The Sun
On April 25, 2010, the first Jere-
my Kane Memorial Run was held
in Cherry Hill on a gray, rainy
morning. A group of local resi-
dents, friends and supporters
joined a group of Rutgers stu-
dents and the Kane family to walk
in honor of Jeremy, who was
killed in January 2010 while serv-
ing in Afghanistan as a U.S. Ma-
rine reservist. The goal was to
raise money and one day provide
a scholarship in his honor.
Four years later, that dream is
about to be realized.

Some high school kids travel to
Southern California for the
beaches; others may go to check
out Hollywood.
A group of Cherry Hill stu-
dents spent four days inside the
Anaheim Convention Center,
sending robots out to battle with
dozens of others from across the
United States and around the
world.
The Cherry Hill East Robotics
Club recently had three teams
qualify for the VEX Robotics
World Championships, held from
April 23 to 26.
The robotics clubs journey to
the world championships was a
full year in the making. It began
in the summer of 2013, after VEX
robotics announced the details
about the following years compe-
tition.
Jason Fisch, a sophomore in
the club, said the members are
hard at work building their robot
over summer break.
Well be done our robot a
month or two into the summer,
he said. Its a never-ending build-
ing progress.
Fisch doesnt mind the sum-
mer project. His interest in engi-
neering, science and math
brought him to the robotics club.
We can apply things we learn
in class, like math and science,
and use them in here, he said.
This is the only thing that has to
do with engineering in the
school.
Joe Dilks, the faculty advisor
for the club, has been with the
team since its inception. He said
this year was the clubs best so
far, sending three separate teams
to the world championships. The
only other teams to qualify from
New Jersey were from South Or-
ange and Tinton Falls.
We actually had eight teams
this year that were competing,
he said. Three of our teams went
to the world championship.
All three teams performed well
in their division, finishing no
worse than 44th place out of 86
teams. The Deus Vex Machine
team won seven of 10 matches

The Board of
F r e e h o l d e r s
strongly support
local businesses in
the county, with
events, services and
programs, as part
of our commitment
to economic devel-
opment and job cre-
ation in Camden County.
As part of our Shop Camden
County initiative, we are holding
a special Runway Fashion Show
event on Thursday, May 29 at the
Camden County Boathouse from
5:30-8:30 p.m. to kick off a series of
Shop Camden County events that
will be held throughout the year.
We invite you to join us at the
Boathouse, at 7050, North Park
Drive in Pennsauken, for an
evening that features hors doeu-
vres, a wine and soft drink bar,
and a runway fashion show fea-
turing local models from our com-
munities and clothing from local
stores, complete with a deejay and
my fellow Freeholder, Scot Mc-
Cray doing the fashion commen-
tary.
There will be exhibitors, a
goodie bag, plus spectacular views
of the Cooper River and the Philly
skyline as the sun begins to set.
People can relax, mingle and see
whats in style for summer fash-
ion.
At the same time, this event and
others like it build awareness of
local shopping opportunities,
from small town shopping to large
scale retailers.
Those interested in attending
must register in advance by May
27. Admission is a
suggested $15.00 do-
nation at the door
to help a local ani-
mal shelter. Please
register at
w w w. c a md e n -
county.com. If you
have any questions,
you can call (856)
216-2117.
Its easy to shop locally, since
Camden County businesses offer
everything youre looking for.
If we all shop locally in Camden
County, we will help to promote
local job growth as local busi-
nesses provide job opportunities
for our residents. These busi-
nesses, collectively, are our largest
employers. Local employment op-
portunities create shorter com-
mutes and a sense of community.
And shopping locally is good for
you. You save time and money and
also help preserve our environ-
ment by traveling less and saving
on fuel costs.
People are always pleasantly
surprised by the great prices and
range of products available from
our local merchants. Local busi-
ness ownersfrom clothing
stores to hair salons, jewelry, ac-
cessory and resale and consign-
ment shops and our caterer
provided all the clothing you will
see there, as well as doing models
hair and makeup and providing
the food and wine. A committee of
local business people worked with
the County to plan and organize
this event, donating their time
and becoming sponsors along
with us.
