Preschoolers, toddlers, staff, and Y members all partic-ipated in the national FACES Blow Bubbles 4 Autismevent held last Friday at the YMCA of Vineland andacross the country.

Some of them took a bit oftime to master the technique, but they all had fun for agood cause. Their names were registered with the

In addition to opening and closingstatements, the candidates were asked thefollowing six questions:

1. In your opinion, what should be theschool board’s top two priorities?

2. Lack of parent involvement in achild’s education appears to be a chronicproblem. What ideas do you have to elicitgreater participation from parents, espe-cially from those of “at risk” students?

3. The Vineland School districtreceives $129.9 million in state fundingwhich is 78 percent of the district’s budg-et. There is a strong probability of losingmillions in state funding in the future.How would you propose to provide aquality education while the current eco-nomic conditions are calling for dramaticreduced funding to our schools? Whatareas do you propose to cut?

4. Public meetings have been heldregarding the possible consolidation ofthe “English as a Second Language” pro-gram, from multiple schools into theSabater School. Where do you stand onthis issue?

5. Governor Christie is proposingreform plans regarding tenure and teacherperformance evaluations. He proposesgrowth in test scores, grades and othermetrics should constitute half of eachteacher’s annual evaluation, and districtsshould have their own subjective evalua-tion based on other criteria determinedlocally. How do you propose we addresstenure and teacher performance evalua-tions?

6. School violence and bullying issuesare a serious problem in all school sys-tems across the country. What plans doyou have to address these issues?

Federal Budget Deal DisappointsThe recently brokered agreement on the2011 federal budget is hardly a victory fortaxpayers or future generations. Cutting$38.5 billion may seem like a lot on paperbut in reality that number represents lessthan one percent of annual federal spend-ing. Add to this the fact that $54 billionwas added to the deficit in the eight daysleading up to the compromise, and onecan see that the deal is hardly productive.Congressman Frank LoBiondo’s support ofthis short-sighted legislation is disappoint-ing, but hardly a surprise. His past supportof Cap and Trade, Card Check, earmarks,and now this budget raise serious concernabout whether or not he is capable of pro-viding the leadership we need to get out ofour current economic situation and pro-vide job growth and economic expansionin South Jersey. We deserve better.

The schools, the hair salons,churches, family and friends, as well as theDream Foundation, all opened their heartsto come to our aid with not only emotionalsupport, but financial assistance as well.The prayers, the gas cards, the get-wellwishes to Michael are all blessings forwhich we will be forever grateful.

Words of Praise for Local WomenI don’t think I will ever understand whypeople are so hesitant to be complimentaryof other individuals publicly in and aroundtheir community. I know the masses enjoyreading dirty laundry. It seems everywhereyou turn these days there is a plethora ofbad news. And if you dare to say some-thing good about other people in the news-paper, beware the guillotine that awaitsyou. But I think a dose of good news nowand again is absolutely harmless.

In that light, I would like to acknowl-edge three women who are most deserv-ing of appreciation from the public. Trustme on this, however. None of thesewomen seek any compliments. Not a wordof praise. But they are most deserving ofit. They are Sister Grace Scandale, princi-pal of Our Lady of Mercy; Linda Wheeler,the Hall of Fame secretary at Sacred HeartParish; and Sister Tarcisia, the pastoralminister at Divine Mercy Parish.

In these challenging economic times,Sr. Grace has provided a steady hand atNewfield all-girls' high school. She has

made a total commitment to the school’sathletic progran, as the Villa now has fieldteams in every sport, thus increasing itsenrollment. Under Sr. Grace’s watch, theVilla has made giant strides both academi-cally and athletically. None of which hap-pened by accident.

LindaWheeler is a woman that manypeople know. But if you do not, her star hasshined brightly as the long-time dedicatedsecretary at Sacred Heart Parish. She is awomen who wears her heart on her sleeve.She is always there for the parishioners ofSacred Heart Parish to lend a helping handand provide comfort and a smile duringtimes of monumental sadness and great joy.

Last but certainly not least is Sr.Tarcisia, a true joy for anyone who meetsher. Her duties at Divine Mercy Parishinclude visiting the homebound as well asthose in hospitals and nursing homes. Nosmall task, indeed. This women’s endlessenergy and compassion, along with a keensense of humor, truly makes her a remark-able person.

