HMHS field hockey

team repeats
as sectional champs

Family fun

Bulldawgs capture second consecutive

title with a 3-1 win over Collingswood
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
For the first time since 2012,
the Haddonfield Memorial High
School field hockey team entered
this season as the defending sectional champions.
However, head coach Lindsay
Kocher didnt want her team
thinking about how good it was in
2015. She wanted it focused on trying to be good in 2016.
Every year is a new team, and
thats what we kind of focused on
at the beginning of the season,
Kocher said. We were fortunate
to make it far last year, but that
was last year.
The returning players heard
Kochers message loud and clear.
We knew we couldnt have the
mentality that we were the same
team as last year, senior Caroline Bickel said.
In focusing on the present, this
years Haddonfield field hockey
team was able to match the same
feat the 2015 team achieved. The
Bulldawgs defeated Colonial Con-

ference-rival Collingswood High
School, 3-1, last Thursday to win
their second consecutive Central
Jersey Group I championship and
20th overall in program history.
It feels better than last year,
senior captain Meghan Smart
said. All day today, we were getting pumped up, getting each
other hyped for the game. For
all of it to come together feels
great.
The Bulldawgs returned a sizable number of players from the
2015 championship team. However, Smart said this years title run
was tougher than Haddonfields
run last season.

At

honored with a speech from a special veteran.
Jane Elizabeth Betty Schopp,
one of the few remaining women
alive who served in the U.S. Naval
Reserve Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service, spoke
to the students about her time in
the military as a woman and helping to support the men of the war
from the United States.
It was a privilege to serve.
Knowing we would work together,
military and civilians hand-inhand, everyone was working toward that same goal at that time,
Schopp said.
Schopp grew up in Palmyra
and attended Palmyra High
School. She was high school

where Schopp was the female
lead, Edgar worked the spotlight

She graduated in 1943, and not

extends flu shot program
By Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez
Its not too late to
get your flu shot.
Getting vaccinated
can still provide
you with protection
against the most
common influenzas, and can reduce
the severity of others. According to
the CDC, reports
of flu illnesses are
beginning to be reported across the
country. If you have not been vaccinated yet this season, get your flu
shot now.

vantage of this beneficial service provided

by the Freeholder
Board to keep your
family healthy this flu
season. I cant stress
enough that the best
way to avoid getting
the flu is to get immunized. Children
should be seen by
a pediatrician. For
uninsured children, call CamCare
at (856) 541-9811 or the Camden
County Health Center in Bellmawr
at (856) 931-2700.

To make it more convenient for

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

In addition to getting vaccinated,

the CDC also recommends taking
every day preventative actions to

Even companies as large as American Express are touting the importance of shopping local. The company

that almost $6 billion is spent at small

More businesses equals more ratables, which, in turn, lowers our taxes.
The more ratables we have, and the

Our small businesses are already

We can make it a truly happy holiday season.

letter to the editor

Parent voices concern
with proposed school calendar
I'm writing to voice my concern about
the proposed 2017-2018 school calendar,
which takes away fall and spring full-week
breaks.
As a parent of two high school students,
one of whom will be a senior next year,
taking away those week-long breaks limits
the ability to make long-distance campus
visits while college students are on campus, which gives a better feel for the true
vibe of a campus. The last couple of years
my family has used breaks to visit far-away
campuses during session one break we
drove south to Duke, University of North
Carolina, Wake Forest, University of Virginia, etc.; one break we drove west to University of Chicago, Northwestern, Univer-

sity of Wisconsin, etc.

Creating a calendar that only allows for
a day or two off here and there throughout
the school year would make it extremely
hard to visit college campuses while students are on campus. You might say to
visit college campuses during the summer;
however, this does not allow for a real feel
of how the campus environment is when
students are present. You might say to take
my high school student out of school; however, when you have a high school student
taking AP and accelerated classes, who has
hours of homework and studying when
they get home each day, the idea of taking a
day off from school is ridiculous.
While I appreciate the thought that construction needs to be done during the summer and that it would be great to give the
construction crew an extra week or two to
complete the work, I do not think that the

students and parents who plan on these

breaks, whether for vacation or visiting
college campuses, should have to give up
their plans, especially considering that
construction could be scheduled and completed in a timely fashion. We all know that
construction crews are notorious for going
over whatever time is given to them for a
project. If managed properly with a timeline and extra workers, the repairs to the
schools should be able to be accomplished
during the regular summer break.

