Pennsauken Public Schools Host Multicultural Book Fair 

By Frank Sinatra, AAP Editor 

Pennsauken students and their families 

came together as a community at Howard 

M. Phifer Middle School to celebrate and 

encourage a love of reading. The event, 

sponsored by Pennsauken Public Schools, 

in collaboration with Living Faith Christian 

Center and the NJ Amistad Commission, 

enabled families to break bread with 

each other at a free pasta dinner; view 

posters showcasing a love for reading that 

were created by Pennsauken students; and 

then browse multicultural children’s books 

from publishers Mondo and Scholastic, 

which were available for purchase at a discounted 

rate. 

“I am so excited about this event. And 

it is one I really believe that will become a 

tradition for our Pennsauken Public 

Schools,” says Pennsauken School Superintendent 

Marilyn Martinez. “We are a 

district that focuses on achievement and 

really having all children begin to understand 

that reading is across all subject 

areas. We want them to really engage in 

During the Multicultural Book Fair, School Superintendent Marilyn Martinez 

announced the winners of the Love of Reading Art Contest. Elementary and middle 

school students were encouraged to submit a poster on why they love to read.

So tonight is really exciting, because we are

By Rick Taylor 

Mayor of 


Township 

While those last few days of March 

brought some unusually cold weather 

and even a stray flurry or two, spring is 

officially here. And as the temperature 

continues to rise, many of our 

Pennsauken residents open up their 

windows and get to work tidying up and 

organizing their homes in the annual tradition 

of “spring cleaning.” It’s a great 

practice with some wonderful imagery. 

As the seasons change from winter to 

spring, it is an opportunity for many to 

The Perfect Time Of Year For A Little “Spring Cleaning” 

make a fresh start; bad habits, negative 

attitudes, and even the winter “blahs” are 

swept into the dustpan, and taken it out 

with the trash. 

What’s even better about this ritual of 

spring is that many don’t just focus on 

the insides of their homes, but also take 

advantage of warmer weather to clean 

up their lawns and their gardens. The 

Township does this too. As Pennsauken 

has once again dodged that wintery 

“bullet,” our Public Works Department 

has continued to sweep our streets 

throughout the colder months, and has 

begun fixing potholes and preparing our 

parks and recreational facilities for eager 

children, young people, and adults. 

Our entire Township administration 

encourages our residents, as well as 

our businesses, to continue embracing 

the spirit of “spring cleaning,” doing 

whatever they can, no matter how big or 

how small, to keep their properties well 

maintained. 

It’s amazing what some upkeep can 

accomplish. A well-groomed property 

that’s free of trash and clutter does wonders 

for a neighborhood block or a business 

complex. 

On the opposite side, a poorly maintained 

property does more than look 

bad; it can cause potential hazards to our 

residents. For example, improperly stored 

garbage in public areas may result in insect 

and rodent infestations, trip hazards, 

and even accidental fires. That certainly 

isn’t the kind of imagery that comes to 

mind when you think about spring. 

Property maintenance is so important 

to our town that Township Committee 

continues to make it a priority all year 

round. Operation Clean and Green 130, 

HOME BUYER’S SEMINAR – Saturdays at 10:00am 

Tips on getting a good buy and prequalifying for a mortgage. Call for a reservation 

an initiative championed by Committeewoman 

Betsy McBride, has our Township 

working closely with county and 

state government to clean up and beautify 

the public spaces along Route 130, 

the major corridor that runs straight 

through Pennsauken and serves as the 

main access point to our town from 

many other communities. We’re beginning 

to see some momentum build behind 

this effort, but it can only be truly 

successful if property owners and business 

people along the highway remain 

committed to maintaining clean parking 

areas, neat gardens and landscaping, and 

fresh signage. 

That’s true for your neighborhood as 

well. By striving to have your home be 

the envy of the block, you can help raise 

the bar for your neighbors and create a 

grassroots beautification initiative in 

your part of town. And it’s not hard to 

set a good example. It can be as simple 

as picking up trash that’s blown onto 

your property; or mowing your lawn and 

making sure your grass clippings don’t 

spill into the street where they could potential 

find their way into storm drains 

to pollute our waterways. A little effort 

really goes a long way and can even 

make a significant impact on the state of 

our local environment. 

So in closing, let’s do our part to do 

some “spring cleaning” throughout 

Pennsauken. It’s a great way to make 

sure everyone can truly enjoy this wonderful 

time of the year.

Pennsauken Police Urges Citizens To Keep An Eye Out For Copper Theft 

By Pennsauken Police Chief John Coffey 

Members of the Pennsauken Police 

Department have been investigating a 

number of burglaries at abandoned 

homes in the Township. Subjects involved 

in these burglaries and thefts have 

been removing copper pipe, fixtures, and 

other items that can be sold as scrap. 

We have recently obtained a list of 

abandoned homes in the Township, and 

our officers have been making an effort 

to check these properties during their 

tours of duties. If officers find an abandoned 

property unsecured, we notify 

Pennsauken’s code enforcement office 

to make arrangements to have the property 

secured. 

Arrests have been made in some of 

these burglaries, and it is apparent that 

these offenders receive a small amount 

of money for the property they remove. 

However, in many cases, these offenders 

have caused thousands of dollars worth 

of damage. 

The Pennsauken Police Department 

would like our residents to report any 

suspicious activity they see near an abandoned 

home in their neighborhood. 

Please call 9-1-1 with information regarding 

the location of the home, description 

of the subjects involved, and a 

description of any vehicle the subjects 

may be using. 

Pennsauken Police Officer 

DWI Top Gun 

The New Jersey Division of Highway 

Traffic Safety has announced that 

Pennsauken Township Police officer 

Joseph Kuchmek is the 2012 DWI Top 

Gun for the State of New Jersey. Ptl. 

Kuchmek is an eight-year veteran of the 

Pennsauken Police Department, and in 

2012 he made 86 arrests for persons driving 

under the influence of alcohol or 

drugs. These 86 arrests were tops in New 

Jersey for all police officers. 

Ptl. Kuchmek has been invited to attend 

an event in Trenton on April 24, 

where he will receive his award. This 

event is intended to bring further awareness 

to the tragedies associated with impaired 

driving and to commemorate the 

lives lost as a result of an impaired driver.

