Mt. Laurel, NJ – On April 28 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., the YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties is celebrating Healthy Kids Day® with a free community event. The event for children and families of all ages will be held at the
Mt. Laurel Y, located at 59 Centerton Road. More than 1,900 Ys across the country are taking part in the celebration, meant to kick start physical activity and learning throughout the summer – a critical out-of-school time for kids.

Healthy Kids Day, a national initiative of the Y to improve the health and well-being of kids, is filled with fun, active play and educational activities that will help parents improve their kids’ lifestyles for the long term. Research shows that without access to activities that stimulate the mind and body, kids are more prone to gain weight and fall behind academically over the summer months.

“At the YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties, we know that when the school year ends, many kids lose exposure to activities that keep them moving and learning. Healthy Kids Day will help parents begin thinking early about what their kids need to stay physically and intellectually active in the summer,” said Tim Kerrihard, President and CEO, YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties. “Summer is just around the corner and is an ideal time for kids to get out and grow so they are healthier and sharper when the next school year begins.”

The spring festival highlights the wide array of wellness activities and youth sports available to children and families at the Y and features interactive games, class demonstrations, live entertainment by DJ Lilly along with healthy food and refreshments.

Additional attractions include arts and crafts, family swim, a Zumba-thon, a New Jersey National Guard Helicopter Landing, exhibits from local police, EMS and fire departments.

In conjunction with Healthy Kids Day, those who join the Y between April 16 and 29 can take advantage of the Y’s Waive the Joiner fee special and save up to $150. On Health Kids Day ONLY, those who register and pay in full for three weeks or more of Day Camp will receive either a Free Y Program Membership or $50 off camp for current members.

The event will take place rain or shine. For more information, contact Pam Hall at 856.234.6200 x232 or pamh@ymca-bc.org, or visit http://www.ymca-bc.org.

njnews4you — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:09:52 +0000

Build Jake’s Place, the local non-profit that recently opened Camden County’s first “Boundless” Playground, will sponsor a free benefit car cruise at Cherry Hill’s Silver Diner on Saturday, April 28th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The rain-or-shine event, open to all auto makes, models and years, is expected to draw classic cars, muscle cars and seldom-seen autos of every type. Holman Automotive, South Jersey’s premier car dealerships, is a major sponsor of the Spring Car Cruise and will be exhibiting its rare 1926 Ford Model T.

Members of local classic car clubs who have long-supported Build Jake’s Place have indicated they will bring their unique cars, and the Ankokas Car Club of South Jersey will lend its support and members to organize the day. There is no charge to bring a car.

Radio Station WOGL will show its own classic Ford Mustang and custom Chevy Tahoe, plus offer music, prizes and surprises. The Silver Diner, longtime sponsor of Build Jake’s Place events, will donate a portion of its food profits to Build Jake’s Place during the cruise. Basket auctions, door prizes and commemorative T-shirts will be available. Car owners will compete for 20 unique awards, plus trophies for “Best in Class” and “Best in Show.”

Build Jake’s Place’s Board Chair Joe Nasto, of Pennsauken, recently announced the organization’s next effort, a “Miracle Field” in Cherry Hill. According to Nasto, this special field, built adjacent to the state-of-the-art playground recently opened by the organization at Challenge Grove in Cherry Hill, will be designed so children with disabilities can “buddy” with children to play baseball and softball. Like the playground, the Miracle Field will be built with the support and generosity of the people of Camden County and the cooperation of the Camden County Freeholders and Parks Department.

Build Jake’s Place is dedicated to building “Playgrounds for Everybody®" – playgrounds and play opportunities where both abled and disabled children can play. Its playground offers special capabilities and features for children with disabilities, while allowing every child a fun play experience. It serves more than 12,000 disabled Camden County children and is used by children and adults throughout the Delaware Valley.
Build Jake’s Place is affiliated with the Miracle League, a national organization dedicated to building leagues and fields where children of every ability can play ball together. For more information on Build Jake’s Place, visit http://www.buildjakesplace.org or call 856-662-4418.

