2014 Business
Outlook, Part 2
C
umberland County officials are forecasting
multiple regional development projects for
2014. Cumberland County Department of
Economic Development Director Jim Watson pre-
dicts that the renovation, opening and expansion of
Vineland's Medical Mile properties will create a
regional healthcare hub and add hundreds of local
health-related jobs.
County leaders understand a skilled workforce
attracts investments and new business. To meet
demand, the Freeholders are intentionally focusing
on education and training in food processing and
manufacturing starts. Even entry-level positions
must achieve certain skills, says Watson.
The first of a planned four-tiered training agenda
is a six-week training course, developed as a joint

ont let the title of David Brombergs latest CD,
Only Slightly Mad, fool you. The singer-guitarist,
who will be appearing at Millvilles Levoy
Theater February 21, is as sharp as ever and the familiar
wit and seasoned playing weve come to expect since
his first album hit the racks 40-plus years ago are clear-
ly intact.
Im proud of it, Bromberg said of his latest release
in a recent phone interview. I think its the best one
Ive ever done.
The title, he explains, actually comes from a line in
one of the albums songs, The Strongest Man Alive,
which Bromberg refers to as an Old English drinking
song I wrote. The line was recommended as the title
by the CDs producer, Larry Campbell, who, like
Bromberg, once served as a Bob Dylan sideman.
Larry knows what hes doing, and hes got a few
Grammys to prove it, Bromberg said. Hes also an old
friend. It just all works.
Only Slightly Mad is an eclectic mix of material rang-
ing from original compositions to the gospel blues of
Blind Willie Johnson and the bluegrass lament of the
Stanley Brothers. Along the way, Bromberg visits David
Wiffens confessional Drivin Wheel, his favorite track
on the CD, and engages in some musical and verbal riff-
ing on Rick Estrins stinging Ill Take You Back.
We did things mostly that weve been performing
live, he explained, so we just performed them in the
studio. Larry tweaked and adjusted and so on and after
we had it done, I suggested some edits.
Only Slightly Mad was recorded in two weeks last
March at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, New York.
It features Brombergs touring group, which consists of
mandolin player Mark Cosgrove, fiddler Nate Grower,
bassist Butch Amiot and drummer Josh Kanusky, in
addition to Campbell, several of his bandmates from the
Midnight Ramble Band and some special guests.

Does and Donts
{ BY PAUL J. DOE, FORMER EDITOR, CUMBERLAND NEWS }
My Next Big
Adventure
P
eople sometimes stop me (usually
in ShopRite) and ask when Im
going to start writing again.
According to John Lennon, Life
is what happens when youre busy making
other plans.
He may not have been right about Lucy
being in the sky with diamonds, but I
think he was pretty close on this one.
I stopped writing because I was busy
making plans for my next big adventure.
The grandchildren are all in school full
time and that pretty much put an end to
my adventures in babysitting, and after
that I found out how easy it is to just do
nothing.
Thats about the same time I starting
driving my wife crazy with my next big
adventure plans.
A little background is necessary.
Ive always been a believer in next big
adventures.
Right out of high school, I joined the
Navy to see the world (Cuba for a year and
a half, six months in Virginia drydock
aboard a carrier, and then a year of cruis-
ing the Caribbean).
After that it was college, until I
dropped out to travel out west where I
worked as a ranch hand (cowboy sounds
better butto be honesteven ranch hand
makes what I was doing sound a lot more
exciting than it really was).
Then back to college and a decision
about what I wanted to do with the rest of
my life. Police and firemen have a lot of
adventures but neither profession really
appealed to me.
I took a college course in journalism
and discovered I really liked itby the
second semester, I was the editor of the
school paper.
I parlayed that into a job with the
Detroit News (at the time, the sixth-largest
newspaper in the United States).
They say if youre doing what you love,
youre not really working. That was
absolutely true for me for the next 40-plus
years.
Plus there were a lot of adventures
the Jimmy Hoffa disappearance, the
wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, the
Detroit riots, just to name a few.
When that all started to get dull, I
moved to South Jersey as executive editor
of the News newspapers here (Vineland
Times, Millville Daily and some Atlantic
County weeklies).
Then I started my own newspaper, The
Cumberland News.
When that ended, I worked for a year
as a beat reporter in the Wildwoods,
wrote a book, ran a couple of mayoral
election campaigns (neither successful)
and enjoyed my adventures in babysitting
with the grandchildren.
Most of that was exciting enough that I
didnt have a lot of time to miss any big
adventures.
After I turned 69 (in November 2012), I
started to get that old itchy, twitchy feel-
ing again. What hadnt I done? What did I
still want to see? Whats the next big
adventure?
I wrote in these pages the year before
last about my big brother, who actually
created a bucket list (I wrote about his
trip to Texas to fly in a World War II
Mustang fighter). Right now hes on a
seven-week cruise to Australia, Fiji,
Singapore and other warm ports down
under.
Each morning I check my e-mail for
photos of him checking something new off
his list.
But thats not me.
My wifes ideas of big adventures are
vacation cruises or day trips to Lancaster
antique shops.
Mine involved selling everything and
moving our families to Idaho or Montana,
where we would build a Ponderosa-style
ranch and live off the land.
You can imagine how those discussions
went.
And then, last July, I got another lesson
in, be careful what you wish for.
Turns out my next big adventure is
dealing with bladder cancer. Actually, my
doctor and his terrific staff are dealing
with it and Im along for the ride.
To quote Michael Corleone [The
Godfather: Part III]: Just when I thought
I was out, they pull me back in.
Which brings me back to getting back
into writing on a regular basis. Once upon
a time a time, it was something I did quite
well and (I hope) will again once I get rid
of the rust.
Good Lord willing, Ill be back next
week with a chat with Mayor Bermudez
(who didnt hang up on me). I

Now Enrolling For
Fall 2014 Session
Downtown Vineland { BY GARY HOLLOWAY, EXEC. DIR., VDID / MAINSTREET VINELAND }
I
T
hose of you who travel through
our downtown regularly may
take the streetscapeand the
businesses that make up that
streetscapefor granted. You see them
every day without necessarily knowing
everything about the individual businesses.
You will find, however, that many of
these businesses have special stories to
tell. Thats why Im inaugurating a series
of columns, called Did You Know
about these businesses. It will run as a
regular feature, with some interruptions
as other stories about downtown warrant.
Some of these businesses have been pro-
filed here before, but this time the profiles
will be up close and personalin the busi-
ness owners own words. This first install-
ment will be about Als Shoes at 639 E.
Landis Avenue. Ill let owner Brian Lankin
tell the story:
Until recently, downtown Vineland had
two shoe stores with a long history of personal
serviceMartini Shoes, with 94 years of serv-
ice, and my store, Als Shoes, with 53 years of
service. When I mean service, I mean measur-
ing your foot, getting the shoe that best fits
your foot and suits your style, letting you try
it on for fit, dying evening and wedding shoes,
and other extras. With the Martinis recent
retirement, Im the one upholding the tradi-
tion of personalized service that you proba-
bly didnt know still existed in a shoe store.
Let me fill you in with a little history.
The original shoe store in this location
was Miles Shoesone of the retail divisions
of the Melville Corporation, along with
Thom McAn Shoes. You can still see the
name Miles on the tiles in the window
area. My father, the late Al Lankin, began
as a salesman at Miles Shoes and, from
1963 to 1978, was manager. He then bought
the building and opened Als Shoes the fol-
lowing year. I helped out at the store as a
youngster with my mother during sidewalk
sales. I continued to work there part-time
through high school and college, and full-
time after graduating college.
My three specialties are wedding shoes,
orthopedic shoes, and work shoes. Weddings
account for the biggest part of my business,
with the whole bridal party coming in for
shoes, which I can dye on the premises. The
orthopedic shoes I carry, including diabetic
shoes, I stock in various widths. Many of
todays work shoes need to be slip-resistant
and I stock those that meet that require-
ment. I have dress shoes in various colors
and widths for the entire family and they
are much in demand during the Easter
period. Business schools and private schools
that have dress codes are also clients of
mine for dress shoes. I also stock a wide
range of sneakers, including black and
white sneakers for work. With the closing of
Martini Shoes, I have absorbed their line of
SAS and Wolverine shoes.
The specialized service I offer is com-
bined with a year-round selection of all
shoes in a large inventory. My building used
to house the J.C. Penney store, so I have a
lot of storage space.
Did you know that such a shoe store
still existed? We have one right in down-
town Vineland. Come in or call me at 856-
691-1180. Brian Lankin I

