S
ix baseball diamonds here could turn out to be

real gems for the City of Vineland. The 150-year-
old town, known as a farming community, has
seen its fortune in grapes and eggs. Now, it just might be
on the cusp of a new era, with baseball and other sports
being Vinelands ticket out of the economic doldrums.
The principals of Perfect Game, representatives of the
City of Vineland and principals of Sora NE Development,
developers of the proposed Americas Sports Resort
(ASR) met last week before announcing a 2014 schedule
of baseball tournaments to be held in Vineland.
Collection To Aid the Philippines in Aftermath of Typhoon
Typhoon Haiyan tore a path of destruction over 100 miles wide through the central Philippines after making land-
fall early in the morning on November 8. It brought torrential rain, winds of over 170 mph and a storm surge of up to
25 feet that devastated coastal areas. More than 14 million people were affected, including five million who have seen
their homes damaged or destroyed.
Vinelander OD Chase attended school in the Philippines and has heard from friends in need there, where the death
toll is still rising and many towns are were totally wiped out. Chase and son Jonathan have already collected and sent
materials there, but are asking the community to help them do more. They have placed a collection box at the YMCA
of Vineland for people to donate new or gently used shoes and clothing, as well as soccer balls and basketballs.
The Rotary Club of Vineland has donated a dozen bikes from its Pedal for Progress program that will be used for
vital transportation.
They will be collecting items until May 15. For more information about specific needs and donations, contact
Chases business, Sir Speedy, at 691-0741.

A
fter a seemingly endless winter of snow
and cold, southern New Jersey has thawed
out. The days are longer and the sun's
warmth is getting stronger. At this time of year,
thousands of Cumberland County parents must
again determine their children's summer plans.
Because snow repeatedly closed schools, mul-
tiple districts have extended their June calendars
to comply with the state's 180-day requirement.
Some camps have delayed their opening weeks.
Turn to page 11 for a rundown of summer pro-
grams in the region.

hether or not Giovanni
Francesco Secchi de
Casali played as signifi-
cant a role in Vinelands
early days as chronicler Carlo Quairoli
claims may never be determined, but the
fact that he did promote the town during
its second decade is undeniable.
De Casali was born in Piacenza, Italy
in 1818. The Nation described him as
belonging to a good family but before
he turned 17, he joined a dissident group
of students conspiring against the Italian
government. As a consequence, he was
forced to leave his native country and
travel abroad. Once he arrived in New
York in 1843, it took him five years to dis-
cover his journalistic calling.
In 1848, he established LEco dItalia or
Echoes of Italy, an Italian newspaper for
immigrants in the New York area.
According to The Nation, it became very
influential among Italians. The
Encyclopedia of New York reports that
the newspaper favored Italian unifica-
tion and for many years was a chronicle
for Italian-American news. Although later
replaced in popularity by Il Progresso
Italo-Americano, it was published inter-
mittently until 1896.
Vineland founder Charles K. Landis
chose to advertise his town in de Casalis
publication and by 1873, at the height of
the newspapers popularity, information
about Vineland could be found in its
pages. In one article, de Casali wrote that
it was his intention to have Italians settle
in the pleasant and healthful area found-
ed by Landis. By 1875, the year after
Landis traveled to Europe to recruit new
settlers, the paper announced that 250 of
our hard-working and industrious compa-
triots bought land there which they allo-
cated to fruit-growing and truck-garden-
ing, in addition to raising grains. Most of
them have built homes there with the
intention of settling there.
An issue of the Vineland Historical
Magazine contains a translation of an
article from the March 6, 1875 edition of
LEco dItalia that included a letter from
G.B. Barretta, a former Brooklyn teacher
who relocated to Vineland to devote
himself to farming the fields. In his let-
ter, Barretta writes that he was the first
Italian who settled in Vineland, even
when this place was only an uncultivated
and almost forbidding heath.
Barrettas testimony demonstrated that
within five years he had a successful
farm, which he sold to another resident
for $6,000, a net profit of about fifty per-
cent, which helped him procure a Landis
Avenue tract on which he built a home
where he planned to spend the rest of
my days.
Its easy to see how the letter served to
promote the town, but it also offers a his-
torical context for why Italians would
migrate to Vineland. Barretta points out
that the climate of Vineland is similar to
that in the central part of Italy and that
the spring here comes earlier than the
spring in any other central region of the
United States. The ground, he writes, is
easy to work and crops grow in abundance.
The agricultural advantages also provided
an alternative to the oppressive and dan-
gerous conditions in mines or in other
manual labor and families could buy five,
ten or twenty acres of land in Vineland and
[pay] on easy payment plans.
But Landis seemed to have been less
than pleased with the results of LEco
dItalia promotion of his town. Lawrence
DiStasi, in his article Secchi De Casale
(sic) and Italians of Vineland, refers to
an entry in Landis journal dated August
8, 1878 in which the founder discusses
the editors arrival in Vineland to select a
town lot as payment for recent advertise-
ments that had not done one particle of
good. Landis saw de Casalis politics as
the reason for the disappointing results,
concluding that such was the prejudice
of Italians against him that he did nothing
and it stopped the movement [of Italian
immigrants to Vineland].
Although he probably would agree
with The New York Encyclopedia in calling
de Casali a revolutionary in exile,
Landis did not let that interfere with
friendship. DiStasi points out that the
founder spent time with the editor in
Vineland, calling him a real friend to the
Italians here, and to Vineland. And he
visited the de Casali family at their
Elizabeth home throughout the next
seven years until the editors death in
June 1885. I