I admire all three of these women asdo many others.

Autism Support Network, whose goal wasto have 37,000 bubble blowers in thecountry. The Y children and staff wereglad to help the cause of increasingawareness of autism.

Christian Pratts, 20 and a victim ofautism, spoke briefly on the disorder.Dana Blakely, a YMCA staff member,involved the YMCA in the bubble blowingfun after her 10-year-old daughter Enijahinspired her to take action.

“I think it’s something everyone shouldcome and be a part of,” said Blakely. “Younever know who the next victim could be.”

Students at Winslow ElementarySchool also participated. According toCaitlin Cavagnaro, a Winslow teacher ofstudents with autism, the challenge was to

break the Guinness World Record for peo-ple blowing bubbles simultaneously forone minute.

Also participating were 40 members ofthe VHS National Honor Society and 10from Sacred Heart, and volunteers fromthe Kohl's department store "Kohl's Caresfor Kids" program, said Cavagnaro.

Blow Bubbles 4 Autism was the brain-child of Isabelle Mosca, a Margate resi-dent who heads an autism support net-

work and who has an autistic son.When her son Kyle was in preschool,

she wracked her brain trying to come upwith activities that he could share withhis classmates. That's when she realizedthe boy loved blowing bubbles.

People all over the world tried to breakthe Guinness Book of World Records lastyear by simultaneously blowing bubbles atmultiple locations.

The current record is 34,529 peopleblowing bubbles simultaneously at nearly200 locations in England in 2007. In thecoming weeks, Guinness will establishwhether this year’s bubble-blowing hasbroken that record. Either way, many morepeople have been made aware of autism. I

“Paris” Comesto the LandisThe art of dance seen on the silver screen was aninspiration to aspiring local dancers.

Inthe category offilmmaking, it’s cer-tainly true that theydon’t make ‘em like

they used to, but when itcomes to the movie musi-cal, particularly the art ofdance, they especiallydon’t. Today’s rapid-fireediting, a holdover of theMTV era, is guaranteed toglue modern fans of thegenre to the screen, but itcomes at the expense ofmissing a performer plyhis/her craft in real timein a complete or extended take. That mightbe why a 1951 film like An American inParis, which will be screened at the LandisTheater Thursday night at 7:30, is such aspecial event.

A collaboration between directorVincente Minnelli and actor/choreographerGene Kelly and featuring the music ofGeorge Gershwin, An American in Paris is afilm about art and love. The art appears inmany forms, from the paintings of protago-nist and G.I. expatriate Jerry Mulligan(Kelly) to the compositions of would-beconcert pianist Adam Cook (Oscar Levant),the performances of rising star singer Henri(Georges Guetary) and the sounds ofAmerican jazz musicians playing in thebasement bohemian clubs. It’s also in theGershwin compositions that provide an

American soundtrack tothis European setting, inMinnelli’s direction and inthe marvelous dancesequences that Kelly tapsor glides through on side-walks, streets and cafes.

The love portion is a bitmore complicated. There’sNina Foch’s Milo (“As inVenus de,” she jokes), anart patron who takes a lik-ing to Jerry’s paintings andthe painter himself, andLise (Leslie Caron), adancer engaged to marry

Henri but who has caught Jerry’s attention.Screenwriter Alan Jay Lerner’s dialogue

serves to develop Milo’s character, but theartists portray their personalities throughtheir talents, as Lise is seen in a dance mon-tage demonstrating her contradictorynature. While Jerry’s canvases show uswhat he is as an artist, it’s his body languagethat best indicates his personality andmoods. As he awakens in his tiny room thatalso serves as his studio, the choreographyof his movements as he hauls up his bed,removes his breakfast from a bag and setsup a table inform us of how ordered hisexistence is and hints at what might happenwhen that order is disrupted.

Director Vincente Minnelli’s trademarkwidescreen framing provides its usualexpansive canvas for the dazzling


Technicolor tones that nudge the film into astylized reality. Except for some second-unit moments filmed in Paris, the moviewas shot on the MGM soundstages, allow-ing Minnelli and cinematographers Al Gilksand John Alton more control of the film’ssets and colors that mirror the shades andtextures of Jerry’s paintings. It’s only in thestudent artists’ ball sequence, when thetruth is finally confronted, that the directorstrips the moment of any brilliance by attir-ing all those in attendance in black andwhite outfits as stark as the choices con-fronting the characters in this film.

