There is a place where reason-
able men and women take time
each week to discuss and debate is-
sues that face our nation and coun-
tries around the world. No, certain-
ly not Congress. It is the South Jer-
sey Debate League.
The SJDL, established 40 years
ago, hosts as many as 40 high
school varsity and junior varsity
debates on Wednesday afternoons
from December through February
at high schools throughout the re-
gion. This year, students from
Burlington, Camden and Glouces-
ter counties competed each week
with the season concluding at East-
ern High School on Feb. 27 with a
championship debate and awards
Seneca debates at championship

Old Man Winter has certainly
had his influence on the Shamong
School District and Lenape Re-
gional High School Districts cal-
endars this year, and if it contin-
ues, spring break plans may be af-
fected.
According to Superintendent
Christine Vespe, Shamong built
in five snow days as part of the
schools calendar and has used all
five so far this year, pushing the
last day of school to June 25. If
weather forces more school clo-
sures, the board will begin to take
days away from the end of spring
break. Spring break is scheduled
to close Shamongs schools for a
total of five and a half days. Fri-
day, April 18 is scheduled for stu-
dent early dismissal and Monday,
April 21 through Friday, April 25
the school will be closed. Vespe is
hopeful that spring break will re-
main intact.
The Lenape Regional High
School District held a special
Board of Education meeting on
Feb. 10 to address school calendar
alterations. The meeting was
called to allow the board to ap-
prove an amended school calen-
dar so a snow day could be made
up on Presidents Day, Feb. 17.
The amended calendar also
listed the dates snow days will be
made up if needed.
The first three are to be made
up on June 16, June 17 and June
18. The district made up its fourth
snow day on Feb. 17 and will
make up its fifth snow day on
June 19.
If a sixth snow day is neces-
sary, it will be made up on June
20. Any additional snow days will
be made up during spring break,
which is the week of April 21. The
school district will take away
from spring break last in hopes of
keeping the full week off intact.
Superintendent Carol Birn-
bohm issued a letter posted on the
districts website following the
Board of Educations approval of
the amended calendar, saying
how this winter has been out of
the ordinary as far as the number
of school days affected by weath-
er.
Although we do weigh the im-
pact of school closings and make-
up days on families, our decisions
are based on what is best for the
safety and education of our stu-
dents, Birnbohm said.
For students who were not able
to attend school on Presidents
Day due to college visitations or
other previous travel plans, ex-
cused absences were accepted as
long as the student brought prop-
er documentation to their respec-
tive school.
In other news:
The Shamong board approved
the following individuals as mem-
bers of the teacher evaluation
district advisory committee:
Vespe, Tim Carroll, Nicole Moore,
Nicole Espenberg, Lisa
Abramovitz, Melissa Ciliberti,
Michael Tuman, Diane Carr,
Laura Hoffman and Jackie John-
son.
Approval was granted to New
Behavioral Network, Inc. as pro-
fessional services providers for
behavioral consultation services
during the 2013-2014 school year.
The boards next meeting is
scheduled for Tuesday, March 25
at 7 p.m. in the Indian Mills Me-
morial School.

The Medford Arts Center is
seeking talented high school mu-
sicians to participate in its annual
Young Artists in Concert event,
scheduled for Friday, April 4, at
7:30 p.m. at the Lord of Life
Lutheran Church in Tabernacle.
The concert is free and open to the
public.
This program is designed to
showcase the areas highest level
of talented high school perform-
ers and will include instrumental-
ists, vocalists and pianists, per-
forming everything from Bach to
Broadway selections.
All high school students resid-
ing in the Lenape Regional High
School District and attending pub-
lic or private school are eligible to
apply. All applicants should be in-
strumentalists, pianists and vo-
calists who have studied privately
or have acquired some onstage
solo experience. Applicants are
asked to submit an application
listing their most recent musical
accomplishments, along with a
recommendation from their in-
structor.
In addition to providing the
young artists with a large and
very appreciative audience, this
concert offers an opportunity for
them to get some extra use from
that solo that was used for region-
al tryouts or perhaps a college au-
dition. It also enables the student
a means of testing out a piece be-
fore a crucial audition, a tech-
nique many experienced musi-
cians have used successfully.
Since performers are not permit-
ted to use recorded accompani-
ments, everyone must provide
their own accompanist. At the
conclusion of the concert, each
performer will receive a certifi-
cate of appreciation for their par-
ticipation.
Applications may be obtained
via email at YAIC2014@aol.com.
Applications are also available at
the Medford Arts Center, 18 N.
Main St., Friday through Sunday,

turned or postmarked by March
