthe most maniacal in the country.

in our opinion

Slow down out thereUse caution when driving on the roads, especially this time of year

Your thoughtsHow bad is the driving out there? How canwe get better? Should more regulationsbe put on New Jersey drivers to improvesafety? Let your thoughts be heardthrough a letter to the editor.

Freeholders host summitto address heroin crisis

Heroin and opiateshave become a grow-ing public safety andhealth crisis creatingdevastating effects onthe region, the stateand the nation in thelast five years. Thesenarcotics are ubiqui-tous in every commu-nity in CamdenCounty and usage is on the rise.To address the growing heroin cri-sis, the Freeholder Board hosted aCommunity Addiction Summit atHighland Regional High School inGloucester Township on Dec. 9. Theinteractive summit brought togetherprofessionals and community mem-bers to address this critical issue inour community. Attendees to the summit includedconcerned parents, middle and highschool students, physicians, nurses,pharmacists, addiction treatmentproviders, social workers, law en-forcement, prevention specialists andeducators.Former NBA player Chris Herrenserved as the keynote speaker. He re-counting his struggle with substanceabuse that he fought for much of hiscareer. Drug-free and alcohol-freesince 2008, he has now shares his ex-periences and road to sobriety withothers. He tells audiences nation-wide that it is never too late to battleback from adversity and make yourdreams become a reality.As a county we know that no one is

immune to the addiction of opiatesand the summit focused on preven-tion and treatment options. Further-more, the Philadelphia region hasbeen identified by the U.S. Drug En-forcement Administration as a mainhub for heroin distribution in theMid-Atlantic States.The scourge of heroin is rippingapart our families and killing our res-idents. It is imperative for us to act onthis crisis and bring the community

together to address it.That started with thissummit, whichworked to create part-nerships to impactchange in our county.As an elected offi-cial, opiate addictionis one of my biggestconcerns. Together,from parents to clergy,

and every stakeholder in the county,we must unite to educate and treatthis life threatening epidemic.The Freeholder Board has also cre-ated an Addiction Awareness TaskForce to connect those battling addic-tion with treatment providers andother organizations that can provideresources and assistance.

Eastside’s in-depth coverageand multimedia efforts havemade it the most accomplishedhigh school newspaper in NewJersey and one of the best in thecountry. In October, the newspa-per won the Garden StateScholastic Press Association’sNew Jersey Distinguished Jour-nalism Award for the seventhconsecutive year. Last month, thestaff traveled to Orlando, Fla., forthe National High School Jour-nalism Convention. There, East-side students won 12 individualawards, the third-most of anyschool at the convention.The building blocks for East-

side begin in journalism teacherGreg Gagliardi’s classes. Journal-ism one and two are academicelectives at Cherry Hill East, andthe class teaches students theinner workings of running anews organization.

Gagliardi emphasized the im-portance of the classes when itcomes to Eastside. When studentsjoin Eastside’s staff, they walk intoa real working news organization.“We consider ourselves more of

an actual newspaper than a schoolnewspaper in the way that wefunction, the way the pages areput together and our editorial dis-cussions have everyone talkingabout the issues and then comingto a consensus,” Gagliardi said.At the end of journalism one,

students can apply to become aneditor. All students who are edi-tors with Eastside take journal-ism two.Getting a position with East-

side goes well beyond attendingjournalism classes. Gagliardi es-timates only half of the studentswho applied with Eastside thisyear received a position with thepaper.“We have a lengthy application

process that includes an interviewand a portfolio,” Gagliardi said.“For editor positions, you alsohave to make a presentation.”

Eastside’s staff is much largerthan most high school newspa-pers. The organization has 37 edi-tors, and more than 100 studentscontribute to the paper over thecourse of the school year.The students working for East-

side come from all backgrounds.However, the one thing the edi-tors have in common is theyenjoy telling stories and they arepassionate about the Cherry HillEast community. “When I found that I could

write an article that could impactat least one person, it was a wholedifferent feeling for me,” manag-ing editor Kaitlyn Boyle said.“You see how your stories im-

pact people when you write some-thing or you interview someone,”co-editor-in-chief Julia Rothkoffsaid.Eastside’s in-depth content al-

lows it to stand out in the CherryHill East community.The school newspaper acts as a

