In the Face of
Life Challenges…
Eagle Scout Robert Coxe displays bravery and
other Boy Scout tenets that have served him well.
obert T. Coxe Jr. can now say he has his own holiday. March 26

R was declared “Robert T. Coxe Jr.” day in Vineland by Mayor

Robert Romano, honoring the 19-year-old Millville resident who
has been an inspiration to his family and the community over the past
two years. Coxe was inducted into the Eagle Scouts on Saturday, March
27, at the Divine Mercy Parish 16 months after a car accident almost
killed him and left him with a traumatic brain injury.
He drove off the road in November 2009 while home on
Thanksgiving break from Rochester Institute of Technology, where he
was studying computers. He was found almost nine hours after the one-
car accident, which left him in a coma for three months. When he
awoke, he couldn’t walk, talk or eat. For the next year, he lived at the
Voorhees Pediatric Facility, where over time he rehabbed to regain his
motion, walking abilities and speech. Millville resident Robert T. Coxe Jr. was inducted into the Eagle Scouts on March 26 at the Divine Mercy
Parish in Vineland.

Eagle Scout
Continued from cover
While his rehabilitation is not over,
he goes on hoping. Coxe earned his
merit badges to receive the highest
honor in Scouting prior to his accident
as part of Troop 108. His community
project that was required for the honor
included remodeling the laundry room
of a Vineland women’s shelter.
Unfortunately, he was unable to go
through the Eagle Scout ceremony
before his accident.
His scoutmaster, William Graham,
who pinned Coxe during the ceremony,
{ 6 } the grapevine | APRIL 6, 2011
also spoke to the crowd of approximately
100 friends, family, scouts, and a large
contingent from the Voorhees rehabilita-
tion facility. Coxe continued to follow
the Boy Scouts tenets throughout his
rehabilitation, being an inspiration to
everyone around him to continue to be
strong physically.
“While teaching and learning are cer-
tainly a part of scouting, Rob’s strength
is from within,” said Graham during his
speech. “Rob has an enduring spirit; one
that cannot be developed through teach-
ing. He is brave to his very core, exhibit-
ing courage many of us can only dream
of.” Graham has known Coxe through
scouting since Coxe was 11 years old.
While rehabbing at the Voorhees
Facility, his years of scouting and focus
on community helped drive him to be
involved in doing things for the other
patients. He showed a sense of commu-
nity by giving back, by starting a recy-
cling program at the facility and a giving
tree for donations at Christmastime.
“The scout law,” said Graham, “one of
those is ‘the scout is brave.’ Whenever we
recite the scout law, I’m going to focus on
a ‘scout is brave’ and my thoughts will
turn to Rob because he really is remark-
able in his drive to get better.”
Coxe’s story has become an inspira-
tion to the younger scouts who attended
the ceremony. While many of them
Coxe takes the Eagle Scout oath at the
ceremony (above) and receives his Eagle
Scout badge from Scoutmaster William
Graham (below).
didn’t know Coxe because he was mostly
through the program before the younger
scouts moved up, several of the scouts
came up to Coxe to let him know he is
their inspiration.
“They can definitely see that Rob can
do it with all he has gone through, that
the Eagle Scout is more achievable,” said
Michelle Coxe, Rob’s sister.
He was congratulated and praised by
local politicians such as Assemblymen
Nelson Albano and Matt Milam who
called him a hero and an amazing young
man. Coxe also received letters from
President Obama and Michelle Obama,
George W. Bush, NASA, and even actor
Harrison Ford.
Coxe is still staying at the Voorhees
Rehabilitation Facility, but has high
hopes for the future. He wants to continue
his education, get a job and be as inde-
pendent as possible.
“It’s been a long journey since his
accident,” said Michelle. “He has just
had to work to get to where he is.” I

Center along with Eastern Pacific
Development, Brookfield Construction
and J.W. Pedersen Architect will be recog-
nized by the New Jersey Business &
Industry Associations at its 51st annual
Good Neighbor Awards luncheon on
Friday, June 3, in Edison.
The New Good Neighbor Awards
Luncheon annually brings together a
dynamic group of builders, architects,
engineers and others in the development
community to honor those responsible
for the state’s most impressive new com-
mercial construction and renovation proj-

With 22,000 member companies, NJBIA
is the nation’s largest state-level employers
association. New Jersey Business magazine
is NJBIA’s flagship publication.
There were over $ 1.7 billion in proj-
ect investments nominated this year. To
be selected out of this pool of nomina-
tions is indeed an honor, not only for
the Theater but also for Vineland and
its redevelopment efforts for Landis
Avenue, stated Hans Lampart, president

Back Home
For Now
Our soldier columnist reflects on his transition to life
back in the States after a tour in Afghanistan—and his
plans for the future.

