There has been a recent in-crease of motor vehicle burglaries during the overnight hours. The Pennsauken Township Police Department is taking steps to address these crimes.

Most of the burglaries involve unlocked vehicles. Pennsauken Police are urging residents and businesses to secure their ve-hicles by locking the doors and closing the windows.

In addition, valuable items should never be left inside of a vehicle. Some of the top items stolen from vehicles include smart-

phones, personal electronics, work tools, credit cards, IDs and other personal doc-uments, cash and change, as well as car parts and accessories. Remember: items that are small and are easy to take and sell are the first items on a thief’s list.

Other important tips include: • Don’t leave your car running and

unattended • Park in well lit areas • Invest in an anti-theft system

A security camera system can also be a deterrent to prevent vehicle burglaries

and theft. Many systems can provide a live feed – so individuals can keep an eye on parked vehicles, even when no one’s home or at the office; and can pro-vide a notification if something happens. Plus, video evidence can be shared with police and the public to help track down suspects.

The Pennsauken Police also ask individ-uals to report any suspicious activities im-mediately, particularly a crime in progress, by calling 9-1-1.

The Pennsauken Free Public Library is hosting AARP tax help sessions through April 15. Residents wishing to take advan-tage of this free service should be aware that there are several changes this year.

AARP tax aide counselors will be at the Pennsauken Free Public Library, 5605 N. Crescent Blvd., on Wednesdays and Thurs-days, continuing through April 11. Tax prepa-ration sessions occur in the Library’s Community Room. Please note that the times for tax preparation have changed for 2019. Tax preparation hours at the Library will be from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

In addition, the Library will only be ac-cepting a limited number of walk-ins for tax preparation on a first come, first served basis. The Library’s front desk will have numbered cards to give out, up to the maximum num-ber of tax payers allowed for that day. To avoid missing the cut on a specific day or having a longer wait, individuals are strongly encouraged to schedule a time in advance, either online or over the phone.

This year, residents can register via the web using the AARP online tax preparation appointment system. To make an appoint-ment online, visit http://bit.ly/AARPTax Scheduler; fill in the information requested; pick the date and time preferred; and click “Submit.” A confirmation e-mail will be sent immediately afterwards.

By Frank Sinatra, AAP Editor Pennsauken High School is excited to

announce their performances of the mu-sical, “Godspell,” held April 4-7. This iconic musical, which highlights parables taken from the Bible, has been a long running success both on and off of Broadway.

“I’ve wanted to do ‘Godspell’ for years,” explains Kate Brown, vocal music director at Pennsauken High School. “It’s about a group of people who come together; and when a devastating tragedy happens, they are there for each other. It’s about forming a community that takes care of each other. That’s a message we really need right now.”

“Godspell” first ran off-Broadway in 1971 and received its most recent revival in 2011, with an update to the score and the inclusion of the song, “Beautiful City,” in the second act.

“This play has some really awesome music,” says Brown. “If you’re only famil-

iar with the 1973 version, you’ll still know the show, but it’s been updated.”

Pennsauken High School’s perform-ance of “Godspell” is “non-traditional,” according to Brown. Where the show is normally done with a cast of around 10, the school is using a much larger ensem-ble, as there are only two “named” char-

acters: John/Judas and Jesus. “I’m a very big believer that academic

theater should be open to everyone. With other shows, it’s ‘you are this person.’ With an ensemble like this, you get to create who you are. It’s a chance for the kids to play and experiment and figure out who you

By Jack Killion, Mayor of Pennsauken Township

Last month, I had the pleasure of

talking alongside Merchantville Mayor Ted Brennan at the net-

working luncheon for the Pennsauken-Merchantville Area Chamber of Com-merce. We both spoke about the vital role businesses play in the success and growth of our communities.

Pennsauken and our next door neigh-bor are glad to have some many great businesses here. And when they do well, our towns and our residents benefit.

Did you know that in the last several years, businesses in Pennsauken have in-vested well over $100 million into our community through redevelopment and

construction projects? It’s true. And this growth impacts each and every one of our residents. Not only do these compa-nies add employees when they grow, these investments in facilities provide property tax relief to our residents. More job opportunities and lower taxes are al-

ways a good thing. We’ve mentioned their names before

and they’re worth repeating: Haddon Point, Brittin Village, Puratos. In the past year, we recognized their investments in our community. And whether it involved cutting a ribbon or shoveling dirt, we

were proud to be a part of it. And it’s not just about larger compa-

nies with a global reach. There are plenty of small businesses that open up in town that we’re excited about. Flying Crust Pizza and Wings; Pennsauken Sweet Shop; Lenny Mudd; Checkers; Louisiana Chicken; Got Cut? Barber-shop. These are just some of the new places that opened their doors here in town. And we’re sure there are many more to come.

Finally, we can’t forget those busi-nesses that have made Pennsauken their home for decades. Places like Rosenberger (70 years), Kiddie Junc-tion (25 years), Collex Collision (20 years); Penn Queen Diner (54 years); and the Pub (68 years). They – and many others like them – are true staples of our community.

Pennsauken is extremely business friendly. Our great Economic Develop-ment team of Terry Carr and Larry Cardwell do a great job of working with new businesses to hang their hats in our town and assist established companies to relocate to our community. It’s their hard work, combined with the dedica-tion of our administration, that helps Penn sauken have a rich and diverse business profile, filled with “Mom and Pops,” franchises, international compa-nies, and more.

So in closing, whenever possible, I strongly encourage our residents to pa-tronize local businesses and our business owners to work with each other. There’s not much you can’t find here in Penn -sauken; and we’re extremely thankful for our many companies that provide these amazing goods and services.

By Bob Wagner, AAP Columnist

It was my turn to cook, so the bride and I were enjoying a meal at the Penn Queen Diner. A lovely couple in the next booth was finishing their dinner; and as they left, they stopped at our table. The woman asked if I was the man who writes the column in All Around Pennsauken; and I allowed a yes, I am the fat man with the beard. With that ac-knowledgement received, she then asked if the lovely lady sitting next to me was indeed “the bride.” Both of us smiled, and replied in the affirmative. With that answer, the husband said, “I told you that was the bride,” while he pointed to my lovely silver haired part-ner, as he grinned broadly.

Both of them shared pleasantries with the bride for a few minutes, while I was left to finish my salad. By the time I started on my pudding, they were still happily chatting away. As I boxed up the leftovers, finished my coffee, and took the check up to the counter, they continued.

I was standing on the front steps of the diner, smoking my pipe and contemplat-ing the interesting points of mini-celebrity, when they all left, sharing smiles and goodbyes.

I asked the bride if she had perhaps signed an autograph, but she told me not to be silly. She did give out one of her cookie recipes for Christmas cookies, two wallet sized photos of the girly girls, and a copy of one of the Woman’s Club brochures.

Manny came out from behind the

counter to say goodnight, wish the bride well, and tell her he looked forward to seeing her again at after church break-fast. I was left to retrieve the car and clean the windshield.

This is not an uncommon occurrence. More than a few times, folks have asked if I am the fellow who writes those little stories. Then they ask if that attractive woman is, indeed, “the bride.” As soon as I reply in the affirmative, they deluge her with questions. She handles it all quite well, assuring her adoring public that the tales I relate are indeed true, but highly exaggerated. Then she smiles, gives a queenly wave, and we drive off.

Just the other day, the editor of All Around Pennsauken, in company with our producer of Pennsauken Television and our parks and recreation director,

approached me about a parade they planned for later this year. They wanted to know if I could drive in the parade with the bride, my co-conspirator banjo, Joe Jones, Bob the Cat, and the girly girls. They would all wave. I could drive. Since all of the entourage will not fit in the VW Bug, the army jeep, or the Miata, the boys said that the bride could drive, and I could march with the Cub Scouts.

