As you read 

this article, we 

have just celebrated 

another 

major holiday, 

and are enter- 

Mayor John Kneib ing into a new 

season of cooler weather and 

ibrant fall colors. I hope that everyone 

ad a good summer and enjoyed the

The fall season happens to be my

he year. Fall brings the start of football, 

ith our state champion Pennsauken 

ndians trying to repeat their amazing 

ccomplishment from last year. The

ootball complex at “The Pit,” on 

urwood Ave. The soccer fields along 

ethel Ave. will also see a lot of activity,

now that they have been redesigned to 

rectify previous drainage problems. I 

encourage any interested parties to visit 

these complexes to see the spectacular 

transformations that have taken place. 

In the following years, you’ll be seeing a 

lot of great competitive matches on 

these fields, with the young people who 

participate learning some valuable life 

lessons, as well as having a lot of fun. 

Special acknowledgement must be 

given to Township Administrator Ed 

Grochowski, Amy Schmalbach from 

our administrative offices, and Parks 

and Recreation Director Elwood 

Martz, whose hard work and dedication 

helped to secure the necessary 

grants that helped fund these endeavors. 

And on a related note, additional 

efforts are currently in the works to 

secure even more funding so that the 

Township can begin upgrading its baseball 

fields in 2013. 

The change of season also brings 

about a new school year for all our

Famous Writer Before 

He Was Gore 

One of America’s great writers, 

essayists, and controversialists passed 

away recently in the person of Gore 

Vidal. Especially for those with a familiarity 

with his adult life and work, it may 

be surprising to know that he had a particular 

connection to our own 

Township. Gore Vidal was born 

Eugene Vidal in 1925. His father, also 

named Eugene Vidal, was an important 

figure in the era that transformed aviation 

from a private pursuit of wealthy 

daredevils or a military service into a 

means of fast, competitive transportation 

for the masses. From 1929 to 1933, 

Gene Vidal was the Executive Vice 

President of the Ludington Lines, the 

airline that developed Central Airport 

in Pennsauken to serve as its hub and as 

the main airfield for Philadelphia. 

Although the Vidal home was mainly 

in Washington, D.C., the future writer 

spent much time with his father and 

was warmly attached to another 

Ludington Vice President, Amelia 

Earhart. Little Eugene, who later

adopted his mother’s family name of 

Gore to fashion his nom de plume, 

would have been a familiar visitor to 

our Central Airport. 

Mosquitoes: 

The Battle Never Ends 

During a hot and wet summer such 

as we have experienced this year, we 

have received warnings about mosquitoes 

and the sicknesses they carry, such 

as West Nile Virus. While the major outbreaks 

of West Nile Virus have been 

happening in Texas, it might come as 

news to younger folk to learn that New 

Jersey used to be notorious for mosquitoes. 

At various times in the past, Jersey 

“Skeeters” have been suggested to be 

designated as the state bird! Mosquito 

eradication programs of the past have 

greatly reduced the ferocity of the 

Jersey Skeeter, at least in most heavily 

populated areas, and Pennsauken 

Township also played its part in those 

efforts. It was 75 years ago this year that 

the Pennsauken Township Health 

Inspector, James C. Metzger, addressed 

a statewide conference on mosquito 

eradication held at the Chalfonte- 

Haddon Hotel in Atlantic City, describing 

the efforts and success of the program 

for mosquito eradication in 

Pennsauken. He was subsequently 

commended by the Township 

Committee for his work.

tavern in Pennsauken, also

Pennsauken High School Experiment Headed To International Space Station 


An experiment designed by two 

ennsauken High School students is 

eaded to the stars. Pennsauken High 

chool is one of only 11 school districts 

cross the country chosen to participate 

n a special program designed to inspire 

he next generation of scientists and 

ngineers. 

Michelle Wan and Lacy Smith, now 

ntering their senior year at PHS, creatd 

an experiment using chicken bones 

esigned to test the effect of uric acid 

n the human body in space. By deterining 

how micro gravity affects the 

ate of bone decay, the research could 

otentially allow astronauts and scienists 

to spend more time in space with 

ess ill effects, as well as possibly help 

attle gout here on terra firma. 

“This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity 

or our students,” says Michael Ostroff, 

cience and physical education supervior, 

Pennsauken Township School 

istrict. “We’re very excited for these 

wo very talented students.” 

Wan and Smith didn’t know each 

ther until they partnered together for 

he project, which was sponsored by the 

tudent Spaceflight Experiments 

rogram, a U.S. national Science, 

echnology, Engineering, and 

athematics (STEM) education initiaive 

that gives typically 300 to 1,000 stuents 

the ability to design and propose 

eal experiments to fly in low Earth 

rbit on the International Space 

tation. The two talented high school 

students researched a completely original 

experiment, developed a proposal 

and submitted it, thinking that would be 

the full extent of it. 

“We thought it would just be a project, 

[we’d] get an ‘A’ on it and that was 

going to be it,” says Smith. “When we 

heard [we were chosen], it was unbelievable.” 

Their winning submission required 

Wan and Smith to return to 

Pennsauken High School during summer 

break on Aug. 15 to prepare the 

experiment for the trip into space. The 

high school provided the uric acid, 

while the chicken bones came courtesy 

of a local Boston Market. The bones 

were sanitized, broken into fragments 

and placed into a glass vial. The vial was 

then packed into a sealed tube that was 

also filled with uric acid. Everything 

was precisely measured and delicately 

handled. 

“You have to measure everything 

very precisely and make sure not to 

contaminate anything,” explained Wan. 

“If you don’t, the experiment won’t 

turn out the way you want it to.” 

