Bay Atlantic Symphonys first concert
in new Cumberland County performance home, starts a new chapter.
Bay Atlantic Symphony Director Jed Gaylin looks forward to a

new relationship with Landis Theater, which celebrates its 80th
anniversary in 2017.
Three-Way Race
for Vineland Mayor
he Bay Atlantic Symphony will open its 2016-17

subscription concert season with a Red Carpet
Evening, starting a new chapter in its new
Cumberland County performance home, Vinelands historic Landis Theater. The concert, featuring masterpieces
by Tchaikovsky and Mozart, takes place on Saturday,
October 29, at 8 p.m. The theater is located at 830 E.
Landis Ave., in the heart of Vinelands downtown district.
Under the direction of Music Director Jed Gaylin, the
concert will be one of contrasts. Tchaikovskys suave,
charming, spirited Serenade for Strings comes from a
composer known for works full of passion and brooding.
Mozarts Requiem, his last work, is fierce and intense in
contrast to the transparency and verve of many of his
works. The Requiem will feature soprano Natalie Conte,
mezzo-soprano Jessica Renfro, tenor Gran Wilson, and
bass-baritone Robert Cantrell, with Choral Arts of South
Jersey and Stockton Chorale.
The concert will also be presented at the Stockton
University Performing Arts Center, on Sunday, October 30.
For this seasons subscription concert series, reduced
ticket prices$30 per concert plus service chargeswill
be for all seats, subsidized by the generous sponsorship
of Woodruff Energy.
Tickets for the Landis Theater performance may be
ordered by calling 866-811-4111, or by visiting the SPOT
marketplace at 618 E. Landis Avenue, 856-839-2825.
All Bay Atlantic Symphony performances will be preceded one hour prior to starting time with a Pre-Concert
Conversation with the Maestro. The Symphonys preconcert lectures are free and open to the public.
We are so excited about inaugurating this new relationship with the Landis Theater and this new partnership with the City of Vineland, Gaylin said. The Landis
Theater is an icon of downtown Vineland and were
proud to be part of what will be the theaters 80th
anniversary next year. Some wonderful initiatives are
resulting from this collaboration.

MAYORAL CANDIDATES
Anthony Fanucci
Continued from cover
I am a lifelong resident of Vineland, having

graduated from St. Augustine Prep and attended Cumberland County College and St. Peters
University. I am married to my wife Stacey and
have three childrenVincenzo, Giavanna, and
Adrianna. I own and operate A.R. Fanucci
Insurance and A.R. Fanucci Real Estate.
I enjoy giving back to the community. I
volunteer as a mentor and career counselor to
local students, support local athletics through
sponsorships and coaching, and am a very
active alumnus of St. Augustine Prep. I am also
an active parishioner of St. Padre Pio parish.
I am a former two-term Vineland Board
of Education member, and am currently a
member of the Vineland City Council, serving as its president since 2013.
I am a member of the National Association
of Insurance and Financial Advisors, the
National Association of Realtors, the
Cumberland County Board of Realtors, and
the Greater Vineland Chamber of Commerce.
I am also honored to be a St. Augustine Prep
Hall of Fame Inductee and Cultural Award
recipient in 2005, as well as, a recipient of The
Spirit of Achievement Award by the Italian
Cultural Foundation of South Jersey in 2014.
In your opinion, what are the three biggest
issues facing Vineland?
Vineland residents expect city hall to provide a high level of service and to be responsive to their needs. This requires strong leadership from the Mayors office and a governing philosophy that is rooted in respect,
transparency, accountability, and teamwork.
This has not been the case over the last four
years. Government can sometimes be complicated and difficult for citizens to engage
with, but there are ways we can make it easier for people. Many things we can do dont
involve great expenditures of money, but
they do require a change in the mindset and
priorities of elected officials.
I believe we need to move away from adhoc decision making and move toward a
strategic economic development approach
which identifies and mobilizes public and
private resources in support of a common
vision. This includes identifying shared services opportunities where practical, and forming partnerships with regional development
entities on projects that will benefit residents
and businesses by growing our tax base. We
must recognize our strengths, acknowledge
our challenges, and look beyond our community resources while working with others to
broaden our chances for success.
We must invest in and strengthen our
electric, water, sewerage, and transportation
infrastructure; and clean up blighted areas of
the city in order to give Vineland a competitive advantage in the marketplace, provide a
productive business environment, and
improve the quality of life for all residents.
How do you plan to address the issues listed above if elected?
I am committed to maintaining open and
Three candidates are vying for position of Mayor in the November 8 election. Nine
candidates are running for five seats on Vinelands City Council. On the next six pages,
mayoral candidate profiles are followed by the council profiles in alphabetical order.
Ruben Bermudez
As the current Mayor of the beautiful City
of Vineland, my focus is to continue to make
the best decisions for the residents by reducing the citys crime and unemployment rate,
to make our neighborhoods clean, safer, and
more affordable for families to live. I am
married to Dr. Sandrie Bermudez and I have
two daughters, Deidre Keen and Kimberly
Padua. I am an innovative entrepreneur with
over three decades of experience, managing
all aspects of Juvante Formal Wear. My political and civic background has consisted of
serving for two terms (eight years) on the
Vineland City Council and as President of
the Council (2000-2004). Im a former president of the Downtown Merchants
Association and as a member of the Vineland
Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, a
former member of the Vineland Planning
Board and the Downtown Improvement
District and served on the Executive Board
for the Boy Scouts of America. I am a former
president of the Latin America Business
Alliance of New Jersey. Currently I serve as
president of the Hand Foundation and also
as a member of the Salvation Army Board. I
enjoy volunteering to the community whenever possible. In addition I have been
involved in missions and humanitarian trips
to countries in Central and South America.
First, we have to continue lowering the
citys unemployment rate, which was at 14 percent when I came in as Mayor and now is at 7
percent. Vineland has unlimited potential and
resources to create more jobs and opportunities. We must continue to e ducate our future
generations in modern and advanced technology by utilizing the Cumberland County
Technical Educational Center and furthering
their education at the Cumberland County
College. Upon completion, they can receive a
Bachelors degree from the University Center
on the Cumberland County College Campus.
Second, we must continue to maintain
integrity in the mayors office to ensure that
all citizens are welcomed, respected, and
heard. We must continue to be fiscally responsible for the budget of the city and to reduce
the tax burden for the residents. We are committed to embracing Vinelands unique heritage, which recognizes the interests of all its
residents and business community.
Third, will continue to ensure that our
neighborhoods are clean, safe and more affordable for families. The City of Vineland wants to
be a magnet for new businesses and continue
to embrace the rich diversity of our city.

I have put forth a three-point plan aimed
specifically at Job Creation and Economic
Growth continuing transparency, accessibility
and competent government in the City of
Vineland. My administration maintains the
core belief that focusing and finding practical
solutions to resolve and minimize the economic challenges will strengthen neighborhoods across the city. This has been accomplished by focusing on public safety. My
administration has hired 20 new full time
police officers, 15 Class II officers and five
Class I officers, which has saved over a
$500,000 in overtime. Weve purchased 35
new patrol vehicles and added mobile video
recording and body cameras for our police
officers and a new police headquarters will be
completed in 2017. In addition, two new pump
fire trucks have been purchased for our fire
department and three new ambulances for
our Emergency Management System. Safety
upgrades include the repaving of nine blocks
downtown Landis Avenue and new midblock
crosswalks. New traffic lights along with NJ
Transit bus stops have been redesigned.
The economic development opportunities
included the expansion of small and large
businesses (Corning, Allied Specialty Foods,
Bridor, Safeway etc.). Also, I led the fight to
keep the Social Services in Vineland, which
saved over 300 jobs and kept $600,000 in our
local economy. There are two Urgent Care
Centers and the Dandelion Strip Mall opened.
Please provide a closing statement:
My approach to life and my values are
very much in line with my faith, family,
friends and the community. We have made a
difference together within the last four years.
Vineland Is Stronger Than Ever Before. I will
be honored if you re-elect me as Mayor of
this great city. Make the right choice and lets
move forward together with Team Bermudez;
vote on November 8th column L.
honest communications between the Mayors

