Folks unable to procure N95
face masks are sporting a wide
variety of styles, patterns, and
colors. Here are some examples,
submitted by readers.
Send us a photo of your favorite
face mask! We’ll publish a
selection on haddonfield.today.
See below.
Board of Education
president ADAM
SANGILLO learned
how to turn a
tee-shirt into headcovering
and a mask
“as a wayward teen.”
Before COVID-19, he
occasionally resorted
to using the trick
“if I needed to go
to the Acme after a
particularly rough
BOE meeting.”
ROSIE CLARK, who
works at CVS, is one
of many employees
on the front lines
at drug stores,
convenience stores,
and markets. Her
mask was made “by
the mother of my coworker,
Damian.”
Outside the
Haddonfield
Post Office, THE
MAILMAN
demonstrates the
correct way to wear
a surgical mask.
Rotary president
PAMELA FISK
made her mask from
Rotary-branded
fabric she obtained
in 2019 at the
Rotary International
Convention in
Hamburg.
YOUR MASK HERE!
Well, online,
anyway.
If you wear an unusual
or particularly striking
mask, send us a photo!
Email to news@
gumnutgroup.com.
We’ll publish a
selection online,
in the Gallery
section of
Haddonfield[dot]Today.
“My mask was once
a tee-shirt,” DAVID
HUNTER, publisher
of ‘Haddonfield
Today’ says. “It was
always a bit snug, so
when my wife asked
if I had something
she could fashion
into a cloth mask, my
Sydney Opera House
tee came to mind.
It’s my ‘dress’ mask.”

A message from the Superintendent of Schools
April 24, 2020, from Superintendent Larry Mussoline PhD
We have been communicating with you throughout this unprecedented time
in our lives. We know you understand the Governor closed schools in New
Jersey until May 15th “at least.” You all understand that he may opt to try
to open them after May 15th or keep them closed. We have no idea what his
decision will be. We have no guidance as to what that opening may look
like. We all trust it will be based on scientific data and the health and safety of
everyone.
Over the weekend, I read through the surveys you completed for Dr. Murray.
They were as expected. Many praised the efforts of our school system to gear
up for online learning so quickly. Many others expressed concerns such as too
much work, too little work, not enough face-to-face time, the real fear of lost
learning, and maybe just total disillusionment over the whole world situation
we are all in where parents are expected to work at home, have the proper
meals ready, quarantine inside, and help teach children.
Daunting tasks; all of them.
Those of us in education knew that we could sustain this new learning
system for a short period of time. A longer period of online learning would be
daunting for all of us. We are a traditional school system, custodial in nature,
educative by design. Children come to school each day, stay for a period of
time, are taught face-to-face, and go home. They do that 180 times during a
school year. Taking that system and transitioning 200-plus teachers and 2,800
students into a full, online, K-12 cyber school with one day to plan was a very
heavy lift. This world was thrust upon all of us without much warning. No
directional signs are (or were) up and the street lights are off all over the
place in this pandemic society. So, as many of you said in the survey, this is a
time to praise all of us making the best of this situation. Health care workers.

Emergency personnel. Grocery store workers. Small
business and restaurant owners. Truck drivers.
Educators. And so many others who are trying to
work through this situation, making the best of
these difficult times.
Let’s do this in the next few days. Take some time
to thank your child’s teacher(s). Take some time to
thank your child’s principal(s). Take some time to
thank a Board of Education member. Go out of your
way to do that. I know you all know this fact, but
everyone above took a brick-and-mortar, traditional
school system, and transformed it into an online
learning environment overnight. They did it without
review packets, without paper assignments being
laboriously sent home, and without saying we are
simply going to review while we are not learning traditionally. The people
above created a total cyber environment where we are continuing with
lessons to the best of our abilities, picking up where we left off over a month
ago. Again, I know you understand this, but what your Board of Education,
principals, and teachers created was nothing short of a miraculous learning
environment in your school system. Because of the teachers, the principals,
and the Board, Haddonfield is a leader in their pandemic educational plan
in the state and even the nation. Take some time to thank them all for their
forward-looking leadership and work in these unparalleled times.
There is a lot of information [in the latest School District News – scan QR
code n] for you to read over detailing the unrivaled environment we are all
experiencing. Enjoy the newsletter. In the next newsletter, Mr. Chuck Klaus will
take over this column. I can’t tell you how excited I am about that fact. Chuck is
as honest as the day is long and as skilled a leader as I have ever seen.
Best wishes to you all.

