Nearly 40 donors gave nearly 30 pints of blood Tuesday, Sept. 4 at Purdy Collision Center in Galloway.

Reports of a depleted blood supply in South Jersey got the attention of former As-

semblyman Edward Kline, president of Kline Construction, who got his friend Galloway Mayor Don Purdy involved in the drive.

Purdy said 38 people gave 29 pints of blood.

Scalise was charged with burglarizing the “China Sea” restaurant in Absecon on Aug. 30, the Best Food In Town restaurant in Somers Point, the Great Wall II, Ginza and Super Buffet restaurants in Egg Harbor Township on Aug. 31, police said.

He was also charged with burglarizing the Macy’s De-partment Store in the Hamilton Mall on Saturday, Sept. 1 and charged with numerous counts of criminal mischief for using various objects to smash glass windows and display cases to enter the businesses.

Scalise and Garcia were both charged with being in possession of more than $100,000 in stolen property.

On Friday, Aug. 31, the Atlantic County Prosecutors Offi ce was contacted by inves-tigators from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, in Tampa, Fla., in reference to information that Scalise, a wanted fugitive, was currently in Galloway.

According to Florida inves-tigators, Scalise was wanted for committing more than 30 burglaries of Chinese restaurants in Hillsborough County. He also reportedly stole $35,000 in jewelry from a Tampa Sears store.

This information was dis-seminated to Galloway police detectives, who contacted Egg Harbor Township, Absecon, and Somers Point police detec-tives who were investigating recent Chinese restaurant burglaries.

Just after midnight on Sat-urday morning, Hamilton police alerted Egg Harbor Township police that $66,000 in watches was stolen during a burglary at the Hamilton Mall Macy’s.

During the investigation, Egg Harbor Township Offi cer Robert Sheppard located Scal-ise and Garcia at the Sunset Motel, 6615 Black Horse Pike. Both were arrested without incident, police said.

Police nab pair wanted in scores of commercial burglaries

Egg Harbor Township Po-lice Detectives Ray Theriault, John Heim, Mark Wagner and Cherie Burgan worked with Hamilton Township Police Detective Frank Schalek to re-cover all of the stolen watches from Macy’s.

During the investigation, Egg Harbor Township and Hamilton Township detectives also recovered the jewelry taken during the Sears bur-glary in Florida.

Somers Point, Galloway and Absecon detectives met with Egg Harbor Township Police detectives Saturday.

Scalise is also wanted in Idaho of aggravated assault with a weapon charges.

He was lodged in the Gerald L Gormley Justice Facility in lieu of $350,000 cash bail, but cannot be released until outstanding fugitive warrants in Florida and Idaho are ad-dressed.

Garcia was lodged in lieu of $100,000 cash bail.

Story submitted by Julie Hazard

GALLOWAY – As Greater Egg Har-bor Regional High School District’s Superintendent Dr. Steven Ciccariello welcomes back students and teachers to a new school year, changes in the district with regard to overall improvement will be taking place.

This will be a historic school year for the district as Cedar Creek High School will have its fi rst graduating class. Cedar Creek in Egg Harbor City, which opened in September 2010, joins Oakcrest and Absegami high schools as comprehensive 9-12 buildings with full academic, ath-letic and extracurricular offerings at all grade levels. All three schools now have their distinct sending districts: Hamilton Township sends to Oakcrest; Galloway Township sends to Absegami; and Egg Harbor City and Mullica send their students to Cedar Creek. Cedar Creek offers magnet programs in environmental science and engineering, as well, which are open to all district students.

Following a NJQSAC review, in January 2012, the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District was des-ignated as “High Performing” and has been certifi ed as providing a thorough and effi cient system of education by the New Jersey Department of Education.

The district continued to demonstrate positive High School Profi ciency Assess-ment results in language arts literacy with the highest total percent passing among juniors in regular and special education since the inception of the HSPA in 2002. The district has seen a HSPA improve-ment over the last two years in math, with the highest regular and special education student groups passing since 2002, as well.

The summer months were busy as ap-proved referendum projects were begun: partial roof replacement at Absegami and complete roof replacement at Oakcrest; fi re alarm system replacement at both Absegami and Oakcrest; and replacement of heating-ventilation-air conditioning units at Absegami.

The district is extremely proud of their annual summer professional de-

velopment opportunities for teachers. Approximately 120 teachers participated in grant-funded activities which included Rowan Math Science Partnership, inquiry based mathematics training with faculty from The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, Common Core Standards training, Labquest training for district science teachers, teacher training for a new Spanish program, subject specifi c advanced placement training, Naviance training, and continued training in Proj-ect Lead the Way.

The district offered a fee for service summer school program in algebra and geometry during the month of July for students who failed classes during the school year and needed to earn makeup credits. This was also available to stu-dents outside the district. Thirty-five students took advantage of the offering, with four out-of-district students attend-ing, as well.

The district’s internet connection has been upgraded to better facilitate student instruction utilizing multimedia and in-teractive resources located on the web. In addition, three antiquated computer labs at Oakcrest and Absegami were replaced with new more energy effi cient, small form-factor desktops.

The district will also transition to a “paperless” system for the issuance of student report cards and interim progress reports in the upcoming school year. Dis-trict parents will have to utilize the Parent Access system, a convenient home-to-school collaboration tool that will allow parents-guardians to keep track of their children’s academic progress online via an easy-to-use website. This will enable them to visit the password-protected site at any time to view their student’s schedule, assignments, grades, daily at-tendance, interim progress, report cards and course history. Parents who have not registered online previously must do so at www.gehrhsd.net, selecting “Par-ent Resources” tab and then “Genesis Registration.”

Several new course offerings are being implemented with the new school year:

Oakcrest: probability and statistics, history of rock and roll, documentaries:

fi lm and photo, honors physics. Abse-gami: web design, environmental sci-ence, abnormal psychology, supportive study skills.

Cedar Creek: year four for engineering magnet: engineering development and design, biotechnical engineering and year 4 for environmental magnet: ecological principles.

A number of key personnel appoint-ments were announced: Donna Blairs as district Director of Curriculum and Instruction; Zachary Wurcel as Vice Prin-cipal and Susan Foreman as Supervisor of Social Studies, ELL and Performing Arts at Oakcrest; Lauren Gunther as Supervisor of English-World Language-Reading-ELL and Jason Susko as Super-visor of Science at Absegami.

School Resource Offi cers have been hired for each of the three district high schools: James Wilcox at Oakcrest; Rich-ard Huenke at Absegami; and Edward Ottepka at Cedar Creek.

