Vintage Vineland

{ BY VINCE FARINACCIO }

Plum Street Hall


In October, 1868, Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony
attended a two days convention in Vineland, and
helped to rouse the enthusiasm of the people.

y the time members of the


American Equal Rights
Association (AERA) arrived in
Vineland in 1868, the group was
already crumbling. Two of its leading figures, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, were estranged from Lucy
Stone, yet all three continued to bring
their cause to the attention of the country. But their separate visits to Vineland
have caused some confusion when it
comes to the circumstances, dates and
impact of their stopovers here.
Although Anthony is usually credited
as the first of the AERA members to visit
here, Lucy Stone arrived in Vineland
ahead of her compatriots by nearly a year.
According to online sources, she, along
with other suffrage advocates, appeared
at a womens rights convention at Plum
Street Hall on November 29 and 30, 1867.
Stone was one of the key speakers, and
the convention would certainly prove an
influence on the women in Vineland the
following year.
Anthonys visit occurred September 5,
1868, and the information handed down
over the years has her traveling to
Vineland alone. However, according to
The History of Woman Suffrage, Volume 3,
edited by Stanton and Anthony, that was
not the case. The text reports that
Anthony held a spirited meeting in
Rahway on Christmas Eve, December 24,
1867. The following October, 1868, Mrs.
Stanton and Miss Anthony attended a two
days convention in Vineland, and helped
to rouse the enthusiasm of the people.
In addition to an appearance at Plum
Street Hall and a meeting with the
Woman Suffrage Association of Vineland,
the two activists clearly acquainted themselves with the town. While a detailed
account of their visit is not available, a
letter from an unidentified woman
included in The History of Woman
Suffrage reveals that Vineland contained a
perfect model for the activists cause at
one of the towns churches.
The Unitarian church in this town is
highly favored in having for its pastor a
young man of progressive and thoroughly
liberal ideas, the letter reports. Rev.
Oscar Clute is well known as an earnest
advocate in the cause of woman. Last

Sunday the communion or Lords Supper


was administered in his church. One of
the laymen who usually assists in the distribution of the bread and wine was
absent, and Mr. Clute invited one of the
women to officiate in his stead. She did so
in such a sweet and hospitable manner
that it gave new interest to the occasion.
Even those who do not like innovations
could not find fault. And why should anyone be displeased? The Christ of the
sacrament was the emancipator of
women. In olden time they had deaconesses, and in most of our churches
women constitute a majority of the communicants, so it seems particularly appropriate that they should be served by
women. Women vote on all matters connected with this church, they are on all
standing committees, and sometimes are
chosen to act as trustees.
Vineland no doubt made an impression
on Anthony and Stanton, but the two
women had a significant impact on the
town as well. By the end of October, 172
women residents had decided they would
vote in the presidential election in early
November.
In an account by one of those women,
Elizabeth A. Kingsbury, written two days
after the election and published in the
November 19, 1868 edition of Anthony
and Stantons newspaper, The Revolution,
the details of this momentous event are
revealed: At a meeting of women, held
the week before election, a unanimous
vote was taken that we would go to the
polls. John Gage, chairman of the Woman
Suffrage Association of Vineland, called a
meeting, and though the day was an
inclement one, there was a good attendance. A number of earnest men as well
as women addressed the audienceAt
7:30 a.m., November 3, John and Portia
Gage and myself entered Union Hall,
where the judges of election had already
established themselves for the dayWe
seated ourselves in the chairs brought for
the occasion, when one gentleman placed
a small table for our use. Another
inquired if we were comfortable and the
room sufficiently warm. Truly, we
thought, this does not look like a terrible
opposition. I

Exciting things are in the works for
Vineland High School. Recently, students
crafted original desins and created four
unique pairs of Vans Sneakers. Each pair
of these sneakers show a different theme:
Local Flavor or the character behind
our great city of Vineland, Art, Action
Sports, and Music, and are all truly
works of art.
Corey Petit, the art teacher at Vineland
High school who entered the school in the

competition was excited to have such a


great group of kids work on such an important task. He selected Andrew Alieca,
Robert Tony Bennett, Leann Carlson and
Ashley Kenney for his staff of artists.
Putting in long hours and making sure all
the final details were complete, the photos
of the sneakers were submitted to the Vans
Company for their Custom Culture Contest
right before Spring break. With the results
posted, it is official that Vineland High
School has made it into Round Two, placing in the Top 50 out of 3,000 high schools,
throughout the entire nation.
This contest aims to award one high
school in the country with $50,000 for

