ZANE CLARK/The Sun

Voorhees resident Emily Maffucci was recently out and about to some pleasant weather in Connolly Park with her two dogs, Ellen, a
Yorkipoo, and Baci, a black Labrador mix.

Those in and around Voorhees

looking to support a good cause,
or several good causes for that
matter, will definitely have something to check out Aug. 14-16
with the annual Checking for
Charity ice hockey tournament.
The East Coast version of the
annual tournament will soon return to the Flyers Skate Zones in
Voorhees and Pennsauken, during which various teams will go
head-to-head, each in support of
their own designated charitable
organization.
With each team chipping in its
entry fee for the tournament pot,
and with money raised at additional events, the better a team
performs in the tournament, the
larger amount of money that
team will receive for its chosen
charity.
And even if a team ranks
lower, all participating teams will
still get some money for their

Americans with Disabilities

Act has improved access
By Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez
The Americans
with Disabilities
Act (ADA) was
signed into law on
July 26, 1990 to improve public access
for individuals living with disabilities,
and to establish a
comprehensive prohibition of discrimination on the basis
of disability. The law defines a disability as any condition that impairs
one or more major life activities.
Since the law was enacted 25 years
ago, public access for individuals living with disabilities has greatly improved, and the prohibition of
discrimination on the basis of disability has been firmly established
for the 54 million Americans living
with disabilities.
The ADA protects people with both
physical and mental disabilities
from discrimination. In 2008, the law
was expanded to include chronic
health conditions such as epilepsy,
diabetes and cancer.
Across the Nation and in our own
County, we have witnessed the physical changes that have taken place to
our infrastructure to benefit those
living with disabilities. These positive improvements have ranged from
reversing the direction a door swings
and adjusting the height of counters
to the installation of entrance ramps
and the addition of curb cuts at
street crossings.
In some cases, these changes have
meant the difference between a person living with disabilities attending
a theatrical or sporting event, running errands for themselves or even
securing gainful employment.
During this important anniversary, we salute the brave individuals
that fought hard to bring about this
legislation. We also honor the outstanding individuals that have

worked tirelessly to
implement the intent
of the law over the
past 25 years, to enrich
the lives of those living with disabilities.
In order to assist the
needs of persons living with disabilities in
Camden County, the
Freeholder
Board
maintains an office of
Senior and Disabled Services. This
division of the Camden County Department of Health and Human
Services is located in the DiPiero
Center, 512 Lakeland Road in
Gloucester Township. The staff of
the Division of Senior and Disabled
services provides information on a
wide range of topics including basic
benefits for persons with disabilities,
employment resources, health care
and transportation.
The Camden County Division for
Senior and Disabled Services is a
New Jersey Aging Disability Resource Connection. This designation is given to offices that are able to
provide intensive information and
assistance to individuals seeking access to a wide range of services.
They also work to ensure that our
disabled and senior populations are
aware of the programs to which they
are eligible. The senior and disabled
population is changing and we are
doing all we can to address their
needs and concerns.
For more information on the Camden County Division of Senior and
Disabled services, please call (856)
858-1870. If you have any questions
or comments about other Camden
County services, please call me at
(856) 225-5575 or email me at [email protected]. Also, you

Bicycle and Pedestrian Pathway

Committee looking for members
The committee helps the township examine the current bike
pathway map and plays part in decisions for future pathways
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
Voorhees residents who like to
bike
know
firsthand
that
Voorhees Township has a multitude of bike pathways 14.6 miles
worth to be exact.
However, what some of those
bike enthusiasts might be slightly
less aware of are the efforts of the
Voorhees Township Bicycle and
Pedestrian Pathway Committee
a committee thats always looking
for new members.
According to Voorhees Township administrator Larry Spellman, the committee has been
around for more than 10 years,
helping the township examine

the bike pathway map and playing a part in the decision-making

process of where pathways might
be expanded in the future.
Spellman said suggestions
from the committee then definitely go on to factor into the townships final decisions.
It really is that simple. Its just
kind of saying how can we make
biking easier in Voorhees, Spellman said.
According to Spellman, the
group also helps the township in
getting grants for biking-related
installations in town.
Because of them, weve gotten
grants to install bike racks, and
because of them, we make sure
when we have new buildings put

