day she graduated from Vineland High School with honors.

sia Browns life has not gone as she planned.


At 18 years old, she has a child. Her new role as
a mother made her think she could be independent, so she and her daughter voluntarily
moved from home. The move was unsuccessful, and
Brown ended up in a homeless shelter. I spent
Christmas [at the homeless shelter] it wasnumbing,
she says. It was just numbing.
Eventually, Brown gave in to her familys plea and
moved back home. But despite the pressure and anxiety
of being a teen parent, Brown always has a smile on her
face. Looking at her daughter Aaliyah, who has refused to
take off her tiara since her first birthday just a few days
ago, Brown says, Shes everything, shes my mini me.
Aaliyah is munching on Froot Loops and playing peeka-boo with her mom. She wobbles around and slumps
onto a couch in the IMPACT Parent Linking Programs
(PLP) childcare center, indifferent that this is a classroom
and not a living room. Brown and her daughter seem to
be more than comfortable here.
It was very nice coming [to PLP], Brown says. They

Bart Brigidi has


spearheaded a campaign to raise funds
for a severely handicapped young lady to
help pay for her huge
medical bills and purchase a handicapped
accessible van. Her
name is Zyasia
Lovey Guzman and
she lives with her family in Vineland. Brigidi got involved with Lovey through his
daughter, LeAnne DiAntonio, who is a social worker with the Vineland school system where Christine Guzman, Loveys mom, also works.
Well, the van has arrived. They were not able to achieve their goal to pay for the
van outright (more donations are welcome), but were able to secure a loan to be
able to get the much needed van to her now. Lovey and her mom were overjoyed
and very excited.
Theres a video on YouTube showing Loveys daily struggles. Go to youtube.com
and search Love for Lovey to view it. Your tax-deductible donation can help pay
off the loan; it can be mailed directly to Capital Bank of NJ, PO Box 690, Vineland,
NJ 08362. Make checks payable to LOVE 4 LOVEY CORP. or donate online at
gofundme.com/support-for-lovey. A Facebook page has photos and updates.
All involved thank those who have helped out so far.

area during daytime work might be


necessary.
At this time, the evacuations are only
being instituted on an as needed basis for
safety, and only after the Unified
Command assesses how much ammonia is
left, said Elias Rodriguez, a public information officer for EPA, in an email last
Wednesday.
The command consists of EPA; N.J.
Department of Environmental Protection
(DEP); Vineland Health, Police, Fire, and
Emergency Management departments,
and the freezer company owner, Mark
DiMeo, according to Dwayne Harrington,
EPAs on-site coordinator.
There have been ammonia leaks at
South Jersey Ice in the past, according to
a former high municipal government official who requested anonymity and confirmed by Vineland Fire Chief Robert
Pagnini. There was nothing like this,
(though) Pagnini said.
DiMeo declined comment.
The attorney for South Jersey Ice,
Jeffrey DiLazzero, said, I am not aware
of any leaks at this property in the past.
He maintained that there was never a
danger to public safety in the last several
weeks and that no evacuations were necessary. He termed the fire department and

(seated) and Terrance McManus rest briefly
during the protracted extraction of ammonia
from the ice house.
Emergency removal of hazardous anhydrous ammonia from South Jersey Ice and
Cold Storage was compromised by the
deteriorating state of the refrigeration
equipment, according to EPA.

EPA actions a misjudgment. and challenged the decision-making that led to the
high-profile situation.
Events in the emergency began on June
23, when fire inspectors got permission to
check the building for a structural issue in
the foundation.
The owner came to the city with concerns and we went in to examine it,
Pagnini said.
According to EPA, it was called in by
the fire department because the department was concerned about the deterio-

rating state of the ammonia refrigeration


system.
We werent surprised, said Pagnini.
EPA put up air monitors and installed a
scrubber to begin draining ammonia.
The first evacuation was on July 9, but
lasted only a day when EPA quickly determined more treacherous work was needed. On July 20 and 21, a Hazmat tanker
truck off-loaded thousands of pounds of
ammonia in a volatile state. With that,
EPA announced the emergency was over
and everyone came home.

