The Positive Press welcomes submissions of an informative
and positive nature about the towns we cover. Information
must be typed and must include name, affiliation, address,
phone, fax, email address.
MAY 30TH
WE WELCOME YOUR INPUT
All info must be submitted by email. Please put the name of
the article and photo in the subject line. Our ability to photograph community events is limited. Photos must be sent as
attachments – not inserted in the body of the email in a text
page. They must be very high resolution. When downloading
photos the program may have already been programmed, or
may ask when you are downloading:
• Do you want to make the file smaller so that it takes up
less room and transmits faster? Your answer is no. You
want it to be as large as possible so that we get the highest resolution for publishing as possible – over 1,000
pixels at a minimum. If the res is not high enough we
may only be able to get the photo as large as a one inch
square which would be unusable.
Photos must be in either .jpg or .pdf format, and named to
match the article or they will be returned. For example: PHS,
Reunion-1, PHS, Reunion-2, etc. Caption info must be included (Pictured (l-r) are Kathy, Susie, and Big Bob. Photo
by (full name of photographer).

ing. We were also the first team to wear
white uniforms and, yes, to have a white
football.
The 3 memories remain fresh for
more than 70 years. The bond has not
been broken. Al lived on a five acre horse
farm in Grants Pass, Oregon
and passed at the age of 95.
He means as much to me and
the town of Riverside as he
did in the 40s. Imagine if
you can, in 1945 we showed
up for practice and Al Wister,
Pro-tackle for the Eagles was
in charge of our program! It
was a great feeling to have a
pro-tackle as your coach – a
once in a lifetime. He was
like a Dad and I never heard
him curse. He had respect
for everyone – players and
coaches.
Al brought the T-formation to Riverside and South
Jersey. We used the same
plays as the Philadelphia Eagles. Al left Riverside in 1947 when he became Captain of the Philadelphia Eagles.
His responsibilities prevented him to continue as coach for RHS. Mr. Charles
Lehman and Mr. Joseph “Rocky” Cancellieri became our coaches.

With the passing of Al Wister, I
thought I would tell you about this great
football player, outstanding man and personal friend who also was a player for the
Philadelphia Eagles from 1943 to 1951.
He was All-Pro Tackle for five years and
was Captain of the 1947, 48
and 49 teams.
Al came to Riverside
High School in 1945 to coach
in my freshman year. A man
by the name of Morris Murphy, President of the Riverside Board of Education
knew the head coach of the
Philadelphia Eagles and he
introduced Al Wister to Mr.
Murphy. That was the beginning of a great relationship. In 1945 Riverside High
School won 3 games, lost 6
and tied 1. But then came
the great team of 1946. We
won 10 games, scoring 272
points, losing to the Rocky
Mt. NC 18-0 on Sept. 13th,
Friday and losing to Moorestown 18-0 in
the rain. We broke the record of the outstanding 1931 Team of 223 points. In the
1940s we were the first team to travel out
of State to play football and we were the
first team to play under permanent light-

the tree being 100 years old, not close to

Palmyra High School History teacher Mr. Sheel took a group of his World History students to Rutgers Camden on March 24th. The students took part in a symposium titled, Involving Youth in Local Government Decision Making. They participated in group
discussions and interacted with two current members of the Palmyra Town Council,
Mr. Timothy Howard and Miss Shelby Tucker. This symposium was a great opportunity for our students to step out of the classroom and take advantage of a very informative conference. Our students did a great job representing the high school and the
town of Palmyra.
WORLD CULTURE DAY
The world language department of Palmyra High School celebrated its annual “World
Culture Day” on March 24, 2016. This year’s theme was “Myths and Legends.” Students in Spanish and German classes created posters explaining a myth and its country of origin. They also made a recipe to go with that country. All students and staff
were invited to attend and answer scavenger hunt questions about the myths and
earn tickets to try the food. Staff also voted on the best posters. Congrats to Angelica
Johnson and Shannon Pollard who won for Best Overall poster, Carolyn VanArtsdalen, Katie Stein and Janelle Belton, who won for most artistic poster and Megan
Yanick, Bethany McGuire and Becca Lake who won for most informative poster.