voice of and for the students,

sometimes publishing stories oncontroversial topics such asPARCC testing or negotiations be-tween Cherry Hill teachers andthe board of education.Boyle said Gagliardi teaches

the students to write about impor-tant topics going on in the schoolsand to tell the story fairly.“If we have a story we want to

do that goes against the board ofed or the school district, (Gagliar-di) encourages us to do that,” shesaid. “We’re not shut down byhim.”Eastside’s digital presence also

stands out from other high schoolnewspapers. Its website,www.eastside-online.org, is up-dated with new stories on a dailybasis. Eastside’s YouTube chan-nel features videos of importantschool events. Eastside also has alarge following on social media,with more than 1,600 Twitter fol-

lowers and 2,800 Facebook likes.Eastside hasn’t just engaged

the student body better online, ithas also expanded its audience toalumni, parents and others out-side the school community.“I know of at least one person

that follows the Eastside Twitterclosely during every sportingevent,” co-editor-in-chief JaredBorowsky said. “Graduates keepup with sporting events and otherthings that are happening on ourTwitter as well. If they can’t graban issue because they’re at col-lege or they’ve even graduatedcollege already, they can look atthe website.”Eastside’s digital presence was

built thanks to its quality content.The staff has found ways to con-nect with followers and get themto re-tweet, share or talk to othersabout Eastside’s efforts.“We recently started live

stream football games and we’relive streaming hockey games,” co-editor-in-chief Liza Rothkoffsaid. “Last year we did basketball.I know the basketball games last

year got a lot of views. A lot of itcomes from kids re-tweetingthings they see on Eastside on-line.”“People will see photos on

Facebook and they realize theycome from Eastside, so they’ll fol-low us,” Borowsky said.As Eastside’s digital presence

continues to expand, its print edi-tion continues to thrive. Thenewspaper has made changes toits print edition over the years toseparate it from the website.“The online site is our break-

ing news,” Gagliardi said. “As amonthly newspaper, we’re morelike a magazine. They’re moreevergreen stories, they’re featureoriented.”Each year, the staff is deter-

mined to continue making thenewspaper bigger and better.Winning awards on an annualbasis is now expected. The edito-rial staff credits Gagliardi withmuch of Eastside’s success andbelieves the newspaper will con-tinue to be one of the best as longas he is the paper’s advisor.

Marlton resident Marc Bertinoknew he was competing with avery good adult tennis team whenhe took the court with a UnitedStates Tennis Association Leagueteam from Washington Crossing,Pa., this year.However, he never thought the

team would be one of the best inthe United States. “We were pretty confident we’d

get to the district tournament,”Bertino said. “But beyond that, Ithink we surprised ourselves.”Washington Crossing did much

better than just win its local dis-trict. The team qualified for theUSTA Team National Champi-onships on Oct. 30 and advancedall the way to the championshipmatch before losing to Dallas,Texas.The team included a number of

players from South and CentralJersey including Bertino, Had-donfield resident Jeoffrey Pur-nell, Cherry Hill resident Alex

Lawrason and Princeton residentJoseph Hargrove. The team con-sisted of about two dozen experi-enced tennis players from Penn-sylvania and New Jersey. Washington Crossing compet-

ed in the USTA 40 and older 4.0adult league. During the regularseason, the team competedagainst other teams from aroundthe Philadelphia area. The teamthen competed in district and re-gional tournaments, winningboth to advance to the nationalchampionships at Indian Wells,Calif. Washington Crossing wasone of 16 teams to advance to na-tionals. There were about 1,500teams nationwide who played inthe division this year. “To know that you’re one of

only 16 teams to make it out there,that’s a big accomplishment,”Hargrove said.With the team consisting of

some of the better adult tennisplayers from around the area,Bertino felt the team was going tobe competitive. When the seasonstarted, however, he didn’t think

they’d get all the way to the na-tional level.Purnell said all of the team

members were avid tennis play-ers who practiced anywhere fromfour to seven days per week. Hefelt this was a key to their suc-cess.“We’re all playing four to seven

days a week, so we all kind oftrained on our own,” Purnellsaid. Prior to going to nationals, the

team practiced together inDelaware for two days. Lawrason,who has played for multipleteams in USTA leagues in thepast, said the trip was huge inbuilding camaraderie among theteam members.“The camaraderie was excep-

