Summer is Booked
Recently, three students from St. Marys School visited the
South Jersey Regional Medical Center and The Frank and Edith
Scarpa Regional Cancer Pavilion. They came with boxes full of
hand-made cards created by all the students at St. Marys during
art class. Each card contained a special message meant to cheer
up the patients and to let them know the students care.
The patients spirits were lifted, said a SJH employee, and
the air was upbeat and positive for the rest of the day.

Getting Old
Is Hell
M
y baby sister, who retired last year,
visited last week and we got around
to swapping retirement stories.
She was a state (Michigan) worker her
entire career and, even though Michigan is
in pretty much the same kind of fiscal shape
as New Jersey, she seemed pretty happy with
being out to pasture.
These days, shes traveling, babysitting
(four grandchildren, ages four and under),
watching movies and just hanging out.
The hardest thing for her, she said, wasnt
finding things to occupy her time. Rather,
she said, it was trying to fit all the things she
wanted to do into the time she has.
But, she said, she finally understood what
Mom was talking about when she used to
say, getting old is hell.
Mom had the double whammy of lots of
very real physical ailments plus Alzheimers
(which turned to dementia).
We traded a few favorite Mom stories and
I asked, What about Dad? He seemed to
have it figured out.
Dad retired at 60 and lived to 94. Pretty
happy the whole way. Hed worked in auto
plants as a machine repairman his whole life
and one of the first things he did after retire-
ment was buy himself a whole new
wardrobe: mostly suits and sport coats.
He had spent his whole working life in
dust, dirt and grime, he said, and was going
to enjoy his golden years on his terms.
My sister then told me the whole story on
Dads last big battle with the government.
When my Dad was in his early 90s he
was involved in a couple of fender benders.
In the first, he ran into one of those big con-
crete light poles in a supermarket parking lot.
Only a few days later he hit a patch of
black ice and slid into the car in front of his.
Not much damage in either case but,
because there were police on hand in both
instances, Dad got a couple of careless driv-
ing tickets. Not long after, Dad got a notice
from the state (Michigan) that he would
have to surrender his driving license.
That was something my brother and sis-
ter, who lived nearby and saw him all the
time, had been advocating for some time.
Dad didnt see it quite that way and
checked to see what, if any, options he had.
The state told him that in order to have
his license reinstated he would have to com-
plete a drivers ed course and reapply just as
if he were a brand new driver.
Dad did all of that and my sister took him
to the local municipal office where he com-
pleted the paperwork and paid his fee.
While they sat and waited for the pro-
cessing to be completed, my sister said she
tried once again to talk him out of driving.
Then a lady from Motor Vehicles came
out and called Dads name.
He stood up, walked over and introduced
himself. (Dads signature move: hed stick out
his hand and say, Hello, my name is Leo
Doe. Pleased to meet you.)
Of course, he was dressed in a suit and
tie. But the kicker for him was that he was
pleased to meet just about everybody.
Its the kind of thing you cant fake and
people responded to it.
The lady held out his new drivers license
and, according to my sister, said something
about enjoying our roads as a new driver.
Thank you very much, Dad said, But
you keep it. Then he turned, my sister said,
and walked right out.
He kept his car until my next visit home
by then Id retired and would visit him for a
week or so a couple of times a year.
Hed kept the car, he told me, so Id have a
way of getting around when I was home.
I told him to sell it and buy a bigger TV.
The next time I visited the car was gone,
but Dad had found a couple of nice widow
ladies who were happy to drive him wherever
he wanted to go.
I had a nice visit and also enjoyed the
luxury of a female chauffeur (and the senior
bus) during my stay.
One night we were watching some sports
event and I asked Dad if he missed having
the freedom of driving.
Not much, he said. The bus comes
when it says it will and the ladies like it that
Im a little dependent.
Then he spilled the beans.
The reason he quit driving, he said, was
that there was a young woman with a baby in
the car hed slid into.
The black ice didnt cause the accident,
he said. He knew he was a little slower.
If it was just me, he said, Id still be
driving. But there are lots of other people out
there, too.
My sister had never heard that part of the
story. But she wasnt surprised.
Yup, she said, that sounds like Dad. I
But Leo Doe seemed to have it all figured out.

