remarks on the core agenda topics. Magazzu
spoke on infrastructure and sustainability –
specifically on how there needs to be more
regional collaboration between counties,
municipalities and other agencies.
“We need more cooperation and less com-

“Our constituents don’t care which jurisdic-
tion is getting the money or providing the
service, they just want to see results.”
Magazzu told White House representa-
tives and the other county leaders it’s time to
take advantage of regional models of econom-

and work together.”

Salem County Welcomes Nancy C.
Gerrity as New Public Health Officer
Freeholder Director Lee R. Ware and Freeholder Dale
A. Cross, chair of the Public Health Committee,
announced that Nancy C. Gerrity has been hired as
Salem County’s Public Health Officer. Gerrity
replaces Herbert Roeschke, who retired in 2010.
“In the interim, Virginia Preesada from Gloucester
County filled the position so there was no disruption
of services,” said Director Ware. “She did a great job
and we appreciate her helping us out during the
search and time of transition. We are excited about
this new chapter for our Health Department.”
Gerrity previously served as the Public Health
Nursing Director of the Camden County Health Department. There she was
responsible for overseeing public health nursing programs, which included spe-
cialty clinics, special child health services, adult health services, and the non-pub-
lic school health program. Gerrity also has extensive experience in emergency
preparedness for bioterrorism and other public health threats and emergencies.
“Ms. Gerrity is a highly qualified individual with a Master of Science degree in
nursing from the University of Pennsylvania,” said Freeholder Cross. “The Public
Health Officer is a very important position for the people of Salem County and
her experience will be a tremendous asset in helping to ensure the health and
safety of our residents.”
The duties of the Salem County Public Health Officer include communicable
disease prevention and control, sanitation measures and inspections, child health
and immunizations, and inspection of food and drug establishments.

Local Hardware Store Manager Donates

Commemorative 9/11 Flags to City of Vineland
Tom Flebbe, store manager at the Vineland branch of Ace Hardware, recently
donated two commemorative flags to the City of Vineland. The two flags are a
memorial in remembrance of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World
Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and the crash-
landing of a hijacked plane near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Both flags are replicas of the American flag with just a slight change. The
names of all of the victims of the attacks are located within the red and white
stripes of one flag. On the other, the names of emergency personnel and first
responders who perished in the line of duty on that day can be found within the
stripes.
When asked why he decided to donate the flags, which had been purchased
by the hardware store, Flebbe commented that he felt it was the right thing to
do, especially with Vineland City Hall already equipped with commemorative
beams taken from the Twin Towers, and located in the front lobby.
Another reason for the contribution was the fact that one of Vineland’s own
was affected closely by the attacks. Bob Adams, who works in the Code
Enforcement Division in City Hall, lost his son, Donald, who was working in one
of the Twin Towers, on the day of the terrorism attacks. Since then, Adams has
worked very closely with the Mayor’s office in trying to get memorials to those
directly affected by attacks installed at or around City Hall.
The flags are expected to hang in the front lobby, complementing the Twin
Tower beams and creating a unique way of remembering the attacks.
Another note: The flags Flebbe donated are not one-of-a-kind. Ace Hardware
bought quite a few of the flags, and they are for sale in the store now.

Manager Tom Flebbe pose with one of the flags donated to Vineland by Flebbe.

Berardelli Named New Principal at Delsea
Paul Berardelli has been named as the new principal
of Delsea Regional High School starting this fall. He
started his career at Delsea in 1992 as a substitute
teacher in the high school and then decided that he
loved working with students at Delsea. He took the
required coursework for a special education teaching
certificate from Rowan University and taught special
education for five years. He then received a master’s
degree in educational leadership from Wilmington
College in Delaware and became the high school’s vice
principal in 1998. In that position, he was responsible
for discipline and other student-related activities including designing the school’s
security and crisis drill plan. According to HS English teacher, Jessica Ippolito, “Paul
has been a highly-organized and efficient vice principal, so no doubt he will bring
those same positive qualities to his new role as principal.”
Originally, from Scranton, PA, Paul graduated from Villanova University in 1989
and spent several seasons playing professional football in Green Bay, Minnesota and
Philadelphia before moving to New Jersey. His original job in New Jersey in sales
was not his dream job and when he discovered the hidden treasure in students and
staff at Delsea, he knew that he had found his calling.
Berardelli stated, “I’m fortunate to have worked for respected administrators,
Mr. Borelli, Ms. Vanaman, Mr. Sottosanti and Mrs. Gravenor who have been great
role models and I’m looking forward to working with the phenomenal teaching staff.”

