Douglas W. Howlett, 65, of Somerdale, a former superintendent of the Brooklawn School District \"20100415_inq_o-jhowl14-a\" who was involved with the National Ski Patrol locally and nationally, died of complications from prostate cancer Friday, April 9, at Virtua Marlton.

His devotion to passing on knowledge to help others better themselves was evident in his everyday life, from his career as a superintendent to his seasonal hobbies, skiing and sailing.

Mr. Howlett was \”a teacher at heart,\” said his wife, Cheri.

While completing his doctorate in education at Temple University, Mr. Howlett was hired in 1975 as principal and superintendent of Alice Costello Elementary School, the only school in the Brooklawn district.

He quickly became known for smart leadership in managing the district\’s budget and for working hard on teachers\’ contracts, former School Board President Kathleen Maass said.

Mr. Howlett\’s down-to-earth personality allowed him to be strict on policies and have a take-charge attitude that people could appreciate, Maass said.

\”He trained the school board secretaries himself, and there were quite a few of them,\” she said.

As superintendent, he developed special-education and child-study team services, and implemented a program for gifted and talented students.

A technology geek for most of his life – he owned a video camera and an early cell phone – Mr. Howlett planned, installed, and maintained the school\’s computers and computer lab.

His last major project before retiring in 1999 was renovation of the school, which had been built in the 1920s.

MUTUAL AID SLOW DOWN RUMOR ABSOLUTELY FALSE!

I received an email yesterday about a possible mutual aid slow down by surrounding fire departments in responding to calls in Gloucester City. ~Bill Cleary

It reads in part,

Bill, Just wanted to let you know about, a disturbing rumor I heard, and looked into . And it appears to be true. As I am sure you are aware that the paid fireman have many contacts in the fire service, and most of them volunteer in neighboring towns. Well if the lay offs happen all of our mutual aid departments have been asked to slow down their response to Gloucester City. Mt Ephraim is definitely planning on not responding in for a fire or a extremely slow response. I find it appalling that these so called professionals would risk the lives of the citizens, and possibly there own, to prove a point. I hope you can ask around, and if this true, please break the story.

I contacted Jeff Sanderson, president of the Gloucester City FMBA Local 51, the union that represents the City firefighters for a response. He writes,

Bill,
That rumor is absolutely not true. I have lived in this town my whole life, almost 30 yrs, and I too would find it unprofessional to even fathom that idea. I have a lot of family and friends in this town and unlike mayor and council I do not and will not risk the lives of my citizens in anyway, shape or form. If you can find out where this rumor is coming from I would like to know so I can stop this bullshit.