CEO Group Names Magazzu Executive Director
The CEO Group has named former Freeholder Director
Lou Magazzu as its Executive Director, succeeding Francis
J. Reilly, who recently passed away. The CEO Executive
Director is responsible for establishing and executing
major goals and policies established by the CEO Board of
Directors in addition to being responsible for the day-to-
day operations of the organization.
CEO President Debbie Wallace said, Lou Magazzu is
an attorney and businessman and an accomplished
leader. Over his long tenure of service as City Solicitor for
Vineland, a Cumberland County Freeholder, as the first
Chairman of the Cumberland County Empowerment
Zone, and as a past President of the New Jersey
Association of Counties, Lou has demonstrated the leadership and talent needed to
succeed Fran Reilly and continue Frans vision for the CEO Group into the future.
The CEO Group is an organization of nearly 50 major local private sector
employers representing over twenty thousand employees. Its purpose is to propose,
promote and support efforts to create opportunities, both public and private, to
enhance the quality of life throughout the South Jersey region by way of communi-
cation, education and civic endeavor.
Magazzu noted that, Fran Reilly was one of my very best and closest friends. I
hope to build upon the legacy he and the CEO Group has created. I am looking for-
ward to this new responsibility.
Magazzu will continue to maintain a law office for the general practice of law in
Buena and also an energy consulting business in Berlin Township New Jersey.

News in Brief
I
Eligible Seniors Reimbursed
for Property Tax Increases
Cumberland County freeholders want
seniors to know more about programs that
could reduce or eliminate increases in their
property tax.
The Property Tax Reimbursement
Program (also known as the Senior
Property Tax Freeze) reimburses eligible
senior citizens and disabled persons for
property tax increases. The amount of the
reimbursement is the difference between
the amount of property taxes that were
due and paid for the base year (the first
year that all eligibility requirements were
met) and the amount due and paid for the
current year for which reimbursement is
being applied, provided the amount paid
for the current year was greater.
Applicants must meet all of the eligibility
requirements for the base year, and for each
succeeding year, up to and including the
current year to qualify for the reimbursement.
Residents who receive a Homestead
Benefit and/or property tax credits or
deductions may also receive the property tax
reimbursement if they meet the eligibility
requirements. Eligible applicants must be age
65 or older or receive Federal Social Security
disability benefits, have lived in NewJersey
continuously for at least 10 years, as either a
homeowner or renter, and have owned and
lived in your home (or have leased a site in a
mobile home park on which you have placed
a manufactured or mobile home that you
own) for at least the last three years.
Another program, the Annual Property
Tax Deduction for Senior Citizens, Disabled
Persons and Veterans provides an annual
deduction of up to $250 fromproperty
taxes for people who meet the following
criteria: homeowners age 65 or older, the
disabled who meet certain income and resi-
dency requirements or qualified veterans.
Finally, homeowners and tenants who
pay property taxes, either directly or
through rent, on their principal place of
residence in New Jersey may qualify for
the New Jersey Property Tax Deduction/
Credit either a deduction or a refund-
able credit on their New Jersey resident
income tax return. Homeowners and ten-
ants may be eligible for a deduction or
credit even if they are not eligible for a
Homestead Benefit. Homeowners who file
only the Homestead Benefit application
will automatically receive their property
tax credit with their Homestead benefit.
We knowall of this information can be
overwhelming sometimes, said Freeholder
Carol Musso, liaison to the Cumberland
County Office on Aging &Disabled. But we
have experts in place to make this as simple
as possible for our seniors and to make sure
they get the benefits they deserve.
Seniors are urged to contact the
Cumberland County Office on Aging &
Disabled at 856-459-3090 for details.about
eligibility and completing the applications.
All property tax relief program informa-
tion is based on current law and is subject
to change. I

