New STEM Scholarship at CCC

The Whibco, Inc./Sjogren Family Scholarshipwas made possible by a gift from the Sjogrenfamily of Bridgetonowners and operators ofWhibco, Inc., one of the nations oldest sandmining companies, with most of its operationsin Maurice River Township.

Whibco Inc. is led by brothers Wade andWalter Sjogren. Pamela Sjogren is a memberof Cumberland County Colleges Board ofTrustees and its current treasurer.

The gift will generate an annual $1,000

scholarship for students studying science,technology, engineering or math (STEM).Cumberland County College does an out-

standing job of delivering a high-quality afford-able education, said Wade Sjogren. But thereare still many students in the county whostruggle to afford tuition.

With Whibcos corporate office in Bridgetonand mining operations in Maurice RiverTownship, preference for the scholarship willbe given to students from those communities.

The first award will be given at thePresidents Scholarship Reception in May.

For a facility devoted to physical fitness and ath-

letic training, a simple ribbon-cutting seemed a

little light.

So the official dedication of the new weight room at

Vineland High School recently featured a ceremonial

sawing through a 45-pound bar used to hold barbells.

The new 4,300-square-foot facility was filled

almost to capacity for the ceremony, marking a new

era in the training of VHS athletes. But this is a room

forallthe students at the high school, according toDon Robbins, VHS Director of Athletics and master of

ceremonies for the event.

The weight room is used by a little over 400 stu-

dents a day, Robbins estimates There are 30 pieces of

exercise equipment in the room, arranged by the cate-

gory of training. The equipment was manufactured by

three companiesLegend, Hammer Strength, and

Bigger, Faster, Stronger.

A sound system in the new room provides back-

ground music for the athletes in training, and a large

flat-screen TV provides motivational videos and sports

TV broadcasts.

This room is going to be here to help so many of

our students, for many, many years to come,

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mary Gruccio noted.Eugene Medio, president of the Vineland Board of

Education, said, We have a weight room that is state

of the art.

Dr. Thomas McCann, principal of VHS South,

focused on the broader goals of the new facility.

Our main focus has been to make certain that this

addresses every student at Vineland High School,

said Dr. Thomas McCann, principal of VHS. Our

whole goal was not athletic teams, not specific teams,

but the entire student body.

Also on hand at the ceremony to receive words of

gratitude was Wayne Mesiano, who donated all themirrors in the new facility.

Downtown Vineland{BY GARY HOLLOWAY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, VDID / MAINSTREET VINELAND }

I

In the past few columns, Ive high-

lighted some great reasons why

you should come to downtown

Vineland to s hop. Th is week, I

want to tell you why you should come to

downtown Vineland to help Main Street

Vineland as a vo lunteer.

Volunteers are the core of o ur wo rk

and our mission. We can have paid staff

and expert help but, without the volun-

teers, the work doesnt get done. Its the

volunteers who come together weekly to

discuss and plan in our committees and

subcommittees. Its the volunteers whocome up with events and initiatives. Its

the volunteers who go out and plant

flowers, clean up, set up for events, staff

booths during events, and break down

after the events are over. When you see

that Holiday Parade go down Landis

Avenue so smoothly, its the work of a

group of volunteers who spent months

planning. Its the volunteers who are on

the front lines and are the unsung

heroes.

Were planning some great events this

year that I trust will really excite you

and you can be a part of making them a

reality and a success. While Ill talk

more about them in future columns, let

me give you a sneak peek, so you can

look forward to playing a role.

We start on Saturday, May 3, with an

expanded Cinco de Mayo Festival that

should last from the afternoon into the

evening on Landis Avenue. It will be big-

ger and better than ever and Main StreetVineland is joining with Las Lomas

Fresh Mexican Grille in Landis

MarketPlace to make it an event to

remember.

On Saturday, June 7, Landis

MarketPlace will have its Anniversary

Celebration and Downtown Celebration,

and, this year, our annual Sidewalk Sale

will coincide with that event.

Cruise Down Memory Lane, which

brings chrome, fins, and lots of people to

the Avenue, is being planned for the fol-lowing Saturday, June 14. Were planning

on working with the event organizers to

make this years Cruise the best one yet.

Were working on taking the best of

our past festivals and combining them

into a Vineland Food and Wine Festival,

planned for Saturday, August 9.

Our popular Wedding Weekend is

scheduled for Saturday, September 27

and A Taste of Vineland returns on

Wednesday, October 15.

