Safety upgrades
EMS to improve vehicles
with FEMA grant. PAGE 2

Mt. Laurel resident Shayna
Simon was one of the most deco-
rated athletes at the Katz JCC
Maccabi Games in Cherry Hill
last week.
Sitting in the swimmers
warm-up area with three medals
around her neck, Simon, 13, sat
with a smile on her face, greeting
swimmer after swimmer who
came to talk to her.
Simon wasnt the fastest swim-
mer at the Maccabi Games, but
she may have been the one with
the most heart.
Simon swam in seven special
events at the Maccabi Games. The
special swimming events are non-
competitive heats for children
with special needs. Participating
children receive medals for com-
pleting the events. The special
heats give those kids a chance to
compete in the same events as the
other athletes.
Simon first learned to swim at
the JCC Camps in Medford. She
has been going to classes there for
about six years.
I learned how to do the
freestyle and the backstroke, she
said.
Shaynas mother Laura was
originally going to enroll Shayna
in the special bowling event, but
switched gears after talking to of-
ficials from the Katz JCC. Shayna
participates in the Katz JCCs
ACHAD program.
They called us up and asked if
Shayna could swim, Laura said.
Shes a very strong swimmer be-
cause she goes to the JCC Camp
out in Medford, and they were re-
ally enthusiastic and want to
push for the kids to learn how to
swim.
Shaynas desire to participate
in the Maccabi Games captured
the hearts of the Simon familys
synagogue, Adath Emanu-El. The
cost to participate in the games
was $950.
A lot of the people from the
synagogue and a lot of our
friends donated so Shayna could
attend, Laura said.
For Shayna, the experience has
been well worth the donations.
While she enjoys the swimming
and the competition, her favorite
part of the experience has been
making new friends and meeting
kids from around the world.
Making new friends took place
at home as well as during compe-
tition. The Simons participated
as a host family for the events. A
group of swimmers from Bridge-
water stayed with the family for
the week.
Shayna also made friends at
the multitude of Maccabi Games
events. She talked about meeting
athletes from the Israeli delega-
tion and having fun with kids
from Team Baltimore during
hang time. The kids invited
Shayna to take part in games
such as Guitar Hero and Dance
Dance Revolution.
I played on the guitar, it was
like I was in a rock band, Shayna
said.
The friendships Shayna made
extended to the nightly events for

Mt. Laurel EMS will be pur-
chasing new safety technology for
its vehicles after receiving a
$96,000 grant from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
and the Department of Homeland
Security.
The Assistance to Firefighters
Grant helps to fund fire depart-
ments and emergency medical
services in municipalities across
the United States. Rep. Jon Run-
yan, a resident of Mt. Laurel and
member of the Congressional
Fire Services Caucus, announced
the grant last week.
Mt. Laurel is using the money
to make safety and communica-
tion improvements to its existing
fleet of vehicles, according to
township manager Maureen
Mitchell.
Our project is to upgrade our
entire fleet to the latest in new
fleet safety technology, she said.
The township is purchasing
the Zoll Roadsafety RS 4000 Drive
System to add to the vehicles. The
safety system includes four cam-
eras, data reporting, vehicle diag-
nostics and integration with
other systems and technology al-
ready installed on the vehicles.
Mitchell said the safety of resi-
dents as well the township's re-
sponders was the first priority
when there were discussions on
how to use the money.
We are committed to continu-
ously improving our EMS fleet
operations safety record to pro-
tect both our responders and the
public, Mitchell said.
Mitchell said the new technolo-
gy system exceeds all National
Fire Protection Association and
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration standards.
This is not the first time Mt.
Laurel has received an Assis-
tance to Firefighters Grant. Last
year, Mt. Laurel Fire District No.
1 also received grants for protec-
tive equipment. The district re-
ceived $41,400 last year and a
$274,500 grant in 2010. The district
applies for the grant on an annual
basis.
FEMA issues numerous Assis-
tance to Firefighters Grants to
municipalities over the course of
the year. An estimated $288.8 mil-
lion in grants have been awarded
so far in the 2013 fiscal year.

cert of progressive rock at Mt.
Laurel Library on Sunday, Sept. 14

combines the emotive and sym-
phonic sounds of the cello with
driving beats to create a cinemat-
ic, progressive rock sound. Con-
tinually developing their own
unique style of cello rock music,
cellists Simon Cummings, Ben
Muoz and Nicole Myers unleash
vitality and rhythmic drive in
their music and dare to venture
past classical expectations.