Caregivers seek volunteers
Interfaith Caregivers was founded on the simple but profound vision of
neighbors helping neighbors. The organization supports senior and disabled
residents of Haddon Heights and Haddonfield, at no charge.
At a time when all New Jerseyans are staying in place, the need for Interfaith
Caregivers’ services is even greater. The organization’s clients still need
assistance with tasks such as obtaining groceries, or medications from the
pharmacy. Interfaith Caregivers has a set of protocols that respect the call for
social distancing while making sure those served have what they need.
Not interested in grocery shopping? Volunteers are also making social calls
to clients to make sure that even though we are socially distancing we are still
maintaining connections with each other.
Residents who are able and interested in helping are encouraged to email
executive director Nancy DeLaura at ndelaura@ifchaddons.org.

Chuck Klaus named Superintendent of Schools
During its meeting on Thu Apr 30, the Board of Education approved the
appointment of Charles Kraus as superintendent of the Haddonfield School
District, effective July 1, 2020.
The text that follows is from a statement released by the board.
On Thursday, April 30, 2020, Charles Klaus was approved to become the
Superintendent of Schools for the Haddonfield School District. He will assume
that role on July 1, 2020.
Klaus became the Acting Assistant Superintendent in June 2018, when then-
Assistant Superintendent Michael Wilson took a medical leave. Klaus served
under Dr. Lawrence
Mussoline, becoming Assistant Superintendent in May 2019 upon Wilson’s
retirement. Last month, on March 12, Mussoline announced his resignation,
and the Board posted the Superintendent’s job internally.
“Chuck Klaus has served as Assistant Superintendent for two years,” said
Board President Adam Sangillo. “The Board got to know him not only as a
hard worker but also as someone who shares our vision of the future. We
are confident that Chuck will lead us in the right direction to best serve our
students, families, faculty, and staff.”
Klaus came to Haddonfield as an English teacher in August of 1994 after
teaching for seven years in Maple Shade. He advanced to English department
facilitator in 2004, and became the high school’s Assistant Principal in 2008.
After a one-year post as Principal of Central Elementary School, Klaus returned
to the Haddonfield Memorial High School (HMHS) as Principal in 2011.
“I had the pleasure of working with Chuck for one year as the Dean
of Students,” said HMHS Principal Tammy McHale. “He is extremely
knowledgeable and practical, and he has an innate ability to always put

students first. I was
extremely lucky to have
him as a mentor and
even luckier to consider
him a friend.”
In addition to
being a teacher and
administrator, Klaus was
the varsity wrestling
coach from 1993 through
2009, winning numerous
commendations
including earning the
haddonfield.today | 11
“most wins by any coach
in the school’s history”
as well as being district
28 Coach of the Year four
times. He was Assistant
Director of Carl Adams
summer wrestling camp
for 27 years and also
served as a coach for
Haddonfield track and
cross-country programs.
For six years he served
on the Executive
Committee of the NJSIAA
(New Jersey State
Interscholastic Athletic
Association) and was
president for the 2017-18
school year. Klaus was
inducted into the South
Jersey Wrestling Hall of
Fame in 2011.
“Chuck cares deeply
about Haddonfield: our
students, our staff, and
our families,” said HMHS
English teacher Corinne
Welsh. “He knows how
to navigate our systems,
and he works carefully
and creatively to ensure
things run as smoothly
as possible. I’m glad
he will be at the helm
during this challenging
period.”
Currently a resident
of Haddon Township,
Klaus raised three
children who attended
Haddonfield Schools.
“My journey back and
forth across the district
to where I am now has
caused me to view my
responsibilities to my
students with several
different lenses,” Klaus
said. “Although each
step has moved me
further from the joyous
days of working sideby-side
with students,
I am grateful that my
administrative roles
allow me to impact
the academic, social,
and emotional growth
of more and more
Haddonfield students.”