Blizz All-Star Cheerleading Donates Locks of Love
On Sunday, June 12, the Blizz All-Star Cheerleading team member and coach-
es, along with family and friends, teamed up with the Cynthia Roberts Salon in
Vineland to donate 214.5 inches of hair to Locks of Love. Locks of Love is an
organization that makes wigs for children with medical hair loss. Everyone
involved in the donation began growing their hair over a year ago in preparation
for the big day. 19 pony tails, ranging from 6 to 23 inches, were donated.
In 2008, several members of the group donated 132 total inches of hair to
Locks of Love. This time their goal was to beat the previous donation and give
more than 200 inches of hair. With a final tally of 214.5, that goal was surpassed.
Much of the credit goes to the eight stylists at Cynthia Roberts, who gracious-
ly opened their doors and volunteered their time on a day when the salon was
supposed to be closed.

six-week (July 13th- August 17th) program,
entitled You Are Here, designed to help
kids with their summer reading, and engage
them in reading other books as well.
The program kicks off with an hour and
a half Read-A-Thon, in which registered
participants will be granted free time to
read. Those who read for the entire hour
and a half will be treated to a pizza party
and a complimentary book.
Other activities during the six weeks
will include a short film making session, a
movie day, and a book discussion, all in an
attempt to get teens reading, and thinking
creatively throughout the summer.
(The program) gives them a head
start, said Margiotti. Its early on in the
summer so theyre not panicking at the end
of August, thinking Oh my god, I cant get
this assignment done.
Margiotti also helped design the Vineland
summer reading lists, with the help of other
library staff members, with kids in mind.
When we formulated the lists for the
schools, she said, We tried to put out
books that were interesting to kids today.
These arent just books that were published
in the 1950s. Certain books are not going to
appeal to certain kids. Its a wide range of
things kids will like.
Another option for Cumberland County
teens fretting over their summer reading is
an in-depth discussion of Oliver Twist, a
classic Dickens novel that can be found on
almost every summer reading list, being
held at Bogarts Book Store in July.
I had a mom who said her daughters
frantic doing the summer reading, said
Katelyn Phillips, manager at Bogarts. So
were doing a discussion group of Oliver
Twist. I was an English major, so I figured I
could assist in that way.
The discussion group at Bogarts is a test-
run, but if it goes well, they plan on doing
more of them throughout the year to help
kids with all of their reading assignments.
Bogarts also does a monthly raffle of a $25
gift card for kids and teens, which includes a
75% discount on any used book purchased.
All in all, it seems that there is plenty of
assistance out there for teens feeling over-
whelmed by their reading assignments. And
the common goal among everyone is to get
teens reading throughout the summer, not
just for school, but in general.
I feel like your vocabulary and your
ability to put together sentences when writ-
ing is vastly improved by reading, said
Phillips. The more that you read, the more
that you take in, the more help youre get-
ting. Its always nice to see kids with big,
bulky books like Twilight or Harry Potter. It
may not be the most difficult read, content
wise, but theyre still learning from it. I

picture this coming August.

