HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY DELRAN FIRE CO. NO. 1
100 YEARS OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE
DELRAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY
It is with pride and honor that I am able to write this
article about something that is dear to my heart. Many
years ago, I became interested with the volunteer fire service as have many young men in small towns. Before the
early 1900s, our small town of Delran did not have a fire
company to protect our citizens from fire and other disasters.
On March 28, 1916, “a group of concerned citizens met
at Lester Fortnum’s garage to consider firefighting”. This
was the first organized meeting of citizens to formally discuss organizing a fire company in Delran.
Following a second meeting
on April 5th
meeting, the firemen of Bridgeboro heavily discussed where
to locate a firehouse and how they would pay for it.
There was a strong interest in locating in the old
W.C.T.U. Hall on Main Street. In late 1916, vacant ground
was offered for the firehouse by William J. Smith for a cost
of $200. William Smith was one of the founders of the fire
company so his offer was fair and accepted. With the vacant
lot purchased, the members focused their efforts on erecting
a suitable building. A concrete
block structure was envisioned. To save money, members agreed to make the
blocks themselves from
By Mal Anderson, Life Member
Unit. It was built through the efforts of Lester Fortnum’s
Garage and George Heaton’s Blacksmith Shop and housed
at Fortnum’s until the original firehouse was completed.
When the original building was started, a gift of an old
windmill tower was given by William Bramall, a local carpenter. It was agreed that it could be had if the firemen disassembled, moved and resurrected it at the firehouse with
the intentions of hanging a “Fire Alarm” on it. The first fire
alarm was an iron ring from a train wheel that hung in that
tower and was sounded by striking it with the hammer that
laid beside it on the ground.
Serious efforts were taken during the second half of
1917 to complete the original building by the end of the
year. With those goals accomplished, Delran Fire Co.No.1
Delran Fire Co. No. 1 Then and Now
and a third
on April 14th, these “citizens” who met were asked to “canvas the
Township” to collect monies and pledges to form a fire company. Delran Fire Co, No.1 was officially organized at the
fourth meeting of citizens on April 18, 1916, where the first
officers of the company were elected.
Although there was mention of the “Young Men of
Bridgeboro” organizing a fire company in the Philadelphia
Inquirer on September 28, 1913, we know from history that
their efforts did not come to fruition. After the April 18
molds borrowed from
Schettler Bros., a
masonry
supply
business that was
across the Rancocas
Creek from Bridgeboro. Sand was donated from
the excavation that we “older” residents remember as Olympia Lakes. Projected costs for the completed firehouse were about $270 however, the finished
tally was around $2000.
Many suggestions were considered as to how to raise
the monies needed to support the construction and operation of a firehouse. Pledges of money covered the construction costs however you can’t fight fires if you don’t have a
fire truck and equipment. Fundraisers became the backbone of support for the efforts to establish a well-equipped
force. Profits from a Chicken Supper (Tickets: 35 cents) plus
donations were used to purchase their first fire truck, a
1909 Simplex with an American La France Chemical Tank

held its first meeting in the new firehouse on January 13,
1918.
Throughout the years it became necessary to enlarge
the firehouse. Started in 1925, a two story addition was
added onto the rear of the original building. A kitchen was
placed on the second floor adjacent to the meeting room.
The firehouse remained that way until 1956 when it was
realized that the firehouse was becoming more congested.
It was then that additional property was purchased from
William Smith. A single story addition designed by member
Horace Anderson Sr. was added with most of the work
again being done by fellow members and him under his supervision.
After purchasing yet another parcel of land from
William Smith in 1959 to serve as a parking lot, it was decided in October of 1963 to purchase the corner property at
Main Street and Cleveland Avenue from the Improved
Order of Red Men, a fraternal group. This parcel was later

The Deadline for the April 2016 Issue is
From the Publisher
I started “The Riverside Positive Press,” in 1995 after returning from 18 years
in Boston and seeing how dramatically things had changed since I’d moved away.
As an adult, I could see things about Riverside, the community, and people that I
certainly didn’t see as a high school student. But everywhere I heard negative
comments about Riverside – from the town’s own residents. I appreciated the
profound difference between living in a small town or living in the city (as exciting
and fun as it had been). So I decided to spread the word. I wanted to get people
thinking about all the positive things that still existed in Riverside – and all the
small riverfront towns, because sometimes we fail to see what we’ve known our
whole lives. And the paper was born.
The paper has developed into so much more. Because the same small town
values and sense of community are prevalent in our neighboring towns, it made
sense to include Delanco and Delran and, then Palmyra, Cinnaminson and Riverton.
Now The Positive Press is more than even I envisioned. People tell me all the time,
“The Positive Press? I love that paper. As soon as I get it I read it from cover to cover.”
I can’t tell you how much it means to hear that.
The paper has become the place for people to learn about all the good things the
schools and the children are doing these days. About the kind things people do for
each other all the time. It’s where you can learn about things to do, and places to
join, and where to volunteer. It’s where churches and other non-profit organizations
can share their messages and promote their events. It’s where businesses come for
advertising. They know their ad is seen because people actually read The Positive
Press. That’s why our advertisers have stayed with us for years – some since 1995!
Not to mention the goodwill their support of the paper generates.
But The Positive Press is even more than all that. It’s where you can go back in
time thanks to the Historical Societies to relive “the good old days” and reminisce
about people and places and events often forgotten. It’s a community. It’s a feeling.
It’s a way for people to remember there is so much more good in this world than
bad.
In the beginning, I thought the paper would be an all volunteer effort. That was
unrealistic. Since my husband passed in 2010 the paper is my primary means of
support. And it’s been the greatest job I’ve ever had. It brings me joy getting to
know my readers, becoming friends with the contributors who bring so much to the
paper, and knowing the paper brings a little joy into people’s lives.
Find your own joy wherever you can.