tional,” Lawrason said. “Therewas only one other team wherethe camaraderie was equivalent.”“I played team sports growing

up. I played college baseball atDrexel,” Bertino said. “Tennis isa fun sport, but you don’t get the

team camaraderie. That’s what’snice about the USTA League.”Hargrove had been to nationals

with another team in 2013. Hesaid the key for a team to make itto nationals is to have strongteam unity.“The difference with both

teams is that there’s good chem-istry,” Hargrove said. “Winning atthe national level means havinggood singles and good doublepairings. “This team had quite a few

folks that were able to pair togeth-er as a good doubles pairing.”At nationals, Washington

Crossing continued its winningways. The team went a perfect 3-0through the round robin portionof the event on Oct. 30 and 31 andadvanced to the semifinals onNov. 1.In the semifinals, Washington

Crossing defeated Centennial,Colo., 4-1, to advance to the na-tional championship matchagainst Dallas. The team fell justone victory short of being nation-al champions, losing to Dallas, 3-1.Hargrove said the team was

disappointed after losing thechampionship, but the loss didn’ttake away from what the teamhad accomplished.“We didn’t lose the match so

much as the other team just beatus,” he said. “They had a betterroster out on the court, but it wascompetitive. We didn’t beat our-selves.”There were individual success

stories among the team’s success.Bertino and Purnell played dou-bles together throughout the sea-son and were unstoppable. Thepair went a perfect 14-0 in tourna-ment matches, including a perfect

5-0 at nationals. They earned theteam’s lone win against Dallas. “Marc and I took our tennis to

a whole new level,” Purnell said.“We scripted tennis plays and weexecuted these plays from start tofinish. It worked for us.”Lawrason said the entire expe-

rience, from the matches to theactivities off the court, was spe-cial. He was especially pleasedwith the good sportsmanship andcamaraderie the teams sharedwith one another. “Everybody exhibited really

good sportsmanship and were re-spectful of everyone else,”Lawrason said.USTA League rules don’t allow

teams who advance to nationalsto compete together again in sub-

sequent seasons, so WashingtonCrossing’s team will have a differ-ent look next year. However, all team members say

they will continue to play tennisand dream of making a returntrip to Indian Wells in the future.“I’m looking forward to doing

it again next year,” Purnell said.“Hopefully, you can catch light-

ning in a bottle and get back thereagain,” Lawrason said.

ment plan the district institutedon Sept. 1. The launch of the newplan was met with opposition anda grievance from the CHEA.CHEA President Martin

Sharofsky said the CHEA is upsetwith how the district proceededwith instituting the new plan.The presidents of the associa-tions representing employees inthe school district were informedof the plan during a meeting onAug. 28, just days before the dis-trict implemented it. The districtthen informed employees of thechange by email on Sept. 2. Sharofsky said the district vio-

lated its contract with CHEAsince the plan was not collectivelybargained and the district didn’tgive CHEA enough notice. “Our contract and every other

group’s contract reads that weshould receive 90 days notice,”Sharofsky said.Hartigan’s report details a

brief description of the new plan.

According to the report, CherryHill Public Schools had underesti-mated the projected cost of pre-scription insurance last Juneafter the budget for 2015-16 hadbeen approved.“The district was informed

that the original projections forprescription insurance were un-derestimated by $2.4 million dueto an increase in the use of spe-cialty drugs and an explosion inthe increased use of compounddrugs, which are drugs createdwhen a pharmacist combines,mixes or alters ingredients of adrug to create a medication tai-lored to individual needs,” Harti-gan said in the report. “Thesedrugs are not FDA approved andhave been shown at times to be in-effective and even harmful to pa-tients. While the number of em-ployees using these compounddrugs is small, the cost is not.”According to information post-

ed on the Cherry Hill PublicSchools website, the district hadto choose between implementingthe program or reallocating $2million from elsewhere in thebudget to cover the cost of non-

FDA approved prescriptions. Thedistrict’s release also statesCHEA members would pay on av-erage $260 per year more in pre-mium insurance contributions.The district’s new manage-

ment plan provides access to anappeals process for those pre-scribed compound drugs in an ef-fort to see if there is a lower-costsolution.CHEA is not against the cre-

ation of a compound drug man-agement plan with the district.CHEA filed a grievance with

