T
he year 2011 was a banner year for Rob
Haydak and his mixed martial arts associa-
tion, Cage Fury Fighting Championships
(CFFC). After buying the rights to the company from
former owner, Felix Hernandez, in 2010, Haydak
enacted an aggressive fight schedule for 2011, host-
ing six different events through the year, with one
more to come on December 10, at Resorts Casino
and Hotel in Atlantic City, all in an effort to resurrect
the company that was seemingly dead following
nearly three years of inactivity.
The plan was to re-establish CFFC in the region, in
hopes that if a large enough pedigree was garnered,
the company could then focus on expansion. It has
worked nearly to perfection. During the year, the
company has seen more interest than ever before
from up and coming fighters and veterans, signing
several of them to multi-fight contracts; signed a TV
deal for eight fights in 2012 with PHL 17; and has
been in negotiations with undisclosed venues in both
Atlantic City and Philadelphia about hosting fights in
2012including the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.
Our business model, which is very secretive,
said Haydak, is a five-year model. Right now, were
a little bit ahead of where we were projected at this
point, which is great. This is an exciting time for the
company. Weve been really happy with Resorts [the

Gonzalez Wins New Leader in Banking Award
Jennifer Gonzalez, a vice president at Sun National Bank, was one of only 10
bank employees in New Jersey to be honored with a 2011 New Leaders in
Banking Award. The award recognizes young bankers in the state who have
been nominated by their peers for outstanding leadership and success in the
banking industrythe rising stars of the profession.
Gonzalez joined Sun National Bank in 2005 and held progressive positions as
a team member and leader in the
Deposit Operations department. In 2010,
she was promoted to Vice President of
Electronic Banking & Bank Settlement
Groups. A resident of Vineland, Gonzalez
earned a Bachelor of Science degree in
Accounting from Rowan University. She
has volunteered her time with local
organizations in the community including
Boys and Girls Club and the United Way.
For the 2011 New Leaders in Banking
Awards, the New Jersey Bankers
Association and New Jersey Banker
magazine asked bankers throughout the
state to nominate individuals considered
to be rising stars in the banking indus-
try. Nominees needed to be age 40 or
younger and be making a significant
contribution to their institution or com-
munity. Numerous nominations were
received and reviewed by an independent panel of judges, who selected just 10
bankers who represent the top New Leaders In Banking.

Colds and
Kittens
T
he weekend after Thanksgiving I
celebrated one of those insignifi-
cant birthdays. You know, one of
those without a zero at the end
that signify absolutely nothing except the
fact that all your prized possessions are a
year older.
Family and friends gathered to wish me
a happy, happy day and leave bottles of
Irish whiskey to help me through the next
12 months.
Looks like Ive reached that point in my
life (it drove me crazy when my parents did
it) where I can honestly say Ive got every-
thing I need.
Unfortunately, I got a little unexpected
present on my birthday: a cold or the flu,
Im not sure which.
Youd think Id knowbecause its actually
lasted longer than at least one bottle of the
Irish whiskey.
My wife keeps telling me to go to the
doctor.
That just doesnt seem like the right
course of action to me.
If it is a cold, the doctor will tell me to
get plenty of rest and drink lots of liquids.
Believe me, I get plenty of rest.
And, if necessary, Ill start putting ice
cubes in my Irish whiskey.
But Im waiting to make that decision.
Personally, I think Ive got the flu.
Which flu, Im not so sure.
There doesnt seem to be any special
variety (Asian, swine, bird) this year to
worry about. Not that it makes much differ-
ence, because I have an egg allergy that
prevents me from getting any flu shots.
My advice to you, though, if your system
can handle it, is to get that flu shot as
quickly as possible.
Me, I just continue to, as my wife says,
be sick and stubborn.
Actually, if it werent for the sneezing,
coughing, wheezing and aching, this
wouldnt be so bad.
It gets me out of the Christmas shopping.
When my wife wants to go over the
Christmas to do list I can just start
coughing and wheezing and shell say, you
just rest, Ill take care of it.
Same thing when it comes time for the
holiday decorating and, her specialty, baking.
Id love to help, cough, cough.
No, dear. You just rest.
Problem with this strategy is that I cant
just miraculously recover for a few hours to
go out and play a round of golf or a few
hands of pinochle.
Like the holiday season, this too must
pass, so Im just gonna wait it out with the
help of plenty of rest and lots of liquids
(with ice cubes).
In happier news, we acquired our first
official family pet: a cute little two-month-
old kitten named Oscar.
My wifes homestead is a three-acre
piece of country land that is a natural for
animals (raccoons, deer, skunks, a red fox,
groundhogs, turkeys, groundhogs and rab-
bits to name a few).
For years, the wife had been after me to
get a dog. And, for years I resisted.
Always on the grounds that I didnt
want to be responsible for one more living
creature. Particularly one that had to be
fed, walked and picked up after.
After six or seven years, the wife gave up
on the dog idea and started her cat cam-
paign. Now, three years later, the kitten
has landed.
And, what a delight he is.
As a former city boy, I know only mar-
ginally less about animals than I do about
plants.
We didnt have pets growing up in
Detroit. My parents were both farm-raised
and had had enough of critters to last them
a lifetime.
When my kids were young we had bad
experiences with dogs both here and back
in Michigan.
Two got run over by cars and the last
one developed some rare (expensive) dis-
ease and had to be put down.
Later, I had custody of my daughters cat
for about a year when she went off to college.
That, I thought, was just about enough
critters in my life.
Turns out I was wrong.
Oscar is the perfect companion.
He keeps me company when I go outside
for my cigar breaks, never complains that
smoking is bad for me, and is perfectly
willing to play whatever game I choose.
Now, if I can teach him how to play gin
rummy and drink Irish whiskey, Ill have a
lifetime companion. I

