    11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to beAware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for SaleSouth Jersey - According to

    industry experts, there

    are over 33 physical problems

    that will come under

    scrutiny during a home in-

    spection when your home

    isfor sale. A new report has

    been prepared which identi-fies the eleven most common

    of these problems, and what

    you should know about them

    before you list your home for

    sale.

    Whether you own an old home

    or a brand new one, there are

    a number of things that can

    fall short of requirements

    during a home inspection. If 

    not identified and dealt with,

    any of these 11 items could

    cost you dearly in terms of re-

    !

     

    pair. That's why it's critical

    that you read this r port be-

    fore you list your home. If 

    you wait until the building

    inspector flags these issues

    for you, you will almost cer-

    tainly experience costly de-

    lays in the close of yourhome sale or, worse, turn

    prospective buyers away al-

    together. In most cases, you

    can make a reasonable pre-

    inspection yourself if you

    know what you're looking

    for, and knowing what you're

    looking for can help you pre-

    vent little problems from

    growing into costly and un-

    manageable ones.

    To help homesellers deal

    with this issue before their

    homes are listed, a free re-

    port entitled "11 Things You

    Need to Know to Pass Your

    Home Inspection" has been

    compiled which explains the

    issues involved.

    f you sit on a school board or mu-

    nicipal governing body, you’re en-

    tering the part of the year that

    probably causes you the most

    headaches. It’s budget time. It’s time to

    do the impossible: provide outstanding

    service for little or no money.

    A few years ago, Gov. Christie madeheadlines –and more than a few ene-

    mies – when he slashed state funding

    and eventually added a 2 percent cap

    on tax hikes.

    Since then, at least some of the

    money has returned. Sometime this

    month, the governor will release state

    funding figures for this year.

    But it’s safe to say that no district or

    town will find itself rolling in dough.

    Governing bodies will continue to face

    decisions that involve reducing or

    holding the line on services and/or

    raising taxes. And we all love more

    taxes, don’t we?

    We already pay the highest property

    taxes in the nation, so why not pay

    more? One bright spot –some would

    say the only bright spot – to come of 

    this is that many governing bodies

    these days have made the budget

    process open to the public.

    “Transparent” is the watchword

    today.

    It’s a smart move to involve the pub-

    lic – everyone from those who want to

    cut taxes to the bone to those who

    would like to see expanded services.

    When the public is invited in, they

    not only see the difficult choices lead-

    ers have to make, but they also feel like

    they have a voice. Leaders are listening

    to them. Their input is valued. While

    not everyone will be happy with everydecision, at least there is a sense of in-

    clusion and “ownership” of the

    process.

    We encourage everyone to get in-

    volved with their local budget process-

    es this year. In most instances, there

    will be hearings. Items will be posted

    online.

    It’s easy to offer your suggestions to

    the people who eventually will make

    the final decision.

    And, chances are, your feedback will

    be appreciated.

    in our opinion

    Budget timeIt’s that time of year a gain w hen tough decisions have to be made

    Get involved

    Think taxes are too high? Think serviceshave been cut too deeply? Now is the timeto make your voice heard. It’s budget sea-son, and most local governing bodies haveways to involve the public in the decision-making process.

    letterS to the editor 

    Support the bond referendumwith yellow ribbon

    As a concerned and passionate Haddon-field resident and parent, I have purchasedyellow bows to give out to anyone who isvoting in favor of passing the bond referen-dum. Our schools are in desperate need of repairs just so they can function properly.

    The reasons for the yellow bow initiativeare simple: show your support and get outthere and vote “yes” on March 8. There areplenty of articles and websites that explainwhy you should vote yes, so there is noneed for me to do so in my letter.

    Please feel free to pick up your yellow

    bow from my doorstep anytime that is con-venient for you, the address is 300 W. EuclidAve., or email at [email protected].

    The bows are free to a good home. Happyvoting!

    Become informed aboutballot question details

    The Haddonfield Board of Education en-courages residents to become informedvoters and to participate in the March 8 ref-erendum, in which the board will seek ap-proval of three questions relating to re-pairs and maintenance at all five schools.

    To help you make an informed decision,the board has developed a website – acces-sible at HaddonfieldBondReferendum.com

     – containing detailed information aboutthe referendum. Also, we are hosting a se-ries of community information meetings,all at 7 p.m. in the elementary school li-

    braries. The next meetings at Tatem will beon Feb. 3 and at Elizabeth Haddon on Feb.10. All residents are encouraged to attend.

    We are all aware that our school build-ings are old. Parts of Lizzy Haddon date to1913, when President Taft was in office – 

    more than 100 years ago. Tatem was builtin 1923 (Coolidge) and Central in 1947 (Tru-man). Our school buildings need constant

    repair and maintenance and, from time totime, major repairs. The board has workedfor more than a year to conduct a compre-hensive expert review of all district build-ings, going well beyond previous visual in-spections to include detailed examinationsinside walls, roofs and crawl spaces. Thosein-depth inspections revealed some struc-tural risks, water leakage, inefficient utili-ties and other issues that are addressed inthe upcoming referendum.

