Mothers Day Tributes
Grapevine readers write in about

the special women in their lives.
Mothers Day is May 11.
My Special
Grandmom
By Jenna Troyano
When 11-year-old
Jenna Troyano
was asked to
write an essay at
school, she chose
to write about
her grandmother,
Jeannette Palmieri, who has been living with
multiple sclerosis for more than 30 years.
At Ellison School, Jenna got an A for this
touching tribute, which was also published
in the Spring 2013 edition of the MS
Connection newsletter.
You have a special Grandmom, I hear my
Grandmom say to my little brother.
When I heard those words, I thought to
myself that I really do have a special grand-
mom, dont I? When I look at my friends grand-
moms, they dont look like my grandmom or do
what my grandmom does. My grandmom may
be special, but I wouldnt trade her for any
other grandmom in the world. Even though she
lives her life with multiple sclerosis, I still love
her with all of my heart.
Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disease.
Every case is different, but my grandmoms case
has gotten so bad that she cant walk. She was
diagnosed with MS at age 29 and has been

his last Saturday was a busy
day, with two big events going
on the same daySpring
Clean-Up Day in the morning
and the Cinco de Mayo Community
Celebration in the late afternoon and
eveningand many of our Main Street
Vineland volunteers putting in a long day.
It was a good day, though, for Main
Street Vineland, for downtown Vineland,
and for all of Vineland.
The conditions were just right for our
Spring Clean-Up Day. The weather and
the temperature were good, and we had
an enthusiastic response from volunteers
eager to work. The Friends of Faith group
continued their efforts at the mini-parks,
which started in April during Make a
Difference Month. We focused on areas
around town that we havent been able to
get to in the pastplanters around town,
the landscaping around parking lots, the
pedestrian alleyways that lead to and
from rear parking lots, and similar spots.
It doesnt take long for trash, weeds,
leaves, and dead plants to deface these
areas. Its a big job to tackle all the areas
on our list and, while we didnt totally
take care of the whole problem, we cer-
tainly made a dent. We hope to have
groups adopt some of these spots and
keep them tidy and attractive.
I want to thank all those who volun-
teeredfrom our own volunteer base, from
the Friends of Faith who again came out to
help us, and from other groups. Events like
this are true community undertakings and
you should all feel proud.
This coming Saturday, we go back to
the mini-parks, as well as other locations,
and add some seasonal color during
Spring Planting Day. The drill will be
repeatedmeeting in the parking lot in
back of Taste of the Islands at 9 a.m. and
spreading out to various spots. Itll hap-
pen rain or shine, so come out and join us.
Speaking of community events, this
past Saturday was topped off with a real
community celebration. Though we cele-
brated Cinco de Mayo for the past couple
of years, this was the first time that it
became a Main Street Vineland feet on
the street event celebrating the entire
community and its various cultures. All
the conditions were in our favor and the
whole event went off like a charm. First, I
want to thank the team that organized the
whole thing, headed by Jos Martinez of
Las Lomas Fresh Mexican Grille in
Landis MarketPlace and Jerome Lukas.
They were part of a team that did a
tremendous job in putting this together.
Jos has been part of all our Cinco de
Mayo celebrations, but this one, especial-
ly, showed hard work and dedication.
I also want to thank our major spon-
sorsSusquehanna Bank, Main
Pharmacy, Tortilleria El Paisano, and La
Brava Radioas well as all the others,
large and small, who contributed time,
money, and effort to make this event the
success it was. Your support is greatly
appreciated.
I want to thank the bandsthe Willy
Sutton Band, Kolmiyo, Mariachi Angeles,
and Adelantewho gave us some great
music to set just the right ambiance. I want
thank our volunteers and those groups
who helped plan the event, set up, run the
booths, and break down. Lastly, I want to
thank you for coming out and spending
some joyful hours downtown. Its always
nice to see the community come together
downtown for events like this.
Speaking of sponsorships, we are plan-
ning our Vineland Food and Wine
Festival. Though it isnt until August 9, we
are hard at work now preparing for what
should be another super event.
Sponsorships make these events possible
and Ill have more to say about this next
week. Whether youre a big corporation
or a small individual donor, your sponsor-
ship can help us and it also shows that
you care. I

