BEFORE YOU COMPROMISE...
It has taken you years of uncompromising effort to achieve what you have today.
But it can all be lost in an instant.
And without the proper insurance coverage, what could have been replaced might now be lost forever.
It’s not about COST.
It’s about VALUE.
You know you get what you pay for. Buyinginsurance based on premium cost can turn out to bea regrettable decision. In an industry that iscontinually changing, sometimes confusing, andinarguably complex, the development of an effectiveand efficient insurance plan is an art practiced by afew, rare organizations. These companies bring aunique vision and innovation that make sure thatwhat they offer matches the needs of their clients.
WITH US, IT’S PERSONAL.
Brown & Brown is one of those companies.We have a unique expertise in serving highnet worth clients. We know and understandthe important nuances of the market. We arelocal. Most importantly, we operate onsimple, yet profound, principles: everyclient is unique. Every need is individual.Every plan is customized, and there is no“one size fits all” solution.

HISTORY OF AMISHThe roots of the Amish and Mennonites originated
from the Anabaptist movement, which began in Zurich, Switzerland in 1525.
The Amish get their name from Jacob Ammaan who split off from the Mennonites in 1693. The Amish began arriving in Pennsylvania in the late 1600’s, fl eeing religious persecution in Europe. The Amish and Mennonite both settled in Pennsylvania as part of William Penn’s “Holy experiment” of Religious tolerance. The fi rst sizable group of Amish arrived in Lancaster County in the early 1700’s.
Route 340, that passes beside Abe’s Buggy Rides was built in 1733 by King George II and was called the King’s Highway in Colonial days. The town of Bird-in-Hand was established in 1734, receiving its name from a sign on a local Inn.
The Amish are a hard working people dedicated to leading a good family life, staying humble, helping in their community, and following the Ordnung which is an unwritten set of rules they follow.
They are a people who have chosen this way of life because of their faith. To them this is a way of everyday living.

As Co-President of the West Dept-ford Junior Wom-en’s Club, my job is to find ways for
our club to support our local landscapes. As one of our conservation initiatives this year, we are passionately trying to support Sanitarium Playgrounds, a local state-owned park with a rich, fas-cinating history, located at the end of Red Bank Avenue in West Deptford Township.
Sanitarium Playground is known to lo-cals as “Soupy Island,” a name which did not come about by accident.
The Sanitarium Association was found-ed in 1877 on an island in the Delaware River near the Ben Franklin Bridge by amusement park owner John F. Smith and other philanthropists, including many doctors of the time.
In 1886, the Sanitarium Association had to move their facility due to the wid-ening, or dredging, of the Delaware River, eliminating the current island. The new location, where the property sits today in West Deptford Township, included a new hospital created to treat area chil-dren with the then-current threat of tu-berculosis. The idea was to give sick city children in Philadelphia a taste of some clean, country air to aid in their recupera-tion, and what goes better with the treat-ment of illness than soup? Sanitarium Association doctors felt that this was a better environment from which to re-cover was preferable to a cold and bereft hospital. Soup by the gallons were ladled
daily to the children shipped over the river by ferry.
As the twentieth century brought with it new vaccinations, medicine, and treatment, the need for the fresh air TB treatment waned, but the comfortable, family-oriented atmosphere did not detract parents and their children from wanting to come to what was now col-lectively known as Soupy (the Island being a throwback to the original, elimi-nated island in the river). Healthy children were still fed soup, milk, and crackers, and during the Great Depression, this free ser-vice was a sanctuary for several thousand Delaware Valley families.
During the Second World War, Soupy
Island served as a military base, used as surveillance of New York Shipbuilding Company, located directly across the river. There were anti-aircraft missiles housed here to aid in the protection of the shipyard from outside attacks, and the ferry service next to the Soupy Island property, The League Island Ferry, trans-ported workers and military personnel to and from the naval yard.
While children stopped being ferried over the river in the 1970’s, they never stopped coming: now, they are bused from the city and surrounding Southern New Jersey communities.
