Cara McCollum Is Mourned
Poetry in Motion
Poetry Out Loud regional champions from Vineland and Mainland high schools will
compete in state competition on March 17.
{ STORY AND PHOTOS BY MICKEY BRANDT }
Poetry Out Loud co-winner Kathryn Slusarczyk of Vineland High

School stands with her support team, lead teacher Vanessa
Rasmussen, left, and drama theater teacher Amy Munsick.
hen you are the whole play, you better

know your way around the stage. Under
the intensity of the Levoy Theatre spotlight last week, five high school students
took turns giving spirited and polished soliloquies of
their carefully selected and memorized poems in the
regional semi-finals of Poetry Out Loud National
Recitation Contest (POL). The display of skill in poem
selection and interpretation, pacing, enunciation, and
stage presence resonated in front of a demanding panel of
skilled judges and an appreciative audience of about 150.
Vineland High School (VHS) senior Kathryn (Kat)
Slusarczyk and Mainland Regional freshman Gianna
Robinson were crowned champions of New Jerseys
Region 2 (Cumberland, Cape May and Atlantic counties)
and will join two winners from each of the other five
regions at the state finals at The College of New Jersey on
March 17. The winner there goes to the nationals from May
2-4 in Washington, DC, where $50,000 in personal awards
and stipends to schools is given to the top finishers.
In addition to the two winners, performers Shantall
Castilla of Atlantic City High, Marian Palmer of Egg
Harbor Township, and Aniya Reese of Oakcrest also filled
the Millville theater with three rounds of the music of
poetry played by the hearts of poised young women. Each
won their schoolwide competition earlier this year.
A whole auditorium filled with cheering for poetry,
said New Jersey POL State Coordinator Kay Potucek.
You dont get to see that very often.
Slusarczyk picked two of her poems, Mr. Darcy by
Victoria Chang and Slant by Suji Kwock Kim, because
choosing Korean poets honored her mothers Korean
ead Anchor for SNJ Today News, Cara

McCollum, died Monday morning from
injuries sustained the evening of Monday,
February 15, in an automobile accident. She
was 24 years old.
The entire SNJ Today family extends its
condolences to the many loyal viewers, colleagues, friends and family of Cara McCollum,
Ken Pustizzi, president of the media company
said. Whether you had the privilege of knowing her or if you enjoyed her newscasts during
her all too brief time with us, you know that her
smile, determination and sincerity made her a
beloved individual.
McCollum joined SNJ Today last year and
was instrumental in the media companys
launch of its southern New Jersey-focused
weeknight newscast to the greater Delaware
Valley region.
She was a graduate of Princeton University
where she majored in journalism. She was
Miss New Jersey 2013 and competed for the
Miss America 2014 title in September 2013.
However, McCollum was known, according
to co-workers, for her professionalism and wit.
As lead anchor for the SNJ Today team,

MCCOLLUM
(Continued from cover)
McCollum played a key role in the editing
and production of the weeknight broadcast.
Sometimes you have that clichd idea
[of someone] going to Princeton and being
Miss New Jersey, but she goes against the
mold, said Mike Frankel, who covers
sports and news for the station. On the set,
he sat on McCollums right on what was
her first TV job.
Some co-workers visited her at the hospital last week, including the news director,
Megan Wolf, who stayed over one night.
Throughout the week, McCollums
boyfriend, Philadelphias NBC 10 news
anchor Keith Jones, posted several photos
of the couple and also asked for prayers all
last week.
WWW.GRAPEVINENEWSPAPER.COM |
the grapevine { 3 }
Cara needs your prayers NOW. She is in

critical condition at a Level 1 Trauma
Center in New Jersey, and the situation
couldnt be more serious, read one post
last Thursday afternoon. Cara is a strong,
determined young woman, but her life is in
Gods hands right now.
McCollum donated her organs to help
save other lives, according to a Facebook
page Prayers for Cara, created for sending prayers and sharing thoughts about
McCollum, as well as maintaining
updates on the status of her condition. It
had more than 7,500 members as of
Monday afternoon.
According to the FB page, Cara passed
away while her family was with her in the
operating room, and she died peacefully at
4:31 a.m.
Weve prayed constantly for a miracle,
and we believe God has answered our
prayers. Although its not the miracle that
we first envisioned, its a miracle,
nonetheless.
In the end, its not the years in your life
that count. Its the life in your years. Please
accept our sincerest thanks for your heartfelt prayers....
McCollum, of Margate, was the only
person in the car when it veered off the
road (Route 55 in Pittsgrove Township)
and struck a tree, then spun again and hit
two more trees before ending up in an
embankment, police said.

