PRIMARY CARE PLUS
Comprehensive family care and wellness planning
that connects your doctor, hospitals and specialists.
Just last year, Ginni Bell needed a cane to walk. She was
in pain, inactive, overweight, diabetic and hopeless.
Then one small decision changed her story she called
AtlantiCare. Ginni was warmly embraced by the whole team
at her AtlantiCare Primary Care Plus practice. They gave
her the tools and information she needed to get her health
under control. They taught her to live again. Now shes
walking without a cane, shes lost weight, her diabetes
is managed and shes more active than shes ever been.
Ginni is especially thankful for her care manager, Deb
Glick, RN, who she credits for providing the support she
needed to live a longer, healthier, and happier life story.
Start a healthy new chapter in your life.
Call to schedule an appointment with your new
AtlantiCare Primary Care Plus provider.

Salloum Joins
CompleteCare
Dr. Azizeh Salloum recently joined the
staff at CompleteCare Medical & Dental
Professionals in Millville. She received a
Masters in Public Health from Drexel
University in 2004 and went on to receive
her Doctorate from the Ross University
School of Medicine in 2009. Before com-
ing to CompleteCare, Dr. Salloum com-
pleted a three-year Family Medicine
Residency at Underwood-Memorial
Hospital in Woodbury, New Jersey. Her
decision to practice at CompleteCare was
connected to her desire to give back to
the community.
I always wanted to practice in a com-
munity health center like Complete Care.
It allows patients who dont have much
income to access comprehensive medical
care. Practicing here makes me feel like
Im making a difference in the communi-
ty, said Dr. Salloum.
No matter a patients income level or
whether or not they have insurance, Dr.
Salloum notes that there are big health
issues that affect many of the patients
that she sees. Chronic medical conditions
are often at the root of hospital visits,
and Dr. Salloum hopes that by educating
patients about treating these conditions,
such as hypertension, diabetes and asth-
ma, she can give them a better quality of
life.
Dr. Salloum treats patients of all ages
and will see anyone regardless of whether
or not they have insurance.

their Annual Meeting, along with a
Hanukkah Dessert Reception and
Menorah Lighting on Sunday, December
9, at 3 p.m. at Beth Israel Congregation,
1015 E. Park Ave., Vineland, NJ. At the
event, which is free and open to the
Jewish community, Vineland attorney and
former teacher Harry Furman, Esq., will
receive the Trudy Gordon Communal
Service Award, given annually to a mem-
ber of the area Jewish community who
has made an extraordinary contribution
to Jewish life.
A Vineland native, Furman is a child of
Holocaust survivors. He graduated from
Vineland High School and Rutgers
University with a degree in American
History. Returning to his native communi-
ty, he taught Social Studies at Vineland
High School for 13 years and created and
taught the first semester course on
Holocaust and Genocide in public
schools in the nation entitled The
Conscience of Man, beginning in 1976.
He was the editor-in-chief of the antholo-
gy The Holocaust and Genocide: A
Search For Conscience in 1983 and co-
editor of The Hitler Legacy in 2002. He
has been reappointed as a member of
the New Jersey Commission on
Holocaust Education after 12 years of
prior service.
Furman has been the presenter of
numerous workshops and seminars for
teachers and the public for 25 years.
Since 2004, he has been a part-time lec-
turer for Rutgers University. He is the
chairman of the Cumberland County
Holocaust Commission and is an admin-
istrator of the coalitions Facebook page.
He was a member of the Vineland Board