In answer to the questions about my recent spate of health issues, I am pleased to say that my plumbing is now better than ever. To celebrate, I bought a new pipe with a great curly stem. I look so good with it clamped in my jaw that I am going to buy a new jacket with leather patches on the elbows, and pose for a new book cover. All I have to do is just write a new book.

On Feb. 22, U.S. Congressman Don-ald Norcross announced that the Peter J. McGuire memorial and gravesite are now part of the National Register of Historic Places.

“While many people know that Peter J. McGuire is the ‘Father of Labor Day,’ they don’t often know he lived in Cam-den and was buried in Pennsauken. This

remarkable man, with South Jersey roots, understood the American work-force is our greatest asset and honoring his achievements with this historic land-mark is the least we can do,” said Con-gressman Norcross. “I’ve spent my career working as an electrician and fighting for New Jersey’s working fami-lies – and Peter J. McGuire set the stage

for all of that. I’m humbled that – as just a kid from Pennsauken – I’m in a posi-tion to properly memorialize my home-town hero.”

“I am extremely proud that the Peter J. McGuire’s gravesite and memorial in Pennsauken’s Arlington Cemetery is now part of both the National Register of Historic Places and the New Jersey

Register,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “Peter J. McGuire was a key advocate in the fight for respect and fairness in the labor workforce and helped to improve the lives of all workers. That’s why my administration approved the state des-ignation and continues to support Con-gressman Norcross’ work to honor the legacy of Peter J. McGuire.”

The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of our country’s historic buildings, districts, sites, structures and objects worthy of preservation. It was established as part of the National Histor-ical Preservation Act of 1966 and is over-seen by the U.S. National Park Service.

Norcross said that obtaining the two historic approvals so far was only possi-ble because of the research conducted by historian Robert Shinn.

“Those who helped produce the re-search to qualify Peter J. McGuire’s Me-morial and Gravesite for the National Register of Historic Places were thrilled, but not surprised, to learn that the United States Department of Interior recently approved the nomination,” said Robert Shinn, Treasurer of the Board of the Camden County Historical Society and principal author of the nominating document. “We were not surprised be-cause McGuire was simply a great American, and this honor was long over-due. While McGuire is most famous for being the father of Labor Day, which he

proposed in 1882, our research con-firmed that he was a labor leader of tran-scendent national significance in the history of the United States for having founded and led both the United Broth-erhood of Carpenters and the American Federation of Labor and, of perhaps equal or greater importance, for having organized and successfully led the eight-hour work day movement.”

Shinn added, “Credit for this success-ful nomination must be shared with Congressman Donald Norcross, Robert Fisher Hughes, president of the Penn -sauken Historical Society; Michael Tap-ken, Tri-State assistant to the regional manager of the Keystone Mountain Lakes Regional Council of Carpenters and curator of the Carpenters Tool and History Museum in Philadelphia; and Kathleen Rossell, great-granddaughter of Peter J. McGuire, who shared McGuire’s diary, letters, and papers, and family archives and photographs to sup-port the nomination.”

When will Pennsauken have its next paper shredding event? When does reg-istration for Pre-K begin for the 2019-2020 school year in Pennsauken? Who do I call if there’s a dog loose in my neighborhood?

By visiting www.twp.penn sauken.nj.us/police/anonymous-tip-form, residents can share specific details about safety issues anonymously or pro-vide contact information confidentially so that police can follow up with addi-tional questions.

Opening Day For Trails On April 13April 13 marks Rails to Trails’ seventh

annual Opening Day for Trails. People across the nation will kick off the spring trail season by hitting their favorite trails.

In Pennsauken, a special event is being held that Saturday at Madison Park, lo-cated at 38th St. and Chestnut Ave. Held from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., members of the community are invited to stop by and enjoy food, fun, and refreshments with elected officials and community leaders. Several types of standard bike repair will be offered free of charge and a grant for

the improvement of the rail bed in Pennsauken will be announced.

Learn about the developing trail proj-ect, its future footprint and connections to the Circuit Trails, an 800-mile network of bicycle and pedestrian trails. Once completed, the project will connect peo-ple to jobs, communities, and parks in the Greater Philadelphia Region. There will also be an unveiling of a new mural by Candice Lee Smith.

For more information about Opening Day for Trails, visit RailstoTrails.org.


The Delaware Gardens Neighborhood Initiative (DGNI) was started in 2014 as a grant-driven project to work on commu-nity development in the neighborhood whose borders are 36th St., Browning Rd., River Rd., and Rt. 130. The grant was for five years and expires in June.

One of the requirements of the grant is a neighborhood survey at the end of the five years; this will begin to take place in March. There will be a set group of

homes visited in what is called a “ran-dom sample” of the neighborhood of over 2,000 homes. Approximately 500 homes will be visited. Teams of two will come to the door on either of two days of the week, weather permitting. Due to the number of surveys required and the questionable weather in early spring, the surveying will likely continue through April and perhaps into May.

Survey days and times will be as fol-

lows: Tuesday evenings between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m.; and Saturday mornings between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

Team members will be wearing a uni-form hoodie with the words, “Promise Team,” on the front and back. A photo of team members in their hoodies accom-panies this article. Each team member will have a lanyard around their neck with their name on it. On the back side of the lanyard will be contact information for the DGNI office and the supervisor on the street. Please help the team com-plete the surveying as quickly as possible by opening the door to them and an-swering about 10 minutes of questions.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Car-oline Mitchell at (856) 382-1878. You may also visit “Delaware Gardens Neighborhood Initiative” on Facebook for updates on the survey.

Delaware Gardens Neighborhood Initiative Surveying Begins In March

Team members from the Delaware Gardens Neighborhood Initiative will begin conducting a survey on the program starting this month. They will be wearing a uniform hoodie with the words, “Promise Team,” on the front and back.

admired. All the details needed for en-tering the show and submitting artwork are found in the Art Show brochure on the Library’s lobby desk.

This year, we’re adding a new compo-nent to our show, one that gives an addi-tional opportunity for artists to display their works as part of our silent art auc-tion and wine tasting event on Sunday, May 19, from 1:00 – 3:30 p.m., sponsored by Inglesby & Sons Funeral Home, 2426 Cove Road, Pennsauken, NJ. For this venue, all works must be framed and ready to hang; interested artists are asked to e-mail a photo of their work to [email protected]. Please be sure to include your phone number in your message. Attendees on the 19th will be able to vote on their favorite piece for a

“People’s Choice Award;” and artists showing their work are invited to attend as well.

All artists who are part of the show must agree to donate 20 percent of the sale price of any piece they sell at this event to the Friends of the Pennsauken Free Public Library. These funds will go to support our very popular museum pass program, which provides free ad-mission to a wide range of local area mu-seums and sites for all members of the library. You’ll find more about the Mu-seum Pass Program on the library’s web-site, pennsaukenlibrary.org; and be sure to look in next month’s All Around Pennsauken for more details on the silent auction and wine tasting coming up in May.

Fabulous Franklin Students Of The Month

Congratulations to Franklin’s fabulous students of the month for December!


By Dr. Ronnie Tarchichi, MEd2., M.S., M.B.S., M.A.2, Ed.D., Superintendent, Pennsauken Public Schools

Time has flown! It seems like only yesterday, we were

welcoming our school families back to another exciting year of learning and growth. Now, we are weeks away from the first day of spring, and a handful of months before we bring another chapter of Pennsauken Public Schools to a close. As the temperature begins to rise and the drab hues of snow and ice make way for green grass and budding trees, I en-courage our students to remain focused on the tasks at hand. It’s wonderful to

have spring fever, but don’t let it distract you from your studies. You have shown great discipline and focus from Septem-ber until now. Keep up the good work!