The self-contained experiment, complete 

with instructions for the astronauts, 

will be placed on a Russian rocket 

headed for the International Space 

Station sometime this fall. Two patches, 

designed by Pennsauken grade school 

Lacy Smith and Michelle Han, two students entering their senior year at 

Pennsauken High School, prepped an experiment of their own design that 

will be tested on the International Space Station. Smith and Han are pictured 

here with PHS Principal Dennis Vinson, Teacher Peter Woodcock and Science 

Supervisor Michael Ostroff.

A School Where Your Child Will Be Loved, Encouraged, and Challenged 

students, will also accompany the 

experiment. 

Another identical tube was prepared 

and stored in the high school. Wan and 

Smith will conduct an identical experiment 

on the same day the astronauts 

do, and compare the results when the 

package returns to Earth. Michelle 

believes that the decay will be slower in 

space, while Lacy’s intuition leads her to 

think that it will happen faster. But 

regardless of the outcome, one thing is 

certain: these two young ladies have 

already made their mark in the field of 

science, with a promising career still 

ahead of them. 

“Their names will be in the record 

books forever,” explains Peter 

Woodcock, the Pennsauken High 

School teacher who helped supervise 

Wan and Smith’s proposal and experiment. 

“Hardly any students in the 

world, never mind the United States, 

have an opportunity to do this. We’re 

very honored.”

Welcome To The 2012-2013 School Year! 

By Marilyn Martinez, 

Superintendent of 

Schools, Pennsauken 

I am extremely excited 

to begin this school 

year as your Super - 

intendent of Schools. The past school 

year was very rewarding for me. I look 

forward to a very successful year of 

working with our educators and partners 

on improving student achievement. 

With the help of our educational 

leaders, the Board of Education, parents, 

and community, we will provide 

the best education for our children. 

I believe strongly in our vision statement, 

that we as a whole will prepare all 

students with the knowledge, higherorder 

thinking skills, and communication-readiness 

for college, career, and 

workforce success. 

The Pennsauken Zone PTA would 

ike to welcome everyone to the new 

chool year. The PTA is dedicated to 

he education, health, safety and well 

eing of children and youth. 

Each individual school has their own 

ocal PTA. All of the locals belong to a 

roup called the Pennsauken Zone 

TA. The PTAs meet monthly to conuct 

business and make plans for the 

oming months. 

Everyone is encouraged to attend 

hese meetings to find out what’s going 

n in your school, and what you can do 

o help. Please make yourself familiar 

ith PTA Planning Meetings. 

PTA Membership Enrollment 

egins in September. As a member of 

he PTA, you are a part of a network of 

ocal, state, and national associations 

This summer, we implemented several 

programs into the district’s curriculum, 

including the Read About 

Program, a computer-based program 

by Scholastic, and the First in Math 

Program, which provides hands-on 

computer math support for students in 

grades kindergarten through sixth. 

Each of these programs was put into 

action to improve student reading, writing 

and math skills. In addition, hundreds 

of students participated in our 

summer school programs at the elementary, 

intermediate, middle school, 

and high school levels. The program 

was successful in providing enrichment 

and course completion for all. 

This new school year, we are implementing 

a positive behavior incentive 

program in our schools. We aim to 

improve attendance, positive student 

that can help you convert your concerns 

for children into effective action. 

You can accomplish many important 

things for your children, simply by 

becoming a member. Watch for flyers 

being sent home through your school. 

In no time, you will be receiving 

some type of fundraising project for 

your school PTA. PTAs raise only 

those funds that are necessary to meet 

the needs of the year’s activities and 

projects as outlined in their budget. 

The safety of our children is our main 

concern. Children should never go 

“door to door” with their fundraising! 

Parental involvement is very important. 

Please take the fundraising flyer to 

work or ask friends, etc. 

The PTA and your children need 

your support!

behavior, and academic achievement. 

We are proud of our students and staff, 

and our overall nurturing, safe school 

learning environment. 

We are also currently participating in 

a pilot program with the New Jersey 

Department of Education and the 

Office of New Jersey Homeland 

Security. A district-wide task force has 

been created to work along with the 

Department of Education over the 

next eight months to enhance our existing 

district school safety and security 

plan. Pennsauken was selected as one 

of sixty Tier 1 districts to participate in 

this initiative. We aim to collaborate 

with the Township’s leadership and 

emergency services to develop a plan 

that will become a model for other districts 

in the state. 

The Facility Department has been 

Pennsauken students will soon be 

eating more fruits and vegetables, during 

the 2012-2013 school year, thanks to 

a special program. 

The Pennsauken School District is 

the recipient of grant offered by the 

New Jersey Department of Agriculture 

that will allow students to enjoy fresh 

fruits and vegetables twice a week in 

the classroom as snacks. The goals of 

the program are to increase children’s 

fruit and vegetable consumption, create 

working hard this summer in preparing 

our school buildings for a safe and 

secure opening in September. Class - 

rooms have been cleaned, and floors 

waxed and polished in anticipation of 

the over 5,000 students that will be 

arriving on Wednesday, Sept. 5 for the 

first day of the new school year. The 

Transportation Department has finalized 

bus routes and mailed out bus 

passes to students who will be riding 

buses. All buses will be ready for operation. 

The Food Service Department has 

prepared the kitchens, and developed a 

new lunch menu which will meet new 

federal guidelines for nutrition. We 

want our students to grow healthy 

minds and bodies. 

Please be sure to involve yourself in 

your child’s education. A parent is the 

first leader in a child’s educational 

healthier schools, promote wellness, 

and change children’s diets to impact 

their future health. 

Along with the fresh fruits and vegetables, 

each classroom will receive an 

information packet containing fun facts 

on where the fruit or vegetables are 

grown and what health benefits they 

contain. 

Parents are also encouraged to 

extend their child’s fruit and vegetable 

experience by encouraging fruits and 

growth. Make plans to attend your 

child’s Back to School Night to meet 

their teacher, and receive an overview 

of the course of study offered in their 

classroom. The Athletic Department 

will be sharing information about sport 

activities and participation opportunities. 