All SRO’s are retired police offi cers who possess experience in working in a school setting. They will provide an ad-ditional resource for students and staff, as part of the district’s priority to ensure their health, safety and welfare.

Ciccariello also outlined several goals for the new school year:

- Continue collaboration with Richard Stockton College and Atlantic Cape Community College to expand (dual enrollment) articulation between the schools.

- Training in the Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching, which will assist the district in meeting the State of New Jersey’s mandate to adopt an evi-dence-based teacher evaluation system. This framework will help the district to develop a common language about qual-ity teaching in preparation for the full implementation of the framework for the 2013-2014 school year.

- Expand academic and magnet pro-gram offerings in the district.

- Continue to provide and expand dis-trict capability for quality technological experiences for students.

GALLOWAY – Richard Stockton College of New Jersey offers a wide range of continuing professional educa-tion courses for public safety and security professionals.

The courses, which begin Sept. 12 and run through late fall, have been developed by

Stockton’s Center for Public Safety and Security.

The classes include frontline supervision training, cyber crime and evidence training, internal affairs investigation programs, tactical interview-ing, expert testimony, and serial offenders.

All classes are offered at the Galloway Township campus.

The center, established this year, is an academic initia-tive in partnership with New Jersey’s public safety and security sectors; dedicated to providing training, consulting and other resources in support

of professional excellence. It is committed to fostering a col-lective culture of profession-alism, purpose and doctrine across all law enforcement and public safety disciplines.

The Left’s Turn

Liberty and Prosperity.org

By SETH GROSSMANPolitical Columnist

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

– George Orwell, British journalist and author of

“1984” and “Animal Farm,” 1903-1950

In 1783, America won its inde-pendence from England after eight years of war. But our peace treaty with England got us into a new war with four Arab kingdoms (the Bar-bary States) on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa – Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli.

They were allies of the powerful Muslim Turks who conquered a big chunk of Eastern Europe and were only stopped at Vienna. While the Turks attacked Christian Europe by land, the Barbary States attacked by sea.

They gave “letters of marque” to Muslim sea captains (including European pirates who converted to Islam) to attack ships or villages of the non-Muslim countries they were at war with, and share their profi ts with the govern-ment. This made them lawful “privateers” (“corsairs” in French) rather than pirates.

These Muslim corsairs captured and en-slaved some 800,000 to 1.2 million Europeans during the 300 years between 1500 and 1800. They even raided villages in Ireland and Ice-land, since blond, blue-eyed women got the highest prices in the Turkish slave markets.

The Barbary corsairs outfought most Euro-pean navies at the time because money from the slave trade bought them the best ships and weapons. Arab ships moved faster and did not depend on wind or tide because they had both sails and oars manned by an endless supply of slaves. Muslim fi ghters were fear-less, since they believed they went to paradise, redeemed of all sin, if they were killed fi ghting non-Muslims.

By 1783, England, like most European nations, gave up fi ghting the Barbary States and paid “tribute” (bribes) to have its ships and coastal villages left alone. This protected American ships when we were part of the Brit-ish Empire. But the Barbary corsairs attacked our ships right after England recognized our independence.

In 1785, Thomas Jefferson, then our ambas-sador to France, tried, but failed to persuade Congress and the Europeans to fi ght the Bar-bara States, so America also paid tribute.

But the more we paid, the more the Barbary States demanded. Finally, in 1798, Americans said “Millions for defense! Not one cent for tribute!” Congress agreed to spend millions of dollars to build warships and a navy

academy in Annapolis, Md. Richard Somers of Somers Point, then 20 years old, was among the fi rst to enroll.

When Jefferson became president in 1801, he persuaded Congress to send our new fl eet to fi ght the Barbary corsairs. Richard Somers, then 23 years old, commanded one of those ships. The oldest ship commander was 30.

The youngest was 15.The experienced Europeans

ridiculed us, and predicted our quick defeat. But those young Americans astounded the world. In three years, they put three of the four Barbary fl eets out of action, and blockaded the last one in its home port of Tripoli.

On Sept. 4, 1804, Richard Somers and his entire crew were killed as they tried to sneak a ship loaded with

explosives into that harbor to destroy that fl eet.

Although he failed, Richard Somers inspired Americans and Europeans to continue the strug-gle. Within 12 years, we ended the Muslim slave trade in the Mediterranean once and for all.

America’s struggle with slavery overseas also inspired many Americans, including Benjamin Franklin, to demand the end of slavery in this country. Slavery was ended in all federal ter-ritories in 1787, and in all Northern states soon afterwards. The importation of new slaves was outlawed in 1808.

When efforts to free slaves in the remaining Southern states failed, many in the North, like Abraham Lincoln, organized to contain, and then end it. Others helped slaves like Frederick Douglass escape from the South. Anger at this “anti-slavery agitation” in South Carolina started the Civil War in 1861.

This Sunday, Sept. 9, LibertyAndProsperity.org and the Somers Point Historical Society will remember Richard Somers with a ceremony at 2 p.m. at City Hall, New Jersey Avenue and Shore Road in Somers Point, rain or shine.

Somers story an important lesson in American history

By HARRY HURLEYPolitical Columnist

Here is an important potential political issue that before now I was unable to reveal publicly because my sources shared it with me in the strictest confi dence for deep background pur-poses only.

However, www.PolitickerNJ.com has recently broken some of the news and my well-placed sources have now released me to be able to report about it.

The issue still remains a big “if,” – but, if Assemblyman John Amodeo does not run for re-election next year, the political/electoral rip-ple effects will be signifi cant.

There is a strong possibility that Amodeo may leave the New Jersey Legislature early in 2013 to take a senior leadership position with the South Jersey Transportation Authority. If this occurs, I have confi rmed that former New Jersey Assemblyman Vince Polistina is very interested in returning to the state Legislature.

Polistina was a highly effective and talented legislator. He is a proven fundraiser, who pos-sesses more state knowledge than anyone else in District 2.

However, make no mistake about it, while Polistina is the most qualifi ed, and the most deserving in my view, there is already heavy competition lining up.

Atlantic County Freeholder John Risley wants it. Risley came excruciatingly close about fi ve years ago to winning a Republican nomina-tion for the General Assembly.

Another Atlantic County freeholder, Alex Marino, also quietly has his eye on a potential run for the Assembly. Marino is working behind the scenes to try and line up support should the vacancy occur. Marino possesses a huge likeability factor, but this may be too much, too soon.

Since we’re talking about building theoretical state Assembly candidate “stew,” let’s throw in a few more ingredients.

