Beginning at dusk, a free outdoor movie
screening of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will top
off the evening. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and
enjoy a great evening as summer fades into
autumn.
L
ike the dog that didnt bark in the Sherlock
Holmes mystery Silver Blaze, the deadline for
recalling Vineland Mayor Ruben Bermudez has
now passed with barely a weak growl.
As I write this on Sunday, conversations with knowl-
edgeable sources have convinced me that no petition to
recall will be filed on Tuesday, the statutory deadline.
The recall campaign may not have been the mayors
biggest worry in his fractious first 20 months, but it
hung like a shroud in the shadows, as its leading propo-
nents often did, and molded political mud into a unique
creation never seen before in our city. The implications
of this failed effort are many and elusive. This is one
view of them.
MAYOR BERMUDEZS TIME IN OFFICE
Often, a recently elected executive gets a grace peri-
od where he can unfurl his ideas, appoint key people,
and structure his systems. Following his 2012 election,
Mayor Bermudez got a short one. From the beginning,
a series of unusual and unpopular decisions by the new
mayor and an aggressive stance about how he would
rein in the good old boys network and undue influ-
ence by self-interested business and political leaders
made him an often-struck lightning rod.
Even though all five city council members were, at
least nominally, elected on the Bermudez slate, the
storm between the two branches of government, cen-
tering on appointments and dismissals, caused quick
deterioration in the governmental framework and a

Recall Commentary
Continued on page 20
Barely a year after Mayor Ruben Bermudez took office, a commit-
tee filed notice of intention to circulate a recall petition. The
extended deadline to turn in those petitions was yesterday,
August 19. The committee is not expected to have gathered
enough signatures to force a special election to oust Bermudez.

County Vocational Board Appoints New Assistant
Superintendent
The Board of Trustees of the Cumberland
County Board of Vocational Education
recently announced the appointment of
Mario Olsen of Mullica Hill to the position of
Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and
Instruction for the Cumberland County
Technical Education Center.
In this capacity Olsen will be responsible
for the complete administration of the
schools curriculum. He reports to
Cumberland County Technical Education
Center Superintendent Dr. Dina Elliott.
According to Dr. Elliott, Olsen will work with
the schools teaching staff, administration,
board and with community members to mon-
itor, design and implement a curriculum that meets the schools overall objectives.
Olsen has been as an administrator in Vineland Public Schools for nearly 10
years, having served most recently as a principal at Vineland High School. Prior
to that position, he was the principal of Veterans Memorial Intermediate School
and originally joined the school district as assistant principal of Anthony Rossi

The new Assistant Superintendent holds a masters degree in school leadership
from Wilmington University and a bachelors degree from Rowan University.
Cumberland County Technical Education Center will transition from a shared-
time to a full-time high school in 2016 at which time it will also move from its
current location in Bridgeton to a 200,000 square foot facility to be constructed
adjacent to the campus of Cumberland County College. Since 1969, the school
has provided workforce and college-focused curriculum options to county high
school students and adults. Its career and technical education programs include
nursing, pharmacology, dental science, sports medicine, automotive technolo-
gies, construction trades, cosmetology, culinary science, engineering, information
technology and law and homeland security.

Testa Donates to Locks of Love
Local attorney Michael Testa, Jr. recently
made a donation of his hair to Locks of Love.
He had been growing his hair for more than a
year and was inspired to make the donation
after his law partner, Renee Scrocca, and his
friend, A.J. Pistilli (a Franklin Twp. prosecu-
tor), both succumbed to cancer within the
past year. Testa said that both had related to
him their concerns about hair loss resulting
from treatment.
I saw them both struggle pretty badly
and, as much pain as they endured, their
concern about the loss of dignity from the
hair loss struck a chord with me, said Testa.
I had heard from some of my female clients
that they had donated to Locks of Love, but I
hadnt heard about many guys doing it. A.J.
was the one who actually suggested I make
the donation and I agreed wholeheartedly
that it would be a great thing to do.
Testa visited www.locksoflove.org and read
about the guidelines for donation and dis-
cussed it with Sam Reyes, his barber at
Xaviers Barbershop in Vineland. On a Saturday
morning in early August, Reyes cut 12 inches
of Testas hair and sent it to Locks of Love.
Locks of Love is a non-profit organization
that provides hairpieces to financially disad-
vantaged children in North America under age
21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss
due to cancer or other conditions. The organi-
zation uses the donated hair to make wigs
that they provide to children to help restore
their self-esteem and confidence, enabling
them to face the world and their peers.
Testa, a partner with Testa, Heck, Scrocca
& Testa in Vineland, is involved with numer-
ous community organizations, including the
Vineland Regional Dance Company, the
Vineland Downtown Improvement
District/Main Street Organization, the
Cumberland County Regular Republican
Organization and the Cumberland/Salem
County Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Testa encourages others considering mak-
ing a hair donation to do so at the salon or
barbershop of their choice in the area.
Salvation Army
Summer Program
The Vineland Salvation Army had a very
successful summer program, with recre-
ational activities including swimming, field
trips, movies, and computers.

