allaround - pennsauken township

By Judith Kristen, AAP Columnist

Just as the clock was about to tick in an-other September 11, there in the dank,overly warm night stood one hundred andtwenty-seven people at Pennsauken’s 9/11Memorial. The crowd gathered all readyto place 2,997 American flags over thefreshly manicured lawn in honor of thosewe lost twelve years ago. Those the worldlost twelve years ago.

It was a quiet and friendly crowd: chil-dren, teenagers, young adults, older adults,and many a devoted senior as well. Theywere firemen, police officers, secretaries,business owners, waitresses, teachers,moms, dads, aunts and uncles, grandmomsand grandpops.

Former Pennsauken Mayor Bill Orthled the faithful crowd in prayers of re-membrance; and one by one, all one hun-dred and twenty-seven hands were joinedtogether. It was a beautiful tribute.

Shortly after the com memoration,those small but sturdy American flagswere distributed to each person in atten-

dance and lovingly placed on the softgreen turf that surrounds the Township’s

An Open LetterTo The ResidentsAnd BusinessesOf PennsaukenTownship

Township AdoptsOrdinances to MinimizePollution of Creeksand RiversBy Rick TaylorMayor of Pennsauken Township

For many, the start of fall is a welcomechange, as the blistering heat of summermakes way for cooler, more comfortabletemperatures. And while we certainly ex-perienced some heat waves this year, I’msure most would agree that the rain we’veseen in the last few months caused moreissues than the threat of a 90 degree day.Our region experienced the wettest sum-mer on record; that’s really saying some-thing, since official climate records for thePhiladelphia area date back to the 1800s.

In addition to the wet basements andflooding that some of our residents en-counter with these heavy rains, thesedownpours can also negatively affect ourlocal ecosystem. In fact, The New JerseyDepartment of Environmental Protectionhas determined that stormwater runoff isthe largest source of water pollution im-pacting our creeks and rivers. Rainwaterthat flows down storm drains carries withit anything that is dropped, dumped,blown, or swept into the street. Items suchas grass, leaves, oil, fertilizers, pet droppings,and all types of trash and litter will even-

tually be washed down a storm drainand into one of the creeks and riversthroughout the Township. The pollution of our waterways is a se-

rious issue; and it’s not just the trash anddebris that you find floating along thecurrent. There’s much more that youcan’t see with the naked eye that can de-grade water quality and harm local ma-rine life. That’s why every year, The NewJersey Department of EnvironmentalProtection enlists the help of municipal-ities throughout the state to remind res-idents and businesses of the importanceof protecting our creeks and rivers.

How Pennsauken BattlesStormwater PollutionThe Township has adopted several or-

dinances intended to stop pollutants

from going down the drain in the firstplace. For example, Pennsauken has hada litter ordinance on the books for manyyears. It is illegal to dump or drop litter ofany kind on public or private property.Stormwater pollution aside, not litteringis simply essential for the appearance ofthe Township and the quality of life of itsresidents. Too often, we see motoristsdump all sorts of trash into the street. Notonly is it disgusting, it’s against the law.Since trash creates serious problems

when washed down an inlet, an ordi-nance was adopted that requires dump-sters and other trash containers to becovered at all times. This not only stopstrash from blowing into the street, butalso helps keeps liquids from leachingout and getting washed into the stormsewers. We ask Pennsauken businessesto be especially diligent to keep their

dumpsters covered and to avoid overfill-ing them with too much trash.The Township also requires pet owners

to clean up after their pet. While there’san ordinance in place, this just makescommon sense. Pet waste is to be properlydisposed of in the trash. For example,when walking your dog, or taking yourfour-legged friend to Pennsauken’s dogpark, make sure you bring a plastic bag toclean up after them. Your neighbors, andtheir shoes, will appreciate the effort. But it’s not just about picking up after

your dog. We all know about the geesethat have decided to make Pennsaukena rest stop during their annual migra-tions. And they certainly leave a mess be-hind wherever they go. When washedinto a waterway, geese droppings are an-other source of water pollution. And

Gladys E. Pritchett, longtime Penn -sauken resident and community activistpassed away on Aug. 12 at the age of 89.Mrs. Pritchett’s affiliations and accom-

plishments reflected a distinguished life ofservice. She was recognized by the PolingChapel of Four Chaplains, was a lifetimemember of the PTA, and was co-founderof Homestead Youth Association. Sheheld memberships in the NAACP, Affir-mative Action, and the Pennsauken Al-liance Against Substance Abuse. Pritchettalso served as president of the CollinsFamily Reunion, president of the MichaelPritchett Scholarship Fund, was a formermember of the Camden County Councilof OEO, a lifetime member of Bethel

AME Church, and arecipient of the BronzeStar, awarded by theNational Hook Up ofBlack Women. I had an opportu-

nity to speak with Mrs.Pritchett about receiv-ing a 2013 Camden County FreedomMedal Ceremony, presented to civic lead-ers who demonstrate the ideals and ac-tions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Shespoke of her admiration of Dr. King andhow she worked to advance civil rights lo-cally. “He was someone who I really heldin high esteem. I respected him highly.”

