January 2013 ALL AROUND PENNSAUKEN Page3 E D I T O R ’ S D ESK By Frank Sinatra, AAP Editor The Mayans were wrong. The world did not spin off its axis and hurtle into Frank Sinatra the Sun; giant space aliens took a wrong turn at the Van Allen Belt and missed invading our planet by a few parsecs; and the zombie invasion got postponed until summer, because the mindless horde craving human flesh was just dead tired. Regardless of your world-ending catastrophe of choice, Dec. 21 came and went, we all counted down to midnight on New Year’s Eve, and we find ourselves faced with another 365 days of opportunity. Opportunity; it’s what we all think A Word From The Editor: New Opportunities For 2013 about this time of year. You can’t help but look back at 2012, take stock of what you’ve done, and see how 2013 can be better. We do it personally. We do it professionally. And if we’re lucky, 50 percent of what we plan to do actually sticks. So with a little bit of regret, I have to admit I may have ruined the bell curve on this one. My first year as editor of All Around <strong>Pennsauken</strong> has been even better than I expected. Writing about my home town is really an awesome job. I’ve had some really great experiences, interviewing professional baseball players at the first-ever Bailey Bowl; getting a front row seat to listen to pop-culture icon Stan Lee; and talking with students from <strong>Pennsauken</strong> High School as they prepped an experiment headed to the International Space Station. There were also some stories that really made your heart heavy with sadness, like talking with the grieving parents of Michael Hagan; the loss of AAP volunteer photographer Marie Giebel; and saying goodbye to education pioneer Howard M. Phifer. If you’ve noticed, the one thing in common with these stories, other than their geography, is that people are the focus of each one. It’s the people in our community, their trials and tribulations, which not only make the stories interesting, but also highlight how great our town is. Having the opportunity to share these stories with you is a very special gift, and I look forward to another year of writing about the people that make <strong>Pennsauken</strong> what it is today. Speaking of people, I have an oppor- HOME BUYER’S SEMINAR – Saturdays at 10:00am Tips on getting a good buy and prequalifying for a mortgage. Call for a reservation tunity to work with some of the best. Our paper has wonderful contributors who share a true passion for our town. We try to offer a little something for everyone in our paper. These talented men and women make it look easy. I also wanted to single out All Around <strong>Pennsauken</strong>’s great publishing staff. There have been some late nights shared in order to get the newspaper to the printer on time, and there’s not a better bunch to burn the midnight oil with. For 2013, we at All Around Penn - sauken look forward to making the most of our opportunity to share the stories, both happy and sad, that you find in <strong>Pennsauken</strong> every day. We encourage you to continue to share your story ideas at aap@twp.pennsauken.nj.us. E-mail us your wedding announcements, anniver- saries, special accomplishments, and upcoming events; anything you can’t wait to shout from the rooftops. We also love to hear about former <strong>Pennsauken</strong> residents who have gone out into the world and made a name for themselves. Who knows? We just might be able to use it for the next edition. Also, be sure to follow us on Facebook; there’s only so much you can fit on newspaper print, and you’ll learn about many other things happening in town and our surrounding community on a daily basis. In closing, my New Year’s wish to my fellow <strong>Pennsauken</strong> residents and Merchantville neighbors is that you and your loved ones find all the great opportunities that await you in 2013. It’s going to be a very exciting time; I can’t wait to share it with you.
