    Spring conditions favorable for forest firesBy SHANNON CAULFIELD

    The Tabernacle Sun

    One of the biggest misconcep-tions about forest fires is the timeof year they burn.

    Fires burn and spread in thespring and fall due to low humidi-ty, according to Section ForestFire Warden Tom Gerber.

    The conditions in the monthsof March, April and May are themost favorable for forest fires, ac-cording to Gerber.

    High winds are most con-ducive to forest fires in thespring. The sun shines this timeof the year directly down on theleaves and needle litter, Gerbersaid. Everything hasnt leafedout yet and that dries out.

    According to Gerber, if thearea receives an inch of rain, con-ditions could still be high the nextday due to the sun drying the areaand high winds.

    If we have multiple days ofdecent drying, the spotty showerscan make it moderate, but it couldbe high fire danger by the after-

    noon, said Forest Fire Observer

    SHANNON CAULFIELD/The Tabernacle Sun

    Forest Fire Observer Ben Brick oversees the area as the eyes in the sky. The forest fire lookout tower stands 141 feet high in Medford Lakeson Stokes Road. The tower was built after World War II and works in conjunction with surrounding towers, including Apple Pie Hill in Taberna-cle.

    Sheriffseeks grant

    for safetyprograms

    Burlington County SheriffJean Stanfield is seeking $321,000in grant funding to support threecounty safety programs.

    The funding, from the state Di-vision of Highway Traffic Safety,

    will expand Stanfields Child Pas-senger Safety Program, Pedestri-an Safety Program, and Compre-hensive Traffic Safety Program.

    The safety of BurlingtonCounty residents is our top prior-ity, Stanfield said. These proj-ects combine education withtough multi-jurisdictional en-forcement. We anticipate that thiswill have a significant impact ontraffic safety in our county.

    A total of $26,000 has been re-quested for the next year that

    runs from Oct. 1, through Sept. 30,2014.

    This will enable Stanfield toprovide 20 child safety seatevents, 30 education programs,and purchase additional childsafety seats.

    The Pedestrian Safety Pro-gram is new this year.

    Stanfield is requesting $30,000for a countywide pedestrian en-forcement project that will beginon July 1 and run through June

    30, 2014.Pedestrian fatalities in thecounty rose significantly during2012, and there have already beenseveral pedestrian fatalities at thestart of 2013.

    This project will use a three-prong approach of education, en-forcement, and engineering to ad-dress the important issue ofpedestrian safety, said Stanfield.

    For more information aboutthe various programs and servic-es provided by Burlington County

    Sheriff Jean Stanfield, visit thecounty website atwww.co.burlington.nj.us or call609-265-5128.

    Money is always an issue.

    Families are constantly

    pinching pennies, looking

    for ways to reduce expenses. School

    districts and municipal governments

    are doing the same, hoping to help

    lower, or at least stabilize, the amount

    of tax money they require to live intown.

    The challenge has always been, and

    will continue to be, how these entities

    can control costs while still providing

    high-quality services that their resi-

    dents demand. The state of New Jersey

    certainly isnt helping much through

    aid, and its unlikely that will change

    any time soon.

    So the onus is on the local municipal

    governments and school districts to get

    creative: Not only what can be cut from

    expenses, but what can be added to rev-

    enues.

    For awhile now, the idea of private

    sponsorship of public facilities has

    been tossed around. Selling banners to

    local businesses at Little League fields,

    or having that business sponsor a

    youth sports team has been the norm

    for quite some time. And no one seems

    to have a problem with that.

    But throw in the possibility of sell-

    ing naming rights at a field or, worse

    even, a building or complex, and excep-

    tions start to arise. When is enough

    enough? the detractors ask. Does

    everything need to be sold?

    We agree that there is a fine line be-

    tween tasteful, effective sponsorship

    and over-the-line, banner-on-every-

    inch-of-the-field advertising. Think

    Major League 2 here (for all you

    sports movie fans).

    Moorestown Township recently ap-

    proved an ordinance on first reading

    that, if passed, would establish an offi-

    cial sponsorship program. Officials

    say that the program would increase

    township revenues and help with im-

    provements and maintenance of recre-

    ational fields.

    Annual banner and sponsorship op-

    portunities will be available, with nam-ing rights being offered as five- or 10-

    year deals, with minimum bids of

    $5,000 and $35,000, respectively. To en-

    sure proper material, businesses wont

    be allowed to advertise the sale of alco-

    hol, tobacco, adult-oriented material or

    other items not consistent with pro-

    moting the youth sports program and

    the positive image of the township.

    We applaud Moorestown Township

    for its work in this regard, and we urge

    other townships to follow suit.

    If done correctly, sponsorships and

    naming rights can provide a huge in-

    flux of cash to youth sports leagues, to

    school districts and to municipal gov-

    ernments.

    This field brought to you by...Its time for governments, schools to utilize sponsorships at fields, buildings

    Too much advertising?

    Do you agree that sponsorship is a goodidea? Or do you think that enough isenough? Let us know your thoughtsthrough a letter to the editor.