SCHOOL PLAY MUSIC MAN
The Palmyra Players brought the PHS Auditorium back to 1912 in "SWELL" fashion
with their Music Man, Jr. performance the weekend of March 11th. They played to
a sellout crowd on opening night, Friday, with performances also on Saturday and
Sunday. The audience only had great things to say about the 7th-12th graders on the
stage. The vision of using members of our Marching Band for the finale was seen to
fruition & the small contingent was a force that rounded out the theme of the "boys
band" in our very own River City.

Celebrating 150 Years
Preserving Riverside’s History for Future Generations
By Alice M. Smith, President • 856-764-1420 • Riverside Historical Society
This recently donated picture of the
Cleveland & Hendricks Club is an early
visual of Riverside’s Democratic Club.
The photograph gives us a glimpse of
what political campaigning was like in
the 1880s. Notice the placard in the background. Remember that Riverside was
part of Delran Township and remained so
until Riverside legally formed its own
township on February 20, 1895. Both
towns were part of Cinnaminson until
1880. Prior to 1880 these communities
were part of a larger area known as
Chester formed in
1688.
Dorothy Sminkey’s
publication, part of our
archives and often referred to in our column,
gives additional information about the political club. On page 15 in
her book of copied
Riverside newspaper
columns
found
in
Burlington
County
newspapers, the news reported on September 20,
1884 may hold the clue to
identifying this group of men
as the Pioneer Corps, which
was attached to the Cleveland & Hendricks Club.
They numbered twenty-five
men. They procured their uniforms and on Monday evening
they made their first appearance and paraded around town. They looked very well.
Several months prior to procuring their
uniforms the Democrats had an informal
meeting at Hafner's…when they proposed
to put Conrad H. Yearly up for Justice of
the Peace next Spring. In November of
that year Riverside was convulsed at the
spectacle of John Weber, one of the Township's Republican leaders paying his election bet by wheeling Conrad Yearly from
the Republican to the Democratic headquarters.
Several years later in October 1887,
newspaper accounts make public the
names of the men chosen to represent the
Democratic Club at the Democrat Assembly Convention at Moorestown. They
were Charles Heiss, Issacher Meeks,
Charles G. Hatcher, August Kluge, Edward Yearly and Charles Young.
They met at Hafner’s Hall. Another article about the November
7th Riverside election reports that
the political fight in this Township,
which will be settled tomorrow, in
favor of the whole Democratic
ticket, by an increased majority, is

So what are our library patrons
reading? The following are books recently
bought by the library.
The Steel Kiss by Jeffrey Deaver. (A
Lincoln Rhyme novel) Amelia Sachs is on
the trail of a killer through a
department store in Brooklyn. While trying
to save a person on a malfunctioning
escalator, the killer escapes. She and
forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme soon learn
that the incident may have not been an
accident after all, but the first in a series of
international acts.
The Friends We Keep by Susan Mallery.
Susan Mallery makes a visit to her Mischief
Bay series. Mallery follows three best
friends living in a California town as they
confront questions about motherhood,
marriage and love. Reading a Mallery book
is like catching up with old friends.
The Opposite of Everyone by Joshilyn
Jackson. Born in Alabama, Paula Vauss
spent the first decade of her life on the road
with her free-spirted young mother, Kia, an
itinerant storyteller who blended Hindu
mythology with southern oral tradition to
reinvent their history. Kia lands in prison
and Paula in foster care. Their intense bond
once shared is shattered.
She’s Not There by Joy Fielding. On a
celebratory trip to Mexico with her friends
and husband, Caroline Shipley’s infant
daughter, Samantha, gets kidnapped.
Fifteen years later when the phone rings,
Caroline hears the sweet voice of a girl
claiming to be her daughter. When she
starts to figure it all out, she finds the
answers dangerously close to home.

imagine what the ‘political fight’ was like
130 years ago with their fancy uniforms
and battle axes; probably not much different from the campaign tactics of 2016.

