Just a couple weeks ago, teens all overCumberland County were elated.After a long nine-month school year,the last day of school had finally come.With their lockers cleaned out, and theirbook bags packed for the last time, studentseagerly counted down as the last secondsof the academic year expired, and theywere sent away for two months free ofclass and homework.But, for students grades six and up,there is a catch: the dreaded summerreading assignment, which, as any fresh-faced youth just embarking on their sum-mer vacation will tell you, becomes thebane of existence for those two months,casting a shadow over an otherwise sun-drenched summer. It is the only thingrequired of them in what is supposed tobe a requirement-free vacation.However, it need not be this way. Thereare those out there who want to help withthe summer reading assignments, andmake them as stress-free as possible forkids. One of those seraphs of literary salva-tion is Helen Margiotti, who heads up theChildrens and Young Adults Services sec-tion of the Vineland Public Library.This summer, the VPL will be offering aVOLUME 4 | ISSUE 21 | JULY 6, 2011CONNECT I NG YOU TO VI NEL AND.

DOE, FORMER PUBLISHER OF THE CUMBERLAND NEWS }Getting OldIs HellMy baby sister, who retired last year,visited last week and we got aroundto swapping retirement stories.She was a state (Michigan) worker herentire career and, even though Michigan isin pretty much the same kind of fiscal shapeas New Jersey, she seemed pretty happy withbeing 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, wasntfinding things to occupy her time. Rather,she said, it was trying to fit all the things shewanted to do into the time she has.But, she said, she finally understood whatMom was talking about when she used tosay, getting old is hell.Mom had the double whammy of lots ofvery real physical ailments plus Alzheimers(which turned to dementia).We traded a few favorite Mom stories andI asked, What about Dad? He seemed tohave it figured out.Dad retired at 60 and lived to 94. Prettyhappy the whole way. Hed worked in autoplants as a machine repairman his whole lifeand one of the first things he did after retire-ment was buy himself a whole newwardrobe: mostly suits and sport coats.He had spent his whole working life indust, dirt and grime, he said, and was goingto enjoy his golden years on his terms.My sister then told me the whole story onDads last big battle with the government.When my Dad was in his early 90s hewas 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 ofblack ice and slid into the car in front of his.Not much damage in either case but,because there were police on hand in bothinstances, Dad got a couple of careless driv-ing tickets. Not long after, Dad got a noticefrom the state (Michigan) that he wouldhave to surrender his driving license.That was something my brother and sis-ter, who lived nearby and saw him all thetime, had been advocating for some time.Dad didnt see it quite that way andchecked to see what, if any, options he had.The state told him that in order to havehis license reinstated he would have to com-plete a drivers ed course and reapply just asif he were a brand new driver.Dad did all of that and my sister took himto 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 shetried once again to talk him out of driving.Then a lady from Motor Vehicles cameout and called Dads name.He stood up, walked over and introducedhimself. (Dads signature move: hed stick outhis hand and say, Hello, my name is LeoDoe. Pleased to meet you.)Of course, he was dressed in a suit andtie. But the kicker for him was that he waspleased to meet just about everybody.Its the kind of thing you cant fake andpeople responded to it.The lady held out his new drivers licenseand, according to my sister, said somethingabout enjoying our roads as a new driver.Thank you very much, Dad said, Butyou keep it. Then he turned, my sister said,and walked right out.He kept his car until my next visit homeby then Id retired and would visit him for aweek or so a couple of times a year.Hed kept the car, he told me, so Id have away 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 widowladies who were happy to drive him whereverhe wanted to go.I had a nice visit and also enjoyed theluxury of a female chauffeur (and the seniorbus) during my stay.One night we were watching some sportsevent and I asked Dad if he missed havingthe freedom of driving.Not much, he said. The bus comeswhen it says it will and the ladies like it thatIm a little dependent.Then he spilled the beans.The reason he quit driving, he said, wasthat there was a young woman with a baby inthe 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 bedriving. But there are lots of other people outthere, too.My sister had never heard that part of thestory. But she wasnt surprised.Yup, she said, that sounds like Dad. IBut Leo Doe seemed to have it all figured out.Grapevine 1-7 070611:Layout 1 7/1/11 11:17 PM Page 2WWW.GRAPEVINENEWSPAPER.COM|thegrapevine{3}WWW.GRAPEVINENEWSPAPER.COM|thegrapevine{3}Faces in the News ISEND US YOUR FACES.

