Local soccer team wins Region I Presidents Cup, will compete in national
arena next month. { BY BLAKE CHRISTY }

The exhuberant players and coaches of the Cape Express Youth


Soccer Club pose for this photo after winning the three-day
Region I Presidents Cup tournament on May 30.

efying all expectations, the Cape Express Youth


Soccer Club recently won the U.S. Youth Soccer
Region I Presidents Cup Tournament and are
moving on to the National Championships.
Being one of the smallest clubs in the Region I Tournament
put a lot of doubt in the minds of their competition. Spencer
Infranco (St. Augustine Prep), a player on the Cape Express
Youth Soccer Club, said, No one expected us to make the
run we did.
It was a hot and humid 85 degrees during the three-day
Presidents Cup tournament, and by the time they got to
their fifth and last game on May 30, the Cape Express team
had to find the strength to take on their undefeated competitionthe ASA Juventus of Maryland.
Before making it to the Presidents Cup, the Cape soccer
club had a record-breaking season here at home; the team won
the New Jersey State Cup Championship about a month ago.
The Cape teams coach, Charlie Duccilli, has been coaching soccer since the 1970s, but he noted how special this
particular group of young men is, Every player on our team
is a star player, but when they get together they give up
their star status and become a team member.
Going into the second half, the Cape Express team was
trailing, 1-0. Coach Duccilli pulled his team aside to boost
morale, [I said] continue doing what we have been doing
[all season]; lets keep it going.
Spencer Infranco turned the game around and tied
things up with a header through a corner kick by Christian
Rafter (Middle Township).
With the game all tied up, tension was high on the field. The
ASA Juventus had seven more free players to sub in at any
moment, while the Cape team only had one (due to an injury,
a red card suspension and simply having a smaller team).
The Cape teams center-back defender, Zach Thomas

Paula Poundstone performs


her stand-up at the Levoy
on Friday. { BY MARGIE BARHAM }
If it were as cold outside in the winter as they
make it inside in the summer, theyd put the heat
on. It makes no sense. Paula Poundstone on
air-conditioning in Florida
For those who like dry, quick, clever and
spontaneous observational humor youre in for a
treat; on June 17, comedienne Paula Poundstone
comes to Millvilles Levoy Theatre.
Poundstone draws her humor from everyday
life, leaning heavily on material from the peaks
and valleys of her own life as a single mom with
three children and a large assortment of a dozen
or so pet cats. For more than 30 years, she has
taken her wry and self-deprecating humor to
comedy stages across the country. She has made
regular appearances on popular late-night network television shows, is a regular panelist on
National Public Radios weekly news quiz show,
Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me and tours across the
country. Among her many accolades, she was
the first female to win a Cable ACE Award
(1992) for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for
her HBO special, Cats, Cops, and Stuff. Last
year, she was part of the talented cast of voices

Local employees of BB&T Bank


came out in force on Wednesday
and Thursday of last week (June 8
and 9, 2016) to volunteer their time
beautifying the Millville Community
Garden on Buck Street in Millville
(next to the library). Some two
dozen employees participated in the volunteer effort organized by BB&T
Commercial Sales Assistant Lauren Kirk. We are here for two days to install a
decorative fence, assemble a shed, provide gardening supplies, lay down mulch to
improve the Millville Community garden, which is available to the entire community, explained Kirk. Its all part of BB&Ts Lighthouse Project, which provides up to
$1,000 for a community project of our choice, while encouraging our employees to
dedicate a day during work hours to volunteer. Kirk added that she and her fellow
BB&T employees reached out to Samantha Silvers, Millvilles Assistant Planner, to
help identify a worthy project. Silvers also worked with Eagle Pallet of Millville to
donate pallets the BB&T employees used to build the fence at the site.