Great Kids, Going Places.

Local businesses team with three

Haddonfield elementary schools
to donate portion of sales to PTA
By BRIGIT BAUMA
The Sun
As the holiday season approaches, families and friends are
going to start thinking about
what gifts to give their loved ones.
The Haddonfield Parent Teacher
Associations are working with
local businesses to help get a
jump-start on the holiday season,
as well as raise funds for the local
schools.
The elementary school PTAs
are working together for the first
inaugural PTA Shopping Weekend benefiting Haddonfield elementary schools on Nov. 18 to 20.
Some local businesses have
teamed with the PTAs, having a
portion of sales donated to all
three elementary schools.
Its a week before Black Friday. I think people will start getting into the shopping mode. Its a
win-win for the stores and the
PTAs. It will bring people from
the community into the stores,
maybe some who normally
wouldnt go in there, and hopefully the stores will get some continuing customers that otherwise

would have not been, event coordinator Christine McDermott

said.
This event started with the
Tatem Elementary School PTA,
which wanted to come up with a
new fundraiser, as it is interested
in installing a new playground to
replace the old playground at the
school. That is when it came up
with the idea for a fundraiser to
include all of the elementary
school PTAs.
All of the PTAs were on board,
and McDermott, with a number
of parents, reached out to local
businesses asking for them to
participate. McDermott said
there are about 20 stores participating. Each store will donate
anywhere from 10 percent to 20
percent of sales with vouchers to
the PTAs to split. The zone PTA
will collect all of the funds and
split it among the elementary
schools PTAs.
Vouchers will be given to all of
the elementary school students,
and the PTA will also send emails
to families with the vouchers.

Haddonfield Memorial defeats Collingswood, 3-2

HADDONFIELD
Continued from page 1
I feel like this year we had to
overcome more obstacles as a
team mentally, Smart said. But
we were in that same mind that
we knew we could get to where we
were last year. We just had to
work for it.
Theres a little bit of a target
on your back (as defending champions), whereas last year we kind
of flew under the radar for the

majority of the season, Kocher

said. Of course, everyone the following year is going to be gunning for you.
One of those teams gunning for
Haddonfield was Collingswood.
The Panthers had won the Central
Jersey Group I title in 2013 and
2014 and was a force again this
year. The Bulldawgs and Panthers
split the regular season series.
Haddonfield won the first meeting
in
September,
3-2,
and
Collingswood returned the favor
with a 2-1 win on Oct. 21.
Kocher said the team didnt

make any tactical adjustments

following the loss, instead focusing on minimizing the mistakes
the team made in the game.
We didnt change anything up
other than focusing on the details, Kocher said. The little
things that can add up and hurt
us.
We just changed our mindset, Smart said. We worked as a
team better. We needed to be unselfish, get that extra pass and
just play together as a team.
In the third meeting with
Collingswood in last weeks

championship,
Haddonfield
stormed out of the gate with a
flurry of shots, four penalty corners in the games first four minutes and two goals in the games
first
15
minutes.
Before
Collingswood could get a shot on
goal, Haddonfield had already
built a 2-0 lead it would not relinquish.
Coming out, scoring right
away and putting Collingswood
on their heels was a big part of
the mentality for us, Smart said.
We knew if we came out hard
and scored a goal, we could keep

that vibe going.

The Bulldawgs hope to have additional success at the state level
as they compete in the NJSIAA
Group I semifinals on Wednesday.
Last year, Haddonfield lost in the
NJSIAA Group I championship
game to Shore Regional High
School, 3-0.
This year, the Bulldawgs dont
just want to get back to the state
title game. They want to win the
programs first state championship in 25 years.
I think we keep our mindset,
we can do anything, Bickel said.