Dietz Selected for National Student Leaders Program
This summer, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation selected Sarah Dietz, a Vineland resident and recent grad-
uate of Vineland High School to take part in the 2014 Student Leaders program, which annually awards more than 220
high school juniors and seniors from around the country with paid eight-week summer internships at local nonprofit
organizations. Since 2004, more than 2,000 teens have been recognized as Student Leaders.
Despite gains in the overall job market, teens still have the highest unemployment rate at 21 percent. Research indi-
cates that teens who are gainfully employed have lower drop-out rates, are more
likely to continue their education to pursue long-term career goals and ultimate-
ly show an increase in lifetime earning potential.
Our Student Leaders have the opportunity to gain valuable real-world experi-
ence while developing critical leadership skills, said Bob Doherty, New Jersey
president, Bank of America. At the same time, theyre helping high-performing
local nonprofits address community needs its a win-win for everyone
involved.
Dietz interned at the Boys and Girls Club of Vineland.
In addition to the paid internships, students attended a week-long Bank of
America Student Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., in July. Summit activ-
ities included a service learning project and a series of interactive workshops,
including Capitol Hill briefings, sessions on financial education and leadership
development skills, as well as panel discussions focused on global health and
the issues of housing, hunger and jobs. Students were also provided financial
tools and resources to help them acquire better money habits, including a ses-
sion at the summit led by LIFT, a national nonprofit focused on financial literacy.

irst, I want to thank the Board of
Directors of Vineland Downtown
Improvement District/Main Street
Vineland for placing their trust in me to
take over the role of Executive Director.
Gary Holloways last day on the job was to
oversee the Food & Wine Festival that took
place on Saturday, August 9. It was a beauti-
ful day outside and we had a nice turnout
of people who came to sample lots of great
food choices from many of our local restau-
rants along with wines from Balic Winery
and Southwind Vineyard & Winery.
I personally want to thank Gary for the
great work he did for both the Landis
Marketplace and Main Street Vineland.
Hell be greatly missed here in Vineland
and we wish him and his family the best
as they relocate to Vermont.
I also want to thank the volunteers
who helped with the Food & Wine
Festival, as well as well as the sponsors
and everyone else who contributed to the
events success. These events dont come
together by themselves and I appreciate
everyones energy and dedication.
As a lifelong Vineland resident, and one
who typically is downtown every day of the
week, I have a pretty good feel of the needs
and concerns of our community as it relates
to our downtown. I understand the many
assets that we have in our center city area,
as well as our challenges. I also understand
that our City, particularly our business and
professional community, is made up of much
more than just our downtown. That being
said, its my charge to help assist in the eco-
nomic revitalization of our center city core.
This cannot be done by one person
alone; it will take a village to accomplish
great things. Main Street Vineland has tra-
ditionally been blessed with having many
hard-working volunteers from all walks of
life. My goals for downtown are broad and
far-reaching, but can only be accom-
plished with the help of others. Im grate-
ful for the hard-working Board members,
staff, and volunteers who are already com-
mitting their time, money, and resources
to making our Main Street a nicer place to
live and work.
Were also very much in need of finding
others who desire to roll up their sleeves
and get involved. No matter if you only
have a few hours to help us plant flowers in
the fall, or have more time and wish to
serve on one of our standing committees,
we have a place and a need for your help.
Ill soon be scheduling an open house
event to invite those who wish to be
involved in our organization to come out,
meet our organization and find out how to
participate. In the meantime, however,
you are free to contact me at 856-794-8653
or at rswanson@vinelandcity.org. Feel free
to also check out our website at
www.mainstreet-vineland.org and our
Facebook page. I

energy to work with chalk in hand and

els with sketches and drawings vying

& Wine Festival held on August 9.
There were 23 contestants in four

attendees and received ribbons.
The winners were:
Parent & Me:

Baltimore, MD
Ages 6 to 12 years:
1st place: Jennifer Osorio, of Vineland
2nd place: Rya Clark, of Vineland
3rd place: Dimitri Santiago, of Vineland

All of the contestants showed a
tremendous amount of creativity,
said Donata Dalesandro, who coordi-
nated the Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest.
It was really fun and exciting to see
them transform blocks of bare side-
walk in to works of arts. We have some
really great sidewalk artists out there.

Does and Donts
{ BY PAUL J. DOE, FORMER EDITOR, CUMBERLAND NEWS }
Regional
TourismWoes
M
ost people dont think of it
this way, but what goes
around, comes around is
just another way of saying
history repeats itself.
Or maybe they changed it because
nobody today seems to put too much faith
in history.
I think its important to keep in mind
though, because were right on the cusp on
another one of those seminal moments, or,
at least, Atlantic City seems to be.
I moved here in 84, a few years behind
the initial gold rush of casino operators
looking to cash in on the promise of an East
Coast Las Vegas.
I remember my first daylight visit to AC
and marveling at the hundreds, maybe
thousands, of busses discharging their
treasure seekers into those enormous
pleasure palaces along the ocean.
At the time my family was still living
back in Michigan and I was living at the
Millville Motor Inn.
A co-worker at the Daily Journal invited
me to join him and his wife on a casino bus
trip sponsored by his church.
We would, he said, receive food and
cash vouchers at the casino, which would
be worth more than the price of the trip.
Unlike many (make that most) things
that sound too good to be true, this turned
out to be the real deal.
My only previous visit had been in the
middle of the night when they had flown
me and my wife here for a weekend to try
and sell me on taking the job as executive
editor of Times Graphics.
Wed spent the day in Philly and had a
nice dinner with the publisher and his wife
at the old Midway Tavern.
The night was winding down so the
publisher suggested we make a trip to AC,
just for the experience.
Well, we pulled into AC sometime
around 11 p.m. and ended up parking in a
private lot a couple of streets back from the
casinos. Not a particularly smart move but,
at the time, I didnt know any better.
All in all, though, it turned out to be a
positive visit: I won a couple hundred
bucks at blackjack and a gaggle (Is that the
right word?) of ladies of the evening
complimented my wife on her outfit as we
walked back to our rental car at 3 :30 a.m.
The bus trip, not so much.
On the trip down I was regaled with sto-
ries of relatives of fellow passengers who
had hit it big on the slots. None of the fel-
low passengers, but lots of their relatives or
acquaintances.
Well, Im not a slots player, so 1 cashed
my voucher and stuffed the coins in the
first empty machine 1 sawignoring the
advice of my fellow bus passengers to look
for the hot machines.
My co-worker and I found a couple of
seats at a blackjack table and began to play.
It was either a $2 or $5 table and I was
sitting under the gun to the left of the
dealer.
We were doing okay until I had a 15
showing and the dealer turned a six. When
I asked for a card my co-worker leaned
over and said, you stupid blankety-blank,
youve just ruined it for all of us.
The rule of thumb is: Never take a hit
when the dealer could go bust. He wasnt
kidding.
On the bus trip home I told him a story
(maybe true, maybe not) about Winston
Churchill.
As a young man, Churchill was a highly
regarded drinker and womanizer.
At a dinner party, he was well into the
wine and made a comment that an older,
snobbish lady next to him found offensive.
Mr. Churchill, you are drunk, she said.
Madam, he replied, I may indeed be
drunk, but in the morning Ill be sober and
youll still be a snobbish boor.
Actually, he referred to her a little more
colorfully, but this is a family newspaper.
My point was this: In the morning I
wasnt going to stop being a bad blackjack
player, but Id still be his boss.
Thats a story that somebody should
pass along to the AC decision makers.
They may wake up someday (soon) with
a third of their casinos closed, but they will
still have the boardwalk and the ocean.
Those are the things that made AC in
the first place and they will still be there no
matter what. I
Were talking about Atlantic City here and how its
future will evolve, one way or another.

