Board of Social
Services to Stay Put

C
umberland County Freeholder Director
Joseph Derella announced a tentative
agreement recently that will maintain the
Board of Social Services in its current Vineland
location.
Specific details will be made available at a press
conference being arranged for this week when a
more formal agreement is complete.
We are thrilled to announce an agreement that
will result in the acquisition of the Board of Social
Services building and allow that vital service to
remain in Vineland, Derella said at the start of
Tuesday nights Freeholder meeting.
Our goal from the beginning of this process
was to get the best results for the people of
Cumberland County. Working closely with
Freeholder Carlos Mercado in collaboration with
the rest of the Freeholder Board, we were able to
stay focused in the midst of distractions from elect-
ed officials and petition drives, and we reached an
amicable agreement between all parties
Derella said plans for construction of a county
facility in downtown Bridgeton are still very
much alive. Those details will also be elaborated
on at next weeks press conference, as will more
information on construction of the new Workforce
Investment Board building on the Cumberland
County College Campus.
We wrestled with a lot of issues, and in the
end, I really believe Cumberland County residents
will be pleased with what weve come up with,
said Derella. I hope everyone can be patient for a
week when we can discuss all of the details. I

fter a year and a half of delays and setbacks,
the city of Vineland is finally nearing comple-
tion on its new Police Athletic League Center,
located on Sixth Street, just south of Landis Avenue.
The impetus for the centers impending comple-
tion, which is expected to be in the next couple of
months, is a deal the city struck with the Vineland
Board of Education earlier this year, in which the
board agreed to provide manpower and materials to
assist with the construction project.
The partnership of the two entities is the result of
an effort by Vineland Mayor Ruben Bermudez to push
a shared services initiative since taking office back in
January. However, it was Dr. Mary Gruccio, superin-
tendent of Vineland Public Schools and board mem-
ber for the Vineland Positive Youth Development
Coalition (VPYDC), who facilitated the relationship.
During a VPYDC meeting, people were expressing
their frustration about the lack of progress and help
they were seeing with the PAL Center, she said. My
goal, as superintendent, other than educating our kids,
is to work with the city and share services to make the
city a better place for our youth. So I went to [Mayor
Bermudez], who has touted shared services, and
offered some of the resources we have available.
Throughout the summer, members of the VPS
Maintenance Crew have been in and out of the center,
doing mostly electrical and plumbing work. Because of
a slow summer schedule, the school district didnt have

In last weeks issue of The Grapevine, an incorrect caption was used for
the photograph at the bottom of this page, which accompanied Mickey
Brandts story, LIFE is Good. We are reprinting both photos with the correct
captions here, as well as the sidebar where the photo appeared. We regret
any confusion the error may have caused.
Moments
Early in my visit to LIFE last week (on 50's Day), I ran into a woman in a
poodle skirt, who turned out to be Debby VanMeter, recreation therapist and,
apparently, the center's designated hugger. She was telling me about her out-
fit and many other costumes and props she has made when participant
Cordelia Pitt, 62, of Millville, passed by.
I have one of those, and the bobby socks, too, she chimed in. I was the
hottest one on the road.
This is what we call a moment of joy, VanMeter said. When I can trigger
a memory and make someone smile.
The moments are numerous here; they are my reward for what I do.
I felt rewarded, too, even though it's been 50 years since I had my duck tail.

Susqehanna Bank has granted
Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Cumberland & Salem Counties
$500 which will help the agency
reach more children. On July 12,
Tracy Renner, Branch Relationship

Big Brothers Big Sisters Recognizes JCPenney
Cumberland & Salem Counties
awarded JCPenney of Vineland
a certificate of recognition for
a successful "Round-Up" cam-
paign in the month of June.
During this campaign,
JCPenney employees encour-
aged customers to round-up
their purchases to the nearest
dollar and donate the differ-
ence to Big Brothers Big
Sisters. Contributions made
from customers went directly
to the local youth mentoring
agency. The connection ini-
tially started the first month of June when Solomon Wactor, development direc-
tor for Big Brothers Big Sisters and Jane Damminger, committee member and
volunteer, scheduled a meeting with Aris Martinez, JCPenney store manager, to
speak with her employees regarding the significance of Big Brothers Big Sisters
and the campaign.
Martinez was impressed that a presentation was made at JCPenney to raise
awareness of the campaign and stated that "no other organization has ever done
this before."
As a result, JCPenney went above and beyond and even held a luncheon to
benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters. Upon completion of the campaign, a follow-up
meeting was held. Only this time, an award was presented to the staff of
JCPenney for their hard work and professionalism during the partnership. The
staff expressed their gratitude and were very appreciative. Big Brothers Big
Sisters would like to thank JCPenney of Vineland for their support and hard work
in making the round-up campaign a success.