T
hroughout my numerous col-
umn contributions, today’s
article is the first one I’ve
written since I’ve been
released from active duty. Being a civil-
ian again is extremely refreshing. I’m
not saying I dislike military service, but
taking a long break before my next
tenure is strongly needed. I returned to
the states not too long ago and my time
has been spent reuniting with family
and friends. In this column, I’ll touch on
some of my thoughts and experiences so
far since I’ve returned from
Afghanistan.
As I left Afghanistan, the departure felt
ing my driver’s license. Hitting the
ground running couldn’t be better.
Going through our post-deployment
assessments, we were cautioned of a
“transition” period before we would be
able to fully adjust back to normal life.
Maybe mine is still waiting to surprise
me, or perhaps it will never come.
Either way, I am enjoying living life as a
civilian once again.
Being home has been great. Although
things have changed quite a bit in my
life from when I left a year ago, my fam-
ily and friends have been there with
open arms to welcome me back. Getting
back into the swing of things couldn’t be

Vietnam were as appreciated as ours
are today.
Although at times my deployment
was difficult and I experienced my share
of excitement, it was nothing compared
to many who served in Vietnam. On most
nights, I got to sleep on a bed, had the
luxury of internet and phones, and expe-
rienced air conditioning. Their tours on
average were tougher, lacked the ameni-
ties we had, and in many cases, took
more casualties. However, their return
home was met with ungrateful citizens
spitting and booing them. It’s without Award-winning
heart care in your
doubt one of the darkest times in our
nation’s past.
Although the lessons were learned
and most citizens’ attitudes are a com-
plete 180 reversal from those times, it
doesn’t make it okay. We can never
fully repay Vietnam veterans for our
poor appreciation, but we should all
community
make attempts to acknowledge and
appreciate their services to our country
whenever possible.
As for my future, it’s kind of up in
the air. I’m returning to college on a
full time basis, hoping to finish within
the next year. I still have several more
years dedicated toward the Army. Two
years after I joined the military and
volunteered for the Afghanistan cam-
paign, I find myself possessing the
same patriotism and loyalty that moti-
vated me in the first place. As much as
I love being a civilian and enjoy living
my life, I’m sure I will find myself
deployed once again in a forward area.
Thank you for reading my articles
over the past year. If you have any

I Doe’s and Don’ts
{ PAUL J. DOE, FORMER PUBLISHER OF THE CUMBERLAND NEWS }
Weed Tactics
Weeds in the lawn aren’t so bad,
especially if you like dandelion salad.
Y
es, I know better. I know I
know better. Einstein defined
insanity as doing the exact
same thing over and over and
expecting a different result each time.
Newspaper people define insanity as
writing about the weather.
As you may recall, I was ranting in my
last column about the glories of spring in
southern New Jersey and how I was
going to dedicate myself to the greening
of my lawn.
Hah.
I had no sooner pushed the send button
on my computer [to submit that column]
than the sun disappeared, the clouds came
out, and the temperature dropped like
Obama’s approval rating.
Of course, by the time you read this,
the sun will probably be back and the
temperatures will once again be spring-
like.
But it’s too late. My “go green” resolve
has been damaged beyond repair.
The paper’s garden columnist, Ken
Taft, passed along an offer to mentor me
with some simple tips but I’m going to
pass on that and concede victory to the
weeds.
My new lawn care motto: If it’s neat
and green, who cares if it’s grass.
•••••
Actually, I’ve had a pretty busy two
weeks and haven’t had a whole lot of time
to sit around and watch the grass (or
whatever) grow. I went to the symphony
performance at the college a couple of
weeks ago, which was very enjoyable.
Symphony music, sadly, suffers from a
lot of misconceptions. The most common
of which is that it’s only for the highly
educated or wealthy. I, of course, am
neither. But I found it a lot of fun.
My only suggestion, and they actually
passed out cards for listeners’ comments,
was that they sell food during the inter-
mission.
Actually, I like a lot of different types of
music. My two most recent concerts, in
fact, were Jay and the Americans (a ’60s
group) at the Landis Theater, and Dolly
Parton in Philly.
Of the three, I would have to say that
the symphony was my favorite. The great
thing, for me, about symphony music is
that it takes your mind to wonderful places.
In fact, during the concert, I thought
about my Mom (a pretty good honky
tonk piano player) and my oldest grand-
daughter (she’s seven) who is studying
piano.
A few days after the concert, when I
was visiting my granddaughter I was
telling her about the symphony and she
informed me that she was writing a song
she had titled, “The Egyptian Waltz.”
With very little coaxing, she played
some of it for me. Somehow, I have to take
her to a concert.
I remember my Dad taking me (and me
taking my son) to see the Detroit Tigers. I
can still recall the sights and sounds of
that day.
I wonder if my granddaughter would
have the same feeling about going to see a
symphony perform. If you have a grand-
child with an interest in music it might be
a wonderful treat for you both.
Plus, when you figure in the cost of