Does and Donts
{ BY PAUL J. DOE, FORMER EDITOR, CUMBERLAND NEWS }
Downtime
Occupation
F
or the past few months Ive been
dealing with a lot of physical
down time. That has both its
good and bad points. The good is
that I dont have to make up excuses for
why I havent taken care of the mulch or
pruned the trees. The bad, of course, is
that I haven't taken care of the mulch or
pruned the trees.
All of that will, of course, eventually get
donejust not by me.
In the meantime, I occupy my down
time by watching much more television
than I ever have before.
And thats not a good thing.
The problem with TV these days is that
there is just too much of it. It overwhelms
and then numbs the brain.
I recently introduced my wife (a much
more selective TV viewer than myself ) to
the show, The Soup. Its on the E network
on Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. and is
hosted by a tall, skinny comedian.
The premise of the show is poking fun
at how badly people behave on the reality
shows. They do it with little clips from the
shows and snide comments from the host.
I kind of stumbled onto it and was so
intrigued that I immediately made it
must-see TV.
The first couple of times my wife
watched she couldnt believe that the clips
they were showing were from real TV
shows. Pit Bulls and Parolees, Here Comes
Honey Boo Boo, and Friday Night Tykes
were all brand new to her.
We should all be so lucky.
Now, of course I dont watch any of
those shows on a regular basis. But then I
also dont watch anything that involves a
bunch of women engaged in discussion.
I suppose that is sexist because I regu-
larly watch The Dan Patrick Show, which
is a group of men discussing sports.
In my defense, however, The Dan
Patrick Show has Sports Illustrated swim-
suit models as semi-regular guests and I
always listen intently to what those ladies
have to say.
Mostly, though, these days I just chan-
nel surf. Once the wife goes to bed, that is.
For some reason shes just not that into
trying to watch a situation comedy, a
detective show, the Phillies and a basket-
ball playoff game all at the same time.
Its a form of multi-tasking for couch
potatoes.
Anyway, here are a few of the new
things Ive learned from watching:
Based strictly on commercials, its pret-
ty obvious that the two things really driv-
ing our economy are the cell phone and
pharmaceutical industries.
Ive watched any number of commer-
cials that actually promote the idea that
its okay not to work at work.
Usually the commercials are promoting
phones or tablets that allow you to watch
your favorite programs from the comfort
of your work station.
Ive watched dozens of pharmaceutical
commercials where they promote prod-
ucts, which they say could cause serious
illness or death.
My favorite is the one that starts, If
you or a loved one died .... I suppose I
should just be glad Im around to listen to
that one.
Lately, though, the thing that is
absolutely driving me crazy is this new
manly mens trend of wearing clothes that
dont fit properly.
It seems to be a younger guy thing. For
instance, of the three late night TV hosts
(Letterman, Fallon and Kimmel)
Letterman (67) looks normal.
Fallon and Kimmel, both in their 30s,
look like theyre shrinkwrapped into their
suits. Not a good look.
Which reminds me, a month or so ago
we started getting a couple of new chan-
nels that run old TV shows.
Its given me a chance to revisit some
of my oId favorites and realize all over
again just how dumb I was to watch them
the first time.
For instance, I love F Troop and
Gilligans Island. No rhyme or reason, both
shows are dumb, dumb, dumb but for
some reason they just tickle me.
Which, bottom line, probably sums up
the whole wasteland approach to televi-
sion: Put it out there and someone will
watch. I
Channel surfing, reality shows, classic sit-coms
watching TV has our columnist pondering its appeal.
YMCA Offers Community Water
Safety Program
With summer just around the corner, the
YMCA of Vineland will dive into its commu-
nity SPLASH program to promote water
safety. Children will learn important infor-
mation about water safety, character devel-
opment, stroke development, and rescue.
Designed to help kids overcome their fears,
the SPLASH program will include five half
hour sessions. Classes will be held on
Fridays beginning on May 16 and concluding
on June 13. Starting times vary from 4:30 to
6:30 p.m. All kids are invited to participate:
SPLASH accommodates beginners and non-
swimmers from ages three to 14 years old.
The YMCA divides the SPLASH program
into two age specific groups. The Preschool
Program, children ages three to five, focuses
on fun, exercise, self-confidence, skill devel-
opment, and personal safety to foster com-
fort and confidence in the water. The Youth
Program, for children ages six to 14, will
stress personal safety, stroke development,
personal growth, plus fitness and rescue to
strengthen swimming abilities.
The SPLASH program is open to the
community and costs $10. Participants must
register by May 15. Class size is limited. For
more information, call the YMCA of
Vineland at 856-691-0030.
Delsea Renaissance Car Show
Delsea Renaissance Club would like to
thank all of the participants, spectators, local
businesses, volunteers, and the school
administration for their support! Renaissance

been a pivotal part of the program and are
looking to pursue a career in education.

