The regions business
community has fared better
than surrounding areas and
these landmark businesses
are proof-positive.
{ BY SHARON HARRIS-ZLOTNICK }
Celebrating Milestones
Scott Novick, Debby Novick, Bob Novick, and Gary Fisher will not rest on
the laurels of 40 years of success at Novick Auto Mall in Bridgeton; the
family-run business will soon begin an expansion and renovation project.
O
perating a profitable business is
demanding in the best of times.
Economic conditions since the
2008 downturn have challenged local
companies. According to Cumberland
County Planning and Economic
Development Director Kimberly Wood,
approximately 8,637 businesses5,793
are small enterprisescurrently employ
almost 61,400 people.
Wood says, Cumberland Countys
hearty business community has fared
much better during this recession than
in the surrounding region. These com-
panies are incredibly creative and bright
when planning their futures.
Three successful local companies are
celebrating milestone anniversaries this
year:
Salon Fabrojae co-owners Jaime
Pustizzi and Chelle Petit have success-
fully balanced the management of their
full-service salon. Both are licensed hair
stylist/colorists, and contribute individ-
ual skills.
Opening Salon Fabrojae in September
1992 followed an introduction from a
mutual acquaintance. In 20 years,

A
s the year is still young, I
thought this might be a good
time to provide readers with
some important reasons why it
is still important to shop local in 2012.
The list below was compiled by
ThinkColumbusFirst.com. Although the
firm is based in Ohio, the principles noted
below are applicable here as well:
Buy Local, Support yourself: Studies
show when you buy from an independent,
locally owned business, more of your
money is used to purchase from other local
businesses, service providers and farms;
this multiplier effect strengthens the eco-
nomic base of our community.
Support community groups: Non-prof-
it organizations receive an average 250 per-
cent more support from smaller business
owners than they do from large businesses.
Create more good jobs: Small local
businesses are the largest employer nation-
ally and are responsible for 70 percent of
all new jobs.
Invest in community: Local businesses
are owned by people who live in this com-
munity, are less likely to leave, and are
more invested in the communitys future.
Keep our community unique: Our one-
of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of
the distinctive character of our neighbor-
hoods and communities.
Reduce environmental impact: Locally
owned businesses make more local pur-
chases requiring less transportation and
generally set up shop in city or neighbor-
hood centers, as opposed to developing on
the fringe. This means less sprawl, conges-
tion, habitat loss and pollution.
Get better service: Local businesses
often hire people with a better understand-
ing of the products they are selling and take
more time to get to know customers.
Put your taxes to good use: Local busi-
nesses in community and neighborhood
centers require comparatively little infra-
structure investment and make more effi-
cient use of public services.
Buy what you want, not what someone
wants you to buy: A marketplace of tens of
thousands of small businesses is the best
way to ensure innovation and low prices
over the long-term.
Encourage local prosperity: Research
shows that entrepreneurs and skilled work-
ers are more likely to invest and settle in
communities that preserve their one-of-a-
kind businesses and distinctive character. I

More Reasons
To Buy Local
Here are 10 reasons to shop and buy locally.
Sound Off On Catholic School Closure Announcement
Readers of The Grapevine are encouraged to provide opinions about last weeks
announcement that three Catholic schools in Cumberland County will close at the
end of this school year. According to a letter from Bishop Joseph Galante, which was
distributed to parents of students enrolled at the schools on Friday, Sacred Heart
High School in Vineland and two regional elementary schools, Notre Dame in
Newfield and St. Mary Magdalen in Millville, will close in June.
The decision was made to deal now with long-term issues, wrote the Bishop.
Sacred Heart High School was built to accomodate 350 students, but current
enrollment stands at 202, with 67 seniors graduating in June. I am aware that
closing schools results in disappointment, sadness and even feelings of anger, the
Bishop continued. That is why this decision was made only after nearly a year of
careful consultation with parish and schools leadership. Please be aware that the
goal of these changes is to ensure a stable and, we hope, thriving Catholic school
education in the Cumberland County area for the future.
Readers can submit (to the e-mail or postal addresses at right) general reactions to
the news, opinions about declining enrollment in Catholic schools, thoughts about the
social media groups formed over the weekend to attempt to save the schools, or com-
ments about what the schools have meant to the community. All submissions must
include the senders name, address and phone number (for verification purposes).

