Cone-E-Island Our Tropical Paradise

The Crier — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 01:20:11 +0000

Step into Cone E Island for a little trip to the tropics and plenty of great things to eat. Gourmet ice cream treats are their specialty but it doesn’t stop there. They have a fantastic menu of sandwiches, wraps and other goodies like Caribbean Chicken, Pulled Pork, Nice Onion Rings and even Southern Fried Pickles. Great Gourmet Burgers too. Prices are MORE than reasonable. So next time you’re hungry for lunch, dinner or just a snack give Cone-E-Island a try.

I personally recommend the Buffalo Chicken Wrap and the Big Kahuna Banana Split.

Check out their menus and more at their website.

Cone-E-Island is in the Murphy’s Shopping Center on the White Horse Pike and Atco Ave.

Eco Minded Assumption Elementary School

The Crier — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:28:42 +0000

Capri Sun drink pouches being thrown away at the Assumption Elementary School in Atco will soon be a thing of the past.

This is because the school now earns two cents for every one of those pouches they collect and return to a company called TerraCycle, which makes affordable, eco-friendly products from packaging waste.

TerraCycle has created a fundraising opportunity for the school.

“We are glad to have the opportunity to clean our little part of the world in such an easy, convenient but effective way,” said parent and organizer of the program at school, Gabrielle Purvis.

The school has formed a “Brigade,” which is part of a free nationwide program that pays schools and non-profits to collect non-recyclable waste that would otherwise go to landfill.

The program benefits kids and adults as they are now educated about recycling and resource conservation and inspired to make a difference in their own community.

More than 70,000 schools and community groups around the country have signed up to help collect over 100 million used pieces of packaging.

The participating organizations will earn a total of over $2 million this year.

Atco Raceway Turns Fifty

The Crier — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 01:40:37 +0000

If you think the Atco Raceway has been here forever you are wrong. But it has been here for 50 years. Remember the AM Radio commercial with the guy yelling “Sunday, Sunday”!! Just think about how cars and the technology of drag racing have both changed over the years. If you haven’t been there lately you should go some weekend when they are having an event. OR just go and watch the street racers or drag bikes or jet cars. There’s a lot going on over there. The Courier Post Online has a nice article with pictures and a history lesson. Go check it out Here!!