Hill East High School in New Jersey for
a 49-mile ride, and a 9 a.m. start at

As the largest single-day American
Cancer Society fundraiser in
Pennsylvania, the Bike-a-thon raised
$1.4 million last year and more than
$18 million in its 39-year history. The
events motivational theme Who are
you riding for? recognizes that nearly
everyone knows someone who has
been touched by cancer.
Cumberland County
SPCA Food Collection
Here at the shelter we are caring
for an abundance of animals who have
found themselves in need of help.
Normally summer is a busy time for
animal shelters anyway, but for some
reason we are receiving more animals
than usual. Maybe it's the heat, or
families planning vacations and they
are unable to provide accommoda-
tions for the pets. Whatever the rea-
son, we are dealing with larger num-
bers of stray, surrendered, and cruelty
case animals than normal. With the
demand for care being so high, we are
quickly running out of food for the
animals. We desperately need dry food
for dogs, cats, and kittens.
Any help provided would be greatly
appreciated.
While the animals in our care aren't
picky eaters, sometimes foods with
red dye can make their bellies upset.
If you can avoid foods with red dyes
that would be wonderful. Donations of
food can be dropped off at the shelter
(1244 N. Delsea Dr., Vineland).
Donations of gift cards for Petsmart,
Shoprite or Walmart would also be
wonderful so that you don't have to
lug bags of pet food from the store to
the shelter. We can have volunteers
visit the stores and purchase the food
as needed. Please spread the word to
anyone you know that may be willing
to help us care for the animals. And
thank you from everyone at the
Cumberland County SPCA & Animal
Shelter.

Laury Services Recognized
With Century Club Award
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and the U.S. Department of
Energy recently recognized Laury
Services (formerly Laury Heating) with
a 2011 Home Performance with ENER-
GY STAR Century Club Award.
Laury Services is one of only 12
contractors in the nation to receive
this distinction in 2010. Only 53 com-
panies were recognized nationwide.
This Century Club Award recognizes
Laury Services as one of a select few
that have improved the energy effi-
ciency of more than 100 homes in the
past year through the Home
Performance with ENERGY STAR pro-
gram. Home Performance with ENER-
GY STAR, sponsored by the New
Jersey Board of Public Utilities, offers
homeowners a comprehensive, whole
house approach to improving energy
efficiency and comfort, while saving
money on utility bills and helping to
protect the environment.
As a participating contractor in the
New Jersey Board of Public Utilities
program, the Laury Services staff
received specialized training and is
equipped with diagnostic tools to
inspect homes inside and out to deter-
mine where improvements are needed.
Rather than focus on a single prob-
lem, like an old heating or cooling sys-
tem, not enough insulation in the attic,
or leaky windows, Laury Services
looks at how improvements can work
together to give homeowners the best
results. Depending on the improve-
ments selected by the homeowner,
saving 20% or more on their annual
utility bills is possible.

Jersey Board of Public Utilities presents

Volunteers Cleanup Trash At Alliance Beach In Norma
Volunteers from the tri-county area came out on the morning of Saturday June
25 to cleanup trash at Alliance Beach in Norma. Volunteers included local resi-
dents concerned about the trash issue at the beach and members of the South
Jersey Young Marines and Vineland High Schools SHAPE Club. In all, sixteen vol-
unteers came out
and cleaned up
nearly one ton of
trash that had been
illegally dumped or
littered at the site.
Alliance Beach is a
beautiful recre-
ational spot on the
Maurice River that
anyone can picnic
at or use to launch
canoes. However,
the privilege to use
the beach has been abused by people who leave their garbage at the beach and
along the river. By cleaning up the beach, the volunteers are making the beach a
safer, more enjoyable and scenic recreational spot. Additionally, by cleaning up
the beach, which is privately owned, volunteers are making the site a more attrac-
tive property that can be preserved by the State of New Jersey and included in
the surrounding Wildlife Management Area. The cleanup was sponsored by the
AmeriCorps NJ Watershed Ambassadors Program and Pittsgrove Township.
Pittsgrove Township graciously provided a dumpster at the site and took the trash
to the landfill and picked up the tipping fees. A Salem County Clean Communities
grant will be used to reimburse the township.
Volunteers pose for a group picture after cleaning up trash at Alliance Beach in Norma.
Weisman Children's Medical Day Care Hosts A
Unique Event for Special Needs Children
For the first time ever, Tumble Wheels, which is a mobile gym program, pro-
vided its services to children with special needs. The event was held at Weisman
Childrens Medical Day Care Center at 1206 W. Sherman Avenue in Vineland on
June 21st. Tumble Wheels brought its bus
equipped with balance beams, a trampoline,
monkey bars, rock climbing, rings, a ball pit,
parachute, incline mats and more, all for the
purpose of providing children with a way to
have fun while learning valuable lessons on
ways to exercise and improve body aware-
ness. Tumble Wheels employees are CPR
trained, and a Weisman nurse was also on
hand at all times to observe.
"This was a wonderful event that was
extremely beneficial to the well-being of the
children here at Weisman Childrens Medical
Day Care Center, and the entire time they
were learning and improving, they had fun, said Weisman Childrens Medical
Day Care Administrator Marita Sullivan.
From left: Tumble Wheels Director, Krystle Goodman, and Weisman Children's Medical