    Official: TAA insurancedidnt impact tax hike

    By SHANNON CAULFIELDThe Tabernacle Sun

    Tabernacle Athletic Associa-tion President Lynn Hedden as-sured residents that the town-ships tax increase included in themunicipal budget has nothing todo with insuring the TAA.

    At the April 22 township com-mittee meeting, Hedden respond-ed to questions during publiccomment by reading a written

    statement, according to MayorStephen Lee. Recently, a residentquestioned the financial report-ing requirements practices of thetownship and the TAA, its effecton the budget and the recent taxlevy increase approved by thetownship.

    I can make this statementwithout hesitation because, asIm sure everyone on the commit-tee is aware, the cost of insuringTAA has fallen precipitously forseven of the past eight years, and

    the $4,303 premium for 2012 is lessthan half of what it cost in 2005,Hedden said in the release.

    According to the release, the

    TAAs bank balance was alsoquestioned.

    The TAA assumed it was theMarch statement in question,which included money from reg-istration, making the accountsflush with cash prior to payinguniform, equipment and umpirebills. This depletes the accountsquickly, Hedden noted.

    Additionally, the TAA is re-sponsible for working with thetownship on the new snack stand

    being constructed at the PattyBowker Complex through a$250,000 grant provided by thecounty, at no cost to Tabernacletaxpayers, according to the re-lease.

    According to Hedden, theTAAs scholarship practices cameinto question as well.

    We give three, not two annualscholarships and our 2013 contri-bution is $3,500. With supportfrom a generous communitymember, our scholarships this

    year will total $4,000, Heddensaid. This aspect of our organi-

    Ben Brick, who watches theforested areas of Marlton, Med-ford, Shamong and Tabernacle.He is stationed at the tower inMedford Lakes off Stokes Road.

    According to Gerber, the areahas been deemed a WildlandUrban Interface, due to residentsintegrated in a densely woodedarea.

    Were the eyes in the sky foreveryone on the ground, Brick

    said.The Medford Lakes tower wasconstructed in 1948 after WorldWar II and stands 141 feet tall, ac-cording to Gerber.

    Gerber oversees Division Bwith towers at Apple Pie Hill inTabernacle, three stations in Bat-sto, the Cedar Bridge Station,Jamesburg, Lakewood, Lebanonand Medford.

    According to Brick, the towersstay in constant contact, especial-ly when a forest fire is burning.

    When Brick identifies smoke,he looks into the sight glass topinpoint its approximate locationon a round map of the area with astring, providing him with a coor-dinate.

    Hopefully, another tower cansee the smoke, and theyll gettheir degree, and well line it upto pinpoint where it is, Bricksaid.

    After receiving the sight loca-tions by radio from two of thenearest towers, Brick uses az-imuth circles, a navigational tool

    with strings located in the centerof the circle along a map, to trian-gulate where the fire is located.

    According to Gerber, the sys-tem is accurate up to a few yards.

    There are newer systems thatprobably wouldnt work as well.Theyre usually infrared or digi-tal cameras that probably would-nt be as good as if the person wasdoing it for you, Gerber said.Its an old tried and true sys-tem.

    Once the fire is called in, threetrucks that can hold up to 500 gal-lons of water each, equipment forthe firefighters and a bulldozerare dispatched to the scene.

    As of April 8, the state ForestFire Service has responded to 230wildfires that burned 293 acres,compared with 461 fires that

    burned 1,994 acres during thesame period last year, accordingto a release.

    Over the weekend of April 5, 42

    wildfires were reported acrossNew Jersey, burning 182 acres.The largest section that burnedwas in an extremely remote 150acres of Wharton State Forest inBurlington County. According tothe release, the state is still inves-tigating the cause of the fire.

    Brick checks the weather twotimes a day, taking into considera-tion the level of humidity andwind. The information deter-mines if the day is low, moderate,

    high, very high or extreme wild-fire danger levels.According to Gerber, fires can

    start for a number of reasons, in-cluding hot carbon from a brakeshoe, burning leaves in the back-yard, people intentionally settingfires, cigarettes and kids playingwith matches.

    TAA reducescost of insurance

    zation is not new. Its written intoour bylaws dating back to 1975and identified as being of key im-portance to the TAA organiza-tion.

    It would be a gross mischar-acterization to allege that TAA is

    operating in anything other thanthe best interest of the townshipor that the township has beensomehow lax in its duties.

    According to the release, theTAA has worked with the town-ship and the TAAs insuranceproviders to identify steps to re-duce the cost of insurance.

    Additionally, the associationhas instituted mandatory back-

    ground checks, concussion train-ing, and safety and liability train-ing for all coaches.

    This not only means a 50 per-cent savings to the taxpayer butalso ensures that our kids aresafer, our coaches are better andour programs are stronger, Hed-den said. TAA will continue toprovide an organization, which isnot only responsible to the com-munity but is something of

    which everyone in our communi-ty can continue to be veryproud.

    TAA has satisfied the Taber-nacle Township reporting re-quirements through 2012, Leesaid.

    The next meeting will be heldMay 28 at the Town Hall Munici-pal Building, located at 163 Car-ranza Road.