in we have bike racks there,

Spellman said.
Spellman said the newest plans
being developed are for the expansion of a bike path along Victor
Boulevard through to Chippenham Drive and onto Old Egg Harbor Road, which would connect to
neighboring Gibbsboros bike network.
Thats kind of the nice thing,
all the towns in the area all happily work together to connect our
bike roadways, and weve also
had new developments to make
sure they put bike lanes and sidewalks in, Spellman said.
The bike paths in the township
include:
Centennial Boulevard from
Old Egg Harbor Road to Evesham
Road
Cooper Road from Centennial
Boulevard to the Berlin Township
border
Dutchtown Road through
Lions Lake Park
Kresson Road from Cooper
Road to Route 73
Laurel Oak Road from Haddonfield-Berlin Road connecting
to Centennial Boulevard
Lucas Lane from Britton
Place to White Horse Road
Regency Drive to Dutchtown
Road
Somerdale Road from Burnt
Mill Road to Evesham Road
Victor Boulevard from Cooper
Road to Haddonfield-Berlin Road
A complete map of the township bike paths is available on the
homepage of the townships website
at
www.voorheesnj.com
under the Maps section.

learning
more
about
the
Voorhees Township Bicycle and
Pedestrian Pathway Committee

group can call Voorhees Township at (856) 428-5914.

The five albino children are being treated at Shriners Hospital

of Philadelphia after being mutilated in witchcraft ritual in East Africa
In June, the world learned the
story of five Tanzanian children,
three boys and two girls, who
have Albinism, and were mutilated in a witchcraft ritual by elders
in their village. In East Africa,
particularly Tanzania, the limbs
of albino children and adults
and sometimes even bones dug up
from graves are sold to witch
doctors to use in good luck
charms and magical potions.
Thanks to Global Medical Relief, a children's charity based in
Staten Island, the kids were
brought to the U.S. and given
medical assistance. They partnered
with
doctors
from
Shriners Hospital of Philadelphia and took on the mission of
reconstructive surgeries and
prosthetic preparation to help
these kids have some quality of
life.
Locally, the story reached Ami
Feller, who handles community
relations at The Voorhees Care
and Rehabilitation Center. During the same timeframe, one of
the seniors she works with in a
health-care environment was inspired to work with other senior
citizens at her center to craft
handmade greeting cards for disabled children locally.
Feller shared the horrific story
with Diane Harvey, resident council president who together with
Feller conceived the Cards 4
Kids initiative. Harvey was in
agreement some cards should be
designated for the Tanzanian five.
I want them to know were
thinking about them, its really
hard, Harvey said, recalling
being hospitalized for childhood
polio without parents visitation
and being scared. These kids
have it worse being in an unfamilPSA

iar country.
Feller combined the cards with
a donated basket full of stuffed
animals from a residents spouse.
Feller reached out to Terry Diamond, a longtime development director of Shriners Hospital for
Children, to verify if they
thought this would be appropriate for these kids. The cards and
animals were delivered with the
intent the children will receive
the gifts during their follow-up
with Shriners.
Some had various surgeries
and were casted for prosthetics.
They headed back to the Dare to
Dream House during their U.S.
stay and were returning to the
hospital for follow-ups. Mid July
Feller brought the items to
Shriners Development Director
Terry Diamond to have the items
distributed to these special children.

I would like to thank you for

donating the stuffed animals and
beautiful cards to our pediatric
patients from Tanzaniaand will
share them when they return to

residents for the goodies for the
patients.
The children received the cards
during their hectic day on July 23
busy grabbing lunches in between appointments. They smiled
and each picked a stuffed animal
of their liking. Most do not speak
English except the oldest, but
they have all learned to say
thank you.
As far as the prosthetics go,
Shriners often continue to take
care of children from other countries as they grow and they need
either a new prosthetic or repairs
to a current prosthetics.

Throughout the year, The Sun wants to be your source for school information

Dan McDonough Jr.

chairman of elauwit media

ith schools preparing to

open their doors in a few
short weeks, now is a good
time to talk about the upcoming academic year.
This week, were featuring our first
Back to School special section, which
is included inside this issue. The second section is coming in two weeks.
In the next few weeks, well have
more comprehensive back to school
coverage, including a Q&A with the superintendent of the school district to
keep you informed of all the changes
and excitement on the horizon for the
2015-2016 school year.
At The Sun, were all about community news, which, of course, includes
covering the local school districts.
Well be at as many school board meetings as possible and do our best to stay
on top of the hard news taxes,
budgets, elections and the like.
But we want to be able to bring our
readers so much more. To do that, we
need your help.

