    Business continues to grow, even during summerBy KRISTINA SCALAThe Voorhees Sun

    As the summer reaches fur-

    ther into the season, many fami-lies are on vacation whileVoorhees businesses owners aredoing their best to attract cus-tomers during the slowest seasonof the year.

    The summer months are lessbrisk than after Labor Day, saidMike Marchitto, director of eco-nomic development and town-ship liaison to the Voorhees Busi-ness Association.

    There are 1,560 businesses inVoorhees, and the numbers, evenduring the summer, continue togrow. Its the consumer trafficthat has slowed, he said.

    Thats not to say businessesare doing horribly, he said.

    Nimit Palace, an authentic In-dian food restaurant, recentlyopened on White Horse Avenueand Gibbsboro Road. Bar.B.QTonite, an Indian-Pakistanirestaurant and hookah lounge,opened on White Horse Road.

    We have been very lucky. We

    have a lot of new businesses com-ing to town, Marchitto said.

    Two new hotels with un-named restaurants, and onewith a banquet facility, a 7-Elevenon Route 73 and Cooper Road, ayogurt shop in Eagle Plaza andmore are coming to town, Mar-chitto said.

    While vacancies are beingKRISTINA SCALA/The Voorhees Sun

    There are six restaurants sitting on Restaurant Row at the Voorhees Town Center. On Thursday, July 18, at 4 p.m. the traffic was slow, butrestaurants were ready and open for summertime business.please see BUSINESS, page 2

    Business owners offerpromotions to keep up

    with sluggish season

    filled and new businesses arepopping up, customers are not asfrequent during the summer andthe staycation has been less fre-quent as the economy slowlypicks up, he said.

    Summer is always a struggle

    because kids are away and par-ents go on vacation, said AlanCohen, Voorhees Business Asso-ciation chairperson and owner ofthe Tutoring Club. Everythingis a little quieter in town.

    According to Cohen, businessowners are doing their best tokeep up with the sluggish season,announcing special promotions.Some restaurant owners areusing outdoor seating to attractcustomers.

    Cohen said the economy hasnot reached its full potential, butthere are signs of improvement.

    He said he has noticed moreactivity in the Voorhees housingmarket in the past six months, at-tracting new families and moreprospective customers.

    Its definitely not all the wayback, he said. But I have sensedthat people are in a better posi-tion now than they were a couple

    of years ago.He said the school system,

    local activities and geographyplay a large role in attracting peo-ple to live in Voorhees. The sum-mertime activities also give busi-nesses a bit of a boost.

    Marchitto said the SummerTwilight concert series allowspeople to bring food and non-alco-holic drinks to the shows. Most ofthem will likely visit local busi-

    nesses.The farmers market at the

    Voorhees Town Center is anotherway people see what Voorheeshas to offer, as vendors are set upalong Restaurant Row.

    Its another great way to keepbusiness flowing in town, Mar-chitto said.

    The VBAs monthly luncheonsare also helping local business.Members dine at restaurants intown to help them become ac-quainted with other businesses.

    Cohen said on Aug. 21 the VBAis hosting a luncheon at ElenaWu. Previously, the group met atThe Mansion in Voorhees andhosted Christmas in July on July24 at Main Street Pub.

    He said the VBA is trying toget the business people out inthe community.

    Assocation presents the

    When are two better than one? Always,

    especially in the case of Pickles and

    Gracie, it's definitely true! These two love

    bugs are longtime friends who are loyal

    through-and-through. Even though they

    spend their time here at the shelter in twoconnected cages, you'll always find them

    curled up together in one! Both are

    enthusiastic affection-seekers who love

    nothing more than to be on the receiving

    end of pets and cuddles. Originally

    brought in as an unfortunate surrender

    case, Gracie and Pickles have spent all

    their lives together and would hate to see

    that change - they'd love to find a forever

    home looking to double their pleasure

    and adopt them both.

    The Internet is quite a powerful

    tool, but, sometimes its power

    can be used for bad instead of

    good. Information as harmless as

    facts, someones opinion or pictures of

    people having fun can turn harmful in

    a second.

    Inappropriate comments on a photo;attacking someones character, race,

    religion or sexuality; cyber-bullying;

    or straight mis-reporting facts all take

    advantage of the Internets power to

    do bad.