TaeKwon-Do Students Attend U.S. Nationals
Underground TaeKwon-Do, located in Millville, attended their final ITF sanc-
tioned tournament for the year in September. The Queens tournament was the
U.S. Nationals. It consisted of a full-contact sparring competition as well as a
forms competition. Underground TKD students placed for four gold, 12 silver,
and four bronze medals. Six of those students are eligible to attend the
TaeKwon-Do World Cup in Brighton, England, in October 2012. Competitors must
be at least 12 years old and rank at blue belt or higher to attend the World Cup.
The day after the Queens tournament, students went to Liberty State Park,
and visited the Statue of Liberty. They also performed a TKD demonstration, with
Ground Zero in the background, in memory of the lives lost on September 11, 2001.
New Solar Field Unveiled in Southeast Vineland
NJR Clean Energy Ventures (NJRCEV), a subsidiary of New Jersey Resources,
hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony last Wednesday to unveil its latest commercial
solar initiative on Mays Landing Road just east of Sherman Avenue. The project
is a 4.7 megawatt, ground-mounted solar system that will provide electricity to
the wholesale market through the Vineland Municipal Electric Utility. Moreover,
the solar array is expected to annually produce 7.2 million kilowatt hours, elimi-
nating 4,953 metric tons of carbon-equivalent emissions. This equates to remov-
ing the carbon dioxide emissions produced by approximately 971 vehicles.
Pictured are (left to right) Stan Kosierowski, President, NJRCEV; Robert Romano,
Mayor of Vineland; and Joseph Isabella, Director of the Vineland Municipal
Electric Utility. According to Isabella, the project is unique because it features
panels that move as they track the sun throughout the day, and because NJRCEV
is not selling the energy produced by this solar system to the utility, but rather
utilizing the VMEUs distribution system to move the energy to market.

Ground Broken for New Fire Station
A groundbreaking ceremony for construction of new fire station for Vineland Fire Co.
No. 1 was held last Wednesday morning on Chestnut Avenue in Vineland. Construction
is being handled by contractors
Art Anderson, Inc. of Vineland.
The station was designed by
Rodier Ebersberger Architects of
Williamstown. The station will be
a two-level, 10,170 sq. ft. facility
for Station 1 volunteers, who
have been sharing space with
Co. 6 at Fire Dept. Headquarters
(Fourth and Wood streets) since
the former Station 1 at East and
Wood was demolished as part of
the Landis Theater project. The
station will be accessible from
Eighth Street and Chestnut
Avenue with a two-lane fire truck
bay that forces fire trucks to exit only onto Chestnut Avenue. The project is expected to
be completed by June 2012. The construction contract is valued at $2,574,700 with
funding provided in part through the Urban Enterprise Zone Program. The remaining
funding has been provided through municipal bond ordinances.
Pictured (l. to r.) are: Firefighter Emmanuel Mercado, Treasurer and former assistant Chief Joe
Butschky, firefighter Sabrina Iglesias, firefighter Ricky Beltran, Co. No. 1 Chief Jim Hoffman,
City Councilman Doug Albrecht, Mayor Robert Romano, Co. No. 1 President Bill Rossi, Co. No. 1
Vice President/Trustee and firefighter Hank Ehrlich, and Assistant Chief Phil McMahon.

Eight students from two South Jersey Martial Arts Schools represented Team
USA at the North American Federation of Martial Arts (NAFMA) World Karate
Championships in Ontario Canada, which took place on November 19, 2011. In
addition to NAFMA Team USA winning Gold in the overall world team champi-
onship, the local students won 13 Gold medals, eight Silver medals, and eight
Bronze medals in Weapons Forms, Empty Hand Forms, Padded Stick Fighting
and Point Sparring.
Sensei Austino and Sensei Garavento of Austino's Karate Do of Glassboro (at
Four Seasons Health Club) and Buena (at The Firm for Health and Fitness), NJ,
and Sensei Cianelli of Tsuru Ki Martial Arts of Hainesport, NJ, took the eight stu-
dents to compete in the NAFMA World Karate Championships as representatives
of the larger, 75-person NAFMA Team USA. Their medal distribution is as follows:
Master Stefano Cianelli, Adults 40 & Older World ChampionGold in Team Event,
Silvers in Forms and Sparing, Bronze in Weapons; Taylor Burke, Girls 16-17,
World Champion Gold in Team Event, Golds in Weapons, Forms, and Sparing,

ified for the NAFMA Team USA at the Memorial Day Weekend Qualifier/Team
Selection Tournament that took place in Atlantic City, NJ. They competed against
their peers in all events and had to finish in the top three of their respective age
and gender groups to qualify for Team USA. Most divisions had 10 or more high

Angels at The Vineland Public Library
If you are looking for a way to share the spirit of the holiday, Vineland Public
Library can help. The library is again sponsoring an Angel Tree for the 2011 holi-
day season. In lieu of decorations, paper angels adorn the librarys holiday tree.
Each angel represents a local child whose family is in need and lists the gender
and age of the child. Area residents are encouraged to select an angel from the
tree and purchase an appropriate toy or gift item. The unwrapped gifts are to be
brought to the library along with the paper angel by Wednesday, December 21.
The gifts will then be wrapped and distributed to the families in time for holiday
giving. The library is also accepting donations of gift boxes, wrapping paper, tape
and bows. Stop by the library and choose your angel. For more details, call the
library at 794-4244 or Project Santa coordinator Alex Kaganzev at 691-7672.