office, City Council, and the public because a
transparent and responsive city government
is crucial to keeping Vineland residents
actively involved in the decision making
process. I believe the key to increasing that
participation is by engaging citizens in the
formation of policy, and ensuring transparency and accountability in its application.
To help move the city forward, I, and my
City Council running mates, have outlined a
specific plan for a cleaner, safer, and more prosperous Vineland. Our plan includes three overarching strategies: Job Growth and
Development, Infrastructure Improvements,
and Beautification and Sustainability. Each of
these strategies is comprised of specific proposals which are designed to work in tandem in
order to achieve the objective. This includes,
but is not limited to, implementing an economic development strategic plan to target future
growth, expanding the Vineland Industrial
Park, initiating a capital improvement plan to
replace our aging water infrastructure, working
to expand sewer coverage, completing electric
utility technology upgrades, taking advantage
of state and federal transportation dollars currently being left on the table, and ensuring
that quality of life and environmental ordinances are enforced to help clean up our city.
At its core, being the Mayor is about having a vision for the city that is both aspirational and realistic. It is about demonstrating
the ability to turn intentions into reality and
maintaining the determination to succeed
when times get tough.
The only way to know what kind of leader
a person will be is by looking at who they have
been, what they have done, and how they have
done it. Have they demonstrated an ability to
get results by working with other elected officials, business, and community organizations
to get results; and do they have a record of
treating people with dignity and respect.
I hope, as you examine the candidates
running this year, you will consider these
factors as you make your decision. I believe I
have the background, experience, ideas, and
team to move Vineland forward. I would be
honored to serve as your next Mayor.

ments and partnerships with the

Affordable Housing. This is one of the
most difficult issued that any administration faces. How do you balance the need
for growth knowing that growth will
require an increase in services (police,
fire, roads, schools, etc). Yet it is clear that
more affordable housing is needed.
Working with the mayor and the council,
the Housing Authority, Planning Board,
and lending institutions develop a plan or
road map to encourage the construction of
affordable housing. Set tracks of land that
low cost housing may be built. This will
require the input to local residents, and
other leaders. Encourage and pursue
grants that will assist with this task. The
thing is to ensure that new construction
include affordable housing.
Infrastructure Improvement. Working
with the mayor and council, develop a
long term plan to pave roads, upgrade
drainage systems, power lines, and utilities such as cable and fiber lines. The key
is to develop a plan that includes all stake
holders, appropriate funds to see the plan
become a reality, and stick to it.
Please provide us with a closing statement:
I have the education, experience, and
skill set that if elected I would be a positive and contributing council member. I
have the ability to analyze issues and concerns and offer an informed position. I
have the ability and temperament to work
with others and recognize the importance
of compromise. I am a lifelong resident of
Vineland that wants to see this, My City,
continue to be the place where others will
be proud to live in especially my kids,
grandkids, and family. I do not want
Vineland to be known as the City when
people cannot wait to leave.

showcase the advantages of locating your

business in our city. Vineland needs to capitalize on offering financial assistance
through our UEZ Loan Program and also
offering affordable land in The Industrial
Park. Vineland is fortunate to have a healthy
UEZ Program that started when my father
was mayor and has grown substantially over
the years. In addition, I will market the
advantage of owning the Vineland
Municipal Electric Utility with the lowest
rates in the area. This is extremely important to the high energy consumers in the
manufacturing industry. Also, I will utilize
tax incentives to attract additional jobs, creating business and industry.
To address the public safety concern, I
will hire additional full time officers, special
2 officers (armed officers) and special 1 officers (unarmed officers). This will increase
the visibility of police presence throughout
the city and create a safer environment.
Finally, I will stabilize taxes by reviewing the budget and eliminating unnecessary spending.
As my father did, I love this city. I
enjoy public service, meeting and talking
to people. I will be once again a dedicated
full-time mayor even though it is not
required for this part-time position. As
before, I will be available and accessible to
tend the needs of Vineland residents. I
will continue to attend local events and
support our organizations. As mayor, I
will bring back, the Landis Avenue festivals such as the Seafood Festival, the Ribs
& Chili and the International Food
Festival. I will increase recreation opportunities for kids and families, including
the reopening of the Skate Park and the
restitution of The Mayors Youth Council
so our youth have a voice in all city matters. Also, I will use the Adopt-A- Block
Program to deal with the serious litter
problem. I will make sure our streets are
clean, swept and leaves and branches are
promptly collected. In city hall, I will
restore the open door policy with expanded evening hours so that citizens and
employees can come and see me when
they wish. Most importantly, I will restore
integrity and pride in the City of Vineland.
I was born and raised in the City of

Vineland. After graduating from Vineland
High School, I attended Stockton
University and graduated with a degree in
Political Science. I achieved the designation of Certified Public Manager from the

Dickinson University.
After college, I was employed by Rural
Opportunities Inc., (ROI) as a Nutrition
Specialist. I was subsequently promoted
to the position of State Director and managed a 5 million dollar non-profit agency
that administered employment and training service to migrant farmworkers. I left
ROI and began employment with the NJ
Casino Control Commission where I
worked for 26 years until being transferred to the Division of Gaming
Enforcement. After 28 years of State service I retired. Shortly thereafter, I went to
work for the Ohio Casino Control
Commission. After eight months I was
promoted to the position of Director of
Licensing. After 18 months in Ohio, I
went to work for the Massachusetts
Gaming Commission (MGC) as the
Director of Licensing.
I have been an active member on various Puerto Rican community organizations, member of the Vineland Board of
Education, and a basketball and soccer
official. I was recognized by Stockton

In your opinion, what are the three
biggest issues facing Vineland?
The three biggest issues facing
Vineland/Cumberland County are: 1) lack
of employment opportunities; 2) affordable housing; and 3) infrastructure
improvement.
How do you plan to address the issues
listed above if elected?
Lack of employment opportunities. In
conjunction with the mayor, develop policies, strategies, and directives to encourage manufacturing jobs to relocate to
Vineland. This may include expanding the
Industrial Park , creating a group whose
responsibility would be to sell the City to
prospective employers/businesses,
aggressive marketing campaign emphasizing what Vineland has to offer, provide
incentives to lure prospective employers/business. Develop business agree-
My great grandfather Giuseppe

Romano immigrated to the United States
in the 1880s and was among the first
Italian settlers in Vineland. My uncle
Angelo Romano married Georgina, who
was among the first Puerto Ricans to
arrive to this city in the 1930s. My parents
Joseph Romano and Angelina Apprendi
instilled in me the values of respect for all
people regardless of their cultural and ethnic background. They also taught me that
serving the community was my civic duty.
My father served as a City Councilman for
12 years and as a Mayor for eight years. I
served as a police officer for the City of
Vineland for 34 years, starting in the Safe
Streets Unit. Then, I served in the Mobile
Patrol and then the K-9 Patrol with my K-9
Pedro. I was later promoted to Sergeant
and assigned to the Street Crime Unit followed by a promotion to Lieutenant and
assigned to Internal Affairs. I served in
that position until I was elected Mayor of
the city of Vineland, at which time I
retired to be a full-time Mayor. I have been
married to my wife Ann for 40 years and
have two children and seven grandchildren. I believe my 34 years on the police
force gave me the insight and perspective
of the everyday resident. By serving as a
Mayor from 2008 to 2012, I gained experience with the administration aspect of the
city and learned about the importance of
always being accessible to constituents and
operating with transparency. Even though
I lost the election in 2012, I have remained
active in the community, through membership in the Elks Club, Board of Directors
for the Boys & Girls Club, the North Italy
Association, feeding the homeless and
playing bingo with our veterans.
The three biggest issues facing the city
of Vineland are jobs, public safety and
taxes. During the present administration
we have seen a substantial increase in loss
of jobs, an increase in the crime rate and
alarming overspending in the city budget.
With the impending closing of General
Mills (Progresso Plant), and the closing of
casinos in Atlantic City, many residents
have lost or are on the brink of losing their
jobs, which consequently has ballooned
the number of home foreclosures in our
city. In terms of public safety, crime ranging from assaults to home invasions have
increased drastically over the past four
years. Last but not least, the frivolous lawsuits caused by the lack of communication
between our present Mayor and City
Council have weighed heavily on the current municipal budget.