ships competing in Division I,

schools. Janiece Rose (shot put)
will be attending Ohio University, a Division I school; Felicia O’Donnell, cross
country and track and field, will be attending Rutgers University, also Division I;
Brianna Hunt, track and field and high jump, will be attending St. Joseph’s
University, another Division I school. Meanwhile, Brianna Crofton, track and field,
will be at Georgian Court University, a Division II school, and Brenda Mendez and
Ashlee Hitchner will both be attending Rowan University, a Division III institution.

S
hortly after Vineland turned 50 in
1911, the town was visited for sev-
eral days by New Jersey Governor
Woodrow Wilson just a mere two
years before he would become President
of the United States. Wilson’s sojourn to
Vineland was part of a statewide inspec-
tion of public institutions that included
three facilities in the borough. But
Wilson’s agenda was strictly business, a
fact he made painfully clear during one of
his stops in town.
On Wednesday, August 25, the Evening
Journal reported that Wilson was expect-
ed to arrive with his wife and daughter by
automobile the next day at noon. He and
his entourage, which would include New
Jersey philanthropist Caroline Alexander
of Hoboken, were to be received by the
head of the State Home for Women, Dr.
Madeline Hallowell. Arrangements had
been made for Laila, an operetta that had
already been presented in Vineland, to
have a repeat performance on Thursday
evening for the benefit of Wilson.
While Alexander was detained, the
Wilsons’ arrival was on schedule. The gov-
ernor spent Thursday afternoon inspecting
the Women’s Home, including the grounds,
and declaring that he was greatly pleased
with the institution. That evening, nearly
2,000 people joined the governor for the
performance of Laila, staged on the lawn of
the Women’ Home. Wilson appeared on
Baker for what the Evening Journal called
an “inviting” meal at one o’clock.
Following lunch, the residents of the

would say a few words. In a moment that
remains inexcusable to this day, Wilson

said he had nothing to say to the men. The
Evening Journal reported the next day that
the veterans were “terribly disappointed.”

memorial project completed.
"This is a bittersweet afternoon," Casadia
said. "Bittersweet because it took us 10 years
to recognize the efforts of Mr. DiTomo. It
would be truly special if he were here today."
At first, Casadia said his relationship with
Mr. DiTomo was tense. "We really battled,
but as time went on, we became close
friends," he said. "I know he's smiling down
on us today."
Mr. DiTomo's sister, Mrs. Carmela
Sparagna, speaking on behalf of the family,
agreed. "I know he would be very, very
proud if he was here today," she said. "This
is beyond overwhelming."
Sparagna, Mr. DiTomo's only surviving
sibling, also said it was important that the
community "deemed him important enough
to give him this memorial and bring it to
fruition." Mr. DiTomo and his wife had no
children but during his career he touched
the lives of thousands of student athletes. A
sizable contingent of his family joined
Sparagna at the ceremony, including Francis,
her husband; niece Jacqueline Cheli, a dis-
trict assistant principal; niece Bernadett
Cervino, a teacher at Veterans Memorial
School and her husband Tom; nephew David

NEI’s and Merrill Lynch’s proposal is
subject to higher and better cash offers
with a minimum of $23 million. As such,
Brownstein Corporation, NJMP’s court-
approved Financial Advisor, will be sending
out solicitations via e-mail and mail to
determine whether there might be poten-
tially interested parties with better terms
than the “Stalking Horse bid” that NEI and
Merrill Lynch are offering. There are spe-
cific bidding procedures to which any
other potentially interested parties must
adhere, available from NJMP or
Brownstein Corporation.
The Plan will not affect the longstand-

established with its members, patrons and
sponsors, nor will there be any material
changes in the company’s operations,
including its scheduled events, the Drivers
Club, Shade Tree Garages, Breighton Villas,

aspects of its operations.
NJMP is looking forward to successfully
completing its restructuring in the coming
weeks, and resuming its growth plans for
serving the east coast motorsports commu-
nity.