Looking back at the last few weeks, I’m sure everyone would agree that we are looking forward to putting this year’s winter behind us. In February, the weather forecasts were interesting to say the least. It’s always difficult to make a decision on whether to have a delayed opening or to close school entirely. Our school community – students in particu-lar – are always eager to learn whether or not there will be a “snow day” when winter weather is expected; we always

appreciate your patience and under-standing as these decisions are made. Even if it’s a little later in the evening than we’d like, the Pennsauken School District takes a wide variety of things into consid-eration before making that call.

Please note that these decisions are made solely with the safety of our staff and school families squarely in mind. When a large accumulation of snow is expected, the decision is fairly easy, but when it comes to significantly cold tem-peratures or there may be a possibility for unsafe conditions, it’s a tougher call to make, particularly when you provide busing for students. While it can be frus-trating, it’s much better to have school end later in June than to offer condo-lences in February.

The two main goals of Pennsauken Public Schools are to make sure our staff and students are safe and to provide a quality education; and you cannot edu-

cate without creating a safe environment first. This is why we are completing the security vestibules in all of our schools; we continue to strengthen our policies regarding discipline; work with Penn -sauken’s public safety officials to im-prove procedures; and make the best judgment calls possible during winter weather events. Your children are our children. You entrust them to our care; we will do everything possible to remain worthy of that trust.

Spend Time With The Super Please join me for “Coffee and Ques-

tions with the Superintendent,” taking place on Thursday, March 21, 5:30 p.m., before the Board of Education meeting at Penn sauken High School, 800 Hylton Rd. These are times where concerned parents or Penn sauken residents can come and ask questions regarding any topic within the District.

Phifer Students Give Back At The Food Bank Of South Jersey

Carson PTA Hosts Family Craft Night

Seventh and eighth graders from Phifer Middle School’s student council proudly volunteered at the Food Bank of South Jersey in Pennsauken. Stu-dents sorted non-perishable food and packed over 640 pounds of food to be sent to the soldiers at Fort Dix.

Delair Mentoring Club Focuses On Service To Others

Carson families enjoyed a craft night, hosted by the school’s PTA. Students and their families had fun creating a range of Valentine crafts for the special people in their lives. Thank you to our PTA for organizing our craft night!

Delair Elementary hosted the Delair Disco for students with positive behav-ior. Students had to earn their way into the celebration. We danced, did yoga, had a snack, and enjoyed each other’s company during the festivities!

Students at Baldwin Early Childhood Learning Center had a special visit from the Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge. Miss Erin and her owl friend shared stories about the wildlife right in our backyards.

Pre-k classes joined in on an imagi-nary “owl hunt,” listened to the book, “Owl Babies,” heard different kinds of owl sounds, and even met a real live owl!

Students were inspired to look for na-ture all around in our community. It was truly a visit to remember!

Baldwin Pre-K Gets Close to Nature

Delair Disco Rewards Students With Positive Behavior

In January, Delair School students and staff in its mentoring club shared a special breakfast. Now in its third year, one or two students from each classroom were given an opportunity to work with a staff mentor for the year. The focus for this breakfast was “service to others,” in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Students and mentors worked together to make “care kits” for the Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey.

A year has passed since the residents of Pennsauken made their voices heard by voting for the future of the Penn -sauken School District. Since March 2018, the District has been working diligently to ensure all bond referendum projects are completed in a timely fashion, while meeting the required budget parameters. With the expertise of Remington & Ver-nick Engineers, the Pennsauken Board of Education is excited to update residents on all of the current projects being imple-mented under the bond referendum.

Security Vestibules School safety is the top priority of the

Pennsauken Board of Education and will continue to be as we improve our existing infrastructure. One of the first projects carried out was the installation of interior security vestibules at Burling, Delair, and Fine elementary schools, as well as the Pennsauken Intermediate School. Construction is 90 percent com-

pleted with the anticipated timeline of later this month.

Pennsauken High School Sta-dium Improvements

The installation of the new high school stadium turf is 100 percent completed, as well as the asphalt for the new track. With weather permitting, the Pennsauken School District anticipates the track being completed for the spring 2019 ath-letic season.

Exterior Door And Window Re-placements

The designs for most of the exterior door replacements and window improve-ments have been completed. Baldwin’s door and window replacement are still being designed at this time. Construction on the exterior doors and windows of Carson and Franklin elementary schools will begin in the next phase of project implementation after summer 2019.

Expansion Of Science Classrooms At Middle School And The Roosevelt Magnet School

Phifer Middle School will be getting three additional science labs through the conversion of existing classrooms. Roo-sevelt School will undergo an entire ren-ovation of the existing infrastructure to build a magnet school for gifted learners

at the high school level. Both projects are currently being designed.

High School Additions Pennsauken High School’s audito-

rium will be upgraded for top sound quality, lighting systems, and new stage curtains. There will also be renovations done to the library and team locker rooms. A new field house and tennis courts are being designed. All projects under high school additions are in the preliminary stages.

Repurposing The Longfellow Site The plan for the Longfellow site is to

demolish the existing building to build a new playground, walking trail, pavilion, and pickle ball courts on the existing space. The repurposing of Longfellow is in the preliminary phase of design.

The Pennsauken Board of Education values community engagement and par-ticipation in the process of building a comprehensive and safe school system. The Board will update Pennsauken res-idents on all projects that are completed through the Pennsauken Public Schools official webpage. Any questions regard-ing bond referendum projects can be di-rected to the District’s administrative offices at (856) 662-8505.

This February, Fine School won a schol-arship from Scholastic Books, Kellogg’s, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Through this scholarship, every student at Fine Elemen-tary School received a monetary voucher for a free book from our book fair!

All families were invited to the evening book fair to participate in a Literacy Workshop. The workshop was titled, “Raising Readers.” Families learned the importance of reading out loud to their children. Children who are read to at least 20 minutes every day are exposed to more words than children who are not read to. This makes them more prepared for school and for life. Also, families were taught strategies for how to make reading at home fun.

While parents were attending the workshop, students participated in a fun read aloud and activity. Afterwards, a de-licious pizza dinner was served and fam-ilies were able to shop at the book fair.

It was a wonderful night for our Fine family!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!

Delair Celebrates Students Of The Month

A Wonderful Winter At Baldwin Early Childhood Learning Center

Pennsauken Students Compete In Regional Spelling Bee

Students at Baldwin Early Childhood Learning Center enjoyed a great week of dress up days, including pajama day!

The students at Baldwin Early Child-hood Learning Center have been working and playing their way through the first 100 days of pre-k. Recently, the classes studied all about clothes and buildings. This led to a great week of fun with different dress up days. Students wore pajamas, athletic gear, character outfits, AND dressed up like the career they want to be when they grow up. Our community is very fortunate to have so many students who wish to be firefighters, police officers, doctors, vet-erinarians, builders, chefs, pilots, and even a paleontologist!

We have also been reading and explor-ing books and play centers, learning more about the world and one another. Our

buildings and dramatic play center cre-ations and stories are getting more and more interesting, while other friends are beginning to create amazing artistic works with paints, crayons, clay, and all kinds of paper. It’s truly a wonder to behold.

Finally, Baldwin students had the op-portunity to visit the Academy of Natu-ral Sciences Museum in Philadelphia for a school-wide field trip sponsored by the Baldwin Staff Activities Fund! Students were able to explore the wonders of the natural world with their pre-k friends and several family chaperones. We had special time in the butterfly exhibit and even saw a show in the auditorium. It was a truly fantastic day and we look for-ward to more adventures!

The Pennsauken School District has two “town hall” style meetings planned to highlight programs available at Penn -sauken Public Schools.

During these events, Dr. Tarchichi, su-perintendent, Pennsauken School Dis-trict, will present information on academic offerings, dual-credit college affiliations, CTE programs and curricu-lum, and the Air Force JROTC, among others.

All members of the Pennsauken community, particularly parents and guardians of children preparing to enter high school in the next few years, are en-couraged to attend.

The upcoming town hall meetings will be held on Monday, March 25, and Tues-day, April 30, at Pennsauken High School, 800 Hylton Rd. Both begin at 7:00 p.m. Optional facility tours will be available from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.