Vineland for the next four years. I am the
third generation born in Vineland to Mary
(Stoulis) and the late Anthony Moniodis, a
pharmaceutical glass blower. My grandparents were original farmers of chickens and
sweet potatoes.
I am a product of Vineland Public
Schools and a 1978 graduate of Vineland

education at Rowan University. I taught for
28 years before retiring in 2014. While
teaching, I was Vice President and

Association Conventions in Chicago and
California.
I have been married to my husband,
Byron, for 37 years. We have two children,

The three major issues facing Vineland
at the present time are a lack of equitable
jobs, crime and lack of clean streets.
Douglas A. Albrecht
I am currently the president of Bob
Albrecht Tire & Service. A former City
Councilman, I fought to save tax dollars with
a common sense strategy and management of
city business. As the liason to the Vineland
Municipal Utility, I was an outspoken advocate for the revitalization and modernization
of the utility in its 100 years of operation. I
served as representative to the Planning
Board and Vineland and Millville Urban
Enterprise Zoning Board. I believed it was
top priority to keep people informed what
was happening in their local government.
My professional experience includes a
position in several financial institutions. I
have served as the business coordinator for
Cumberland County and the director of the
Vineland Downtown Improvement District.
I have diversity of volunteer experience
including spending over 15 years working to
save and redevelop the Landis Theater, playing a key role in writing the redevelopment
plan for the project. I served as president
and now treasurer of the Parish Council for
the St. Anthonys Greek Orthodox Church
and coached baseball in SVLL.
A native of Vineland, a graduate of
Vineland Highs Class of 1982, I hold a BA in
Political Science and Economics from the
University of Maryland and a MBA from
Rowan University. I am married to Sophia
(Frangakis) and have one son, Samuel Pantelis.
The need for better job opportunities. It
is very simple: economic opportunity. We are
losing our most talented people because of
the lack of opportunities in Vineland and the
county as a whole. These people are leaving
for better opportunities and not coming back
with their skills and knowledge to move us
forward. These people are not leaving our
area because they want to, it is because they
have to in order to earn a living for their
family and securing their future.
Vineland and Cumberland County rank
the lowest in most important categories:
Gangs, drugs, teen pregnancy; homelessness; tax burden with the growth of prisons;
the growth of government intrusion; deleteriousness of educational institutions; lack of
road maintenance.
I believe these are symptoms of this basic
problem of lack of job opportunities that has
developed over the decades. There are no easy
answers. Being dependent on federal state
governmental solutions has not moved us forward. This reminds me of the saying: Success
only comes before work in the dictionary.
It is time to work together by communicating locally and regionally, private and
public sector to address this essential problem. Sometimes, it is as simple as getting
together face to face and exchanging ideas....

the art of compormise has been lost. We
need to find it again.
I do not have all the answers, that is why
it has to be a team approach. I can do the following as a City Councilman.
I can pursue a comprehensive review of
the city code book, with parameters of making the city more business friendly and the
elimination of red tape. Also, a review of the
fee structures with a focus on encouraging
investment and creativity.
The departments of Planning and License
& Inspection must become more user-friendly. The introduction of better training (cross
training) with a greater focus on providing
better customer service to the contractors
and citizens as a whole.
Systematic revamping of the Department
by introducing the internal use of technology.
City planners and engineers can be made
aware of potential problems earlier in the
design process that would in theory should
allow less costly updates to the developer.
A restructuring of the City Economic
Development Department with an eye
toward developing and growing local small
businesses in strategy sectors into bigger
businesses in those sectors.
Stop penalizing the majority of citizens
who follow the rules and focus the penalties
on individuals or corporations that do not
follow the rules.
Vineland will need to address some major
infrastructure improvements in the near future.
Instead of viewing this as a daunting task, it
may be a rare opportunity for the city to study
the Idea of Fast Cities concept. Chattanooga,
TN, was one of the first cities to bypass large
commercial internet service providers and start
offering city-run gigabit speed fiber services for
its citizens back in 2008.
In Vineland, we have over 500 miles of
roads. We have problems with repairing
these roads. It is well documented that the
cost of repairing a road in New Jersey is

If elected, I will continue to support
bringing new and innovative jobs to
Vineland in order to keep our children
from leaving the area.
We must ensure that our quality of life
and environmental ordinances are consistently enforced, continue to educate residents and businesses about the environmental and economic impacts litter causes,
and work to expand public/private partnerships through our Clean Communities
program, Environmental Commission, and
Economic Development department.
We need to continue hiring the best and
brightest police officers in Vineland and
make sure they have support from elected
officials and the best training and equipment possible to do their job safely and
professionally.

My familys roots are deep. I want nothing more than a clean, safe and prosperous

Why is Election Day on November 8, 2016?

If you thought Election Day was always held on the first Tuesday of
November, you are mistaken. Thats because Election Day can never be held on
the very first day of November. The following clarification and history lesson
comes from the trusty Old Farmers Almanac (almanac.com).
By an act of Congress in 1845, the first Tuesday following the first Monday
in November was designated Election Day for future presidential elections.
The first such election took place on November 7, 1848. Whig Party candidate Zachary Taylor won out over Democrat Lewis Cass and Free-Soil candidate (and former president) Martin Van Buren.
Taylors running mate was Millard Fillmore, who became the nations 13th
president on July 10, 1850, upon Taylors untimely death.

three times as high as anywhere else in the
country. How do we get the biggest bang for
the buck?
I do not want to re-engineer our secondary roadsjust repair it and repave it and
move onI see townships all around the
city use this Oil and Chip method. I can
envision that this process being done inhousecontinuously.

Please provide us with a closing statement.
If elected, I will work hard to make the
government work for you by pursuing the
idea suggested above and many more. I ask
for your vote on November 8.
I have lived in Vineland for the majority

of my life. I was raised in East Vineland on
my familys farm. I attended St. Marys

1. Chronic disease and obesity in Vineland/
Cumberland County: We are ranked the least
healthy county in the state and are among the
top 50 least healthy/ poorest counties in the
country. It is my belief that we must work to
create healthy, thriving places where residents
live, work, worship, learn and play, and in
which all citizens enjoy a good quality of life.
2. Emergency Preparedness: The Office of
Emergency Management has done a great job
keeping our city safe during weather events,
etc. However, we need to give them more
modern tools in order to combat what may be
coming to us in the future. 1) The citys
Emergency operation center is extremely
compromised. 2) All city departments, public/private schools, and private sectors (businesses, faith based, and nonprofits) need to
meet frequently and exercise all our capabilities in case of a disaster or planning for an
event. 3.) Communication capabilities need to
be improved in order for city workers and citizens to be informed of storms, events, etc.
3. Marketing Vineland: Vineland is a diverse
community with much to offer residents and
visitors. We must continue to improve our visibility throughout the region utilizing a consistent positive message in order to recruit new
businesses to locate here, support our existing
business community, and invite visitors to
I am a person with a versatile skill-set, a

lot of integrity and a willingness to go the
extra mile to make a difference in my own
beautiful city of Vineland. My background
has consisted of serving as a substitute
teacher in Cumberland County, Juvenile
Probation Officer of Cumberland County
and as a retired social worker for the
Department of Corrections of New Jersey.
I am married to Pastor James Goolsby. I
have two childrenMatthew, a police sergeant in the State of Washington and Valicia,
a childcare provider in Millville. We have
five grandchildren that we simply adore.
My husband, Pastor James Goolsby, and
I have faithfully served the New Hope
Baptist Church in Cedarville for 38 years.
We support an orphanage/school in Haiti
and have made several mission trips to
Haiti to see their progress. In addition, I
have been involved in missions and
humanitarian trips to foreign counties,
such as Mexico, Columbia and Egypt.

