City vigil remembers ‘09 victims of violence
By GEORGE MAST • Courier-Post Staff • December 31, 2009
Sister Helen Cole holds a vigil each year for Camden's homicide victims. On Wednesday, Dec. 30,. 2009, she lit a candle for Jamar Cruz, a 9-year-old victim.
CAMDEN
- Shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sister Helen Cole paused in prayer after lighting a red candle in the front of a Camden church.
Cole prayed for peace and for the family of 9-year-old Jamarr Cruz, who died March 31 after he was brutally beaten inside his Ablett Village home.
“We honor the brief life of Jamarr,” Cole said softly. “We ask that you give us hope and peace in the future. Help us to make choices that will help Camden to be a safer place to live.”
An hour later, Cole lit another candle at St. Joan of Arc Church — this candle for 24-year-old Tyson Maddox, who was gunned down April 24 in an alley off of MacArthur Drive.
In all, Cole will light 34 candles to remember the city’s 33 homicide victims so far this year and a 68-year-old man killed in a police-involved shooting. That death remains under investigation.
Hey Wait! This Has Nothing To Do With Candles! But A Nice Story Anyway
Candle Club keeps flame bright
The interior of the supper club is dim, though.

Part of what makes the Candle Club the Candle Club is that its owner rarely agrees to talk about it in the media.
He doesn’t advertise the club, and he doesn’t actively recruit members.
Instead, owner Louis Thompson allows the Candle Club - a mysterious, throw-back supper club with carpet on the walls and no identifying sign on the building - to grow organically, building on a reputation developed during 50 years of business.

“Candles are no longer used only when electricity supply is disrupted. More and more people are being drawn to Vastu Shastra, according to which, lighting candles is termed as auspicious,” said Rakesh Mohil of Delhi-based AR Creations that deals in home decor. Besides floating candles, those with stands are popular. Platforms made of wood, metal and precious stones are used to enhance value.
Voicing the popular craze that “without candles, any festival is incomplete,” Rina of Rinart Wrap said, “Candles are no more the white drab candles of previous years but are available in different colours, shapes and adorned with stones, ribbons and others.” It is not only the best gift to give but also a symbol of peace, she asserted.
Echoing a similar view, Suraj Yadav, who deals in scented candles and has set up his stall in the ongoing exhibition ‘The Carnival of Light’, reiterated, “Candle dispels darkness, smells good and is pleasing to the eye. Scented ones make excellent gifts and are also objects d’art.”
Consumers are increasingly opting for eco-friendly items and candles make for a good gift. “They are also light on the pocket,” said Raisha, a city resident.

Candle Burning Tips to get the Most out of Your Burning Candles
Candles help create a warm and inviting atmosphere in many homes, offices, and even some four star hotel suites. Candles are a joy to burn, and many families use the lighting of the candles in their homes as an end of the work/school day ritual. For these families the lighting of the candle symbolizes the beginning of their time together for the day and a time to forget the stress and the hassle from work or school.
Few things make a home as cozy as a burning candle, and even fewer things can make a home smell as wonderful as scented candles. Whether you are burning a Juicy Apple jar candle, an Evening Mocha cake candle, or any of our other great candles, there are several things you should consider when lighting the candle to ensure it is a safe and enjoyable experience.
Gold Edge Hurricane Lamps
First things first. Be sure to place your candle (even jar candles) on a heat resistant surface, such as a metal candle pan, away from curtains, gas stoves, and other flammable materials. Don’t burn your candles as “stand alones”. Use a carefully chosen candle holder such as a candle lamp or a candle lantern. It is highly recommended that you place your candles and candle holders where pets and children cannot be hurt by them or knock them over. Try to keep your candles and candle holders away from opening and closing doors and ceiling fans because a draft can cause your candle to burn unevenly and inefficiently. Hurricane lamps are aptly named. Use a glass skirted candle holder, like a hurricane lamp in drafty or slightly breezy conditions.
If you are burning a jar candle that came with a lid do not use the lid to snuff out the candle. The lids are primarily decorative and are not made to withstand the heat of a burning candle. It is always best to gently blow out your candles; just don’t blow too hard and splatter the melted wax!
The most important thing to remember when burning a candle is to use common sense. If you think it isn’t in a safe spot, move it. If you don’t think you’ll remember to blow it out, leave yourself a note by your bed. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and always remember safety first.
Votive Candle Lamps and Lanterns - Functional in Many Forms
Crystal Drop Votive Stands
Votive candle lamps are a lot like long cups and you can use them both indoors and outdoors. These are available in unique designs and are suitable for those long candles. A new trend are spiked candle holders where you will see a flat base with a spike on which you fix the candle. This prevents the candle from getting dislodged.
Tealight candle lamps are the tiny, versitile lights used as groups to give a soft glow. The tealight candle holder holds the candle safely while it shines. They make beautiful centerpieces, together or individually.
One of the most beautiful candle lanterns is the Moroccan candle lanterns, which are exotic looking lanterns. Some of the brand new lanterns are even made to look aged for an antique look. Intricate bronze metalwork makes these lanterns look charming even if you do not light them. They make interesting conversation pieces when you place them on your patio or deck when you have a barbecue grilling party or at the poolside, or by your hot tub.
For the outdoors, hurricane candle holders can keep your flame intact on a breezy day during any season, whether it is winter or summer. Exquisitely designed glass candle lanterns can transform the atmosphere of your patio or deck. Many lighting stores feature unique candle lamps. You might like to go in for some scented candles that will fill your living space with fragrance, complementing the candle lamp.
Whatever the design, style or cost, you need candle holders and candle lamps to burn your candles safely.
The Many Styles and Uses of Candle Holders