Locks of Love is anorganization that makes wigs for children with medical hair loss. Everyoneinvolved in the donation began growing their hair over a year ago in preparationfor 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 toLocks of Love. This time their goal was to beat the previous donation and givemore 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 wassupposed to be closed.Above, from left: Top Row (stylists): Andrea Misiewicz, salon owner Cindy Gentiletti,Jeanette Shaw, Bonnie Bernardi, Lisa Tramontana, Stephanie Brunini and Glenda Vega.Middle Row: Barbara Ortiz, Charlotte Pierce, Chasity Coward, Gabriella Horvath, SamanthaBarretta, Melanie Levari, Taylor Whitehead, Brittany Procopio and Alexandra Conigliaro.Bottom Row: Rita Barretta, Sarah Claudio, Coach Danielle Sauro, Samantha Claudio,Billie Mattioli, Olivia Claudio, Coach Alena Blizzard.Grapevine 1-7 070611:Layout 1 7/1/11 11:17 PM Page 3{4}thegrapevine|JULY6,2011As the regions leading independent radiology practice, we focus on keeping health care costs low while maintaining uncompromised quality.From our team of on-site, board-certified radiologists who are available for consultations, state-of-the-art modalities and caring staff, no one will focus on you like CDI.CenterForDiagnosticImaging.comUPPER DEERFIELD1119Hwy 77, Carlls CornerBldg 2, Suite C(Across from WalMart)856.453.1555VINELAND1450 E.

Those who read for the entire hourand a half will be treated to a pizza partyand a complimentary book.Other activities during the six weekswill include a short film making session, amovie day, and a book discussion, all in anattempt to get teens reading, and thinkingcreatively throughout the summer.(The program) gives them a headstart, said Margiotti. Its early on in thesummer so theyre not panicking at the endof August, thinking Oh my god, I cant getthis assignment done.Margiotti also helped design the Vinelandsummer reading lists, with the help of otherlibrary staff members, with kids in mind.When we formulated the lists for theschools, she said, We tried to put outbooks that were interesting to kids today.These arent just books that were publishedin the 1950s. Certain books are not going toappeal to certain kids. Its a wide range ofthings kids will like.Another option for Cumberland Countyteens fretting over their summer reading isan in-depth discussion of Oliver Twist, aclassic Dickens novel that can be found onalmost every summer reading list, beingheld at Bogarts Book Store in July.I had a mom who said her daughtersfrantic doing the summer reading, saidKatelyn Phillips, manager at Bogarts. Sowere doing a discussion group of OliverTwist. I was an English major, so I figured Icould assist in that way.The discussion group at Bogarts is a test-run, but if it goes well, they plan on doingmore of them throughout the year to helpkids with all of their reading assignments.Bogarts also does a monthly raffle of a $25gift card for kids and teens, which includes a75% discount on any used book purchased.All in all, it seems that there is plenty ofassistance out there for teens feeling over-whelmed by their reading assignments. Andthe common goal among everyone is to getteens reading throughout the summer, notjust for school, but in general.I feel like your vocabulary and yourability to put together sentences when writ-ing is vastly improved by reading, saidPhillips. The more that you read, the morethat you take in, the more help youre get-ting. Its always nice to see kids with big,bulky books like Twilight or Harry Potter. Itmay not be the most difficult read, contentwise, but theyre still learning from it.