The Hypnotic Professor Whiz 

LOOKING BACK 

IN HISTORY 

By Robert Fisher-Hughes 

AAP Columnist and Amateur Historian 

Many interesting people have come to 

be associated with Pennsauken Township 

over its years and before. Some have lived 

here and called it home for their entire 

lives. Others have visited our Township 

only briefly, but memorably, like Wrong 

Way Corrigan. For others, Pennsauken 

Township serves as their place of eternal 

rest, like Peter J. McGuire. 

One little remembered character who 

called Pennsauken home during his later 

years was known by a number of names 

during his life and career: Miracle Man, 

Professor Rythm, Professor Whiz, Fitz. 

His true name was Gerald M. P. Fitzgibbon, 

and he was a man of many talents 

and much imagination. 

Gerald M. P. Fitzgibbon was born in 

Newfoundland in Canada around 1883. 

He attended St. Bonaventure College in 

Western New York, where he was a star 

athlete, excelling at track and field events, 

especially in long-distance races. Sometime 

after college, he moved to New 

York City and continued his track career, 

running with the legendary New York 

Irish-American Athletic Club, which furnished 

many athletes to the American 

Olympic teams of the 1900s. 

At some point, while pursuing his 

studies and following the disciplines of 

long-distance running, Gerald discovered 

the field that became his passion 

and his career: hypnosis. 

This was an era when the deeper mys- 

teries of the human mind were only beginning 

to be explored through fledgling 

scientific efforts. Sigmund Freud’s theories 

of the subconscious were still new 

and exciting, holding out unknowable 

possibilities. Spiritualism was widely in 

vogue. Scientific and technological discoveries 

like the wonders of electrical power, 

phonography and radio, all seemed to hint 

at unlimited fields of knowledge opening 

to mankind. Hypnosis and the hidden 

powers of the human mind seemed 

clearly to be among these fields of knowledge, 

and Gerald M. P. Fitzgibbon explored 

that unknown region. 

In 1913, Fitzgibbon began a pattern he 

would pursue for the remainder of his career 

by combining new technology with 

his passion to illustrate the potential of 

hypnosis. In Buffalo, N.Y., Fitzgibbon made 

the first hypnotic phonograph record. In 

1916, he published a sort of manifesto of 

his beliefs on the potential of hypnosis to 

benefit mankind in a letter to the editor of 

the Medical Review of Reviews. 

Shortly after this, Fitzgibbon founded 

“The Fitzgibbon Institute,” and began to 

write and publish a series of pamphlets 

to lay out a course of study in “Physical 

and Mental Efficiency.” The aim of these 

courses was to promote hypnosis, suggestion, 

and auto-suggestion as a means to 

harness the hidden powers of the mind 

to benefit mankind. The courses suggested 

that hypnotic methods could accomplish 

many things, from developing

WAGSWORLD Winter’s Departure Comes With Sunshine’s Return 

By Bob Wagne 

AAP Columnist 

A 24-hour time swing can change 

everything! 

Dawn broke, barely, as I stood at the 

front door, watching wind-blown snow 

cling to the cars and trucks huddled at 

the curb. A few stray flakes blew into my 

collar as I gathered up the morning 

paper, kicking my kidneys into high gear 

once again. I sat hunched over my coffee 

cup, trying to draw a bit of warmth from 

my morning brew, while reading the 

news, as grey and depressing as the 

weather. My wool shirt, new scarf, and 

heavy socks seemed extra scratchy. 

Over 40,000 

people are 

reading this ad.

My mood matches the weather, as I 

brush the cold and wet off the garage 

door handle, and lift the heavy old wood 

door. Once again flakes find my exposed 

neck, sending my kidneys into 

hyper drive. Inside, under the dull electric 

lights, it feels like a refrigerator. My 

firewood supply has dwindled down to 

a few sticks, and my favorite chair is as 

cold as the frozen chicken breast I took 

out of the freezer this morning to defrost. 

My mood is as dark as the grey sky 

outside, fueled by what seems an interminable 

winter. 

A mere day later, warm sunshine surrounds 

me, as I pull my freshly refurbished 

V.W. Out of the garage. I shuck 

my wool coat as the new sun warms my

look new and shiny. I’m filled with 

thoughts of car shows, drives with the 

windows down, and root beer mugs resting 

on my window sill at Weber’s. My favorite 

old chair, now sitting in the sun, is 

as warm and comforting as an old quilt. 

I can hear my fishing rods calling to me 

from deep inside the garage, begging to 

be taken down to the beach. 

I’m feeling what it felt like a hundred 

years ago to put on the first sneakers of 

spring, and run down the street just as 

fast as humanly possible, just for the feeling 

of freedom. 

Two whole days of sunshine and 

warmth and the winter doldrums appear 

gone. My good lined leather gloves are

COUNCIL OF PENNSAUKEN 

BIG Council Unveils Plans For New Web Site 

At the March 

meeting of the Business, 

Industry, and 

Government Council 

of Pennsauken 

Township, the or- 

ganization announced the development 

of a newly designed web site. The site, 

which is currently being designed by Chris 

Owens of Pennsauken-based company 

Innovafire Web Solutions, will provide a 

comprehensive resource for both current 

and potential B.I.G. Council members. 

“The B.I.G. Council doesn’t have a 

physical location, which makes it hard if 

you want to get involved,” says Owens. 

“So it makes sense to have a ‘virtual’ location, 

so you can find everything, so you 

can sign up for everything. It gives you a 

central point to get oriented.” 

The newly designed BIGPenn - 

sauken.com, slated for a May relaunch, 

will allow participating members to pay 

their annual dues, pre-pay for the organization’s 

monthly meetings, and find 

links to pertinent online resources. There 

will also be a searchable version of the 

2013-2014 Pennsauken-Merchantville 

Business Directory, where visitors to the 

site will be able to find local companies 

using specific criteria. 

“Chris has been gracious enough to 

help us out with our web site,” adds Tim 

Ellis, B.I.G. Council chairperson. “He 

lives and works in Pennsauken, and will 

be very hands on as we continue to 

move forward with our new site. It’s 

going to be exciting.”

The Hypnotic Professor Whiz 


memory and concentration to self-control, 

weight loss or weight gain, overcoming 

bad habits, curing certain diseases, 

and developing latent talents, such as 

salesmanship. 