A 1962 COMMUNITY CALENDAR SHOWS PRIDE
Recently, a “Community Calendar” from 1962 was found among some other very
interesting Delran memorabilia. A Community Calendar you say? What could that be?
Well, in times not that long ago, it was a small symbol of personal trust and
community pride that subtly reinforced and described our relationship with one another
and our community. It has been many years since the openness and pride in our
community has taken this shape.
This calendar was put together and sold as a fundraiser in support of one of our local
fire companies by its Ladies Auxiliary. On the face of it was a picture of the firehouse and
advertisements from hometown businesses. Within the content of the monthly tear-off
sheets were names of donors who paid to have their birthdays noted or their wedding
anniversaries listed on the days on which they occurred. Meeting dates, President’s
birthdays, and yearly holidays were also defined in print.
As we looked over the business advertisers, it became somewhat of a shock to see
that all of them except one, Horace McCurdy Insurance, have disappeared from our local
landscape and are just a faded memory of “when.” What changed in our town that
prompted all of these hometown residents to close their businesses? These owners all
lived in Delran and made their living
here. Most were not able to pass the
reigns down to the next generation for
whatever reason. A few just got too
old to continue and had no one to pass
their legacy onto when the time came.
Sadly some got replaced by a bridge.
Sadly and happily, those days
have passed. Those of us who still
“remember when” miss our happy
days of what seemed to be a simpler
time. We wouldn’t think of putting
our
birthdays
or
wedding
anniversaries on a community
calendar today. Identity theft comes
to mind! When we talk with our
children about those “days gone by”,
they can’t understand how those
simpler times could have been fun.
With no computers or cell phones,
what would we do? I guess a lot of
personal contact and being together
with one’s friends and a sense of
grassroots community pride was all it
took to be proud to be from Delran.

THE FINAL EXAM
There were four final year senior
students taking chemistry and all of them
had an 'A' so far. These four friends were
so confident that the weekend before finals,
they decided to visit some friends and have
a big party. They had a great time but,
after all the hearty partying, they slept all
day Sunday and didn't make it back to
Florida State until early Monday morning.
Rather than taking the final then,
they decided that after the final they would
explain to their professor why they missed
it. They said that they visited friends but
on the way back they had a flat tire. As a

result, they missed the final. The professor
agreed they could make up the final the
next day. The guys were excited and
relieved. They studied that night for the
exam.
The next day the professor placed
them in separate rooms and gave them a
test booklet. They quickly answered the
first problem worth 5 points. Cool, they
thought! Each one, in a separate room,
thought this was going to be easy ... then
they turned the page
On the second page was written...
For 95 points: Which tire? _________

WALKING WITH FALKOR 13
When last we heard
from the Turtle Lady,
she was in the middle
of the creek with a
giant
snapping
turtle, and the tide
was coming in. I’ll
let her take it from
here.
As the water got
deeper, I remembered
that I still had the
pointy stick! (I told you it
was important!) So I poked
at the turtle’s foot, and he turned
around and lunged out of the cage.
Back then, I knew very little about
snapping turtles, and was certain
that it was going to eat me.
Screaming at the top of my lungs,
scrambling up the muddy bank as
fast as I could, I managed to escape.
When I collapsed at the top of the
bank, I saw that the turtle was
heading in the other direction as fast
as he could, trying to get away from
me. That’s when I decided to learn as
much as I could about snappers.
I spent the next several months
watching the local turtles, and
reading everything I could about
them. I realized that humans were
much more dangerous to the turtles
than they were to us. We pollute
their watery homes, and continuous
development takes away their
nesting sites.
Just like turkey
vultures clean up road kill, snappers
eat the half-eaten fish and rotting
plants that other creatures leave
behind. They work harder to keep the
water clean than anyone, and deserve
some help. I started putting up
“turtle crossing” signs, and teaching
the neighborhood children about
them.
One little girl in particular was
as avid a turtle lover as I am, and
found a big snapper laying eggs in her
yard. She was so excited that she ran
to my house to tell me, but was so
overwrought and out of breath, she
couldn’t remember my name, and just
kept saying “Turtle Lady! Turtle
By Cindy Pierson,
The Turtle Lady
Lady!”
Somehow, it
stuck! And that’s how I
became the Turtle
Lady.
I'll never
forget her!
Her
name is Courtney
Fleming, and she's
all grown up now. I
saw her about a
year ago, and she
still loves turtles!
Here’s a copy of that
original beastie in the
cage (below). Now back to
Falkor!
We hope you’ll come out to help
us celebrate on June 4th – Mayor
McCarthy has proclaimed that day to
be “Pompeston Creek Day!” We’ll
start the day off with the 7th Annual
“Walk the Walk”/National Trails Day,
and then we’re all set for the 5th
Annual “Great Pompeston Rubber
Duck Race!” This is the yearly
fundraiser for the Watchdogs of the
Watersheds.
We are supported
entirely by donations, and use the
money raised to help our cleanup
efforts, and to provide a graduation
award to a local high school senior
who has shown commitment to the
environment through volunteerism.
Ducks are just $5 each, and the
guided walk is free! See our ad for
more info.
And lastly, thank you to Hal
Parsons at Walmart for donating
trash bags and gloves for our cleanup
on April 9th!