Markeim Merica exhibit underway

Every fall, Markeim Arts Center has a fall invitational exhibit
open to regional artists. This
year, the theme for the exhibition
is "Merica." The work entered is
diverse and eclectic.
Markeim Art Center's call-forentries simply asked for artwork
of all types that celebrates what
makes our country great, unique
or quintessentially American.
Merica is a whole new way of
saying America. Some use the
term to humorously describe
Americans doing things only
Americans can do, such as trimming a hedge with a chainsaw.
Some use the word to sum up the
country with a stereotypical, oneword retort. While others use it
when feeling a deep sense of

pride in our country, as when

looking over the Grand Canyon,
or during deeply emotional and
patriotic July 4th celebrations.
During this very unique election year, it seemed appropriate to
have a political cartoonist be the
juror of Markeims MERICA
exhibition. MAC is honored to
have Tom Stiglich as its juror.
Stiglichs nationally syndicated
cartoons have appeared in the
USA Today, The New York Times,
The
Philadelphia
Inquirer,
Philadelphia Daily News, The
Washington Post, Newsweek,
Newsweek Japan, TIME magazine, Chicago Sun-Times, The Los
Angeles Times, Mad Kids magazine, The Austin American Statesman, CNN and in the annual book

series Best Editorial Cartoons of

the Year.
In addition to Stiglich's illustrations, the work of award-winning editorial artist Steve Breen,
and nationally syndicated editorial/political artist Jimmy Margulies will also be in the show.
The show runs through Sunday, Nov. 26.
As an interesting counterpoint
and supplement to the work on
the walls, some historical political
memorabilia, including some depicting Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, will also be on display.
These items come from the private collection of Joseph Murphy,
some dating back to the 1800s.

obituarIES
Thomas J. Rybicki
Oct. 30, 2016
Thomas Tommie J. Rybicki,
a longtime resident of Haddonfield, passed away on Oct. 30 at
the age of 53.
He was the
husband of the
late Maria T.
(nee Piccillo);
beloved son of
Beatrice (nee
Scimeca) and
the late John;
loving brother
of
Michael
RYBICKI
(Janice), John
Jr. (Josephine),
Joseph (Anne) and Idamarie
Gagliardi (Frankie); and dear
uncle of many nieces, nephews,
great nieces, great nephews and
his family on Colonial Avenue. He
is also survived by his faithful
companion, Coco.
Tommie was born and raised
in South Philadelphia. He was the
youngest of five children. He attended St. Nicholas of Tolentine
School and graduated Bishop
Neumann in 1981. Tommie had a
great disposition and a huge
heart. Growing up, Tommie had a
passion for music and loved to
play the drums. He and his
cousin, Frankie Scimeca, played
in a popular Philadelphia nightclub band in the 80s.
Tommie married the love of
his life and settled down in Haddonfield. Tommie and Maria wel-

comed their neighbors as family.

As if an adopted aunt and uncle,
they proudly watched the neighborhood children grow from infants to adults. He loved to have
fun with his nieces, nephews and
neighborhood kids. Tommie especially loved leading his neighborhood juvenile (and adults) "Boo
Crew" out on Mischief Night
raids of his friends' homes. Tommie was the owner of Tomari,
Inc. He and Maria started this as
a tiny garage business and, together, skillfully grew it into the
largest retail automobile detailer
in the Delaware Valley. Tommie
was also a proud member of Tavistock Country Club.
Tommie loved life and especially loved people. He was always
happiest when he was with his
family and friends. He could sit
for hours and talk with anyone.
He never spared you of his opinion. His friends frequently sought
him out for his sound advice.
When not talking, he loved to
competein anything. He loved
playing tennis, volleyball and
horseshoes with his neighbors.
After he became ill, he redirected
that energy to become an accomplished poker player.
Tommie was diagnosed with
colon cancer in 2007. Tommie was
very private and did not let many
know that he was ill. He put on a
brave face and fought this battle
with dignity and bravery. He always said, I make cancer look
good. He had many challenges