The dates and times for each Back 

to School Night are listed in this issue of 

All Around Pennsauken. 

With the support of the Board of 

Education, the district has been able to 

provide quality programs with needed 

staff and materials to enhance the academic 

success of our students. It is my 

hope that the coming school year will be 

productive and successful year for both 

students and their families. 

Welcome back students and families! 

Have a great school year!

The Wheels On Pennsauken Buses Go Round And Round 

The Pennsauken Transportation 

epartment has been working hard all 

ummer, scheduling student bus assignents 

and making sure all our buses 

re in tip-top shape for transporting 

early 6,000 students to and from 

chool each day. 

Our school bus drivers have received 

heir assignments for the 2012-2013 

chool year, and are already practicing 

heir routes. 

School bus drivers have a very chalenging 

job. They are responsible for 

he safety and well-being of the stuents 

in our schools. The drivers have to 

aneuver through traffic, regardless of 

oad or weather conditions, while at the 

ame time upholding the conduct of the 

tudents on the bus. 

Our students are educated on the 

roper way to enter and exit a school 

us, and it is the responsibility of the bus 

river to ensure that the students follow 

hese rules. 

For the safety of our students, if a parnt 

is not at the bus stop at the assigned 

ime to greet their child, the school bus 

river will hold the student in their care 

ntil the parent arrives or the child will 

e returned to school. In the event of an 

mergency, the students look towards

Ah, September… The crispness of 

utumn is calling, kids are returning to 

chool, or attending for the very first 

ime, and teachers are thinking hard 

about the year to come. 

It’s not easy being a teacher. You’re 

part taskmaster, part parent, part nursemaid, 

part diplomat, part psychiatrist, 

and part entertainer. 

The job is both rewarding and wearing, 

but it’s the best job on earth. 

This month’s column is my love letter 

of sorts to those wonderful souls 

who not only stretch hearts and minds 

and create dream-makers, but also 

teach a joy for art, mathematics, science, 

reading, and writing. 

This summer, I put my own teaching

skills to work by tutoring a lovely 

young lady named Cassidy, a student 

from the Cherry Hill section 

of our fair state. 

Cassidy was every teacher’s 

dream: eager to learn, bright, a 

reader, fun, funny, sweet, kind, 

and courteous. She already has 

dreams for her future and she 

wants to become an author. 

Can’t say I blame her. I’ve 

authored almost two dozen 

books and the joy of it is neverending. 

Looking forward to the 

inspiration for a new story to write is 

inspiration in itself. 

Cassidy is actually working her way 

to her first novel. She’s in the process of 

writing a delightful story, fashioning 

numerous interesting characters and 

their life situations. She even created 

the entire magical and mystical world 

where her story takes place, not a minor 

task by any means, particularly for a 

twelve year old. 

Oh, sure, Cass had a few minor issues 

with punctuation, flow, and narratives. 

Her dialogue needed a bit of work, but 

she had all the necessary basics within 

her. And she accepted my input, my 

badgering, and my delicate and artful 

criticism, a hearty sign of maturity on 

Miss Cassidy’s part. 

But, not all teachers are fortunate 

enough to have a “Cassidy” in their 

class, nonetheless a room full of them, 

but it is what it is. 

And teachers... for those “non- 

Cassidys” who will soon be seated in 

your classroom? Those kids who are 

tough to teach? Those who have a bad 

attitude? Those who seem to live forever 

in left field without a clue as to where 

home plate is? There is where your 

life’s work lies. 

Cassidy, a lovely, talented young lady with a 

keen knack for writing. 

I myself was once a tough kid to teach. 

I know I was. I was odd and edgy, basically 

a good kid, yet still a genuine challenge 

to the teachers who surely grimaced the 

moment they saw my name on their roster 

for the upcoming school year. 

But, underneath the masks I often 

wore out of necessity, beat the heart of 

a willing student who so wanted to do 

well, to be appreciated, and to finally fit 

in somewhere. 

So, for all of the “Cassidys” you will 

be blessed to have over the course of 

your teaching career, I say, good for 

you! And, for all of the “Judys” you are 

sure to run into, those kids who just 

don’t seem to fit in to the normal 

scheme of things, be patient. Think back 

to why you became a teacher in the first 

place. Look beyond the classroom 

struggles and see within that child’s 

eyes the hope and promise and the final 

destination of a beautiful and fulfilling 

future that you and only you, as an educator, 

have the power to give. 

Remember, God couldn’t be everywhere, 

so he created teachers. 

See you next month!

WAGSWORLD 

By Bob Wagner, AAP Columnist 

Some of my 

best and most 

endearing memories 

revolve 

round Sunday dinners at 

randmom’s. I don’t know how or 

hen it all started. I was the first grandhild, 

followed quickly by nine more. 

y earliest memories are of great 

mells, jars of candy easily accessible to 

ids, lots of legs and loud talk. Moms, 

ads, aunts and uncles, and kids were 

verywhere. Grandmom Ethel superised 

the kitchen. Pop Lee, pot bellied, 

ead wreathed in cigar smoke, grumled 

around the house, supervising 

everything else, his deep voice daring 

anyone to disagree. He used to say, “I 

work hard all week, buy all the groceries, 

pay all the bills, and keep the 

wolves from the door. Then Sunday 

comes and everyone goes to 

‘Grandmom’s’ for dinner.” It was so 

common a complaint that it became as 

much of the fabric of our lives as the 

smells wafting from the kitchen, and the 

sound of adult talk at the table. 

Pop Lee was a grumbler, but always 

conveyed it with a secret smile. None of 

the adults took it seriously. The kids, 

crawling or running underfoot, didn’t 

seem to notice. They just absorbed 

everything; food, candy, conversation, 

and cigar smoke, as youngsters do. 