The Elementary PTA held two
fundraisers
for
the
Millbridge
Elementary and Intermediate Schools
this past winter. The Scholastic Book
Fair was a huge success in many parts
due to the fabulous teachers who spread
their love of reading and the supportive
parents who foster this new appreciation
for books.
Both schools had over
$10,000.00 in total sales! That
meant that the schools got
$4,500.00 in cash and Scholastic
dollars to help build-up their
libraries. Millbridge also held a
coin drive where Scholastic
matched the total raised and
donated the funds to a school in
need. The goal was $500.00 and
once again, our community rose to
the occasion with a total amount of
$2,100.00 in coins raised! Each
teacher was able to get 10-15 new
books for the classroom and the
students earned a pajama day for
their generosity. To quote Dr.
Seuss, “You can find magic wherever you
look. Sit back & relax, all you needs is a
book.” The generosity of our students and
the volunteerism of their parents is truly
awesome!
The PTA hosted another event to
raise money for the two schools. The
Chick-fil-A Spirit Night raised a
whopping $676.20 from the sales of the

WALKING WITH FALKOR
I
just
met
a
remarkable young man
who said that the best
way to get people
involved in your
cause is to share
your own story. He
asked, “Why did you
become
the
environmentalist
you are.” So that’s
what I’m going to do!
Here is the story of how
I became “The Turtle
Lady.”
In June of 2000, I sat by the
ancient sycamore tree, listening to
the sounds of nature all around me,
when I saw the biggest, most gigantic
turtle I had ever seen in my life! The
tide was going out and the water not
too deep, so I got a good look at the
beast. Even though I knew nothing
much about turtles at the time, I
could tell that it was a snapping
turtle, the stegosaurus tail was a
dead giveaway. The next evening, I
saw it again – every night for more
than a week. I tried to tell people that
I had seen this monster, and no one
believed me! They were certain that I
was exaggerating, if not just making
up the creature. They told me I was
just nutty from sitting out in the
marsh at night. That might very well
be true, but I know what I saw! Since
no one wanted to sit in the swamp
By Cindy Pierson,
The Turtle Lady
with me, it would have to
be photographic proof.
I prepared for my
mission by gathering
the necessities: a
raw half a chicken,
my camera, a large
dog
cage,
a
flashlight (low tide
was
around
midnight) and most
importantly, a pointy
stick. I got the cage out
into the middle of the
creek, tossed in the chicken
and waited. Sure enough, the turtle
appeared. It even went into the cage.
I got a bit scared when it devoured
the chicken in 2 bites. I took tons of
pictures, and was waiting for the
snapper to leave the cage and me
behind, when I realized that the tide
had turned and the water was getting
deeper. If this turtle didn’t leave the
cage, he and I would both surely
drown! That’s a good spot for a cliff
hanger, don’t you think? Be sure to
watch for the rest of the story in the
May edition of The Positive Press!

DELRAN MUNICIPAL AND DELRAN SCHOOLS
BOTH GREEN TEAMS WORKING TOGETHER
Delran Township Public
Schools
was
recently
awarded
a
$10,000
Sustainable
Jersey
for
Schools
grant.
Erica
DeMichele, K-12 Supervisor
of Science, Technology,
Engineering and Food and
Consumer Science, also
coordinates the district’s
sustainability efforts. This
grant funding will provide students more
access to the Millbridge Elementary
School playground throughout the year,
and provide a native habitat learning
opportunity, all because of a green
landscape design. Without the grant, the
district would not have been able to
install this 5,000 gallon capacity rain
garden to harness storm water runoff.
The runoff has been causing puddling on
the black top surface at Millbridge, which
takes precious recess and activity time
away from our students after major rain
events. With the help of the Delran
Municipal Green Team, Millbridge PTA
and the Burlington County Master
Gardeners, during the second week in
April all 800 students will help plant the
rain garden with 1,800 native
plant species.
Additionally, through a
Perkins Center Artist in
Residence program, master
artists have worked with the
art teacher, Mrs. Laurie
Fauver and the 2nd grade
students,
to
create
individualized mosaic tiles
which will adorn two “buddy
benches.” These benches will border the
100 foot long rain garden, and will serve
as an outdoor meeting space for students.
The rain garden and buddy benches will
be unveiled at the Earth Day celebration
assembly on April 22nd. The Millbridge
students will be treated to a live animal
assembly from Eyes of the Wild called
Wallaby Tails, to teach the students
about stewardship of all Earth’s
creatures. In addition, a multitude of
guest presenters will visit the 37
classrooms at Millbridge to educate
students
about
the
tenets
of
sustainability:
People, Planet and
Prosperity. This grant is an opportunity
for Delran’s children to become
thoughtful citizens on this planet.

