No to paper recycling progrBy KATRINA GRANTThe Shamong Sun
The residents of ShamongTownship and the township com-mittee heard a presentation fromAnn Moore, Burlington Countyrecycling coordinator, at the re-cent committee meeting aboutthe CART program. The CARTprogram is used by all townshipsin the county for recycling paper,except Shamong.
With the CART program, town-ship residents would each receive
a recycling cart that could be usedto hold all types of paper. Accord-ing to the presentation, residentsrecycle up to 100 pounds morepaper each year with the pro-gram, and most municipalitiessee a 25 percent increase in recy-cling.
Shamong Township, however,decided not to move forward withthe CART program because ofthe cost to the township. Thecounty had to hire an engineer todesign the system at the countylevel, costing the county millionsof dollars, therefore pushingcosts onto the townships. Thecounty agreed to pay half of thecost to the townships, but Sha-mong would still be responsiblefor the other half, totaling be-tween $50,000 and $60,000 over thenext six years, if it joined the pro-
gram.The township committee did
not see any cost benefit to the pro-gram and decided not to move for-ward with it. The township canrevisit the issue in the future.

County Clerk Timothy D. Tylersaid last week that his office willprovide free copies of certifiedproperty deeds to county resi-dents who are flood victims ofHurricane Irene. Tyler said prop-erty owners who are dealing withflood damage and the other after-math issues of the hurricane cancall his office or that of Congress-man Jon Runyan between now

We fully realize that impor-tant documents are often lost orbecome unaccounted for in aflood disaster of this magnitude,Tyler said. Our intent is to makethis one less item that flood vic-tims need to address as they workto put their homes and lives backtogether.
He said homeowners shouldcall his office at 265-5122 or Run-yans office at (856) 780-6436 to re-quest a certified copy of theirdeed. Those who call can supplytheir name, address, contact in-formation and approximate dateof purchase.

Going into a new school can benerve-wracking for both theyoung student and the parents. AtIndian Mills Memorial School, asummer program designed toquell the uncertainty took root.
Annually, during the month ofAugust, under the tutelage ofTim Carroll, principal, and agroup of eighth-grade volunteers,incoming fifth-graders are givena warm welcome and orientationthat covers the ins and outs ofnavigating through their newschool environment.
Beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 23,students were introduced to theirmost daunting hurdle: figuringout how to unlock and lock theirown school locker.
For many, it was the first time
they have had to use a combina-tion lock, so an hour over twodays was devoted to ensuringthey get it down to a science.
On Thursday, the eighth-gradestudents organized an in-school
scavenger hunt so the new ar-rivals could find such importantlocations as bathrooms, art room,computer lab, lunch room, gym,library, music room, band roomand individual classrooms. Thefollowing week, students weregiven the opportunity to simulatea sample school day.
This is an important piece ofthe puzzle because the schooldoes not use a bell system to movestudents throughout the day.Keeping it focused on family in-volvement, parents were invited

For the 5,000 people who con-verged on the Salem County Fair-grounds Labor Day weekend, itwasnt just about a particularband. While some people may fol-low their favorite musician fromstage to stage, for many, this wasmore about the sound itself.
They follow the music, and theatmosphere and way of life thatgo along with it.
The Delaware Valley BluegrassFestival, which celebrated its 40thanniversary on Labor Day week-end, is a tradition for people nearand far. They pack up their tents,their RVs and their cars to spendthe last unofficial weekend ofsummer camped out in Piles-grove, just off U.S. Route 40.
Diane Wise, of Sussex County,Del., said she has been coming tothe festival for the past 10 years orso, adding its her favorite blue-grass festival by far. Its also theperfect getaway for the holidayweekend.
I live by the shore, so I getaway from there, she said with a
chuckle, pointing off to the tree
line past the open fields to showwhere her family had set upcamp.
This is sort of its own culturehere and it brings a lot of differ-ent people together. I believe itwas Bill Monroe who said blue-grass has brought more people to-gether than any other type ofmusic.
Indeed, the exact words of BillMonroe, the founding father ofbluegrass, were, Bluegrass hasbrought more people together
and made more friends than anymusic in the world.
The three-day odyssey of theDelaware Valley Bluegrass Festi-val epitomized that.
Dozens, if not hundreds, ofRVs filled the fields at the 60-plusacre fairgrounds, surrounded bythe softly undulating farms ofSalem County. With outdoor rugs,furniture and lighting, some peo-ple had setups so inviting you