Build Jake’s Place was inspired by 2 ½ year old Jacob Myles Cummings Nasto, who died from complications after his fourth open heart surgery. Jake was treated at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He had a rare condition - literally half a heart. Jake visited playgrounds as part of his physical therapy but was often unable to use the apparatus. The Board of Build Jake’s Place and his parents, Kathleen Cummings and Joseph Nasto, of Pennsauken, sought public and private funding to “Build Jake’s Place.” Build Jake’s Place is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

New Jersey School of Music: Music Education Facts

New Jersey School Of Music — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:24:20 +0000

Music Education Fact # 1

Music majors are the most likely group of college grads to be admitted to medical school. Physician and biologist Lewis Thomas studied the undergraduate majors of medical school applicants. He found that 66 percent of music majors who applied to med school were admitted, the highest percentage of any group. For comparison, (44 percent) of biochemistry majors were admitted. Also, a study of 7,500 university students revealed that music majors scored the highest reading scores among all majors including English, biology, chemistry and math.

Ford — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 21:03:58 +0000

Yesterday, Rocks and Lawrence received the endorsement of the Courier Post in an overwhelming sense that shows Rocks and Lawrence have what is needed for the Camden County. Rocks and Lawrence have been picking up endorsements from all over the place including the IAFF, Police and many more still coming in…

“We’re endorsing Republicans Joshua Rocks and Eugene Lawrence over Democratic incumbents Louis Cappelli and Scot McCray for seats on the freeholder board because the board needs different perspectives from a member or members who will raise the tough questions — in public, not behind closed doors — and see that they’re answered.

These two Republicans, especially Rocks, a 31-year-old transportation planner with the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission who grew up in Camden and now lives in Haddon Township, possess all of the qualities voters should want in candidates — intelligence, passion and the determination to ask why things are the way they are.”

Thank you Courier Post

Over this election cycle we have listened while Mr. Cahn has tried to sell us on his business abilities. Little did he tell us that his money came from the people of Cherry Hill and Camden County. While owning Stewart Industries Mr. Cahn secured lucrative contracts from variouse government entities which include Cherry Hill Township and Camden County Freeholder Board. Mr. Cahn should show full disclosure to the People of Cherry Hill as to where he made his millions. Stay Tuned for tomorrow for more information about the truth of Cahn.

How Do You De-Stress?

rosepaynechhc — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 01:59:31 +0000

How Do You De-Stress?

Now that the children are back at school and Summer is over, most parents begin to get back into
the swing of things. Routines return, bedtimes are reestablished and it's nice to sit and enjoy the quiet time of having the children at school for the day. Quiet time is so great for de-stressing and relaxing. So we're asking all Cherry Hill

residentsk, "What do you do to de-stress?"

Often we look forward to September because it's the beginning of a new school year and many
parents are ready for a much needed break. With the children back to the books, Fall is the perfect time for parents to begin an exercise or yoga practice.

By taking a mere 20 to 30 minutes most days of the week you can dramatically change the way your
body handles stress. Some great options to get back into the routine of de-stressing and re-energizing
are the following:

* Simple stretch routine for 20 minutes before work
* Walk for 15 minutes on your work breaks
* Take a 30 minute walk after dinner with your spouse
* Enroll at a yoga class once or twice per week

These are just a few ideas. We encourage all of our Cherry Hill readers to

take action this Fall and get involved in an activity that you can enjoy

completely.
It also helps to have a buddy join you so go ahead and ask your friends or family

to go along with you!

Let us know what you decide to do.

How Important is a Good Night’s Sleep

rosepaynechhc — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 14:00:55 +0000

How Important is a Good Night's Sleep?

Most people don't understand the importance of a good night's sleep. Today's blog post was created

for all of our readers, especially our Cherry Hill readers, so that you can start benefitting from one

of the simplest things: sleep!

We all know how important sleep is but did you know that sleep helps to regulate our entire body

and helps to balance systems that regulate metabolism. Sleep is so important that without proper

sleep some people can even begin to gain weight!

And for others, getting proper sleep allows for easier and quicker weight loss.

Here are a few simple suggestions to get a good night's sleep.

1- Determine how tired you truly are. On a scale of 1 to 10 assess your tiredness.

2- Next determine how much sleep you really think you need to feel refreshed and renewed.

3- Prepare yourself for sleep. When we are overtimed it is hard to wind down. This is
     when preparing yourself for sleep can be very beneficial. Taking a hot shower or
     soaking in a hot bath with lavender or epsom salts can help to sooth and relax your
      mind and body.

4- Create the space for your much needed sleep. For a more detailed explanation
simply visit this SITE where you learn what to do when you can't sleep along with
other great ideas to help you get the sleep your body needs.