Agri-Global Redeveloper for
Historic Ferracute Site
Looking to merge the past with the
future, Bridgeton Mayor Albert Kelly will be
asking City Council to name the aqua-ponics
firm Agri-Global, LLC as redeveloper for the
historic Ferracute property at the next City
Council meeting following a developers
presentation at the May 6 work session.
Agri-Global, a Marlton NJ- based firm
headed by CEO Ron ONeal focusing on
aquaculture and hydroponics; is set to make
a presentation to City Council on a multi-
phase project that will center on fish farm-
ing, hydroponic farming for aquatic plants,
processing, distribution, and the creation of
nearly 100 full-time jobs once the operation
is running at full capacity.
While Agri-Global employs sustainable
technology in their approach to food and food
markets; ONeal and the Agri-Global team
used that same sustainable ethos to guide
their site-selection process, which led them
to view the historic Ferracute site as a worthy
candidate for an adaptive reuse project.
In terms of the past, the site was home to
the Ferracute Machine Company, founded

INews in Brief
by inventor Oberlin Smith in the late 19th
century; the company was active up through
the mid-20th century until it shut down in
the 1960s. With few exceptions, the site has
largely been vacant since that time.
The Ferracute Machine Company was
known chiefly for manufacturing the presses
used by the likes of Eastman Kodak, Ford,
and International Harvester. The company
also manufactured the presses that were
shipped to England to replace ammunition
abandoned at Dunkirk during WW II.
While a formal redevelopment agreement
would still need to be worked out separately
at a later date, the step of naming Agri-
Global as redeveloper would be the first step
in allowing them to move forward on com-
pleting due-diligence for the project.
Kevin Rabago, Director of the Citys
Office of Development & Planning, believes
naming a redeveloper for the site would also
give additional weight to future efforts by
the City to secure funding for Remedial
Action through the states Hazardous
Discharge Site Remediation Fund.

Collection To Aid Philippines
in Aftermath of Typhoon
Typhoon Haiyan tore a path of destruction
over 100 miles wide through the central
Philippines after making landfall early in the
morning on November 8. More than 14 million
people were affected, including five million
whose homes were damaged or destroyed.
Vinelander OD Chase attended school in
the Philippines and has heard from friends in
need there, where the death toll is still rising
and many towns are were totally wiped out.
Chase and son Jonathan have already collected
and sent materials there, but are asking the
community to help them do more. They have
placed a collection box at the YMCA for people
to donate new or gently used shoes and cloth-
ing, as well as soccer balls and basketballs.
They will be collecting items until May 15. For
more information about specific needs and
donations, contact Chases business, Sir
Speedy, at 691-0741.

Y of Vineland Celebrates 50 Years on Landis Ave
The YMCA of Vineland cele-
brated 50 years at its 1159 East
Landis Avenue location. The
organization has been in
Vineland for 87 years but has
enjoyed five decades at its pres-
ent location. The celebration fea-
tured displays, mounted pic-
tures, photos, scrapbooks, and
historic artifacts. Community
leaders, the public, YMCA mem-
bers, and YMCA Board of
Directors members attended the event.
YMCA CEO George Steinbronn, Jr. welcomed the group. He credited the hard
work of community members in making the organization a success over its long
history. Board president John Barretta spoke next. He said, Its a great time to be
associated with the Y, especially as a capital campaign is underway to raise funds
for a new gym and multipurpose center. Past Board chair and long time benefactor
Peter Galetto described the changing role of the YMCA and that its mission contin-
ues to adapt to the needs of the community. For information about the YMCA of
Vineland and its capital campaign, call Steinbronn at 856-691-0030, ext. 305.
The YMCA of Vineland capital campaign will bring exciting new uses to its 50-year-old
building. These projects were described at the organizations celebration of fifty years at its
Landis Avenue location. Shown here looking at a rendering of the planned construction of
the Family Multipurpose Center are, from left, architect David Manders; Y CEO George

dents from the
University of Applied
Sciences in Utretch,
Netherlands, visited
Inspira Health Center
Bridgeton recently to
tour the facilitys
Behavioral Health
units and to meet
with nursing leaders
and staff.
The graduate nursing students, many of whom are studying to become
advanced practice nurses in either behavioral health or medical-surgical nursing,
were on a trip to the U.S. for one week through a program with LaSalle
University.
The students toured all three of the behavioral health inpatient units, during
which they learned about a range of topics, including best practices, program
structure, therapeutic interventions, research initiatives, ANCCs Magnet
Recognition Program for nursing excellence, and the future of care for behav-
ioral health professionals. They also had the opportunity to discuss the similari-
ties and differences in nursing practice between the two countries.

Victorian Belle With a Sp(ring) In Her Step
Nancy G. Steelman
Beautiful boots for her little feet.
Tiny black buttons fastened oh so neat
Modestly over ankles in woolen hose
Pulled up high so as not to expose
Ah, but when she walked
Those boots they talked!
Ring-ting-ting-a-ling
How those sounds did ring
Wee silver bells in heels hidden and coy
To startle, surprise every
neighborhood boy
Those bells sent her dancing, her swift dancing feet
All up and down the villages once quiet street
The boots pictured are property of the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society.
They were made by G.B. DIppolito in 1889 for an unnamed young lady.

