Obamacare opponents had an “I

told you so” moment last

week, when the nation’s

largest health insurance provider,

UnitedHealthcare, said it plans to exit

most of the Affordable Care Act state

exchanges where it currently operates

by 2017.The company’s reasoning is quite

simple – it is losing money ... a lot of

it. UnitedHealthcare said it lost $475

million in the state exchanges last

year and could lose another $500 mil-

lion this year. It’s tough to blame a

company for not continuing a money-

losing proposition such as this.

Those fighting Obamacare will say

this is an example of why the health-

care law doesn’t work. Obamacare pro-

ponents will say adjustments to the

law – and from insurers – was bound

to happen.

But what everyone seems to over-

look, and may have overlooked from

the beginning, is the problem is two-

fold: We need to fix not only the cost

and availability of health insurancebut that of health care as well.

Case in point: The price of Narcan,

a drug used to revive people who over-

dose on heroin, has soared recently.

The reason? No one is sure, but health

officials find it odd that as the drug is

becoming more prevalent, and more

states are using it, it is suddenly be-

coming more expensive to obtain.

New Jersey made the drug available

to all first responders in 2014, and

since that time, Narcan has been de-

ployed almost 11,000 times in New Jer-

sey.

That’s thousands of lives that were

saved from the drug.

New Jersey isn’t the only state to

make Narcan readily available to first

responders, as more states are jump-

ing on board as the success of it is

touted.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick

changed the state’s regulations to

make Narcan more widely available,

and soon after he did, the price of the

drug doubled in his state – from $15 tomore than $30 per dose, according to

the state’s attorney general.

It’s curious to see the cost increase

so rapidly as the drug gains more foot-

ing. Outsiders who don’t know much

about the industry – ourselves includ-

ed – would say it looks like a business

is taking advantage of a situation to

dramatically increase profits.

Maybe we’re wrong. Maybe there is

a reason that producing the life-saving

drug on a mass scale forces the cost of

doing so to rise substantially.

Or maybe it’s a small sign that the

problem with our country’s health-

care system isn’t just that insurance is

out of whack; maybe health-care

providers need to be looked at as well.

in our opinion

Reform needed on health care, tooFixing only the insurance aspect of health care doesn’t truly solve the problem

pated in Dancing with the CherryHill Stars since its inception in2008. The show itself is based off an episode of the ABC televisionshow, “Dancing with the Stars.” Atheme is selected each year. Eachdancing couple creates a dancerevolving around the theme andperforms it at the show. Thetheme for 2016 is Enchanted.

Pearson said every element of the television show is emulated in

Dancing with the Cherry HillStars, right down to the re-hearsals.

“I like the lengthy rehearsalprocess,” Pearson said. “It’s not

thrown together in two weeks.”This year, Pearson is dancing

with Jon Cohen, a long-timeCherry Hill resident and local

real estate agent. The two werepaired in the winter and beganplanning for their performance acouple months prior to the show.

“We would have an initialmeeting and discuss what songwe agreed on,” Pearson said. “It’sa big deal when you’re dancing toa song and making sure it’s asong you’re both excited about.”

Pearson is the owner of CherryHill Performing Arts Center andhas a background in musical the-

ater. Cohen also performed in the-ater when he attended CherryHill High School West. This is hisfirst time performing in Dancingwith the Cherry Hill Stars.

“I had an idea of what it wasgoing to be,” Cohen said. “But Ithink it was more difficult in thatI haven’t danced in a number of

years.”“Sarah’s great,” he added. “We

rehearse in her studio. I tell her tobe tough on me.”

Cohen joined the Cherry HillEducation Foundation board lastyear after he was looking forways to get more involved in hiscommunity. Cohen lives in theWoodcrest neighborhood of Cher-ry Hill.

“I’ve always had love for theCherry Hill schools,” Cohen said.

“That’s why I talked to (CherryHill Education Foundation presi-dent Eleanor Stofman) about get-

ting involved with the educationfoundation.”

Couples find time to rehearsebetween other work and familycommitments. In the early stagesof rehearsals, couples may onlypractice once a week. The num-ber of practices increases in theweeks leading up to the show.

