Dan Higgins Wood Flooring

S I P,

SAVOR

"My model was to create an installation company that did excellent work, as scheduled, and respond to customer's needs quickly."

In 1985, Dan Higgins Wood Flooring Warehouse was founded by Dan Higgins at 22 years old. Dan Higgins started installing floors himself; more than 35 years later, we serve customers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware out of two showrooms.

"Wood flooring has become the most affordable long-term solution for floor coverings in your home and it’s a permanent solution to your flooring needs."

We pride ourselves in selling products that will be beautiful, practical, and affordable. We offer products from only the best manufacturers we trust.

ummer Is Here! After such a challenging year, this Summer will be more special than ever. I cannot wait to gather together again with friends and family to celebrate hot summer days and warm summer nights. Pool parties, backyard BBQ’s, ball games, beach days, NJ boardwalks, boat rides and so much more make summers in NJ so special.

So many of us take pride in our home ownership by sprucing up our yards with bright colorful flowers and fresh new landscaping. This year my vegetable garden is full of a variety of lettuce, tomatoes and peppers as well as eggplant, squash, broccoli, and tons of herbs. I am ready and waiting for these vegetables to flourish so I can make delicious summer salads, grilled vegetables and amazing sauces with all the home-grown ingredients. For me, there is nothing like walking out your back door, picking what you need, creating something fresh and delicious and then sharing it with others.

Here are two simple summer dishes we love at our home: (Add a crispy grilled piece of bread lightly brushed with olive oil and salt to both) Fresh Jersey Tomato Salad: Fresh Jersey Cherry Tomatoes sliced in quarters or halves Fresh celery diced very small

What Are Your Summer Plans?

Two or three cloves of garlic smashed to release flavor Large bunch of basil sliced Extra Virgin Olive Oil (high quality) Salt and Pepper Mix ingredients together Drizzle aged balsamic or balsamic glaze on top Grilled Eggplant: Heat grill on high Slice eggplant into thin circles and lay out on flat surface or sheet pan Lightly salt and let sit for 10 min (this process brings out the sweetest flavor in the eggplant) Rinse off the salt and pat dry Lay out flat on sheet pan and lightly spray with olive oil and sprinkle with salt Now you’re ready to grill!

Place slices directly on grill and keep flipping until eggplant is golden brown Place hot slices in bowl and let cool slightly (just about 3-5 min) Mix together with one or two smashed garlic cloves and fresh chopped mint Drizzle extra virgin olive oil to coat eggplant Sprinkle with salt and pepper if needed Mix well and let sit room temperature for at least 30 min to an hour Eat as is or with a crispy piece of bread ENJOY! ■

Flying W Airport & Resort

lying W Airport & Resort was built in the 1960s by Bill Whitesell; hence the "W" in its name. Mr. Whitesell initially envisioned a place to provide air transportation services to those involved in building the Alaska PipeLine.

He also wanted to provide a place where both travelers and local families could swim in the famous airplane-shaped swimming pool, and enjoy the outdoor Tiki Bar. Over the years, both the airplane- shaped swimming pool, and outdoor Tiki Bar have provided enjoyment to many who still visit to share their wonderful memories.

Today you’ll find that Flying W maintains the same experi-

ence imagined by Mr. Whitesell, with quality service provided with our entertainment services for locals in Medford, Mt. Laurel, and Lumberton, as well as people flying to/ from New Jersey to enjoy. In addition, Flying W provides a stress-free testing center for aspiring pilots to reach their dreams.

Don't forget to ask about our party pavilions for rent, call 609-267-7673 (between 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 pm) and for party information information contact 609-224-1167. ■ flyingwevents@gmail.com 60 Fostertown Rd Medford, NJ 08055 Flying W www.flyingwairport.com

Leaders of the Pack

I

t has been more than 30 years since brothers Andrew and Jimmy DePiano made the bold move to start their own company, and A&J Flooring Outlet continues to set the standard in the industry It may not have been so obvious in the moment, but looking back now it becomes crystal clear: 1989 was a turning point in the lives of the DePiano brothers.

Working at the time for an established flooring company— where Jimmy ran the day-today operations and younger sibling Andrew was an experienced installer—they easily could have been content to stay the course and likely would have carved out long, successful careers in the industry. But they had loftier goals in mind.

“You have to be a leader, not a follower. That’s true in life as well as in business,” Jimmy DePiano says. “If you show me a follower, I’ll show you a failure.”

Armed with that mantra, and the belief that they could offer customers the vast knowledge, affordable prices and pleasant experience they deserved, the brothers confidently took the leap to venture out on their own and founded A&J Flooring Outlet. More than three decades later, the company continues to set the benchmark for quality in carpet, hardwood flooring and much more.