Termite Troubles
Home ownership can be an unending
series of adventures, especially for those
homeowners who love good home
improvement projects. Some projects are
fun and improve the value of a home
instantly, while others are undertaken to
address a potentially serious issue.
Discovering that termites are taking up
residence where you live can be disconcert-
ing, but termites are a very common occur-
rence. Understanding termites and recog-
nizing the signs of termite damage early on
can help homeowners reduce the havoc that
such critters can wreak on their homes.
Termites are social insects that live
together in colonies. These colonies eat
nonstop, dining on wood and other cellu-
lose plant matter. They also eat materials
made from plants, like fabric and paper.
According to the National Pest
Management Association, termites cause
more than $5 billion in property damage a
year. Studies show that queen termites can
live up to decades under ideal climate con-
ditions while workers and soldiers live
approximately one to two years.
While there are many varieties of ter-
mites, all are silent destroyers capable of
chewing undetected through housing
structures. To eradicate termites, home-
owners must first identify the insects and
then contact a termite management spe-
cialist to address the pest problem.
Spotting termites: Termites may not
always be visible. Subterranean termite
homes are usually formed in soil, where the
termites build elaborate tunnel systems
that channel through to above-ground food
sources. Drywood and dampwood termites
may live within the wood they consume
and be undetectable until the wood collaps-
es or rots away. Homeowners often realize
they have a termite problem when they
witness swarming termites. At this point
there already may be a mature colony at
work damaging a home. Swarming, winged
termites form in a mature, established
colony. Winged termites emerge and fly off
looking for mates. Afterward they will
locate a new breeding site and form anoth-
er colony, potentially spreading infestations
through multiple locations. Winged ter-
mites are attracted to light and can be seen
by windows and doors in spring.
Other signs of termites include accumu-
lation of soil or dirt at the base of wood
structures or the foundation of a home.
There also may be fissures or cracks near
wood surfaces. Sometimes "frass" or ter-
mite droppings can be seen. They appear as
rough, granulated sawdust.
Covered mud tubes, or channels of mud
leading from the soil up the foundation of a
home, are indicative of the presence of ter-
mites. Even if termites are no longer pres-
ent in these tubes, that does not mean the
termites have moved on. They simply may
have chosen a new path to your home.
Keeping termites away: Once termites
have been identified, it is time to eliminate
them. This means getting rid of water and
food sources that are close to a home.
Repair leaky faucets and other water
drips in and around the house.
Keep gutters and downspouts clean.
Seal entry points around water and
utility lines or pipes.
Divert water away fromthe foundation.
Keep lumber, firewood or paper away
from the foundation of the home.
Clear away stumps and tree debris.
Prevent untreated wood from contact-
ing the soil.
Treating termites: It is very difficult
for homeowners to get rid of termites by
themselves. Very often they require the
work of professionals. A termite extermina-
tor will conduct a visual inspection of a
home and property and may do extensive
testing involving expensive acoustic or
infrared equipment to probe the soil
beneath the house.
Depending on the species of termite, the
exterminator will suggest various treat-
ments. These may include the application of
pesticides and making areas around the
home less hospitable to termites. Severely
damaged wood may need to be removed
and replaced.
Termites often stay hidden and do seri-
ous damage that can cost homeowners a
fortune. Treating termites promptly is
essential. I
Phi Theta Kappa Donates Bookbags to BBBS
The Phi Theta Kappa at
Cumberland County College has