But, on July 26, another daytime evacuation was ordered for unanticipated, and
generally unexplained, cleanup work.
Somethings been going on over
there, said a 32-year resident of the 500
block of Pear Street, facing the rear of the
icehouse, as it has been known in
Vineland since 1922.
Asking to be identified only as Rosa,
she added, I smell the ammonia sometimes, but they dont tell me anything,
they just tell me to get out.
Other residents also described unusual
odors, and some claimed detrimental

health effects associated with the plant.


Anhydrous ammonia is a colorless,
toxic gas and liquid with a pungent and
suffocating smell, according to the EPA. It
is still used in some industrial refrigeration, but it is an old technology and most
sites now use Freon, according to Pagnini.
To the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), it presents both chemical and explosive dangers. Short-term
exposure can produce eye, nose and throat
irritation, respiratory and gastrointestinal
tract irritation, and burns, blisters, and
frostbite. Repeated exposure can cause
blindness and internal bleeding. At high
concentrations, exposure can be fatal.
A large portion of the hazardous

material has been removed. At press time,


there was continuing ventilation of the
building to accelerate ice melt on the
refrigerator coils, which facilitates the
drawdown of any remaining ammonia,
according to Rodriguez.
EPA is working hard to minimize the
disruptions as we seek to protect peoples
health, Rodriguez said in an e-mail. We
are working diligently to help people with
the various challenges that the evacuations present and are committed to continue to work with the community.
Thirty-one persons living in seven
dwellings directly adjacent to the plant
received mandatory orders to leave their
homes as soon as their peril became evident. They were housed in motels at government expense and given a daily
allowance for what was supposed to be
two days.
As a result of the changing conditions
in the extraction, this relocation was suddenly extended indefinitely and an

unknown number were moved to other


motels, some more than 30 miles away,
and they didnt return for two weeks.
A wider area of about 90 dwellings units
and, based on benchmarks, an estimated
350 to 450 people were told to find a place
to stay and to make provisions for their
pets from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on the days of
especially hazardous removal work. So far,
that has happened three times. (The EPA
estimate was 150-200 people.)
Northeast Boulevard, Park Avenue,
Seventh Street and Plum Street bound the
exclusion area.
The Grapevine observed that most of
the residents, especially those with children, spent the relocation days with family
members outside the zone. with some
going to the emergency shelter established at Wallace Middle School on North
Mill Road. A few defied the mandatory
evacuation and stayed in their homes. The
area is heavily Hispanic and working
class, and encompasses Parkview, a
Vineland Housing Authority 25-unit lowincome apartment complex.
While the evacuations were termed
mandatory, both Rodriguez and Pagnini
stressed that people wanting to stay
behind were permitted to do so, although
this option was not widely understood by
the residents.
You cant take people out of their
homes, Pagnini said. A persons home is
their castle.

The Grapevine spent several days


around the neighborhood and the Wallace
shelter, gathering stories from the evacuees.
Here are some of them.
Maria Soto lives in Parkview. She also
lives with cancer. On the day we observed
evacuation, she put her two grandchildren
(who were visiting from Florida) in care of
her daughter, Kianna Gonzalez, 15, to
board the school bus to the Wallace shelter and she joined them after a scheduled
chemotherapy treatment for her illness.
Soto implicates the plant across the street
for not only her own health decline, but
that of others she knows. She also had
harsh words for the housing authority.
If you pay a dollar late, they send you
letters, but they sent me nothing on this,
she said.
The Housing Authority did not return
phone calls seeking comment.
Soto gave qualified credit to the EPA
and health department for her relocation
assistance.
Theyre helping us a lot, dont get me
wrong, I appreciate it, but I dont think
theyre telling us the real truth. If it wasnt
that bad, why do they take us out? she
asked.
Betty Coombs, one of the 31 long-term
evacuees, lives at Sixth and Peach, about
150 feet from the plant. She is guardian of
four grandchildren, ages 8 to 13, and they
were facing the most recent 8 a.m. to .

Fighting Lung Cancer Together


Screening Diagnosis
Treatment Supportive
and Recovery Care
According to the New Jersey
Department of Health, lung
cancer kills more than 4,000
Garden State residents every
year. Up to 90 percent of these
deaths are attributable to
cigarette smoking.
For this reason, AMI/AtlantiCare
in the Hammonton Health Park
is urging long-time smokers
between age 55 and 77 to
get screened for lung cancer.
Screening is done via low-dose
CT scan. The test is covered by
Medicare, as well as by most
private insurance plans.