Recreation amenities became a popu-lar amenity at Soupy, and the steam car-
ousel that stopped working during the 1930’s was replaced by a Joseph Ferrari carousel from New York; the Ferrari carou-sel is still operating to this day on Soupy Island. The grounds contain the original slide that was built in 1907, with kids continuing the tradition of bringing wax paper to aid in going down the slide for a faster ride. Other amenities include two swimming pools, various playgrounds, a soccer field, and a basketball court that was donated by Campbell’s soup in 2008. Bathroom facilities, covered picnic areas, and the original soup kitchen handing out the tradition of soup, milk, and gra-ham crackers still stand - and still serve the iconic meals.
The park is free, with funds coming from a now-century-plus-old trust; how-ever, as generations of children grow and have families of their own, the love of Soupy Island never goes away, and the park is difficult to fund with regards to the traffic that comes through each sea-son. Popular opinions are that Sanitarium Playgrounds is owned or fully funded by Campbell’s Soup, which is untrue; Camp-bell’s has been generous in its donations regarding soup and beverage, but there is a tremendous amount of upkeep nec-essary.
The caretakers are third-generation, and committed to community service: they annually host the local school dis-trict’s end-of-year picnics, allow the local Girl Scout Council Camporee to stay a weekend in May for their yearly campout, allow free use of the pools for lifeguard training courses, and much, much more.
This year, the budget is showing strain in pool upkeep. Three thousand dollars’ worth of pool chemicals and paint are needed to get through the season, and our goal as a club is to help them meet that goal. They have given so much in the last century and a quarter, and have such a place in the hearts of area families, it is imperative that we do not allow this lo-cal relic to show any effects of neglect or antipathy.
Local business partners with a strong community connection, Johnson Mat-they and Solvay Polymers, have both giv-en generously to the fund, but two thirds of the aquatic costs for the 2015 season is still outstanding.
Many of our members grew up attend-ing functions at Soupy, and continue the traditions with their own children. My first job was as a lifeguard there, and spent many a summer providing hot soup in the old outdoor kitchen. Soupy Island enriches our community, state, and region, and we hope that generations to come are still able to enjoy such simple pleasures. •

HAPPY. MEAL.
Many things change overnight when you have kids. Perpetual sleep deprivation and The Disney Channel as background music are things more easily adjusted to than the lack of good dining options. In a flash, it can feel like all the hip, memorable dining experiences have vanished, replaced by a parade of forgettable fast casual spots that
can accommodate tantrums and grabby hands. The Red Hen in Swedesboro thinks parents and kids deserve a bet-ter option.
“We tried to capture the market of young families,” ex-plains Ilse Pope, manager and events coordinator at the Red Hen. “It was designed with adults in mind, but also kids, to cater to families, so it’s a fun environment, it’s re-laxed.”
Over a cheese board filled with accoutrements of wal-nuts, apples and honey and a kid-friendly serving of bite-sized fried chicken served with waffles and an addictive Tabasco maple syrup, Pope talked about how the Red Hen found its own personality distinct from its sister restaurant, Tavro 13, the haute cuisine spot next door.
“We still buy local, we still have specials, seasonal items, we change our menu seasonally, we buy local from farm-ers in the area, we still bring in seafood fresh, it’s delivered here two or three times a week. We run great specials, so a family can sit down and the kids can have their pizza or chicken tenders, but dad can still have his prime rib (a 16-ounce prime rib that has been slow cooked for 24 hours no less), and mom can come and have a shrimp cocktail with our homemade sriracha sauce. So you can have all the high-quality aspects of fine dining here in a more relaxed setting.”
By relaxed, don’t think that means the Red Hen skimped on sophisticated style. The restaurant has fine tuned country chic with a modern twist to make it homey and inviting while still unique, with
The Red Henreinvents family-friendly dining
Summer Food
When you visit a diner, your culinary expectations might not be too grand, sometimes a well-melted grilled cheese and a fresh turkey club is all it takes for a diner to earn passing reviews. But Chef George Ragos, one of the owners of Colo-nial Diner in Woodbury, isn’t one for just meeting the status quo. Having attended school in New Orleans and first worked as a cook at Emeril Lagasse’s famed Commander’s Palace in the Big Easy, Ragos learned the New Orleans-style of cook-ing early on in his career. The cuisine, which combines homey and haute cuisine elements, has stayed with the chef over the years and he’s been anxious to bring it to South Jersey diners. With Colonial, he now has the chance.