Vintage Vineland { BY VINCE FARINACCIO }
Earliest Docs
Vinelands earliest physicians benefitted from the
regions climate as much as patients benefitted
from their doctoring.
I
f Vineland founder Charles K.
Landis had used settlers here to
promote the benefits of relocating
to his town, he would have had a
willing group in the physicians who came
to reside here. Medical practitioners
were continually drawn to Vineland in its
first decade by the curative nature of the
areas mild climate. While they allowed
the weather conditions to help heal what
ailed them, most doctors treated the ill-
nesses of the towns first citizens. But of
the next two physicians of early
Vineland, one was not directly involved
in medical practice.
William Derby Cook arrived here
with his family in 1865, after residing in
Sodus, New York, for the previous 31
years. According to an account of his life
by his daughter Henrietta in the
Vineland Historical and Antiquarian
Society (VHAS) pamphlet Early
Physicians of Vineland, Cook received his
early education in medicine in Geneva,
New York, and graduated from the
Medical Department of Harvard
University in 1829.
His early practice was in the state of
New York, including Seneca Falls.
Henrietta writes, Not coming here for
the purpose of the practice of his profes-
sion, he was not registered as a physician
as required of practitioners by the law of
the state, but he gave medical advice gra-
tuitously on many occasions
Cook was known for his successful
treatment of eye diseases and, while in
Vineland, he continued to follow devel-
opments in the medical field and main-
tained a membership in the Sydenham
Club, a local doctors organization.
When, at the age of 58, Cook decided
to move to Vineland, he felt he couldnt
survive another New York winter. He
established his East Landis Avenue home
on a portion of the grounds that would
eventually house the Vineland Training
School. The fine chestnut used to build
his house was from Cooks farm in
New York.
His daughter reports that he always
gave our beautiful Vineland climate the
credit of prolonging his life. Cook had
enjoyed 20 years as a Vineland resident
when he died on August 13, 1885.
Another early physician here was
Franklin Lane, born December 6, 1822, in
Exeter, New Hampshire. According to an
account in Early Physicians of Vineland,
Lane graduated from Phillips Exeter
Academy and Bowdoin College before
studying medicine at New Yorks
Bellevue College and Berkshire Medical
School in Massachusetts. He completed
his medical studies in 1846, but there is
no account of his practice during the
next nine years.
In 1855, he began a nine-year tenure
with a Baltimore hospital. In these early
years, he was a frequent contributor to
medical journals, employing what the
VHAS account calls a graceful and logi-
cal writing style. He also presented
several courses of lectures on physiolo-
gy, hygiene and kindred subjects.
Lane continued to reside in Baltimore,
but details of his life from 1865 to 1868
are unavailable. According to the VHAS
account, he went from Baltimore to
Vineland in 1869, hoping by the change to
restore his failing health. The genial cli-
mate of Vineland had the desired effect
upon him and in a short time his health
was quite restored.
The success of his Vineland practice is
recorded in the VHAS pamphlet as well:
In Vineland he obtained a large practice
and made many warm friends. He was
endeared to many to whom he minis-
tered by his gentle and kindly spirit. He
was ever more than a professional atten-
dant for he felt a warm personal interest
in all his patients. He gave especial care
and attention to the needs of the suffer-
ing poor, to whom he was always a true
friend.
After 20 years of serving the residents
of Vineland, Lane was forced to retire
when he was paralyzed by a stroke in
1889. He and his family remained here
for another two years and then made the
decision to relocate to East Orange, New
Jersey, where Lane would spend his
remaining years. He died on July 24, 1893
at the age of 70.
The early physicians provided an
important service in maintaining the
health of their fellow residents. But with
each patient, they repaid a portion of the
debt they owed Vineland and the climate
that allowed them a little more time on
this earth. I

County Cultural and Heritage Commission, the event has grown in scope and range
to include an ever widening range of artists and locations to see their work.

ers, printmakers, puppeteers, wood turners, furniture makers, leather workers, jew-
elery-makers and glass artists.
Artists include painter Alex Alampi, of Pilesgrove; Deborah DiMarco, a glass
artist; clay artist, Janice Chassier. Tour brochures with a complete listing of Artists
Studios, county map, and directions are available on line at www.artsinbloomnj.com
or can be picked up at all tour sites during the event.

struggling with it ever since. She could
walk with a cane or a walker for most of
her life, but in her 50s it got worse and
now she cant walk at all.
My grandmom once asked me, Are you
disappointed in me because I cant walk?
I said, No, the exact opposite. I am
proud of you for persevering even though
you cant walk.
Its true I love her and am proud of her
for continuing on with her life. My grand-
mom is an inspiration to women. She
screams keep going, dont give up. She
makes you want to keep going and most
important, she makes people be better.
She changes the way they look at life.
Makes them appreciate what they have.
She does what she can to live a full and
happy life. She is special and I love her
for it.
Since my grandmom has MS I am
aware of all the people around me who
cant walk. My whole life I have held the
door for people who cant or who have
trouble walking. Also, when I see people
parking in handicapped spots without a
tag it makes me realize that because of my
grandmoms special needs, I am aware. It
also makes me realize that because of my
grandmoms special needs, I would never
even think of parking in the handicapped
spot or not holding the door for people
who cant or have trouble walking. When I
am with my grandmother, I do not feel
uncomfortable or out of place because I
dont care what people think. I love my
grandmother for who she is and would
never even think of trying to change her.
Even though she is a special grand-
mom, I would never trade her for any
other grandmom in the world. I am
always thankful that I can walk. I have
high respect for any handicapped people
and that will never go away. Therefore, my
grandmom is special and I love her. I dont
care what other people think of her; all
that matters is what she thinks of herself.
I know she may be discouraged some-
times, but she is normally positive,
optimistic, and cheerful. She is perfect
to me. I

Two dozen people were being
interviewed for a job. Only one
could get it. The person conduct-
ing the interview explains the
position. It is called an
Operations Manager position. Job
description is as follows:
Very physically demanding
Standing, bending over for 14
hours a day
No breaks through the day. If
you have a break, like a lunch, it
is always an interrupted break.
No vacation break given
Hours are seven days a week,
24 hours a day
The workload is double on hol-
idays, such as Christmas,
Thanksgiving, Easter
Your personal life must be
altered for job duties
Oh yeah, salary is $0.00 per
year
The applicants asked the man, Why would someone take this job? You
must be insane. No vacation time, no union break, 24-hour days? You have to
put your life on hold? No way, we are not interested.
The man conducting the interview says, Why not, billions of people around
the world do it. Its called being a MOTHER.
Love, Jacob and Ava

