For one half, Alpha Q was asgood, if not better than the un-beaten defending champion TeamAwesome, for one half both teamswere dead even locked in a 25-25game, a offensive showdownwhich saw each team answeringeach others’ scoring, but thencame the second half.

“This season was as successful

as we could have hoped,” ConnorHughes said. “We were competi-tive, we won two of our last threegames and we ended the seasongoing blow for blow with the bestteam in this entire league. Thisteam’s potential is limitless.”

“Even though we lost, thisgame still feels like we won,”starting defensive back and run-ning back Ryan Kuski said.

After one half the score wasdead even. Unfortunately AlphaQ just couldn’t keep up with thehigh-powered run and gun of-fense of Team Awesome. TeamAwesome went on a run in thesecond half scoring on every of-fensive possession, a feat that

Alpha Q wasn’t able to match.“We tried our hardest to keep

with these guys,” Hughes said.“In the first half we were withthem; but in the second half theirexperience, their knowledge of being in the playoffs and being de-fending champs really shinedthrough. But one thing is for sure;everyone knows Alpha Q is no

pushover.”The score of 52-36 shows one

story, the game another. Alpha Q’soffense was at its best, seeing fivestarters reach the end zone andmatched so much of Team Awe-some’s firepower with just asmuch of their own. CorinnePawlowski continued her incredi-ble season pulling in two touch-downs; receiver Conner Doudadded another, which gave AlphaQ all the signs in the world that abright future is just ahead of them.

“Our entire offense is comingback next season, we were able toscore with the best in a yearwhich we have only been playing

together for what, eight weeks,”Hughes said. “The teams we areplaying have been together threeto four years, and we were match-ing all of them stride to stride. Tosee what we accomplished thisseason and to know we can nowbuild on that for the future, add acouple more plays, have a monthof practices before we come back,words can’t describe how excitedI am to get back to action.”

Alpha Q doesn’t have to waittoo long to figure out what nextseason holds, the fall season be-gins Sept. 10 and will featuremuch more teams than the onesthat were in the spring season.Defensively things might not bethe same old thing for Alpha Q, astwo key defensive starters, Matt

Does the rising mercury of summer mean a drop in busi-ness? While it’s true that sum-mertime sales do tend to dip,there are many who say that,with the right marketing ap-proach, that doesn’t have to be the

case.“For some businesses, it’s the

busiest time of year,” said MarkMorgan, president of theMoorestown Business Associa-tion.

Each season provides uniquechallenges, but with summer alsocome unique opportunities forbusiness owners. For the mostpart, business representativesacross the area said, it all comesdown to taking advantage of in-creased foot traffic during sum-mer events, and, if possible, get-ting more involved with the com-munity.

Morgan said most of the suc-cess for businesses at this time of 

year in his area can be attributedto summer events such as Art-Walk or Moorestown Day.

The Moorestown Business As-sociation sponsors ArtWalk onthe second Friday of each monthfrom May through Septemberfrom 6 to 9 p.m.

“Shops on Main Street are en-couraged to stay open later andtake advantage of the increasedfoot traffic,” Morgan said.

Compare it to First Friday inHaddonfield, which HaddonfieldRetail Coordinator Lisa Hurdsaid has become bigger and big-ger in recent years.

“They have become increasing-ly popular,” she said. “It drawspeople in for the arts but also toshop and dine.”

Haddonfield’s First Fridayevents run from April throughNovember from 5 to 9 p.m. Thenext one, Aug. 5, will coincidewith Haddonfield’s annual side-walk sale, which is a longstand-ing tradition that Hurd said at-tracts huge crowds and offersgreat promotions and buys.

“The next First Friday will be a

ton of fun with music, art, salesand dining,” she said. “It’ll be ex-citing.

“In Haddonfield, we have someof our biggest events of the yearduring our summer months,”Hurd said. “We just wrapped upthe Fine Art and Crafts Festival.There were 100,000 people in townover the course of the weekend.”

She added that events like thatdon’t just bring people in for oneweekend.