Kelly’s 17-minute closing ballet, an encap-sulation of Jerry’s relationship with Lisethrough movement, color and Gershwin’stitle piece, is still breathtaking today, withMinnelli’s tracking and crane shots preserv-ing extensive moments of each section. Evenwhen cuts and dissolves are used, they arenever intrusive or conspicuous.

Maxine Chapman, founder of theVineland Regional Dance Company(VDRC), remembers being captivated bythe dance sequences of this AcademyAward-winning film during its early yearsin theaters.

“It was just an amazing piece of chore-ography,” she said recently. “Kelly and FredAstaire were the people you wanted toemulate, who you admired. They were thetwo most important dancers you knew atthe time. I think they inspired me to wantto dance.”

In the early 1980s the VRDC performed aversion of the American in Paris finalsequence with Chapman’s choreographyduring a program of Gershwin compositions.

“I did not go back and look at [the film]when I re-choreographed it,” saidChapman. “I just tried to remember the joyand the thrill of the whole thing, the spiritof what it was about.”

The power of Kelly’s performance stillresonates with Chapman today.

“To see him enjoy and love it so much, itwas just amazing,” she explained. “It justgave you such a joy and a love and an appre-ciation for dance. And it was so much fun.”I W

MovingForward

AsIwrite this, the City Council justapproved the use of $1.77 millionof Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ)funds for some important down-

town revitalization projects. The projectsinclude acquisition of a lot on Elmer Streetfor additional parking and the revitalizationof the former Official Time Out Sports Cluband Grille at Sixth Street and Landis Avenue,as well as the redevelopment of the old firehouse at 18 S. Sixth Street and two otherbuildings—the former Nu Jeru clothing andrecords building and the former Rite-Aid,both on the 600 block of Landis Avenue.

This is great news because these projectsare necessary to the ongoing revitalization ofdowntown and it is the best way to makeaccomplishing this possible.

With the opening of Landis MarketPlacewithin the next couple of weeks, we absolute-ly need to take a proactive stance on any suchprojects that will help put our “best foot for-ward.” The market will be bringing a signifi-cant number of people to our downtown—Vinelanders and people from out of town.Weshould expect that they are going to come forthe grand opening and keep on coming. Wehave this opportunity to create the right firstimpression of our downtown and we need toseize the chance.

Parking that is plentiful and easy to find isa must. The perception of inadequate parkinghurts downtowns and drives people to mallsand shopping centers (where people mayhave to walk the same distance but it seemscloser). If people cannot find a place to park,or if the available parking is unclearly

marked, that will be enough to drive peopleaway, as well. We had this opportunity toacquire an unused lot and make another con-venient area to park. It was the right, proac-tive thing to do. The need for parking doesnot stop with this, however, and more initia-tives are in the works.

As our downtown attracts more people,we need to make sure that we have the rightmix of businesses for them. Acquiring, reno-vating, and redeveloping these properties isan important move in this direction. VinelandRedevelopment Director Sandy Forosisky isconstantly in touch with prospective busi-nesses and is working hard to help businessesestablish themselves.

Such revitalization is difficult, especially inthese tough economic times, without a part-nership of the public and private sectors. TheLandis Theater Performing Arts Center is acase in point. Despite the hard work andnoble efforts of a group of dedicated volun-teers to revitalize the building, it took cooper-ation from the public sector to make thesevolunteers’ dreams a reality, and give us some-thing of which we all can be proud.We can nolonger count on a few people with deep pock-ets to be the private benefactors of such proj-ects. In a time when the need for funds forvarious causes is great, these people’sresources are being stretched, thus underscor-ing the value of public-private partnerships.

We have challenges ahead, but we havecome a long way already and City Council’svote on the latest group of revitalizationprojects keeps us moving ahead in aproactive way. I

Being proactive on downtown revitalization is vital.

As the school year winds down, thousands of parents aremaking decisions about their children’s summer activi-ties. An interesting, diverse camp may be an enjoyableoption. This year, the American Camp Association

(ACA), www.aca.org celebrates the 150th anniversary of camp.Traditional rural camps have always focused on physical activitiesand sports, but diversified contemporary camps have added multi-ple specialized themes.