A Reality Fair, held on


June 6 at Millville Memorial
High School, with 173 9th
and 10th graders attending.
The fair was co-hosted by Bay Atlantic FCU, Members First of NJ FCU,
Thunderbolt Area FCU, Bridgeton Onized FCU and the NJCUL Foundation.
A Reality Fair (or Financial Reality Fair) is an interactive financial literacy
tool where high school students experience some of the financial challenges they
will face when they start life on their own. Its a hands-on experience in which
students identify their career choice and starting salaries, then complete a budget sheet requiring them to live within their monthly salary while paying for
basics such as housing, utilities, transportation, clothing, and food. Additional
expenditures such as entertainment and travel are factored in as well.
Throughout the fair, there are many temptations for additional spending, and
students must learn to balance their wants and needs to live on their own. After
the students have visited the various booths covering components of independent living, students balance their budget, and then sit down with a financial
counselor for review.

aspiring weather forecasters. The contest,
being sponsored in part by TD Bank, will
begin on Saturday, June 18 when SNJ
Todays weather forecaster Noreaster
Nick Pitman officiates the contest beginning at 11 a.m. from the Deptford Mall. This
is the first in a series of local shopping centers where young people can enter the contest, which ends on July 10.
Forecast Kids is open to area youth in
the three to seven, nine to 12, and 13 to 16age categories who are residing in Cape
May, Atlantic, Cumberland, Camden,
Gloucester, and Salem counties. Each child
or teenager that enters will be given 60 seconds to audition with their live version of a
weather forecast on a green screen set-up
on location. Clips of selected auditions will
air for the duration of the contest on the
SNJ Today News show, which airs weeknights at 7 and 11 p.m. throughout southern
New Jersey and the Philadelphia area.

Pitman said he was inspired to coordi-

nate the contest recalling his experience of

This will give young people an opportunity to see what its like to be an actual on-air
weather person, he said.
The contest winners will be ranked and
selected by the SNJ Today news team for
their enthusiasm and interpretation of a
weather forecast. Forecast Kids winners
will be announced on the evening news
show on Friday, July 15.
Winning clips in each of the age categories will appear on the news show in

with new Vineland Community Pride Trailer.

come, first serve basis. Funding for the


Community Pride Trailer is provided by the
Vineland Clean Communities Program and
the Department of Economic Development.
The Community Pride Trailer is available to Vineland organizations, civic
groups, schools, or other volunteer groups
looking to do a neighborhood cleanup, public lands cleanup, or other types of beautification projects that will benefit the city,
said Assistant Director of Solid Waste
Management Sharon Flaim. If your group
has a special project in mind, we would
love to hear about it to see if it fits within
our program guidelines.
Studies conducted by Keep America
Beautiful have found that litter cleanup costs
U.S. taxpayers almost $11.5 billion each year
and reduces property values and housing
prices in the community by up to 7%.
Requirements to use the Community
Pride Trailer include:
Trailer may only be used in Vineland.
The project must have a designated
coordinator and include a minimum group
of at least five volunteers.
The Trailer may be borrowed for a
maximum of two days. City of Vineland
staff will deliver and pick up the Trailer
from the designated project area.
All required paperwork must be completed by the project coordinator.
All Clean Communities Program safety
procedures must be followed.
According to Vineland officials, the
Community Pride Trailer is only one part of
a long-term strategy the Department of
Economic Development, the Vineland
Clean Communities Program, and the
Greater Vineland Chamber of Commerce
Image Committee are developing to address
littering behavior and the existing litter
environment. The Community Pride Trailer
proudly displays the phrase Join The
Team, Keep It Clean! which the group has
adopted as their slogan.
The Greater Vineland Chamber of
Commerce is proud to partner with the City
of Vineland in this campaign, said Executive
Director Dawn Hunter. The strength of
our community depends on taking pride in
the cleanliness and appearance of our properties. Through this program, we hope to
encourage and support all businesses who
make efforts to reduce littering.
For more information about reserving
the Community Pride Trailer or other litter
abatement and recycling programs, call
856-794-4089 or visit vinelandcity.org.

Dr. Yves Salomon-Fernandez, has begun


work as the 7th president of Cumberland
County College. A steady stream of students, faculty and staff greeted the new
president on her first day on campus
recently. With great enthusiasm for what
she calls the limitless potential of
Cumberland County College, SalomonFernandez reached out to the college community via an e-mail.
I am both energized and inspired to
start working collaboratively with each of
you to shape the immensely bright future
that can be ours, she wrote.
In a message directed specifically to stu-

dents, Dr.
SalomonFernandez said,
for half a century, the College
has been launching students like
you to great
careers and further studies.
Today, I join the
extraordinary
faculty and staff at CCC in continuing that
great tradition and in finding new ways to
propel you even further in your academic
and professional pursuits.

