A Healthy Housing Market in The ShadeMixed inventory suits many of buyer’s needs

Anne Cutry has been owner of Prudential McHugh Realty Inc. since 1992 and Broker of record since 1996.

As of September 30, 123 housing units were on the market in Maple Shade;

30 condos, starting at $70,000 up to $139,000 and the balance of properties are single-family homes priced from $64,900 to $349,900. So with that inventory, there are plenty of properties to choose from depending on your budget and your needs; whether you are willing to do some work to get the home the way you want it or you prefer a move-in-ready property, the choices are available in Maple Shade. During the same period of time, 21 properties went under contract including 4 condos and 15 single-family homes sold,prices ranging from $71,000 up to $265,000; 3 condos sold, prices ranging from $ 67,000 up to $82,000.

The back side of Bank Owned (REO) and Short Sale properties is that these sale prices effect the price of the regular market, as these homes are often sold for a lower price and an appraiser would have to take them into consideration when another property in the neighborhood is being sold on the regular market. Of course, an appraiser has to consider the condition of these properties. This is one of the reasons that we have not seen a higher increase in the housing market.

Some of the properties presently for sale are Bank Owned, some are Short Sale but most of the properties are privately owned. If you are in the market for a home, make sure that you know what the ownership is. A Bank Owned property is sold “AS IS,” banks are very rarely going to do any repairs, and utilities are off in most cases. A property that is categorized as a “Short Sale” means the Seller is still the owner of the property, but Buyers have to negotiate sale price with the fi nancial institution that is holding the mortgage. This can be a rather lengthy process, and the biggest drawback for the Buyer is that one never knows when closing will take place.

our town

By Jeff Radio

Time Piece Stands Tall in Gazebo ParkThe downtown as once was, is still seen as a gathering place for residents to walk, gather, shop, andbe seen. Commonly, there is a destination point within the down-town for residents to enjoy. It’s a centralized place that allows you to stimulate your senses by smelling thefood from local eateries, viewing the foliage of the area, and hearing chimesfrom the town clock or church. Though times have changed; people have become more mobile with the ever evolving automobile, shopping has become more regionalized and larger manufacturing employers havechanged to technology based bus-inesses, Maple Shade still defi nes an old town charm. Walk along the tree lined, beautifi ed downtown in Maple Shade and you would be hard pressed to miss the many eateries, unique stores and most importantly its destination…Gazebo Park. Twenty years ago, a local longtime resident, Bob Ries took the time to create and gift a symbol of Pride for the downtown of Maple Shade. His masterpiece, an 18-foot-tall copper and brass four sided clock at the corner of Main Street and Forklanding Road in Gazebo Park. His personal touches adorn the clock; personal initials “RJR” for Robert and Judi Ries and brass maple leaves patterned after foliage from his backyard. His vision is our wonder; as Bob Ries worked on a similar clock outside of the area he saw the potential for having one in his own town. He painstakingly worked in his spare time to fabricate each panel, as it took nearly a year to build. Most recently the clock was restored with the signifi cant help of local businessmen; Sterling Martin; owner of Thomson Lamination and his employees, Jimmy Tyson, Rich Hammel and Doug Anderson; owner of Cherry Hill Painting. Sterling Martin has been a true asset to the Maple Shade community as he has dedicated many years of volunteer service towards a multitude of projects. Restoring and upgrading the Maple Shade town clock with new technology is just one of his most recent accomplishments. Chimes were installed that currently play Westminister chimes, which sound every 15 minutes from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. There are more than 300 options of songs that could be chosen. An atomic clock was installed so the time will always be accurate. Maple Shade may not be the only town with a destination, a town clock and having a beautifi ed downtown, but it can stand alone with a strong sense of town pride and the everlasting sounds of music to enlighten your visit.

cover story

Clara’s ‘New Eyes’ Offer a Great Sense of Independence

By Jan L. Apple / Photos by Denise Henhoeffer

When Clare Westlund met Moose, she admits to falling immediately in love. Moose is a75-pound male Golden Retriever guide dog,a fi rst for the 26-year-old Maple Shaderesident who previously used a cane to navigate around town. Blind since birth, Westlund attended a 26-day training session this past summer withPilot Dogs in Columbus, Ohio. She receivedthree days of individualized instruction, followed by extensive training with Moose – creating a bond that continues to strengthen. “I have a greater sense of independencewith him than a cane,”said Westlund, whoearned a bachelor’s degree in religious studies from Georgian Court University and enjoys playing acoustic guitar. “I walk faster and I’m more confi dent.” A former competitive equestrian, Westlund explains that her cane would often get stuck in storm drains or on sidewalks. Westlund’s 17-month-old pup accompanies her outside the home she shares with her mom, Cindi. Westlund says Moose is at her side when she attends church or public establishments like restaurants, malls or the bank. “If I had to puta price tag (on what I have received), it would be around $65,000,” said Westlund, as training is costly. Moose was given to her at no charge. Although Westlund is more confi dent, she shared a frightening experience she hopes will raise awareness that guide dogs are not ordinary pets; nor are they trained to be aggressive: “They are a blind person’s eyes.” Shortly after

