CLASSIFIEDS Page 27 T he kids have come home from school with their third report card of the year, and parents are reminded to ponder what to do with their offspring this summer. If that didn’t do the trick, then Easter vacation surely did. Moms and dads know they have just a few weeks left before the changing of the guard—from teacher to parent—when kids are home looking for something to keep from being—dare we utter it—bored. Sure, there’s something to be said for allowing the kids some carefree, unsched- uled time, as we recall from our own child- hoods. But we’re talking 10 to 12 weeks of off time and that’s a lot of time to idle away. We are fortunate here in our region to have a plethora of summer camps and activities to interest kids of all ages. Look through these listings with your kids to find just the right camps and activities to keep both of you happy all summer long. Note also that some of the camps have signup dates listed in their copy and/or ads. ALL KIDS FIRST CHILD CARE All Kids First II is a childcare center for infants, toddlers, and preschool children who reside in or out of the Vineland Completion of Millville’s historic Levoy Theatre is approxi- mately 60 percent, with the exterior looking nearly complete and the work mainly going on inside. Lauren Van Embden (pictured), chair of the theater’s board of directors, led the Vineland Rotary Club and business leaders from Millville on a tour last Tuesday. According to Van Embden, there may be a “soft opening” in early August with a grand opening celebration sometime in September. The theater will seat approximately 700, including 250 balcony seats. August will be mostly soft programming, acts that are flex- ible with dates that can be bumped up to six weeks, Van Embden said. She also noted that booking of acts at the Levoy will be coordinated with the Fine and Performing Arts Center at Cumberland County College and Appel Farm/Landis Theater, so that the same types of entertainment are not being staged at the same time. The first show will likely be a local production of the Broadway musical The Music Man, staged by the Bridgeton- based Off Broad Street Players, on August 3. Local talent will be a big part of the programming, said Van Embden. The first season will also include regular movie nights, festivals and theme events. 175 S. Main Road & 1234 W.

Firefightersresponded to the fire at 3:15 a.m. to find thehouse fully engulfed in flames. Despite mul-tiple attempts, rescue personnel were notable to enter the burning home. Four otheroccupants of the home were members ofthe same family who reside at the residenceon Church Street and were able to escape.The family was treated at local hospitals fortheir injuries, which appeared to be non-lifethreating. The cause of the fire is still underinvestigation; however, this terrible tragedycould have been prevented.NewJersey has seen an increase in thenumber of house and apartment firesrecently, resulting in tragic fatalities andcatastrophic property loss. In many cases,properly installed and maintained firesprinklers control (and typically extinguish)a fire before the fire department evenarrives on the scene. More importantly, thepresence of fire sprinklers mitigates the riskto individuals affected by the blaze, includ-ing inhabitants of the structure and fire-fighters who battle the fire.Fire sprinklers are the only proactiveformof fire protection, providing firefight-ers the time they need to do their jobs assafely and effectively as possible, and help-ing to avoid potential tragedies like the onethat occurred in Bridgeton this week.David Kurasz, Executive Director,N.J.