Did You Know... Als Shoes
The first installment of a new series of columns familiarizing

W
ithout a doubt, the most
frequent phone calls we
receive are from families
seeking information about
how to become our next partner family.
And for good reason. The callers under-
stand that, by being selected, an opportu-
nity opens up for them to enjoy the dream
of homeownership that was once out of
grasp. We accept applications for partner
families roughly once a year, and this year
have chosen February as the month we are
making applications available.
Applications can ONLY be obtained by
attending one of our informational ses-
sions scheduled for this month.
Two information sessions were held
yesterday, February 11, in Millville (at the
1st Presbyterian Church and at Fairfield
Inn & Suites). There are two more ses-
sions you may attend:
February 13 7 p.m. Vineland City
Council Chambers, 640 E. Wood St.
February 18 7 p.m. Fairfield Inn &
Suites, 301 Bluebird Ln. in Millville
(Behind Lowes).
These sessions are open to all county
residents. We ask that small children not
be brought to the sessions. You should
plan on being there about one hour. There
is no need to registerjust show up pre-
pared to learn more about our mission and
to walk out with an application in hand.
Please be on time.
So, do you meet the criterion to be
selected as our next partner family?
Without the benefit of actually reviewing
your application, it is impossible to say,
but there are a few benchmarks that must
be met in order for your application to be
considered. They are as follows:
Applicants must be considered low
income, having an annual family income
less than 80 percent of the median income
for Cumberland County. A family of four
would need to have an annual income of
less than $50,500 to qualify. To see if a
family of your size would qualify, visit
http://www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/
il/il14/index_il2014.html
While the first hurdle to overcome is
proving yourself to be under the afore-
mentioned income limits, the applicant
must also be able to demonstrate a stable
source of income which would be suffi-
cient enough to permit them to buy the
home from us at the end of construction.
Having an income that is viewed as too
low may eliminate you from being selected,
as we would be doing no one a favor by
placing a home into the hands of a family
that could not afford to own it long term.
Credit checks are conducted on appli-
cants who fall into the income ranges out-
lined above. While perfect credit is not a
requirement, average-to-good credit will
strengthen your application.
You must have a true, legitimate need
for housing. Home visits are conducted on
applicants who make it to the final round
of consideration.
If selected as our next partner family,
you would be required to put up to 500
sweat equity hours into the construction
of your own home. Having you work
alongside of our volunteers is a critical
component of our program.
You must also be willing to take home
ownership courses as well as financial
literacy classes.
This year, attendees can double their
chances of being selected as a HFH partner
family. In addition to our planned home
construction project, Salem County
Habitat for Humanity is planning to con-
struct a home in Pittsgrove Township later
this year. Because of the proximity to
Cumberland County, they have agreed to
allow those who come out to an informa-
tional session to also apply to be their part-
ner family for the Pittsgrove Township
home. The requirements for Salem County
closely mirror ours, but may differ slightly.
A representative from SCHFH will be on
hand to answer any questions.
If youve read this article, congratula-
tions, you have already started on the path
toward homeownership. The next step is
to select a session to attend. There is no
cost to apply and you have nothing to lose
by turning in an application. Take the next
step toward home ownership.
To learn more about applying for home
ownership visit us at www.cumberland-
habitat.org and select the Become a
Homeowner tab. I
Anyone seeing more information regarding
Habitat for Humanity should contact
Robert Scarpa, Executive Director at
rscarpa@cumberlandhabitat.org or visit

On the 10th Year Since Your Passing
For Bobby Halpin
December 15, 1979 February 20, 2004
As long as my heart beats,
You will always be safe
You will never be troubled;
You will never be scared
You will always be remembered and loved
You will always be alive
Every tear that has been shed for you,
has been a prayer for you
Every time I have been overwhelmed with sadness
and grief.
The memory of you, brings me back to my feet.
From your first breath and to your last, I was there with you
So grateful to be there with you
As your mother, I promise to never give up, to never give in, to never forget that
you were once and always will be a part of me, not apart from me
As long as my heart beats, To forever and back again,
Fiercely loved and never forgotten
Love Always, Mom, Dad & Family

effort of the Office of Workforce & Training,
Cumberland County College (CCC) and mul-
tiple food processing organizations have
already designed the curriculum. The course
has been offered four times in the last year,
with 18 to 20 students per session, at CCC.
This fall, they are hoping to launch a one-
year program of basic mechanics that will
certify technicians to work on specific equip-
ment. CCC also has the idea of creating a
two-year college food processing degree.
The ultimate goal would be to see these
students head to a four-year program, possi-
bly creating a new degree in partnership
with Rowan University School of Business.
Hoping for a fall groundbreaking, the
New Jersey Department of Education has
awarded preliminary approval for the
196,000-square-foot Cumberland County
Technical Education Center on Vineland's
CCC campus. High school students who cur-
rently travel between their traditional and
technical schools could soon attend a new
combined facility.
The proposed 30,000-square-foot Center
for Workforce & Economic Development
(CWED) will merge the Cumberland
Empowerment Zone, Cumberland County
Department of Economic Development and
the Office of Workforce & Training, plus new
classroom space, under one roof.
Groundbreaking is planned for June.
VINELAND: Although our economic
recovery remains slow, I expect a more
promising 2014 from the previous few years,
based on our loan application pipeline and
inquiries coming through our office, says
City of Vineland Director of Economic
Development Sandy Forosisky.
Multiple planned projects and renova-
tions will make downtowns Landis Avenue a
commercial centerpiece. The Office of
Economic Development has met several
times to formulate greater development of
the West Landis Avenue corridor.
Traveling east, businesses along the 500
to 800 blocks of Landis Avenue will refur-
bish, relocate or have new purposes. The old
Time Out building (547 Landis Ave.) will
become two or three storefront rental prop-
erties. A catering hall and entertainment
venue will open at #619; the Landis Pig Roast
will be located at #623.
Together, the City and Cumberland
County College plan to launch a culinary
school at the former Lou Ferrettis at Moris
restaurant site at 830 E. Landis Ave.
Although closed, the kitchen facilities are
viable for potential use.