NAACP, the Women Christian Temperance
Movement and I serve on the Advisory
Board for the Hands Foundation and now
on Mayor Ruben Bermudez re-election
team as a Council Candidate. I am compassionate and dedicated to helping others
succeed and making a difference in my
hometown of Vineland, New Jersey.
First, I would say the relationship
between the community and the police
must improve; both of them are in fear of
each other, everybody wants to go home at
the end of the day. All lives have a right to
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Second, Vineland roads are in need of
improvement.
Third, we need to keep jobs in Vineland.
We must continue to promote businesses to
come and invest in our city. A better quality
of life for our citizens rest on job opportunities available here in Cumberland County.
come and explore what Vineland has to offer.

1. In my view, our city has an exceptional
health department. The city council also acts
as the Board of Health. Its critical that we
maintain qualified health inspectors, health
educators, health officers, and public health
nurses. I would assist with our business
administrator in maintaining a smart budget
and work on methods to increase funding
opportunities of the much-needed services.
Presently, the health department is actively
finding grants to help supplement our costs.
With my fellow colleagues, I would like to
assist in finding further grant opportunities
in order to maintain and improve upon the
services we currently can offer. During the
past three years, I have had the pleasure of
working with the Cumberland County Health
Department. I have found that both agencies
work well together and I would encourage
this partnership to continue and flourish.
2. If elected, I would work for an
Emergency Operations Center to be relocated
into a modern/extreme weather resistant
building, located somewhere in center city. I
would work with the Emergency
Management Coordinator to ensure that all
departments meet regularly for preparedness,
education, and exercise/drill emergency plan.
I would work with the school district and
attempt to have the city tie in with their allcall system. This system would connect to
cell phones, email, and home phone systems.
3. Working with the mayor, council, and
other stakeholders I would solicit more funds
to improve our marketing. I would work with
our Economic Development Department and
marketing professionals to develop a multiyear strategic plan, outlining different marketing pathways to enhance the citys visibility.
Based on my experience, education, and
work ethics, I feel that I can help this city by
improving growth, education, health, and overall quality of life. I feel that collaboration is my
greatest professional skill. I will bring reason
and common sense to city government. I
would like an opportunity to make a difference
which impacts generations to come, so when
our children get older they will raise their family proudly here in the City of Vineland.

Community policing and a police presence seen around the neighborhoods when
there are no incidents occurring. I would
like to see three to four Police/Community
Forums, which will address any issues and
concerns and perhaps together come up
with resolutions to address problems.
To continue to improve and maintaining
the roads and streets of Vineland.
The City of Vineland owns its own
Electric Utility Plant; this would be one
incentive to new businesses to come to
Vineland because Vineland has one of the
lowest electricity rates in the State of New
Jersey.
I am determined and a proactive goalsetter striving for success in all things. I
have the skill set to make a difference
being a part of the Bermudez Team. We
have a blossoming community of diversity,
productivity and vitality in the city of
Vineland. Having a positive attitude,
together we can achieve a greater quality
of life for our residents.
I am asking the residents of Vineland to
give me an opportunity to serve them.
Please come out and vote The Bermudez
Team for Progress Column L on Election
Day on November 8. We can move
Vineland forward together.

My name is Antonio F. Romero, I was

Pennco Tech where I received a bachelors
in communication.
I am married to Mari C Romero with
five childrenLynn Romero, Vanessa
Romero, Stephany Romero, Anthony
Romero and Nathaly Romero. My children
are my biggest motivation.
I moved to Florida where I worked for
Storer Communications in Miami, in
which I was the technical supervisor for
more than 75 employees.
As my parents got older I felt the need
to return to Vineland. When I returned, I
worked at Speedy Mufflers (Tenneco
Corp.) where I was nominated Pride
Award Winner in five countries. After that
I worked at Midas Corp. and became and
the Best Awarded Manager in 1989, and on
the board of Midas Trustees.
In 1995 I opened up my own business in
Vineland, Budget Mufflers and Brakes. Ive
had this business for 22 years. Being a resident and businessman of Vineland I feel it
is my duty to give back to my community.
1. Maintenance of the city. 2. High
crime 3. Lack of jobs.
Appointing the right people for our
public works is necessary. Placing a new
director would help with maintaining of
equipment, snow removal, operation of
street cleaners, getting proper licensed
people to operate heavy equipment, and
the maintenance of our parks and maintenance of their fields.
Diamaris Rios
I am a lifelong Vineland resident. I am
currently engaged and I am a proud mother
of a 6-year-old son. I have an Associates
Degree of Applied Science in Early
Childhood Education. I am employed with
the Cumberland County Division of Social
Services, where I have worked for the past 12
years. I have been elected and served on of
the Vineland Board of Education for the past
nine years. As a board member, I have been
involved in various committees affecting students, teachers, and Vineland taxpayers. I
have worked with our board members in
diligently addressing our schools annual
budgets. I have participated in employee and
employer negotiations, and I have worked in
unison with numerous superintendents,
board members, teachers, parents, and students. One of my greatest achievements on
the Vineland BOE was implementing the
Uniform Policy throughout the entire district. The uniform policy received a 9-0 vote.
I am running for City Council to continue
to promote and improve the lives of those in
our city. It is my hope that you will allow me
the opportunity to represent you in advancing the needs of this city as well as delivering
to you an individual who is committed to you
and our city.
One of the major issues the City of
Vineland is facing is its deteriorating appearanceovergrown trees hanging on our electrical lines, which affect our electrical system,
drainage systems filled with debris, which
causes flooding and affects our roads. In some
areas, streets are in need of street cleaning and
vacant properties need upkeep. Many roads
have visible damage with notable potholes.
Another major issue is the lack of new
businesses. Vineland has always been known
as a wonderful place to raise a family and
historically has been a place where many
businesses can thrive, yet at this time, we
lack in obtaining, keeping, and attracting
new businesses. Why do we have to travel 30
minutes to an hour and spend our money in
other cities when we can spend it locally?
Last but not least, the City's budget is of
great concern to us all. Lack of managing the
budget appropriately may cause the issues
we already have at hand to intensify.
I believe we should have an open dialogue
with our community so that they may have a
way to communicate the ongoing issues that
have been taking place in their neighborhoods
to Mayor and Council. Mayor and Council
should sit with department heads to determine what areas are in need of improvement
and work together on resolving these issues at
hand. As a voting member on Council, it is

important to learn about each and every
department in order to better understand
their needs and provide these departments
with the proper resources to help them
accomplish our goal of improving the city.
I would propose we start venturing outside
our city and start bringing family-friendly
businesses to Vineland. Why don't we have a
Chuck E Cheese, Dave & Buster's, Indoor/
Outdoor Waterparks, a bowling alley, etc.? We
should communicate yearly with various businesses and convince them to invest in our city.
This proposal will not only allow Vinelanders
to spend quality time here with their families
but it also will bring revenue to the city that
will then create less tax burden on our residents and it will allow us to invest more on
the resources needed to help our Departments
run smoothly and efficiently.
The budget on a yearly basis must be analyzed and after reviewing the facts effective
decisions must be made. We must continue
to work diligently with department heads
and allow them to communicate to us which
items within their departments they can do
without. I believe we are in definite need of a
grant writer, which will help find funds free
of cost for the City. I also believe that the
proposal to bring more businesses to our
city will increase our revenue.
As a person who has always been dedicated in serving my community, I value people
and the City of Vineland tremendously. This
city is where I have received an abundance
of knowledge, awareness, experiences and
have many everlasting memories. As I continue to work hard for my family and the residents of Vineland, I am thankful for all of
my opportunities and accomplishments.
Whether its helping the city through volunteering my time, at work helping those less
fortunate or serving as a board member for
the students, teachers, and residents of
Vineland, I am truly appreciative.
I, like many of you, have hopes and aspirations to see the best not only for our
friends and families, but in our city. As a per-
Ways that we can reduce crime in the

city is by staffing our police department
that has been under staffed for the last
four years. We need to bring back our bicycle police that monitor our down town.
Using our resources such as, owning our
own electric utilities, our sewer department, out new VOTEC School and
Industrial Park, Vineland could stand in an
excellent spot in South Jersey to attract
companies and industries. The great
amount of unemployment would serve as
employees for the new companies.
Vineland is an excellent town with a lot
of potential for future greatness. We have a
lot of resources that are not being utilized.
With the right person as mayor and the
right people in city council, we can be on
the path to success. I have developed a
family, a business, and a love for and in this
town; therefore, I want to give back to our
city. We can no longer sit and watch
Vineland make no progress. We must act,
for this is our city that is home for our
families. On November 8, go make a difference with your vote.