Maybe it's the heat, orfamilies planning vacations and theyare unable to provide accommoda-tions for the pets. Whatever the rea-son, we are dealing with larger num-bers of stray, surrendered, and crueltycase animals than normal. With thedemand for care being so high, we arequickly running out of food for theanimals. We desperately need dry foodfor dogs, cats, and kittens.Any help provided would be greatlyappreciated.While the animals in our care aren'tpicky eaters, sometimes foods withred dye can make their bellies upset.If you can avoid foods with red dyesthat would be wonderful. Donations offood can be dropped off at the shelter(1244 N. Delsea Dr., Vineland).Donations of gift cards for Petsmart,Shoprite or Walmart would also bewonderful so that you don't have tolug bags of pet food from the store tothe shelter.

Volunteers included local resi-dents concerned about the trash issue at the beach and members of the SouthJersey Young Marines and Vineland High Schools SHAPE Club. In all, sixteen vol-unteers came outand cleaned upnearly one ton oftrash that had beenillegally dumped orlittered at the site.Alliance Beach is abeautiful recre-ational spot on theMaurice River thatanyone can picnicat or use to launchcanoes. However,the privilege to usethe beach has been abused by people who leave their garbage at the beach andalong the river. By cleaning up the beach, the volunteers are making the beach asafer, more enjoyable and scenic recreational spot. Additionally, by cleaning upthe 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 inthe surrounding Wildlife Management Area. The cleanup was sponsored by theAmeriCorps NJ Watershed Ambassadors Program and Pittsgrove Township.Pittsgrove Township graciously provided a dumpster at the site and took the trashto the landfill and picked up the tipping fees. A Salem County Clean Communitiesgrant 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 AUnique Event for Special Needs ChildrenFor the first time ever, Tumble Wheels, which is a mobile gym program, pro-vided its services to children with special needs.

Some of you mayremember the Boston Shoe Store,Forlans Shoes, and The Shoe Center,among the businesses of the past that soldfine footwear. Two such stores with along and distinguished history are stillwith us downtown and play active rolesin our downtowns redevelopmentMartini Shoes and Als Shoes.The older of the two stores, MartiniShoes, at 615 E. Landis Ave., got its start in1920 when Frank R. Martini, a cobblerfrom Italy, started to sell shoes out of hishome on East Avenue. He subsequentlymoved the business to a location in the oldBaker House hotel on Landis Avenue.When fire destroyed the hotel in 1940, hereestablished the business across thestreetthree doors down from its presentlocation. With sons George F. and Harry J.Martini coming into the business, it oper-ated out of that location until 50 years ago.In 1958, they moved into the building thatformerly housed the F.W. Woolworthstore, occupying half of the bottom floorwhere the store has been ever since.Now owned by Georges son Frank S.Martini and wife Lynn, the business is stillsatisfying customers after four generations.A family shoe store, Martini Shoes sells afull line of shoes, in addition to sneakers,work boots, and prom footwear, as well asorthopedic, medical, and diabetic footwear.Art is also part of Lynns talents and herartwork is also for sale in the store. Lynnhas been instrumental in spearheading theSecond Friday activities on Landis Avenue,including an artists reception at her store.Our business has been a personal cus-tomer relationship, Frank Jr. has said.Customers keep coming back, he contin-ued, because of the Martinis productknowledge and experience in the business.Much the same can be said about AlsShoes, at 639 E. Landis Ave.When you approach the store, you cansee the blend of the tradition andprogress of our downtowna sense of thehistory and the future of Landis Avenue.Your eyes take in the modern faade but,look down on the tiles in the windowarea, and you will see a piece of thestores historythe name Miles.When, in 1961, Al Lankin became asalesman in the shoe store at that loca-tion, the business was known as MilesShoesone of the retail divisions of theMelville Corporation, along with ThomMcAn Shoes. From 1963 through 1978,Lankin was manager of the storeuntilthe Miles Shoes division of the parentcompany was closed. Lankin then boughtthe building, opened Als Shoes inJanuary of the next year, and the storehas been going strong ever since.Als wife and son Brian came in towork at the store. Brian started workingthere weekends at age 12, helping outduring the sidewalk sales. He continuedworking there part-time through highschool and college and then full-time,after graduating college. Brian took overthe store when his father died in 2008.The businesss three specialties, accord-ing to Brian, are wedding shoes, orthope-dic shoes (including diabetic shoes), andwork shoes. He also carries dress shoesand also sneakers for work or play.Like Martinis, he prides himself oncustomer service. When youre an inde-pendent, people come to you for customerservice, which is the biggest thingsuchthings as answering the phone, putting theshoes on, and measuring their feet.Brian, like his father before him, is amember of the Main Street Vineland andhas been a strong supporter of the down-town redevelopment efforts.Stop in to Martini Shoes or Als Shoesthe next time you need new footwear.Dont forget about the VinelandSeafood Festival, coming up on Saturday,July 16 (rain date: July 17), from 4 to 9p.m., on the 600 block of Landis Avenue.Organized by Main Street Vineland andsponsored by Century Savings Bank, itwill be a real bash at the beach withgreat food, live music, a real beach, asandcastle-building contest, and more.

