Scott English is elected President of ninemember Vineland Board of Education.

From left, Kim Codispoti, Diamaris Rios, Scott English, Dr. Mary
Gruccio, Superintendent of Schools, and Joe Pagano.

cott English was elected Vineland Board of


Education President and Diamaris Rios Vice
President on Wednesday at the annual re-organization meeting of the school board.
With new leadership, two new members and six candidates vying to be the third, change is the byword for
the Vineland Board of Education and administration,
preparing to meet the challenges of a new year.
It is definitely not a sprint, its a marathon, said
English. The next few months we have a rollercoaster
ahead of us. There is a lot heading our way. But we have
excellent board members who have specialized in so
many different areas.... I think this district is going to see
some changes in the right direction."
Helping English oversee this time of new direction is
Diamaris Rios, elected vice president at Wednesday's
meeting to start her third, three-year term on the school
board. Also taking their seats were the two new board
members elected in their first bid for office in
NovemberKim Codispoti and Joseph Pagano.
Administering the oath was Robert DeSanto, Solicitor.
The other returning board members are Brian DeWinne,
Frank DiGiorgio, Chris Jennings, and Susanne Morello.
The ninth seat is currently vacant, the result of the
recent resignation of Richard Baruffi. At the January 14
meeting, the board will hear presentations from the candidates asking to serve as an appointed board member until
the post can be filled for the remaining one year of Baruffi's
term in the November election. The group includes Inez
Acosta, Peter D'Arrigo, Dexter L. Gordon, Rudolph Harris,
David Jamil, Kenneth D. Loadholt, and Anthony Rizzo.
After the presentations, the board will retire to executive
session and then return to announce their choice.
The other two members of the past year's group are
Tom Ulrich, who did not seek re-election, and Eugene
Medio, who was unsuccessful in his bid for a new term.

Revisting accomplishments of the year


past and looking forward to more ahead.

appy New Year. Before we get


to what will undoubtedly be a
very busy and exciting year for
us, let us take a few minutes
and revisit our accomplishments in 2014.
Our affiliate wasted no time getting
down to work last year as we hosted two
visiting college groups who came to our
area to volunteer with us. Saint Anselm
College arrived on the 4th of January to
begin their week of service and Colgate
University arrived on the 12th. Back-toback weeks of ambitious college students
who showed up eager to work was the
perfect start to our year.
On January 11, after months of work to
renovate the former Ace Plumbing parts
warehouse at 601 S. Delsea Drive, we held
our Grand Opening of our ReStore.
Habitat for Humanity ReStores are nonprofit home improvement stores and
donation centers that sell new and gently
used furniture, home accessories, building
materials, and appliances to the public at a
fraction of the retail price. Proceeds from
the store go toward helping us further our
mission of providing safe, decent and
affordable housing to deserving families in
Cumberland County. The store has been a
huge success. If you havent visited it yet,
please put it on your to-do list in 2015.
In February, we began the search for
our next partner family. Within months,
the Family Selection Committee selected
two families that they felt would be
deserving and able partner families. Both
the Duprey and Acosta families were
introduced at our annual gala.
March means Spring Break. Spring
Break means college students. During the
five weeks of Spring Break, our affiliate
hosted four college groups. Cardinal
Stritch University, Providence College,
Wilson College and the University of
Delaware all selected Cumberland County
as their destination of choice. These students provided hundreds of hours to help
us wrap up our home construction project
at 525 E. Plum Street.
In May, our affiliate celebrated our 25th
Anniversary with a gala held at Eastlyn Golf
Course. It was the best attended gala in
recent memory. Even some of our Spring
Break college students traveled back to our
area to witness Tom Baxter receive his
Lifetime Achievement Award. Tom serves

