Y Offers Salsa, Sabor y Salud
A recent addition to the Ys roster of classes is Salsa, Sabor y
Salud. This free program was developed to improve awareness of
habits leading to better nutrition and increased physical activity
for Latino families with children aged 12 and younger. Families
participate actively in a series of eight sessions that reinforce the
importance of achieving energy balance through healthier food
choices and increased levels of physical activity. The next session
will be held at the Landis MarketPlace on Saturdays from 9 to 11
a.m. from March 10 to April 28.
Registrations for the Spring I Session at the YMCA are current-
ly underway. This is for fitness programs that will run from
February 27 to the week of April 21. Community members are
invited to participate. These classes meet for eight weeks for one,
two, or three times per week during day and evening hours. They
feature Spinning, Zumba, and Yoga, plus many aquatic programs
and youth sports.
New this session are Piloxing, Spin and Muscle. The former
uniquely combines the calmness and flexibility of Pilates with the
power and speed of boxing. It uses Pilates, dance, and boxing
moves. Spin and Muscle combines the ever popular Spinning
bicycling with strength exercises.
YMCA hours are 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday;
Saturdays, 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The
YMCA is located at 1159 East Landis Avenue, in Vineland. For
more information, visit the YMCA, call 856-691-0030, or check

Sacred Heart High students
and alumni have a five-year

Hope
Renewed
Students cheer as Monsignor John Burton delivers the good news.
The YMCA has partnered with Kraft Foods to bring Salsa, Sabor y
Salud, to Cumberland County. The national program addresses the
growing obesity rates and inactivity levels among Latino children.
O
n January 20, the community
of Vineland was dealt a devas-
tating blow when the Diocese
of Camden announced that it
would be closing Sacred Heart High School
due to financial hardship. The news
shocked and saddened both current stu-
dents and faculty, as well as alumni who
looked so fondly upon the time they had
spent at the 85-year-old facility.
On Friday, February 17, those disheart-
ened individuals found themselves with a
renewed sense of hope as it was announced
that Bishop Joseph Galante had approved a
new five-year financial plan designed to
keep the school open.
In front of a gymnasium filled with fac-
ulty members, alumni, and the entire stu-
dent body, Monsignor John Burton deliv-
ered the good news.
A few weeks ago, I had to make one of
the most difficult announcements Ive ever
had to make, he began. Things have
changed. Im happy to tell you that on

ho knew that the thumb
would gain such versatility
and importance in modern
society? Driving along a
back road the other day, I saw a man walk-
ing along the side of the road. No, he was not
trying to hitch a ridebut he was thumbing
it. Using his thumb, that is, to text.
I see it even more when I pick up my
kids from school or an activity, everyone
single-handedly holding a rectangle while
thumbing through messages or texting for a
ride home.
It used to beand not so long agothat
all our other fingers did the talking and the
thumb was responsible only for the spaces
in between our words.
From its invention in 1868 through much
of the 20th century, typewriters were the
neatest, most efficient way to communicate
in writing. And touch typing, with each fin-
ger responsible for a home key as well as two
or three others, was the fastest way to get the
words out. Even when displaced in the 1980s
by word processors and personal computers,
the same keyboard prevailed, despite an
occasional push to revamp it to make it more
finger-friendlyand perhaps faster.
QWERTY, pronounced kwer-tee, refers
to the arrangement of keys on a standard
English computer keyboard or typewriter.
The name derives from the first six charac-
ters on the top alphabetic line of the key-
board. New keyboards designed for speed
typing have been invented; the best-known
is called a Dvorak keyboard. Despite their
more rational designs, these new keyboards
never really caught on.
But all that time, for centuries, the
thumb was relegated to the space bar,
whereas all other digits had a handful of let-
ters to tend on the keyboard. Ironic, really,
when you think about humans and the
opposable thumb, so called because they
can be moved around to touch the other fin-
gers, giving us the ability to grasp things.
Most primates (humans, apes, and Old
World monkeys) and some other animals
have opposable thumbs, but humans can
move their thumb farther across the hand
than any other of these. This comes in handy
(pun intended) when texting and operating
other functions on the cell phone, as well as
in grasping things, picking up small objects,
and eating with one hand. Opposable
thumbs help us operate tools to make use of
resources in our environment. Supposedly,
the thumb is a visible sign of our intelligence
and ability to use our noggins for reasoning.
Opposable thumbs help monkeys and
apes climb trees and gather and eat their
food. Many primates also have toes on their
feet that can function like opposable
thumbs. These opposable toes are particu-
larly useful in climbing trees. Makes me
wonder: If humans had such toes, would
our kids still be climbing trees rather than
thumbing through the day on cell phones
and video games?
A school science exercise I found online
(I googgled for this on the computer using
all my fingers and no thumbs before Google
decided to log my personal information.)
has students trying the following activities
with their thumbs taped to their hands.
1. Write your name with a pencil
2. Put on a sock and shoe
3. Open a door using a knob
4. Brush or comb your hair
5. Button a button
6. Tie a shoelace
7. Blow up a balloon and tie it
8. Seal a plastic bag
9. Pull up a zipper
10. Pick a coin up off a flat surface
11. Brush your teeth
12. Open a jar
The students are instructed to decide if
the activity takes longer or is more difficult
to do without thumbs, is about the same
without thumbs, or if they cant do it at all
without their thumbs. Older students are
instructed to time themselves with and
without use of their thumbs.
This could be a fun exercise for families
on rainy or cold days when stuck indoors.
In my own household, I would add play a
video game to the list.
Teachers and students, I have yet one
more activity to add to the list: Try texting a
friend without your thumb.
All thumbs was not such a kind term in
the past, but we are all finding we could use
a few more thumbs these days. I