Atlantic County Freeholder Board Chairman Frank Formica is running for re-election Nov. 6 for his current 2nd District seat, so we’re not going to see him look beyond his current elec-tion cycle. But I am placing Formica into this discussion for purposes of potential scenarios that may unfold in the future.

Formica has been a very effective and hard-working legislator. He was fi ercely loyal to Polistina last year during his run against state Sen. Jim Whelan, D-2nd.

My gut tells me that Formica will not make a hard run at Polistina – because believe it or not there are a handful of people still left in electoral politics who have integrity and remain loyal. How refreshing.

A potential dark horse candidate could be

Maureen Bugdon, president of the Atlantic City Race Course and Favorites off-track bet-ting center in Vineland. Bugdon, a member of the Atlantic County Board of Elections, is also vice chairwoman of the Atlantic County Republicans, and vice president of the Hamilton Township Republican Club.

Bugdon is one of the most honest and decent public servants you will ever fi nd. She knows a lot about horse races. This would be an altogether different turf to run on. And, much more treacher-ous.

Initially, all roads lead to Polistina. One of the fi rst and biggest keys to Polistina winning this seat will be his need to retain the support of Egg Har-bor Township Mayor James “Sonny”

McCullough. Egg Harbor Township controls the largest block of committee delegates and county committee members.

Just for fun, I’m going to toss Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson into the conversa-tion. New Jersey State Senate President Steve Sweeney has publicly stated that Atlantic County is the best run county in the state. High praise coming from the state’s top Democratic elected offi cial. The truth is that Levinson has earned the best position in Atlantic County. He could have been a state representative years ago had he wanted it.

The timing of this is critical. All of this can be easily politically managed.

If this goes down, Amodeo will not exit until after the cutoff date that would necessitate a special election. In other words, the process would ensure that the vacancy occurs at such a time whereby the Republicans will be able to assemble a county convention and only the county committee members will vote to select an interim assemblyman. This person will then take offi ce immediately and serve for almost an entire year, without a special election being required.

Earlier I mentioned that all roads lead to Polistina. In the pecking order of municipalities that the successful candidate will need to earn to win the seat, Egg Harbor Township sits at the very top. Egg Harbor Township has become the Republican “King-Maker” in Atlantic County.

If Polistina can earn the support of Egg Harbor Township, Hamilton Township and one other city, (say Somers Point), he will be the next Assemblyman, again.

In District 2, all roads lead to Polistina

By NORM COHENPolitical Columnist

The Coalition for Peace and Justice and the UNPLUG Salem Campaign (nuclear power watchdogs) will be participating in the Town of Hammonton’s fi fth annual Green Day Festival, scheduled for noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 16 on the grounds of St. Joseph’s High School, 328 Vine St.

The Green Day festival has grown every year with more than 700 people attending in 2011. Volunteers are welcome to help staff our table or just stop by to sign up for the Coalition email or “snail mail” lists.

We will have peace and environ-mental buttons, bumper stickers and fl ags for sale as well. You can also check out our peace fl ags on the Coalition for Peace and Justice website or the Coalition for Peace Action website.

That this festival is being held in Hammonton, long considered to be a Republican stronghold, should not

come as a surprise. The environment should not be an issue that only we left-wingers care about. Pollution doesn’t know left from right.

As an example, the ACUA (Atlantic Coun-ty Utilities Authority) has led the way for this county in solar and wind power, alternative fu-els and recycling. The ACUA hosts the yearly Earth Day, and is on the forefront of pro-environment activities all year round. So, even though politi-cally Atlantic County is controlled by the Republicans, they have been supportive of pro-environmental actions.

After all, the environment is very important to a county that relies on tourism for much of its economic success. Supporting the environ-ment should be non-partisan, be that locally or at the state and national levels.

Investing in the environment cre-ates jobs, too. Installing solar panels or building wind farms like the one

at ACUA creates jobs as well.

The Hammonton fes-tival is organized by the Hammonton Green Committee, a Hammon-t o n Tow n c o m m i t t e e formed fi ve years ago to work with local residents on reducing the town’s

carbon footprint and achieving long-term environmental sustainability.

On Green Day, the aim is to high-light positive solutions to the many environmental problems facing us. In addition, the festival aims to demonstrate that seemingly global issues, like climate change, have local impact.

In addition to helping to start a local farmers’ market and “shop- and eat-local” campaigns, the Green Committee has teamed up with the local theatre to offer an “Eye-

Opening Film and Lecture Series,” featuring thought-provoking topics. How local people are effected by the issues are discussed.

The Green Committee is currently engaged in a number of environmen-tal campaigns to eliminate plastic bag use and increase local wildlife habitat, as well as water conserva-tion (to protect our Kirkwood-Co-hansey aquifers) and green building practices.

Last year, Hammonton was certi-fi ed as a sustainable community by Sustainable Jersey, the pre-eminent certifi cation panel sponsored by the New Jersey League of Municipali-ties.

Although the festival is primar-ily environmental in focus, organiz-ers also aim to show the connections between respectful relations between peoples and a resulting benefit to our planet and other species. Thus Coalition for Peace and Justice’s emphasis on non-violent solutions to the problems of nations forms part

of that pattern of improved living on the planet.

For more information on Hammon-ton’s fi fth annual Green Day Festival, please contact Festival Chairman Dan Bachalis at (609) 516-5115 or see http://hammontongreencommittee.com/events/green-day/. Thanks to Dan for much of the information and content of this week’s column.

If your town is planning to hold a fall festival or other community event, we at the Coalition for Peace and Justice would be honored to be invited to participate. Please contact me at the phone number or email ad-dress below.

Make WHP interchange

a top priorityTo the editor:

On Aug. 27, representatives from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority visited Galloway to present the current plans for the Garden State Parkway reconstruction to Exits 41 (the rest area) and 44. People in at-tendance voiced concerns over priorities and some suggested that the authority should be focusing on constructing a

Time for Lucarelli to go

To the editor:According to the latest Gal-

lup poll, the United States Congress has a 16 percent

Action needed now to avert

economic collapse To the editor:

“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect Tax-es… To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of for-eign Coin, and fi x the Standard of Weights and Measures.”

Such obligations were spe-cifi cally granted to our elected representatives within Article I, Section 8 of our U.S. Con-stitution by our prescient fore-fathers.

Here’s a dirty little secret. The latter obligation was ceded to our banking system in 1913 when Congress and President Woodrow Wilson legislated and signed the Federal Reserve Act. More recently, mostly under the radar, almost all congressional Republicans and a few Democrats endorsed a pledge to unelected, anti-tax guru Grover Norquist not to raise taxes under any cir-cumstances, in effect ceding their power to lay and collect taxes. Hmmm.