Downtown Vineland
{ TODD NOON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, VDID / MAINSTREET VINELAND }
Last weeks public hearing unveils ideas for parking,
circulation, and wayfinding.
Parking
Improvements
M
y column of two weeks ago
was devoted to the parking,
circulation, and landscape
study that has been taking
place over the past two years and the pub-
lic hearing at which the study would be
explained. That hearing took place Tuesday
of last week and what came out of it was
that we are on the right track, with some
effective things that can be done to make
our downtown even better.
Though I cannot go through the study
in detail, I will mention some highlights.
Many of you have been concerned about
the availability of sufficient parking down-
town. The study revealed that we have ade-
quate parking downtown to accommodate
even maximum demand. A better job needs
to be done, however, to indicate where it is
and to encourage people to use it. Some
parking areas are underutilizedthe lots
and curb parking on Elmer Street, for
example. More and better wayfinding signs
are needed to let people know where this
parking is located.
Getting to and from the lots to business-
es downtown can also be remedied by mak-
ing Elmer and/or Wood streets two-way
avenues. Better pedestrian access between
Landis Avenue and parking lots could be
achieved through walkwaysfrom the lots
to Landis Avenue and mid-block walkways
across Landis Avenue. It was recommend-
ed also that pedestrian traffic signals be
repaired and upgraded.
Speaking of Landis Avenue, the study
suggested or recommended improvements
to the streetscape to take advantage of the
width of the street and sidewalks. A center
median was also discussed. Points discussed
included more trees, benches, landscaping,
bistro tables and other outdoor dining
amenities, and improved landscapingall to
create an inviting atmosphere to encourage
walkers and browsers. The same would
apply for side streets to make themconnect
better to the overall downtown scheme.
Landscaping also would be a factor with
the rear parking lots, with dumpsters
grouped together and screened in. The lots
should have landscaped islands and per-
pendicular parking.
The overall thrust of the recommenda-
tions was to give our downtown a sense of
place and consistency branding our down-
town. This would be reflected in bright
attractive wayfinding signs.
The complete draft report can be found
on the City of Vinelands website,
www.vinelandcity.org, on the Public
Meetings page. For those who do not want
to read the entire 158-page report, the
PowerPoint presented at the public hear-
ing, will be posted on the website.
Some of the recommendations in the
report are short-term, while others will be
considered in the long-term. Likewise,
some of the recommendations are much
more expensive than others. The City will
be going through the study and prioritizing
projects, based on what can be done when.
Studies of the downtown have been
done in the past and some recommenda-
tions in those studies were similar to those
in this study. The difference, to me, is that
this study coincides with our current status
as a Main Street district and the tremen-
dous efforts being made at downtown revi-
talization. We should all get behind these
efforts to make our downtown the very
best it can benot only for us as residents
and business owners, but also for those
who visit or might consider opening a busi-
ness here.
Those of you who have been on Landis
Avenue recently have noticed that progress
is being made on mounting the mural on
the eastern wall of the building at 616 E.
Landis Avenue. Plans are for the mural to
be fully mounted this month, with a dedi-
cation ceremony taking place sometime
thereafter. An informational kiosk about
the mural will be located across the street,
in front of Landis MarketPlace.
***
With the holiday shopping season here,
make downtown Vineland your destination
for buying that special gift. Save money on
gasoline, avoid the long lines at the malls
and shopping centers, and enjoy plenty of
entertainment we have right in town. I

Gabriels Horn { FRANK GABRIEL }
Back in Business
H
es baaaaaack. Or more accu-
rately, they are back. The sub-
jects of those random blips of
data, would be, in order, local
entrepreneur/restaurateur John Scipione,
along with his extended family.
The location of their return is Moris
Restaurant, adjacent to Vinelands
restored Landis Theater, at the northwest-
ern corner of East and Landis avenues.
That spot, which pretty much defines
the beginning of Vinelands downtown
shopping district, has been the subject of
much discussion, and even some contro-
versy, over the last several months.
Since this newspaper has already well
documented the recent transition that has
taken place at the Theater, well dwell
instead on the restaurant side of things here.
Start with: the Scipioneswhich trans-
lates as John, wife Annette, sons John and
Louis (the latter when on break from col-
lege in Tampa), plus godson Paul Rodgers,
a longtime front-of-the-house manager at
their familys mothership business, west
Landis Avenues Ramada Innopened
Moris in May of 2010.
Exercising an option in that initial con-
tract, they parted ways with the property
just over a year ago, in November 2010.
As John describes it, their decision to
enter into the venture was largely one
borne out of a sense of civic pride and duty.
Four weeks before opening, no one
else would do it.
Calling the situation one where
options [were] exhausted, he continues,
adding No one else stepped up, we were
the last ones standing. We kinda said
somebody has to try and help.
Which they did, tracking down talent-
ed local chef Tony Oliva, a veteran of
many years at the late, always lamented,
Midway Inn.
Oliva had been working in Las Vegas
and returned excited about the opportu-
nity to forge a new dining entity in his
hometown.
And while Scipione describes the inau-
gural events as fantastic, allowing that
When we were there, we built some
great relationships the family opted out
after half a year for what he characterizes
as strictly business reasons: Our decision
to leave Moris was based on wanting to
concentrate on the Ramada, that was all.
Last autumn, they turned over the
lease to an organization headed by Frank
Pettisani, Jr. and A.R. Fanucci, who man-
aged Moris until Monday, November 21.
This time around, the Scipiones took a
bit of time and did things their way.
They closed immediately, giving Annette
an opportunity to tweak the interiors.
Labeling them cold, she redecorated
quickly in bright, seasonal holiday themes.
After a years absence, the Scipiones return to kitchen and front of the house at
Moris on Landis.