Landis and
Work Ethics
L
ast week, we completed the series
on what transpired in Minotola
during the Jonas Glass Works
strike, a political standoff
between businessman George Jonas, owner
of the glass plant, and a group of workers
seeking union representation. Filled with
lawsuits, legal rulings, injunctions, threats,
murder and arrests, the strike plodded on
for years like two feuding families who had
long forgotten the source of their disagree-
ment. The plant continued production dur-
ing those years and workers fortunate
enough to have had an alternative turned to
their farm work. By the end, Jonas sold his
business, vacated the area and took owner-
ship of unionized factories.
Because all of this occurred in Atlantic
County shortly after the death of Vineland
founder Charles K. Landis, we dont have
any comments by Landis about the strike.
But he did leave behind an undated essay,
an article perhaps that may have found its
way into a newspaper, to give us an idea of
where he stood on issues such as these.
The manuscript of the essay exists in the
Landis Collection of the Vineland
Historical and Antiquarian Society and is
titled How to Build Up a Town. At first,
speculation might suggest these are helpful
hints from Landis on how to successfully
establish a new settlement or maintain a
marketing plan to draw new residents. But
Landis makes his intentions clear right
from the start by declaring his concern
isthe earning of good wages by the work-
ing people. He then illustrates for the
reader the consequences of poor salaries:
Without [good wages] they cannot buy
lots and build houses even if they are aided
by a Building Association
Throughout the essay, Landis provides
what his title promises by directly address-
ing the issue of the worker in relationship
to family and employer while deftly inti-
mating that a healthy, thriving town is the
result of good wages. Take, for example,
his frank commentary about unfair
employers: The most stupid of all men are
employers who believe in lowering wages
and degrading laborwithout good wages,
good work cannot be turned out. It is a
notorious fact that the most successful
manufacturers in the world are not those
who have paid the lowest wages, but who
have turned out the most works. This can
be seen in America and Europe [in the
manufacture of ] boots and shoes, clothes
and other materials
Vineland was a manufacturing town in
those days, providing such materials as
shoes, pearl buttons and other commodi-
ties, so its not surprising that Landis dis-
cusses the lack of success for low-paying
manufacturers around the world before
bringing his ideology closer to home.
The essay, which is only a handful of
pages, waits until nearly the end to deliver
its strongest statements in favor of the
worker: The worst slavery on earth is
when a working man is held down to low
and unjust wages with a starving family
staring him in the face and he cannot help
himself
Its easy to imagine how the Jonas work-
ers would have embraced these points, pos-
sibly turning Landis essay into their doc-
trine during the strike. Its also possible to
imagine how Jonas would have reacted to
the accusations and less-than-kind state-
ments about employers unwilling to pay
their workers a good salary. And its likely
that Landis and Jonas never actually dis-
cussed business techniques during the deal
in which Jonas acquired a portion of
Landisville to create Minotola.
The vitriol unleashed in the final two
sentences of the essay delivers us to the
intended destination of this writing exer-
cise. Now focused on all U.S. towns, Landis
adroitly turns the legacy and gravity of the
issue into one of national concern before
offering a portentous warning that, one
might guess, may not have been intended
only for his era: America was settledby
the oppressed working people of Great
Britain and the rest of Europe to get away
from this so that they should be free &
equal and have their just rights, the greatest
of which was their honest earnings. This is
what has made America great like a lighted
torch in the eyes of nations and when these
traditions are ignored and forgotten she
will go down as quickly from her high
position as a flaming torch thrown into
the sea. I
Landis essay gives us an idea of where he stood on
employer/employee relations.
Health Department Reports
Bat Confirmed Positive for
Rabies
On Wednesday, August 13, 2014, the
Vineland Health Department was notified
by the NJ State Health Department Rabies
Lab that a bat sent in for testing has been
confirmed positive for rabies. The bat was
found in the area of S. Spring Rd in
Vineland. A young child may have been
exposed to the bat and post exposure
treatment has been administered.
The Vineland Health Department
would like to remind residents how seri-
ous rabies can be. It is extremely impor-
tant to have a bat tested for rabies if you
find it in a room with a sleeping person or
in a room with a child or other individual
that may not know they have been
exposed or who may not be able to advise
you of the exposure. Do not release the
bat out of your home. Shut the door to the
room containing the bat or if the bat can-
not be confined to a room, leave the house
and shut the doors and windows. Then
call Animal Control at 856-696-1212. They
are trained professionals and will come to
secure the bat for testing. This is asked of
all our residents in order to ensure that
individuals and pets were not exposed.
The State Rabies Lab will test any bat
found in the living areas of a home, even if
there is no known or suspected exposure.
It is estimated that 1-2% of any bat popula-
tion is infected with rabies at any given
time. We must remember to be extremely
careful around stray animals and to avoid
touching wild animals.
For more information about rabies, go to;