taxes by
May 31, or ...!
During their special
meeting on Tue Apr
14, the Borough
commissioners set the
interest rate at 0% for
property taxes paid after
the due date of May 1,
2020 but on or before
May 31, 2020.
Their action was
in recognition of the
financial difficulties
some residents are
experiencing, because of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
The due date for
second quarter tax
payments is May 1. The
Borough grants a tenday
grace period and
does not charge interest
on payments received
during the grace period.
The commissioners’
action effectively
increases the grace
period by 30 days – but
only on property taxes
for the current period.
The 0% rate does not
apply to any back taxes.
Property taxes that
are not paid by May 31,
2020 will be subject to
interest at the rate of 8%
per annum up to $1,500
and 18% per annum
over $1,500, calculated
from the due date (May
1) until the date the
payment is actually
received.
Although the Borough
Hall is closed to the
general public, payments
can still be made “in
person” by placing them
in the black mailbox in
front of the building.
Place the tax bill and
check in an envelope
marked “Tax Office.” The
box is emptied daily.
Paying by mail? The
address is 242 Kings
Highway E, Haddonfield
NJ 08033.

While the theatre is closed in adherence with state and federal guidelines,
members are actively working behind the scenes to adjust the 2020 line-up.
Upon reopening, the first show will be Picnic. Set in Kansas during the lazy
days of summer, the show has appropriately been rescheduled to run from
July 16 through August 1. (Based on social-distancing guidelines at the time of
the performance, the show may be converted to general admission seating to
accommodate any necessary restrictions.)
Young Frankenstein, originally slated for summer, has been removed from the
2020 season. Future dates for that production are being considered. The
Box Office will contact season ticket holders and single ticket holders for Picnic
and Young Frankenstein to discuss options.

ORGANIC-BASED TURF PROGRAM
We’ve worked with certified turf and soil specialists to develop
a new turf program that will dramatically REDUCE the output
of synthetic fertilizer and salt-based products that have been
overused in our industry for too long.
We incorporated industry-leading,
organic-based soil treatments
and fertilizers with tried-and-true
products that focus on the soil makeup
of your lawn. With this blend, your lawn
can increase its ability to absorb nutrients,
reducing the need for consistent chemical enhancement.
The best defense against insect damage,
turf disease, and weed population is THICK GRASS. This can
be achieved with the assurance that you’re increasing your curb
appeal while reducing synthetic chemical output.
MOSQUITO CONTROL
Our program reduces the feeding
activity of adult mosquitoes,
prevents larvae from hatching, and
repels ticks from your property.
Other businesses treat twice as often as we do,
but since the focus of our trained technicians is prevention,
we can dramatically reduce the amount of insecticide released
into the environment.

Project Poppy postponed
Plan for an art installation at the High School,
commemorating the service men and women of
New Jersey who gave their lives during World War I,
have been postponed until the fall.
Project Poppy calls for 3,837 metal poppies
to cascade from the left corner of Haddonfield
Memorial High School and across Veterans
Memorial Grove, the grassed area in front of the
school – one poppy for each life lost.
The project is being coordinated by Haddonfield
resident and Vietnam veteran Joseph McElroy,
who was inspired by a display of 888,246 ceramic
poppies draped from the Tower of London and
“planted” in its former moat (now grassed),
installed in the summer of 2014 to commemorate
the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I.
The Haddonfield installation was to have been
in place from Memorial Day to Independence Day.
Now, the target is the first week of October. The
tribute will remain in place until Veterans Day
– November 11.
It’s still “full steam ahead” with respect to making
the poppies, however. Individuals, families, and
community organizations are invited to purchase
poppy kits, at $20 apiece, and contribute their
creations to the project.