MOTHERS DAY: SUNDAY, MAY 10


Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient
Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in
honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and
Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent
for Mothers Day is the early Christian festival known as Mothering Sunday. Once a
major tradition in the United Kingdom and
parts of Europe, this celebration fell on the
fourth Sunday in Lent and was originally
seen as a time when the faithful would
return to their mother churchthe main
church in the vicinity of their homefor a
special service. Over time the Mothering
Sunday tradition shifted into a more secular holiday, and children would present

their mothers with flowers and other


tokens of appreciation. This custom eventually faded in popularity before merging
with the American Mothers Day in the
1930s and 1940s.
The roots of the modern American
Mothers Day date back to the 19th century.
In the years before the Civil War (1861-65),
Ann Reeves Jarvis of West Virginia helped
start Mothers Day Work Clubs to teach
local women how to properly care for their
children. These clubs later became a unifying force in a region of the country still
divided over the Civil War. In 1868, Jarvis
organized Mothers Friendship Day, at
which mothers gathered with former
Union and Confederate soldiers to promote
reconciliation.
Another precursor to Mothers Day
came from the abolitionist and suffragette
Julia Ward Howe. In 1870 Howe wrote the
Mothers Day Proclamation, a call to
action that asked mothers to unite in promoting world peace. In 1873 Howe campaigned for a Mothers Peace Day to be
celebrated every June 2. Other early
Mothers Day pioneers include Juliet
Calhoun Blakely, a temperance activist who
inspired a local Mothers Day in Albion,

Michigan, in the 1870s. The duo of Mary


Towles Sasseen and Frank Hering, meanwhile, both worked to organize a Mothers
Day in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some have even called Hering the
father of Mothers Day.
The official Mothers Day holiday arose
in the 1900s as a result of the efforts of
Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis.
Following her mothers 1905 death, Anna
Jarvis conceived of Mothers Day as a way

of honoring the sacrifices mothers made


for their children. After gaining financial
backing from a Philadelphia department
store owner named John Wanamaker, in
May 1908 she organized the first official
Mothers Day celebration at a Methodist
church in Grafton, West Virginia. That
same day also saw thousands of people
attend a Mothers Day event at one of
Wanamakers retail stores in Philadelphia.
Following the success of her first

Mothers Day, Jarviswho remained


unmarried and childless her whole life
resolved to see her holiday added to the
national calendar. Arguing that American
holidays were biased toward male achievements, she started a massive letter writing
campaign to newspapers and prominent
politicians urging the adoption of a special
day honoring motherhood. By 1912 many
states, towns and churches had adopted
Mothers Day as an annual holiday, and
Jarvis had established the Mothers Day
International Association to help promote
her cause. Her persistence paid off in 1914
when President Woodrow Wilson signed a
measure officially establishing the second
Sunday in May as Mothers Day.
Anna Jarvis had originally conceived of

Mothers Day as a day of personal celebration between mothers and families. Her
version of the day involved wearing a white
carnation as a badge and visiting ones
mother or attending church services. But
once Mothers Day became a national holiday, it was not long before florists, card
companies and other merchants capitalized
on its popularity.
While Jarvis had initially worked with
the floral industry to help raise Mothers
Days profile, by 1920 she had become disgusted with how the holiday had been
commercialized. She outwardly denounced
the transformation and urged people to
stop buying Mothers Day flowers, cards
and candies. Jarvis eventually resorted to
an open campaign against Mothers Day

Ways to Celebrate
In the United States, Mothers
Day continues to be celebrated by
presenting mothers and other
women with gifts and flowers, and
it has become one of the biggest
holidays for consumer spending.
Families might also celebrate by
giving mothers a day off from
activities like cooking or other
household chores.
At times Mothers Day has also
been a date for launching political
or feminist causes. In 1968 Coretta
Scott King, wife of Martin Luther
King Jr., used Mothers Day to host
a march in support of underprivileged women and children.
In the 1970s womens groups
also used the holiday as a time to
highlight the need for equal rights
and access to childcare.

launched countless lawsuits against groups
that had used the name Mothers Day,
eventually spending most of her personal
wealth in legal fees. By the time of her
death in 1948 Jarvis had disowned the holiday altogether, and even actively lobbied
the government to see it removed from the
American calendar. I