STRAIGHTENING TEETH HAS COME A LONG WAY. Braces work. Yet,
even though they come in bright colors these days, the brackets and steel wires still
work the same way. Food still gets stuck in them. Flossing and brushing are an
adventure. And, when youre a teenager sporting a mouthful of metal, easy and
condent smiles can be hard to come by.
ALL SMILES. NO SACRIFICES. Back when we were teenagers, putting up with the
hassles of braces and feeling self-conscious about wearing them were necessary in order to get
the smile you wanted. For todays teens, getting through those formative years can be a little
tougher. Thankfully, straightening their teeth with Invisalign Teen
TM
is a lot easier.
THE ADVANTAGES ARE CLEAR. Invisalign Teen is a series of virtually invisible
aligners that gradually straighten your teens teeth. And because theyre removable, proper
dental hygiene is a cinch. Since most people wont even know your teen is wearing Invisalign,
theyll have the condence to keep on smiling. Best of all, treatment costs about as much
as braces, and fewer doctor visits take up less of your time. Our aligners
even include a color-coded indicator that tells you how long your teens
been wearing them.
FIND OUT WHY MORE AND MORE MOMS ARE CHOOSING INVISALIGN TEEN.
Choosing how to straighten your teens teeth is a big decision. Visit our
website to see what other teenagers and their parents have to say about
us. Then take a few moments to take our Self Assessment together with
your teenager.
Invisalign Teen will help give your teenager the condence of a great
smileand theyll love you for it along the way.
IS IT TIME TO RETHINK BRACES

The YMCA of Vineland recently added two new
members to its Board of DirectorsMichele

have extensive experience in the community and
with young people.

Jersey Commercial Lending at Sun National Bank,
where she has worked for 16 years. Her total bank-
ing experience encompasses over 23 years. She
holds a Bachelors degree in Finance from Stockton
College. She has also been active in her childrens
schools, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and scouting. She

her husband, John, and their two sons.
A Widener University graduate, Parrish has lived

Family Donates Bottle Caps To Soroptimist Club
The Sotomayor family, spearheaded
by 11-year-old daughter Amaris, recent-
ly collected and donated over 10,000
bottle caps for Soroptimist
International. The family presented the
bottle caps to the organization at a
recent Vineland Service Clubs Council
meeting as part of an environmental
project. After the bottle caps are col-
lected, Soropotimist brings them to a
beauty supply company which, in turn,
recycles the bottle caps and makes
plastic bottles out of them. Pictured here, from left: Vineland Service Clubs
Council President Chris Volker; Chrissy Pompper of Soroptimist International;