Now, a dysfunctional, ob-structionist Congress refuses to pass any legislation, includ-ing jobs bills proposed by our White House, intended to extricate our nation from her economic doldrums. Further-more, a doomsday scenario, like the Sword of Damocles, will sever the tenuous lifeline of our fragile economy on Jan. 1 if a federal budget is not passed. Draconian spending cuts and tax increases will au-tomatically kick in, bleeding an already anemic money supply, creating a severe recession and perhaps a depression.

Due to this further abdication of Congress’s fiscal respon-sibilities, industrial leaders, in such a climate of uncer-tainty, refuse to expand, refuse to hire, in effect put opera-tions on hold, further straining America’s sputtering economic engine. What to do?

President Obama should spend quality time while in campaign mode, let “We the People” know of these gross derelictions of duty by the Republican-controlled legislative branch of our government. Primetime TV would be the most appro-priate venue for his fireside chats reminiscent of FDR. He must encourage ordinary folks to demand action, not obstruc-tion of the political process.

Obama should delineate a bold agenda, include a hefty job-creating stimulus package, encourage ordinary citizens to contact their congressional rep-resentatives, both Republican and Democrat, albeit on the campaign trail, demand they support the expansion of our less-than-adequate circulating money supply, hold their feet to the fi re; and not let them abet the economic collapse of this wonderful nation by inaction.

Indeed, our forefathers did not intend fl edgling America to yet again be controlled by a king, thus they created a separation of powers within the U.S. Constitution. Surely, they did not anticipate that the legislative branch would devolve over time, cede its

White Horse Pike full inter-change.

With Galloway attempting to spur economic develop-ment, a top priority of all elected offi cials should be the construction of a Garden State Parkway/White Horse Pike full interchange. Any traffi c engineer would acknowledge that two-lane roads such as Jimmie Leeds, Pomona and Moss Mill are not designed to handle an enormous amount of traffi c. Therefore, much of that traffi c should be routed to the White Horse Pike.

Investing taxpayer money in road and transportation safety improvements for a full White Horse Pike inter-change would be money well spent. The interchange would provide easy access to Route 30 east and west, which would result in placing traffi c where it should be. These improve-ments would help provide the infrastructure needed to attract quality developers to the White Horse Pike. Offer-ing tax breaks to developers

cannot make up for a lack of infrastructure.

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority’s chief engineer, Rich Raczynski, states in the Atlantic City Press: “Basi-cally the plan itself is set in stone at this time. It’s been in discussion for many years (with local officials). The administration has changed in Galloway Township recently. I don’t think the message has gotten to the public.”

Unfortunately, this state-ment demonstrates that all of our elected offi cials’ priorities are not the same. It’s time for everyone to get on the same page.

monetary responsibilities to bankers, and refuse to carry out its fi scal responsibilities in the best interests of America’s citizenry.

We can only hope a hastily organized grassroots effort will begin to fi x what is broken. It is up to our current president to urge such a response – not tomorrow, but now.

Color game is pathetic

To the editor:Harry Hurley, the greatest

divider I have ever experienced in my life, is now paranoid about colors, and how the me-dia is dividing the American people. One color is good, one is bad, and colors are sublimi-nal. Again Hurley cannot talk about what his right wing party stands for. Even Fox news called Paul Ryan’s speech the most dishonest ever.

The Republicans said they will not let fact checkers get in their way. In other words, they can say anything and the base will gobble it up, even lies. Hence we have a color game. How pathetic.

approval rating. Americans across the political spectrum view Congress as a hyper-partisan body which cannot address any of the issues currently facing our country.In Galloway Township, we too have hyper-partisan lead-ers who are more concerned about their own political capi-tal than doing what’s best for the community.

As a registered Republi-can, I am disappointed by the Galloway Republican League’s municipal leader, Terry Lucarelli. Ms. Lucarelli is such a partisan that there was speculation that Mayor Don Purdy may start his own Republican club because Ms. Lucarelli has been a detriment to our community and, ac-cording to a Galloway News website, to the community at Four Seasons.

People would have more faith in the political system if leaders like Terry Lucarelli were out of politics. For the good of the Republican Party and Galloway Township as a

whole, Ms. Lucarelli should resign.

Serafi no Rocko Cosentine of Beesley Point left, sits next to his daughter Carol Cosentine after he receives his honorary Rolling Thunder vest on Tuesday, Sept. 4.

WWII veteran honored by Rolling Thunderweek celebrated his 93rd birthday, served fi ve years overseas in the 3rd Ar-my Artillery. The Battle of the Bulge lasted from Dec. 16, 1944 to Jan. 25, 1945.

For the Americans, with about 610,000 men commit-ted and some 89,000 casual-ties, including 19,000 killed, the Battle of the Bulge was the largest and bloodiest battle that they fought in World War II.

More than 16 mil-lion served in the armed forces of the U.S. during World War II and more than

400,000 died, At the end of the war, the U.S. govern-ment was unable to recover and identify approximately 79,000 Americans. To-day, more than 73,000 are unaccounted for from the confl ict.

“It is said that 700 WWII veterans die every day; these hero are in fact a dying breed,” said Paul Berenotto, chapter president.

“Our members have to earn these patches. It’s earned through time. It takes up to 15 months to get one,” Berenotto said, noting the veteran accompanies the group on Veterans Day to visit veterans in the hospital and is a nurse favorite.

Cosenine is still active in the Delaware Valley Chapter of Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge and also the White Richard Memorial American Legion Post 925 in Philadelphia.

M A R G AT E — P o o d l e skirts, saddle shoes, leather jackets slicked back hair will be the fashion hits of the day Sunday, Sept. 9 when the Arc of Atlantic County Spotlight Players take the stage for their annual show.

“A Fifties Sock Hop” is a fun time that the cast, staff and volunteers under the direction of Rebecca Eisele of Egg Harbor Township have worked on months to put together.

Program Administrator Kathi Lentz of Mays Landing said there are 22 numbers in the show and three ensem-bles. “Everyone is working so hard on the show and the music is just great, it will be a lot of fun,” said Lentz.

The Spotlight Players, a performing arts club for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, work all year with staff and volunteers. The goal is to instill self confi dence, help them set goals and overcome their fears, make friends and understand what it is like to be a part of a group all while learning the basics of the theater. The members of the

group come from all over Atlantic County.

The show features fun songs from the 1950’s includ-ing Sheb Wooly’s “Purple People Eater” and the Chor-dettes “Lollipop.”

American Bandstand back in the day had an applause meter and the audience would pick the best act with their applause. The show will fea-ture an updated version of the meter and the audience will have a chance to pick their two favorites.