Brain Gain at Boys & Girls Club
This summer,
the Boys & Girls
Club of Vineland's
Summer Program
introduced a new
initiative, titled
Brain Gain, to help
young people stay
sharp and ready
themselves for
school in the fall.
The Summer
Brain Gain program
helps prevent sum-
mer learning loss
by extending learn-
ing throughout the
summer. The program features weekly thematic modules that include activities
that build to a final, culminating project or event. The modules are inspired by
Project Based Learning. Young people work together in groups to explore ideas,
learn through fun projects, express themselves with a variety of art activities all
while building their academic skills.
Throughout the program, young people were building literacy, research, math,
and technology skills and having fun at the same time. The Club also took part
in the Reading Aloud 15 Minutes "Seize the Summer" campaign, which empha-
sizes the importance of reading aloud for 15 minutes every day.
Club kids are pictured here with staff member, Raquel Montalvo (center, with puppets) at
the Vineland Public Library, where the children read stories aloud and expressed them-
selves with hand puppets.

Paula J. Ring Education Center Opens
Cumberland County
College marked the grand
opening of the Paula J. Ring
Education Center with a rib-
bon-cutting ceremony on
August 14. Located at 10
Buck Street in Millville, the
facility is named for Paula
Ring, executive director of
the Cumberland County
Homemaker - Home Health
Aide Service.
CCH-HHAS donated their
administration building and
parking lot to Cumberland
County College through the
CCC Foundation. The non-
profit health aide agency
occupied the building for 17
years until it ceased opera-
tions in 2012.
You know when you get a
gift like this, it really warms your heart because you know it will be used for good
things, said CCC President Dr. Thomas Isekenegbe.
A graduate of Cumberland County College, Paula Ring was one of the inaugural
CCC Distinguished Alumni honorees in 1996. Among her many accomplishments,
she developed the first Housing Authority Social Services Program in New Jersey.
Ring is former chair of the Millville Housing Authority Board of Commissioners
and is the longest seated member of the Commission. She serves as the chair of
the Vineland Development Centers Board of Directors, and chair of the
Cumberland County Board of Health.
Cumberland County College began utilizing the 7,200-square-foot Paula J. Ring
Education Center in February to house the colleges office of Workforce and
Community Education, where health care training and professional development
programming is conducted in six classrooms of varying sizes.
A broad range of certificate and continuing education opportunities are offered
by Cumberlands Workforce and Community Education, including short-term
career training in allied health care, teacher development, industrial technologies,
computers, personal enrichment, and free Adult Basic Education classes.
Paula Ring cuts the ribbon, marking the grand opening of CCCs new workforce education
center named in her honor. Surrounding her are county, municipal and college officials,
and members of the Cumberland County Homemaker - Home Health Aide Service board.

Almond Road and Dallago at 301 S.
East Boulevardwill not open until
Monday, September 9, said Dr. Mary
Gruccio, Superintendent of Schools.
The delayed opening will allow for the
completion of required utility work at the
Almond Road facility, which is rented
from the State of New Jersey.
The extent of the work this summer
was extensive, according to Wayne
Weaver, Executive Director of Facilities.
The project included re-routing electric,
water, sewer and natural gas lines to the
building, which previously had been
served by different, on-site connections.
There were also procedural delays from
several state agencies that delayed the
start of the project.
Rather than create confusion, we
thought it best to have both district
preschools start on Monday, even though
the work at Almond Road does not direct-
ly affect the Dallago preschool, said Dr.
Gruccio.
The delayed opening does not affect
private preschool providers.
The two days will be added to the
school calendar in June for students and
staff in the district preschools only.
Big Brothers Big Sisters,
Dolphin Swim Club Provide
Swim Lessons
Cumberland & Salem Counties partnered

dren with swimming techniques. Parents
as well as mentors were also in atten-
dance. John "Coach" Casadia (Dolphin
Swim Club Coach) welcomed the chil-
dren with open arms and was more than
glad to give back to the community. The
event was orchestrated by Patty
Hennessey(Former Big Brothers Big
Sisters Intern). She was also able to
incorporate a picnic into the event,
which included hot dogs, cheeseburgers
and desserts for both staff and guests.
Are you interested in becoming a vol-
unteer and making a positive impact on a
child's life? Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Cumberland & Salem Counties will host a
Little Moments Session on Wednesday,
September 4, from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. at

hour luncheon designed to educate the
community about the work that is done at
Big Brothers Big Sisters. Lunch will be
provided by Larrys II Restaurant. Each
session features testimonials from current
volunteers and a behind-the-scenes tour
to meet the professional staff members.
There is something for everyone at Big
Brothers Big Sisters. For more information