Employment, taxes, and crime.
Employment: One of the most important issues would be to bring new businesses to Vineland, and keep those that
we currently have. If I become aware of
any discussions regarding a business closing, I would try anything within my power
to keep them from closing their doors.
Taxes: Decreasing taxes by stopping
wasteful spending, and decrease overtime

The need for jobs, code enforcement,
and stopping crime.
To make employees accountable and
more effective through good leadership.
Give business incentives to attract new
businesses. To hire more police and schedule the patrols in a more effective manner.
If elected, I would like to continue the
work this City Council has started despite
the lack of support of the present administration. With an elected Team Fanucci Council
and Mayor, the cooperation has already
started and the vision is the same. This in
itself will allow things to progress faster and
better for a more productive government to
help serve the citizens of Vineland.

for non-essential employees. Private

organizations who wish to have functions
in the city of Vineland should provide
their own security, or utilize monies from
their own budget to pay for police officers
and other essential employees rather than
using taxpayers funds. Cross training

road department in emergency situations,
such as snow removal, which would

Crime: Educating the public to communicate with Vineland Police Department
officials. Using social media to obtain

the city. Increase street lighting throughout the city. To prevent crime, encourage
citizens to bring back the neighborhood

Athletic League, Community Policing, and
the Chaplin Program, which has proven to
be beneficial to the community.
The qualities that I possess are great
communication skills with members of
the community. I am a man of integrity,
my vision is for a better and stronger
Vineland, and I am passionate, energetic,
well-rounded, and competent.

support me, and give me the opportunity
to serve as your councilman. Please vote

Missionary Pilot Visits Redeemer Lutheran Church
David Smith of the

Lutheran Association
of Missionaries and
Pilots (LAMP) chatted
recently with the members of Redeemer
Lutheran Church at
Sunday worship.
Smith, a missionary
pilot, explained how he
along with 500 shortterm volunteer missionaries from the
United States and
Canada provide spiritual witness and nurture faith to over 60 communities in remote Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and British Columbia. Most communities have 400 to 500 people.
Smith explained how LAMP has impacted the lives of the more than 5,000
children, youth and adults each year since its establishment in 1970. The volunteers lead Vacation Bible Schools and Christ-centered sports camps for children
and youth, in addition to offering Bible study programs for adults during the
summer months. Access to most villages is by small plane as most do not have
connecting roads. Runways are mostly gravel.
Smith served in the Air Force for more than 20 years and then taught college
for seven years before becoming a missionary pilot. A check was presented to
Smith from members of the church as part of Redeemers monthly Positive
Change Program where loose change is collected and given to charitable causes.

Hollywood Meets
Rosenhayn
In The Migrants, several interior scenes were shot
at the migrant shacks in Rosenhayn on the site of
Joe Parisis farm.
{ 12 } the grapevine |
OCTOBER 19, 2016
When the made-for-television movie The Migrants

was filmed in 1973
throughout Cumberland
County, several interior scenes were shot
at the migrant shacks in Rosenhayn on the
site of Joe Parisis farm.
Parisi, who had relocated to Maine
seven years after The Migrants film crew
commandeered his facilities, talked about
how his property came to be used in the
movie during a 2008 interview. I was
doing business with the FHA, and a manager introduced me to somebody who was
in charge of this, he explained. He
approached me and asked me if Id consider [allowing filming on the farm]. I said
yes. I think they paid me some money. I
have no idea what it was at this point, but
if there was a reason, I guess that was it.
At the time, Parisi employed 10 migrant
workers, but the shacks on his property
could accommodate up to 25. The film
crew used the unused shacks for filming,
he revealed. In readying the living quarters
for use as the fictional Barlow familys
facilities, the film crew took some liberties,
according to Parisi. They sent a movie
crew out and, to the best of my memory,
they did some painting of the buildings
and then shot the movie, he recalled.
They took pictures of my cousins farm,
Blue Eagle Farms, across from my field to
show where the farmers [in the film] live
in contrast to the deplorable conditions the
migrants had to live in.
Parisi recalls some filming during the
day but said he wasnt interested in
watching the shoot. I was busy working
in the field, he explained. This was summer. I was harvesting tomatoes. I did what
I normally do. Im not a filmmaker. I
stayed out of their hair and they didnt ask
me to do anything. Parisis lack of interest
may surprise some, but anyone familiar
with a film shoot knows how tedious and
unglamorous it can be, with repeated
takes until an acceptable one is achieved.
The tedium during The Migrants shoot
seems to have reached its peak during a
night scene at Parisis farm that made
local headlines. These were some of the

final and most crucial moments to be shot
and, according to the Vineland Times
Journal, work began at 5:30 p.m. on
September 4 and concluded at 4 a.m. the
next day. Director Tom Gries told
reporters that he was not a fan of night
shoots. I hate it, he admitted. Because
there is no sun to help supply light, everything takes longer to set up.
The length of the filming that night
didnt attract Parisis attention. I was in
bed at that time, he said. I was not really
that interested in it. The themethe
farmer had it so good and the migrants
had a bad lifedidnt interest me at all.
Someone who did attend the night
shoot was Parisis son, Joe Jr, who also
offered his recollections in 2008. Only 13
years old at the time, he recalled an
amusing moment during filming. Ron
Howard was driving the car and he was
supposed to stop but wasnt sure where
he was supposed to stop, he said,
explaining that Howard continued to
drive while the cast and crew watched.
Gries said, Whats Ronny doing, driving
back to Hollywood?
Despite the time spent filming at his
farm, the elder Parisi noted that there
wasnt much in that movie that pertained
to my farm. There were only about 10
minutes from filming on the farm. But
the former Cumberland County resident
had a compliment for the visiting crew.
They did a respectable job in cleaning up
afterward, he said.
Another lengthy shoot occurred during
the filming of a scene in which the
Barlows visit the Dixie County Welfare
office to request help in burying a
deceased relative. The segment was shot
in Vineland at the Cumberland County
Welfare Department offices on the
Boulevard at the end of August. According
to reports in the Times Journal, the fivehour shoot, which began at 6:30 a.m.,
required a number of retakes, which
delayed the offices return to its regular
operation.

The induction ceremony was officiated by club chair, Tina Ritondaro, who
explained that Rotarians provide
humanitarian service, encourage high
ethical standards in all vocations, and
help build goodwill and peace in the
world. As signified by the motto
Service Above Self, Rotarys main
objective is service, both in the community and in the workplace.
Jessica is no stranger to Rotary,
said Ritondaro. She served as Interact
Club advisor at Vineland High School
for three years and is an advocate of
service in every sense of the word. We
couldnt be happier to officially welcome her to our club.
The Tri-County Community Rotary

Jersey Rotary E-Club and serves
Atlantic, Cumberland and Gloucester
counties. The club has joined forces
with a number of local organizations to

membership of 40 business professionals.
Omni Baking Has

Employee Appreciation
Day, Raises Funds for
Ronald McDonald House
funds to sponsor a guest bedroom.

Omnis management developed a
dunk tank challenge to raise money for
the RMH.
I think it was a win-win situation.
We requested a $1 donation for three
throws to dunk management. We wanted our employees to have fun and feel
empowered and also help out a great
organization.
As with all great things, it takes a village to make success possible. We
received donations for raffle prizes from
over 80 vendors and affiliates. We gave
our employees a wide array of gift
cards, sporting event tickets, shirts and
other items, including a bistro set.
Almost 70 percent of our employees

walked away with a prize, said Mr.
Mulloy. I want to thank all the companies who gave us a food donation,
including Amoroso Baking Company,
The Safeway Group, Taylor Farms and
Frit-O-Lay. I also want to send out a
special thank you to US Flour for
matching what our employees raised. It
is with their help that we are able to
donate over $1,800 to The Ronald
McDonald House on behalf of The
Bakers Club of Philadelphia.

