The Voorhees Township Com-
mittee met on May 27 to discuss
construction that will be taking
place in the township this year.
A bond ordinance will allow
the township to acquire and im-
prove the sewer utility system.
There definitely will be im-
provements made to some of the
pump stations in Voorhees,
Township Administrator Larry
Spellman said. We will also be
constructing and reconstructing
other pump stations in the town-
ship.
The pump stations Spellman is
referring to include the Las
Brisas and Beagle Pump Stations.
There will also be work done on
the pumps at Main Street and
Evergreen Pump Station, as well
as the reconstruction and re-
placement of township sewer
lines and manholes. The estimat-
ed cost for this work will be $1.14

Mayor visits school
Special to The Sun
Voorhees Township Mayor Michael Mignogna recently visited E.T.
Hamilton Elementary School in honor of Memorial Day. Mignogna
spoke to an assembly of kindergarten through fifth graders, along
with veterans who also spoke and attended the ceremony. The mayor
spoke of a longtime friend who was killed in war and how much the
loss of a friend meant to him while serving his country. The mayor
gave his perspective of what Memorial Day meant to him. He also
thanked all veterans who served and fought in the military. Pictured

The Sun
Voorhees-based American
Water has begun two new pro-
grams to aid the volunteers who
serve the community every day.
The first program, Tough Com-
puters for Tough Volunteers, of-
fers Toughbook computers to non-
profit organizations. The second,
Giving Back to Our Community
Heroes, will be awarding 21 volun-
teer organizations nearly $20,000
to offset equipment costs.
We all appreciate the commit-
ment that our firefighters and
first responders have made to our
communities, said Peter A. Es-
chbach, director of communica-
tions and external affairs.
Through this grant program, we
want to thank them for their work
and help them to maintain the
supplies and equipment their
companies need. They keep our
homes and businesses safe each
day, and we cannot say thank you
enough for all that they do.
Both programs will benefit vol-
unteers who live in the communi-
ties in which they work. Organi-
zations submitted applications for
the Giving Back to Our Communi-
ty Heroes program, and a group of
New Jersey American Water em-
ployees who are active volunteers
themselves selected the organiza-
tions that will split the money.
We based our decision on who
to give the grants to based on a set
of criteria we deemed made these
non-profits stand out from the
rest, Richard G. Barnes, external
affairs manager at New Jersey
American Water, said.
The grant money will be used
to purchase safety apparatuses
and equipment upgrades. Some of
the proposed purchases by the se-
lected companies include rescue
life vests, personal escape sys-
tems, portable radios and LED
flashlights.
The volunteer organizations
do so much for the community,
Barnes said. If they cant keep
themselves safe, they will never
be able to keep us safe.
The Tough Computers for
Tough Volunteers program is an
extension of the Community He-
roes program. The company has a
scheduled replacement program
for its Toughbook computers and
will donate the extra computers to
selected non-profit organizations.
Though these computers no
longer meet our companys needs,
they may still benefit firefighters
and first responders in our com-
munities, Eschbach said. Were
launching our Toughbooks for
Tough Volunteers (#Tough-
books4ToughVolunteers) to do-
nate computers as tough as the
community volunteers who will
use them.
The computers are designed to
withstand drops and spills, mak-
ing them ideal for emergency re-
sponders and volunteers doing
work in the field.
We are hoping to begin giving
the Toughbooks away in June,
Barnes said. Its exciting to give
something to these organizations
that we know will have a profound
impact on what they can do.
American Water is currently
accepting requests from non-prof-
its for the Toughbooks program.