St. Josephs Celebration
a Great Success
The St. Josephs dinner, sponsored by
the Italian Cultural Foundation was held
on March 29, at Rosary Hall in East
Vineland. More than 275 persons attend-
ed this sold out event; attendees came
from as far as Philadelphia.
The actual dinner celebration opened
with a brief history of the St. Joseph din-
ner given by Sr. Dorothy of the
Franciscan Order and the actual blessing
of the bread, food and attendees by
Father John Tumosa.
As individuals entered Rosary hall, all
eyes turned to the magnificent seven-tier
altar display of St. Josephs bread, fig-
stuffed cookies (cuccidati), and biscotti
baked and artistically designed by the
hands of Joseph Boccone. It was not
long after the night began, that all of
these specialties were sold out.
This traditional event was made pos-
sible by the dedication and time volun-
teered by the members of the Italian
Cultural Foundation, founded by the
Sicilian American Club of South Jersey.
The dinner included an assortment of
traditional Sicilian fare that included
pasta con sarde, anelletti al forno, sarde a
beccafico, salmon, fava beans, tripe. The
dinner was culinary perfection and
exemplified the love and devotion that
many members have for St. Joseph.
A special thank you to all who attend-
ed as the proceeds will be donated to
assist those in need. Let us continue to
keep these traditions alive. If anyone
would like to join the Italian Cultural
Foundation, all are welcome. Contact
Robert Odorizzi, treasurer, at 856-691-
4932 or Vincent Marolda, president, at
856-453-1989. The Foundations e-mail is
icfsj@yahoo.com.

m really getting excited because
Main Street Vinelands busy sea-
son of outdoor events is fast
approaching and plans are in full
swing. The first big event is coming up
real soon and youre going to love it. Our
third annual Cinco de Mayo Multicultural
Celebration will be coming your way on
Saturday, May 3. For five hours, from 4 to
9 p.m., the 600 block of Landis Avenue
will really be kicking with fun, music, and
food for the entire family. Though its
called a Cinco de Mayo celebration, itll
actually be a celebration of a variety of
cultureso come one, come all! If it rains,
well have it a week later, on May 10.
Susquehanna Bank, Main Pharmacy,
Tortilleria El Paisano, and La Brava Radio
have partnered with us as major sponsors
for this event and I want to thank them
for their support.
Youre going to enjoy the best of many
different cultures, including Mexican
food, music, and folk dancing, multicultur-
al cuisine, arts and crafts, educational
exhibits, a horse parade, giveaways, and
many free activities for the kidsinclud-
ing face painting, a moon bounce, and
piatas. The Vineland Fire Department
and Police Department will also be on
hand to do demonstrations.
A celebration like this wouldnt be a
celebration without some great live music
and well have four bands for youthe
Willy Sutton Band performing Motown
classics and classic rock, Kolmiyo per-
forming regional Mexican music,
Mariachi Angeles performing traditional
Mexican mariachi music, and Adelante
performing smooth jazz.
Im really proud of this event. Jose
Martinez, of Las Lomas Fresh Mexican
Grille, first organized this event two years
ago as a Landis MarketPlace event. The
first year, it was primarily in the markets
rear parking lot. The next year, it expand-
ed to the sidewalk in front of the market,
up and down the block. This year, its
grown into a Main Street Vineland event
on the street and the sidewalkand has
expanded into a celebration of many cul-
tures. Jose has been involved all along in
the planning of the event.
This is also the model of what we want
our events to bea merchant spearheads
the event and Main Street Vineland lends
it support.
So, come out and have a great time. Itll
be a rousing start to a busy season of out-
door events and projects. More on that
will come later.
***
I want to give you another reminder
that well have some action going on
downtown before the festival on May 3