    As noted above, there are three ques-tions on the ballot. In Question 1, the boardis requesting approximately $30 million to

    address primarily infrastructure needs, in-cluding but not limited to replacing corrod-ed steel, repairing deteriorating brick andmortar components, replacing leaky roofs,

    Approximately two-thirds of our classrooms are air-condi-tioned. Question 2A presents the

    opportunity to complete the air-conditioning of all school build-ings. The board is requesting ap-proximately $3.7 million for thisproject. If voters approve Ques-tion 2, we expect that the statewill absorb approximately one-third of that cost as well. Ques-tion 2B covers repairs to the highschool stadium and track, with anestimated cost of approximately$1.4 million; we expect that thestate will absorb about 10 percentof those costs.

    Students, too, reaped the bene-fits of the snow, as HaddonfieldFriends School and HaddonfieldPublic Schools had a two-hourdelay last Monday, allowing forsome time to sleep in.

    Dougherty prepared for thestorm by shopping for somethings just in case. Dylan said hisparents ran out for milk and

    bread, like many of the Internetvideos joke about.“We just made sure to have hot

    chocolate,” Jennifer said.Most everyone spent the first

    day of the storm indoors withfamily, occasionally going out toplay in the snow or shovel whenthings were calm. On Sunday,when it was over, everyone shov-elled and enjoyed the freshly fall-en snow.

    According to Jennifer andDougherty, it took a few hours toshovel, though they did it in

    shifts. They commended the bor-ough and county for getting thesnow cleared off major roads soquickly.

    “I think they did a great job. Alot of snow fell,” Jennifer said.

    Emily and Sophia said their fa-vorite part of the snow was sled-ding, while Dylan enjoyed a goodsnowball fight and sleepover withvideo games. Dougherty andPoulus said their favorite partwas being snowed in and watch-

    ing the kids enjoy the snow.“Being snowed in and havingnothing to do was great, and thenwatching the kids have fun andspend the day outside playing,”Jennifer said.

    The kids screamed with delightat the thought of having anothersnowstorm. However, their par-ents were not so excited.

    “One and done, I’m good,”Dougherty said.

    Bond includes itemsschools do not needIn a few short weeks, we'll be

    voting on the Haddonfield PublicSchools' $35 million school facili-ties bond.

    I was hoping that the bondwould strike a reasonable balancebetween needed school repairsand the capacity of the communi-

    ty to pay. Yet, this bond falls farshort of that goal.

    For starters, there's the $35 mil-lion charge. That's more than theprior three school facilities bonds

    combined.I support projects that are ab-

    solutely essential for our schools.However, there are items includ-ed in this bond that aren't critical,such as the expansion of side-walks and curb cut-outs for stu-dent drop off at all the schools aswell as $1 million in repairs andupgrades including soft costs atthe high school athletic stadiumthat I will not support.

    So where do we go from here?A letter in this paper the otherweek pointed out that the mainprojects in the bond would noteven begin until summer 2017.That leaves the school board timeto ask the voters to pass a smallerbond concentrating on the bestinterests of everyone, includingour students.

    I'm the survivor of manyschool bonds. I've been struck

    each time that school districtsspend so much money on PRfirms that recycle the same pitch-es: "Vote for the bond, and itwon't cost you much; vote against

    the bond, and it will cost youdearly." Truth be told, these bigbonds aren't cheap, and the rejec-tion of a bond has never resultedin state funding drying up or theworld coming to an end.

    What I'm saying is that theschool bond must strike a bal-ance. Citizens will gladly paymore to repair our schools if theschool board first repairs itsbond.

    funding request.The BOE has already moved

    certain items out of its Question 1

    "critical work" list, to not-so-criti-cal Questions 2a and 2b. This wasdone in response to residents'concerns; and it's appreciated.

    Unfortunately (according to

    the BOE's website at this writing),Question 1 still contains itemsthat cannot be regarded as criti-cal or essential, notably windowreplacements not justified by theclaimed energy savings, climatecontrol systems that will not fixthe problem of classrooms beingtoo hot or cold, the paving over of grass medians, certain waterdrainage work and more.

    And the other questions con-tain many nonessentials, like $1million to spruce up the highschool stadium. Is that an essen-tial?

    At this point, the prudent andresponsible thing for voters to dois reject this bond referendum.

    Relatedly, past "bad fixes"abound undeniably in all of theschool buildings. Residents havelong asked if we are getting our

    money’s worth in return for fund-ing maintenance and repair — anobvious question in light of thepoor state of repair at some facili-ties.

    Board and district representa-tives claimed recently that theNew Jersey Comptroller’s Officefound that funds from several pre-vious facilities bonds were spent“properly” and that “everythingchecked out.” Unfortunately, theNew Jersey Comptroller’s Officedid not address the all-importantquestion: Were those funds spentwisely, competently and for workof good quality?