About 10 years ago, the company also branched out into kitchen and bath remodeling to meet the high demand for these services. Just as the initial move to open their own flooring business was a tremendous success for the brothers, the same can be said for the renova- tion side, as they can handle every aspect of the project from design to completion.

“Kitchens and bathrooms have become a big part of what we do over the past 10 years,” please see LEADER, page 6

Mah Jongg & More, In Person!

t’s back! In-person game play is finally back! Time to celebrate!

Play mah jongg, canasta, pinochle, or bridge in person in a small-group setting hosted

by Game Friendzy. The club’s private game room safely accommodates two tables of up to 8 players in accordance with Covid health protocols.

Enjoy, once again, the clicking of tiles, the shuffling of cards, and face-to-face conversation and laughter with real, live people. As per New Jersey guidelines, indoor masking is required.

The gaming space is open weekly, with one of the four games -- mah jong, canasta, pinochle, bridge -- offered each week. Play is by reservation only, and the fee for a two-hour time period is $8 per person.

If you’re ready to wave goodbye to Zoom game play in your rearview mirror and instead reserve a chair at a real-not-vir-

tual table, call Game Friendzy today at 856-795-PLAY (7529).

“Playing games like mah jongg and bridge online has been a wonderful alternative to help keep us entertained and engaged during the months of social isolation,” says Game Friendzy owner Bernadette Hennessy May. “But now that conditions are improving and social restrictions are being eased, it’s a great time to venture away from our computer screens, out of our houses, and into the company of others for some face-toface fun,” says Hennessy May. Fun like mah jonng, which features 144 tiles, a mah jongg card, and four players, who attempt form “hands” of 14 tiles.

Or Canasta, the classic card game of “melds;” pinochle, a trick-taking card game; and bridge, the popular card gamee said to easy to learn and impossible to master.

Hennessy May anticipates

adding more days of game play as people’s comfort level with being out and about again increases and pandemic conditions continue to improve.

Online games and lessons will still continue. To see all the gaming options, visit the Game Friendzy calendar at www. gamefriendzy.com/calendar. ■

FREE CONSULTATION BACK PAIN • LEG PAIN • KNEE PAIN • FOOT PAIN IS SURGERY THE ANSWER?

BEFORE YOU CONSIDER SURGERY CONSIDER THESE POINTS: • Back surgery can cost $50,000 to $100,000 or more • Recovery can be very painful and can take months or years • Surgery may or may not relieve your pain • Dependence on prescription drugs may occur after surgery • Missed work can amount to $1,000s in lost wages • Outcomes may be uncertain, and surgery is not reversible

LEADER

continued from page 5 DePiano says. “You can only do so much with flooring; you have to grow your business in other places. That was a huge step for us and there was some opposition. Why create more headaches for yourself? But sometimes you have to take on the challenge. I know people in this business who, up to a few years ago, only sold carpeting.

You can’t run a business that way; you have to diversify.

“This business has been very good to us, that’s all I can say.

It’s been a great ride.”

Imagine walking into a discount store and finding every item marked down lower than it has ever been marked down before. That is what it is like in their warehouse every minute of every day.

ply does not have the overhead that all the others have and can therefore hit lower price points.

How much lower you ask?

Shockingly, every mattress in her warehouse is 55 percent to 80 percent lower than regular store prices.

Not only has she taken all of the overhead out of buying a mattress, she also eliminated the deceptive advertising, please see MATTRESS, page 10

Local Gym Gets Crushed By Pandemic

I

n 2004, Mandy & Cary Huggard started a Sports Performance Training company in conjunction with their Physical Therapy clinic, The Training Room. Over the past 17 years, they have worked with thousands of youth athletes between the ages of 7-18 in their Cherry Hill facility.

When COVID struck in March of 2020, the Sports Performance program was hit hard. They tried to move it outdoors and online, but had limited success. The business was forced to close for over 4 months.

Although they’ve been able to reopen, the COVID restrictions placed on the business impacted the way athletes were able to train. The staff spent their time figuring out how to best serve the athletes under these restrictions.

It’s been over a year since their full Sports Performance Programs have run, but a huge announcement was recently made.

THE HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT Founders, Mandy & Cary Huggard announced that they are bringing back their speed classes and have developed an updated curriculum with smaller more individualized programming for their youth athletes.

The new programs include Fundamental, Junior Varsity and Varsity Classes to serve local youth athletes ages 7-18 who want to perform better at their respective sports.

Owner, Cary Huggard was

asked why it was so important to reopen and continue to serve the athlete community and his answer was very inspiring.