A native of Forrest City, Arkansas, she
was the valedictorian of the class of 2010 at
Forrest City High School.
I remember writing her recommendation letter, Abbie Robinson, former principal of the high school told The Press of
Atlantic City. I had to find so many ways
to say the word intelligent.
Robinson said McCollum had a passion
for reading that she shared with the community by starting a book club that is still
in place today.
Her pageant platform was Giving the
Gift of Reading, which promoted youth
literacy through her nonprofit organization The Birthday Book Project, an
organization that provides gift-wrapped
books to underprivileged children grades
K-5th for their birthdays.
During her year-long reign as Miss New
Jersey, McCollum was named New Jersey
Library Association Champion of the Year,
as well as a Daily Points of Light Winner
for her advocacy of youth literacy. Tracey
Hoover, CEO of Points of Light, also highlighted McCollums non-profit, The
Birthday Book Project, in an article that
she wrote for The Huffington Post.
Prior to her Princeton years, she had
never been in pageants. I did it on a
whim, she told The Tab, a Princeton webpage. I wanted to get out into the community, but I didnt have any connections.
Teachers wouldnt let some random person
come and read to their students, and so I
decided to compete in the local pageant. It
was called Miss Island Resort, which
sounds like a ridiculous Barbie thing.
Why Princeton for this Arkansas girl?
We packed up and rented a car, and
we started in Philadelphia and checked
out, you know, all the Ivy Leagues and we
went on a little road trip...On Princetons
campus, I just fell in love. It...was everything I had dreamed about and read
about, and it was a small town and I was
from a small town, so it seemed manageable. There were sweet potato fries in the
cafeteria, and I love sweet potato fries, so
I was sold immediately.
The very first writing class I took was
with John McPhee, and it was amazing,
McCollum told the Princeton Packet after
she was crowned Miss New Jersey and
decided to take a year off school to compete in the Miss America pageant.
Writing would be my dream job, and I
sometimes think about broadcast journalism as well.
Of the Miss America pageant, she later
told The Tab, I didnt place at all, but it
was an incredible experience.
Cara showed warmth to everyone she
met, said Pustizzi of SNJ Today. She was
a part of our news team family and we are
gratified to have worked with hereven for
such a short time. We will miss her terribly.
Our thoughts and prayers are especially
with her parents Rick and Maureen
McCollum, her brother Derick McCollum
and her boyfriend, Keith Jones, during
this difficult time. I

her childhood. Her third poem was
Much Madness is Divinest Sense by
Emily Dickenson. She had to compete on
crutches after injuring her foot in gym
class earlier this month. (See a full list of
the students poems in the box on page 7.)
When they announced my name, I
was genuinely shocked, Slusarczyk said.
But Im definitely excited to go to states.
Though Slusarczyk is active in theater
arts, she found the new performance
medium challenging. I definitely want to
have more experience on stage, though its
more nerve-wracking thinking about
being on a stage thats unfamiliar to me,
she explained.
She said she got good feedback from
event organizers and teachers for her
performance.
They told me they could tell I was
very comfortable with the poems, they
liked my choice to pick poems I had

The five school-level winners who competed in the regional semi-final tournament were,

Slusarczyk, Vineland High (co-winner).
connections to, and they thought my

natural tone of voice and clear diction fit
poetry very well, she said.
In addition to drama and theater,
Slusarczyk also competes on the
Academic Team and is field hockey manager, and vice-president of the National
Society.
Robinson is also an acting devotee with
other broad interests. Shes on the varsity
cheer team, rows crew, and performs
poetry for the school NJDFL team, made
up of comedians, musical pairs, and
improv actors. She is co-directing the
middle school play, Almost Anything Goes,
this year.
Im happy all my hard work paid off,
she said. I learned that I have more
maturity in poetry and acting than I
expected and also that my memory isnt
completely horrible.
Vanessa Rasmussen is lead teacher for
the VHS classroom POL competition. She

