Teens in a Time of Tumult
{ STORY AND PHOTOS BY MICKEY BRANDT }

T
hey were raised during the Depression
and World War II shaped their high
school years. They had an early gradua-
tion so boys could enlist. There was no senior
prom or class trip because of the wartime emer-
gency. A few classmates paid the ultimate price
during their service.
They are the Vineland High School Class of
1943 and, last week, 17 members celebrated at
their 70th Reunion at Martin's Custom Catering
in Landisville. The 232-member class graduated
during one of the most tumultuous and danger-
ous times in world history, but a lot of what they
recalled was normal teen behavior of the era.
Junie Quinesso organized the event and
emceed the program following the afternoon
buffet. He told a tale of he and a friend wanting
to get to North Jersey to see Frank Sinatra just
after the legendary singer left Tommy Dorsey's
band for a solo career. They didn't see being in
school as a barriercutting the rest of the day
was the only option. They had trouble getting
into the alcohol-serving club, but persisted and
saw the show.

or the last six years, Gus Leon had been renting a
small room in his fathers house in Bridgeton to
serve as home for his wife and five-year-old
daughter. The living circumstances werent ideal for a
working man with a full-time job and a family. But life
often gets in the way, and the Leons were unable to
manage finding a house of their own.
That all changed this past Saturday, thanks to the
Cumberland County Habitat for Humanity.
For the last 24 years, Habitat for Humanity has been
providing deserving families in Cumberland County
with a modest place to call home. This year, the Leon
family was the fortunate recipient of a three-bedroom
cottage, located at the corner of Regina Elena Avenue
and Delsea Drive in Vineland.
While many believe that Habitat simply donates these
houses to families out of charity, that is not the case.
A lot of people think that we just give the house to
the family, said Robert Scarpa, executive director of
the Cumberland County Habitat for Humanity. Thats
a big misconception. We dont just give the house to the
family. Its a hand up, not a handout.
Each family that is awarded a Habitat for Humanity
house is subjected to a rigorous review process. To
even qualify, the families have to exhibit three things.
First, they have to have a true need for housing.
Were looking for people who are living in what we
call substandard housing, said Scarpa. Thats a pretty
word for slums. Were looking for families that are liv-
ing in garages, or sheds. Families living in attics or in a

O
ne of the important visual com-
ponents of any citys revitaliza-
tion project is having an attrac-
tive streetscape to make a down-
town area inviting to residents and guests. A
streetscape is the panoramic viewof a side
of a block or group of blocks. It shows how
the buildings and lots line up. Buildings in a
downtown not only should be attractive in
their own right but, taken together, should
contribute to a cohesive whole.
I mention this concept because two
events are taking placealmost simultane-
ouslyto alter the streetscape on the 600
block of Landis Avenue. Both show the
balance that must be maintained in revital-
ization between economic development
and preservation.
The old Precision Watch and Clock
building and adjacent building are going to
be demolished soon. Many may have fond
memories of buying a clock or a watch
there years ago; the faade had become
somewhat of an icon of our downtown. The
building, long vacant, had fallen on hard
times, however, and has become unstable
and a safety hazard. Under the circum-
stances, the building must come down.
Across the street, renovation is taking
place on a building that used to house a
RiteAid drugstore. In stripping away the
remnants of the RiteAid faade, a ghost of
the past was unearthedthe top part of the
original faade with the words Grant
Building. This discovery brought back a
flood of memories to the time when down-
towns like Vineland had a W.T. Grant, J.C.
Penney, F.W. Woolworth, J.J. Newberry,
and other such stores as anchor businesses.
Discussion is taking place to see if part of
the original faade can be preserved and
worked into the newdesign for the building.
Lets look at our streetscape as if it were
a set of teeth. In the case of the Precision
Watch and Clock building, the demolition
of a building leaves a gaping holesimilar
to the extraction of a tooth. Buildings
should not be torn down without all due
consideration. When an old building is lost,
a piece of the towns history is lost, also.
Like a gap in a set of teeth, it disrupts the
sense of continuity. A building may fall on
hard times, however, due to wear-and-tear,
the adverse effects of weather, outmoded
construction, neglect, or a combination of
these. The costs of restoration are weighed
again those of demolitionsimilar to a
decision as to whether a decayed tooth
should be saved or pulled. Sometimes, the
right decision is made and sometimes hind-
sight may show us that another decision
should have been made.
In the case of the RiteAid building, a
part of our downtowns rich historylong
hiddenmay live on to regain its proud
place in our downtown streetscape. It is
preservation of the best of that buildings
history, while revitalizing that building for
the present and future. Continuing our
analogy, the old tooth was found to have
plenty of life in it and has been saved.
As property owners, business owners,
and concerned residents, we should see to
it that our downtown buildings are not left
to deteriorate but are maintained, whenev-
er possible. A lot of history can lie hidden
in these old buildingshistory that con-
tributes to the story of Vineland. I