DELRAN RESIDENT PATRICK FARMER
PASSES ARCHITECT REGISTRATION EXAM
Recently the National
Council of Architectural
Licensing
Boards
informed
RYEBREAD
project manager Patrick
Farmer
that
he
successfully completed the
Architecture Registration
Exam (ARE).
On 12 March, Patrick
took the last of seven
discreet
ARE
tests:
Construction Documents
& Services; Programming,
Planning & Practice; Site
Planning
&
Design;
Building Construction & Construction
Systems; Structural Systems; Building
Systems; and Schematic Design. The
ARE attempts to determine the
candidate's qualifications not only to
perform measurable tasks, but also to
exercise the skills and judgment of a
construction industry generalist working
with numerous specialists. In short, the
objective is to reflect the practice of
architecture as an integrated whole.
Patrick lives in Delran with his wife
Vanessa and daughter Alice. He
graduated from Burlington City High
School in 1999, and went on
to earn a Bachelor of
Architecture from New
Jersey
Institute
of
Technology in 2006. He has
been
a
member
of
RYEBREAD
Architects
since 1999, when he worked
as a summer intern. His
primary role is project
management, focusing on
design and documentation.
He has special expertise in
Computer Aided Design,
Building
Information
Management, and their
application to educational facilities.
Based in Mount Holly, NJ, Regan
Young England Butera: Referendums,

There are only around 105,000
licensed architects in the US, as
compared to 450,000 engineers, 970,000

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner. Tallulah Bankhead
DELRAN GREEN TEAM REPORT
Throughout Delran trees are being
removed. Many of the removals have
been done by “passing through” tree
removal companies. These companies
often approach a homeowner, unsolicited,
and ask if they could take a tree down
“cheap” since they're in the area. They
recommend taking down a tree that's too
close to their house or “may” be dying or
injured.
The 100+ year-old Oak pictured is
being taken down because, according to a
neighbor, the owners were tired of raking
leaves. The oak according to the neighbor,
was the most beautiful tree in the
neighborhood and gave him great joy just
to see it every day! It is perfectly healthy
and could have been trimmed perhaps,
but certainly did not deserve to be
felled—it wasn’t even close to a building!
Another resident in another part of town
reportedly spent thousands to have two
tall sweet gum trees cut down because he
didn’t like raking up the spiny sweet gum
“balls.”
In the children’s book by Roberta
Borzinski, entitled “Why Would Anyone
Cut A Tree Down?” children
lamented the great loss to
the land, the air, water and
wildlife. Trees give shade,
oxygen, soften loud noises,
they astutely observe. And
they can make you feel
good!
Although tree removal
is a last resort, there are
circumstances when it is
necessary. Certainly there
are trees that need to be
removed completely due to
disease or injury.
An
arborist can help to
determine if, where, and when a tree
should be removed or trimmed. We
recommend contacting a certified
arborist. An arborist can determine the
type of pruning necessary to maintain or
improve the health, appearance and
safety of trees. One local arborist I spoke
to claims he would ask an owner to hire
someone else if he determined a tree was
not dangerous and was too healthy to cut
down. Such men are real “tree” men.
They want you to appreciate the value of
trees and how extensive tree removal in
a community can affect a township —
trees add value to homes when the right
tree is planted or kept in the right place!
That’s another service they can provide.
Be an informed consumer — ask for
proper credentials, check for permits and
licenses and don’t always accept the
lowest bid. But above all — learn how
important trees, shrubs, and bushes are
and can affect your life!

The Palmyra High School Tomorrow’s Teachers participated in an exceptional collaborative learning experience with the Preschool Class from Charles Street School. The
Preschool students enjoyed spending the morning in the high school participating in
a music class and completing an art project with PHS future teachers. It is a wonderful opportunity for the students in Palmyra to use resources that are currently in our
district to support and enhance our academic instruction. This was an extraordinary
learning opportunity for all students involved and we are looking forward to continuing practical field experiences with our new Preschool friends.

Celebrating 150 Years
Preserving Riverside’s History for Future Generations
By Alice M. Smith, President • 856-764-1420 • Riverside Historical Society
Each month we publish the list of donations given by local, out-of-town former
Riverside residents, other historical societies and persons. Some are familiar because
of our town’s history, however; others spark interest and deserve further investigation
into their history. One such donation was prize-winning poultry ribbons! These ribbons were awarded to the owners of outstanding specimens of poultry who attended
the Riverside Poultry Association competition in January 1922. Riverside, like many
other towns, had backyard poultrymen. Some towns had large-estate poultry farms.
One such poultry farm called Lilac Poultry Farm covered 17 ½ acres with 2500 nesting egg producers and listed the residence in Riverside, NJ. Riverside, NJ was the
mailing address for the farm located at 10 Hartford Road. Lilac Poultry Farm was
located in Delran and its
owners were Mack
Rosenstine and his wife
Ethel. Not much at this
writing is known about
the Rosenstine family
other than they advertised their chicken stock
of Various Breeds in
farming magazines. Almost a decade later in 1921 they listed their farm for sale.
Here is a photograph of the property located on Hartford Road. Route 25 appears
at the top of the picture and Hartford Road is turning right off of what we now call
Route 130. A star marks the property.
On December 6, 1950, the farm, or a portion of the farm, was sold to Elwood C.
Griscom by Joseph Bespremi. Fay Griscom remembers that there were remains of
chicken coops behind the house. “It was just a pile of wood on concrete slabs and dangerous because of the bare nails sticking out of the boards. There was also a smallish
outbuilding that held feed and two barns behind the house as well.”
Although, we could not find a newspaper article about Riverside’s ribbon event,

