GUTTER DOCTOR
LICENSED AND INSURED
Gloucester County College has
added a little magic to its perma-
nent art collection thanks to
Wenonah artist Helge Speth.
Speth, a retired Washington
Township elementary school
teacher and medical school grad-
uate, recently gifted a piece of
pottery to the colleges Perma-
nent Art Collection. Created
using the Japanese firing method
Raku, the unique, multi-colored
wall plaque captures the magic
that flame and smoke produce on
a clay surface. In the west, Raku
is referred to as happy circum-
stance since no two pieces are
alike. The GCC artwork, Magic
Leaf, is valued at $500. Speth en-
joys shaping the clay by hand
without the assistance of a wheel
and prefers to use the pinch
method, a more natural way of
working with clay.
I treasure the intimate spon-
taneity of this technique since I
like to observe the clay and see
what it might suggest when I take
a piece of it into my hands,
Speth said. Often there are
grooves, ridges and textures
which dictate the shape of the pot
I am about to make.
I am extremely delighted to
have this piece in our permanent
art collection as it is not only aes-
thetically pleasing, but is also the
first piece of Raku in the gallery,
Dr. Ross Beitzel, GCC art profes-
sor emeritus and founder/direc-
tor of GCCs Permanent Art
Gallery, said.
Speth earned a teaching degree
in art from California State Uni-
versity in addition to studying at
the Tyler School of Art, Universi-
ty of the Arts, the Clay Studio,
Perkins Center for the Arts, and
the Main Line and Wayne Art
Centers. Her work has been dis-
played in Connecticut at the Pub-
lic Library in Danbury, the Brook-
field Craft Center and the Silver
Mine Guild, at California State
University, Rowan University, the
Perkins Center for the Arts, the
Hopkins House, Burlington Coun-
ty College, the Clay College in
Millville, and the Main Line Art
Center. Speth is one of the five
featured artists whose work will
be on exhibit at the college Sept. 9
through Oct. 19 during GCCs fall
art show.

the new, earlier time a week or so
in advance.
Rearranging the body clock is
a shock the first week, Vitella
said. The first week is a big week
of adjustment and practicing
makes it easier.
It is also important that stu-
dents know what to expect on the
first day of school. Many districts
often welcome students for a tour
or plan orientation events prior
to the big first day.
Officials at the Lenape Region-
al High School District host vari-
ous events prior to the start of
school, to ease freshmen in to the
transition and give them the op-
portunity to meet staff and stu-
dents from other towns who are
new to them.
And for upperclassmen, the
school offers SAT prep programs
and essay writing workshops to
help students know what to ex-
pect at the next academic level.
Elementary as well as high
school students are both suscepti-
ble to having anxiety about re-
turning to school. For example,
incoming ninth-grade students
could be anxious about being in a
new, larger school. We try to ease
these anxieties by allowing them
to come into the building before
school starts, Assistant Superin-
tendent Carol Birnbohm said.
Upperclassmen may be anx-
ious about their post-secondary
plans. All of these (programs) are
designed to support our students
to help them feel they can succeed
on standardized assessments or
get accepted to the college they
want to attend.

6 THE WASHINGTON TWP. SUN AUGUST 17-23, 2011
G
ambling news came out last
week. Some of it was good.
Some of it was bad.
In one city, it was reported that gam-
bling revenue surged 32 percent in
June.
In a different city, it was reported
that gambling revenue fell 6.5 percent
in July.
In the first city, gambling revenue
has climbed 8.5 percent in the first six
months of 2011.
In the second city, gambling revenue
fell 6.9 percent in the first seven
months of this year.
The first city is Las Vegas. The sec-
ond city is Atlantic City. Now, maybe
Vegas logs an atrocious July and
things even out, but, pardon the pun,
we wouldnt bet on it.
No, wed bet that, no matter what
happens now with the economy, anoth-
er recession, an invasion from outer
space, etc., Atlantic City will continue
to drop.
It doesnt have to be that way.
Indeed, Atlantic City dropped the
ball when it came to fortifying its
place in the gambling world. Long be-
fore surrounding states established
their own casinos, AC could have set
itself up as a destination resort. It
could have marketed itself as a gam-
bling/entertainment city, instead of
one casino trying to take patrons away
from the casino next door.
Theres still time to turn things
around, but does AC have the drive, vi-
sion and leadership to do it?
The big issue: People from around
the world bypass their local casinos to
visit Vegas. People have to want to by-
pass their local casinos to spend time
in AC, too.
That means coordinated marketing.
It means working together to create an
Atlantic City Experience. It means
taking a step back, looking at what
Vegas has done and then trying to
recreate some of that magic along the
Boardwalk.
Theres no time to waste.
in our opinion
Winners and losers
Guess which category Atlantic City casinos fall into
Falling behind
Do you think Atlantic City can turn
things around and become a destina-
tion vacation spot?
Was Casey coverage a question of race?
No way Casey Anthony gets
attention if she were minority
While doing research a few years ago for
my thesis, I read about a phenomenon
called missing white woman syndrome
basically a phrase for the disproportionate
amount of television and media coverage
involving victims that are attractive, inno-
cent and white, compared to the coverage
minorities receive. If Caylee Anthony were
a minority child, would she have received
the same press coverage?
I did some research on missing white
woman syndrome and was wondering if
this could possibly be going on in this trial
also, said Alan Hart, associate professor
at BCC. No way would a minority receive
the same public attention. The last time
that happened was with Tawana Brawley
with Al Sharpton. Yet John Benet, Eliza-
beth Smart, Natalee Holloway, we could go
on all day.
Whether race played a role or not, the
verdict was certainly a high point of con-
tention to the public. Many wondered with
all the circumstantial evidence that existed
against Anthony, how she could still be
found not guilty.