Having been a chef at Lucien’s Manor in Berlin for over a decade, Ragos was able to partner with his boss there, Chris Kolovos, and Kolovos' father-in-law to purchase the long-
standing Woodbury diner, and realize his dream.The kitchen at Colonial probably operates a bit differently
from other diners in the region.“I’ve taught all the prep people here to save the fat when
they are cooking their meats.”Ragos points out as he explains the process that a staple of
New Orleans cuisine is to save fat drippings to infuse flavor into foods.
“So we save the fat and then we render it for three hours, drawing the liquid out and retaining the oils. Then we clarify it what you are left with at the top is clean, rendered fat, which I use as a base to make our rues and our sauces. Just like you do with your Thanksgiving turkey, that’s how we cook every day.”
As he speaks, Ragos is working on making the diner’s fa-mous beef stew. He points out how he browns everything, right down to browning his own spices. When asked why, Ra-gos has a simple effective answer, “It makes things delicious.”
“I brown the spices and deglaze with the liquids from the meats, all the spices and goodness that is stuck to the bottom of the pan, it all comes up and gives it that delicious, smoky flavor.”
Ragos browns veggies and caramelizes them in pork and bacon fat for added flavor. He says one of his favorite dishes is his chicken pot pie, which combines all of those rich flavors of homestyle cooking.
To appeal to younger and more health-conscious din-ers, Ragos added gluten-free, vegetarian and heart-healthy dishes. With a college athlete son to inspire him, Ragos even added high-protein quinoa selections to the menu.
“I watched how he eats. A lot of people work out now and we don't just want to have the traditional dishes, we want to appeal to all types of diners.”
“It’s not your average diner menu, we don't just do Italian, Greek and American dishes. We do Mexican, English, Irish, Asian.”
Ragos says he’s able to offer such variety, like stir fries and burritos, because of the high volume of fresh vegetables that he incorporates into the dishes, keeping the cost down and the flavor high, he adds.
Ragos is actually working on a cookbook that spotlights his diner food and offers recipes tailored for both diner chefs and amateur chefs.
“I show my traditional style of cooking and how you can make the dishes family-style for six, eight, ten-plus people.”
Currently in the midst of a million-dollar renovation, but open throughout the remodel, the new look should make its debut sometime in late summer. With thousands of people passing through the diner on a daily basis in Woodbury, it surely won’t go unnoticed. •
The Colonial Diner is located at 924 North Broad St., Woodbury. For more information, call 856-848-6732

dark wood decorative touches and vintage incandescent-style lighting.
“We are in a traditionally farming com-munity, this was all farmland around us and there still are a lot of farms and a lot of pre-served open space. We wanted to appeal to our locals more so than anyone else,” ex-plains Pope.
With a “farm auction” vibe that’s a hodge-podge of decorative touches, Pope says she and the staff have gotten hooked on finding the next undiscovered treasure to add to the decor.
“We go to auctions and buy pieces and we refurbish them. We used pallets to build our service station and our retail store, so we could use all reclaimed wood. Everything you see in the room is for sale. If someone likes the table they are sitting at, it’s for sale and they can take it home.”
If a table might be a little too much to fit in the trunk, the small retail shop filled with farm-chic gifts (plus beer and wine) should satisfy any consumer craving.
Pope is especially excited about their sum-mer menu, which spotlights their local pro-duce focus.
“It has a lot more emphasis on fresh veg-gies, seasonal produce, like tomatoes, think caprese salad, amazingly fresh asparagus...it’s geared toward barbecued foods, grilled meats and keeping food more simple. We don’t douse everything in gravies and sauces, we just like to enhance the natural flavor of foods, like marinating proteins in lemon and garlic and grilling, along with fresh salads that incorporate fruits and nuts.”