probably isn’t any more expensive. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME

well as surrounding vicinities in South
Jersey and elsewhere in 19 States, starting
at 12:01 this morning.” The newspaper
added that residents purchased bottles of
beer for 8 to 15 cents each or glasses of the
{ 16 } the grapevine | APRIL 6, 2011
brew for 5 to 10 cents each in restaurants,
stores and clubs, and that sales began
immediately after midnight. There were
apparently no bells or whistles to summon
in the sales of alcohol in Vineland, only the
sound of empty glasses and bottles being
placed on tables and bars. The Evening
Times article also stated that there were no
arrests for drunkenness throughout
Vineland and Landis Township.
By the following day, the paper reported
that price wars were anticipated, with over
100 individuals selling beer in Landis
{ VINCE FARINACCIO }
Township. Nearby areas like Newfield and
Buena Vista Township were setting the cost
of a license at $20. By April 11, the Landis
Township Committee passed a resolution
that also required a $20 fee for 3.2 beer and
wine license.
In June, New Jersey became the fifth
state to ratify the amendment. Vineland and
the rest of the country enjoyed the limited
sale of alcohol until December, when the
21st Amendment repealed Prohibition. But
unlike neighboring Millville, which voted to
grant liquor licenses only days after Utah’s
ratification of the amendment on December
5 made it official, Vineland and Landis
Township chose to wait a bit longer to clari-
fy the terms of the State Liquor Control Act.
By December 20, the Evening Times
reported that the borough would grant
yearly liquor licenses. There would be a
limit of only four retail establishments and
six distributors, with respective fees of
$1,500 and $1,000. Club permits were a
mere $350. Criticism was leveled against
the limitations and fees, which residents
felt favored clubs. By December 26, all per-
mit fees had been reduced to $350 and lim-
its on the amount of retailers and distribu-
tors was lifted. On December 29, Landis
Township unanimously approved its Liquor
Act, which charged $350 for a retail license
and $200 for a distribution fee.
Coffey explains that the federal govern-
ment had spent $129 million enforcing pro-
civilians lost their lives in violent acts asso-
ciated with Prohibition, while better than a
half-million others were convicted for vio-
lation of the 18th Amendment and millions
of others had repeatedly broken liquor laws,
thereby creating a “diminution of respect
for all law.”
But the most telling point in Coffey’s
explanation is his description of New York
City following Utah’s ratification. The
author writes, “The police, after fourteen
years of tolerating speakeasies, had sudden-
ly begun raiding all those who hadn’t pro-
cured licenses. Since licenses had been
issued to only three thousand establish-
ments in the metropolitan area, repeal
brought an immediate drop of several thou-