Old-fashioned slap on the wrist
stops Cinnaminson burglar
A 90-year-old woman in Cinnaminson
stopped a break-in by smacking the bur-
glars hand like an old school marm.
Police said the woman on South Fork-
landing Road reported that a black four-
door sedan drove around to the rear of her
home Friday. A man came to the door, and
when he received no response, he retrieved
a crowbar from his car and tried prying
open the back door.
The glass broke, and the suspect put his
hand in to unlock the door. Thats when the
elderly woman smacked his hand.
The startled would-be burglar ran for it.
The suspect did not steal anything, but
police have not located him. He is de-
scribed as black, with short hair and a
stocky build. Presumably he might also
have gone to Catholic school and been con-
ditioned by nuns with rulers.
Educationally Yours Blog: We
all have First Day Jitters
First day jitters. We all have them. Par-
ents have them a new teacher, a new year,
a new class. Kids have them a new
teacher, a new year, a new class. And of
course, teachers have them. Especially
newly-out-of-college, raring-to-go, first-year
teachers. And once parents
hear that their child has
that brand new teacher,
sometimes they get a little
more nervous.
Getting a first-year
teacher is bound to hap-
pen. In todays current edu-
cational climate, districts
are looking to hire new
teachers to keep the cost down and mold
their young minds. I admit that I would be
a bit nervous if one of my daughters were
assigned to a brand new teacher. Although
I was one myself a long time ago, the idea
of a new teacher working out their kinks
on your own child is a bit concerning.
However, if my child is assigned to a new
teacher, heres what I will try to keep in
mind.
Almost all first year teachers are young,
motivated and over wrought with excite-
ment! They are brimming with new ideas,
a need to be involved in anyway they can
and willing to go that extra mile. They are
mentored and advised through workshops
and professional development. Most have
wanted to be a teacher forever so their
dream is finally coming true.

Janet Narduccis love of ani-
mals, nature and art can be seen
all during the month of August at
Washington Townships Mar-
garet E. Heggan Free Public Li-
brary. A Washington Township
resident and fine artist for more
than 25 years, Narducci has on
display a number of her paint-
ings, ranging from her cats Mee-
sha and Nikko to various land-
scapes. The exhibit is to the right
when people walk into the library,
located at 606
Delsea Drive. Nar-
ducci, who is also
the vice president
of the South Jer-
sey Camera Club,
is appreciative of
the exposure that
the library is pre-
senting to area artists.
This is the first exhibit for a
fine artist since the library relo-
cated to its new location in May.
The exhibit includes mainly oils
and colored pencil drawings.
Its very nice of the library to
give artists this type of expo-
sure, Narducci said. I am hon-
ored to be able to have my work
there.

Hear council discuss the
three candidates Aug. 18
The first mayor had to be
forced by the Supreme Court to
step down, Del Borrello said.
We have seen this from politi-
cians for years. We have gone
down this road before with politi-
cians; they dont always do the
right thing.
I would beg to differ with Ro-
gale. I think that would definitely
be a conflict of interest, Del Bor-
rello said. It might not be a legal
conflict, but as far as appearance
and propriety, yes. The MUA is
under the jurisdiction of the
township. With Joe, have you
talked to him? Did he say he was
stepping down? There is a lot of
hearsay going on and with Mc-
Crea, his wife is chairwoman of
the MUA. There is a lot of nepo-
tism. These three names just baf-
fle me.
The Republicans claim that
our picks are not good for the res-
idents of Washington Township,
McCrea said. Yet, as the leaders
on council, they promised not to
raise our taxes and they did. They
spent the better part of this year
attacking the Democrats and hav-
ing our mayor removed. Their
time could have been better spent
finding ways to hold the line on
taxes and improving the quality
of life in Washington Township.
Instead they continue to pat
themselves on the back with their
accomplishments higher taxes
and no mayor. That is not good for
the residents of Washington
Township.
There will be a special meeting
Aug. 18 at the municipal building
at 7 p.m. to discuss the candidates.
The interim mayor will serve the
township for 10 weeks and then a
permanent mayor will be elected
Nov. 8 during a special election.
Now that the candidates have
been selected, the Washington
Township Council has until the
18th to select one of the three,
McCrea said.
If they fail to choose, it goes
back to the Democratic Commit-
tee for selection.