They launched on Wednesday for din-
ner, just in time for what is traditionally
one of the bar industrys biggest draws,
Thanksgiving Eve.
He credits hotel personnel with help-
ing to accomplish the transition rapidly,
saying, The Ramada cleaning staff went
through the place like a buzzsaw, he said.
They also immediately added enter-
tainment, bringing in vocalist Kathy
Testa Epifanio on Friday nights and Jim
White Saturdays. Both are veteran
Ramada performers.
The menu got a similar revisit, turning
it completely Italian and changing the
concept, while keeping Moris popular
brick-oven-baked flatbreads.
Among the items Scipione specifically
lauds are the spiedini alla Romana, skew-
ered bread and fresh mozzarella, pan
seared in extra virgin olive oil and served
with a delicate sauce of capers, lemon and
anchovy paste.
Also the chicken Sorrento, sauted
breast layered with eggplant, topped by
buffalo mozzarella and finished al forno,
in the comforting heat of that oven.
And as another nod to native agricul-
ture, the eggplant Napoleon, composed of
garlic-infused sauted spinach, prosciutto
and cheese.
Its all in line with todays heightened
economic sensibilities, We wanted to
make it so that someone can come out for
20 bucks and have a night out with a cou-
ple glasses of wine, said Scipione.
With seating for over 150 at the two-
level facility, including the bar/lounge,
Scipione seems certain that the dynamics
will work favorably this time.
Calling the atmosphere at Moris a
metropolitan feel, he seems thrilled to
have encountered customers from across
Vinelands suddenly multicultural landscape.
When he closes by stating There is no
issue with parking, its a great location
and a beautiful place, you tend to want to
believe that this time around the
Scipiones are here to stay. I
Chef Tony Oliva (left) has been a constant
at Moris since it opened. John Scipione, Jr.,
is happy to rejoin him there.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 sticks butter, softened
3/4 cup raw sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 (12 oz.) package) semi-sweet chocolate
chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl,
combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a sep-
arate bowl, beat butter, raw sugar, brown
sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time,
beating well after each addition; gradually
stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredi-
ents. Stir in chocolate chips and drop dough
by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased or
parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake
cookies for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden
brown. Let stand for 2 minutes, then remove
cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Gingerbread Cupcakes with
Orange Cream Cheese Frosting
1 stick butter
1 cup unsulfured black strap molasses
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 tsp. grated orange zest
2 1/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. non-aluminum baking soda
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muf-
fin pan with paper liners. Place butter and
molasses in a small saucepan and bring to a
boil over medium heat. Pour the mixture into
the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the
paddle attachment. Cool for 5 minutes, then
mix in the sour cream and orange zest.
Meanwhile, sift flour, baking soda, ginger,
cinnamon, cloves, and salt together into a
small bowl. With the mixer on low speed,
slowly add the flour mixture to the molasses
mixture and mix only until smooth. Divide
the batter among a 12-cup muffin pan and
bake on the middle rack of the oven for 25 to
30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out
clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing
from the pan. Cool cupcakes completely
before frosting.
Frosting
8 ounces cream cheese, at room
temperature
1 stick butter, at room temperature
1/2 tsp. orange zest
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 pound organic confectioners' sugar,
sifted
Mix cream cheese, butter, orange zest and
vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted
with the paddle attachment until just com-
bined. Add the sugar and mix until smooth.
When the cupcakes are completely cool, frost
them generously and garnish with a mint
leaf, colored jimmies or candies, etc.
As always, from my kitchen to yours, Bon
Appetit! I

Salem County Not Alerted as
Refinery Releases Toxins
On Sunday evening, November 27,
Salem Countys riverfront residents were
alarmed as fires at a Delaware City refin-
ery lit the night sky and rumbling sounds
like a freight train were reported as far
east as Elmer. The Salem County Office
of Emergency Management (OEM)
immediately began receiving 911 calls of
inquiry. OEM officials quickly contacted
the New Castle County Fire Board and
were informed that there had been a
power outage and the PBF refinery was
simply burning off the stack.
Reports on Monday morning, howev-
er, indicated that the open-air, high-level
incinerator towers on both the north and
south ends of refinery had been activat-
ed. Delaware State officials confirmed
that the flare released hazardous chemi-
cals into the air, including more than
1,000 pounds of carbon monoxide, 10
pounds of hydrogen cyanide, 100 pounds
of hydrogen sulfide and 500 pounds of
sulfur dioxide. Officials also noted that
the problem was under control soon after
midnight, with affected production units
expected back in service over the next
few days. The Delaware plant processes
heavy, high-sulfur crude oil.
I am appalled and dismayed that the
State of Delaware chose not to follow
protocol during this incident by submit-
ting a report to the State of New Jersey
and Salem County Office of Emergency
Management, said County
Administrator Earl R. Gage. We have
requested that Delaware officials investi-
gate the matter to assure that this failure
to communicate does not occur again in
the future.
The Salem County Administration
Department and the Salem County
Emergency Management Department are
conducting their own investigation.
Freeholder Director Lee R. Ware has
sent a letter to the Governor of the State
of Delaware, asking him to have his office
look into this matter also. I

healthy lives and reduce their impact on the environment.