bringing Moose home, Westlund was walking down a neighborhood street when a larger dog escaped from inside a fence and jumped on Moose. Westlund was stunned and powerless. She had no idea how to stop the attack. Luckily, her dog was not injured. But he could’ve been. On two other occasions, dogs without leashes approached Moose. “Guide dogs can be easily distracted,” explained Westlund, “even if the other dog approaching is friendly. The slightest distraction can cause confusion.” In fact, she says, it’s more commonplace than

one might think for guide dogs to be approached or attacked. Westlund hopes that Dusty’s Law will changethat. Signed by Gov. Chris Christie in January2014, the law makes it a criminal offenseif a dog interferes, harms or kills a guide orservice dog. “An owner can be fi ned or have

to serve jail time,” said Westlund, urging dog owners to secure their fences, not interfere with guide dogs and let a blind person know if someone is approaching. The law was named for Dusty, a nine-month-old German Shepherd attacked by a Pit Bull in 2010 in Woodcliff Lake.Dusty received almost 100 stitches, lost four teeth and was emotionallytraumatized. Westlund, who calls Moose her best friend, fi nds this deeply distressing. “Moose has already saved my life once,” said Westlund who is currently searching for employment. The two were at a crosswalk when Westlund instructed Moose to cross. Instead, he wouldn’t budge, as he realized there was a car approaching the intersection.

ABOUT PILOT DOGSPilot Dogs mission statement is to provide the fi nest of guide dogs to the qualifi ed sightless. This service is available without charge, and includes the Pilot Dog, four weeks in-residence training, and round trip transportation. Four people were trained with their Pilot Dogs in 1950; and from this humble beginning the program has grown to serve approximately 150 every year.

For more information, contact the organization at (614) 221-6367 or email [email protected]. Pilot Dogs is located at 625 West Town St., Columbus, Ohio, 43215.

Securing Your Computer from the Internet BadlandsIn today’s scary world of credit card theft, ravenous hackers, and zombie computers, I want to take some time to demystify some of your computing worries. How do you protect yourself and your computer against these threats?

USE�COMMON�SENSE.

For some reason, when it comes to technology, this rule goes out the window. If someone calls you on the phone to tell you that your computer is infected with a virus and asks for a credit card, hang up. If you get an email from a friend requesting you send them a MoneyPak, press the delete key. Don’t hit the link. If a seemingly legitimate email shows up in your inbox from a popular shipping company, instead of clicking the hyperlink, hover your mouse (on a computer) or click and hold (on a smartphone) to reveal where the link is taking you. If it is pointing to a random website rather than a legitimate shipper like www.fedex.com, then maybe you shouldn’t click on it.

USE�A�SITE�BLOCKING�TOOL.�

When Google searching your next trending pop news topic, like “Jennifer Lawrence,” you will be presented with about 32,200,000 results in half a second. How do you know which sites will harm you? Insert a site blocking tool into your browser. Their job is to fi nd the bad websites and block you from clicking on them. Check out McAfee SiteAdvisor. This free tool’s primary mission is to block and warn you of malicious sites that might be loaded with malware, or setup to steal your passwords.

ANTI-VIRUS�AND�MALWARE�PROTECTIONS.�

If you’re using a computer without these three installed, you are opening yourself up to having your computer taken over by rogue hackers. I consistently get asked the question: “Should I pay for Anti-Virus?” My rule of thumb is pretty simple — free is for home use paid is business use. Currently, I recommend Avast for Mac or PC. Download and install the free version Malwarebytes and run it on occasion or if you are getting strange pop-ups.

BACKUP�YOUR�DATA.

For home users, this is easy. Either buy an external hard drive or sign up with an online backup provider and set your computer to backup regularly. For businesses, consult with your local trusted IT provider. If you don’t have one, head over to www.trustyourITguy.com. There is no simple fi x to keeping you safe on the internet badlands. Handle security by being aware and adding security layers.

In order to keep everyone safe at Halloween, especially our children, the Maple Shade Police Department offers these tips... Safe Halloween stands for the following:

S: Swords, knives and similar costume accessories should be short, soft and fl exible.

A: Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult. F: Fasten refl ective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you. E: Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating

them. Limit the amount of treats you eat.

H: Hold a fl ashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you. Always WALK and don’t run from house to house.

A: Always test make up in a small area fi rst. Remove it before bedtime to prevent possible skin and eye irritation.

L: Look both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks wherever possible.

L: Lower your risk for serious eye injury by not wearing decorative contact lenses.