But every member of the cast is the winner and a few gold records just might be earned Sunday.

This will be the ninth per-formance of The Spotlight Players Group since they debuted in 2007. Eisele said, “One of most dedicated vol-unteers, Jim Fogle of Pomo-na, came up with this Fifties Sock Hop theme in the fall of 2011, but sadly passed away before his dream could be realized. We’re thrilled to be carrying on his idea with this year’s show. His wife Lynn is an important source of help and is very dedicated to the show. Her love of music from the 1950s is driving its success – we’re looking forward to a great

performance!”The curtain goes up at 2

p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9. Tickets are $4.

The Katz JCC is located

at 500 N. Jerome Avenue in Margate. For more informa-tion on the show or the Arc of Atlantic County visit www.arcatlantic.org

GALLOWAY – The Noyes Museum of Art of Stockton College will present an artist talk by Joanie Gagnon San Chirico 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 13. San Chirico is a Noyes Signature Artist whose work is on view Friday, Sept. 7-Sunday Nov. 25.

She will address “Art in Public Spaces.” When you walk in to a public building such as

a library, corporate offi ce, a hospital or a hotel, have you ever wondered who makes the art that’s hanging on the walls? San Chirico will discuss and present slides explaining how she completes commissioned work for public spaces.

A full-time studio artist with an extensive ex-hibition record, she integrates her love of stitch with her fascination with the past, constructing modern abstract art from ancient imagery.

San Chirico often showcases natural surfaces using imagery which is meant to remind the

viewer of what could potentially be lost from nature. Using various pigments, dyes, stitch-ing and manipulation of cloth, paper and paint in many of her pieces, she operates under the philosophy that “art is mysterious in design and reverent in interpretation.”

She is also an independent curator who has created exhibits of fi ber art in New Jersey, Texas and New York City.

Noyes Signature Artists is an exhibition of works including paintings, sculpture and mixed media. An opening reception with the artists is planned 5-8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5. Admission is $5 for adults. Seniors 65 and older pay $4. Students with ID pay $4. Admission is free for Stockton students, members and children 6 and under. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

For information call (609) 652-8848 or see www.noyesmuseum.org.

EGG HARBOR TOWN-SHIP – Call it religion road. Ocean Heights Avenue has become a hub for area churches — there are already seven different con-gregations located there in the 8-mile stretch between Harbor Avenue and Steel-manville Road, and that’s not counting the eight other churches that are located two miles or less away from the county road.

And this fall, two more are being added to the mix, bringing the number of options for those seeking religious guidance and fel-lowship on Ocean Heights Avenue to nine.

Living Waters Christian Fellowship

The Living Waters Christian Fellowship of Absecon will begin renting space from at the Praise Tabernacle Church at 2235 Ocean Heights Avenue and will host its fi rst Sunday night service at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 23.

The church had been sharing space with another church along 2nd Avenue in Absecon for seven years, according to church spokes-person Kimberly Spence of Egg Harbor Township.

“We had been there for seven years and just fi nished our lease this summer,”

Places to worship grow in EHTSpence said, noting the timing is fortuitous for the church. “This is our eighth year and in the Bible, the number eight symbolizes new beginnings. We are overjoyed and really excited about the move.”

Living Waters’ members, most of whom live in Gallo-way, will need to travel extra distance for their weekly worship, but Spence said she hopes the Sunday night services will be convenient. The congregation had been meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday nights. “Sunday night there is less going on, less competing events. It’s more of a school night,” she said. “We know we may be losing some people who can’t drive our here, but hopefully we will pick up some new mem-bers,” she said.

Living Waters is a “non-denominational, charismatic Christian fellowship” under the direction of Pastor Joseph Bolona. According to the church’s website, ser-vices blend traditional songs and themes with contempo-rary ones.

Church after it relocates to its new location in the old painters’ union hall at 2116 Ocean Heights Ave. later this fall.

Pastor Blake Spencer said the move and name change is nothing new to the congre-gation. “This is the fourth time in our history that we’ve merged or moved,” he said, noting the changes were either precipitated by a drastic decrease in member-ship or because of a surge. “We merged with the Somers Point congregation because our numbers were in decline. Then, we moved into the church in Pleasantville be-cause we needed more space. We outgrew our old building. Now, we are hitting a decline again. We have found our-selves in the cycle that many older denominational church-es fi nd themselves in. But, if we don’t take a risk to move and change our mindset, then we risk dying out.”

The congregation – typi-cally between 40 and 60 on a weekly basis – is dwin-dling in part because of their location, Spencer said.

“It has become clear our particular congregation is not serving the immediate neighborhood where we are. This could be for a variety of reasons. We have worked to fi gure them out, but there is something about us that is not meeting that need.”

Spencer said the new Egg paparonehomes.com

Harbor Township location offers more promise.

“The way we see it is we will be a unique congrega-tion in EHT. We will be one of the very few in that area that are denominationally-affi liated. Our style of wor-ship is liturgical, traditional and beautiful. But we also are progressive,” he said, adding that the church does a considerable amount of mission work.

The idea of being pro-gressive is two-fold for the

church, he explained. They invite and involve Chris-tian worshipers who are in various stages in their “faith journey,” meaning they are open to those who have doubts and questions about their religion. The church also is inclusive of all ethnicities and sexual orientation.

“We have a small number of gay members, and I am one of them. This church means what it says. A lot of families are hurting and been hurt by their churches because they are gay or they have children or grand-

children who are gay. We hope to provide a refuge for people who have been un-able to fi nd a place in their church.”

While no offi cial date has been set for the move, the small congregation has been working to renovate the space. “We hope to be in by the last Sunday of October which is Reforma-tion Sunday,” he said. Until then, they will continue to worship at the large church they own at 1311 S. Main Street.

EGG HARBOR TOWN-SHIP - A New Hampshire woman who was criminally charged for her role in a Tues-day, Aug. 28 car accident in Pleasantville in which her hus-band died was arrested again on Wednesday, Aug. 29 on several theft charges by Egg Harbor Township Police during a fol-low-up investigation into the car accident.

Allison Hawks Nasta, 28, of Manchester, N.H. was arrested and charged for being in pos-session of thousands of dollars worth of stolen property that has since been associated with at least eight recent residential burglaries in Atlantic County.

Offi cer Jonathan D’Augustine and Sgt. Steven Swankoski were assisting the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Offi ce in investi-gating the fatal accident when they visited the Nasta’s room at the Hampton Motor Lodge in the West Atlantic City sec-tion of Egg Harbor Township and found numerous pieces of jewelry, computers and other electronics, safes, collectibles, cameras and personal identifi ca-tion belonging to other people.