ith summer vacation in the
rear-view mirror, students
of all ages are back in
school.
That means sports, theater, music
and academic achievements are right
around the corner. And we want to
hear about them.
These days, a lot of the news about
schools concerns taxes and budgets
and thats for good reason. Gov.
Christies new normal was a game-
changer for districts across the state.
Balancing the goal of providing a
quality education with an apprecia-
tion of the taxpayer is an even more
daunting task these days.
Other times, there are stories about
kids getting into trouble or other prob-
lems in school.
But we recognize that theres more
to school news than debates over
money or stories about troublemaking
kids. Every day, students do remark-
able things. They excel in athletics or
academics. They succeed in music and
theater. They perform tremendousacts of giving.
We here at The Sun love to hear
about these achievements and to share
them with everyone in your communi-
ty.
But, to do that, we need your help.
We need to know about your events
and activities well in advance. And, if
we cant make it out to cover an event,
wed be most grateful if you could
email a photo or short press release.
So, as the new school year begins,
please keep us in mind. If youre a
teacher or administrator, give us a
heads up about the good things going
on in your school. If youre a parent,
dont be shy about sharing good news
about your children.
These kids deserve a round of ap-
plause. With your assistance, we can
help make that happen.

A robot, a baseball star, a scam and the WTC
Police say a man
in Lindenwold killed a robotA man has been charged with beating a
police robot to death during an armedstand-off last week.
The Camden County Sheriff s depart-ment said the law enforcement droid withvideo and audio equipment was smashedinto junk with a sledgehammer.
The robot had been sent up to an openwindow of a house on Linden Avenue tocommunicate with Thomas Kane Jr., 26,who police say had barricaded himself in-side his home.
Officers were responding to a report ofshots fired.
While sheriffs officers spoke to Kanethrough the machine and the suspect al-legedly responded with profanities, thewoman inside the home ran out a back
door.Though eventually officers found out
Kane was now alone, they sent the robot tolook through the window of the front doorand check whether a child might still be in-side.
Thats when Kane allegedly smashed thewindow, came outside, pounded on therobot with a sledgehammer and pushed itoff his porch, causing $20,000 in damage tothe 700 pound machine.

Millville native Mike Troutnamed ML Player of the YearMike Trout is representing South Jersey
admirably. In 2009, the Los Angeles Angelsselected the former Millville baseball starin the first round of the Major LeagueBaseball draft.
He went on to shine at the 2010 All-StarsFuture Game, and was called up to the bigleagues this year. He is now contributingfor a team that is in a fight for a playoffspot.
Last week, he added yet another accom-plishment to his collection: Baseball Amer-ica named Trout its 2011 Minor LeaguePlayer of the Year.
At Double-A Arkansas this year, Troutrecorded a .326 batting average, .414 on-base percentage and .544 slugging percent-age quite impressive numbers for a kidwhos not even 21 years old.

Another scam implicates
workers at TD BankWhat exactly is going on with employeesat TD Bank? Yet another story in the Couri-er-Post says bank workers helped run ascam against customers.
In this case, federal authorities say twoPhiladelphia men created counterfeitchecks for actual TD bank accounts, de-posited them into the bank and withdrewmoney out of that fictitious amount allthrough a TD teller who was in on thescheme.

The Twin Towersremain a part of us
The final scene from Martin Scorseses2002 film Gangs of New York is eerie inmany ways.
Its a brutal, bloody film about New YorkCity in the mid-1800s. The film closes witha scene that shows the destruction andthen the re-build of Manhattans skyline.
Scorsese got some grief about the scenebecause of its depiction of New York Cityin destruction a touchy subject to say theleast, being that it was released only oneyear after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist at-tacks on New York City and Washington,D.C.
The movie, though, was filmed beforethe attacks, and Scorsese defended keepingthe final scene as he originally planned.
Lives of all Americans and, in fact, forpeople worldwide changed since 9/11. Butthe iconic images that were destroyed inphysical form that day live on.