said Slusarczyk distinguished herself in
the competition with her clear focus on
the poems content and her unique, forthright voice. Her performances were less
like recitations than like conversations
with the audience.
This year marks the 11th year of
NJPOL and the second year the regionals
were held at the Levoy.
The students were a pleasure to work
with and were all so amazing, said
Andrew Rivenbark, the theaters house
manager. I enjoyed working with New
Jersey Poetry Out Loud and State Council
on the Arts. Programs like these are
much-needed in our schools and communities and the Levoy is happy to continue
hosting and supporting them.
Some were surprised only five high
schools were represented, but our threecounty region was only created last year

ast June, Treasury Secretary

Jacob J. Lew invited the public to
weigh in on which female historical figures image should grace
the new $10 bill, replacing the current picture of Alexander Hamilton. Several million responses later, the December 2015
decision has been delayed. So while we
wait, lets take a quick look at some of the
U.S. historical figures that have appeared
on our currency and examine how that
relates to the issue at hand.
According to online sources, after the
domination of silver certificates during the
19th and early 20th centuries, paper currency in this country settled on a largesized Federal Reserve Note in 1914. Only
three of the bills in this series contain an
image that matches our current ones:
Abraham Lincoln on the $5 note, Ulysses S.
Grant on the $50 note and Benjamin
Franklin on the $100 note. The $1 bill still
existed only as silver certificates and briefly
as Federal Bank Notes. The $10 bill displayed the image of Andrew Jackson, currently on our $20 note, and Grover
Cleveland on the double sawbuck.
Hamilton, the first U.S. Secretary of
Treasury, would not enter our currency
until four years later when he appeared on
the rather impressive $1,000 bill, which was
issued in the company of the $500 note
with the likeness of Supreme Court Justice
John Marshall, the $5,000 note with a picture of James Madison and a $10,000 note
that contained the image of Salmon P.
Chase, who served as Treasury Secretary
under Lincoln and introduced the countrys
first paper currency. A picture of Chase
adorned the first $1 note issued in 1863,
earning him the distinction of appearing on
both the lowest and highest of denominations in U.S. paper currency.
In 1928, small-sized Federal Reserve
Notes, the type we still use today, were
issued and additional changes made.
Hamiltons likeness was demoted to the $10
bill while Grover Clevelands image was
upgraded from the $20 note to the $1,000
bill. Marshall lost his spot on the $500 note
to William McKinley. And Andrew Jackson
earned his familiar place on the $20 bill.
The currency remained stable until
1946, when the higher denominations were
discontinued, leaving the images of

McKinley, Cleveland, Madison and Chase
without a home. The notes continued to
circulate, but in 1969 their use was ended.
By then, George Washingtons likeness had
appeared on the $1 Federal Reserve Note
and, during the countrys Bicentennial in
1976, the short-lived $2 bill appeared, carrying the image of Thomas Jefferson.
And that brings us to today and what
appears to be the end of Hamiltons time
on a $10 bill. Whoever will replace him,
however, will not be the first historic
female figure to appear on U.S. paper currency. In 1886 and 1891, the likeness of
Martha Washington replaced her husband
Georges image on a $1 silver certificate. In
1896, another silver certificate depicted
both of them.
Some contenders for a place on the
current $10 bill include Eleanor Roosevelt
and Rosa Parks as well as two figures that
have a connection with this region, Susan
B. Anthony and Harriet Tubman. Anthony
carried her fight for womens suffrage into
Vineland in 1868 and oral histories have
claimed that Tubman was involved with
the Greenwich station on the
Underground Railroad.
Lews invitation to the public to recommend Hamiltons replacement, however,
has recast the process into a question of
whether or not it should be the $10 bill that
is altered. According to a January 2016 New
York Times article, some have argued that
the $20 note is more numerous by far than
the $10 note, and the common currency of
the ubiquitous A.T.M. For a woman to be put
on the $10 note instead suggests women are
of lesser worth, some people complained.
But the article points out that the bigger
issue seems to be centered on the reputations of Hamilton and the seventh president
of the United States: Many respondents
asked: Why replace Hamilton, the first
Treasury Secretary and the architect of the
American financial system, rather than eject
Jackson from the $20 bill given his record
of violence against Native Americans and
opposition to national banking?
It will certainly be interesting to see
what decision is made. And it will probably
provoke several million more responses
once its announced. I

