The Washington Twp. Sun
Late last month, a Supreme
Court of New Jersey ethics com-
mittee made clear its opinion on
Washington Township Mayor
Matt Lyons, ruling he could not
serve as chief county counsel for
Gloucester County and mayor of
the township at the same time.
Lyons, who began his role as
mayor in January 2009, decided to
resign from the position.
His last day in office was yes-
terday.
Lyons accepted an interim po-
sition with the county late last
fall to serve as counsel until the
end of 2010. This January, he was
appointed to a three-year term,
which comes with a $150,000
salary, said Debra Sellitto, a
spokesperson for Gloucester
County.
Lyons said he did not see any
conflict of interest in serving in
both capacities, noting the type of
work performed didnt cross over
from one job to another.
The opportunity arose (with
the county) and I was fortunate to
be selected. I saw an opportunity
and pursued it, Lyons said.
Council President Chris Del
Borrello said others were not so
sure there was no conflict of in-
terest in Lyons serving in two
government capacities.
Del Borrello noted a previous
opinion from a state ethics com-
mittee that stated an individual
serving as an assistant county
counsel and a council member
could potentially pose problems.
In January, at the county free-
holders reorganization meeting,
Del Borrello said the topic of
Lyons roles was discussed.
The 5-2 Democratic-led free-
holders, Del Borrello said, agreed
that the county would continue to
let Lyons serve in both capacities.
He added that the two Republican
freeholders, Larry Wallace and
Vincent Nestore, were interested
in looking further into this issue.
Sellitto said the freeholders
thoroughly discussed Lyons at
the reorganization meeting.
The county had done its due
diligence. There was no existing
opinion stating he couldnt be ap-
pointed county counsel, Sellitto
said.
Del Borrello said Lyons multi-
ple positions still didnt sit well
with some in the Republican
Party.
From there, he said, Gloucester
County GOP chairman Bill Fey

The Washington Twp. Sun
Jack Ragone is a happy kid
these days. The 6-and-a-half year
old, his mom Kelly Ragone says,
is enjoying the simple things
more and more, like trips to
Washington Lake Park and order-
ing his own Happy Meal at Mc-
Donalds.
Life just got a little easier for
Jack, who has been unable to
walk on his own since birth, all
thanks to a new power wheel-
chair. Jack has always relied on
family, friends and teachers to
move him around. His new wheel-
chair, equipped with a joystick, al-
lows him to maneuver around on
his own.
The wheelchair was delivered
just about two weeks before Jack
finished kindergarten at Gren-
loch Terrace Early Childhood
Center.
Kelly said the wheelchair has
been a blessing to Jack, but now
the family faces another set of dif-
ficulties transporting the
wheelchair.
The familys home is not handi-
cap accessible and needs wider
doors and ramps so Jack can use
every room in the house.
The family also drives an SUV,
which makes it hard to transport
the 400-pound wheelchair.
The family recently test drove
an accessible van with a ramp,
and decided that a new vehicle is
necessary to properly move the
wheelchair.
Desiree Bowen, who works
with Jack as a one-to-one thera-
pist in the school district, recog-
nized the familys need for finan-
cial support to make Jacks
wheelchair dreams a reality.
Thinking about the smile on
Jacks face when he received his
new wheelchair, Bowen said she
knew she had to help the family
in her own way.
Bowen, who assists Jack with
handwriting and technology, as
well as stretching and other ath-
letic endeavors, came up with the
idea to hold a fund raiser in his
honor.
I have been fortunate to spend
many days supporting Jack in

