    ment on April 27.Marie Reynolds, director of 

    communications for Mt. Laurelschools, said the district did agreat job administering the testacross the board.

    Technology was a big concernentering March for many dis-tricts. The Mt. Laurel School Dis-trict made investments in the lastfew years to upgrade its infra-

    structure and make sure therewas enough technology supportstaff on call to fix any problems.

    Reynolds said there were nomajor issues with the computersduring the test, and wheneverany minor issues arose, they werefixed quickly.

    “We did not have any majorglitches at all,” Reynolds said.“We had a problem with one serv-er during a testing period. Weswitched right to a backup serv-

    er.”Reynolds said the students did

    a great job using the computersas well. The district’s technology-focused curriculum has helpedthe students prepare for the test.

    Two students face charges afteraltercation at Lenape High School

    By MIKE MONOSTRAThe Sun

    An altercation between twostudents at Lenape High Schoolon March 26 has led to chargesagainst a 16-year-old male studentafter he was found to be in posses-sion of a utility knife.

    A 16-year-old male studentfrom the 400 block of Equality

    Court in Mt. Laurel was chargedwith possession of a weapon inan educational institution, tam-pering with evidence and disor-derly conduct after he was discov-ered to be concealing a knife fol-lowing the incident.

    According to police, the distur-bance took place at about 7:08a.m. on March 26 in Lenape’snorth gym. Medford Police saythe 16-year-old got into an alterca-

    tion with another student. The al-tercation was quickly broken upbefore it escalated.

    Following the altercation, wit-nesses told school officials the 16-year-old was possibly in posses-sion of a utility knife during thealtercation. Medford Police werethen asked to investigate the inci-dent.

    “Officers were able to gather

    information after conducting sev-eral interviews with students,”said Arthur Waterman, field op-erations and criminal investiga-tions commander for Medford Po-lice.

    After conducting interviewsand looking at video surveillance,it was discovered the 16-year-oldhad a utility knife on his posses-sion during the altercation.

    “Officers determined that he

    had brought the knife into schoolthat day,” Waterman said.

    The knife remained concealedand was not used during the inci-dent. The 16-year-old was arrestedand charged as a result of the in-vestigation. The other student in-volved in the altercation did notface any charges. Police did notsay why the altercation tookplace.

    A separate incident on March30 related to the March 26 investi-gation led to charges against a 17-year-old male student from the7700 block of Normancy Drive inMt. Laurel.

    Police say a 17-year-old studentapproached and assaulted anotherunidentified student on March 30.

    We seem to often preach how

    important it is to stay local

    for the summertime. And

    that’s because it’s true. The 102 days

    between Memorial Day and Labor Day

    weekends are crucial for the Jersey

    Shore, which, no matter where you

    live in our fine state, has a vital impacton our economy.

    The devastation that was caused by

    Hurricane Sandy seems like a distant

    memory, but some Shore towns are

    still fighting to fully recover. Those

    that have recovered still desperately

    need visitors; they still need our sup-

    port.

    Beach Season 2013, the one immedi-

    ately following Sandy, was not a good

    one. As if rebuilding from Sandy was-

    n’t bad enough, an incredibly wet June

    kept visitors away from the Shore dur-

    ing prime weekends. Sales for storesthat year in the hardest-hit areas were

    off anywhere from 20-40 percent, ac-

    cording to state economic reports. Gov.

    Christie’s office estimated companies

    lost more than $63 million in business

    due to the storm.

    Last year got a little better, but it

    wasn’t back to pre-storm numbers. A

    Tourism Economics report, presented

    by the state Division of Travel and

    Tourism, found that visitors to the

    Shore rose 4.4 percent statewide last

    year, but spending didn’t keep pace, in-

    creasing only 3.7 percent. Direct

    tourism employment fell 1.3 percent,

    the first time it declined since 2010, but

    that was mainly due to hard times in

    Atlantic City.

    So what’s the message here? It’s sim-

    ple: Visit the Shore this summer, visit

    often, and spend money there.New Jersey residents often take our

    coastline for granted, but we should

    realize how lucky we are to have such

    a gem this close to home. So let’s pay it

    back this summer. As hard as it may

    seem to fathom, there are only six

    weeks until the official start of the

    summer beach season, but there is

    still plenty of time to plan your sum-

    mer vacation at the Jersey Shore.

    The beach towns need your support.

    Let’s all dedicate at least part of our

    summer to giving back.

    in our opinion

    Stay local this summerThe message may be old, but it’s worth repeating, even if it is only early April

    the technology. They were veryadept at it.”

