International
Day returns

Eastern takes down Cherry Hill West, 1-0

Experience different cultures

at Eastern on Saturday, Oct. 10
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
There are nearly 200 countries
in the world, and within even just
one of those countries can be a
countless number of cultures, all
unique in their own ways.
Over the years, many of those
unique cultures and practices
have found a place in Voorhees
Township, and so on Oct. 10 at
Eastern Regional High School,
the people of those different cultures and backgrounds will once
again come together and celebrate with this years International Day.
International Day is the annual
event where the cultures of the
town and surrounding communities gather to embrace and appreciate the areas vast cultural diversity.
The event serves to highlight
multiple aspects of the cultures
involved, with ethnic food, traditional songs and dance, culturalspecific outfits and more.
As in years past, the 2015 event

will be hosted by the Voorhees

Cultural and Diversity Committee and the Voorhees Cultural and
Diversity Foundation and sponsored by the Camden County
Board of Freeholders and the
Camden County Human Relations Commission.
International Day chairwoman
Gwen DeVera said the event has
only gotten bigger and bigger
over the years, which is why the
event moved to Eastern.
Everybody is nice, and its a
lot of friendly people, DeVera
said.
This years event will take
place from 1-5 p.m. and will start
with a Parade of Nations.
Representatives from dozens of
countries will march with their
national flags, followed by a parade where marchers will wear
the traditional outfits of their respective countries.
With each country wearing
their international costumes, people get to know each other and
make friends, DeVera said.

N.J. law would be good, but federal government needs to step in, too

Dan McDonough Jr.

chairman of elauwit media

here are laws in place to protect peoples privacy. For example, it is not legal for someone
to walk onto your property and peer
into your ground-floor windows. It is
not legal for someone to place a ladder
against your house to climb and look
through your second-floor windows. It
is not legal for someone to walk on
your property and take photographs
or video.
However, the law becomes a little
unclear when you take the situations
above and replace the trespassing person in question with a drone.
New Jersey, thankfully, is trying to
clear up any ambiguity.
State Sen. Richard Codey is proposing legislation that would require
drones sold in New Jersey to be
equipped with technology that would

keep them from flying above 500 feet

and from restricted air space.
Before commercial aviation and
other technology wer around, a property owner was entitled to everything
on his or her land, including the soil
beneath and the air above. Naturally,
that changed over time, so as to not
prevent airplanes from flying overhead.
Now, though, the availability and affordability of drones has brought into
question just what should and should
not be allowed.
We agree with Codey that we dont

want someone flying a drone over our

house, or on our property, for that matter.
We like our privacy, and feel we are
entitled to it.
We also agree that, on a much larger
scale, drones can present safety issues as they did at the U.S. Open tennis tournament, a University of Kentucky football game and sightings
around Newark Liberty Airport recently.
And while we hope our legislators
pass regulations on drones within our
state, we hope the federal government
takes steps to pass federal bans and restrictions on drones, so people cant
just go over the state line to purchase a
drone without the restrictive technology and then fly it over our house with
no regard for our privacy or safety.

Celebrate our differences at International Day

We should acknowledge our differences,
embrace our differences and celebrate our
differences until differences make no difference at all.
In 2007, the Voorhees Township Committee established the Citizens Cultural and
Diversity Advisory Committee to recognize and promote racial, ethnic and cultural diversity in our community. We were the
first community in South Jersey to establish such an important group.
The Diversity Committee fosters human
relations through education and encouragement of respect and understanding
among the diverse population of Voorhees
Township. The committee provides an opportunity for input from all residents in developing programs leading to greater understanding and values of our diverse community.
On Saturday, Oct. 10 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.,

the Diversity Committee will hold its

annual International Day at Eastern
Regional
High
School. The event is
free and will include international
foods, multi-cultural displays and performances
that
highlight our community's cultural
diversity.

Through a decade of education at the library

By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
When William Brahms began
managing the Voorhees Branch
Library 11 years ago, there was
no Wi-Fi, only a minimal amount
of programing geared toward
adults, no librarian specifically
for young adults, and the library
was still lending LP records and
cassette tapes.
When I came here, we were
the statewide reference center,
Brahms recalls. That meant that
if a library anywhere in the state
could not answer a reference
question, they called us and we
had the books and a big staff to
look it up.
While that particular function
of the library ceased in 2006, the
core function of the library to educate, inform and entertain remains as it has since its founding
in 1969, albeit ever changing to
suit the needs of its patrons.
Over these past 10 years,
Brahms said those changes have
included almost everything, from

the addition of more than 75 public access computers, Wi-Fi

throughout the building, more
adult courses, more meeting
space and meeting rooms, a librarian and space specifically for
young adults, literacy programs,
high school education programs,
online tutoring services, streaming services, downloadable books
and music, and more.
We really wanted to make this
more a community center
where are the community centers
in towns anymore? Brahms wonders. A lot of the organizations
that used to foster that sort of
stuff have kind of faded away, but
we are open more than 60 hours a
week.
Take for example the library's
teen space, The Corner, also
added within the last 10 years,
which features an HD TV, a performance stage, booths, chairs
and shelves filled with graphic
and young adult novels.
Its important to keep up with
the changing trends, and young
adults are the gateway to the