More information about these town hall meetings will be posted on the Dis-trict’s website, Pennsauken.net, in the coming weeks.

Benjamin Franklin Elementary School had an amazing acrobatic assembly! Chinese acrobats juggled with giant yo-yos, tossed small and large vases, flipped plates and bowls, and even jug-gled a table!

The students were very impressed with the contortionist who bent herself in a ball and looked like she could turn herself inside out.

Two third grade students were asked what they thought about the assembly.

Javielez Nolasco-Rodriguez replied, “It was cool! We should definitely do it again!”

Fransherlyn Acevedo added, “The table one was my favorite! I think my little brother liked the clown the most because he was making balloon ani-mals!”

Carson alumni Esther Suleiman-Arab and Maxwell Romen participated in the Regional Spelling Bee on Feb. 10 at the Haddon Fortnightly in Haddonfield, N.J. Both competed well and made us Pennsauken Proud! Max won first place and will compete at the next level this month in New Brunswick. Congratulations to both and good luck to Max!

Delair celebrates the students of the month for January! The theme of the month was “responsibility.” Pre-k students to third graders had a snack, read a book, and received special certificates!

During a special assembly at Franklin Elementary, Chinese acrobats per-formed a variety of amazing feats, including juggling a table!

District To Hold Town Meetings At Pennsauken High School

Franklin Holds First Ever Bell Ball

By Tracey Howarth, Pennsauken Township

We wanted to bring you up to date on our abandoned property program. Peo-ple often get the term “vacant” confused with the term “abandoned.” They are in fact two different things. Identifying a property as vacant is only the first step to declaring that same property aban-doned. A way to think about it is to say, “A vacant property is not an abandoned

property, but an abandoned property must first be vacant.”

A vacant property is defined as a property that has not been legally occu-pied for six months or more. We can also identify them by the condition of exte-rior of the property. Maybe there is mail building up; or no one has been seen bringing out the trash. A more obvious way for us to identify a vacant property is when we send out certified mail and it

gets returned as undeliverable or even marked as “vacant” by the Post Office. The best way for us to know is for a con-cerned citizen to call us and tell us that the house is empty. At that point, we can send our inspector out to check out the property and write the appropriate vio-lations.

Declaring a property abandoned is a process that moves at glacier speed. It can take up to four months to get a prop-erty through the abandonment process; and that is only if we have no one ap-pealing the declaration. It is however, the first and most essential step in putting the Township in the position to be able to get the property occupied. Without declaring a vacant property abandoned, we have no legal stand in taking the property to the next step.

This is one of those things that we have mentioned before. Although it takes time and patience, as long as we stay the course, like anything else worth waiting for, we have everything to win in the end.

We’re talking about this because we

are embarking on creating our fourth list of abandoned properties. By doing this, we are opening the doors to getting these properties occupied faster than if we waited for the banks to sell them off.

When the Township creates an aban-doned property list, those properties be-come easier to foreclose on. Meaning, if a lien holder purchases a tax certificate for a property that we have placed on the abandoned property list, they can then expedite the foreclosure process and take possession of the property in just six months versus the standard two-year time frame.

That said, we are moving forward to have all vacant properties declared abandoned. In our ordinance, it states that any registerable property that meets the vacant property definition is by de-fault a nuisance to the community. That ties right into having a vacant property declared abandoned, because the crite-ria for declaring abandonment is first, the property must not be legally occupied for six months. We then have to prove two more factors, one of which is that the

property is a nuisance to the surrounding community. From there, we would have to prove one more factor and that can be any of the following: taxes are in de-fault for one or more quarters; the prop-erty is in need of rehabilitation; or construction was initiated and discontin-ued prior to completion, leaving the property unsuitable for occupancy.

If our history holds true, when we’ve worked through the process and every-thing is complete, we will have every-thing in the hands of the right people. That is when we can see things come to-gether. It will be well worth the time and effort.

If you think you have a vacant prop-erty in your neighborhood, but aren’t sure if we are aware, please give us a call at (856) 665-1000 ext. 145. We can easily look up the information and take the ap-propriate action.

As always, thank you for all that you do to help us fight this issue. We’ve made a lot of progress, thanks to the help of all of the Township’s resources and our con-cerned citizens.

The connection of sump pumps and down spouts to the sanitary sewer system is prohibited. During periods of heavy rain, these connections often overwhelm the main lines. This could result in a sewage back up into your own home or the home of your neighbor. If you need additional informa-tion about these types of connections, or suspect you or a neighbor, may have an improper connection and want information about having it re-moved, please call our office at (856) 663-5542.

IMPROPER CONNECTIONS CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE

With spring also comes renewed and vigorous growth of tree roots that can block sewer lines. We take every possible effort to keep our main lines free of roots through our maintenance

program. The lateral line from your house to our main line, however, is the homeowner’s responsibility.

If you have had a problem in the past, you are probably aware of the signs to

look for (slow drainage or a periodic back up). If you experience these prob-lems, consider calling a plumber to check for tree roots. The plumber can remove the roots from your line. And , if you sus-

pect the problem is in the main line, please call the Pennsauken Sewerage Authority at (856) 662-0686, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

(Family Features) Whether it’s a sim-ple date night at home or a weeknight meal for the entire family, finding inter-culinary balance between everyone at the table can sometimes be difficult.

However, when at least one party is willing to make dietary changes to benefit a loved one, serving up quality meals can become less of a hassle. Though men are often stereotyped as carnivorous cave-men, the majority are willing to change their eating habits – trading in those porterhouses for veggie burgers – to make their partners happy, according to a survey from Yves Veggie Cuisine. While 63 percent of men and 62 percent of

women would eat less meat if their part-ner asked, 59 percent of men said they would also eat less of their favorite foods, at the request of their significant other.

In the same survey, dietary changes in the name of love were found at every level of the food pyramid, not just meat. Among the changes men have already

made are eating less meat (22 percent), eating less dairy (18 percent) and eating less gluten (15 percent). However, it was found that women tend to hold their ground more when it comes to giving up certain foods with only 14 percent eating less dairy, 10 percent eating less meat and 6 percent eating less gluten for the sake of their relationship.

Making dietary compromises can be as simple as using high-quality ingredi-ents like Yves Veggie Cuisine Appetizer Bites to complement, complete or even reinvent family-favorite meals like tacos. The gluten-free, non-GMO bites are low in fat and contain no artificial preserva-

tives, colors or flavors, making it easy to put a plant-positive twist on nearly any meal with one of the two varieties – Kale and Quinoa or Falafel.

Find more balanced, veggie-forward recipes that can inspire shared moments together at yvesveggie.com.

Ales For Tails Fundraiser Held At Double Nickel On April 10On April 10, the Burlington County

Animal Alliance of New Jersey will be hosting Ales for Tails, a food extravaganza, at Double Nickel Brewing Company, 1585 Rt. 73 North, in Pennsauken. Held from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., local restaurants will be offering samples of their finest wares to event goers. Participants will also be able to peruse a wide variety of items from a carefully curated silent auction.

Ales for Tails benefits the mission of the Burlington County Animal Alliance, which focuses primarily on rescue and adoption of shelter dogs and cats from Burlington County and surrounding areas. Creating awareness about the numbers of homeless dogs and cats there are in shelters, the Alliance pro-motes adoption of these animals and ad-vocates the spaying and neutering of all

companion animals to counteract the overpopulation of dogs and cats and to end the tragedy of euthanizing healthy, unwanted companion animals. In 2018, the organization adopted out 1,282 dogs and 167 cats.

Tickets are $35 each, two for $50, and are available online for presale at www.alesfortails.net or at the door for $40 each.

The Merchantville-Pennsauken Water Commission would like to remind you how important it is to take pre-cautions towards protecting our homes from the cold. This includes water pipes in the home and the meter that monitors usage.