Parts of the two-story buildings redesign
will incorporate firefighting antiques and
memorabilia.
At the North and South Industrial Parks,
the City will landscape multiple entrances at
Garden Road, Mill Road, De Marco Drive,
Weymouth Road and Gallagher Drive.
Vineland is welcoming these expansion,
relocation or construction projects that will
add jobs:
Worldwide Glass is relocating to the old
Kimble/Kontes Glass building in Vineland
from Norma. The larger facility will mean
additional employees within a few years.
MAE Research Center, providing pack-
aging research for high-profile companies
like Pepsi, has relocated to Vineland and will
hire five employees.
A newly constructed assisted living
facility, with 69 residential units, will rede-
velop the old Newcomb Hospital site. On the
same property, the hospital renovation will
provide 102 mixed-use units for veterans and
market housing.
Bridor, the Canadian firm with a French
parent company, plans a major expansion
and 59 new employees over five years.
In the cold storage industry, First Choice
Freezers is expanding its building and RLS is
moving to Vineland to construct a new facility.
Premier Orthopedics will build a new
facility.
Mamacita food processing is expanding.
Complete Care will build a new health-
care facility, employing 35, on Sherman Avenue.
Multiple urgent-care centers are planned.
WESTERN/SOUTHERNCUMBERLAND
COUNTY: The nonprofit, nonpartisan
Cumberland Development Corporation (CDC)
supports the economic development of
Bridgeton and seven of the Countys smaller
municipalitiesDeerfield, Hopewell, Lawrence,
Maurice River, Shiloh, Stow Creek and Upper
Deerfield. The agency also maximizes coordi-
nation, cooperation, and communication
between the private sector and government.
In 1995, several area mayors met with
businesses and Chamber of Commerce rep-
resentatives to establish cooperative efforts
on multiple economic, social and community
issues. They formed the CDC in 1995 and
hired a full-time executive director in 1998.
Its board meets nine times a year; Hopewells
Mayor Bruce Hankins is chairman.
Executive Director Tony Stanzione says,
Since 2008, the CDC has emerged as an
important cooperative forum for sharing ideas
and services, even sharing some legal services,
between government and the private sector.
We help spur opportunities for the local
economies and small proprietors trying to get
through the tough times until things improve.
Although western Cumberland County
towns must compete with larger municipali-
ties more accessible to Rt. 55, Stanzione
reports it appears there will not be any limited
access road to the Bridgeton area. He states,
The lack of money and the environmental
concerns mean we are where we are and what
we are. We must be creative and work togeth-
er cooperatively to deal with it and succeed.
Stanzione touts several key projects recent-
ly completed or moving forward this year:
Bridgeton Area Chamber and the CDC
will produce and market nationwide a $17,000
four-minute impact movie, via YouTube and
direct e-mail promotion, that invites business-
es to western Cumberland County.
Hopewell Township will market 40 avail-
able acres for professional, light industrial and
retail use at the Hopewell Township Business
Park. In January 2014, Hopewell approved an
Economic Development Strategic Plan to
encourage growth of the Business Park and to
support professional and retail businesses
along Shiloh Pike (Rt. 49).
Upper Deerfield has completed its water
system infrastructure improvements for
future industrial, business or retail growth.
Clement Pappas, working with a packag-
ing company, completed a new facility that
produces plastic bottles. It replaces multiple
daily truckload deliveries of bottles for fill-
ing. Stanzione says, This strengthens
Clement Pappas investment in Cumberland
County and adds 15 jobs.
Plans are underway for marketing the
designated Town Center, in the townships
redevelopment area, to developers.
Maurice River is encouraging local
shopping and business through its
Economic Development Committee with
CDCs assistance. I
News frommore local businesses:
ACE PLUMBING, HEATING &
ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES INC. is a local,
regional and national supplier of plumbing,
heating, electrical, HVAC, water condition-
ing, tools, and supplies.
Sales for 2013 were on track with previous
forecasts. The continued slowdown in con-
struction and new home sales were offset by a
strong repair and remodeling trend. Ace was
able to keep a strong market share of business
due to a diverse product and service offering,
extensive hours of operation, and knowledge-
able staff. The business was also able to pro-
vide product to those affected by recent
storms. Their sales for Generac whole-house
and portable electric generators continues to
be strong as electrical power grids are affect-
ed due to their age and the storms.
A bright spot in 2013 was the addition of
home decor and home accessories to the
Designer showroom. The showroom, which
features the latest innovative products in
plumbing, electrical, lighting and hardware,
now has a vast inventory of quality home
accessory items such as clocks, vases, picture
frames, and mirrors. The showroom also has
many operable product displays including
the new SunPro LED Tanning Unit. This rev-
olutionary product mounts on your shower
wall and allows you to tan while showering.
There are many more products in the show-
room, from everyday fixtures to extravagant
items, like full body dryers, eliminating the
need for bath towels.

Did you know you can have a television
screen located in the mirror or a medicine
cabinet? At Ace, youll also see the largest
display of bath, kitchen, and door hardware
in the region. Their showerhead display,
with over 30 working models, makes choos-
ing a new one easy because you can now see
and feel the spray pattern before you buy it.
On the supply side, the Bradford White
Free Extended Warranty Program will
again be in place for 2014. The program
enables every Bradford White water heater
purchased from any of their branch locations
to include a 10-year tank warranty at no extra
charge; thats an extra four-year warranty free
of charge. The warranty also applies to home-
owners who have the water heaters installed
by a Plumbing Contractor, provided it was
purchased through an Ace location.
You may have noticed Aces new LED dis-
play sign on Delsea Drive. Let them know
about future community events and they will
help promote your event on the sign.
For your convenience, they have the most
extensive hours in the industryopen 7:15 a.m.

discuss the details of your project with a
design professional, Ace is worth a visit.
ANYTIME FITNESS is the worlds largest
24-hour gym and co-ed fitness center. With
locations in both Millville, Vineland, and
Bridgeton, its a great choice for area residents
to take advantage of great amenitiesinclud-
ing the best fitness equipment available, tan-
ning beds and spray-tanning, nationally certi-
fied personal trainers and a state of the art car-
dio theater. Their health clubs have a friendly
and supportive atmosphere. To help get you
started, each new member receives a compli-
mentary orientation with a personal trainer.
Anytime Fitness is owned by Michael
Sharp, who started the business in Millville in
December of 2010 with his father, Frank. At
that time, there was a glaring need for a health
facility that could meet the needs of just about
anyone. With the opening of the Vineland loca-
tion one year later, Anytime Fitness provided
the area with convenient locations to go work
out at any given moment, 365 days a year.
The Bridgeton location just opened in
September of 2013, and the Sharps are about to
open a sport-specific cross training facility next
to the Millville Anytime Fitness in the Spring of
2014. They also have added several newclasses
to their aerobic schedule, such as Fierce 4,
Bokwa, Tabata, Spin Express, and Vinyassa
yoga. They are also adding more equipment to
the Vineland and Millville locations this spring.
The business has experienced remarkable
growth in the short time since its inception,
and the plan is to continue that growth, offer-
ing residents great, conveniently located health
and fitness facilities for generations to come.
APPLIANCES PLUS VIDEO is a retail and
wholesale sales and distribution center of
major appliances and home electronics, spe-
cializing in all brands of major appliances
and flat-panel televisions. The business also
offers professional kitchen appliance design
and custom home theater design. They sim-
plify the complexities of home electronics.
Located at 2155 S. Delsea Drive, Vineland,
the business was founded in October 1983, by
Top Executives Salvatore Venuto and
Richard Curcio. There are 10 full-time
employees, with the youngest member of the
sales staff in his 11th year.
Sales for 2013 were brisk with additional
sales resulting from the storm Sandy. As a
supplier to many builders along the Jersey
shore, they were kept busy. Normal sales
extracting the storm salesincreased by 12
percent over the previous year. Consumer
confidence is on the rise and it has become
evident with the number of customers
remodeling their kitchens. Sales boards at
the center are full, waiting for deliveries in
the first quarter of 2014. The local chain
stores continued to promote appliances in
2013, which further fueled consumer inter-
est. They are unable to offer the selection,
knowledge, and prompt delivery and
Appliances Plus prospered from their
marketing efforts.
With a 14,200-square-foot showroom and
hundreds of models on display, Appliances
Plus Video continues to outperform the tra-
ditional box stores with selection and serv-
ice. They feature brands such as LG,
Samsung, GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, Frigidaire,
and more as well as Sub-Zero, Wolf, Asko,
Miele, Viking, Thermador, Dacor, and
KitchenAid. Appliances are shown in indi-
vidual vignettes to illustrate how they will
look in the average home. The sales staff at
Appliances Plus are well versed in the prod-
ucts as they regularly attend manufacturer
seminars and training sessions.
The outlook for 2014 is extremely posi-
tive, as new construction and an increase in
consumer confidence is being seen.
Appliances Plus is delivering to the shore
just about every weekday. Mortgage interest
rates are still low and credit restrictions are
beginning to ease. There is a lot of pent-up
demand for new appliances and televisions.
They offer 12 months same as cash on most
purchases of $499 and above.
AUTO SOURZE is a preowned automobile
dealer offering selection, quality and best
value. Using the facts, they price cars thou-
sands below the Kelley Blue Book value.
The business was started in 2011 by Chuck
and Millie Simpson. They have grown from
three employees to nine. The family busi-
ness includes Milllies son Joel Rivera (sales)
and Chucks son Charles Simpson (detail).
They have expanded inventory and recently
began franchising their concept and busi-
ness model nationally with a second compa-
ny and store in Orlando, Florida. The out-
look for the used auto market will continue
to increase as consumers realize that buying
new and absorbing the depreciation is a less
attractive option to buying smart pre-owned
at Auto Sourze.