Township Detectives Reynold Theriault and Heather Stumpf responded to the room. A sub-sequent investigation linked the stolen property to eight residential burglaries, in three Atlantic County towns: Mullica, Galloway and Linwood.

The township police shared the information with other towns’ police departments and turned the stolen property over to their detectives.

The police have identifi ed the owners of most of the property that was recovered, however they are still in possession of several pieces of costume jewel-ry and cameras that are believed to have been stolen sometime over the past few weeks in At-lantic County.

According to Acting Atlantic County Prosecutor Jim Mc-Clain, Nasta has also been criminally charged in connec-tion with her husband’s death Tuesday as well.

She was charged with hinder-

ing apprehension, obstruction of the administration of law, driving while having a suspended driver’s license (and being involved in a fatal accident) and possession of drug paraphernalia. Nasta has also been charged with numerous motor vehicle violations.

According to police, Nasta was operating the vehicle when it collided with a utility pole, killing her husband William Nasta, 34, who was riding in the front passenger seat.

While traveling westbound on the Black Horse Pike, she lost control of the vehicle between Chestnut Avenue and Route 9 in Pleasantville, resulting in the vehicle crossing lanes of traffi c and colliding with a pole on the passenger’s side.

The couple’s daughters, a fi ve-year-old daughters and a 3-month-old, who was in a car seat, were seated in the rear of the vehicle during the crash. The children and driver sustained non-life threatening injuries and were transported to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, where Nasta was later arrested by the Prosecutor’s Office. She had been processed and released on summons to appear in court, but is now being held at the Gerald L. Gormely Justice Facility on $150,000 cash bail.

These charges are merely an accusation and not proof of guilt. In all criminal cases, a charged defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. Anyone with informa-tion involving serious crimes is asked to call the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Offi ce at (609) 909-7800 or go to the Prosecutor’s Offi ce Web site athttp://www.acpo.org/tips.html and provide information by fi lling out the

form anonymously on the Submit a Tip page. People can also call Crime Stoppers at (609) 652-1234 or (800) 658-8477 (TIPS) or visit the Crime Stoppers Website at http://www.crimestoppersatlantic.com/. Crime Stoppers offers cash rewards for information lead-ing to the arrest and indictment of those who commit crimes in Atlantic County.

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP – An arrest has been made and operations have returned to normal after a bomb threat cleared all three campus of Atlantic Cape Community College on Tuesday, Sept. 4.

Atlantic Cape reopens, arrest made after threat

ment released by the college.College security was noti-

fi ed, which contacted Town-ship of Hamilton police, who recommended the college close its campuses so law enforcement authorities could search all three sites.

Police got the call at 11:20 a.m. The investigation com-menced a short time after the initial police response.

K-9 units from the Township of Hamilton police, Stockton College police, the Cumber-land County Sheriff’s Offi ce, Camden County Sheriff’s Of-fi ce, Salem County Sheriff’s Office, Cape May County Sheriff’s Office, Gloucester County Sheriff’s Offi ce, and the Washington Township Po-lice Department assisted at the scene along with the Township of Hamilton Rescue Squad.

ABSECON – The city will be going to the dogs, literally, during the inaugural run-ning of the Absecon Business & Commercial Development’s Downtown Fair’s Pet Parade on Saturday, Sept. 15.

The parade will feature costumed-dressed dogs in three classes: under 25 pounds, over 25 pounds and a group of three or less.

The parading pooches can be dressed as creatively as possible as they wow Downtown Fair crowds and compete for prizes, organiz-ers say.

“The sky is the limit,” said spokesperson Vicki Phillips, owner of the Animal House Grooming and Pet Supplies, one of the event sponsors. “Everybody should be as creative as possible.”

Phillips said Absecon First Lady Joanne Elco mentioned the idea of having a pet parade to Phillips.

“I thought it was a wonderful idea,” Phillips said. “There is really nothing else like it in South Jersey.”

Phillips, who was born in Culpepper, Va., said there are many activities for dog owners and their pets to enjoy in other states.

“But there’s really not that much in South Jersey,” she said. “There is a bar in Asbury Park that has a “Yappy Hour” where pet owners can bring their pets.”

Phillips hopes the parade will start a trend.“I don’t think there are enough events around

here that let pet owners get involved with their pets,” she said. “People love their pets and want to take them to functions and to do something fun with them.”

Though Phillips is a fan of all pets, the Down-town Fair Pet Parade is focusing on dogs.

“They are easier to walk,” she said. “You can’t really put a cat on a leash.”

Then Phillips thought for a moment. “However, we won’t discriminate if someone

shows up with a ferret or a pot belly pig,” she

said with a giggle.Phillips said organizers are hoping a fi eld of

50 canines show up to strut their stuff and wag their tails.

“It just doesn’t have to be Absecon residents,” she said. “The more the merrier. They can come from all over.”

Phillips said the dogs may be pulled along in a wagon, a stroller or any non-motorized cart.

“I would suggest that everybody Google the topic pet costumes and see what’s out there,” she said. “There’s so much from homemade to bought costumes.”

Each winner will receive a grooming certifi -cate from the Animal House, she said. Other prizes are a $25 gift certifi cate from Absecon Veterinary Hospital and a free photo shoot from Absecon Artistic Photography.

The Pet Parade registration will begin at 10 a.m. on New Jersey Avenue and in front of the Absecon Gardens project, Phillips said. The parade will begin at 10:45 a.m. and travel down New Jersey Avenue to the Absecon Historical Society and back.

“That way everybody gets two chances to look at the dogs and their costumes,” Phillips said. “We should be all wrapped up by 11:30 a.m.”

Though registration is free, entrants are asked to donate pet food to the Kibble Cupboard, At-lantic County’s Pet Food Bank, Phillips said.

“There are many people who are deciding to get rid of their pets because they no longer can afford to feed them,” Phillips said. “This helps out.”

People may register their entries into the Pet Parade at the Animal House, 229 White Horse Pike, Absecon; or by emailing [email protected] or by mailing a form to Pet Parade, 40 W. Nevada Ave., Absecon.

The Absecon Business & Commercial Development’s Downtown Fair’s Pet Parade is sponsored by Absecon Veterinarian Hospital, Animal House Grooming & Pet Supplies, Ar-tistic Photography Studio and Mayor Pete Elco and his wife, Joanne.

We built here in 1869.”She said the move from

west to east Moss Mill Road might have been because the congregation outgrew the older church.

“They didn’t keep records as they do today,” Higbee said. “A lot of this I got from the older people.”