STRAIGHTENING TEETH HAS COME A LONG WAY. Braces work. Yet,
even though they come in bright colors these days, the brackets and steel wires still
work the same way. Food still gets stuck in them. Flossing and brushing are an
adventure. And, when youre a teenager sporting a mouthful of metal, easy and
condent smiles can be hard to come by.
ALL SMILES. NO SACRIFICES. Back when we were teenagers, putting up with the
hassles of braces and feeling self-conscious about wearing them were necessary in order to get
the smile you wanted. For todays teens, getting through those formative years can be a little
tougher. Thankfully, straightening their teeth with Invisalign Teen
TM
is a lot easier.
THE ADVANTAGES ARE CLEAR. Invisalign Teen is a series of virtually invisible
aligners that gradually straighten your teens teeth. And because theyre removable, proper
dental hygiene is a cinch. Since most people wont even know your teen is wearing Invisalign,
theyll have the condence to keep on smiling. Best of all, treatment costs about as much
as braces, and fewer doctor visits take up less of your time. Our aligners
even include a color-coded indicator that tells you how long your teens
been wearing them.
FIND OUT WHY MORE AND MORE MOMS ARE CHOOSING INVISALIGN TEEN.
Choosing how to straighten your teens teeth is a big decision. Visit our
website to see what other teenagers and their parents have to say about
us. Then take a few moments to take our Self Assessment together with
your teenager.
Invisalign Teen will help give your teenager the condence of a great
smileand theyll love you for it along the way.