(* !

over the past nine years. Every

challenge was met with determination and optimism. His
courage and strength were an inspiration to all who knew him.
Tommies caring, love and generosity will live on forever.
Tommies family received
friends on Friday, Nov. 4 at KainMurphy Funeral Services, 15
West End Ave. All were invited to
his Mass of Christian Burial,
which followed at Christ the King
RC Church, 200 Windsor Ave. in
Haddonfield.

tional military personnel. From

the very beginning, the WAVES
were an official part of the Navy,
and its members held the same
rank and ratings as male personnel, also receiving the same pay
and being subject to military discipline. At the end of WWII, there
were well more than 8,000 female
officers and some 10 times that
many enlisted in WAVES. However, that made up for only 2 percent
of the military at the time.
When Schopp expressed interest in enlisting, Edgar, who was
in the Army working on roads in
the Middle East as an engineer,
told her he would not marry her
if she enlisted; despite this
Schopp signed up for duty in December 1943 and started active
duty in January 1944.
At that time, there was war in
Germany. When I got out of high
school, I thought the best thing I
could do to serve God and my
country was go into the military,
which I did, Schopp said.
Schopp was sent to Hunter College Campus, the U.S. Naval
Training Center, Women's Re-

serve in The Bronx, N.Y., and

Milledgeville, Ga., to learn military training, the parts of a plane
and other expected duties.
I thought we would never
learn (the parts of the plane), but
we did. At one point, I knew all of
the parts, Schopp said. We had
to know the parts to know what to
give the mechanics or else there
could be an accident.
Schopp graduated as storekeeper third class and was assigned to the Mercer Naval Air
Station in Trenton. She handled
underground storage tanks and
handing out and taking inventory
of airplane parts, as well as unloading trucks. She earned the
title of storekeeper second class
and worked at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard and Long Island Electronics
Center.
During the 18 months Schopp
served, she said there was only
one accident, which only resulted
in a reporter on a plane getting a
broken arm.
While the military wasnt all
fun, as Schopp said she
marched, and marched and
marched, she had a wonderful
time, having the opportunity to
hitchhike on planes for free,
sing in a glee club trio entertaining the troops in Fort Dix, and get

free tickets to shows in New York.

On Nov. 28, 1945, Edgar returned to the United States and,
despite what he had said previously, married Schopp only a few
days later on Dec. 16. Schopp left
the military in January 1946.
Schopp received an American
Theater Campaign Ribbon, Good
Conduct Medal, WWII Victory
Medal and Sharpshooter during
her time serving.
The Schopps settled in Haddon
Township and had three children,
Lois, David and Paul, who all
went to Haddonfield Friends
School. Schopp went back to
school to earn a bachelors and
masters degree in education and
worked as a speech therapist for
16 years before she got macular
degeneration, making her legally
blind.
However, she said that doesnt
hold her back. Now in her 90s, she
is as busy as ever, giving speeches
about her time in the WAVES all
over South Jersey.
I feel like Im in my 50s. I always try to be busy and I am,
Schopp said.
Schopp hopes the children really learn what WWII was all about
and have respect for the veterans
and military members who serve
today.
I want them to know that this
country was always a great country, and it was an honor to serve it
and help reach the goal of winning the war, Betty said.
The HMS Veterans Day Program is held each year to honor
veterans and active military
members and educate students
by having veterans come to speak
to students about Veterans Day
and share their experiences in
the military.

