Hoffman, New Jersey, Chair Present: Kenneth Kosinski, New York, Vice Chair Bryan A. Ashby, Delaware, Second Vice Chair Lieutenant Colonel Kristen N. Dahle, United States Jennifer Orr, Pennsylvania DRBC Staff Steven J. Tambini, Executive Director Participants: Pamela M. Bush, Commission Secretary & Assistant General Counsel Kenneth J. Warren, DRBC General Counsel Elba L. Deck, Director, Finance and Administration David Kovach, Manager, Project Review Amy Shallcross, Manager, Water Resource Operations Namsoo Suk, Director, Science and Water Quality Management The Commission met at the RiverWinds Community Center in West Deptford, New Jersey. Jeffrey Hoffman, Alternate Commissioner for Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey, presided. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Special Introductory Guest. Mr. Hoffman introduced New Jersey assemblyman and deputy speaker John J. Burzichelli (D, NJ-3), a life-long resident of New Jersey who grew up in Paulsboro, Gloucester County, where he currently resides. Mr. Burzichelli served as mayor of Paulsboro from 1996 to 2011 and began his legislative career in January 2002, serving as state assemblyman for New Jersey’s 3rd District. Assemblyman Burzichelli is currently deputy speaker for the New Jersey General Assembly. Assemblyman Burzichelli welcomed the commissioners and other meeting attendees and admired the venue, noting that the location was at one time slated to become a dredge spoil disposal site. The community center was the vision of former mayor Dave Shields and was constructed at a cost of $56 million, Burzichelli said, adding that the center exemplifies the value of the river as a public resource, as well as the value of the DRBC.

    Spring Edition 2018 PRIDE PRESS Spring Pep Rally By Ryan Williams & Alyssa Hurdich (Photos by Ryan Williams) Do you recall the pep rally we had on April 6th? How about the games that were played? The scores and teachers who won? How about a recap? The first activity was a game of Hungry, Hungry Hippos with the teachers. On a two-person team, one teacher had to lay flat on a scooter and try to capture balls in a basket while the other teacher had to ma- neuver their partner around. The winners of round one were Ms. Witzke and Mrs. Hoffman while Mr. Haloskie and Mr. Hassenbein won round two. Next, there was the four legged race where two teams raced to the half court and back. The winner of round one was the girls’ team since the boys, to quote an anonymous source, “cheated.” The winning team of round two was Mrs. Hoffman’s team. Then there was a game of Basketball Free Throws. Mr. Hassenbein won round one, Ms. Aragona round two, and Mr. Parker round three. Mrs. Montrose won round four. The jazz band played several songs including “Seven Nation Army,” “Beat It,” “Happy Song,” and more. At the end of the pep rally, our very own WHS boys’ basketball team had a game of basketball. The cheerleaders also did an awe- some job with their routines! Swish! “Jazzin’” it up Ms. Davis, Ms. Benson, Ms. Rinker, and Ms. Bauhmer compete in the 1 What an amazing lift! four-legged race.