Now, 60 years later, I find myself 

exiled to the front steps. Cigar smoke is 

no longer tolerated. Loud adult conversation 

mingles with childish giggling 

from the living room. I overhear my 

youngest granddaughter telling her 

uncle that she just loves coming to her 

grandmother’s for dinner. The smell of 

a roast wafts through the door. I have 

just paid the taxes, public service, the 

water and sewer bill, as well as delivered 

the food for the feast. The sweet 

little girls, egged on by the laughing 

adults, come out to the front steps to

ask, with a sly edge, why the uncles and 

aunts say I am so grumpy. “Don’t you 

like it when we all come to 

Grandmom’s for dinner, Bert?” They 

mask their growing use of sarcasm, 

which I attribute to their Nana, in beautiful 

young smiles, with traces of chocolate 

on their lips. 

There is no answer. I am caught in a 

time warp. Historians say if we fail to 

learn from history, we are condemned 

to repeat it. Here I stand, a relic of the 

past, suddenly looking and feeling just 

like my own grandfather. And much 

like an old movie rerun in my mind, I 

adjust my glasses, blow out some cigar 

smoke, and grump out a retort. “Go on 

in there and ask your old Grandmom if 

there is any chance I can get some of 

that roast I bought before all you freeloaders 

eat it all up.” 

As the adults chatter, kids run under 

the table, and the clatter of dishes and 

silverware fill the air, I am once again 

grateful to be a part of dinner at 

“Grandmom’s.”

From Famous Writers To Pesky Skeeters: A Historical Assortment 

continued from page 6 

75 years ago in his capacity as President 

of the New Jersey Licensed Beverage 

Association. Speaking to his fellow 

saloonkeepers, Deighan warned that 

there was an active and influential “dry 

movement,” hoping to restore a form 

of prohibition to the Garden State. He 

urged his colleagues to responsibly 

police their own operations to avoid 

providing a pretext for legal restrictions. 

In particular, he opposed lowering 

the drinking age from 21 to 18 and 

also decried the use of female “gyppers” 

by barkeeps. These were women 

who frequented bars in order to boost 

business by getting male patrons to buy 

them a drink. However, the bartender, 

who was in on the scheme, would serve 

a non-alcoholic substitute to the lady, 

while charging full price for the drink. 

The difference would be split between 

the establishment and the “gypper.” 

Female troubles of a different kind 

descended on another Pennsauken 

tavern. The Red Hill Inn had its license 

suspended in May 1937 after a private 

banquet held by an unspecified organization 

in the second-floor dining room 

of the inn featured “two girls not properly 

clothed.” Crediting the owner’s 

testimony that he was not aware of that 

feature of the entertainment arranged 

by the organization in question, the 

Township Committee imposed only a 

five-day suspension. In later years, this 

same Red Hill Inn became a legendary 

venue for jazz. 

The Old Mill Inn was not the only 

restaurant Neil Deighan ran in 

Pennsauken. A few years later he 

opened a night club called “Neil 

Deighan’s” near Central Airport. That 

building subsequently housed “Club 

Shaguire,” and later another restaurant 

before it burned to the ground in March 

1962. Even its ruins caught fire twice 

more that year during demolition, calling 

out the Highland and Bloomfield fire

companies in response. Fortunately, the 

restaurant was rebuilt, re-opened, and is 

still in operation 50 years later, serving 

char-broiled steaks as the well-known 

“Pub” at the former Airport Circle. 

From Pixie to Chanteuse 

Having begun this historical assortment 

by reference to a school fair, it 

may be right to end the same way. Fifty 

years ago, the fledgling St. Stephen’s 

Church on Browning Road held its 

second annual bazaar to raise money 

to continue its construction of a school. 

The family amusements and stringband 

music provided a carnival venue 

for the appearance for a major local 

celebrity of the day: WCAU television 

children’s show hostess Pixanne. 

Pixanne was the alter-ego of Jane 

Norman, who continues to appear 

locally and perform, without the green 

pixie suit and feathered cap, as a singer 

of romantic songs and ballads. St. 

Stephen’s School also continues to 

educate children as part of the Camden 

diocese and celebrates its 50th anniversary 

next year. 

Sources for this column were drawn from 

contemporary news accounts and also from 

the Jane Norman Official Website and the 

website of St. Stephen’s Parish.

Westfield Avenue Embraces Diversity, Strives For Growth 

By Albert Dadson, AAP Intern 

It is a usual morning in Pennsauken. 

n Westfield Avenue, the stores, busiesses, 

and mini markets are getting 

eady for their day. Add into the mix all 

he different stores that cater to specific 

thnic groups, these small businesses 

re hard at work to build a vibrant and 

onvenient main street that appeals to 

he entire community. 

A Wide And Diverse Avenue 

Culture is one of the things you can 

clearly see on Westfield Ave. Many of the 

restaurants appeal to a specific clientele. 

For example, restaurants, La Hacienda, 

Nica and Bánh Mì Cafe, predominantly 

have Nicaraguan, Mexican and 

Vietnamese customers respectively. The 

cultural appeal provides their main 

source of income. It also helps to build 

continuity between the customer and the 

Washer & Dryers Refrigerators Dishwashers Gas & Electric Stoves 

Dehumidifiers TV’s Microwaves All Small Appliances and much more! 

store, creating a familiar and comfortable 

atmosphere, where customers can get a 

“taste of home.” This also provides an 

opportunity for others not familiar with 

the cultural cuisine, to try something different 

without traveling too far for the 

experience.

that have been in town for 

over 60 years, both businesses 

and local organizations 

are looking to help draw in 

both additional stores and 

customers. 

Carlos Rodriguez, a local 

architect and member of the 

Delaware Gardens Steering 

Com mittee, is working to help 

improve the avenue as we 

know it. The committee has 

worked closely with local nonprofit 

Urban Promise, in order 

to develop a community neighborhood 

plan for the sections of Pennsauken that 

span from Browning Rd. to 36th St., and 

Route 130 to River Rd. While the survey 

and the recommendations are not binding, 

it provides an intriguing vision to how 

areas like Westfield Ave. can further development. 