Inspira Receives National Achievement Award
Inspira Health
Networks Frank
and Edith Scarpa
Regional Cancer
Pavilion was
recently presented
with the 2012
Outstanding
Achievement
Award by the
American College
of Surgeons (ACS)
Commission on
Cancer (CoC) for
the third consecutive year. Inspiras cancer center is one of a select group of only
79 U.S. healthcare facilities with accredited cancer programs to receive this
national honor for surveys performed last year. The award acknowledges cancer
programs that achieve excellence in providing quality care to cancer patients.
Since the earliest days of Inspiras cancer programgoing all the way back to
the late 1970sour cancer teams commitment to clinical and service excellence
has been unwavering, said Dave Robbins, chairman of the hospital board for
Inspira Medical Centers Elmer and Vineland and Health Center Bridgeton. To
maintain this level of excellence for so many years speaks volumes about their
skills, expertise and dedication.
The purpose of the award is to raise awareness on the importance of provid-
ing quality cancer care at healthcare institutions throughout the U.S.
The cancer program at Inspiras Frank and Edith Scarpa Regional Cancer
Pavilion was evaluated on 29 program standards categorized within one of four
cancer program activity areas: cancer committee leadership, cancer data man-
agement, clinical services and quality improvement. Their program was further
evaluated on eight commendation standards. To be eligible, all award recipients
must have received commendation ratings in seven commendation standards, in
addition to receiving a compliance rating for each of the 29 other standards.
As our cancer program here in Cumberland County continues to grow, with
new services and specialists coming on board, our cancer teams commitment
only grows stronger, said Robbins. And, with an award-winning cancer program
right here in the community, area residents can take pride and comfort in know-
ing that they have such a fine cancer program close to home.
Members of Inspiras Cancer Services team celebrated the honor at an award ceremony
in Vineland.
Cornew Named Starfish Award Recipient
Aline Cornew, a coun-
selor at Veterans Memorial
Intermediate School, was
the surprise recipient of
the Vineland Public
Schools' Starfish Award,
presented annually to rec-
ognize an outstanding
counselor from within the
Vineland family of coun-
selors.
Also honored was the
"Affective" or "A Team" of
counselors and student
support employees at
Winslow Elementary
School: Dawn Yacovelli,
Health and Social Service Coordinator; Carolyn Ansink and Lauren Sherma,
Guidance Counselors; and Diane Devono, Nurse.
The awards were the highlight of the annual staff development workshop for
the district's counselors, held at the Vineland Public Schools administration
building.
The ceremony was hosted by Dr. Mary Gruccio, Superintendent of Schools,
and Ruthann Polof, Assistant Superintendent/Administration.
The Starfish Award, said Dr. Gruccio, is given each year to the counselor "who
exemplifies and embodies everything we hope our counselors do. Someone who
reaches beyond the scope of the school building out into the community, who is
vigorous in their efforts on behalf of children."
Cornew was recognized for her "tireless work on behalf of the students".
Mr. Joseph Camardo, principal of Veterans Memorial, spoke highly of Cornew.
"With all the work that she's been doing, this is long overdue," he said. "It's an
honor to have her as a member of our A Team. She does a great job every day
and she's a passionate advocate for the students. It's well deserved."
Cornew was rendered nearly speechless after accepting her award.
"I appreciate the opportunity to work with many of you through the years that
I've been here," she said. "I'm inspired by many of you - we collaborate together
and I gain a lot of strength and ideas from you, so I appreciate this. I wouldn't be
able to do it without the help of all of you, so thank you very much."
The Starfish award refers to the allegory of a young man picking a starfish
from among millions on the beach and returning it to the sea--thereby making a
difference at least to the one he saves.
Cornew was chosen from a group of six nominees for the award from princi-
pals, assistant principals, guidance counselors, and health and social service
coordinators. The winner is selected by a committee that includes administrators
from each grade level in the schools and district office administrators.
Those nominated for the Starfish award were expected to exemplify the fol-
lowing traits: a love of children, dedication to the profession of counseling, tire-
less work ethic on behalf of children, creativity, responsiveness to children's
needs above and beyond the call of duty, willingness to try new ideas and
strategies, continuous interest in professional development, and a cooperative
style of interaction.