So just how cold is too cold for your pipes and meter? Freezing oc-curs below 32 degrees Fahrenheit; if any part of your home is exposed to temperatures below that threshold, those pipes can freeze. Ice forming inside of a pipe can expand in vol-ume; this creates more water pres-sure in the line, which can cause a break. According to the Interna-

tional Code Council, 37 percent of all pipe failures occur in a basement and are the biggest risk of property damage when the temperature drops. Any uninsulated pipes in at-tics, basements, crawl spaces, and outside walls run a risk of freezing and bursting, which can cost thou-sands of dollars in repairs. Purchas-ing insulation to cover these exposed pipes would protect your home and protect your wallet. The American Red Cross suggests using insulation such as fiberglass, foam sleeves, or heat tape. These can be purchased at the local hardware store, but consult with a profes-sional first to avoid a fire hazard.

The same goes for your water meter; it needs to stay warm in order to work properly. Ice forming inside of the meter can break the device and cause it to leak. Unfor-

tunately, if the water meter is dam-aged due to cold weather, the cus-tomer is responsible for the replacement cost of the meter. In-sulating your meter is very impor-tant, especially if it’s in an unheated area of your home.

It’s very important for all family members in a home to know where the main shut-off valve is inside the home and if it is fully operational. If you suspect that you have a frozen pipe in your home, shut off the water immediately from the main shut-off valve. Cracks can develop in pipes or joints that could begin to leak once they warm up, so it is very important to shut off the water be-fore anything is done to the pipes. If your shut-off valve does not work, please give us a call so we can send a technician out to shut the water off at the street. You may then want

to begin to thaw the suspected frozen pipe with a space heater, hot water, or even a hair dryer. Once the pipe is thawed thoroughly, turn the water back on slowly and check for cracks or leaks.

If a pipe bursts in your home, call a plumber for the repairs and shut the water off at main valve. If you

cannot operate the shut-off valve, give us a call to turn the water off at the street.

If you have any further questions about cold weather and frozen pipes, don’t hesitate to contact the MPWC’s customer support center at (856) 663-0043 during the regular business hours of 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. For after-hours emergencies, dial (856) 663-0044.

Pennsauken Youth Action Committee and Kingsway Church are partnering to-gether to make this year’s annual Easter Egg Hunt bigger than ever before.

The 2019 Easter Egg Hunt will take place on Saturday, April 13, 10:00 a.m., at the Walt Nicgorski Sports Complex, located at Powell and Collins avenues. The Easter Egg Hunt is open to children up to age 9.

“This is a great annual event that Pennsauken families look forward to every year; and we’re very excited to be working with Kingsway Church to make this an Easter Egg Hunt to remember,” says Elwood Martz, head of the Town-ship’s Parks and Recreation Department. “We’d also like to thank event sponsor Kiddie Junction, for their annual support.”

The three egg hunts are broken down by age groups. Each hunt will feature 10 golden eggs. A child that collects one of

these golden eggs will win one of several special prizes.

In addition, family members should bring their cameras or cell phones to take free pictures with the Easter Bunny, who will be in attendance throughout the event. A DJ will also be on hand, playing music to entertain attendees.

Children should be at the sports com-

plex no later than 9:45 a.m. The egg hunts start promptly at 10:00 a.m. and end fairly quickly. In addition, partici-pants should bring a bag, basket, or other container to store their eggs.

The rain date for the event is Satur-day, April 20. For more information, call 856-665-1000 x151 or e-mail emartz@ twp.pennsauken.nj.us.

AARP Tax Preparation Continues At Pennsauken Library

Flu and cold season is upon us again. The flu is a contagious virus that spreads around the U.S. yearly, normally be-tween October and May. A cold is also a virus, one that affects the upper respi-ratory tract, primarily the nose.

How is the flu or cold spread? They are both spread by coughing, sneezing and close contact.

The flu or cold can come on sud-denly and last several days. Some of the symptoms for the flu can be: fever, chills, muscle aches, sore throat, runny nose, headache and more. Some of these symptoms are also similar for a cold, such as a runny nose, sore throat,

and a cough. The flu can be more of a concern for

some, including infants, young children, adults age 65 and older, pregnant woman, and people with weakened immune sys-tems due to other health issues.

So how do you reduce the spread of germs if you’re sick? First, you want to cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze with a tissue each and every time. Throw the used tissue in the trash; do not put it in your pocket and use it later. If you don’t have a tissue, sneeze or cough into your sleeve. After cough-ing, sneezing, or blowing your nose, al-ways wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based cleaner. Stay home when you’re sick. Don’t share eat-ing utensils, drinking glasses, towels, or other personal items when you’re sick.

Here are some tips on how to stay healthy and prevent yourself from get-ting sick: clean your hands often with soap and water, or an alcohol-based cleaner; refrain from touching your eyes, nose or mouth (your hands carry germs); avoid contact with people who are sick if possible; and lastly, talk to your family doctor about getting vaccinated.

If you’re in the market for a wonder-ful workout that doesn’t feel like a work-out, then chair yoga is just the ticket for you. The Friends will sponsor sessions on Friday, March 1, 8, 15, and 22, 1:00 p.m., in the Library’s Community Room. Dress comfortably and get ready to be amazed at how much exercise you’ll get without having to stand or lie on a mat.

For a more strenuous bout of exercise, regular adult yoga classes on Tuesday, March 5, 12, 19, and 26 at 6:30 p.m., will help you build stamina and balance – and remind you the next day of a few muscles you may have forgotten over this long winter season!

Of course, there’s nothing from stop-ping anyone from attending all eight yoga sessions for a pleasant chance of pace. You’ll feel better; and your body will thank you!

You can also let yourself relax at our next Munch and a Movie on Tuesday, March 19, from 12:30 – 3:30 p.m. in the Community Room. Invite a friend to

share lunch with you and enjoy not only the snacks and beverages the Friends supply, but also a great movie! We’re sworn to secrecy about which film we’ll be showing, but you can always find out by calling the Circulation Desk if you ab-solutely must know in advance.

If you haven’t already begun thinking about an art project, better get busy. Our annual art show and sale is coming up April 28 through May 5; and you’ll need to plan your entry. Maybe a portrait in charcoal? Something in fabric? A hand carved wooden piece or one of metal? A papier-mâché creation or a sketch in pastels? Watercolor or oil? There are so many ways to show your creativity!

Intake for all art work takes place on Thursday, April 25, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.; and on Friday, April 26, from noon until 5:00 p.m. All pieces will be on dis-play in the Community Room through-out the week during regular library hours, culminating in a “Meet the Artist” reception on Sunday, May 5, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Participating artists must be residents of Pennsauken or Mer-

chantville in age groups from eighth grade through adult. As always, we’ll have a series of workshops available throughout “Art Week” as well; more about them next month once they’re all finalized.

Details for participation, size of entry, framing, etc., are all spelled out in the flyer you can pick up at the Library’s Lobby or Circulation Desk.

Finally, our poetry contest is gearing up as well; we’ll be honoring the winners

at the awards night on May 22. The con-test is open to all Pennsauken and Mer-chantville residents from kindergarten through adults; submissions are limited to one entry per person. Applicants can-not have won in the previous two years and all entries must be original. Entries and information have been mailed out to area schools; but you can learn more about submission rules, categories, age groups, topics, etc., in the brochure now

available at the Library’s Lobby or Cir-culation Desk. Start thinking about what you’d like to write for this year’s contest. You never know what or who will in-spire your creativity, so be on the look-out. You might just become one of the winners we celebrate on the 22nd!

Our next Friends of the Library busi-ness meeting takes place Wednesday, March 13, 7:00 p.m., in the Library’s Community Room. Please join us.

There are times when a windowsill is all that's needed to grow plants indoors. However, windowsills may not be enough to germinate seeds, overwinter tropical plants, or start spring crops when the days are too cold and short to plant outdoors. In this case, using grow lights to mimic the sunlight needed for plants to grow may be the answer for the eager gardener.