The Chambers Green Initiatives Committee would like
to know about green energy and practices your business

company prosper. We would like to feature your project
in our newsletter to share with members. This com-
mittee is focused on educating our membership on
opportunities, issues and general information
regarding environmentally friendly practices.
Please e-mail us at info@vinelandchamber.org, or
call us at 856-691-7400, if you are interested in
participating in this Green Initiatives Committee.
Merighis Savoy, Rossi Honda Go Solar
A project is under way to install hundreds of solar panels next to Merighi's
Savoy Inn at East Landis Avenue and Union Road.
ASC Solar Solutions, which is based in the township, is in charge of the project,
initiated a few months
ago. By now, all 432 of
the 64-by-33-inch panels
have been installed.
The panels are
expected to generate 100
kilowattsenough ener-
gy to provide 90 percent
of the Savoy Inn's elec-
tricity, ASC project man-
ager Chris Searles said.
At Rossi Honda,
three canopies have been
built to shade more than
100 customer and dis-
play vehicles while gen-
erating power with roofs lined with an array of roughly 980 solar panels. They
were complete in mid-June.
Honda is doing a study to reduce energy at all its dealerships, and Rossi
Honda is one of the first dealerships to build solar canopies. Owner Ron Rossi
expects to host a visit by corporate officials to view the now completed project,
but no date has yet been confirmed.
Rossis project, which started in late March, could cover 90 percent to 95 per-
cent of his dealerships electric bill. The panels are expected to generate roughly
223 kilowatts of power.
The canopies also will have lighting activated by motion sensors, so lights are
only on when needed.
Several other chamber members have solar projects in development, including
Landis Sewerage Authority, and Capital Bank. These projects and others will be
spotlighted in upcoming issues of News & Views.
Ron Rossi, of Rossi Honda, stands next
to the solar panels which provide both
shade and power in the parking lot of
his dealership.
Tom Merighi, Jr. stands in the gardens at the rear of the
Merighis Savoy Inn property, where a newly installed
solar array can be seen in the background.

Local Businesses Support
Troops
The employees of Newfield National Bank,
along with David Surdam of Chemglass
joined forces to supply Treats for Troops.
Treats for Troops was the idea of Lisa
Miles and Michele Sterchele, both employees
of Newfield National Bank. They held a
candy drive among their co-workers to collect
goodies for some of the troops serving aboard
the USS Enterprise. Joe Sterchele, Micheles
husband, got Chemglass involved and
formed a partnership to ship the sweets over-
seas to the troops. The vice president of
Chemglass, David Surdam, generously donat-
ed the packing and shipping of the candy.
Newfield National Bank is a locally
owned and operated financial institution
serving Cumberland, Gloucester and parts
of Cape May counties. Chemglass is a local-
ly owned and operated scientific instrumen-
tation company manufacturing customized
glassware worldwide.
YMCA Offers Swimming Options
The YMCA of Vineland offers to the com-
munity many opportunities to learn about
water safety and skills. The Y holds its
SPLASH program each year to teach local
kids about water safety. These classes are
currently underway for youngsters from age
three to grade eight. Beginning the last week
in June, the Y will also schedule a variety of
summer swim lessons. These are designed