By 1919, Fitzgibbon was running ads 

for his courses of self-improvement in 

Popular Mechanics magazine, where he 

was dubbed the “Miracle Man,” for his 

* 

transformation from a “commonplace 

youngster” to a champion athlete and 

psychologist, author and lecturer. 

In this same period, like many other 

forward-thinking people living in and near 

the heady atmosphere of New York City 

around the time of the First World War, 

Fitzgibbon also came to embrace radical 

social ideas. He is mentioned as a socialist 

organizer, addressing strike rallies and 

from 1919 to 1922 served as a staff member 

of The New York Call, a socialist 

newspaper of the day. He is particularly 

noted as a gifted speaker, capable of entertaining 

or rousing his audience at will. 

It seems as though radicalism took 

second place to his passion for hypnotism, 

however. Perhaps, as for many 

American socialists of the period, the 

cruel realities presented by the Russian 

Revolution resulted in disillusionment. 

Whatever the reason, Fitzgibbon’s career 

in hypnosis became paramount and took 

decidedly un-socialistic pathways. 

In 1927, Gerald M. P. Fitzgibbon performed 

a feat that came to be his most 

famous achievement in hypnosis, to be 

repeated again and again over the rest of 

his career. On March 9, from a hotel in 

Springfield, Massachusetts, Fitzgibbon 

performed simultaneous hypnosis of 

four people in three cities by radio 

broadcast. The subjects were in Springfield, 

Boston and New York City. 

In 1935, Fitzgibbon relocated himself 

and his Fitzgibbon Institute to Camden, 

NJ. He began offering his courses to locals 

from places like the Camden Lodge 

of the Elks. He also toured with his program 

to promote hypnosis, offering both 

science and entertainment. 

By 1937, Fitzgibbon was performing 

his signature feat of hypnosis by radio 

broadcast from Neil’s Grill in Camden 

and with subjects at the Old Mill Inn in 

Pennsauken, near Pennsauken Creek 

where Route 130 crosses today. Broadcasts 

of his hypnosis by radio programs 

were carried over WCAM. 

In 1941, Gerald M. P. Fitzgibbon 

moved his family to Pennsauken, and 

settled in a home on Myrtle Avenue. 

His many appearances before business 

and trade groups attracted the attention 

of a major local business, the R.M. 

Hollingshead Company in Camden, 

makers of a variety of products for the 

home and automobile. Many of these 

products were marketed under the brand 

“Whiz” and among them was “Rhythm” 

motor oil. Gerald M. P. Fitzgibbon became 

a traveling promoter for the 

Hollingshead Company, performing his 

astounding programs in front of meetings 

and conventions of potential buyers and 

retailers of Whiz products. During this 

time he was given the stage names of 

“Professor Rythm,” and “Professor 

Whiz,” as he traveled across the nation. 

Fitzgibbon had retired multiple times, 

but still performed locally at the time of 

his death at age 72 in 1955. He had even 

planned a new stunt whereby he would 

go further still by hypnotizing people in

This Is Not Your Aunt Bessie’s 

Retirement 

By Judith Kristen, AAP Columnist 

Remember when you were a kid and 

you watched your retired Grandparents 

or Great Grandparents doing not much 

more than sitting in a rocking chair, or 

maybe just doing little odds and ends; visiting 

the doctors, taking long naps, going 

to church, and basically nothing else, other 

than just waiting for the end to come? 

I can recall my Aunt Bessie saying 

how she was looking forward to the day 

she went to heaven, but truthfully, I can’t 

ever recall her embracing much of anything 

else while she waited. 

I guess she was the catalyst for me to 

appreciate a full life. Funny isn’t it? The 

way we learn some lessons. 

Well, here is April and this month is a 

whirlwind of activity. It usually is for me and 

my close friends, many who are of retirement 

age and beyond and have decided 

not to retire; they either can’t afford to retire, 

or they just really don’t want to retire. 

April 3 brings my 65th birthday, and I 

look forward to another year with joyful 

anticipation. Since Easter’s happy family 

festivities arrived at the tail end of March, 

it was a great farewell to the third month 

of the year and a happy ride into April. 

So here’s how it’s looking for my first 

official Medicare retirement month: 

Andrew, bless his heart, has a wonderful 

dinner party planned for my birthday. 

Then on April 5th through the 7th, I’m a 

guest speaker at The Beatles NY Metro 

Fest. The 11th and 12th, we’re up in New 

York City visiting friends and aiding animal 

rescue. The 14th will find me at Java 

and Gems on Centre Street as we launch 

a friend’s book off into the wonderful 

world of art and poetry. April 17th, I 

leave on my nine-country book tour of 

Great Britain and Central Europe. April 

18th, I arrive in Manchester, England to 

teach at Hindsford School, the same 

school I teach to from our own Carson 

School in that marvelous “Distance 

Learning” program headed by teachers 

extraordinaire, Francine Eisenmann and 

Nancy Tryon. April 20th, I’m in Liverpool, 

the land of the Fab Four, for the official 

UK kick-off for my book, “Once 

Upon a Time in Liverpool.” Then it’s off 

to Central Europe on the 24th, with subsequent 

book signings in Amsterdam, 

Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, 

By Judith Kristen 

AAP Columnist 

France, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. 

Then we’re back home in time for a 

fabulous Cinco de Mayo gala! 

So when does the dust ever get a 

chance to settle? Hopefully never. 

Now I’m not saying that a little downtime 

is a bad thing. I myself enjoy many 

a peace-filled, relaxing moment, but this 

Go-Go-Go gal is just who I am and, with 

any luck, who I’ll be until my last day 

here on Planet Earth. 

And when that final day arrives, I want 

to be able to stand in front of God with a 

smile on my face and say, “Father, I lived 

a full life. I gave it all I had. And even during 

some very tough times when I 

thought I didn’t have any more left to 

give, or even know where to look to see 

where I lost it, I heard you tell me to 

reach down deep into my heart and, you 

know what? Miraculously, there’s where 

I found even more love to give, more 

time to cherish, more fun, more joy, more 

of a life worth living to have and to share 

with others.” 

Yes, I want to be able to say in all 

honesty, “Lord, I used everything you 

gave me.” 

So, call me over-worked, over-zealous, 

over the top, or just plain old goofy. 