umberland County residents
have a new way to spend the
second Friday of each month.
After an inaugural November
run, Bivalve will again host Second Fridays
by the Bay, an evening filled with food, bev-
erages and entertainment that also offers a
look at the legacy of the community.
On December 9, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.,
Second Fridays by the Bay will present the
seasonal Bayshore Holiday as this
months theme. The monthly gatherings
promise a mixture of area history, music
by local artists, a hands-on activity, and
exhibits in the Delaware Bay Museum &
Folklife Center. Admission is free.
Hosted at the Bayshore Discovery
Project's newly restored shipping sheds,
which were the center of the areas oyster
business a century ago, the
event provides visitors with
covered wharves on the
Maurice River and a collec-
tion of historic buildings.
The setting offers a glimpse
into the past as well as an
opportunity to witness one
of New Jerseys last remain-
ing working waterfronts.
The site is also where New
Jerseys tall ship, the A.J.
Meerwald, docks.
Bivalve takes its name
from the term for mollusks
with two-hinged shells that
include clams, mussels, scal-
lops and oysters, the last of
which has provided the
town with its most notable
industry. Various online
sources report that Bivalve
is part of the Commercial
Township Wetlands
Restoration Site.
By the early portion of
the 20th century, Bivalve,
along with neighboring
Shell Pile, established its
reputation in the oyster
trade. Its location on the
Maurice River near the
town of Port Norris allowed
it to develop into a thriving
local industry that began to
wane in the mid-1950s after
the spread of MSX, a lethal infection that
destroyed oyster supplies in the Delaware
Bay and the rest of the Eastern Seaboard.
The Bivalve area is certainly rich in
history. The Maurice River is the source
of many legends dating back to the early
European settlement of New Jersey.
According to William McMahons South
Jersey Towns: History and Legend, this
waterway was originally named
Wahatquenack by local Indians. With the
arrival of Dutch explorers, who were
known to capture and enslave Indian resi-
dents, the river was used as a means of
transportation for prospective settlers.
Reports say that a band of Indians
attacked the Dutch vessel Prince Maurice
in the area of what is today Commercial
Township. The destruction of the ship led

early settlers to use its name when refer-
ring to the river, and its title became offi-
cial over time.
McMahon also informs us that the
lumber industry was once dominant in
the Port Norris area after the town was
purchased by Joseph Jones in 1810 and
renamed after the new owners eldest son.
The son of a successful coffee merchant,
Jones met with failure when he attempted
to establish a sheep range. His other
endeavor, the cutting and shipping of
cordwood, proved to be a thriving busi-
ness. Jones used several boats to transport
the cut wood to the Philadelphia market.
As the century progressed, however, the
oyster industry surpassed all others in the
area. Before the arrival of a railroad line in
Port Norris in 1860, relay teams transport-
ed oysters packed in ice to Gloucester
where boats carried them to Philadelphia.
These earlier eras are celebrated at
Second Fridays by the Bay through sea-
sonal or thematic exhibits that provide vis-
itors with a sense of the locations history
and spirit, especially through its museum
offerings. Novembers Second Friday event
celebrated the opening of The Abundant
Oyster exhibition that, according to the
events press release, presented oral his-
tory excerpts, artifacts, photographs and
newspaper accounts that recall the experi-
ences of African-Americans in Bivalve,
Shell Pile, Port Norris and Maurice River
during the height of the areas oyster
industry. Consisting of accounts by cur-
rent and former residents of the area, the
exhibit has offered a depiction of Bivalve,
Shellpile and Port Norris inhabitants at
work, play and worship during bygone
years, along with a collection of photo-
graphs, newspaper articles and artifacts
that bring to life the oral histories.
The museum, which includes an art
gallery and gift shop, is also open Tuesday
through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. I

Slime Mold in Landscapes
Rutgers Cooperative Extension
From the late spring through fall, many
landscapes are dotted with mushrooms,
especially following a moist and cool spring
season. Some can be damaging, while oth-
ers are simply an oddity of nature and of
little concern except for aesthetics. Such is
the case of slime molds. Dog Vomit slime
mold (Fuligo septica) is the species most
often noticed. Despite the unpleasant name
and appearance similar to a dogs vomit, it
is completely harmless to humans, animals
and plants.
HABITAT
Dog vomit slime molds are frequently
observed when they form large colonies in
mulched areas around trees, shrubs, wood-
lands, or forested areas. They can even be
found in mulched playground areas. They
usually appear during the late spring to
summer following soaking rains.
They live in cool, shady, moist places on
decaying wood, leaves or other organic
matter that retains moisture. Slime molds
spend most of their lives out of sight in the
soil, leaf matter, or mulch. Eventually, it can
move to a more exposed location on top of
the mulch, pine straw, stump, sidewalk or
Dog Vomit slime mold, though unsightly, is
actually beneficial in decomposing organic
matter and cycling nutrients.

