At last week’s Shamong Town-ship Committee meeting, the or-dinance governing propertymaintenance was reviewed.

The ordinance was tabled dur-ing the previous meeting and is atopic that has come up severaltimes in public comments in theform of complaints about thestate of houses in some neighbor-hoods.

Township building code offi-cial Edward Toussaint and zon-ing official Chuck Schmidt at-tended the meeting to aid the

committee’s review.Shamong currently has no

property maintenance code. Va-cant and abandoned propertiesthe community has complainedabout, often referring to them as“eyesores,” brought the matter tothe forefront.

“Abandoned homes are thebane of our existence, and we re-ally need to get them taken careof, there’s no doubt about that,”

Mayor Kenneth Long said.It hasn’t been much of a prob-

lem in the newer, bigger neigh-borhoods, but the older neighbor-hoods and the individual lotsalong the major roads have pro-vided issues.

“If it comes down to going tocourt, it winds up getting thrownout because it’s not clearly writ-ten in our code,” Toussaint said.

Many of the problems have todo with things such as high grass,and Shamong Township does nothave an ordinance that addresseshigh grass.

Long proposed the idea of pass-ing an ordinance for vacant

homes but was shot down by Tou-ssaint because if there is no prop-erty maintenance code, the va-cant home code would be useless.

“You would have nothing to en-force,” Toussaint said.

The vacant/abandoned proper-ty ordinance that a town puts inplace is to make a bank register abank-owned property, along with

Committee discussespossible property

maintenance codeIn attempt to cut down on number of vacantor abandoned homes, committee looks to put

 together ordinance that is revisited yearly

One of the most difficult thingsto do in an academic setting is toget 300-plus students aged 10 to 14to sit still for more than five min-utes. But Detective Sarah Hydewas able to achieve that for anhour on Friday, Oct. 16, at IndianMills Memorial School, when shepresented the threats of Internetand cyber intrusions on youngteens in today’s age of instantconnectivity.

Representing the BurlingtonCounty Prosecutor’s Office, Hydeis part of the High Tech CrimesUnit, responsible for rooting outthose who would prey on childrenthrough the use of such media as

Facebook, Instagram, Snap Chatand other well known (at least tochildren) applications readilyavailable through the Internetand smartphones.

According to the BurlingtonCounty website, “The High-TechCrimes and Digital Forensics Unitconducts investigations intocrimes that involve the use of high-end technology such as com-puters, cellular telephones,

telecommunications equipmentand other advanced technology. Inparticular, the unit examines of-fenses involving the exploitationof children, network intrusion,hacking and DNS attacks. Theunit is a member the New JerseyState Police Internet CrimesAgainst Children Task Force andthe New Jersey State Police CyberTerrorism Task Force.”

Using a variety of real life ex-amples and surveying the studentbody on their use of different so-cial media tools, Hyde stressedthe need for children to be moreaware of their surroundings andcomprehend the real dangers to

them and their friends when theyopen themselves to people theydon’t know or allow themselves tobe put into compromising situa-tions. Hyde pulled no punches;discussing the real dangers of sexting, opening a dialogue withpeople they don’t know who mas-querade as young teens, and post-ing pictures of themselves thatprovide clues as to their identity,their school or their interests.

This was a real and needed “wakeup” call for a generation that de-pends on these “apps” to connectsocially.

The presentation was a continu-ation of the “Respect Week” pro-gram instituted by IMMS last year.For one week, teachers in eachsubject area and in each gradededicate a full day’s instruction toa specific topic that focuses on re-spect for others, tolerance and bul-lying issues. The teachers conductthe research to get the discussiongoing, then open it up to the stu-dents to interact and share theirthoughts and experiences. By in-troducing the prosecutor’s office

into the mix, Hyde provided reallife examples of the issues pre-sented earlier. This combined ef-fort has as its goal a better-in-formed student body, more awareof the potential dangers to them if they do not act responsibly. Hydestressed that no one was condemn-ing the use of smartphones andthe Internet, but know what canand does happen if you aren’tthinking before you post.

an in-state representative who is liable andresponsible for that property, so if there isan issue, that would be who the violationsgo to. This representative would also be re-sponsible to go to court and for paying thefines.