The slow-cooked beef beginsroasting during the morning hours, to ensuremaximum retention of natural moisture. TheMaplewood offers a 16-ounce regular cutfor $25.95 and a 21-ounce extra for $28.95.Another of Espositos personal favoritesis their rack of lamb. A full eight-chops, thetender meat is crusted with fresh herbs,pan-seared and finished in the oven. Itsplated with garlic mashed potatoes and amint-infused natural lamb jus.Among other most popular items areshrimp scampi, which Ken refers to as ournumber one seller, a filet tip and crab cakecombo, veal parm and at this time of year,soft shell crabs.IGabriels Horn { BY FRANK GABRIEL }All in the FamilyRestaurantAt Maplewood III, success is simmered over generationsMaplewood III favorites, clockwise from upper left: caramelized salmon, Eggplant meat-balls, four-cheese manicotti and filet tips with crabcake.Grapevine 14-19 070611:Layout 1 7/1/11 11:21 PM Page 14WWW.GRAPEVINENEWSPAPER.COM|thegrapevine{15}A FULL SERVICE BUTCHER SHOPWe Carry Groceries & Fresh ProduceStop In & Check OutThis Weeks SpecialsPrices Valid From July 6th - July 12thFamiliar FacesFriendly ServiceWelcome ToJOESButcher ShopGROUND FRESH, GROUND HERE DAILY!

They (soft shells) havebecome a signature dish for us, people calland ask whether they are available.For this corner, they are the purest, mostessential taste of the ocean imaginable.Making soft shells even better is theremoval of all nasty workcracking, pickingand the likesince every bit of the productis meant to be consumed.Enjoy them while you can folks, thesewarm-weather molting crustaceans areserved, in-season, from Mothers Day untillate August. This further demonstrates thelevel of commitment made by theMaplewood III. They could easily add thispopular itemwhich regularly sellsupwards of 50 per nightyear round.But that would mean having to settle forfrozen, imported soft shells of lesser quality.Which is not the way things are done here.Speaking about that family legacy ofexcellence, Ken comments that his grandfa-ther was also a true culinary innovator.He was the first person to make whiteseafood sauce over pasta popular.That classic item, which still graces menusin all three locations, is simply referred toas Joes pasta and includes shelled clams,shrimp, mussels, lump crab meat andscungille (large sea snails) simmered in asauce of garlic, olive oil and natural juices.Key personnel mentioned by Espositoinclude Executive Chef Stephen Capriotti, a15-year veteran, Assistant Dining RoomManager Barry Rossetto, plus siblingsMarcia and Michael McFarland.The McFarlands play a special role,arriving well before service during themorning hours. During those quietmoments, they begin sauces, make meat-balls, eggplant and dessertsincluding tiramisu, seasonal fruit pies, mousse andcheesecakealong with setting up the req-uisite mis-en-place of the kitchen.The newest addition to the Maplewoodlineup is a value-laden sampler list, referredto as the Just Enough menu. More thantwo dozen of the most popular selectionsare available, for eat-in only, in smaller por-tions at nicely reduced prices.Its a fine idea from an economic perspec-tive and also caters to current dining trendswith smaller plates and shared portions.From a place with such legendary roots,did you really expect anything less?