Shorebirds like this Red Knot, a long-dis-
tance "champion" migrant, depend on
Delaware Bay for their survival.
Reserve Network (WHSRN) and a coali-
tion of Delaware Bay conservation groups,
the event will be held at the restored oys-
ter shipping sheds and wharves of the
Bayshore Discovery Project, Bivalve, Port
Norris, NJ. Henry M. Paulson, Jr., conser-
vationist and 74th Secretary of the U.S.
Treasury, will be the keynote speaker.
Twenty-five years ago, biologists, citi-
zens and political leaders came together
to recognize Delaware Bay as a Site of
Hemispheric Importance for migrating
shorebirds, marking the beginning of
WHSRN. Since then, this international
conservation strategy of designating
important breeding, stopover, and winter-
ing areas for shorebirds has grown steadi-
ly and now includes 84 sites in 13 coun-
tries spanning the entire hemisphere,
from Canadian Arctic to the tip of South
America.
The event will highlight the continuing
importance of the Delaware Bay’s natural
resources, not only as one of the world’s
top shorebird stopover sites but also as a
source of recreation and economic growth
for millions of residents of New Jersey,
southeastern Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
The Bay’s estuary includes more than
400,000 acres of wetlands, stretching
along the southwestern coast of New
Jersey and the coast of Delaware. As a
major stop on the Atlantic Flyway, the
Delaware Bayshore is a staging ground for
migratory shorebirds of six species,
including Red Knot, Ruddy Turnstone,
Sanderling, and Semipalmated Sandpiper.
The Bayshore and adjacent forest also
provide world-famous stopover habitat for
migratory passerines and raptors, and an
ecotourism industry valued in the tens of
millions of dollars. In addition, several
species of waterfowl congregate in large
numbers off-shore during the winter
months.
The Delaware Bay WHSRN Site of
Hemispheric Importance was dedicated
in May 1986 by proclamation of the
Governors of New Jersey (Thomas Kean)
and Delaware (Michael Castle). This
year’s 25th anniversary event recognizes
the vision and dedication of the founders
and early conservationists involved in
WHSRN, widely recognized as the most
effective flyway-scale shorebird network
in the world. The event also recognizes
WHSRN’s role today and that of a coali-
tion of conservation groups working to
ensure Delaware Bay’s future.
Looking ahead to the event, Mr. Paulson
expressed that he is pleased to take part in
the celebration. “Delaware Bay is an
important piece of our nation’s rich natu-
ral heritage,” says Paulson. “The collective
efforts of partners like the Western
Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network
and South Jersey Bayshore Coalition are
to be applauded for the conservation of
this treasured place.”
“Delaware Bay is vital to human well-
being and the natural world,” says Charles
Duncan, who directs WHSRN’s Executive
Office and leads the Shorebird Recovery
Project at Manomet Center for
Conservation Sciences. “We celebrate
those visionaries who, 25 years ago, creat-
ed WHSRN as a voluntary approach to
protecting the Bay and connecting it with
other important sites. The people of
Delaware and New Jersey can feel proud
about the vision and effort that have gone
into the stewardship of this important
site. In doing so, we are reminded again of
the Bay’s continuing importance and the
threats it faces. At the same time, trou-
bling new data about declines in shorebird
populations across the Hemisphere are an
urgent call to action to ensure that the
treasures of our coastlines and interior
wetlands continue in a vibrant future for
generations to come.”
“After 25 years, shorebird protection
has grown more difficult and vital to the
survival of many shorebird species like the
Red Knot,” adds Larry Niles of the
Shorebird Project and former chief of
New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection’s Endangered and Nongame
Species Program. “This event is truly a
celebration of the extraordinary interna-
tional conservation efforts for shorebirds
of the Delaware Bay stopover and the
many people that have worked together to
create real change.”
Niles appeared in the PBS Nature film
Crash: A Tale of Two Species, which
explored conservation efforts in Delaware
Bay for the Red Knot shorebird, whose
existence depends on horseshoe crabs.
The film was written, produced, and nar-
rated by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker
Allison Argo.
The anniversary milestone event will
bring together conservationists, political
leaders, scientists, birders, land managers,
media, and a variety of other attendees
who have an interest in the stewardship of
Delaware Bay. In addition to the former
Secretary of the U.S. Treasury as keynote