dex.shtml or call the Vineland Department
of Health at 856-794-4131.

ONE FREE RECITAL COSTUME
spate of lawsuits. Ethnic undertones coursed
through the citys body politic. As Vinelands
first Hispanic mayor, Bermudez brought with
him personal sensitivity to that communitys
needs and a long-range desire to have its
members share a more powerful role in run-
ning the city. His intentions, and ensuing
tactics, were resisted, in part, by what can
fairly be regarded as non-Hispanic forces.
Regardless, some of the mayors decisions
baffled honest observers and convinced
many he was ineffective or biased in his
appointments, lacked administrative skills,
and didnt cooperate with others in the gov-
ernment. His tapping of William Lutz as
business administrator and his attempt to
fire solicitor Robert Tonetta were probably
his most glaring errors. Bermudez did not
reply to a request for comment.
THE RECALL EFFORT
Barely waiting for the minimum statutory
period required before starting a recallone
year from the officeholder assuming his
officethe five-member Committee to
Recall Mayor Ruben Bermudez, led by Tami
Harold, launched its campaign in the holi-
day season of 2013 with this statement on
its official filing:
We feel Mayor Bermudez has neglected
his sworn duties, exhibited gross misuse of
office, and has shown incompetence in the
performance of the duties of Mayor which
has had an adverse effect upon the city and
citizens of Vineland.
In response, Bermudez said, in part,
The people distributing this petition are
lying and cannot be trusted. You could say
the stage was set: An inexperienced, maver-
ick mayor against a group without account-
ability to normal political mores.
According to Joshua Spivak of Wagner
College, an attorney and recall election
expert, New Jersey is a viciously difficult
state for mounting recall campaigns, which
he characterizes as the hair trigger form of
government. State law mandates signatures
from 25 percent of the registered voters in
the geographic area to force a recall elec-
tion. Despite hundreds of efforts, there have
only been a handful of successful recalls in
the states history.
For the Vineland recall petition to suc-
ceed, it needed 9,447 valid signaturesmore
than the 9,369 total people who cast ballots
in the runoff election in December, 2012
when Bermudez was elected over former
Mayor Robert Romano by about 1,200 votes.
The group had 160 daysuntil May 19to
get them, but a judge later extended that
deadline to August 19.
After a few missteps early this year, the
committee began signature-gathering by
using canvassers, flea market tables, lawn
signs, pizza and beer parties, and a social
media presence. Petitions were hosted by a
few local businesses including Penalverts,
Marcianos Restaurant, Moes Auto Sales,
and Dominicks Pizza, where a forlorn clip-
board remained on the counter last Friday
awaiting moot signatures.
The group used obfuscation and secrecy
about the number of signatures collected
and the identity of any signor, citing the des-
perate need to avoid retaliation from
Bermudez. Soon after the January launch,
the committee reported it had thousands of
signatures. In April, Harold told the media
there were 7,600, with only about 1,800 to
go. When the group went to court against
City Clerk Keith Petrosky in June, its attor-
ney, Alex Wazeter, told the judge there were
5,119 confirmed signatures and 2,000-3,000
more collected but not checked yet.
THE COURT CASE
On June 5, Cumberland County Superior
Court Judge Richard Geiger gave the
Committee to Recall an extension of 75 days
for the petition effort and held it could use
out-of-towners and voters registered
throughout New Jersey to gather signatures
as paid or unpaid circulators.
In the first application anywhere of EON
v. Guadagno, a Mercer County case decided
two months earlier, Judge Geiger agreed
that the new standards of EON didnt
restrict circulators to registered voters of
Vineland. Holding that the recall committee
had been hampered by the original rules
containing that restriction, he granted the
extra time. The mayors attorney, Mary Lou
Garty of Camden County, argued in vain
against what she called the do-over.
I dont know how many extra signatures
the group got in the overtime, but changing
the rules in the middle of the game wasnt
enough for them to succeed. I also dont
know who paid for the committees chal-
lenge or the clerks and mayors defense.
MEDIA COVERAGE
The witchs brew of council criticism of
the mayors increasingly bizarre stances,
fueled by strident recall committee state-
ments such as Bermudez is an embarrass-
ment to the city, juxtaposed with the
RECALL