LUNG CANCER
If all of the following criteria apply
to you, contact AMI/AtlantiCare
today to schedule a lung
cancer screening*:
Youre between the ages
of 55 and 77
You dont have signs or
symptoms of lung cancer
Youve smoked at least one
pack of cigarettes a day for
30 years or at least two packs
a day for 15 years
You currently smoke or you
quit within the past 15 years

The citys iconic icehouse also may not


survive.
Attorney DiLazzero said, This was
unnecessary; the whole thing didnt have to
go down in the way it did and now, most
likely, well have to go out of business. We
cant even make ice any more because they
drained our brine tanks.
What will come at the cleanup and what
will become of Rosa and her neighbors?
The Health Department has told the
residents that, should there be a chance of a
gas leak, they may have to temporarily relocate for a day as they have been doing until
the cleanup has been completed, said
Emma Lopez, a health educator there, in a
voice mail left with The Grapevine. Theyve
also been told to be alert just in case there is
a gas leak, so they can shelter in place during the leak. (This involves closing all
doors and windows, turning off air conditioning and remaining inside, a tall order
during the heat waves of summer.)
Rodriquez said in an e-mail, EPAs constant real-time air monitoring is still ongoing. Detection results of the ambient air
show no concerns for the community.
Pagnini said, Well never know what
could have happened, but its fortunate that
it didnt.
Sheena Santiago is a former two-term
Vineland City Council member and community activist who canvassed the neighborhood and visited the shelter to help the
residents report their concerns and protect
their rights. The self-described Hispanic
Erin Brockovich provided what might be
the last word on the crisis.
This story is never going to end, she
said. I

5 p.m. evacuation order last Wednesday


when we met her. She was agitated as she
spoke on the phone to EPAs Pat Suppi, a
community liaison and media officer.
I dont have family to stay with, theyve
all passed away, she later said. Im right
in the crossfire, right across the street.
They have to put me in a hotel again;
nobody could tolerate us in the shelter. Im
about to get a lawyer and call the news helicopters and blow this whole thing up.
EPA does not discuss its casework to
protect the privacy of the individuals
involved.
Tomasita Vargas, 65, lives next to
Coombs. Her right leg was amputated at
the knee in 2011 and she uses a wheelchair.
During the two-week around-the-clock
evacuation, she said she was grateful for
the air-conditioning in her motels but
missed being home.
For the most recent evacuation, EPA
transferred her to the N.J. Veterans
Home and when we called her, she was
comfortable.
Its very good here, she said.
Evacuees at Wallace School also had
their opinionsboth complimentary and
not soabout how they were provided for.
It sucks that I cant be home, said
Jorge Carabello, 20, a student at
Cumberland County College. It was quick,
my aunt pulled me out of bed this morning
and said we had to leave.
His cousin, Amaya Rivera, 11, appreciated the meals and snacks provided by the
Salvation Army, but noted, Its freezing in
there. (The two were outside seeking,
strangely, the 92-degree heat as relief from
the cold.)
Throughout the relocations, EPA consistently reminded everyone that public
health and safety were its overriding concerns and asked that people bear the inconvenience.
Despite the coordinated efforts of the
Unified Command, residents wanted more
than food, water, shelter and a ride. They
wanted empathy about being thrust out of
their homes and a better estimate of if, when
and how they may have to leave again. They
wanted guidance about how best to protect
their children and reassurance that the
disaster was temporary. Most of all, they
needed to know if their homes were safe
and that no one would get sick or die.
Rosa, who stayed with family during the
daytime relocations, said the plant is an
eyesore and a dinosaur.
Why wasnt it moved to the Industrial
Park? she asked. If its no good, it should
be closed, Im praying for that. Im tired of
this, I just want to be comfortable in my
own home.
Her unhappiness boiled over when she
also claimed trucks from the plant repeatedly crashed into her prized red maple tree.
Theyve almost killed it, she said.