BARRETTA PLUMBING, HEATING AND
COOLING is a mechanical contracting com-
pany that performs service and installation
of plumbing and mechanical systems for resi-
dential and commercial buildings. The com-
pany was founded in 1896 by John C.
Barretta on the 500 block of Landis Avenue
in Vineland. Economically, the United States
was still in a depression brought on by the
Panic of 1893. Vineland, however, was a
growing community at the time.
Barretta Plumbing opened with a hard-
ware store fronting on Landis Avenue, and a
plumbing contracting business in the back of
the property, fronting on Elmer Street. There
were approximately four employees in its
first year, a number that grew to around 20
people by the 1920s. Employment declined
after the depression to very low numbers.
During the 1960s and 1970s the company
began growing in size due to a focus on heat-
ing and air-conditioning services. An employ-
ment high of 30 people was reached in 2007.
After several years of flat revenue and
employment due to the recession and slow
recovery, Barretta Plumbing experienced a
very busy year in 2013. The company expects
more growth in 2014 and plans to hire addi-
tional employees.
Barretta Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling
remains a family business in its fouth genera-
tion. A strong work ethic and commitment to
customer service are qualities that have
made the transition from generation to gen-
eration easier and allowed the business to
survive for 118 years.
CARTRIDGE WORLD OF VINELAND was
opened in April of 2009 by owner Tom
Terranova. They have seen double-digit sales
growth in each year due to their quality and
affordability. Cartridge World provides top-
quality printer cartridges at a savings lower
than OEM, saving their business customers
hundreds, and sometimes thousands of dollars
each year. Cartridge World was established in
1991 providing people who print at home or
office the freedom to choose a more afford-
able alternative to buying overpriced and
wasteful newcartridges. Today, there are more
than 650 stores in North America. They carry
many popular printer cartridges. Just bring
them your empty and leave with a cartridge
ready for use. No empty, no problem: They
can provide you with the cartridge you need.

COLONIAL FLOWERS is a full-service
flower and gift shop. The business was started
in 1974 by Marion Smith. Larry and Debbie
Malone bought Colonial Flowers in
November 2011, when despite the recession,
the business was healthy.
Starting with five people employed, an
additional employee has since been hired.
Other markers of growth include an overall
increase in business of 35 percent. The
Malones have opened up delivery to the
entire Cumberland County area and now
offer free delivery to all funeral homes in

Colonial Flowers started out as a family
business and remained with the Smith family
for 38 years, first with Marion Smith and
then owned by her son Barry Smith. After
Barrys death, the shop returned to Marion
until she sold it to Debbie and Larry Malone.
Following in the tradition of Marion and
Barry, Colonial Flowers continues to operate
as one of the outstanding flower shops in the
southern New Jersey area.
The owners have recently purchased a
point of sales computer system that has
streamlined the taking of orders. They have
also improved their website and have started
a FaceBook page. They recently started using
Pinterest and most recently started a blog.
At the flower shop, they are excited about
the upcoming years and the increase in busi-
ness they have already seen. Colonial
Flowers is now preparing to increase bridal
and event sales by participating in shows
throughout the New Jersey area. The staff
continues to train in order to keep up with
the latest trends in the flower industry.

small classroom environment, a hands-on
curriculum, and a personalized learning plan

nurse, an administrative assistant, and a
school chef and a custodian. Since opening

each year from 2014 to 2016, bringing the
total to about 228 students. As the student
body expands, so will staffing needs. Beyond
the physical size of the school, they will con-
tinue to provide professional development
opportunities for staff as well as offering
workshops for parents and families. Monthly
Service Learning Days provide increasing
interaction with those in the community as
well as teaches students how to help and
serve others. Continued instruction with the
families will help parents grow as partners in
educating their children.
Area families have responded very posi-
tively to enrollment efforts. The parents and
children of Compass Academy have really
enjoyed and appreciated the communication,
the engagement between the school staff and
Compass Academy families, and the overall
positive learning environment created in
their partnership together. A long-term goal
is to become a lighthouse district, where
current and future educators have the oppor-
tunity to experience an educational model of
research-based instructional practices.

CENTER, LLC. is a comprehensive podiatry
office offering the highest quality of compas-

offer clinical care and state-of-the-art treat-
ment options for all types of foot conditions,
emphasizing advanced and complete care to

The business was started in Millville in
2004 by Dr. David Jespersen. He is originally
from Fairton, in the Bridgeton, NJ area. He
returned to the area to start his practice after
completing his residency in podiatric surgery
at the Department of Veterans Affairs
Medical Center in Palo Alto, California. At
that time, staff included the doctor and two
office employees. Now there are two doctors
and three additional staff members.

Dr. Jeffrey Belancio. Originally from
Philadelphia, Dr. Belancio received his
Bachelors in Science in Biology from Temple
University and he received his Doctor of
Podiatric Medicine from the Temple
University School of Podiatric Medicine. He

the Chief Resident of Foot and Ankle Surgery.
Dr. Belancios special clinical interests
include complicated forefoot, rearfoot, and
ankle surgery, wound care, pediatrics, cast-
ings, trauma and general podiatric practice
management. He has extensive training in
procedures such as ankle arthroscopy, exter-
nal and internal fixation, tendon and liga-
ment repairs, bunion and hammertoe correc-
tion. Dr. Belancio is on staff at Inspira Health
Network, Inspira Wound Care Center and
Inpira Life Center and like Dr. Jespersen, he
is accepting new patients at Cumberland
Foot and Ankle Center, LLC.
The Center has converted to a new
Electronic Medical Records system where
patients can have secure internet access
through a Patient Portal to the records from
their visits at our office.
Dr. Jespersen and Dr. Belancio continue
to attend specific training on the latest pro-
cedure and treatment options in podiatric
care. They offer many products in the office
that are podiatrist recommended. If you are

and Dr. Belancio provide personalized treat-
ment for your unique needs.

DENTAL CARE OF VINELAND opened in
1991, when Dr. Frank Pettisani Jr. followed in
the footsteps of his father, who founded
OraCare and practiced dentistry in Vineland
for over 50 years. The practice opened with
just a few employees. With a large addition
to the existing office and the opening of four
additional practices, Dental Care now
employs more than 50 valued employees.
Even with all of this growth and expansion,
Dr. Pettisani Jr. devotes most of his time to
treating and caring for his Vineland patients.
Dr. Pettisani Sr. retired this year and leaves a
legacy of patient care and compassion that
Dr. Pettisani Jr. strives to emulate.
DUKES PLACE is family-owned and oper-
ated, serving homemade food in a comfort-
able Mom-and-Pop restaurant, diner-style.
They opened in November 2012, and the
restaurant had not been in use for some time.
They started out using only family and
friends until June 2013, when they added
three additional employees. They have
expanded into catering off premises for spe-
cial occasions and have expanded daily spe-
cials to include tax in order to help cus-
tomers in this poor economy. Also, they have
replaced the steps with a ramp and have
upgraded the air conditioning system. Future
outlook includes plans to keep expanding the
off-premise catering business.

months in both golf, restaurant customers,
booked private events and weddings.
Francis Galbiati and his family founded
Eastlyn in 1964; today, the family trend con-
tinues as Bob Buono Sr., his son Chef Rob
Buono Jr. and family own and operate the
business. Both Italian families set a family-
friendly atmosphere welcoming customers
who want to enjoy a round of golf or a farm-
to-table freshly prepared meal.
The significant investment made within
the past 18 monthsa new club house,
restaurant and banquet facilityhelps bring
the local community together. Another
attribute is that the business is bringing peo-
ple from outside Cumberland County to the
city of Vineland, allowing them a look at the
great things Vineland has to offer.
The future looks great for this business.
Weddings, class reunions and fundraiser
events have surpassed expectations. The
owners plan on continuing to provide the
ultimate dining experience for anyone who
walks through the doors. The seasonal
menus continue to breathe new life with
food trends, allowing customers the freshest
culinary experience. On the golf side of
things, Golf Pro Michael Zerra plans on a
growing number of golf memberships, les-
sons and youth golf camps.