Some couples receive coachingprior to the show. That is the casethis year for Melissa Benenfeld

and her partner, Anthony Pas-cale. Benenfeld, a local chiroprac-tor and Cherry Hill resident, isparticipating in Dancing with theCherry Hill Stars for the firsttime this year.

“We have a professional danceteacher, Majorie Major fromHappy Feet,” Benenfeld said.“She’s been great. We’ve prac-ticed every week.”

Benenfeld is a big fan of the tel-evision show and was excited tolearn Dancing with the Cherry

Hill Stars was just as fun, eventhough there was a lot of hardwork involved.

“We really had to take it sec-tion by section,” Benenfeld saidabout the dance. “It took weeks tolearn the whole routine.”

Participating in the show goesbeyond just dancing. The dancersthemselves try to sell ads and getsponsors to donate toward theshow. Pearson has sold ads tocompanies for placement in theshow’s program. Cohen got anumber of sponsors and donorsthrough work connections andhad voting for his team promotedon social media.

Benenfeld and Pascale came upwith a unique way to raise money.They created an event called theGarden State Park 5K Run and

Walk to raise money.“It’s an incredible idea as a

fundraiser,” Benenfeld said. “It’sa fun event that draws people.

Pearson believes anyone with aconnection to Cherry Hill PublicSchools should try to donate justa few dollars at the event.

“If you do have a connectionwith the Cherry Hill PublicSchools, it’s so important to un-derstand the things the founda-tion is doing for the schools,” she

said.Cohen said residents shouldtry to donate to the foundation asit has a unique role in the schoolcommunity.

“All of the money we raise goesdirectly to the teachers and thestudents,” he said. “There’s notmany entities like that out there.”

A limited number of ticketswere still on sale for the May 1show, as of press time. Tickets are$25 for adults and $15 for studentsand seniors. Those who do not at-tend the show can still donate tothe foundation and vote for theirfavorite couple at www.cherry-hilleducationfoundation.com.

pate in the Scripps NationalSpelling Bee for the first time.The competition will take placefrom May 24 to May 26.

Shruthika has built an impres-sive spelling bee resume over thepast six years. She has participat-ed in a variety of spelling and vo-cabulary competitions at the re-

gional and national levels.“I love competing in spellingbees because I just love learningall the new words,” Shruthikasaid.

Last year, Shruthika had suc-cess at a couple competitions. Shewas the Grand Champion at Mas-tiSpell, a junior spelling bee forstudents grade four and underfeaturing more than 1,000 com-petitors. In addition, she finishedas the second runner-up in theSouth Asian Spelling Bee New

Jersey regional at Rutgers Uni-versity.

However, Shruthika has neverhad a chance to go to the ScrippsNational Spelling Bee. Manyareas of the United States haveregional competitions typicallysponsored by local media organi-zations. The winners of those re-gional competitions are sent tothe national competition, with

the sponsor helping to cover trav-

el and hotel accommodations andother fees.

However, Camden County doesnot have a regionally-sponsoredcompetition. To remedy this prob-lem, Scripps allowed Bret HarteElementary School to sponsor itsown champion. The top spellersfaced off in a school-wide compe-tition earlier this school year.Shruthika won and earned theright to go to the Scripps NationalSpelling Bee.

“It was really exciting,”Shruthika said of the school com-petition. “The competition wasreally fierce. My friends put up agreat fight. I was really excitedand my teachers were veryhappy.”

One large hurdle facing theHarte champion was paying a$3,450 fee to attend the nationalspelling bee. In the regional com-petitions, the sponsor covers mostof the fee.

For Shruthika to make the trip

to nationals, donors were neededto help pay the fee. A local non-profit, the National Indo Coopera-tive Enterprises, a marketingcompany, Metasense Inc. and tu-toring companies C2Education,Kumon and Mathnasium, all do-nated money to pay for about half of the fee. Shruthika’s parents,Uma Padhy and Sujata Sabat,paid the remainder.

