The Word on the Street
Halloween draws nigh,
so it’s time to decide
on a costume.
haddonfield.today | 3
What was your favorite,
as a kid? Or what costume
do you wish you had been
able to wear?
SONNY GOLDFIN
of Blackwood would
love to have dressed
as The Man from
Glad. “I liked his
all-white costume,”
Sonny says. “A
superhero for purity
and cleanliness.”
As a ten-year-old in
Scranton, CATHIE
MCGEEHAN of
Haddonfield was
fascinated by the
exotically dressed
lady who sold
huckleberries doorto-door.
“That year, I
dressed as a gypsy.”
Haddonfield’s
MARIA GORSHIN:
“When I was about
nine, I dressed as a
flamenco dancer.
My mother had all
the components:
red-and-black skirt,
castanets, combs,
shawl, and fan.”
“I really wanted to
dress as Zorro,” says
NICK NICOLAY of
Haddonfield, “with
a mask, cape, sword,
and sombrero.” But
all his folks came
up with was a black
cape and a bayonet.
“I carved Zs in trees.”
As a ten-year-old,
VINCENT BELLIZIA
dressed as an FDA
inspector. “When a
homeowner opened
their door, I insisted
on inspecting their
candy to make sure it
was FDA-approved,”
he says. “I wore my
dad’s fedora, with
fake business cards
in the band.”
DEBBIE PECK, coowner
of Melange
Boutique, wishes she
could have dressed
“in the Cruella de
Ville costume I made
for my daughter,
Courtney, when she
was in first grade.
We both loved ‘101
Dalmations’ – still
do. It was a terrific
costume.”

Let’s hear it for Haddyween!
OpenSouthJersey.com is publicizing a number of activities in Haddonfield
related to Halloween. Locally, the site has branded the initiative, “Haddyween.”
Details on two scavenger hunts may be found on the website – one
sponsored by the Historical Society and the other by The Allison Nagle Team at
RE/MAX One. Scavenger hunt cards are available to diners at The Bistro, on the
corner of Kings Hwy and Tanner.
Families are being encouraged to create scarecrows for their front yards.
Information about getting the ingredients may be found on the website, along
with details of a planned townwide scarecrow walk.
Between Fri Oct 16 and Sun Nov 1, downtown shoppers can vote for their
favorite Haddyween window displays. One lucky shopper will win a Trick-or-
Treat bag of gift cards contributed by participating businesses. The business
that gets the most votes will win free advertising in Haddonfield Today, sponsor
of the contest.
The Happy Hippo
has a wide variety of
dinosaur-themed toys,
and there may even
be an appearance by a
friendly dinosaur on the
corner of Kings Highway
and Haddon Avenue.
Visit Inkwood Books for
dinosaur and Halloweenthemed
reading fun.
DiBartolo’s new
European-style pâtisserie
will be baking up
something special – stay
tuned!
Photo opportunities
for families by the
bronze sculpture will
be available, including a
guest appearance from
the artist himself, John
Giannotti. At 11am on
Sat Oct 31, he will talk
about the process of
creating the sculpture.
King’s Road Brewery
will feature a Haddythemed
beer for the
occasion – “Hadrosaur
Hop Giant.” It will be
released on Sat Oct 31.
Then, when the sun goes
down, King’s Road will
screen Jurassic Park on
the outside wall of their
beer garden (weather
permitting).
All across town, thru
Sat Oct 31, Haddonfield
residents and visitors
can enjoy the spirit of
the holiday with these
and other Haddyween
happenings.

Bancroft update
The Borough released the following statement with respect to the Bancroft
property on Wed Oct 13.
The Board of Commissioners has spent several months communicating with
Two Hopkins Lane Urban Renewal, LLC (“2HL”), the designated redeveloper of
the Bancroft site, in an effort to spur the productive re-use of the Bancroft site.
2HL has recently submitted site plans for the Bancroft site, seeking approvals
to construct a proposed redevelopment project consistent with the terms of
the redevelopment plan and redevelopment agreement between the Borough
and 2HL.
The filed site plans (the “2HL Plans”), which are on file within the Community
Development Office, are nearly identical to those submitted in 2019. The 2HL
Plans will be made public on the Borough website once deemed complete
in accordance with applicable land use laws, and may also be obtained by
residents via request pursuant to the Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”).
Importantly, the 2HL Plans will be subject to multiple public hearings. The 2HL
Plans were already under review by the Historic Preservation Commission
(“HPC”) back in 2019, when the review process was halted due to litigation.
HPC will now convene a sub-committee to re-examine the 2HL Plans this fall.
After appearing before HPC and receiving their Certificate of Appropriateness
from the Planning Board (“PB”), 2HL will then apply to the PB for site plan and
subdivision approvals. The Borough anticipates that the Planning Board will
hear the 2HL Plans during the fourth quarter of 2020.
As always, the Board of Commissioners will continue to pursue the
productive re-use of the Bancroft site in a manner beneficial to the residents of
the Borough, and will provide regular updates to the public moving forward.

Plan” may be accessed here: bit.ly/2HcOAIn n.