2013 Review: Continued growth with the
new Custom Cataract surgery. Since
December, Eye Associates cataract patients
enjoy No Drop Custom Cataract Surgery. No
messy, costly drops before or after surgery.
Eye Associates increased their number of
new patients again this year by 22 percent.
They have set up at their SurgiCenter in
Vineland to do Retina surgery, therefore
making it easier for patients not having to
travel outside Vineland for these intricate
surgical procedures.
Dr. Tyson participated in two studies this
year in regards to glaucoma. These studies,
for the next three years, are on devices that
help lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma-
tous eyes in conjunction with cataract sur-
gery. Dr. Tyson was asked to be one of the
few nationally to participate in the study.

and has all new equipment and furnishings.
The newly expanded Optical Shop is much
larger with a greater selection of designer
frames as well as many popular brands.
2014 Outlook: Eye Associates welcomes a
new doctor joining the group in April. Dr.
Stefanie Naumovitz will be taking on new
patients and will work in many locations to
help with the influx of new patients.
Eye Associates has been treating allergic
conjunctivitis for years. But in 2014, they will
be doing allergy testing to find out what you
need to avoid along with the treatments to
take care of these problems.
Eye Associates will continue with their
community services. They will participate in
lectures and health fairs in the community to
promote eye health and safety. They will also
continue to give back to the community with
volunteerism and contributions, as they have
since 1999.

be a steady and productive one in which they
continued to provide award-winning customer
service and to further relationships formed
with customers. Known for strong attention to
detail and willingness to go the extra mile, they
were able to keep their products at afford-
able levels without compromising quality,
even in times of economic uncertainty.
Through the year, they were able to keep
their standard of customer satisfaction high
with the addition of knowledgeable employ-
ees who are well versed in animal nutrition,
new pet products, and landscape supplies.

THE GREATER VINELAND CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE has a goal to work closely
with other organizations, government per-
sonnel and community leaders to develop
strategies that will improve the preparedness
of Vinelands workforce, and enhance the
countys image in order to attract additional
opportunities for economic growth. Most
importantly, they are developing specific
actions to support those strategies.
The Chamber has spearheaded a focused
group of business people to explore areas of
Vineland that have the potential to be devel-
oped in a more collaborative way between
property owners and developers. The goal is
to work together in economic development
so one success builds upon another and cre-
ates a synergy for an entire geographic area.
As a result, it becomes stronger in its market-
ing to attract visitors and other interested
investors, bringing additional economic
activity to all existing businesses. The GVCC
will continue to support the ongoing down-
town revitalization efforts because it believes
a strong city center benefits every business in
the community.
It is not just the business growth that
concerns Chamber members. They also want
to enhance quality of life in the future so
people will want to live and work in this
county. It is their belief that Vineland and
Cumberland County in its entirety has a solid
core and tremendous potentialan excellent
geographical location in the heart of the
Northeast corridor, lots of space to grow, a
nationally recognized county college and
expanding healthcare facilities set for more
growth. It is their hope that the efforts made
today will have long lasting positive impacts
beyond the next few years.
INSPIRA HEALTH NETWORKS FITNESS
CONNECTION opened to the public in 1986
with 18 employees and basic services. It is now
a department of the Inspira Health Network, a
certified Medical Fitness Facility, housing state
of the art equipment, and employing 23 indi-
viduals. It also provides services such as
PREP (Physician Referred Exercise Program)
and PIT (Performance Improvement
Training), which were both developed in
2010, as well as personal training, group exer-
cise classes, active aging classes, nutritional
counseling, massage therapy, and much more.
The Fitness Connections mission is to
provide high-quality health services to their
members through exercise and educational
programs. The investments developing the
educational programs such as PREP and PIT
result in better services for members. These
programs educate and assist the individual in
creating a healthy exercise regimen, which is
then encouraged to transform into a new and
healthy regular lifestyle routine. The Fitness
Connection houses these programs in
alliance with the American College of Sports
Medicines Exercise is Medicine Initiative to
encourage self-care treatment for individuals
of all ages. These individuals can then gradu-
ate from the programs and continue on to a
self-care regimen through a regular gym
membership at a discounted price.
The outlook for the years ahead includes
opportunities to help the community live a
healthy lifestyle through exercise and education.
JERSEY OUTDOOR MEDIA, LLC began in
2008 with Chet and Jesse Atkins. At the time,
there was a very deep recession but also many
opportunities. Starting with three employees,
another has since been added. Other indica-
tions of growth have been an increase of eight
to more than 100 billboard locations; 58 were
sold last year and another 58 locations were
added in 2013. The business started as a fami-
ly business and remains so, with two genera-
tions currently involved. They are in the
process of cleaning up and repairing the 58
billboard faces purchased in Cumberland,
Atlantic and Salem counties. They also plan to
add lights so the advertiser will have more
time to promote their messages. Their website
will be interactive so the advertiser can also
find their location of interest and book it
online. They believe that businesses need to
advertise and will always need to do so. They
want to carefully spend their money and look
at what will offer businesses the best return.
Small businesses are still hurting in certain
sectors but some sectors that were not buying
outdoor ads for the last five years are starting
to put their feet back in.
JOES BUG REPAIR specializes in foreign
cars, including Volkswagen Beetles. Started
in 1978 by owner Joe Castagnoli, the busi-
ness moved in 1980 to 661 East Forest Grove
Road and added towing. In 1981, Joes started
towing for the City of Vineland, and in 1987,
began servicing boats and motorcylces. In
1990, the repair shop built a new service
garage and future plans include expansion of
the towing business.
KURA THAI AND SUSHI recently changed
its name from Kawa Thai and Sushi to better
serve customers. Having two locations with
the same name was confusing for customers
picking up orders. Family-owned and -oper-
ated with eight employeesJingchen
(Cindy) is the ownerKura now offers a back
room for private parties. They have also
added entertainment and karaoke. Outlook
for the future is bright, as they offer a unique
product that the community loves.

Victor, John and Rocco LaTorre. Just three
people were employed at the outset, a num-
ber that has increased to 12 employed today.
Other markers of growth over the years have
included five building expansions, the addi-
tion of a fully computerized POS system, and
a full equipment and tool repair shop.
The business started out as a family busi-
ness and remains so today. They are in their
second generation with some third-genera-
tion family members working part-time.
Victor Jr. became president in 1985.
The business implemented a newinventory
software in 2013 that they hope will improve
re-stocking speed and allow them to better
track customer purchase and repair history.
LaTorre is still a bit skeptical about the
business climate in the area, but they remain
hopeful that some growth will come to the
region. New construction projects and hiring
will certainly benefit the industry, they note.
THE LEVOY THEATRE entered its second
season and continued its mission of offering
diverse programming at affordable prices.
With two full time employees, six part time,
and 100-plus volunteers, the theater in 2013
staged concerts; dance productions; chil-
drens theater; a full Broadway season by the
Levoys Resident Theatre Company, The Off
Broad Street Players; a summer camp; come-
dy acts and more. In December 2013, the
Levoy took the next step in its growth, hiring
a new executive director.
The Levoy plans to continue its commit-
ment to diverse programming at affordable
prices. They will kick off a membership cam-
paign in the spring of 2014, which will allow
customers to get great deals at the theater
and at other local businesses, helping
Millvilles economy to thrive. They will also
generate new educational initiatives to give
youth more opportunities to shine and expe-
rience the magic of live performance.
MAINIERO'S was founded in 1908 by Biagio
Mainiero, originally a barber, during a time
of early growth in the Vineland area. It has
been a family-owned and -operated business
for four generations and this has been an
important part of its success story. Imagine
the changes a 105-year-old business has
experienced. Biagio Mainiero traveled by
horse and buggy to visit his customers when
he first started out and appliances were
deliverd by train direct from the factories to
Mainieros downtown Vineland Store. And
electrical appliances were cutting-edge prod-
ucts back then. Inventories and customer
payments were written on cards or logged in
books. All ordering and correspondence was
by mail or phone. And the downtown area
was the only place to shop in Vineland.
Today, the company employs a dozen peo-
ple. There have been several expansions of the
business, each one adding more products, dis-
play and warehouse space. The present 13,000-
square-foot store showcases hundreds of appli-
ances, TVs and vacuums and stores tens of
thousands of appliance and vacuumparts.
Some things never change no matter how
long a business has been around. Like offer-
ing a mix of products and services that cus-
tomers need. And being accessible, knowl-
edgeable and responsive to any situation that
may occur. When you call Mainieros some-
body will always answer the phone!
An interior makeover occurred last year
and a new website was launched last month,
but the major turning point for Mainieros
came about 50 years ago after moving to 201
Landis Avenue and then soon after expand-
ing that store, quadupling its size. The
Mainiero family has lived, shopped and done
business in the southern New Jersey area for
more than 100 years, and many of their cus-
tomers are second- or third-generation shop-
pers. Like their parents and friends, they
trust and rely on Mainieros to help them
make the right choices when purchasing
appliances, TVs, and vacuums, as well as
parts and service after the sale.
For 2014, Mainieros has expanded both
the parts and clearance departments and will
continue to search out the best values to help
customers choose the best product for them
at the lowest possible prices. And Mainieros
will continue to provide outstanding product
knowledge and personal service. And when
its not possible to visit in person, customers
can always get up to date information on the
website: mainierosappliancesandtv.com.
MATHNASIUM OF WASHINGTON
TOWNSHIP: Mathnasium is an after-school
learning center where students are taught
Number Sensemathematical thinking and
problem-solving skills. Their slogan is We
Make Math Make Sense. The Mathnasium
Method focuses on working with students in
2nd through 12th grades who need help in
improving their understanding of basic math
concepts and improving their school grades.
Parents typically enroll their students for six
to 12 months and the students attend two to
three times per week.
An initial assessment test is given to each
student and then a custom learning plan
with appropriate worksheets is created for
the student. Qualified instructors who love
math and enjoy teaching kids are available at
the center to assist students, giving them the
individual attention they need.
Mathnasium is an international franchise,
with 431 Centers in North America and in 16
other countries. The Washington Township
location is owned and operated by Vineland
residents Bob and Kathie DOrazio, who
bravely opened the Center in September 2010,
at a time when not many new businesses were
getting started. The business has grown from
two employed to the current 11 employees.
Other markers of growth include a stu-
dent enrollment that continues to grow year
to year. Also, they have enrolled students
from all over South JerseyWashington
Township, Williamstown, Sicklerville,
Vineland, Mullica Hill, Hammonton,
Franklinville, Turnersville, Glassboro,
Clayton, Swedesboro, Buena, Bridgeton,
Clarksboro, Deptford, Mantua, Wenonah,
Woodbury, Minotola, and Blackwood.
The franchise owners continue to invest
in training themselves and their instructors
in the Mathnasium Method and Core
Curriculum standards that are being imple-
mented in the school districts that they
serve. With math illiteracy at an all-time
high and college and technical careers
becoming increasingly competitive, parents
want to be able to give their children an
advantage. At Mathnasium, kids are taught
math in the way that makes sense to them.
They are committed to helping children
catch up, keep up, and get ahead in math as
well as providing students with a positive
environment that makes learning math fun.