ident from 1994 to 1995. He has prac-
ticed law with the law firm of Eisenstat,

Lirio Brings House Care
Franchise to New Jersey
Businessman Chris Lirio is bringing
TruBlue House Care to New Jersey with
the opening of his franchise to serve
Vineland and its surrounding communi-
ties. With TruBlue, homeowners can get
assistance with household and yard
maintenance by making just one call.
I could see immediately that the one-
call-does-it-all format would benefit all
types of people, Lirio said.
With the launch of his TruBlue House
Care franchise in Vineland, NJ, Lirio is
continuing a tradition of caring for his
community that started with his grandfa-
ther nearly 100 years ago. TruBlue lets
homeowners in Cumberland County and
its surrounding communities enjoy their
homes without the drudgery of yard work,
repairs and housework by placing just
one phone call.
The concept behind TruBlue is that
most people consider their home their
castle, but maintenance can become a
hassle, either because of time constraints
or physical limitations. TrueBlue House
Care provides year-round, total house
careincluding yard work, routine and
emergency repairs, holiday decorating,
gutter cleaning, maid services, and what-
ever else is neededfor one low monthly
fee.
A lot of people feel like this is a busi-
ness just for seniors, said Lirio. But its
not that way at all. This is for all home-
owners to get the help they need around
their home. Sometimes you just dont
have the time to get certain tasks done,
and TruBlue is here to get those things
done for you.
In starting his business, Lirio discov-
ered that dozens of people were eager for
jobs with TrueBlue.
I posted an ad, and within 15 hours,
my files were full of resumes of experi-
enced people for yard work, housekeep-
ing and handyman services. My printer
was on fire, Lirio said.
Lirio sees his new business as an
extension of his familys commitment to
the region: My father and grandfather
did a lot for this community, he said.
They founded and operated Lirio
Chemical for decades, and Pop also
served on City Council. I dont think they
could be more proud that Ive decided to
operate a business that can be such a
benefit to the whole community like
TruBlue can.
To learn more about TruBlue of
Vineland, or to schedule a free consulta-
tion for services in Vineland, Millville,
Bridgeton, Maurice River, Franklin,
Clayton, Elk, Williamstown or their sur-
rounding communities, call Lirio at 856-
528-3023. {

Weber Family Presents Portrait to College
The family of Robert H. Weber recently presented a portrait of the late State
Senator to Cumberland County College. Senator Weber was a member of the New
Jersey State Senate, representing Cumberland County, from 1960 to 1966. In
1962, he cast his vote to establish community colleges in New Jersey.
Senator Weber's daughter, Linda Weber-Raively, said at the presentation that
he was intrigued with the opportunities presented to individuals who resided in
states in which community colleges existed. He believed the residents of New
Jersey deserved the same educational opportunities.
Senator Weber played a major role in getting the state legislature passed that
led to the opening of Cumberland County College in 1966.
"Senator Weber was truly a visionary, and his actions paved the way for thou-
sands of people in New Jersey to better their lives through higher education,"
CCC President Dr. Thomas Isekenegbe said at the presentation, adding that the
college will be extremely proud to display the senator's portrait on campus.

VHAS To Unveil Bust of
Walter Louis Shaw
The Vineland Historical and Antiquarian
Society will unveil a new addition to its col-
lections on Friday, December 7, with a pri-
vate reception at its museum on South
Seventh Street. It is a bronze bust of former
Vineland resident Walter Louis Shaw that
was created by well-known sculptor Yaacov
Heller of Boca Raton, Florida.
While most area residents are not famil-
iar with Shaws name, think of him the next
time you're telecommunicating with busi-
ness associates or friends. Shaw apparently
was an unsung hero whose inventions
reportedly revolutionized the world of
telephones.
Born in Vineland in 1917, Shaw would
acquire 39 different patents for telephone-
related inventions over the years. Sadly, he
never made any money from his ideas
because he worked for the Bell Telephone
Company at a time when it held an iron-
clad monopoly on the telephone industry.
Shaw started his career with Bell in 1935.
In 1948, he reportedly invented a speaker-
phone system while working for the compa-
ny. Six years later, his wizardry with wires
caught the attention of Dwight D.
Eisenhower, then president of the United
States, who commissioned Shaw to design
the Red Phone, a communication system
that directly linked the White House and
the Kremlin in Russia.
When Shaws supervisors reportedly
attempted to force him to sign over the
rights to his ideas, he refused. Desperate to
support his family and nowhere to turn, he
wound up finding work with the Mafia. He
allegedly created something special for his
new employersthe infamous black box
that allowed bookmakers to make untrace-
able long-distance telephone calls.
Arrested in 1975, Shaw appeared before a
Senate subcommittee chaired by Robert F.
Kennedy. He was eventually found guilty of
eight counts of illegal phone usage.
Shaw died of prostate cancer in July
1996. Since then, his son Walter T. Shaw has
been determined to achieve recognition for
his father, which was not accorded him in
his lifetime.
In addition to commissioning the bust,
which will remain on exhibit at the
Societys museum, Walter T. Shaw has cre-
ated a documentary based on his fathers
life titled Genius on Hold, which will be
released in March 2013 by Freestyle
Releasing, a theatrical motion picture distri-
bution company. The film, narrated by actor
Frank Langella, details Shaws life story and
debuted as an official selection at the Palm
Beach International Film Festival and Soho
International Film Festival this past year.
For more information on the event, call
856-691-1111 or e-mail
vinelandhistory@gmail.com.