Rodriguez wants to see Westfield as, 

“a vibrant central business district,” and 

spoke of three specific strategies to help 

spur on growth: restoring community 

and cultural events; act as a catalyst in 

supporting existing municipal economic 

development activities, and re-establishing 

the corridor’s image as “The Avenue.” 

“I’d like to see ‘The Avenue’ brought 

back as the central business district to 

the Township, bringing back a nice 

diversity of businesses that are missing 

on the corridor.” Rodriguez suggested a 

bakery like Bean’s Bakery, which used 

to reside along Westfield Ave., and possibly 

a hardware store. 

Other ideas that are being considered 

include a “Taste of Pennsauken” 

event, highlighting the many different 

food purveyors along the avenue, such 

as Troy’s Place, Fabrizio Pizza, 

Montegrillo Cucina Italiana, Bobby 

Westfield Avenue, a vibrant and diverse business 

district in Pennsauken looking for ways to grow. 

Ray’s and Costa’s Food Market. A 

community center was also on the wish 

list, which could offer theatre, arts, 

music, and dance, as a way to bring the 

community together. 

Rodriguez stated that many of these 

ideas did not currently have a support 

system or the funding in place to begin 

these changes. Still, he hoped that the 

ideas generated from the Delaware 

Garden survey results would help spark 

conversation among businesses and 

community leaders to move the vision of 

a Westfield Ave. business district forward. 

And while the vision of Westfield’s 

future is still being clarified, the Westfield 

of today remains a great place for 

businesses. Lan Chau, owner of the 

newly opened Lan Pharmacy, says that 

Westfield is a, “great neighborhood 

for business.” 

And as long as new businesses continue 

to open their doors along 

Westfield Ave., and community leaders 

strive to improve the town they live and 

work in, Pennsauken should continue to 

thrive and grow in this flourishing 

neighborhood.

By Bernie Kofoet, Public 

Works Superintendent 

As we begin September I hope 

everyone had a great summer. 

Hopefully you had the opportunity to 

take a vacation, go away with your family, 

come back refreshed and ready to 

head into fall. 

July and August had very drastic 

weather changes, with cold and warm 

fronts passing through the area almost 

once a week. While this did give us 

refreshing breaks from summer heat, it 

also caused an unusual number of trees 

to come down, along with numerous 

power outages. 

When a tree comes down, Public 

Works usually finds out about it from 

the police department. Either I or my 

assistant will be notified of the situation 

and will respond to investigate. Many 

times when we respond, we discover 

that the location is the jurisdiction of 

another agency, usually Camden 

County Public Works. 

It is also important for us to verify 

that the work zone is safe for our 

employees. If there are any power lines 

that are down or entangled in the tree 

the police are asked to notify PSE&G. 

We are not permitted to touch a tree 

until all power has been shut down. 

Regardless of when we receive the 

notification, day or night, weekends or 

holidays, the process is the same. Often 

the busiest time is the days following 

one of these storms. In the days following, 

we will receive calls about branches 

that have come down and are along the 

side of the road. Or, we will receive calls 

about branches which have broken off 

but are hung up in the crown of the tree, 

which pose a hazard if they were to drop 

onto a vehicle passing below. 

While we are not permitted to 

remove trees or debris on private property, 

we will assist with post storm clean 

up. If a tree comes down on private 

property, we will remove debris provided 

the property owner gets it to the curb. 

Many calls are received after a storm 

by homeowners who want a tree 

removed from in front of their property. 

Curb line trees are the responsibility of 

the homeowner. If you believe a tree on 

your property is a hazard, you may 

remove it yourself or call a private contractor 

to have it removed. As is the case 

when dealing with any contractor, make 

sure they are a reputable company. We 

often come across piles for tree debris in 

the street. When we investigate with the 

homeowner,we find that it was some 

fly-by-night contractor who knocked on 

the door, offered a cheap price to take the 

tree down, and told the homeowner they 

would be back to chip the debris, only to 

disappear after having been paid in full, 

leaving the homeowner with a mess to 

clean up. Also, please make sure that 

they have proper insurance coverage in 

case there is a mishap during removal. 

We do offer as a courtesy, a program 

for the removal of curb line tree at residential 

properties. If you are interested in 

possibly having a tree removed call or email 

us. We will come to your property to 

inspect the tree. If it meets our removal 

criteria, you will be asked to sign a release 

form and it will be added to the list. 

If the tree is near any power lines, 

PSE&G has a private contractor who 

would assist in the removal. 

Once on the list, it can take up to 18 

months before the tree is removed. But

Plant Fall Crops To Still Enjoy Summer’s Bounty 

By Kathleen Harvey, 

Owner, Plant Artistry, LLC 

The summer heat has broken, and 

utumn will soon be upon us. But 

here’s still ample time to enjoy your 

wn backyard bounty. Fall is a great 

ime for gardening, thanks to cooler, 

ilder temperatures, a decrease in garen 

pests, and moist, well-draining soil. 

ool weather crops grow and taste best 

hen temperatures are below 80 

egrees Fahrenheit, especially when the 

rops are maturing. Choose varieties 

hat mature quickly for best results. 

Prepare the garden for fall planting 

by removing plants that have stopped 

producing. Note where everything was 

planted and be sure to rotate crops. 