ness investments. They are your one-stop

real estate company in Cumberland County.
The companys forecast for the coming year is

tial for increased jobs in the county.

Currently, there are four employeesa mas-
sage therapist and three yoga instructors
with their own unique individual styles. As
the demand and client base grows, they will
bring more people onto the team.
Being a young business, they judge
growth day to day instead of in years. That
being said, they are constantly seeing new
massage clients and fresh faces in their yoga
classes on a daily basis.
Lauren ODonnell and boyfriend, Matt
Mufalli have been doing all the logistics for
the business, even down to the house clean-
ing. His family, which has been part of the
Vineland community for decades, has sup-
ported the business and helped renovate
every inch of the studio. After getting to
know the community better over the last few
months, and hearing appreciative feedback,
they really feel at home and hope to be here
for generations to come, helping the commu-
nity achieve its health and wellness goals.
Upon finding a great space in East
Vineland, they installed new floors and
redecorated to establish the necessary
atmosphere to achieve the perfect environ-

ter serve the clientele. They invest in all the
new lines as they arrive, such as
Dreamweaver carpet and rugs. Since the

business and to offer customers all the new
lines as they arrive.
SERENE TOUCH CENTER was started in
2010, quite by chance, by Shirley Burke. In
2006, while dealing with breast cancer,
Burke first learned of Reiki at Gildas Club of
South Jersey in Linwood. Reiki is a hands-on
healing energy. When Gildas Club offered
the Reiki level one course, Burke jumped at
the chance to learn the technique.
Afterwards she joined a monthly Reiki group
and volunteered at a rehabilitation center. In
2010, shortly after completing the third
course at the master level, she learned to
teach others.
Enthusiastic to share the knowledge and
benefits of Reiki, she asked to be part of an
alternative wellness day being planned in the
area. She realized if people were curious to
try this therapy, she should have a practice
where others could experience it.
Last year Burke expanded her business by
becoming a life coach from the Quantum
Success Coaching Academy and also started
teaching meditation classes. Basic meditation
classes are available along with life coaching
and Reiki, and all class schedules can be
viewed online at
www.serenetouchcenter.abmp.com.
TOYOTA SCION OF VINELAND provides
retail/wholesale new and used automobile
sales, service, parts, body shop, and financ-
ing. It was founded in 1991 and now employs
53 people.
The year 2013 was a good one for the
automobile industry as sales of new cars and
trucks continued to improve. Toyota of
Vineland experienced an 8 percent improve-
ment in new vehicle sales trending slightly
ahead of the nation, which improved at a 7.4
percent pace. Camry was again the best-sell-
ing car in America and their bestseller as
well. Another bright spot was the improve-
ment in used vehicle sales as a result of addi-
tional new vehicle trade-ins and lease
returns.The Toyota Certified Department
experienced a 39 percent increase in used
Toyota vehicle sales.
Toyota Care continued to give value to
service and parts customers with complim-
netary maintenacnce for two years or 25,000
miles. The dealership experienced a 40 per-
cent improvement in this area and hired two
additional technicians to help with the
increase in customer demand. The newly
renovated facility continued to receive posi-
tive feedback from sales and service cus-
tomers. Toyota of Vineland is on track to
achieve its 17th Presidents Award.
In 2014, the plan is to expand sales and
management staff by three or four people, in
anticipation of increased sales due to more
effort and the introduction of new Toyota
models for the Tundra, Highlander, Rav4,
and Corolla, plus a refreshed Camry with
technology upgrades and the continued sales
growth of the Prius family of hybrids.
Toyota of Vineland will continue to focus
on being the premier retailer in the market.
They rank #1 in CSI (Customer Satisfaction)
for their zone, comprised of 112 toyota deal-
erships in the New York Region; they rank
#11 for the 1150 dealerships in the country.
The parts and service operations will con-
tinue their growth and award-winning lead-
ership in customer satisfaction.
VINELAND LANDSCAPING LLC is a full-
service design/build and maintenance firm.
It is a broad line landscaping company,
which enables it to meet clients needs,
whether it is for lawn maintenance, land-
scape design, landscape installations or hard-
scaping. The business was started in 2012 by
Michael DOrazio with help from William
Gruccio, Nick Grandi and Karl Anderson. In
2013 William Gruccio became partner in the
company. All are Vineland residents and
Vineland High School graduates. William
Gruccio earned his MBA from Rider
University and Nick Grandi graduated from
Rutgers University with a degree in

lead designer. They also have Andrew Turner
working as an Intern, while finishing his
degree in Business Management at Rowan
University and Paul Coia, a Vineland resi-
dent, as lead Foreman managing day-to-day
operations.
When the company started, the economy
as a whole was in a difficult state.
Competition was high, and differentiation
was necessary to be successful. By combining
individual skill sets, they have been able to
achieve steady growth and have begun build-
ing our reputation by offering superior serv-
ice and high customer satisfaction.
Staff numbers have grown from two to
between seven and 10. Though a young com-
pany, they have steadily increased their cus-
tomer base for both commercial and residen-
tial maintenance, as well as for landscape
design/installs.
They plan on making heavy investments
this upcoming season, not only financially
but investments of time to further their certi-
fications and licenses. They currently hold a
NJ Fertilization license, NJ Home
Improvement Contractors license and NJ
Public Works license. They also plan on mak-
ing significant investments in equipment to
increase efficiency, as well as to expand the
workforce and offerings to clients.
With strong competition in the industry,
they plan to continue to put customers first
and offer a wide variety of financially viable
options and services. They custom tailor
their services to customers needs and offer a
great deal of experience throughout all
aspects of the business, from operations to
design. They feel this sets them apart from
many of their competitors. They take pride
in their town, hence the companys name.
They feel that by satisfying the customers
and pushing themselves to grow in an effec-
tive manner, they will continue to achieve
success and make Vineland more beautiful. I