display featuring over 250,000 lights, is
open at the park Thursday through
Sunday from 6 to 9 p.m. weekly through
Sunday, December 30.
The late Stanley Chick Meischke
hosted the display at his residence in
Delmont for 40 years, attracting tens of
thousands of families each holiday season.
Beginning in 2011, NJMP partnered with
the Meischke family to keep the tradition
going in Chicks name. This year, the dis-
play will be at the Finish Line Pub, located
at the heart of New Jersey Motorsports
Park, creating a walk through display
behind the clubhouse. Santa Claus will
once again be available to hear Christmas
lists and pose for pictures each night.
With a portion of this events proceeds
benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation,
a $5 entry donation from adults, and $2
from kids is requested, continuing an
annual tradition started by the Meischkes
over 40 years ago. Tickets can be pur-
chased at the main gate entrance to the
park each day the display is open. This
year, the display is being powered by
Atlantic City Electric.
Every Sunday during the Meischke
Wonderland of Lights we encourage you
to bring your pet for a picture with Santa!
New Jersey Motorsports Park is
located at 47 Warbird Drive 9 (GPS: 8000

Christy Earns Holly Society
Award
Jane Y. Christy of Millville recently
received the Holly Society of Americas
Wolf-Fenton Award, the most prestigious
award of the organization.
In presenting the award, President
Michael R. Pontti cited Christys extraor-
dinary and selfless dedication to the Holly
Society of America. Amember of the organ-
ization for approximately 10 years, Christy
has served as a vice president for four years.
The award was established to honor the
late Clarence R. Wolf, founder of the Holly
Society, and the late Daniel Fenton, its first
recipient. Both were Millville residents.
Officers, and Citizen-Volunteers will con-
tinue to meet every other Thursday.
The effort is part of a shared services
agreement between the City of Bridgeton
and the County Prosecutors Office and
funded through a NJ Department of
Criminal Justice, JAG 3-3-09, and it is
designed to allow police and code person-
nel to move outside of traditional methods
and focus on going door-to-door in target-
ed neighborhoods. The outreach part of
the initiative will come from local chap-
lains, clergy, and citizen-volunteers, who
will join in the door-to-door effort, pass-
ing out information to residents on pro-
grams and services in the community.
Anyone wishing to report a crime or
information related to a crime to the
Bridgeton Police can do so anonymously
via cell phone by texting the key word
BRIDGETON followed by a space and
the anonymous information to 847411
(tip411). Citizens can also call the police
tip phone line at 856-455-5550.
Information is checked daily.

Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments
(SURE) program, opened recently and will
extend through June 7, 2013. The SURE pro-
gram authorizes assistance to farmers and
ranchers who suffered crop losses caused by
natural disasters occurring through
September 30, 2011.
To be eligible for SURE, a farm or ranch
must have:
At least a 10-percent production loss on a
crop of economic significance; A policy or

Insurance Act or the Noninsured Crop
Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) for all

FOR CITY

On December 18 Vote for
Development of Vineland with Christ Care
Baptist Church of Winslow Township.
Construction of the townhomes will be
100 percent completed in ACM's state of the
art facility located at 724 Orange Street in
Millville. The $ 4,300,000 construction con-
tract will generate 40 to 50 local construction
jobs. Fully finished units will subsequently be
shipped and installed on site in Winslow
Township. ACM's Factory re-utilizes a for-
merly vacant industrial building, previously
the site of a local building supply warehouse
in Millville.
American Custom Modular was founded
in 2011 by local businessmen, Jeff DiMatteo
and Gino Ciancaglini, and both have signifi-
cant construction expertise. Jeff DiMateo is a
principal in Mainline Flooring of Vineland;
Gino Ciacaglini is a principal in Tri-State
Construction of Millville.
DiMatteo and Ciancaglini recognized an
unmet demand for local manufactured hous-
ing, and ACM is presently the only Modular
Housing Factory located in New Jersey. The
present factory in Millville allows ACM to
produce between 100 and 150 units per year,
all homes built by ACM meet rigid inspection
standards and are Energy Star rated.
Funding for the WinslowCommons proj-
ect was facilitated by an allocation of Federal
tax credits. Equity is provided by Enterprise
Community Investments, with Colonial Bank
of Vineland providing the construction financ-
ing in a consortiumwith other local Banks. I
Hans Lampart (second from left) of Brookfield
Construction and ACMs Jeff DiMatteo and
Gino Ciancaglini are joined by others during a
recent tour of ACMs manufacturing facility.