CUMBERLAND CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
Few places maintain the same prices, but
the Cumberland Christian School (CCS) has
upheld its summer activity programs price
for eight years. CCS will again run its nine-
week Summer Safari Program for children
entering kindergarten through grade 6.
Elementary Principal Elaine Hannan
claims CCS has a Protestant Evangelical per-
spective. There is a morning devotional and
singing time and prayers before eating.
Campers will enjoy swimming at a life-
guarded pool and playing sports games. CCS
teachers supervise computer time. Campers
also enjoy a weekly visit from the ice cream
truck. Other activities include Bible stories,
music, arts and crafts, cooking, science,
movies and strategy games. All activities are
co-ed, but the children are often divided by
age groupings.
CCS accepts up to 48 campers, averaging
20 to 35 a week. Lunch includes everything
but a sandwich, which campers should bring.
Morning and afternoon snacks are provided.
Hannan says campers often enjoy healthy
fruit and vegetable snacks. They may also
treat them to chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Summer Safaris location across from
Vinelands medical buildings is convenient
for working parents since transportation is
not provided, states Hannan.
The camp day runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.,
but campers may arrive at 7 a.m. and stay
until 5:30 p.m. Campers spend the entire
summer, specific weeks of number of days.
Hannan states, Options include nine-
week full-day schedules, individual weeks or
per diem attendance. We offer a great incen-
tive. Parents who pay in full for eight weeks
by June 20 will receive the ninth week free.
That accounts for two-thirds of our campers.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY COLLEGE
SUMMER ACADEMY FOR KIDS
The Cumberland County College Summer
Academy for Kids (SAFK), located at the
campus Fine and Performing Arts Center, is
celebrating its 11th year. The 10-week calen-
dar will run from June 23 through August 29.
Regular programming, following the first
week pre camp, begins the week of June 30.
Campers from five to 16 split into four age
groups for daily sessions. Throughout the
summer, SAFK will service 250 to 300
campers. Morning courses are 9 a.m. to
noon. After a one-hour lunch and physical
activity break, afternoon sessions run from 1
p.m. to 4 p.m.
Abundant weekly activities include:
STEM classes, sports and other athletic
workouts, cooking, technology, theater, arts
& crafts, science and many others. Sessions
are age-appropriate. While some age groups
travel to specific locations, children under
eight always remain on campus.
New this year, instructed by Chef Jeff, are
cooking and baking classes at Moris
Restaurant in Vineland. Space is limited;
campers will either cook all day or split their
day between cooking and educational ses-
sions.
Each week, campers choose from several
morning and/or afternoon classes. Executive
Director Workforce & Community Education
Vicki Simek says, Transportation or com-
puter room limitations often determines
class size. Most of our teachers and support
staff are New Jersey certified. Their training
in curriculum development and classroom
management helps them provide an enjoy-
able experience to campers.
For 2014, SAFK will use Shutterfly to
inform parents about activities, forms and
photos. An email invitation accompanies the
registration, which may be completed online.