Amazing Animals Wow
Ellison Students
An Ellison assembly was true its
name as a wildlife expert from the
Amazing World of Animals showed off
five different creatureseach one, more
amazing than the last. Students "met"
two types of lizards, a boa constrictor, a
baby wolf and one totally awesome tor-
toise. Slow and steady worked out well
when it came time for students to feed
the tortoise a carrot breakfast. Larry the
lizard gave his share of winks, as well
as used his tongue to determine that
the students were definitely not his kind
of food.

I In Our Schools
St. Mary School Science & Art Expo
What does time travel, iPads, a paint brush
and interactive 21st Century imagination have in
common? The answer is simple: St. Mary School,
of course! See for yourself by visiting: scienceex-
posms.weebly.com. In an attempt to pique inter-
est, all students were given an option to do an
experiment, an invention, or to research a scien-
tific concept and to express it through art or
media for this year's Expo.
Middle school students at St. Mary School
completed their Science and Art projects by
using iPads to make pod-casts and their laptops
to create images that brought them back in time
and here's some examples:
Experiments included: How do get a hard-
boiled egg into a glass milk bottle without break-
ing; What is the best type of water to water
houseplants: tap, distilled, bottled, or
microwaved?; Does Thermo-therapy help keep
Mold from Growing on Strawberries? and,Can you
Control your Dreams?
Clever Inventions: An Automatic Bedmaker;
Rocket Launcher to Play Fetch with your Dog.
Illustrating Science through Art included: the
Fibonacci Sequence, DNA, cells, and Healthy Lungs vs. Smokers Lungs;
Musically inclined students created music videos about the planets, the universe,
and cellular respiration. (The students wrote their own lyrics to popular songs
and included the lyrics and graphics in the videos as you listened to them
singing the song.)
Time Travel in the 8th Grade: Students selected a famous scientist or person
who made a contribution to science to interview. The students then wrote a dia-
logue or interview and created a podcast with the inventor or scientist. With the
use of the computer they superimposed a photo of them self into a photograph
of the scientist to go with their podcast. (See Sarah's Time Travel and Tyler with
the Wright Brothers photos). You can hear for yourself some of the pod-casts by
visiting: soundcloud.com/sms-students-and-faculty.

Role Model Breakfast
Delsea Regional High School hosted
its 16th annual A Springtime
Thanksgiving - Recognizing Role
Models breakfast reception recent-
ly. The purpose of this activity was to
help the students recognize the many
people who have positively influenced
their lives over the years.
Every member of the class of 2016
was asked to write an essay about a
person who has had a positive impact
on his/her life. The role models that
the students wrote about included
family members, teachers, coaches,
friends, and religious/community lead-
ers; invitations to the breakfast were
mailed to the role models who were
profiled in the essays.
During the breakfast, the role mod-
els had the chance to read and keep
the essays written in their honor. There
were many tears and lots of hugs
between the role models and the stu-
dents as the sophomores eagerly said
thank you to those who have so posi-
tively impacted their lives. Over the
past 16 years, more than 3,000 com-
munity members have been recognized
as role models at the annual
breakfast.
This years keynote speaker was the
2013-14 New Jersey State Teacher of
the Year, Mrs. Kathleen Assini. Kathy is
a teacher at Delsea Regional Middle
School and was chosen as a role
model by two of her former students.

Two Students Earn Health Occupation Scholarships
Two Vineland High School
students in the Health
Occupations Students of
America (HOSA) program were
recently awarded Gerald Bush
Jr. Memorial Scholarships at
the annual HOSA Conference
held at the school, according
to Angela D'Ottavio, a regis-
tered nurse and HOSA advisor.
Those honored were seniors
Kavita Shah and Tolu Ayeni.
"Kavita has been a valuable
member of HOSA for 4 years,"
said D'Ottavio. "She served as
treasurer last year and vice president this year. She is very conscientious and reli-
able and always willing to provide assistance to anyone in need. She remains calm
and enthusiastic as she leads the HOSA students in various events. She is also an
excellent dancer and is planning to pursue a medical career and one day hopes to
become a dermatologist."
D'Ottavio said Ayeni has been a member of HOSA for four years, was nominated
as president this year, and an enthusiastic contributor to the organization.
"Tolu is well liked and well respected by her teachers and peers," said D'Ottavio.
"She is a member of the National Honor Society and many other clubs at VHS.
She always gives 100 percent in her vibrant and enthusiastic fashion and was a ter-
rific leader in HOSA this year. She is very creative and an excellent artist and
speaker. She plans to pursue a career in the medical field."
The scholarships, each worth $500, were funded by HOSA and given in memory
of Gerald Bush Jr., by his mother, Karen. Gerald Bush was a senior at VHS, and a
member of HOSA prior to his death from a heart condition in November, 2011.
"Gerry was a very kind young man interested in a career in health care," said
D'Ottavio. "Ms. Bush brings a lovely cake each year for the HOSA chapter at our
end-of-year conference."