    Social media sites such as Facebook,

    Twitter and Instagram make it easier

    to connect people all over the world,

    and even easier to do so in a negative

    fashion.

    But, luckily, there is some good

    going on in the digital world.

    The state recently released its Uni-

    form Crime Reporting rates, and local

    police departments have attributedsignificant drops in crime to the their

    utilization of social media.

    In Evesham Township, for example,

    crime dropped 21.7 percent. In

    Moorestown, crime dropped 36.9 per-

    cent. Officials from both departments

    say their presence on Facebook and

    Twitter has helped tremendously.

    Both of those departments use the

    social media sites, as well as informa-

    tion sharing service Nixle, to not only

    notify residents of crimes, alerts and

    issues, but also as communication

    tools for residents to submit their own

    issues and concerns directly to the de-

    partment.

    Theyve found that its much easier,

    and more efficient, for residents to

    submit information on the computer

    than it is to call in or stop by their of-

    fices.

    Its great to see that police depart-ments at a local level are utilizing the

    latest technology to make their jobs

    easier and more efficient, and provid-

    ing more avenues for residents to feel

    safe and communicate with their local

    police force.

    Evesham and Moorestown arent

    the only towns with police depart-

    ments doing this; they are just exam-

    ples.

    To those departments that are doing

    the same, bravo; keep it up. To those

    that arent, its time to step up and go

    out on a limb. Its worth it.

    letter to the editor

    Parents congratulate daughter

    on her college successCongratulations to our daughter, Alysa

    Leigh Woloszyn, 2009 graduate of EasternHigh School, upon her graduation fromDrexel University on June 15. She majoredin entertainment and arts management,along with minors in business, entrepre-neurship and marketing, ending with a 3.5GPA. Drexel awarded Alysa $80,000 in meritscholarships over her four-year program.Based on her senior project, Alysa was cho-sen as a very limited group of six students,mostly graduate students, to present her

    business pitch (Ian J. Berg Business PlanPitch Competition) to a panel of Philadel-phia professional businessmen on May 22at Drexels Baiada Institute for Entrepre-neurship. Alysa was clearly noted by all asBest Overall Presentation and won $3,000

    for her business plan!For her first Drexel internship, Alysa

    worked the 2011 Philadelphia Live Arts andFringe Festival, which she thoroughly en-joyed. During her last two years at Drexelfor her internships, Alysa was employed byLive Nation, local concert/entertainmentpromoter, where she worked the first Madein America Festival on Ben Franklin Park-way in Philadelphia. She was awed at beingintroduced to legendary actor/producer,Ron Howard. She thoroughly loved her su-pervisors/mentors and will sincerely misseveryone in the Live Nation.

    Two days after Drexel graduation, Alysastarted her first career position as a digital

    coordinator at Beasley Broadcasting inPhiladelphia for WXTU 92.5 FM andWRDW Wired 96.5 FM off of City LineAve, Bala Cynwood, Pa. After only onemonth with Beasley, Alysa is very im-pressed with the company and fellow em-

    ployees, and has had the pleasure of meet-ing J. Cole, American hip-hop recording

    artist/record producer from Fayetteville,N.C, Two weeks ago, Alysa helped welcomerappers Jay Sean and Big Sean to the sta-tion and most recently met country record-ing artist Austin Webb, who Alysa said isnot only an awesome singer, hes handsometoo!

    On further note, congratulations also goout to our son Jon Vincent Woloszyn, 2013Eastern graduate who, after much debatein being accepted at three Boston-area in-stitutions, decided to attend Drexel Univer-sity this September. Part of Jons decisionwas based on Drexel Universitys commit-

    ment of $150,000 in merit scholarships for afive-year computer science program withminors in cyber-security and video gamedesign. Goes without saying, we are trulyproud.

    Seussical, Jr. musical

    tribute begins July 31Beloved characters from chil-drens literature come to life onstage in Voorhees with Seussi-cal, Jr., a musical tribute to cele-brated author Dr. Seuss.

    Produced by the Voorhees The-atre Company in conjunctionwith Voorhees CER, Seussical,Jr. is the culmination of the an-nual summer theatre program,which features more than 170

    young people ages 8 to 16 as per-formers and technicians, fromVoorhees, Marlton, Cherry Hill,Berlin and other South Jerseytowns.