Level the ground after pulling plants, 

and remove weeds. Loosen compacted 

soil by fluffing it with a pitch fork or garden 

hoe. Major tilling isn’t necessary; 

just loosen soil sufficiently to enable 

new plant roots to grow. Add amendments 

such as compost to enrich the soil 

with fresh nutrients. If using a cold 

frame or hoop, set it up early so plants 

won’t risk damage once they begin to 

grow. Alternatively, dark landscaping

Spinach 

Favored by the cartoon hero Popeye, 

Spinach is related to beets and Swiss 

chard. Among the world’s healthiest 

vegetables, it is rich in vitamins and minerals, 

including Vitamins K and A. It also 

contains concentrations of manganese, 

magnesium, iron, as well as nutrients 

such as beta-carotene that provide powerful 

antioxidant protection. Maybe 

Popeye was on to something! Although 

spinach prefers full sun, it’s one of the 

few vegetables that produce a 

respectable harvest in partial shade. 

Peas 

Give peas a chance! There are several 

types of peas, including snap peas and 

pod peas. Pod peas need shelling when 

they are mature. Once the pods are 

shed, the peas can be frozen, cooked, 

canned or boiled. Snap peas have edible 

pods. They can be left on the plant 

to swell and be used like pod peas, or 

they can be stir-fried or eaten raw in salads. 

Peas like nitrogen-rich soil, so 

adding a nitrogen-rich fertilizer can 

help pea production. 

Carrots 

When most people think of carrots, 

they think of long orange ones. But 

there are many varieties that can be 

grown, from the long thin style to smaller 

thumb sized carrots, in colors ranging 

from red to yellow to white and the 

familiar orange. Carrots prefer cool 

weather for the best germination and 

growth. They tend to take a long time to 

germinate, sometimes as long as two

organizations, such as the Pennsauken 

High School All Sports Booster Club, 

Pennsauken Youth Athletic Activities 

Board, Pennsauken Alliance for the 

Performing Arts (PAPA), and Penn - 

sauken Fire Department. 

Just days after hearing of her death, 

the Pennsauken High School Boosters 

Club, where she was vice-president this 

year, voted to name an academic scholarship 

in Marie’s name to be presented 

to a worthy PHS scholar-athlete this 

school year and into the future. 

In addition, friends of Marie Giebel 

joined together to hold a beef and beer 

fundraiser and silent auction from 

7 p.m. to midnight on Saturday, Sept. 22 

at Fire Station 4 Delaware Gardens, 

540 49th St. Proceeds from the event 

will help her family pay for the many 

outstanding bills caused by Marie’s 

illness. 

Athletic Director Billy Wright said 

Marie, in addition to being a Boosters 

board member, did many things at the 

schools, taking pictures of kids playing 

high school sports and sharing them 

with the kids and parents. 

“She’d be at the big events, football 

games. She would file pictures for AAP 

and then make pictures and send them 

to me,” Wright said. 

“She was just a great person and so 

supportive of us,” he said. 

“Even when she was ill, she had a 

good disposition and was always positive. 

She never said a bad word about 

anybody. She was a good person.” 

Karin Kane is one of the benefit 

organizers, along with her daughter, 

Kaylyn. 

“We’re trying to do more than just

said. “We’re trying to help them with

financial expenses that have arisen 

from Marie’s illness.” 

Kane was a close friend. The two met 

when their children were active in 

PAPA. 

They became closer during the past 

two years, even though they had 

known each other for 10 years and had 

lost frequent contact. 

When she heard of the diagnosis, she 

called Marie. 

“I kind of forced myself on Marie at 

first so she knew she had somebody. 

After a couple of months we kind of 

grew on each other. Then the last two 

years, we’ve been very close.” 

For those who knew Marie, hugging 

was not something she did but Kane 

said whenever she saw her in the hospital

It was then, she said, that Marie 

decided to try her hand at photography. 

“She started taking pictures and they 

turned out pretty good so [her children] 

got her a camera for Christmas.” 

She said parents would ask, “Who 

that was out in the field taking pictures?” 

“I said, ‘that would be Marie.’ We had 

some good times with her; rain or sleet, 

she would be out there with the kids 

and she got good at it,” Pegues said of 

Marie’s photography. 

“Marie would give the pictures to the 

kids until we finally talked her into setting 

up a web site so people could purchase 

the photos. 

“She still gave the pictures away,” 

said Pegues, laughing about Marie’s 

generosity. 

Through the years, Marie stayed with 

PYAA, eventually serving on the board 

as publicity chairman. 

“She (Marie) always came up with 

some kind of idea. She was so intelli- 

gent,” said Pegues of serving on the 

board together. 

“And she told you exactly what was 

on her mind. She was one of a kind. She 

gave you that look … She was a good 

person.” 

Pennsauken Fire Chief Joseph V. 

Palumbo Sr. said, “Mrs. Giebel (Marie) 

was a kind and dedicated resident of 

Pennsauken, proud of her husband and 

children’s involvement in our fire 

department.” 

She was always there supporting 

department events and documenting 

many fire calls with her “artful photography.” 

“Our thoughts and prayers are with 

Joe, Andrew, Megan and Chris.” 

From 2004 to 2010, Marie spent a lot 

of her spare time volunteering for All 

Around Pennsauken. 

Her photographs were outstanding, 

particularly of sports. The quality and 

standard of her work matched any of

SENIORCORNER 

Camden County Senior Fair To Be 

Held In Pennsauken 

By Sonny DiSabato, Senior Citizen Coordinator 

Hello fellow seniors. The annual 

Camden County Senior Fair will be held 

on Wednesday, Oct. 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 

p.m. at Cooper River Park. By showing 

your Medicare card, Camden County 

residents can receive a seasonal flu shot 

for free. In addition, the fair features 

health information tables, games, and 

prizes. Health screenings will be provided 

for issues such as blood pressure, cholesterol, 

vision, and diabetes. There will 

also be information about prescription/ 

ical equipment, financial/consumer 

weeks to push through the soil. Carrots 

are better when planted with radishes, a 

quick growing crop that does a few 

things for the carrots. First, radishes 

mark the rows so the carrot bed can be 

weeded while waiting for carrot’s long 

germination time. Second, radishes 

push and break up the soil so the carrots, 

which are weaker in stem strength, 

can push up more easily and readily 

through the soil. Carrots take two to 

three months to fully mature, but can be 

picked early as baby carrots. The greens 

are often tasty treats for deer and rabbits, 

but they can be covered, or onions 

can be planted among them to keep 

these animals at bay. 