But as one of my favorite authors of 

all time, Erma Bombeck, once said, 

“Seize the moment. Remember all those 

women on the Titanic who waved off the 

dessert cart.” 

So now my friends, please pardon me 

as I end this column and head over to my 

favorite restaurant… straight toward 

their dessert cart. 

See you next month! 

Peace and love… and all good things.

Black History Month Comes Alive At Roosevelt 

On Feb. 22, Roosevelt Elementary 

held its third annual Blacks in Wax Black 

History Program. The purpose of the 

program is to educate the students of the 

school about African Americans who 

have impacted the history of the United 

States. It serves as the culminating activity 

for a research project the students 

complete in school. 

This year’s project was cross-curricular,

Dicupe’s fourth grade class. 

Fourth grade students used their research 

to write an informational research 

paper, create a timeline, and compose a 

speech that they would recite during the 

program. Third grade students had the option 

to create a poster or create a speech 

and be a wax figure in the program.

God couldn’t be everywhere and so he 

created teachers. Never was that more 

evident than on Friday, March 8 in a 

lovely little town called Somerset, NJ, 

when the beautiful banquet area of The 

Hotel Somerset-Bridgewater was filled 

with teachers during the New Jersey Association 

for Gifted Children’s (NJAGC) 

22nd Annual Conference. 

One of the evening’s most cherished 

moments came during the annual awards 

dinner, when Pennsauken’s very own 

Francine Eisenmann was named Educator 

of the Year.

particular joy for me to be there. 

Francine Eisenmann is a familiar face 

in our lovely little town of Pennsauken. 

She has been an educator in our 

Pennsauken Township schools for the 

past thirty-four years. Over the years, 

Francine taught both third and fourth 

grades; inclusive classes; basic skills reading; 

facilitated workshops for teachers; 

wrote numerous curriculum guides; and 

was always more than willing to lend a 

hand to any student, aide, or fellow educator 

as needed. She has always been 

known for her kindness, compassion, 

and generosity. She currently teaches 

gifted language arts at Carson School. 

“I am most fortunate to be teaching in one 

of New Jersey’s finest programs,” says Eisenmann. 

“Our model is unique, in that I see my 

students every day. I have a fabulous Gifted 

This year’s program was a great success. 

Students dressed the part as the person 

they researched, and posed as “wax” 

figures in Roosevelt’s all-purpose room. 

Parents and the rest of the students at 

the school were invited to tour the museum 

under the guidance of third grade 

students, who directed them to the various 

“halls” of the “museum.” 

Visitors could touch a button on wax

Read Across 

America Celebration 

At Carson School 

On March 5, guest readers visited 

G.H. Carson School to help celebrate 

Read Across America. Guests from 

around town read to classes and inspired 

a love of reading in their students. 

Members of the Board of Education, 

fire department, school district administrators, 

Superintendent Martinez, as well 

as many others, were invited to join in this 

celebration of reading. This annual event 

is always a highlight for our students. 

This year, Carson School is celebrating 

Read Across America by reading the 

route of the Iditarod. Students and staff 

are reading 998 minutes to follow the 998 

miles of the Iditarod-South trail from 

Anchorage to Nome. 

Guest readers shared books about the 

Iditarod and dogsled racing, as well as 

many of their own childhood favorite 

stories. 

The staff would like to say thank you 

to everyone who took time out of their 

busy schedules to read and celebrate 

with the students!

Pennsauken’s Francine Eisenmann Educator Of The Year 


with her classes. Currently, students are in 

the process of contributing to an interactive 

video book, which premiered during Carson’s 

Read Across America Celebration 

the first week in March. 

Over the past four years, Francine 

Eisenmann is very proud to have initiated 

NJAGC’s REACH Program in 

Pennsauken. With the support of the District, 

she has given parents, students, and 

teachers from the tri-county area, the opportunity 

to experience Challenge Stations, 

network with other gifted students, 

parents, and teachers, and listen to motivating 

and educational speakers. Francine 

felt a strong need to give gifted students, 

parents, and teachers in the South Jersey 

area, a place to go and grow together. 

Ms. Eisenmann currently sits on the 

NJAGC Board as co-vice president of 

membership. It is important to keep 

gifted programs alive and well throughout 

New Jersey. Future generations depend 

on us to cultivate the young minds 

who will be our next leaders. All children 

deserve high quality gifted programs to 

grow to their fullest potential. Francine 

enters her classroom each day with that 

thought in mind. 

As she stated upon receiving her award, 

“Teaching has been my passion for as long 

as I can remember. My dream to be a 

teacher came true thirty-four years ago, 

when Pennsauken embraced me into their 

family of educators. It’s all about the children. 

That’s why I do what I do. I still love 

it after all these years. I absolutely love it!” 

And it shows. Just ask any student 

who was fortunate enough to be a part 

of her classroom. 

Francine is happily married to a very 

loving and supportive husband, named 

Bill, and is the mother of two grown sons. 

Over the years, the entire family has volunteered 

to take part in many of 

Francine’s special school projects. 

“Teaching is a family affair in our house.” 

Francine is also very active in her 

community, volunteering for various 

charity fundraisers, events that support 

animal rescue, and in all facets of her 

church to help make the world a better 

place in any way she can. 

Someday, there will be “The Francine 

Eisenmann Outstanding Teacher of the 

Year” Award. 

I'm absolutely certain of it... and so is 

everyone else who knows her.

Arrow Of Light Awarded To Six Scouts, Pinewood Awards 

And Rank Advancements Given 

Pack 116 families met for an international-themed 

pot-luck lunch in early 

March to celebrate Cub Scouting’s birthday 

and to present its highest award, the 

Arrow of Light, to fifth graders Matthew 

Callaway, Erik Connor, Joshua Green, 

Michael Mills, Marty Nickollof, and Peter 

Stemetski. The award, presented at the 

Pack’s annual Blue and Gold banquet, was 

the culmination of their Cub Scout careers, 

many of whom have been in the Pack 

since they were Tiger Cubs in first grade. 

Besides their Arrow of Light, many of 

the boys earned the Leave No Trace 

Award from National Boy Scouts, and also 

crossed over to Boys Scouts. The cross-over 

ceremony involved the application of “war 

paint” to symbolize the aspects of Cub 

Scouts they completed. Then they crossed 

the ceremonial bridge and were greeted by 

members of the local troops. 