his past Saturday, Main Street
Vineland had the opportunity
to organize and host one of our
most anticipated events of the
yearthe annual Volunteer Recognition
Brunch. Held at CrepeMaker Caf in the
600 block of Landis Avenue and spon-
sored by Capital Bank of New Jersey, the
brunch gives the Main Street Vineland
Board of Directors and staff the opportu-
nity to formally thank those who do so
much for the revitalization of Landis
Avenue.
With 2012 winding down, now is the
time for my annual report to readers
about some of the accomplishments
enjoyed in downtown Vineland over this
past year.
In this weekly column, I often share
the achievements of our volunteers and
all that they do for the revitalization of
Landis Avenue. Certainly, 2012 was no
different than years past as far as the
work of our volunteers is concerned.
Over the past 11 months, we saw our vol-
unteers plan and carry out fundraisers;
plant flowers; pick up litter; set up tables
and chairs at festivals and then break
them down at the end of the fun; partici-
pate in a strategic planning session to
help set a vision for Main Street
Vineland; take pictures at events; sort,
organize and archive news clippings for
the past 10 years; count cigarette butts on
the sidewalk to comply with grant
requirements; perform clerical duties;
carry banners during a parade, and
countless other jobs that truly make a
difference. As of this week, Main Street
Vineland volunteers have donated well
over 2,000 hours of their time this year
thats more than 250, eight-hour days
representing over $40,000 in donated
labortoward making downtown
Vineland a great place to shop, work, live,
dine and be entertained.
Unfortunately, many people and busi-
nesses remain in difficult economic cir-
cumstances, and downtown Vineland was
not immune to this nationwide trend. But
there was good news to be found. In 2012,
Landis Avenue saw a net gain of over a
dozen new businesses and nearly 20 new
jobs. Similarly, investment in the down-
town continued in 2012, with more than
$900,000 in private and public dollars
going toward revitalizing Landis Avenue.
Given the state of the American economy,
it is encouraging to see a willingness to
invest in downtown Vineland.
What many people seem to remember
the most about any year, however, are the
special events that take place on Landis
Avenue, and we had lots of them in 2012.
All told, in the downtown there were 15
special events, retail events and festivals
that were organized or supported by
Main Street Vineland and its volunteers.
From the inaugural Keep it Local
Wednesdays campaign, to the annual
Lunch on Landis promotion to large
special events such as the Cruise Down
Memory Lane, the Seafood Festival, the
BBQ and Chili Cook-off and the Holiday
Parade, an estimated 42,000 people came
to Landis Avenue this year to eat, shop
and have fun. Driving this terrific atten-
dance number was aggressive advertising
and marketing, which led to downtown
Vineland receiving more than 1.6 million
media impressions! In the coming weeks,
I will be sharing with you some of the
great accomplishments each of our four
standing committees had during 2012.
****
With the year coming to an end, some
people often look to make charitable
donations in advance of filing their year-
ly tax returns. If you are such a person,
please keep Main Street Vineland in
mind. We are an IRS-registered 501(c)(3)
organization, so any donations you make
to us may be tax-deductible. Your gen-
erosity goes directly toward funding
projects that help make downtown
Vineland a great place. I

ter. Students who receive this honor and who then choose Widener University to

from the University awarded Delsea Regional High School with a plaque listing
Shijo as the schools first Leadership Award winner. The district will be partici-
pating in Wideners 2012 Leadership Award program and will be nominating a
current junior for the award.
Benjamin is the son of George and Sobha Benjamin of Franklinville. During the

Academy, along with 40 other students from five different local counties, receiv-
ing instruction in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) while also