Vintage Vineland { VINCE FARINACCIO }
Mrs. Landis
Several mysteries surround how Charles K. met and
married Clara Meade, his relations with her family,
and their life together in Vineland.
T
here is a mystery that pervades
the persona of Clara Landis, wife
of Vineland founder Charles K.
Landis. Except for the fleeting
notoriety when her husband defended her
honor by shooting newspaper editor Uri
Carruth over a defamatory article, she
seems to have been fairly invisible. Her
absence from the family gravesite in Siloam
Cemetery, where Landis, his parents and his
sister are interred, is conspicuous, an omis-
sion that can feed the imagination of the
curious and speculative. But the enigma that
is Clara Landis can be somewhat explained.
Claras family background has been well-
documented due to the prestigious military
careers of her father, uncle, and brothers.
Claras father, Richard Worsam Meade II,
was the officer who led the boarding party
when the U. S. seized control of Amistad and
served as commander of the Receiving Ship
in New York during the Civil War. Uncle
George Gordon Meade secured his reputa-
tion at the Battle of Gettysburg, defeating
Confederate troops under the command of
General Robert E. Lee. Her brother Richard
Worsam Meade III, along with sibling
Henry, served in the Navy, eventually achiev-
ing the title of Rear Admiral, while another
brother Robert became a Brigadier General
in the U.S. Marine Corps.
The specifics detailing how, where and
when Landis met his wife seem to be lost to
us, but there are fragments of news and
legal documents that can piece together
part of their story. Landis spent the first six
years of Vinelands existence advertising
and developing the town, but in 1868,
according to the New York Evening
Telegram, he visited Brooklyn, encountered
Meade and married her on October 14.
According to the New Jersey Law Journal,
the couple eloped, but online sources state
that they were married in Staten Island at
the home of the brides uncle, Charles A.
Meigs. However, Claras father strongly dis-
approved of Landis and made his feelings
public. The New York Times reported that
Mr. Meade chased Vinelands founder with
a shotgun and for years after threatened to
shoot him on sight. No explanations were
given as to why the retired military officer
found offense with Landis.
Landis undoubtedly valued his achieve-
ments in Vineland and apparently felt it nec-
essary to protect them, even within the
bonds of marriage. An entry in the book Acts
of the Legislature of the State of New Jersey
reveals that eight days prior to the wedding,
Landis filed a pre-nuptial agreement. The
document clearly states that Clara agreed to
the stipulations that presented a valid and
effectual bar to any claim of dowerin the
real estate of the said Charles K. Landis,
made it lawful for Landis to to make and
execute deeds of conveyance for all lands
and real estate held by him during said
coverture (sic) without the said Clara joining
in said deeds and all and guaranteed his
land holdings at the time of marriage and
any he may hereafter acquire shall be held
by him and the respective purchasers of the
same, or any parcel thereof, free and dis-
charged of and from all claim and dower
therein by the said Clara F. Landis.
The couple settled in Vineland and on
September 1, 1869 of the following year, cele-
brated the birth of a son, Henry Meigs,
named after Claras brother. The infant died
on August 15, 1870 and various sources have
reported that this had a devastating effect on
Clara. On March 28, 1871, Charles K Landis
Jr. was born. The couples third son, Richard,
entered the world on March 22, 1873.
Raising a family was an important part
of the couples life in the early 1870s, but by
1874 Landis found it necessary to travel to
Europe where he spent considerable time
touring Italy, the British Isles and the
Germanic regions and promoting Vineland
as an ideal spot for farming for any Italians
wishing to relocate to America. His diaries
reveal that he enjoyed the sights, read liter-
ature and conducted his marketing in a
relaxed fashion. His entries profess no guilt
or regrets at missing the christening of the
new Vineland High School building and
President Ulysses S. Grants visit here, but
he seems consistently interested in the
goings on of his hometown, a place that
would not provide him much happiness
over the next year. I

Called a nest of comforts, Salon Fabrojae
provides multiple affordable beauty and skin
services for women and men. It is also a one-
stop destination for wedding party hair
styling, beauty treatments and makeup.
Pustizzi says, Our salons appeal is our
good service, consistent quality work and
warm environment. Excluding Sunday, we are
open daily, so anyone needing a service is
assured of a same-day appointment with one
of our professionals. Clients never feel pres-
sured, and we invite everyone to enjoy our
friendly, sociable atmosphere.
Despite a tough economy, Salon Fabrojae
has continually upgraded its facility. As an
Aveda concept salon with a retail section,
clients may test products and take samples to
try at home. Pustizzi and Petit have tripled the
makeup section to accommodate larger par-
ties. They also recently added Wi-Fi capability
to allow clients to use their own electronics.
Pustizzi says, We wanted to make it easier
for our clients to be productive or entertained
whenever they are here.

When Bob Novick opened his General Motors
and Chrysler dealership in 1971, 25 dealerships
were in the Vineland-Bridgeton-Millville tri-
city area. After 40 years of hard work and ded-
ication to offering a quality product and good
service, Bob Novick's operation remains one of
10 throughout the entire county.
His original staff of 21 has increased to 49
full and part time employees. Two generations
of the Novick family currently oversee the
eight individual auto franchises, which
include Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC,
Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and RAM.
Thanks to sustained sales and service
growth since 2010, the Novick family will
expand its facility this year after more than 60
years in the same location. The improvements
will enhance the auto and truck buying expe-
rience for customers in Cumberland, Salem
and Gloucester counties.
Work on the Novick Auto Mall complex
will begin once contractor Ogren
Construction Company secures all appropri-
ate permits. The 10-month renovation and
construction project will produce a new,
upgraded service drive-in, plus separate wel-
coming reception and waiting areas.
Showroom offices will have more customer-
friendly designs, and attractive displays will
appear throughout the showroom. A modern
General Motors motif will appear on the
updated contemporary exterior.
Novick wants to positively impact the local
community. He says, The construction will
be completed in phases to minimize any dis-
ruptions in operations. Our expansion will
offer employment opportunities in the months
ahead to meet the ongoing growth of the auto-
motive market.