foundation of a building, transforming
itself into its fruiting or spore producing
life stage. At that point it appears as a slimy
mound or mass in a variety of colors,
including bright yellow and orange.
Slime molds feed on decaying organic
matter, bacteria and protozoa. Although
they are not parasites, they may engulf low
lying plants by covering or shading them.
Slime molds may also appear in lawns due
to over watering or poor drainage.
LIFE CYCLE
These slime molds are similar to fungi in
that they produce spores which when
moistened, germinate and give rise to
microscopic organisms. The body of a slime
mold is a blob-like mass. The mass is
referred to as a plasmodium. Much like an
amoeba, as they mature, they prey on
microorganisms and decaying organic mat-
ter by engulfing them, and must have a
moist surface to move. With favorable
moist conditions the plasmodium can
reach two feet or more in diameter.
When conditions are no longer favor-
able, they aggregate to form a spore pro-
ducing structures resembling a foamy
mass or puffball. New spores then form
within the structure. As the fruiting body
dries up and cracks open, the spores are
blown by the wind to new locations where
they can start new colonies.
CONTROL
Slime molds are more an aesthetic nui-
sance then a threat to gardens or lawns.
They are generally considered beneficial
organisms because they decompose dead
organic matter, help cycle nutrients and
may consume pathogenic fungi or bacte-
ria in the soil.
Slime molds will generally disappear if
left alone but their appearance may cause
homeowners, park and playground man-
agers to desire a more rapid method of
removal.
Chemical treatment has been found
ineffective, but cultural and mechanical
maintenance of mulched areas can mini-
mize their presence. Once a colony starts
to form, simply allow the mulch to dry
out; use a rake and turn it under; or scoop
the slime mold up and place in the
garbage. You may also be able to break it
up with a forceful stream of water.
Untreated slime molds can also quick-
ly disappear as the weather dries out the
organism and it returns to its invisible
spore stage. It is important to note that if
conditions for slime mold development
are still present and a food source is avail-
able, they may reappear throughout the
season. The simplest thing to do is to look
at them for their unique and interesting
beauty, and tolerate a little slime mold
now and then. I
New Jersey Equine Advisory Board Announces $1,000 Scholarship
The New Jersey Equine Advisory Board has announced a $1,000 scholarship to
help 4-H and FFA members, as well as any young adult who is a member of a
New Jersey Equine organization represented on the New Jersey Equine Advisory
Board, pursue their equine activities.

Dear Santa,
My brother and I are writing our wish
list. I would like an iPod Touch with a
silver case. No glitter. My brother who is
21 months would like anything to do
with cars. Weve been really good this
year. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Love,
Brianna Santiago and
Anthony Williams
Dear Santa,
I want a Barbie. I love playing with
dolls. Hows the North Pole? I bet its
freezing there. Hows Mrs. Claus? Is she
nice? Can your reindeer talk? I saw you in
a movie. It was called The Search for Santa
Paws and in Santa Clause 2. When is your
birthday? How do your reindeer fly? Do
you have a pet? How old are you? Im 9
years old. I guess Im too old to believe in
you. Am I? Every kid in school makes fun
of me. I guess theyre on the naughty list.
What should I do? I dont want to be on
the naughty list. I want to have friends,
but theyre always mean to me. So what
should I do?
Yours Truly,
Gissele Colon
P.S. It sounds like this: Jizzele
Dear Santa Claus,
My name is Matthew Cunningham
Jr.. Ive been good this year and I even
help Mom-Mom make cookies for you
and Rudolph. I will make carrot cook-
ies just for Rudolph and choclate chip
cookies and milk for you.
This year I would really, really like a
Call of Duty 3 game and an Iron Man. I
will be so happy if you bring them.
And Santa Claus, maybe you can talk
to Jesus and ask him to give my baby
sister Ireland a big kiss from me? My
baby sister lives with Jesus. Tell her I
love her.
And Santa Claus, please dont eat
too many cookies cause you wont fit
down my chimney. Last year I found
some presents in the front yard. What
happened?
Thank you, Santa.
Love, Matthew

Students Help Downtown Businesses Deck the Halls
More than 300 students from all
Vineland Public Schools, private and
parochial schools in the community
worked together to brighten downtown
businesses for the holiday season,
according to John and Denise Procopio,
coordinators of the project.
The event, now in its third year, is
intended to establish and build strong
relationships between the schools, stu-
dents, businesses and community as a
whole, according to the Procopios.
The students descended on the
downtown district on November 17,
working on decorations to beautify
Christmas trees and present them in an
array of 21 business storefront win-
dows. A contest was also part of the
project, and each school's tree will be
judged based on several criteria, with
prizes awarded to the winners.
"We would like to thank Wal-Mart
and the Youth Alliance for helping us in
coordinating the donation of 25 pre-lit Christmas trees," said John Procopio.
"The support of the Vineland Board of Education, as well as contributions and
providing transportation was important to the success of this project.
Following their work in the downtown businesses, the students were treated to
pizza and soft drinks at Hanger 84, courtesy of the Vineland Downtown
Improvement District.
On November 20, visiting students from Australia also helped decorate in the
Wal-Mart Lobby, under the supervision of the Youth Alliance.
From left: Winslow students, Deanna Soto, Brooke Benvenuti, Jessica Abruscato, Emily
Jost, and Caroline Brown decorate a tree under the direction of Kara Macon-Rehm, an
art teacher, and Lauren Sherma, of the guidance office.
Cumberland County College Marks 45 Years
Assemblyman Matthew Milam, center, presents a State of New Jersey resolution
honoring Cumberland County College on its 45th anniversary to CCC President Dr.
Thomas Isekenegbe, left, and CCC Board of Trustees Chairman Charles Brett Jr.
The resolution states: "The strength and success of New Jersey, and the effectiveness
of our American society, depend upon outstanding schools of higher learning such as
Cumberland County College." About 350 students enrolled when CCC opened on October
17, 1966. Today, more than 4,000 students are enrolled during the academic year.

