He also touted Malberg’s accomplishments as a teacher and administrator.

Public comments during the school board meeting suggest that not everyone shares the school district's outlook "East is very congested in between class periods (when) moving between classes By relocating a certain portion of the building to the alternative high school it may exacerbate those issues of congestion," said Matt Rentezelas the Cherry Hill High School East representative to the school board said the relocation announcement was "a slap in the face to wake up (to) the morning after we were marching on Trenton (to support more school aid) with you by your side Added Laurie Neary: "The most disturbing behavior that I have seen is from the adults." She said that some refer to alternative school students as prison inmates The district can accommodate less than a third of the free all-day pre-kindergarten students whose parents applied for

unanimously agreed to apply for a waiver regarding the classroom size in the district's current preschool and preschool expansion programs at Malberg Early Childhood Center The waiver is needed because the current classrooms at the center are smaller than the 950-square-foot of usable space that the New Jersey Department of Education generally requires The classrooms meet the waiver requirements of 700 square feet of usable space and have bathrooms in the classroom or within line of sight Assistant Superintendent Lynn Shugars said it is common for older schools to request the waiver Shugars said the yet-to-be-constructed additions that are part of the preschool expansion will comply with the space requirement The school board approved job descriptions for a director of elementary education and a director of secondary education Member Renee Cherfane abstained and members Benjamin Rood and Sally Tong did not attend the meeting Several members of the public asked the board to justify that action in the wake of the $6.9 million state aid reduction and likely cuts to district operations Morton said confidentiality about human resource decisions kept him from discussing the job descriptions in depth He added the positions are "budget neutral" and that a reorganization of the district's organizational chart is coming Board President Miriam Stern said that