The biggest event of the year, the

Main Street Holiday Parade, wraps

things up on Saturday, November 27.

All this is in addition to Clean Up andPlanting Days in the spring and fall and

other events and initiatives along the

way.

You can help in a variety of wa ys. If

youre a planner, you can join one or

more of our committees, which meet

ThursdaysOrganization on the first

Thursday at 4 p.m., Design on the sec-

ond Thursday at 8:30 a.m., Promotions

on the third Thursday at 8:30 a.m., and

Economic Restructuring on the fourth

Thursday at 8:30 a.m. They are still held

in the old Main Street Vineland office at

603 E. Landis Avenue. Within those

committees we organize subcommittees

as the need arises. If you cannot give

that kind of time, but want to help out at

events, we can use worker bees. We have

other jobs, also. If you are a local organi-

zation looking to get involved, we would

enjoy partnering with you.

If youre interested in volunteering in

any way, come to a meeting, call me, orstop in to see me at the new Main Street

Vineland office in L andis MarketPlace.

Well find a place where you can fit in.

Next week, Ill tell you a bit more

thatll make you excited about volun-

teering and continue watching this

column for more news about whats

coming up. I

Vintage Vineland { BY VINCE FARINACCIO }I

Jonas and the GlassworkersBusinessman George Jonas founded Minotola on land he purchased fromCharles K. Landis and he then helped the little town gain national notoriety.

Businessman George Jonas is

probably better recognized in

the Bridgeton area than in the

little corner of Atlantic County

where a street bearing his surname is the

only remnant of his involvement with the

municipality of Minotola. Yet it was Jonas

who founded the town on land he pur-

chased from Charles K. Landis and who

helped earn it national notoriety in the

opening decade of the 20th century.

For Jonas, Minotola seemed to have

been a business venture in every respect.

His undeveloped village already had a rail-

road running through it and, in 1892, he

provided a glass factory that would serve

as the centerpiece of his creation. Homes

soon sprang up around it, an extension of

Jonas entrepreneurship since they were

owned by the Bridgeton businessman andrented to employees of Jonas Glass Works.

According to a legal account in theAtlantic

Reporter,47 tenant houses had been built

within the first 10 years of the towns exis-

tence as part of the companys $300,000

investment that also included land,

machinery and merchandise.

Jonas was not a newcomer to the glass

industry. He had already co-founded,

with Richard M. Moore, the Moore-Jonas

Glass Company in Bridgeton, a city that

already housed at least four other manu-

facturers of green glass bottles, including

the Cumberland Glass Company.

In October 1898, the Bridgeton facto-

ries, along with other South Jersey glass-

makers, joined in a project that would,

according to theNew York Times, consoli-

date the green bottle glass interests of

the United States east of the Allegheny

Mountains A years worth of negotia-

tions with a British company, reported to

have had a capital of about $6,000,000

to spend, would have placed about 15 U.S.

factories under the control of the

unnamed English company. But the pro-

posed glass bottle trust fell through.

In April 1899, the Moore-Jonas Glass

Company attracted national attention

when it went head-to-head with the Glass

Bottle Blowers Association, which had

been trying to reestablish unions that had

been lost in Bridgeton in an 1886 strike.

Labor skirmishes resulting in strikes had

been commonplace over the previous 20

years. ANew York Timesarticle dated

April 7, 1899, reports that William

Doughty, the Vice-President of the GlassBottle Blowers Association, announced

the non-union glass firms that have

agreed to the union scale employ more

than one-half the glass workers in

Southern New Jersey and that he and

the Union President would meet the next

day with officials of the More-Jonas and

Cumberland Glass Companies. The offi-

cials of these companies have repeatedly

stated that they will not recognize the

union, the paper reported.

By April 10, 500 glassblowers and

1,000 apprentices from area glass facto-

ries, including Minotola, were on strike,

one of the 37,000 U.S. labor strikes

between 1881 and 1905, according to

online sources. TheNew York Times

reported that Moore-Jonas Company has

four furnaces going, apprentices and non-

union men doing the work. According to

theNew Jersey Annual Report of the

Bureau of Statistics of Labor and Industry,

however, on April 25, Moore-Jonas and

two other companies had a total of 150

men walk off the job in support of the

strikers. Around 10 journeymen glass-

blowers and 150 apprentices were

brought in to replace them.

