Fundraiser Hopes
To Save Almost
Home Animal
Shelter
For years, Almost Home Animal Shelter in Pennsauken has been doing more
with less to help find homes for abandoned and abused animals. But the financial burden this year has been truly
overwhelming. Before the end of the year,
the shelter’s operating budget will have
been all but depleted and Almost Home
will have no choice but to close its doors.
As an eleventh hour attempt to raise
crucial funds, friends of the Almost Home
Animal Shelter are hosting a special benefit on Friday, Nov. 15 from 7:00 to 11:00
p.m. at the gymnasium of Saint Stephen’s
Roman Catholic Church, 6300 Browning
Rd., Pennsauken. This “Taste of Pennsauken” style event will feature area
restaurants offering a variety of food samplings, DJ and band for dancing, auctions,
and more. Tickets are $35 per person or
$60 per couple and can be purchased at
the shelter, located at 9140 Pennsauken
Hwy., Suite C.
In addition, Almost Home Animal
Shelter is accepting donations of Nutro
Max dog and cat food, blankets, cleaning
supplies, etc.; a more specific list can be
found on the shelter’s Amazon.com wish
list.There are also many animals ready for
adoption in need of a good home.
For more information on the benefit, or
how you can help, visit Almost Home Animal Shelter or All Around Pennsauken’s
pages on Facebook.

Pennsauken Events Kick-Off Holidays, Season Of Giving
Pennsauken Township has a long standing tradition of truly embracing the holiday season. Not only are the holidays
perfect opportunities for residents to come
together as a community, but they also
help to remind individuals about the importance of giving back to those less fortunate. From annual parades to angel
trees, Pennsauken residents are sure to
find something that helps to get them into
the holiday spirit.
Kicking Off The Season
With A Parade
Pennsauken’s Holiday Parade will kick
off at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 30. Filled
with fire engines, holiday-themed floats
and musical entertainment, the parade is
a favorite of young children. It runs along

Ribbon Cut On Pennsauken’s New Transit Center
Last month, representatives from NJ
Transit joined local, state and federal officials to celebrate the opening of the
new Pennsauken Transit Center, which
offers customers new travel options via
a direct link between River Line light rail
service and Atlantic City Rail Line
(ACRL) service for the very first time.
“This new facility will provide customers with convenient access to a much
broader array of travel destinations by
connecting South Jersey’s two commuter lines,” said NJ Transit Executive
Director James Weinstein. “As an intermodal transit hub, Pennsauken Transit
Center will connect light rail service that
operates between Camden and Trenton
with commuter rail service that carries
customers between Atlantic City and
Philadelphia, offering customers of both
lines a means of accessing all stations.”
“The Pennsauken Transit Center will
make our State’s rail and light rail service
an even more attractive travel option for
South Jersey residents,” said New Jersey
Department of Transportation Commissioner and NJ Transit Board Chairman
James Simpson.“By providing a connection point between rail and light rail, the
new station will expand the reach of
these individual services for residents
and visitors alike.”
“It’s just wonderful,” added Pennsauken Deputy Mayor Jack Killion, who
spoke during the Transit Center’s opening. “The good, hard working people of
Pennsauken and the people of the surrounding communities certainly deserve
this. We have to thank NJ Transit and
everyone else involved with this wonderful project.”
Trains and light rail vehicles began
serving Pennsauken Transit Center at
the start of the service day October 14.
The new facility was constructed in
two phases along Derousse Ave. where
the ACRL crosses above the River Line
tracks.
Phase I, which broke ground in October 2009, covered River Line elements of
the project, including construction of a
200-foot platform with 60-foot canopy to
protect customers boarding light rail trains.
In Phase II, two 300-foot-long, highlevel platforms were built on either side

Fifty Years Ago, The News From Dallas That Shook Us All
By Robert FisherHughes, AAP Columnist
and Amateur Historian
Later this month, we will mark the
50th anniversary of one of the most
tragic and traumatic single events in
American history. Such events change us,
often in ways we try to deny. Successions
of such transformative events may even
make it difficult to recall how we were
before. The assassination of President
John F. Kennedy was such an event, and
the succeeding decades have been truly
LOOKING BACK
IN HISTORY
transformative. So it may be well to remember not only the event, but also who
we were as a people and as a community
when it happened.
America in the early 1960s was expansive in its view of itself and its place in the
world. Its vision was brave and its possibilities seemed boundless.The Cold War
was at its height and served as the prism

through which America viewed the
world. However, the industrial might and
technological prowess of the United
States seemed to make that situation
merely one more challenge to be met,
along with the rising expectations triggered by the Civil Rights Movement.
For many Americans, the youthful and
vigorous man who was President of the
United States symbolized the willingness
to face those challenges.
In most respects,PennsaukenTownship
was a reflection of America in those days.
Pennsauken, too, was expansive in 1963.
New businesses continued to relocate
to Pennsauken’s new industrial parks, pioneered by local political and business
leader W. Leslie Rogers. Among the
businesses employing Pennsauken residents in the industrial parks were Ford
Motor Company, Pepsi Cola Bottling,
Schaevitz Engineering, Rice and Holman, International Harvester, Reisman
Pretzels, Mack Truck, Hess Oil, Weyerhauser, and many more. Later in 1963,
these were joined by the Continental
Can Company and Fessenden Hall.
A thriving hospitality sector in Pennsauken included the Ivystone Inn, the
Holly House Restaurant, the Penn
Queen, the Pennsauken Diner, the Dew
Drop Inn, The Embers Lounge, Dick
Clark’s Steer Inn, and many more.