Modern camping also aims to provide emotional benefits forchildren who may struggle in a complex world. Ironically,advanced technology may overdo the parent/child relationshipand communication, which may stifle independence.

The ACA stresses the four “C’s” of camping—compassion, con-tribution, commitment and character. At camp, children learn tocompromise, solve problems, think independently and shareresources.

These are three choices among Cumberland County’s numer-ous diverse camps:

APPEL FARM ARTS CAMPThe Appel Farm Arts Camp, an overnight program, has helpedyoungsters over seven years old develop their own creativity for 50years. The camper population of 60 percent girls/40 percent boyslives in eight to 12-camper bunks, with two counselors per cabin.Classes and social events are co-ed.

The program includes two- ($3,000), four- ($5,400), six-($7,300) or eight-week ($8,300) sessions. Scholarship and tuitionassistance is available. Camp Director Jennie Quinn has carefullyselected more than 90 professional artists and arts educators,resulting in a 1:3 staff to camper ratio.

Five 75-minutes classes are held Monday to Saturday. Each day,campers take two majors, two minors and enjoy a free period.Available selections are dance, theater, music and recording arts,photography, visual arts, creative writing and sports and swimming.Campers must supply their own instruments and cameras.

“Sports are not a priority, but we also do not promote any spe-cific activity,” says Quinn. “Our campers’ abilities range from

As each session ends, campers performfor families and fellow campers.

Beach days during week two and weeksix give campers time to travel to Avalon.Bunk Areas take a recreational excursion oradventure during weeks three and seven.Department trips, tailored for specificmajors or minors, may include excursionsto the Philadelphia Orchestra, thePhiladelphia Museum of Art exhibits, aWheaton Arts glassblowing session or film-making workshops at Drexel University.

Campers and staff enjoy three nutritiousmeals, plus snacks each day. Served buffet-style, the menu balances food options thatinclude vegetarian items that may be grownin the nearby organic garden. Special dietsare always accommodated.Appel Farm Arts Camp, 457 Shirley Road,

THE ELLISON SCHOOLThe academic private school is offering twocamps—Ellison Explorers (grades K-6) andLittle Explorers (toddlers and preschool-ers). Director of Marketing DevelopmentMary Jane Kinkade says, “The nature atEllison allows us to be flexible. These kidsare our family.”

Each week, a different theme providesage-appropriate, hands-on learning activi-ties. Field trips and their frequency vary byage group and are extra. All fees must bepaid in advance. This year, the schedule ofexciting and educational themes includes:

• Under the Big Top: Kids attend clownschool and visit Castaway Cove in OceanCity. Campers use the computer lab to cre-ate a virtual circus. Little Explorers visitStorybook Land in Atlantic County.

• The Green Machine: Campers learnabout conservation and create artworkfrom recyclable materials, and also play rel-evant games like “recycle jeopardy.” LittleExplorers discover nature and visit theAtlantic County Park's Nature Center.

• In Perfect Harmony and MakingMusic: Singing, dancing and playing instru-ments throughout the week.

• Crazy Camp Olympics: Campers com-pete in Ellison’s Summer Olympics, com-plete with opening ceremonies, torch light-ing, daily medals and athletic competitions.

• Go with the Flow: Water games andsports galore at Sahara Sam’s.

• Planes, Trains & Automobiles:Transportation theme includes air, train andauto crafts. Visits to The Franklin Instituteand its IMAX “Legends of Flight” show,plus the Train Factory, highlight the week.Little Explorers study everything abouttransportation, from tricycles to airplanes.

• Robots Rule: The Cumberland County

4-H’s Robotics program lets Explorerslearn this fun technology inside and out-side the lab. Little Explorers animate pup-pets with a puppet stage show. Kinkadesays that each day’s program builds on theprior one, and she encourages campers toattend the full week.

• Ahoy Matey: The summer ends on thehigh seas. After navigating a course andlearning about legendary pirates on a livepirate cruise, Explorers create pirate mem-orabilia. Little Explorers dress in costumesto read pirate stories and play pirate games.They too sail on the pirate cruise.

