Fightingcancer

By MELISSA DIPENTOThe Cherry Hill Sun

Nick Fifis stood before 200 fam-ily members, friends and support-ers at Ponzio’s last week to cele-brate the life of his father, JimFifis.

“I didn’t know my grandfather.I want my kids to remembertheirs. And you’re helping to dothat,” he said, allowing a fewtears to roll down his face.

His father, Demetrios “Jim”Fifis, passed away on Aug. 27,2007.

He was first diagnosed withcancer in 2003 and opted for sur-gery and chemotherapy. The can-cer returned in 2006.

Jim Fifis was born in Greece

and came to the United States in1966.

He and his brothers ownedPonzio’s in Brooklawn and even-tually he sold his share of therestaurant to become a co-ownerof Ponzio’s in Cherry Hill withhis three sons and nephew. Hissons continue to work at therestaurant.

A week before his father passedaway, Jim Fifis asked his wife, Vi-oletta, and three sons, Chris, Nickand John, to raise money to find acure for cancer.

Acting on his wish, Chris Fifis,the oldest brother, approachedSusan Bass Levin, the presidentand CEO of the Cooper Founda-

Fall is officially here, usheringin cooler temperatures, a chang-ing landscape and a chance to getoutside and enjoy the outdoors.

But scenic views and pleasantweekends aren’t the only thingmany are enjoying this fall. Thesports teams at Cherry Hill Eastare in full swing and now is thebest time to enjoy an outdoorgame or two.

Let’s catch up and see how afew of our teams are faring, sofar.

n Cherry Hill East Girls Field

HockeyLast year, the team finished 1-7

in its division, but Coach Eliza-beth Scharff said she is opti-mistic about a better year ahead.

“We play in a very tough con-ference and are just looking tohold our own and come out withmore conference wins than lastseason,” Scharff said. “We playthe No. 1 team in the state twotimes each season, and againstEastern, we set small goals andlook to accomplish them.”

The team graduated most of itsstarters from last year, butScharff said she is confident thisyear’s sophomores who played on

the team last season will be ableto step up and deliver.

In addition, the team will relyon starting goalkeeper BlaireJanney and midfielder DailynBrook, who were both named tothe 2nd all-conference team lastseason. Sweeper Madi Schwartz,forward Stephanie Berman andmidfielders Jordan Coleman andTaylor Janney also returned tothe squad with experience.

“Dailyn Brook is a standoutmidfielder who will keep theteam controlled and on pace. Ourstar goalkeeper, Blaire Janney,has improved tremendously overthe last two seasons. She is going

to keep us in a lot of close gamesand help to secure the winagainst a lot of teams this year.And Madi Schwartz is a strongbackfielder that will help us fillsome big shoes from last year,”Scharff said.

So far, the team is 0-2 this sea-son. But Scharff said she is hop-ing to see progress.

“We are looking to improve ourstatus in the conference and betaken a little more seriously thanin years past,” Scharff said. “Ithink we have come a long way,but we definitely still have ourwork cut out for us.”

n Cherry Hill East Boys Cross

CountryA strong senior class is what

Coach Matt Cieslik hopes willcarry the team to another Cam-den County championship. Lastyear, the team claimed that titleand also finished fifth in theSouth Jersey Group 4 Sectionals.

“We think that this could beone of our most competitiveteams,” Cieslik said. “We thinkthat if things go well, we could re-turn to the NJ Group 4 StateChampionships.”

The team lost two seniors tograduation, one of whom is con-

Over the last year, my officehas been involved in a number ofinitiatives to get residents en-gaged in cleaning up our commu-nity. We’ve gotten our neighbor-hoods involved in picking up the

litter that too frequently dots thetownship’s landscape – the plasticbags, food wrappers, paper andbottles that line our roadwaysand our open spaces.

When I see the amount of trashthat builds up in these very visi-ble areas and the speed at whichit accumulates even after themost thorough cleanup, it dis-gusts me; it angers me.

So this Oct. 1, I’m reaching outto residents and communitygroups to once again do some-thing about it. From 9 a.m. tonoon that day, the township ishosting a wide-scale communitycleanup day.

Residents can sign up to partic-ipate, and township staff will beon hand at each site to help in theeffort. Trash bags and gloves willbe provided; participants shouldbring whatever materials theyhave lying around, as well.

Three public sites have beendesignated for this special event –at Croft Farm; on a tract of open

space along Browning Lane; andnear Carusi Middle School. Theevent is part of National GreenVolunteer Day – and is the secondevent of its kind hosted by thetownship this year.