Delseas DECA Anti-
Bullying Efforts
Delsea Regional High School Seniors,
Stephanie Ward and Marissa Mauceli
participated in a workshop at Main Road
Elementary School on November 2 as
part of a DECA (Distributive Education
Clubs of America) research project. The
focus of Wards research project was an
anti-bullying campaign and she and
Mauceli were part of a two-hour work-
shop along with Delseas YODA (Youth
Organized for Disaster Assistance)
where third and fourth graders had the
opportunity to learn from the older stu-
dents about ways to work together to
stop the bullying epidemic prevalent
among Americas youth.
Seniors shared stories and participat-
ed in activities that helped the young-
sters understand that differences should
be celebrated and making friends can
be a fun thing. Even YODA Bear told his
story on what it felt like to be a different
color bear. Approximately 300 elemen-
tary students participated in the event
and learned valuable lessons about
friendship and compassion for others.
Delsea Regional High Seniors Stephanie
Ward and Marissa Mauceli make friends
with YODA Bear, during anti-bullying work-
shops at Main Road Elementary School.

Edgarton Christian Academy Helps Sandy Survivors
When Hurricane Sandy hit
southern New Jersey, the
students of Edgarton
Christian Academy realized
their prayers were answered
and their families and
homes were spared. But oth-
ers in our area were not so
fortunate. The thoughts of
the students immediately
turned to, What can we do
to help? Edgarton students
and families wanted to reach
as many people in need as
possible. They partnered
with the Steve Brown family
of Vineland to help the residents of Downe Township, whose homes and communi-
ty were hit the hardest. Providing clothing, blankets, cleaning supplies and food,
ECA was able to reach the community before outside agencies had made it the
area. The students also loaded a trailer with clothing for the Methodist Church of
Port Norris, and relied on Jim Mallon, Director of Community Services of Ocean
City to deliver a loaded car to the food pantry of Ocean City.
The students of Edgarton welcomed three students from Island Park, NY whose
home was flooded with more than four feet of water. The Saggio Family returned to
Vineland to stay with family while the work began on their home in New York. The
three boys, grades first, third and fifth, were welcomed at ECA, where they could
continue their studies and take their minds off of the disaster at home. The
Edgarton Community joined in donating needed items to The DOttavio Family who
packed a 14-foot U-Haul truck and delivered it to the devastated neighborhood.
Edgarton Christian fourth graders pose in front of a trailer full of supplies collected for
those most affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Sacred Heart Giving Tree
The Annual Christmas Giving Tree,
placed in the schools foyer, is a
school-wide tradition at Sacred Heart
High School. The tree is a symbol of
the generosity of their students, facul-
ty and staff who annually donate items
for needy families in Cumberland
County.

Mercurio, Ryan Veltman and Tyler M.

Cumberland Christian Student Activity Board
Enjoys a Special Breakfast
The aroma and sounds of bacon drifted into the gym and the excitement rose in
the students voices. It was almost time for breakfast at Cumberland Christian
School. Breakfast at the school is not a common practice and this one was special.
For the first time, the newly elected representatives of the Middle School Student
Activity Organization would have a planning meeting. Before the planning the
group shared the responsibilities of fixing each other breakfast. After omelets,
chocolate chip pancakes, waffles, and bacon the group took time out for Bible les-
sons and prayer. Soon the brainstorming began and several dozen ideas were pre-
sented. As the day progressed the students prioritized their goals and future activi-
ties. Some of the more important ones being planned were aid to hurricane victims
in Cumberland County bay areas, Christmas Cards to veterans, Christmas gifts to
needy children, and a day to chase the Winter Blues away for the whole middle
school. Members include John Bonanno, Kelsey Sheppard, Robert Leek, Aria
Shoemaker, Tristan Livengood, Jayson Fields, Dylan Torrance, Tim Wright, and two
members who are serving for their third yearOlivia Fields and Daniel Wright.
Members of the Cumberland Christian Student Activity Organization take a break from
their breakfast to pose for a photo.
Key Club Holds Thanksgiving Feast
Delsea Regional High Schools Key Club
under the direction of advisors, Ms. Kathy
Williams and Mrs. Linda Garbarino, held a
Thanksgiving feast for the needy in Franklin
and Elk townships. Area churches, shelters,
senior citizens clubs, nursing homes, and the
Veterans association received invitations to par-
ticipate with bus transportation provided by
Delseas Board of Education to bring the guests
to Delsea for those that needed transportation.
This year over 200 guests attended the event.
Donations were collected from parents, the students, and the Delsea staff who
also offered their time to help cook. Local businesses supported the event by offer-
ing money, turkeys and other food items, paper and plastic products, and door
prizes. Students collected canned goods which were given to the guests along with
a loaf of pumpkin bread that students baked.
Additionally, Delseas JROTC also participated doing the formal introduction and
presentation of the colors. Dinner music was provided for the guests entertain-
ment along with the concert choir who did a sing-along of Christmas carols.