Pedro Medina,
74, is another
resident who
thinks he was
sickened. He
has lived on
Seventh Street,
a block from
the icehouse,
for 18 years.
He and his
wife, Nereida,
73, claim ammonia fumes caused a
cancerous melanoma on his arm.
His doctor told him it was from
something hes been breathing,
said Nereida Medina.
A public health expert involved in
the operations noted that no medical complaints have ever been filed
with the citys health department.
It could be a case of now that
this is happening, all of a sudden,
Im sick, you know how that works,
the source said.
The CDC says that links between
anhydrous ammonia and cancer
have not been established.

I News in Brief
Public Hearings Set Regarding
Phone and Internet Service
For the thousands of New Jerseyans
who depend on their home phone for medical monitoring, home security, and in case
of emergency, landline service is essential
to their safety and well-being.
But due to aging copper landlines in
South Jersey, many residents now experience poor quality phone service, not to
mention a lack of high-speed Internet.
The Board of Public Utilities (BPU) has
scheduled public hearings so Verizon can

hear directly from New Jersey residents


like you.
Make your voice heard. Attend a public
hearing on Thursday, August 4, either
3:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. at the Estell Manor
Elementary School, located at 128 Cape
May Ave, Estell Manor, NJ 08319
The County along with Hopewell
Township and dozens of other communities have led the fight to get the State BPU
to protect residents and make Verizon
maintain and repair its copper lines and/or
install FIOS service for all areas, businesses, farmers and residents.
Share news of this public hearing with
residents, businesses, farmers, others in
your municipalities.

The first woman to run for U.S. president was Victoria


Woodhull, a frequent visitor to Vineland in its early years.

ast weeks nomination of Hillary


Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee is an historical
landmark, since she is the first
woman of a major political party to run
for the highest office in the land. But she
is not the first female presidential candidate. The first woman to run for U.S. president was Victoria Woodhull, the spiritualist who championed womens suffrage
and free love and became a frequent visitor to Vineland in its early years.
Woodhulls candidacy began with a letter to the New York Herald on April 2,
1870, in which she announced her intentions. At Apollo Hall in New York City on
May 10, 1872, she received the nomination
of the newly created Equal Rights Party.
According to Jill Lepores recent New
Yorker article The Woman Card, the rise
of new political parties like the one
endorsing Woodhull was the result of the
inability of the Whigs and Democrats to
address the question of slaveryFuelled by
antislavery arguments, and adopting the
style of moral suasion favored by female
reformers, these [new] parties tended to
be welcoming to women, and even to
arguments for womens rights. Lepore
points out that the Republican Party,
formed in 1854, had been created in
Wisconsin by those opposed to the addition of two new slave states.
According to a 1998 New York Times
article The Happy Medium, by Richard
Brookhiser, Woodhull would run for
President, with the support of spiritualists, workers and women. It was a doubly
visionary announcement, since women
could not vote in any state in the Union,
and in any case Victoria was below the
constitutional age requirement, though
that did not prevent her signing autographs as Future Presidentess.
Woodhull would not turn 35, the mandated age for a presidential candidate,
until September 1873, but online sources
report that newspaper coverage of the
1872 election did not see that as a significant factor. Even though women were not
able to vote at the time, the emergence of
a movement known as the New Departure
gave them hope by inspiring them to cast
votes at polling centers despite the laws to
the contrary. Vineland had been one of the
first towns to witness this movement in
1868 when 172 women cast votes that