There you go Cherry Hill! Simple tips that will help you get back on track to

better sleeping and more natural weight loss!

Join Us for Breakfast Cherry Hill!

rosepaynechhc — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 01:25:31 +0000

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Yet some find it impossible to fit it into their morning routine and others are filling up on what amounts to a glycemic nightmare. Instant oatmeal, bagels and breakfast sandwiches will set you up for a day of unhealthy food choices and an overall cranky mood for the rest of the day.

The breakfast recipes taught in this class can either be made in advance or cook unattended while you shower or check email.

On the Menu and waiting for all of our Cherry Hill neighbors and friends:
Buttery Pancake Squash
Breakfast Scramble and Sausage
Overnight Oats
Tropical Sunrise
White and Herbal Teas

Please be our guest...
We would love to have you in attendance at our next cooking class.

Horton joins Richardson for Assembly

Ford — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 21:40:40 +0000

Horton Named to Run for New Jersey’s 6^th Legislative District

Gregory Horton of Haddonfield has joined the race for State Assembly in New Jersey’s 6th Legislative District. At a meeting on Monday, August 22th, the Legislative District Committee voted unanimously to add Horton. Horton joins a ticket comprised of Allan Richardson of Collingswood, also running for the Assembly, and Phil Mitsch of Merchantville, running for Senate, in what CCGOP Chairman Tom Booth said, “is sure to be a very great year for Republicans.”

Horton is a lifelong resident of New Jersey and a third generation educator; he has worked as Athletic Director at since 2000. Horton and his wife, Kim, have three children. Motivated by the poor economy, rising taxes, and concern over the lack of local job opportunities for local residents, Horton is determined to bring his energy and vision to Trenton.

Chairman Booth of CCGOP had this to say, “The people in Southern New Jersey and around the State are in need of legislators who offer solutions. They want quality leaders who will lead with their conscience not with their wallets. The People of the Sixth Legislative District deserve better leadership than what they currently have,” said Booth. “Greg Horton is a straight-talking guy who connects with people from all walks of life because he is a man who understands what people are going through and speaks from the heart. Greg, Al and Phil are ready to win this race. Horton brings with him a true understanding of the issues that challenge our State.”

The following towns are now a part of the Sixth Legislative District: Berlin Township, Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Gibbsboro, Haddonfield, Haddon Township, Hi-Nella, Maple Shade, Merchantville, Oaklyn, Pennsauken, Somerdale, Stratford, Tavistock, and Voorhees.

The responsibilities of school shopping, school lunches, sleep times and morning routines are enough to put even the most organized parent over the edge.

2- Drink plenty of water and nourish yourself with fresh whole foods. Be sure to avoid fast foods with your added responsibilities since this will contribute to your anxiety and stress.

3- Ask for support. One of the best ways to manage everything is to speak up and ask for what you need.

4- Celebrate your accomplishments, especially after you get the kids on the bus and safely to their destination. Then you will benefit from taking a much needed break.

Affirmations and Your Health

rosepaynechhc — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:55:41 +0000

Hello Cherry Hill Readers! I'm happy to be sharing with you how affirmations can help with some common health challenges.

You may have heard about how changing your mind holds the power to change your health and subsequently your life. Today's post is about how this process takes place and how you can use it to ease back pain and hypertension.

An affirmation is a positive statement that is designed to deal with a specific issue. So for example, let's say you are struggling with back pain. According to Louise Hay, when you use these affirmations, you will be transforming the root cause of your discomfort thereby helping to ease your pain and transform you health and your life.

Here's the affirmation for low back pain:

"I trust the process of life. All I need is always taken care of."

Here's an affirmation for upper back pain:

"I love and approve of myself. Life supports and loves me."

Try this one for hypertension:

"I joyously release the past. I am at peace."

Now I realize these might seem a little "pie in the sky" but when you use these on a daily basis you will experience less distress if you are able to connect what you are saying with how you are feeling. Just saying the words might help some, but allowing your body to feel the release or the trusting or the approval is the key to transforming health and releasing the pain that might be limiting you.

So for our Cherry Hill readers and others who struggle with back pain or hypertension, try one of these affirmations. Then let us know your results. We love hearing from you!

When Is A Good Time To Start Music Lessons?