Mark Melamed, Beloved Teacher, Humanitarian,
Stage Director, Dies At Age 56
Mark Melamed, a beloved teacher, humanitarian and
director of countless school stage productions over a career
spanning three decades, died on June 15 after a heroic 11-
month battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 56.
In addition to his long career teaching social studies to
students at Veterans Memorial School, and thousands of
hours training others to perform on stage, Melamed founded
The Gabriel Project, a humanitarian organization that raises
money to pay for life-saving surgery for children all over the
world. Since 1990, the organization has also helped local children who need sur-
gery and whose families cannot afford it.
Proving his dedication to the well known show business phrase, "the show
must go on," Mr. Melamed directed The Vineland Public Schools All-Middle
School Play "Broadway Classics Revisited," just this past April, although serious-
ly ill and undergoing chemotherapy.
In an emotional ceremony on April 19, the stage in the school's auditorium
was named and a bronze plaque was presented in honor of Melamed.
Following that ceremony, there was an outpouring of love for Melamed on the
VPS Facebook page. One post in particular read, "Just has one of those untiring,
creative, loving souls and the world IS a better place because of him."
In Loving Memory
For Rose Disanti
June 16, 1922 - June 16, 2011
My beautiful Mom, its been two years since you left us. It
was so hard to say goodbye to you, my best friend, my rock
and my confidant. I think of you every day and will not be
complete until we are reunited again.
Love you forever,

Vineland Code Enforcement
Effort Showing Results
City of Vineland Code Enforcement
inspectors are on the lookout for over-
grown grass and weeds as part of Mayor
Ruben Bermudezs Discover The
Difference initiative. Since the citywide
beautification component of the campaign
started in April, city inspectors have com-
pleted 26 force abatements, have issued 10
summonses, and have another 20 cases
pending.
The municipal code calls it a violation
to have grass or weeds over eight inches
tall, said Code Enforcement Officer
Robert Adams. Not only are properties
with overgrown weeds, grass, and other
vegetation a nuisance, they can be a breed-

CDI Announces Upgrade of
Discovery ST PET/CT Scanner
The Center for Diagnostic Imaging
(CDI) has incorporated one the most
advanced diagnostic tools for helping
physicians reach confident diagnoses to
provide the best patient care. The new
Discovery ST PET/CT scanner from GE
Healthcare delivers high-quality images
with both speed and accuracy.
The Discover ST leads the way with
technological advancements, said Dr. Ajay
Munjal of CDI, who said the Discovery ST
enables CDI to provide an accurate diag-
nosis, helping physicians and patients
develop better treatment plans through:
Improved lesion detectability
Faster scan times
Requires half the dose
The Discovery ST enables CDI to adapt
the equipment to the specific needs of
individual patients. The Discovery ST
gives physicians the choice of both 2D and
3D scanning, allowing them to match the
exam to the physical and clinical needs of
patients.
Positron emission tomography/comput-
ed tomography (PET/CT) is a medical
imaging device that combines Positron
Emission Tomography and an x-ray
Computed Tomography, so that both
images acquired during a scan can com-
bined into a single image. PET/CT imaging
revolutionized many fields of medical
diagnosis, including oncology, radiation
therapy and cancer staging.
CDI was able to bring the first
PET/CT to Cumberland County. Now we
are proud to be the first to bring next gen-
eration of PET/CT, said Dr. Munjal. I