WOODLAND COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL
was founded as St. Johns Day School in
1959 by a group of parents who wanted a
strong preparatory school for their chil-
dren. First located in the parish house of
St. Johns Episcopal Church, the school
grew so quickly that in 1961 the Board of
Trustees purchased the historic Wood
Mansion in Jericho as the new home for
the school. In 1977 the name of the school
changed to reflect the non-denomination-
al status of the school.
Woodland has been at the forefront of
elementary education in southern New
Jersey. Individualized instruction, a chal-
lenging curriculum, a strong arts program
and a safe environment are hallmarks of a
Woodland education. Their accelerated
program is taught by teachers who inspire
learning and encourage children to devel-
op self-esteem and responsibility.
Woodland was the first independent, ele-
mentary school in South Jersey to be
accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Schools in

tionally earned the support from nearly
every state governor across the country.
The national "Call Before You Dig"
number, 8-1-1, is a free hotline created to
help protect people from unintentionally
hitting underground utility lines while
working on excavation projects. People
digging often make risky assumptions
about whether or not they should get their
utility lines marked due to concerns about
project delays, costs and previous calls
about other projects. These assumptions
could be life-threatening.
As April traditionally starts the digging
season, we take the opportunity to remind
homeowners and companies alike that its
the law to call 811 before they begin any
digging projects, said Jeffrey E. DuBois,
president of South Jersey Gas.
Every digging job requires this free call
for a mark outeven small projects like
planting trees or shrubs. If you hit an
underground utility line while digging,
you can harm yourself or those around
you, disrupt service to an entire neighbor-
hood and potentially be responsible for
fines and repair costs.

ground utility safety and safe digging
practices, please visit www.southjersey-

Is a killer hiding right
under your nose?
Each year more than 40,000 people are diagnosed
with oral cancer and many are late stage cancers,
reducing the chance of survival. But there is good news. With a simple
three-minute screening, your doctor or dentist can find precancerous
tissues early when they are most curable.
Everyone should be screened annually. Smokers are at high risk, but stud-
ies show that HPV16, a sexually transmitted virus, is the leading cause
of oral cancer in the US. That means young, healthy, non-smokers are at
risk, too. Please join us for a free screening.

If we put on the right show,
Vinelands Director of Recreation Dale
Elbeuf said, they are out to make this
their east coast spot. He says Vineland
was chosen because of its baseball fields
and that the varsity diamond at Vineland
High will be used for the finals, because of
its stadium atmosphere.
By the end of the year, we are all
going to love baseball, said Dawn Hunter,
executive director of The Greater
Vineland Chamber of Commerce, before a
gathering of Vineland business owners
last Thursday. It is a terrific opportunity
that will result in not only a positive eco-
nomic impact for our area, but also an
opportunity for Vineland to showcase
itself and all the wonderful things we have
to offer.
Elbeuf estimates that the games will
generate $1.4 million in revenue for the
area over seven weeks, which includes
tournaments on the three holiday week-
ends of summer. Elbeuf mentioned hotels,
eateries and gas stations as just a few of
the businesses that will benefit from an
influx of as many as 15,000 people congre-
gating here for four-day stretches over the
seven weekends.
The tournaments are a great opportu-
nity for the City to get an infusion of con-
sumer spending from outside our commu-
nity, Council President Anthony Fanucci
stated. We look forward to this becoming
a permanent arrangement in the future
with the partnership between Perfect
Game and American Sports Resort.
Perfect Game has scheduled tourna-
ments for seven weeks, from May 23
through September 1, with a fall tourna-
ment schedule pending. The confirmed
schedule includes approximately 250
teams competing in Vineland this summer.
This is not Little League, Elbeuf said.
These young men are mostly college
prospects. The crowds will include 40
or 50 scouts coming to observe, college
scouts as well as scouts from the Major
Leagues, he added.
Perfect Game touts the largest baseball
scouting department, with the PG
Database being the largest of its kind in
baseball. At any given time there will be
nearly 100,000 high school players being
followed via the database. The events are
invaluable to the college coaching com-
munity and major league baseball as they
can scout a large population of talented
ball players all in one location.
Bob Barth, MidAtlantic Regional
Director of Perfect Game, is the owner
and operator of the Tri-State Arsenal, a
travel baseball program, and partners with
his father Joe Barth in a company called
Hit Doctor Baseball, which offers instruc-
tional and developmental programs.
The Hit Doctor Camps are the con-
cept of Director, Joe Barth, Jr.
Barth and his son, Bob, founded the
Tri-State Arsenal Travel Baseball pro-
gram, based in Voorhees, NJ, and current-
ly coach teams that have won numerous
national championships. Joe is a 2007
Inductee into the South Jersey Baseball
Hall of Fame.
The influx of the traveling baseball
teams, coaches, their family and friends
will be a positive impact to the economy
of Vineland, stated Mayor Bermudez,
and we look forward to working with Mr.
Barth and his organization to make the
2014 Vineland events a big success.
There have been many individuals in
Vineland working behind the scenes to
help us make this happen, with the sched-
uling of the fields, hotels and more, stat-
ed Barth. And we look forward to this
being just the beginning in this location.
One of those key people is Elbeuf, who
says he has been in contact with Joe Barth
for years and he is glad to see these efforts
now coming to fruition.
The Greater Vineland Chamber of
Commerce is looking for volunteers to be
welcome ambassadors for players and
their families. Hunter said. I encourage
the business community and citizens of
Vineland to support this (event) in any
way they can.
I have every confidence that this is
just the beginning of a valuable partner-
ship and holds huge potential, she added.