Pritchett focused on matters both bigand small. As the first chairperson of theboard of directors of the HomesteadYouth Association, she worked with localofficials to submit grants and get fundingto erect a building for the organization onWillow Ave. She also opened her homefor socials on Friday nights, offering a safeplace for young people to congregate.“They had their parties, and believe me,they danced.”From the stories she told me in our

half hour together, you got the feelingthat this was a woman who could neverturn away a person in need, whether itwas a neighbor she knew for years or a

perfect stranger. In particular, she re-called how a last-minute phone call froma family struggling financially aroundChristmastime turned into one of herfondest memories. With the words, “I’lldo what I can,” Gladys sprung into ac-tion. And after making countless phonecalls, she was finally able to make surethat they would not go without. Andwhen she learned that the family wasgoing to be taken care of for the holidays,she said, “that was like serving me a mil-lion dollars. I’ll never forget it.” One thing Gladys told me during our

interview really made an impression. In

a way, it seems fitting that her one sen-tence could so adequately sum up a life-time of service to her community. “I willtell you this: it has been a joy reachingout to help other people.”Mrs. Pritchett is survived by John E.

Pritchett Sr., her husband of 71 years; herchildren John Jr., Patricia Walker, DianeSimpson, Deborah Brooks, StephenPritchett, Garrett Pritchett; two sisters inlaw Gertrude Collins and DortheaCollins; and 16 grandchildren and 21great grandchildren. She is also fondlyremembered by countless people thatshe helped with a joyful heart.

Mars Invades New Jersey and the Retaliation from Pennsauken!

By Robert Fisher-Hughes, AAP Colum-nist and Amateur Historian

Probably the penultimate historic oc-currence in New Jersey history aproposof Halloween was the “invasion fromMars” that landed here in 1938, secondonly to the Jersey Devil himself. That in-cursion from the Red Planet janglednerves and inspired headlines across thenation. It is not often remembered, how-ever, that less than a year later, a counter-invasion was purportedly launched fromPennsauken Township that also, briefly,made news nationally. When the GardenState struck back, the resulting debaclewas the brainchild of an eccentric ruralboy whose subsequent, equally eccentriccareer was launched at the same time.Cheston Eshelman, born in 1917, was

the son of S. Clarence Eshelman, a fruitfarmer near Carlisle, Pa. His motherBertha, maiden name Musselman, wasfrom the family that remains famous tothis day for its apple sauce. We knowfrom the 1930 census that the familyhome was furnished with a radio.

Presumably, that radio was in use onthe evening of October 30, 1938, whenthe Mercury Theatre On The Air pre-sented its special Halloween episodeover the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-tem. “The War of the Worlds” is probablythe most famous radio drama broadcastever made. In this broad adaptation ofthe early science fiction classic by H.G.Welles, Martian spacecraft landed in thesmall, rural New Jersey town of Grover’sMills, a real town, randomly selected, andlocated near Princeton.The distinctive format of the radio

adaptation secured its place in history.People who happened to tune in to theprogram after Orson Wells’ introductionand before the play returned to a moreconventional theatrical format were ledto believe that they were hearing actualbreaking news about a real invasion!Nerves that had been prepared for cata-clysm by the rising international tensionsleading up to World War II now reactedto a war unleashed from outer space. Itwas reported that numerous deceived

listeners prepared for the worst beforethe revelation that it was all just a play.Perhaps it was all an accident. How-

ever, it must be noted that Orson Wellswas never known to be oblivious to theeffects of his work on the public mind.The broadcast had the effects of sparkingpublic outrage and also launching one ofthe most theatrical careers in Americanentertainment history.In this momentous era, Cheston Es-

helman found his life on the farm a bittoo slow. Like so many rural boys, he leftfor a big city to find more exciting oppor-tunities, and little could be more excitingin the 1930s than flying airplanes. So hecame to Philadelphia and to Central Air-port in Pennsauken.Eshelman secured work at the airport

as an airplane mechanic and enrolled inthe Walz Flying School. Edward Walz,

who had secured his own license andopened his flying school shortly after theairport first opened in 1929, probablytook young Cheston as just anotheryoung man caught up in the campaign tomake the American public “air-minded.”If so, he had no idea just how “air-minded” Eshelman really was. ChestonEshelman was not inspired only byCharles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart,but also by Douglas “Wrong-Way” Cor-rigan and Orson Wells!Cheston Eshelman took about eight

hours of instruction as a pilot and he flewsolo once. Then he was ready, he thought. On June 6, 1939, Cheston Eshelman

arranged a rental of one of the planes ofthe Walz Flying School, a Luscombemonoplane. The cost was $11 per hour

and the plane came with eight gallons offuel in the tanks, enough to fly about 175

miles, reportedly. Eshelman, a formerBoy Scout, followed the motto “Be Pre-pared,” and so he wore his khaki flightsuit and carried two chocolate bars, somesandwiches, and a loaded pistol. He alsowore a long, white, silk scarf.Before taking off, Eshelman handed a

letter addressed to a Philadelphia news-paper, asking him to place it in the mail.From Central Airport, he flew to the Pit-cairn air field, north of Philadelphia, andtook on 55 gallons of fuel. He intendedflying considerably beyond 175 miles.Later that day, Eshelman’s flight ran

into trouble, he later said, when a fuelline separated. He would have to cutshort his intended flight plan, by about 50million miles.

