To the editor: I have known Mark Hines and his family for many years. I have pictures of them, even when their children were very young, helping with STEM's Natural Area Care projects, as well as with our special events. Many people don't know Mark has been contributing his time and energy to the well-being of Moorestown in many ways.

Besides a Main Street manager, how else could the township use revenue from the sale of liquor licenses? Reinvest it, or save it for a rainy day? Find out what the Democratic candidates think.
We've heard a lot from the candidates for town council over the last few months, from their plans for improving the business climate in town, to how they plan to rein in spending. But much of what we've heard or read has been reduced to sound bites or finely polished press releases. We at Patch wanted to give the candidates the chance to provide more in-depth explanations of their positions on the issues that matter to voters, and to do it through the more candid medium of video. Identical offers were made to both the Republican and Democratic candidates to sit down with Moorestown Patch editor Rob Scott for separate video interviews. However, the Republican slate was unable to agree to Patch's terms. We asked the Democratic candidates …

Council has K.I.D.S. plans, but is holding off action on "controversial" matter, mayor says.
Township council has before it a plan to improve three athletic fields at a cost of about $2.5 to 3 million—to be paid for, in part, by funds from the Open Space Trust Fund—but Mayor John Button says council won’t be acting on those plans just yet. Kevin Loftus, a member of the Recreation Advisory Committee and the K.I.D.S. Initiative sub-committee, said the township received in the last few weeks design specifications for field improvements drawn up by Alaimo Engineering and Taylor Design Group. He expected council to make a decision, or at the very least have a discussion about them, in the near future—possibly as early as this week’s regular meeting.