I
ts no secret that health insurance
is expensive. Thanks to Oba-
macare, health insurance is more
obtainable for Americans, but for most
of us, the cost of health insurance
especially through employer-spon-
sored plans continues to rise.
Theres nothing that we, or our em-
ployers, can do about it, unfortunately.
Now that we are required to have
health insurance, we cant just say,
screw it, Ill take a chance and have
no insurance. We are required to pay
up...and up and up and up.
So what can we do? What is in our
control? The obvious answer: Our
health.
The healthier we are, the less likely
we will need to use our health insur-
ance. And the less we need to use our
health insurance, the more likely the
cost of our health insurance will go
down in the future.
Take a look at your health insur-
ance plan, and at others that those
around you have. Most likely, there are
incentives for living a healthy lifestyle.
Join a gym, go three times a week, and
you get a discount on said gym mem-
bership. Why? Because the healthier
we are, the less it costs to insure us.
Getting healthier starts at home,
with the food we eat. And the food that
is available for us to eat is getting bet-
ter all around us.
A great place to start for healthier
options is a local farmers market.
Theyre popping up everywhere, if
you havent noticed.
According to JerseyFresh.com,
there are 11 registered farmers mar-
kets in Camden County and six in
Burlington County that run every
weekend.
Thats in addition to the countless
farm stands and farmers market spe-
cial events that take place from spring
through fall.
Never been to a farmers market? Its
worth the trip. Not only can you buy
fresh, local produce that is often
cheaper than the supermarkets, you
can also get great ideas and lessons on
how to use the products you buy.
In addition to learning more about a
healthy lifestyle, and purchasing
goods that can help you do so, visiting
a local farmers market is also a nice
change-of-pace for the summer.
So get up, go out and support local
farmers and stores by visiting your
local farmers market. It will be well
worth the trip, now and in the future.
Want cheaper health insurance?
Get healthy and start at a local farmers market

Were award winners!
I like to think that we do some pretty
good work here at The Sun. Sure, I may be
a little biased, seeing as how Ive worked
here for more than nine years, and have
played a part in how we look today as a
company.
I cant help but be proud of the work we
produce every week, covering all of our
towns on an in-depth basis.
Im also particularly proud of how far
weve come over these past nine years, and
how weve continued to transition in the
ever-changing world of the news media.
But last week, I was delivered news that
made me perhaps the proudest Ive been
since I first joined this company in March
2005.
Officially, we can consider ourselves an
award-winning news company. Officially,
two of our news department employees
can call themselves award-winning jour-
nalists.
Our very own Katie Morgan, the associ-
ate editor for The Princeton Sun, and Mary
Serkalow, the managing editor for all The
Suns, were named winners of the 2014 New
Jersey Society of Professional Journalists
Excellence in Journalism awards for
work done in 2013.
Katie won second place in the weekly
newspaper category for the Wilson Barto
Rookie of the Year, and Mary won third
place in the weekly newspaper category for
Page One Design.
They, along with our company, will be
recognized at a banquet at the end of the
month.
Please join me in congratulating both
Katie and Mary, and the rest of our news
department, for the recognition. It was our
hard work and dedication to our readers
that helped us win these awards.
Heres to more awards, and even better
news coverage, in the future!

JUNE 4-10, 2014 THE VOORHEES SUN 7
Warm weather offers the op-
portunity to relax and enjoy the
outdoors.
The Voorhees Township Com-
mittee is pleased to welcome the
summer of 2014 and our 11th An-
nual Summer Twilight Series to
be held on the "Great Lawn" at
Connolly Park. We are excited to
present another fun-filled sum-
mer of free entertainment.
The first show is Thursday,
June 19, rain date Sunday, June 22
and will feature Bruce in the
USA, the world's No. 1 tribute to
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street
Band. Bruce in the USA is much
more than just another tribute
band. This high-energy musical
experience is note-perfect and a
visually active re-creation of a
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street
Band show. Voorhees Township is
having a real live "Bruce Bash!"
The second show is July 17,
rain date Thursday, July 24 and
will feature EagleMania-The
World's Greatest Eagles Tribute
Band. Ea-
gleMania
has dedi-
cated itself
to faithful-
ly repro-
ducing the
sound of
The Ea-
gles. Since
their in-
ception,
EagleMa-
nia has
been
thrilling
audi-
ences all
over the
East Coast with their stunning
five-part harmonies and uncanny
ability to emulate The Eagles
note by note. Their show consists
of all of the Eagles greatest hits
as well as some of the solo work
of many of the individual mem-
bers of the band such as Don Hen-
ley, Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh.
On Thursday, Aug. 7, rain date
Thursday, Aug. 21, we welcome
Almost Queen for the first time.
This group succeeds in blending
the vocal layering and studio pre-
cision that is a signature of the
band with the energy and specta-
cle of a live stage production.
Elaborate lighting, effects and
costumes aptly frame the sea-
soned musicians who step into
these very large shoes to render
an authentic "Queen experience."
The Summer Twilight Series
concludes with the township's an-
nual Movie Night in the Park on
Saturday, Sept. 13, rain date Sat-
urday, Sept. 20. The students in
the Voorhees elementary schools
and middle school will vote on
their favorite movie to be shown
on the "big screen."
The township's Summer Twi-
light Series provides free fun for
all ages with plenty of parking.
