Should the Sunny Side Farm
House be restored or destroyed?
That question may now be an-
swered because Mount Laurel
will receive a grant to pay for a
consultant to make that determi-
nation. Mount Laurel Township
Manager Jennifer Blumenthal
said the Sunny Side property was
purchased for open space in 2002.
It is comprised of 23 acres with
an additional 71 next to the farm-
house property.
The property contains a farm-
house, barn, storage shed, and a
schoolhouse.
The grant is for a total of
$16,000, of which $4,000 is a cash
match by the township. The grant
was awarded by the New Jersey
Historic Trust as a preservation
grant from the Garden State His-
toric Preservation Trust.
The grant is to be used to hire a
historic site management con-
sultant to determine allowable
uses for the property with consid-
eration of federal, state and local
laws. This will include open
space, green acres and historic
regulations.
The consultant will be required
to make a recommendation as
well as supply various scenarios
and a projection of short-term
and long-term expenses.
The structure is in significant
disrepair from lack of mainte-
nance, Blumenthal said, noting
the township was given roof ma-
terials by donation and monies
will be spent on repairing the
roof. This is needed to maintain
the current condition and prevent
additional structural damage to
the property until we are able to
determine the appropriate direc-
tion.
The house is in need of signifi-
cant and immediate work, includ-
ing extensive mold remediation.
Blumenthal said it would cost
more than $1 million to restore
the property and approximately
$40,000 to demolish it.
In other news, $250,000 has
been granted to Mount Laurel
from the Municipal Park Develop-
ment Assistance Program. The
township is pleased that it was
awarded the 2011 Burlington
County grant, Blumenthal said.
Without this grant, the township
would not be able to complete the
needed park projects and im-
provements.
The township will use funds to
update its veterans memorial at
Laurel Acres, create landscaping
around the Laurel Acres pond,
plant shade trees and other re-
pairs and improvements in Lau-
rel Acres. The Bull Hills farm
property on Hainesport Road will

The Mt. Laurel Sun
An ordinance was unveiled at
the recent Mount Laurel Town-
ship Council meeting calling for
the redevelopment of the Fellow-
ship Road area.
According to the redevelop-
ment plan, the area is located at a
key gateway to the municipality,
as it is situated, with major road
frontage, between the New Jersey
Turnpike Exit 4 and an inter-
change with Interstate 295, a
major regional interstate traffic
artery.
This prominent location signif-
icantly influences the determina-
tion of the highest and best uses
for the properties located within
the area, the plan reads. This plan
is intended to create an attractive,
functional, and well designed
gateway to the township, which
will define and enhance the char-
acter of the area, while improv-
ing traffic circulation and provid-
ing opportunities for commercial
development and addressing the
townships need for affordable
low- and moderate-income hous-
ing.
According to the plan, the mix
of uses permitted by this plan
should add to the vibrancy of the
community over the long term.
This area is currently dominat-
ed by vacant lots and underuti-
lized parcels. It is also a location
with great potential to attract sig-
nificant tax ratables to improve
the tax base of this community,
according to the plan. For these
reasons, the area should benefit
from zoning regulations with a
large variety of potential uses,
emphasizing commercial uses
which are most likely to encour-
age development in this difficult
economic climate.
Although the current zoning of
some of the tracts within the area
does provide a wide variety of
uses, the area is bisected by three
different zones, plus one overlay
zone.
When the master plan for
Mount Laurel Township was last
reexamined in 2009, it was recom-
mended at that time that a rede-
velopment area be created in the
Fellowship Road area.
For the purpose of implement-
ing that recommendation, the
township council, in accordance
with the provisions of the Local
Redevelopment and Housing Law
(LRHL), adopted a resolution au-
thorizing the Mount Laurel Plan-
ning Board to conduct a prelimi-
Redevelopment plan hatched

The Mt. Laurel Sun
Mount Laurel lawyer Lee
Gronikowski thinks service to
country should be mandatory.
I think every American
should serve two years in the mil-
itary or in something like the
Peace Corps, Gronikowski said.
I think it would spur volun-
teerism and make people more
aware of how precious this great
nation is and what it takes to de-
fend it.
He indicated that, during
World War II the United States
had a population of 130 million
with 16 million men and women
in uniform.
So, you knew someone, were
related to someone, or were mar-
ried to someone in the service,
Gronikowski said. You dont see
uniforms on the street anymore
as you did back then, and many,
many people have no idea what it
is like in wartime.
I think the current war has
gone off of too many folks
radar, he added. I also think the
draft would stop us from getting
into ill-advised wars and con-
flicts. Draftees are not like an all-
volunteer force.
Gronikowski retired from the
military in June after 24 years of
service with the rank of lieu-
tenant colonel. He was commis-
sioned on May 1, 1987 in the U.S.
Army Reserve and the N.J. Army
National Guard as a first lieu-
tenant. He transferred to the Air
Force Reserve on July 12, 1994,
after his N.J. National Guard unit
was disbanded following the first
Gulf War.
Gronikowski said he has al-
ways served as a judge advocate
general (JAG).
He has been deputy ethics
counsel for the New Jersey
Supreme Court in Trenton since
1993, where he investigates and
prosecutes attorneys who violate
the ethics of the legal profession.
Gronikowski said he has ap-
peared before the Supreme Court
of New Jersey probably 50
times.
He described the difficulty of
having a civilian career while
still being in the Armed Forces.
It was a challenge because my
duty, especially with the Air
Force Reserve, was performed
with the active duty Air Force,
Gronikowski said. I was called a
mobilization augmentee, which
meant that I augmented the ac-
tive duty force.
I would often spend 30 or so
work days a year away from my
civilian job to perform duty, and
the Supreme Court had to let me
go, he added. It was really like
having two jobs at once. I had to
get very good at time manage-