Tammy Tozer. Attending the event is one of the first official duties of our 4-H
Ambassadors, explains County 4-H Agent Julie Karavan.Its a great evening that
our 4-H staff, youth and volunteers look forward to each year. This is an opportunity to underscore how active our county is in agriculture. Its good for the next generation to see Cumberland County leaders like Secretary of Agriculture Douglas
Fisher serving in his role as a statewide leader.

evzat and Recep Ozbas have a

motto for their restaurant at
Chestnut and Brewster
avenues: Delicious Dishes
Bring Happiness. The brothers, who came
to this country with their father from
Turkey three decades ago, work together to
keep their customers happy. Three meals a
day, seven days a week, they serve a loyal
crowd.
We serve the best quality food, always
fresh and homemade, and different specials
each day, said Nevzat, head chef. I want
everyone to feel happy when they go.
They opened the Millville Queen Diner
on East Broad in 1995 and sold in 1998.
We grew up in Turkey but came to the
U.S. 30 years ago. For 20 years, I have
worked in restaurants, learning all kitchen
jobs, said Nevzat. I like being head chef
best. The diner, he said, is named for its
street address, and because chestnuts are
his favorite stuffing ingredient at
Thanksgiving.
What kinds of foods does he specialize
in? Italian dishes. I learned with Italian
chefs. Best quality. We do everything from
scratch.
Signature dishes are their soups; they
make three homemade soups daily, and people spoon them up. Seafood soup, tortellini
wedding soup, cream of crab and lentil and
barley are among the favorite warm-ups.
They serve breakfast all day, affordable
specials on the lunch and dinner entrees,
with coffee and fresh-baked pastries.
Our extensive menu has something for
everyone. If you dont like it, tell us. We will
make it right.
Friends Lucienne Smith and Kathy
Deola of Vineland came in with Betty Dixon
of Mays Landing, as they do every Thursday.
Sometimes, during holidays and school
breaks, they have 20 or so friends, children
and grandchildren meet at the Chestnut.
Their food is very good and theres a lot
of it, said Smith.
Dixon travels to Vineland every other
Thursday: My favorite food is creamed
chipped beef on toast and its really good
here!
We are proud to be in Vineland the last
three years, and we thank our customers
for supporting us, said Recep, who is a few
years younger than his brother, and has
worked as a baker and pastry chef. He
owns the diner with Nezvat, and owns a
painting and construction company near
his home in Blackwood. Recep has four

children, Nezvat has three.
Here in East Vineland we do it better
than anyone, said Recep. Our chef is
always cooking something fresh, and our
specials on the board are different every
dayand we change them for each meal!
Lauretta Jones says she loves working
here as a waitress. I come here from
Haddonfield every day because I like the
owners, especially Nev. I worked for him
for years when he was the chef at The
Corner Bistro in Haddonfield. The brothers
are congenial and kind, and I love my job.
Everyone loves the homemade soup, she
said, in addition to the specials.
Allan and Pat Bernardini of Vineland sat
in a booth at the diner one recent morning,
both retired and enjoying breakfast.
We come here often. We like it a lot,
said Allan, finishing up a dish of scrambled
eggs, Italian sausage and home fries. The
waffles here are great, too. Crisp, not soggy,
and delicious.
Pat, who loves the service, the waitresses
and the good food, had French toast for
breakfast: We also come here to meet
friends. We know two-thirds of the people
here when we come in.
The Bernardinis have eaten at many
restaurants since they met while cruising
Landis Avenue 60 years ago. He was driving his friends up and down the avenue as
were hundreds of other teens, and she was
in a car with her friends. They stopped to
eat when they wanted to talk. Theyve been
together ever since.
In the old days, we had Luccis Diner,
and for late nights, The Spot. And there
was Joes Diner, which was similar to this,
Allan said, indicating the Chestnut dcor.
Its classy, with a hometown feel. I

