The Word on the Street
haddonfield.today | 3
By popular demand, the
Historical Society will repeat its
three-part Haddonfield 101 series
on Tue Aug 3, Thu Aug 5, and
Wed Aug 18, on Zoom.
If you could have dinner with
a notable American who is no
longer with us, who would it be,
and why?
“I loved watching
Carl Sagan’s ‘Cosmos’
show on TV, 40 years
ago,” says MICKEY
DELORENZO of
Haddonfield. “He
was such a good
teacher. He rang the
bell about climate
change and some
other major issues
the world is just
beginning to grapple
with.”
Audubon’s LEROY
HARRIS really
enjoyed ‘Ray,’ the
movie about Ray
Charles. “He faced
many obstacles
throughout his life.
I’m sure I would learn
a lot, if I could have
dinner with him.”
As a student at the
Elizabeth Haddon
School, ELAINE
ERCOLANI of
Haddonfield was
aware of the school’s
namesake. “I’d like
to find out how she
coped, as a woman
in a man’s world.”
“Ronald Reagan,”
says Haddonfield’s
ROGER JACOBS. “I’d
like to thank him for
tax-rate reduction,
deregulation, supply
side economics,
domestic growth,
and challenging
Russia.”
URSULA HARRIS
of Audubon says
that Della Reese
reminds her of her
grandmother. “The
way she talked and
presented herself.
If I had dinner with
her, I’d like to ask
her about what she
went through, as a
young woman and
as an entertainer.”
MIEKE MACKAY of
Cherry Hill grew up
in “a very patriarchal
environment in the
Philippines.” She
would to like dine
with Ruth Bader
Ginsburg and “find
out how she was
able to rise above
what American
society expected of
her, as a woman.”

Art camp emphasizes life skills
Believing that summer art camp is all about creative thinking and problem
solving while exploring a variety of art materials and processes, the Markeim
Arts Center is offering a summer program of activities and projects with
biweekly themes that emphasize life skills.
Of the eight weeks, all but three are completed. Registration is still available
for:
• Week 6 – Mon Jul 26 to Fri 30: Protecting our Animals and Creatures and
Beasts, Oh My! (social responsibility/global awareness).
• Weeks 7 and 8 – Mon Aug 2 to Fri 13: Building a Bright Future: STEAM
(teamwork/problem solving).
There are three attendance options:
• Morning session: 9am to 12n – $300 per week (members $275).
• Afternoon session: 1 to 4pm – $300 per week (members $275).
• Full day session: 9am to 4pm – $600 per week (members $550).
Campers have the option for registering for both weeks, or one week at a
time. Those who register for two-week blocks will receive a $20 discount off
their registration.
Registration will be limited to 36 campers per AM or PM session, which will
be split up into three cohorts of campers based on age and ability.
The Markeim has designed every day differently in order to expand
campers’ minds. Campers will spend the day alternating between indoor and
outdoor activities with their primary counselor, and will also participate in
specialty classes throughout the week, including yoga, dance, clay/ceramics.
Markeim will host an exhibit of campers’ artworks at the end of each
biweekly camp session.
Additional details and registration at markeimartscenter.org.

Outdoor story time at Greenfield Hall
After a break last year due to Covid-19, the Historical Society is partnering
again with the Public Library to host three children’s story times this summer.
One of the sessions had to be postponed because of inclement weather. The
new date is Fri Jul 30, and children age 4 and up are invited to the gardens
behind Greenfield Hall – 343 Kings Highway East – 10:30 to 11 am.
The Public Library’s Eric Zino and Jordan Bilodeau and Historical Society
board member Deborah Garwood are leading these events, which will include
historical stories and a craft activity.
The story times are free, but space is limited and reservations are required.
Register only the child/children you will be escorting to the event, so the
Library can plan enough crafts for all children attending.
RSVP here – bit.ly/3qlrouf – or scan the QR n code in the margin.

Recent Issues
Do I look fat in this dress?
As a follow-up to its presentation of The Vagina
Monologues, Haddonfield Plays & Players has
scheduled a staged reading of The Good Body for
Thu Aug 5, Fri Aug 6, and Sat Aug 7 at 8pm.
In this work, Eve Ensler turns her unique eye to
the rest of the female form. Whether undergoing
Botox injections or living beneath burqas, women
of all cultures and backgrounds feel compelled to
change the way they look in order to fit in. The Good
Body merges cross-cultural explorations with Eve’s
own personal journey coming to terms with her
“less-than-flat, post-forties stomach.”
The San Francisco Chronicle described The Good
Body as “passionate, funny, frank, revealing, even
shocking, and genuinely committed to improving
life on this planet.”
A New York Times’ critic wrote: “Ms. Ensler wants
to soften the ever-fraught relationship between
American women and their bodies, to expose the
destructive formulas that lead them to assuage
their insecurities by punishing their flesh … rich
in pointed, amusing details … forthrightly funny …
bristling with wisecracks [and] exotically harvested
snippets of wisdom.”
Tickets are $20 and may be purchased online
here: bit.ly/3xZveMy -- or scan the QR code n.
The Good Body will be presented on Plays &
Players’ outdoor stage.

structures on the campus are specifically excluded
from the scope of work.

NDOTTO’S
RESCUE &
REHAB
.
There was a time when the sight of elephants on Kings
Highway in Haddonfield was relatively commonplace.
In June 1940, for example, the Hamid-Morton Circus
came to town and paraded down the Highway on its
way to a two-day extravaganza at the High School. In
May 1959, the Hunt Brothers Circus – which boasted
“the second-largest privately owned elephant herd
on this continent” – set up camp and three rings
(presumably) at Crows Woods, following an
obligatory march down the main street.
Circuses – especially those with elephants – are vanishing from the pantheon
of popular entertainment. And the parade down Main Street featuring
elephants and other “wild” animals is certainly a thing from the past.
Well, except ...
At about 10:30am on Thursday, August 5, a 450-pound baby elephant named
Ndotto will be driven down Kings Highway, from a starting-point in the vicinity
of the Hadrosaurus sculpture. His destination will be the Children’s Sculpture
Zoo, a project of Haddonfield Outdoor Sculpture Trust (HOST) – which I chair
– within the Tatem Memorial Garden at Kings Highway East and Evergreen.
Ndotto is a bronze sculpture
– about 4ft 6in high and long,
and about 3ft wide – based on
a real-life orphaned elephant
found wandering a remote
region of Kenya in 2014. Just two
days old, alone and scared, he
was rescued by local tribesmen
and rehabilitated at the worldrenowned
Sheldrick Wildlife
Trust.
The story of Ndotto’s dramatic
rescue inspired Australian
sculptors Gillie and Marc
Schattner to create an exhibit
of 21 life-sized bronze elephants that became not only the hit of London in
2020 but also a vehicle for raising awareness and funds for the protection of
endangered animals.
The Schattners cast three Ndottos. One is in London, another is in New York,
and the third is coming (permanently) to Haddonfield.
HOST invites “elephant lovers of all ages” to line Kings Highway at 10:30am
on August 5 to welcome Ndotto to town, or to go to the Sculpture Zoo and
watch as he is maneuvered into his new home, at about 11am (rain or shine).
Ndotto will join a life-sized giraffe, a bunny, a toad, and a sea lion in what has
become a very popular component of the Tatem Memorial Garden.
The acquisition of Ndotto was made possible by generous donations from
Joseph E. Murphy, Lisa Wolschina, 1st Colonial Community Bank, and Surety
Title Company.
