s millions of parents plan their childrens sum-
mer activities, where can they find informa-
tion about the ideal camping experience? So
many advertisements, using pictures of happy, smiling
children, make it difficult to determine between
high-quality camps and mediocre operations.
Parents investigating particular camp programs
should contact the American Camp Association
(ACA) at www.acacamps.org. Its website provides
great resources for selecting the best camp.
As there is no federal regulation of summer
camps, the ACA serves an important purpose by
maintaining very tough accreditation standards.
The group regularly monitors American day and
overnight camps, even conducting on-site visits
every three years. While voluntary to belong, most
reputable camp operators seek ACA approval.
Camping numbers have remained relatively sta-
ble since 2008, despite the economic downturn.
Statistics show that almost two-thirds have main-
tained or increased their enrolment; 10 percent
have grown to full capacity, and 35 percent are
more than 90 percent full.
Of the 12,000 American camps, 8,000 are run by
non-profit youth agencies and religious organiza-
tions; independent operators runs 4,000 as busi-
nesses. Approximately 7,000 are overnight camps;
5,000 are day camps. A small group15 percentof
ACA-accredited camps offer both types.

arly last year, students and faculty at Sacred
Heart High School gathered in the schools gym-
nasium to receive word from Monsignor John
Burton that the schools closure had been delayed by a
new five-year sustainment plan. The news, unexpected
as it was, created a wave of joy and excitement that
washed over everyone involved.
One year later, that joy has been replaced by bitter
heartbreak. On April 11, the Sacred Heart family once
again gathered for an announcement from Burton, this
time to hear the news they thought they had escaped:
The Diocese of Camden would be closing their school
after June 30. There would not be another reprieve.
The decision was final.
Its a disheartening end for a school that so many in
the community have rallied around.
Despite the best efforts of the Save Sacred Heart
Committee and their five-year plan, and the generous
donations from so many who had passed through the
schools halls in the past, which amounted to $1.2 mil-
lion in total, Sacred Heart simply couldnt overcome the
floundering enrollment that has plagued it over the last
decade. In the end, that would be the chief culprit in
the schools closure.
The enrollment goal for a sustainable high school
was set by the Board of Limited Jurisdictionmembers
of which were appointed from the Save Scared Heart
Committee by the dioceseat 220 students. And while
the school could break even at a lesser number, losing
52 seniors to graduation while only recruiting 23 stu-
dents for next years freshmen class left them well short

Thumbs Up
Our columnist gives the late film critic Roger Ebert
the thumbs-up on a career that spanned decades.
T
he recent passing of film critic
Roger Ebert has left a gaping
hole in the field of journalism.
A long-time reviewer for the
Chicago Sun-Times, Ebert was one of the
few remaining old school movie critics
whose writing conveyed an understand-
ing of film history, directors oeuvres and
cinematic language. A portion of those
qualities were learned in a college class-
room. The rest was culled from living and
breathing movies and transforming his
love of the art into prose, which earned
him the first Pulitzer Prize ever awarded
to a film critic.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ebert 10
years ago at one of his speaking engage-
ments in Cherry Hill. My wifes place of
employment was the sponsor of his
appearance and I was able to tag along. A
dinner preceding the event had been
planned at the home of one of the organ-
izers of the talk.
At the time I remained somewhat
ambivalent about the possibility of meet-
ing the co-host of Sneak Previews and At
the Movies, the syndicated shows in
which Ebert and a fellow journalist prof-
fered their evaluations of that weeks new
movie releases, rating them with a gladia-
torial thumb up/thumb down. While I
was engaged by the thoughtful discus-
sions of the films, the occasional combat-
ive moments between the reviews seemed
a bit contrived and the reduction of a
films value to an arbitrary system where-
by an appendage determined whether or
not someone should see the feature
seemed a bit questionable. But as a writer
and educator, I was drawn to Ebert for
his journalistic skills and his knowledge
of a medium for which I shared a passion.
My wife, her co-worker and I were
welcomed to the home of the couple host-
ing the dinner party. Waiting for the guest
of honor, we engaged in polite conversa-
tion with other guests. The house was
electric in anticipation of Eberts arrival.
When he walked through the door,
guests began grouping around him, shak-
ing hands and offering introductions as
we watched. And then the Chicago critic
was whisked over to the hors doeuvres
table to begin a round of conversations
with each group of people. By the time he
reached our area, I had given up hope of
officially meeting him, let alone chatting
with him. And I never did officially shake
his hand. No, what happened was much
more gratifying than that.
As Ebert bantered pleasantly about cur-
rent movies suggested by other guests, the
subject of the Steven Soderbergh remake
of Russian directors Andrei Tarkovskys
Solaris came up. My wifes co-worker iden-
tified me and mentioned that I had been
teaching the original film in one of my
classes. Ebert turned to me, his eyes flash-
ing excitedly. Really? he asked, initiating
a brief but gratifying discussion of
Tarkovskys films before graciously turning
the conversation back to the other guests.
After dinner, my wife, who was set to
introduce Ebert at the talk, rode with him
in his limousine, reviewing the introduc-
tion he had given her. I drove to the nearby
school separately and, upon arrival, was
asked to stand guard outside the classroom
where Ebert was already preparing for his
lecture by sitting in a chair, hands folded
across his chest, eyes shut, relaxed and
focused on what he would be discussing
over the next hour with an audience much
larger than the one with whom he had
shared dinner. It was the final glimpse I
had of Ebert in a private setting, and its
the image that was conjured when I heard
the news of his death.
I learned later that, as my wife entered
the limo earlier that evening, Ebert asked
where I was. When she told him I had to
drive her car to the school, she noticed
his disappointment. I regret missing that
opportunity to continue our conversation.
I may not have always agreed with
Eberts evaluations (his vicious swipe at
Bob Dylans Masked and Anonymous is
still a particular sore point), but no one
needs to agree with everything he wrote
to understand that his articles exhibit
considerable knowledge of film, demon-
strating, as his New York Times obituary
stated, that one can bring standards of
judgment to movies. I