E
very year, at the beginning of
October at Sacred Heart
Grammar School, the eldest child
of the family would be given the large
white shopping bag of Christmas good-
ies to sell. Inside were glittered candles,
Christmas cards, candy, wrapping paper,
music-box angelsevery year it was
something new. I was always jealous that
I wasnt the one who got the bag and the
orders. When I finally reached eighth
grade and Linda was long gone to high
school, the school suddenly stopped the
tradition. Sometimes life just isnt fair.
Eventually, I got plenty of experience
selling stuff at my various seasonal jobs,
but it just wasnt the same as going door-
to-door.
Dad always got a lot of gifts from his
suppliers at work, like the Hickory Farm
Tower of Cheeses, boxes of chocolates,
bottles of booze, and also quite a few of
the much maligned fruitcakes. I actually
like fruitcake and consider it one of the
specialties of the holidays.
I also love to drive around and see all
of the Christmas lights on the houses.
People really go all out and it is a real
treat! This year, however, one house will
be darkDave Di Giovacchinos house on
Deborah Court in Vineland. We lost
Dave recently and he will be missed by
many friends and acquaintances who
looked forward to his yearly Christmas
display. Thank you, Dave, for all of the
years of beauty and joy. We will remem-
ber you in our thoughts and prayers this
holiday season.
Here is a take on a fruitcake. This is
really nice, from P. Allen Smiths cook-
book. It is an old recipe from his grand-
mother. I think you will like it!
Blackberry Jam Cake
(A Disguised Fruitcake)
2 cups blackberry jam
1 cup butter, salted, softened
1 cup black walnuts, finely
chopped
2 cups dark brown sugar, packed
6 eggs
2 tsp. nutmeg,
1 cup raisins
2 tsp. cinnamon,
2 tsp. baking soda
4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups buttermilk, room temperature
Oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour
a tube pan.
Separate the eggs. In a large bowl,
mix together the flour, baking soda, salt,
cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a small bowl,
mix cup of the flour mixture with the
black walnuts and raisins.
Add the brown sugar, butter, and
blackberry jam to the egg yolks, and stir
together thoroughly. Stir in the butter-
milk. Add the flour mixture.
Beat the egg whites until they turn
white, but are loose. Fold whites into the
batter. Add nuts and raisins and blend.
Bake for one to two hours. When a
toothpick inserted in the center comes
out clean, its done.
Cool 10 minutes in the pan. Remove
and cool completely. Slice and serve with
a dollop of rum-laced whipped cream. I

DINING OUT
From fine dining to lunch spots to bak-
eries, the area has choices to satisfy
any appetite. Call for hours.
O
nce upon a time, there was a
rundown little shack of a tavern,
dropped into the center of East
Vinelands fertile agricultural
territory. Unknown to most, it catered to a
simple, shot-and-a-beer clientele of farmers
and migrant workers.
Located at the intersection of Panther
Road and Italia avenues, the joint was
rumored to have been a speakeasy during
Prohibition years.
Then, two decades or so past, local
entrepreneur John Barretta purchased the
property.
Dubbing his new venture Good Sports,
he invested time, money and effort turning
it into a proper, upscale sports bar-style
pub and eatery.
Still off the beaten path, even as many of
those farm fields were being converted into
housing subdivisions, it remained a sort of
locals-only hidden gem.
Eventually Barretta sold, and the place
slipped backwards towards its previous
state of oblivion.
That all began to change in June of 2011,
when Rob Buono, chef/owner of nearby
Eastlyn Golf Course and its associated
restaurant, The Greenview Innjust down
the road at 4049 Italia Avenuetook pos-
session of the enterprise.
Renaming the establishment The
Double Eagle Saloon, he and family invigor-
ated it with a revised menu, updated dcor
and most importantly, a restored sense of
purpose.
Taking their name from the dual con-
cepts of a very rare golf score, combined
with a patriotic tribute, the Buonos
breathed new life, delivering exceptional
gastropub fare as well.
Late morning, on the final sunny day of
November, an initial harbinger of good
doings afoot here were tantalizing plumes
of blue smoke drifting from Buonos pair of
outdoor smokers across the parking lot.