Poinsettia
plants for sale
The COVID-19
pandemic has caused
the Evening Membership
Department of The
Haddon Fortnightly to
cancel all of its usual
fund-raisers and all
rentals of its building.
The costs to maintain
the club’s building (on
the corner of Kings Hwy
and Grove) are steep,
and charitable giving has
been sharply curtailed.
So ... poinsettias to the
rescue!
The EMD is inviting
area residents to help
it meet its fund-raising
goals by purchasing
poinsettia plants for the
holiday season.
The plants, in 7.5”
pots, are top quality and
contain 6 to 12 blooms.
The cost is $15 per pot.
A variety of colors is
available: red, white,
pink, burgundy, jingle
bells (red with white
spatters,) and Christmas
Beauty Princess (shades
of pink.)

A Frog Race?
New Year’s Eve 1897:
Bicycle riders raced
through Haddonfield to
try to catch a leader who
happened to be wearing
... a large, inflatable frog
costume.
The organizer of the
1897 race – and the
rider wearing the frog
costume – was G. L. Carr,
a clerk for the druggist
C. S. Braddock Jr., at 201
East Main Street (now
Kings Highway).
Newspapers around
the country ran articles
about the 11-mile race.
Inspired by these
reports, the Historical
Society has decided
to host a virtual
Haddonfield Frog Race
and is challenging
participants to complete
11 miles biking, running,
walking, or even
swimming, before Sun
Nov 15. It’s a fun, familyfriendly
diversion. Frog
costumes optional!
Registration for this
fundraising event is
$25 for ages 13 and up,
and $20 for ages 12 and
under. The first 100
registrants will get a free
tee-shirt with an image
of the original frogcostumed
bike rider. All
who submit completed
race forms before
Nov 15 will be entered
to win four tickets to the
Philadelphia Zoo.
The 2020 version of
the Haddonfield Frog
Race is virtual, of course
– inside or outside, fast
or slow, in one outing or
100 – and participants
must follow COVID-19
health guidelines and
safety regulations.

In the October 6 issue of Haddonfield Today, we
reported that as of Wed Sep 30, the Camden County
Department of Health had confirmed 116 cases of
the novel coronavirus COVID-19 for Haddonfield
residents – 64 males and 52 females, and five
fatalities.
As of Thu Oct 15, the number of cases had risen
to 130 – 71 males and 59 females (including one
High School student). The number of fatalities
remained unchanged.
By decade, the most cases to date fall in the 20s
– 17 males and 14 females, a total of 31. Next, the
10s – 9 males and 15 females, a total of 24.
The uptick that Haddonfield has seen in the past
seven days – 11 new cases – is consistent with
trends in New Jersey and nationwide.
The 973 new cases reported in New Jersey on Thu
Oct 15 marks the third straight day with a number
higher than 900; hospitalizations topped 700 for the
first time in two months.
On Wed Oct 14, nearly 60,000 new cases were
reported nationwide – up 16 % from the previous
week.
In commenting on these trends on Thu Oct 15,
Camden County Freeholder Director Lou Cappelli Jr
said: “We are seeing spiking cases not only at home
but across the country and other parts of the world.
Public health experts have linked the rise at least in
part to the increasing number of small gatherings
indoors. I know it is not easy to go without seeing
friends and family for extended periods of time, but
we have to do everything we can to stop the spread
of COVID-19. Please continue to wear a mask, social
distance, and take all necessary steps to minimize
the chance that you could spread or contract this
virus.”
The current age/gender stats for Haddonfield are:
• <10 – 2 (1 male, 1 female)
• 10s – 24 (9 males, 15 females)
• 20s – 31 (17 males, 14 females)
• 30s – 15 (7 males, 8 females)
• 40s – 15 (8 males, 7 females)
• 50s – 18 (15 males, 3 females)
• 60s – 7 (2 males, 5 females)
• 70s – 6 (males)

• 90s – 1 (female)
• Unknown ages – 7 (6 males, 1 female)
• Total – 130 (71 males, 59 females)
Comparison (using 2010 Census):

Memo: Local Real Estate Agents
From: David Hunter / Publisher, Haddonfield Today
Date: October 2020
It’s true: Nearly 90% of buyers use some sort of online
resource during their house hunt. 1 So you absolutely
must include online in your marketing toolkit.
However, newspapers give you
credibility. 2 And that really
counts, especially in your
incredibly competitive world.
Why do so many local
businesses – including Realtors
– advertise so consistently in Haddonfield Today?
Because it works. And why does it work? Because
readers trust it. That trust will rub off on you!
Let’s talk! Call or text me
today, at 856-428-3399.