In 1962, renowned artist Pat Witt transformed
her passion into a vocation by opening the
Barn Studio of Art in Millville. A native of
Cumberland Countys Delaware Bay, the inter-
nationally acclaimed Witt is called the
Wetlands Painter to reflect her preferred
mediums, opaque watercolor and oils.
Witt has devoted her life to art, beginning
as a 10-year-old student in 1937. She has since
studied, painted and exhibited her artwork
worldwide. For 50 years, Witt has inspired
four generations of budding artists, ages three
to 100, who have honed their skills in The
Barns rustic studio facility.
To ensure The Barns future without the
family on site, Witt, her daughters Carole
Mankin and Nancy Mulick, plus granddaugh-
ter Kelly, converted the facility into a non-
profit organization in 2007. The Barns volun-
tary five-member executive board and 20-
member advisory board work to protect its
operations for future generations. Year-round
classes are taught by Witts eight personally
selected instructors. All former students, their
careers revolve around art.
This fine arts academy is a core of the
community. Its been an honor to impact so
many peoples lives in such a life-changing
way, Mankin says.
To commemorate 50 years as South
Jerseys Premier Fine Arts Academy, five years
as a nonprofit and Pat Witts 85th birthday on
February 10, The Barns fundraising Beaux
Arts Ball is scheduled for Saturday, March 17,
at The Centerton Country Club. The semi-for-
mal dinner dance will include live music, a
cocktail reception, sit down dinner and silent
auction. Tickets are $85, and are available
online or by phone.

100 YEARS OR MORE
BARRETTA PLUMBING HEATING AND
COOLING, a provider of service and installa-
tion of commercial and residential plumbing
and mechanical systems, was established in
1896 by John C. Barretta, whose family came
to Vineland in 1866. Similar to today, the econ-
omy was in recovery from the Panic of 1893.
Locally, Vineland was an expanding area.
The business employed two people when
it started; today there are 23 employees. John
C. Barretta ran the business from 1896 until
his death in 1948, when his son John M
Barretta took over. In 1962, Jack Barretta
became the third-generation owner, and con-
centration on heating and cooling helped
expand the business. John Barretta became
the fourth-generation owner in 2004.
Technology and innovation have changed
the industry over the years, particularly in the
heating and cooling areas. Energy efficient,
clean, comfortable systems are in demand and
often incentivised by government and manu-
facturers programs. Keeping up with industry
changes has helped Barretta Plumbing
Heating and Cooling remain the successful
venture Mr. Barretta hoped it would be 116
years ago. Family members committment to
working together has also been an important
factor in the business longevity.
Currently, the business climate for con-
tractors is difficult. The decline in new con-
struction has led to tighter margins and in
some cases layoffs. Poor economic conditions
over the past several years have had an effect

ties and employment.
CENTURY SAVINGS BANK is celebrating
its 147th anniversary year in 2012 by continu-
ing its history of growth and giving. Since its
beginnings in 1865, Century Savings Bank has
grown from a small building and loan associa-
tion with just a few thousand dollars in
assets, to a multi-million dollar, friendly
financial force in our community- boasting a
current bottom line of more than $349 mil-
lion in assets.
With a location on Landis Avenue and cor-
porate headquarters at Sherman Ave and
Orchard Road, the bank provides easier prox-
imity and seven-day banking to its many cus-
tomers and friends throughout Vineland and
the surrounding area.
Today, Centurys solid financial position
remains well documented, supported by
annual exams of federal regulators and con-
firmed by independent rating firms like Bauer
Financial, which for more than 22 years has
awarded Century its top Five Star rating;
and Siegfried & Brew (S&B) LLC, who named
Century Savings Bank to its honor roll of U.S.
Safest Banks.
Century Savings considers its customers
and associates to be its greatest asset, individ-
uals who are part of businesses, industry, and
organizations that keep the wheels turning in
our area.
As a longtime banking leader in
Cumberland, Salem and Gloucester counties,
Century Savings Bank will continue to provide
excellent rates and services for personal and
business banking customers and is confident
that its products, service and understanding of
the local marketplace will result in total bank-
ing satisfaction. For more information about
Century Savings Bank, visit