THE STORY THAT STOKED THE FIRE During the quarantine time, Cary received an email from a high school athlete who had his lacrosse season shut down. He was a HS junior and was very upset that all the hard work he had put in at TTR was not going to be put to the test on the lacrosse field.

The young man expressed his desire to train again this summer and come back for his senior year stronger, faster and better than ever.

That email inspired Cary to forge forward and create the best program possible to help athletes pursue their dreams.

“So much has been taken from these young athletes that I want to do my part in making sure they can come back next season and enjoy and excel in their sports” said Cary.

A VIRAL REPSONSE FROM LOCAL PARENTS The announcement of the return of speed classes and the personalized strength programs had an overwhelming response.

Due to this response, they only have space for 40 more athletes during their summer program.

They expect to be fully sold out by mid-June.

Tips From South Jersey Window Tinting

nstalling films on the interior windows of your home may not be at the top of your home-makeover “to-do” list, but South Jersey Window Tinting has several good reasons why homeowners should consider this a priority. South Jersey Window Tinting believes in, “Block the Sun, Not the View” concept.

As one of the area's largest contractors of window films, South Jersey Window Tinting has more than three decades of experience and knowledge in the importance of Window Film. Here are some tips why window tinting is essential: Why should people seriously consider investing in window tinting for their home?

“For heat, glare, fading of flooring, furniture, paintings, wallpaper, etc. We also offer safety film to protect from glass breakage and intruders”.

How does putting film on the windows reduce energy costs?

“By installing film, you are not allowing 100% of the cold air to penetrate through the glass surface, reducing heating costs. What does come through during the winter is trapped, which keeps the heat inside your home”.

Talk a little bit about how your product provides protection from the sun?

“This is the latest, nanotechnology film that is applied to the interior of the existing glass,

which insulates homes both summer and winter. It protects you and your home from harmful UV rays”.

How much does it cost?

“Pricing is job specific. Call or email us to receive a FREE estimate. We run several pricing incentives throughout the year...We have one going on now!”

What's involved in this installation?

“Jobs vary from one to the

T

next. Our experienced installers will go over everything with you from start to finish”.

With most people spending more time at home, dealing with excessive glare and the need for privacy has become a priority. Ask the experts at South Jersey Window Tinting for suggestions!

Thinking about Auto Tinting? Our products block out 99.9% of UV rays to improve safety and privacy. Our films

are approved by the American Cancer Society. We are South Jersey’s #1 Auto Tinting company since 1985!

Concerned about break-ins in our communities? Turn Burglary into attempted burglary with Clear Safety Film that can be applied to your existing windows! Safety film strengthens your glass, will hold glass together in the event of an impact and stops flying glass which will deter burglaries. Clear

continued from page 8 phony sales and high pressure sales tactics that are unfortunately all too common nowadays.

“My goal is for my customers to have fun buying a mattress,” Cutry says. “And if they are able to come here and find lower prices than they will ever see them any place else ever again, every minute of every day, and not have to haggle for those prices, that is a fun buying experience. I want every person that walks out of here to have a smile on their face. We want to be a breath of fresh air in the marketplace.”

Saving every customer 55 percent to 80 percent every minute of every day in a no haggle, no hassle, no pressure environment? That’s a breath of fresh air alright. Keep it up, Carole!

Take it from American Cancer Society (ACS) DetermiNation team member and cancer survivor, Charissa Fahnestock, who says, “my favorite thing about staying healthy over the summer is taking advantage of the early sunrise to beat the heat and get in miles before work.” She makes sure to stay hydrated and re-apply sunscreen every few hours as she trains for Bike-A-Thon coming up on September 19, 2021. Fellow team member, Ivo Becica, plans to vary up his exercise routine this summer, incorporating some swimming and strength training, in addition to logging his meaningful miles through walking, running and cycling, as he prepares for our fall events.

You can help reduce your risk of cancer by staying active, not smoking, and making healthy choices like eating right. ACS recommends following a healthy eating pattern at all ages, which includes foods

that are high in nutrients in amounts that help you get to and stay at a healthy body weight. If you’re headed to a picnic in the park or neighborhood cookout, there are many nutrient-packed recipes to be found on cancer.org.

However you plan to celebrate the summer, there are many healthy and active ways to do so through our DetermiNation Endurance Series program! Combine passion with purpose and sign up today to ride Bike-A-Thon with us or run with our team at one of our upcoming fall races to honor loved ones touched by cancer.

DetermiNation is the American Cancer Society’s event endurance program, spanning a variety of sports including cycling, running, hiking, yoga, and more. The collective efforts of the dedicated athletes who use their fortitude to help raise funds to take down cancer are nothing short of amazing.