Students Collect Pennies for
SJH Foundation
Elementary students from Pineland
Learning Center recently collected 33
pounds of pennies to benefit the South
Jersey Healthcare (SJH) Foundation. For one
month, students called on their family
members and friends to raise a grand total
of $60, or 6,000 pennies.
The Foundation is extremely grateful
for the generosity of the students at
Pineland, said Carolyn Heckman, execu-
tive director of the SJH Foundation. Each
penny makes an impact on what the
Foundation can do for SJH, and helps
enable SJH to provide high-quality health
care services that improve the lives of all we
serve.
According to Ms. Christina Pierce, their
teacher, the PLC students have previously
participated in penny drives for the soup
kitchen in Millville and sneaker recycling
initiatives.
Pierce says that community service is a
major part of the learning experience at
PLC: Our school takes pride in encourag-
ing volunteerism to all of our students, no
matter their age. Our students have a ton of
heart, and they always impress us with their
dedication to the causes they support.
Salvation Army Holds
Christmas in July
For many years, we have known in The
Salvation Army that need knows no season.
This is certain with the economic turmoil
our communities are experiencing and the
increase in families seeking assistance. The
Salvation Army has been challenged with
providing more assistance with less funding
available. As a result, the Salvation Army is

The Y Adds New Fun to Camp
Hiawatha
Are you looking for somewhere for
your 6- to 8-year-old to enjoy lots of sum-
mer fun? Ooey Gooey Week, Luau Week,
and Talent Week are just a few of the
events the American Camp Association
accredited Vineland YMCA has to offer
for Camp Hiawatha this summer season.
The camp will run from June 20 through
August 26 from 9 a.m to 4 p.m. Register for
one week or all 10 at the cost of $140 per
week. Before and after care is available for
an additional $20, which allows campers
to be dropped off as early as 7:30 a.m. and
picked up as late as 5:30 p.m.
Each week will be filled with age-
appropriate arts and crafts, special guests,
and a visit from the ice cream truck.
Children can participate in daily activities
which include swimming in the YMCAs
75-foot x 42-foot indoor pool, swim safety
lessons, and group sports. There will be a
special appearance by Corbin the
Magician the first week of camp.
Also new to Hiawatha this year is the
Explore 30 Camp Reading Program,
which encourages 30 minutes of reading
daily. This American Camp Association
program aims to help children continue
learning during the summer by encourag-
ing reading each day.
A lot of learning is lost during the
summer, said Theresa McKay-Booth, the
YMCAs senior program director. We
want to stop or minimize that loss.
Camp counselors will spend 30 min-
utes a day reading with campers and cul-
tivating their learning skills.
For more information on Camp
Hiawatha or the Vineland Ys other sum-
mer camps, contact Booth at 856-691-
0030, ext. 313 or via e-mail at child-
care@ccaymca.org.

VINELAND'S 150TH BIRTHDAY
FREE MUSIC LECTURES.
Learn how composers through the ages have responded to war at the opening installment of the summer series
of free music lectures by Paul M. Somers, sponsored by the Bay-Atlantic Symphony, on Thursday, July 21,
from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Margate Public Library, Bloom Pavilion 8100 Atlantic Ave., Margate, NJ.
Discover how, from the early Renaissance through Vietnam, composers have responded in a variety of ways.
Future lectures, all on Thursday nights at 6:30 p.m. in Margate and 7 p.m. in Avalon, will explore the musical
influences back and forth between America and Europe on July 7 (Margate) and 14 (Avalon); what happens
when a composer leaves home for a very different place on August 18 (Margate) and 25 (Avalon); and how
composers musically depict the seasons of the year on September 1 (Margate) and 8 (Avalon).
This series is in addition to the monthly music lectures series, sponsored by the Symphony and given by
Somers, which runs from September through May at the Monroe Township Library in Williamstown, Ocean City
Public Library, Millville Public Library, and the Margate Public Library.
Somers, is a composer, performer, founder of Maurice River Music, was for 25 years the harpsichordist for
the Virtuoso Strings of New York, and was a reviewer for the Star-Ledger.
The lectures are co-sponsored by the libraries in which they are given.
For further information, call the Bay-Atlantic Symphony at (856) 451-1169, or Somers at Maurice River Music
at (856) 506-0580. For the Margate series, you can also call the Margate Public Library at (609) 822-4700. For
the Avalon series, you can also call the Avalon Free Public Library at (609) 967-7155.