Banks standardly need to wait 333 daysto foreclose on a property. However, if atown adopts a vacant/abandoned propertyordinance, it allows a bank to speed thatprocess up to six months, giving it the in-

centive to push the properties instead of  just keeping them on their list as write-offs.

“That’s why they just sit on them. Theydon’t rush to foreclose, they just sit there,”Toussaint said. “And, unfortunately, the

people that pay the price are the peoplethat live on both sides of these vacant prop-erties.”

Long described this code as a concernwhen looking toward the future.He recommended the code be annually

visited for alterations or “sunsetted” so itwill not be in perpetuity, and the commit-tee will have to make decisions when Tous-saint and Schmidt are gone in the future.

“At the end of every year, we will look athow the code did, what happened andeverything in between and then we’ll getinto the next year,” Long said. “If this willsunset every year, it allows the town to takea look at it and have that discussion.”

“As township officials, we all have an ob-

ligation to protect the life, safety and wel-fare of every resident,” Toussaint said.“That’s what the property maintenancecode does.”

Committeeman Martin Mozitis saidsome people don’t mind living in poorly

kept conditions and have been living likethis for years in Shamong.

This opened the argument that some do

not mind living this way and some do.Deputy Mayor Timothy Gimbel refer-enced the ideology that back in the day,folks would just ask their neighbors to cutthe grass.

“I would love to say that we could still dothat for every neighbor, but it’s 2015 andthat just doesn’t happen anymore,” Gimbelsaid.

All the township has to refer to is a weedand debris ordinance, and it is weak atbest, according to Schmidt.

After much discussion, the ordinancewas tabled to revisit during the meeting on

Nov. 10.If the township does approve a property

maintenance ordinance, it would have toestablish an abandoned property list aftercanvassing the town and adding all vacanthomes to the list.

Sorry to say this so early, while 60-

degree days are still upon us,

but, alas, the holiday season is

creeping up quickly!

The good news is that means many

good-hearted people and organizations

will be gathering food, clothing, toys,

money and other items for those lessfortunate.

At The Sun, we want to help make

your event or drive as successful as

possible. But to do that, we need your

help.

Many retailers count on “Black Fri-

day” to help put their business “in the

black” for the year. If holiday sales are

strong, they have a good overall year. If 

sales are soft, they struggle to get by.

The same theory can hold true for

nonprofits and other groups that de-

pend on the public’s generosity duringthe holiday season to see them through

the rest of the year. People, naturally,

are more giving during this time of the

year. So, in the coming weeks, you’ll

see bell-ringers, donation drives and a

lot of other efforts to help those in

need.

We salute everyone who holds a

drive to help those in need. But we also

want to help make those efforts as

grand and successful as possible.

To do that, we need to know about

your event as soon as possible (at least

two weeks in advance is best). We need

to know what types of items you are

trying to collect, who will benefit from

the drive and, most importantly, how

people can get involved to help you.

Email is the best way to send us this

information, and you’ll find our newsemail address to the right.

Then, after we get your information,

we’ll take it from there. We’ll get it into

the paper and let everyone in town

know what it is you are trying to ac-

complish and how they can be a part of 

it.

Many families are still struggling

with the economy. There always are

people in need. Let us help you to help

them. Send us your event information

and let’s make this a big donation year.

in our opinion

Holiday helpersIt’s the season to help others; let us know about your fundraiser or drive

The need is there

The need for donations this holiday periodis strong. Tell us about your fundraisingeffort or donation drive, and we’ll telleveryone else.

10 THE SHAMONG SUN — NOV. 4–10, 2015

During the transition from thelibrary system’s current softwareto the improved software, some

temporary disruptions in servic-es are anticipated. Staff will at-tempt to minimize these disrup-tions as much as possible, and li-

brary cardholders may continueto visit library locations to bor-row and return materialsthroughout the changeover.