From vegans to dedicated carnivores, Pope says the menu is comfort food with a bit of adventure.
“For example, we are making the burger menu more exciting with a lamb burger on a brioche bun and a pork belly burger. It’s still food that is familiar to people but with an ex-citing twist that’s a little different.”
The Red Hen is particular with where it sources its ingredients. A large portion of the produce comes from farmers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, meats are purchased from farms that focus on humane practices, oys-ters come from a single hand-picked Mid-Atlantic purveyor, and with 65 beers on tap, the emphasis is on local craft beers from the tri-state region.
Pope says local diners have responded and she hopes they’ll continue to be able to offer new families a memorable dining experience.
“Families can relax here, they don’t have to worry about their kids getting loud or rowdy, but at the same time they’ll still be getting that quality food and that quality dining ex-perience they want. The whole idea was to price it accessible to families, while keeping the food fresh. It’s different, it’s special, it’s something you won’t find in close proximity. There is real passion and real love here, and we hope that’s evident in everything we do.” •

“Boston, Romaine, there’s the red leaf and the green leaf, there’s a row of iceberg,” that’s Frank Ferrucci point-ing to his rows of sprouting crops growing at Summer Wind Farms, his organic farm in Franklin Township, which includes an organic CSA (community supported agriculture program).
CSAs, which have gained popularity over the last de-cade, are a simple concept. Much like buying stock, sub-scribers received a share of the profits, well in this case, crops, each week. Paying a flat fee at the start of the sea-son, they share the risks with the farmer in a business that is so tied to the unpredictability of nature and the weather. It’s caught on, though, as a way to not only sup-port local farmers, but have a variety of produce pack-aged and ready to enjoy each week.
“Broccoli, Napa cabbage, green cabbage, red cab-bage, savoy cabbage, bok choy, baby bok choy,” Ferrucci continues the tour, “bell peppers, Cuban peppers, cherry peppers, habanero peppers, jalapeno peppers...”
The dozens of vegetables Ferrucci grows all go into his subscribers’ weekly allotments. The farm also pro-duces cucumber and tomato varieties for wholesale, most of which are shipped to the south, says Ferrucci.
With an organic farm market in Medford and tailgate markets in Haddon Heights, Haddonfield and one start-ing in Cape May County, the farm has further expanded its reach. Their transplant greenhouse grows organic container plants for home gardeners, including herb bowls and hanging tomato baskets.
The history of Summer Wind is the quintessential Jer-sey family farm tale. Ferrucci is the fourth-generation farmer in his family. His great-grandfather emigrated from the Abruzzi mountain village of Tufara and eventu-ally settled in Franklin Township, where the farm began. Ferrucci recalls growing up living adjacent to his grand-
parents and being able to run between houses and fishing in the family’s cranberry bogs. Things got busier as Ferrucci grew to assume his role on the family farm. During his college years at Rowan around a decade ago, Ferrucci divided his time between hitting the books and the soil, sometimes rushing to class before he had time to change out of his work clothes. Studying the busi-ness of farming, Ferrucci says there’s no replacement for growing up on a farm and learning first hand the tricks of the trade. Making the switch to organic, which hap-pened under his management of the farm, has proven to be a learning experience in itself. But Ferrucci has some family guidance.
“My dad helps me, I always run things by him. I always looked at the organic side of this industry and I started meeting people in the industry and it just sort of evolved that way. Like most farmers, it’s trial and error, like in any business. We were growing outside, then we decided to move to the greenhouse tunnels. I would like to do more high tunnels, we aren’t where I want to be yet.”
Ferrucci has a lot more planned for the future beyond just greenhouses, including expanding into the world of growing fruit, which he’s begun, starting with organic figs, blueberries, strawberries and soon brambles (rasp-berry/blackberry hybrid).
What currently stands out on Ferrucci’s farm? Well, de-spite despising peas, Ferrucci says he even likes the fresh peas he grows.
“You open the pod and they taste like candy, not like peas.”