About 175 miles off the Massachusettscoast, Eshelman dropped a note from his

The countdown to “Operation: Trickor Treat” has begun. Kids are alreadyplanning not just their Halloween cos-tumes, but their Trick or Treat route aswell, making sure to hit the houses intown that has the good stuff. To keepPennsauken’s boys and ghouls safe thisHalloween, the Township has an ordi-nance in place.

Pennsauken has a curfew in place notjust on Oct. 31, but the two days prior toHalloween. During this period, anyminor under the age of 16, regardless ofwhere they live, are not allowed out onthe streets of Pennsauken after the hourof 8:00 p.m. unless accompanied by aparent or legal guardian. Your buddywho just turned 18 isn’t going to cut it. Ithas to be an adult who’s legally respon-sible for you.

Trick or Treating is for kids, not adults.It’s unlawful for anyone over the age of14 to go out Trick or Treating, unlessyou’re acting as a chaperone. And unfor-tunately, chaperones can’t ask for anycandy or treats. They have to wait untilthey get home to help their kids “sort”the candy. Also, there is no Trick or Treat-ing after 8:00 p.m.

If someone is caught breaking the or-dinance, the “trick” they’ll get can varyfrom just a warning to a fine from $200.And that’s kind of scary.

Here’s wishing you a fun, safe timecelebrating a uniquely American holiday.

airplane onto the deck of a fishing trawlerbelow, asking the direction of the nearestland. The crew attempted to guide him bypainting a response on the cabin roof. Itwas too late, however, and Cheston Es-helman and his rented plane went into theocean. Fortunately for the intrepid youngflyer, another nearby fishing boat pickedhim up immediately, just before his the

airplane disappeared into the deep. When the rescued flyer was asked

where he had been flying when themishap occurred, his answer was straight-forward: Mars.The letter received by the Philadelphia

press confirmed his story and revealedthat he intended to fly to Mars in re-sponse to the Martian visit detailed in theOrson Wells broadcast the previous year.

He also saw Mars as a possible place ofrefuge for peaceable Earthlings in theevent of war on Earth. When asked abouthis plans, he indicated that he believed theadditional fuel would allow him to breakfree of the Earth’s gravitational pull andthereafter he could glide for the remain-der of his flight to the Red Planet. He car-ried the pistol, he said, because theMartians had a tough reputation.

Meanwhile, Mr. Walz back in Penn -sauken was rather concerned about hisplane and the trainee pilot who wasoverdue.When the news broke of the abortive

flight to Mars, it was carried on frontpages nationwide. The story in Timemagazine was titled “Trip to Mars.” Cheston Eshelman was transported

back to dry land and then back to NewJersey. Pennsauken Police RecorderGeorge Yost questioned the would-be as-tronaut and then put him in a jail cell forlarceny of the airplane and other offenses. Once out on bail, Eshelman stated he

intended to pay for the airplane, which hehad never intended to steal but only torent for his remarkable flight. When Che-

ston’s father agreed to pay for the plane,Edward Walz agreed not to press charges.Cheston Eshelman went on to be a

rather eccentric inventor and entrepre-neur, developing experimental aircraftand tiny, mail-order automobiles. Hedied in 2004.The fame of Eshelman’s ill-advised at-

tempt to invade Mars did not last long;unfortunately, it was definitively sup-planted in less than three months by thenews of a real war, when Germany in-vaded Poland.

By Judith Kristen, AAP Columnist

Having spent almost nine years livingin Germany, I long for the country and itspeople quite often. I have heart ties therefor over forty years! How could I not?I return often to visit my old friends,

but at this time of year (Oktoberfesttime) I particularly miss it.In case you aren’t familiar with the

two hundred year-old Bavarian festival,here’s a crash course for you. The date was October 12, 1810. Prince

Ludwig of Bavaria, later crowned KingLudwig, wanted his people to share in thejoy and merriment of his marriage to hisbeloved Princess Therese of Saxony-Hild-burghausen. So Ludwig organized a horserace and invited all the people of Munich. Yes, ALL of them! The royal party drew over 40,000

guests, a major event, by ordinary stan-dards way back then, but only a smallfraction of folk, considering the 8.4 millionpeople at the celebration last year in 2012. The original Oktoberfest was a glori-

ously fabulous time, and copiousamounts of food and beer were appar-ently had by all that first year. And it wasalso the talk of Munich for months andmonths to come.Well, the celebration carried on but

the horse race was eventually aban-doned; still, many of the early Oktober-fest celebrations and characteristicsremained and have even been expandedupon. Everywhere you look there is fab-ulous food, great music, plenty of won-derful people, lots of singing and dancing,fun entertainment for the children, andplenty of that world-famous German

beer for the adults! It’s quite the happening! Giant brewery-sponsored beer halls

that can hold up to 5,000 people a pieceare now commonplace and “Theresa’sparty” has also grown in length as well,to become a 16-day extravaganza! And, by the way, Munich’s Oktober-

fest is still held on the original site,dubbed Theresienwiese or “Theresa’sfields,” in front of the city gates.Ludwig and his Mrs. would be proud! So I’m sure you can understand why I

miss it so much. It’s such a joyous timefor one and all. It’s happiness personified.And, since my most recent trip to Ger-

many was just this past April and May, I’vebeen reminiscing in excess; and my friends,the lovely folks over at Java and Gems, mylocal haunt, have decided to throw theirvery own Oktoberfest in honor of goodfood, good people, and good times! The date, in tribute to Ludwig and