as the Project Manager when college groups


work on our sites. They tend to love Tom.
Summer marked the end of our home
construction project on Plum Street. On
July 10, Zoraida Vargas became a homeowner. More than 60 people were on hand
at the Home Dedication & Blessing. What
a great day!
August was no time to rest. On the
22nd, we hosted our annual golf tournament. This event, our largest event
fundraiser, was a success thanks to the
many volunteers who helped support it.
(We are actually forming a committee for
this years tournament now. If interested,
please reach out.) In August we applied
for our construction permits for our project at 3321 N. Delsea Drive in Vineland.
No rest for the weary.
Alyssa Velazquez, a local resident and
four-year Habitat for Humanity participant
during her time at Washington College,
was hired as our affiliates Administrative
Assistant. Alyssa hit the ground running
and has already left an impact on our
organization and the people we serve.
When fall arrived, our focus was on our
new construction project at 3321 N. Delsea
Drive. After weeks of lot clearing and site
work, actual construction began in
October. Volunteers at the site have been
strong. We average over 25 volunteers
each Saturday. If you have ever thought of
participating in a construction project,
please give the office a call. No experience
is required. You will meet some of the
nicest people that you have ever known.
As the year came to an end, we saw
some changes on our Board of Directors.
Long-time members Walter Wood and
Linda Hinckley saw their service end.
Replacing them on the Board are Debbie
Holman from Century Savings Bank,
Demetrica Todd of Gateway Community
Action Partnership and Tony Heath of
UPS. We expect great things from them all.
Yes, 2014 was a busy year for us. Some
might suggest it was the busiest ever. They
might be right. But just wait until you see
what we have planned for this year. I

minor or non-life threatening conditions
when their doctor is not available or their
condition does not require the life-saving
services of a hospital emergency room.
Inspira Urgent Care Mantua, located in
the Timberline shopping center, features a
warm and welcoming reception area, 16
patient rooms, and imaging services on
site. Additionally, every patient at Inspiras
urgent care centers is treated by a physician.
At the opening event, Gloucester

County Freeholder Heather Simmons


remarked, Inspira Urgent Care is bringing
high quality health care to our community
in a way that is efficient and quick. It is
available any day of the week at practically
any time we need it. These are the types of
services that our families need and they
are now here in the way we want.
Inspiras expansion of Urgent Care
services will continue in 2015, including a
new location in Cumberland County. The
health network is currently developing a
new Urgent Care center on Landis Avenue
in Vineland which will also include an
office for its Occupational Health and
Wellness services. Inspira will also relocate its Urgent Care center and Family
Medicine office in Glassboro to a new
larger space on Rowan Boulevard.
All of Inspiras Urgent Care centers are

Leonard Jones, from Millville, was


already thankful for the Greater
Bridgeton Area Transit (GBAT) bus service. Without the bus, getting to work
every day at Seabrook Brothers would be
extremely difficult. The bus takes him
right to the front door.
Little did he know that GBAT would
also enhance his television viewing pleasure when watching sports, particularly
football. Jones had the winning raffle ticket for a new, 60-inch, flat-screen, HDTV
through the Greater Bridgeton Area
Transit second anniversary raffle.
GBAT, a Gateway Community Action
Partnership program funded by the
Pascale Sykes Foundation, plays an important role in helping people get to work and
job interviews, make health care appointments and shop locally.
I was shocked when I found out I won
the TV, Jones, 41, said. Ill probably

mount it on the wall in my living room. I


watch football big-time, but I like all
sports.
Interestingly, this is the second TV won
by Jones in the last year. He won one
through the midget football league in
Millville. While that was nice, this TV is
considerably larger.
Every work day, Jones takes a bus from
Millville to a GBAT stop on Pearl Street in
Bridgeton. From there, GBAT delivers him
to Seabrook for employment.
Its helped me greatly, Jones said.
Without it, I would have had to walk to
work once I got to Bridgeton. I like the bus.
It helps a lot of people. There are always a
lot of people on it. We have some good con-

Rossi Students Boost Toys for Tots Campaign


Students at Rossi School collected more than 200 toys and raised
an additional $500 in cash donations for the annual "Toys for Tots"
campaign, according to Ryan Suppi,
the teacher who coordinated the
effort. This is the sixth year students have participated in the campaign, supervised by Suppi.
According to information on its
website, Toys for Tots was founded
in 1947 by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. The program's objectives are to help
less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of
Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation's most
valuable resourcesour children; to unite all members of local communities in a
common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and
distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future. The
Vineland USMCR unit is Semper Marine Detachment #205.
In communities without a Reserve Unit, the campaign can be conducted by a
Marine Corps League Detachment or group of men and women, generally veteran
Marines, authorized by Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to conduct a local Toys for
Tots campaign. Local Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators conduct an array of
activities throughout the year, which include golf tournaments, foot races, bicycle
races and other voluntary events designed to increase interest in Toys for Tots, and
concurrently generate toys and monetary donations.