Celebrating National Health Center Week
National Health
Center Week is a yearly
celebration held to
increase the visibility of
local Federally Qualified
Health Centers and the
work they do for 21 mil-
lion people nationally
each year. For over 45
years, community health
centers have provided
high-quality preventative
and primary care to
patients, regardless of
their ability to pay for
services.
Today, there are
approximately 9,000
migrant, homeless, pub-
lic housing, school-based and community health centers, like CompleteCare
Health Network, who work tirelessly to meet healthcare needs in the communi-
ties they serve. National Health Center Week exists to increase awareness, show
pride and build support for these organizations, highlighting their efforts by sup-
porting events in their communities.
This year CompleteCare celebrated National Health Center Week in South
Jersey by hosting three unique events, each celebrating this years theme of
Transforming Health Care in Our Local Communities. The events were open to
the public and attendees were able to stock up on information provided by local
health and service agencies, including Inspira, NJ Family Care, CMS and more.
The events also featured health screenings, music, contests, face painting and a
caricature artist. CompleteCares Affordable Care Act team handed out back-
packs, notebooks and other materials to help local kids prepare for back-to-
school. They were also available to answer questions about the pending imple-
mentation of the Affordable Care Act. The events of National Health Center Week
were sponsored by CompleteCare, Senator Robert Menendezs office, Horizon NJ
Health, UnitedHealthcare and Quality Concepts.

Vineland Manufacturer Earns Skills4Jersey Grant
Christie Administration officials
recently visited Precision Electronic
Glass, a glass and quartz components
manufacturer located on Hendee Road
in Vineland, who was awarded a
$40,800 Skills4Jersey grant to enable
the company to train and upgrade the
skills of its employees.
While visiting the company, Assistant
Commissioner Jeff Stoller presented
Albert Karwowski, vice president and
CFO of Precision Electronic Glass, with a
framed letter announcing that the com-
pany had been selected to receive a
$40,800 Skills4Jersey grant. Stoller
praised the company for partnering with
the New Jersey Department of Labor
and Workforce Development, as well as
with Cumberland County College, which developed customized courses to provide
training for Precision Electronic Glass employees.
Precision Electronic Glass will also be contributing $51,000 of its own money to
the training program.
The grant will train 75 Precision Electronic Glass employees in many different
areas, including Six Sigma techniques and strategies for process improvement,
mechanical drafting and blue print reading, general business administration,
accounting, and management information systems.
Skills4Jersey training grants are part of the recently overhauled customized
training grant program that focuses on allowing the Garden States key industries
to identify the skills they need to find in employees and insuring the workforce is
trained with those skills. The approach improves the employability of job-seekers
while helping the productivity of the industries in New Jersey that promise to drive
the states economic future.
The state of New Jersey has been handing out between 225 and 250
Skills4Jersey training grants since the programs inception, totaling about $18 mil-
lion a year in grant money awarded.

THROUGH SEPTEMBER
Celebrating 150 Years.
Vineland Public Library, 1058 E.
Landis Ave., Vineland.
One Hundred fifty years ago
the American Civil War threat-
ened to divide our country in
two. We were a nation of people
at war with each other. Citizens
in the northern states were
opposed to slavery, those in the
southern states were in favor of
slavery.
While Abraham Lincoln was
president of the United States
and General Ulysses S. Grant
led the entire Northern Union Army to victory over the Southern Confederacy, a
new community in New Jersey named Vineland was being settled by European
immigrants. As Vineland was being established, people of every religion sought to
have their own houses of worship to go to on the Sabbath. In 1863, Charles
Landis, the founder of Vineland, gifted Methodist Christians with a section of land
at 7th Street and Landis Avenue. On that corner, Methodist worshippers built a
wooden structure and named it First Methodist Episcopal Church.
The nations bloodiest war ended when General Robert E. Lee surrendered at
Appomattox, Virginia on April 9, 1865. President Andrew Johnson formally
declared the war over on August 20, 1865. In the decades to follow, faithful
Methodist parishioners at First Church in Vineland continued on with their mis-
sions of service. A devastating fire in December, 1931 destroyed the original wood-
en structure and a Gothic-style stone church was built to take its place.
Todays members have dedicated themselves to the preservation and documen-
tation of the wealth of history at First Church.The last several years have been
spent searching through volumes of archives, files and records. A rich library of
First Churchs history has been compiled and is now being shared with the entire
community, both in the church and during August and September, at the Vineland
Public Library, 1058 East Landis Avenue.
Photographs of past pastors, former church families and those who have con-
tributed significantly over the decades to the progress of First Church have been
restored and are assembled for display in the newly created History Hall of the
Churchs Sunday School building.
Christians have worshipped and served the Lord at 7th and Landis Avenue,
Vineland, for 150 years. Todays congregation is proud to acknowledge, honor and
pay homage to those who have been here before.
To create memories for future generations, First Church members are privi-
leged to share a Sesquicentennial of events throughout this year with the
Vineland community.
The Philadelphia Brigade Band, our states only Civil War Brass Band, is
scheduled to perform in concert at First Church, Sunday, September 15, at 3 p.m.
The public is invited to attend this free concert. Nearly 30 band members will
entertain in authentic uniforms and play both period and reproduction instru-
ments. With devotion to the historic accuracy and emotions of the Civil War era,
the Philadelphia Brigade Band performs the same military and social music that
was played to entertain the troops, console loved ones who lost family members,
or welcome home weary soldiers during the Civil War.
Visitors are encouraged to stop by the exhibit cases of the Vineland Library to
enjoy a look at some of the many pieces of memorabilia of First Church that are
on display.