STANDARD PUBLISHING, in 1892, opened
its doors at 308 S. Eighth Street in Vineland,
where it stayed until 15 years ago when it relo-
cated to a new state-of-the-art facility at 1980
Southwest Boulevard. The business grew out
of a need to produce labels for Welchs grape
juice. The business started out with five
employees and now has close to 30.
The business was founded by Elwood
Potter Howe. With a full prepress and bindery,
Standard is a full service printing company
and does a lot of work for ad agencies and
other local businesses.
75-100 YEARS
MARTINI SHOES, INC. was founded by
Frank R. Martini in 1920. The first store was
run fromthe home that he shared with his
wife, Lena, and their three children George F.,
Harry J., and Gloria Martini. It was located on
South East Avenue between Chestnut Avenue
and Cherry Street. As the business grew, Frank
moved his store to Landis Avenue in the Baker
House Hotel. After the Baker House Hotel
burned down, the store was moved to 623
Landis Avenue; George and Harry joined their
father in selling and repairing leather shoes.
Frank retired in the 1960s, with his sons
working the store until 1985, when Georges
son, Frank S. and wife Lynn took over. The
secret to their longevity, Frank says, is knowl-
edge of how to fit shoes, not just selling
shoes. He calls it good old fashioned serv-
ice,Martinis provision of superior quality
shoes and customer service.
With our name on the door, when people
come in, they know that Frank or Lynn will be
waiting on them, Lynn says.
With three generations of the Martini fam-
ily continuing the tradition for 92 years; they
have embraced every era on Landis Avenue.
Lynn notes that they have been on all the
boards that been working to bring the Avenue
and Vineland back to the thriving place it used

