NJ’s governor and Cory Booker channel Seinfeld in video parody for correspondents show.
Just because they're the state's two most prominent politicians doesn't mean they don't have a sense of humor. The office of Gov. Chris Christie yesterday released a lighthearted video co-starring Newark Mayor Cory Booker as a peripatetic go-to guy, riffing off his now national-scale image as a man of action following his rescue of a neighbor from a burning building several weeks ago. As the Democratic mayor of the state's largest city is depicted doing everything from coming up with a spare guitar for Bruce Springsteen to catching a falling baby, a faux-frustrated Christie hisses "Booker!" The video was produced for the New Jersey Press Association's Legislative Correspondent's Club show.
CinnaFest will showcase local bands at Wood Park this summer.
The summer music park concerts have been announced and this year, Cinnaminson is holding a band festival comprised of township musical acts. Four returning acts this year will take the stage at Wood Park and a new addition this year, by popular demand, is a country artist. Shery Lynn, who plays original music as well as country covers, will join Carl Letterie Quartet, High Noone Express, R&B Express and To the Max. On June 30, Cinnaminson will play host to CinnaFest, a teen music festival featuring local bands. Last year, Mayor Don Brauckmann said local bands requested to use Wood Park for shows for their fans. “They had a really good following,” Brauckmann said of the two bands, Plus Shipping and Handling and Hand Puppet. “A lot of kids …

A decade after leaving Moorestown, Gary Gagnon has an Earth-friendly solution to landfill waste on his mind—and his feet.
Moorestown viewers of ABC's Shark Tank will get a blast from the past when former Vice Principal Gary Gagnon makes an appearance this Friday night, pitching his one hundred percent recyclable shoes. Gagnon served in his leadership role with MHS from 1997 to 2001 before moving into the private sector in a variety of product development roles. Now in North Carolina, he's taking a passion project into the spotlight. Developed under the brand name REMYXX™, the shoes are comprised of completely recyclable materials. While that doesn't mean you can toss them into the blue bucket with your curb pickup, it does mean that conscious consumers now have an option other than the trash can and landfill. "The mission is not only to deliver an enjoyable…

Measure aimed at staving off 'relentless' toll increases, assemblyman says
A group of Ocean County state legislators have proposed a bill that would allow commuters to claim a tax credit if they spend $1,000 or more on highway tolls per year. Sen. Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Dave Wolfe and Greg McGuckin (all R-10) proposed the bill in their respective chambers Tuesday. If it becomes law, commuters would be able to receive a $1,000 state income tax credit if their E-ZPass toll accounts register $1,000 or more in toll payments in a given year. Holzapfel said the law is aimed at providing relief for commuters who have seen "relentless" toll increases in recent years. "By providing commuters with a means to offset a portion of their commuting costs, our bill recognizes that these taxpayers are paying more than …

Preschool students learn about disability awareness and giving back to their community.
In an effort to reflect the values of community service set by Rabbi Fineblum and Temple Sinai, Cinnaminson’s Temple Sinai Nursery School (TSNS) hosted its first hop-a-thon.

Doctors cut the ribbon on the 33,000-square-foot facility, expected to draw in patients from all over South Jersey.
South Jersey has a new place to go for its broken bones, bad backs and sports injuries. The Rothman Institute, a private orthopedic practice, recently celebrated the opening of its expansive new Marlton office. With 45 exam rooms, 33,000 square feet of space, X-ray and epidural injection suites, and 70 staff on-site, Rothman’s new branch is a one-stop shop for its patients. “Our ultimate goal is to have happy patients and happy physicians,” said Dr. Todd Albert, president of the Rothman Institute. “We’re all about the patient experience and promoting healing for our patients.” Orthopedic care is becoming increasingly necessary as Baby Boomers enter their senior years, pushing up patient needs at many facilities, including Rothman, the …

Cinnaminson's public safety director calls Global Connect a "much better" system.
Last year, a hurricane hit Cinnaminson, a string of burglaries affected township homes and accidents shut down roads. But since the township’s emergency notification phone system had been down for quite some time, residents didn’t receive the voice messages they were so used to. Now, Cinnaminson residents can rely on those emergency phone calls; the Cinnaminson Police Department and other officials have begun using Global Connect, an emergency notification system. It gives the township the ability to call thousands of people within minutes. “It’s much better than the system we had before,” said Public Safety Director Michael P. King. “If there are burglaries in one section of town, we can notify them first, then do the entire town so …