Clean Communities
Program Gets a Boost
from Students
As a member of the City of Vineland
Clean Communities Program, a group
from the Gloria M. Sabater Elementary
School on S. East Boulevard is doing their
part to keep the school and surrounding
area attractive and trash free. Last week
one class of fifth graders in Ms. Riveras
Special Education class, who are not part
of the regular group, took on a special
project and planted flowers in garden
areas at the entrance to the school.
According to Ms. Rivera, An important
Sabater Elementary School students clear
weeds in one of the garden areas prior to
planting flowers supplied by the Vineland
Clean Communities Program. The garden
area just after the flowers were planted.

component of what we do is teaching life
skills to the children, like respect and team-
work. We are always looking for fun activi-
ties to demonstrate these important les-
sons. My assistant, Emily Chandler, sug-
gested the Clean Communities Program
provided a good opportunity for the chil-
dren to work together as a group and learn
about having respect for their environment
and the community they live in. Since we
had an existing group from the school
which had joined the program, it seemed
like a perfect fit. So I spoke with one of the
teachers involved, Renee Sikking, and she
put us in touch with Sharon Flaim who
coordinates the program.
It is important to teach children about
protecting the environment, recycling, and
maintaining pride in our community, Ms.
Chandler said. Ms. Rivera believes one of
the best ways to teach a message is
through participation. In addition to this
planting today, the children were excited
to help pick up litter around the parking
lot and school recently. I think they were
surprised that we collected four bags of
trash! Working to keep the area clean, and
planting these beautiful flowers them-
selves, teaches the students to both take
ownership of their actions and feel con-
nected to the process. It also shows we
love our school and care about the way it
looks and the way center city looks to res-
idents and visitors.
The perennial flowers planted by the
Sabater students, which were purchased
at Coias Garden Market, were provided
by the Clean Communities Program.
The Sabater Stars Grades 3, 4, and 5
Group, joined the Adopt-A-Block Program
in 2012, said Sharon Flaim, assistant
director of Solid Waste Management. We
currently have a total of 37 volunteer
groups who help keep our neighborhoods,
parks, and roadways litter free, or who
work on landscaping and beautification of
a specific public area. In 2012, they per-
formed a total of 41 clean-ups. Thanks to
all of them. Their hard work helps make
our community a cleaner and healthier
place to live.
I amso proud of our educators and
administrators who work tirelessly to pro-
vide students with a strong education, sense
of discipline, and respect for knowledge,
said Mayor Ruben Bermudez. I want to
personally thank the staff and students at
Sabater for getting engaged and helping to
make our city more attractive. The sight of
young volunteers working to clean up litter
reinforces the primary message that we
should be putting trash in its proper place
and not litter to begin with. In addition, the
work performed by all of our citizen volun-
teers helps reduce the burden on property
taxpayers for the costs of cleaning our
streets and other public areas."
I hope other individuals and groups
see this and are moved to join the Clean
Communities Program. It is an important
program and a great way for you to make a
difference in our city-wide beautification
effort, Mayor Bermudez concluded.
If your group, school, or business is
interested in joining the City of Vineland
Clean Communities Program, contact
Sharon Flaim at 794-4089 or visit the City
of Vineland website at