    Rejection of this referendumwill surely inspire the dedicatedstewards of our highly esteemedschool system to regroup a littleand offer up a more essentials-only and quality-work referen-dum. One that we can happilyvote in favor of, hopefully as soonas this coming September. We allwant what is best for our schools.

    of the debt service costs for thisbond referendum; the BOE spentapproximately two years in con-sultation with architects, engi-neers and building project profes-sionals in identifying criticalneeds of the school district’sbuilding infrastructure; andthese building issues go beyondwhat can be addressed throughthe school district’s operatingbudget with mandatory 2 percentcaps.

    “The board believes that thereferendum is reflective of theseidentified critical building con-cerns that need to be addressed,”Perry said.

    The bond total cost is $35.3 mil-lion with an estimated yearly taximpact of $300.49 for the averageassessed home at $484,226. Thereferendum is split into two ques-tions, with the second question

    having a part A and B. Question 1must be approved before Ques-tion 2 for anything on Q2 to suc-ceed.

    Q1 addresses critical needsthat the district says have to beaddressed immediately, includingsteel, brick and mortar compo-nents that keep the buildingsstanding, the roofs from leaking,and the doors and windows func-tioning. Also included are re-placement of inefficient and fail-ing HVAC systems, and replace-ment of outdated communica-tions systems essential for securi-ty.

    The total cost of Q1 is estimat-ed at $30.2 million.

    Q2A addresses air-condition-ing key parts of each school, andBuilding Automation SystemControl to operate utilities withmodern efficiency.

    The total cost of Q2A is esti-mated at $3. 7 million.

    Q2B addresses critical repairsat the high school stadium andtrack. Without those restorations,

    use of the stadium and track willbe significantly restricted, offi-cials said.

    The total cost of Q2B is esti-

    mated at $1.4 million.The vote for the bond referen-

    dum will be on Tuesday, March 8.Voters must be registered by nolater than Feb. 16. Polling hoursare from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Vote bymail is available, and further vot-ing information can be found onthe website.

    new records in the process wouldbe an amazing accomplishment.For Peifer, it’s becoming routine.

    Peifer has been winning com-petitions since her freshman yearand shattering records since hersophomore year. She has wonback-to-back NJSIAA individualdiving championships and islooking to win a third straighttitle this month.

    Peifer’s journey into divingbegan at the age of 7 when shewas swimming at WedgewoodSwim Club. Peifer competed inboth swimming and diving whenshe was younger, but found divingwas her true calling.

    “I started swimming and I waspretty bored,” Peifer said. “So Igravitated toward the divingteam.”

    Peifer also competed in gym-nastics as a child and found a lotof similarities between it and div-

    ing. She also credits her partici-pation in gymnastics to being abig part of how talented she hasbecome as a diver.

    Peifer is part of the CentennialDiving Club, based out of La SalleUniversity. The prestigious divingclub participates in national com-petitions and has been the homefor some of the top high schooldivers in both Pennsylvania andNew Jersey.

    Despite competing in large-scale competitions for Centenni-al, Peifer admits she wasn’t quitesure how good she would be whenshe first stepped on the highschool diving board as a fresh-man in 2014.

    “I wasn’t really sure how I’d dountil I went to the meets,” Peifersaid.

    Peifer turned out to be wayahead of the competition fromthe start. As a freshman, she wonthe 2014 SJISA 6-Dive Champi-onships by more than 80 points,

    coming just 29 points short of thecompetition’s record. At the JimRoach 11-Dive Championships,she again defeated the competi-tion by a large margin, winningby about 70 points over second-place senior Jenna Santora of Mainland Regional High School.

    Peifer’s sophomore year in 2015was when records began to fall.She first broke the Jim Roach 11-Dive Championship record Natal-ie Thomas of Cherokee HighSchool set in 2005. She did even

    better at the state championships,defending her title from freshmanyear with a score of 566.95 andsetting a new state record in theprocess.

    The records have continued to

    fall in 2016, as Peifer finallyeclipsed the 20-year-old record atthe SJISA 6-Dive Championships,

    breaking the mark Cheryl Lemonof Gateway Regional High Schoolset in 1995.

    “It’s great because it shows thegrowth,” Peifer said of therecords. “I practice a lot, so itshows how the work I put in haspaid off.”

    Practice makes perfect forPeifer. Her training regimen in-cludes constantly perfecting thedives she already knows andlearning increasingly harderdives, which have allowed her tocontinually increase her scores.

    “I practice three to five times aweek for two hours of practice,”Peifer said. “I usually try to runthrough a lot of my dives. Newdives, they take awhile to get andmaster. You have to learn it andthen put it in straight.”

    In competitions, judges scoredivers based on the height of adive, how straight it is and theform going into the air. That scoreis then multiplied by a degree of 

    difficulty score given to each dive,which can go up to a 3.0. Peiferperforms dives of high difficultyranging from a 2.2 to a 2.7.

    “It probably takes anywherefrom three months to a year, (tolearn a new dive),” Peifer said.“You can still compete it beforethen, it’s just how well you do it.”

    Peifer believes she has what ittakes to win a third straight statechampionship and hopes to con-tinue her diving success in col-lege after she graduates from

    HMHS in 2017. However, she does-n’t feel pressured to win. Herfocus is to just perform the bestshe can.

    “Whatever happens will hap-pen,” Peifer said.
