The unbearable odor from
smelly soccer shoes was the cata-
lyst that resulted in Skunkies.
Skunkies, three-by-five cloth
satchels, eliminate odor, absorb
moisture, and prevent odor-caus-
ing bacteria.
The product, of which hun-
dreds of thousands have sold, was
the brainchild of Jill Levin and
Annemarie McCartney, both of
Voorhees. Skunkies are going on
their fourth year.
Levin said she and McCartney
were on their way to a soccer
tournament and had a bunch of
boys in the back seat who were
changing their shoes and the
smell that emanated was un-
bearable.
Levin said she learned from a
marketing guru in New York City
who said to take your worst prob-
lem and remedy it and thats how
people start businesses.
The Skunkies slogan is Get
the Stink Out.
Levin has three kids and Mc-
Cartney has four. Six are boys
and one is a girl. At first, the pair
started giving Skunkies out to
people and then some people
wanted to buy them.
We knew we were onto some-
thing, Levin said, noting they
were making them in the house at
the time.
Their big break happened
while attending an indoor soccer
tournament at City College in
New York when they gave refer-
ees Skunkies.
Also at the event was the chair-
man of the board of Bed Bath &
Beyond, whose son was playing
soccer.
Levin said he flipped over the
product.
Skunkies can be found in Bed
Bath & Beyond, Kids Footlocker
and Famous Footwear.
Also, Levin and McCartney
were recently featured on QVC.
They were featured on
www.womenentrepreneur.com and
in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
At first, Skunkies, which are
sold in pairs, were for sporting
equipment, but people have found
other applications for them like
laundry baskets or cars.

ing on keeping owned animals in
their homes so they are not sur-
rendered or abandoned.
The TNR method, despite the
mantra promulgated by TNR ad-
vocates, is not effective, not sup-
ported by science, does not result
in fewer feral cats outdoors, has
serious consequences for wildlife,
natural resources, public health,
and property rights, and is seen
by many as re-abandonment of
domestic cats.
If you live in Voorhees, ask
yourself if you would like to live
next door to a dozen or so man-
aged free-roaming feral cats and
then decide if TNR is something
you wish to support.
As someone who has rescued,
tamed, and placed dozens of feral
and semi-feral cats and as a vol-
unteer wildlife rehabilitator, I
could not in good conscience sup-
port a method that produces so
much collateral damage.
To learn more, visit the website
of The Wildlife Society.
There you will find 20 pages of
information from experts.

cluded.

on July 28 from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
in the Adventure Aquarium on
the Camden waterfront for a gath-
ering that the county hopes will
become an annual event.
The program was sponsored by
TD Bank, Boomerang and AMG
logistic, all Camden County busi-
nesses that work with new busi-
ness and existing businesses ex-
panding and moving into the
county.
During the program, develop-
ment and real estate opportuni-
ties in the county were highlight-
ed by Joe Thomas and Anthony
Perno on behalf of the City of
Camden.
The keynote speaker was Tra-
cye McDaniel of Choose New Jer-
sey. Choose New Jersey is an in-
dependent, privately funded and
managed non-profit created to
promote New Jersey as a place to
invest and do business. Choose
New Jersey works to advocate the
states core strengths strategic
access to local and global finan-
cial markets, a highly-trained
workforce, world-class sea and
airports, state-of-the-art energy
and communications infrastruc-
ture and elite research universi-
ties.
Choose New Jersey also mar-
kets incentive programs to attract
and retain companies that are
creating jobs and provides policy
recommendations to make New
Jersey a home for balanced
growth. A state level partnership
has been formed and is com-
prised of Choose New Jersey,
NJEDA (the states bank) and the
state Business Action Center.
In addition, a lunch and learn
series being held this fall was un-
veiled by the county economic de-
velopment director, Sandi Kelly.
The upcoming workshops are de-
signed to strengthen the working
relationship between the county
economic development program
and the real estate community in
order to further their common
goal of attracting and retaining
business in the county.
The Lunch and Learn work-
shops will feature a wide variety
of speakers from local, county
and state government presenting
practical information on the
many programs available to as-
sist businesses in expanding or
looking to locate in the county.