This month’s quote comes from Maya
Angelou an American poet, memoirist,
actress and important figure in the Civil
Rights Movement. “Any book that helps a
child form a habit of reading, to make
reading one of his or her deep continuing
needs, is good for him or her. Spend time
at the library with your family. Delanco
Public Library is your destination for
knowledge, entertainment and community.
Have you donated to the library for
2016? The money received from our annual
fund drive increases the quality and
quantity of books and other library
materials. If you did not get our invitation
to make a donation, please call the library
for one. Think about gifting Delanco Public
Library in your will. Your gift is tax
deductible.
Come join us on April the 1st for First
Friday. The library will be open until 8pm.
No Fooling!
So what are our library supporters
reading? The following are all books
recently bought by the library.
A Girls Guide to Moving On by Deborah
Macomber. A mother and daughter leave
their troubled marriages and face the
challenge of starting over.
They discover that their inner strength and
capacity for love are greater than they ever
imagined.
Clawback by Judith Jance.
Ali
Reynolds faces her most controversial
mystery yet, solving the murder of a man
whose Ponzi scheme bankrupted hundreds
of people, and left them seeking justice or
revenge.
The Gangster by Clive Cussler. It is
1906, and in New York City, the Italian
crime group known as the Black Hand is on
a spree: kidnapping, extortion, arson.
Detective Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn
Agency is hired to form a special “Black
Hand Squad,” but the gangsters appear to
be everywhere—so much so that Bell begins
to wonder if there are imitators, criminals
using the name for the terror effect. And
then the murders begin.
Off the Grid. Nate Romanowski is off
the grid, recuperating from wounds and
trying to deal with past crimes, when he is
suddenly surrounded by a small team of
elite professional special operators. They’re
not there to threaten him, but to make a
deal.

we found references on googlebooks.com about two of Riverside’s residents involved in the Poultry Industry – in 1914
Louis C. Heller judged a Poultry Show in York, PA and in
1922 O. [Oswald] Heinrichs was the secretary of the Riverside Poultry Association. Oswald resided at 232 Pavilion
Avenue. While searching through reels of microfilm, we uncovered an article about the State of New Jersey holding a
Poultry Show in Newark about 11 months after Riverside’s
event with exhibitors from twenty states and as far away as
California and Texas. The championship egg laying contest
is attracting great interest with generous cash prizes. I wonder if they gave cash prizes for the ‘Chicken Dance’. I might
be able to win that competition!

P.O. Box 1201, Delran, NJ 08075 • www.delranhistoricalsociety.org
100 YEARS Continued from THE FRONT
cleared, landscaped and dedicated as a Veteran’s Memorial Park.
During the past 100 years, Delran Fire
Co.No.1 has held many planned activities to
secure necessary monies for the purchase of
fire trucks, to maintain them and the firehouse. Events held were carnivals, turkey,
chicken, roast beef and spaghetti dinners,
weekly bingo, raffles and donation drives
and cars parked for donations at area shows.
In 1987, it was felt that the struggle to
maintain the old and undersized first firehouse building was becoming unmanageable. Fire trucks were becoming much larger
and they just wouldn’t fit in the old firehouse. Systems also needed upgrading so a
committee was formed and a decision was
made to proceed with plans to construct a
completely new firehouse at the same site.
Through the efforts of the Fire Company and
the Delran Fire District #1, approval was
sought from our citizens regarding funding.
Our great Delran residents agreed with the
committee and approved funding for a new
firehouse.
It has been 25 years since the new facility was built. It still remains one of the best
fire stations in Burlington County. The firefighters at Delran Fire Co.No.1 are very well
trained and respected throughout the sur-
rounding area and the county. Their devotion to voluntarily train and risk their lives
for Delran has been overlooked by the continually escalating costs of fire trucks, equipment, insurances, maintenance, hydrant
service, etc.
I had the honor and privilege of serving
this fine group as their Chief and later, as
President of the Fire Company as many of
my relatives have. So many previous and
current members have continually volunteered their time for training, dedicated
themselves to duty, and risked their lives
doing this free service for our citizens. The
volunteer hours given since the founding of
this fire company are incalculable.
This service to our community is done
without a paycheck. Look in the dictionary
or on the internet to see what being a “Volunteer Firefighter” entails. I hope that you
all will agree that these dedicated citizens
cannot be praised enough. Can you all please
try?
Call the Fire House, make arrangements to visit and take notice of what we
freely give to the people of Delran and along
the way remember that Delran Fire Co.No.1
is turning 100 years old on April 18th and is
faithfully committed to serving another 100
years.