“Since we draw people in fromall over the region and beyond,people discover the unique shopsand dining opportunities thatHaddonfield has to offer and theycome back later in the season,”

she said.We may be just a short distancefrom popular destinations suchas the Jersey shore, but Hurdpointed out that not everyonegoes to the beach for vacation.There are people who plan stayca-tions, and there are even somewho vacation in this area and arelooking for fun things to do.

Michael Marchitto, director of economic development forVoorhees Township, said summersales in Voorhees are actuallypretty steady compared to otherseasons. He said he believes theeconomic climate is helping localbusinesses because more peopleare staying close to home and opt-ing for staycations.

Marchitto, who is also the

township liaison to the VoorheesBusiness Association, said anyreports he has seen show busi-ness remains at the same levelthrough the summer, with just aslight drop for some businesses.

He added that summer eventsdo still help sales, such as the freeSummer Twilight Series, includ-ing musical performances and

movies, at Connolly Park.Independence Day is a summer

event that many towns can relyon for a boost. Over in Marlton,approximately 35,000 people werein town for July Fourth events,which included a 5K in the morn-ing, dinner and dessert from localbusinesses at Cherokee HighSchool, and fireworks at dusk.

Sandy Student, a member of the Marlton Business Associa-tion, said he’s hopeful that atten-dance at Evesham’s Independ-ence Day festivities – an increasein the thousands compared to lastyear – is an indication of how suc-cessful the whole summer will belocally.

“There’s a huge amount of peo-ple who are going to the shore.They’re doing vacations wherethey are gone for a week or twoweeks, so there could be a tenden-cy to have a downturn,” said Stu-dent, also the chairman of theMarlton Economic DevelopmentAdvisory Committee. “The suc-cessful merchants are the oneswho take advantage of local op-portunities.”

There’s the National DrawTournament for lacrosse atCherokee High School, for exam-ple, which drew in 12,000 peoplethis year. Student said hotels inthe whole area, not just Marlton,were sold out.

For decades, the Farm Fairhas been a regular happening onthe Village Green in Lumberton,but has become squeezed in re-cent years by increasing popula-tion and traffic, not to mentionits own offering of exhibits andactivities.

Working with the BurlingtonCounty Farm Fair Association,freeholders identified the 640-acre sod farm off Route 206, atJacksonville-Jobstown Road, asan ideal replacement, and pur-chased the property, which hadfaced potential residential devel-opment, in 2004 for $4.5 million.

Garganio told those assem-bled for last week’s ceremonythat the purchase was – and still

is – the largest acquisition thecounty has ever made. Sixtyacres have been earmarked forthe fairgrounds, which will alsohost equestrian, 4-H and otherevents throughout the year.

The remaining major portionof the property will remain asopen space, and is destined tofeature an expansive network of trails sometime in the future.

The 2011 edition of the FarmFair ran Wednesday, July 20through Saturday, July 23. TheFarm Fair Association held itsown ceremonial opening onWednesday, July 20.

Fair organizers have clung totraditional agricultural displays,contests and events over theyears, but also incorporated newand exciting attractions. Thisyear, for the first time, a tractorpull competition took place.

otherwise not do the jobs they

were elected to do.

IPAB is the board that, once

actually established, will over-

see Medicare spending and, in

theory, limit cost increases. Re-

publicans say it will lead to ra-

tioning health care. Democrats say it is needed to save Congress

from itself.

We say this looks like the old call for a constitutional conven-

tion in New Jersey to reform the state’s obscene tax structure.

Politicians who supported the call for the convention said they

needed it because the public was too stupid to comprehend the

process of tax reform and would vote out any politician who

perhaps raised one tax to lower another.

Same thing with IPAB. If Congress is paying too much atten-

tion to lobbyists and special interests, as the IPAB supporters

say, then, well, the public should be OK with that or the public

should be so outraged that those members of Congress either

change their ways or are voted out of office. That’s kind of the

way government is supposed to work. It’s not supposed to have

independent, non-elected panels and groups providing cover for

cowardly politicians.

Whether it’s Medicare, tax systems, budgets or anything else

related to government, the “fixes” begin and end with those

elected to office. They have the power to do nothing, make

things better or make things worse.

Then, it’s up to the voting public to hold them accountable

and to vote people out of office when necessary.

We don’t need bodyguards for politicians who are unwilling

to make the tough decisions.