HADDONFIELD POST 38
COVID-19: Legion Supports Veterans, Families
In the normal course of its “business,” The American Legion provides a wide
variety of services and programs for its members and their families. Now, as
our country mobilizes to defeat the novel coronavirus pandemic, the Legion is
marshaling its resources, nationwide, to ensure that appropriate support and
assistance is available to veterans and their families.
The Legion has reconfigured its website – www.legion.org – to provide visitors
with easy access to vital information about COVID-19, government programs and
benefits for veterans, and the Legion response to this extraordinary challenge.
National Commander Bill Oxford is providing daily updates online, and reporting
examples of how Legion posts and Legionnaires across the country are addressing a
wide variety of needs in their local communities. Some examples:
• Sewing businesses owned by American Legion members in Ohio and California
now are spending their efforts manufacturing protective masks.
• Some posts are hosting Red Cross blood
drives at this time of critical need.
• Post 178 in Millerton NJ provides flags for the
caskets of veterans who have passed away
while being treated at Javits New York Medical
Station.
• Post 47 in Havre de Grace MD has a Pantry
on the Porch of its headquarters, with food for
those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
VA expands telehealth services
Using $19.6 billion allocated to it under the $2.2 trillion CARES Act, the
Department of Veterans Affairs has ramped up its telehealth and telemental health
services. Bolstered call center capabilities enable the VA to continue to deliver health
care and mental health services while also mitigating the risk of virus transmission.
The VA is also working with telecommunications companies to provide broadband
services for veterans so they can receive telemental health care.
Crisis Line is open 24/7
The stress that many veterans endure can become even more difficult to cope with
at times such as this. Veterans and their family members who are feeling anxious
or alone and thinking about suicide need to know that no matter what they are
experiencing, support is available to help them get their lives back on track.
The Veterans Crisis Line – 800-273-8255 x 1 – is staffed around-the-clock by
trained, caring, qualified responders. It is available to all veterans, service members,
National Guard and Reserve. family members and friends.
● Both THE AMERICAN LEGION and HADDONFIELD POST 38 celebrated 100 years of service during 2019.

Ever resourceful, WEST POINT GRADUATES across the

A new provider for before- and after-school care
Believing that it is a “best practice” for any organization to look at the
changing landscape of offerings and evaluate service providers on a regular
basis, the Board of Education to decided some months ago to explore options
for before- and after-school child care programs in Haddonfield.
This is not something, it is believed, that has ever been undertaken with
respect to Haddonfield’s child care program. The board saw it as a necessary
step in offering the best options for students, families, and taxpayers.
Child care providers (including Haddonfield Child Care, the current provider)
were invited to present proposals for the board to review. Seven companies
submitted proposals and were interviewed on March 11 by a committee of
three board members, four principals (elementary and middle), assistant
superintendent Chuck Klaus, board secretary Mike Catalano, technology
director John Miller, and superintendent Larry Mussoline.
After narrowing the field to two
providers, members of the committee
conducted reference checks. (Site visits
were not possible because of theCOVID-
19 pandemic.)
During the board meeting on April
23, Chuck Klaus reviewed the selection
process and recommended that
the board contract with AlphaBEST
Education Inc, a North Carolina-based
company serving 45 districts (415 schools) in 13 states. New Jersey districts
served include Hopatcong, Millburn, Mount Olive, Stanhope, and Warren.
During its meeting on April 30, the board voted to approve the proposed
contract with AlphaBEST, effective July 1, 2020.

Novel way to
support stores
The spread of the
coronavirus (COVID-
19) is having a
devastating impact on
small businesses in
Haddonfield. Many have
closed temporarily;
others are operating at
greatly reduced levels.
To help keep some
cash flowing, several
business owners have
created “Haddonfield
Here For Good!” It’s a
way for residents and
others to support and
show appreciation for
their favorite businesses.
The concept is simple:
Go online and purchase
a $20 tee-shirt. All shirts
have the “Haddonfield
Here For Good!” graphic
on the back, while each
participating business
has its own logo on the
left chest.
If you can’t decide
which business you want
to support, order the
generic “Haddonfield”
shirt, or make a
donation.
$10 from each sale
goes to the business.
The more shirts sold,
the more money the
business gets. 100%
of proceeds benefit
the small businesses
of Haddonfield and all
monies collected in the
general fund will be
divided equally among
participating businesses.
When Downtown
Haddonfield gets back
to normal and retail
returns, there will be
special events where
everyone will be invited
to wear their Here For
Good shirts.
Shirts can be
purchased online at
HaddonfieldHereForGood