There will be, however, a fewtemporary service interruptionsthe public should be aware of tohelp ensure a smooth transition:

· Beginning Nov. 5, no holdsmay be placed on library materi-als, although digital materials, in-cluding ebooks, audio ebooks andstreaming video, will remain

available at this time via theOverdrive app.· From Nov. 11 to Nov. 18, nei-

ther staff nor customers will beable to log into online accounts orrenew items. Late fees will not ac-crue during this time.

· The “My List” feature will nolonger be available after Nov. 11.Those who wish to save their listsshould print or email them by log-ging into their accounts via theonline catalog. (Those who fail tosave their lists prior to Nov. 11

will lose all information stored intheir lists.)

· From Nov. 12 to Nov. 18, BCLSwill run in “offline” mode, mean-ing customers will be able to con-tinue to check out and return ma-terials in person with their li-brary cards, but other serviceswill not be available. During thetransition, Items may not appearcorrectly in the catalog, for exam-

ple.In addition, unscheduled de-

layed openings and library clos-ings are possible during the tran-

sition, and any changes in operat-ing hours will be posted on theBCLS website. The new improvedsystem is scheduled to officiallylaunch on Nov. 18 when all servic-es are expected to be restored. Atthat time, customers will be intro-duced to the exciting array of new BCLS features that will pro-vide an enhanced user experiencewhen searching the catalog, plac-ing holds, renewing items andusing other online tools. To ease

the transition, the new catalogalso will include a “Help” sectionwith guides to demonstrate func-tionality and explain basic opera-tion.

In addition, as part of the sys-tem-wide overhaul, customerswho use the BCLS mobile app byBoopsie will find that service dis-connected.

Instead, visitors to the BCLScatalog will find a responsive de-sign that will automatically refor-mat content to display properly

on any device. Additionally, cus-tomers who use tablets andsmartphones will be presentedwith this mobile-friendly viewwhen visitingcatalog.bcls.lib.nj.us

Customers who use the Over-drive digital app to borrowebooks, audio ebooks, andstreaming video will continue touse that service.

High school students enter theNational Merit Program by takingthe Preliminary SAT/NationalMerit Scholarship QualifyingTest, which serves as an initialscreen of approximately 1.5 mil-

lion entrants each year.To participate in the program, astudent must take thePSAT/NMSQT in the specifiedyear of the high school programand no later than the third year ingrades nine through 12, regardlessof grade classification or educa-tional pattern.

The program ensures that aca-demically talented young peoplefrom all parts of the United Statesare included in this talent pool bydesignating semifinalists on a

state-representational basis.In early September, about 16,000

students of the 50,000 high scorersare notified they have qualified as

semifinalists.NMSC provides scholarship ap-

plication materials to semifinal-ists through their high schools.

“I was really surprised whenMr. (Principal Jeff) Spector pre-sented this award to me, and itfeels like a huge honor,” Mooresaid. “I've worked really hard allthrough high school, so it's reallynice to be recognized, especiallyon a national level.”

Seneca’s academically talented

high school seniors will now havethe opportunity to continue in thecompetition for some 7,400 Nation-al Merit Scholarships worth morethan $32 million that will be of-fered next spring.

To be considered for a MeritScholarship award, semifinalistsmust fulfill several requirementsto advance to the finalist level of the competition, or finish in the

top 2.2 percent of all Americans,as Moore pointed out.

Moore was still able to record aremarkably high score on this test

even while dedicating much of her time to being an active mem-ber of the National Honor Society,student government, Girl Scoutsand buddies club.

Along with being recognized fora very high score from the pro-gram, Moore, Medina and Goos re-ceived district-wide recognitionon the LRHSD app and Senecawebsite.

“It’s also something to add tomy college applications!” Moore

said.She plans on majoring in ap-plied mathematics and minoringin economics or finance duringher college days.

Medina plans on going to theUniversity of Texas, Austin, andmajor in mechanical engineeringafter his high school days are up.

Goos could not be reached forcomment.