f youre a prospective bride and
groom, you want to plan to make
your wedding day something spe-
cial and memorable. Youll probably
be making up a checklist of things to do
and buy to make sure that nothing is over-
looked. We, at Main Street Vineland, can
help you with our annual Downtown
Wedding Weekend. Now in its third year,
this is our downtowns ultimate wedding
event. We take advantage of the abun-
dance of businesses in our downtown area
that offer wedding-related services to
offer you one-stop shopping for your
wedding needs.
Landis Avenue will be your destination
on Saturday, September 28, rain or shine,
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when almost 20
businesses will display the merchandise
and services they can offer to the bride-
and groom-to-be. Find everything from
gowns and formal wear, shoes, and jewel-
ry to flowers, printing services for invita-
tions, limousine services, banking, bak-
eries, and restaurants as part of this very
special event.
Maps to help people locate participat-
ing businesses will be available at any of
the businesses. Some businesses will be
participating from their own locations
while others will have booths set up inside
Landis MarketPlace.
Brides and grooms who register at half
the participating vendors set up in Landis
MarketPlace, at 631 E. Landis Avenue, and
half those along Landis Avenue will be eli-
gible for three grand prizes. Prizes include
jewelry from DeSoto Jewelers and gift cer-
tificates from the participating businesses.
Brian Lankin, our Promotions
Committee Chairperson and a member of
our Board of Directors, is the organizer of
this event. As the owner of Als Shoes
downtown, he sees the importance of an
event like this.
This is an exciting way to bring
together our downtown businesses and to
show brides, grooms, and everyone, the
array of shopping choices in downtown
Vineland, he said.
He has been bringing merchant events
back to Landis Avenue with this and the
Sidewalk Sale in July, and shares my belief
that our downtown is can be a destination
for people who want to shop, once they
discover the wide range of merchandise
available here.
A key focus of Main Street Vineland is
to help our downtown merchants and to
assist them in marketing themselves.
Downtown Wedding Weekend does this
and, at the same time, will add some
sparkle to your special day. Come and dis-
cover for yourself. I

Vineland Schools Plugged In
A familiar face will be seen
throughout Vineland Public
Schools performing energy con-
sumption audits for a Dallas-
based energy conservation com-
pany that says the district could
save as much as $12.4 million
over a 10-year period.
Ivan Escobar, recently retired
as the district's Assistant
Maintenance Superintendent,
will serve as Energy Specialist
under Cenergistic, said Wayne Weaver, Executive Director of Facilities.
Escobar will perform building audits at routine and odd hours such as holi-
days, weekends and over-nights, according to Weaver.
"That's where Cenergistic is telling us that we'll find the biggest savings, when
the buildings are empty," said Weaver. "They call these 'phantom loads' where
unused equipment is still consuming energy."
The energy program is self sustaining, said Mike Gullatt, Cenergestic's Senior
Vice President for Corporate Communications.
"The salary of the Energy Specialist, fees to Cenergistic, the licensing fee for
the utility accounting software are paid from the savings generated," said Gullatt.
"Once the fee period, or contract period is completed, Cenergistic provides serv-
ices free of charge as long as the energy program stays in place."
Weaver said a first-year savings estimate of $856,000 was based on
Cenergistic's "quick model" that focused on district size and equipment use. "I
gave them preliminary usage numbers and their analysis indicated we could save
that much money through directed shutdown of equipment and employee behav-
ior modification," he said.
Escobar will perform as many as 25 audits a week, assessing energy usage
and determining which running equipment should be powered down. He points
out that staff and student comfort are never compromised.
"Many of our systems are computer controlled, but even in the 'setback' mode
there is equipment running that doesn't show up on our computers but could be
powered down," said Weaver. "Ivan is going to have significant responsibility in
assessing these systems to determine how we can change the usage profile to
save money."
Weaver said Escobar, who retired after 34 years, is a "perfect candidate" for
this position.
"He knows the district inside and out," said Weaver. "He will be able to get in
on weekends and holidays. We already know that our heating, ventilation and air
conditioning systems are the largest consumers of energy and naturally we'll be
looking at that first."
Once all the data is compiled, Cenergistic will create a program that will direct
the shutdown of equipment at certain intervals to maximize energy savings.
"Our automated systems already do that to a certain extent," said Weaver.
"Some of our schools are tied to an energy management system that controls
the 'off' switch, but a lot of it is going to be manual - literally just going in and
shutting things down."
Weaver said Escobar would be working as "a human thermostat."
"He will be basically walking around observing and monitoring temperatures
while looking at equipment running and comparing our usage to bills we get
from the (City of Vineland Electric) utility, and finding ways to save money."
Weaver's role in this initiative will be as a Cenergistic liaison called,
Reporting Senior. When the audits are complete, the two men will reconcile the
data. From there, computer software will be created to implement the appropri-
ate power down times.
For the first four months of the program, the district will keep 100 percent of
the savings in energy costs. After that, the district and Cenergistic will split
equally the savings.
Weaver said Cherie Ludy, the district's business administrator, had experience
with Cenergistic in her previous district, and said the results of reducing energy
waste and saving money were "phenomenal."