Unlicensed movers
stung in Mothers Attic
The New Jersey Division of
Consumer Affairs is charging 25
unlicensed moving companies,
including JCs Moving of Wash-
ington Township, and assessing
fines of up to $2,500 each as part
of an undercover initiative tar-
geting unlicensed and uninsured
moving companies.
The four-day sting operation
took place from Monday, June 27
through Thursday, June 30. In the
initial phase of Operation Moth-
ers Attic, Consumer Affairs in-
vestigators posed as consumers
who needed to move personal
items out of storage and into a
house. They booked appoint-
ments with unlicensed movers
who advertised on Craigslist or
other websites, according to a
press release from the Division of
Consumer Affairs.
Of the 25 unlicensed movers
who were contacted, a total of 17
moving companies responded by
sending workers to a self-storage
facility in Bridgewater and un-
wittingly into the second phase of
the sting.
Upon arriving at the self-stor-
age facility, the unlicensed
movers were stopped and ques-
tioned by Consumer Affairs in-
vestigators, as well as by New Jer-
sey State Police troopers who
checked driver and vehicle
records, and inspected trucks for
mechanical defects.
According to U.S. Census Bu-
reau statistics, over 37 million
people across the country change
residences each year, said Attor-
ney General Paula T. Dow. Our
laws are designed to ensure that
those who entrust their moves to
companies operating within our
state dont fall prey to fly-by-night
operators who have little regard
for consumers or their cherished
belongings.
Under state law, all movers who
operate intrastate, from point to
point within New Jersey, must be
licensed by the Division of Con-
sumer Affairs. Licensed movers
must protect consumers goods by
maintaining cargo liability insur-
ance, workers compensation in-
surance, and bodily injury and
property damage insurance. Li-
censed companies must also
maintain a business address in
New Jersey, and they must pro-
vide consumers with a written es-
timate of the cost of the move.
Last year alone, the Division
of Consumer Affairs received
nearly 160 consumer complaints
against moving companies, said
Thomas R. Calcagni, director of
the Division of Consumer Af-
fairs. In many instances, preda-
tory movers arbitrarily jacked up
the total cost of a move by as
much as 1,000 percent over bogus
estimates, and then held hostage

EDITORIAL
and Washington Township GOP
chairman Michael Pascetta re-
quested an opinion from the
state ethics committee.
We recognized early on there
was a conflict in his positions,
Pascetta said.
Nearly six months later, on
June 22, the ethics committee
ruled, The committee finds that
a per se conflict arises when an
attorney concurrently serves as
county counsel and mayor of a
constituent strong mayor
Faulkner Act municipality and
the attorney may not concur-
rently serve in both roles.
The committee defined Wash-
ington Township as a strong
mayor municipality due to its
concentration of power in the
hands of a highly-visible, inde-
pendently-elected Chief Execu-
tive who has substantial power
over the administration.
In lieu of Lyons at the helm,
Business Administrator Mary
Breslin will serve as acting
mayor.
The Democratic Committee
has 15 days from July 19 to sub-
mit three names to council.
After the names have been sub-
mitted, council has 30 days to ap-
point a mayor from the pool of
three.
Del Borrello added that be-
cause Lyons resigned before
Sept. 1, a special election will be
held in November to elect a new
member to serve in 2012.
Then, in November 2012, an-
other election will be held to
elect the next mayor, who will
serve a full four-year term.
Washington Township Demo-
cratic Committee Chairperson
Jill McCrea said the committee
scheduled a meeting for Aug. 1 to
decide on three candidates
theyll submit to council.
She said no one has contacted
her yet with an interest in serv-
ing as mayor.
At this point, were taking
things one step at a time. In my
opinion, the person that fills in
the interim will not likely be a
candidate on the special Novem-
ber ballot, McCrea said.
One well-known township res-
ident did express interest in the
interim mayoral process.
Former council president Bob
Timmons said he would be will-
ing to serve the township.
If my party and community
would ask me to serve, I would,
Timmons said.
Pascetta said the Republican
Party is also prepping for the No-
vember election.
Weve had several meetings.
Theres a whole process,
Pascetta said. Were in discus-
sions and moving forward.
Lyons said he was disappoint-
ed that he would not be able to
finish his term as mayor.
Lyons also served on council
from 1998 to 2006.
My goal all along was to take
a really good place to live and try
to make it better. Eleven years of
servicewith the help of a lot of
people, we did it, Lyons added.
Timmons also expressed dis-
pleasure in the ethic commit-
tees ruling.
Im saddened to see such a
good public servant like Matt in
this situation. He did nothing
but serve his community and ac-
complished a lot in a short peri-
od of time, Timmons said.

more updates on the process of
replacing Lyons.