Tooting the Horns of All-Star Raimonde Brothers


Two musically talented
brothers who attend
Vineland Public Schools
have qualified to perform in
"All-Star" bands this year,
according to their respective
music directors. The brothers are Dimitri Raimonde, a
junior at VHS South, and his
brother Alek, a fourth grade
student at Mennies
Elementary School.
Dimitri began playing the
trumpet in sixth grade,
according to Bill McDevitt,
music director at Vineland High School. The VHS junior has participated in the
Cumberland County Honors Band twice. For the past two years, he has successfully auditioned for the South Jersey Senior High Honors Band, sponsored by The
South Jersey Band and Orchestra Directors Association (SJBODA). Each year, more
than 800 students audition for this honor. Last year, he finished number 12 in
South Jersey and performed with the South Jersey Symphonic Band. This year, he
finished number two in the region and performed with the South Jersey Wind
Ensemble, the Senior High Orchestra, and the South Jersey Brass Quintet. Because
of his ranking, he was eligible to audition for New Jersey All State Band. He auditioned along with about 500 other students from throughout the state and placed
14th. He performed with the NJ All-State Symphonic Band in February.
Dimitri is truly one of the finest musicians that I have ever had the pleasure to
teach, said McDevitt. He has a natural musicianship that cannot be taught. He is
an excellent section leader in the Marching Band at VHS, and very well respected
by the entire membership."
Dimitri is also an Eagle Scout.
Alek Raimonde was selected to perform in the 23rd Annual South Jersey
Elementary Honors Band, also sponsored by SJBODA. The fourth grader plays
trumpet under the direction of Mrs. Rebecca Allen. The best young musicians in
South Jersey performed together in concert April 25 at Absegami High School.
Allen describes Alek as a hard worker who definitely deserves a spot in this
excellent experience.

Route 54 Diner Opens Under


New Management
Local residents are cordially invited to
attend the grand re-opening of the 54
Diner in Buena Vista Township on
Saturday, May 2. The popular local eatery
is now being operated by Newfield resident
Frank Martinelli, who formerly ran the
Sunny Side Diner in that town.
I really missed being behind the grill,
Martinelli said while cooking at his new
diner, expertly flipping a platter-sized
pancake that quickly turned a goldenbrown.
Martinelli decided that the 54 Diner was
a good investment because it is conveniently located on Route 54 between Vineland
and Hammonton. It is a vintage Mountain
View Dining Car that was moved to its current location in 1972.
It was actually manufactured by
Mountain View in 1957, and started out as
the Town and Country Diner in
Haddonfield, said Martinelli. I doubt that
there are many like it left in the state.
Plans for the grand re-opening include a
ribbon-cutting ceremony with Buena
Borough and Buena Vista Township officials, and a car show open free of charge to
all contestants. Trophies will be awarded to
the top entries.
There will also be a visit from popular
local radio personality Carol Chrzanowski
(known to her fans as Philly Carol) of
Station 92.1 Cruisin WVLT. The event
will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a
limited menu available.
The diner is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
daily for breakfast and lunch. In addition to
pancakes, the daily menu features waffles,
breakfast sandwiches, burgers and subs.

at 856-405-6196.

4-H Member Receives


Honorable Mention in 2015
National 4-H Essay Contest
Cumberland County 4-H member
Heather Koering of Vineland, New Jersey
received an Honorable Mention in the 2015
National 4-H Essay Contest. The contest
was sponsored by the Foundation for the
Preservation of Honey Bees, Inc. The topic
for the contest was Planting for Bees from
Backyards and Up.
Beekeeping has become difficult due to a
lack of native plants for forage. In the essay,
participants were asked to discuss ways that
habitats can be modified to become bee
friendly, reflect upon their local communitys efforts and survey the community to
determine if there is a wildflower planting
program available or any other program
that could aid the honey bee.
In early April, three winners were cho-

sen to be the National best. In first place


was Virginia Harness, from Nampa, Idaho
with her essay entitled The Preservation
of Honey Bees in Idaho.
Second place went to Natalie Shimo
from Mercer, Pennsylvania with her essay
entitled Pennsylvanias Pollinator
Programs.
In third place was Raymond Moats,
from Brooksville, Florida with his essay
entitled Floridas Outreach to Save Our
Plants.
Honorable Mention also goes out to
Heather Koering from Vineland, with her
essay entitled Everyone Can do Their Part
to Aid the Honey Bee.
The Foundation for the Preservation of
Honey Bees, Inc. is proud to provide these
talented 4-H essay winners with a monetary prize and the opportunity to have each
paper published in the upcoming issues of
the American Beekeeping Federation
Newsletter.
Congratulations to all who submitted
4-H essays this year and especially to
Cumberland County 4-H Member
Heather Koering for her outstanding representation of our County 4-H program.
Cumberland County 4-H is home to the
WannaBees 4-H Club which explores beekeeping. The club is led by 4-H Leaders