New Jersey School Of Music — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 19:58:30 +0000

How Early Can I Start Music Lessons for my son or daughter?
As a music teacher, I hear this question quite often. I usually answer with a series of other questions. Yea, I know that’s not what you want to hear, but it’s not as easy as just choosing an arbitrary age at which to start every child on every instrument. There are several factors at play in deciding when to start a young one in formal music studies. Different instruments are best started at different ages. In addition, specific issues with individual children should be considered.

One thing that everyone is in agreement with is that music exposure and study has a very positive effect on the growth and development of young children. It has been shown that young children who have benefited from early musical training obtain higher than average scores in math and reading and form a valuable foundation for continued learning in these and other subjects. So then, when and how do we best start our children on this musical path?
First let me say that it is never too early to expose your child to the enjoyment of music. In fact if you would like your child to be involved with music lessons from an early age there is no better time to start than day one. Sing with them, dance with them, make up songs together and have a great time with music as part of your daily life. This will help generate future interest in music and help create the frame work for a life time appreciation of music. As they get older expose your children to live performance as well. Take them to local neighborhood performances as well as concerts and theatre performances. Those who come to know music in this way, quite often have an interest in music that lasts their entire life. All of these things help your child create a smooth and enjoyable path into formal music lessons.

Now as far as formal music lessons are concerned it should be noted that the time to start is not a one size fits all kind of thing. There are several factors to consider when deciding when to start music lessons and what instrument to start on. Every child is different but the answers to a few simple questions will give you the information that you need to make a well informed decision.
1) What kind of interest is your son or daughter showing toward the idea of music lessons?

Do they keep bringing the subject up on their own, asking for lessons? Do they spend a lot of time singing their favorite songs or making up their own songs? Do they pretend to have little concerts in the house? Or can they take it or leave it? Is music something that they do not seem to be interested in or even notice at all? If they are showing some kind of a sustained interest in music then it is a safe bet that they are ready to take on some sort of formal music instruction.
       2) What is their attention span like? I think that the attention span is one of the most important aspects in determining readiness to study music. Does your son or daughter have the ability to focus on a subject continually for a 20 to 30 minute period? One rule of thumb is that the child should be able to focus and concentrate for a period of time equal to the length of the lesson. In most cases for beginners this will be a half hour. For some of the younger children some teachers may offer a 20 minute lesson. Teachers who are used to teaching small children do a good job at keeping things exciting and moving along in the lessons. Don’t be afraid to ask your child’s perspective teacher how they structure their lessons for the younger children.
      3) How involved in the music lessons do you as a parent want to be? Developing good practice skills takes time and developing the self discipline necessary to sustain independent practice is something that comes with maturity and practice. It is not something that you can expect out of a 3 or even 5 year old (though there are exceptions). Still, you can expect that the younger the child is the more time the parent will need to spend working with them to help reinforce the lessons and develop good learning and practice skills. The up side of this is that it can be a really wonderful thing. It can provide a fabulous opportunity for parents to interact with their children all the while having a great time together with music. If however, for one reason or another, you are not able to spend regularly scheduled time working with your child on music lessons there is still nothing wrong with having them start music lessons at an early age, they can still get a great deal out of music lessons, you will just have to adjust your expectations accordingly. In other words their formal progress at these early ages is somewhat proportional to the amount of time that an adult has to work with them on a daily basis.
     4) What instrument do they wish to play, or do you wish to start them on? The instrument itself will have something to do with how early you can start your child with music lessons. The piano and violin have the distinction of being the instruments that can be started at the earliest ages. The piano is laid out very clearly, does not take great strength, you don’t have to hold it up or have a big breath to be able to play it. The violin comes in fractional sizes for small hands and is light enough for little ones to hold. For this reason piano or violin lessons are some of the first lessons taught to small children. Instruments like the guitar and bass require more hand strength to play than the piano or violin. Therefore it is generally accepted practice to wait until the perspective student is 7 or 8 years old to start on one of those instruments. For similar reason regarding the breath and size, the horn instruments have a similar starting age. But again 7 or 8 years of age is not carved in stone. If you have a 5 or 6 year old with strong hands and a big desire to play then I would suggest finding a way to give it a try for a short trial period to see how it goes and then take it from there. Another consideration is that many instruments do not come in child sizes and are physically too much for a small child to handle. At about the age of 8 or 10, most children become big enough to begin playing most instruments. If you have been waiting to start your child on trumpet, clarinet, or trombone, for example, this would be a good time to start. It should also be noted that most school band and string programs begin at about this age as well.