Sunlight is one of the essential compo-nents for plant growth. Sun fuels photosyn-thesis, but the right grow lights can simulate the sun's action. Even though virtually any light will stimulate the growing process, some artificial lights are better than others at providing the best conditions for growth, while others can be expensive to purchase or run. Some lights run hot, while others

lack the spectrum of light for optimal growth and flowering. Blue light is likelier to promote plant growth, while red light will encourage flowering. Selecting the right grow lights for your conditions and needs can provide the indoor gardener with an edge that will pay off handsomely with healthy plants ready to transplant when springtime finally rolls around.

Incandescent bulbs cost just a few dol-lars and are the cheapest option. Al-though they may do just fine for a few plants used in conjunction with natural light in a sunny room, the heat of these bulbs requires a distance of two feet or more to prevent heat damage and should be used cautiously.

Fluorescent lights are the most popu-lar choice for home growers. Some newer types offer a wider light spectrum for all-

purpose use, but traditional fluorescent bulbs lack the appropriate range of light for flowering and are best suited for ger-mination and vegetative growth. Because they produce less heat, fluorescent lights are safer for plants and around children, and are more versatile and more effec-tive than incandescent bulbs while re-maining budget-friendly. These can be the best option for seed starting summer veggies. Wired to a heavy duty plastic shelving unit set up in front of a sunny widow, florescent tubes can be a very cost effective solution for seed starting.

High intensity discharge solutions like metal halide (MH) and high pressure sodium (HPS) lights provide light across the light spectrum and produce fantastic results. However, they are expensive to purchase and operate, generate signifi-

cant heat, and take up a lot of room. Ex-tremely efficient, high energy discharge bulbs throw a lot of light and the blue light of MH lights will promote vegeta-tive growth, but produce less flowering. The red to orange hue of HPS lights are powerhouses when it comes to produc-ing buds and flowers, but plants will be less sturdy. Used in tandem, MH lights are often used to promote leafy growth before swapping in HPS lights to en-courage plants to flower. I used these for years. While providing great results, I did-n't really think they were worth the in-convenience and expense.

Light emitting diode (LED) lights are the newest technology in home and grow lighting. Emitting little heat and re-quiring much less power to operate than other options, LEDs can accurately sim-

ulate the color spectrum of sunlight, si-multaneously producing the red and blue band spectrum needed for both vegetative growth and flowering. LED grow lights are expensive, but prices are coming down as the technology matures.

Grow lights are no match for a sunny day, but are a great way to extend the growing season. Select the option that best fits your budget and growing needs. Position lights carefully and, depending on the plants, leave them on no longer than 12 hours daily to best simulate ideal sunlight conditions. I found that plugging grow lights along with a fan and humid-ifier into a power strip which is itself plugged into a timer provides conven-ience and consistency for growing set up. I can almost taste those tomatoes!

Happy spring!

On March 15, 1919, members of the American Expeditionary Force con-vened in Paris, France to form the Amer-ican Legion. Later that year, a group of servicemen from Merchantville met to form a local post. From those humble beginnings in 1919, Frederick W. Grigg American Legion Post 68 continues to serve the veterans of the Merchantville-Pennsauken area.

To kick off the centennial year cele-bration, the Post held a “Centennial Gala” On Jan. 12. Legionnaires, friends, and dignitaries from across the state

gathered at the Pennsauken Country Club. Much of the 100 years’ worth of memorabilia was displayed, including the original hand-written minutes of that first meeting. Department Of New Jer-sey National Executive Committeeman Chuck Robbins spoke about the history of the Legion and recognized the Post as the first in the state to have a kick off cel-ebration. The Gala was the first of many events the Post has planned for the year.

One of the four pillars of the Legion is “Children and Youth.” February was cel-ebrated as Scout month. The Post has

been supported over the years by both BSA Troops 118 and 119. Both were rec-ognized for their support and participa-tion over the years and will be be presented with a “campership” to support their troop summer camp experience.

Later in the year, there will be a dedi-

cation of the renaming of a portion of West Chestnut Ave. as “Corp Grigg Way.” Grigg is the namesake of the Post and lived at 20 West Chestnut. August 11 was the date of the first meeting of the Post; there will be a recreation of that meeting. In addition, planning is well underway for

improvements and enhancements to the World War I and World War II monu-ments at Wellwood Park. Also, the tradi-tional flagging on veteran’s graves at four cemeteries in Pennsauken and the Post’s annual Memorial Day Service will take on special meaning this year.

Everyone loves to spoil their pets and give them treats of human food. Not all human foods are good for cats and dogs. Last month, we discussed foods not to feed dogs. This month, we consider foods that are not appropriate for cats.

The list is basically the same as it is for dogs, but with a couple of surprises. Alco-hol, of course, is as bad for cats as it is for humans. As little as a tablespoon of alco-hol can lead to problems such as liver damage and brain damage. Chocolate, es-pecially dark and unsweetened chocolate, has concentrated amounts of theo-bromine, which may cause heart prob-lems, muscle tremors, seizures, and possibly death. Fat trimmings, raw meat,

and raw eggs can cause vomiting and a painful condition called pancreatitis. There is also a great risk of salmonella and E. coli.

Grapes and raisins are very dangerous for dogs. They aren’t as big of a problem for cats but should still be out of reach. Xylitol is a sweetener which is used in a lot of sugar-free foods, especially chewing gum, peanut butter and toothpaste. It can cause seizures, followed by liver failure and even death. Caffeine is hidden in many substances around your house, in-cluding diet pills, workout powders, chocolate milk, and soda; all are poison-ous to your cat. Two laps of caffeine are all it takes; even if they get into small amounts of coffee grounds or tea bags, it can often be fatal. Protect your drinks

and garbage and make sure that if you do take supplements that contain caf-feine, they aren’t accidentally dropped them or left on the floor.

Now, here are the surprises: milk and dairy products. Cats do not produce the enzymes needed to digest the lactose in milk. This almost always surprises most people, because we have been taught by TV shows or movies to give the cat a bowl of milk. Most cats will get an upset stomach and have diarrhea. Who would have thought cats would be lactose in-tolerant? Your cat doesn’t actually know what is best for it; and since the milk tastes good, it won’t turn it down. Milk is also a contributing factor to feline obe-sity, just like in humans. The older a cat gets, the harder it is for them to process

lactose. If you happen to find a stray cat or kitten, offer it water, not milk. Kittens separated from their mothers and still need to be bottle fed, require a special milk replacement which can be bought in a pet store. Cow’s milk does not have the proper balance of caseins and whey needed by kittens.

The second surprise food cats should not have is canned fish! Contrary to pop-ular belief, canned fish such as tuna, sar-dines, or salmon are not appropriate to feed to cats. They contain high levels of magnesium and phosphorus, which can increase your cat’s chances of developing kidney infections, bladder infections, kid-ney stones, and bladder stones. Most seafood today is contaminated with heavy metals, chemicals, and potentially deadly

preservatives. Salmon and tuna fish are found to maintain high levels of metals such as mercury and iodine. Seafood can be addictive for a cat, but it is not good for them. Cats did not evolve eating seafood. Ancient cats roamed the deserts. If your cat’s diet is seafood based, they can de-velop other deficiencies as well.

The best way to prevent your cat from getting sick from any foods they should-n’t have is to simply keep your food out of reach of your cat. If you chose to treat your cat with human foods, you can fol-low some simple guidelines. The food should only be considered a treat and only given in very small amounts once in a while. Also, if you wouldn’t eat it, don’t feed it to your cat.