McDonald House, visit: rmhc.org. To

Its a rare day when you can play

ping pong and throw balls at a dunk
tank on a beautiful late summer day
while at work. But thats exactly what
happened on September 14 for the
employees of Omni Baking Company.
Omni Baking is an industrial leader in
the area who considers their employees
their most important asset.
This is our sixth consecutive year
we have had an Employee Appreciation
Day and every time we try to up the
ante, stated Daniel Mulloy, general
manager for Omni Baking Company.
We want our employees to feel welcome, respected and appreciated every
day. They are the reason we run and we
want to recognize them for their hard
work. We want to let them know how
grateful we are to have them work
here.
Along with yard games, Omni management served steak sandwiches, salads and ice cream. A new addition to
this years festivities was a dunk tank.
But there was a twist.
Omni Baking Company is an active
participant in The Bakers Club of
Philadelphia, a non-profit organization
of local professionals involved in the
baking industry. The Bakers Club is
reaching out to its members in an effort
to help raise funds for The Ronald
McDonald House of Philadelphia. The
RMH is entering into an expansion project on their Chestnut Street location.
The RMH offers free or low cost housing
to families of seriously ill children visiting the areas hospitals. The Bakers
Club has committed to raising enough

on EWTN (Catholic television network) featuring none other than Dr. Perlmutter.
My mother is 92, and although she started her career as a stenographer, her handwriting is atrocious. But she is the Lord's
best advocate for Gregory, our 26 year-old
son with autism. She took down 17 pages of
this mans spiel, thinking it might help
Greg. Her writing was miraculously clear.
There was a time when Greg watched
EWTN every day, switching between the
Divine Mercy Chaplet (a devotional prayer)
and Sesame Street.
It was Maudlin versus the Muppets, and
it sounded like this:
"For the sake of His sorrowful Passion...
"UM Um Um. Cookie Monster looove
cookies! ...
"Have mercy on us and on the whole
world ...
"Tee hee hee. Elmo is ticklish! ... (repeat)
I thought I would lose my mind.
Mom thought he was an angel from
heaven.
So. A show about how eating a glutenfree diet can change your life, and improve
brain function in people with autism? Well,
I had been searching for guidance about
our family's diet for a while, and here it
was. God speaking through my mother.
Ok, so I'll try it.
I have started wedging into our dishes
lots of veggies on the what-to-eat list.
Weve tried some GF pastas and bagels
with varying results, and weve cut back on
sugar and salt. We have not gone whole hog
on the plan, but so far, so good.
I consulted with my family doctor, and
she is very enthusiastic. I have high cholesterol and we both hope that my numbers
will go down if I cut down on carbohydrates.
Some surprising foods on the good list:
Butter, whole milk, dark chocolate (70%
cacao), and eggs. Dr. Perlmutter calls eggs
the perfect food. But you have to eat the
whole egg, no separating the white.
The challenge is going to be feeding the
family in such a new way and having peace
while doing it. In this area, no one really
likes change.
But a womans got to know her limitations. My days of eating Buzzard's Breath

Voted One of the Best 2016
Two Major Events for Landis Avenue This Week
1370 S. Main Rd., Vineland
The week started off with a bang for Downtown Vineland as a groundbreaking
was held on Monday morning at the site of the future Landis Senior Apartments
at the intersection of East and Landis avenues.
On Thursday night, October 20, another major event is planned as Main
Street Vineland will be formally launching the rebranding of downtown Vineland
for the future at a gala launching party at the Landis Theater, 830 E. Landis Ave.
Many of the same people are likely to attend Thursday evenings launch party
as those in attendance on Monday morning. Thats because both events are celebrations of the future of Vinelands Landis Avenue.
At Mondays groundbreaking ceremony, a mix of elected officials, community
stakeholders and development professionals gathered inside a tent temporarily
propped up on the otherwise flattened land at the southeast corner of East and
Landis, also referred to as the East Gateway to downtown Vineland. Joining a
host of dignitaries at the front of the tent was developer Hans Lampart, who has
toiled away for nine years and a half dozen voluminous applications to line up
the financing for the project. Before any shovels dug into the earth outside the
tent, though, Lampart made an emotionally charged presentation to Dan Reilly,
the son of the late Fran Reilly. Lampart presented Reilly with a placque that will
be displayed in the common area of the apartment building, indicating that the
area will be named the Francis J. Reilly Senior Community Center.
Mondays upbeat mood spilled into
Tuesday evening, when a ribbon-cutting
ceremony was held at Mauros on the
Ave, formally the site of Moris
Restaurant next to the Landis Theater
(too late for publication). The bouyant
feelings will surely continue on
Thursday night as the crowd gathers at
the Landis Theater for the branding
launch party. The free, high-energy,
high-impact event will begin at 5:30
p.m. when a new logo and new image
for Landis Avenue and the downtown
will be revealed.

CELEBRATING THE
STRENGTH & LONGEVITY
OF LONG-TIME
AREA BUSINESSES
Vineland businesses celebrate milestone anniversaries.
{ BY MARGIE BARHAM }
ew will argue that times have been

tough in recent years for many business owners. Economic conditions
have forced many businesses into bankruptcy and to close. Yet, through it all,
these three Vineland entrepreneurs celebrate momentous accomplishment this
year for their durability. Although each of
these businesses are very different from the
other, they share one thing in common.
They all attributeas a secret to their successa drive for superior customer service.
All from Vineland, the three have hit
longevity milestones in not only running a
successful business, but also growing it.
BODY BENEFITS PILATES STUDIO, 3722

E. Landis Ave., Vineland, 856-213-6365.
Owner/Senior Instructor Anita Cavalier
opened Body Benefits LLC in June 2006
and moved to her current location two
years later.
Her start in Pilates came as a way to fill
the void left after her mothers passing.
After practicing for two years she felt ready
physically and mentally to open her business. I am a natural care-giver and I felt
like this was a way for me to help others
enjoy a happier, healthier, pain-free life
through movement, she explained.
A lifelong Vineland resident, she never

thought of opening anywhere else. I felt
the studio could benefit the people here.
Her studio is believed to be the only one in
the area to offer personal private Pilates on
the original apparatus.
I find it so rewarding to help people
become active and pain-free. When a client
leaves the studio and says my body thanks
you, thats all I need to feel energized and
to continue to give back to them. Im changing their lives for the better! she said.
The secret to her successes ultimately is
with her committed to having a positive
impact on every student who comes into
her studio. I pride myself on continuing
my education and also require my instructors to do the same, she says. We are
always learning and trying to improve so
we can offer the best sessions to my students. Group classes are kept small, with a
personal feel, and attention to form. The
private sessions are tailored to each individual and their needs. We help everyone
from post-rehab, to athletes looking for a
competitive edge.
Body Benefits supports post-rehabilitation from orthopedic surgeries to pre- and
post-natal.
Cavalier noted plans to continue to offer
quality programs and instructors committed to the work of Joseph Pilates.
Currently there is a wait-list for private sessions, but Cavalier offers group classes as
needed.
RENTAL COUNTRY INC., 1044 W.

Landis Ave., Vineland, 856) 227-4242.
When Vineland natives Gary and Betty
Galloway opened Rental Country 35 years
ago, they did it here because they wanted to
work where they lived. We saw a need and
the opportunity came up, he recalled. As
the name suggests, Rental Country, Inc. provides a variety of power equipment and
tools to rent. They also provide maintenance and sell new and used brand-name
equipment and parts.
The Galloways opened their first store
October 12, 1981 in Vineland and it soon
grew into a thriving business. Because of
this success, and recognizing a need in the
area, within a few short years the
Galloways branched out to three additional
locations, opening stores in 1985, 1990 and
2001 throughout southern New Jersey.
These stores were opened in Cape May
Court House, Egg Harbor Township and
Sicklerville. One of the largest dealers of
power equipment in South Jersey, earlier
on they were named a major dealer of
Honda Power Equipment and STIHL
Power Tools, which they still sell, rent and
service today. Other brand names they offer
include Scag, Briggs & Stratton, Wacker,
Billy Goat, Husqvarna, Partner, Wright,
Dixie Diamond, Senco, Emglo, Bobcat,
Milwaukee, and Troy-Bilt Lawn & Garden
equipment. Most of these items are not
found in box stores.