Extend the Beauty of
Roses with Proper Care
By Melinda Myers
Although June is national rose month,
gardeners can keep their roses healthy
and blooming all summer long. Through
proper care and a few simple strategies
both existing and new roses can continue
to look their best throughout the summer
monthsmaximizing their beauty and
enjoyment for all.
Water thoroughly whenever the top
few inches of soil are crumbly and moist.
Use soaker hoses or drip irrigation to
apply the water directly to the soil where
it is needed. Youll lose less water to evap-
oration and reduce the risk of disease by
avoiding overhead irrigation.
Mulch the soil surface with shredded
leaves, evergreen needles or other organic
matter to conserve moisture, suppress
weeds and improve the soil as they
decompose.
Keep your plants blooming and looking
their best in spite of the heat, humidity
and pests of summer. Immunize your
plants against common environmental
stresses such as heat and drought, while
building their defenses against insects and
diseases natural defenses with an organic
plant strengthener, such as JAZ Rose
Spray <http://www.gardeners.com/Jaz-
Rose-Spray/8587297RS,default,pd.html>
(gardeners.com). Researchers discovered
when some plants are stressed they pro-
duce hundreds of molecules that help
them better tolerate environmental stress-
es as well as insect and disease attacks.
When applied to plants in the form of a
plant strengthener, the treated plants
improve their own defenses, much like
immunizations do for us. Gardeners will
notice less damage from stress, better
recovery, reduced yellow leaves, and
healthier plants overall.
Proper fertilization will help keep
roses healthy and producing lots of flow-
ers. A soil test is the best way to deter-
mine how much and what type of fertiliz-
er is best for roses growing in your land-
scape.
Check your plants throughout the sea-
son for signs of insects and disease. Early
detection makes control easier. Remove
insects or infested plant parts when discov-
ered. Look for the most eco-friendly con-
trol options when intervention is needed.
Enjoy your efforts and improve your

established plants,
but be sure to
always leave at
least two five-

the season. Allow
the plants to

gives each participant a total of $20 to pur-
chase fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs
from authorized farmers. The program is
administered locally by the Cumberland
County Office on Aging and Disabled.
This is a great program for both our
seniors and our local farm markets, said
Freeholder Carol Musso, Community
Services liaison. It provides the healthi-
est and best produce in the nation to our
seniors and an expanded awareness of our
wonderful farmers markets.
Vouchers will be distributed at eight
locations throughout the county on the
first two days of the program, July1 and
July 2. After that, they will be available
daily at permanent locations in Bridgeton,
Millville and Vineland.
The vouchers are available to
Cumberland County residents, ages 60
and older who meet income guidelines
based on household size.

DINING OUT
From fine dining to lunch spots to bak-
eries, the area has choices to satisfy any
appetite. Call for hours.
There was a different show the next day.
We had to go to the principal's office.
Miss (Mary) Rossi really gave it to me,
Junie said. But when I got home I got it
much worse.
Alda (Venturi) Garcia and Theresa
(Quairoli) Panichello left school early one
day because they were dying to see The
Hunchback of Notre Dame at the Landis
Theater. They wrote fake notes from each
other's moms. Theresa had to write in
Italian because school officials knew that
was Alda's mother's language. The show
got out at 3 p.m. just in time for them to
pretend they were coming home from
school and the girls didn't get caught for
that one.
Theresa urged members of the crowd
to come out dancing this summer during
the band concerts now beginning in the
area.
She said to the reporter, All our dates
aren't with the doctors you know.
(Theresa's the one who, while the
group posed for photos, suggested they
say sex instead of cheese.)
Junie told the crowd he had a newdance.
It's called the arthritic tango; show up and
you can dance with me, he suggested.
Elsie (Carlton) Scattergood, in the spir-
it of levity, told how she had to drop out of
high school to tend to her ill mother and
six younger sisters.
I learned quickly how to sew, cook,
and clean... and I'm still doing it, she said.
(Elsie later earned an equivalency certifi-
cate and graduated from the seminary at
American University).
Dominick Paris declined to tell any sto-
ries. I don't have anything to say, I was
very shy in high school, he said as the
room rippled with laughter.
With little effort, the reporter got him to
open up in a discussion about the school's
football team. I didn't play...I had to pick
sweet potatoes, the husky 88-year-old said.
Besides, I was only 140 pounds at the time.
Some reminisces were more poignant.
Josephine Pagano, who wanted to have her
name recorded as Joanne in the story, she
said, so no one would know the year she
graduated, initially talked about a graduation
party where her father Stephen surrepti-
tiously pouredall their whiskey downthe sink.
She continued, Jack Unsworth was
there. We never saw him again; he was
killed in the war.
The 92-year-old Lou Lechner drove his
wife, Rosetta, to the reunion. They were
married in 1946.
Rosetta said she came because I know
I won't make the next one.
Carmella Guibitosi, who operated a
home sewing and fashion design business
for 67 years, echoed Rosetta. I had to see
how many of us were left, she said.
Despite the realistic comments and the
presence of a few walkers and canes in the
room, if you just came in, you would not
guess that this was a gathering of such
elderly seniors. There was just too much
life and laughter.
Lisa Gambino accompanied her moth-
er, Rosetta (DeFalco) Gambino and said
she met a roomful of wonderful, down-to-
earth people.
Rosetta Gambino said, I'm very proud
to be a part of the Class of 1943. I