ENDING HUNGER
ONE STEP AT A TIME
The 2016 CROP Walk needs your
support. On Saturday, May 14, the annual
CROP walk to end hunger is being held at
Mill Creek Park, Willingboro.
It is
sponsored locally by St. Pauls’ Methodist
Church, Willingboro. CROP stands for
Communities Responding to Overcome
Poverty.
“There is nothing quite like the experience
of getting a group together with the common
goal of serving our community. There's also a
sense of anticipation and excitement that
comes with teaming up on a common project.
Serving can be incredibly rewarding and most
importantly the satisfaction that comes from
obeying Christ's command to love our
neighbors as ourselves.” Evelyn Carson,
CROP Facilitator
This
interdenominational
event
includes representatives from various local
churches such as: Methodist Churches,
Pentecostal Church, Evangelical Lutheran
Church of America, local American Baptist
Churches, and others. Other participants
will include representatives from local
social group as well as individuals
interested in helping to end hunger. Each
year this walk proves that the people of
Burlington County are truly caring citizens
with a spirit of giving to help others in
need. 25% of the monies raised will stay
here in our communities to support local
food pantries and meal sites.
Special kudos to the Willingboro
Department of Recreation and Parks who
are generously offering their assistance
again this year.
Your help is needed in various aspects
of this special event. Why not volunteer?
Gather together your friends and family to
spend some time in a beautiful park and
help a good cause. You do not need to do
the full walk or even walk a portion of the
track. Our primary goal is to have the
community share some fellowship on a
spring day. It’s that easy. Looking forward
to seeing everyone at 2016 CROP Walk.
The contact for this event is Evelyn Carson
(609) 877-6497 or St. Paul’s Methodist
Church (609) 877-7734.

Fall In Love With Seasonal Sensations • The Right Floral Arrangement For Any Occasion
If you thought it was warm in Jersey this
month, you should have been in Alaska! Of
course in the northernmost parts it was cold —
in some places below zero. But in Anchorage for
the start of the Annual Iditarod (the first was in
1973) it was like being here—30°-40°! It was
international news that for the ceremonial start
in downtown Anchorage snow had to be brought
in by freight cars to provide a surface for the dog
sleds to ride on for 3 miles through town—8
miles shorter than the normal route when more
snow is available.
The ceremonial start gives the public—locals
and visitors worldwide—a chance to see the
mushers and their dogs—the real athletes!—
before they go 70 miles north to Willow for the
REstart, the start that begins their time on the
1000 mile trip to the finish at Nome.
This year there were 85 mushers, each
starting with 16 dogs. They must finish the race
with at least 5 dogs. During the race, many dogs
are “dropped”—sent back home— due to injury,
slow pace, etc. There are also a thousand or so
volunteers, an invaluable asset, at the start and
restart as security, at all 20 CHECKPOINTS, 30
veterinarians, pilots, cooks, communications,
etc.
I have volunteered since 1999 except ’13,’14
& ’15 — usually for start and restart, dog
handling of dropped dogs, phone room, etc.
Three years I was flown out to McGrath
checkpoint for a week to load supply bags on
Cessnas in 30° below weather. It really felt
warm once it got up to 0° in the pm! This year,
I only stayed a week working just the start and
restart spending most of my off time with my son
Todd who has been in AK for 21 years. I used
my time completing an Iditarod-related
children’s book I’ve been working on for awhile.
At the pre-race banquet in Anchorage, I met
the author of a book about the first Race in 1973
in which he took 3rd place. Since then, he, Dan
Seavey, and his son and grandson have all raced
in many events and placed from a win to high
placement in every race. This year, his 29 year
old grandson won his 3rd race in a row breaking
his last year record-breaker by several hours —
8 days, 11 hrs, 20 minutes! His father Mitch
came in right behind him for 2nd place! Of
course granddad Dan was right there to
congratulate them.
It may take up to 2 more weeks for the rest
of the mushers to finish—the last one in gets the
red lantern award! It’s not unusual for two or
three in the rear to kind of hang back a little to
get into that position to end up with some kind
of award! And they can prove they did finish,
right?
For info on the race and results, go to
Iditarod.com…. so ... HIKE! (They don’t really
yell “mush”)

Hi from the starting line.
Balto
Balto (1919 – March 14, 1933) was a black and white
Siberian husky sled dog who led his team on the final leg
of the 1925 serum run to Nome, in which diphtheria
antitoxin was transported from Anchorage, Alaska, to
Nenana, Alaska, by train and then to Nome by dog sled
to combat an outbreak of the disease. The run is
commemorated by the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog
Race. Balto was named after the Sami explorer Samuel
Balto. Balto died of old age at 14.
The 1995 animated film of the same name was also
made, loosely depicting Balto's famous journey. The film
portrayed him as a half-wolf outcast and is voiced by
Kevin Bacon.
With Balto in Central Park is our Graphic Designers daughter
Xandria when she was 7, she is now 23 and still loves the movie