Dr. Thomasina Jones, Superintendent of Bridgeton Public Schools, was recently the guest speaker at the Boys & Girls Club of Vineland's "SMART Girls Wear
Pearls" event, which was held in recognition of Women's History Month in March.
Jones thanked volunteer Janice Clark for the opportunity to address this awesome group of boys and girls. She also expressed appreciation to the staff for
their support.
Dr. Jones told the story of a little girl born in a poor, rural town in the 1950s.
The little girls parents sent her down South to be raised by her grandmother on
a small farm. The child was taught to read by the time she was three-years-old
and when she became a teenager she had great oratory skills. Her father was a
strict disciplinarian but supported her as she entered college on a full scholarship. She earned accolades as the first African American and first woman to
anchor a newscast in Nashville, TN.
Years later that same little girl hosted her own show and became world famous
as Oprah Winfrey. Dr. Jones encouraged the audience to DREAM just like Oprah
Winfrey did as a little girl: Desire, Reach, Embrace, Action and Manifestation."
She is pictured at center with Club members, staff, board members, volunteers
and guests at the Carl Arthur Recreation Center during the event.

2015 EP HENRY

Chairman of the Friends of Historic


Vineland, who will talk about history of
immigration to Vineland, especially the
Hispanic community and its influence
here.
What would a festival like this be without music and well have Kolmiyo on hand
for you to perform regional Mexican
music, and well also have traditional
Mexican mariachi music.
The festival will also have a special
added attraction: Tortaa giant
Mexican sandwich-eating contest with a
special prize awarded to the winner.
I like events that are spearheaded by
businesses with support from our Main
Street organization. Just as this event has
grown, I want to see more events started
by businesses and helping businesses.
Come out and enjoy!
***
I want to give you another reminder of
Spring Planting Day, coming up the day
before the festival, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
and also rain or shine. Well be following
up on last Saturdays Spring Clean-Up Day
to plant flowers and add seasonal color to
the mini-parks at Landis Avenue and the
Boulevard and other locations. Well all
meet at the mini-parks and extra volunteers can move on to other locations. If
you have gloves and small garden tools,
bring them, though well have some, too.
Well have pizza for you when were done.
Itll be great exercise. Call me or just come
out and help us instill some Vineland
Pride. I

*When installed by an EP Henry Authorized Hardscaping Contractor through I-to-I.

everal columns back, I wrote about


Vineland Pride and how each one of
us can do our part to bring pride
back to our downtown and our entire
community. We have an easy way for you
to help us get started.
Vineland is a cultural melting pot and
we in Main Street Vineland like to take
advantage of that fact, when it comes to
fun and festivals. Thats why our Cinco de
Mayo Multicultural Festival, occurring
rain or shine, on Sunday, May 3 (1 to 7
p.m.), gets bigger every year.
The festival started out three years ago
as a Landis MarketPlace event in the markets rear parking lot. Now, thanks to the
hard work of event organizers Jos
Martinez of Las Lomas Fresh Mexican
Grille in the market and designer Jerry
Lukas, the event has grown to where it
will fill the 600 block of Landis Avenue
with fun from many different cultures.
Main Street Vineland is organizing the
event and were proud to have as its major
sponsors Main Pharmacy and La Brava
Radio. Main Pharmacy will be giving away
to the first 100 people who visit their
booth free Embrace Blood Glucose
Monitoring unitsthat talk to you in
English and Spanishfor people with diabetes. La Brava Radio will be the radio
sponsor for the event.
Youll be able to partake of Mexican
food, music, and folk dancing, multicultural cuisine, arts and crafts, educational
exhibits, a horse parade, giveaways, and

just the right camping
experiences for your crew.

GUIDE TO SUMMER CAMPS

{ BY MARY JANE KINKADE }


o you have spring fever yet? I sure
do and the same goes for my kids,
which means its time to plan for
summer. June will be here before you
know it. With it comes the end of the
school year, vacation plans, beach days,
pool time, fun with friendsand summer
camp!
For some families, camp is a necessity.
For others, its a way to get the kids off the
couch, out of the house and into the sunshine. Whichever category you fall into,
theres no shortage of options for exploring
the outdoors, learning new things, meeting
new friendsand having fun.
Finding fun wont be a problem this
year, as camp directors seem to have added
an extra large dose of the stuff. Take a look
at the guide below and see for yourself.
Theres so much to choose from that your
child could go to a different camp each
week and still miss half of whats out there.