still bringing in top acts like Maynard
Ferguson and Gerry Mulligan. Uncle
Milty’s on River Rd. brought in many
top acts, too, including the Ink Spots and
“recording star” Al Alberts, before he
began his televised talent show.The Walt
Whitman Theatre on Westfield Ave. presented the big films of the year such as
Walt Disney’s “20,000 Leagues Under
the Sea” and “The Manchurian Candidate.” Of course, there were also still local
drive-in movie theatres for the private
enjoyment of the mobility-minded.
The Pennsauken School District was
also expansive. During 1963, bonds were
passed to build two new elementary
schools: one in the Iron Rock section
and one in Highland to replace the
Greenville School, whose newly retired
principal, Gertrude Connor, was off to
travel the world. When George B. Fine
died later in the year, one of the new
schools was named for him as the former
supervising principal of the district from
1911 to 1947. The other school was
named for the late New Jersey Supreme
Court Justice from Pennsauken, Albert
Burling.There were also plans to build a
new Junior High School and convert the
older one on Merchantville Ave. to the
elementary level.
Still, early in 1963, a woman on the
Pennsauken Board of Education, Hannah Rowan, felt it necessary to wear a gas
mask to a board meeting to protest
against the male members’ smoking of
cigars during meetings.
In the retail sector, the Pennsauken
Merchandise Mart was still a relatively
new entry and promoted its brand
through its new sign, the big “M,” which
it advertised as “the sign of progress.”
For media, in the absence of All
Around Pennsauken and Pennsauken
Television, an independent, award-winning newspaper, The Community News,
was published weekly, covering Pennsauken, Merchantville, and surrounding
communities in depth.
Troubles still arose in the Township.
Eight young men were arrested among
25 who were in the midst of a gang rumble at Westfield and Browning, when
spotted by Pennsauken patrolman
Thomas Busch. All wound up facing the
bench of Judge Yost, who issued fines
and stern admonitions. In the schools, repeated bomb scares were becoming a
problem, and appeals to help end them
went out to students and parents. Local
editorialists railed against the dangers of
Communism.
That was Pennsauken in 1963; in
many respects, that was also America.
Then came Nov. 22 and the events in
Dallas. The shots rang out around 12:30
p.m. Central Time.
For many people who were old enough
to remember, where they were and how
they heard the terrible news remains indelible. Many children, still in school when
the news spread,were informed in hushed
and compassionate tones by their teachers before being sent home.
For over 72 hours, America followed
the terrible story. Network television
focused on it to the exclusion of its commercial programming.A local commentator remarked that, in this, “television
came into its own as a tool of mankind
instead of a toy.”
Township meetings on the day of the
funeral were cancelled, all business carried over and items that ran past legislative deadlines had to be reintroduced.
The high school senior play, which debuted in Merchantville on the day of the
assassination, had its second performance postponed two weeks, first for the
mourning period and then due to the
Thanksgiving holiday.
A Pennsauken Junior High School assembly was altered from its original program; instead, a solemn slideshow of
American scenes and President
Kennedy was shown over the music,
“America the Beautiful.” Teacher Jack
Fichter read a selection of favorite quotations of President Kennedy.
The Community News had been published the day before the assassination,

Pennsauken Township Achieves Sustainable Jersey Certification
Sustainable Jersey representatives recently announced that Pennsauken
Township has achieved Sustainable Jersey certification. The certified communities are leading the way as many more
New Jersey towns are actively working on
becoming certified. Sustainable Jersey’s
380 participating communities represent
over half of the state’s municipalities and
nearly 75 percent of its population.
“We’re very excited to receive this
certification from Sustainable New Jersey,” says Pennsauken Mayor Rick Taylor.“This is just one step in many to help
make Pennsauken a vibrant, green community for future generations.”
The certification is good for three
years. This is the first time Pennsauken
has received bronze-level certification.
The program is voluntary, but achieving certification is not easy. Each Sustainable Jersey municipality that is certified
at the bronze-level must submit documentation to show it has completed a
balance of the program’s sustainability
actions, meeting a minimum of 150
points. Typically a town will select 10-12
actions from a potential list of over 117
actions that include areas such as a commitment to environmental stewardship,
community gardens, supporting local
businesses, conservation of energy and
water and waste reduction and recycling.
In addition to reaching the required
points, each community has to create a
Green Team and select at least two (for
bronze-level) and at least three (for sil-
It’s Not Too Late
To Join Cub Scouts
The Pack has been getting phone calls
and e-mails from parents who would like
their sons to be in Cub Scouts, but they
are playing sports such as football and
soccer on the same night as Pack Den
and Pack meetings.
Cub Scout Pack 116 is still accepting
new members. If you want your son to
join, it’s not too late. Pack 116 is happy to
have boys come out after the fall sports
season is over. The pack meets the first
and third Fridays. In the next few months,
they will be meeting on Nov. 1, 15, and
Dec. 13. Dec 6 is the Merchantville
Christmas Parade, so there will be no den
meetings. And since the boys work at
their own pace, your sons can even join
in January and February!

ver-level) of the seven priority actions
that include energy audits for municipal
buildings, a municipal carbon footprint,
a sustainable land use pledge, a natural
resource inventory, a water conservation
ordinance, a fleet inventory, and/or Energy Star Portfolio Manager.
“Sustainable Jersey is successful,”
notes Donna Drewes, who co-directs the
organization with Randall Solomon,
“because it champions community-led
decision-making and leadership, rather
than mandating a top-down, one-sizefits-all plan for New Jersey.” The technical content of the program’s actions are
developed with the help of 22 task forces
that comprise of New Jersey state and
local officials, experts, non-profit groups,

officially moved into Pennsauken Township with a ribbon cutting ceremony and
open house held in late September.
Serving customers since 1978, this
family-owned and operated business

Originating from Collingswood, the

location, consisting of 5,000 square feet of
office space and a 1,800 square-foot warehouse, in order to better accommodate
their growing business,according to Jamie
Curtis, president of Independent Alarm.
“We’re a local, family operated business and we wanted to stay local.
Pennsauken’s a close town [to Collingswood]. It worked out well with the office
space. It had the warehouse space that we
needed and the parking worked out well.
On top of that, we did some research and
found that the town is really conducive
to businesses. We thought it was a great
fit for us.”

A BIG Thank You
To Local Businesses
The Business, Industry and Government Council of Pennsauken Township
would like to thank two local businesses
for their support of our community.
Harris Bouquet and Creations, located on 7616 Maple Ave. in Pennsauken
has donated $1,200 worth of plants and
flowers for use at Pennsauken’s Welcome Wall, located on the corner of Haddonfield Rd. and Maple Ave., as well as
throughout town. In addition, The
Mower Shop, located at 7745 Maple
Ave., has agreed to help with the landscaping and upkeep of the grounds
around the Welcome Wall.
“It’s all about businesses coming together to make our community a better
place,” says Tim Ellis, B.I.G. Council
chairperson.“We really appreciate companies like Harris Bouquet and The
Mower Shop helping insure that
Pennsauken, and our Welcome Wall in
particular, is clean and green.”
BIG Things
Are Happening
Larry Cardwell and Terry Carr of
Pennsauken’s Economic Development
Department were on hand to help
cut the ribbon on the new Santander
Bank on 5714 Westfield Ave. Previously known as Sovereign Bank,
Santander was recently ranked as
43rd in the Forbes Global 2000 list
of the world’s largest companies.
Before It
Decorated a Wall,
It Decorated a Man
Let us not forget that the medals
and citations that hang in our
hallways and above our mantels
were not given for decoration, but
rather dedication. Dedication to our
nation, its values and its ideals. Men
earned these honors for our children.And for their children.
We should never let them forget
the power of a life.Ask about our
service for veterans.

