well.The 12-year-old Mt. Laurel resi-

dent recently competed in the Na-tional Geography Bee at RowanUniversity, which is part of a na-tion-wide contest sponsored byNational Geographic. Brendanwas one of about 100 contestants

from New Jersey to compete inthe state level of the contest.

A tough question about theChattanooga River stumpedBrendan, knocking him out ofthe running. But, that wasnt be-fore he got pretty far in the con-test. Brendan fielded all kinds of

geographical questions and got tothe final round of the geographybee, placing eighth overall out ofthe top 10 contestants.

To get as far as Brendan got inthe contest, students really haveto know their stuff. Each schoolholds a geography bee and admin-

Time to clean out your medi-cine cabinets, folks.

The Mount Laurel Police De-partment is a collection site forthe National Take Back initiative.Residents will be able to drop off

unused and expired medication.More than 7 million Americans

currently abuse prescriptiondrugs, according to the 2009 Sub-stance Abuse and Mental HealthAdministrations National Sur-vey on Drug Use and Health.Each day, approximately, 2,500teens use prescription drugs toget high for the first time accord-ing to the Partnership for a DrugFree America. Studies show thata majority of abused prescriptiondrugs are obtained from familyand friends, including the homemedicine cabinet.

In an effort to address thisproblem, DEA, in conjunctionwith state and local law enforce-

ment agencies throughout theUnited States, conducted the firstever National Prescription DrugTake Back Day last year. The pur-pose of this National Take Back

Day was to provide a venue forpersons who wanted to dispose ofunwanted and unused prescrip-tion drugs. This effort was a hugesuccess in removing potentiallydangerous prescription drugs,

particularly controlled sub-stances, from our nations medi-cine cabinets. There were approx-imately 3,000 state and local lawenforcement agencies throughoutthe nation that participated in theevent. All told, the American Pub-lic turned in more than 121 tonsof pills on this first National TakeBack Day.

Due to the overwhelming suc-cess of the first event, DEA hasscheduled the second NationalPrescription Drug Take Back Day,which will take place on Saturday,April 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. inthe Mt. Laurel Police Departmentlobby.

This is a great opportunity for

those who missed the first eventor who have subsequently accu-mulated unwanted, unused pre-scription drugs, to safely disposeof them.

always really liked to read it.The winner of this years geog-

raphy bee at the New Jersey levelwas Kevin Pang, a seventh-gradestudent from Stewartsville Mid-dle School. The winner from eachstate goes on to compete in the na-tional competition in May. Eachcontestant is vying for a $25,000college scholarship and the honorof being named the nationalchampion.

tax increase is necessary eventhough the overall budget is de-creasing because of last yearsmulti-million dollar loss in stateaid and a more than $30 millionreduction in total taxable proper-ty across the township over thepast two years due to the econo-my, including tax appeals, closedbusinesses, etc.

Simply put, as the total value oftax ratable properties decreases,every taxing entity in the town-ship has to pay a greater share tosupport the whole.

The proposed budget is $230,605less than the current years budg-et and remains $199,230 below thestate-mandated 2 percent cap thattax levies and appropriations areallowed to rise from one year tothe next.

School officials said the budgetmaintains current educationalprograms and class sizes, but in-cludes a reduction of 16 staffmembers due to retirement or a

decrease in enrollment.The budget also includes cur-

riculum updates required tomaintain compliant and competi-tive programs, capital improve-ments, cooperative purchases inan effort to save costs, and plansto increase district revenuesources through projects likesolar energy investments and busadvertisements.

Already?Presidential politics? Now? Ick

S

eriously. People are talking about running for president?

In April? 2011? We have to start this now? We cant get

more Charlie Sheen/lost snake coverage for at least a fewmore weeks? Just about anything is better than listening to

months of campaign gibberish.

Politicians and other POTUS

wanna-bes usually start off

with a Who, me? kind of false

modesty. Then they announce

theyre thinking about run-

ning. Then they form an ex-

ploratory committee. Then,

like theyre giving us all some kind of early birthday present,

they declare that they, after much soul-searching and at the urg-

ing of millions of working men, women, children and dogs, in-

deed will selflessly, albeit reluctantly and at great personal sac-

rifice, toss their hat into the ring.

Oh, please. The Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary

are months away. Why all the drama now? Yes, we know it takes

a good bit of planning to run a presidential campaign. But

please spare us the soap operas this far in advance of anyone

actually casting a vote.

Were all for spirited debate of the issues at all levels of gov-

ernment. Its democracy in action. Its the way people get their

views across, figure out which candidates to support and, in the

end, with any luck, solve some problems.

Thats honest, responsible campaigning/governing. Useful

stuff. Meaningful stuff. Stuff people can sink their teeth into,

but stuff that usually happens closer to when an election is

about to take place or when no election is approaching and

politicians are doing their jobs you know, governing.

What are we going to be subjected to for the next eight or so

months from these presidential hopefuls? Announcements of

staffing hires and fires? Fund-raising pleas? Photo-ops?

Heres a tip: Regular people dont care about this stuff. At

least not now.