LANDIS PERFORMING ARTS CENTERFollowing its 2010 renovation, the LandisTheater Performing Arts Center is hostingits first “Broadway on Landis” summercamp program for children ages 5 to 14.During mid-July, two one-week sessionsoffer all aspects of live theater, includingmusical comedy, drama, script writing,dance, set/costume design and back stagetechnical work. Campers also create the-atrical arts and crafts.

Teddie Petrie, volunteer coordinator anddirector of children’s programming, says,“We aim to make the Landis a safe environ-ment for children who love theater, but pre-fer not being tied to a school activity. Kidslearn better when they are having fun.”

Thirty children have the opportunity toexperience the components of show pro-duction each week. The morning’s hands-on arts and crafts sessions pertain to thetheater. Afternoon courses focus on acting,singing, set design and directing. Theseprojects and camper performances are pre-sented on the “exhibition of talent” night,held on Friday, July 15 and Friday, July 22.

Campers are organized by age and inter-ests, but some may overlap based on thegroup’s composition. “It is fluid becauseeveryone must rely on each other for thefinished product. Five and 13-year-olds canoften learn from each other,” says Petrie.

Petrie says the “Broadway on Landis”program coordinators treat all campers likeadults, and also expect good behavior fromthem. “These are good lessons for theirconduct. Theaters are a business, and thekids hear and watch the operations of aprofessional organization,” he states.

Camp dates are July 11-July 15 (weekone) and July 18 -July 22 (week two). The

$225 weekly tuition does not includelunches. Families with two or more partici-pating children pay $200 per week perchild. Registration for the “Broadway onLandis” summer camp is on a first-come,first-served basis.Landis Theater Performing Arts Center,

Preheat oven to 375°. In amedium-sizedsaucepan, bring potatoes and enough coldwater to cover them to a boil. Lower the heatand simmer until potatoes are fork tender,approximately 15-20 minutes. Drain potatoes,then return them to the saucepan. Addmilk and2 tablespoons butter to the potatoes andmashuntil smooth, season with salt and pepper, andset aside. Run your fingers under the skin ofeach chicken breast to separate it from themeatcreating a “pocket,” but leave skin attached onone side of the chicken. Place a quarter of themashed potatoes under the skin of each breast,gently pressing to evenly distribute. Place the

stuffed chicken in a roasting pan and drizzlewith olive oil, season with salt and pepper, andany other favorite seasonings. Bake for about45 minutes or until juices run clear. Transferchicken to a serving plate. Add the lemonjuice, parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons ofbutter into the pan juices, scraping up anybrowned bits from the bottom.

Thedaily newspaper gave ascathing review of the citizenryhere in Vineland recentlybecause of the lack of people

running for school board. They took us allto task for complaining about the prob-lems, but not coming up with solutions.They were spot on, in my opinion, fortheir goading us into action, for inspiringpeople to run for school board and to helptackle the enormous issues that our localeducation system has.Although I may take that challenge in

the future, now is not the time for me. So Iwas very pleased when my good friendCarlos Mercado came into the bakery sev-eral weeks ago with a school board appli-cation in hand. I eagerly signed the nomi-nating petition, since there are few thathave the qualifications and dedication topublic service that Carlos has. His bio isfilled with feats of volunteerism, educa-tion and devotion to family and public life.And although I don’t always agree withhis politics, he is a true moderate and isable to see both sides of a debate andmake a judgment not based on ideology,but on what he knows to be true.As soon as I signed the petition, I asked

what I could do to help. Naturally, Ithought of hosting a fundraising event atthe bakery. I thought it would be fun, notonly for Jill and me, but for the staff aswell, since Carlos and his family have beenfixtures at The Sweet Life for years. Timewas short, though, so we started planningand executing the event right away.After picking a date, the fun part

came… selecting the menu! Jill and Ibrainstormed this quite a bit. We wanted

the menu to be light enough that peoplecould walk and talk, but not so light thatpeople left hungry. It had to be interestingand tasty (of course), but not too expen-sive. And we wanted to highlight theofferings that we have at the bakery forthe guests who had never been herebefore, while keeping it interesting for ourregulars who would be attending.We decided to go heavy on the cheese

and breads, since Carlos said that Bellviewwines would be brought to the event.Those particular items pair extremelywell with wine, so that seemed like anappropriate route to take. Naturally then,we thought of having thin slices of meaty,