to be. We are happy to see those efforts com-
ing to fruitiion, she says. The opening of
Landis Marketplace and new restaurants has
been a successful shot in the arm to Landis
Avenue, bringing in lots of new out-of-town
customers who complement the beauty of our
bustling downtown.
NEWFIELD NATIONAL BANK was origi-
nally chartered in 1934 as the First National
Bank in Newfield. Since its inception, the
banks main objective has been to serve the
banking needs of Newfield, as well as
Gloucester, Cumberland and Cape May
counties. This continues to be the primary
driving force behind the bank. Being one of
the oldest and most firmly established inde-
pendent banks in the tri-county area, the
bank has built a reputation of conservative
soundness that has served it well.
Newfield National Bank began its opera-
tions in a building located at the corner of
Salem Avenue and West Boulevard. In 1969,
the Main Office at 18 West Boulevard in
Newfield was completed and occupied, and
the banks first branch office was opened in
Malaga. In 1974, Newfield National Bank ven-
tured into Vineland with a branch location at
Sixth and Landis. Other Vineland branch loca-
tions to open through the 1980s and 1990s
include the 881 North Main Road (1982) and
3535 East Landis Avenue (1995) branch loca-
tions. In total, the bank has 12 branch loca-
tions throughout the tri-county area.
Newfield National Bank is highly capital-
ized, well regulated and more opposed to risk
than big banks. Most U.S. banks, especially
community banks, are strong, safe and stable,
even during these difficult financial times.
THE YMCA OF VINELANDof the
Cumberland Cape Atlantic YMCA began in
1927 through the support of community
members; the original location was 745
Landis Avenue. It was staffed by volunteers at
that time. Today, there are more than 150 full-
and part-time employees. Not only has the
facility at 1159 East Landis Avenue been mod-
ernized, but the programs are constantly
expanding.
The Ys commitment and ties to the com-
munity have never wavered. The support of
local citizens is credited with making the
organization strong, vibrant, and ever-evolving.
In addition to the regular health and fit-
ness offerings, the YMCA provides programs
to help battle obesity, available to children,
families, and individuals, in the Y and other-
settings. The YMCA attributes its longevity
and success to the support that the communi-
ty gives it in making the area a healthier place
to live.
50-75 YEARS
ACE PLUMBING HEATING AND
ELECTRICAL. The story begins on June 1,
1950, when Charles Berman, his wife Evelyn,
and his brother Abe, founded Ace Plumbing
Supplies in a 3,200-square-foot storefront at
its present location on Delsea Drive.
Ace is said to be an acronymfor Abe,
Charles, and Evelyn. Shortly after the store
opening, Abe left the business and moved to
Atlantic City, leaving the business operation to
Charles and Evelyn. Between 1950 and 1967,
Charles Berman worked and sold product lines
including plumbing, heating, electrical, appli-
ances, cabinets, and even automotive supplies.
In 1967 their son, Larry began his career at
age 13. From 1967 to 1973, Larry worked after
school and on weekends, handling sales, pur-
chasing, and stocking shelves. When Larry
graduated from Vineland High in 1973, he was
ready to operate Ace on a full-time basis.
Fast forward to 2012: Ace is comprised of
four southern Jersey locations and nearly 50
dedicated employees. Ace services eight coun-
ties with an outside sales force, a fleet of vehi-
cles that make daily deliveries and an inside
sales staff that boasts an average of more than
20 years experience.
Ace will ship anywhere, anytime. A couple
of years ago, Ace moved into a new 50,000-
square-foot sales and distribution center that
allows them to implement state-of-the-art
material handling systems, improve service
and increase inventory. The new Showroom
encompasses almost 6,000 square feet and
features the most innovative products avail-
able in plumbing, heating, and electrical today.
DONDERO DIAMONDS AND FINE JEW-
ELRY was established in 1948 by Charles
Dondero as a side business to his job as a
glassblower at Kimble Glass. In 1959, the busi-
ness passed to Francis Bud Dondero, who
operated the business with his wife Elizabeth
from their Arbor Avenue (Vineland) base-
ment. Twenty years later, Buds son Ken pur-
chased 90 percent of the business and started
full-time operation. In 1988, Kens brother-in-