    Some of the students partici-pated in a field test last year thathelped the district test its technol-ogy infrastructure and find wayswhere it could improve.

    The field test didn’t only bene-fit the district; it benefitted itsteachers as well. Reynolds saidthe field test allowed teachers to

    get used to the system and helpedalleviate concerns heading intothis year.

    “In terms of technology andwhat we were going to have to do,it really helped,” she said.

    The district also had no prob-lems when it came to students re-fusing the test. In February, thedistrict announced students whorefused to take PARCC would re-main in the classroom with theirpeers and would be permitted todo an alternate activity.

    Reynolds said the district’s pro-cedure has worked very well. She

    added many students who aretaking the tests finished early andcould also do an alternate activity

    for the remainder of the testingperiod.

    During the March board of ed-ucation work session, Superin-tendent Antoinette Rath saidthere have not been any disrup-tions involving students refusingthe test. The district does nothave figures on how many stu-dents participated in the test.

    Reynolds said the district ismaking adjustments for the up-coming testing period so students

    at Hartford School and Harring-ton Middle School will miss lessof their specialized classes thanthey did in March.

    “For some kids, they were tak-ing a standard amount of time forthe tests and then missing a cou-ple days of that specialized class,”Reynolds said.

    The district is continuing toprovide updated information onPARCC and the upcoming end-of-year assessment at its website,www.mtlaurelschools.org/Pro-

    gram/Curriculum--Assessment/index.html.

    him,” Waterman said.Police say the assault was di-rectly connected to the March 26incident. Waterman said the as-sault victim was one of the stu-

    dents police had interviewed fol-lowing the March 26 altercation.

    Both the 16- and 17-year-old sus-pects were charged as juvenilesand are scheduled to appear infamily court for "off the street"hearings. Since both of the stu-

    dents are minors, police are notidentifying the suspects.Waterman said there were no

    “I think people should come be-cause we as people need an outlet.Sometimes life is tough, and weneed to express ourselves. For me,this is a celebration, and I’m

    inviting everyone. Come to myparty, we’re going to laugh and just for us to have fun and enjoyeach other’s company,” Chamberssaid.

    Chambers always had a lovefor music, growing up in a musi-cal family. She was bor n to San-dra Person-Pratt of the doo-wopgroup “The Orlons” and RolandChambers III, a famous song-writer and producer at Philadel-phia Sound/Philadelphia Inter-national Records. In and out of 

    her house were famous musi-cians such as Patti LaBelle andB.B. King from her father’s work.

    However, Chambers wanted todo more with her life; she wanted

    to use her triple threat talent andget on Broadway. At the age of 19,Chambers achieved her goal andperformed in various shows andwith various groups all across theworld in places such as Japan,Germany and Switzerland.

    She did that for years until 14years ago when she moved backto the area to raise a family. Sincethen, she got involved behind thescenes by choreographing shows,such as with the Haddonfield

    Plays and Players, directing com-mercials and offering private les-sons to local students. She wasalso on a television show called“The Moment” on the U.S.A. Net-work two years ago.

    But before that, 12 years ago inMay, her father passed away fromlung and liver cancer. During histime in the entertainment busi-ness, he had taken to the darkerside of the business with drugsand alcohol, and it had caught upwith him.

    While he was sick, Chamberswrote the first act of “Genre,”telling the story of growing up inthe music business, her father,how he was affected by the busi-

    ness, and her story of avoidingsuch temptations and her successin her own musical way. She per-formed that act in her local areatwo years after his death.

    “Even though it was painful, itwas cleansing. I needed closure,and this was the only way to get itout, by being creative and artis-tic,” Chambers said.

    Now, 10 years later, Chambershas written the second act of “Genre” and will be performing it

    in Haddonfield. The second partof her story begins with her fa-ther’s burial and from there howshe has gone on as a wife, motherand performing arts educator.

    As an educator, Chambers, alsoknown as “mama,” wants to pro-vide her audience with “edu-tain-ment,” what Chambers calls acombination of education and en-tertainment she likes to use forher performances. She wants toprovide entertainment, but alsoeducate all involved individuals,

    both performers and audiencemembers. For “Genre,” Cham-bers hopes the audience takesaway that they can follow theirdreams, but they need to be re-sponsible.

    “I want them to know that nomatter how old they are, never tostop dreaming and keep movingforward no matter how hard lifegets,” Chambers said.

    Chambers invites everyone of all ages to come see “Genre.”There will be music in everygenre from pop to jazz to Broad-way, tap dancing, singing, actingand a “cool surprise.”

    “This is one way to tell mystory, through live entertainment.I hope I touch someone throughmy story,” Chambers said.