Celebration
of History
The Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society plans
a year of celebrating its 150 years of extistence.
I
n preparation for its sesquicentennial
year, the Vineland Historical and
Antiquarian Society (VHAS) has
spent the month of January readying
for the monthly events that will celebrate
both its history and Vinelands. The next 11
months promise to bring to life the towns
heritage and illustrate its links to the pres-
ent day.
The proceedings will commence with a
look at African-American and womens his-
tory. Vinelands early years were committed
to the progressive movements that champi-
oned the rights of blacks and females. Such
distinguished guests as Frederick Douglass
and Susan B. Anthony appeared at the
towns Cosmopolitan Hall. Portia Gage and
others cast votes in elections in town as a
statement to womens suffrage. On
February 12, the VHAS will present
Professor Timothy Stack from Salem
Community College, who will discuss the
African-American population of southern
New Jersey. As we know, there were a
number of Underground Railroad stops in
South Jersey, Martinelli said, and
Professor Stack has done respected
research in this area.
The VHAS curator explained that the
March event will take a different approach
when it comes to looking at womens histo-
ry. Our board member Nancy Steelman
and one of our volunteers, Rev. Joan Hand,
are going to do a presentation, Martinelli
explained. Nancy portrays Mary Tillotson,
who was an early feminist, and Joan does
[town founder Charles K. Landiss sister]
Matilda Landis. Were hoping to give folks
not only some perspective on the suffrage
movement and how it relates to Vineland,
but also what daily life was for a woman in
Vineland in the 19th century. We think it
should be a lot of fun.
In April, the VHAS will launch a pho-
tography contest open to all Vineland resi-
dents. According to Martinelli, the contest
will be an opportunity to provide future
generations a look at current Vineland. The
theme will focus on scenes of 21st century
life in Vineland. You can choose some-
thing historic, like a scene of a church or a
cemetery or a park, but also you can do
your family, your house, she explained.
We want to not only get people out and
just looking at the community, but this is
going to be a great way for us to acquire a
21st century photographic record of what
life is in Vineland. There will be categories
for both children and adults and a recep-
tion for contest winners will be held at the
museum in May, during which prizes will
be awarded.
Throughout June, July and August, resi-
dents will be able to partake of Historic
Trolley Tours of Vineland on First
Saturdays and kids can indulge in crafts at
the museum on Second Saturdays.
Martinelli said the trolley run will consist
of about an hours tour through town, out
to Oakhill Cemetery and back again.
There will be stops along the way at signifi-
cant sites.
Also in August, Mark Demitroff will give
a presentation on the history of the Pine
Barrens. People dont realize that Vineland
was the western end of the Pine Barrens,
Martinelli stated. The Pine Barrens pretty
much covered all of South Jersey at one
point.
The Societys September presentation
will be on the Holocaust. The topic,
Martinelli explained, was suggested by for-
mer board member Lois Genovese. It was
her thought that this was something we
hadnt done here at the museum before and
that this would be a good opportunity for
us to incorporate some Jewish history
In October, Civic Club Day will be held.
There will be an Open House for represen-
tatives of local civic/social organizations.
From the very early days of settlement,
Vineland had all these wonderful soci-
eties, Martinelli said. you had all these
groups that really made a difference in how
the town grew. So we just want to pay our
respects and thank them for being a part of
Vineland and understanding their history
more.
An early institution of Vineland, the
Memorial Home has served veterans who
served as early as the Civil War. The
November event will consist of filming
interviews with veterans at the Memorial
Home for an oral history project.
The year-long celebration will conclude
on December 6 with an Anniversary Gala at
Eastlyn Country Club. Tickets for this
semi-formal affair will go on sale in April.I

est ways to say I love you.

or savory toppings, using as little or as
much as desired. Bake 6 to 7 minutes or
until crackers are lightly browned. Remove
crackers from cookie sheet, cool 5 minutes.

container for up to 3 days.
Heart-Shaped Pizza

sheet with parchment paper. Roll the pizza
dough into a circle and put onto the baking
sheet. Re-shape the dough into a heart.
Brush the dough with olive oil. Spread toma-
to sauce on dough. Sprinkle the shredded
cheese on top of tomato sauce. If desired add
your favorite toppings. Put the heart shaped
pizza into the oven and bake for 15 - 20 min-
utes, or until the cheese is melted. Note: Feel
free to sprinkle dried oregano, fresh basil,
or grated Parmesan on pizza before baking.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23
Maurice River Music Salon
Concert: Classically Black. A resi-
dence in the Mauricetown, NJ area.
2:30 p.m. Renowned pianist Richard
Alston will present a program of
music by European and American
composers of African descent.
Seating is very limited, so reserva-
tions are required. Donations to
assist in covering expenses will be
accepted. To reserve seats, receive
directions, or receive more informa-
tion on the series, call 856-506-0580
visit www.mauricerivermusic.com.
The program will include extraor-
dinary music by Scott Joplin,
Margaret Bonds, William Grant Still,
George Wright, Chevalier De Saint
Georges, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor,
and others. Alston was a musical
advisor and consultant to the PBS
television documentary Classically
Black, which contained much of this
same music and was a guest artist with the New Jersey Symphony commemorat-
ing the birth of William Grant Still.
Alston, making his second Maurice River Music salon concert appearance, has
performed this program throughout the country to critical acclaim. He sees the
concert as a labor of love and a tribute to the contributions people of color have
made to the classical music genre throughout history. This contribution, he said, is
long and the musical tradition is permeated with their history and culture.
Composers of African descent go all the way back to Mozart, Alston said.
Throughout history, they had to endure setbacks and roadblocks. The essence of
music was buried so deep in their souls that, despite prejudice, they did not stop
creating music. When one has something burning inside oneself and a passion so
strong, you continue regardless.
He attributes his love of works by American and European composers of African
descent to his grandmother, Daisy Johnson. She sang and played their works while
caring from him while he was an infant to her death when he was five. Johnson and
his later music teachers, Dorothy Earley and Sylvia Rabinof helped form and refine
his love of music and performing.
After earning his bachelors degree from the Juilliard School of Music in New
York City, Alston was awarded the Maria Guerra Judelson Scholarship in piano. He
then returned to Juilliard and later received his masters degree there.
Alston has since appeared in recitals and has performed as soloist with orches-
tras throughout the United States and Europe. A standing ovation following his per-
formance, at age 15, of Tchaikovskys Piano Concerto No. 1 at the Brevard Festival,
led to his New York debut two years later performing the same work with the
Symphony of the New World conducted by Everett Lee at Lincoln Centers Avery
Fisher Hall. As a winner of the Aldredge Piano Competition, he performed in a con-
cert with the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra conducted by Verujan Kojian that
was broadcast over National Public Radio.
He has also performed at Weill Recital Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York, and
portrayed Jasbo Brown in the Metropolitan Operas revival of George Gershwins
Porgy and Bess in 1990 and in the New Jersey State Operas production in 2010.
He recently performed Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue with Ensemble du Monde at
Merkin Concert Hall in New York City.
At the personal request of music educator and composer Denes Agay, Alston
recorded an album of the composers works for the Educo label. A set of piano
works by African-American composers that Alston also recorded for that label
became the source for his Classically Black lecture series. His recording of music
by Anton Arensky, with Paul Freeman conducting the Czech Philharmonic, is avail-
able on Centaur Records.
Alston is Coordinator of the Essex County Colleges Music Department, is
Minister of Music at Trinity United Presbyterian Church in Montclair, NJ, and is
founder of the Crossroads Music Academy. Among his awards and honors have
been recognition by the National Association of Negro Women; Newark, NJ Chapter
of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc.; New Jersey Education
Association; and the New Jersey Unit of the National Association of Negro Business
and Womens Clubs, Inc.