NOV. 9-15, 2016 THE HADDONFIELD SUN 21

Celebration Nights bring schools together Nov. 15-17

CELEBRATION
Continued from page 3
One School, One Book, from
the nonprofit Read to Them, is a
program that encourages reading
together at home and bringing together children of all grade levels
by reading the same book. According to Read to Them, a growing body of research describes
the complex and permanent effects of reading aloud. Children
who are read to learn to read
more easily and become better
readers. Literacy skills provide
the basis for a lifetime of learning and productivity.
Reading aloud at home helps
students to be effective readers,
and not only builds a community
within our schools, but in the
home, Elizabeth Haddon Principal Gerry Bissinger said.
The Haddonfield elementary
schools wanted to use the pro-

gram to bring the children, as

well as families, together to build
a community of leaders for literacy and a bigger community in
general.
This was a way to build community throughout the elementary schools and to also have a
focus on literacy and the importance of literacy, Tatem Principal Karen Schultz said.
The initiative started after a
Sept. 27 community meeting
where One School, One Book was
introduced at each school and a
guest reader came in costume to
read the beginning of Kenny
and the Dragon to students.
Then the students were sent off
with a book and a reading schedule for each family with a goal to
read three or four chapters a
week aloud and complete the
book by Oct. 25. Every member of
the school staffs from teachers
to maintenance workers to secretaries received a copy as well.
For families who could not read

aloud, for whatever reason, a

Vimeo channel was made for students to listen to different staff
read a chapter of the book. The
Vimeo channel can be found at
vimeo.com/channels/osob.
In Kenny and the Dragon,
the main character Kenny Rabbit
is a bookish, somewhat lonely
bunny who lives in the village of
Roundbrook. Kenny is thrilled to
learn that a dragon, Grahame,
has come to live on the hill behind
his mom and dad's farm. Kenny
and his parents soon learn that
Grahame is that rarity among
dragons, a gentle and cultured fellow.
At school one day, Kenny accidentally lets slip the fact that he
has seen a dragon. As the villagers learn of the dragon's presence, their panic and fear
spreads, putting Kenny's new
friend in grave danger. Kenny's
other best friend, George, a retired knight and dragonslayer,
has been ordered by the king to

exterminate Grahame. Kenny is

desperate to keep his two friends
from fighting and perhaps killing
each other, but no one will listen
to him in the frenzy leading up to
the battle. Kenny must find a way
to persuade Grahame and George
to be friends and not fight.
During morning meeting or literacy time, the chapters read that
week were discussed. Classes
learned a new vocabulary word
from each chapter, answered a
comprehension question and did
a suggested activity. However,
there was no homework, test or
report required by the initiative.
It is just to get students reading,
learning and talking.
Our kids really liked the book,
and we feel like every family really embraced this venture I
think that really helped our classrooms come together. Students in
each classroom were all following
up in the mornings from the
chapter they read and getting this
common experience, Simkus

said. As we have kids ages 3 to 12,

(this initiative) helped to bridge
the gap between our youngest and
oldest students.
As a celebration for completing
the book, as well as to help foster
a larger community, the schools
are hosting One School, One Book
Celebration Nights. The nights
are split based on last names alphabetically, so that all grade levels and all schools will come together. The night will feature fun
activities with a classical theme,
such as a taste of Grahame the
dragons favorite dessert and
demonstrations of lively action
from the book.
As it was such a success, the elementary schools plan to take it
up again next year and hopefully
for many years to come.

Sound Wave Treatments for Fibromyalgia

Do You Believe In Miracles? I Do!
My name is Cindy Doolittle, and I
am here to tell my story of a unique office and treatment which CHANGED
MY LIFE after many years of suffering
with the chronic pain of Fibromyalgia
(FMS). I developed Fibromyalgia following a fall and subsequent injury.
Like many FMS sufferers I developed
headaches, fatigue, and irritable bowel
syndrome (IBS), morning stiffness, depression and sleep disturbances. This
condition strikes and estimated three
to six million Americans a year, more
than 85 percent of whom are women.