POUNDSTONE

{ 6 } the grapevine | JUNE 15, 2016

Continued from cover


in Pixars critically acclaimed
movie, Inside Out, where she
voiced character Forgetter Paula.
As if she didnt have enough
to do with stand-up comedy,
raising kids and taking care of
pets, she is also an accomplished
author of a number of books
including Theres Nothing in This
Book That I Meant to Say (with a
forward written by Mary Tyler
Moore), which features biographies of legendary historical figures that she mixes into her own
life. She also has added her
unique humor to learning, cowriting three math books with
her former math teacher.
The Grapevine recently caught
up with this remarkable woman
for a preview of her visit here
and for answers to a few pressing questions:
Grapevine: Who or what
inspires you?
Paula Poundstone: I would say I am
inspired by everything. Theres a section
of my brain that pays attention all the time
that makes it to my work on stage. Its like
a pool skimmer.
GV: Who is your favorite comedian?
PP: I love Bob and Ray (a deadpan duo
whose heyday was in the 1950s and last
incarnation ended in 1987 on NPR.) Ray
has been dead for years, and Bob just died
at the age of 92. You can still get their
tapes, though. They are so damn funny. I
was visiting colleges with my daughter
and there in the college bookstore was a
Bob and Ray tape. Even though they are
gone, they are still funny and relevant.
Carl Reiner is a national treasure. I love
him. He is so goddamn funny! But have
you ever seen the movie Oceans Eleven?
Who thought to cast him in a role for a
movie like that? Really, who said, Hey,
Carl Reiner would be perfect for that
part? [Reiner played Saul Bloom, a
retired con-man who gets back into the
heist business. He reprised the role in the
films two sequels, Ocean's Twelve (2004)
and Ocean's Thirteen (2007).]
GV: What brings you joy?
PP: I love to laugh. I really do. And I
really, really do love my job. Its the best to
be with an audience who has come out for
the night to laugh. You get caught up in
the wave of laughter and as a performer it
is magical. People really dont laugh out
loud when they are alone. And, if they are
writing LOL on Facebookthey are almost
always lying!
Electronics is a solitary thing. You sit at
the TV or computer alone, and dont get
the interaction with others as you do in a
theater. An audience feeds off of each
other and laughter becomes contagious.
GV: What is your favorite TV show?

PP: The Dick Van Dyke Show. He and


Mary Tyler Moore were so damn funny. I
love the one when Laura has her toe stuck
in the faucet, and people keep coming in
and out of the bathroom. Dick Van Dyke
had that David Niven mustache that he
drew on with a marker. Thats funny stuff.
But that show wouldnt have been if it
wasnt for Carl Reiner.
GV: This presidential election must be
a comedians dream... what do you think?
PP: Its like watching a car wreck. Id
much prefer just making up silly stories.
GV: What would you be if you werent
a comedienne?
PP: I think I'd probably be dead. Being
a stand-up, in rooms filled with laughter
has been absolutely life-giving. It has been
the ship on which I have weathered many
a storm. On the other hand, I might have
been a really, really, really good table
busser.
GV: Vineland is the dandelion capital
of the world have you eaten a dandelion?
PP: Well, I did not know that, but yes, I
have eaten dandelions. When I was a
teenager I lived with a family in
Massachusetts for a while. They had
seven kids and would go out and get dandelions from the yard and make a salad. I
was wondering, What is with the
weeds? but it was good.
GV: What can the Levoy audience
expect?
PP: I love talking with the audience. I
usually poll them and ask them questions
like what they do for a living and then go
from there. Its like being at a cocktail
party. I
You can follow Paula Poundstone on
social media. She tweets regularly
@paulapoundstone so you can get a
LOL every dayeven if you are alone.