But while celebrating its past – which includes being associated with a number of other denomi-nations – Emmaus United Methodist Church has been accumulating tech-nology.

“The church has wifi ,” Green said. “We got that at the beginning of this year to access any infor-mation. People can take notes during service.”

Duberson said the wifi was also for Boy Scout Troop 77 which meets at the church and also has a movie screen and projection units.

Her grandmother assured her that cats are intelligent.

“They’re smart,” she said. “They’re too smart to sit and do homework.”

Lorraine Hamid of Gal-loway also volunteers on Sat-urdays.

“I love the cats,” Hamid said. “I love volunteering here. You get a chance to play with the kittens. They’re so loving.”

Her favorite, she said, was Francine Blue Eyes. The card on her cage notes that Francine “gets along with other cats.”

“She’s 4 years old,” Hamid said. “She’s really a good cat. She’s docile, playful and loving.”

Other cards indicated where cats are good with things such as people or dogs.

“If it doesn’t say, it doesn’t mean they’re not,” Hamid said. “They might not have been in a house where they’re exposed to dogs.”

“All Alley Cat Allies cats are fostered and socialized,” Lori McIntyre said. “They’re all great with people.”

According to program man-ager Casazza, Alley Cat Allies is looking for more volunteer help.

“We also run a program in Atlantic City – Boardwalk Cats,” she said. “And we need foster homes to send the cats to for socializing.”

Adoption Center hours at PetSmart are 6-9 p.m. Mon-days-Fridays; 1-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Saturdays; and noon-4 p.m. Sundays.

“We take donations,” said Casazza, who lives in Egg Harbor Township. “There’s a bin outside where people can leave blankets, towels, toys, food and litter. People donate many things.”

Donations of money can be made through the website, www.alleycat.org.

“Typically we get our cats from Atlantic City,” Casazza said. “If people call, I’ll direct

them to an appropriate shelter. We’re really not equipped to take in owner-surrenders.”

She said it’s hard to estimate how many cats pass through the center regularly.

“This February and March we couldn’t keep the cages full,” Casazza said. “We usual-ly have a lot of adoptions when the kids get out of school. Right now it’s slow.”

And soon to come is the biggest sign that the church with the centuries-old cemeteries on Route 9 has arrived in the 21st Century.

“A big step into the future, a bold step into the future of the church will be our new sign,” Duberson said. “We have a sign on Route 9 at the cemetery that’s been there for years. The new sign will be electronic with a digital screen.”

To emphasize how big a step this is, Duberson said that people aren’t sure the church is still open.

“They’ll ask, ‘Are you still there?’ Much looks as it did in the 1800s,” Green said. “This’ll be an eye-opener on the highway.”

Change is necessary for

the church to survive, he said.

“It has to do with what people are used to,” Green said. “Communication is key. Most people don’t write let-ters anymore; they use email. People searching for infor-mation go to the Internet.”

He said the church plans to use its website for Bible stud-ies and other activities.

“It’s my responsibility to update the signs,” Green said. “There are different re-

sources on the Internet.”Duberson said the

church will continue its main job – teaching the word of God.

“The church is always about planting seeds for the future,” Green said. “That’s why it changes. I’m approaching 70; I remember feeling that 50 was ancient.”

By STEVE PRISAMENT Staff Writer

GALLOWAY – Bikes and boomers aren’t usually a likely pairing.

But there’s little usual about the bicycle invented by the father of Mark Becker, who with his wife, owns Barista’s Coffee House in Sunrise Plaza at the corner of Jimmie Leeds Road and Chris Gaupp Drive.

“It all started basically when he retired about 12 years ago,” Becker said. “There are a lot of bike trails on Hilton Head – miles and miles of them.”

Bill Becker worked for Cottrell Trailers, manufac-turer of the trailers that are used to transport automobiles to dealers.

“He was in charge of pro-duction,” Mark Becker said of his dad. “From the build-ing they build to build in, to installing equipment for production to anything to do with production – that’s what he did. If there was no part for what they needed, he’d build one. He had to be creative.”

Thinking those days were over, Mark Becker took off one day on a bike ride through his new home of Hilton Head, N.C.

He returned home with a sore butt and more sore than he’d counted upon.

Sitting in his offi ce chair, it occurred to him that he could utilize the same technology in

the chair’s base to make bike riding more pleasurable.

Becker retired at 62, con-sulted for his old company for a few years before settling down, and now he’s 80.

The senior Becker was in town recently to promote his invention, the Elev8 bicycle, at the Action Outdoor and Bike Expo.

He said his years in charge of construction, maintenance and special projects at Cot-trell came in handy while developing the Elev8.

“I sat right next to the founder of the company,” he said. “We met at Bethlehem Fabricators. We built the fi rst four stories of the World Trade Center.”

Years passed and Becker found himself doing similar work in bicycle develop-ment.

“I built the first proto-types,” he said. “I bought bicycles at WalMart and then took them apart. I used a CAD system.”

The idea was to have a seat that didn’t sit directly on a post, absorbing the road impact.

“I knew it was going to work,” Becker said of his project. “But how well it was going to perform – that was a mystery. The design of the cylinder is a technology in itself.”

But Becker is an easy go-ing, interesting sort and he made friends at every turn with his new project.

“He started out by tearing

his $300 offi ce chair apart to fi gure it out,” his son said. “He realized it had a gas-charged cylinder that made the seat go up and down, and a little bit of suspension. So he applied that technology to the bike.”

He bought cheap and used bikes, modifying the frames to fi t his cylinders, according to his son.

“He made many different prototypes,” Mark Becker said. “I actually built the fi rst prototype that wasn’t from an existing bike – but with all new parts.”

The production models feature the ability to sit fl at on the seat, he said. A button allows the seat to shift up or down.

“It’s the fi rst bike without a solid frame,” Becker said. “It’s like riding a Cadillac. You can ride right off a curb. The handlebars are higher; your back is straight – in a natural sitting position.”

The transmission, he said, has a seven-speed hub.

“It’s very smooth,” he said. “You can click from fi rst to seventh gear. You don’t have to pedal. For quick stops, you have front and rear brakes, and you can lower the seat and have your feet flat on the ground. You’re sitting at lights in comfort. You can concentrate more on traffi c.”

Forgot you stopped in sev-enth gear? No problem. Just downshift to fi rst. And you can walk right up the back of

the bike to get on – no lifting your legs over a bar.

The bikes come in 24- and 26-inch sizes.

“It’s $998 for either size,” Becker said.