The first, held in mid-April,saw dozens of individuals cometogether to clear trash from pub-lic land.

In all, more than four dozenlarge green trash bags were re-moved from 10 sites across thecommunity. It was amazing to seethe impact our residents, civic as-sociations, swim clubs and reli-gious organizations made in sucha short period of time.

The importance of cleanupevents like this, and of the contin-ued cooperation of residents whoare dedicated to protecting ourenvironment and our township,cannot be stressed enough.

As mayor and as a resident ofthis community for more than 45years, I know that our residentsexpect only the best from ourhometown. We take pride in ourpublic lands and hold ourselves toa higher standard and a higherquality of life.

And with more than 50 publicparks across the township, partic-ipation from our neighborhoodsis crucial to maintaining the spe-cial quality of life that makesCherry Hill such a destination forfamilies.

Anyone interested in partici-pating can contact Lisa Landis [email protected] or 910-9685, or Natalie Barney at [email protected] or 432-8706.

I hope you’ll join in this effortto strengthen our community andkeep Cherry Hill such a wonder-ful place to live, work and play.

CHERRY HILL SUN– the –


By now almost everyone hasheard the dire warning: If thePostal Service’s finances aren’t

fixed by next summer, mail deliverystops.

Now, ordinarily, folks would shrugoff such words as hyperbole. But, onlya few weeks ago, the nation teeteredon fiscal default, so, these days, we allhave to pay attention.

Will the Postal Service close?There’s perhaps the most remotechance that it will, but, probably not.Especially since there are a number ofsolutions already on the table.

First, end Saturday delivery. Itwould inconvenience some, but itwon’t be that big of a deal once every-

one gets used to it.Second, downsize employees and

close facilities. Every company has toexamine its expenditures. If it makessense to layoff some employees andclose some post offices, do it.

Third, expand the non-postal servic-es provided at post offices. They al-ready handle passports, for example.So long as any “extras” don’t give agovernment agency an unfair advan-tage over the private sector, have at it.

But really big money can be foundwhen lawmakers look at a pre-fundedretiree health benefits commitmentand billions of dollars the service saidit overpaid into a retirement fund.

Our guess is that some combinationof the above, with maybe a few otherideas tossed in, will keep the mailflowing for now.

Going forward, though, the PostalService should have the flexibility toadapt to new technology, changingtimes and increased competition. Cou-ple that with budgetary mandates thatinclude mandatory spending cuts ifgoals aren’t hit, and you have the basisof a plan that could keep the mail com-ing for years to come.

in our opinion

The mail isn’t here yetAnd some say that, come next summer, it never will get here

The postal problemsWould you miss Saturday postal deliv-ery? What are your thoughts onrestructuring the Postal Service?

These women ain’t ladies;they’re the SJ Roller DerbyWomen they are, but ladies they ain’t.

The girls of the South Jersey Roller Derbyleague don’t wear bows, they don’t playwith dolls, and they sure as hell don’t useinline skates. Only roller skates can sufficewhen delivering a vicious forearm shiverinto the jugular of an opposing jammer.

But you won’t find any of these demoli-tion beauties holding out for more moneyor appearing on television spots for localcar commercials, or even playing in front

of crowds of thousands. No, they do it because it’s fun, it’s fast

paced, and they get some pretty cool nick-names.

The girls of South Jersey Roller Derbyhave been rocking and rolling (mostlyrolling) since 2007, when current presidentand founder Melissa Morera, aka Mos’Deathly, moved up from Virginia with hersister and organized the league.

What started as a five skater, all girl

team that practiced outdoors in a publicpark has grown into a co-ed league consist-ing of 70 skaters and a home skating rinkwith a fully-formed banked racetrack. Theleague has four in-house teams and twotraveling co-ed teams that travel along theEast Coast skating against other rollerderby squads.

The South Jersey Roller Derby has itsown rink/stadium in West Deptford whereit hosts its matches. It also just purchasedits first banked track, “The Green Ma-chine,” for $10,000 from the San DiegoDerby Dolls, Morera said. It’s a historictrack, she said, which has seen thousandsof matches played on its surface.

What’s up with the red light cameras?

Regarding the red light cameras at

Springdale Rd. and Rt. 70, why don’t youask Mayor Platt the only relevant question:How much revenue are these camerasbringing the city’s coffers? The signs forthe cameras are obscured and not very vis-

ible. This shows that the purpose of thecameras isn’t to promote safety, rather it’ssimply to generate revenue. This is amoney scam pure and simple.