One month after the start of the strike,

the consolidation of New Jersey,

Pennsylvania and New York glass-bottle

manufacturers was finally realized. The

new trust, according to the New York

Times, would practically control the

market in this line. Its Board of

Directors included both Moore and Jonas.

On July 14, violence broke out at 6 a.m.

when Cumberland Glass brought in 16non-union workers from Indiana. News

of their arrival was well advertised and

may have been meant to provoke the vio-

lence so factory owners could get the

injunction they were after. Unfortunately

for them, the hearing that followed

favored the striking workers, and from

July 29 until September 22, glass compa-

ny owners slowly relented and unionized.

Only the Moore-Jonas Company and

the Minotola Glass Works remained non-

union, continuing with a largely appren-

tice staff. By the time the next strike

occurred, Minotola would attract the

most national media attention for all the

wrong reasons.I

Gateway Enrolling for MatchedSavings Program

Gateway Community Action

Partnerships Individual Development

Account (IDA) program is conducting sign-

ups for a program that offers matched sav-

ings for income eligible participants. The

program offers participants the opportuni-

ty to save money and have those savingsmatched dollarfor dollarand enhance a par-

ticipants capability of saving for their future.

For example, if a participant saves

$4,500 during the 36-month period, takes

part in personal finance and money man-

agement sessions and is saving for home

ownership, post secondary education or

small business startup, that $4,500 will be

matched by the program. By saving

$4,500, the participant would have $9,000

in overall savings at the end of year.

Participants must make a $10 minimumweekly deposit for one year and attend

eight economic literacy classes.

Current or former Work First NJ or

TANF recipients are now eligible to par-

ticipate and having a minor child is no

longer a program requirement.

Prospective Gateway IDA Program

participants will learn about the impor-

tance of saving, money management,

budgeting and financial decision making,

debt management, taxes, banking services,

basic financial planning and insurance aswell as learn about first-time home buyers

programs, down payment assistance,

scholarships, entrepreneur training, credit

repair and dealing with realtors.

Health Department ReportsRaccoons Confirmed WithRabies

On Wednesday, February 26, 2014, the

Vineland Health Department was notified

by the NJ State Health Department Rabies

Lab, that two raccoons sent in for testing

had been confirmed positive for rabies.

The raccoons were found on in the area ofDahliadel Drive and East Oak Road in

Vineland. Two dogs were exposed to the

raccoons prior to the raccoons being cap-

tured. Thankfully, both pet owners had

vaccinated their pets for rabies and the

course of treatment only required a boost-

er shot and 45 days of confinement. If the

pets had not been vaccinated, they would

have had to been euthanized.

The Vineland Health Department

would like to remind residents how seri-

ous rabies can be and that it is very impor-tant to have pets vaccinated. Rabies is a

virus that can infect all species of

mammals.

Some 77 percent of all animals that have

tested positive in New Jersey in the last 10

years have been raccoons. Raccoon popu-

lations in suburbs average 98 raccoons per

square mile.

Raccoons have adapted extremely well

to the suburbs, stated Robert Dickinson,

Health Officer. We now have more rac-

coons in the suburbs than there are in thewoods, due to the many sources of food.

Skunks, foxes, coyotes, groundhogs and

bats are known to carry the virus and

infect other animals as well.

It is very important to vaccinate yourdogs and cats. While raccoons account for

a high percentage of rabid animals, cats

expose humans more to rabies. One human

is exposed per 10 rabid raccoons in com-

parison to five to six humans exposed per

each rabid cat. Less pet owners vaccinate

cats for rabies than dog owners, yet cats

are at a greater chance of coming in con-

tact with the virus and exposing humans.

If someone sees an animal acting

strangely, they should:

Stay well away from the animal andadvise others to do so.

Advise the local authorities immedi-

ately by calling Animal Control at 691-4111.

ette. Use watercolors to create a represen-tational or fantastical background that will

enhance the animal silhouette!

variety of animal templates will be avail-

able to help you get started, or choose to

are back

When we were kids, news

traveled slowly....You either

saw it on TV, read it in the

newspaper, heard it on the

radio or got the low-down from a friend.

Today, events fly around the globe in a

second. Facebook friends give us all sorts

of news about themselves and their world,

people tweet andblog,and everybody seems

to be on a cell phone, texting and talking ortaking selfies. I think we all see the world

from a very unique perspective but we all

share the universal love of a good meal!