salty salami and some different spreadsfor the breadl. Maybe quiche would begood, too, easy to pick up and tasty aswell.The day of the event was a whirlwind

of activity, as we were preparing itemsthat we didn’t normally make and increas-ing the volume of items that we did. Jillvolunteered to make an olive tapenadewith pungent kalamata olives and sweetroasted garlic. She pitted quite a few ofthe little wet black olives, pureeing themwith the roasted garlic and seasoning. Thefinished product was amazing, salty and

intense and would pair perfectly with acheese like Brie, thick and unctuous withbutterfat.Robyn got to roasting peppers; they

were charred and blackened to the pointof looking inedible, but magically flavoredunder the burnt and blistered skin. Thepeppers were finished with an olive oiland red wine vinegar marinade.Brittany tackled the quiche, blanching

fresh broccoli rabe from Malench FarmMarket, then sautéing in olive oil, onionsand garlic. This yummy mixture, alongwith shredded Swiss cheese, went into acrusty browned shell that she had alreadyrolled out and blind-baked. An eggy cus-tard was poured over the broccoli rabeand cheese and into the oven it went,where it baked to a firm, yet creamy tex-ture. While that baked, she mixed up asimple tomato bruchetta with plum toma-toes, garlic, olive oil, Italian herbs, saltand pepper. It couldn’t be any easier tomake, but tasted great on fresh bakedbread.Kate found time to put together a

creamy hummus—one of my favoritespreads—consisting of pureed chickpeas,garlic, lemon juice, tahini (sesame seedpaste), cumin and salt and pepper. Not

only is it delicious, it’s nutritious and Ilove to have it on hand for snacking.As we got close to the start time, the

pressure was building… there was somuch to do still! The cheeses had to belaid out; slices of fresh ovalini mozzarellaand crumbles of blue cheese, creamy thickBrie and cubes of white cheddar cheese.Tables had to be put up and covered, andeverything had to be deep cleaned sincewe would be setting up the food in thecake kitchen and it had to be spotless.Crusty bread was sliced and put in bas-

kets, wine was chilled and glasses were setout, ice tea was made and coffees wereprepped. Of course, pastries were made,but those are well within the normalrange of what we do anyway.So much preparation, so much work,

and then it was time. Unfortunately,

Berkeley was not feeling well (nor was I,for that matter), so I volunteered to takehim home so we could relax. Jill wouldhave to manage the event without me,which she could do with her eyes closed,if need be!After all the work and craziness, I did-

n’t get a chance to attend and introducemy friend Carlos Mercado to the atten-dees. Kate and Brittany volunteered toserve, as did my mother-in-law. But Carlostold me later that he had a great time andraised some money for the campaign.Once again, food served an important

role; it brought supporters together for agood time and good cause, provided theimpetus for a social gathering, and madeit possible for Vineland parents to meetone of the choices for school board. I

I Doe’s and Don’ts{ PAUL J. DOE, FORMER PUBLISHER OF THE CUMBERLAND NEWS }

CapeMay’s beach was rated asNo. 2 in the nation. Good news,right? Instead of celebrating, thepoliticians went right to work

figuring out how to make it Numero Uno.The bright idea they came up with?

Why, ban smoking, of course. Nobody isgoing to defend smoking. It’s pure evil.Plus, I’m sure some enterprising

researchers will come up with a milliondollar grant to study the dangerous effectof second-hand smoke on the beach.Spare me. I’m a smoker. Got the habit

many long years ago in the service when apack was 10 cents. I gave them up for 10years once upon a time when I was really,really into running.I started again when I moved to beauti-

ful southern New Jersey 24 years ago. Eventhough I continued to run I was celebrating

the end of a 10-, 15- or 20-mile training runwith a smoke.I quit again for a while when some

health problems (not related to smoking)forced me to stop running and I put onabout 20 extra pounds (although thatmight have been my wife’s home cooking).Since then, it’s been an on-and-off bat-

tle, with the demon weed usually winning.Lately, the economics of living on a fixed

income has greatly reduced my consump-tion. That, plus the fact that the grandkidshave been all over me about the nasty habit.Plus, plus the fact that my wife (and Iagree) won’t tolerate smoking in our home.This past winter was a real bummer for

us outdoor smokers. Now, the politicianswant to take the outdoors away from us too.Which would be fine—if it weren’t so stupid.We usually spend a week or two