SHARING MY TRAVELS …
SALZBURG, AUSTRIA
By Genevieve Lumia
One of the most beautiful and beguiling cities
I have ever visited is Salzburg, Austria. I loved
this little city. It was an unplanned side trip
which turned out to be a wonderful surprise.
It is the fourth largest city in Austria on the
banks of the Salzach River at the northern
boundary of the Alps. It is particularly known for
its Baroque architecture in the Old Town section
of the city. It is also known as the birthplace of
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Mozart family
home still stands in the Old Town. It is a bright
yellow building. The Mozarts lived on the third
floor.
Unfortunately, there are no living
descendants of the Mozarts.
Salzburg’s history goes back before the
Romans. During the occupation of Rome, the city
became famous for the salt mines in the
mountainsides surrounding the town. In those
days, salt was a valuable commodity and its
residents became wealthy by mining the salt. It
was at that time that the term “worth your salt”
came into use. Roman artifacts are still being
found in those mountains.
The year 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of
the making of the classic film, “The Sound of
Music.” The Von Trapp family lived in Salzburg
until they fled the Nazis before the Second World
War. The music theater where they were singing
in the competition before their escape is still in use.
The film was made in Salzburg at the Belvidere
Palace and the Mirabelle Gardens. The gardens
are classic formal gardens and the solarium where
the actors sang “Do Re Mi” stands in that garden.
The garden also contains four statues at the four
corners representing the four elements of Life —
fire, air, water and earth. A small statue of a
young girl from the Mozart opera The Pan Flute or
The Magic Flute adorns a small garden near the
Belvidere Palace.
Today, there are street
musicians serenading visitors to the garden and
palace grounds.
This lovely small city is also known as the
birthplace of Josef Mohr who, together with Franz
Gruber, composed and wrote the text for “Silent
Night.” As a priest in the neighboring town of
Oberndorf, Josef Mohr performed the carol for the
first time in 1818. The notable musician and
conductor, Herbert von Karajan was also born in
Salzburg. He died in 1989; his home still stands
and can be viewed.
Before we left Salzburg, we stopped at St.
Peter’s Monastery and ate at the famous St. Peter’s
Stiftskeller.
The Stiftskeller is the oldest
restaurant in Europe, having served meals since
the year 803. It is said that Charlemagne, King of
the Franks and Emperor of the Romans, dined
there before his death in 814. For 51 Euro, a diner
can eat his dinner and listen to a Mozart concert.
Service at the restaurant is formal. The wait staff
wears tuxedos. The meal we had was excellent,
consisting of basil cream soup, homemade breads,
roast chicken with stuffing and leeks, and
chocolate mousse with a butter cookie and
caramelized orange slice.
Before we returned to Vienna, we walked
through the Old Town and enjoyed the wonderful
little shops and vendors and the Baroque
architecture all around us.

Burlington County fourth graders
met at Memorial School in Cinnaminson
recently to test their problem solving
skills at the 25TH ANNUAL INTERDISTRICT CONFERENCE DAY, also
known as the “Brain Drain Games.”
The students in the Burlington
County
Consortium
represented
Cinnaminson, Delran, Hainesport,
Maple Shade, Moorestown, Palmyra,
Riverside, and Riverton. It was formed
in 1990 by several school districts in the
western part of the county for the
purpose of sharing resources and ideas
to improve education for those students
who participate in gifted and talented
programs and the arts.
Students were challenged during a
day of thought-provoking problemsolving activities that put their brains
and teamwork abilities to the test. Some
of the intriguing activities are PONGO,
RAISIN’ RAISINS, STRUPPORTS, A
SHOT IN THE DARK, CANE MUTINY,
and EYEWITNESS.
Each team of students was a mix of
students from several other districts so
it was exciting to watch the students
come together for the first time and
attack a problem and come up with a
solution within the 18 minute time
frame for each activity.
Burlington County 4th
Graders Solve Problems,
Learn Teamwork,
and Have Fun
During STRUPPORTS, students
had to create a straw bridge using 50
straws in wrappers. No tape or any
other supplies were provided. Students
had to figure out how to build the bridge,
and then make it strong enough to hold
a variety of weights.
Scores were
obtained based on length of the bridge
between two chairs and number of
weights the bridge could hold.
In
RAISIN’ RAISINS students were given
an array of materials and had to figure
out how to make a raisin rise up and
scores were obtained based on height the
raisin was able to move.
At the end of the day, each student
Students attempt to move Skittles
through hollow canes
filled out an evaluation form, rating the
various activities and sharing insights as
to what they learned about working as a
team. Comments such as “not everyone
agrees,” “it’s not easy but it’s fun,” “you
have to be open-minded,” “you have to
listen to other people’s ideas,” and “you
can’t always be the leader” show
tremendous growth from this experience.
The Consortium is committed to the
idea that a better understanding will
exist between students and educators of
various school districts when students
are given an opportunity to work closely
in teams with students from other
schools

