Haddon Heights is a registered town in
the Crossroads of the American Revolution, a
National Heritage Area between Philadelphia
and New York. The Revolutionary War
was a series of a few great battles but many
skirmishes. Troops fought in this corridor to
protect or sabotage movement between these
cities. Local militia harassed the British by
House and Fulling Mill, and stole food and livestock
destroying bridges, including the corduroy
bridge over King’s Highway, cutting down trees to and ravished the Patriot women. This war was fought
block roads and firing into the lines. The British in turn on our own soil.

MAYOR’S MESSAGE:
Dear Residents:
It seems like just yesterday that we were gearing up
for summer. With the anticipation of a beautiful fall season comes some great events
that generate a lot of pride in
our town. We all know our
town is a special and unique
place to live. I hope that all
of you are able to participate
in some way in one or more
of our civic events. Thanks to
our dedicated Borough staff,
volunteers and vibrant business community, we are able
to bring to bear a level of creativity and excitement that few
other towns can match.
On Saturday, October 6th, we will have our annual Fall Festival and Corvette
Show on Station Avenue. Our
town is known throughout the
area for this event. It is always
well attended by residents and
visitors alike. Four blocks on
Station Avenue will be full of
vendors and entertainment for
all ages. Our various civic
groups will also be out in full
force. Please come down
anytime between 10 a.m. and
3 p.m. to check out all of the
fun activities planned for you
and your family. Bring your
friends and your neighbors,
and maybe even make some
new friends while you’re
down on Station Avenue that
day. I will be there all day, so
please feel free to stop by and
say hello! We could not pull
off an event like this without
the dedication and support
from our volunteers and local
businesses, so I want to thank
them and encourage them to
keep up the wonderful community spirit!
On Saturday, October
13th, on North Park Drive, we
will again host the Revolutionary War living history event.
This free event will take place
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and
will feature re-enactors setting
up camps, portraying typical
troops on both sides of the
American Revolution. This
Mayor Edward S. Forte, Jr.
event is a great way to honor
and learn about the role our
own area played in the American Revolution. I would like
to thank Councilwoman Rose
Fitzgerald for all of the time
spent every year making this
event the success that it always
is.
I am delighted to report that we’ve had our second
Neighbor’s Night Out event
of the year, with our Sunday,
September 23rd Pop-Up Italian Restaurant on Station Avenue. The hard work of our
Neighbor’s Night Out Committee really showed through
at this event and at the evening
event we had in June on Atlantic Avenue. I am thrilled that
we have brought back these
great events that raise money
for good causes and bring our
town together as neighbors.
As you probably remember,
the June event raised thousands of dollars to repair
our Public Safety Memorial
Clock. The September event
raised money to enhance our
holiday decorations on Station Avenue. Keep your eyes
peeled for more great Neighbor’s Night Out events next
year. I would like to thank the
entire Neighbor’s Night Out
Committee for all of their hard
work in putting these events
together. A special thank you
goes to our former Mayor and
current Councilwoman Susan
Griffith, who always goes well
above and beyond the call of
duty whenever a volunteer is
needed in town.
On the government end,
we haven’t taken our focus off
Do You Need the Fall
“Function Better Program”?
Each fall, many folks enjoy activities such
as going for cool afternoon walks as the
leaves are falling, attending football or soccer games, raking leaves, picking pumpkins, tending to some gardening prior to
winter and even doing some early Christmas shopping in town. If you find yourself
in a position where the bending, endurance,
balance, standing, walking and climbing
requirements of these activities may be too
difficult, too painful or even impossible, the
“Function Better Program” at WORK-UP
PHYSICAL THERAPY may be just what you
need in order to have a fantastic fall season!
The “Function Better Program” at
WORK-UP PHYSICAL THERAPY emphasizes
muscle strengthening and stretching exercises, activities to decrease pain, conditioning exercises on equipment as well as personalized instruction to promote safe and
independent function. After completion
of the “Function Better Program”, many
people report that they are pain free and
able to lead a more active and independent
lifestyle.
WORK-UP PHYSICAL THERAPY is conveniently located at 135 East Atlantic Avenue
in Haddon Heights (just off Station Avenue).
Due to high demand, slots for the upcoming
fall session of the “Function Better Program” are limited and filling quickly.
To reserve a slot for the program, call
(856) 546-0377.
At WORK-UP PHYSICAL THERAPY, you will
find that:

administer the tax dollars we
ask you to contribute. I am
pleased to report that, although
many other towns around us
continue to experience financial crunches, with drastic cuts
in services, we have been able
to enhance the services we offer you while keeping the municipal portion of your property taxes well under control.
We have been able to build up
a surplus account, which, unfortunately, we did not have
for the many years when we
were depending on state “extraordinary aid” to balance our
budget. If we were still dependent on extraordinary aid,
we would have had to pass a
massive tax increase coupled
with drastic service reductions
on to you because the state no
longer provides extraordinary
aid to towns like ours. While
there is always room for improvement, I am pleased with
the progress we have made together.