On Sept. 22, the Voorhees Branch Library held one of its many programs with Little Listeners Lapsit
where young children could come enjoy stories, music and more. Over the past decade, the library has
greatly expanded its offering of programs for all ages as the library moves toward a community center
type atmosphere.
trends, and if you capture someone young in life as a library user,
you have them for life, Brahms
said.
For the books the library does
have, which is still many, sophisticated software now tracks the
rate at which books are being
checked out, something impossible to determine 10 years ago outside of physically looking at
every book in the collection.
When I came here, we used to
pour through magazines and circle reviews and order books,
Brahms said. Technology has really aided the ability to see what
people are reading.
Brahms said being able to remove books no one was using,
along with big back catalogues of
magazines and other old print
media now available online, has

physically changed the landscape

of the library.
Thats opened space, and
opening up spaces allows us to
put computers in, put in educational centers, the teen center,
and I think thats one of the reasons why we're doing more.
Even programs geared toward
the librarys youngest patrons,
those who still cant read, have increased over the past decade.
This is just my theory, but
young kids, before they really become computer accessible, they
still need a physical book,
Brahms said. Were the main
point for parents to get physical
books into kids hands, and childrens programing has also increased.
And, as Brahms noted, the library has far more programs for

adults in 2015 than it did in 2005,

including advanced computer education classes, senior groups,
lecture series, concerts, high
school education and even multiple books clubs, some with very
specific niches such as meetings
for those with intellectual or developmental disabilities or discussions on books that are entirely non-fiction.
The library was typically seen
as a place that only does programing for kids, but adult programming has grown a lot, Brahms
said.
Brahms said that although calling the library leads to a recorded
message announcing most of the
librarys services are now available on the web, the branch still
receives more 400,000 visitors a
year.
Technology has opened up
space in the library, Brahms
said. It has opened up easier access to service and different services, has allowed us to learn what
people want more and has allowed us to put more technology
in the library that people want to
use and need to use in their lives.

Its all about being a team for Phil Smart

Eastern vice principal of athletics looks back on his close to 11 years in his position at the school
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
The word compete is defined as
striving to gain or win something
by defeating or establishing superiority over others who are trying
to do the same. This is what the
Eastern Vikings are all about.
Our biggest challenge is that
we play and compete in the most
competitive division in the state
of New Jersey, Phil Smart, vice
principal of athletics at Eastern
High School, said.
The Olympic American conference is stocked full of perennial
powerhouses in every sport on a
yearly basis.
Being a student athlete at Eastern High School is the ultimate
test of dependability day in and
day out.
Every game is a huge game
here. In fact just last year, five of
the top six teams for girls soccer
in our conference were best in
state. Every single day these kids
know they will be playing a great
team and have to bring everything they have on a consistent
basis, Smart said.
Though some may argue this is
the price large schools pay, Smart
would argue otherwise, and the
numbers back him up.
This formula has proven to be
a recipe for success over the past
decade. The Vikings have captured 14 state titles in just 10
years, and every senior class produces an abundance of collegiate
athletes who go on to succeed in
college because they are given the
tools necessary after competing
at such a high level for four years.

Like most organizations, there

has been some turnover over the
past decade but it has been remarkably minimal as many of
the successful coaches continue
to hold their position.
Im blessed to work with a lot
of future hall of fame coaches
who are thankfully not in the hall
of fame yet because they are still
here, Smart said.
Going into his 11th year as the
athletic director, Smart has been
the rock at the core of this steady
program throughout the past
decade, but he defers the credit to
his staff that originally helped
him find his way and have helped
Eastern stay in the thick of
things year in and year out.
Smart took over for Dr. James
Tallerico who assisted him in getting acclimated to the big show
when he first arrived along with
numerous coaches and athletic
trainer Casey Christy, who Smart
described as the best in the state
for her diligent work to ensure
each athlete is safe and able to
perform at the highest level.
Unfortunately, Smart recently
lost his secretary to retirement,
as she was his right-hand woman
since the day he began.
When I first started, I inherited a jewel of a secretary in Mrs.
Charlotte Clark, Smart said.
Smart took the job in 2005 because he wanted to take on the
challenge.
I left my previous position (at
Haddonfield Memorial High
School) because of the challenge
of going to a group 4 school. I
wanted to be a part of the excellence that is Eastern High School

academically and athletically. I

wanted to help mold the students, Smart said.
Smart takes the academic aspect just as seriously as the athletic aspect, as he prides himself
on the several SJ Scholar Athlete
of the Year awards his students
have won over his tenure.
Austyn Cuneo is the most recent, and Tommy Flacco, brother
of Super Bowl XLVII MVP Joe
Flacco, won the year before.
I think thats one thing thats
been really amazing. Our coaching staffs administer these values
and promote them to their teams,
and the athletes have taken that
to heart, Smart said.
Smart was once a Viking him-