Police report
Just an excuse
IPAB: Death panel or no big deal?
D
epending upon which politician is speaking, the Inde-
pendent Payment Advisory Board is either a death
panel or no big deal. We say its something else: an ex-
cuse. An excuse for our duly elected leaders to pass the buck, ig-
nore their responsibilities and
otherwise not do the jobs they
were elected to do.
IPAB is the board that, once
actually established, will over-
see Medicare spending and, in
theory, limit cost increases. Re-
publicans say it will lead to ra-
tioning health care. Democrats say it is needed to save Congress
from itself.
We say this looks like the old call for a constitutional conven-
tion in New Jersey to reform the states obscene tax structure.
Politicians who supported the call for the convention said they
needed it because the public was too stupid to comprehend the
process of tax reform and would vote out any politician who
perhaps raised one tax to lower another.
Same thing with IPAB. If Congress is paying too much atten-
tion to lobbyists and special interests, as the IPAB supporters
say, then, well, the public should be OK with that or the public
should be so outraged that those members of Congress either
change their ways or are voted out of office. Thats kind of the
way government is supposed to work. Its not supposed to have
independent, non-elected panels and groups providing cover for
cowardly politicians.
Whether its Medicare, tax systems, budgets or anything else
related to government, the fixes begin and end with those
elected to office. They have the power to do nothing, make
things better or make things worse.
Then, its up to the voting public to hold them accountable
and to vote people out of office when necessary.
We dont need bodyguards for politicians who are unwilling
to make the tough decisions.

nary investigation to determine
whether certain properties were
in need of redevelopment.
In accordance with that direc-
tive, the planning board conduct-
ed the investigation, with the as-
sistance of a professional plan-
ner, and prepared its report on
this investigation in a document
entitled the Fellowship Area
Preliminary Needs Investigation
Redevelopment Study, dated Feb-
ruary 2010 (the Needs Study).
Subsequent to the preparation
of the Needs Study, and after issu-
ing all legally required notices,
the planning board conducted a
public hearing on the Needs
Study on February 24, 2010. At
that public hearing, the testimo-
ny from the public and the town-
ships professional planner was
overwhelmingly in favor of desig-
nating the lots as constituting an
area in need of redevelopment, in
accordance with the provisions of
the LRHL.
The public hearing on the ordi-
nance will be Aug. 1.
In other news, Council issued a
proclamation at its July 18 meet-
ing to the Mount Laurel Striders
for completing a 59 mile journey
ending at the Atlantic Ocean on
Long Beach Island which benefit-
ted Big Brothers/Big Sisters of
Burlington County.
On July 10 at 4:50 a.m., the
Mount Laurel Striders set out on
a mission to complete a 59 mile
journey which began at the foot
of the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge
and ended on a beach in Surf
City, Long Beach Island.
Running on the roadway and
running in relay format, each
member of the team carried a
torch three miles before passing it
off to a teammate approximately
every 30 minutes.
The team completed the jour-
ney at 2:09 p.m.
Parents of the Striders fol-
lowed in tow with four way flash-
ers and signs on the back of fami-
ly SUVs indicating that the
Mount Laurel Striders River to
Ocean Run was in progress.
The Striders used the run as a
way to help raise awareness and
money to help Big Brothers/Big
Sisters of Burlington County. The
Striders raised nearly $1,000 for
their efforts. The Striders were
led by their captain, Sarah
DiDomenico, and by their coach,
Mike Ricci, who ran an incredible
27 of the 59 miles by himself.
Township Mayor Jim Keenan
called the 59 mile run an incredi-
ble accomplishment and con-
gratulated Ricci for organizing
and participating in such a
worthwhile event.

Lenape High School Director of
Athletics Tim Walsh has an-
nounced the hiring of Rob Hum-
mel, a special education teacher
at the school and long-time assis-
tant boys basketball coach, as the
new head girls basketball coach
at Lenape High School.
Hummel had previously served
as an assistant coach in the
Lenape boys basketball program
for 10 years, assisting in the lead-
ership of a program that has won
two state championships in that
time period.
We are excited about the ener-
gy and enthusiasm that Rob will
bring to the program, Walsh
said. He has shown his love of
the game during his years as an
assistant in the boys basketball
program and I am sure he will
bring that same passion as the
head coach of the girls team.
Hummel named

Gronikowski declined to com-
ment about what it was like dur-
ing the first Gulf War.
He said he remembers vividly
when he was tasked to get sol-
diers and their families ready for
deployment in a legal sense.
I remember preparing a will
for a soldier while his wife and
his very young children
watched, Gronikowski said.
That was a very sobering experi-
ence.
He lost his best friend, First
Sgt. Chris Coffin, U.S. Army, on
July 3, 2003, during the invasion
of Iraq.
We had been friends for 25
years. Met in college,
Gronikowski said. It broke my
heart because he had put in his
retirement papers and they would
not let him retire because of the
war.
Take it from me, a soldier is
the last person who wants to go to
war, he said.