SHOPRITE ASSOCIATES “LEND A HAND FOR HUNGER”
AND LAND A SPOT ON A CHEERIOS BOX
Hundreds of ShopRite associates across six states banded together last September
in a friendly competition sponsored by ShopRite and General Mills, the annual
ShopRite Partners In Caring Cheerios Contest. With the “Lending a Hand for Hunger” theme,
ShopRite associates once again rolled up their sleeves and worked hard to fight hunger
in the communities where ShopRite stores operate.
Associates collected donations at check-out and held various events in store,
raising $1.3 million during the popular contest to support regional food banks in
communities served by ShopRite stores. Now those associates are being recognized
for their dedication and hard work with a prized spot on a special-edition Cheerios
box.
Each of the 40 winning ShopRite stores chose two ShopRite associates to be
featured on a special-edition Cheerios box. The store was awarded funds ($3,000 for
the top 5 stores, and $500 for the remaining winning stores), that will be presented to
local food pantries chosen by their store team.
Among this year’s winning stores is the ShopRite of Delran, N.J. which raised
$11,392.25 to help fight hunger in the local community! Associate Bill Trefz, from Mt.
Holly, NJ and Associate Karen Ruhl from Delran, NJ were featured on 150,000
special-edition Cheerios boxes for their store’s commitment. The boxes were unveiled
during a ceremony at the ShopRite of Delran on March 11th.

This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last. Oscar Wilde
THE IRISH
PAINTER
Submitted by
Bob Willard
An Irish painter by the name of Murphy, while not a brilliant scholar, was a
gifted portrait artist. Over a short number of years, his fame grew and soon people
from all over Ireland were coming to the town of Doolin in County Clare, to get him
to paint their likenesses.
One day, a beautiful young English woman arrived at his house in a stretch limo
and asked if he would paint her in the nude. This being the first time anyone had
made such a request he was a bit perturbed, particularly when the woman told him
that money was no object; in fact, and she was willing to pay up to $10,000. Not
wanting to get into any marital strife, he asked her to wait while he went into the
house to confer with Mary, his wife. In a few minutes he returned. "It 'would be me
pleasure to paint yer portrait, missus," he said "The wife says it's okay. I'll paint ya
in da nude alright, but I have to at least leave me socks on so I have a place to wipe
me brushes.”
A New Rolls Royce
She says she is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow
$5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan;
so, the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked on the
street in front of the bank. She has the title and everything checks out. The bank
agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using
a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then
proceeds to drive the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which
comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your
business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely; but, we're a little puzzled.
While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire.
What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" The blonde replies,
"The airport wanted to charge me two hundred dollars to store my car. Where else in
New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be
there when I return?"
Not all blondes are dumb.

There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full. Henry A. Kissinger
A TITANIC JOURNEY
By Will Valentino
FUTILITY
Everyone who knows me knows I love talking the
Titanic, although there isn't much about the most famous
ship in the world that hasn't already been said. In 1997
Titanic recaptured the heart of the world all over again
thereafter, I moved to Palmyra and was surprised to
discover in a press clipping that Palmyra had been home
to an Edwardian gentleman named August Weikman, who
had been the commodore Barber on the Titanic. In the
intervening years, I have since researched and
fleshed out Weikman's unique tale of survival
Reaching out to the memory of the
aboard the doomed ship with the assistance of
Titanic. (Photo by Will Valentino)
world renowned Titanic historian and Author
Charlie Haas. The resulting definitive article
was cover featured in the Spring 2008 issue of
VOYAGER, the Official Journal of the Titanic
International Society. Subsequently, I am proud
to say that both The Positive Press and The
Philadelphia Inquirer have published condensed
versions of my article on Palmyra's gentleman
barber that have further added a welcome new
voice to the “Titanic” conversation and placed
Weikman into his rightful context in local New
Jersey history.
This April, I thought I would share a poem
on the doomed ship I published in a numbered
limited edition in 1998. The poem draws its
inspiration from an 1898 novella by the son of a
sea captain named Morgan Robertson. The short
novel was called “Futility - or - The Wreck of the
Titan.” In the novella published 14 years before
the Titanic sank a similar sized ship that was
believed to be unsinkable hits an iceberg in April
and a similar number of its passengers perish
due to inadequate lifeboats. Kind of creepy, but
when James Cameron’s ground breaking film shattered Robertson denied any claims of clairvoyance. In reality,
box office records with his retelling of Titanic's doomed passengers who witnessed the Titanic's demise remarked
maiden voyage. What made the film especially interesting that the sinking ship looked like a giant finger on the
was that Cameron, a history buff, insisted on canvassing ocean. With this in mind, my “Futility” was born on an
his film with historically accurate sets from Deck planking early morning walk on a deserted Ocean City, Maryland
to the Grand Staircase that features so prominently in the beach as I raised my hand to shield my eyes from the
film. It was as if the ship was once again with us and encroaching sunrise. So, here's to the Titanic! 104 years
suddenly the ship itself was a pop culture icon! Shortly gone and still with us like she never left!
by Will Valentino
In memory of August Weikman
Palmyra's Titanic Barber
I look at my finger
Against the river
In a glass of water
and held against the starry sky
and it looks nothing like the great Titan sinking.
Tomorrow,
I will go to the beach,
Reach out to the sea,
and test the finger
on the great ocean
Remembering to look for icebergs
As I toast the dark and rolling sea.
De Profundus Clamavi
from out of the sea
have I called unto thee
My fingers
barely touching
her
cold
and
icy
grave.