mayors steadfast declination to make excul-
patory statements (or any statements) to the
media, led to a frenzy of coverage.
Just two small items, I believe, can encap-
sulate that reporting. First, after a kerfuffle
about the mayors inaccurate and possibly
unlawful responses to Open Public Records
requests in January, The Daily Journal ran an
opinion piece penned by the editor, which
had the unusual feature of being published
on page one. Second, in reporting on the
court case giving the committee an exten-
sion, the South Jersey Times ran a surreal
photo of Mayor Bermudez grimacing as he
bit into a lemon. Newspapers love stories
that increase readership and this saga was a
sundae with two cherries on top.
The riveting events of the recall cam-
paign in Vineland drew attention beyond
our city. Stories ran consistently in the
Courier Post and Newark Star Ledger.
Philadelphia media interviewed Harold at
length and cameras at City Hall have
become routine. Spivak ran several long
articles on his national website.
THE ANTI-CLIMAX
Petrosky, the city clerk and a diamond of
a gentleman in the sometimes dark world of
local politics, told me several times about the
pressure of working as the recall election
official and custodian of records under the
Open Public Records Act. (Sometimes when
I talked to him, his office was stacked sever-
al feet high with work awaiting his atten-
tion.) If the petition had been filed, his
office, with no outside help, would have had
to verify one-by-one that each signature was
from a currently registered Vineland voter
whose address matched. Non-compliant
ones would have been thrown out prior to
determining that 9,447 were still valid. If not,
wed be back to where we are now.
My best analysis based on my sources is
that Tuesdays deadline passed with nothing
for three main reasons. First, the legal
requirements are highin my mind, properly
soto prevent what almost happened
unless its clearly and convincingly justified.
Second, there was no movement among any
political leaders to endorse the petition
drive publicly (or oppose it), thus leaving
undecided citizens with no signposts to fol-
low on the dark road. Third, the committee
must have calculated they didnt have
enough signers to risk the perceived wrath
of the mayor coming down on each one of
them when the names became available.
Instead, its leadership dumped the entire
effort and ignored the sincere political
expression of the many voters who signed. I
hope there will be a thank you, were sorry.
You know, if I had put my name on the
thing, I would have written a column pro-
claiming why I did it, not ask that my name be
withheld. I propose, as part of the citys recov-
ery, that an unimpeachable board of citizens
(does this exist any longer?) review the peti-
tions and release simply the number of people
who signed and the number that would have
counted. Dont you want to know?
The party is over. The lavish party house
of misrepresentation and hate is now just a
cement block foundation holding an aban-
doned website, disconnected numbers, and
no responses to my phone messages to
recall leaders. Trying to predict news that
would come out before my commentary did,
I asked a member of the original committee
if he thought petitions would be filed. I
have no idea, he said. I just do my job.
We are all Petrosky. We dont have to
read anymore about it, lawn signs will
(hopefully) come down, pressure will ease
on Spivaks trigger, social media comments
so vile they cant be printed may abate,
Hispanic politicians with aspirations may
overcome all the turmoil after a time, and
the mayor wont have to face the voters
until November, 2016.
If he does choose to face them, hell be
weakened. Weakened by his own lack of
good judgment and the firestorms sur-
rounding it. Weakened by forces arrayed
against him. Weakened simply by political
winds, including some derecho-force winds.
And, yes, weakened by a nominally civic
petition drive that spiraled out of control
into a now-dead albatross around the neck
of the city. Which, ironically, is what his
opponents say about the mayor. I
Paul Doe contributed reporting to this account.
IF IM WRONG...
(from N.J.S.A. 1927A-13)
If the threshold of valid signa-
tures is reached, the recall election
official (Petrosky) will issue a
Certificate of Sufficiency and
schedule a recall election at the
next regular or general election or
at a special election, if requested
by the Recall Committee on a date
that does not conflict with statutory
requirements and no recall elec-
tion can be held on the day of a
primary election. It cant be within
six months prior to the general
election in the final year of the
term of the official to be recalled. A
vacancy resulting from the resigna-
tion of the elected official sought
to be recalled shall be filled in the
same manner provided by statute
for filling vacancies and no recall
election shall be held. M.B.
THUNDERBOLT POWER
Former Mayor Robert Romano
was not directly involved in the
recall effort, but did say that if an
election were forced by petition, he
would run against the man who
ousted him and is openly disgusted
with the Bermudez administration.
He told me the recall failed partly
for lack of verifiable signatures.
There were people from
Millville who signed it. They wanted
him out so bad, they didn't care,
he said heartily. M.B.