oms dining room set had a tall

china cabinet that we kids called
the China Closet, in which
were stowed all of Moms special china sets
and specialty serving dishes. It was always
locked. The little iron scrolled key was kept
on the top of the cabinet and it was a constant curiosity to me. Mom even still had
the tiny ceramic bride and groom topper to
her wedding cake in there, as well as special
serving bowls and dishes to be taken out
only on holidays and only by her. Whenever
I was alone I would pull up a chair and get
the key and open up the cabinet and explore
the great treasure trove of silverware and
dishes and I would touch everything.
Somehow she always knew! She would
say Jeanie, did you open the china closet?"
I dont remember my answers but Im sure
they were inventive.
This cabinet became my obsession and
when I got older and started cooking for
the family. I wanted to use various serving
platters and silverware from the cabinet
and mom would always say no. One day I
got the brilliant idea to say to her, Mom,
the day after you die, I am going to feed the
dog out of one of those bowls.
Well, that did the trick! After that, she
didnt say a word when I used anything out
of the china closet. I developed a theory
that things serve us and not the other
way around. So what if I break something?
As long as it gave me the enjoyment while
it lasted, that was its main purpose. I even
cut one of her draperies in half to fit in my
windows at my current house. It was traumatic, but the same thought came to me
this item is here to serve me and I am not
the server of it. A great philosophy, but not
one to wildly impose. I think we should
keep some things for special occasions,
especially if it is one-of-a-kind.
Just the other day, I had to pick up
something for my boss at Diamonds &
DesignThe Maria Collection at Main
and Landis in Vineland and while I was
there I was dazzled by a selection of serving platters by Mud Pie Creations. It
brought back all of my memories of that
treasure trove that Mom had, and Ive just
got to have a few of these pieces. I fell in
love with the Acorn pattern and especially
the cheeseboards. This could be my start
of a great collection.
Here is a great little recipe for a salad,
worthy of a great serving platter.

Paul Doe was a pretty colorful guy. He

wasnt afraid to share his opinions and, quite
frankly, he didnt care if you agreed with him.
He wasnt afraid to cause a stir with his printed commentary; in fact he relished doing so.
This independent spirit was fostered from
being born and raised in post-WWII Detroit.
It was a blue-collar town and Paul was kind of
a blue-collar guy, despite spending much of his
career wearing a suit and tie, which he hated.
Speaking of Pauls career in the fourth
estate, he once told me that he got into the
journalism thing almost by accident while
serving in the Navy from 1962 to 1967. Im
guessing it was because of all the great stories
he could tell about his experiences serving
aboard the USS Boxer and at each of the ships
ports of call. Paul was quite a storyteller, and
that is the calling card of a good journalist.
So after his stint in the Navy, Paul went to
Wayne State University in Detroit and
majored in journalism.
He cut his teeth in the newspaper business
as a copy boy for the Detroit News in 1968.
He rose through the newsroom over the
next 15 years or so, eventually serving as
Night Editor. Paul loved telling stories about
his experiences as a newspaperman. One of
his jobs at the Detroit News was serving as a
sports and lifestyle editor. This assignment
brought him up close to a number of celebrities and even landed him at a lunch with
Sonny and Cher, who at that time were
enjoying the height of the popularity of their
TV show. Paul also loved to talk about getting to know Joe Frazier and what a really
nice man the former boxing champion was.
The Evening News Association, which
was the parent company of the Detroit News,
also owned the Vineland Times Journal and
the Millville Daily News. So after moving up
through the ranks at the Detroit News, Paul
was given a promotion that would involve
relocating to New Jersey in 1984. In a column he wrote a year ago, Paul said that he
was down here, like the Gilligans Island
peoplefor a three-year tour as the executive editor of Times Graphics.
I dont know if he thought at the time that
he would stay with the Evening News
Association and move elsewhere to keep
advancing his career, but I do know that Paul
really took to the Vineland area. In 1986,
word came down that Gannett was buying
the Evening News Association. Paul left
Gannett nine months later.
He didnt move back to Detroit or find
another job at a big daily newspaper. Instead,
he started his own weekly newspaper, the
Cumberland News. And a staple of that newspaper was Pauls own column, Does and Donts.
Well, the people of this area loved Pauls newspaper and they loved Pauls column. So did I.
Not long after Paul started the paper, I graduated from college with my journalism degree and
my mom said I should apply for a job with Paul.