Staff, including day manager Gary Apel
and barkeep Kristen Pullman, provided a
warm, instant welcome even while going
about their start-of-day duties.
The Double Eagle features a diverse,
colorful array of draughts, 16 in all. These
include the familiarGuinness, Blue Moon,
Long Trail and Stella Artoisalong with
more obscure elixirs like Woodchuck cider,
Blue Point toasted lager, Evil Genius
Doomsday and Italian import, Moretti.
All on-tap beverages are listed on an
erasable board in the attached dining space,
including alcohol content, for easy refer-
ence.
Buonos first task after completing the
acquisition was to address the buildings
major physical issues. He replaced the roof,
ceiling and exterior siding, and then loving-
ly restored an original wooden floor
through extensive cleaning and refinishing.
But, as Rob is quick to point out, he has-
nt done so alone. Wife Hollyhandling
human resources and also serving as Event
Coordinator-along with kitchen staff
Jerry Coker, Johnny Arkano and Matt
Carchidi plus bartender Denny Blough, all
played crucial roles in the relaunch.
In fact, the Double Eagle recently added
another family member, Buonos younger
brother Nick, as a partner. Together, the
siblings have an ambitious future planned.
Live acoustic music from performers
Rob Lipkin, T.J. Fry and Eleven Eleven
front man Jeff Guiliani has already been
added two nights weekly.
Nick indicates that they hope to include
a pasta night special soon, probably
Wednesday or Sunday.
He also anticipates doing more with a
large exterior deck space, hoping to convert
it to a year-round seating area.
Rob allows that This was always a good
spot for wings and burgers. But this
columnist believes his addition of authen-
tic, slow-cooked, wood-fired bar-b-quehis
choices are mesquite and pecanhas
pushed the culinary envelope to a seriously
elevated level.
Like the luscious brisket sandwich, a
long roll overstuffed by tender, tangy, thinly

Side-by-Side
German POWs worked alongside Cumberland County
civilians, even after their countrys surrender.
T
he German POWs housed in the
compound at Fairton and
employed by P.J. Ritter
Company in Bridgeton had
always believed that Germany would pre-
vail in World War II. They worked dili-
gently and peacefully in the food process-
ing plant, side-by-side with civilian labor-
ers whose family and friends were fight-
ing the Nazis in Europe, but they awaited
the employment of their countrys secret
weapon to put an end to the Allies efforts
to stop Hitler. The circumstance had the
potential to become volatile, but nothing
of the sort transpired.
According to former Ritter Personnel
Director Earl L. McCormicks account of
the Cumberland County POWs, War on
the Home Front, the news of Germanys
gradual defeat did not provoke any con-
frontations. Reports of the D-Day invasion
that filtered into the plant through radio
news broadcasts created a hushed work
environment with civilians and POWs
each praying for the success of their side.
The Allies success at Normandy ush-
ered in the next wave of German POWs.
The British wished to keep prisoners
away from the European battlefield and
began transporting the captured to the
U.S. Because of the successful record with
POW employment at P.J. Ritter, Fort Dix
approached the company about expand-
ing and furnishing POW labor to other
area factories in dire need and who would
bear part of the camp expense,
McCormick writes. We would and did
provide help for the glass, municipal
power and other organizations for the
duration [of the war].
The POWs still believed in Germanys
victory and followed the news of the
blitzkriegs that besieged England. But as
1945 progressed, their hopes diminished.
By May 7, when Germany signed the
unconditional surrender marking V.E.
Day or Victory in Europe, Fort Dix was
wary of sending the prisoners to work.
The POWs, however, requested that they
be allowed to report to Ritter as usual,
having accepted the defeat of their coun-
try and preferring to spend the day
engaged in their labor.
Reluctantly, permission was granted
and the days events bore the respect the
prisoners and civilians had developed for
each other. According to McCormick,
there was no taunting of the POWs or
derisive comments over the wars out-
come. The civilians did erupt in a well-
deserved celebration, at which time the
German prisoners silently marched to the
edge of the nearby Cohansey River which
bordered the west side of the P.J. Ritter
plant, where they stood at attention in
somber and orderly lines.
The German surrender did not mean
the release of the POWs, however. The
war with Germanys ally, Japan, was still
ongoing and the U.S. was not ready to
begin closing camps within the country.
Following V.E. Day, McCormick reports,
the Cumberland County POWs continued
to work at P.J. Ritter without incident, but
they were a sad dejected and worried
group of men who took an interest in
how America handled the war with Japan.
Believing that Germany was the only
country capable of creating an atomic
bomb, they were surprised and awed
when the U.S. unleashed its own nuclear
devices and seemed to enjoy the final vic-
tory celebration over the Japanese by the
P.J. Ritter factory workers.
The housing of German POWs in
Cumberland County became a learning
experience for both residents and prison-
ers. Unlike other camps in the country,
the Fairton compound and Ritter work-
place were never hostile environments or
sites of unruly behavior. Instead, the
POWs came to understand how the aver-
age American lived and the locals came
to comprehend the differences between
cultures. In his account, McCormick
details discussions that he and others
had with the Germans on topics ranging
from educational systems to history and
philosophy.
Some of the residents saw past the uni-
forms and accents and treated some of the
POWs as they would a friend or even fam-
ily member. One complaint that reached
Fort Dix was that some of the local work-
ers were mothering the younger soldiers.
Communication between the prisoners
and the plant were consistently main-
tained and trust became a key ingredient
in a formula that wasnt always productive
in other areas of the U.S. but that proved
most successful for this location.
With the Japanese surrender, all
German POWs held in the country await-
ed their imminent release. Those in the
Fairton compound would prove unique
even in this. I