New: School Board ‘Bulletin’
In March, members of the Board of Education
Communications Committee got together to discuss
the possibility of creating a new document designed
to share information with Haddonfield families and
the community at large.
The committee members are Jaime Grookett
(chair), Adam Sangillo (BOE President), Lynn Hoag,
and Linda Hochgertel.
Each document will be brief and will be posted
the week following each voting meeting of the BOE,
once per month.
The “Board Meeting Bulletin” will feature
information about recent votes and issues as well
as upcoming topics of public interest. It is intended
to be a more informal, accessible way for the
community to learn about Board discussions and
decisions as well as why these decisions are made.
The first Bulletin (for March) was posted on April
3 under News on both the district website and the
board website. The second (April) will be posted by
May 5.
Committee member Lynn Hoag noted: “We
hope to provide the community with a quick and
easy way to get a summary of the issues that are
currently being discussed at board meetings ... the
bulletin allows us to connect those issues to the
district’s strategic plans and goals.”
[Publisher’s note: The Bulletin is also accessible
on Haddonfield[dot]Today, in Documents. n]

Historical Society invites input
to document the Virus Year
“COVID-19 is history. Let’s record it!”
That’s the thrust of a new initiative the Historical
Society of Haddonfield has launched: a storygathering
project called “Haddonfield Virus Year.”
The Society is inviting its members, and members
of the community generally, to contribute records of
their experiences for posterity.
“The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting all of us,”
says Dana Dorman, the Society’s archivist.
“During this challenging time of school and
business closures, social distancing, or even actual
illness, we at the Historical Society can’t help but
wonder – how will this experience be recorded for
future generations?
“Start writing down your experiences,” Dorman
suggests.
“You can do this in any way that feels right for
you: as a letter, as a diary or an activity log, as
a string of sentences. If you don’t want to write,
document your experiences in whatever other ways
feel right for you: photographs, artwork, audio or
video recordings, etc.”

Haddonfield and the
“Spanish Flu”: 1918-19
By Katherine Mansfield Tassini
The Historical Society of Haddonfield’s “Haddonfield Virus Year” project inspired
me to do some research on the Spanish Influenza in Haddonfield in 1918- 1919.
Until now, I could have told you only one story about it: that a Haddonfield resident
named Norman Nicholson died of the Spanish Influenza while serving at Camp Dix
during World War I. When the Society did its World War I exhibit a few years ago, we
told the story of Norman’s death, along with the three other Haddonfield soldiers who
died during the war.
With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting Haddonfield residents
this spring, I did some research in the Haddon Gazette and
other local newspapers and gained a much fuller picture of
Haddonfield’s experiences during this earlier pandemic.
One of the most interesting observations that this
research has made clear to me regarding the “Great
Influenza of 1918-1919” is how similarly it mimics what is
happening in 2020.
It is generally believed that what became known as the
“Spanish Flu” probably began with a bird or farm animal
somewhere in the Midwest. It appears that a mild flu virus
was active in the U.S. in the first half of 1918 and that it
spread to Europe with the American troops who were being
sent to fight in World War I. In the summer of 1918, there did
not seem to be much flu in the U.S., but it spread quickly and
became much more virulent in Europe. The virus was so deadly
in Spain that it became known as the “Spanish Flu” – certainly
a misnomer.
Norman Nicholson,
Spanish Flu victim
The flu began to spread out of control all over Europe. The new, more dangerous
“Spanish Flu,” when it returned to the U.S. with American troops beginning in August,
hit both American troops and civilians as a much more virulent and deadly virus.
Beginning in September 1918, thousands of troops began to come down with this
much more devastating version of the virus.
By September 28, 1918, when a “Liberty Loan” parade held in Philadelphia is now
known to have spread infection widely, the Camden area had already become a hotbed
of the virus. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, three days before the Philadelphia
parade, Haddonfield already had “more than 40 cases” of the flu in town.
There was no real medical treatment for the Spanish flu, so socially isolating oneself
and basic medical support for those affected was about all that could be done.
On October 3, 1918, the Haddon Gazette reported that Haddonfield public schools
and Haddonfield Friends School were closed for “at least ten days,” and the Board of
Commissioners adopted a resolution prohibiting “all indoor public gatherings which
would include lodges, societies, churches, moving picture theatre, library, etc. Similar
precautions have been taken at many other places in Penna. and N.J.” The same article
noted, “All the local physicians are working practically day and night and the matter
has taken a very serious aspect within a few days.”
By October 10, the Gazette reported that there had been six deaths in Haddonfield
so far. Interestingly, most were younger people: Margaret A. Bossert, who died a week
after her husband Benjamin E. Bossert, both in their 30s; Charles A. Seals, ... [page 2]