were not counted. In many places, females


attempting to vote were arrested.
Woodhull had campaigned for womens
suffrage and went so far as to confront the
government with her reasoning.
According to Lepores article, Woodhull
announced that women already had the
right to vote, under the privileges-andimmunities clause of the Constitution,
and, in 1871, she made this argument
before the House Judiciary Committee
[but] the Supreme Court ruled against
Woodhulls interpretation of the
Constitution.
Woodhulls candidacy, however, was
tainted with her arrest on October 28,
1872. Only days before the election, her
publication, Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly,
printed an article about the indiscretions
of Henry Ward Beecher, a New York
Protestant minister and, while it captured
the publics interest (Brookhiser reports
that before the end of the week the issue
had been reprinted and was selling for
$40), it resulted in her arrest on obscenity charges.
The assessment of the New York Times
article concludes that Woodhulls scoop
hurt only her, not Beecher. She spent the
next few months in and out of jail on a
variety of trumped-up obscenity charges
brought by the rising vice crusader
Anthony Comstock.
One of the consequences of her arrest
was that Woodhull was unable to vote in
the election since she was in jail at the
time. But it didnt make much difference.
Brookhiser writes that Woodhullss presidential campaign, meanwhile, had faded,
adding that neither of her biographers,
Barbara Goldsmith or Mary Gabriel, says
precisely how many write-in votes she got,
but presumably there were only a handful. Lepore reports that not even womens
suffrage leader Susan B. Anthony voted for
Woodhull in 1872, maintaining instead her
support for the Republican ticket.
Sources report that Woodhull was
finally acquitted on a technicality and left
to put her life back in order. She would
seek nominations as a presidential candidate again in 1884 and 1892, saying that
she was destined to achieve that office,
but it never came to pass. However, her
attempts helped open enough political
doors to inspire the changes that have
come about over a century later. I

Downtown
Mini-Parks

Atlantic County

4-H Fair
August 11 12 13
Growing Up Strong With 4-H

They honor the heritage of our town and restore


the traditions.

I also found early plans for making that


area a destination for events and gatheringsan amphitheater in Torpedo Park,
enlargement of the parks, and an open-air
market in the two parks west of the
Boulevard.
A lot more history is in the file, but
bringing this back to the present, the
Fitness and Film events at the mini-parks
bring these focal points back to what our
city leaders earlier envisioned: a town
square concept was the way the plan was
framed in a 1993 document in the file. We
have had Clean-Up and Planting Days at
the mini-parks in the spring and fall for
several years, as well as other related projects, but Fitness and Film, as well as other
projects, are designed to take the miniparks to the next levelworthy of the
efforts of our earlier city leaders and honoring the heritage of Vice-Admiral
Beakley.

ur Fourth Friday Fitness and


Film event at the downtown
mini-parks on July 22 brought
over 100 peoplesome to take
part in the fitness program and many to
see our showing of Jurassic World. It was
great to have such a tremendous response
to this program and also it was a true
pleasure to see the mini-park filled with
people having fun on a summer Friday
night. It is what this focal point of our
downtown should be and what it was
meant to be.
I came across a thick file in my office
with paperwork that chronicles the birth
and development of the four mini-parks.
Its a history that dates back to the early
1990s when bids were originally put out
for redevelopment of the four corners of
Landis Avenue and the Boulevarddemolition of some of the existing buildings and
the subsequent landscaping. Construction
took place in 1995 on what became known
as Arminava Park, Lucina Park, Torpedo
Park, and Artillery Park.
The four parks were collectively
renamed by City Council in 2000 the
Vice Admiral Wallace M. Beakley
Square, with a memorial to Vice-Admiral
Beakley dedicated on the Arminava quadrant of the square. Who was this man to
whom this area was dedicated? The story,
which may be unknown to many, is fascinating.
He was born in Vineland in 1903 and
educated here. He then entered the
Annapolis Naval Academy and led a distinguished naval career spanning 43 years
and two wars, earning the rank of a
Three-Star Vice-Admiral. On one daring
mission, he stayed afloat for four hours
after an enemy torpedo downed his aircraft carrier and 900 shipmates. Another
time, he logged a record of more than 11
hours airborne in an aerial dogfight.
Among his honors and accomplishments
were the Presidential Distinguished
Service Medal, as well as decorations by
leaders of several countries abroad.
Delving deeper into the mini-park file,

The Innovative Model for Preschool and
Community Teamings (IMPACT) PLP is a
unique program for pregnant or parenting
students at Vineland High School. Almost
20 years ago, in 1997, Inspira Health
Network and the Vineland Board of
Education collaborated to establish PLP, a
reaction to the high teen pregnancy rate in
the city. The program is still vital today.
Cumberland County has the highest
teen pregnancy rate in the state of New
Jersey. According to the 2016 County
Health Rankings and Roadmaps, a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation and the University of
Wisconsin Population Health Institute,
Cumberland County has a teen pregnancy
rate of 59 for every 1,000 young women
between the ages of 15 and 19. This is the
same rate of adolescent pregnancies that
the World Bank estimates the entire world
averaged 18 years ago. And, it is triple the
state of New Jerseys current average.
Teen pregnancy is categorized as a
health behavior, meaning that its existence