faciliities including sand volleyball courts,
basketball courts and childrens play-
grounds throughout the grounds, and an
athletes village with housing for up to
3,000 athletes.
The crown jewel is a planned 10,000-seat
Monolithic Dome, which will house an
indoor track, basketball courts, and flexible
seating to adapt to various events.
Phase 2 of the proposed project includes
a 5,000-room hotel complete with a confer-
ence center and three restaurants and a

On Thursday, January 17, GVCC mem-
bers will hear about the Economic
Outlook for 2013 from homegrown, but
world-renowned economist David R.
Kotok. He last spoke to the group in May
2011, so his insights on the economy both
here and abroad since then are eagerly
anticipated.
Kotok cofounded Cumberland
Advisors in 1973 and has been its Chief
Investment Officer since inception. He
holds a B.S. in economics from The
Wharton School of the University of
Pennsylvania, an M.S. in organizational
dynamics from The School of Arts and
Sciences at the University of
Pennsylvania, and a masters in philoso-
phy from the University of Pennsylvania.
Kotoks articles and financial market
commentary have appeared in The New
York Times, The Wall Street Journal,
Barron's, and other publications. He is a
frequent guest on financial television
including Bloomberg Television, CNBC,
and Fox. He also contributes to radio net-
works such as NPR and media organiza-
tions like Bloomberg Radio among others.

Project Thanksgiving's
4th Annual Turkey Drive
Project Thanksgiving's 4th annual
turkey drive was an amazing team effort
and success again this year. Despite sev-
eral major obstacles to overcome, such as
the sluggish economy and Hurricane
Sandy, co-founders Steve Plevins and
Alex Kaganzev still managed to put
together an extraordinary team effort.
With much assistance, they collected
1,184 turkeys (including frozen turkeys
and monetary donations for the pur-
chase of frozen turkeys), 126 pies, four
large boxes of fresh produce, hundreds
of canned goods, and numerous cook-
ies/pastries.
In comparison, 330 turkeys were col-
lected the first year, 550 the second year,
and 728 last year.
The majority of these donations were
given to the local Salvation Army for dis-
tribution in Cumberland and Gloucester
counties. A sizable amount was given to
Ron Zold, owner of Venice Italian Eatery
in Pitman. Project Thanksgiving had a
working agreement with Zold this year
to provide him with as much food as
possible, then he prepared it and provid-
ed free Thanksgiving Day dinners at his
restaurant to veterans and their families
as a way of saying Thank you for serv-
ing our country.