self, as he is a graduate of the

Eastern class of 1985.
Alumni staying in touch and
coming back to help has been a
nice theme over the years.
In fact, former soccer and softball player Laura Stagliano is
now the head coach of the softball
team and former soccer player
Megan Bry now assistant coaches
the girls soccer team in the fall,
the girls basketball team in the
winter and the girls lacrosse team
in the spring.
One of the nice things about
our school is I am not the only
alumni that came back! Smart
said.
Smart has really taken the job
and run with it since he took over,

and he has described his experience thus far as wonderful as it

has impacted him greatly in his
growth as a person.
He employs the team concept
and ensures every student plays a
part in any success the school endures.
Seeing kids have success who
maybe have originally been struggling academically or kids who
question themselves on the field
be molded into athletes that can
contribute to teams is truly something, Smart said. Just watching kids persevere who maybe
arent the best athletes on the
team but they have a role in the
programs overall success no matter how small or how big.

Time to get your

flu shot
By Freeholder Carmen Rodiriguez
The change of seasons leaves many
people feeling under
the weather. But you
can avoid getting
sick by getting a flu
shot. The Camden
County Department
of
Health
and
Human Services recommends that everyone get vaccinated this flu season,
especially children and seniors who
are most vulnerable.
The Freeholder Board has scheduled 15 convenient site locations
across Camden County for the 2015
Seasonal Influenza Immunization
Program in order to keep your family healthy this season. We encourage you to take advantage of this
beneficial service provided at no out
of pocket expense.
Men and women age 65 and older
are among the high priority
groups for annual shots. Pregnant
women and chronically ill people
are other high priority groups. Flu
shots are also recommended for people with weakened immune or cardiovascular systems, or with
chronic metabolic diseases, renal
dysfunction or blood disorders.
Youngsters aged nine and older
must be accompanied by an adult.
Children under nine need two shots,
a month apart, and should be seen
by a pediatrician. For uninsured
children, call CamCare at (856) 5419811 or the Bellmawr Health Center
at (856) 931-2700.
According to the CDC, flu activity
most commonly peaks in the U.S. between December and February.
However, seasonal flu activity can
begin as early as October and continue to occur as late as May. People
should begin getting vaccinated
soon after the flu vaccine becomes
available, to ensure that as many
people as possible are protected be-

fore flu season begins.

The flu cannot only
create challenges at
home, but it can have
a negative effect on
the workplace crippling businesses and
suffocating production. The flu can
spread
quickly
through any office and infect several
employees through the simple act of
coughing. If you are a business
owner, you should also encourage
your employees to get vaccinated. It
literally pays to get a flu shot.
You can also protect yourself and
your family from getting sick by
practicing basic prevention measures. Remember to cover your nose
and mouth with a tissue when you
cough or sneeze, and dispose of the
tissue. You can also cough or sneeze
into the bend of your arm. Wash
your hands often with soap and
water, especially after you cough or
sneeze. Teach your children that the
adequate amount of time to wash
your hands is the time it takes to
sing Happy Birthday twice. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective. Always avoid touching your
eyes, nose or mouth, as germs
spread this way. Do your best to try
to avoid contact with individuals
who are sick.
For a complete list of flu shot locations, visit www.camdencounty.com.
For other information, contact the
Department of Health and Human
Services at (800) 999-9045.
If you have any other questions
about County services, please call
me at (856) 225-5575, or email me at
car menr@camdencounty.com.

Freeholders approve $25K open

space grants for Voorhees
The Camden County Freeholder Board has approved the recommendations of the Open Space
Preservation Trust Fund Advisory Committee to award the 2015
Recreation Facility Enhancement
Project Grants. The grants, funded through the Camden County
Open Space Preservation Trust
Fund, are presented to existing
publicly owned recreation facilities planning to expand their utilization for recreational purposes.
For Voorhees a $25,000 grant
was awarded to install naturebased playground equipment at
the Ashland Woods/Hall Park
complex. A $25,000 grant will go
toward improving vehicular access and handicap parking at

Stafford Woods, and $25,000 will

be used to resurface the tennis
and basketball courts at the
Round Hill, Lake Villa and Sheppard Road facilities.
These grants are an opportunity to build and enhance our
parks and playgrounds throughout the county. We know these
passive and active recreational offerings make Camden County a
special place to live and improve
our overall quality of life, said
Freeholder Jeffery L. Nash, liaison to the Open Space Preservation Trust Fund Advisory Committee.
This years applications represented a wide range of projects
throughout the county. We appre-

ciate the hard work and planning

that went into each request.
Each year, municipal organizations are invited to submit an application detailing the enhancements planned for their existing
recreation facilities for consideration by the advisory committee.
The requests for funding are limited to $25,000 per project, per
year.
The projects must be completed within a one-year period. The
Camden County Open Space
Preservation Trust Fund was created by the freeholder board in
1999 in response to overwhelming
voter support of an open space
referendum placed on the ballot
in November 1998.