Muzzled on Marriage Equality
Monday, February 13, 2012, was a sad day
for the people of New Jersey; the Senate
voted in favor of what they call Marriage
Equality. Never mind that there are far more
important issues in the agenda to vote for, but
Senate President Stephen Sweeney decided
to push this bill and give it priority.
Pushed by Bill sponsor Senator Loretta
Weinberg (D) of Bergen County; Monday,
February 13, 2012, in the Senate, she voiced
her strong support for the Marriage Equality-
Same Sex Marriages.
She muzzled my constitutional rights to
voice my opinion, she called me homophobic,
just because I happen to believe that marriages
should be between one man and one woman.
She also stated that some people oppose
this bill because of personal, political and/or
religious persuasion.
Yes, above all things, I am a Christian first
and I would like to adhere to the Word of
God as much as I possibly can. The Senator
mentioned her synagogue, that led me to con-
clude she is Jewish and that shocked me, for
it tells me she does not know the Bible or she
doesnt respect the Word of God.
In the book of Leviticus...God said: A man
shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is
an abomination (Lev. 18:22) and in (Lev.
20:13): If a man also lie with a man as he lies
with a woman has committed an abomina-
tion; they shall surely be put to death; their
blood shall be on them.
I amquite sure her Rabbi has an explanation
for her to justify that which God has written.
Pastor, Luis R. Corchado, Vineland
Arrogant Government
I am currently managing what is left of the
family farm established some 300 years ago
and I am increasingly finding my ground and
township under attack by arrogant state and
county planning departments. Serious infra-
structure issues exist in Greenwich Township
concerning the levees meant to protect valu-
able farmland. These levees have been in
need of repair for over decade; yet the county
and state have assiduously avoided address-
ing the matter. Instead, in November our
Township Committee received a letter issued
by the states Green Acres program offering to
buy flood prone properties. The purpose of
the letter was stated as follows.
Recent storms and ongoing flooding
throughout New Jersey has inspired all levels
of government to maximize federal and state
grants for the buyout of flood prone proper-
ties. It is the Department of Environmental
Protections belief that getting people out of
harms way, combined with creating open
space, warrants innovative action.
However, three sentences later the letter
goes on to say that: Lands acquired under
this program must be available for public
recreation and conservation purposes.
Okay, let me see if I got this right: The State
and County have failed to address the repair
of levees for more than 10 years and now they
want to save me from my dangerous property
by buying the land and opening up said dan-
gerous property to public recreation. Huh?
Meanwhile, the Cumberland County
Planning Department has been on a three-year
mission to construct 100-plus miles of bike and
mixed-use trails into our area. The proposed
$9,500,000 project would construct trails across
public and private land fromEast Point outside
of Heislerville/Mauricetown to Bay Side in
Greenwich, effectively connecting Vineland,
Millville and Bridgeton. The budget includes
toilet facilities, traffic lights, signage, trail con-
struction and a wooden boardwalk at Bay Side
(where every watch tower built in the last 20
years has been burned down by vandals).
With an estimated $5,000 to $7,000 a mile
in annual maintenance costs to be assumed
by local municipalities the County Planning
Department is creating a new $500,000+ tax
burden for the residents of the county and
municipalities involved.
Both of the projects described above trace
their roots back to the Sustainable Jersey ini-
tiative at the state level and come with warm
and fuzzy names like Smart Growth, Coastal
Blue Acres and Rails-to-Trails dangling grant
money in front our local politicians at a time
when they need money desperately. Thats
the hook. After all, who doesnt want to be
smart or care about environment, especially if
there is money attached? But beware; the
funding provided through these programs
often comes with pernicious strings attached
that threaten property rights in your area.
Politicians, like children, tend to behave
better when they know that theyre being
watched. I encourage all residents of
Cumberland County and statewide to height-
en their awareness of what the state, the
county and your local municipalities are plot-
ting for the future of your property.
Attend planning meetings if you can. If you
cant, request that copies of upcoming meeting
agendas and meeting minutes be e-mailed to
you so that you have at least a general idea of
what your officials are doing. Read the fine
print in any grants your township may be con-
sidering or establish a Citizens Property Rights
council to stay on top of these issues and
ensure that your rights are protected.

In Remembrance Robert Ryan Halpin
12/15/79 to 2/20/04
As long as my heart beats
You will always be safe
You will never be troubled
You will never be scared
You will always be remembered and loved
You will always be alive
Every tear that has been shed for you, has
been a prayer for you
Every time I have been overwhelmed with
sadness and grief.
The memory of you, brings me back to
my feet.
From your first breath and to your last, I
was there with you
So grateful to be there with you
As your mother I promise to never give
up, to never give in, to never forget
that you were once and always will
be a part of me, not apart from me
As long as my heart beats
To forever and back again
Fiercely Loved and Never Forgotten,
Love always, Mom
Students Pay Homage to Underground Railroad
Creative
Achievement
Academy students
created a quilt
based on their stud-
ies of the
Underground
Railroad. After learn-
ing about the back-
ground history and
historical design pat-
terns of the era, stu-
dents created fabric
squares. These
squares were then
sewn together to
complete the quilt.
The finished product will be used in a history lesson on how the quilts are
crafted. Students will also learn the story that each quilt piece tells. Pictured
here: Christopher Wilson and Candido Barbosa with the quilt.