Still losing
But its still time to celebrate?
T
his must be an example of the new normal when it
comes to casinos in New Jersey.
Atlantic City casinos saw their revenues fall 3.7 percent in
June. The news was hailed by
some as a victory of sorts for
the industry since that was the
best showing since February,
when they saw revenue drop 1.4
percent.
Lets use gambling parlance
to translate: Hey, my slot ma-
chine stopped only one spot away from the jackpot! Or, That
horse I bet on to win came in a strong second!
You lose.
The casinos have been bleeding money. They still are bleed-
ing money. Only not as much. But it still stinks.
When it comes to the gambling race, New Jersey is way be-
hind, despite being given a huge head start. No sports betting.
Marketing efforts from the state/Atlantic City/the
casinos/some combination thereof are coordinated with all of
the precision and style of a kindergarten class first fire drill.
Nobody saw a threat from casinos popping up in neighboring
states: Dont worry about them. Those busloads of people
dont mind the extra two-hour drive. We have an ocean.
AC isnt dead, but it wont survive without dramatic changes:
a push to get sports gambling (which the state is trying to do,
but most likely wont succeed); coordinated marketing efforts;
cheaper food and hotels; and a general, overall effort to make
the place a destination point.
Vegas is Vegas for all of those reasons, and probably a few
more. And while that city has its problems housing bubble-
burst being No. 1 people still fly from all over the country to
visit, bypassing their local gambling joints to visit.
Until AC casinos get their act together, no one should be par-
tying on the boardwalk because the bad news isnt as bad.
A good bet?
Do you visit Atlantic City
casinos as often as you did
in the past, or do you visit

school and now I want to help
support him in a way that will im-
pact him for the rest of his life as
well as his family, Bowen said.
The fund raiser, which will be
held on Aug. 14, is designed to
raise money to help the Ragones
purchase an accessible van, as
well as make their home more
wheelchair accessible.
Bowen, who is also a Zumba
and dance instructor, will lead
fund raiser attendees in a Zumba
class, if they so choose. There will
also be a DJ, dancing and a Chi-
nese auction.
Bowen said she started teach-
ing students in the district Zumba
and has received good feedback
from providing students with an-
other form of expression.
Jack loves to party. He knows
the DJ and loves to dance. He
cant wait to take the microphone
and sing Bon Jovi, Bowen said.
The fund raiser will be held at
the Washington Township Ambu-
lance Hall, 4 Willow St., Turn-
ersville. Bowen said the hall do-
nated all of its services for the
day to Jacks cause. The DJ, she
added, is also providing hit music
at no cost.
Kelly said her family is appre-
ciative of all the hard work
Bowen has put in to make the
fund raiser happen.
Were just so overwhelmed
and grateful. Were touched,
Kelly said. Its important for a 6-
year-old to have a sense of inde-
pendence and a chance for him to
experience the world on his own.
His mother said she enjoys
watching Jack and his two sib-
lings, Tyler, 14, and Marisa, 12,
play with Jack and his new
wheelchair.
We live in a cul-de-sac, so his
older brother will ride his bike
and race him in his wheelchair,
with safety in mind, of course,
Kelly said.
Bowen said she is happy to see
Jack smiling more these days and
is hopeful the fund raiser will gar-
ner the money needed to pur-
chase the van and ramps.
The wheelchair he thinks
its a brand new car, Bowen said.
If you already know Jack, you
know that he not only brightens
any room he is in, but can make
you smile on your darkest days.
Tickets for the event are $20.
All money raised goes directly to
the Ragone family, Bowen said. So
far, about 75 people have pur-
chased tickets for the event.
To purchase tickets, contact
Bowen at 609-220-6944 or desiree-
abowen@gmail.com.
