ohnsons Corner Farm recently opened its doorsfor the spring season, serving as a destinationfarm.
I think youll find with any farm, either a des-tination farm like Johnsons or a working farm,that winter is a gray season, manager Marcia
Mondelli said, referring to the farm as an agritainmentlocation. Spring is a promising time for farmers, theircrops will begin to turn shades of green.
The farm opened on March 14, better known as Pi Day,with pies baked with fruit preserved from last season.
Currently, owners Eric and Pete Johnson are preparingthe fields and orchards for the first buds of the season.
Its too early to predict the type of season the Johnsonswill have.
Not much has begun to grow yet, Eric said. Werestill in preparation and waiting for the weather to turn.
Last season, a late May frost destroyed 30 percent of thestrawberry crop, according to Pete.
Spring was so early last year, we were starting to seebuds this time last year. Well be seeing our first blooms ina couple weeks, Pete said, noting this season is more nor-
mal.According to Mondelli, greenhouses are utilized offsite
to begin production of the crops.New Jerseys sand composition is conducive for the vari-
ous types of crops yielded each season.Johnsons 100 acres of crops are sewn in a sandy loam
composition.The multiple crops managed by the farm include,
spinach, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, peaches, nec-

Strawberry fields border the Johnsons Corner Farm homestead and orchard.The crop is one of the first to bud and be picked each season. Last year, a lateMay frost destroyed 30 percent of the crop, according to co-owner Eric John-
son. This year, the farmers hope to yield a more successful crop.

Medford, NJ The SJ
Junior Tour is offering a
team sports approach to
golf in South Jersey this
Spring through PGA Jun-
ior League Golf. PGA Jun-
ior League Golf brings
juniors into the game in
an exciting new way, fos-
tering a sense of sports-
manship and teamwork
typically associated withother recreational team
sports. Teams consist of
youngsters ages 9 to 13,
with no previous playing
experience required.
Much like other recre-
ational league sports,
PGA Junior League Golf
participants receive team
uniforms with jersey
numbers. Rosters are co-
ed with competitions
being two-person scram-
bles, which reinforces the
team concept and limits
the pressure on any one
player. Coaches can sub-
stitute players every three
holes so all of the 10 to 12
golfers on each team can
participate.Teams play regular sea-
son matches throughout
the first part of the season
before convening for city,
sectional and regional
championships. Each re-
gional champion, along
with the host region team,
advance to a national
championship held in the
fall.
We are excited to cre-
ate a PGA Junior Golf
League for our local jun-
ior golfers, said Brad
Hare, PGA Professional.
It allows us to introduce
the game of golf to young
boys and girls in a fun,
team-oriented setting and
enhances the experience
of competitive golf with
juniors. This program
will have a big impact on
junior golf in our area.
The PGA of Americabrought the team golf
concept to select facilities
across the country in
2012. More than 1,800
young golfers competed
on more than 120 teams in
22 markets throughout
June and July. Modeled
after Little League Base-
ball, PGA Junior League
Golf introduces children
to the game of golf in a
team setting. Parents also
play an active role, mak-
ing the program a family
activity to create another
generation of players to
enjoy the game.
Parents interested in
registering their children
for PGA Junior LeagueGolf or finding out more

program can contact Brad

Its very well drained: toomuch water is worse than notenough. If we get a big rain, 24-
hours later, were fine, Pete said.The harvest is sold in the coun-
try store. Additionally, the prod-ucts are pick-your-own.
The farm utilizes outsourcingfor products from farms in SouthJersey.
The Johnsons maintain rela-tionships with area farmers topurchase fruit or vegetables theymay otherwise not have during
different times of the season.Johnsons grows its own blue-
berries, however the farm is pick-your-own. When the farm is inneed and there is no surplus, theJohnsons acquire more throughHammonton farms.
Additionally, honey sold at thefarm is pollinated on the propertyand in the surrounding area. Bee-keepers then process the result
offsite in Long Branch.For it to be considered local,
the bees need to pollinate an areaof a 25-mile radius, so its a blendfrom this area, manager DonnaCapri said.
Eric and Pete aim to constantlybe Jersey Fresh to better servethe area with local products.
We cant grow it all, so wemake connections with farmers
within 40 miles of us. So, if wedont have something, we can goand pick it up the day its picked,Eric said.
The Johnsons have noticed apositive attitude when it comes tosupporting the farm and localproducts from the region.
Were well positioned to offer-ing the farm experience. Peopleare more into it now than they
were 20 years ago, as far as get-ting fresh and getting local, Ericsaid.