They were in a running group together and Id
met him a few times when my mom had the
group over for pasta dinners on nights before
long-distance races.
Sure enough, Paul gave me a shot as a freelance writer and soon after hired me to sell
advertising while writing and editing as many
articles as I could juggle between sales calls.
I learned a lot from Paul in the short time I
spent working for him. It was an apprenticeship in the newspaper business, really. And I
got the bug for community journalism in the
process. I thought Paul had the greatest job
you could wish for. Everyone loved his paper
and he was always getting telephone calls and
visits from people who wanted to give him the
inside scoop on this story or that. They might
have been among the whos who in town or
your average Joe. Paul treated them all with
the same respect. Hed make deals with a firm
handshake and he expected that to mean as
much for the other party as it did to him. That
didnt always work out so well, but that was a
small price for Paul to pay in order to avoid
lawyers and contracts and such.
From that point on, I thought that I
would love to make a career out of running
my own hometown newspaper. Later in my
career, Paul and I talked about thatand we
even planned to go into partnership together.
Well, that deal never came to fruition and
years later Paul retired and the Cumberland
News just faded away into that good night.
In 2007, I dusted off the business plan I had
worked on with Paul and I began to update
it. Without the Cumberland News, I thought
there was a void in my hometown for a good
community weekly newspaper. I got a business
loan and started The Grapevine in 2008, almost
20 years after Paul had done the same thing.
Much of the inspiration for The Grapevine
was based on the features Paul had made popular in the Cumberland News. I was a stubborn newspaper guy like Paul was, so I didnt
seek out his advice or contributions for the
first year or so and he wasnt going to come
around without being asked. But eventually we
started getting together and soon revived his
Does and Donts column in The Grapevine.
Readers were thrilled. His column was
the most popular item in The Grapevine. Paul
got to express his opinions and I always
promised him that he had free reign to write
whatever he wanted and that Id never censor him. Sure, there were times he wrote
about things with which I didnt agree and
wed talk about it. Sometimes hed change
what he wrote and sometimes hed want to
keep it the way hed submitted it. Truth is,
agree or disagree, Paul and I both shared the
desire to get people thinking. And I liked to
stir it up as much as Paul did.
Oh yes, I heard about it from people in
town who didnt like what Paul wrote about
Paul J. Doe: 19432016
them from time to time. But Id always tell

them that, as a columnist, Paul had a right to
express his opinions. He once wrote in one of
his columns that, The difference now [for me]
as a writer is that since Im not writing news
stories, I dont have to present both sides.
The whole idea of a column is that what you
get is my side. Its not always right and maybe
its not always pretty, but its always mine and
thats my story and Im sticking to it.
God bless him.
I think one of the reasons Pauls columns
were so popular is how unpretentious they
were. He wrote the way he lived his life. He
liked to consider himself a simple guy. He
wrote and lived in a very straightforward manner. He was brutally honest. His sentences
were short. He didnt use big words. He didnt
have to. His sense of humor and his ability to
connect with our readers were the envy of
many writers far and wide. He could hook you
with his first sentence, carry you through the
column with an easy conversational tone,
and wrap it all up at the end with a witty or
insightful conclusion that would leave the
reader smiling and get them thinking.
Sometimes I find myself writing a column
or article and Im really impressing myself
with my flowery language and big vocabulary
words. Then I think of Pauls writing style
and how much more effective it is to just
write in simple terms that 95 percent of the
readers will relate to.
Paul once wrote in a column in The
Grapevine, Every once in a while I think Ive
got it all figured out and then something will
happen that will remind me that Im as dumb
as I ever was. Okay, maybe not dumb, but certainly not nearly as smart as I think I am.
Well, Paul was a pretty smart guy. Since
hed been through everything I went through
in running a weekly newspaper, his advice was
invaluable to me. Sometimes it wasnt even
advice I needed, but someone to listen who
really knew what I was dealing with. I dont
think I ever told Paul that I considered him to
be my mentor, but Im pretty sure he knew. He
wasnt just coming around the office for the
free coffee. He loved the business and he loved
helping people. And he helped me more than
he ever knew. He gave me my start and he
picked me up along the way many times.
These are just a few of my memories of
Paul. To paraphrase that earlier quote, my
Paul memories were not always pretty, but
theyll always be mine and thats my story
and Im sticking to it. I