But his favorite thing to cook that he grows are his long hot peppers, which Ferrucci stuffs with mozzarella and prosciutto before roasting in the oven with a little salt, pepper and garlic.
“Next to that, I love a good fresh Jersey tomato salad. Just take some tomatoes, pour a little good balsamic vinegar, some good extra virgin olive oil, some fresh ba-sil, salt, pepper and garlic, add some fresh Italian bread and you can make a meal out of that...and I do! That’s probably my favorite thing to grow and eat. I’ve always liked growing tomatoes, now all I do are organic toma-toes.”
Ferrucci’s tomatoes include yellow beefsteak, red beefsteak, grape tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and two different types of heirlooms and hybrid heirlooms.
If it sounds like Ferrucci knows a thing or two about
cooking his produce, that’s no accident. With a passion for cooking, these crops aren’t just profit for this local farmer, they’re what’s for dinner.
“I don’t get to the farm markets that often because I have to take care of the production side, but I really like getting to talk to the customers with the CSA when they come to pick up their shares. I really like to cook, it’s like therapy for me and I like to eat, too, so my favorite ques-tion is, ‘How would you make that?’ and I’ll tell them and give them some suggestions and a lot of times they’ll try it and they’ll come back and tell me or my dad, ‘That was a really good recipe!’ “
For Ferrucci, part of the appeal of the CSA are these interactions.
“I think it’s important for people to know where their food comes from and have a relationship with the farm-er.”
The idea for the farm to branch out to providing a lo-cal CSA for Gloucester County residents began when Ferrucci’s wife suggested it might be worth considering.
“We’d been talking about it for about a year. Because of the retail farm markets, we have to grow a wide vari-ety of produce, two rows of this, a half a row of that...so we decided we could just plant a little more and do the CSA.”
Ferrucci did his research and asked friends who had been shareholders at other farms about their experi-ence.
“A friend of mine was a subscriber and he said after a while you get tired of eating bok choy for six weeks in a row,” Ferrucci explained with a laugh. “But from a farm-er’s perspective, that’s what’s in that time of year. But I get you can only have so much salad. So when I planned our CSA, I was thinking what would I want to see in my box and what could I grow that will pair well together.”
Although a CSA subscription rarely eliminates the need to grocery shop, Ferrucci is doing what he can to make subscribers’ shopping list a little shorter, by plant-ing crops so they all yield produce at the right times and adding touches like fresh herbs to the assortment.
“These here are the fresh peas, they’re going to make a vine and we’ll put them on the trellis and let them climb, here’s kale, winter squash, butternut squash, this is fresh onion, they’re better than vidalias, they’re so sweet. Here are potatoes, probably about six or seven different types of potatoes here...” and Ferrucci’s growing list goes on. •

Today I am preparing a variety of ka-bobs and this is to change the tailgate up a little from the ordinary sandwiches and grilling items. We are having Sausage, Chicken, and Shrimp kabobs.
First you want to get the meat or sea-food items you are using and portion into inch to inch and half cubes.
For shrimp use a jumbo size, cleaned and take the shell off.
Marinate in your favorite seasoning, in this case the sausage is done in a steak marinade, the chicken is done Italian style and the shrimp has a delicious honey soy lime glaze. To make Enrico’s Soy Lime Glaze, grab 4 ounces of soy sauce, which-ever is your preference, 1/2 ounce fresh shaved ginger, juice from 2 limes and 2 ounces of honey and stir together to cre-ate a marinade and brush on kabobs.
For the Italian marinade, mix 4 ounces of olive oil or extra virgin olive oil. 2 cloves of garlic, a pinch of crushed red pepper, 1/2 ounce kosher salt, 1/2 ounce black
pepper, 4 basil leaves diced and the juice from one lemon. After it’s mixed together, you can brush it on the kabobs. For bet-ter marinade results blend all ingredients in food processor and marinate kabobs over night.
Prepare your vegetables, onions, cher-ry tomatoes, mushrooms and peppers and cube them all around the same size. Get about 10 one-inch bamboo skew-ers and soak them in water for about an hour so when grilling they do not burn. After everything is marinated, you want to skewer the meats and vegetables, al-ternating them so they are separated by each other.