Peach Season Continues
New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture
Douglas H. Fisher picked peaches at
Battleview Orchards in Freehold
Township to showcase that the Jersey
peach season continues well into
September. He encouraged consumers to
seek out Jersey peaches wherever they
shop.
Now through mid-September is a
great time to reach for a Jersey peach,
said Secretary Fisher. The peach crop is
stellar this year with excellent quality and
amazing taste. Stop by a farmers market,
visit your local farm stand and ask for
Jersey peaches at the supermarket.
Peaches are one of New Jerseys top
fruit crops, ranking fourth in the nation.
Last year, New Jersey farmers harvested
30,000 tons of peaches valued at $39.6
million.
Our peach season has been expanding
over the years, with new varieties that
ripen well into September, said Santo
John Maccherone, New Jersey Peach
Promotion Council chairman and State
Board of Agriculture member. This year,
especially, our peach season got off to a
late start and we'll have abundant peaches
through September. In fact, growers are
picking the best, most flavorful varieties
right now. So, consumers should take
advantage of that for as long as they last.
Secretary Fisher said the weather is
perfect at this time of year to visit a pick-
your-own farm to pick peaches for a fun
family outing. To find a farm, go to the
Jersey Fresh website at
www.jerseyfresh.nj.gov. Fisher picked a
basket peaches for his family during his
visit to Battleview Orchards, which grows
30 varieties of peaches for pick-your-own
and their retail store.
Scott Applegate, Battleview Orchards
owner, said they expect to be picking
peaches through at least September 15,
overlapping for a couple of weeks with
their pick-your-own apples, giving visitors
a variety of Jersey Fresh fruit from which
to choose.
From now to the end of peach season
is the best quality and best flavor of the
year, said Applegate. Peaches are great
for eating, canning and freezing.
Battleview Orchards has been growing
apples for 100 years. The farm was started
in 1908 by Scott Applegates great-grand-
father, Charles. In 1960, the farm added
peaches and now grows 20 acres of peach-
es, with 5,000 bushels picked each year.
The farm utilizes some of those peaches
in their stores baked goods, offering
peach pies, peach pound cake, peach
muffins and a peach flip.
A half-cup sliced fresh peaches is just
30 calories and provides 10 percent of the
daily recommended amount of vitamin C.
Ripe peaches should be stored in the
refrigerator in a plastic bag for up to days
days. Rinse peaches in cool water and dry
before eating.

Butterfly Garden is Spruced Up
A group of 18 parents and students joined Debra Bechtel, principal, and
Kristina Craig, assistant principal, in a work party recently to clean up the
school's butterfly garden.
"Several parents contacted me after the district open house for redistricting
families in June about cleaning up the butterfly garden in our courtyard area,"
said Bechtel. "I was thrilled with the offer and we set up the work party for
August 20. Parents donated mulch, plants and equipment and, more impor-
tantly, their time for the new school their students would be attending."
Bechtel said the day was a "positive move towards eliminating student
fears on school change as well as helping to beautify our school."
Students join Winslow Elementary Principal Debra Bechtel (third from left) and Vice
Principal Kristina Craig (far right) in the schools revamped garden.