Eleven years ago, I was


in their shoes. I know what
[being a teen mom] is like.
Every step they are going
through, I went through.
Stephanie Lang
is shaped by culture, family life, and the
socio-economic makeup of the community.
Lowering the teen pregnancy rate may be
difficult, but PLP is being proactive to mitigate its effects. The program provides
childcare and parenting classes so young
parents can graduate from high school. On
average, only 40 percent of teen moms will
finish high school, according to research
done by the National Campaign to Prevent
Teen and Unplanned Pregnancies.
Executive Director of IMPACT Kimberly
Friddel notes that at PLP that statistic does
not hold up; this year 100 percent of PLPs
participating seniors graduated. Of those 14
seniors, 12 are heading on to higher education. A total of 42 students took part in the
program this year (six were males).
PLP has been an important part of
Browns support system. When Brown spent
time in a shelter, it went unnoticed by many
of her friends. A lot of people did not know
that I was in a shelter, she says, so when I
would say [after school], OK, I am going
home, I was not actually going home.
At PLP, Stephanie Lang and Talliba
Bentley-Fonville, are like Browns second
family, so they knew something was up

Teen mom Asia Brown, of Vineland, and


daughter Aaliyah, 1, at IMPACTs Parent
Linking Program (PLP) facilities.

when Brown was not living at home anymore. Mrs. Bentley and Mrs. Stephanie
actually noticed a difference in me about
two to three months [after] I came into the
program, Brown says. I was a lot quieter,
and I have a big personality, so if I am
quiet usually something is wrong. I would
talk with them; they helped me out a lot.
Lang and Bentley-Fonville were also
teen mothers. IMPACT gave them the
opportunity to eventually become the
support system they needed when they
found out they were pregnant.
Eleven years ago, I was in their shoes,
Lang says. I know what [being a teen
mom] is like. Every step they are going
through, I went through, from their
thoughts and feelings, to deciding if they
are ready for a baby, weighing their options
for abortion and adoption, and then telling
their parents when they decide to keep the
baby. [I know what it is like] to be scared to
tell your parents, and how it is to deal with
their disappointment. The whole process, it
is like I am reliving it, and that is what
gives Talliba and me an advantage. The
girls take you more seriously because they
know you know what it is really like.
This personal relationship that PLPs
staff forms with the women and men in
their program is one of the many reasons
IMPACTs PLP is the best in the statein
fact, the only one of its kindin New
Jersey. While many high schools offer parenting classes and some may offer health
care, IMPACTs PLP goes above and
beyond state requirements. Thanks to a
grant by the New Jersey Department of
Children and Families, PLP is able to offer
free childcare. In order to receive the
childcare, one of the parents, mom or dad,
must attend 80 percent of the parenting
classes that are taught for academic credit,
maintain a C average, and not have a
repeat pregnancystipulations that most
teen parenting programs in New Jersey do
not have. Going beyond what the State
requires is something that Executive
Director Friddel is proud of. The State
requires 30 group meetings a year, [meeting] once a week, she says. So we, in just
a month-and-a-half, meet the grant level of

especially from Stephanie whos a teen


mom herself. Its good to have people who
dont judge you.
Having the IMPACT community has
helped Lopez to continue to succeed. She
will be pursuing an undergraduate Biology
degree at Rowan University this fall.
Without the IMPACT program, it is
possible that many young women and men
who were in the program would not be as
educated as they are today, a fact that
Fordham University Professor of
Economics Dr. Kristine Angela Kintanar
says could further inhibit economic
growth in Cumberland County.
Economic growth is a function of labor
and capital, Kintanar says. However, the
quality of labor is also important, and that
is why investment in human capital is
always an important determinant of rapid
economic growth A high [teen] pregnancy rate may contribute to the economic
stagnation of the community, since it may
take people away from educational and
professional opportunities.
Supporting programs like IMPACT
ensures that more of the labor force is educated, Fridell says. When you drop out of
high school, it is more difficult to become
employed, she says, and you become part of
the system that the taxpayers as a whole are
paying into to support their fellow person.
Lopezs success story may make it seem
as if raising a child and trying to graduate
high school is easy, but she is aware that
she is not the norm. Just because I have a
4.1 GPAand Im a teen mom doesn't mean
its easy for me, Lopez notes. I have a lot
of help, but not everyone has a lot of help.
Unlike Lopezs seemingly successful
ride through high school, Asia Brown has
had to take a less conventional path to a
high school diploma. Brown dropped out
of Vineland High School in March to
meet the financial burdens of raising a
child, but she is still determined to earn
her high school diploma. Brown studies
and works at the Vineland Youth Corps
and is planning on graduating at the end
of this year. Lang, Bentley-Fonville, and
the rest of the IMPACT team are guiding
Brown through and making sure that she
does not become another Cumberland
County statistic. I