When finished preparing them, grill evenly until the meat and seafood are fully cooked and serve. Enjoy and this is Chef Enrico's Recipe of the Month. For your Party convenience you can call Bot-to's and pre- order your kabobs ready for the grill. •

SwedesboroFishermen, hunters and farmers...those were the early residents
of what would become the town of Swedesboro. The fi rst Euro-pean settlers originated from Sweden and Finland, hence the present name, Swedesboro. It would be for a few hundred years however, before the name would offi cially change from its Lenape name, “Raccoon.”
King’s Highway is a road that area residents drive down on a regular basis, but it began as a road constructed by the English Co-lonial government to connect Burlington and Salem counties. This road brought many new residents to the area, who were drawn to the open land, natural resources and rich forests. Over the de-cades, the town expanded, with churches, merchants and taverns added. Today it continues to develop with a bustling Main Street.
But Swedesboro hasn’t forgotten its history. In fact, many of the residential homes and businesses still retain their original home “names” and don plaques with their years of construction. Take the “Stroll Through Swedesboro” House Walking Tour and you’ll dis-cover it for yourself. Beginning at the northern end of Downtown Swedesboro at New Sweden Park, it continues south to Richard-son Avenue, and then moves to the eastern side of Kings High-way, returning north to New Sweden Park. Highlights of the tour include prime examples of Victorian era architecture and sites listed on State and National Registries of Historic Places. These include the John C. Rulon House, Mortenson/Van Leer Log Cabin, Richardson Avenue School, and Trinity “Old Swedes” Church. You can download the brochure at www.historicswedesboro.com. And for those that aren’t afraid to venture a little further off the beaten path, there’s also a cemetery walking tour that covers “Old Swedes” Church Cemetery, Lake Park Cemetery and several others. Here you can see the fi nal resting places of veterans dating as far back as the American Revolution.
Although Swedesboro has a storied past, it also has a vital present day. “Swedesboro is a quaint town,” says Peter Curran, president of The Greater Swedesboro Business Association. “Kings Highway is the main road that runs straight through Swedesboro. Along both sides of Kings Highway are many businesses, from an auto repair shop (Schoener’s, since 1931) to legal offi ces (Mattioni Law and Adams and Adams Law), Trinity “Old Swedes” Episcopal

Church, a bakery (Sweetsboro Pastry Shop, awesome!), pizza shop, Chinese take-out, real estate agency, accoun-tants, a Mexican restaurant, limo service company, a boutique, and two great restaurants: Botto’s Italian Line (a local icon, great food) and the newer Tavro Thirteen.”
Curran explains that The Greater Swedesboro Business Association was founded over 50 years ago. “Its stated objectives are to preserve the Swedes-boro downtown business district and any other developing are in the Swedes-boro community, to part of, and take part in, local civic affairs and to support educational and charitable endeavors that are in the interest of the greater Swedesboro community.” Every year the association and the borough co-sponsor the Christmas Parade and a
Memorial Day Service. “The GSBA gives a yearly scholarship to a deserving King-sway High School student,” adds Curran. “We purchased and maintain the down-town clock. We gave the library laptops last year. For us to be able to give back to the community, we not only collect dues, but we also run an annual golf tournament.”
Outside of town, at Swedesboro Lake Park, you can take a break from town life and enjoy some nature, with fi shing, boating, a series of hiking trails, play-grounds and the annual summertime favorite: Movie Night in the park.
Free kayaking lessons are offered twice during the summer.
“It’s a nice town. You can park your car, walk around a bit, check out the shops, have a beer and lunch,” adds Curran.