The April meeting was called to order by our President Rich
Grockenberger followed by Lunch. During Lunch we had a wonderful guest
speaker, Patti Sheehy, who has written two books. The first was The Boy Who
Said No and the sequel being Stalked. We were able to hear about both books
from the man about whom they were written, Frank Mederos. Frank spoke
about his life as a child under the Castro Regime. He told us how he was
taken from his family and when he was 16 made to join the army. He father
and uncles were put in jail and the family was separated from them. His
grandfather was a hero to him and helped to see what he needed to do for a
better life. He hid away from the government until he could escape and come
to America. Even here he was stalked by the Cuban Government and
although he was alone in the country he survived and made a good life for
himself. He talked about how we should be grateful to be here but that things
were not handed to him he had to work hard for them. After he talked people
asked him questions which he openly answered. Frank was so interesting
and everyone enjoyed him and Patti, who stayed so people could purchase the
books.
Then the Secretary’s report was read by Betty Jewell, followed by the
Treasurer’s report from Ginny Mortland, both were approved and seconded.
Old business was discussed where we agreed that the Hunterton Play House
trip was enjoyed by all with a great show and lunch.
New business was then brought to the floor first being the Milbridge
Second graders will have the seniors as their guests to put on a little show of
music and poems. They will also ask us a list of questions which we were
given in advance to look over. Everyone was asked to sign up for May 18th
for the 12:30pm show and share time with the 2nd graders where we will
both learn a lot from each other.
The amendments to the By-Laws were read and approved by all. A new
copy of the By-Laws as well as a list of all members was given out to everyone.
Our meeting next month will be May 10th at 1pm. We will be entertained
by a group from Palmyra, Girls Again Productions, who will sing and dance,
which proves to be very entertaining. Floss gave out Birthday cards and
50/50’s, door prize and cake tickets were drawn. Floss also tickled our funny
bones with a few very cute jokes. Thank you Floss!