While the company has grown tremendously in the past three and a half decades
in business, it has been excellent customer
service that keeps the Galloways in the
game, and is likely the secret to their continued success.
I most enjoy the interaction with customers and hearing how our equipment
helped them get their job done, he explains.
We pride ourselves on building good relationships with customers, employees, and
vendors. Unlike other companies that order
as needed, Rental Country also keeps a
robust inventory to serve the customer.

What are the future plans for their business? Because of our success, we will continue to offer excellent customer service and
top quality products in all of our locations,
Galloway says simply.
DUBELL KITCHENS, 4019 S. Main Rd.,
Vineland, 856) 692-7100. Tri-City
Kitchens, operated by the Bernhardt family
has been in business for 45 years. It was
recently acquired by another mainstay business, Dubell Lumber Company.
According to Keith Bernhardt, II, who
now is charged with business development
for Dubell, the Tri-City Kitchens location
in Vineland will be a the Dubells premier
kitchen cabinetry showroom within the
entire mid-Atlantic area. The 6,000-squarefoot location is currently upgrading displays with custom cabinetry and state-ofthe-art appliances.
Logistically, the Vineland locations easy
access off Route 55 allows Dubell to service
the growing South Jersey shore market, as
well as the Philadelphia area. It is Dubells
intent to make Vinelands showroom a destination showroom for all builders and
remodelers, architects, and homeowners,
Bernhardt explained, adding that customer
service will remain a top priority with
Dubell as it was with Tri-City Kitchens.
According to Bernhardt, Dubell
Kitchens has always stayed diversified in
cabinetry options to allow for any budget.
This flexibility has been key to continued
growth over the past several years. With
Dubells purchasing power, our clients are
getting the highest quality products at the
best prices available, he added.
Dubell has been an industry pillar as
well, having been a leading building materials supplier in the South Jersey market for
over 75 years. In addition to the Vineland
location, the company also has facilities in
Cherry Hill, Medford, Winslow Township,
and in Millville (Truss Plant). Dubell has
plans to build an advanced and ultramodern facility in Camden. I

BARRETTA PLUMBING, HEATING &

COOLING, 1784 Pine Ave., Vineland,
856-691-1950, first opened their doors in
1896, when John C. Barretta saw an opportunity to cash in on a young Vinelands rapid
growth. By the 1920s, the staff had grown from
three employees to 20. After the Great
Depression, however, the business was scaled
down quite a bit. Through the 50s and 60s,
there were only a few employees. With the
70s, came a new focus on heating and air-conditioning. The high mark for employment
came in 2007, when Barretta reached 30
employees for the first time.
The business has always been familyowned and operated, as the fourth generation
of the Barretta family guides it into the 21st
century. Over the years the business has had to
adapt. During the early years, there was a
hardware store division of the company. When

Cumberland Christian
Celebrates 70th
Cumberland Christian School provides Christian families in South
Jersey with the opportunity for a
Christian school education for children
ages K3 through 12th grade.
The school started in 1946, when a
small group of Christian parents met
to consider the formation of a
Christian School. After much prayer
and discussion, a constitution was
written, a Board of Directors elected,
and the school was incorporated
under the laws of the State of New
Jersey. The Vineland Christian School
opened in September of 1946, with
one teacher and 17 students in grades
two through six. Since 1946, the
school name has changed, the location has changed and many students
have passed through the doorsbut
the vision remainsproviding quality
Christian education to Christian families in South Jersey.
In 1946, one teacher was employed;
in 2016, that number has grown to 43
including part time and full time

The business was founded in 1908 by

space. The present 13,800-square-foot store
showcases hundreds of appliances, TVs and
vacuums and stores tens of thousands of appliance and vacuum parts.
Mainieros has been a family-owned and
operated business for four generations and
this, along with several valuable long term
employees, has been a key part of the familys
success story. Keeping a finger on the pulse of
daily activities and personal contact with customers is what keeps things running smoothly.

began offering that service. With the recent
slow down in construction projects, Barretta
has adapted by focusing more on residential
and commercial service and installations.
Theyve also tried to keep up with the
ever-changing technological landscape. In
1998, the entire office was computerized and
employee cell phones were added. In recent
years, the company has instituted new policies
that focus on environmental friendliness within much more efficient and technical heating
and cooling equipment.
Barrettas longevity and success can be
attributed to a combination of hard work and a
commitment to family and customers. They
have seen signs of improvement in the economy in the past year. Sales and available projects
to bid on have increased. There seems to be
less apprehension on the part of consumers to
spend on improving the quality of their
mechanical systems. The availability of inexpensive natural gas has led to an increase in
heating and hot water conversions. Savings
from higher efficiency of heating and cooling
equipment and the associated financial incentives being offered by government and utility
companies has led to more interest in consumers upgrading equipment. Overall, the
company expects to experience growth in 2017.

MEMBERS 1ST OF NJ FEDERAL CREDIT

UNION, 37 W Landis Ave., 856-696-0767,
is a financial cooperative owned by the members and governed by a volunteer board. The
credit union was formed in 1938 with only
seven original members as the Cumberland
Teachers Federal Credit Union with a combined deposit of just $36. The first loan issued
in 1938 was for $100. The credit union was
managed by the chairman of the board who
ran the business out of his pockets, the left
pocket for loans and the right for deposits.
The credit union was run only by volunteers and did not have an employee until 1985.
Members 1st currently has about 20 employees
and three locations.
In 1963, the credit union graduated to modern office equipment, but the office was still
run out of a directors home. In 1985, the credit
union purchased its first property on Delsea
Drive and the name was changed to CUMCO
Federal Credit Union. The credit union continued to grow and in 2000 moved to its current
location on Landis Avenue. In 2009, the Salem
County School Employees Federal Credit
Union merged into CUMCO FCU. The Landis
Avenue office was renovated and the credit
union name was changed to Members 1st of
NJ FCU to better reflect the entire field of
membership. Members 1st now has offices in
Vineland, Bridgeton and Woodstown.
The credit union is still a member-owned
financial institution. Over the years, it has
changed from a small plain vanilla credit
union run strictly by volunteers, offering just
savings accounts and loans to a full-service
financial institution with three branch locations. Members 1st is also a part of the Credit
Union Shared Branch Network, which gives
members the opportunity to conduct their
financial transactions in over 5,000 locations
across the country.
To be competitive and give members the
services that they demand, the Board of
Directors has always been proactive when

investing in products and services as well as
technology.
As a member-owned financial cooperative,
their philosophy is People Helping People.
They are committed to providing good service
at a fair price.
Since 1938, the goal of the credit union has
remained the same, which is to deliver quality
services to members at the lowest possible cost.
Members 1st is dedicated to helping all members and especially members struggling through
hard times. During this economic downturn,
they recognized the need to develop products
to help members with access to funds without
charging them excessive fees and triple digit
interest rates. They have implemented products
such as short-term loans and pay-day alternative loans so members can get the funds they
need quickly. They also offer financial counseling and credit rebuilder loans that have a savings component tied to them so members can
start building a strong financial future.

their grandfathers vision.

mainly on constant professionalism, caring
and compassionate employees and dedication
to even the smallest of details.
It has been our great privilege to have
served the many wonderful families of our community for the last 84 years, state the owners.
It is our pledge to continue serving with the
same level of excellence well into the future.