Cage Fighter
Continued from cover
Wreaths
Continued from cover
host of all of our
fights in 2011]. But
were getting a lot of
attention right now.
Because of that, relo-
cating may be neces-
sary, and thats
something were
exploring.
For Haydak, who
is from Cumberland
County, one of the
important things
about CFFCs ascen-
sion is taking along
some local residents
for the ride. Thats
why he has worked to make sure that he
has a Cumberland County native on
almost all of his fight cards, with many of
them signing multi-fight deals with the
company.
[Cumberland County] is where I was
born and raised, said Haydak, and Ill
always call it home. I think its important to
try to give guys in this area who have the
potential to fight an opportunity to do so.
He insists that this isnt just a charity
for locals wanting to get a start in MMA,
however. The talent pool in the area is
very strong, and thats the main reason
why he often approaches Cumberland
County guys about getting on a fight card.
We dont just put Cumberland County
guys on there that we think are average
fighters. Every guy who gets on a card is a
good fighter, said Haydak. If you look at
the fighters that weve used from this
area, they all seem to have wrestling as a
background. Wrestlers have a distinct
advantage in this sport. And the guys we
usetheyre all standout wrestlers from
back in the day, coming out of strong pro-
grams in Buena, Vineland, and Millville.
On December 10, the fight card at
Resorts will once again feature a standout
wrestler who made his name locally. Mike
Wilcox, age 24, grew up in Buena,and
wrestled at Buena Regional during his
high school years, was a collegiate nation-
al champion during his time at Delaware
Valley College. On the 10th, hell make his
professional debut against Emmanuel
Walo, an undefeated fighter who special-
izes in striking.
Wilcox made his amateur MMA debut
at Harrahs Casino on September 24, and
Haydak was in attendance to see the fight-
er he had heard was incredibly skilled.
Wilcox won in a three-round decision that
night, and Haydek was impressed.
When I first heard that Mike was
going to fight on the amateur level, I went
out to see him, said Haydak. After seeing
his raw ability, I pleaded with him to turn
pro with our show. Were blessed that hes
doing that. Hes a classic example of the
quality fighters that
come out of this
area.
For Wilcox, the
decision to take his
talents to the profes-
sional stage was a lot
more about dollars
and cents than any-
thing else. Since
graduating from col-
lege, he has worked
as a wrestling coach,
while also working
odd jobs here and there. He wanted to
continue wrestling, which is his first pas-
sion. But after seeing the dearth of
wrestling tournaments in the area, he
began to look at MMA as an alternative,
and something he could realistically pur-
sue as a career, since the possibility of
making a career out of wrestling seemed
grim.
I had been substituting, and coaching
wrestling, but not really doing anything
that I could make a career out of, said
Wilcox. I looked for jobs, but the econo-
my being what it is, it was barren out
there. So I began looking at MMA. You see
the UFC and the type of success those
guys have, and you think you might be
able to get there. I think thats where
every MMA fighter really wants to be, and
Im striving for that.
The process for getting involved in
MMA has been a bit of a whirlwind for
Wilcox. He was asked to fight on
September 24 unexpectedly, and was left
with only five weeks to train before the
fight. For the fight on December 10, hell
only have about four months of real train-
ing under his belt. Though he believes his
background as a wrestler, and the instincts
that accompany it, will suit him well, he
knows that he has a lot of work ahead of
him to get to where he wants to be.
Because Ive got the wrestling back-
ground, Ive focused a lot more on striking
in my training, said Wilcox. I dont want
to have to rely on taking a guy to the
ground to win a fight. Its about becoming
a more well-rounded fighter. Im training
hard, and six months from now, I hope to
be at a point where I could kick the crap
out of the fighter I am right now.
But will the hurried nature of his
preparation for the fight and his lack of
real experience be detrimental to his per-
formance at his debut?
When I think of fighting, I think of
everything being all out, and its all about
my training versus his training, my ability
versus his ability, my diet versus his diet,
he said. Im ready to go. People think Im
rushing into it a little bit, but I expect to
win this fight. Not that Im taking him
lightly, but I dont expect him to come out
and roll over me. Nine times out of 10, I
beat this guy.
Haydak says that Wilcox has a good
chance to hold his own in the cage, if not
now, then in the future.
I know Mikey is a very accomplished
wrestler, said Haydak. His hands have
improved drastically in trainingIve seen
that firsthand. Sometimes, Im tempted to
think hes absolutely going to annihilate
somebody, but I need to keep in mind that
the other guy is a professional, too. The
other guy is there because he can fight. I
think Mike can do very well, even if it
takes some time.
On December 10, fans will get the
opportunity to see if Wilcox can be the
next Cumberland County guy to become a
long time fixture in the world of profes-
sional MMA. I
The cemetery is no longer active with the
burials having taken place from 1900 to
1966. Many of the tombstones in this ceme-
tery have the service of the veteran etched
in granite. Surprising to me is the fact that
the service record of the husband of many
of the widows is included on her stone if he
is not buried there.
This is the final resting place of many
Civil War veterans. Buried there are over
120 married couples who lived through this
tragic war as well as vets without spouses.
Many widows of Civil War soldiers are also
buried here. Unfortunately, there is no his-
tory placed on the monuments. Perhaps
their spouses did not survive battle and
were buried where they fell. We will proba-
bly never know.
It is always interesting to discover infor-
mation from tombstones. For instance, there
are several Civil War veterans who served
with colored units. These units played a
significant part during this war that went
virtually untold for many years. This was
also a time when many women served sig-
nificant roles but were not recognized.
There is one exception found here: MaryA.
Richardson.
Mary and her husband David are buried
side by side. David served with Company F
of the 13th Regiment of the New Jersey
Infantry. On Marys stone is inscribed A
nurse in the Civil War although there is no
indication that it was military service.
Monuments remembering veterans from
the Spanish American War, World War I
and a few from World War II are also found
in the cemetery. Im sure each has a fasci-
nating story.
Each of the graves in this cemetery has
been documented on www.findagrave.com,
along with pictures of the tombstones. A
copy of the documentation has also been
donated to the Genealogical Society of New
Jersey and the Vineland Historical and
Antiquarian Society. I Carol D. Parks