Therese, will be Oct. 12. Tickets and moreinformation are available by calling Javaand Gems at (856) 382-7495.You know, maybe if I play my cards

right, I’ll be able to talk my old pal andfellow AAP columnist, Bob Wagner intocoming … and maybe I’ll even finagle away so that he makes his appearance insome spiffy authentic German Lederho-sen! Now THAT would be worth theprice of admission right there, folks.Bobby! If you do, I promise, I’ll sing“Edelweiss” a cappella.Peace and Love… Über Alles.~Judy

What an incredible start to the schoolyear! I could not be more impressed with

the commitment of our school districtstaff to the education of our students. Ourstudents are excited about the learningopportunities that are provided and arefocused on preparing for their future.Our partnership between home and

school was made evident with the largeturnout of parents at our Back to SchoolMeetings. School principals presentedinformation on our Title I programs, Par-ent Access, our Parent Link emergencycontact system, District Code of Con-duct, along with information pertainingto each individual school. Parents had anopportunity to visit their children’s class-room and receive a presentation fromthe teacher. The school Parent Teacher Associa-

tion (PTA) was on hand to accept mem-berships and share ideas about programsand activities that benefit all students. I

encourage all parents to get involvedwith their school’s PTA. Active partici-pation of parents in the education oftheir children has proven to be one of thehighest indicators of student success.Continuing with our goal of commu-

nity involvement, Pennsauken PublicSchools will be participating in the an-nual Pennsauken Township Holiday Pa-rade, held on Saturday, Nov. 30 alongWestfield Avenue. All PennsaukenSchools will be represented with stu-dents, teachers, and parents walkingalong in the parade. Look for informa-tion to be provided by your individualschool principal for your participation.Last year’s parade was a great success.Let’s continue the tradition and makethis year’s parade even better.Education is a community endeavor;

I am excited about both the response ofour community members and our par-ents’ involvement as we continue “Soar-ing to New Heights.”

By Bob WagnerAAP Columnist

I’d like to think of myself as a modernman. Well informed, up on currentevents, even a bit ahead of the curve. I’dreally like to picture myself as a hip, hap-pening, hunk of a guy, but I can’t.

According to those around me, I

would be all of the above, if it were 1887.I can’t even argue with them, becausethey use words I don’t understand. Let’sstart with gigabytes. A gig is a small boatused to travel from shore to bigger boatsout in the harbor. A gig is also a demeritgiven to young recruits who don’t polishtheir shoes or belt buckles properly. And

a bite is what one takes out of an apple,or a cookie, or even some pain in the buttknow it all yuppie. But I digress.

I own a cell phone, carry a credit card,and drive a truck with an automatictransmission. All that is pretty modern.So what if my phone flips open. Hey, ittakes pictures, too. I think it can sendtexts, but I don’t know how. Actually, Ido know how, but can’t see the little let-ters without a magnifying glass.

Perception is a remarkable thing. I seemyself as an articulate, handsome, happyindividual, bringing sunshine and joy tothose around me. They, the wife and kids,see one of the two old men in the bal-cony of “The Muppet Movie.” Howcould we be so far apart and still live inthe same neighborhood?

What I don’t have is a card to get intoCostco. I was underfoot this past week-end at sister Christine’s. The 90th birthday

cake for Mom’s party was to be pickedup. I was elected. Somebody pushed di-rections, money, and a plastic card intomy pocket. I was sent away.

I found the store okay. I found thebakery, right behind the tire and car partssection, next to the big screen TVs andpatio furniture. I even found the cake.

At checkout, the lovely lady whowould soon take my money wanted tosee my card. I pulled it from my shirtpocket, proud to have rememberedwhere I put it, and handed it to her witha flourish. She scanned it like a borderguard, and asked, “Who is Christine toyou?” Momentarily taken aback, and innear panic, I replied, “My wife.” The in-dignant and now cranky checkout ladywanted to know why I didn’t have a cardof my own, and why I didn’t obey therules. Still in panic mode, and fearing I’dbe thrown out of the store for a rules vi-olation, I stuttered, “I’m just a husband.I just go where I’m told, drive, do er-rands.” She let me off with a warning, al-beit a stern one. I paid my money, turnedand smiled. “Thanks,” I said. “The lecturewas painful, but I’ll bet the article will beworth it.”

I’ll bet she thinks the article was thecake!

PUBLICWORKSImportant InformationAbout Leaf Collection,Downed Power Lines

By Bernie KofoetPublic Works Superintendent

School has started, there is more traf-fic on the local roads, and kids in uni-forms of all colors are standing on streetcorners waiting for buses. It must be fall!And we all know what also comes

with fall. Yes, the annual ritual of cleaningthe yard of the leaves.I would encourage you to consider

starting a back yard compost bin thisyear. Over the winter, the leaves willbreak down and make a great organicsupplement for next year’s garden. Onceyou have established your compost bin,it takes very little attention. After your compost pile is completely

established, consider adding you house-hold food waste. Vegetable peelings, eggshells, and coffee grounds are all goodadditions to the pile.A compost bin is a living thing and

needs two ingredients to survive: mois-ture (water) and oxygen.Mother Nature will usually provide

enough moisture in the form of rain orsnow to keep the pile moist. A few turnsof the shovel every few weeks will add thenecessary oxygen to sustain the process.This process will save the cost of pur-