Fifty Years Ago, The News From Dallas That Shook Us All
so its next issue was almost a week later.
Nevertheless, it seemed still to grope for
expression and comprehension. The
newspaper ran an apology for its political
counterpoint editorials for discussing
mere politics, as they had been written
prior to the event. It even excised their
speculation on the coming 1964 elections.
It also ran a spare, quarter-page tribute
on the front page with a portrait in sil-
houette that noted that “This, too, was a
profile in courage.”
On the paper’s editorial pages, the effort to express what had happened and
its significance continued for weeks. At
times, local commentary seemed
plunged into despair, as when regular
columnist Al Mattern wrote that “it
sometimes appears that sanity is simply
a mask which, like an actor, man dons to
disguise the animal lying within.”
Another regular, local commentator
wrote that “When he died, it was as if the
world stood still, and still it remained
from the moment that fatal bullet struck
him ‘till the last poignant echo of taps
shuddered across the weeping silence of
Arlington.” This was a sentiment that
could not be fully understood again, perhaps, until succeeding tragedies, the
deaths of Martin Luther King, Jr. and
Robert Kennedy, the space shuttle disas-

Bonded & Insured
ters, and the events of September 11,
2001 revived them.
It is to be hoped that the most enduring local expression of that time may
have been the sentiment contained in the
lead editorial of the Community News
on November 28, 1963: “It was mortal to
the man, but not to the concepts represented by him, his office, and his country.
That knowledge is one remnant which
may provide some solace on the coming
Thanksgiving.” May it remain so.

contemporary news accounts in the
Courier Post and the Community News.

Touchdown! Thankful For Family,
Football, And Fond Memories
By Judith Kristen, AAP Columnist
It doesn’t matter if this Thanksgiving
finds you dining on traditional holiday
fare, or tofurkey, or turducken. No matter
which one of those you're eating, it will
take your hard-working chef 28 hours to:
shop for, prep, cook, bake, serve, and
clean up everything, and then, in one
“fowl” swoop, it will all be devoured
within fifteen minutes or less.
How do I know this? Because halftime is fifteen minutes.
Not that I’m not a football fan. Anyone who knows me can attest to that fact.
I LOVE the game. I’d rather forego my
favorite pumpkin pie than to miss watching football.
And, I have my father to thank for
that.
Dad is long gone, but the memories of
our bonding time over the game of football will forever bring a smile to my face.
I was the first-born, and Dad was hoping for a boy, so he could share his love of
the game, but, his first-born was me: a girl.
Girl or not, Dad soon realized that his
joy for football was as easy for me to
catch as a one-yard pass.
And so, I become his football buddy!
We went to elementary school games,
high school games, we'd listen to football
on the radio, watch the games on TV, and
then came those glorious times when we
would actually see The Eagles play at
Franklin Field.
Dad would root and cheer, and I
would root and cheer right along side of
him. We'd sit there drinking a soda, eat-
ing the most delicious hot dogs I'd ever
tasted; and along with all that, we were
there loving the competition, the heart
and soul of the team, the passion of its
players, the honest sportsmanship, everything from the most glorious of victories
to the most heart-breaking of losses.And
there we were, the two of us, side by side
for all of it.
I learned a lot about life watching
those football games.
When my father passed, I asked my
Mom if it was okay to put a small Eagles
flag in there with him. She was a bit on
the conventional side, but she understood and so... Mom said, “Okay.”
Now every time I watch a football
game, or hear one on the radio, I'm still
cheering and whistling, and laughing, and
yelling, and having the time of my life.
I can almost see my father up there in
heaven waving that little green and white
flag, still cheering right along with me.
Joy is a wonderful gift to give to a
child. And for that gift I am still most
thankful, on this Thanksgiving, and every
single day in-between.
I wish for you all to create your own
joyful memories this holiday season.
They will live within you, and eventually
outlast you when you do it right.
And so, my friends, here’s to doing it
right this Thanksgiving.
Peace and Love and all Good
Things…

Carson Students Celebrate Career Day
Parent Teacher Conferences
Held In November
By Marilyn Martinez, Superintendent, Pennsauken School District
By Marilyn Martinez, Superintendent,
Pennsauken School District
Our school year is moving quickly
ahead and we are already halfway
through the fall season.The first marking
period will come to an end on Nov. 6;
that means our district Parent Teacher
Conferences are just around the corner.
Parent Teacher Conferences are a
tremendous opportunity for parents to
learn more about their child’s progress
while meeting their teachers. When
preparing for your conference, please remember to ask your child if there is anything they would like you to discuss with
their teacher. Also, be sure to share any
challenges that you see at home that
might affect your child’s progress.
Conferences are scheduled as follows:
Pennsauken High School – Nov. 19
Pennsauken Intermediate School – Nov. 20
Phifer Middle School – Nov. 21
Elementary Schools – Nov. 25-27
(Scheduled by appointment)
More information regarding Parent
Teacher Conferences will be sent home
from the individual schools.
In addition, our teachers have been
working on developing student growth
objectives for their classrooms. Student
growth objectives are long term academic goals that teachers set for groups
of students based on available prior student learning data and aligned to New
Jersey’s curriculum standards. These
goals ensure that every minute of instruction is moving students towards
higher levels of achievement.
As we head into November, please
remember that on Sunday, Nov. 3, Daylight Savings Time comes to end and our
clocks will fall back an hour.
We continue to see great successes
happening each day in our schools as we
go on “Soaring to New Heights.”
Phifer Middle School News
Do children still dream about what
they want to be when they grow up? Of
course they do! It was quite evident at
Carson’s Gifted Language Arts Annual
Career Day.
As a culminating activity to reading
“Oh,The Places You’ll Go,” by Dr. Seuss,
students in Mrs. Eisenmann’s class researched their potential future career.
They read to find more information
about what the career involves, and the
steps they would need to follow to
achieve their dream.
The students learned the necessary
avenues in education they would need
to take in order to be qualified for their
specific career. After researching and
reading, students wrote essays about
their future careers and created 3-D Personal Goal Trees.
The highlight of this unit was having
invited guests present their careers to the
class. Students were excited to hear
about the variety of occupations and
what was needed to obtain that particular job.
Kudos to the following professionals
who gave the students firsthand knowledge of their awesome careers: Dr.
Maya Lewis, social worker and professor
at Stockton University; James Casey, corrections officer; Ronney Perry, aircraft
mechanic;Adadila Echevarria, program
assistant; and Mardi Gibbons, principal.
All of the presenters had valuable information to share about their careers. One
theme that resonated in all of their presentations was the advice for the children
to work hard in school each and every
day. All guests stressed that sharp reading and math skills are the keys to future
success in whatever they choose to do.
The students in this group have definite goals and dreams. Take a good look