WoolwichTownship
Adjacent to Swedesboro to the south, Woolwich has experienced a population explosion in the last decade, doubling the number of residents from what it was at the turn of the millennium. Best known as being the birthplace of long-time Phillies favorite, shortstop Jim-my Rollins, the area can look further to an expansion in business and retail construction. Popular stops in the township include two winer-ies: DiBella Winery and Auburn Road Winery. DiBella will be making an appearance at the Washington Lake Park Wine Festival on June 27 and 28. Auburn Road hosts a full calendar of events, including Thursday evening Happy Hours and Acoustic Jams. Saturday nights feature bands on their Vineyard stage and on June 21 they’ll host a Father’s Day Picnic.
LoganTownship
To the north, overlooking the Delaware River and the Raccoon Creek, lies Logan Township. Interestingly enough, Logan began under the name West Woolwich Township. After only a year it was changed to Logan, for the Union Army General, John Alexander “Black Jack” Logan, who is probably better known as the originator of Memorial Day as a National holiday.
Cedarvale Winery in Logan is hosting several summer events, in-cluding a painting/wine tasting party at the Mullica Hill Arts Center and Sunday yoga workshops at their vineyard. •

1. Although it might not be for everyone, there’s one way to explore new heights while staying close to home. Just look up, and your destination awaits. Freefall
Adventures Skydiving in Monroe takes care of all the rest. For anyone who has jump-ing out of an airplane on their bucket list, here’s your chance. Freefall operates seven days a week, so they’re ready whenever you are. And after you’ve conquered any fear of heights, cap the day off with a trip to the Trio Tavern. This Williamstown pub faced down its own challenge when it nearly burned to the ground. Back and fully remod-eled, settle your nerves here with a cold one.
2. Head to Pitman. First stop, the Bus Stop Music Café, of course. This organic restaurant/record store/music instrument repair shop/performance spac-
es/OK enough slashes. But it defi nitely shows what an eclectic vibe this spot has got going on. Don’t forget to order a Janis Choplin wrap. And if you’re lucky enough to visit Pitman on a fourth Friday, you’ll be treated to live music, food and fun throughout the neighborhood. If that wasn’t enough entertainment, check out the gorgeous French Revival Broadway Theatre, which features both live entertainment and classic fi lms.
3. Glassboro might be known for its history, but start your trip to the town with the Williamstown Biking & Hiking Trail. Travel the continuous 7.5 mile-
long Multi-Purpose Trail, which is a completely paved off-road trail where bikers and hikers alike can enjoy the wooded surroundings. Switch gears and head to Heritage Glass Museum. The free museum displays amber bottles, jars, glassware and glass blowing tools.
4. Take a trip to Woodbury for both history and entertainment. The Sketch Club Players present mainstage plays and children’s theater productions
each season. With its quaint, intimate setting in the historic West End Schoolhouse, there’s never a bad seat in the house. Sketch Club Players also holds the distinction as being the oldest, continuously performing community theater group in South Jersey.
While in Woodbury, check out the Gloucester County Historic Society Museum. The Hunter-Lawrence-Jessup House Museum houses a collection of local artifacts and is open select weekdays and the last Sunday of each month from 2-5 p.m.
5. Get your motor running at the Bridgeport Speedway, Gloucester County’s only performance cut stock car race track. Here, you can not only take in
some fast cars, you can enjoy live performances from local bands, food and more. While in the area, take part in Swedesboro’s Walking Tour. Each tour highlights the Victorian architecture of the area, while pointing out local, state and national historic locations. •

Travel is great for new adventures, but no matter how stamped your passport or how hefty your frequent fl ier miles are, there always comes a weekend or two during the summer when it’s nice to just stay near home base. But that doesn’t mean things have to be any less exciting. Here we present you with fi ve day trip adventures, all within the Gloucester County limits.

Non Invasive Sound Wave Treatment For Headaches And Chronic Pain By Matt Cosentino
For 30 years, Peggy Montgom-ery waged a constant battle with migraine headaches. It seemed no matter what doctor she saw or what treatment she tried, she always came out on the losing side.
Then one day she came across an article about Dr. John Sandoz, a South Jersey chiropractor who uses a unique sound wave treatment for problems of the spine. When Mont-gomery learned that a misalignment in her upper neck area could be con-tributing to her headaches, and that the Advanced Orthogonal Proce-dure utilized by Sandoz could help, she figured it was worth a shot.