Vintage Vineland { VINCE FARINACCIO }
Atlantic Street House
A circa-1860s home in Bridgeton housed a politcally active group more than a
century later.
S
outh of the
Cumberland County
Courthouse,
Bridgetons Atlantic
Street can be viewed today as
a historic museum of sorts. Its
several blocks, adorned with
rows of homes dating from the
previous two centuries, offer a
mlange of architectural styles
and tastes. Because of their
expansive framework, some
dwellings have been converted
into duplexes. Another pro-
vides lodging for a tax service.
But there is one that draws
immediate attention, its red-
brick faade, blue shutters and
white trim mirroring the
American flag that flutters lazi-
ly in a light morning breeze.
This is 138 Atlantic Street.
The house is part of the
Cumberland County
Historical Register and its
current owners, Fred and
Debbie Miller, were honored
by the city last November for the renova-
tions theyve made to this Victorian struc-
ture over the past 24 years. According to
Mrs. Miller, the restoration has been an
ongoing project for their abode, which
was constructed in 1862 by Isaac Mulford,
one of Bridgetons early entrepreneurs.
Mulford, who created Atlantic Street
and filled the wheat fields at the southern
end of the road with homes, built this res-
idence for himself on the southwest cor-
ner of Atlantic and Vine streets. It was
handed down to the next generation and
earned the name Mulford House. And it
was still referred to by that moniker in
1973 when a small group of politically
minded Vineland and Bridgeton residents
selected it as the place to establish a com-
mune. Once they moved in, the location
received its second title: Atlantic Street
House.
For the various members who assem-
bled under its roof from 1973 until 1980,
Atlantic Street House, or ASH as the for-
mer residents still refer to it, was both a
physical site and an ideological mission.
Its clear that the time spent there was a
seminal period for those involved. This
year, throughout the month of March,
eight former members of ASH emailed
answers to a series of questions and fol-
low-up queries, patiently responding from
locations as close as Cumberland County
and as far away as California, to recon-
struct the life they led in a 1970s
Bridgeton commune. And what emerged
from those replies was more than simply
information. With each new email, it
became obvious that their high regard for
those communal years is equally matched
by the affection they still have for each
other 40 years later.
The story of ASH has its origins in the
turbulence and divisiveness the Vietnam
War engendered. Decades before partisan
politics formed the wedge separating
Americans, issues like Vietnam polarized
our nation. Unlike todays military, com-
prised of individuals who have volun-
teered to serve, soldiers in the late
1960s/early 1970s were randomly chosen
by a draft. When coalitions such as the
National Mobilization to End the War in
Vietnam, or the Mobe, conducted rallies
throughout the U.S. from 1967 to 1969, a
generations voice was heard.
It was a 1969 Mobe demonstration that
united the original four adult members of
ASH, Ed Nakawatase, Margaret DeMarco
and Cecilia and Dave Fava. All four of us
were actively opposed to the U.S.s war in
Vietnam, Nakawatase explained. In
1969, after participating in the huge
November 15 mobilization against the war
in Washington, we helped form a local
group that we called the Tri-County
Mobilization Against the War in Vietnam
[involving the counties of Cumberland,
Salem, and Gloucester]. The Mobe was a
very active organization that drew the
energies of many local young people, cer-
tainly us, in the struggle against the war.
We picketed the local draft board many
times, held rallies and vigils, organized a
booth at the Cumberland County Fair two
summers in a row, participated in any local
cable TV program or forum that agreed to
have us, wrote letters to local papers and
leafleted everywhere. In short, we did
everything we could to help end what we
believed was an immoral, racist war.
But Nakawatase feels that the anti-war
effort represented only a portion of this
quartets goals, explaining, As we worked
together against the war, we did so as part
of a larger vision, I think, of what a better
world might look like and how we could
bring it into being. I