Phifer Middle School teachers Ms. Taormina and Ms. Silver were pleased to
welcome reading specialist Ms. Kaminski into their eighth grade classroom
via Skype on Sept. 19. Ms. Kaminski shared with students reading strategies
of highly effective readers and engaged the class in a motivational discussion
about growing as readers. The students enjoyed this experience very much.

Franklin School Commemorates 9-11 2013 Ike Willis Scholarship Golf Outing A Success
Franklin School marked the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks by holding a school-wide ceremony. Head Teacher, Mrs. Drexel spoke
of the importance of this historical event and then along with classroom representatives led the Pledge of Allegiance for the school.
Since 1990, the Ike Willis Scholarship
Golf Outing has distributed $178,000 to
264 students at Pennsauken High School
and $2,200 to 44 students at Phifer Middle School. Over 90 golfers, some who
have been in attendance all 23 years, others relatively new to the event, all came
together to raise funds in memory of
Robert “Ike” C. Willis, a lifelong
Pennsauken resident who served as the
athletic director of Pennsauken High
School for over 20 years.
This year, the committee has increased the amount of the scholarships.
The two $2,000 athletic awards will be increased to $3,000 and the eight $500
awards will be increased to $750 for a
total of $12,200.
Jim Soukup claimed Low Gross and
Jeff Keel Low Net for the men while
Mardi Gibbons claimed Low Gross and
Debbi Hill Low Net for the women.
Mike Burke was closest to the pin on the
third hole (3 feet, 7 inches). Greg
Semenetz was closest to the pin on the
11th hole (9 feet, 4 inches). Jack McGrann was closest to the pin on the 15th
hole (19 inches).
The longest drive on the 10th hole for
the women was Sharon Rogers. The
longest drive for the men on the 16th
hole was Mike Burke.The big winner of
the raffle for two nights at the New York
Marriott Marquis with dinner at The
View and $200.00 spending money was
Tara Aviles. CJ Burns grabbed the $250
Buy a Block prize.
But the biggest winners will be the 10
seniors from Pennsauken High School
and the two eighth graders from Phifer
Middle School who will be awarded a
total of $12,200 this June.
Pennsauken Schools Observe Fire
Prevention Week
October is National Fire Prevention
Month, a time when we should all be
aware of ways to help learn fire safety
and prevention.
Pennsauken Fire Department visited
the elementary schools taking part in
National Fire Prevention Week.
The firemen dressed for the job, show-
ing the students what equipment firefighters use to put out fires and the special clothes that firefighters wear to keep
them safe.
The students would like to say thank
you to the Pennsauken Fire Department
for their support and efforts.
Pennsauken Firefighter Dan Kerr
stresses the many things that people
can do to improve their safety at
home, school, or work from fire.

Bowne’s class at Franklin School

Fine Kindergarteners
Get “Buddy Time”
With Older Students
The month of September was very
busy in Ms. Ratkevic’s Kindergarten
class.The students are working very hard,
learning the routines and procedures of
the day in the classroom and in the
school.
Kindergarten can be a timid time at
first for the students. For some, this is the
first time in a classroom and a school; for
others, it is the first time they have spent
the entire day in school.
In order to ease the transition into the
school life, teachers Mrs. Shultz and Ms.
Ratkevic have decided to introduce the
third and fourth grade classes to the
Kindergarten class. During this time, the
students will buddy read together every
Friday morning for approximately 20-30
minutes.
Great success has been seen with both
groups of students; they get to make a
buddy in the school to wave and say,
“hello” to in the hallway. Students also
get to listen to different types of stories
chosen by the third and fourth graders.
Also, the third and fourth grade students get to experience a sense of responsibility and kindness to show
towards students that are younger than
they are. So far, both groups are really
enjoying themselves Friday mornings!
The teachers hope to incorporate projects and writing into the buddy time on
Fridays as well.
GRAND RE-OPENING!!!

Delair School Partners With
PHS Latino Culture Club
Fine Students Learn About Fire Safety
Throughout the school year, members
of the Latino Culture Club will visit selected classrooms at Delair School as
part of a literacy initiative.
In September, PHS students shared a
story focusing on Hispanic Heritage
Month, by reading in Spanish to the children, giving an inspirational talk, and
leaving students with an activity to improve their local community.
Arrangements for this activity were
provided by the advisor of the Latino
Cultures Club, Ms. Mendez. This club
gives PHS Latino students an opportunity to explore topics of their own ethnicity, as well as sharing it with the
student body and staff.
The Latino Club is very busy with
other activities, including visiting colleges
and universities that are looking to expand their Latino population and attending the annual Hispanic Leadership
Conference at Rowan University.
They will finish the month's activities
with a culminating assembly, where the
students will perform the Puerto Rican
anthem, recite poetry, and dance.
In December, the club plans to have a
Christmas celebration; in the spring, the
students will go to New York City and
learn about the first Latino immigrants
and see a Spanish, Off Broadway play.
These activities provide great opportunities for the students to assimilate
with each other in a positive way.
“Stop, Drop, and Roll!”Thanks to the
hard-working Pennsauken Fire Department, children at George B. Fine School
learned why fire safety is so important.
Firefighters Perry Bascou and Jon Hutton donned on their fire apparel and explained what to do in case of a fire:
1. If a fire breaks out, alert others by
shouting “FIRE!” or by sounding an
alarm.
2. If you smell smoke, drop down and
crawl to an exit.
3. Touch closed doors first. Open only if
they are not hot!
4. If your clothes catch fire, do not run!
Stop, drop and roll!
5. Follow the best escape route as
quickly as possible.
6. Meet other family members at designated area.
7. Call 911 from a safe place.
8. Do not go back into the burning
building!
Thanks again to the Pennsauken Fire
Department for all that you do and taking the time to visit Pennsauken’s Fine
school family!