Wallace Holds
Financial Reality Fair
Wallace Middle School stu-
dents were able to experience
the challenges of adult financial
decision making at a unique
Financial Reality Fair held
recently in the school gym.
The Reality Fair program is
a new financial education offering from New Jersey Credit Unions, according to
Shonda Johnston, Reality Fair Committee Chair and teacher at the school. Co-
sponsor of the event was the Vineland Education Association through a New
Jersey Education Association (NJEA) PRIDE Grant.
The event is described as "a hands-on interactive experience in which stu-
dents identify their career choice and starting salaries then complete a budget
worksheet requiring them to live within their monthly salary while paying for
basics such as housing, utilities, transportation, clothing, and food. Additional
expenditures such as student loan debt appropriate to career choice, entertain-
ment and travel are factored in as well.
Throughout the Reality Fair, there are many temptations for additional spend-
ing, and students must learn to balance their wants and needs to live on their
own. All students are assigned a credit score, which determines the interest rates
they pay on their loans and credit cards. After the students have visited the vari-
ous booths, covering components of independent living, they must balance their
budget and support a savings goal. If students are unable to meet their financial
needs, they must look at options such as obtaining a part-time job, finding a
roommate or canceling a service and then meet with a Financial Counselor for a
comprehensive review.

iamonds are set to be Vinelands gem of choice
this summer, as the area warms up for the
Perfect Game Super25 tournaments. Over
seven four-day stretches through the summer, includ-
ing the three holiday weekends, some 350 teams will
play on six baseball diamonds located in Vineland.
By the end of the year, we are all going to love
baseball, said Dawn Hunter, executive director of the
Greater Vineland Chamber of Commerce, before a gath-
ering of Vineland business owners last Thursday. It is a
terrific opportunity that will result in not only a positive
economic impact for our area, but also an opportunity
for Vineland to showcase itself and all the wonderful
things we have to offer.
Businesses will surely benefit from an influx of as
many as 16,500 people congregating here over the seven
weekends (one of the dates includes two tournaments).
WHAT IS IT?
Perfect Game Super25 is devoted to furthering the
development of amateur baseball players. These tour-
naments are a showcase of the best players.

national level individual player showcases and team

t the most
recent
luncheon of
the GVCC, held on
Thursday, April 17,
at The Ramada Inn
of Vineland, mem-
bers welcomed
guest speaker John
DiAngelo, CEO of
Inspira Health
Network. He gave
an update of the
merger of two hospital systemsSouth Jersey
Healthcare and Underwood Memorial.
DiAngelo said that in a years time, the Network
has moved from a hospital-centric system to the
brave new world of enhanced patient care at 60-
plus locations in three counties.
It was one of the reasons for the merger, the others
being cost savings, clinical expertise, a strong brand,
and standardized IT capability across the network.
DiAngelo touted Inspira as being the first hospital
in New Jersey to earn ISO certification. He answered
questions from Chamber members about how the
Affordable Health Care Act has already and may affect
their coverage and healthcare needs in the future.
The Chamber thanks the sponsor of the event,
South Jersey Federal Credit Union.

Welcome Message
The GVCC is very excited about the
Perfect Game Super25 Baseball partner-
ship with the City of Vineland! It cant
be understated what an enormous
opportunity this is for Vineland and
Cumberland County. Not only will it
offer a huge economic boost, but it pro-
vides us an opportunity to showcase
why we love this area and why we are
proud to call it home. I encourage every-
one to find a way to get involved with
this endeavor.
If you are interested in going to a
game during the tournaments and watch
these highly talented young players,
there is a nominal entrance fee to attend
and it varies depending on the level of
tournament. Entry fees will range from
$5 for a day to $35 for the weekend. For
instance, if you pay a one-day fee, you
can attend any games on any of the
fields for that specific day. As we
approach the dates of each tournament,
we will be publicizing the entrance fees
again. What a fun way to spend some
time on a summer weekend in Vineland!
We need volunteers to help be
Welcoming Ambassadors at the games. If
you can offer a couple of hours on one of
these weekends, please call us at 856-
691-7400. We are also looking for local
vendors interested in selling food or
items at these tournamentscall 856-
794-4000, ext. 4681 to find out more.
I encourage everyone in the area to
welcome the players and their families
when you see them around town.
Simply say Welcome to Vineland
were happy youre here! That simple
greeting will leave a positive impression
on our visitors. Theyll want to return
and theyll talk about what a great place
Vineland was to visit when they return
to their hometowns. Please also remem-
ber to have a little extra patience on
these tournament weekends as your
favorite restaurant may be crowded, or
there may be a longer line at the conven-
ience stores.
The month of May offers something
of value for every member of the GVCC!
Be sure to read through the calendar of
events in this issue for a free seminar
offering infor-
mation on Clean
Energy pro-
grams and
incentives
offered by the
state of New
Jersey.
Susquehanna
Bank is hosting this event in col-
laboration with our Green Committee.
Remember the GVCC is here to help
you and we have a complete business
resource library full of information. Stop
by our office Monday through Friday,
between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., and see
how we can be of assistance. As a mem-
ber, we are happy to include your own
organizations literature in that library as
we get many people that come into our
office for area information.
I look forward to seeing you at an
upcoming event so you can: Get
Involved, Get Connected and Come
Grow With Us!