On the anniversary of her passing
June 17, 2014
Time speeds on, two years have passed
Since death its gloom, its shadows cast
Within our home, where all seemed bright,
And took from us a shining light,
We miss that light, and ever will,
Her vacant place theres none to fill.
Down here we mourn, but not in vain,
For up in Heaven we will meet again.
Gone yet not forgotten
Although we are apart, your spirit
lives within us, forever in our hearts.
Loved and sadly missed,
Wife Gloria and family

Always in our hearts


Loved and forever missed,

SOCCER
Continued from cover
(Middle Township), with a smashing volley
off of another corner kick assist from
Christian Rafter.
Immediately after scoring the goal, I
was really just overwhelmed with excitement and was very eager to hear the final
whistle, Thomas said.
In the 65th minute the score was 2-1,
leaving an uncomfortably long amount of
time, 25 minutes, for the ASA Juventus to
take the game back. Luckily, goalkeeper
Anthony Zampirri was able to hold back
the competitions two attempted shots.
Maryland pushed everyone up the last 10
or 15 minutes. They were a really good
team, but Anthony came up really big at the
end and stuffed those two chances and we
hung on, Coach Duccilli said.
Because the Cape team won the Region I
Presidents Cup Tournament, they will now
take their competition national. The 2016
U.S. Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup
Tournament is in Tulsa, OK, July 14-17.
Just hearing National Championship
gives me chills, Infranco said. Thinking
about how we are going to play against the
best teams from all over the country is just
crazy.
Before they can get to Tulsa, the local
boys need to raise $20,000; A GoFundMe
page has been created to reach their goal
(gofundme.com/276afpsk).
Only four teams stand between the Cape
Express Youth Soccer Club and the title of
National Champions.
The way we have been playing, I am
confident that we can beat any team we
come up against, Infranco said. But,
regardless of the outcome, he notes, it
should be a great experience. I

began to populate comic books by the late


1960s.The recent television series Agent
Carter, set in the immediate aftermath of
World War II, has spent its two seasons
on ABC addressing the discrimination
women experienced in the workplace during the decade in which Captain America
first appeared. At Comic Con, Hayley
Atwell made it a point to note the difficulties her character faced as a woman.
The 1960s and early 1970s also witnessed the introduction of AfricanAmerican superheroes that included Black
Panther, whose alter ego is the king of the
fictional African nation of Wakanda, and
Falcon, who shared equal billing with
Captain America in a series of releases.
This year has seen a rebooted Black
Panther comic written by Ta-Nehisi Coates,
a 2015 National Book Award winner.
Despite the respectability comic books
have earned, there are always those who
prefer to treat them as second-rate or
even as a danger to be neutralized. In
1954, the Comics Code was developed in
order to protect juveniles from turning
delinquent from reading the so-called
unsavory material contained in comics.
According to Sean Howes Marvel
ComicsThe Untold Story, for the next
two years the number of titles produced
by the comic industry was halved.
Today, the Marvel Cinematic Universe
regularly comes under attack by critics
who group together all action and computer-graphics-laden films. The New York
Times, forgetting that Marvel can be
traced back to World War II when it
introduced what has become an ongoing
threat from fictional Nazi organization
Hydra, complained that 2015s Avengers:
Age of Ultron opens with one of those
Bond-style blowouts thats so old-fashioned it even includes a Nazi-type villain... This year, it dismissed Captain
America: Civil War as a very expensive,
perpetually renewed workplace sitcom.
The Times seems to have missed what
was apparent to both stars and fans at the
Philadelphia Comic Con, the fact that, as
one young woman acknowledged when
asking Chris Evans a question, the films,
like the comics, reflect the social and
political issues of today. That probably
explains why another fan, who posed a
question to one of the celebrities, teaches
a college course in this particular field of
pop culture. I