Younger Cub ranks received earned 

belt loops and patches; most received 

their Progress Toward Rank emblem 

and beads. James Tuvell received his Wolf 

rank and Michael Ciarrocca, Sean Connor, 

Aidan Hughes, Anthony Marinelli, 

Nicholas Mills, and Liam Semmler 

earned their Webelos badge, which is the 

first requirement towards the Arrow of 

Light, which they can earn next year. 

The theme for this Cub Scout year has 

been “Cub Scouting = A Passport to Adventure.” 

Each den chose a country and 

has been learning about that country as 

part of their meetings. For the banquet, 

PENNSAUKEN & MERCHANTVILLE RESIDENT

for an ADDITIONAL $100 OFF any car in stock 

the dens brought food from their country: 

blooming onions from Australia, potatoes 

from Ireland, pasta from Italy, hot 

dogs and sauerkraut from Germany, and 

baklava from Greece. The Pack provided 

chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, 

and ham, while everyone brought the 

side dishes to supplement them. It was a 

real feast and there was plenty of everything. 

For dessert, the Cubs brought cupcakes 

decorated to the theme of their 

county or the Passport to Adventure. 

The boys voted for their top three 

favorites; chefs Ben Katzberg, Gio 

Marinelli and brother team, Matt and 

Chris Hunter, along with their parent 

helpers, were awarded medals. 

Cub Scouts Compete In 

Pinewood Derby 

In January, the Pack held its annual 

Pinewood Derby. The top six finishers 

were Seamus Blessinger, Sean Connor, 

Chris Buskirk, Sean Connor, C.J. Diaz, Gio 

Marinelli, and Liam Semmler. Because 

C.J. is a K-Kub (kindergartner) and ineligible 

to represent the pack at the district finals, 

the seventh finisher, coincidentally 

C.J.’s older brother Mikey, took his place. 

The dens will continue to work towards 

their rank and everyone should be 

completed by graduation in June.

PUBLICWORKS Recycling In Pennsauken Equals Dollars Saved 

By Bernie Kofoet 

Public Works Superintendent 

According to the United States Environmental 

Protection Agency, the average 

American creates 4.4 pounds of trash a 

day. That equates to 1,660 pounds per year. 

Based on data from ReCommunity, 

the company which handles recyclables 

collected in Camden County, 54 percent 

of trash collected in the United States is 

land filled; 25 percent is recycled; 12 percent 

is incinerated; and nine percent is 

composted. 

The most common types of waste are 

food and yard waste at 32 percent; paper 

and cardboard at 29 percent; plastics at 

12 percent; textiles and other products 

also at 12 percent; metal at nine percent; 

and glass at 5 percent. 

In part, America’s dependence on 

packaging has caused an increase in the 

amount of trash generated. The next 

time you go to a fast food drive thru, look 

at what you received in addition to your 

food and beverage. You’ll have a bag, 

napkins, container for your beverage, 

wrappings for you sandwich, plastic utensils, 

and a receipt. That’s a lot more than 

the extra calories you’ll be eating. 

Currently, every ton of trash that is collected 

from households in Pennsauken 

cost $65 per ton to dispose of. Proper recycling 

can reduce that disposal cost significantly. 

Every ton of recyclables 

reduces the cost by $65 and actually generates 

revenue. 

Over the years, the collection of and 

the materials that can be recycled has 

evolved to the present day “single stream 

recycling” program. 

You no longer need to separate your 

cans and bottles from your paper. The 

classes of acceptable plastics have increased. 

The only plastics currently not 

acceptable for recycling are those with a 

three or six in the recycling triangle found 

on all plastic containers. 

Stop for a minute and look what happens 

in your own household with regard 

to trash and recyclables. Is everyone in 

your home aware that recycling is required? 

Do they know what can and 

can’t be recycled? Most people know 

that soda cans, food product cans, milk 

and soda containers, newspapers, and 

magazines are recyclable. Are you aware 

that junk mail, window envelopes, store 

receipts, as well as cardboard tubes from 

paper towels and toilet paper are also recyclable? 

Yes, these items individually 

have very little weight to them, but collectively 

over a year for every house it 

can adds up to a significant amount. 

Do you know what to do with plastic 

caps on soda bottles or other containers? 

They are recyclable as well. However, 

you should leave them screwed on to the 

container. They are so small and light that 

if they are removed and thrown into the 

can, they can fall through the processing 

equipment and end up in the trash. 

Many of us have home shedders to 

dispose of documents. Do you know 

how to dispose of the shredded paper? 

Yes it is recyclable, but it should be placed 

in a clear bag and placed out with your 

recyclables. If you dump it into your yellow 

can, when it reaches the recycling 

plant it will blow around, get into the 

sorting machinery and again end up as 

trash. Placing it in a clear bag will allow 

the line workers to pull the bag and place 

it in a container to be properly recycled. 

Another way to handle shredded paper 

is to compost it in your back yard compost 

bin or use it as mulch in your garden. 

When you’re finished with that pizza 

from your neighborhood pizza store 

what do you do with the box? This one 

is a little tricky. If it has cheese and grease 

all over it you should trash it. Otherwise, 

remove the paper sheet and as long as 

the box isn’t stained with grease, recycle 

it. If the box bottom is stained and the top 

isn’t, tear off the top, trash the bottom

Pennsauken Public Schools Host Multicultural Book Fair 


way to inspire young people who are trying 

to find meaning in life and attempting 

to put together a game plan for the future. 

The book speaks about goal setting, 

chasing dreams, taking personal responsibility 

and living a balanced life. 

“I wrote a book about growing up, becoming 

an adult where you have to establish 

certain things,” explained Cobb. 

“I tied it to athletics where you have to 

develop fundamentals. You’ve got to 

have the fundamentals as you grow into 

adulthood. You have to have a purpose 

for your life. You start making those 

kinds of decisions on what kind of a person 

you want to be. You develop some 

maturity about having responsibility and 

being responsible for what you do.” 

Cobb spoke to a packed auditorium, 

sharing important life lessons to an attentive 

audience. He encouraged young 

people to think before they act, to maintain 

balance in their lives, further their 

education and don’t allow fear to keep 

them from their dreams. “You can’t be 

afraid. I’ve seen fear stop so many people, 

it’s slowed me down at times. You’ll 

have things that bother you. You don’t 

think you can do anything, so you don’t 

try. If you don’t try, I’ll guarantee you one 

thing: you will fail. You’ve got to have 

courage. You’ve got to be willing to lose. 