Superintendent Joe Meloche andthe board of education after theplan began on Sept. 1. Sharofskysaid Meloche and the board de-nied all of CHEA’s grievances.CHEA then decided to send thegrievance to arbitration in lateNovember.Sharofsky said CHEA under-

stands the need for the district tohave a compound drug manage-ment plan, but added the shortnotice and lack of input didn’tallow employees in the district toprepare for the sudden changeproperly.“We’re not opposed to some

type of agreement on the com-pound drug issue,” Sharofskysaid. “It just wasn’t done the rightway.”Though the compound drug

management plan was discussedin Hartigan’s report, Hartigandid not give a recommendation onthe plan’s inclusion in the pend-ing contract between the districtand CHEA, as it was not part ofthe fact-finding process.District officials declined to

comment on CHEA’s grievance,but the board of education is stillhopeful of reaching a settlementwith CHEA in the near future. “The two sides have an ongoing

dialogue in an attempt to reach afinal settlement,” district PublicInformation Officer Barbara Wil-son said in an email on Dec. 1.Sharofsky said the two sides

planned to meet in the early partof the week of Dec. 6, but themeeting would strictly deal withthe pending grievance and not ne-gotiations.

Sherbine’s journey into found-object art began seven years agoafter she attended a SCH screen-ing of the film “Poet of Poverty,”which focused on the poverty anddegradation of the city of Cam-den.Motivated by the film, Sher-

bine volunteered with the Centerfor Environmental Transforma-tion in Camden, and one daywhile helping with the cleanup ofsome empty lots, the pieces ofmetal and bolts and rusty chainsSherbine found began to inspireher.“I started finding all this stuff

on the ground and I just felt so in-spired by this debris … that in thesuburbs you wouldn’t find lyingaround, and it spoke to me artisti-cally and I started makingpieces,” Sherbine recalls.Sherbine now calls her art-

work “ArtofFACTS: Trash Trans-

formed to Teach,” as each piecealso has a small placard throughwhich she describes what materi-als she used, including the resinidentification code of any plas-tics.For her art, Sherbine said she

also likes to use material that’sdifficult and ugly to work with,such as an old tire one might findon the side of the highway, as it’schallenging to cut or adhere otherobjects to, which exemplifies itsnon-biodegradable nature.“That’s the thing that inspires

me is when I find it on theground, when it’s not even mak-ing it into the trash,” Sherbinesaid. “It’s just there and it shocks me

sometimes what I find.”One piece Sherbine had on dis-

play at the SCH event was an oldbottle designed to look like a per-son, with the plastic wrappings ofjuice bottles inside to show howhumans are filling themselveswith plastic.Another piece at the event used

old apartment keys to note howthe poor are always struggling

and scraps of paper with the ti-tles of books on them to show theloss of Camden’s formerCarnegie Library.“The goal is to just stimulate

the notion of reusing and repur-posing and also to convey some ofthe issues of environmental in-justice and social injustice,” Sher-bine said.Sherbine also works to instill

those notions of reusing and re-purposing in the next generationby taking her artwork into localschools and teaching studentsabout sustainability.Recently, Sherbine worked

with a group of students fromCherry Hill’s Beck Middle Schoolto make an outdoor tree sculptureusing soda cans and the metalfrom the wire baskets used inplanting trees in Camden.Sherbine said the students love

the idea of taking somethingmeant for one purpose and usingit in a totally different way, and ifthey feel any stress about thestate of the environment, learn-ing how to remake and reuse ob-jects can help them feel betterabout the future.“Recycle doesn’t always mean

just dump it in the recycling bin,because that becomes like an au-topilot reaction after a while, justdump it in the bin, but there canbe a second life to something ifyou think about it,” Sherbine said.SCH Art Task Force Director

Natalie Barney said Sherbinewas one of the first people shereached out to last year when firststarting the art task force, whichnow works to hold events to com-municate the ideas of sustainabil-ity through art.“Her art speaks volumes for

what we’re trying to talk about,”Barney said. “It’s great that she’sthe first artist that we’re doingthis with.”It’s a mission Sherbine knows

all too well.“It’s a great thing that we’re

bringing art to sustainability,making a presence for it, makinga statement with it,” Sherbinesaid.