ST. MARY SCHOOL, 735 Union Rd.,

Vineland, 856-692-8537, is a premier
Catholic elementary school that has been serving the Cumberland, Atlantic and Gloucester
County communities for over 55 years.In
September 1959, St. Mary School first opened
with only two classes, kindergarten and first
grade. The school grew each year by one classroom until 1968. In 1963, the all-purpose cafeteria and hall was added; in 1966, the South
Wing was added; in 1981 an 8th grade classroom and science lab were added and, in 1995 a
Music Room and Pre-K room were added. In
2009 a gym, cafeteria and stage was added and
the existing all-purpose cafeteria was renovated
into a Library/Media Center, an Art Room,
Music Room and Pre K classrooms. In 2016 two
outdoor classrooms and a garden were added.
Fr. John Positano, OSA, Fr. Angelo
Allegrini, The Daughters of Mercy, The
Bertonazzi and Quinn families and many other
St. Mary Church parishioners worked together

to build this Catholic elementary school in the
farming community of East Vineland. The
school was built by the parishioners of the
community who believed passionately about
having a Catholic elementary school in their
farming community. Generations of local families continue to enroll. It is not uncommon to
see grandparents and parents who have
attended here now having their grandchildren
sitting in the very same classrooms as they did
as children.
At the outset, very few staffers were needed, but staff was added as classes were, and
today the staff numbers 40.
St. Mary School is among a growing number of Catholic schools that have added an
Advancement Director position that focuses
on enrollment and development. A mission
statement and logo was created and now all
marketing and programming is mission-centered. The family approach, smart planning,
transparency and data management has
allowed St. Mary School to grow enrollment to
300 students and the development of missionbased fundraising has allowed St. Mary School
to raise over $850,000 through the Annual
Fund and PTA functions in the past four years
alone. These funds have offset all student
tuitions, funded the 1:1 Digital Initiative, the
purchase of iPads and laptops, facility
improvements and upgrades like a new outdoor classroom and garden, new flooring, new
windows, insulation and ceilings, professional
development and funds tuition assistance to
families that qualify.
St. Mary School continues to be a leader
among area elementary schools and is committed to teaching students to be prepared for the
21st century. Through the years the school has
grown and adapted to curriculum changes that
meet or exceed the national, state and diocesan standards. What began as just a kindergarten and first grade has now evolved into a
Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth Grade elementary school. Growth in enrollment has
enabled the school to make improvements
such as an art room, media center/library, primary school resource room and library, a full
service kitchen, stage, gym, science lab, music
room, pre-school and band classrooms and
most recently an outdoor garden complete
with irrigation that supports STREAM education. STREAM is the acronym for Science,
Technology, Religion, Engineering, the Arts
and Math. As a Catholic school St. Marys has
taken the principles of STEM infused religion
across all subjects and added the arts to provide the creative thinking skills necessary to
communicate and advance STEM in the real
world.
STREAM will give St. Mary School students the needed skills to inquire, think, investigate and innovate to succeed and will prepare students for successful careers in the 21st
Century workforce.
St. Mary School continues to evolve both
inside and outside the traditional classroom
programs that meet the needs of todays students. Curriculum is regularly updated and in
light of the new Common Core Standards, St.
MILESTONES
Mary School has taken the best of the
Common Core to develop Math and Language
Arts curriculums along with a new science
curriculum based on Next Generation Science
Standards. Extra-curricular programs meet a
variety of interests and include a drama
department, music ministry, school band,
National Junior Honor Society, Student
Council, basketball, volleyball, cross country,
Homework Club, Library Club, Chess Club &
Yearbook Club to name a few.

8th St, Vineland, 856-507-0767. In 1995,
Antonio Romero opened up his own business in Vineland, Budget Mufflers and

of Vineland, he feels it is his duty to give

CONTES PASTA, 310 Wheat Rd.,

Vineland, 1-800-211-6607. In 1970, Angela
Conte came to America with her husband
Mario and their three children. Arriving in
New York, they moved to the Watertown suburb of Boston, MA. Coming from the Abruzzi
region of Italy, Angela brought with her the
time-honored traditions of generations past.
At a very early age, Angela had begun to
spend many hours in the kitchen watching her
mother and grandmother as they used their
hands to lovingly transform freshly-ground
semolina flour into mounds of fresh pasta
dough. Soon, she began to help. As the dough
was rolled out into sheets and cut by hand,
Angela learned the secrets of creating fine
pasta that would one day become synonymous
with the name Conte.
In 1975, Angela and her family moved to
Vineland. While she began making pasta for
neighboring families, the rest of her family was
working hard to help her realize a dream. Just
three years later, in 1978, Contes Restaurant
opened its doors.
The restaurant was an immediate success.
After several years, the family began to see
such a demand for their pasta that they felt it
was time to make a decision. Should they stay
in the restaurant business or devote themselves to the manufacture and distribution of

Contes Pasta?
With hard work and determination Angelas
son, Mike, made the decision to open and operate Contes Pasta Company. Through word of
mouth business grew steadily. It was no longer
just the neighbors picking up Contes Pasta; it
was now many fine restaurants in the South
Jersey and Philadelphia area who were buying
from Contes. As their popularity grew, Contes
full line of pasta and sauces began to appear on
supermarket shelves.
Mike Conte continued to develop new
products. Experimenting with different flavors
and various combinations of fillings, shapes
and sizes, he understood how important it was
to maintain the original pasta recipe that had
been steeped in generations of tradition.
True to his heritage, Mike knows the
importance of being directly involved in the
daily production of all Contes fine products.
The pasta that is freshly cut for you today is
the exact same pasta made from Angelas original recipe that is still used in the production of
Contes extensive line of fine pasta products.
Today, Angela is still in the kitchen at Contes
Pasta making her fresh tomato sauce. She and
Mike personally guarantee the quality and
integrity of every item manufactured at Contes.

JOES BUTCHER SHOP, 711 Gershal Ave.,
Elmer, 856-690-5637. Things have stayed
the same for the traditional small-town business that will mark 16 years this November.
And thats one of the reasons the shop is so
special. The other, says owner Joe Moro, is
the butcher shops loyal customers. Moro
opened the store when his previous employer
down the streetGoldsteins Meatsclosed
its doors.
When that place closed up, I decided to
open my own store, recalls Moro. And I
built this place; it was a vacant building.
Moro says he never expected the business
to expand as it has over the past 16 years.
I did not think it would turn out as large
as it did, he says. I thought maybe wed
have just a couple of employees. The business
has grown much more than Id ever imagined
and the customer base has been very loyal
and I still see some of the people in here that
I saw on day one when we opened.
There are very few stores around like this
anymore; old-time butcher shops, says Moro.
All the meat is fresh, we grind our own
meats here, and make our own sausages.
Everything is made here and is high quality.
L.A. MALE, 1164 E. Landis Ave., Vineland,
856-794-3000, has been in business for 22
years, but owner Larry Leonelli had a previous store in Absecon under a different name
for 10 years. That was after about 10 years
working in Vineland for other retailers. As
the Absecon area changed, Leonelli decided
to move his mens clothing and formal wear
business back home to Vineland.
He opened his first L.A. Male location at
Lincoln and Landis avenues in 1994. About
five years later he moved the store to La Salle
and Karen streets, where he was in business
for 15 years. Then more recently, Leonelli

made another change of address. Located
nearly across the street from the previous
incarnation, the new store is operated with
the same strong work ethic Leonelli has
employed during his decades in business

hard work, a lot of sacrifice, long hard hours.

Leonelli estimates L.A. Male is one of only
a handful of independently owned mens
clothing retailers in all of southern New
Jersey. Leonelli says the opening of the new
store is the biggest milestone of his career.
I started my career on Landis Avenue
back in 1974 and I get to finish it up on Landis
Avenue, he says. Ill finish where I started
and that was my goalto show that I could
come back into the community and make
something like this happen and I did it.

stay that way. When the Mauros first started it

work environment for all their employees.

phone or e-mail, which clients really appreciate. They immediately respond to and rectify
any customer complaints. They will continue

that the owners value their employees as
much as they do the clients. The business has
grown in every aspect. They just added their
100th regular service client in addition to the
other hundreds of customers. Each year they
have added services. They started out using
their own vehicle and now have two workonly vehicles. They have tripled sales since
their first year in business with little to no
marketing.
