Haddonfield, NJ – May 13, 2013 – Haddonfield Director of Public Safety Ed Borden and Police Chief John Banning released the following statement on May 17, 2013:
On Thursday, May 16th, Haddonfield Police Department received several tips regarding a homicide suspect, Caleb “Kai” McGillvary. According to the Union County Prosecutor’s Office, the suspect was reported to have been seen in Haddonfield earlier in the week.
Investigation by Haddonfield Detectives confirmed the suspect was in in the Borough near the PATCO station on Tuesday afternoon, and possibly headed towards Cherry Hill Township. Haddonfield Police Detectives were able to link the suspect’s location to a residence in Cherry Hill. It was determined that the suspect had left the Cherry Hill home prior to police arrival.
Further investigation revealed the suspect was en route to Philadelphia via the PATCO Hi Speed line. Detectives notified Philadelphia Police and provided information which led to the arrest of the suspect at a Center City bus terminal.
Public Safety Director Ed Borden complimented Haddonfield’s officers on their “prompt, aggressive and thorough police work. Our department played a central role in the eventual apprehension of this suspect. HPD pursued each lead aggressively and immediately. Our officers secured crucial information within just a few hours of notification. They were able to notify Philadelphia agencies of the likely location of the suspect and he was arrested within a few blocks of that location. I’m enormously proud of their performance.”

Haddonfield, NJ – May 13, 2013 – Haddonfield Director of Public Safety Ed Borden and Police Chief John Banning released the following statement on May 13, 2013:
On May 12, 2013 the Haddonfield Police were notified that a Medevac Helicopter had been targeted by a laser. This occurred as the helicopter was passing over the 300 block of Bellevue Ave at 10:21 pm. Subsequent investigation revealed the actor was a juvenile playing with the device when the helicopter was targeted. The incident was addressed with the parents and the juvenile, who voluntarily surrendered the laser pending the outcome of the investigation.
Commissioner Border expressed his appreciation for the quick response from the Haddonfield Police department and multiple other law enforcement agencies that were involved.

The Polling Place location for Voting District 1 was incorrectly listed on the sample ballot mailed to homes.
The correct location is:
United Methodist Church
Welcome Center
29 Warwick Road
District 1 is bounded by Kings Highway between the PATCO line and S. Hinchman Avenue, S. Hinchman between Kings Highway and Chews Landing, and Jefferson Avenue between Chews Landing to the PATCO line.
The overflowing of raw sewage from the collection system is known as a sewer system overflow (SSO). Overflows occur because of (1) blockages in the pipe and (2) from extraneous flows surcharging the sewer pipe during large rain events. The overflow may be in an isolated location where it goes undetected for a long period or it may occur in a spot where it offers the potential for human direct contact such as a street, lawns or residential basement. Without direct contact there is little to no health risk posed. Never-the-less, upon notice of a SSO, the problem causing the overflow is to be addressed and the spill is to be cleaned up to eliminate the potential for human contact creating a potential health concern. The licensed sewer system operator is responsible to follow NJDEP procedures for reporting and cleanup of a SSO.
On March 11, 2013 at 11:40 am a gentleman from the Wedgewood swim club report an overflow of the manhole behind the tennis courts. This manhole is located down a ten foot slope approximate 45 feet away from the courts in a wooded area not open to the public. Sewer Utility employees immediately began the procedures to clean the sewer main. They stopped the overflow within two hours of being notified. Due to the wet conditions of the marsh on that day they were unable to access the manhole to clean up the residual overflow.
On May 2, 2013 Chris Costa from Camden County Health Department stopped at the Public Works department and spoke with Joe Keating the Director of Water and Sewer Utility concerning the cleanup of the manhole. Sewer Utility employees went back to the manhole on May 3rd and removed two trash containers full of c-fold towels and grease from the immediate surrounding vicinity. They then spread lime on the remediated area as per NJDEP procedures. This addresses neutralization of the affected area. The cleanup was deemed acceptable by the County Health Department.
NJDEP was notified of the overflow. A site inspection was conducted and we have been informed that no further action is required at this time. This area is included in the annual DEP inspection of the sewer system.
Late in 2012 Remington and Vernick was tasked with a feasibility study to determine the best way to re-route the sanitary line that runs from the PATCO high speed line down behind Wedgewood Swim Club to a pumping station located in the Public Works Yard. The relocation of this line will ensure easier access for maintenance and inspection.
I have reviewed the problems associated with the overflow and delayed response for cleanup and been onsite at the manhole. Disciplinary actions are being taken as deem appropriate.
Tish Colombi, Mayor
Commissioner of Public Works and Recreation