Keeping Human Food Away From Felines Is The Cat’s Meow

American Legion Post Kicks Off Centennial Year

By Joe Scavuzzo, Director, Department of Public Works

As Rachael and I scan the call log from January and February, I am happy to report the trend that I see regarding South Jersey Sanitation’s performance. My February article confused some readers of my grading of the new waste hauler, which was meant to acknowledge that there were deficiencies along the way, but overall, the service for the 11,000 plus stops was average. Inquires about trash collection from residents via our log

and what I see as a resident since late January has improved with each week, as expected, with familiarity of the town growing for their staff.

We did see a nice pattern in late Janu-ary where repeat misses were dwindling, but then a spike in them occurred. I spoke with South Jersey Sanitation own-ership; they informed me that they were substituting employees from other routes into Pennsauken to cross-train workers, should a Pennsauken crew call out sick or take vacation. Although we would have preferred that step to wait a couple months, looking back, there is re-

ally no “good” time for trash collection training. To use a line from the show “Se-infeld,” trash is like postal mail: it keeps coming, and coming.

The trend I mentioned above is one with fewer and fewer complaints with each passing week. Realistically, will never be at zero. We have compiled the most concentrated complaints and for-warded them onto South Jersey Sanita-tion. These include multiple misses; trash being left behind in cans or in the street; cans tossed without care; and alleyway servicing. By identifying these specific lo-cations, we can not only help out our res-idents, but also hold the waste hauler accountable if the service in these spots fails to improve.

To quantify the scale of these issues for you, I am happy to report that there are only 26 locations in the entire town that these issues apply to. South Jersey Sani-tation, at their eighth week, is currently operating at roughly the same level of weekly complaints as Waste Manage-ment did. As always, a call to our office at (856) 663-0178 will address any issues you may experience.

Potholes In Pennsauken As we look forward to the sunny days

and warmer weather of spring, Old Man Winter leaves us a few reminders of his

stay here in Pennsauken. Although the groundhog could not find his shadow, we’ve seen a week of 50 degree temper-atures and then two days of light snow.

In any late-winter article, I’d normally be reporting that Township roads have taken a beating these past few months. We have been pretty lucky so far. Al-though there are some areas our Road Patch Crew will be addressing when weather permits, the temporary warm-ups, followed by light snowfall in Febru-ary, “March” us through the remainder of pothole season.

Potholes are a common occurrence in our part of the country, mainly because of the extreme cold of our winters and the unbearable heat of the summer, causing weaknesses in our asphalt roads. When water infiltrates the asphalt and gets into the “base” layer below, the water will freeze and thaw, causing the road to heave up or sink down. Apply a vehicle weighing a couple thousand pounds and the asphalt gives out. Our town’s Public Works Department has a Patch Crew that addresses potholes on Township roads. You may notice our crew filling a pothole with temporary “fill” dirt. This is usually done to remedy the safety concern of the pothole during weather that may compromise our per-manent patch or when temperatures are

too low that our asphalt supplier is closed.

are. It’s a great element of this show.” “I like the concept of [the musical].

How playful it is and how you can make up your own character,” adds Neveah Jackson, a junior who is a part of the ensemble and sings in “Learn Your Lessons Well.” “You can express your-self in different ways.”

“Everyone’s involved. We’re all part of the play,” continues Antonio Cande-laria, a junior who plays the role of John/Judas. “No one is left alone. We’re all on stage together.”

The message of “Godspell” is very much about caring and togetherness, a fact that is not lost on its cast.

“Togetherness is one of the main themes of the show. You don’t want to just act that out on stage. We wanted to change our own personal ways,” says David Charris, a senior at PHS who plays the role of Jesus. “At first, I was looking at everything through a Biblical setting; but when I broke everything down, I realized it’s about a person trying to bring everyone together. That’s some-

thing we can all try to do.” “Come out and see ‘Godspell.’ It’s a

great show and we have some fun things in store for the audience,” adds Charris. “People are going to have a fun time, whether they want to or not.”

“Godspell” will be performed at Pennsauken High School’s auditorium, located at 800 Hylton Rd. The shows on April 4-6 begin at 7:00 p.m. There is a matinee on Sunday, April 7, at 2:00 p.m. Tickets for “Godspell” at Pennsauken High School are just $10 for adults, $5 for

students and seniors. Group tickets rates are available for parties of 20 and more; and tickets will also be available for pur-

chase at the door. For more information, or to buy tickets in advance, call (856) 662-8500 x5273.

Drivers Reminded To Yield To Safety VehiclesAccording to a 2015 study published

in the journal, Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Manage-ment, officers seated in stationary vehi-cles were at a greater risk of being injured in a crash than when they were driving at low speeds. Officers also were more likely to be injured in a crash when responding to an emergency than when driving on routine patrol.

Last month, a Pennsauken Police of-ficer was in a patrol car, blocking traffic so that the Pennsauken Fire Depart-ment could put out a vehicle fire on Rt. 130 by Marlton Pike. The police car was struck by a civilian vehicle; and both the officer and the driver were trans-ported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. As of the time this article was written, no charges were filed in this accident.

Based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3,450 people were killed by distracted driving in 2016; 391,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving dis-tracted drivers in 2015. From 2008 to 2017, 150 law enforcement officers were killed by being struck by a vehicle.

“It can be extremely dangerous for police officers, firefighters, and EMTs to respond to emergencies along our roads,” says Pennsauken Police Chief John Nettleton. “If a car is traveling around 40 miles per hour, it’s enough speed to kill someone.”

“While we train our staff to be aware of their surroundings, we can’t always notice other vehicles as we respond to 9-1-1 calls on our roads and highways,” adds Pennsauken EMS Chief Mike Coyle. “Cars and trucks can come up on us very quickly; and as we’re trying to help people, there are always too many close calls.”

In 2009, New Jersey enacted the “Move Over Law,” designed to help protect roadside emergency workers.

The law requires motor vehicle opera-tors to reduce their speed and change lanes when approaching authorized ve-

hicles displaying emergency lights. Such vehicles include police, fire and medical services vehicles, and also highway maintenance, tow trucks and official motorist aid vehicles displaying amber emergency lights. Where possible, driv-ers are required to move over to create an empty lane next to the emergency vehicle. When safely changing lanes is not possible, drivers must slow down below the posted speed limit prior to passing emergency vehicles. Drivers should also be prepared to stop, if nec-essary. Fines for violating this law run from $100 to $500 and will be deter-mined by the municipal court in which the violator is charged.

“When you see public safety vehicles blocking multiple lanes during roadway operations, please slow down and yield to emergency vehicles,” says Penn -sauken Fire Chief Joseph Palumbo. “It can save your life and the lives of our public safety personnel.” More information on the importance of yielding to public safety vehicles can be found at www.njsaferoads.com/move-over-law.

Last month, a Pennsauken Police car blocking traffic for a car fire was stuck by a civilian vehicle. Both the police officer and the driver were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Photo credit: Pennsauken Fire Department, Facebook.

The sounds, smells and tastes of Wales will delight and enlighten visitors to the historic, colonial home of the Morgan family in Pennsauken on the first Sun-day in March from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

A warm hearth and the aromas of simple Welsh farmhouse foods prepared by a skilled cook will greet the visitors first. The sweet sounds of Welsh folk tunes performed on harp by Laura Dis-hong waft from the adjoining parlor evoking the legendary bards of old Cambria. “All Through the Night” has

rarely sounded so sweet! In the opposite wing of the ancient

home, authentic and traditional Welsh foods will be offered for the tasting and kindling the “hiraeth,” or home-ward longing of Welsh heritage. While enjoying the Welsh delicacies, a dis-play about the land and language, myths and history, migrations and per-sistency of the Welsh offer food for consideration as well.

At last, the more playful and boister-ous expressions of Wales’ heritage are embodied in the pirate crew The Sea Dogs! The spirits of Captain Henry Mor-

gan and the dread pirate Bartholomew Roberts, among other unsavory Welsh-men, will be stirred by the sea shanties and lore offered by these perennial fa-vorites come ashore from parts un-known. Griffith Morgan, himself a Welsh mariner, would no doubt be pleased.