The Ellison School

Goes Solar
The Ellison School is looking for-
ward to a very sunny summer as it
begins work on a 100 kilowatt solar
system—soon to produce nearly all of
the energy needed to operate the
school year round. The project, spear-
headed by Ellison’s Board of Trustees,
is being designed and installed by
Palmieri Solar Solutions in conjunc-
tion with Palmieri Electric, founded by Raymond Palmieri.
“The use of solar energy has many advantages,” says Steve LaPorta, first vice
president of Ellison’s Board of Trustees and chair of its Building and Grounds
Committee. “Solar energy is environmentally friendly and reliable and will reduce
Ellison’s electric bill by nearly 90 percent.”
The system, which will utilize 429 solar modules, is expected to generate
115,613 kilowatt hours of power each year. The solar modules will be located on F OR THE B EST IN
three Ellison roofs—the gymnasium, front portion of the Learning Center and the
back portion of the Computer Laboratory and Library. The system is expected to

Invited
Landis Marketplace draws people back to the Avenue.
T
he Landis
Marketplace
has been open
nearly a
month now and the
response has been posi-
tively fantastic! We are
fortunate that this com-
munity has embraced
the change in downtown
and allowed for this
Market to come to
fruition. The old bones
of the once famed JJ
Newberry store are fully alive again with a
fresh new flavor.
The aisles have been packed with a
melting pot of the greater Cumberland
County area. In fact, customers are com-
ing in from Atlantic City, Ocean City, Cape
May, Delaware, Philadelphia and we even
had a woman make a special trip from
northern New Jersey to see what the fuss
was all about.
While at the Market, many customers
are checking out other stores on the
Avenue. I have talked with several busi-
ness owners on Landis Avenue who said
their customer traffic and sales have been
up since the Market opened. You can see
people strolling along Landis Avenue
enjoying their trip to Vineland and speak-
ing of their return for more goodies.
Behind the scenes at the Market every-
one is working hard and the long hours
are paying off. Overall, the businesses
have been very impressed with Vineland.
Amish businesses and their families are
being reassured that their investment
here is worth the effort and are making
themselves at home. Other businesses
that have recently opened, including
Luciano’s Fresh Market, Tupperware and
Triple Oaks Nursery and Florist are also
settling into the new Market rather nice-
ly. Every day is an adventure here as we
continue to work out kinks and open new
businesses.
We are opening two more businesses,
Las Lomas Grille and Martha’s Spices in a
couple of weeks. Since we opened, we
have been steadily meeting with business-
es interested in opening at the Market and
look forward to expanding our diversity of
products in the coming months.
The Landis Marketplace is having an
official Grand Opening this weekend June
2-4th. The event kicks off with a ribbon
cutting at 9 a.m. Thursday, June 2 outside
the doors on Landis Avenue. It is a very
special moment that pays tribute to the
countless hours and years spent by dozens
of people in our community that believed
in creating a Market that could draw peo-
ple back downtown. The vision is now a
reality! The ribbon cutting will be fol-
lowed by three days of live music, cooking
demonstrations, tastings, giveaways and a
whole lot of delicious food from our mer-
chants.
The Market will continue to have
ongoing events such as music on Fridays
from 5 to 7 p.m. each week and cooking
demonstrations that feature Market mer-
chants and local area chefs and restau-
rants. We are also looking forward to col-
laborating with other community initia-
tives such as the Appel Farm Mural
Project. The Market will be hanging a
portion of the 5’ x 5’ panels in the Market
starting June 2 to help promote the mural
designed by artist Cesar Viveros-Herrera
that celebrates Vineland’s history.
We here at the Market sincerely appre-
ciate all the support from the community
and volunteers that have helped make our
first month in business a smiling success.
Take time from your day and stop in to
celebrate the Landis Marketplace during
our Grand Opening June 2-4. You can