Elwyn History and Overview
Elwyn New Jersey is a private non-
profit organization serving individuals
with intellectual and physical disabilities.
Elwyn NJ was formerly known as The
Training School at Vineland, which was
world-renowned for its studies of mental
deficiencies. Beginning in the late 1800s,
vast psychological research was conduct-
ed at the Training School as well as meth-
ods for providing instruction and training
to the mentally challenged. One example
is the development of the Vineland Social
Maturity Scale that in later years evolved
into the Vineland Adaptive Behavior
Scales-II, aka Vineland-II, still in use
today by psychologists worldwide.
Individuals were cared for on the 200-
acre campus, in a home-like atmosphere
known as the Cottage Plan. Several
famous people sent their children to the
Training School, such as Pulitzer and
Nobel Prize-winning author, Pearl S.
Buck, and fashion designer Oleg Cassini.
In later years, The Training School moved
individuals into group homes in various
communities throughout the region.
The Training School at Vineland
changed its name to Elwyn New Jersey
in October of 2005. There are currently
48 community group homes in
Cumberland, Atlantic, and Gloucester
Counties, as well as various day pro-
grams in Cumberland County.
Elwyn New Jersey is funded in part by
the State of New Jersey, Dept. of Human
Services - Division of Developmental
Disabilities. Elwyn New Jerseys individ-
uals and caring staff rely on the local
community, businesses, and friends to
supplement its funding source, through
monetary donations and through the vol-
unteering of time, talent and resources.
Ask how you can make a difference in
the lives of those in need. Call 856-794-
5281, e-mail Susan Sauro at
sauros@elwyn.org, or make a donation by
visiting us on the web at www.elwyn.org.
Relay For Life: How To Help
Relay For Life of Cumberland County
is slated for May 30 and 31, 6 p.m. to 6
a.m., at Cumberland County College
(3322 College Dr., Vineland).
Relay For Life is a way to CELEBRATE
cancer survivors. At every Relay For Life,
cancer survivors are honored for their
courage and strength by beginning the
event with an honorary lap. The individ-
uals are celebrated in various waysfrom
food and t-shirts, to dances and games!
Invite survivors in your life to attend
the special survivor lap and dinner
In addition to celebrating, Relay is a
way to REMEMBER loved ones.
Survivors and those who have lost their
battle to cancer are honored at this one-
of-a-kind ceremony. Luminaria bags
(purchased for a $10 donation) bearing
the names of loved ones who have bat-
tled cancer line a track and are illuminat-
ed with the light of a candle. A walk in
silence to remember and honor cancer
survivors is the most impactful and
moving experience in the Relay event.
Relay for Life is also a way to FIGHT
BACK. So many of us have been touched
by this disease, and at Relay For Life we
can learn about actions we can take to
fight back beyond the event. Heres how
you can take a stand and fight cancer:

Society to Host Open House
The Vineland Historical and
Antiquarian Society will host an open
house on Saturday, May 10 (1 to 3 p.m.) at
its museum at 108 S. Seventh St. An
exhibit of 19th century photographs will
be shown in the museums Great Room.
We had initially planned the reception
to honor the winners of our photography
contest, said Patricia A. Martinelli,
Society curator. Unfortunately, we didnt
get enough entries to hold the contest
but we decided to go ahead and hold the
open house anyway.
The Society might have to close the
museum for a few weeks this summer
once work begins on the handicapped
ramp planned for the entrance. The City
of Vineland recently allocated a $75,000
faade grant to the Society to improve
access to the building.
The non-profit is celebrating its 150th
anniversary this year as the oldest local
historical society in New Jersey, headquar-
tered in the oldest purpose-built museum
in the state. For information on upcoming
events or programs, call 856-691-1111 or