law Kevin Kleiner became a partner.
With its present location at 2439 N. Delsea
Drive, the store features a full line of dia-
monds, gemstones, gold and silver set in tradi-
tional and progressive styles. They also offer
custom design and jewelry and watch repair.
The current economic climate is challeng-
ing, says Kevin Kleiner, but only serves as a
stronger motivation to surprise and delight
each customer each day.
THE ELLISON SCHOOL is a fully accredit-
ed independent school and educates children
fromtoddlers through grade 8. The Vineland
Elementary School opened its doors in 1959, in
a small building on the corner of Grape Street
and East Avenue with seven students in grades
1 through 3. While enrollment started small,
the dreams of the founding families were big.
The school was welcomed by the community
and the student body almost tripled in its sec-
ond year with the addition of a fourth grade.
The tiny school also underwent a name change
to honor the generous support of its first bene-
factor, Mr. George M. Ellison.
By the 1964-1965 school year, the 47 stu-
dents enrolled in grades K through 6 had out-
grown the Grape Street building and the
school moved to 740 Wood Street. Teaching
methods in use at the school had earned
recognition with educators across the country.
In 1968, The Ellison School moved to its
present site at 1017 S. Spring Road. Today, it
operates in a facility equipped with modern
equipment and technology. In 2008, newsci-
ence and computer labs, seven classrooms and
five offices were added. The school has 162
students and in 2010, the original building was
renovated to house preschoolers and toddlers.
Less than five people were employed at
Ellison when it first opened, compared to its
current 30 employees. The most important
driver of growth is a commitment to provide
academic excellence with small class sizes,
individual attention and top-notch teachers.
MERIGHIS SAVOY INNhas been a home-
town dining and banquet tradition for over 58
years. Ernest and Rose Merighi founded the
Inn back in June of 1954, at a time when sur-
vival was the only option. It was a strong work
ethic and a pretty good ravioli recipe that
helped build the Savoy into what it nowis.
Today, Merighis Savoy Inn is a landmark
restaurant with several private rooms for par-
ties from 50 to 500 people. Hosting every
type of event possible, the Savoy has catered
thousands of private affairs from wedding
receptions to charity galas, to Sweet 16 parties.
Many current brides and grooms at the
Savoy are the children of Savoy brides and
grooms from the 1970s. Tom Merighi, Sr. took
care of the parents when they married in the
1970s and now Tom Merighi, Jr. is taking care
of their children when they get married
today.
UP TO 50 YEARS
BAGEL UNIVERSITY celebrates its 15th
year in business in 2012. They employ 10 to 12
people, all dedicated to serving the communi-
ty with bagels baked daily and bagel sand-
wiches. The business attributes its success to
selling what they would like and treating cus-
tomers rightgood old-fashioned concepts
that our grandparents taught us.
They make bagels on the premises from
scratch, which sets themapart fromthe run
of the mill franchise operations.
CRUSTNKRUMBS: Ann and Terry Cantoni
started out in Philadelphia Center City and
moved to Vineland 10 years later with Upper
Crust Bakery. They had a thriving business for
years, but in 1997 Terry was in a fatal accident.
Ann eventually closed the business, then
reopened, with the help of her two daughters,
Robyn and Tara, and her faithful baker,
Ramon. The business specializes in wedding
cakes and special-order cakes, cookies, breads,
pastries, doughnuts, muffins, scones, and pies.
DEEKS DELI AND KUSTARD KITCHEN
The custard stand was opened in 1976 by the
Margoldas; the deli was opened in 1985 by the
Decrenzos. In 1986, the DePalmas purchased
the business. It is a family business, with three
generations involved. A turning point came
when they added catering. They attribute
their success to hard work, being hands-on,
knowing their customers and offering friendly
service. They believe that because of the econ-
omy, people are staying closer to home and
patronizing local businesses more.
PHOENIX BUSINESS FORMS, INC. was
started in 1992 by Joanne Buckalew. With just
two employees, Buckalew was rebounding
from a lot of obstacles, with one typewriter,
one phone, a light table, and one printing
press. The turning point came, Buckalew
said, when I outgrew the 2,200-square-foot
[rented] space on Elmer Street, and saw the
property at 2231 Northeast Boulevard with a
For Sale sign on it. In it the business has
5,500 square feet and today employs five.
The present [business] climate has made
us more aware of spending and howwe handle
everyday operations, Buckalewsaid. She
credits success to hard work, competitive pric-
ing, customer service, and a quality product.
ROSSI HONDAwas started in 2000 by Ron
Rossi to offer sales and service of newand
used vehicles and parts. At the peak, he had
100 employees but has since scaled back some.
From2001 to 2005, the dealership was
expanded and remodeled to fit the newHonda
image program, including a computer upgrade.
We pride ourselves on doing the right
things for customers, says Rossi. I

Miss Vineland 2012 Crowned
After a one-year respite, the Miss Vineland
Pageant returned to the city on Sunday, January
22. Held at the Landis Theater, the pageant fea-
tured 11 young women, ages 16-18. After a well-
contested pageant, in which all of the girls per-
formed admirably, Alyssa Maurice was crowned
Miss Vineland 2012.
Maurice, 17, is a senior at Vineland High School
where she is a member of the Interact Club and
on the Varsity Cheerleading Squad. Though she
has yet to decide the career shell pursue, she
does plan to attend college after graduating.
First and second runner-ups for the pageant
were Jessica M. Lucena and Toni Campanella,
respectively.