Virtual concert
Haddonfield United
Methodist Church will
host the Mi Wha Lee
Memorial Sanctuary
Organ Recital, featuring
organist Matt Smith, on
Sat Nov 14.
The virtual concert
may be viewed on
the church’s website:
haddonfieldumc.org.
A second concert is
planned for Sun Dec 13.
Trick. No treat.
In light of the fact that
the number of reported
cases of COVID-19 has
been increasing in recent
days – nationwide,
in New Jersey, and
in Haddonfield – the
Borough Commissioners
are strongly urging
residents to refrain from
trick-or-treating and
hosting large gatherings
this year.
The Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention have
identified trick-ortreating
as a high-risk
activity and the NJ
Department of Health
has issues guidance
highlighting alternatives
to traditional trick-ortreating
so as to prevent
the spread of COVID-19.
The Borough is urging
residents and visitors
to “Celebrate Halloween
on the Highway,” and
is planning to display
bales of hay, luminaria,
painted pumpkins, jack
o’lanterns during the
week prior to Sat Oct 31.
“We hope everyone
understands that this
is to safeguard not
only the children who
participate in these
activities, but also our
entire community,” the
Commissioners wrote in
a posting on the Borough
website.

A new memorial marker
The Haddonfield Garden Club will dedicate a Blue
Star Memorial Highway Marker at 1pm on Veterans
Day – Wed Nov 11 – rain or shine. The marker is
located on the sidewalk in front of the Borough Hall.
The Blue Star Memorial Program began in 1944
with the NJ Council of Garden Clubs planting 8,000
dogwood trees dedicated to World War II veterans.
The National Council of State Garden Clubs
adopted the program, named for the blue star in the
service flag, which hung in windows of homes and
businesses to honor service men and women. In
time, the program extended to highway markers, to
recognize all who had served in the U.S. military.

A REALLY BAD BUG HAS INVADED OUR AREA
The Spotted Lanternfly causes serious damage in trees
including oozing sap, wilting, leaf curling, and tree dieback. Also,
when spotted lanternflies feed, they excrete a sugary substance
(“honeydew”) that encourages the growth of black sooty mold.
It’s harmless to people, but it causes damage to plants and can
coat decks and play equipment. ALSO, the Spotted Lanternfly
is a HUGE threat to New Jersey’s agriculture industry.
In the fall, these bugs will lay egg masses with 30 to 50 eggs
each. They are called bad bugs for a reason. If you see a
Spotted Lanternfly, email SLF-plantindustry@ag.nj.gov or call
1-833-223-2840 (BAD-BUG-0).
What else? Kill it! Squash it, smash it ... just get rid of it.
Your BEST DEFENSE is to CALL US FIRST! We can treat for
Spotted Lanternfly, in advance.

The Last Word
#082 • OCTOBER 16 TO 30, 2020
To hire, or not to hire?
That is the question.
By David Hunter
To hire, or not to hire?
That is the obvious question employers ask themselves about the leading candidate
every time they seek to fill a vacant position. Oftentimes, the answer is indicated not
so much by how well the applicant did in interviews and on tests, as by an assessment
of the prospective employee’s character.
Character counts.
That’s why, when you roam the halls of schools across the country, you’ll see
posters with those words in common areas, classrooms, and libraries. Educators
in Haddonfield and around the world know they “cannot just sit back and hope our
children and young people will grow up to become caring, respectful, responsible, and
decent human beings.” [Gary Smit, a retired superintendent of schools in Illinois, on
charactercounts.org n.] Core values and desired character traits can be taught, and
“we can nurture the qualities that enhance ... moral growth and development.”
Created in 1992 by the Josephson Institute of Ethics at Drake University (Des
Moines IA), Character Counts! is a comprehensive student development program
embracing academic, social, and
emotional skills and traits, as well
as the Six Pillars of Character:
trustworthiness, respect,
responsibility, fairness, caring,
and citizenship. It claims to be the
largest character development
organization in the world.
The eight guiding principles for
Character Counts! remain profound
and pertinent nearly 30 years after
they were written:
October 18 to 24, 2020
1. The next generation will be the stewards of our communities, nation and planet
in extraordinarily critical times.
2. In such times, the well-being of our society requires an involved, caring citizenry
with good moral character.
3. People do not automatically develop good moral character; therefore,
conscientious efforts must be made to help young people develop the values and
abilities necessary for moral decision making and conduct.
4. Effective character education is based on core ethical values rooted in
democratic society, in particular, respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, justice and
fairness, caring and civic virtue and citizenship.
5. These core ethical values transcend cultural, religious and socioeconomic
differences.
6. Character education is, first and foremost, an obligation of families and faith
communities, but schools and youth-service organizations also have a responsibility
to help develop the character of young people.
7. These responsibilities are best achieved when these groups work in concert.
8. The character and conduct of our youth reflect the character and conduct of
society; therefore, every adult has the responsibility to teach and model the core
ethical values and every social institution has the responsibility to promote the
development of good character.
As millions of Americans head to post offices, secure drop-boxes, and polling places
to cast ballots in the 2020 presidential election, I hope they will think of themselves as
employers. I hope they will put the candidates’ resumes aside, and make “character”
the key criterion in their decision to hire, or not to hire.
I’d like Democrats to ask themselves, “If Joe Biden were a Republican, would I vote
for him?” And Republicans to ask, “If Donald Trump were a Democrat, would I vote for
him?” Those questions put the focus on character. Ultimately, that’s what counts.