site of the former Stephanie’s in downtown Taunton, at 67 Main St., Maria’s Place is set to open in December, just in time for the Lights on Festival at the Taunton Green and will be a “family operation” serving breakfast and lunch with the addition of a dinner menu and pizza if things go well Taunton resident Marie Malberg is leading the venture who has owned and operated restaurants and pizza shops in the area all his life Frazis says pizza muffins were a big draw at his shops in Arizona and he hopes his pizza muffins will catch on in Taunton a pizza muffin is all we love about pizza merged with hand-held Frazis says the pizza dough is cut to fit a muffin tin and can be stuffed with cheese pizza sauce and just about any and all pizza toppings in known creation so of course pizza and pizza muffins will be on the menu The plan for now is to open for breakfast and lunch “It's always been a dream of mine,” Malberg said I'd spend weekends with my dad if I wanted to spend time with him “And my dad can do this with his eyes closed but we're gonna be doing breakfast and lunch here Playoff pointersGreater Taunton football players to watch this postseason Fraziz has owned and run nine pizza shops over the years including past ventures at Middleboro House of Pizza Central Pizza in Bridgewater and Nick and Angelo’s in Bridgewater but returned home recently to be with the family and specifically his 1-year old granddaughter “I have a 1 year old and I want to set an example for her I want her to see me working and that you have to be driven you have to have ambitions and shoot for what you want in life Though food and restaurants have been a constant throughout her life Maria’s Place marks a career change for Malberg who worked as a nurse prior to getting the itch to get back into the restaurant business and my husband and him and I have just been talking about putting our all into a little family restaurant."  “So it's been about two months we've been really pushing and looking around We thought about food trucks but then this just came right into my hands Push back from neighborsHarvey Street neighbors say traffic already a problem as city eyes land for houses with a service counter and kitchen in the back But Malberg says it’s the perfect size and just the right spot for what she has in mind Malberg is leasing the space from Stephanie’s owner Stephanie Connors who closed Stephanie’s due to injuries sustained in an auto accident has been nothing but supportive and helped to make an easy transition “We were just driving down here and we noticed it was closed see where it goes.’ She gave us this opportunity and we're just running with it.”  The plan is to do some minor interior renovations get some new signs and menus and get cooking but will help out where he can and more than likely will lead the fixing up effort so he definitely was pushing for this for me," Maria said Malberg says the menu will build off her dad’s cooking repertoire and input from guests a number of interested customers have suggested breakfast burritos  The lunch menu will include staple sandwiches and soups We're definitely going to bring some Greek to it But Taunton has a big Portuguese community But definitely we're going to bring a little bit of Greek-ness to the menu.”  The goal is to be open in time for the Lights on Festival “We want to be out there showing our face and contributing with all the other local cafes and diners around here and just bringing some good food to the community Parents seek answers Thursday at a Cherry Hill public schools informational session on the expanded preschool program and it was no different last night for the expansion of the preschool program offered by the Cherry Hill school district Cherry Hill school board President Miriam Stern said the district in October received word of the $3.4 million grant to expand preschool She asked for patience as the district works to bring on the additional preschool students "We absolutely understand and recognize there are pain points," Stern told parents at the session at the Malberg Early Childhood Education Center thank you for bearing with us and understanding." Additional funding from the state has made 150 preschool spots available Letters were sent to parents whose children were on the waiting list in mid-November A second group of letters recently went to other parents who said he has lived in the district for 20 years wanted to know why he was not contacted in mid-November placement list," he told the school officials "He has probably moved up because I am sure some people did not accept." The officials said they did not know the answer but said someone would provide him with that information later All provider sites for the preschool program have been vetted by the district and the New Jersey Department of Education Sites must abide by all district policies and procedures the district’s 15:1 student-teacher ratio and required districtwide professional development Several parents expressed concern during the meeting that a child at one preschool location may not receive the same experience as a child at a different location Edwards said the person who holds the school district's community parent involvement specialist position will be key to ensuring that does not happen "This person will support our community and the parents from Malberg or in our provider sites to ensure you all stay connected with our program and that your needs are being met through our program," Edwards said Resident Michelle Njaeu had questions about substitutes that the private providers will use "and how that will affect the kids in the class …I find that an ongoing challenge with day care centers is that oftentimes when teachers are absent The Cherry Hill Public School District representatives at the meeting said they did not know the answer but said someone would provide answers later "We know there is a high demand and a high need on the west side of Cherry Hill," board President Stern said The district needed to find school properties with space to expand a safe route and there needs to be enough space on the property," Stern said  Some of the children will be sent to private providers Parents cannot select which private provider site their children attend Each class is permitted a maximum of 15 students and each class will be composed of only Cherry Hill district students Several parents expressed concern that online reviews suggest quality differences among the private providers "That is why there's extreme oversight in our partnership," Edwards said "That is why there are so many additional positions that come with the funding (to regularly visit) the sites to ensure the safety of our students Children who accept a preschool spot and are subsequently fully registered will be assigned a location based on proximity to that location and their home elementary school location The district must offer the child transportation Cherry Hill school board member Gina Winters said those who had additional questions could email Acting Superintendent Kwame Morton, at kmorton@chclc.org Ed Flower can only think of one reason why his friend of 60 years “I suspect it was his idea of a joke,” Flower said one of the things that Flower has “figured out” is anything but a joke for students at Stony Brook University’s School of Dental Medicine: how to distribute his friend’s money to defray the cost of a professional education Bernard Malberg Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund will make education more accessible for dental students at Stony Brook establishing a partial scholarship for one student each year “Investment in the education of our students at this level creates a resoundingly positive impact on our students and the school community,” said Mary R “This generous gift will allow the Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine to be competitive with our peer institutions in the recruitment of talented students interested in a career in dentistry.” By making education more accessible for aspiring dentists at Stony Brook Flower sees a fitting way to honor the legacy of a man who made dental care more accessible in his community “It’s amazing that he put together as much money as he did when you consider that his fees were very modest,” Flower said “He dealt with patients who were not wealthy The West Islip community had a large cross-section of people and he got many patients who did not come from the wealthiest part of town by investing conservatively over the years a portion of that estate has been used to create far-reaching impact across the country “I’ve embarked on a program of helping small $15,000 or $25,000 can mean to some of these smaller charities Malberg would support?’ I’ve known him since 1956 and what he would like and what he wouldn’t like.” but the veteran of both World War II and the Korean War quickly became more than a dentist to Flower and his wife was within walking distance of our home,” Flower said he might get on his bicycle or he might walk over to our house He took care of our kids; he was our dentist until he retired.” while Flower has found great satisfaction in donating his friend’s money “off the beaten path” — “You change the whole face of their charity,” he said — it seemed truly fitting that the largest gift go to support students in his chosen profession in the Long Island community where he practiced and made his home in various communities on Long Island,” Flower said Stony Brook will be able to ease students’ path toward possibly filling that need “We are honored to be the permanent home of the Dr Bernard Malberg Memorial Scholarship Endowment in Dental Medicine,” said Dexter A senior vice president for University Advancement “The Malberg Scholarship is a lasting example of how our neighbors strengthen the University for generations to come.” The Dr. Bernard Malberg Memorial Scholarship Endowment is part of the $600 million Campaign for Stony Brook, the largest in SUNY history. To date, more than 47,000 people have contributed a total of more than $589 million.