Cole Crops 

Collard greens, Broccoli, Broccoli 

Raab, Cauliflower, Cabbage, and Kale 

information and social service programs. 

Golf carts will be available upon 

request to assist individuals from their 

car to the fair, courtesy of Pennsauken 

Township. Boxed lunches will also be 

available. For lunch tickets or for more 

information on the event, please call 

856-858-3220. 

Good health and best wishes for an 

enjoyable close to the summer season. 

Please be mindful of the buses and 

students returning to school and say a 

special prayer for our men and women 

serving in the armed forces. 

Local AARP Chapter Provides 

Invaluable Support For Area Seniors 


With the arrival of fall, AARP’s over 

,000 local chapters come back into sesion 

to serve the needs of local commuities 

across the nation. Pennsauken is no 

xception, as AARP Chapter 2861 helps 

rea seniors stay active and connected. 

“The [Pennsauken] Chapter has 

aken care of senior affairs for over 35 

ears,” explains Erlinda Hair, former 

president of the organization. “With 

over 115 members, we’re the largest 

senior organization in Pennsauken.” 

AARP meetings are held monthly, 

and are an informative resource, with 

guest speakers discussing issues and 

events that are important to seniors. 

“The AARP meetings are where a lot 

of people in town learn about what goes 

on in the community,” explains 

Rosemary Pericles, first vice president. “It 

keeps them abreast of what’s going on in 

the state, as well as locally and nationally.” 

The meetings also have an element 

of fun, with refreshments and entertainment. 

Evelyn Brandt, program chair, 

arranges for musicians, dance troupes 

and other performers to get seniors 

socializing and active. There are also 

special luncheons and trips held 

throughout the year. 

AARP Chapter 2861 will meet on 

Monday, Sept. 10 at the Pennsauken 

Methodist Church Hall, 3541 Penn - 

sylvania Ave. Social time is 12:30 p.m. and 

the meeting begins at 1:00 p.m. Carol 

Rocco, Moorestown visiting nurse, will 

discuss the topic of stress management. 

Plant Fall Crops To Still Enjoy Summer’s Bounty 


are grouped together because they are 

very similar in culture and growth. Cole 

crops like full sun and well-drained soil. 

Most importantly, though, they prefer 

fertile soil. A week or so before planting, 

work a layer of compost into the 

bed. These plants often grow to be two 

or three feet high and just as wide, so 

give them plenty of space. 

With preparation and some diligence, 

you and your family can enjoy 

fresh, low-cost produce well into fall. 

Composting Event Reminder 

Don’t forget to attend the free 

Backyard Composting Workshop, hosted 

by Plant Artistry and Pennsauken’s 

Green Team. The workshop will be 

held at the Pennsauken Library on 

Saturday, Sep. 15 at 10 a.m. To register, 

or for additional details, contact Plant 

Artistry at 856-317-0611.

Maple Avenue Site Of Entertainment Packed Weekend 


Crab-a-Palooza features a live performance 

by the Sensational Soul 

Cruisers, an 11-piece horn group fronted 

by four vocalists who pay tribute to 

classic performers from Otis Redding 

and the Drifters to Barry White and the 

Commodores. 

In addition, participants can browse 

a variety of vendors selling crafts, jewelry, 

tie-dye T-shirts and more. 

For more information on Crab-a- 

Palooza, visit PinsetterBowl.com. 

Pennsauken Car and Bike Show 

For the second year in a row, The 

Pennsauken Business, Industry, and 

Government Council is working in 

conjunction with Pennsauken Town - 

ship to present this popular fall event. 

Hundreds of antique, classic and custom 

cars and motorcycles will line 

Maple Ave. from Canning to Union 

avenues. The event, from 11 a.m. to 

4 p.m., will also feature live music, food 

and entertainment for the whole 

family. 

“Even with some dicey weather last 

year, we had a very good turnout,” 

explains Elwood Martz, Pennsauken 

Township Parks and Recreation 

Director. “If Mother Nature cooperates, 

we’ll have the makings of a great 

event.” 

Once again, local businesses are 

helping make the Car and Bike Show 

possible with financial support. 

Holman Automotive returns as presenting 

sponsor; Susquehanna Bank, 

Elite Auto Service, and Primerica, Ellis 

and Associates are also major sponsors 

of the event. 

“We’re excited to have the majority 

of our sponsors returning from last 

year, and we hope to have even more 

organizations support this wonderful 

car and bike show,” says Tim Ellis, chairperson 

of the B.I.G. Council and vice 

president, Primerica. 

There will be 22 judging classes for 

cars, from Stock Production to 1953, to 

New Cars, 2007 to Present, as well as 

several judging classes for motorcycles. 

In addition to the cars and bikes on 

display, the Pinsetter parking lot will 

have a barbecue tent with tables and 

chairs for people to sit, eat, and relax. 

There will also be some family-friendly 

entertainment, including inflatable 

amusements, balloon twisting, face 

painting and disk jockeys spinning the 

latest hits. 

As with last year, every effort is being 

made to reduce the impact on the 

neighborhoods along Maple Ave. and 

adjoining streets. 

“We want to make sure that local 

residents have access to major throughways 

and can get to where they’re going 

while the car and bike show is up and 

running,” adds Ellis. 

Registrations for cars and bikes are 

still being accepted at the Parks and 

Recreation Department of Penn - 

sauken Township, 6505 North Crescent 

Blvd., Pennsauken. 