Officers for the Vineland


High School Interact Club
and the Cumberland County
College Rotaract Club were
inducted during the
December 30, 2014 luncheon meeting of the Vineland
Rotary Club at the Ramada
of Vineland.
Interact Clubs are Rotarysponsored service clubs for
young people ages 12-18,
which give young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service
projects while developing leadership skills and the opportunity to meet new
friends. As one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary
service, with more than 13,000 clubs in 138 countries and geographical areas,
Interact has become a worldwide phenomenon. Almost 300,000 young people are
involved in Interact. Vineland is part of Rotary District 7640, which has one of the
largest Interact Club membership rolls in the world.
Similarly, Rotaract brings together young people ages 18-30 in colleges, universities and communities worldwide to organize service activities, develop their leadership and professional skills, and have fun. Rotary clubs sponsor them, but Rotaract
club members manage and fund their clubs independently.
The Vineland Rotary Club sponsors the CCC Rotaract Club and five Interact
Clubs: at Vineland High School, the YMCA (Tri County Community Interact), Rossi
School, the Ellison School and St. Augustine Prep. Together with the Bridgeton
Breakfast Rotary Club, the Vineland Club also co-sponsors the Schalick High
School Interact Club.
For more information, contact Melanie Druziako (Vineland Rotary Club Youth
Service Director and District 7640 Interact Chair) at 609-774-3671 or

Garlic powder, to taste
Sea salt, to taste

Place potatoes in a pot of cold salted
water (enough to completely cover potatoes)
and bring to a boil. Cook potatoes until they
are fork-tender. On a baking pan, generously
drizzle olive oil, then place cooked and
drained potatoes on cookie sheet, leaving
plenty of room between each potato. With a
potato masher, gently press down each potato until slightly mashed, rotate masher 90
degrees and mash potatoes again. Drizzle
tops of each crushed potato with more olive
oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, sea
salt, fresh ground black and parsley. Place
potatoes under broiler until crispy on top.

Doc Brewers
Vineland Years

PET
CARE

Dr. Brewer found many opportunities for the exercise


of his intellect, and his benevolent disposition.

{ 18 } the grapevine | JANUARY 14, 2015

harles Brewer may not have


been the first physician to settle
here after serving in the army,
but he brought with him one of
the most fascinating military careers a
Vineland resident could have.
After receiving his undergraduate
degree in the Arts from St. Johns College
in 1852 and his medical degree from the
University of Maryland in 1855, Brewer
served in the U.S. Army for five years, during which he was involved in the rescue of
16 children in Utah, survivors of the
Mountain Meadows massacre. But following his January 1861 marriage to Maria
Pendleton Cooke, the second daughter of
General Philip St. George Cooke, he
resigned his commission during a visit to
his wifes relatives in Virginia and then, in
what might be perceived as an act of
betrayal, immediately joined the Medical
Corp of the Confederate Army.
Brewers family had been one of the
most prominent in Maryland since colonial
days, according to an entry sourced from
the Cumberland County Biographical Review
and contained in the 1903 Vineland
Historical and Antiquarian Society
(VHAS) publication The Early Physicians
of Vineland, N.J. Brewers father had been a
lawyer, a member of the legislature and a
Circuit Court judge as well as man of high
culture and fine taste, and a progressive and
public-spirited citizen. He was an outspoken supporter of the war for the Union.
Entering the Confederate forces,
Brewer must have met with considerable
criticism from his family and friends, but
his decision ultimately seems to have been
a means of serving the Union while wearing a gray uniform. He immediately
became an inspector of prison camps
where captured Federal soldiers faced
food shortage and poor conditions.
Brewers inspections resulted in recommendations that the men be returned to
the Federal government, which is exactly
what happened. At the conclusion of the
war, according to the VHAS pamphlet, he
was charged with the duty of transferring
to the Federal authorities, the eight thousand sick and wounded left in the hospitals at Richmond.
Brewer returned to his native Maryland