WAGSWORLD
By Bob Wagner
AAP Columnist
I received an e-mail from Santa this
weekend. I was reluctant to open it at
first, as I thought I would find myself
posted to the permanent naughty list,
and stuck with coal
inmy stockings.
But
after fortifying myself with a cup of
Determined To Keep Holiday Parade Goers Off The Naughty List
cocoa, I plunged right in.
Apparently my plan to participate in
the Township Christmas parade up
Westfield Ave. has reached all the way
to the North Pole. Santa's concern, it
seems, is that I'll drive the ‘63 Volkswagen.
Santa
has no
about the
ill feelings
diminutive V.W. Beetle, and he claims to
own a few himself. His worry regards
the strange mystique shared by small
children the world over, calling beetles
“punch buggies.”
Neither of us know how it started, but I
do know that as I putter about in the bug,
I see small children turn to their friends,
yell,“Punch buggy!”and whack their nearest friend with a punch on the arm.With a
parade route over 20 blocks long, that
could create hundreds of sore arms, and
maybe a scrap or two.With the naughty list
nearing the final countdown to Christmas,
Santa didn't want a momentary lapse
pushing the good kids over the edge.
So I am faced with a dilemma. The
V.W. is the neatest, cleanest vehicle in
my garage. The motorcycle and sidecar
are parked next to each other, but not
hooked up. The Bronco is halfway to a
convertible, but the roll cage isn't put in
yet. The red mini bike doesn't have the
side car on yet, either. What's a poor
boy to do?
I have a few days left before a final
decision must be made. I wanted the delightful Mrs. Wags to ride in the side car,
alternately waving to the crowd and
flinging candy canes. But she informed
me in no uncertain terms that one: she
didn't trust me to drive the bike; two: she
wouldn't be crammed into that tight
side car with a bag of candy canes and a
crazy man on a motorcycle; and three: it
was hard enough living with me, never
mind sitting next to me in a death trap
filled with candy canes and old motor
cycle smoke!
So, once again I'm off to the garage, to
figure it all out. Armed with coffee cup,
stacks of sales brochures for bikes and
old cars, and the unfettered enthusiasm
of a true crazy man, I will prevail. Something good will happen.
If you are standing on the parade
route, and see a gray V.W. Beetle coming
up the road, please attempt to restrain
yourself from punching the arm of the
nice person next to you. If you cannot restrain yourself, please find the ever tolerant Mrs. Wags in the crowd, and give
her arm a gentle tap. Then run like the
hounds of hell are after you. Santa won't
put you on his naughty list. Mrs. Wags
might put you on her list, but it would do
her good, and it might take her mind off
the whole sidecar/motorcycle/burn down
the porch business this year.
Happy Thanksgiving! See you at the
parade.

Gonzalez Competes In Miss New Jersey USA Finals
Pennsauken’s Phyllis Mignogna Turns 105
Page 17
“My Mom made me do it.”
That’s the answer Victoria Gonzalez,
a 23-year-old Pennsauken resident and
senior at Rutgers University Camden,
gives when asked why she decided to initially try and become Miss New Jersey
USA 2014. But as she went through the
process and ultimately reached the state
finals, held at the Hilton Hotel in Parsippany, NJ October 18-20, Gonzalez became more and more excited to
compete.
“I didn’t think I would qualify to be a
state finalist,” says Victoria. “Once I got
that far, I thought, ‘this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.’”
By her own admission, Gonzalez is not
your typical “pageant girl;” she’s 4’11” and
“feels more comfortable in cleats than
high heels.” But becoming a state finalist
at the Miss New Jersey USA pageant has
provided her with a unique platform to
get an important message across.
“I really want to target young women
and let them know that ‘modest is definitely hottest,’” explains Gonzalez, who
further portrayed her message by wearing a more conservative evening gown
and bathing suit during the competition.
To give you some perspective, when Phyllis Mignogna
was born on August 30, 1908,
Theodore Roosevelt was
President of the United States;
the Ford Model T hadn’t hit
the assembly line; there was no
such thing as a commercial
airline; and the first practical

Pennsauken resident Victoria Gonzalez was selected as a state finalist in the Miss
New Jersey USA 2014 pageant, held last month in Parsippany, NJ.
“Being able to compete for something
like Miss New Jersey will allow me to
reach a greater group of people that I
could do on my own.”
Ultimately, 18-year-old Emily Shah of

2014 title. But while Victoria didn’t get a
chance to represent Pennsauken and the

tion, she already gained a great deal.
“Preparing for this pageant has prepared me to look at my future more seriously, where I want to go and how I

emergencies – call 663-0045 anytime.
Preparing For Cold Weather
Now is the time to begin preparing for the cold winter months.
Insulating or wrapping your hot
water heater can make a significant
savings in your energy bill. The
water heater doesn’t have to work
as hard when insulated, saving you
money by avoiding premature replacement. Insulating wraps for
water heaters can be found at any
well stocked hardware store.
Be sure to turn off the water sup-
ply to any outside faucets or water
lines, or to lines that run in unheated
spaces. Water lines which must be
kept “active” can be protected from
bursting with inexpensive electrical
tape. When temperatures drop, it
warms the pipes. Make sure that the
electrical tape is UL approved and
install according to the directions.
And last but not least, disconnect,
drain and store your garden hose to
avoid winter weather damage.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR REMOTE READ DEVICES
If you have a remote device on the exterior of your property that allows us to read your water meter, we need to verify that it is
working properly and recording your water usage accurately. Recent issues with the remotes have caused inaccurate readings
and higher customer bills. Please help us keep your readings accurate and costs as low as possible.
Please compare the reading on your remote device with the meter inside your home and contact the MPWC
with both readings. You may record your readings below and call the number listed.
Outside Remote: ___________________________ Inside Meter: ______________________________
To Report Your Readings Call 856-663-6355
Please contact us with your In/Out readings at your earliest convenience so that
we can provide accurate billing and correct any discrepancies immediately.
Thank You For Your Cooperation!
If you have specific questions, please contact our office during regular business hours, Monday – Friday, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

