INSIDE THIS ISSUE
KRYSTAL TOMASSO/The Sun
Thomas and Rosemary Larson were crowned the winners of Delrans Holiday House Competition. It takes five days for the decorations
to be propped up and positioned to create the perfect outdoor holiday dcor. Of all the pieces that grace the winter wonderland, the
Larsons favorites are the little sign in front of Scooby that is hand-made and a holiday greeting from the family. According to the Lar-
sons, the other piece that is a favorite is their little penguin who counts down until Christmas. They said children always come by and
take a count from their lawn.

pipe valve
By KRYSTAL TOMASSO
The Sun
The rain trickled, the floods
came and the Riverside Park com-
munity by the Delaware River
was saturated. The pipe for storm
water off Stewart Avenue drains
water into the Delaware River. It
is supposed to, at least. However,
according to Council President
Gary Catrambone, this has not
been the case for years. The pipe
is broken, the bank is eroded and
the flap valve is broken. It is caus-
ing damage to many of the homes
in the community by the bank.
The pipe broke 25 years ago.
The flap valve was open, making
it a water super-highway,
Catrambone said. The issue is
we need to replace that pipe and
the valve and support the pipe.
The plan is to replace the end
of the pipe and install a new flap
valve.
The contractor will be repair-
ing the beam to the way it was in
order to support the pipe. We are
not changing anything with the

DELRAN HIGH SCHOOL WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW
By NICK COHEN
The Sun
For the first time in 38 years, the Delran
High School wrestling team will have a new
voice as Nathan Marter takes over for South
Jersey legend Dennis Smith who retired at the
end of last season.
Smith is the winningest wrestling coach in
South Jersey history, with a record of 605-196-
5. The Bears list of accomplishments under
Smith is lengthy. Delran won 25 league cham-
pionships, 10 district team titles, a pair of sec-
tional championships and 26 holiday tourna-
ments. The Wall of Fame in Delrans
wrestling room lists 73 district champs and 24
regional champions to go along with those
state accolades.
Its time, Smith said. Because Im not in
the building. Im a retired teacher. And I really
believe, especially for wrestling, that you need
to be in the building. So that became a factor. I
cant move like I used to, and wrestling is the
kind of sport where you really want to demon-
strate, get on the mat and show moves. That
was my specialty. I used to love doing that.
During Smiths first 37 years, Delran had
only one losing season. And that came in the
first year when the Bears were 1-16. On an in-
dividual basis, Smith has coached a pair of
two-time state champions in Brett Matter and

Bill Duff. Smiths 1992 team had
six regional finalists and sent
seven to states.
Smith was a wrestler in
his own right, as he became the
first Burlington County wrestler
to capture a state crown when
he was a senior at Lenape
High School in 1968. He will not
completely ride off into the sun-
set, as he will serve as an
assistant on Marters staff this
season.
The timing was good, because
of the 600 career victories, I was
able to reach last winter. It was a
good swan song. And we have
somebody in the program whos
just ready to go, Smith said.
Nathan Marters going to be an
excellent coach. So the timing
was perfect. But I still love
wrestling so much that I just said,
Lets switch.
Now that he is not the head
coach, Smith has allowed himself
to look back and reflect.
Its been a great ride, Smith
said. I never expected to do
something like this, but the years
and the wins just kept piling up.
Its kind of funny, but instead of
remembering all the wins, you re-
member the losses more.
There havent been too many of
those for a coach who has been
able to accomplish so many large
things for a smaller school like
Delran.