Wednesday, Bishop Galante advised me
that he was able to reverse his decision.
Burton had to pause for a standing ova-
tion that lasted close to a minute. In the
bleachers, students jumped up and down,
embracing one another, some of them with
tears of ebullience streaming down their
faces.
Sacred Heart High School will contin-
ue to operate next year, and the year after
that, and, please God, for many years to
come, said Burton.
The announcement marked the begin-
ning of a long road ahead for Sacred Heart.
Galantes decision to overturn school clos-
ing came on the heels of a fundraising pro-
posal spearheaded by The Save Sacred
Heart High School Committeemade up
of a group of concerned alumnias well as
a new financial plan proposed by the
school.
The plan will address concerns regard-
ing both Sacred Hearts financial standing,
as well as its floundering enrollment. A new
board will be established and tasked with
developing a five-year plan to assure the
schools future as a diocesan high school.
The school is also expected to select a
new Head of School, who will oversee a
streamlined academic structure. The
process for interviewing potential candi-
dates is expected to begin immediately.
From here, the next thing is to get the
ball rolling, said Burton. We need to start
looking at the structuring of the deal, and
how its going to look going forward. We
need to set up the board and get the appro-
priate candidates on it. And we need to
look at ways to increase our enrollment.
Coinciding with the schools efforts to
staff a new board and increase their enroll-
ment, the Save Sacred Heart High School
Committee will be expected to man the
fundraising efforts. This will be particularly
important as the new plan firmly states that
Sacred Heart will not be receiving subsidies
from the diocese in the foreseeable future.
To address the schools current deficit,
the Committee is expected to raise
$300,000 by May 1, with an additional
$300,000 to be deposited by December 1.
Fran Reilly, one of the founding mem-
bers of the Committee, insisted that there
are already some ideas on how to get
money pledged and that formal fundraising
efforts would begin immediately.
Were going to raise money in a broad
variety of ways, he said. Were going to
get some grassroots campaigns going, one
of which asks people to pledge $500 each
year for the next five years. Different
events have been discussed as well. Some
people have mentioned a concert. Theres
going to be a faculty basketball game next
Friday night. Were going to do a lot of net-
working and reach out to all the alumni.
Lawrence Pepper, Class of 1961 alumnus
and Chair of the groups fundraising com-
mittee, stated that theyve already seen
some results.
Weve been very heartened by the
response to date, by the financial commit-
ments weve received, without any real for-
mal effort, and by the apparent broad-
based support among our alumni and
friends, he said.
All parties involved expressed cautious
optimism. For now, theyve been granted a
reprieve. Freshman registration for 2012-13
will begin on February 25. I

Keeping Vineland Beautiful
Ironically, a sign that makes this declaration is in dire need of
replacement. Students will help design and build its successor.
R
egular readers of this column like-
ly know that keeping downtown
Vineland looking nice is critical to
the success of revitalizing Landis
Avenue. Each year, volunteers from our
Design Committee can be counted on to help
beautify downtown by participating in our
Spring and Fall Planting Days, lending a hand
in public art projects, writing grants to pur-
chase new site fixtures and so much more.
Last year, the 500 block of Landis Avenue
(between the Boulevard and Sixth Street)
received a new streetscape, which really
helped to spruce up the area. In addition to
that, a number of businesses in the same
block have received new facades that greatly
enhanced the curb appeal of Landis Avenue.
But there is still more to do.
The 500 block is home to what I call the
most ironic sign in Vineland: It sits at the
entrance to an improved alleyway, reads
Keep Vineland Beautiful and it is in a
pathetic state. Its ugly, faded, falling apart
and in desperate need of being replaced.
Fortunately, thats just what we plan to do
with the help of students and staff at
Vineland High School and the Cumberland
County Vo-Tech.
Rather than using a professional sign
company to do the job, weve asked Vineland
High School art students to create their own
designs for consideration by our Design
Committee, our Board of Directors and
Mayor Romano. The winning design will
then have blueprints created by the high
schools Auto CAD class, and the sign is
expected to be fabricated by students and
staff at Cumberland County Vo-Tech.
To determine which design is
the winner, each entry will be
judged on creativity, attractiveness,
appropriateness for the downtown
and feasibility in terms of cost,
installation and durability. The stu-
dent who submits the winning design will
receive a $100 Visa gift card.
This is the latest way that our partnership
with area students is helping to revitalize our
downtown and make it a great place for
shopping, eating, entertainment, or just for a
good time. We appreciate all that they do and
we will be calling on our volunteer partners
again for other projects.
Speaking of volunteers, our Organization
Committee has been at work planning our
annual Volunteer Information and
Networking Event (VINE), to be held on
Wednesday, April 18, in downtown Vineland.
The VINE is a greatand completely free
event designed to help us recruit new volun-
teers and get them involved in the continued
revitalization of Landis Avenue.
More information on time and location
will be coming out soon, so be sure to watch
this column for details. I