Mayor’s Message
continued from page 2
You can rest assured that
your municipal government
will continue to keep it about
you and your money – because
we work for you, not the other
way around.
To further our goal
of trying to find savings
where possible, we have
entered into a shared services
agreement with a number of
our surrounding towns. Along
with our surrounding towns,
we sometimes have equipment
that is not being used. This
agreement allows us to borrow
equipment that we might need
from other towns and vice
versa. This agreement will
allow us to avoid a situation
where we might have needed to
purchase expensive equipment.
The agreement also provides
that, for example, if our own
construction code official is
not available, we can borrow
another town’s code official
without having to pay for it.
This common sense approach
should result in greater
efficiency and savings over
time. It is a model for how we
can work with our neighboring
towns to save money without
giving up control over aspects
of our town’s government.
Please enjoy the fall
and remember to drive carefully,
as our kids are back in school.
Please be mindful that kids will
soon be coming home from
after school activities when it
is getting dark. Remember that
your municipal government is
here to serve you – feel free to
call, e-mail, write or stop by at
my open office hours (listed on
the cover of this paper) if there
is anything your government
can do for you.

Pinetina Center for Italian Art and Culture
La Cucina Dolce
Antonina Bellesorte
Dennis Coleman and Tami Davies-Caleman
Antonina Bellesorte opened Pinetina as a place where people of all
ages can immerse themselves in the delights of Italy – the beautiful language, fabulous food, and rich artistic traditions and culture.
A native of Italy, Antonina has taught the Italian language for many
years, working with schools and private students alike. Fluent in both
Italian and English, she also works as an interpreter for the Italian Consulate, the US court system, private companies such as AT&T, and government agencies such as the FBI and the Immigration Department.
In addition to her passion for language, Antonina is also a prize-winning cook whose delightful specialty meals have graced the tables of
many South Jersey families.
These interests have inspired Antonina to open Pinetina Center teach
Italian to individuals as well as small groups. While cooking lessons are
not possible in the E. Atlantic Avenue location, Antonian does offer the
fine art of Italian cooking to individuals and groups at other locations.
Annalisa Salomone was born in Bologna in 1975 to Italian artist teacher
Angela Quintavalle. She has degrees in art and business and worked for
Nike in Italy. Two years ago she moved to the US with her husband
because of his job. That is when Annalisa started doing full time what
she loved to do when in Italy: paint. At Pinetina Center, Annalisa assists
teaching Italian as well as painting.
You will find lessons for both adults and children at Pinetina. Using Montessori methods, children are quickly immersed in Italian culture
and language.
Italian for travelers provides the language skills needed to easily travel
in Italy.
Seniors can arrange classes that provide basic conversation without
homework or grammar lessons.
If you want to learn Italian but believe that your schedule will not allow you to go to the Pinetina center, conversational lessons are available
to you via SKYPE.
After raising four children and starting to enjoy four grandchildren, Dennis
Coleman and his wife Tami Davies-Coleman decided to listen to their relatives.
For years, friends and family who received gift baskets of pastries and cookies
from Dennis and Tami said, “These are the best since Nonna’s. You should open
a bakery.”
While looking for a commercial kitchen to produce wholesale pastries for restaurants, the couple learned that the storefront at 506 Station Avenue was for rent
and had once been a bakery. It was the ideal space and location for their needs.
After driving around Haddon Heights, they fell in love with the town. “It’s just
our style,” said Tami. “The architecture of the houses is very appealing and we
just had the feeling that we should be here.”
These decisions were easy for Dennis and Tami, but harder to execute since
they lived and operated a business at the Jersey shore during summer and had a
home in Pennsylvania.
Due to commuting constraints they had a soft opening with shortened hours.
Encouraged by the number of people who came in on Sundays, La Cucina Dolce
had an official grand opening in late September. Stop in or visit the website for
grand opening specialties through October. Delicious specialty cakes, pastries
and cookies will be available for all your holiday celebrations.
How did Dennis and Tami solve their commuting problem? “Easy, we have
sold the business and house at the shore, and our son may buy our Pennsylvania
home. We have become part of the charming Haddon Heights community by
renting the apartment behind the shop,” said Tami. “We now have the pleasure of
walking only a few yards to work.”

Run for Reading 5k Run/
Walk – November 3, 2012
Story Storks is holding the
first annual Run for Reading
5k Run/Walk on Saturday,
November 3rd at 8 A.M.
at 7th Ave. and West High
Streets in Haddon Heights.
Registration begins at 7
A. M. Registration flyer
and online registration
is available at www.
storystorks.org.
Story Storks is a nonprofit
organization
focused
on
promoting
literacy
beginning at birth. The
organization was founded
in 2012 by three Haddon
Heights residents, Maureen
Hicks, Adrienne Evans and
Barbara Funkhouser. The
organization partners with
Cooper University Hospital
to educate the mothers of
the nearly 3,000 babies
born at the hospital about
the importance of reading
to babies from birth and the
impact that early reading has
on language development
and success in school. In
order to encourage reading,
Story Storks donates an
age appropriate board book
to each baby at Cooper
University Hospital that is
personalized with the baby’s
footprints.
Proceeds from the event
will be used to purchase
books and program supplies.
Information about Story
Storks including volunteer
opportunities is available at
www.storystorks.org.

Pope Paul II

those who needed to know that
someone was listening.

Family
Beginning September

Episcopal Church will provide
a study in sermon and small

life: Gospel-Centered Family:
Becoming the Parents God
wants you to be! We at St.
Mary’s understand what it
means to live the gospel of
Jesus Christ in your daily life.

about family life, we will focus
on what it means to rest in
grace as parents, to respond
with grace to our children and
to teach them to hope in grace
themselves. This emphasis is a
must for parents, grandparents
and all those adult role models
in your family. Find our