at Winfield's Restaurant in Millville, on
Wednesday, June 22, at 6:30 p.m.
Pat Sutton, a working naturalist and
backyard habitat champion for over 30
years, will cover the basic "how to's" for
creating a butterfly and hummingbird-
friendly garden and yard. It is often as
simple as planting sweet pepperbush
instead of crape myrtle, or Joe-Pye-weed,
purple coneflower, New England aster, and
goldenrod rather than marigolds. Double
the size of your parsley patch and be
amazed by all the black swallowtails it
attracts.
Meet all the needs of hummingbirds
and be dazzled by them in your gardens
from late April through early October.
The obvious, like good nectar sources and
their blooming periods, will be covered.
And the not-so-obvious, like caterpillar
food plants that butterflies and moths
need for egg laying, mud puddling, and
the importance of proper cover from wind
and weather will also be included.
The mystery of a butterfly's life cycle
and where butterflies winter will be
explained. Where hummingbirds go in
winter, why they leave us when our gar-
dens are still in bloom, when they return
(i.e. when to have your yard ready for
them), hummingbird feeder maintenance,
and lots of other natural history fun facts
will be shared. The program features
wildlife areas in southern New Jersey that
have successfully transformed typical
backyards into dazzling gardens ablaze
and alive with butterflies and humming-
birds.

 I Fun With Food
King of Backyard
Barbeques
Making your barbeque stand out can be a challenge.
Here are some tips to help you become king of the
backyard barbeque.
W
ith summer just over the
horizon, kids across the
country are getting ready
to take a vacation from
school while moms and dads are welcom-
ing summer office hours. With long, hot
days by the pool right around the corner,
the nation's grill masters know it’s time to
revel in one of the most beloved summer
traditions—the backyard barbeque.
Backyard barbeques have been a staple
of summer for as long as most people can
remember. As the sun prepares to rise on
summer, it’s never too early to throw the
best backyard barbeque of the season.
Saving the best for last has always been
overrated, anyway.
Grilling enthusiasts can make the most
of their inaugural backyard bash by
employing some of the following tips:
• Make it an event instead of anoth-
er barbeque. Thanks to the laid-back
nature of summer, many backyard barbe-
ques come together at the last minute or a
day or so in advance. For a start-of-sum-
mer bash, hosts should break from the
norm and print up formal invitations to let
guests know this won't be the standard
backyard barbeque. Invitations can be cre-
ated in a matter of minutes and received

in as few as two days. With an invitation
in hand, guests will be more enthusiastic
and this enthusiasm can go a long way in
making the first backyard barbeque of the
year the best of the entire season.
• Choose a theme. After a season
spent indoors, locked away from the cold,
many guests might be overwhelmed with
invites to backyard barbeques. Hosts can
set their soiree apart from the rest by giv-
ing the party a theme. For instance, refer
to the party as the "Summer Kick-off
Hawaiian Luau" and invite friends and
relatives over for a tropical paradise-
themed party, complete with leis,
Hawaiian shirts and tiki torches.
Hosts can even go the extra mile and
make their own custom T-shirts com-
memorating the event. That way, guests
will always be able to remember how they
kicked off their summer in 2011.
• Don't abandon tradition entirely.
While it can be tempting and fun to exper-
iment at a backyard barbeque, hosts
should also embrace some favorite tradi-
tions. Guests will no doubt expect the
standard fare, including salads, hot dogs
and hamburgers. So even if there's going
to be some experimenting going on, be
sure to have the old standbys on the menu
as well.
It's also important for hosts to peruse
the guest list ahead of time. Doing so
ensures there will be enough food for
everyone and that the menu features
food for those with unique diets, be it
vegetarians or those with medical
restrictions. Ask any guests when send-
ing out invitations if they have any such
dietary restrictions.
• Decorate the grounds. At the start
of summer, it probably won’t take much to
get guests excited about a backyard bar-
beque. But if you’re offering nothing more
than just a backyard and a hot grill, your
guests are likely to lose the memory in the
vast array of common backyard barbeque
moments they’re sure to experience this
summer. Hosts hoping to make the night
as memorable as it is fun should consider