2016 AND BEYOND: AMERICAS
SPORTS RESORT TO BE LOCATED IN
VINELAND
This summers scheduling is a begin-
ning to Vineland being one of Perfect
Games locations for baseball tournaments
in the United Statesand a preliminary to
the additional fields that would be avail-
able for a full schedule when the proposed
multi-faceted sports complex is developed
in Vineland.
The previously announced develop-
ment has been renamed Americas Sports
Resort (ASR) with plans calling for host-
ing baseball and other sports training and
tournaments by 2016.
Americas Sports Resort (ASR), a pri-
vately funded project with Sora Northeast
Development as the master developer, is
planned to be open for the 2016 season on
286 acres in southeast Vineland.
Committed to energy-efficient green con-
struction and utilities, it is expected to
create significant jobs and tax ratables for
the city and region. It is estimated that the
economic impact to the region will be up
to $250 million annually.
As envisioned, the complex will host
training camps and leagues as well as
competitive tournament events in base-
ball, basketball, softball, lacrosse, soccer
and track, among other sport programs.
The ASR Arena will include indoor
track and sports fields, and up to eight
basketball courts with flexible seating
according to the event(s). It will also
serve as a conference center and house
corporate offices, broadcasting facilities,
medical services, restaurants and a food
court. The ASR concept is designed for
athletes of all ages, income levels, back-
grounds and abilities.
In addition to the Sports Complex,
plans include a four-star hotel with
25,000 square feet of conference facilities
and a 50,000 to 80,000-square-foot
indoor waterpark with an adjacent seven-
acre outdoor waterpark to be developed
in the latter phase of the project. The
500-suite resort hotel will provide lodg-
ing, meals and entertainment for both
families attending tournaments and com-
petitions at ASR as well as the general
public. An Athletes Village will provide
accommodations for athletes and coaches
consisting of multi-unit dormitory style
accommodations. I

Advertise in the Summer Baseball
Tournament Welcome Guide
This summer, 3,500 elite youth baseball players will descend upon Vineland
to play in seven four-day tournaments throughout the city. Between players,
coaches, tournament officials, families and supporters, more than 15,000
people are expected to travel here.
Theyll be staying in our hotels, eating three meals a day in our restaurants,
and looking for things to do and places to shop.
The Greater Vineland Chamber of Commerce and The Grapevine are teaming
up to produce a Welcome Guide that every player/family will receive.
The Welcome Guide will have a map and information for visitors listing
restaurants, accommodations, attractions and summer events, etc.
Those who advertise in the Welcome Guide can take
advantage of the economic tidal wave. If your business
doesnt advertise in the guide, they wont know you exist!
To advertise, contact The Grapevine at 856-457-7815.
Advertising deadline is May 9.