As we transition from the family home

to our own homes sometimes we lose the

chance to cook up a great meal, but no

matter where you are in your life cycle,

there still is nothing like the smell of a

roast perfuming the house with the true

essence of home. My mom made a great

pork roast with onion gravy and I miss thebig family meals.

However, I can still conjure up that

same experience by scaling down the meat

portion and treating myself to a great

Sunday meal. Here is a little pork roast

that I make for myself or when my sister

Linda comes over and it is just the right

size. Linda always makes the best sauer-

kraut, so I leave that up to her!

Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

1 whole Pork Loin Tenderloin2 slices of Fontina cheese2 slices prosciutto4 fresh sage leavesFlour1 tbsp. butter1 tbsp. olive oil

1 small glass of dry white wine1 cup beef broth (low sodium)A handful of dried porcini mushrooms1 clove garlic1/4 cup chopped curly parsleySalt and fresh ground pepper

Slice open tenderloin like a book, but

not all the way through. Lay cheese in

middle, then prosciutto and sage leaves.

Tie firmly with butcher twine. Dust with

flour and salt lightly.Brown roast on all sides in the butter

and olive oil over medium heat. Use a

heavy pan with a lid. Add wine and allow

to evaporate a bit, then add broth, crushed

garlic, mushrooms and lower heat and

simmer about 1 1/2 hours. Add chopped

parsley at end. Serve over sauerkraut,

spoon on the sauce and enjoy! I

I In Our Schools

Cat in the Hat Visits

D'Ippolito SchoolStudents in the English as a SecondLanguage (ESL) class of Annette Lowerat D'Ippolito Elementary School start-ed the 17th Annual Read AcrossAmerica celebration with a visit fromthe famous Dr. Seuss character, "TheCat in the Hat."

The Seussical celebration kicked offa week of reading across the nation asstudents, parents, and communitymembers gather together to share

their love of reading.

Students Mark African-American History MonthMore than 125 students from

Wallace Middle School participatedin the sixth annual AfricanAmerican Read In held February 19

in the school's auditorium.The program, one of the dis-trict's Black History Month activi-ties, was organized by JacquelineHuster, the school librarian.

"Our program is part of a largercelebration, nationally, that is spon-

sored by the National Council of Teachers of English," she said. "The Read In isendorsed by the black caucus of the NCTE, which founded the observance, and theInternational Reading Association."

"My hope today is to not only celebrate the written word of African-Americansduring Black History Month, but also to promote literacy and also (for students) alove of some of the literature presented today."

As expected, many of the students chose poetry. Others chose passages theyhad read in various works by African American writers.

Bianca Morgan, a sixth grader, who read "For My Mother" by Lorna Goodison,reflected upon the meaning behind her choice.

"Mothers are special," she said. "They have a nurturing touch that can calm youdown with just a hug. And it's really special to me because that's how my mothermakes me feel."

Fellow sixth graders Ferdinand Moscat and Izaiah Jones also pondered thedeeper significance behind their pieces.

Moscat, who read "Daybreak in Alabama" by Langston Hughes, stated that,"[when he said] 'daybreak in Alabama' it meant that [during] segregation, especial-ly in the Southern states, daybreak was when whites and blacks could unite. And

when he says, 'when I get to be composer', he was talking about even though theycouldn't live together in real life, they can live together in the music that he wrote."

Jones, who recited "Dream Variations" by Langston Hughes, felt that "becausehe likes to write a lot about dreams, I think he dreamt that one day there wouldbe integration, not segregation, and he wanted both the colored and non-coloredto be together."

her many hours of community service in2013. Selena is the daughter of Jenniferand Russell Walden of Franklinville.

Edgarton Recommended

The Middle States Association ofColleges and Schools recently announcedthat Edgarton Christian Academy success-fully completed their evaluation process andhas qualified for Middle StatesAccreditation. Middle States Accreditation isa highly respected endorsement whichasserts that a school has achieved a highlevel of academic and organizational excel-lence. Recognizing the importance of aMiddle States Accreditation, EdgartonChristian Academy began the long process

in July 2012. Over the past year and a half aself-study was conducted to determineareas of strength and need. Based upon theinformation gathered from the self-study,

Edgarton developed an Improvement Plan to address identified needs. The primaryfocus of Edgartons Improvement Plan was to improve the overall technology pro-gram. In taking initial steps towards implementing this goal, Edgarton purchasedsix SMART Boards, a portable computer lab with 25 laptops, nine flat screen TVsfor classrooms, and provided professional development for the staff to facilitateeffective integration of technology into the instructional program. The use of tech-nology in ECA is well established with plans for continued growth.