Owner Su Chen prides herself in providing Chinese
food that is a healthy alternative. { BY RYAN DINGER }
T
here is a belief among Americans that
Chinese food is generally bad for you.
It is regularly described as greasy
and fattening, and many feel that eating it
often leaves you feel bloated and lethargic.
Su Chen is working to eradicate the
Vineland-area of this stereotype, which she
believes unfairly pigeonholes all Chinese
restaurants. Chen has been the owner/oper-
ator of Lotus Express, located in the
Cumberland Mall, since June 2002, and she
says healthiness is her chief concern when it
comes to her product.
I love it here. I help the customers to eat
healthy, said Chen during a recent visit to
the restaurant. Since being here, Ive
learned a lot about how to eat healthy. I
cook healthy and thats my main goal.
So how does Chen prevent her product
from falling under the label of glorified fast
food that so many other Chinese restaurants
have succumbed to? According to her, its all
about the ingredients and the preparation.
First, she prevents greasiness by only
steaming, baking and grilling all of her food.
Those are the only ways shell cook, accord-
ing to her.
The greasiness comes from frying, she
said. With all the oil and all that. I stay
away from that.
Secondly, Chen only uses fresh ingredients.
This is very, very important, she said.
Everything is very fresh. Fresh vegetables,
fresh meat. This is another way to keep
healthy.
Finally, Chen insists that none of her
ingredients contain trans fat or MSG, two
no-nos that are often synonymous with
Chinese food.
Its a simple formula, but it works, said
Chen. And it doesnt lose the taste either.
We never get a complaint about the taste.
All of this work to uphold a higher stan-
dard of nutrition in her product has gotten
Chen and Lotus Express some recognition
nationally. In 2008, the Chinese Restaurant
News named her Lotus Express location one
of the top 100 Chinese restaurants in the
country in terms of healthiness. Chen beams
with pride as she shows me the article.
It was a very proud moment for me, she
said.
But offering a healthy alternative to tra-
ditional Chinese food isnt the only goal for
Chen. She also strives to be a steward of cus-
tomer service. She says she loves her job,
and helping customers is a big reason why.
You know, communicating with cus-
tomers, knowing what they need, and what
they want through getting to know them, its
really a good part of the job, she said.
While the quote sounds like something
any business owner would say to a reporter,
Chen actually has an opportunity to show
that its genuine.
During our interview, she briefly has to
pause to help an older couple that comes in
the restaurant. She patiently answered their
questions, offering free samples of the dish-
es they showed interest in and explaining
the tastes and how theyre prepared as they
try them. She radiated satisfaction as they
selected a few dishes on her recommenda-
tion, not at all jaded by her 11 years of serv-
ice at Lotus Express. In fact, she possessed
the courtesy and joviality of a woman in her
first week on the job. Truly, this is a person
who relishes her work.
When she returns to the table shes smiling.
Its about the customer for me, she
said. If theyre smiling, Im smiling. They
feel good, they have good food. What a feel-
ing. Thats all you need. I