Everybody fails. You tell me anybody 

who’s ever achieved anything great, and 

I’ll show you somebody who’s failed. So 

don’t you let fear of failing stop you from 

trying.” 

With spring also comes renewed and 

vigorous growth of tree roots that can 

block sewer lines. We take every 

possible effort to keep our main lines 

free of roots through our maintenance 

program. The lateral line from your 

house to our main line, however, is the

Longtime Pennsauken Employee 

William Buffington Honored With 

Room Dedication At Township Building 


day, March 3, was attended by many people 

who knew and loved Buffington, 

who passed away on April 16, 2009 at the 

age of 76. It was standing room only, a 

moving sight, according to Bill’s wife, 

Lucille. “I’m very happy to see so many 

people turn out. I didn’t realize how 

many people’s lives he had touched.” 

William Buffington, or “Buff,” as he 

was affectionately called by many of his 

friends and co-workers, served as the 

Township’s Tax Assessor for over 37 

years. Mayor Taylor described Buffington 

as “someone that probably knew 

more about Pennsauken than anyone 

when it came to land use.” In fact, he was 

highly influential in the Township’s purchase 

of the land that became the 

Pennsauken Country Club. “He had a lot 

of foresight with the land,” added Lucille. 

And while Buffington’s significant accomplishments 

helped bolster Penn - 

sauken’s development, it was apparent 

that the day’s festivities more so recognized 

his connection and commitment to 

the town he lived in for decades. 

“He started working here in the 60’s. 

His family was [one] part of his life; 

Pennsauken was the other,” explained 

Lynn O’Donnell, one of Buffington’s 

three daughters. 

During the reception, many fond 

memories were shared by Buff’s friends 

and loved ones. Co-workers saw him as 

a trusted mentor and father-figure; his 

granddaughter, Julia, with tearful laughter, 

remembered getting into trouble for 

playing with the chairs in the very same 

room that now bears her grandfather’s 

name; others still talked of his love of the 

movie, “Gone with the Wind,” and his 

passion for road trips, particularly to 

Florida. And as his family gathered for 

the photo that accompanies this article, 

there were two prevailing thoughts that 

could have been expressed by anyone in 

attendance. The first was stated by his 

daughter, Sandra Laino, who spoke by 

her father’s picture. “We all remember 

him like this, here in this building. He was 

all about Pennsauken. He was very 

proud and we are very proud today.” 

The second was very eloquently stated 

by Bill’s wife. “I miss him.” 

Pennsauken Police Department 

Receives NJSACOP Accreditation 

On Sunday, March 3, 2013 a team of 

assessors from the New Jersey State Association 

of Chiefs of Police 

(NJSACOP) arrived at the Pennsauken 

Police Department to conduct a two-day 

evaluation and examination of all aspects 

of the police department. The assessors 

reviewed the department’s 

policies and procedures, management, 

operations, and support services. 

The purpose of his evaluation was to 

achieve accredited status from the New 

Jersey State Association of Chiefs of 

Police. In order to receive the accreditation 

status, the Pennsauken Police 

Department was required to comply 

with over 100 standards. The process to 

achieve accreditation status, started 

over two years ago. 

NJSACOP accreditation is a voluntary 

process, and once achieved, is 

viewed as a highly prized recognition of 

law enforcement excellence, demonstrating 

that the Pennsauken Police Department 

meets the Commission’s “best 

practice” standards. 

Accreditation results in greater responsibility 

within the organization, provides 

clearly defined policies for both the 

rank and file and administrative officers 

within the department, reduces risk and 

liability exposure, and provides more 

confidence in the police department’s 

ability to operate efficiently and assist the 

community. 

NJSACOP accreditation is valid for 

a three year period; during this 

time, Pennsauken Police must forward 

reports to the NJSACOP indicating 

continued compliance with accreditation 

standards. 

At the end of the two-day evaluation, 

the police department was advised by the 

assessors that a recommendation would 

be made to the New Jersey State Association 

of Chiefs of Police that the 

Pennsauken Police Department achieves 

accreditation status. This award is expected 

to be presented to members of 

the Pennsauken Police Department at a 

NJSACOP meeting in May 2013.

Composting A Natural Way To Feed Your Soil 

By Kathleen Harvey, 

Owner, Plant Artistry, LLC 

Gardens are a constant work in 

progress, and like us, need to be maintained 

to be healthy. Making your own compost 

lessens the amount of garbage in our landfills, 

provides nutrients to feed your soil, balances 

the pH, and adjusts soil texture for 

proper water retention and aeration. 

The Difference Between 

Compost And Mulch 

Mulch sits on top of the soil and is 

usually composed of wood chips or 

licorice root. Its purpose is to help retain 

water, keep soil at a more even temperature 

to reduce plant heaving in winter, 

and for weed prevention in summer. 

Compost is blended into the soil, 

amending it to help bring soil conditions 

closer to optimal for plants. 

Benefits Of Compost Versus 

Synthetic Fertilizers 

Compost contains nutrients that are 

often absent in synthetic fertilizers. Compost 

releases nutrients slowly, unlike synthetic 

fertilizers which can burn roots if 

provided in too high of a concentration. 

Compost buffers the soil, neutralizing 

both acid and alkaline soils, helping to 

bring pH levels to the optimum range for 

nutrient availability to plants. Compostenriched 

soil retains mineral nutrients better 

than synthetic fertilizer, which can run 

into storm drains and pollute waterways. 

How To Make Compost 

Making your own compost isn’t as difficult 

or smelly as some people think, if 

done correctly. The important thing to remember 

is to use ingredients in the 

proper proportion just like any other 

recipe. Ingredients for composting include 

water, air and carbon- and nitrogen-rich 

materials. The fastest way to produce fertile, 

sweet-smelling compost is to maintain 

a lot more carbon than nitrogen. If the 

C:N ratio is too high (i.e., excess carbon), 

decomposition slows down. When the 

C:N ratio is too low (i.e., excess nitrogen), 

it creates an unpleasant odor. Now, ingredient 

details. High carbon materials tend 

to be brown and dry (e.g., leaves we collect 

in the fall). High nitrogen materials tend 

to be green or colorful and wet, such as 

fruit and vegetable rinds or peels. Examples 

are non-meat kitchen waste, egg 

shells, used coffee grounds and tea leaves, 

or even grass clippings if they haven’t been 

coated in synthetic weed killers. Add just 

enough water to dampen the mixture. 