opular culture has a way of


chronicling history that is so distinct from academic studies. It
absorbs actual events, using them
as backdrops for its fictional accounts and
preserving the context as a mini-history
lesson. And there is no better evidence of
this than the recent Comic Con held two
weekends ago in Philadelphia.
It has been reported that attendance at
comic-book conventions is on the rise, and
with tens of thousands visiting the four-day
event in Philly that seems accurate. Largely
sporting a Marvel Comics theme, the convention featured appearances by Chris
Evans (Captain America), Anthony Mackie
(Falcon), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), and
Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter). They are all
part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the
TV/film counterpart of the companys print
offerings, which was represented by
Spider-Man group editor Danny Fingeroth.
Comic books and graphic novels have
always exhibited an awareness of the era
in which they were created, and the convention continually acknowledged that
time-capsule quality. A panel discussion
titled Civil Rights and Social Justice
Issues as Reflected in Comic Books
examined how immigration was reflected
in comics. The workshop explained how
Joe Simon, son of an immigrant father,
created Superman, the Krypton-born
superhero who is sent to Earth where, as
one participant explained, he lives out
his dream as an immigrant. The panel
traced the theme to more recent times
with Marvels allegory about mutant
heroes settling in the sanctuary city of
San Francisco where their backgrounds
wouldnt be questioned.
Recently, Marvel luminary Stan Lee
explained how an era could be inspirational. In his forward to Travis Langleys
Captain America vs. Iron Man: Freedom,
Security, Psychology, he wrote, Captain
America was the quintessential World
War II hero and then Iron Man came out
of a different war [Vietnam] with a different generation. I wanted to have fun with
Iron Man. I took all the things the hippies
hated and I let Iron Man represent them.
He was a guy who made munitions. He
helped the nations war effort.
The Vietnam War was only one social
issue incorporated into Marvel comics at
the time. Feminism was also examined
and a significant number of superheroines

to have been inspired by the American custom of Fathers Day. This is in contrast to
Mothers Day, which has a very different

Thailand because it falls on the same day
as the Kings Birthday, which is a public

Happy
Fathers
Day

WWW.GRAPEVINENEWSPAPER.COM |

On July 19, 1910, the governor of the


U.S. state of Washington proclaimed the
nations first Fathers Day. However, it
was not until 1972, some 58 years after
President Woodrow Wilson made
Mothers Day official, that the day became
a nationwide holiday in the United States.
There are a range of events, which may
have inspired the idea of Fathers Day. One
of these was the start of the Mothers Day
tradition in the first decade of the 20th
century. Another was a memorial service
held in 1908 for a large group of men,
many of them fathers, who were killed in a
mining accident in Monongah, West
Virginia in December 1907.
A woman named Sonora Smart Dodd
was an influential figure in the establishment of Fathers Day. Her father raised six
children by himself after the death of their
mother. This was uncommon at that time,
as many widowers placed their children in
the care of others or quickly married again.
Sonora was inspired by the work of
Anna Jarvis, who had pushed for Mothers
Day celebrations. Sonora felt that her
father deserved recognition for what he
had done. The first time Fathers Day was
held in June was in 1910. Father's Day was
officially recognized as a holiday in 1972 by
President Nixon.
Fathers Day is an occasion to mark and
celebrate the contribution that your own
father has made to your life. Many people
send or give cards or gifts to their fathers.
Common Father's Day gifts include sports
items or clothing, electronic gadgets, outdoor cooking supplies and tools for household maintenance.
Because Fathers Day is a relatively
modern holiday, different families have a
range of traditions. These can range from a
simple phone call or greetings card to large
parties honoring all of the father figures
in a particular extended family.
Father figures can include fathers, stepfathers, fathers-in-law, grandfathers and
great-grandfathers and even other male relatives. In the days and weeks before
Fathers Day, many schools and Sunday
schools help their pupils to prepare a handmade card or small gift for their fathers.

ale parenting is not what it once


was. Fatherhood has long abandoned its 1960s definition. Back
then, families relied on a single income
that of the dad, who spent much of his
week at work while the missus stayed
home to care for the kids and handle the
chores. Today, 60 percent of family households depend on two incomes. And the
contemporary dad no longer fits neatly into
the standard of the married male breadwinner and disciplinarian.
Regardless of the changing identity and
priorities of the modern dad, fatherhood
remains an undisputedly tough job. And a
fathers ability to provide for his family is
central to his role. In fact, nearly 93 percent
of dads with kids younger than 18 were
employed in 2015, according to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. But some dads those
who live in states where economic opportunity abounds and quality of life is emphasized have it better than others.
In light of Fathers Day, WalletHub analyzed the 50 U.S. states and the District of
Columbia across 20 key metrics that collec-

tively speak to each areas work-life balance, health conditions, financial climate
and child-rearing environment for working
dads. WalletHubs data set ranges from the
unemployment rate for dads with kids
younger than 18 to male life expectancy to
day care quality.