Soon her struggle with migraines was a thing of the past.
“I had really bad migraines for a long time,” said Montgomery, a longtime Berlin resident who now lives in Lansdowne, Pa. “I practi-cally lived at one chiropractor’s of-fice; I was there three times a week, and I couldn’t get rid of them. Then I saw in a magazine about Dr. John and I read everything being said, so I figured, ‘What’s it going to hurt?’
“I made an appointment and it didn’t take long for me to see a dif-ference, and now I have been mi-graine-free for the last 15 years.”
Sandoz has been a practicing chi-ropractor for more than 30 years, and for the first 13 of those years he used a traditional approach focusing on manual manipulations. Today, he is joined at Sandoz Chiropractic in Mount Laurel by his son, Dr. Joshua Sandoz, and their alignments are done strictly through sound waves, with no twisting or manipulation of the neck.
The elder Sandoz first became aware of the Advanced Orthogo-nal Procedure after battling his own chronic neck injury, which led him to the originator of the technique, Atlanta chiropractor Dr. Roy Sweat.
“I saw 30 different chiropractors in eight years,” he said. “I had this chronic neck and back problem that everybody helped for a short period of time, but nobody could fix. I went
and saw Dr. Sweat down in Atlan-ta, and after a week of treatment, a chronic eight-year problem went away.”
Sandoz became a student of the technique and began using it in his own practice in the spring of 1994. The procedure focuses on the upper neck area and the top two vertebrae of the spine, called the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2). An unresolved mis-alignment in these vertebrae can dis-rupt brain-to-body communication, resulting in numerous dysfunctions or diseases throughout the body.
The Advanced Orthogonal Pro-cedure uses X-rays and digital com-puter software to analyze the mis-alignment. The analysis provides exact mathematical coordinates for the spinal correction, which is indi-vidually calculated for each patient.
The treatment is delivered by a percussion sound wave instrument and results in a correction that San-doz has observed lasts for a much longer period of time than a tradi-tional, manual alignment.
“The idea is to get the exact coor-dinates to put into the instrument,” Sandoz said. “There is no guess-work. The X-rays are like our GPS system. That’s what we rely on to get the most specific correction pos-sible.”
Out of nearly 70,000 chiroprac-tors in the United States, John and Josh Sandoz are two of about 200 doing this type of work, and are two of just 70 with Advanced Orthogo-nal certification.
“My own son [Josh] had chronic migraines when he was 9 or 10 years
old. For about 18 months straight, I probably adjusted my son every single day to give him some form of relief to his chronic condition. After his first Atlas correction with this procedure, he didn’t get a headache for 45 days.”
Sandoz’s patients have similar stories to share about the treatment. Burlington native Chris Sabatino had never been to a chiropractor and was unfamiliar with Sandoz’s unique method when he was re-ferred to the doctors after suffering a back injury. Now he sees Sandoz on a regular basis.
“I had some lower back issues,” Sabatino said. “My massage thera-pist that I used recommended Dr. John and Dr. Josh, and I’ve been happy ever since the day I started going to them.”
Since becoming a patient, Mont-gomery has always tried to spread the word about Sandoz Chiroprac-tic. It took many years, but she fi-nally convinced her husband to give the treatment a try.
“I kept telling my husband about it. Finally, I talked him into it and he started going last week because he did something to his back,” Mont-gomery said. “Now he is being helped. The chiropractor [he] was going to, he was just doing manual manipulations and that’s it.
“That’s the thing with Dr. John: If he can’t help you, he’ll keep trying to figure out what’s wrong with your body. He cares about his patients so much.”
And that is the overall philoso-phy at Sandoz Chiropractic. They believe that no matter how fancy the treatment methods may get, the bottom line is to handle the patients with care and understanding.
“We want to be modern in our approach and have the most up-to-date treatments,” Sandoz said. “In addition to the Advanced Orthogo-nal treatment, we have many other state-of-the-art treatments to help people with their chronic pain and for their overall health.” ✦