Vineland, visit 603 E. Landis Ave., call 794-

The 4-H Favorite Food Show is somewhat
of a competitive event, and yet even though
winners are picked, there are no losers.
Thats because each 4-Her is recognized
with an award ribbon and special gift from
the sponsor, Millville Kiwanis Club.
The philosophy behind each education-
al 4-Hevent and judging programstems
fromthe fact that 4-Hers are always recog-
nized for their achievements. There are no
losers among participants, explains
Jeannette Rea-Keywood, County 4-HAgent.
Judging for the food, table setting and
nutrition event occurred on Saturday,
February 4, at the Cumberland Mall.
This marks the 38th year that Millville

Y
ears ago, the only way to get a bowl
of soup for lunch was out of a
Campbell's Soup can. Or if you
were lucky, you could find home-
made soup in a diner. Now, the only other
thing that seems to help cheer me up and get
me through the cold days of winter is the
anticipation of a hot bowl of homemade soup
accompanied by a great sandwich for lunch. I
have searched around town for the best soups
and here are some of my favorites:
The cheesy-rich French Onion Soup from
Martinos Trattoria on Chestnut Avenue
The dense, flavorful Lentil Soup from The
Olympia Greek Restaurant on Delsea Drive
The Spicy Mediterranean Crab Soup from
Michaels at the LaSalle Plaza on East Landis
Avenue
A Taste Of Italys creamy Lima Bean Soup
The incredible Crema de Chile Poblano Soup
from Las Lomas at the Landis MarketPlace
And the hearty Meat Tortellini Soup from
Gardellas Deli on Brewster Road.
All of these are just fabulous! Each one has
a different taste and texture and each satisfies
the wonderful delight and expectations we all
hope to find in a homemade soup. Even if I
dont have the makings for a sandwich, I
always eat it with a whole-grain crusty bread
drizzled with olive oil. This combination is
delectable.
It is hard to resist the convenience and
variety that is out there, but one thing that I
always insist upon is my own homemade
chicken soup when I am sick with a cold or
the flu. Just the smell of it simmering away on
the stove makes me feel better.
Here is my current favorite Chicken Soup, a
real delight with a perky taste that has a sur-
prising layer of flavors. Try it the next time
youre homebound and just let yourself soak in
its enticing fragrance. Youll feel better instantly.
Hearty Mexican Style Chicken Soup
2 whole chickens about 3 1/2 lbs each
4 carrots, halved crosswise
1 large yellow onion, halved
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups white rice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 ripe avocados
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
3 limes, halved
Place the chickens, carrots, onion, and
salt in a 12-quart pot. Add enough cold water
(about 16 cups) to cover. Bring to a boil, then
simmer gently, uncovered, for 1 hour. Skim
foam off top. Transfer the chickens to plates;
let cool. Remove and discard the carrots and
onion. Add the rice to the broth and simmer
for 20 minutes. Shred the chicken meat, add
it and the pepper to the broth and heat for 3
minutes. Scoop the avocados into individual
bowls and ladle the soup over the top.
Sprinkle with the cilantro and squeeze on
the limes. I