The Success of Savings pro-gram is a financial literacy pro-gram that strives to empower in-dividuals with disabilities to be-come economically responsibleby teaching them to budget andsave their earned income.

To qualify for this program, allparticipants have to be competi-tively employed in the communi-ty at least part time and committo attending each of the classeswhile working toward a savingsgoal.

The classes are held during aneight-month period and partici-pants are encouraged to regularlymake savings deposits to work to-ward an identified long term sav-ings goal.

Each participant is matcheddollar for dollar in savings up to$500 to help achieve the long-termsavings goal.

This year, we are grateful toGlenmede and Nina Cohen, whois the director of PhilanthropicAdvisory Services at Glenmedefor providing the matching dol-

lars. Cohen is a board member at

JFCS and an individual that un-derstands and supports the needfor programming for individualswith challenges. We want tothank Glenmede and Cohen forhelping us to achieve our longterm goals.

The SOS program consists ofhands-on classwork includinglearning how to budget, identify-ing the differences between needsand wants, understanding bank-ing terminology, learning aboutdifferent types of accounts, ex-ploring credit reports, creditcards reading bank statements,and utilizing technology to en-gage in online banking. Whilethe classes are always education-al, they are also a lot of fun.

Donna Ackerman, the assis-tant vice president branch man-ager at PNC Bank in Cherry Hillfor the last two years, has beenour instructor for the SOS pro-gram. Not only does Ackermanmake the classes fun and competi-

tive but she has a special passionfor educating individuals aboutresources to manage and main-tain earnings.

Our SOS classes were all heldat Ackerman’s branch of PNCBank after hours. We got to seeand understand first-hand how abank operates.

The ultimate goal of the pro-gram is to make the participantsfeel comfortable in utilizing bank-ing systems, planning for the fu-ture and to encourage autonomyin money management.

This group was especially ex-citing to work with because manyof the participants came in with afoundation of understandingabout managing money.

This enabled us to take it to amore advanced level of educationabout wealth management servic-es. In addition, there was a spe-cial camaraderie that developedamong the group members, andfriendships were developed thatwent beyond the classroom expe-rience.

tion of Cooper University Hospi-tal, to see if they could work to-gether to raise money in the fightagainst cancer.

“He knew it was important tohis family,” Bass Levin said. “Iwas happy to do it, and everyoneat Cooper has jumped on board.”

From there, the Jim Fifis LungCancer Research Fund at Cooperwas established. The fund has al-ready raised more than $80,000.

Funding will go toward addi-tional research, preventativemeasures and outreach at theCooper Cancer Institute, saidFrank Bowen, M.D., director ofthe Cooper Lung Cancer Center.

“By working together and pool-ing our expertise, our multidisci-plinary lung cancer team pro-vides each patient with a compre-hensive evaluation and individu-alized treatment plan,” Bowensaid.

Guests at the evening fund rais-er last week were treated to din-ner, dessert, wine and beer. Sup-porters mingled and also partici-pated in a silent auction.

Earlier this summer, the Coop-er Cookie was launched to helpraise money for the fund.

The cookies were sold for $5 atPonzio’s, Cooper University Hos-pital and Ravitz ShopRite stores.

Bass Levin said she is proud ofthe community’s support for thecause. She said she was im-pressed by the turnout at lastweek’s event.

“The support for such an im-portant cause will make a differ-ence in the lives of many,” shesaid.

The evening was bittersweetfor Violetta Fifis, Jim’s wife of 40years.

“It’s a very emotional night forme,” she said. “I’m honored. Itmeans everything to me to haveeveryone come out.”

The brothers and their mothereach thanked the guests for keep-ing Jim Fifis’ memory alive. Vio-letta Fifis shared some thoughtsin Greek. The family was alsopresented with a plaque to re-member the evening.

“With all your hope, love anddedication, you have helped makeJimmy’s vision a reality,” ViolettaFifis said.

“We’re here to fulfill his vi-sion,” Nick Fifis said. “I wish hewere here.”

Fall sports well underway

tinuing to run at the collegiatelevel. Zach Iannerelli, DJ Ro-driguez, Ricky Zhao and BenHelfand are expected to con-tribute to the team this season.