Cumberland County Call toService Summit

For several years now I have been a vol-

unteer with The Citizens Campaign, a non-

profit, non-partisan organization dedicated

to empowering citizens to getting results

on the issues they care about.

With the assistance of The Citizens

Campaign, my fellow Cumberland County

residents and I have come together to

recruit a new force of citizen problem-

solvers who are ready to make an impact in

their community without having to rely on

the political establishment.

Whether the issue is addressing farm-

land preservation, economic development,

or reducing property taxes, people dont

needto wait for official word from the State

House or even City Hallthey can begin to

effect change immediately. Citizens have

the power to drive pragmatic solutions

from the bottom up, which is why we are

joining forces with Cumberland County

College to issue a Call to Service to

empower residents with the knowledge

they need to effect these improvements.

Join a growing pool of citizen problem-

solvers onWednesday, March 26at 6 p.m.

at Cumberland County College for the first-

ever Cumberland County Call to Service

Summit. The summit will highlight ways

South Jersey residents can take initiativeon the issues they care about, and how to

build pragmatic solutions and implement

them in their communities.

Rowena Madden, the executive director

of the Governors Office on Volunteerism,

will highlight how public service can

strengthen our communities. Under her

leadership, more than 500 AmeriCorps

members serve New Jersey communities in

the areas of education, public safety, emer-

gency response, and the environment.

Following the keynote address, atten-dees will have the opportunity get hands-

on training on how they can begin to make

a direct impact in their community.

For example, youwill learn howto use

traditional journalism techniques and online

tools to becomea Citizen Journalist and

keep your friends and neighbors informed

on important news and events. Or how to

make an impactas a local Political Party

Member, and have a say on the candidate

endorsementprocess and help set the party

platform. Enact evidence-based, best prac-tice solutions as an Appointed Member of a

government board or commission or a Citizen

Legislator at a local government meeting.

I encourage you to join me on March 26

in answering the Call to Service, and take a

leadership role in making our county a bet-

ter place to live, work, and raise a family.

Michael DeLeon, Cumberland CountyCo-Chair, The Citizens Campaign

Making the GradeItis with greatpleasure that I commend the

teachers and students at Vineland Senior

High Schoolregarding the recent releaseof

the Preliminary SchoolProfile for 2013. One

of our teachers goals is for all of our stu-

dents to perform well on state tests. This is

the method by which the Department ofEducation and individual school districts

measure the success of a school. We have

made this our focus. We are proud of our

test results, which indicate how greatly we

have improved. Over the past five years,

Math and English proficiency have steadily

increased. Two years ago, our school was

removed from the States Focus and Priority

List. This was a major accomplishment

since we were on the States list for eight

years. The increase in test scores makes it

very evident that our teachers are utilizingeffective instruction for our students.

Vineland Senior High School has made

progress in 10 of the 12 state categories:

ENGLISH

Subgroup % Target % Proficient % ExceededTarget

Schoolwide 82.3 86.9 +4.6

White 88.6 93.7 +5.1

Black 76.9 78.4 +1.5

Hispanic 80.0 84.7 +4.7

Studentswith Disabilities 39.5 51.3 +11.8

White 83.8 85.8 +2

Hispanic 67.6 71.1 +3.5

EconomicallyDisadvantaged 6 5.3 6 5.8 + .5

In addition, due to their academic

achievements and athletic abilities, our stu-

dents have been accepted to some of the

finest and respected colleges and universi-

ties in the United States.

In the past six years, 75 student ath-

letes have signed National Letters of

Intent to play their sport at the college

level. Listed below are the student ath-

letes that have signed National Letters of

Intent during the 2013-2014 school year.

The school year is still young, and we are

anticipating more to come.

Aria Asselta, West Virginia University, Crew Jamil Demby, University of Maine, Football Andrew Gee, Rowan University, Baseball Jim Hague, Wilmington University, Baseball John Malatesta, NJIT, Baseball Tanasia Russell, Wagner College, Basketball

Jonathan Roig, Yale University, Academic

It is clear that Vineland Senior High

School is effectively preparing our students

for a bright, successful future. We are proud

of our students and our staff, and we thank

ourcommunity for your continued support.