chasing plastic or eco friendly paper bagsto dispose of you leaves. It will save theeffort of containerizing the leaves andhauling them to the curb.Of course, an alternative is to place

your leaves in cans or to bag them. Paperbags are the eco-friendly way to bagleaves. Plastic bags are acceptable, butpaper bags are preferred.Your bagged leaves will be collected

every Wednesday as part of the servicesprovided by Waste Management. Thereis no restriction on the number of con-tainers (cans or bags) which can beplaced out for collection.There are two restrictions that do

apply to yard waste. No yard waste willbe collected if it is in the yellow recyclingcans. Those cans are strictly for the col-

lection of comingled recyclables. The sec-ond is that cans or bags should not weighmore than 50 pounds.Public works will be cleaning the

streets of accumulated leaves beginningin late October or early November.Please do not merely rake your leaves tothe curb for collection. Our leaf collectionis to insure that leaves do not compro-mise the storm water collection system.It is critical that we clean the streets priorto any snow fall. Your cooperation incontainerizing your leaves will assist inensuring the streets are clear and safe.When you see the crew in your area,

please remove any vehicles from thestreet if at all possible.To those residents of Collins Tract and

Bloomfield affected by the PSE&Gproject, we will be working closely withthe contractor and the police to see thatWaste Management has access to maketheir collections. Likewise, we will bedoing the same so Public Works crewscan gain access.

A Reminder About DownedPower LinesSo far this year, we have been fortunate

that no major storms have brought downtrees or electrical wires. Please rememberthe first thing to do if there are wires downis stay away from them. You never knowif they are energized or not. Call 9-1-1 tonotify the police of the situation. Please donot call Public Works. We cannot do anytree removal or clean up until PSE&G hascleared the downed wire. Calling PublicWorks first only delays the process.If you experience a power outage at

your home, don’t assume someone elsehas reported it to PSE&G. Prepare byprogramming PSE&G’s phone number,(800) 436-PSEG (7734), into your cellphone. Having the number in your cell willallow you to quickly report the outage.Enjoy the fall; it is a magnificent time

of the year. Take a ride; enjoy the beautyof the seasonal change.

ALL AROUND PENNSAUKEN �October 2013

During the Aug. 29 Board of Educa-tion meeting, Patricia E. Fitzgerald ofHaddonfield was named Superintendentof Camden County Technical Schools(CCTS). Fitzgerald has worked in thedistrict for 26 years and has served asprincipal at the district’s PennsaukenCampus since 2001. She also served inthe district as assistant principal, recruit-ment coordinator, adult evening schoolsupervisor, cooperative education coor-dinator, and business technology teacher.“The success of the Pennsauken Cam-

pus has been due in large part to Ms.Fitzgerald’s tireless and competent lead-ership,” said Timothy Bell, interim super-intendent since 2012.According to Bell, under Fitzgerald’s

leadership, the Pennsauken Campus ofCCTS has been named one of the tophigh schools in the nation by US Newsand World Report for the past threeyears in a row, and the school was theonly high school in the State of New Jer-sey to be named as a DistinguishedSchool of Excellence by the USDOEand the NJDOE. In addition, last schoolyear, Penn Tech was recognized as a NewJersey School of Character by the NewJersey Alliance for Social, Emotional andCharacter Development and the Char-acter Education Partnership.“After an extensive search process, we

are pleased, but not surprised, that thebest candidate came from within CCTS,”said William Mink, CCTS Board of Ed-

ucation president. “The board is confi-dent that Pat Fitzgerald will move thedistrict from good to great, while bringinginnovative ideas to grow studentachievement, staff expertise, and com-munity involvement.” Born in Camden and raised in Cam-

den and Pennsauken, Fitzgerald receivedher Master of Science Degree and herBachelor of Science Degree in BusinessEducation from Montclair University,and her Associate in Applied Science

Degree in Business Administration fromCamden County College.She holds several New Jersey certifi-

cations including School Administrator,Principal/Supervisor, and Teacher ofBusiness. Prior to joining the staff atCCTS, she worked as an associate editorof business-related textbooks at JohnWiley & Sons in New York City.Freeholder Ian Leonard, liaison to the

Camden County Technical Schools, be-lieves Fitzgerald will be an asset for stu-dents and faculty. “Pat is an intelligent educator that

brings a great deal of success and institu-tional knowledge to the superintendent’sposition,” Leonard said. “She has guidedthe Pennsauken campus to incredibleheights and I’m confident she will do thesame for the global campus moving for-ward in her new role.”Fitzgerald is a member of the New Jer-

sey Principals and Supervisors Associa-tion, the Camden County Principals andSupervisors Association, and theMarkeim Art Center in Haddonfield. Inher free time, she enjoys spending time atthe shore, writing, photography, and art.“I have always been proud to serve

the students, staff, and Camden Countyresidents in every role that I have held inthe school district, and I am deeply hon-ored to be chosen to serve our CCTSfamily on a larger scale as the Superin-tendent,” said Ms. Fitzgerald.

official 9/11 monument. There were tears, there were private

prayers, and there were stories of lovedones lost. Pennsauken Fire Marshall Dan Kerr

expressed the thoughts of many of thepeople who were there: “Tonight showsyet again the strength and solidarity ofthe American people. This tragedy ini-tially brought us together and it contin-ues to do so. We can do nothing aboutthe loss, but by honoring those who gavetheir lives, those who fought to save lives,we create a strong sense of community.And that is a bond that can never bebroken.” And then there was young Jasmine