Its hard to believe that three
months have passed since the
tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary
School in Newtown, Conn. It was a hor-
rific day in our nations history, a day
that seemed to get worse by the minute
as more details surfaced about what
exactly happened, and how many liveswere lost.
The death of 20 children and six edu-
cators at the hands of a madman
raised questions of community, gun
control and school security. Should we
be doing more to protect our children?
If we cant feel safe when we leave
them at school, where can we feel safe?
Last week, Janet Robinson, the
school superintendent in the Newtown
school district, spoke to more than 200
state school administrators at the New
Jersey Association of School Adminis-
trators School Security Conference on
the topic.
Robinsons keynote address was
closed to the public, but in a follow-up
press conference, she made one strik-
ing statement:
There isnt a lot we could have done
differently.
Sadly, shes right. Stricter gun laws
wouldnt necessarily have prevented
the tragedy. Better mental health sup-
port wouldnt necessarily have stopped
the gunman. Tighter security wouldnt
necessarily have saved the lost lives.
As school districts in our area are fi-
nalizing 2013-2014 budgets, and as
school administration teams are evalu-
ating security measures, its important
to remember that, sometimes, theres
just not much we can do.
Schools should do everything in
their power to provide the best possible
security at the best possible cost. Tech-
nological advances provide our district
with a terrific opportunity to enhance
security in an all-encompassing, cost-
effective way.
But districts need to increase securi-
ty with the students psyches in mind.
What message are we sending if we re-quire metal detectors, security escorts
and full-body searches for everyone
who enters a school building?
Robinson warned against just that
last week when she said: I think as a
reaction, people do overreach. They
want too many guarantees. They want
to turn our schools into fortresses.
The tragedy at Sandy Hook Elemen-
tary should not be understated, and
will never be forgotten, even here in
New Jersey, two states away.
As we remember that day and, more
importantly, the families who lost
loved ones, lets remember that our
schools need to protect our kids both
physically and mentally.
in our opinion
Never forget Sandy HookThree months after the Connecticut tragedy, school security is a topic once again
What are your thoughts?
How far should our schools go toprotect the safety and welfare of ourchildren? Voice your opinion on thesepages by sending The Sun a letter to theeditor.
Leaders have serious problemsto solve now, says writer
I am not a political person, but I want toshare a little slogan of encouragement.
We have elected our leaders to run thecountry in the best possible way to servethe people.
As we all know, there are serious prob-lems that need to be resolved now.
It doesn't matter what side of the aislethey are on, let's encourage Congress, theSenate and the president to put aside theirdifferences and do what's right for the peo-ple, not the party.
This is no time to draw a line in the
sand; we need action!Let's all pray for positive changes!
Marie S. McFadden
Writer surprised by apparentschool tax contradiction
In your article dated March 6-12, titledMedford Township school taxes could beincreasing, I was surprised at the obviouscontradiction of information.
With a possible increase in school budg-et, beyond a given 2 percent allowed bystate mandate, coupled with a 14 percentdecrease in enrollment, why are we addingpositions and cost to the budget at all?
Superintendent Joe Del Rossi stated that
the total school enrollment would dropfrom 3,014 students in 2010-2011 to 2,600 stu-dents in 2015-2016.
He further states, thats an entireschool building. So, why are we increas-ing costs instead of looking to consolidate?
Wouldnt it be better to have four schoolsfully staffed with all the perks (includingfull-day kindergarten) versus five schoolswith fewer services and shared staffing?
This significant drop in enrollment is
less than two years away.In direct reference to Del Rossis quotes,
the reality is that the families with school-aged children cannot afford to live in Med-

Medford Township School Dis-trict began its solar project in2005. The system has been activeand providing power for a year.
According to operations andmaintenance supervisor JosephBiluck, the project is saving the
district approximately $330,000per year.
The system was installed by athird party through a power pur-chase agreement and is notowned by the district. Nautilus ofSummit, N.J., maintains and is re-sponsible for the system.
It was one of the discussionpoints several years ago. We were
adamant about the fact that wedidnt want to own the system. Itwas very susceptible to risk [toown it] and it would be a mistaketo take a risk on it, Biluck said.
Nautilus inspects the system toensure the efficiency level, runsdiagnostics and cleans the panels.The district is responsible for pro-viding the space for the solar pan-els. The energy is then purchasedfor a significantly reduced rate,
according to Biluck.Kiosks monitoring the per-formance of the grid in real timewere placed in each school.
Its kind of a skewed number.Its not a direct cost-savings fig-ure. It doesnt have the currentPSE&G rate compared to thePPA, Biluck said.
Despite its lack of accurate sav-ings numbers, the kiosk providesa visual for staff and studentswith information that can betranslated into class time.
The information has been inte-grated into the classroom, thoughthere is no specific curriculumbased on solar panels just mathand science lessons. The pro-grams are included in the giftedand talented classes, according toBiluck.
Teachers review renewableenergy concepts and why it wasimportant for the district to em-bark on this program. It givesthem what they need to satisfythe curriculum, Biluck said.We would like to work on a dedi-cated energy efficient curriculumthe teachers could work with, butwe need to carve out the time, sothey take bits and pieces andweave it in as they see fit.
Students spend their dayaround green initiatives,whether they recognize it or not.The district has adopted multiplerenewable energy programs.
Medfords fleet of buses uti-lizes biodiesel, and Taunton
Forge, Cranberry Pines, KirbysMill and Chairville schools use ageothermal system.

The building itself can be-come part of the sustainabilityconcept to these students so theyunderstand, and the concepts be-come more valuable so it doesntbecome foreign to them, Bilucksaid.
Currently, the district is explor-ing a second phase of the project.According to Biluck, the state ap-proved legislation for virtual me-tering in July.
According to the New JerseyClean Energy Programs website,with the net metering program,the electric meter spins forwardwhen electricity flows from theutility into the building, andbackward when power flows from
the building to the utility.The stored kilowatts are "net-ted," or paid back, on an annualbasis.
The metering program is in-centive for the district to add an-other solar system by the trans-portation center. However, theconditions of the market arentgood to move forward, accordingto Biluck.
The panels would be used tooffset power costs at TauntonForge, where the area cannot sup-port panels. The district willwatch for an opportunity for theproject, according to Biluck.
The efforts to save money andenergy have not been lost on thecommunity.
Our philosophy is we spend alot of money powering our build-ings.
If we can find an alternativeto powering them, we can put thatmoney back into education.Thats what were looking to do,Biluck said. I think the commu-nity at large recognizes and ap-plauds our efforts.

As a town, when 72 percent ofour taxes go to the school budget,dont you think we have responsi-bility to look for cost savingsthere first versus Del Rossi pass-ing blame elsewhere?
Mr. Del Rossi and the MedfordSchool Board: please do not askus to pay more money when youhave not exhausted all of your av-enues of cost savings first.
Lastly, knowing we would haveso much vacant space in our cur-rent five school buildings, wherewas the wisdom on constructinga new stand-alone administrativebuilding?