School news
With the start of a new school year creeping up on us, we want to invite everyone
to share their news with us. From the
classroom to extra-curricular activities, let
us know what is happening in your school,
and well spread the word.

When students achieve in the classroom, in the arts, in sports, etc., we

want to hear about it, so that we can
share that news with the entire community.
We publish an On Campus section
of our paper to do just that to recognize the hard-working students in a
way that stands out from other sections of our paper.
Making the honor roll, winning a
spelling bee, excelling in an extra-curricular activity, its all news to us.
Problem is, we dont always hear
about these accomplishments. Thats
where you come in.
If youre a parent, and your child
does something special, shoot us an
email. Include a photo, if possible.

If youre a teacher or principal, and

you have a special event coming up or
there is other news that your people in
town should know about, tell us about
it.
If possible, well have a reporter
present to cover the event or write a
story and take photos. If not, well figure out a way to get your news into the
paper, one way or another.
Too often, the news is driven by
events that anger or sadden people.
Too often, the good work of young people is ignored or, at the least, certainly
not celebrated the way it should be.
And there are a lot of young people
doing good these days.
We want to change that. We want to
let everyone in town know when
theres something positive going on,
when young people go beyond the ordinary to help someone or have an outstanding accomplishment.
Call, email or write. Just let us know
whats happening in your school so
that we can share it.

Animal rescues partner for Voorhees Pet Day Aug. 15

The Voorhees Animal Welfare Association and The Voorhees Animal Orphanage
are partnering for Voorhees Pet Day on
Aug. 15 from noon to 4 p.m. Both shelters
will provide Voorhees pets with free microchips and will also offer free scanning
of existing microchips to ensure the pets
information is up to date. The AWA is located at 509 Centennial Blvd. and the VAO
is located at 419 Cooper Road. Aug. 15 is
National Check the Chip Day, founded to
raise awareness of the importance of microchipping our pets.
Microchips are a great way to reunite
lost pets with their owners. One in three

pets gets lost at some

point in their lives, and 90
percent of lost pets without any identification
never make it home. Since
collars and tags can break
off, a microchip is a security device for the pet and
their owner. The AWA and
the VAO are teaming up
Michael
to help keep pets in
Mignogna
Voorhees safe.
Voorhees Township is MAYORS MESSAGE
supporting this event
with the use of animal licensure funds.

Each shelter will offer 75 free microchips

to the pets of Voorhees residents. Proof of
Voorhees residency and licensure must be
presented to qualify for one free microchip.
Voorhees residents needing additional pet
microchips can purchase them at a discounted rate of $15. Non-Voorhees residents can get their pets scanned and microchipped during this event for $18. For
more information, contact the AWA at (856)
424-2288 or www.awanj.org and VAO at
(856) 627-9111 or www.vaonj.org.

HOPE Church drama camp presents

The Star Factor: Many Gifts, One Voice
After a whirlwind, two-week,
summer music and drama camp
held at HOPE Church, close to 60
third-eighth graders will be performing a production of The
Star Factor: Many Gifts, One
Voice on Thursday, Aug. 13 at 7
p.m. at the church campus located
at 700 Cooper Road in Voorhees.
In just two weeks time, participants will have learned their
songs, their lines and their dance
moves all while constructing
their own stage sets. The only

thing left is to share what theyve

learned with the community.
The Star Factors setting is
Camp Heart & Soul, a summer
arts camp that features a talent
showcase with an exciting twist:
the showcase winner earns the
opportunity to compete on a national TV show.
As everyone excitedly prepares
for the performance, their initial
group cooperation begins to
crumble as their celebrity coach
tells the campers that looking

out for yourself is the only way to

become a star!
Come join HOPE Church on
Aug. 13 and see how a series of
zany complications climax at the
broadcast of the show when all
the would-be stars finally learn
that being part of the Body of
Christ is what is important, and
every person has a special and
unique role to play.
The performance is free and
open to the public and nursery
care is provided. All are welcome.