Miah, who lost both her Aunt andUncle in The World Trade Center onthat fateful day. “I read about this event happening at

The Memorial in ‘All Around Penn -sauken’ and I knew I had to be here. Ilook for good things to have my familyparticipate in, to carry on the good livesthat were a way of life for my Aunt andUncle. In doing this tonight, we not onlyhonor them, but everyone everywhere.We let the world see that we feel all life isimportant and meaningful, and that wemust learn to love and respect each other:all people, every day, all over the world.” And, just as the clock was about to

tick away September 11, 2013, there, onanother dank and overly warm night,faithful volunteers returned to removethe flags that will be placed again andagain on this day for decades to come.Decades from now, when Jasmine Miahwill bring her own children and grand-children, because she will never forget. Because we shall never forget.


whether you employ border collies,cutouts of dogs, air canons and the like,it still remains very difficult to get thesegeese to migrate somewhere other thanPennsauken. That’s why the Townshiphas adopted an ordinance making it ille-gal to feed them on public property.Pennsauken’s ordinance on improp-

erly disposing of waste materials pro-hibits anything other than rainwaterfrom going into an inlet. Dumping oil orother unwanted household chemicalsinto a storm inlet is not only dangerousbut also deadly to marine life. Please takeadvantage of the hazardous waste dis-posal days that the County has duringthe year. Many times, they occur right atPennsauken’s sanitary landfill on RiverRd., allowing you to quickly and easilydispose of your hazardous materials in aproper fashion.Remember, pollutants can also be

grass, leaves and fertilizers. While somethink of these as “organic,” they are infact pollutants to clean water and a dan-

ger to aquatic life. In addition, too manyleaves raked down a storm inlet can alsocause the sewer to clog and possibly re-sult in flooding. Only rainwater shouldgo down a storm drain. The ordinances mentioned are in-

tended to remind residents and busi-nesses of the need to stop waterwaypollution at the source. In addition, theNJDEP has directed municipalities tostart using the new eco-style inlets.Pennsauken has many of these alreadyin place. The openings are purposelysmall enough to stop large debris, suchas plastic bottles and soda cans frombeing washed into the storm sewer, butstill allow rainwater to pass through. In addition to the Township retro-

fitting the new eco-style inlets, businessesare also required by ordinance to retrofitstorm inlets whenever a parking lotneeds to be repaved or seal coated of aparking area is done. Pennsauken Township’s Highway

Department inspects inlets every yearand cleans those blocked by debris.However, with over 1,100 inlets through-

out the Township, the Highway Depart-ment cannot always get to them imme-diately. Cleaning off a storm inlet andplacing the debris in a trash container isa way that Pennsauken residents canhelp keep the environment clean. This isparticularly important in neighborhoodsthat are prone to street flooding in aheavy rain. The ordinances discussed in this arti-

cle can be found on our Township web-site (www.twp.pennsauken.nj.us) in theGovernment/Codebook section. Spe-cific requirements are included in Chap-ters 101, Animals; Chapter 197, Litter;Chapter 256, Sewers and Drainage Sys-tems; and Chapter 269, Solid Waste.While it is important to be aware of theordinances that the Township hasadopted to protect our waterways, it isreally up to each one of us to take re-sponsibility for keeping the environmentclean. Everyone, whether they are a

longtime resident, or a brand new busi-ness owner moving into town, has theability to help in some small way.

A Quick Word About VolunteeringWhile my main article focused on

what Pennsauken is doing to keep ourwaterways free of pollutants, I did wantto briefly talk about the importance ofgiving back.I mentioned in my February column

about “sharing the love.” And a lot of ourresidents do give of themselves to helppeople in need. Some supportPennsauken Neighbors Helping Neigh-bors. Others work with the Lions Club orhelp foster a commitment to service in ouryoung people through our local Boy andGirl Scouts. Pennsauken really does havesome worthwhile non-profits right here intown. And while they certainly value thosewho have been committed to supportingthem for years, these organizations would

love the energy and enthusiasm that onlynew members can provide.However, you really don’t need to join

an organization; taking the initiativeyourself can also make a local impact.Donate food to one of our local foodpantries, whether it’s the Food Bank ofSouth Jersey, based right here inPennsauken, or one of our many, manylocal churches. You can also drop off newor gently used clothes to agencies likeGoodwill, which also has a store in town;by doing so, you’re helping raise fundsfor employment and training programsthat help people get back on their feetand support their families.So again, I encourage our residents to

volunteer; to give of their time and their tal-ent; to help those who need it most. In orderto be true stewards of our community, wemust both help protect the world aroundus and lift up the people who live in it.