Event sponsorships are still being 

solicited. For more information visit

Pennsauken Remembers AAP 

Photographer Marie Giebel 


the professional photographers I’ve 

worked with in 20 years in the newspaper 

business. She was that good. 

She was also a copy editor, reading 

the paper for grammar, punctuation, 

spelling and style, before it went to 

print. And believe me, we had many 

discussions on that topic. 

Many times I would bounce something 

off her and she would tell me 

exactly what she thought, very directly. 

That’s what I loved most about her. 

I could always count on her to tell me 

the truth. 

She would also call me with news, 

tips, and just other things she thought 

should go into the paper. We didn’t 

always agree and I too, spoke my mind, 

but that’s how our relationship rolled. 

Most of all, though, she was my 

friend. 

I admired her intelligence, which 

sometimes baffled me when she talked 

about finances and computers. She had

an unwavering love and support for her 

family no matter what. 

I watched as she taught her children 

the value of giving back to the community. 

She was unbending on that. 

And no, she never spoke ill of anyone, 

although she did have a quick wit 

and smart rebuttal, which I envied. 

Now that I’ve moved on, I look back 

and see how much I gained from Marie 

and how much I miss her. 

In my head, though, I can still hear 

that unmistakable laugh. 

Rest in peace, Marie.

Consumer Alert: Sanitary Line Back-up Can Damage Your Home 

Your sewer line can back-up into 

our home, damaging your possessions. 

he back-up can be caused by the laterl 

line to your home, or your communiy’s 

main line. The following are a few 

imple actions you can take now to 

educe or eliminate any damage that 

ight occur. 

urvey Your Home 

If a back-up were to occur, where 

ould it most likely enter your home? 

e sure to check the following: 

Below grade toilets, sinks, showers or 

drains (i.e. any fixtures located below 

street level) 

The location of all drains and pipes in 

your basement 

If you have an overflow pipe in your 

basement, check its condition 

If your toilets are sluggish, have them 

checked by your plumber to make 

sure the lines are clear 

Inspect the washing machine connection; 

it’s often a main entry point for a 

back-up 

Protect Your Property 

Store items and place furniture as far 

away from toilets, drains, pipes, and 

washing machines as possible. Never 

store your belongings directly on the 

basement floor. Whenever possible, elevate 

all stored items by at least a foot or 

two. Storing items in large, water-resistant 

tubs or containers can also help prevent 

damage if a back-up occurs. 

Install a Backflow Preventer 

Building codes require backflow preventers 

for new home construction or 

remodeling if any fixtures are below 

grade, and are effective in minimizing 

the damage that can occur. Pennsauken 

Township’s construction office is the 

best choice for information regarding 

this device. 

Purchase an Insurance Rider 

Most homeowner’s policies exclude 

coverage but can often be added to your 

policy at your request. Contact your 

insurance provider for more information 

regarding this important coverage. 

Your Best Defense Is 

a Good Offense 

Planning ahead can save you money 

and aggravation. More importantly, it will 

protect family valuables, such as photos 

and keepsakes, which all the insurance in 

the world could never replace. 

REMINDER: 

CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR 

NEXT PAYMENT 

IS DUE THIS MONTH.

Monday to Thursday – 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Food Bank of South Jersey 

ecently announced an innovative partership 

with local peach farmers to 

elp the hungry in South Jersey. 

It’s not commonly known that New 

ersey, despite the state’s small size, is 

he fourth largest grower and exporter 

f peaches in the nation. What’s also 

ot well known is how many of those 

eaches are wasted. 

“There are almost a million good 

eaches that are not quite perfect 

nough for retail supermarkets, but 

hey taste great,” explains Food Bank 

EO Val Traore. “So we decided to 

urn them into a shelf stable product.” 

The result of this new partnership: a 

each salsa that will be sold as a 

undraiser for the Pennsauken-based 

onprofit, a first among food banks that 

ould possibly become a national 

odel for other similar organizations. 

By working with local farmers to resue 

these peach “seconds,” the Food 

ank will reduce local landfills, save 

farmers the cost of discarding the 

peaches and create a revenue source 

that will help them purchase more food 

to feed more people. 

“Just Peachy Salsa is a win-win for 

everyone.” says Traore “We’re helping to 

reduce our environmental footprint, 

we’re helping farmers save money, we’re 

giving the public a healthy product and 

we’re feeding hungry people with the revenue 

we’ll make.” Traore estimates local 

farmers will save over $85,000 in dumping 

fees through this salvage project. 

To find a partner in this venture, the 

Food Bank sought out Campbell Soup, 

a longtime donor of food, money and 

volunteers to the organization. Says 

Traore, “We arranged to have the 

peaches brought to them, pitted and 

sliced. They took it from there and created 

a beautiful, healthy product.” 

Campbell Soup manufactured 

52,000 jars of Just Peachy Salsa, which 

will be sold through retail stores. Their 

pilot plant, located in Camden, did not

follow up the 2011 campaign, when 

Pennsauken won the NJSIAA State

IS CREMATION FOR YOU? 

Most people think cremation is simpler, less expensive, 

quicker with fewer decisions than a full burial funeral. In some 

cases that is the truth. But in most cases cremation requires more 

decisions because more options are available. 

There are two major decisions regarding cremation. The first 

is whether to have a viewing/visitation period or not. If so, then 

the embalming operation, casketing, dressing, casket rental etc. 

are necessary and the costs are similar to a burial funeral. If no 

viewing is desired the embalming and casket are not needed and 

a Memorial Service is usually held at the funeral home or church. 

Quite often families have a clergy person for the service, the urn

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, 

depending on the cemetery. Cremains can also be scattered, 

depending on the location. Normally the cremains are placed in 

some type of container/urn. If an urn is not selected they are 

placed them in a temporary urn until a decision has been made. 

We have been handling cremation funerals for three 

generations. Our first cremation funeral was in 1928. Feel free to