DELANCO TOWNSHIP First Presbyterian Church
I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to f ind somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party. Ron White
Submitted by Peter Fritz, Chair; 609-760-7746
Delanco Township has recently
expanded its historic exhibits with a
tribute to First Presbyterian Church of
Delanco, which served the community for
142 years before closing its doors in
December of 2014.
The congregation organized the
morning of August 25, 1872 in Delanco
and the cornerstone for a sanctuary was
laid August 6, 1873. The first Sabbath
service was held March 1, 1874. The
sanctuary was expanded in 1905, again
in 1926, and an educational building and
social hall was added in 1967. The last
service was held Sunday, December 28,
2014 after 142 years of service to the
community.
Over the years, the church served
the Delanco community in many ways. In
addition to its own congregants, it
contributed to the nation's war efforts,
losing five young members in action
during World War II. The church and its
volunteers sponsored youth groups
beginning with United Boys Brigade in
1910, Boy Scout Troop 1 in 1920 and
Troop 2 in 1925. After a gap, Troop 19
was chartered in 1937, Explorer Post 19
was chartered in 1952 and Cub Scout
Pack 19 was chartered in 1954. Delanco
Sea Explorers Ship 19 was chartered in
1956. Girl Scouts of America began
operations with a Brownie troop in
January 1951. Girls' programs later
Weber
expanded to include Juniors, Cadettes,
and a Senior Troop.
The church also hosted activities of
Delanco’s Senior Citizens, which
organized January 9, 1973 under the
formal sponsorship of the church. This
included monthly luncheons beginning
with a covered dish on June 12, 1973.
Arts and crafts activities followed, along
with seasonal trips for seniors.
In more recent years, First
Presbyterian Church also served as a
Code Blue Emergency Shelter for the
community,
in
conjunction
with
Burlington County Office on Aging.
We are pleased to be able to display
the ladies quilt created by a talented
group of women of the church to honor
and memorialize 120 members of the
community. Through this new exhibit by
Delanco's Historic Preservation Advisory
Board, the community expresses its
appreciation and gratitude for many
years of service.
This exhibit is the fourth currently
on display in the atrium at Delanco
Municipal Complex at 770 Coopertown
Road. Exhibits are free and open to the
public during regular business hours
Monday - Friday: 9 am to 4 pm, and
Monday evenings from 7 pm to 9 pm
(except the fourth Friday of the month).
For all of this, the Delanco
community is grateful.
This photo was
taken of First Presbyterian Church
when it was first
built in 1873. Over
the years it served
as a central institution in the community until it closed
its doors in 2014.

THE LADIES’ QUILT
The beautiful handmade quilt on display was created by fifteen
ladies of First Presbyterian Church of Delanco, coordinated by Dorothy
Myers McDougall. The project was mounted in 1997 as a social activity
and as a fundraising project for the church. It measures 72 by 82 inches.
Each square represents a memorial or an honorarium and cost
$1.00. All who participated in the project are listed on the back of the
quilt. Those quilting squares: Ruth VanSciver, Alice Henning, Elsie
Verner, Dolores McDougall, Gertrude Cunningham and Dorothy MyersMcDougall. Those involved in appliqué and stitching: Florence Miller,
Nancy Schaeffer, Mary Kingsley, Helen Phillips, Miranda Brooks, Pat
McIntosh, Joanne Clair, Nancy Rodgers and Meg Simicsak. Most of the
fabric was donated.
The quilt was displayed on the wall in the church for many years, a
testament to workmanship, generosity and spirit of cooperation. The
quilt is on generous loan from Florence Miller.

friends and relatives of the community. Committee members are (L to R):

PRICES BEAT
THEIRS.
An elderly man, from Georgia, was going up to bed,
when his wife told him he'd left the light on in the garden
shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. He
opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw people
in the shed stealing things. He phoned the police, who asked
"Is someone in your house?" He said "No," but some people
are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.
Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You
should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one
is available." The old guy said, "Okay." He hung up the
phone and counted to 30.
Then he phoned the police again. "Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because
there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them
now because I just shot them." and he hung up. Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a
SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up
at the residence, and caught the burglars red-handed. One of the Policemen said to old
guy, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!" The wise old man said, "I thought you said
there was nobody available!"
MY WIFE WON’T LIKE IT
Submitted by Bob Willard
One day many years ago, I accidentally overturned my golf cart.
Elizabeth, a very attractive and keen golfer, who lived in a villa on the
golf course, heard the noise and called out: “Are you okay, what's your
name?” “It's David and I'm okay thanks,” I replied. “David, forget your troubles. Come
to my villa, rest a while and I'll help you get the cart up later.”
“That's mighty nice of you,” I answered, but I don't think my wife would like it.” “Oh,
come on,” Elizabeth insisted.
She was very pretty, very sexy and persuasive . I was weak. “Well okay,” I finally
agreed and added, “but my wife won't like it.” After a few restorative Vodka and tonic
water, I thanked Elizabeth: “I feel a lot better now, but I know my wife is going to be
really upset. So I best go now.” “Don't be silly!” Elizabeth said with a smile. “She won't
know anything. By the way, where is she?” “Probably still under the cart,” I said.