County College
Forecast
The President of Cumberland County College looks
back on a banner year, and to fulfillment of the
five-year plan and beyond.
T
his has been a year filled with
distinctive accomplishments by
the entire Cumberland County
College community, especially
our students.
Last June, CCCs accreditation was
officially reaffirmed by the Middle States
Commission on Higher Education. This is
great news for the college and the com-
munity because Middle States accredita-
tion assures universities and employers
that CCC conducts top-notch academic
programs. Also, accreditation is necessary
for approval by the federal government to
provide student financial aid funds.
The largest class in CCCs history645
studentsgraduated last May. About 500
students per semester studied for their
bachelors and masters degrees at the
Shirlee and Bernard Brown University
Center. Throughout 2011, the colleges
outstanding faculty, staff and students
were recognized locally, regionally and
nationally for their achievements.
And we are building a community of
partnerships as the college moves for-
ward with the implementation of a five-
year strategic plan, which was publicly
launched this month. The plans three
Directions include student engagement
and completion, leadership and service
learning, and workforce and economic
development.
The 2012-2017 Strategic Plan is a GPS
for strengthening our community by pro-
viding opportunities for people to
improve their lives through education.
Please note that I didnt refer to this as
Cumberland County Colleges Strategic
Plan. No, this plan is the result of a col-
laborative effort by college and communi-
ty leaders.
We began the strategic planning
process about two years ago. And last
September, college and community lead-
ers convened at Cumberland County
College to attend a day-long strategic
planning assembly to share their ideas for
moving the college and community for-
ward during the next five years.
The ideas generated at the September
strategic planning assemblymore than
60 ideas were recordedprovided guid-
ance for preparing the three Directions
and 10 Goals in the 2012-2017 Strategic
Plan, which was approved by the CCC
Board of Trustees in December.
During the next five years, college and
community leaders will work together to
implement many of the fresh perspectives
offered at the assembly.
Some of the plans goals include
increasing the college readiness of enter-
ing students, increasing the number of
students completing gatekeeper courses
such a English and math, and increasing
the number of students earning degrees.
The plan calls for collaborating with
community groups to integrate service
learning into CCCs programs. And to
enhance economic development, the col-
lege will partner with businesses, indus-
tries and community groups to imple-
ment entrepreneurial initiatives.
I think we have created a great 2012-
2017 Strategic Plan, but this is just the
beginning of our journey. We must work
together to transform the ideas generated
by local leaders and the college communi-
ty into real, vibrant programs and services
that will change students lives forever.
Since the colleges and countys
futures are intertwined, we need our
leaders to continue sharing their expert-
ise and time as we move forward as a
team, preparing residents for success in
the 21st century.

M
uch of America spent the last
week mourning Whitney
Houston, or at least, thats
what our media would have
you believe. Locally, we had the little skir-
mish over whether the states American flags
would be flown at half-mast to honor the
native New Jerseyan. Thats an honor usually
reserved for those who have distinguished
themselves with long and faithful service to
our nation.
Miss Houston had a couple of hit records,
a long and unhealthy relationship with an
abuser and an unspecified number of addic-
tions. But she did have a beautiful voice.
Last week I stood at attention with a num-
ber of other old soldiers as we laid a beautiful
man to rest. His name was RichardRich to
meand he hadnt done anything that would
bring the media spotlight on his life. The only
things at half-mast were the hearts of those
who would miss him.
Ive been in the media business for 40
plus years so I have a little bit of an idea
about what sells newspapers.
The local dailies probably each sold an
extra hundred or so copies with my father-
in-laws obit: Ive noticed it on the refrigera-
tor in a couple of homes Ive visited since his
passing.
Society could, but it wont, honor his pass-
ing. Reason is that there are just too, too many
men and women just like my father-in-law.
He was a first-generation American (both
parents were born in Italy) and lived the real
American Dream (as opposed to the mythic
one that our media culture honors).
He didnt have a lot but he lived comfort-
ably. He went to work and church and, with
his wife, Alice, raised law-abiding children.
In fact, his life was probably a lot like
your parents: It sure was a lot like that of my
own parents, almost eerily so.
My own dad passed several years ago. He
was 93. Rich was 89.
Both had spent a number of their Golden
Years tending to invalid spouses.
Both did so with the natural grace of men
who understood duty and obligation.
Both loved their local baseball teams and
birds. In fact, when my dad passed, I brought
a number of his old bird books to Rich.
Both came from big families and
enjoyed all the buzz and drama of family
get-togethers.
Neither was what you would call a macho
guyquite the opposite, both were gentle
men.
Their grandchildren and great-grandchil-
dren loved them. My own grandchildren
never got to meet my dad, but they knew
Grandpa Rich. When we dropped in to
visit, he would fill them up with milk and
graham crackers and, when we got ready to
leave, each got a box of animal crackers to
share when you get home.
They were good men.
Both shared a love of dressing sharp. In
fact, my last conversation with my dad was
about shoes. In the rest home (he had stage
four cancer, same as Rich) Dad asked me if I
liked his shoes. His once strong voice (he
called us to supper from a block away) was
now just a whisper.
Sure, I said, looking at his tan rough
suede shoes.
What size do you wear, he whispered.
When I told him, he said, I want you to
have these.
Sadly, after he passed, I flew back home
without mentioning the incident to my
brother or sister. All of Dads stuff, including
the shoes, was donated to worthy causes.
Now, I think about those shoes a lot.
Thinking of shoes brings me right back to
Rich.
After I retired I gave away all my work
clothes, keeping one dark suit for weddings
and funerals. Just the opposite of Dad and
Rich, I had decided on a no-frills retirement.
At a funeral a few years ago, one of the
heels came off my by-then-shabby dress
shoes. When I mentioned it to Rich, who was
there, he insisted that we stop at his house
and that I pick a good pair from his closet
full.
I returned them after the following
Christmas when my kidsfollowing instruc-
tions from my wifegifted me with a nice
pair of dress shoes.
When I returned Richs shoes he said, I
didnt expect them back.
So, I got to walk a mile or so in Richs
shoes.
With Dad, Im just still struggling to fol-
low his footsteps. I