LeafCollection,YardWaste
PickUpKeepsPennsaukenClean
By Bernie Kofoet
Public Works Superintendent
As we begin the holiday season, I
would like to remind everyone of a few
things which will help keep Pennsauken
looking good.
Leaf collection continues in all areas
of town.As the Mayor’s excellent article
in the October issue pointed out, local
ordinances prohibit anything other than
storm water from entering the storm
water management system, including
grass clipping and leaves.
The best way to prevent this from
happening is to bag the leaves from your
property. Do not rake your leaves into
the street. Bagging not only keeps leaves
from clogging the storm drains, it also
keeps them from blowing back onto
your or your neighbors’ properties.
Please remember this and take advantage of the once a week collection of
yard waste, including leaves, that the
Township provides through our solid
waste collection contractor.

As a resident, business or other member of the New Jersey community, it is
important to know these easy things you
can do every day to protect our water.
Limit your use of fertilizers
and pesticides.
■ Do a soil test to see if you need a fer-
tilizer.
Easy Things You Can Do Every Day To Protect Our Water
you store or dispose of them properly.
Read the label for guidance.
■ Use natural or less toxic alternatives
when possible.
■ Recycle used motor oil.
■ Contact your municipality, county or
facility management office for the locations of hazardous waste disposal facilities.
Don’t Feed Wildlife
■ Do not feed wildlife, such as ducks and
geese, in public areas.
■ Many municipalities and other public
agencies must enact and enforce a rule
that prohibits wildlife feeding in these
areas.
■ Do not apply fertilizers if heavy rain is
predicted.
■ Look into alternatives for pesticides.
■ Maintain a small lawn and keep the
rest of your property or yard in a natural state with trees and other native
vegetation that requires little or no fertilizer.
■ If you use fertilizers and pesticides, follow the instructions on the label on
how to correctly apply it.
■ If you have hazardous products in
your home or workplace, make sure
Don’t Litter
Properly Use and Dispose
of Hazardous Products
products include some
household or commercial cleaning
products, lawn and garden care products, motor oil, antifreeze and paints.
■ Do not pour any hazardous products
down a storm drain because storm
drains are usually connected to local
waterbodies and the water is not
treated.

ollution on streets, parking lots and lawns is washed by rain into
storm drains, then directly to our drinking water supplies and the
ocean and lakes our children play in. Fertilizer, oil, pesticides, detergents, pet waste, grass clippings:You name it and it ends up in our water.
Stormwater pollution is one of New Jersey’s greatest threats to clean
and plentiful water and that’s why we’re all doing something about it.
By sharing the responsibility and making small, easy changes in our daily
lives, we can keep common pollutants out of stormwater. It all adds up to
cleaner water and it saves the high cost of cleaning up once it’s dirty.
As part of New Jersey’s initiative to keep our water clean and plentiful
and to meet federal requirements, many municipalities and other public
agencies including colleges and military bases must adopt ordinances or
other rules prohibiting various activities that contribute to stormwater pollution. Breaking these rules can result in fines or other penalties.
■
Keep Pollution Out
of Storm Drains
■ Municipalities and many other public
agencies are required to mark certain
storm drain inlets with messages reminding people that storm drains are
connected to local waterbodies.
■ Do not let sewage or other wastes flow
into a stormwater system.
Clean Up After Your Pet
■ Many municipalities and public agen-
Participate in community cleanups.
Dispose of Yard
Waste Properly
■ Keep
leaves and grass out of storm
drains.
■ If your municipality or agency has
yard waste collection rules, follow
them.
■ Use leaves and grass clippings as a resource for compost.
■ Use a mulching mower that recycles
grass clippings into the lawn.
cies must enact and enforce local petwaste rules.
■ An example is requiring pet owners or
keepers to pick up and properly dispose of pet waste dropped on public
or other people’s property.
■ Make sure you know your town’s or
agency’s requirements and comply with
them. It’s the law.And remember to:
■ Use newspaper, bags or pooperscoopers to pick up wastes.
■ Dispose of the wrapped pet waste in
the trash or unwrapped in a toilet.
■ Never discard pet waste in a storm
drain.

Pennsauken Events Kick-Off Holidays, Season Of Giving
“We’re looking forward to another
great year for Pennsauken’s Holiday Parade,” says Tim Ellis, B.I.G. Council
chairperson.“The parade is a wonderful
way for everyone in our community to
get together; it’s also a great showcase for
the diverse businesses that reside along
Westfield Ave.”
Opportunities remain to help make
the 33rd Holiday Parade one to remember. Financial and in kind donations from
area businesses are still being accepted.
In addition, community groups are encouraged to participate in the parade.
In addition, community groups and

Angel Tree Program
Once again, Pennsauken residents
and businesses are preparing to pitch in
to help children in the community during the holiday season through the
Angel Tree program.
Last year, over 30 Pennsauken families were helped through the Angel Tree
program; the initiative for 2013 plans to
support the same number of families.
The Angel Tree was started over 20
years ago by then administrator Ken
Carruth and Bernie Kofoet, who is
now Pennsauken Public Works Superintendent. The two placed a Christmas
Tree at the Penn Queen Diner, allowing
both patrons and members of the community an opportunity to help their
neighbors in need during the holidays.
The success of that endeavor turned into
today’s Angel Tree Program.
Individuals can purchase a new, unwrapped toy and leave it at the Municipal Building, Route 130 and
Merchantville Avenue, under the tree
from Dec. 2 through 4 p.m. on Monday,
Dec. 16. Monetary donations are also
greatly appreciated. No contribution is
too small and will go a long way to bringing joy and hope to Pennsauken families
during this festive season.
For more information or to volunteer
for the Angel Tree program, contact
Pennsauken’s Park and Recreation Department at (856) 665-1000, Ext. 151.

health benefits, pre-existing conditions,
and more. You can purchase coverage
that offers a comprehensive set of benefits, including doctor visits, hospital stays,
preventive care, and prescriptions. And
plans in the Marketplace must treat you
fairly; they can’t deny you coverage because of a pre-existing condition. With a
single application, you also will find out
if you qualify for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or
savings you can use right away to lower
your health insurance premiums.
The first Marketplace open enrollment
period ends March 31, 2014. Enroll by
December 15, 2013, for coverage effective
January 1, 2014. Starting in 2014, open en-
rollment is from October 15 – December

source of information about the Marketplace.You can read information that pertains to you, print checklists, and watch
videos to help you apply and enroll.