By Rachael Rivera, AAP Columnist

On Sept. 21 of this year, the lord mayorof Munich, Germany entered the Schot-tenhamel tent and tapped the very firstkeg of Oktoberfest beer, beginning a six-teen-day festival. What many people maynot know is that along with huge steins ofGerman beer, delicious traditional Ger-man food is served in massive propor-tions alongside the celebrated libations.On this side of the Atlantic, there is a

local establishment that will be featuringauthentic Oktoberfest platters and is amust on any food adventurer’s journey.I got the chance to speak with Sue

Michel of Michel’s Hometown Cafe inPalmyra, one of my favorite breakfastspots around. I find myself raving abouttheir Eggs Benedict to anyone who willlisten. Everything they make is incrediblyfresh. Each and every dish they create isdone so with love and care and you cantaste it in their food. Michel and her husband Carl are the

former owners of the German Kitchenin Maple Shade and Michel’s Kitchen inMoorestown. Their newest venture,Michel’s Hometown Café, has beenopen for a little over eight months and

already has a following. They offer anumber of great specials each day, alongwith everyday favorites like tuna meltsand club sandwiches.But what I’m really excited about is

their Oktoberfest menu, happening allthrough the month of October. Eachweek, they will feature a new platter forpeople to enjoy. The first week will be aKnockwurst and Bratwurst sausage,paired with homemade sauerkraut andGerman-style potato salad. The secondweek will feature Schweinschnitzel, a thinbreaded pork chop, potato pancakes, andGerman-style green beans. The third weekpresents Sauerbraten, a sort of Germanpot roast that has been marinated for twoweeks accompanied with spaetzels, a Ger-man noodle, and red cabbage. The fourthand final week will feature Black ForestStew, covered in a puff pastry crust. Thesemouth watering vittles are available foreat-in or take-out enjoyment, Tuesday-Fri-day from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday from 8a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to12 p.m. Though these are normally dinnerdishes, they can be eaten at any time of theday or ordered early and taken home fordinner later for a super affordable price.

Along with these German treats,Michel’s will be offering more soups forthe coming winter months. All of thesoups are homemade and include choiceslike their wonderful shrimp bisque. Noth-ing beats a soup and sandwich combo forlunch on a chilly fall or winter day. Michel’s will also feature a “Ladies

Night” on the first Wednesday of everymonth. The event will go from 7 p.m.until 9 p.m. Ladies are asked to sign upand pay in advance. The event is BYOBand will feature a psychic, as well as amasseuse. Tickets are only $20; due to thelimited amount of tickets available eachmonth, I recommend ladies call early.Sue was a pleasure to speak with and

seems to emit nothing but pride in herexperience of almost 50 years in the foodindustry. “We really appreciate regularcustomers. They’ve become more likefamily than customers.” That’s one heckof a way to explain how much they careabout their patrons. I encourage anyone who hasn’t visited

Michel’s yet to go along and join the“family.”For more information about the Ok-

toberfest event, Ladies Night tickets or

general menu questions, call Michel’sHometown Cafe at (856) 786-0222, or

visit them at 818 Cinnaminson Avenuein Palmyra, NJ.

By Pennsauken Fire Chief Joseph V. Palumbo, Sr.

Members of Township Committee ap-proved a request by the Fire Departmentto secure the funding for a capital im-provement project to replace two firepumpers operated by the fire department.This was the first capital fire apparatusproject for pumping apparatus in 13 yearsand replaces both a 1989 and 1992 modelthat were currently in front line service.The longevity of our apparatus is testa-ment to the professional maintenanceprovided by Fleet Supervisor John Stei-dler and his staff at Pennsauken’s Depart-ment of Public Works.The two new pumpers will actually

consolidate the mission of three fire appa-ratus into two properly designed andfunctional response vehicles, two pumpersand one rescue apparatus that carries hy-draulic and technical rescue equipment.

Both of the new apparatus were cus-tom built by Pierce Manufacturing inBradenton, Fl to identical specificationand capability. The specification calledfor the installation of a 750-gallon watertank, a 2000-gallon per minute fire pump,a hydraulic electric generator that pro-vides uninterrupted electric power, thestorage of 1,800 feet of various diameterfire hose, a four position 9,000 poundrated cable winch, and the deploymentof hydraulic rescue tools, saws, as well asground and elevated water monitors.The new pumpers will be placed into

service both at Fire Station 1, manned byvolunteer personnel; and at Fire Station3, manned by full time personnel, all ofwhich are trained in the special opera-tions of the various firefighting and rescueoperations these vehicles provide capa-bility for. The design of these fire appara-tus was borne out of a two-year project

by members of the fire department frommultiple ranks, including chief officers,

who provide insight and guidance, to fire-fighters that use the apparatus every day,

providing the most valuable input intofunction and efficiency.

Preserve The Last Of This Season’s Harvest With CanningBy Kathleen HarveyOwner, Plant Artistry, LLC

Fall has arrived, and akilling frost will soon be upon us. Withfresh produce prices skyrocketing, it canbe challenging to put healthy food on thedinner table now that the growing sea-son is coming to an end. Locally grownproduce can continue to be availablethrough the cold months by canning.Home canning is experiencing a resur-gence in popularity. Canning producesflavorful, high-quality food that savesmoney, supports Sustainable New Jerseyinitiatives, and creates lifelong familymemories. Canning is really just one stepbeyond cooking. It is a method that ap-plies heat to food in a closed, glass, homecanning jar to stop the natural spoilagethat would otherwise take place, and re-moves air from the jar to create a seal.With the simplest method of canning,

water bath canning, jars are filled withacidic food such as tomatoes, berries orcucumbers. Each food is combined with

vinegar and other spices, covered withlids and boiled in an open pan of wateruntil a seal forms under the lid. This ac-tion forces air out of the food and out ofthe jar to create a vacuum in an acidic en-vironment where bacteria will not thrive.Water bath canning can produce a