to sacrifice any other project on their agen-
da while supplying employees to PAL.
We were able to find a good balance,
said Wayne Weaver, executive director of
Physical Facilities for VPS. We got guys
over here when we didnt have any kind of
emergencies and it worked out good. Its a
good example of two city departments
working together.
The work maintenance crews have done
has greatly advanced the progress of the
center, which spans approximately 11,700
square feet and resides in the building that
used to house the now-defunct music
venue, Hangar 84. It will be twice the size
of the former PAL Center, closed for two
years now.
Still, even with the extra help the School
Board has provided, there is a need for
more specialized volunteers to see the
completion of the project.
Were still looking for carpenters and
electricians and other people with con-
struction experience to come out and help
us finish this, said Officer Rudy Beu, a
captain of the VPD Juvenile Unit.
Once complete, the PAL Center will
offer a wide array of activities aimed at
keeping kids occupied and off the streets,
away from drug use and gang violence.
There are plans for boxing, basketball, and
karate. Plus a stageleft over from Hangar
84to produce pageants and plays, and
hold movie nights.
But the Center will not be strictly for
physical activity. It also features a comput-
er lab, and a tutor centerrun by volunteer
teachers. Moreover, the building will be
home for the annual Vineland PAL sum-
mer camp, which offers area parents an
affordable summer camp option for their
children.
The PAL Center is a great need we
have in the city of Vineland, said
Bermudez. For kids in the community, we
need a center to come to with activities for
them. Its a good way to get involved. Its
worked well in the past and were just hop-
ing to make it better now.
Financially, the long-term goal of the
PAL Center is to be self-sufficient, funding
itself by holding events like plays and per-
formances, produced by local organizations
like the Boys and Girls Club.
We want to support ourselves through
our own events, said Officer Tim
McLaughlin, sergeant of the Juvenile Unit.
Right now we function off of donations,
fees, and grant money. Were hoping we
can hold enough events to cover our costs.
Though the building still needs to be
inspected, officials anticipate it will be able
to support an audience of up to 500 people
for events.
If self-sufficiency does occur, it will be
made possible in part by the city councils
decision to reduce the yearly rent for the
PAL Center from $2,000 to $1, an initiative
that was spearheaded by Councilman Paul
Spinelli.
Councilman Spinelli brought to my
attention their funding issues, said
Bermudez. I thought about it, and it made
sense for us. If its something that can help
with this project, its one way we can give
back to them.
The reason for the uncertainty sur-
rounding a date of completion, according to
Bermudez, once again relates to a lack of
volunteer support, something that plagued
the project before the Board of Education
stepped in.
There is still work to be done, and
were still in need of some volunteers, he
said. As soon as we get all this work
doneand its not muchwell be ready to
open. That depends on how much help we
get, besides what the School Board has
already done.
The delays havent been because of a
lack of effort, added Beu. Wed be remiss
if we didnt thank the School Board for
the tremendous help theyve been. Were
anxious to open. We get calls every day
asking when were going to be open.
Were chomping at the bit just like every-
one else. I

T
he final lines of Alfred Lord
Tennysons poem Ulysses
serve as a fitting description of
how the members of Atlantic
Street House (ASH) commune pursued
their mission in the 1970s: to strive, to
seek, to find and not to yield. Those lines,
however, apply just as well to the members
lives beyond their existence in their inten-
tional community.
By 1979, the commune had witnessed the
departure of all but one of its founders,
Maggie DeMarco. Ed Nakawatase and Dave,
Ceci, Paul and Emily Fava had taken their
leave along with Geoff Agrons. Virginia
Sheppard, Nancy Sowell and a Wisconsin
attorney named Grid Hall, who worked for
Bridgetons legal services, had also come
and gone. By the summer of 1979, Jeanne
Garrison and Susan Renton moved out.
There were various reasons for the
departures. The Favas marriage had ended,
Agrons returned to college and some mem-
bers left the South Jersey area.
I left when it became too hard to be in
two places, Philadelphia and Bridgeton,
with a child and a partner who had made
her home in Philadelphia, said
Nakawatase, who served as American
Friends Service Committees National
Representative for Native American Affairs
from 1974 until 2005 Ginny had moved to
Seattle, and then moved back to the area
some years later.
Hall returned to Wisconsin after a year
in Bridgeton and Sowell reports that she
finished college and moved to Connecticut
for a teaching job. Currently I live in
Kensington, California, Agrons explained.
I am a physician (a pediatric radiologist)
and a fine arts photographer.
Others, however, remained local like
DeMarco. After working on farms for a
while, I was hired by the City of Bridgeton
to do community development work start-
ing in 1983, and stayed with the City asssis-
tant director of Community Development
until 1995, she explained. Most of the
work was managing housing rehabilitation
programs. I retired in 2008 from a position
with the State of NJ as a tax auditor.
Ceci Brandt, who was married to Dave
Fava when ASH was founded, currently
resides in Vineland and teaches Hatha
Yoga. My employment after leaving ASH,
she explained, included working as an
activities director in a local nursing home
In 1987 I received a Bachelors of Science
degree in Human Services from Thomas
Edison State College. In 1994 I received a
MSW degree from University of
Pennsylvania. During my career as a social
worker, I was fortunate to work with a
national program for children with disabili-
ties and their families, National Lekotek
Program, and for a local Hospice, now
known as SJH Hospice Care.
One ASH member is not only local, but
close to the house she shared in the 1970s.
Garrison, who pursued a library degree,
recalls that she moved out of the com-
mune on my own and have since lived
alone in two different locations, each only
blocks from our Atlantic Street house.
In its final year, the Atlantic Street
dwelling served as home to DeMarco and
five VISTA workers. According to the ASH
chronology, the house was placed on the
market in summer 1978 and sold to Vince
Whelan in spring 1980. By the time of its
sale, 18 people had been part of the ASH
commune.
We were a bunch of individuals wading
around in the surf, DeMarco explained
metaphorically. We built a boat that got us
out to deeper water, and from there each of
us got launched. The communal life did not
have to last forever to accomplish its objec-
tives for each of us. We each grew and
moved on with our individual lives.
The memories shared by ASH members
for this series culminated in a reunion at
Parvin State Park on April 14 of this year,
the third such gathering for the former
Atlantic Street residents. And like its previ-
ous tenants, the house itself has undergone
its own series of renovations and remains
as resilient as ever.
When asked if ASH could exist today, all
but one of the eight members interviewed
responded affirmatively, citing economic,
social and psychological advantages.
The dissenting member, Agrons,
explained his view this way: ASH was
sui generis.
It was, indeed, unique. I