and continued his medical practice but,


after five years, the workload had taken its
toll on the 38-year-old physician, and he
sought a change in location and occupation.
His decision was to move himself and his
family to Vineland and to become a farmer.
The Brewers arrived in Vineland in
1870 and the farm work began immediately. After a few years, however, the good
doctor returned to his medical practice,
rejuvenated and eager to treat his fellow
townsfolk. According to The Early
Physicians of Vineland, Dr. Brewer found,
besides the work of his profession, many
opportunities for the exercise of his intellectual powers, and his benevolent disposition, in the kind of work for which he was
especially fitted. He was called early and
often, in one way or another, to duties and
positions of responsibility in Vineland, and
in Cumberland County, and sometimes to
such as reach a much wider range.
He became a lay reader of Trinity P. E.
Church, a Sunday school superintendent,
president of both the Cumberland County
Sunday-School Association and the Young
Men's Christian Association of Vineland, a
member of the County Bible Society and a
member of the State Charities Association.
In addition, his VHAS biography entry
reports that he was, for some years, an
active member of the Board of Health of
Vineland. In 1882, he was elected coroner
of Cumberland County. In 1887 he was
appointed postmaster of Vineland, holding
the office during the last half of the first
Cleveland administration, much to the
satisfaction of the community.
Brewers work during the Civil War
never seems to have left him in his civilian
life since he was twice appointed by the
Governor of the State as its official representative to the National Prison Congress,
which was held in Baltimore and Chicago
and he became a member of the National
Prison Association. The VHAS pamphlet
declares that he was interested in all that
pertains to criminology and prison reformation. These various associations and
appointments clearly indicate the benevolence of his disposition and his devotion
to whatever promises good to his fellow
beings, and especially to the erring and
the suffering. I

Tales therapy dog at the library. { BY ADRIENNE POSSENTI }

This photo of Cookie and Eloise Sulzman was taken in 2003 as part of the introduction
of Puppy Tales at the Vineland Public Library. A new display, "One Sweet Cookie," was
set up at the library last week.

hat Cookie did was make


all of us smile, said Eloise
Sulzman, owner of the
Cocker Spaniel therapy
dog who warmed everyones heart with
her gentle love.
An unofficial birth date of March 4,
1999, was calculated when Cookie was rescued by Bud and Eloise Sulzman in
December, 1999, at about age eight months.
The first order of business for Cookie was
an appointment with the veterinarian.
Among other things, Cookie needed to be
treated for a nasty case of the mange. The
Sulzmans already had two Brittany
Spaniels at their home on Myrtle Street
and Bud had begun a rescue for Brittanys.
The couple agreed to answer the call to go
to Heislerville to rescue Cookie on the

condition that theirs was a foster home


until a permanent one was found.
Before long, Cookie made known she
had a different plan for her future. Happy
and eager to call the cozy house of Bud
and Eloise home, Cookie simply fixed her
loving gaze into the eyes of her new
human parents, and it was no contest that
Cookie was in her fur-ever home.
Cookie flourished under the nurturing
care of her family. It wasnt until about
age four that Cookies exceptional personality and abilities were completely
revealed. In 2003 a new program called
Puppy Tales was introduced at the
Vineland Public Library. To encourage
children to read, a Puppy Tales dog had
to be, above all else, a good listener.
Cookie proved to be one of the best.

Hom e!

Under the guiding hands of Eloise,


Cookie was registered, tested, insured and
passed the American Kennel Club Canine
Good Citizen test. Former Vineland Public
Library Community Relations Coordinator
Anita Lupcho modeled Puppy Tales on
the national Reading Education Assistance
Dogs (R.E.A.D.) program.
Irresistible, obedient and impeccably
groomed, Cookie exuded a sense of calm.
What an inspiration to children of all ages!
Always eager to listen to a child read and
with perfectly good manners, Cookie
showed the meaning of love.
Great anxiety was caused in April 2014
when Cookie wandered away from her
yard. The search for Cookie went on for
three fretful days. Through the efforts and
prayers of many, Cookie was found and
returned to her parents.
In addition to the Vineland Library,
Cookie frequently spent her time visiting
senior citizen residences and children in
community classrooms. As a Licensed
Clinical Social Worker, Eloise and Cookie
often worked together during client therapy sessions.
This wonderful Cocker Spaniel dog,
Cookie, who made everyone smile, died on
September 6, 2014 at age 15. She was buried
on September 14 at Petland Cemetery,
Vineland. Her grave marker reads
CookieEloises Partner.
Although Cookie was one-of-a-kind
and clearly irreplaceable, we plan to open
our home in her memory to another white
and orange Cocker Spaniel in Spring, 2015,
Eloise said.
Throughout her lifetime, Cookie earned
and received many accolades, certificates of
accomplishments and loving letters from
those who knew her. Memories of One
Sweet Cookie are on display during
January and February at the Vineland
Public Library. I