service because we meet every day.


The free childcare makes it possible for
the women and men to stay in school; the
parenting classes ensure that their children
are being taken care of properly when they
go home. While PLP helps teen parents in
Vineland, it does not mean that it is any
easier. Friddel says, We are not advocating for teen pregnancy. But since they are
pregnant, we want them to be successful
parents, understand child development
and behavior, and most importantly prevent a repeat pregnancy.
The U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services says one in six teen pregnancies are repeat.
The National Campaign to Prevent
Teen and Unplanned Pregnancies estimates that the average annual cost to taxpayers associated with a child born to a
teen mother each year from birth to age 15
is about $1,682. Ensuring that students
will graduate with their high school diploma decreases the chances that they will
need to rely on public welfare services.
Supporting programs like PLP can help to
decrease those costs.
When Naya Lopez found out she was
pregnant, her mom was disappointed, but
that became her motivation: [My mom
and I] got back from my first appointment
with the obstetrician [and] she said of the
doctor, That couldve been you. Lopez,
who always dreamed of being a neonatal
physician says, That hit me. My mom
gave up on my dream. She thought I wasnt
going to be able to achieve anymore.
Lopez graduated this year from
Vineland High School and PLP. Humbly,
Lopez says, I have a 4.1 GPA. I take college physics. I was scared that class would
be hard, but it was easy. I also take gym,
and Advanced Spanish 4. I take AP Bio,
and AP Literature and Composition. What
else do I take? Oh, Medical Terminology
and Pre-Calculus. And no lunch.
Lopez has a support system at home to
take care of her daughter, Jasmarie. Still,
Lopez takes advantage of IMPACTs parenting classes because she was nervous
about being a good mother. IMPACT has
been a safe place for Lopez to turn.
Its somebody who really understands
what you're going through, she says,

Ron Jaworski welcomes Chamber Yummylicious at Cumberland
members.
Mall plays host on Friday, July 15.
The Greater Vineland Chamber of
Commerce (GVCC) hosted its annual
golf classic for the 26th year. On
Thursday, July 21, at Running Deer
Golf Club in Pittsgrove, the golfers
began their day with some encouraging words from sports celebrity and
golf course owner Ron Jaworski.
The day proceeded with fun and
valuable prizes for the golfers, including
a $100,000 cash prize sponsored by Newfield National Bank. There
was a hit the bullseye on the tree or come closest to the tree and
win a chainsaw from LaTorre Hardware. If you landed in the
water, you won a gift certificate from Al & Sams Canoes & Kayaks.
The first-place team, with a score of 14 under, was the TD
Bank team of Kevin Gibala, Adam Bracy, Mike Capriotti and
Thomas Kalick. They won a private airplane roundtrip flight to a
location of their choice.
The most excitement of the day was created by Pete Capizola
of Newfield National Bank, when he hit a hole in one on a contest hole. Pete won a $5,000 gift card donated by Donderos
Diamonds and Fine Jewelry and a set of Nike irons.
The GVCC thanks all those who attended, sponsored, donated and volunteered to make the event a success.
Golf Tournament sponsors were: Ace Plumbing, Heating &
Electrical Supplies, Ameriprise Financial Services, BB&T,
Bottinos ShopRite Supermarkets, Cape Bank, Century Savings
Bank, Comcast, South Jersey Industries, and UA Auto Sales.
The GVCC hosts this exciting event annually in July and
everyone is welcome to join them next year.