Oxygen in the air provides the decomposition 

process. Optionally, soil and earthworms 

from your garden can be added to 

speed up the process. Compost containers 

can be a manufactured bin, home made 

box, plastic trash can with holes drilled in 

the side and bottom, or simply a pile in a 

remote corner of the yard. 

Compost Preparation 

Two composting bins are best, one for 

finished or “cooked” compost, the second 

for “raw” ingredients. The decomposition 

process is aided by shredding the 

plant matter, adding water, and ensuring 

proper aeration by regularly turning the 

mixture. Fancy composting bins can be 

tumbled to mix the entire batch; it’s my 

preference, because it’s easier. Contents 

of simple composting bins must be 

stirred manually, using a pitch fork or 

shovel. Worms ingest partly composted 

material, but also continually re-create 

aeration and drainage tunnels as they 

move through the compost. If garden 

worms are added, do not add chemical 

compost aids, as these will kill the worms.

Using Compost 

Mix compost 50/50 with soil when

Food Adventures In Pennsauken: Taste of Pennsauken 

By Rachael Rivera, AAP Columnist 

Pennsauken offers so many varieties of 

cuisine in and around our Township. It’s 

fortunate to be from a place that is so central 

to urban, suburban and rural food 

scenes, as well as more worldly dishes. For 

the longest time Pennsauken has been 

home to places like The Pub, Penn Queen 

Diner, Macaro’s Deli, and Montegrillo’s 


Yes, they are recyclable, but you shouldn’t 

place them in your yellow can. Most supermarkets 

provide containers at their 

entrance for the recycling of these bags. 

Better yet, consider using your own 

reusable bag when you go shopping. 

As the numbers above indicate, food 

waste and yard waste is a large part of 

the trash stream. What can you do about 

that? Consider creating a back yard 

compost pile. This will allow you to remove 

most food waste from the trash 

stream. Leave your grass clipping on the 

lawn when you cut. They will decompose 

naturally and add valuable nutrients to 

your lawn. Leafs and other yard waste 

can also be added to the compost pile. 

If composting won’t work for you, the 

Township does offer yard waste collection 

once a week, year round. Grass clip- 

Italian restaurant. More recently, the food 

scene has evolved to include places offering 

Pho, a popular Vietnamese dish, vegetarian 

food and traditional Indian dishes. 

In my experience as a Pennsauken resident, 

I’ve noticed that the true gastro 

“Meccas” can be found all along Westfield 

Avenue, parts of Maple or Park avenues, 

and along Routes130 and 70. If you ven- 

Recycling In Pennsauken Equals 

Dollars Saved 

ping, leafs, and other yard waste are collected 

every Wednesday. Do not place 

your yard waste in the yellow can. That 

can is to be used exclusively for your single 

stream recyclables. There is no limit 

on the amount of recyclables or yard 

waste that you can place out every week. 

There are still some things which can’t 

be recycled. Any type of hazardous 

waste should be disposed of at one of the 

“Special Waste Collection Days” provided 

by Camden County. Look for the 

dates in each month’s “Talking Trash.” 

Dirty diapers or any type of bio-hazardous 

waste cannot be recycled. Items 

such as ceramic, china, dishes, mirrors, 

light bulbs, Pyrex, porcelain and window 

glass are also not recyclable. 

Together, with a little effort, we can increase 

our recycling results while helping 

to reduce waste collection costs. 

Our Quality Healthcare Units provide skilled nursing, medical and 

rehabilitative care for patients and residents. Whether you’re here for a

Collingswood And Pennsauken Sign Shared Services Agreement For Fire Services, Inspections 

In another step to reduce costs and 

share services between municipalities, 

Collingswood and Pennsauken officials 

formalized an agreement to share fire 

prevention and housing inspection services 

for three years. 

The arrangement merges inspection 

services of the two fire departments to 

create a Fire Prevention Bureau which 

will share Pennsauken’s current fire official, 

one administrative secretary from 

Collingswood, and four licensed part time 

inspectors to be hired by both 

Collingswood and Pennsauken to handle 

the fire and property maintenance inspections 

for both towns. The Bureau will be 

headquartered in Pennsauken, but property 

owners can still contact their local fire 

departments to make payments, drop off 

paperwork and handle other business. 

The process also means streamlining 

forms and fees for each town and making 

more information available online. 

“This is a much more cost effective 

way of doing business and creates numerous 

efficiencies within both of our 

organizations. This will allow us to provide 

a better service to the residents, 

Employment Opportunity: 

Fire Prevention Inspector 

The Township of Pennsauken has announced 

an employment opportunity 

for part time Fire Prevention Inspector. 

These positions are classified with the NJ 

Civil Service Commission as Fire Prevention 

Specialist and will require the 

successful candidate(s) to make application 

through the open competitive 

process at a later date; the position will 

remain in a provisional classification 

until a permanent appointment is made. 

Duties will include the performance of 

fire code enforcement inspections and 

public education details in the Township 

of Pennsauken and the Borough of 

Collingswood under the direction of the 

Fire Official. The applicant should possess 

strong communication and problem 

owners and businesses in our municipalities,” 

said Collingswood Fire Chief 

Keith Davis. 

This shared service will save 

Collingswood $50,000, Pennsauken 

$70,000 and frees up fire fighters for 

emergencies and fire prevention efforts 

including education programs like 

smoke detectors programs, school outreach 

and other community services. The 

new inspection bureau framework is designed 

to allow other interested municipalities 

to partner for inspections as well. 

”This is set up so that other towns in 

the region can easily get on board as well 

and we can all see a savings in our inspection 

costs,” said Davis. 

“By merging, everyone wins,” said 

Pennsauken Fire Chief Joseph Palumbo. 

“Each town is leveraging their strengths 

to build upon the current inspection 

process with more comprehensive resources. 

We’ll get to do more inspections 

more thoroughly in a timely basis and at 

a better cost. That also means safer properties 

for both towns.” 