The speaker for the meeting was Patti

helpful information about care giving
for loved ones. She said care givers
should take advantage of support
groups and when people ask if they
can help don't hesitate to accept their
help. The caregiver needs respite

Detective Discusses Internet Safety
Detective Dwayne Watkins from the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office
visited members of the Boys & Girls Club of Vineland's Almond Road School site
to speak about Cyber Bullying and Internet Safety. The kids really enjoyed his
presentation on Internet Safety and some of the issues discussed, included sexual
predators and how not everyone on the internet is who they say they are. He also
discussed what not to post on social networking sights, sexting and more.
Detective Watkins touched on cyber bullying and what to do if you or someone
you know is being cyber bullied. The Club members were very engaged in the
conversation and they were excited to ask questions and talk to a "real" detective.

Delsea Holds Senior Citizen Prom
Delsea Regional High School held
their 15th annual Senior Citizen Prom
on Friday, April 12, in the high school
gym. The event was part of the dis-
tricts commitment to service learning
and teaching students to give back to
their community. This years theme was
A Salute to America complete with
food, decorations, JROTC presentation,
Concert Choir, Step Team and other
various student performers. The mem-
bers of the Franklin and Elk Township
senior citizen clubs were invited to be
the recipients of the fun.
The members of the Delta Eta Sigma
society led by advisor Tanya
Mastrokyriakos planned a delicious
luncheon, games, and student perform-
ances to entertain their guests.
The goal of the program is to lead the students involved to have an under-
standing of the positive benefits of working to not only bridge the generation gap
but also reap the benefits of stronger community for everyone. Every year, the
students look forward to this event while the seniors enjoy an afternoon with
their communitys youth.
Community service can take many forms that are a benefit in many ways.
Having both ends of the generations come together for a day of fun and enter-
tainment is a bond that has enduring results. Delsea Regional High School is a
state and national service-learning leader school.

The purpose of the Federal-State
Market Improvement Program grants are
to develop innovative ways to benefit
farmers. A significant market opportunity
exists if the seasonal availability of New
Jersey Agricultural products to the school
meals program could be expanded.
Annually, more than 800,000 pounds of
locally grown fruits and vegetables are
distributed to schools under a coopera-
tive agreement with the U.S. Department
of Defense.
The Department of Agriculture is
actively engaged in connecting schools
with farmers and local produce distribu-
Continued from previous page
tors to bring more New Jersey produce
into the school meals program. The
Department, in cooperation with the New
Jersey Farm to School Network cele-
brates Farm to School Week the last week
in September to promote the states agri-
cultural industry and encourage children
and their families to increase their con-
sumption of fresh produce. The week also
seeks to educate about the health benefits
of eating fruits and vegetables and show
the connection between a healthy diet
and success in school.
Through the Farm to School program,
schools throughout New Jersey can
source more than 100 types of Jersey
Fresh produce grown here in the Garden
State. Opportunities exist for state farm-
ers to provide agricultural products to
school food service departments through-
out the growing season. The object of
serving healthy meals in school cafeterias
is to improve student nutrition, provide
health and nutrition education opportuni-
ties that will last a lifetime, as well as
support local farmers.

Master Gardeners at the
Cohanzick Zoo
On Wednesday, April 17, five members

planting at the Cohanzick Zoo in