“It’s always nice to have sen-iors and we have a pretty strongsenior class,” Cieslik said. “Whilewe will miss all of our graduates,we think that some of theyounger guys are ready to fill inthe void that they left.”

n Cherry Hill East Girls SoccerCoach Katie Boyle’s squad

went 8-10 last season and expectsto turn things around this season.

Off to a 3-3 start, the team isfeeling the loss of goalie LaurenMinkoff and sweeper Rachel Sin-doni, who graduated last year andare each starting players at St.Rose and Rutgers-Camden, re-spectively.

“Rachel and Lauren were four-year varsity players and their lossis tremendous,” Boyle said. “Lau-ren was one of the best goalies inSouth Jersey and is extremely dif-ficult to replace. Rachel was agreat sweeper and the two an-chored our defense.”

The team did return fivestarters including seniors AlexaDiPiero, Natalie DeLuca andChristine Goins, along with jun-iors Erica Hansen and Caitlin De-laney.

“Our returning varsitystarters will continue to make atremendous impact. Our size andstrength will be focused in themidfield,” Boyle said.

Overall, Boyle said she is look-ing for a challenging, but fun yearahead.

“This is a rebuilding year inevery aspect including the coach-ing staff,” Boyle said. “We’re look-ing forward to a great group ofgirls willing to work hard andcompete with a very difficultschedule.”

Many universities have an acappella group on campus, but nogroup from an Orthodox universi-ty has ever skyrocketed fromYouTube fame and become an in-ternational sensation.

The Maccabeats from YeshivaUniversity have parlayed theirpassion for Judaism into upbeatrenditions and harmonic songsthat have sent them touring theworld, sharing their sound andspreading Jewish values.

Originating in 2007, a group ofYU students who enjoyed singingdecided to form an a cappellagroup as a hobby that would addto the university’s extracurricu-lar offerings. The Maccabeatspracticed together until they hadenough pieces to start performing

on campus and throughout theNew York area. They aspired tomake music that integrated thewisdom of Torah with Jewish,American, and Israeli music.

After releasing their debutalbum, “Voices from theHeights,” in March 2010, groupmembers noticed that they ac-quired 100,000 YouTube video hitson their cover of Matisyahu’s“One Day.”

Pleased with the success, groupmembers quickly challenged oneanother to see how quickly theirnext single could reach 100,000views. Little did they know, thenext video would receive morethan five million YouTube viewsand become an international sen-sation.

Uri Westrich, producer of“Candlelight,” the Chanukah-themed song to the tune of “Dy-namite,” wanted to create a videothat would be a fun, exciting holi-day song for Jews. The YouTubevideos surpassed their goal of100,000 hits as the catchyChanukah song spread fasterthan wildfire.

Yonatan Shefa, Maccabeatgroup member and past advisorof the Cherry Hill Senior NSCYyouth group chapter for the lastfour years, said “It certainly wasa surprise to all of us that thevideo was such a hit.

We knew it would circulate inthe Orthodox community butnever dreamed it would reach asfar as it did including Jews ofevery denomination and non-Jews. The response was remark-able, people were commenting onhow it inspired them to light can-dles, getting them in the mood forChanukah.”

Since “Candlelight” took off,

the Maccabeats have been unstop-pable. With a total of 14 mem-bers, the group consists of recentYU graduates, undergraduates,and others in graduate school.The group splits up into rotation-al groups and has been sharingits music with the Jewish com-munities all over the world.

Most recently, the group did aworldwide tour that includedCanada, South America andended with a performance in Is-rael at the Jerusalem Theater. InMay, the group had the honor ofperforming at the White Housewhen President Barack Obamahosted a reception for Jewishcommunity leaders from acrossthe country in honor of JewishAmerican Heritage Month.

Booked through February 2012with at least one show a week andregular rehearsals, there is notmuch free time for the Mac-cabeats, who are also working ona new album. A recent graduate,Shefa is currently a teacher’s as-sistant in North Jersey. Althoughthe schedule is taxing and he isconstantly flying off to some des-tination, he is thrilled to be ableto sing for people all over theworld.

As part of the Politz DaySchool annual concert series,which brings Jewish performersto the Delaware Valley, the schoolwill be bringing the Yeshiva Mac-cabeats to perform during theJewish holiday of Sukkot onTuesday, Oct. 18 at 7:30 p.m. at theKatz JCC.

Prior to the concert, the com-munity is invited to “Pizza in theHut” hosted by the Katz JCC from6 to 7 p.m. For ticket informationand details on the evening, visitwww.politz.org.