number of delicious foods, includingjams, jellies, tomato sauces, relishes andpickles, and it’s a great place to start.There is an abundance of expensive

canning equipment on the market.However, if you’re on a budget, there areinexpensive ways to try canning. The ba-sics are readily available at big box stores.First, canning jars, lids and bands areneeded. Jars and bands can be reused,but new lids must be purchased for eachcanning session in order to achieve avacuum. Sometimes folks will give awayold canning jars and bands, or they canbe found at yard sales, flea markets, andon Freecycle.org. Once canning jars have been ac-

quired, hand wash them to remove visi-

ble dirt if necessary, then run through thesanitizing cycle of your dishwasher. Next,get a pot that holds enough water tocover whatever size jars are being used,with a little extra room to cover withboiling water and enough space so theboiling water doesn’t boil over. Now thatclean jars are lined up on the counterand other equipment is at the ready, thenext few steps are easy: prep food ingre-dients according to the recipe; fill theclean and sanitized jars; wipe the rimswith a new clean napkin or paper towel;put on the lids and screw on the bands;submerge full jars in a large pot of boilingwater; remove and cool the jars until youhear the satisfying pop of the seals form-ing. To remove the jars from the pot ofboiling water, jar lifters are extremelyhandy, but if not available, tongs can beused. It’s recommended to wear heat re-sistant gloves and a cooking apron toprotect against splashing boiling water. Numerous recipes are available for

canning tomatoes and spaghetti sauce,

pickling cucumbers (i.e. pickles), makingrelishes, barbeque sauces, and hot sauceswith chili peppers. Once a batch is com-plete, use an adhesive label indicatingwhat’s inside and when it was made.

Store in a cool dark place until open,then refrigerate once opened. Swap con-tents and recipes with family and friends,or place a bow on a jar for a homemadeholiday gift!

By Billy Wright, Pennsauken HighSchool Athletic Director

It is generally accepted that a tie is bet-ter than a loss, even though after battlingfor 60 minutes of play, it is preferred thatone of the two opponents walks awaywith the win. The highly respected PHSfield hockey team opened the seasonwith two consecutive ties; and the girlssoccer team also opened with a tie.The NJSIAA state playoffs are deter-

mined by a complex formula thatawards points for wins and ties and resid-ual or “bonus” points for each win or tiethat an opponent who you beat earns.Ties only get half as many points as awin, so eking out a win has great rewardsover playing an even match tie.The Indians Field Hockey squad had

to come back from 1-0 halftime deficitsto score the equalizer late in the game,first against Rancocas Valley and thenHaddon Heights. In the RV game, soph-omore upstart Indigo Pascall found thenet to salvage the day; against HaddonHeights, Taylor Ursino rammed home apenalty corner pass to tie it up. All Con-ference goalkeeper Alivia Bates came upwith clutch saves in both overtime games. Girls soccer on the other hand had a

3-1 lead late in the game before givingup two goals and forcing the overtimeagainst the Overbrook Rams. AjaniMcEady, Rachel Ingram, and KrystenWalters scored for the Big Red.

Boys Soccer Wins OpenerWith the BCSL presenting PHS an

opening day bye, the Indians foundthemselves matched up with friendlyrival Woodrow Wilson to start off theirseason. Coach Billy Snyder’s squadshowed superior conditioning and depthas they wore down the determinedTigers 7-0. John Gonzalez and BrandonHarley each had hat tricks and KrisGmyr finished off the scoring. Alex Ro-driguez and Justin Hernandez eachrecorded two assists and Caleb Pancoastmade eight saves in the goal to preservethe shut-out.

Mustangs Kick Up A StormExcitement filled the air for the Code

Red football opener on Sept. 14 in frontof a large home supportive crowd, but the

Indians had trouble defensively stoppingTriton’s grinding ground game, comingup on the short end of a 26-13 score. Tri-ton consistently moved the chains with arunning game that ate up the clock andkept the ball away from the more athleticIndians. Pennsauken scored on two bigplays: Kniquan Cephas scooping up afumble and rumbling 48 yards for a score;and Deyon Edwards on the receivingend of an 88-yard pass play from quar-terback Tyee White.

IS CREMATION FOR YOU?Most people think cremation is simpler, less expensive,

quicker with fewer decisions than a full burial funeral. In somecases that is the truth. But in most cases cremation requires moredecisions because more options are available.

There are two major decisions regarding cremation. The firstis whether to have a viewing/visitation period or not. If so, thenthe embalming operation, casketing, dressing, casket rental etc.are necessary and the costs are similar to a burial funeral. If noviewing is desired the embalming and casket are not needed anda Memorial Service is usually held at the funeral home or church.Quite often families have a clergy person for the service, the urn

displayed, photos, floral arrangements and a video tribute. The second decision is what is to be done with the cremains

(ashes). Some people elect to have them buried in a cemetery;normally they can be place above or with a previous burial, de-pending on the cemetery. Cremains can also be scattered, de-pending on the location. Normally the cremains are placed insome type of container/urn. If an urn is not selected they areplaced them in a temporary urn until a decision has been made.

We have been handling cremation funerals for threegenerations. Our first cremation funeral was in 1928. Feel free tocontact us for copy of our cremation brochures.