would never know they were onlythere for a brief stay, only to packup and go with the last twang ofmandolins, fiddles, banjos and
guitars.Its a place people return to
every year to see old friends, meetnew ones, and of course, hearsome great music.
For Katie Wehr and HilaryHeischman, both of Princeton, itmade them feel at home. BothWehr, originally from Iowa, andHeischman, a native of West Vir-ginia, had no idea there was abluegrass festival in New Jerseyuntil this year.
We were pretty excited whenwe heard about this, Heischmansaid. Its great. Its a nice balancebetween bands Ive heard of andnew ones Im learning. Its good,quality music. Im really happy to
find this in New Jersey.Both agreed that bluegrass hasa wide appeal and they pointed tothe range of festival-goers asproof. There are all different ages;all different walks of life, Wehrsaid. Theres a certain energy inbluegrass music that can reachanyone, she said.
Whether youre just listeningto it for the first time or youveknown it for a while, you can tapyour foot and bounce your head
along, she said.Theres also a good variety
within the genre itself, whichcould be seen in the lineup at thefestival. There were obvious old-time bluegrass influences blend-ed with newer styles, Cajun,French, German and more.
Its the variety and wide appeal
of the festival that ArchieWarnock, the festivals stagemanager, is proud of and creditsin part to the success of the festi-val.
The Delaware Valley BluegrassFestival, put on by the Brandy-wine Friends of Old Time Music,didnt reach the 40-year status bypure luck. Although, according toWarnock, its not exactly thanksto a top-secret ingredient or a bril-liant business model either.
Its as simple as giving the au-dience what they want: goodmusic, good people, and a relax-ing, family-friendly atmosphere,which he said cant get any betterthan the Salem County Fair-
grounds. (He even went as far tosay that, although the festivalgrows every year, he would hateto see it outgrow its current loca-tion.)
Warnock and his wife, Priscil-la, the official event photogra-pher, got involved in the festivalabout 15 years ago after comingyear after year as spectators. Itwas their favorite bluegrass festi-val and lending a hand just madesense for the couple, who lives
near Annapolis, Md.This festival has always had
the greatest combination of greatweather, a great lineup, andfriendly people, he said. Its agreat place to go. Its always beena really great atmosphere.
Dave Harvey, the mandolinplayer for David Peterson & 1946,
had just told him earlier in theday that Saturday that as soon asPeterson told him they wereasked to play the Delaware Valleyfestival, he responded that it wasa no-brainer; they were going.
It was quite a compliment tohear of the great reputation thatthe festival has. Yet, as far as blue-grass festivals go, they arent oneof the biggest or most well-knownacross the whole country. Its beengoing on strong for four decades,however, making it most likelythe third-oldest, continuouslyrunning bluegrass festival in thenation.
There have been many greatacts that have flocked to the
Salem County Fairgrounds. Bignames have included Bill Monroehimself, Ralph Stanley and Ali-son Krauss, just to name a few.
Some of the acts this year in-cluded Steep Canyon Rangers(the band that has been touringwith Steve Martin), April Verch,Claire Lynch Band and the PeterRowan Bluegrass Band.
Warnock said there are power-ful themes and messages in the

music that people connect to,which helps the festival develop asocial aspect and a life of its own.
It becomes a destination event tothe point that, as soon as someonebuys their 2012 calendar, theDelaware Valley Bluegrass Festi-val is the first thing they write onit.
Though its not exactly like youcould forget the date -- its alwaysheld Labor Day weekend.
Warnock added that hes happyto see a younger generation get-ting into bluegrass. There was atime about 30 years ago when hewas afraid that not only would allthe musicians die, but the fanswould die with them.
Thats not the case anymore.Hundreds of fans over the
weekend included young chil-
dren, teens and adults in their 20sand 30s. There was a true mix ofgenerations seen both in thecrowd and in the music. The mu-
sicians ranged in age from per-formers like soon-to-be 20-year-old Sierra Hull to Ralph Stanley,84.
The people that come here areserious about bluegrass, said Ra-mona Wilt, who along with herhusband, Howard Moore, camefrom Elverson, Pa., to camp at the
festival all weekend in their RV.As the night began to wind
down, they were listening to thefestival broadcast live on 88.1. Themusic came from several camp-sites, so no matter where youwere, you wouldnt miss a beat.
The husband and wife bothsaid that bluegrass is a genre thatis felt and heard; it is very emo-tional.
Its really the emotion thatsin the music that Ive been drawnto, Wilt said. It reaches down toyour soul.
As campfires burned in thebackground, Moore chimed inthat bluegrass is a culture ofreal people.
If you are a true bluegrassfan, you are down to earth andnot false, he said. A traditional-ist can tell if you are real.
The same can be said for themusic. The flowing, strippeddown sound itself is as down toearth as its fans.
Wilt and Moore are musiciansthemselves in the band SweetWater Bluegrass.
The jam sessions you findamong the festival-goers in the
camping area are among the bestWilt said she has seen at area fes-tivals and you can really learn alot about the music.
Theres what she calls blue-grass etiquette. Youll approach acircle of musicians, and each cir-cle has a leader who will give youa nod to let you know that its allright to join their impromptu per-formance.
Theres a respect for your fel-low musician here, Wilt said,noting that sometimes, youll jamwith the same person year afteryear and know them by their in-strument, not their name.
Music is the universal lan-guage and all are welcome.