    In this fantastical, magical,musical extravaganza, some ofDr. Seuss most endearing char-acters, including Horton the Ele-phant, The Cat in the Hat,Gertrude McFuzz and Lazy

    Mayzie, transport us from theJungle of Nool to the CircusMcGurkus to the invisible worldof the Whos.

    The Cat in the Hat tells thestory of Horton, an elephant whodiscovers a speck of dust contain-ing a world of tiny Whos, includ-ing Jojo, a Who child who gets introuble for thinking too many"thinks."

    Horton faces a double chal-lenge not only must heprotect the Whos from a world ofnaysayers and dangers, but hemust guard an abandoned egg,left to his care by the irresponsi-ble Mayzie La Bird. AlthoughHorton faces ridicule, danger,kidnapping, and a trial, the in-trepid Gertrude McFuzz neverloses faith in him.

    Ultimately, the powers offriendship, loyalty, family andcommunity are challenged andemerge triumphant.

    Fun for the entire family,Seussical, Jr. is one of themost-performed shows in Ameri-ca. Performances are Wednesday,July 31, at 10 a.m.; Thursday, Aug.1, at 10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.; Friday,Aug. 2, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Aug.

    3, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.Tickets are $8 each and may bepurchased at the box office onehour before the performance.

    All seats are reserved in theair-conditioned theater at theVoorhees Middle School, 1000Holly Oak Drive.

    By KRISTINA SCALAThe Voorhees Sun

    Prolonged periods of danger-ously high temperatures andhigh humidity levels have ap-peared for a good portion of July.The Voorhees Police Departmentand the Camden County HealthDepartment are trying to makesure the public is aware of thecauses and precautions of heat-stroke.

    Thats the first part. Trying toget the word out there educationwise, Voorhees Police DeputyChief William Donnelly said.

    The department also made itknown that July 31 is NationalHeatstroke Precaution Day, butDonnelly said when officers arepatrolling the streets, they are onthe lookout for signs of heat ex-haustion during the hotter daysof the season.

    Twice a year, officers sitthrough an in-service trainingthat covers first aid and first re-sponders information, Donnellysaid.

    An advisory heat alert is putout to remind officers to be on thelookout, he said.

    Camden County FreeholderCarmen Rodriquez, liaison to theCamden County Health Depart-ment, recommends the publicavoid working or playing in thehot sun. If going outside is un-avoidable, wear a wide-brimmedhat or head covering.

    She also recommends usingair-conditioning and fans andopen windows to remove trappedhot air, maintain a normal diet,shower in near skin temperaturewater and drink plenty of wateror fluids.

    Serious signs of heat stressinclude unconsciousness, rapid

    heartbeat, throbbing headache,dry skin, chest pain, mental con-fusion, irritability, vomiting, di-arrhea, muscle cramps, stagger-ing and difficulty breathing. Peo-ple experiencing these symptomsshould get to immediate medicalattention, Rodriguez said.While waiting for help, move theperson to a cool area, remove ex-cess clothing, spray with waterand fan the person. In an emer-gency, dial 911.

    Donnelly said its also impera-tive residents look out for elderlyneighbors and younger childrenplaying outside.

    We cant be everywhere. Lookto your neighbor and make sureeverything is OK, he said.

    The department is also hyper-vigilant on kids and pets beingleft in cars during the summer,Donnelly said.

    According to Kids and Cars anonprofit child safety organiza-tion devoted to preventing in-

    juries and death to children in oraround motor vehicles 33 chil-dren died in 2012 from heatstroke after being left in a car. Asof July 10, 21 children have died,including two from Canada. Thehighest number of fatalities forone year was in 2010 with 49deaths.

    Luckily, no heatstroke inci-dents have been reported inVoorhees during July, Donnellysaid.

    The department sent out an ad-visory message via Nixle regard-ing National Heatstroke Preven-tion Day. The announcement pro-vides the public with tips and in-formation on prevention, signs ofheat exhaustion and more.

    To view the full announce-ment, visitlocal.nixle.com/alert/5031946/?sub_id=1096068.