The GVCC wants to make you aware of
a new program to help homebuyers,
particularly those impacted by
Superstorm Sandy.
The New Jersey Housing and Mortgage
Finance Agency (HMFA) has recently
launched the Sandy Homebuyer
Assistance Program, providing up to
$50,000 in forgivable mortgage assis-
tance to qualified borrowers seeking to
purchase homes in any of the nine
Sandy-impacted counties: Atlantic,
Bergen, Cape May, Essex, Hudson,
Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean or Union.
The goal is to boost the purchasing
power of low- and moderate-income
households, primarily renters displaced
by Sandy, to successfully purchase a
home, as well as to stimulate the hous-
ing market for new and restored homes
in the nine federally designated Sandy-
impacted counties.
More information is available at
www.njhousing.gov or by calling 1-855-
SANDYHM (726-3946).

Annual Mud Run Set for
September 21
Plans for the Barbara Cook Cancer
Foundations (BCCF) annual Bill Bottino
Mud Run for Cancer event scheduled for
Saturday, September 21 at the New Jersey
Motorsports Park (NJMP) are being final-
ized to make this 6th annual event the best
ever, according to BCCF officials.
Bob Karan, president of the Barbara
Cook Cancer Foundation (BCCF) reported,
We are currently on track to reach our
2,500 participants goal and will hopefully
exceed last years $150,000 donation to
help fight cancer.
The Barbara Cook Cancer Foundation
has donated over $300,000 through its
annual cancer fundraising events. Our
partnerships with Bottinos ShopRite
stores, New Jersey Motorsports Park along
with major media relationships have
proven to be a great combination for suc-
cess, Karan noted.
Norm Walker, BCCF Mud Run director
reported, We have pretty much finalized
the four-mile course for this year and its
going to be a blast. A lot of new obstacles
will be both challenging and fun for all ages
and skill levels. NJMPs head of mainte-
nance Paul Bonney has become an expert
in developing mud run courses at
Thunderbolt Raceway. Between Paul and
BCCF super volunteer Joe Profetto, we
have a great team to build a spectacular
course. Walker also pointed out, This
year we have formed partnerships with
HaasPeters Construction and others in

The World Famous Glenn Miller
Orchestra at the Landis Theater
Glenn Miller was just 34 years old when
he launched his famous orchestra 75 years
ago in March 1938. He always surrounded
himself with young musicians and it is fit-
ting that his band lives on today under the
leadership of 36-year-old Nick Hilscher. He
will take the lead when PNC Arts Alive
presents Discover Your Arts with the World
Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra in an exclu-
sive matinee appearance at the Landis
Theater on Friday, September 20 at 2 p.m.
Nick Hilscher first appeared with the
Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1998 when he
was only 19. It was a dream come true for
the young musician who was a fan since
childhood.
Been listening to Glenn Miller and his
Orchestra play the hits, says Hilscher.
Man that band could swing! No wonder it
hit me like a ton of bricks, knocked me out
and changed my life when I was 11!
In high school, Hilscher was not inter-
ested in contemporary music. For special
events he would put together Dixieland
bands and the kids would eat it up. He is
delighted that there is always a contingent
of college and high school kids at Glenn
Miller Orchestra shows, along with baby
boomers and World War II generation fans.
All ages are welcome at the Landis
Theater matinee show to experience first
hand the timeless and romantic music that
continues to move audiences worldwide.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra performs
about 300 shows per year and is always in
top form. The program will include all the
classic hits In The Mood, Chattanooga
Choo Choo, A String of Pearls,
Moonlight Serenade, Tuxedo Junction
and many more.
Discover Your Arts is being presented by
PNC Arts Alive, a five-year, $5 million
investment from the PNC Foundation that
supports visual and performing arts groups
with the goal of increasing arts access and
engagement.
For more information on PNC Arts Alive
and the grant recipients visit
www.PNCARTSALIVE.com.