Health Insurance Marketplace offers or
how to apply, the Pennsauken Library is

Pennsauken Nurse Walks To Fight Lung Cancer, Honor Dad
“When you’re the nurse in the family,
everyone comes to you.” It’s something
that Caryn Vadseth, a thoracic nurse navigator at Fox Chase Cancer Center, had
gotten used to over the years. But in February 2012, nothing could have prepared
her for the news that her father, Jerry
“Herk” Hertkorn, was diagnosed with
Stage IIIB lung cancer.
“It was a difficult time to be the nurse
and the daughter,” says Vadseth.“My job
is to educate lung cancer patients and to
advocate for them. I’m in the job around
a year, and then I have to navigate for my
own father. It puts a whole different perspective on things.”
Following a hard-fought, four month
battle, Jerry passed on June 23, 2012, less
than one month after his 71st birthday.
To honor both the memory of her father,
as well as the many patients she’s advocated for over the years, Caryn formed
Team “Herk’s Heroes” to participate in
Philadelphia’s annual Free to Breathe
event, a fundraising effort to help fuel
lung cancer research and awareness.
“There’s a stigma still associated with
lung cancer. ‘Did he smoke?’ is the first
question everyone asks. [Dad] was a former smoker and had quit for years. It’s a
true addiction. It takes an average person
six or seven times to quit.
“But the truth is if you have lungs, you
can get lung cancer. In my job, I’m seeing
more and more non smokers and
younger populations getting lung cancer.
That’s why more there needs to be more
research. No daughter should have to go
through what I did.”
“Herk’s Heroes,” founded by Pennsauken resident Caryn Vadseth, is participating in this year’s Philadelphia Free To Breathe walk on Nov. 3. The team
raises funds for lung cancer research and awareness in memory of Vadseth’s
father, who passed away from the disease in 2012.

This year, “Herk’s Heroes” hopes to

Park on Nov. 3. Proceeds benefit the
National Lung Cancer Partnership, the
only lung cancer advocacy organization
founded by physicians and researchers
working together with survivors and advocates to increase lung cancer aware-
ness and research funding dedicated to
doubling lung cancer survival by 2022.
Inspired by her experiences of the past
two years,Vadseth has gotten even more
involved in the cause to fight lung cancer.
And in addition to the support of family
and friends, her employer, Fox Chase
Cancer Center, has become a bronze
sponsor of the event.
“It’s amazing. When you’re there, it’s
a sea of people. And it’s a great place to
walk.”
A walk that Caryn, along with many
others like her, hopes will one day no
longer be necessary.

There is no limit to the number of bags
or containers which may be placed out for
collection.The only restriction is that they
should not weigh more than 50 pounds.
Public Works, as part of keeping the
storm water management system functioning, will be clearing streets of leaves.
Your cooperation in bagging leaves will
assist us in minimizing the amount of
leaves that end up in the street.
Recycling Tips For The
Holiday Season
Remember that after the holidays,
Christmas trees are recyclable and will
also be collected every Wednesday. The
department does not pick up Christmas
trees.There is no need to cut and bundle
your Christmas tree, they can be placed
out as is. However, please make sure that
all lights and decorations are removed
from the tree before placing it out for
pick up.
Many will receive gifts in large boxes
with much protective packaging. Any
form of Styrofoam is not recyclable. It
should not be stuffed back into the box
and put out for recycling. Styrofoam
should be placed out with your house-
November 2013
hold trash.The same applies to any other
type of plastic or foam packaging.
Gift wrappings, other than foil wraps,
are recyclable and can be placed in the
yellow recycling can. Larger boxes
should be flattened and tied.
Old electronics can also be recycled.
Neither the Township, nor the solid
waste collection contractor will pick up
old televisions, computers, computer
monitors and certain other electronic
items which have been banded from incinerators and landfills.
Residents can dispose of these items
at three locations right here in Pennsauken.The first is the Pennsauken Landfill
at 9600 River Rd; the second is Magnum
Recycling at 5070 B Central Hwy.;and the
third is New Land Recycling at 9105 Burrough-Dover Ln.All three facilities will accept your old electronics at no cost.
Any old metal item which you need
to dispose of can be placed out every
Wednesday. You do need to contact
Public Works so that you can be placed
on a list for collection. The notification
needs to be made by 2 p.m. on the Tuesday before the collection day.This can be
done by calling (856) 663-0178 and leaving a message with both a brief descrip-
tion of the item and your address. You
may also contact us by e-mail at publicworks@twp.pennsauken.nj.us.
Another way to recycle is to donate
gently used items to one of the many organizations that offer used goods for resale, such as Goodwill or Habitat for
Humanity. Both have locations in
Pennsauken and would welcome your
donation. It’s a great way to reduce the
amount of waste going to landfills and
help someone else at the same time.
On behalf of myself and my fellow
employees at Public Works, I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