O: Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffi c to stay safe.

W: Wear well-fi tting masks, costumes and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips and falls. Wear fl ame-resistant costumes.

E: Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.

E: Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit homes. Don’t stop at dark houses.

N: Never walk near lit candles or luminaries. Never accept rides from strangers.

Red Ribbon WeekThe mission of the Maple Shade Community Alliance is to promote the health and well-being of individuals in Maple Shade through the reduction of alcohol and substance abuse. We accomplish this through ongoing community involvement, collaboration, education, and quality programs for both children and adults. Our hope is for a community that promotes wellness and is free of the misuse and abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. The Maple Shade Community Alliance joins forces each year with other groups interested in encouraging community members to take a stand against drugs. The week of October 23- 31 has been designated national Red Ribbon Week. This program has been in effect since 1985. It was started to show a national commitment to the fi ght against drug abuse. Each year our school children celebrate this week by hearing about safe and healthy ways to enjoy themselves. Our youngest students share ideas on ways to have fun and be safe. While our older children brainstorm ways to keep themselves busy without the use of any illegal substance. They hear from mentors who share their own stories of strength against the pressures of all youth. They are encouraged to think of an individual who they could turn to in the event they are approached by someone trying to entice them to try something illegal. This year, our high school mentors will visit each school and talk to the students about healthy ways to have fun. Each studentwill be given a token to remind them of the message they heard from the high school student who visited their class. Please take the opportunity to expand on this message when your child comes home with that story of their visitor and shares the pencil or ribbon they received.

Numbers, numbers all around us. Add this. Count that. What time is it? How much does it weigh? How longis it? These are all part of the foundation of mathematics. Even the youngest children employ math skills in their everyday lives. Have you ever watched a baby learning to stand for the fi rst time? They are estimating how far they are from a stable object to hold on to as they pull themselves up. Think about a toddler fi xing a bowl of cereal for the fi rst time. They are employing measurement skills as they fi ll the bowl with both cereal and milk. It is never too early to help your child build a strong mathematical foundation. The critical thinking skills developed in mathematics will benefi t your child throughout their entire lives. Be sure to bring math into the home and car rides or any other place you fi nd the opportunity.

Make Math fun and a positive experience for your child by following these tips.

• Allow children to count whenever possible. For the youngest children be sure to count out loud as you give them a Cheerio or Goldfi sh cracker.

• Practice math facts while in the car. Add or subtract the numbers you see as you are driving. For example, a speed limit sign that says 25 could be a math problem of 5 minus 2.

• Bring your children into the kitchen while you cook and bake. Have them measure and read recipes.

• Play games that will develop critical thinking skills and strengthen basic math facts such Backgammon or Yahtzee.

Main St. The sidewalks were packed with onlookers on this bright and sunny day, and we watched as three of our children received beautiful trophies and showed off beautiful smiles and hand waves to all. First-place winner was Vicki Gargel; her theme was “9 shower of Roses for Maple Shade Tercentenary.” Second-place winner was Patty McElliot, cute as could be in her sailor outfi t, and her theme was “Anchors Away.” Third-place winner was Jackie Newell in a fl oat representing the Eternal Flame at the

licenses; the police station and a couple of fi re engines were also there. Over the years our Main Street slowed down because of more cars, the malls, and everybody just seemed to like tohop into their cars and shop for bargains. Back in 1964 we did not even have our own high school. Boys and girls living west of Forklanding Road went to Merchantville High School, and the students east of Forklanding Road went to Moorestown High. I am sure there are a lot of newcomers to the Shade who don’t know about our history but are interested in knowing. Being a longtime member of the Historical Society of Maple Shade, up there in age, and not getting around as much anymore, I am pleading for new members to join us and keep the history alive and kicking. You only have to visit our Little Red

gravesite of John F. Kennedy. I can still see that “Shining Flame.” Back then, Main Street was very busy and a good moneymaking business districtbecause almost all of us Shaders walked all over town and spent our money there. We had two 5-and-10 stores; about eight bars; fi ve doctor’s offi ces; three gas stations; three drugstores; White’s Men’sand Women’s Apparel Fashion Store; two hardware stores; Radford Jewelers; Schucks Luncheonette, where our teen-agers stopped to dance and socialize with their friends; two shoemakers; Garro Tailor; a post offi ce at Margaret Avenue and Main Street, next door to Firestone’s where you could buy a good TV set; a Penn Jersey for tires or auto parts; Mimi’s Gift Shop; and our arts supply store, which is still there today. Main Street and Maple Avenue was where you paid your taxes and got your

School House or train station to capturethe joy of the treasures that our president,Betty Anne Procopio, has preserved over the many years. Trust me! You will be fascinated. There was also a silo on Collins Lane. The way that God’s sun has cast those tree branches upon it makes me feel good.