So in brief, the age at which children are ready to start music lessons is based on several different factors: their Interest, their attention span, their general size/strength and your potential involvement. With an understanding of these things as applied to your child I’m sure you will be able to determine when it is best to begin music lessons. I wish you the best of luck and enjoyment in your musical journeys together. If you have farther questions just give us a call.

Stay Hydrated by Eating the Right Foods

Did you know that you can stay hydrated simply by eating the right foods? This post is for all of our Cherry Hill residents who want to cool down without having to over consume water!

Because water is one of the most important nutrients, it's worth taking a look at how you can increase your daily intake by eating the right foods.

Consuming raw foods such as lettuce, cucumbers, fresh fruits and especially watermelon all add to your daily water intake. Watermelon is approximately 94% water (thus the name "water" melon)making it a super hydrating food choice.

And when you're looking to cool down from the summer heat waves, try placing your fruit in the freezer. Grapes and cherries make yummy treats instead of other less nutritious food choices.

So the next time you're thirsty Cherry Hill, try a slice of juicy watermelon. It's simple to stay hydrated when you eat the right foods!

New Jersey Wind Power Available to Utility Customers

Lori Braunstein — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 02:47:16 +0000

New Jersey is not usually the place that comes to mind when most people think of renewable energy. With the country’s greatest wind potential located in the mountains, Great Plains or on the Pacific coast, the Garden State may seem an unlikely place for a wind turbine. But the Jersey-Atlantic wind farm, the first and only of its kind in the entire state, has proven that viable renewable energy projects can be successfully realized on the eastern seaboard. Located along the back bays of Atlantic City and becoming operational in 2005, the Jersey-Atlantic site was developed under a joint collaboration between the renewable-energy marketing firm Community Energy, Inc., locally-based in Radnor, PA, and the Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA).

The wind farm includes five towering, 380-foot turbines located at ACUA’s wastewater treatment facility, and are so tall that they are easily seen by motorists along the Atlantic City Expressway. You can even view a fascinating real-time analysis of the energy being produced by the site, which also includes a photovoltaic solar array to supplement the wind turbines. Jersey-Atlantic generates enough electricity for an estimated 2500 homes annually, some of which is used on-site by the wastewater plant, with the rest being fed into the local power grid.

Fortunately, residential electric utility customers throughout New Jersey are able to purchase wind power from the Jersey-Atlantic facility, thanks to the CleanPower Choice Program from the state’s Board of Public Utilities. The BPU requires that all New Jersey electric utilities offer their customers the option of purchasing renewable energy from a third party, while payment is made right on their regular monthly power bill. PSE&G and other electric utilities make no money through this arrangement, as it is designed simply to help facilitate the purchase of renewable energy by conveniently linking customers with third-party energy providers.

To get started, simply go to Community Energy’s website sign-up page to initiate enrollment in the program (have a recent copy of your bill ready to help speed things up). Then you decide how much wind energy you would like to purchase – usually in 100kWh “blocks” – and the charge will automatically appear on your regular monthly power bill (usually within 60 days of sign-up). To purchase energy produced by the Jersey-Atlantic site, simply specify Community Energy’s “NJ Wind” option, which will cost $5.50 monthly per 100kWh block. This premium is in addition to your normal monthly power bill, and reflects the higher construction and operating costs of wind turbines as compared to conventional power sources such as coal-fired power plants. The good news is that nothing about your existing utility service will change. You will have the same reliability of service as before, and if you have any problems with the power in your home, you simply call your existing utility company just as you would have in the past. And of course you may always cancel your enrollment in the program at any time.

A purchase of just 200kWh of wind power each month from the Jersey-Atlantic site, at a cost of only $11.00, will offset about 30% of the average New Jersey household’s electricity usage. For PSEG customers, this represents a greenhouse gas reduction of nearly 3000 pounds over the course of an entire year – or the equivalent of not driving an average vehicle for three whole months! Even more importantly, your purchase of Jersey-Atlantic wind power serves as a valuable subsidy for Community Energy which helps finance the development of future renewable energy projects, such as their brand-new solar array in central Pennsylvania which is expected to go on-line in late 2011. Of course, don’t forget that the cleanest energy is the energy that you don’t use, so always do what you can to conserve. But for the energy you do use, why not support renewable wind energy? It’s easy. It’s clean. And it’s made right here in New Jersey.