Before I fell, I owned two businesses,

exercised every day and had never experienced depression. With the onset
of Fibromyalgia, my life changed dramatically. It was a daily struggle to get
out of bed, walk, and to participate in
my activities with my family. I went
to numerous doctors, who prescribed
a variety of medications, tried biofeedback, pain management programs,
and every alternative treatment that

came my way. The years continued to

drain me of my will to live and I became more isolated from my husband
and two daughters.
Occasionally, I would talk with
other Fibromyalgia patients and was
surprised at how widespread the syndrome was and how many people,
once energetic and productive in their
lives, were now disabled. It was my intention to communicate with as many
people with FMS as possible, hoping
that one day someone would give me
the answer.
Unexpectedly, it occurred early one
morning, when after another sleepless
night, I decided to call Virgin Atlantic Airways to inquire about flights to
London. Of course, making that long
of a trip was physically impossible for
me, in spite of dreams of travelling
again. A friendly airline representative greeted me and asked me what
dates I planned on traveling. I sadly
explained to her how difficult it was
for me to travel due to the pain I was
in. As I explained to her the details of
my condition, she listened patiently
and unexpectedly replied, You need
to see a doctor like mine, who treated
me for what was once diagnosed as
lupus, and guess what! I no longer
have it! The impact of her statement
astounded me, as it was now my turn
to listen. She explained how she had
gone to a Chiropractor who specialized in Percussion Sound Wave Spinal
Adjusting, a branch in Chiropractic
called Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic.
I was then referred doctors in South
Jersey, who are trained and certified to
perform this treatment. Dr. John Sandoz and Dr. Joshua Sandoz, of Sandoz
Chiropractic Center in Mount Laurel,
NJ. I called the office to inquire about
the treatment, at which time, I was
told of the success they had in treating
Fibromyalgia. The doctors asked me
to give them 30 days to experience

a 50 percent improvement in my condition for me to continue under their

care. I was encouraged and thought
that was reasonable, and immediately
replied, Give me 10 percent relief and
I will be there tomorrow!
I assumed that fate had worked its
magic. That I was meant to call the airlines that morning in hopes of taking a
long trip and travel to London. Instead
I was now willing to take a 1 hour trip
to see Dr. Sandoz. I was at the office
the next day, giving them my extensive
medical history. At the conclusion of
my consultation, I received three xrays of my head and neck to determine
if my atlas (the first bone in the top of
your neck that supports the weight of
your head) was properly aligned and
centered over the rest of the spinal column. My x-rays were then viewed and
analyzed mathematically, to precisely
locate the nature of my atlas misalignment (subluxation), and how it was to
be carefully put back into place with a
percussion sound wave treatment!
While lying on my side, the doctor used a percussion stylus, which
sends a painless mechanical vibration
to the specified area of the atlas vertebrae. The treatment took seconds after
extensive analysis of my x-rays, gently
and accurately realigning the position
of my spine without forceful manipu-

lation, which I had received in the past.

Within minutes of the adjustment, post
x-rays of my spine were taken, and to
my amazement, revealed my atlas to
be perfectly level. For the first time in
years, I could grasp the steering wheel
of my car without my fingers cramping. I wasnt sure if I was imagining
things with the hope of another new
treatment, but when Dr. Sandoz called
me that evening after my first adjustment, and explained to me that my
x-rays revealed the treatment successfully realigned my atlas and the rest of
my spine. I was excited and confident
that the relief I was experiencing was
not and accident and it was for real.

I cant believe it, all of the

cramping in my legs disappeared,
and the pink color from
increased blood flow returned
to my formerly colorless toes.
Miraculously, each day I
improved and by the end of one
week, I was able to resume my
early morning walks.

Needless to say, my husband and

daughters have now been to Dr.
Sandoz, and countless other patients,
willing to travel any distance to receive
this treatment. My daughter also
suffered years with migraine headaches
and with chronic insomnia. She too
responded effectively to the treatment
at Dr. Sandoz office, and has a healthy
back and now sleeps without medicine.
For those of you who have suffered
with chronic pain for years, and are
frustrated, and have given up hope to
ever feel well again. I encourage you
to contact Dr. John Sandoz and Dr.
Joshua Sandoz at Sandoz Chiropractic
Center, 2057 Briggs Rd. Suite 204
Mount Laurel, NJ 08054. The phone
number is 856-206-9560. x