broken down car.
The families also have to have a
steady, reliable income.
Thirdly, the families need to have
good credit.
Were not looking to partner with
someone who doesnt want to better
themselves. We want hardworking people
who just cant seem to get over the hump
for home ownership, said Scarpa.
It is a long review process, usually tak-
ing about three months. During the open
enrollment for the house on Regina Elena
Avenue, 65 families applied. More than a
few met the qualifications, but it was the
Leons who stood out to the family selec-
tion committee.
I know they really impressed the
committee, said Scarpa.
For Gus, his familys selection for the
house came as a big surprise.
He received the initial application
from his aunt, and filled it out thinking
nothing of it.
I applied a couple times in the past,
and never heard anything back, he said.
After all the meetings, when they told
me we were selected, it was like a dream.
I was very shocked because this doesnt
happen to a guy like me.
Perhaps it was that shock that pow-
ered Gus and his family through the next
steps in the process, causing him to seize
the opportunity with everything he had.
Once a family is selected, the house is
still not guaranteed to them. They have
other obligations to complete before they
can move in.
We always select a backup family in
case the first one doesnt fulfill their obli-
gations, said Scarpa.
For starters, the family must collec-
tively work what Habitat calls sweat equi-
ty hours. They are expected to spend at
least 500 hours helping to construct their
house with other volunteers.
On this condition, Gus and his family
far exceeded the expectation.
Once they were selected, they started
putting in hours at a home we were build-
ing on Plum Street, said Scarpa. From
there, he and the rest of his familyinclud-
ing his dadhave been working nonstop.
Weve literally stopped counting Guss
hours. Hes far exceeded them. The Leons
have been a phenomenal partner family.
Gus explained the reasoning behind
his inexhaustible work ethic.
Its been a blessing for me and my fam-
ily, he said. That day, when I got the call,
I was very excited. I wanted to start work-
ing the next day. I wanted to make sure
that we got everything we needed to do
done so we dont lose this opportunity. It
was something very, very important. Its
going to change our lives. And I wouldnt
let that go by.
Along with their 500 sweat
equity hours, the Leons were
also required to take home
ownership and financial litera-
cy classes, which is a standard
clause in the Habitat for
Humanity partnership.
As I said, we dont just give
them the house, said Scarpa.
Habitat for Humanity sells
their partnership families the
house at a reduced ratethe
family covers the cost of build-
ing their homewith a 0%
interest, 20-year mortgage.
So in the Leon familys case,
theyre getting a house that
would cost $150K on the open
market, said Scarpa. But the
cost to build it was about $75K.
So theyre getting a $150K
house for around half price over
a 20-year mortgage. Thats why
its important to us that they
become good homeowners. We
want them to stay in the house
and build equity every time
they make a payment. We want
them to be successful.
Gus said the classes provid-
ed very useful information for
his wife and him, and helped
prepare them for whats to come.
The classes have helped us a lot, with
things like how to invest our money and
budget, Gus said. Im very lucky
because my wife, [Lizzeth], helps me a lot
to save money. And with these classes she
got even better. Now were ready for the
bills. And the bills are the first priority.
All of it was leading to Saturday, when
the Leons hard work and patience culmi-
nated with a brand new house, about a
year after learning they had been selected.
Its amazing, really. I cant believe it,
Gus said. This is the best thing that
could happen to us as a family. We found
very good people with all the volunteers,
with Robert, and with [Project Manager]
Joe Santini. And getting to know all of
them, and realizing there are very good
people out there, it means a lot and I owe
them a lot. Theyre all very special to me.
As for the house itself, Gus and his
family couldnt be more pleased.
This is the most beautiful house they
have ever built, he said, smiling from ear
to ear. I
If youre interested in volunteering at a
Habitat for Humanity worksite, call 856-563-
0292. Volunteers must be 16 years and older.
No construction experience is necessary.