Cinderella is proof that a new pair of shoes can change your life.
MY FRIEND JEANETTE
I
met
Jeanette Clay at
the Y in a senior
fitness class. As
we talked, Jeanette told me she had come
a long way since she was picking cotton
in Ocilla, Georgia at the age of 5. With
that statement, I had to hear more.
The two children were shivering
under the house digging holes and
trenches in the damp earth. It was dark
but they had to finish burying the
moonshine before the “Revenue” showed
up. Jeanette and Lawrence’s father, Joe
Preston, had been with them for the past
six months. Now he was going to live
with his wife nine miles away. He spent
six months at each house. Since his wife
could not bear children, she had long ago
given him permission to have children
with Jeanette’s mother, Suzie Clay. He
fathered four children with Jeanette’s
mother — Brenda, Lawrence, Gently and
Jeanette. There were three half siblings
who also lived in Suzie’s little house in
the “little dirt town” of Ocilla, Georgia.
Jeanette’s mother worked as a domestic
at the home of the local sheriff. As a
small child, Jeanette thought her mother
was going to jail everyday when she saw
the sheriff’s car picking Suzie up for
work. At other times, Jeanette and her
siblings would pick cotton, pecans,
tomatoes and other crops to supplement
their meager family income. When her
father was not living with them, they
were in dire straits.
There was no electricity or plumbing
in most of the houses in Ocilla. But
Jeanette’s family had plumbing, thanks
to her father, a retiree from the railroad
and a bootlegger in retirement. He
owned two “juke joints” where he sold
moonshine. Jeanette would go with him
at 3 a.m. to pick up the moonshine and
bring it to the juke joints. It was up to her
and Lawrence to hide it from the
“Revenue.” When the law came to the
house, they would line the children up
and quiz them about where the
moonshine was hidden.
They also
threatened the children that if they didn’t
tell, they would be arrested when they
reached the age of 16.
Because she had a difficult time
supporting all seven children when
Jeanette’s father was with his wife, Suzie
By Genevieve Lumia
gave her daughter Francis away to her
aunt who had no children. She also gave
Lawrence away for a while, but then took
him back when she could. Francis was
well taken care of by her great aunt, but
she never forgave her mother for giving
her away. Until she was five, Jeanette
was taken care of by her grandmother
when her mother was at work. One day,
as she was playing on her grandmother’s
porch in an old icebox, her grandmother
warned her to be careful. When Jeanette
looked around, her gran was sitting with
a plate of food with her head bowed. Her
gran was dead. Little Jeanette did not
realize her gran had passed away, she
thought her gran was dreaming.
Unfortunately, that is the only memory
Jeanette has of her grandmother. It was
after her death that Jeanette’s brother,
Larry, went back to her mother’s house.
When they were 16, Jeanette and
Larry joined the Job Corps for fear the
“Revenue”
would
arrest
them.
Unfortunately, when their dad became
ill, they came home and never completed
the Job Corps program. At that time,
Jeanette got pregnant and the Job Corps
would not take her back. Susie made
Jeanette get married to the father of her
child, Jerry Gainer. Little Jerry Gainer,
Jr.,
died
in
infancy
of
acute
gastroenteritis.
Unfortunately, the
doctors didn’t realize her was allergic to
milk and the hospital kept feeding him
milk until his lungs collapsed. Jeanette’s
second son, Steven Maurice Gainer died
of the same illness at 6 months.
However, Jeanette stayed with her
abusive husband for four years. Together
they moved to Trenton, NJ.
Because of a lack of jobs in the south,
Jeanette stayed up north and worked at
a Trenton textile factory. At that time
Blacks were not permitted to work in
white collar jobs. Their choices were
farm
work,
bootlegging
or
unemployment. She left Jerry, Sr.,
because he was beating her. During a
bitter argument, she accidentally cut off
her own finger and went to the hospital
holding her finger. She never went back
to Jerry and he soon returned to Georgia
with their furniture, household goods,
food and son.
Jeanette walked up and down the
street knocking on doors looking for a job.
In a basement office on West State
Street, a kindly woman by the name of
Eleanor hired her to work for the state at
a job funded by the CETA program.
Jeanette was working as a keypunch
operator, joined the credit union,
borrowed money, and went down south to
steal her son back from her mother-inlaw. Her mother-in-law was living in
Mystic, Georgia. One day when she was
drinking vodka, she fell asleep and
Jeanette got away with two-year-old
Jerry, Jr. She began walking the 70
miles to her family’s home when her
uncle picked her up and drove her to the
airport.
A friend, Shane, helped Jeanette to
get re-established in Trenton after she
left Jerry. She and Shane were together
for 9 years and had a son, Shane.
Jeanette also had a brief relationship
with Danny Downing. She has remained
single after that and has raised her two
sons on her own.
Jeanette Clay is a very brave
woman. She has succeeded despite the
hardships of her youth, the abuse at the
hand of a person who was supposed to
protect and lover her, and the lack of a
strong support system to help her over
the rough spots. Her beliefs, her love for
her children, and her determination not
to be kept down which have seen her
through it all.
It has been a long journey for
Jeanette from poverty, an alcoholic
mother and domestic abuse to a good job
as an office supervisor, an earned GED
and a well-earned retirement. This
courageous woman is now enjoying 10
grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.