Franklin Township Library Visits Delsea Students
Franklin Township Public Library Director Denise Saia and Administrative
Assistant Linda McBride visited Delsea High School recently. During their visit to
the ninth graders, they shared examples of childrens stories and possible topics
that the students could use for their service learning project. The ninth graders
will be writing and illustrating a childrens story that will be shared with children
from the local elementary schools in a Read Across America celebration. In addi-
tion, the books that the students write are also placed in the Franklin Township

Students Briefed on Political, Military Situations
Students in Mrs. Terry Kuhnreich's classes at Vineland High School South
received firsthand information on political and military experiences from two visi-
tors recently. U.S. Army Master Sgt. Jose Ramos visited Kuhnreich's U.S. History
classes to discuss his military experiences and views on the current situation in
Iraq. Master Sgt. Ramos is a retired presidential honor guard who served under
four U.S. Presidents. Master Sgt. Ramos is the father of Jazmin Ramos, a VHS
senior who is a student in Mrs. Kuhnreich's class.
The second visitor was recently retired Staff Sgt. John Boykin of the U.S.
Army's 82nd Airborne division. The 82nd Airborne is an active airborne infantry
division of the Army specializing in parachute landing operations.
Staff Sgt. Boykin spoke to Kuhnreich's Search for Conscience classes about
the genocides in Bosnia and the Congo. He explained how difficult it was to see
the carnage left by those committing ethnic cleansing and how he is still haunt-
ed by those images. Staff Sgt. Boykin also fought in the Persian Gulf and has
more recently been deployed to Sinai and Panama.
He currently lives in New York, but visits his stepdaughter Ardena Moses as
often as possible. Ardena is currently a senior at VHS.

Harlem Globetrotter at Vineland Middle Schools
Seth Franco, the first
Caucasian Harlem
Globetrotter since 1942,
spoke to students, staff
and parents at Rossi
School on October 24,
one of many school and
district programs with
an anti-bullying and
motivational message.
Franco's appearance
at Rossi, and Vineland's
other three middle
schoolsLandis,
Veterans Memorial, and
Wallacewas co-spon-
sored by the South
Jersey Youth Alliance.
Franco, named a
Globetrotter in 2003,
now travels the world
inspiring others to "bounce back" from hardship and to "live big dreams." Franco
is well qualified to speak on those subjects, having recovered from a crippling
leg injury during his college career and during that time learning deft hand
moves with a basketball. Those tricks eventually landed him a movie role and an
audition that led to his coveted spot on the Globetrotters.
Now, Franco shares the stage with the likes of Kobe Byrant, LeBron James,
Dwayne Wade, and other NBA All Stars. He has appeared on ESPN, BET, TNT,
MSNBC, and Comedy Central. He still works with the Globetrotters, as well as
Universal Studios, the NBA, and The US Department of Education.
"We were thrilled to have Seth visit us and deliver his anti-bullying, life-affirm-
ing message," said Mrs. Tammy Monahan, Rossi principal. "After speaking with
the students and staff, I believe his appearance will have a positive impact on
student behavior and the overall educational environment at Rossi."
Mrs. Monahan and two studentsJustin Malme and Brianna Acostawere
also treated to a quick lesson on one of Franco's many ball handling tricksbal-
ancing a spinning basketball on their fingers, to the delight of the crowd in the
school's all-purpose room.
It was a busy day for Franco, speaking to different groups of students during
the day, addressing the staff for an hour later in the afternoon and then a one-
hour session with parents in the evening.
Seth Franco, a member of the Harlem Globetrotters since 2003, speaks during an
assembly at Rossi School in Vineland.

Lenape Native American Demonstration
St. Mary Magdalen Regional School held a Native American demonstration
recenty. Native American Kevin Two Steps from the Lenape tribe visited the
school, and through singing, dancing, and storytelling explained the old legends
of animal tales.
With the use of hundreds of artifacts, some 10,000 years old plus tables filled
with ancient tools and games dating back thousands of years SMMRS students
learned about the Lenape culture. There was also a demonstration area showing
toolmaking, fishing techniques, leather work and other crafts.
Kevin Two Steps during his recent presentation at St. Mary Magdalen Regional School,
telling pre-K through second grade students an animal tale about the first time birds
flew south for the winter and how turtles got a line down the back of their shells.
VHS Students Learn to Bury the Hatchet
Students in the Native American history classes of Beverly Messore have been
studying the Iroquois tribes, specifically the Iroquois Confederacy, which was a
group of five united tribes. As a sign of this unity, the tribes "buried the hatchet,"
burying their weapons and planting on the spot a white pine tree, the "Tree of
Peace." Classes recreated this event for Respect Week by burying negative
actions and behavior.

T
he Greater Vineland Chamber of Commerce welcomed guest
speaker Christine Stearns to its monthly luncheon on Friday,
November 18, at Ramada Inn of Vineland. Stearns, vice pres-
ident of health and legal affairs with NJ Business & Industry
Association, shed some light on what New Jersey business owners
need to know about federal healthcare reform. She started with the
obvious: Coverage can be costly...and confusing.
Premiums have been climbing faster than employee wages,
she said, with the cost of family coverage increasing faster than
that of single coverage.
Stearns outlined some early changes, as well as changes to go into effect in 2013 and
2014, when the biggest changethe launch of the health insurance exchangeis
scheduled to go into effect.
The luncheon was sponsored by Bayada, Comcast, and South Jersey Healthcare. I