in the first Sandwich of the
Year contest, sponsored by
Landis MarketPlace, downtown
Vinelands public market.
For the contest, which started in early
December, people submitted recipes for
original sandwich ideas that best reflect
Vineland, given the citys heritage as a
poultry center and farm area.
The response was very positive,
according to Landis MarketPlace Manager
Gary Holloway, with 50 recipes submitted
during the month.
People showed a lot of creativity and
came up with some very interesting
ideas, Holloway said.
Each week through February 4, finalist
sandwiches will be featured for sale at
Landis MarketPlace, 631 E. Landis Ave.,
for $8 eachone at Lucianos
FreshMarket and New Orleans Seafood
Kitchen, and the other at Las Lomas
Mexican Grille.
The following three sandwiches will be
available to taste this week (tomorrow
through Saturday, January 26-28).
Broccoli Rabe Chicken Cheesesteak
is available this week at Lucianos. This
recipe was submitted by John Platanella,
Jr., of Vineland, who had this to say about
his creation:
I think this sandwich best represents
the City because it combines vegetables,
which identify Vinelands history of farm-
ing success, with chicken, which shows
that we remember the Citys leadership in
the poultry industry in the 1940s.
1) In a large skillet, steam broccoli rabe
in 1/4 cup of water with a lid for 10 min-
utes. remove lid, drain excess water and
add 3 tsp olive oil and 2 cloves of garlic.
Cook until broccoli rabe is tender, remove
from pan, chop small, and set aside.
2) In the same pan, saute very thin
chicken breasts (or sliced) over medium
heat, when thyre halfway done add 1/2
medium onion sliced, salt and pepper to
taste.
3) When fully cooked, arrange chicken
on an Italian roll, add the broccoli rabe,
then a few slices of provolone cheese.
Heat under a broiler until the chesse is
melted. Enjoy!
Cranscuitto (at Las Lomas this week)
Submitted by Kendra Lewis:
Flatbread
Prosciutto
Fontina cheese
Dried cranberries
Arugula
Spicy chipolte mayonnaise
Cherry tomatoes
Toast the flatbread. Lightly spread both
sides with the spicy chipolte mayo.
Assemble sandwich in the following
order: prosciutto, fontina cheese, arugula,
cherry tomatoes, dried cranberries.
Prosciutto will be cooked and the fontina
cheese will be melted.

hen we were teenagers, whenever
I felt a little blue during the win-
ter months, my sister Linda was
great about taking me for rides all over
southern Jersey. My favorite ride was always
out to Shiloh and Alloway, out among the
fields and farmland, or maybe over to Parvin
Park for a walk through the woods. It always
perked me up and by the time we got home I
would feel better. I never liked going down
to the shore during the winterit always
seemed too lonely and desolatebut as I get
older I find that I do enjoy those rides to
Cape May and Avalon, especially when we
find a little gem of a destination.
Recently we went to The MarketPlace
at Teaberry, on Route 9 in Clermont, a co-
op market of probably over 100 vendors,
featuring an indoor extravaganza of gems
and jewels, antiques of all sorts, col-
lectibles, foodstuffs, crafts, and apparel.
They even have a great little cafe for break-
fast or lunch with fabulous bagels, scones,
cookies and cakes along with signature sal-
ads and sandwiches. The whole experience
is a delight, and prices are very affordable. I
think anyone could go in and find just the
right treat for themselves or for a gift and
not break the bank. They are open seven
days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is
even a sweet little cat name Leggs walking
around to warm your heart. The owner said
to set your GPS to 1944 Route 9 in Cape
May Court House but call them at 609-624-
1700 if you get lost, and they will guide you.
The gray winter days also seem to make
me very hungry. Here is my favorite low-
carb, healthy pasta dinner that can be made
in a matter of minutes. Its classy enough for
a dinner party and hearty enough for a fami-
ly supper. Serve with a big salad and enjoy.
Spaghetti and Winter Squash
Serves 4
1 package of Bird's Eye frozen Winter Squash
(ShopRite has it)
1 pkg of "Dreamfield's Low Carb Spaghetti"
(Trust me, this is great!)
1 cup of grated Pecorino romano cheese
1/4 finely ground walnuts
Olive oil
Cook pasta as directed, melt down squash
in a large saute pan, add cooked pasta, toss
well with grated cheese, top with additional
cheese, a splash of olive oil, and sprinkle nuts
on top. I also sprinkle red pepper flakes for a
spicy kick. I