(depending on how deep Uncle Sam gotinto my pockets on tax day) at Sea Isle eachsummer. I spend more time on the board-walk and the porch than on the beach, but Ican’t recall ever seeing a cigarette butt.I’m sure they are there but, honestly, are

they a blight on the surroundings? Now,there probably are some sensitive snifferswho are offended. But, hey, it’s the beach.Lighten up. (If I were a better writer I wouldhave figured out how to make that a pun).Seriously, if the politicians want to do

something to make the beaches better theyshould ban the use of cell phones. I’d muchrather have the person next to me smokingthe foulest cigar imaginable than hear themtell their cousin back in Bayonne all abouttheir recent bout withMontezuma’s revenge.Think about it. Every Sunday before

Mass they ask everyone, as a courtesy, toplease turn off their cell phones. I’ve neverheard them say, please don’t light up.Then, there’s the health issue. I’m old

enough to remember when the doctorcame in to tell you your test results with acigarette dangling out of his mouth.And, maybe, just maybe, cell phones are

the next things that will have a “Surgeon’sGeneral” warning. Check out cell phone

health research on the internet. Most of thestudies are being done in Europe but peopleare people (except smokers, apparently).For years, the tobacco people kept the

truth about the dangers of smoking fromthe public. Who are the big money makersthese days. Well, it’s not the tobacco peo-ple. Or the car people. Or the steel industry.It’s cell phones.Those annoying, intrusive little didn’t-

have-10 years-ago-but-now-can’t-do-with-out necessities. It wouldn’t surprise me onebit if the phone companies were fudgingthe research. They certainly like to covertheir behinds.For instance: Have you seen the Verizon

commercial where a guy dressed like aninja is leaping from rooftop to rooftophooking up these massive cables to harnesslightening for his cell phone. Look close atthe bottom right of screen at the very startof the commercial. You see the words: Donot attempt.I guess the lawyers told them that would

take them off the hook if somebody in aninja suit making a call on a rooftop in astorm gets turned into a crispy critter.Well, don’t try that. But, do try to have a

Happy Easter.I

Comet was the fashionable, fast andaffordable means of transportbetween New York City and AtlanticCity, and was often referred to as“The Seashore’s Finest Train.” Aunique but oft-overlooked part ofNew Jersey history, the Blue Cometstopped at what is now the HistoricTrain Station in Hammonton.In 2008 Professor Robert A.

Emmons, Jr., who currently teachesfilm and media studies at RutgersUniversity, began exploring the richhistory of the Blue Comet.

Jersey history and culture,” Emmonssaid, “It’s been my mission to seekout obscure history and culture andbring that to the public.”Professor Emmons will be avail-

able at this film showing for a ques-tion-and-answer session with theaudience.Tickets for this event are $9 gen-

eral admission, and can be pur-chased online atTheEagleTheatre.com. Proceeds fromthis event will benefit the HistoricalSociety of Hammonton.

Kids and Animals: 4-HProvides an OpportunityThe 4-H Youth Development Programoffers a special opportunity for kids to con-nect with the State’s agricultural heritagethrough the animal science program. Youthcan learn about all aspects of raising ani-mals—how to care for, feed, breed andselect animals for show, market or pleasure.Through the 4-H animal science program,children have the opportunity to learnabout horses, dairy and beef cattle, sheep,pigs, chickens and other farm animals towhich they otherwise might not haveaccess.

The goal of the animal science programis the same as that for all 4-H programs—toteach children important life skills throughhands-on learning. While learning abouttheir animal of choice, children in the ani-mal science clubs gain a sense of responsi-bility, learn how to keep accurate records,gain self-confidence, discover potentialcareers, learn to present themselves inpublic and at the same time have a lot offun. They may also participate in specialcountywide, state and national 4-H pro-grams.

In addition to animal science clubs,events such as the Hippology, Horse Bowl,Horse Judging and even model horseshows allow children who do not own ahorse to learn more about them. These 4-

H events are becoming more popular asfarmland continues to decrease in NewJersey. But, regardless of what kind of 4-Hclub a child belongs to, the theme is thesame—to make learning fun.

If you would like more information onthe 4-H animal science program or other4-H clubs, contact the Cumberland County4-H Office at 451-2800 ext #3.