MASTER GARDENER
MEETINGS
You are invited to our monthly Master
Gardener meetings to hear some great
speakers and to share in gardening
experiences. We meet at the Rutgers
Extension Service building on Morton
Avenue in Rosenhayn at 11 a.m.
Upcoming topics are Green Turf
Management on April 12, Growing
Mushrooms on May 10, and Fleas,
Ticks and Mosquitoes on June 7.
For New Jersey residents who decide
they really don’t need the extra cold stor-
age, New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program
offers any state resident a $50 incentive
for having older, energy-wasting refrigera-
tors or freezers picked up (labor included)
and transported to a recycling plant.
Older refrigerators and freezers can
consume up to three times more electrici-
ty than newer models manufactured to
higher energy standards. Without them,
people can save up to $150 a year in elec-
tric costs.
“Besides consuming three to four times
the energy of newer, more efficient refrig-
erators, old refrigerators contain toxins
that pose a significant threat to the envi-
ronment when improperly discarded,” said
Board of Public Utilities President Lee A.
Solomon. “This program helps save energy,
protects the environment and offers resi-
dents a $50 rebate to schedule an appoint-
ment to have their appliance picked up.”
People taking advantage of the program
are also doing their share to protect the
environment. The old units are sent to an
East Brunswick de-manufacturing facility
operated by JACO Environment, a nation-
al provider of appliance recycling services.
JACO’s process includes the recycling of
nearly 95 percent of each refrigerator
including metals, plastic, oils and the foam
insulation. The foam removed from the
appliances contains chlorofluorocarbon
(CFC) gases which, if improperly disposed
of, can have harmful effects on the ozone.
JACO removes and bags the foam and
then has it incinerated where the heat
generated from the incineration process is
then used to create new energy.
To schedule a free, in-home pickup of a
refrigerator or freezer for recycling, New
Jersey electric customers can call 877-
270-3520 or visit NJCleanEnergy.com.
The program is limited to removal of two
units per household. Appliances to be
recycled must be in working order and
between 10 and 30 cubic feet using inside
measurements.

expensive quality beer has become. I believe
that there is supply and demand economics at
play here, since there is an increasing
demand in craft brews in this country.
According to the Brewers Association, overall
beer sales were down 1 percent in 2010, but
craft brew sales were up 11 percent.
Americans are waking up to the taste and
individuality of quality brews!
Since the beers that I was interested in
buying were pricier than I could reasonably
justify, it really inspired me to brew again.
Although I’d have to invest an initial amount
of money in equipment, I’d save significant
amounts in the long term since the equip-
ment will last many years if properly cared
for. And aside from the economic reasoning
for getting back into this hobby, it’s fun!
I’m going to be able to brew all different
styles, do some experimentation and have a
blast doing it. I’d always said that homebrew-
ing was the perfect hobby; it’s easy to do by
yourself or with a group of friends, it takes
much patience, and at the end of the six-week
long process, you have five gallons of a deli-
cious homemade beverage that can be
enjoyed by friends and family (over the age of
21, of course!).
At this point, I started researching home-
brew supply stores. There didn’t appear to be
any in southern New Jersey, from what I
could find, but after seeing an advertisement
in Ed Hitzel’s magazine, I found a spot in Egg
Leesa mills the grains at Tap It Homebrew Supply.
Harbor City called Tap It Homebrew Supply.
Jill and I (and Berkeley) decided to make a
trip over there last weekend to check it out
and to buy the equipment that we would need packet and yeast were taken out of the fridge.
to start brewing again.
After first getting a wonderful Indian
lunch at Feathers in Egg Harbor Township on
the Black Horse Pike (still desperate for an
Indian restaurant here in Vineland), we made
our way to Tap It. The shop is located on
Philadelphia Avenue (the main drag) in EHC,
and has a cute little storefront facing the
street. We walked inside, and the sweet smell
of malted grains filled my nose (brew stores
always smell like feed stores to me). There
were several people in the small shop already, son at 144 Philadelphia Ave, Egg Harbor City.

so I looked around while I waited. It
was amazing how the brewing
process came back to me as I perused
the short aisles. Seeing the buckets,
tubes, cappers, and grains made me
remember my days in SF. The fridge
full of yeasts and hops brought back
memories of brewing in the weeks
leading up to our wedding more than
five years ago.
The owner of Tap It, Shawn
Grigus, came up front to help out
and soon his assistant Leesa was
assisting us. I told her what we were
looking for, and she helped us get the
equipment and ingredients for our
first batch, an English Brown Ale.
The grains were crushed in the mill to break

 RESTAURANT PROFILE
Mori’s Restaurant
A new head chef, dinner and a movie deal, and $6 kids meals are big draws here.
ori’s Restaurant, 830 East
M Landis Avenue in Vineland is
becoming a high-end restau-
rant, but without the high-end
prices. They are still that family restau-
rant for your kids to get a delicious meal
or the restaurant to take a date for din-
ner and a movie. Under head chef Tony
Oliva, Mori’s is providing its customers
with the perfect meal and they are con-
tinuing to grow.
Over the last two weeks, the restaurant
expanded the menu to include more pas-
tas, fresh fish, and desserts. They