IVintage Vineland { VINCE FARINACCIO }
Good Egg(s)
A contest here in Vineland results in scientific
experimentation that benefits the growth of
the poultry industry.
I
n 1916, Vineland drew worldwide
attention when it hosted the
International Egg Laying and
Breeding Contest, securing its posi-
tion as one of the leading poultry capitals.
But this wasnt a contest in the convention-
al sense, since it was designed as a three-
year study to obtain scientific information
to benefit the future of the poultry industry.
The concept of such a contest originat-
ed in England and developed into a more
extensive one-year competition at the start
of the 20th century. According to The First
Two Years of the Vineland Contest by Harry
Reynolds Lewis, Elmer H. Wene and
Ralston R. Hannas, the first U.S. contest
began on November 1, 1911, in Storrs,
Connecticut. The event, consisting of 100
pens with five hens in each, was initially
planned for one year but was extended
another 12 months. Other states soon host-
ed similar contests, but as The First Two
Years of the Vineland Contest explains,
New Jersey was reluctant to participate.
The poultry department of the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station
has frequently been asked to organize and
supervise such one-year contests, the
text reports, but has continually refused
to do so believing that the benefits of such
a one-year affair were very limited and
largely an advertising scheme for the con-
testants with no compensating research
possibilities. When planning the Vineland
Contest the idea of including the breeding
feature was adopted
The First Two Years of the Vineland
Contest defined a major objective of the
event as providing some authentic and
accurate means whereby the poultryman
can demonstrate his ability to breed for a
high egg production. The breeder of exhi-
bition birds has the opportunity to
demonstrate his efforts by competition in
the show room. The egg-laying contest,
and especially the egg-laying and breeding
contest, will allow him to determine and
show his mastery of this additional feature
of poultry keeping.
The new plan met with such approval
from New Jersey poultry groups as well as
those out of state, that enrollment in the
competition was overwhelming. Lewis,
Wene and Hannas report, and as plans
began to mature for such an enlarged con-
test a suitable and appropriate place for
conducting such a contest was looked for
with the result that Vineland, New Jersey,
was chosen, in view primarily of the fact
that this district represents one of the
most intensive and successful poultry pro-
ducing centers in the United States and
also because of the hearty cooperation
given to the movement from the people of
this section both financially and through
moral support.
The event ran from November 1, 1916,
until October 31, 1919. In the August 20,
1917 Historical and Industrial Edition of
the Evening Journal, an article on the
competition noted that not only was the
land for the contest loaned by the
Vineland Training School, but the equip-
ment was provided by local poultry
groups and other businesses of the city.
There were 100 pens on the grounds, each
containing 10 hens selected from the stan-
dard 10 varieties in the field.
These birds are being trap-nested for
two years, the Evening Journal explains,
and will be pedigree bred during the sec-
ond spring and their progeny placed in the
pens the third year. It is expected that the
results of this cooperative investigation will
be great, both for the practical poultryman
as well as for the science of breeding.
The Vineland newspaper also identified
Wene as the superintendent of the opera-
tion, having been in charge of the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station in
New Brunswick, where Lewis, the super-
visor of the Vineland contest, also worked.
Lewis had written a series of textbooks on
the subject of poultry and had been a mem-
ber of several organizations on the topic.
On June 17, 1918, the New York Times
reported that five thousand chickens of
known ancestry was the result of this
springs hatching in the Vineland interna-
tional egg-laying and breeding contest
and that the yearling hens at Vineland
this year have exceeded in production all
other contests throughout the country.
The borough had notched yet another
achievement in its legacy, but the ultimate
accomplishment actually belonged to a
White Plymouth Rock hen that hailed
from Holliston, Massachusetts. During the
previous year in Vineland, she managed to
lay 301 eggs! I