Griffith Morgan House is located at 243 Griffith Morgan Lane, off River Rd. between Delair and Route 73. Admis-sion and tours are free and there is also plenty of free parking available. In addi-tion, the Griffith Morgan House is also open for tours and research by appoint-ment throughout the year.

Visit the Griffith Morgan House and Pennsauken Historical Society pages, or the group, “Pennsauken History Forum,” on Facebook for more details and directions; call (856) 486-9561 and leave

a message; or e-mail to pennsauken [email protected]. Be sure to contact the Pennsauken Historical Soci-ety about volunteer opportunities; you too can make history!

Well, no luck of the Irish for me... at least not with getting this month’s col-umn written.

I started one and then decided it was too Irish; please don’t ask. I started an-other and it didn’t have the “oomph” I wanted; apparently, I was looking for “oomph” in all the wrong places. The third one I quit before I even started; don’t ask about that one either. So, this is my fourth attempt, and if I don’t get this one right, I plan to head directly on to my Easter column. So, here we go. Buckle up, Buttercup!

My last trip to Ireland was in Novem-ber 2018. Well, actually it was a two and a half hour layover in Dublin, on the way to my “home away from home” in Ger-many.

But, in those two and a half hours, I had fun enough to last for two and a half weeks.

I made the trip alone, but I surely was-n’t short on company.

As soon as I deplaned from my Aer Lingus flight, I knew right where to go and I headed to my next departure site... and the fun began.

Being the natural “yakker” that I am, I always find someone to talk to. And, in that small timeframe, I met a teacher

from Basel, Switzerland; a German car salesman from Weisbaden; a Danish Tour Guide from Copenhagen, ready to tour by herself in Portugal and Bertrand; and a florist from Saint-Germain-en-Laye, just a half an hour outside Paris.

Then, there was John O’Connor. John is a dear, sweet, recently retired 75-year-old gent, and I met him while he was waiting for a plane to Amsterdam to visit an ailing sister.

We introduced ourselves; he asked about my trip to Germany and who I was visiting, and vice-versa. I then asked where the best place was to grab a bit of good Irish food before I was back on the plane and still hungry. John opened up his backpack and said, “No great meals right here, but I’ve got one me missus sent along. Nothin’ like home cooking, ‘aye?”

And bless his heart, he shared the small meal his wife, Deborah, had cooked for him. It was a delight, a totally yummy dish called Dublin Coddle. It’s a soupy kind of stew filled with potatoes, pork sausage, bacon, onions, and herbs, eaten with a piece of brown bread. John shared that with me as well. And was it ever delicious! Kudos to Mrs. O’Connor, who also followed up her scrumptious meal with some homemade shortbread. I may never meet the woman personally,

but I love her. Next trip I’ll have to stay in Ireland

for more than a layover. I do so love the people there. It’s their generosity, friendly manner, and that famous Irish sense of humor.

Humor is the key in Ireland, and it’s what I love most about them; that, and Mrs. O’Connor’s Dublin Coddle.

As my time in the Emerald Isle was coming to an end, I thanked John for his kindness, the conversation, and the lovely and unexpected lunch. I then asked my new friend if he had a joke to leave me with to recall when I needed a good laugh. He came up with this one in a second’s notice, and I want to share it with you.

“Two Irishmen were driving home one night from the pub when Sean asked his friend, Danny, to check if the car’s in-dicators (turn signals) were working.

Danny promptly sticks his head out the window and says: ‘Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No.’”

I laughed again when I typed that! Thank you Mr. O’Connor, wherever

you are! Wishing you all a very happy, lucky,

and most blessed St. Patrick’s Day! Peace and love... and Dublin Coddle. ~Judy

Pennsauken native Laura White will represent the United States as an ice hockey referee at the 29th Winter Uni-versiade. Also known as the World Uni-versity Games, it is one of the largest global multi-sports competitions in the world. Second only to the Olympics, pre-vious Universiades have drawn together up to 174 countries and close to 12,000 athletes at a single event.

“I am beyond grateful for this oppor-tunity. This tournament is on a much larger platform than anything I've ever experienced because so many events are going on at once,” says White. “While I am anxious to perform well at my own event, I am excited to take in the entire atmosphere of other competing events.”

On the ice at age 3 and on her first travel team at age 4, Laura has been in-volved in the sport of ice hockey for close to 30 years. Recruited by colleges for three different sports, White chose Divi-sion I ice hockey at Robert Morris Uni-versity. After college, she got back on the ice and got into refereeing, attending dif-ferent district and regional referee camps. A year later, she was one of only six offi-cials invited to an elite camp at Lake Placid, earning a license to be a referee by the International Ice Hockey Federa-tion. Out of close to 25,000 U.S.-based hockey officials, White is one of only 28 the country licensed to wear the bands as an international referee. She has reffed in four national championships, as well as two world championships in Taipei City, Taiwan and Asiago, Italy.

“Refereeing is not something that I originally considered as a player. It was not until after college that my brother, John, really drove home all of the opportunities and camaraderie that comes with officiat-ing” explains Laura. “I actually started in the Southeast District in Virginia, where I had an amazing support group of officials that did everything they could to selflessly provide me with opportunities to succeed, before I even knew what all of it meant. I drove home to New Jersey often; every weekend that I was home, my brother made sure I had as many opportunities as I could to skate games.”

In October 2018, Laura was nomi-nated by U.S.A. Hockey as the lone ref-eree from the United States to officiate in the 29th World University Games.

That November, she was notified that she was selected as one of seven referees worldwide to officiate ice hockey in the Universiade. On Feb. 25, White left for Krasnoyarsk, Russia, which is in the cen-tral heart of the Siberian region.

“U.S.A. Hockey has provided me with so many opportunities to travel and see higher level games, between local tour-naments: districts, nationals, and now worlds,” says White. “I have worked with so many great officials that have had such a high impact on my career, I am truly grateful for them and all that have done for me, long before I knew what I signed up for.”

Pennsauken Native To Represent United States On World Stage As Ice Hockey Referee

Laura White is a referee for the 29th Winter Universiade.

By Frank Sinatra, AAP Editor

Pennsauken High School senior Nahzir Russell signed his letter of intent last month to attend Lakawanna Col-lege in Scranton, Pa, and play football for the Falcons.

“We’re here with Nahzir Russell, his family, his coaches, his friends, and a bunch of middle school kids we have back here, hoping to inspire the next gen-eration, as Naz signs his national letter of intent, to play football at Lakawanna College,” says Eric Mossop, athletic di-rector, Pennsauken School District.

A running back with the Indians, Nahzir ends his high school career with 2,875 total rushing yards, 37 rushing touchdowns, 151 total receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns, and one kick-off return for a touchdown. And while he brings speed to the football field, it’s his determination in the classroom that

provided this opportunity. “When you say the words, student

athlete, the first part is the student. When Naz came to us his freshman year, we knew athletically how talented he was; but he had a teacher that recognized some of the things academically too,” ex-plains Billy Snyder, coordinator of stu-dent services for Pennsauken Public Schools. “To Naz’s credit, he moved his GPA from his freshman year to his sen-ior year a full point. It may not sound like a lot, but it was able to put him in this seat, signing this letter. If he didn’t have

the grades, it doesn’t matter how fast or how many touchdowns he had. He was able to do it in the classroom. It wasn’t easy; it took a lot of work. I’m really proud of his ‘student’ part of the student athlete.”

Nahzir credits his parents, teachers and coaches for helping him bring his grades up.

“I really needed somebody on my back. If they weren’t there, I wouldn’t be here right now. I appreciate them very much.”

Russell, who has chosen Professional Studies at Lakawanna before selecting another major, remains committed to ending his academic career on a high note, putting in the work in the class-room to finish strong.

“It’s a relief that I’ve gotten this far, but I still have to be focused. You have to believe in yourself and listen to your parents and teachers.”