improved the bar menu and flat bread
options and are continuing to make the
menu even more homemade. While the
restaurant is trying to be higher end, it
still appeals to the families of the area,
hosting a $6 kids meal.
Mori’s Restaurant is not only great
throughout the week for lunch and din-
ner, but once a month it partners up with
the adjacent Landis Theater for a dinner
and a movie special. Each month, Mori’s
is decorated top to bottom with a theme.
Customers get a three-course meal at
Mori’s, then walk next door to a classic
movie that will bring back nostalgia.
Past dinner-movie deals included a St.
Patrick’s Day-themed menu paired with
the classic movie Some Like it Hot. Most
recently, the movie American English
based on the band The Beatles was part
of the dinner-movie combo.
“It’s fun to see a 50-year-old movie get
a standing ovation. The theater and
restaurant have to work together,” said
Frank Pettisani, owner of Mori’s. Pettisani
and Anthony Fanucci grew up on the
Avenue and are part of the Landis Theater
Board of Directors. It was only natural to
bring him into Mori’s Restaurant, opening
on November 20 for the public. The
restaurant retained the services of a
high-quality chef for the kitchen.
Oliva is no stranger to the restaurant
game. With 30 years experience, he has
cooked for Regis Philbin, several of the
hotels in Las Vegas, Merighi’s Savoy Inn,
and more. The food is so appetizing and
delicious that it keeps bringing the peo-
ple back to the restaurant for more.
“He’s the main reason we do so well,”
  said Pettisani of Oliva.

Business and Conservation Meet

Business owners learn how to work hand-in-hand with nature to protect natural assets needed to
survive as entrepreneurs...and as people on the planet. By Deborah A. Ein

Glenn Davila, president of Performance
Marketing addressed the GVCC women
about marketing a business.
Women Tap
Marketing Ideas
Glenn Davila, president of
Performance Marketing of Egg Harbor
Township, brought the message of
Marketing 101 to the Professional
Women’s luncheon held recently at
Cosmopolitan Restaurant. He reminded
the crowd that “marketing is not an
expense, it’s an investment.”
“Electricity, water, marketing—they are
all essential,” Davila said. He also
stressed the need to track sales, so that
you know what strategies are working
and which are not. A simple, well-
designed messsage, consistent from one
medium to another, is also key.
Facebook was discussed as a word-of-
mouth vehicle as well as a powerful tool
in search engine optimization, but like
anything else on the Web, depends on
freshness of content.
T
hursday, March 17, the day of the
GVCC’s most recent luncheon, was
a day to celebrate green. With it
being St. Patrick’s Day and the
official start of spring just three days away, it
was fitting that Director of the New Jersey
Nature Conservancy Barbara Brummer,
PhD., should address an overflow crowd at
Hampton Inn & Suites on the topic of “Value
of Natural Capital—How Business and Good
Conservation Succeed Together.”
We “consume” nature’s benefits through
a growing world population that “puts a lot
of pressure on our natural resources,” Dr.
Brummer said. “An expanding middle class

cesses. ServPro was represented by
Barbara Jones, and Lilliston Ford by
Stacey Lilliston, who uses YouTube and

percent of the valuable natural assets, fish-
eries more than 16 percent, and minerals
around 10 percent.
As an example of values, Brummer noted
that the closer your home is to a park or open
space, the higher the value of your home. If
the park is blighted and not kept to its highest
and best use, however, it will detract from the
value of surrounding properties. Brummer
referenced 13 Pinelands towns where the tax
increase was 42 percent lower than towns not
located within the Pinelands.
Chemical, a business that has agreed to
tally up the ecosystem costs and benefits of
every business decision and has invested
$410 million toward that end.
Locally, Brummer pointed to erosion-
control projects in southern New Jersey, as
well as the Conservancy’s Manumuskin
River and Gandy’s Beach land purchases.
The Delaware River, the longest undammed
river in the eastern United States, provides
drinking water and quality habitat to about
15 million people, she said..

“Rarely are these situations a one-state
deal; nature doesn’t work that way,”
Brummer concluded, referring to our man-
made boundaries.
The GVCC thanks the sponsors of its
March monthly luncheon: Bayada Nurses,
Comcast, and South Jersey Healthcare,
Bay-Atlantic Federal Credit Union and the
Rotary Club of Vineland. Participating ven-
dors were Bill Wahl Supply, Bayshore
Discovery Project, and Vineland Municipal
Utilities. I
