The Haddonfield Sun
Business owners and landlords
in the borough had their chance
to offer suggestions and, in some
cases, their criticisms to the Part-
nership for Haddonfield during a
two-hour open meeting last week.
Emotions were high as several of
the owners expressed their frus-
trations with the partnerships
lack of communication with Had-
donfield businesses and a per-
ceived lack of interest in busi-
nesses on side streets in the
downtown area.
The officials for the PfH held
the meeting to address several
concerns that they were hearing
from business members in town,
Chair of the Board of Trustees
Susan Hodges said prior to the
meeting.
Lets try to keep this meeting
positive and hear some good
ideas, Hodges said.
It is the management corpora-
tion for Haddonfield's Business
Improvement District. The Part-
nership for Haddonfield has de-
veloped special activities and
events for the BID, including such
events as Girls Night Out and
First Friday. Its a tax-funded enti-
ty into which all business owners
and landlords in town pay a per-
centage.
Some of the most vocal busi-
ness owners in the meeting were
tenants on Tanner Street, the bor-
ough roadway that has been
under construction for the major-
ity of the past year.
None of the night events work
for the side street businesses,
said Wendy Kates, owner of Star-
dust Memories on Tanner Street.
Currently there arent even
any working lights on Tanner
Street, Kates said.
Dave Welsh, owner of the Had-
donfield Running Co. on Kings
Highway, said if youre a business
owner in this town, youre treated
like crap. He cited an incident
where a borough representative
came into his store and dropped a
piece of litter on his counter,
which the representative said
came from his store. Weiss said
there were customers in the store
during the incident.
The landlord of Rhinoceros, E.
Guy Elzey III, dominated the
meeting for nearly 20 minutes as
he lambasted the leadership of
the PfH by Hodges. He criticized
Hodges for taking the position as
simply a resume filler, and for
taking the position despite having

Partnership for Haddonfield
hosts open meeting for
business owners and landlords
By ROBERT LINNEHAN
The Haddonfield Sun
Two visitors to the Haddon-
field Commissioners meetings
last week certainly brightened
the future for the Haddonfield
Youth Soccer Program, as Free-
holder Director Lou Cappelli Jr.
and Freeholder Scott McCray
presented the borough with a
$25,000 check for improvements
to two soccer fields at the Crows
Woods athletic complex.
The freeholders presented the
borough commissioners and rep-
resentatives from the soccer pro-
gram with the check last week.
The $25,000 grant will go toward
upgrading the two fields
drainage systems. The fields have
historically had a problem with
drainage after a rain storm and
this funding will help improve
the system.
This was the second $25,000
grant the Haddonfield Soccer
Program has successfully applied
for and received in the past few
months. The first was awarded
for improvements to the munici-
pal complexs lighting system.
In June, soccer program board
member Jim Dugan said the
grants were obtained through the
work of then President Dave
Capelli. Dugan pointed to Capelli
and the board successfully ac-
quiring the open space grants
from the county for Crows
Woods.
Without these grants, Dugan
said Crows Woods would not
have its current lighting system
and improved drainage capacity.
Cappelli and McCray also in-
formed the commissioners that
the Potter and Ellis Street con-
struction project is about three
months ahead of schedule.
I want to thank the mayor and
commissioners for their coopera-
tion and efforts with this proj-

little to no experience in heading
an organization such as this be-
fore. He deemed her reign as the
chair of the PfH as a failure.
I believe the partnership has
lost the confidence of the land-
lords and the merchants in
town, he said.
He also went on to criticize the
timing of the two street projects
and the allowance of a massage
parlor to set up shop on Kings
Highway earlier this year. Elzey
left before the meeting was con-
cluded.
Hodges said she had never met
Elzey before, and if he knew her
personally, he would not be say-
ing such things about her.
Kasko stood up for the partner-
ship and informed Elzey that the
organization had nothing to do
with the massage parlor coming
into town: it was the landlords
decision to rent the storefront to
the current tenant. He also in-
formed the speaker that the Tan-
ner Street reconstruction project
was deemed necessary by the bor-
ough and its commissioners,
while the Ellis and Potter Street
projects were driven by Camden
County.
A fellow merchant also later
apologized to Hodges on behalf of
the audience for Elzeys inappro-
priate comments.
David Hunter, publisher of
Whats On, thanked the mem-
bers of the partnership for their
dedication and hard work for
Haddonfield. Hunter said the
partnership thinks of fantastic
ideas and strategies for business-
es in the BID, but too many of
them die before they get started.
Hunter proposed the partnership
hire a full-time employee to im-
plement these new strategies and
ideas.
The partnerships two part-
time employees, Lisa Hurd and
Rosalie Shapiro, do this to an ex-
tent, he said, but dont have
enough time outside of their reg-
ular duties.
As the meeting wound down,
business owners supported the
idea of a new opening celebra-
tion for Tanner Street when the
construction has been completed.
Business owner and resident
Herb Hess suggested a block
party to support the long-suffer-
ing businesses on the street.
Kasko confirmed that the com-
missioners are currently think-
ing of possible festivities for Tan-
ner Street when the construction
is completed.
Mayor Tish Colombi thanked
the owners for their suggestions
during the meeting.
This only works if we all
stand together, share our ideas
and work out our differences,
she said. The BIDs job is to at-
tract people into town. Its your
job to get them into your store.
Matt Titus, owner of A Taste of
Home and Yogurt on Kings High-
way, said the partnership has
been a big help for his business.
I was one of the businesses
that had the opportunity to move
up to Kings Highway, and I defi-
nitely was able to make that
choice through the efforts of the
partnership, he said. Im grate-
ful to have the partnership and
the information center in town.
Ill tell you that I see almost a 30
percent increase in business dur-
ing each First Friday event.
The partnership meets the first
Wednesday of each month at 8:30
a.m. at borough hall.