Shruthika did not become a

spelling sensation overnight. Shesaid becoming a solid competitorin spelling bees takes hours of studying. What helps motivateher is the support she gets fromher parents and teachers.

“I practice with them,”Shruthika said. “I practice forabout two hours a day.”

Shruthika said spelling bees gobeyond just learning how to spellwords. Understanding wherewords come from and their defini-

tions is just as important.Another key quality to becom-ing a good spelling bee competitoris being able to think clearlywhile on stage. Being on stagedoesn’t make Shruthika nervous.She prides herself on taking hertime and focusing on each wordas it is presented to her.

Right now, Shruthika is doingextra preparation ahead of thenational competition. She hasbeen going through a copy of Webster's Third New Internation-

al Dictionary, the official diction-ary of the spelling bee.

“I highlight words in there andstudy them,” Shruthika said. “Ialso use flash cards.”

The national spelling beestretches for multiple days andconsists of multiple rounds withmultiple elimination points. Thecompetition will begin on Tues-day, May 24 with a written prelim-inary test. The next day, spellerswill participate in a pair of oralspelling rounds. Spellers with thetop scores advance to the semifi-nals. On the evening of May 25,semifinalists participate in an-other written test. They then ad-vance to a pair of oral rounds onMay 26. After the two semifinaloral rounds, between nine and 12spellers advance to the champi-onship round. The oral rounds of the semifinals are broadcast onESPN2, and the championshipround is broadcast on ESPN.

Shruthika realizes the competi-

tion will be fierce and she will begoing against students from ashigh as eighth grade. However,she is excited just to participateand hopes this year’s trip will be

just the first of many to come.

By JOHN HAPP Special to The Sun

At the 44th annual WoodburyRelays, the Cherry Hill HighSchool East girls’ 4x200 meterrelay team finished second be-hind Rancocas Valley. The Eastrelay team was led by a trio of sophomores Danielle Allen, StarBeasley, Giavanna Roberson andanchored by junior ChelseyJames. Their time of 1:49.66 set a

new school record eclipsing thetime of 1:51.5 set 10 years ago in2006 by Maddie Cattuna, AmandaO’Mara, Tori Rossi and MeghanMarro.

Cherry Hill East also pointedin the distance medley relay andsprint medley relay. In the DMRwere freshman Dani Lazarus(1200m), Allen (400m), juniorsAlexa Happ (800m) and TaeganFields (1600m). The SMR featuredAllen (400m), Beasley (200m), sen-ior Jessica Bryant (200m) and

Happ (800m). Overall in divisionfour, the Cherry Hill East girlsplaced eighth out of 13 teams.

The season opened with twodual meets. The first was an im-pressive home win, 95-35, overWashington Township. In a dualmeet teams are awarded fivepoints for first place; three pointsfor second place and one point forthird place. Bryant won threeevents – the long jump, triple

jump and 100m sprint. SeniorBianca Christophe won twoevents – the 400m intermediatehurdles and the 100m high hur-dles. Beasley pointed in threeevents – the 100m, 200m and wonthe high jump. Allen pointed intwo events – 100m and won the200m. Junior Dayho Colemanpointed in two events – javelin

and won the shot put. SophomoreKiana Hollingsworth pointed inboth the long jump and triple

jump. Cherry Hill East swept anumber of events including thelong jump, 100m, 100m high hur-dles, 200m, 3200m and javelin.

The second dual meet was aheartbreaking, 77-63 loss toLenape, which is annually one of the stronger teams in East’sOlympic Conference division andwhom Cherry Hill East has not

beaten in years. An eight-pointswing and the Cougars could haveended that string. Cherry HillEast had a number of strong per-

formances but won only five of the 15 individual events includingChristophe (100m high hurdles),Bryant (long jump and triple

jump), sophomore Analisa Groble(javelin) and James (high jump).Cherry Hill East also won the4x400m relay, which featuredAllen, senior Jessica Smith,Christophe and Beasley. CherryHill East took second and third ina number of events, including the1600m with two freshmen

Lazarus and Sarah Pierce; 100mwith sophomores Allen andBeasley, and 3200m with Field andPierce.