Free Music Lecture. Vineland Public
Library, 1058 E. Landis Ave., Vineland.
67:30 p.m. Bay Atlantic Symphony hosts.
Learn about various forms of singing in
the home and the concert hallranging
from field hollers, native folk songs, ama-
teur choral music, and political propagan-
da songs to lieder, concert arias, art
songs, and oratorio.
The first night in Woodstock, I
bumped into John Sebastian at the restau-
rant where we were eating, and it seemed
obvious to have John come in and put on
some harmonica, said Bromberg. At one
point, [Nitty Gritty Dirt Bands] John
McEuen walked into the studio. I asked
him if he brought his banjo and he said,
Yeah, its in the car, and we sat him down
and made him play on a track.
Brombergs singing on the album is
something of which he seems especially
proud. Ill tell you something interesting
about this CD, he said. I used to work
really hard to sing. Vocals used to be the
hardest thing for me, but Ive learned a lot
about singing, and the vocals [for Only
Slightly Mad] were the easiest part. I
never needed a whole lot of takes to get
the vocals. These days, singing is a physi-
cal pleasure for me.
But Bromberg originally had a different
direction in mind when planning the CD.
I asked Larry if he would produce an
album of Chicago-style blues for me, he
explained. He said hed love to produce
an album, but he wanted to do an old-
fashioned David Bromberg album with
everything in it but the kitchen sink. Up
until then, I didnt know hed listened to
those records. It turns out he listened to
them, hed come to my concerts, he liked
all that stuff. Theres nobody better suited
to produce one of my records than Larry
Campbell because he understands all of
the genres of music I love. He understands
the mix.
That mix is evident in Brombergs live
performances, which seamlessly move
from blues to ballads to bluegrass. Some
might label it Americana, but the singer-
guitarist was playing this blend well
before that term was applied as a musical
genre. And he was playing them in a much
more demanding road schedule than he
currently maintains.
I dont do long runs anymore,
Bromberg said. The last time I did a real-
ly long run, I stopped playing for 22 years.
So I dont do long runs. If Ive got to travel
a long distance, then I might spend a week
or maybe more. If I go to Europe or
Australia or Hawaii I might be gone close
to a month. But I find it better [not to be
away that long] because I just dont want
to get anywhere close to where I was
when I gave up playing for so long.
Hindsight has allowed Bromberg to
better diagnose what led him to such an
extended hiatus. It was overwork, he
explained, and I was just too dumb to
realize it was burnout because I didnt
think I could ever be burnt out. So I con-
cluded I wasnt a musician, which was
pretty stupid, but there you have it.
Brombergs return to both stage and
studio occurred after he and his family had
relocated in 2002 from Chicago to
Wilmington, Delaware, where he estab-
lished his violin shop. In an attempt to
rekindle the Market Street music scene
that had once flourished, Bromberg organ-
ized jam sessions at a local restaurant and
joined in. I started really enjoying play-
ing, he said. So then, lets see if I can go
out on the road. It was a little daunting at
first, but I feel right at home again.
Only Slightly Mad was just one release
to feature Brombergs playing over the
past year. He also can be heard on Bob
Dylans Another Self Portrait, a two-CD set
of largely outtakes and stripped-down
mixes of the singer-songwriters New York
City sessions for his 1970 album Self
Portrait. Bromberg admits he was sur-
prised by Sonys decision to release the
material but likes the collection. Yeah,
they asked me some questions, he
explained, so I kind of helped with it a
little bit. They asked me who played gui-
tar on certain tracks.
At the time of its release, Self Portrait
was considerably maligned by the press
and fans alike for its reliance on cover
songs and its elaborate use of horns,
strings and background vocalists. How did
Bromberg view the album upon its release?
It was something I played on, he said,
so I didnt have anything like anybody
elses perspective. But did I enjoy it? Yeah.
Stripped of the overdubs that were
added to the 1970 release, Another Self
Portrait reveals how sublime the
unadorned New York City recordings of
the cover and traditional songs actually
are. Bromberg recalls that these renditions
were all I knew of it until the record
came out and says he was surprised
when he first heard the overdubs. When
its pointed out that the unembellished
tracks could have been released 44 years
ago instead of the more ornate versions,
he pauses momentarily. Yeah, maybe, he
replies. I dont know, you cant go back
there and be sure.
Looking ahead, Bromberg wasnt able
to give a hint at what his fans can expect
at the Levoy Theater next week. I never
plan my sets, so I dont know what well
play, he confided. But I think theyll
hear something good. I

Doulis Crowned Miss Vineland
Smiling broadly and at ease on the stage
of her "home" school auditorium, Angela
Doulis, a 17-year-old junior, won the Miss
Vineland crown on a recent Sunday night
before a modest but appreciative crowd.
All three of the top finishers in the field of
nine contestants, plus the Miss Congeniality
title, are VHS students. All four are juniors.
First-runner up was Ariana
Panagiotopoulos, also 17. Second runner-up
was Kerensa Loadholt, 16. Aubrey Gallagher,
also 16, was Miss Congeniality.
The pageant was sponsored for the fourth
year by Friends of Historic Vineland, with
Kevin Kirchner serving as coordinator. A
panel of seven judges assessed the young
women on a 150-word essay, stage pres-
ence, posture, poise in casual and formal
wear, and their answer to a question posed by Laura Huffman, Miss Vineland 2011.
For the first time, there was also a talent segment, which featured vocals, dance,
two flute solos and even a poetry reading.
But Doulis' impressive vocal rendition of "Think of Me" from the "Phantom of the
Opera" was clearly a crowd favorite. Coupled with her self-assured answer about
community service and dedication to her family's heritage, her name was often
heard over the din when Huffman invited the crowd to shout out their personal
choice of the winner.
As the new Miss Vineland, Doulis, the daughter of Cynthia and Peter Doulis, will
attend city social functions for the next 12 months.
"We're looking for someone to honor Vineland," pageant coordinator Kevin
Kirchner said. "Somebody the youth can look up to."
Doulis accepts the challenge.
"I feel amazing winning Miss Vineland," she said. "I feel like I wanted to be a role
model for others, like my ancestors of Vineland were role models for me, so I want-
ed to follow in their footsteps and make them proud and help out community serv-
ice-wise and volunteerism.
In addition to her tiara and sash, Doulis will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship,
$500 in cash, gift cards and jewelry. The reigning Miss Vineland, Olivia Cruz, was
an active participant in the pageant. In addition to serving as co-host with
Huffman, Cruz described the "endless opportunities" the title afforded, including
60 appearances across South Jersey, attending the 2013 Miss America Pageant
and showing off the footwear she created during the event's "Shoe Parade" and
even co-hosting a radio show.
The Miss Vineland Pageant has also started a "Wall of Fame" in City Hall for
portraits of former winners. Cruz presented the first portrait to Mayor Ruben
Bermudez during the show.
The two runners-up, Panagiotopoulos, 17, and second runner-up Kerensa
Loadholt, 16, also won cash prizes. Panagiotopoulos is the daughter of Vanessa and
Dimitris Panagiotopoulos. Loadholt's parents are Mary and Kenneth Loadholt.
At VHS, Doulis is involved in Hellenic Pride Dancers, Select Choir, National
Honor Society, and Cross Country, among others. She plans to attend an Ivy league
University, and pursue a career in theater, communications-broadcasting or sociol-
ogy. Panagiotopoulos participates in Dance, Swim, German Club, Literature Club
and Interact Club. She plans to attend Montclair or Rowan University and pursue a
career in elementary/special education. Loadholt is involved in Girl Scouts, Mock
Trial, Youth to Youth, Marching Band, Crew, National Honor Society, Academic
Athletic League, and Blues and Rock Concert Ensemble. She plans to attend New
York University and pursue a career in forensic anthropology. Gallagher is a VHS
cheerleader and plans to own her own salon upon graduation.
The other contestants were Danniesha Patterson; Jennifer Negron; Jenna K.
Garrett; Adrianna Alfe and Carla Patterson.
The evening included dance interludes by Dixon's Dance Academy, as well as
vocal performances by Ashley Birmingham and Cruz. Members of the VHS Air
Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) served as escorts for the
contestants during the formal wear portion of the competition.
The program was recorded by VPS TV and will air tonight on Comcast Channel
9 and Verizon FIOS Channel 41 at 7 p.m. The program will also be available on the
district Youtube Channel at that time. DVD copies are available for $10. For details
call Gia Messore at 856 794-6700 Ext. 2103.

the departing Miss Vineland, Olivia Cruz.