Rossi School Holds Retreat for Parents, Students.
Rossi Intermediate School
held its 3rd annual "Rossi
Retreat" on Wednesday,
August 13 at the school on
Palermo Avenue.
The all-day informational
session was held as a transi-
tion tool from elementary to
middle school for more than
100 parents and students.
Parents and students were
split into individual sessions.
Parents met with administra-
tion, guidance and teachers to
receive important information
on life in middle school.
Students worked with Youth to
Youth members and Rossi
alumni in different "getting to
know you" activities. A joint
session for parents and stu-
dents was led by Keith Elias,
former NFL player for the New
York Giants and Youth Alliance
representative, on how to
make a smooth transition to the upper grades.
Following the Retreat, lunch was provided and served by Safety Patrol and
National Junior Honor Society members. The Rossi PTO held a Welcoming Fair that
was open to all parents and students. The fair held several fun activities for students,
and gave parents a chance to purchase supplies for the upcoming school year.
There will be a district-wide open house for all parents and students on Tuesday,
September 2, from 1 to 3 p.m. School reopens on Thursday, September 4.
Books and paper wont be the only
things waiting for students in South
Jersey when they return to school this
September. Also there will be the
opportunity to join one of the areas
newest service-learning clubsInteract
for middle and high school age stu-
dents, ages 12 to 18, and Rotaract for
college students, ages 18 to 30. Part
of Rotary Internationals New
Generations Youth Service program,
named for the younger members of
the Rotary family, these clubs are
growing by leaps and bounds through-
out South Jersey as local Rotary Club
members work with schools and com-
munities to bring them to life.
In fact, South Jersey is home to the
most Interact clubs in the country.
Little did Paul Harris know when he
founded Rotary for business profes-
sionals in 1905, that it would one day
add thousands of youth to its ranks,
as we work to prepare the next gener-
ation of leaders, says Melanie
Druziako, Youth Service Director for
Rotary District 7640 and a member of
the Rotary Club of Vineland. We are
proud of what weve accomplished so
far and look forward to growing this
important program in the year ahead.
In addition to Interact and Rotaract
clubs, New Generation Youth Services
also includes the Rotary Youth
Leadership Awards (RYLA) and Youth
Exchange programs. The Rotary clubs
in District 7640 (South Jersey) sent
165 high school juniors to RYLA this
summer, says Druziako. Our largest
delegation to date, these students
spent a week at the Richard Stockton
College of New Jersey where they
gained valuable leadership skills,
learned about career opportunities,
and met many new friends along the
way. RYLA is one of our most popular
programs and an important part of
Rotarys investment in the future.
The Rotary Youth Exchange program
is also a favorite as it gives young
adults the opportunity of a lifetime.
Exchanges can be short or long-term
and students live with host families.
While the specifics differ from country
to country, students can spend up to a
year abroad attending school, learning
a new language, experiencing a new
culture, touring the country, and so
much more. The Rotary Club of
Vineland recently hosted a student
from Italy. She lived with a Rotary fam-
ily and spent 10 months in the United
States. While here, she attended
Vineland High School, graduated Cum
Laude with her class, was a member of
the Vineland High School Interact
Club, attended RYLA, and made a life-
time of memories. The District will be
sending nine students abroad as Youth
Ambassadors for the coming year.

child or school can become involved

Service programs, contact Melanie
Druziako by sending an e-mail to:
