Myles Buchanan and Kyle McDougal get their picture taken with Santa Claus during the Santa Comes to Mt. Laurel event at the Mt.
Laurel Community Center last week. Kids had the opportunity to meet Santa, participate in some arts and crafts and get a bag full of
treats at the candy bar. For more photos, please see page 19.
The Mt. Laurel Board of Education and Mt. Laurel Administrators Association have agreed
to a new three-year contract running through the 2016-17 school
year.
The board unanimously approved the new contract at last
weeks board of education meeting. The agreement includes a 5.9
percent salary increase over the
course of three years.
The old agreement between the
school district and the MLAA expired on June 30. Marie Reynolds,
director of communications for
Mt. Laurel schools, said the two
sides decided not to begin negotiations until the school district
and Mt. Laurel Education Association approved a new contract

A Lenape High School student
was arrested after assaulting a
student and school staff last
Wednesday.
Zianna Hernandez, an 18-yearold Mt. Laurel resident, was
charged with two counts of aggravated assault, one count of
simple assault and one count of
resisting arrest after she attacked
another student from behind at
approximately 7:30 a.m. on Dec.
17. She is lodged in the Burlington
County Minimum Security Facility in lieu of $50,000 full cash bail.
The incident began when Hernandez approached the victim
from behind and attacked her. Lt.
Arthur Waterman from the Medford Township Police says the incident was not a fight between
two willing combatants.

with the teachers. The new teachers contract was approved in
September.
They waited until the other
contract was done before they
began talking, Reynolds said.
Our administrators were gracious in waiting until the Mt.
Laurel Education Association
contract was approved in September before beginning their own
negotiations, said Diane Blair,
chair of the negotiations committee for the Mt. Laurel Board of
Education.
In addition to a salary increase,
the administrators made some
concessions on health benefits.
The main discussion was
around salary, Reynolds said.
They did the same concession
that the MLEA did in reducing
the waiver fees for health bene-

Library to host
painting exhibit
The Mt. Laurel Library will be
hosting an abstract painting exhibit by Mt. Laurel resident
Marty Goldstein from Friday,
Jan. 2 to Friday, Feb. 27. A meet
the artist reception will be held
on Sunday, Jan. 11 at 3 p.m. Light
refreshments will be provided.
After a 20-year hiatus from
painting still life in oils, I resumed painting, this time mainly
abstracts in acrylics. My influences are everything I see, feel
and experience. I rely on our desires for beauty, poetry and seduction, Goldstein said.
Goldstein, who also plays saxophone, added There is a relationship between my music and my
art. Like the melody that rests
upon chord progressions, colors
rest upon shapes and their texture.
Goldstein is a member of the
Burlington County Art Guild and
the Willingboro Art Alliance. His
paintings and prints are for sale.
Inquiries can be made at (856) 7781163 or saxymusic@gmail.com.

Students with writing problems make up about 10% of learning differences. They come under the diagnosis of Dysgraphia.
The category includes a number of subtypes. Some writing problems are related to fine motor deficits; the inability to inhibit
and release small muscles in the fingers. They tend to hold a pencil very awkwardly. Others have difficulty with word retrieving
and cant come up with the words they want to write. They can say them fine but when writing develop a block. These students
should use a mechanical pencil which gives more traction when writing. Programs like Dragon are helpful software that transfer
the spoken word to the page via a computer. Help from occupational therapists with programs like Writing Without Tears
is often recommended.
Students with mathematics problems make up about 10% of learning differences. They come under the diagnosis of
Dyscalculia. These students have difficulty knowing that 9 is 3 more than 6. They may also have trouble with calculating and
with concepts. Later, difficulty with abstract issues like resistance in physics is seen. Some students are adept in math in the
early grades but have much difficulty with higher ordered math, i.e. algebra, trigonometry, calculus. Teachers make a big difference in math. A left brain mathematician is the best teacher. A right brain mathematician makes a good researcher but
often not a good teacher. Math tutors are helpful early on if dyscalculia is diagnosed.
(Now lets clasp our hands. Which thumb is on top? If your left is on top you are a left brained person; while those with
the right thumb on top are right brained. Lefties teach! Righties research!).