To qualify for the national competition sponsored by the American Advertising Federation, the

Voorhees Township, was one of
the 32 students who were part of
this years team.
JWUs Ad Team has won the
district competition six out of the
last seven years. At the national
level, it came in second in 2015,
fourth in 2014 and 2013, and third
in 2012 and 2011.
All college teams that compet-

ed created an advertising campaign for Pizza Hut, which included all facets of advertising: television, radio, social media and
print.
The JWU Ad Team campaign
focused on getting consumers
excited when ordering pizza online from Pizza Hut.
This years first-place winner
was the University of Oregon,
and St. Johns University in New
York finished third.

animal welfare organization that
serves the people and animals of
southern New Jersey. AWA is dedicated to eliminating animal suffering, promoting the importance
of the human-animal bond, and
improving the role of animals in
the well being of people. Through
a variety of programs including
adoptions, veterinary services,
pet therapy, and humane education, in 2014 more than 23,000 pets
were served through AWA programming. AWA is South Jerseys leader in progressive companion animal care.
The VAO is a 501(c) 3 non-profit

organization that has been dedicated since 1988 to helping families find their new four-legged
friend, and providing shelter, food
and medical care to South Jerseys stray and unwanted animals
until their forever homes can be
found. It is the shelter of record
for 13 municipalities in Camden
County, taking in approximately
1,500 stray and abandoned animals annually. The VAO finds
homes for more than 700 cats and
dogs each year.
The next show in our Summer Twilight Series is Friday,
Aug. 7, as Voorhees Township
welcomes for the first time Good

the Beach Boys with the energy of

a live stage production. Elaborate
lighting effects and costumes
aptly frame the seasoned musicians who step into these very
large shoes to render an authentic Beach Boys experience. The
show is free and starts at 7:30 p.m.
at Connolly Park. For more information

charity.
As in years past, the tournament is free to attend and open to
the public.
Dating back to 2009, the annual
charity tournaments grew from
an original group of local hockey
players who got together on Sundays for pickup hockey.
One of those players, now
Checking for Charitys president
Matt Bader, had the idea to combine that love of hockey with
raising money for some good
causes, and a few months later,
Checking for Charity was born.
The first years tournament
saw $9,000 raised, and now with
the group celebrating its seventh

year in operation, the tournaments and related events that followed have brought that total to
almost $195,000.
Bader described the Checking
for Charity non-profit and the
tournaments it organizes as a
way for hockey fans to have good
time using the game they love
and a way to give something back.
After we did a tournament or
two, we started to realize there
was something bigger than that,
Bader said. A lot of people in the
hockey community and the general community and the organizations represented saw it was
something special.
In addition to money raised by
the teams in the tournament itself, the night before the tournament starts on Thursday, Aug. 13
from 6-10 p.m. there will be a
Checking for Charity Beef & Beer
party at The Taproom and Grill,
427 W. Crystal Lake Ave. in Haddon Township.
Beef & Beer party events include food, beer, music, raffles,
auctions, giveaways and more
and are open to players, their families, friends or just those who
love hockey, philanthropy or having a good time.
With tickets $40 online or $50 at
the door, all proceeds from the
Beef & Beer will enter the Checking For Charity tournament pot.
Its a good way to talk to people in the hockey community and

the broader community and let

them know what were all about
and what the charities are about,
Bader said.
Moving into the tournament
weekend, Bader said those who
attend also usually stick around
to watch all the games and barbeque, while also getting the
chance to learn more about the
charities being played for.
Its not just people show up to
play and leave. It ends up being
more of a weekend event, Bader
said.
Bader said the tournaments
also give hockey fans a chance to
watch some fairly high level
competition, with teams often including a few former AHL and
NHL players.
You can show up, buy a t-shirt
with money going to the charities
and maybe even get an autograph
from some old favorites, Bader
said.
For more information about
this years East Coast Checking
for Charity event in Voorhees, the
Taproom and Grill Beef & Beer or
the Checking for Charity organization, visit www.checkingforcharity.com.
It can be a lot of work, and its
not always the most immediately
thankful work, but on the weekend of the tournament, its awesome to see that youre actually
making a difference for these
charities, Bader said.