Top Scholar/Athletes Honored
Five top scholar/athletes from Cumberland County high schools were hon-
ored by the Jewish War Veterans Memorial Post No. 601, on June 2, at the 40th
Annual Olympiad Awards Breakfast, at Beth Israel Congregation, in Vineland.
The ceremony, held each year since 1974 to memorialize the nine Israeli ath-
letes who were brutally murdered by Arab terrorists at the 1972 Olympic Games
in Munich, Germany, publicly recognizes and honors the top scholar/athlete
seniors from the five county high schools.
This years winners were Jovan Childers, Bridgeton High School; Michael Kurt
Strittmatter, Cumberland Regional High School; Rico Rivera, Millville High
School; Amanda Buirch, Sacred Heart High School; and Isabella Taormina,
Vineland High School.
Each received commendations and proclamations at the ceremony from
national, state, county, and local officials.
The winners, according to Post Commander Daniel Hoffman, are selected by
their respective schools, based on both scholastic and athletic achievements, as
well as leadership, cooperation, civic contributions, and all-around good citizen-
ship. The schools rely on input from guidance counselors, teachers, athletic
directors, coaches, and principals. The winning students must be seniors, must
have lettered in two or more varsity sports, and must be considered prime
examples of good citizenship and leadership.
The students are all near or at the top of their classes. A number of past
winners have been valedictorians and several have won appointments to various
United States military academies.
Surrounded by leaders of Jewish War Veterans Memorial Post No. 601, as well as rep-
resentatives from state, county, and local government are Isabella Taormina, Vineland
High School (extreme left); Amanda Buirch, Sacred Heart High School (third from left);
Rico Rivera, Millville High School (fifth from left); Michael Kurt Strittmatter,
Cumberland Regional High School (sixth from left); and Jovan Childers, Bridgeton High
School (eighth from left).

Talent Show Nets $750
For Tornado Victims
Students from Vineland High School,
many of them in the Red Cross Club,
raised $750 for victims of tornado-rav-
aged Oklahoma at a fundraiser held at
the Greenview Inn on June 4.
The two-hour event was a pleasing
mixture of talent show, garden party,
and coffee house entertainment on a
gorgeous, sun-splashed late afternoon.
The crowd swelled at times to fill the
terrace and spilled over into the foyer
of the venue's banquet hall foyer.
The Greenview Inn donated the site,
and donated endless servings of pasta,
pizza and salad plus non-alcoholic bev-
erages to those who contributed to the
relief effort. Guests paid $10 each or
$5 with a donation of non-perishable
items, which will be packed and
shipped to those who lost their homes
and all their possessions in the recent
rash of horrific storms. All the money
collected will go directly to the tornado
victims.
There were 25 acts, including vocal
and instrumental performances, dance,
and even standup comedy.
The event was conceived by Stacey
DeRose, advisor to the Red Cross Club,
with assistance from Lori Cummines,
music director at Vineland High School
South and club members.
"We try to do things for (victims of)
natural disasters and help people out,"
said Josh Carll, president of the VHS
Red Cross Club said. "We're trying not
to do just blood drives for the commu-
nity, we're trying to help everyone
around us."
Ron Franceschini, Chairman of the
Board of Directors for the Red Cross,
Southern Shore chapter, was also on
hand to lend his support.
Musical acts, including a harp performance
by Lani Bishop, standup comedy and dance
displays headlined a successful fundraiser
by the VHS Red Cross Club.
Students Celebrate Flag Day with Salute to Service
Students at Johnstone
Elementary School celebrated
Flag Day on June 14 through a
variety of events relating to the
service of our country, according
to Dr. Louise Karwowski, princi-
pal and Lucia Marone, the
school's music teacher.
The theme of the day focused
upon how community members
in uniform serve our country. A
second assembly was held that
morning as the veterans shared
their stories about the meaning
of the flag and their service to
our country.
The program ended with two students reading their essays about how they
emigrated from Mexico to Vineland and what the journey and being a resident of
our community means to them. Children sang patriotic songs throughout the
event. The audience also listened to students play "When the Saints Come
Marching In" and the band students lead by Mrs. Allan, Director of the
Elementary Band, played "Yankee Doodle"
A lunch was served to the school's special guests and a group of fifth graders
joined them to continue the conversations about community service and our flag.
Teachers and Girl Scouts served homemade food donated by the school staff,
The Black Olive Restaurant, Wheat Road Cold Cuts, Pizza Pizzazz, and Acme
Markets.
Johnstone students celebrated Flag Day in a big way, including wearing American flag
hats they made for the occasion.