The Science of Solutions
As part of a Science class on solutions and
mixtures, Ellison 4th Graders donned their safety
glasses and got to
work. Individually and
in teams, the students
performed a series of
experiments. This
type of interactive
learning is part of a
new science curricu-
lum called Science
Fusion, that was intro-
duced at The Ellison
School last year.

as he carefully reaches for just the right amount.
RIGHT: Anthony Rotelle (Estell Manor) and Madelyn DeLong
(Vineland) work together to complete their task.
Cruz Receives Donation From Winslow Students
Olivia Cruz,
Miss Vineland
2013, received a
$100 donation on
the 100th day of
school today from
students in Tara
Piccione's grade 3
class at Winslow
Elementary School.
Cruz will use
the funds for a
project she found-
ed during her
reign, "Love Through Laces". The project raises money to purchase new sneakers
for local homeless children through the non-profit Family Promise organization. As
Miss Vineland, Cruz also assisted with Project Thanksgiving, providing holiday
meals for less fortunate local residents.
The students seemed fascinated not only on the enlarged ceremonial $100 bill,
but the real thing, presented by Piccione in a red, heart-shaped gift box.
Piccione said the students considered Cruz' program to be a "wonderful act of
kindness." In her honor, the students performed 100 acts of kindness, described on
brightly colored sticky notes displayed on a bulletin board. In addition to the
donation of funds, food, clothing and toys to the less fortunate, the students prom-
ised to say please and thank you, stop bullying, and help in their classroom.
Cruz is a senior attending the Gloucester County Institute of Technology
Performing Arts School and has narrowed her choice of colleges to a "short list.

pring and warmer weather has truly
arrived, and with it comes the desire
to put aside heavier comfort foods
that most people enjoy during the cold
winter months, and replace them with
lighter springtime meals. Here are two
tasty recipes that are filling, yet not too
heavy, perfect for a Springtime menu!
Almond Coated Chicken
10 - 12 boneless, skinless chicken
tenderloins
2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
3 eggs, beaten
Extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 400. Grease a 9x13-
inch baking pan with non-stick olive oil
cooking spray, set aside. In a bowl, add the
almond flour, Parmesan cheese and sea-
sonings, set aside. Dredge the chicken ten-
derloins into the beaten eggs, then into
the almond flour mixture until well coated
on both sides. Place the tenderloins in one
layer onto the prepared baking pan.
Drizzle the chicken lightly with extra
virgin olive oil and place pan into the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes, then remove pan
from oven, flip chicken over and bake for
another 15-20 minutes, or until clear juices
flow when the chicken is pierced. Serve.
Greek Quinoa Salad
3 cups cold water
1 1/2 cups quinoa, uncooked
1/4 cup apple cider or balsamic vinegar
Juice from one lemon
2 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
3 - 4 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 small onion, diced or sliced small
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 English cucumber, peeled and diced
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
In a large saucepan, cook the quinoa in
water for 15-20 minutes or until tender,
stirring occasionally. Allow to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar,
lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, set aside.
In a large bowl, gently toss the quinoa
together with the olives, parsley, onion,
tomatoes and cucumbers. Pour the olive
oil mixture over the quinoa. Add salt and
pepper to taste and gently toss in the feta
cheese.
As always, Bon Appetit! I

St. Mary School Students Have Their Original
Stories Come To Life Through Mime
Young Authors Day
is fascinating educa-
tional experiences
designed to stimulate
the imagination in all
of us and at St. Mary
School students in
kindergarten through
eighth grade were
treated to just that.
An assembly designed
to support and
enhance creative writ-
ing skills. This reward-
ing day began with an
all school assembly
by a classically
trained Mime artist,
Miss Jones from Mobile Education, who introduced students to the "art of
silence"mime.
During the program the performer discussed the differences between writing
for the stage and writing for the page. She stressed the importance of structure
and told the students where she got the inspiration for her stories.
Next up, Miss Jones challenged the students to create their own stories using
the "3 P's and 1 S" technique. (i.e., person, place, problem and solution)
Together, the assembly discussed different possibilities for their creative stories
and then students returned to their classrooms to write stories for the performer.
During the writing process the performer stopped in classrooms to answer ques-
tions and help with the writing.
The day culminated with an afternoon assembly where students were recog-
nized for their fine work as selected stories were acted out by the performer.
Through innovative practices, St. Mary School continues its mission of putting
minds to work through 21st Century learning.