THE YMCA OF VINELAND


When it comes to summer camp in the
Vineland area, the YMCA has been at it the

Fun at the YMCA often involves outdoor


activities.
(ages 6-8); Mini Merrywood (8-10);
Merrywood (11-15).
The Y also offers specialty camps with
themes including Cruise Ship Week (new
this year); Game Show Week; Sports Week

and more. Kids will also spend time reading and participating in nature enrichment
and STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math) activities. A special CIT (Counselor in Training Program)
is available for its oldest campers, ages 1617.
Our camps are accredited by the prestigious American Camp Association and our
counselors all have at least 25 hours of
training, said Christine Ward-Garrison of
the YMCA. We offer a variety of programming at our facility in Vineland, plus a full
outdoor experience at our 80-acre Camp
Merrywood. Ward-Garrison also noted
that for the second year in a row, the
National Inclusion Project will be partnering with the YMCA to provide quality
camp programs for children with disabilities. Research shows that the National
Inclusion Projects Lets ALL Play model
helps children with disabilities improve
self-esteem, social skills and confidence. At
the same time, it helps children without
disabilities improve their leadership, problem solving and empathy skills.
Camp registration is now underway.
Information packets are available at the
Vineland Membership Service Desk and
online. Tuition is $150 or $155 (depending
on the camp) per week. Camp hours are 9
a.m. to 4 p.m., and early bird and extended
care is available. The Y also offers sibling
discounts and financial assistance to those
who qualify.

GOLDEN LEARNING SUMMER CAMP
A new addition to the areas camp lineup this year is Golden Learning Summer

Camp, located at the former site of Little


Acres Learning Center at Redeemer
Lutheran Church in Vineland. The camp
runs from July 6 to August 28 and offers
classes for children ages 3 through 14.
Campers will be split into four different
age groups. The two younger groups, ages
3-4 and 5-7, will have themed weeks, while
the two older groups, ages 8-10 and 11-14
will choose from more specialized classes.
Children may attend for five full days at
a cost of $150 per week, or for five half
days (mornings and afternoons available)
at $75 per week. Some classes will have an
additional lab fee and discounts are available for multiple children. Camp hours are
6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Before and after care
(6:30 a.m.-9 a.m. and 4 p.m.-5:30 p.m.) is
included for full-day campers and available
for a small fee to children attending halfday sessions. Campers will need to pack a
lunch, drink and two small snacks.
At the helm of Golden Learning
Summer Camp is Nancy Pollard, owner of
Golden Concierge Service, LLC. This
camp is an outgrowth of my concierge
business, said Pollard, and a way to build
upon my 25-year career in education.
Pollards staff is comprised of certified
teachers and professionals who work with
children daily in a school environment.
Campers can look forward to cooking with
professional chefs, playing golf, making
movies, surviving an apocalypse, and so
much more.
Over the years, Pollard has directed
multiple summer camps and knows the
importance of finding the right place for a
child to grow and learn while out of school

We will be offering a college-level
Introduction to Theater course in the mornings, says Vicki Simek, executive director,
CCC Workforce & Community Education.
In the afternoons, students will have the
opportunity to participate in an internship
where they can gain real-world experience
on campus or at a partner location. Students
may also have the opportunity to perform
community service. This is a great way for
teens to get ahead, as well as experience
what life is like on a college campus and in
the working world. The course and internship program will last the entire length of
the camp. As part of their internships students will receive mini-courses in work
readiness and college success, as well as

have the chance to tour local college campuses. By summers end, participants will
earn three college credits and be more prepared than ever for life after high school.
For campers ages 5 to 14, the Summer
Academy for Kids is ready to roll. Every
week has a theme and campers can choose
from morning and afternoon sessionsor
stay all day. There will be two choices for
each time frame. Some of the themes
include Master Chefs, Hour of Code, STEM
classes, Minecraft Modders, and Clay

Rocket Productions this year to offer highend technology classes, said Simek.
Tuition for most classes is $79. Some of
the premium classes (like the ones involving
Black Rocket Productions) cost $99, plus a
lab fee to cover the additional cost of supplies. Lab fees range from $20 to $29 for the
premium classes. CCCs camps run from