 Ball Girl
Continued from cover
balls and take batting practice at the stadi-
um, pass a test on baseball rules and terms,
show her knowledge of the Phillies, and
hold her own in an on-camera interview
with local sports broadcasters. The group
was winnowed to 20 who were called back
for second interviews, and Brenner was
one of just nine who finally made it.
“I always wanted to do it after college;
it combines my lifelong love of the Phillies
and softball with my love of doing some-
thing new,” said the Veterans Memorial
Intermediate
School math
teacher.
Brenner was
a star second
baseman at
Vineland High
and played center
field at Rowan
University—that
Division III col-
lege team went to
the NCAA region-
al tournament
three years of her
four and was
always a contender
in the New Jersey
Athletic
Conference.
Her Phillies
training last year
involved being on
the field with an
experienced ballgirl
for progressively
more innings over a four-game stretch.
Then, she was on her own.
“I was very nervous, but I just thought
to myself I’ve played this game all my life,
I know what to do, I’ll be okay,” she related.
St. Louis Cardinals superstar Albert Pujols
hit the first ball she fielded, and with that
one behind her she had all the confidence
she needed.
This year, Brenner was a trainer.
The job is often thrilling.
“Going out onto the grass, the stadium
Heating & Cooling
is so big, there are so many people, the
Your Home
energy amongst the fans is outrageous,”
SINCE 1982 she said. “You can understand how the
{ 26 } the grapevine | JUNE 1, 2011
players say the crowd is so important, how
they feed off the fans.”
FUEL OIL & Balls corralled by ballgirls are given to
KEROSENE young children sitting in the stands nearby.
The tradition provides Brenner with both
CALL FOR PRICES the favorite and hardest parts of her work.
“The expressions on the kids’ faces are
priceless, especially if it’s their birthday,”
PO Box 645 West Blvd. Newfield, NJ 08344 she said. “But at the same time, the deci-
sion on who to give the ball to is tough,
(856) 697-4777 and you have to do it quickly because play
resumes.”
Brenner has a streak going: She has
never let a ball get by her and bounce onto
the playing field.
Each of the 17 ballgirls works for about
half of the Phillies home games and is on
the field for about three games a month.
While two squad members are catching
balls, the other six run the “Red Goes
Green” rotating team of volunteers from
schools and community groups who, in
exchange for tickets and food vouchers,
collect recyclables
around the park
between innings.
“It’s fun, working
with the other girls,
plus you can see the
game from the con-
course, I enjoy it,”
Brenner said.
The ballgirls’
softball team
played a lot of
charity games last
year against organ-
izations such as a
volunteer fire
department, and a
Little League
team. The girls
also have a per-
sonal appearance
schedule where
they work with
children, partici-
pate in fundrais-
ing walks, attend
Opening Days, and perform other
activities.
Brenner appears at about a half dozen
events a month and loves it. “You’d never
get to do these things, being a ballgirl puts
you into these positions.”
Ballgirls only work for the team for two
years, a practice Brenner thinks is aimed at
getting fresh faces into the program.
Brenner’s dad, Eugene, works at Dallas
Automotive in Millville and her mom,
Donna, works for New Jersey
Manufacturers Insurance Company in
Hammonton. They have partial season
tickets and regularly see their daughter
work.
Her brother, Jeffrey, is a student at
Rutgers University in New Brunswick.
They all have Kristina Brenner trading
cards, as do legions of fans she has passed
them out to in a promotion run by the fan-
friendly Phillies. The cards aren’t valuable
(in a monetary sense), but the experience
and lessons of this unique job surely are. I