”This is another great example of local 

officials looking closely at ways to save 

money, opening the lines of communication 

and taking steps that have a serious 

impact on how we run our towns,” said 

Collingswood Mayor Jim Maley. “It’s 

more important now than ever that we investigate 

ways to work together to run

things as efficiently as possible.” 

“What really stands out about this 

shared services agreement is that it keeps 

firefighters on the trucks; so in addition to 

saving taxpayer money, we’re also improving 

the coverage of both of our fire depart- 

ments,” said Pennsauken Mayor Rick Taylor. 

“This innovative plan is a testament to 

the hard work of Chief Palumbo, our department 

of Public Safety, as well as Chief 

Davis, Mayor Maley and the good people 

of Collingswood.”

April is Child Abuse Awareness 

month. To draw attention to the plight of 

neglected and abused children, the 

Woman’s Club of Merchantville, the 

Evening Membership Department, and 

the Juniors are sponsoring two pinwheel 

gardens, one in Pennsauken and one in 

Merchantville. 

Prevent Child Abuse America’s campaign 

is an effort to change the way our 

nation thinks about prevention and how 

we can deliver on our commitment to 

America’s children. As the new symbol 

for child abuse and neglect prevention, 

the pinwheel is an uplifting reminder of 

childhood and the bright futures all children 

deserve. 

In 2011, New Jersey had 22 children 

die from abuse or neglect. There were 

also 8,238 reported cases of child abuse. 

Prevent Child Abuse America suggests 

the several alternatives to lashing 

out at your child:

Woman’s Club Sponsor Pinwheel Gardens To 

Help Prevent Child Abuse 

• Take a deep breath... and another. 

Then remember you are the adult. 

• Close your eyes and imagine you’re 

hearing what your child is about to 

hear. 

• Press your lips together and count to 

10, or better yet, to 20. 

• Put your child in a time-out chair. Remember 

this rule: one time-out minute 

for each year of age. 

• Put yourself in a time-out chair. Think 

about why you are angry: is it your 

child, or is your child simply a convenient 

target for your anger? 

• Phone a friend. 

• If someone can watch the children, go 

outside and take a walk. 

• Take a hot bath or splash cold water on 

your face. 

• Hug a pillow. 

• Turn on some music. Maybe even sing 

along. 

• Pick up a pencil and write down as 

many helpful words as you can think 

of. Save the list. 

For more information about the 

Woman’s Clubs and how you can help, 

call Jan, 609-410-4650 or email

Pinwheel gardens are being sponsored 

in Pennsauken and Merchantville to

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS 

By Billy Wright 

Pennsauken High School Athletic Director 

Balancing two hours of daily practice 

and the fatigue that goes along with it, 

taking long evening bus trips and competing 

three times a week, then finding 

the energy and time to do homework 

and study takes a unique mind-set and 

balancing of skills. Sixty-three of the one 

hundred sixty six winter athletes, 38 percent, 

qualified for the second marking 

period honor roll. The boys and girls 

bowling team led the field with 18 honorees, 

followed by the wrestling team 

with 15, the boys and girls winter track 

teams with 12, the girls basketball team 

with 10, and boys basketball with eight. 

Individual honors went to senior Kate 

Morse of the bowling team with a 4.42 

GPA, junior wrestler Jason Goldstein at 

4.16, sophomore indoor track student-athlete 

Jevante Parris at 3.63, and boys basketball 

freshman Diego Viera with a 4.48. 

Henderson District Champion 

For the third year in a row, a PHS 

wrestler has come out on top in the district 

wrestling tournament. Senior standout 

John Henderson earned a 9-2 win in 

the 120 lb. final to claim the gold medal 

and advance to the NJSIAA regions. 

As the number one seed, John earned a 

bye in the quarterfinals and won a 12-2 

semifinal bout to advance to the finals. 

Student Athletes Balance Both Academics And Sports 

Other recent PHS district champs were 

Peter Hoang last year, and Byron Rozier 

in 2011. 

Placing second was junior Edwin 

Lopez, who put up a gallant fight in the 

113 lb. final. Both John and Edwin advanced 

to the Region championships 

with the hope of a date in the finals in 

Atlantic City. 

Three other PHS wrestlers advanced 

to the consolation final with all or nothing 

on the line. Tyler Carducci lost a 6-5 heartbreaker 

at 138 lbs. and Thomas Fisher 

(132 lbs.) and Abdul Baasit-Lari (195 lbs.) 

came up short after noble efforts. 

Dickerson First At Eastern States 

Going back in history to the 1930’s, the 

New York City Armory has been the 

Mecca of indoor track and field on the 

East Coast. PHS senior Antwan Dickerson 

paid his respects to the old venue by 

leaping 22’ 11” to claim the long jump at 

the Eastern States Championships. The 

victory was only the second by a PHS 

athlete in the 89-year history of the meet. 

Previously, PHS Hall of Famer Alethia 

Jenkins won the 55 meter hurdles in 2000. 

A week earlier, Antwan competed in 

the NJSIAA Meet of Champions, looking 

to claim bragging rights as the best 

high hurdler in New Jersey. Antwan advanced 

to the finals and pulled lane 

seven, outside of the action in the middle 

St. Cecilia School 

presents 

 

of the track. Running his second best 

time of the season, Antwan came home 

sixth in a blanket finish decided at the 

line by 6/100ths of a second. 

Ten Receive Conference 

All Star Recognition 

Ten PHS athletes were recently 

named Burlington County Scholastic 

League all stars. Isaiah Ingram led the 

group by being named a first team 

honoree in voting by league coaches in 

basketball. The honor is his second of the 

year, as he was also named first team all 

league in football, where he is a two-time 

all star. Also named to the first team were 

John Henderson in wrestling and Jessica 

Bello in bowling. 

In addition, second team honors went 

to Stephen Cobb and Tanel Lewis in basketball; 

Meghan Guagenti and Walt 

Jones for bowling; and wrestling team 

members Edwin Lopez, Abdul Baasit 

Lari, and Hendrickson Tineo. 

Post Season All Star Game 

As special as being chosen a conference 

all star can be for a high school athlete, 

being chosen to compete in front of 

a large crowd in an all-star contest is arguably 

a bigger event. Post season invitations 

for all-star play were presented to 

John Henderson who was chosen to play 

in the Delaware-New Jersey Wrestling