Firefighters, First Responders Participate In Transit Center Training Exercise
By Pennsauken Fire Chief
Joseph V. Palumbo, Sr.
The members of the Pennsauken Fire
Department recently participated in a
simulated domestic terrorism exercise on
Sept. 28 at the new Pennsauken Transit
Center on Derousse Ave. The exercise
was a culmination of several months of
training and preparation that started in
March of this year and included meetings, classroom training, table top scenario exercises, and extensive training.
The highlight of the entire process was
a formal training program delivered in
August at Texas A&M University and
sponsored by New Jersey Transit.
Deputy Chief Bill Hertline, Battalion
Chief Bill Stow, Battalion Chief Mike
DiSanti, Captain Mike O’Brien, and Lt.
Dan Kerr were joined by OEM Coordinator Dennis Cowgill and staff from
Pennsauken Police on the trip to complete the Joint Crisis Incident Management program. Additional attendees to
the program included New Jersey Transit
Police and staff from both the passenger
rail and light rail operations of New Jersey Transit. The five day program enabled both civilian and uniformed
responders to better prepare for and mitigate a major level incident that includes
multiple agencies and jurisdictions.
The real time based exercise on Sept.
28 started before dawn to prepare the facility and mock participants; the exercise
commenced at 8:30 a.m. and concluded
at 11:30 a.m. Fire, EMS and police responders were staged at Fire Station 5 on
Union Ave. and in addition to Pennsauken resources, included mutual aid
partners from Collingswood, Cherry Hill,
Cinnaminson, Camden, University Hospital EMS, New Jersey Transit Police, and
CSX Police.All personnel were provided
with breakfast and lunch, sponsored by
the Pennsauken Firefighters Association.
Personnel responded in a real time
format to the Pennsauken Transit Center for a reported collision and fire on a
train that included multiple casualties.
The incident command process was initiated; strategy and tactics were established and implemented to secure the
scene, extinguish fires, rescue trapped
civilians, and provide medical treatment
and transportation to the simulated
multiple casualties. Responders worked
side by side to complete the tasks issued
to them.
This unique and rare opportunity directly benefits our local responders with
training and theory that surpasses incidents limited to New Jersey Transit facilities and rail line right of way. Our local
elected officials were on site to witness
the work and abilities of our staff.The of-
ficers and members of the Pennsauken
Fire Department extend our apprecia-
tion to New Jersey Transit and Transit
Police Chief Christopher Trucillo for pro-
viding the funding and opportunity for
this amazing hands-on training.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS Learning To Win And Lose A Thing Of Beauty
By Billy Wright, Pennsauken
High School Athletic Director
Someone wins. Someone loses.
Victory is sweet. Losing leaves
a bad taste. Celebrations begin. Post
game evaluations are made.
The current fall season for PHS athletes
and coaches has more losses than wins,not
unusual for the Big Red. The current fall

seven sports and three levels: varsity, JV

and freshmen. You’d think someone
might give up with so many losses, but not
in this town. For our kids, it is all about fun.
For the coaches, it is a more difficult pill to
swallow, as most are perfectionists, ever
pursuing the elusive big win.
Spend an afternoon watching one of
the PHS athletic teams practicing or
competing, and you will be proud of the
effort exhibited. The young Indian student-athletes compete hard, get physical,

do not back down, drive themselves unmercifully, determined to achieve. The
PHS coaching staff spends countless
hours, both on the field and after hours
in educational based athletic pursuits.
Coaches guide our young people in
learning and practicing good old American values.The value of hard work, selfdiscipline, dedication, team work, self
esteem, and being responsible are all
character life skills that coaches stress
daily. Coaches also carry with them the
daily burden of the numerous social
woes that many of our athletes bring to
the table. PHS coaches live in a constant,
“could of, should of, would of” world.
When we consider all that our
coaches teach and model and the powerful impact they have on their athletes,
39 wins and 66 losses might seem dismal
to many, but considering the lessons
learned... “It Is A Thing of Beauty.”
Soccer Match As Close As It Gets
As usual, a battle between two equally
skilled squads would take overtime to settle the boys soccer contest between the
visiting Penns Grove Red Devils and the
home-standing Indians.At the conclusion
of regulation time the score was 1-1, with
John Gonzalez getting the equalizer.The
first overtime was a repeat of the first 80
minutes of regulation, as both squads had
chances but did not convert. In the second
overtime, PHS was called for a hand ball
in the box, thus awarding Penns Grove a
penalty kick. PHS goal-keeper Caleb
C h r i s t i a n
Pancoast would go one-on-one with the
Red Devils striker.Albeit a gallant effort
by Caleb, the attempt was good.Then the
whistle sounded and the official waved off
the goal for an obstruction call and Caleb
received another chance. Caleb guessed
right this time, flagging down the ball for
a brilliant save. A moment later, the ball
moved quickly down the pitch to the PHS
end of the field, where Alex Rodriguez
scored the decisive sudden death goal to
present the Indians with the improbable
win. Jason Goldstein had blitzed 80 yards
down field to assist in the goal.
Code Red Continues To Struggle
The latest version of the much anticipated contest between the Code Red
football team and the Washington
Township Minutemen last Saturday was
one that was both entertaining and disappointing for the Indian faithful. In a

Volleyball On A Tear
After a slow start and 0-5 record, the
PHS girls Volleyball team has won five
of its last six contests, including a big 2-1
win over Seneca.The Golden Eagles defeated the Indians 2-0 in a early season
game, to show how positively the team is
responding to new Coach Jack Killion’s
system. In two close games, the Big Red
hung tough and did not fold under pressure. Lauren Perry had seven kills and
nine service points, Cerieia Cupit had five
kills, four aces and eight service points;
Olivia Summerville had 17 assists; Nataejah Clayton four kills and service points;
and Tanisha Crawford three kills and
seven digs.
Cheerleaders In Pink
The PHS cheerleaders were cheering
for a cure at the home football game Sept.
28 versus Washington Township. Ever
mindful of breast cancer and its affect on
the lives of so many women, coaches
Nicole DeSesso and Tremaine Medley
had the team wear pink and set up at the
front gate to pass out information about
the disease and collect funds. The cheerleaders were able to collect $200 to be donated to breast cancer research.
Friday Under The Lights Returns
The Friday night experience reaches
Pennsauken for the second time, as the
Athletic Department will rent lights to
conduct what is expected to be a well attended extravaganza.The game is slotted
for Nov. 8, 7 p.m. at Vince McAneney
Field, as the Renegades of Shawnee will
attempt to ruin the evening for a large
home crowd.The game is the last official
contest for determining power points
and to determine which eight schools
qualify for the NJSIAA state football
playoffs. Shawnee is a perennial South
Jersey football power, so a lot of power
points will be generated for the winner.
Several activities are planned for this
memorable night, which is being declared PYAA night. PYAA fall sport
athletes will be granted free admission to
the game with a ticket from their PYAA
coach and the wearing of their game jersey. PYAA athletes will be honored at a
halftime procession around the track. So
mark your calendar and be a part of the
Friday night under the lights experience.

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
displayed, photos, floral arrangements and a video tribute.
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
contact us for copy of our cremation brochures.