Riverside Middle School rocks when it comes to writing poems. In Mrs.
Wareham’s 6th Grade Language Arts Class, 19 students were chosen as noteworthy
poets in the Creative Communication’s Poetry contest, and were selected for
publication in the Fall 2015, “Celebration of Poets” book. By using symbolic language,
Wareham’s sixth grade students know how to create emotion in their writing. They
construct poems that come to life and touch the hearts of many. Students flourish as
writers by using different forms of “Figurative Language,” such as: Alliteration,
Idioms, Onomatopoeia, Hyperbole, Simile, Metaphor, and Personification.
Let’s congratulate RMS’s published poets. (L-R) Top Row:

Palmyra of course was not exempt
from the loss of its young men who rose
to the call to arms. On June 21st, 1918, The Palmyra
Record newspaper suspended publication because its
editors, JOSEPH G. SEEL and FRED M. RODGERS
(pictured above) had left to join the army during World
War I. Fred Rodgers would never return. Rogers became
the first Palmyra casualty of the war when he was killed
during the Meose-Argonne offensive in France. He was
only 18 years old when he volunteered to carry a message
“across no man’s land under enemy fire.” Upon his death,
Rodgers was found clutching a small testament given to
him by his mother. Rodgers also left behind his fiancé.

George Richmond, Interim Pastor • 228 E. Washington Street • 856-461-0132

Did you know that
there was a time when hymns in church
were only sung by Priests? And did you
know that they were sung in Latin, which
meant that the majority of churchgoers
couldn’t understand them?
More than 600 years ago, Jan
(pronounced Jon) Hus began to reform
the Catholic Church in Moravia and in
Bohemia, now Germany and Eastern
Europe. One of the things that Hus
wanted to see, and make happen, was
congregational singing of hymns in the
language of the people, which was Czech.
Hus was eventually burned at the stake
but his influence and his ideas, including
this one, were picked up by the early
Moravian Church. The Moravians were
one of the first to present worship
services, including music, in the language
of the people.
This
year
marks
the
60th
anniversary of the Moravian Music
Foundation. This foundation assembles,
develops, preserves catalogs, researches
edits, publishes and most importantly,
performs music that keeps the Moravian
musical heritage alive in the church.
For more information about the
Moravian Music Foundation go to
www.moravian.org and look under
“latest news.”
Closer to home, First Moravian
Church of Riverside will hold its annual

We live in difficult times.
It is especially difficult when we
hear messages from groups that claim
religious ties, but instead promote and
commit horrific violence for political
purposes. Any kind of violence is not
acceptable. In my opinion, violence
committed in the name of religion is even
more unacceptable.
If we only focus on the negative
political
images,
we
will
miss
opportunities for faithful, meaningful,
respectful and caring conversation. In a
time of such hateful rhetoric, we must do
all we can to promote peace and respect.
I invite you to a very special opportunity
to have a wonderful evening with your
faith-based neighbors.
The Triple Towns Ministerium
invites you to Abraham’s Table – an
opportunity to have dinner with your
brothers and sisters of faith in our
community. Abraham’s Table brings
together the three Abrahamic faiths –
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam – for a
joyful and beautiful time of fellowship.
This will be held at Zion Lutheran
Church Parish Hall on Wednesday, May
18th, 6:30-8pm. Our topic will be “Being
My Brother’s Keeper.” Speakers from
the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths
will offer perspectives on this important
topic. There will also be opportunity for
you to participate with any questions or
comments you may have.
“By organizing these dinners, we
believe that we show our commitment to
promoting mutual understanding,
appreciation, and enrichment. We also
believe that these dinners contribute, in
their own ways, to America’s
continuing celebration of its citizens’
diversity.”
(Interfaith Dialogue
Center/Peace Islands Institute)

(Abraham), came descendants as