Bill Becker kept trying to interest bicycle manufactur-ers to put it into production – the Elev8 with the com-fortable, adjustable seat also featured a transmission that worked with no chain derailer – but he kept being “shuffl ed off to engineering.”

One day in Hilton Head he stopped his bike to admire Jack Russell terriers being walked by resident Matt Papka.

Papka was intrigued with the Elev8 and learned how it worked and what Becker’s problems were. He asked for six months to raise venture capital and arrange for pro-duction.

Six months later Bill Beck-er had some new partners – with Papka the primary one.

The Elev8 is now being manufactured in China. It’s being sold locally at Tucka-hoe Bike Shop locations at 2151 Route 50 in Tuckahoe, 1214 West Avenue and 55th

Street and West Avenue in Ocean City, JFK and Pleasant Avenue in Sea Isle City and 2300 Wrangleboro Road in Mays Landing.

ATLANTIC CITY – The Second Annual Atlantic City International Triathlon, sched-uled for Sept.15, is sold out.

DelMoSports, Inc. announced that more than 1,200 athletes will take part in the com-petition this year compared to the inaugural year numbers of just over 300 participants.

“We are ecstatic that in only its second year, the event has grown by 400 percent,” said event organizer Stephen Del Monte, a Wildwood businessman. “The Atlantic City International Triathlon was already voted one of the Top Eight Vacation Destination Races by Active.com. This really puts us on the map to showcase all that the resort has to offer to this new market of visitors.”

“With over 1,200 athletes and 4,000 specta-

tors the economic contributions from this event should exceed $750,000,” Del Monte said.

The Atlantic City Triathlon is a featured international-distance event that includes a 1-mile swim in the bay, a 20-mile bike on the Atlantic City Expressway and a 10-kilom-eter run on the world famous Atlantic City Boardwalk. This year, DelMoSports added a sprint race consisting of a quarter-mile swim, 10-mile bike, and 5K run to entice athletes who are in the early stages of their triathlon careers.

Along with the race, participants and spec-tators will enjoy a full schedule of activities, ranging from award ceremonies and cocktail receptions to cultural festivities. The Atlantic

City Triathlon has partnered with the Atlantic City Seafood Festival, taking place Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 15-16 at Bader Field.

The Atlantic City Triathlon will also be sa-luting the area by naming the swim, bike and run events after notable local athletes of the past. DelMoSports will offi cially announce those selections prior to the competition.

The race organizer is also working closely with the Boys and Girls Club of Atlantic City to teach children the importance of athletic activities. Members of the Boys and Girls Club will volunteer on race day.

For more information on sponsorships and the Atlantic City Triathlon, including registra-tion and event schedule, see delmosports.com.

High school football season kicks off Friday night

By TOM WILLIAMSSports Columnist

The Cape-Atlantic League football season kicks off on Friday and the league has its third different alignment in the last four years.

In 2009 and before, teams were divided into conferences by enrollment, much like they were in just about every sport. The last two years, there have been three con-ferences in football, pretty much divided by enrollment.

Over those two seasons, 14 CAL football teams qualified for the NJSIAA playoffs, an impressive number.

This year, and probably in 2013, the two conferences have been divided primarily by their recent success. The programs that have had the most success are currently in the American Conference, while those that have compiled fewer victories are in the National Conference.

If this arrangement doesn’t satisfy enough people, you might see the CAL merge with the gigantic West Jersey Foot-ball Conference in 2014 and lose all of its identity.

Most of this is being done because of St. Joseph. And, to a lesser degree, Holy Spirit and St. Augustine Prep.

In fact, the league actually made a rule

governing its new alignment and schedul-ing that said no team will have to play all three of the CAL’s non-public schools in one season. The people running public school football programs in this league are largely obsessed by the non-publics and the advantage that they perceive them to have.

This year, St. Joseph and Holy Spirit – both defending NJSIAA champions – will play in the American Conference and St. Augustine plays in the National Conference.

Holy Spirit will open its season on Friday night in Hammonton. The Spartans made two trips to Hammonton last season and had such bad luck (losing to both St. Joe and Hammonton) they have reportedly stopped serving blueberries in the Holy Spirit cafeteria.

Charlie Roman, a Holy Spirit graduate, left his head coaching position with the Spartans to join another Spirit grad, Mark Reardon, at St. Augustine. Reardon left his job as an assistant coach at Villanova to take over the Hermits and Roman will serve as offensive coordinator.

The new coach at Holy Spirit is John Iannucci, who has been head coach at nine other high schools. He took Cherry Hill East to the 2006 NJSIAA Group 4 Tourna-ment, losing to Doug Colman’s Absegami

team in the first round.Other American Conference games

on Friday feature Egg Harbor Township visiting Oakcrest in a battle between two contenders. Millville will travel to Atlantic City in another significant game.

And, on Saturday afternoon, Absegami will visit St. Joseph as Paul Sacco’s team plays its inaugural American Conference game.

Three new coaches will debut in Na-tional Conference action.

When Middle Township visits St. Au-gustine, coaches on each sideline will be new.

Reardon came from Villanova and will be coaching his first high school game. Middle’s Frank Riggitano returns to the sidelines after an 11-year absence.

In his 11 years as head coach, Rig-gitano’s teams won 48 games. In the 11 seasons since he left, the Panthers have won 27. He guided the Panthers to their first NJSIAA playoff appearance in 1993.

Also on Friday, Cedar Creek will make its official CAL football debut in the shad-ow of the big Ferris wheel. The Pirates play Ocean City at Carey Stadium.

Buena will play at Vineland in a game that has a rivalry feel to it and Bridg-eton will travel to Lower Cape May. In a crossover game on Friday, Mainland will

unveil its new uniforms at Pleasantville.As the season progresses, the NJSIAA

picture will begin to emerge. And, this year, there will be five public school groups instead of four, giving eight addi-tional South Jersey teams a chance to win a championship.

What seems like an interesting season gets underway Friday night.

----------------

CAL football radio broadcast schedule

Cape-Atlantic League football will get plenty of live coverage on the radio again this season.

On Friday night, ESPN-FM (97.3) will carry the Holy Spirit-Hammonton game with Tony Blum and Mike Gill describ-ing the action.

WIBG-FM (94.3) will broadcast the Egg Harbor Township-Oakcrest game with Josh Hennig and Harry Sachs behind the mikes.

And The Coast (98.7 FM) will cover Cedar Creek’s debut in the Cape-At-lantic League from Ocean City with Tom Williams, Bud Rinck and Butch Gleason in the booth.

All three games can also be heard online.

If you reside in southern New Jersey, odds are you know someone who once played football in the Cape-Atlantic League or currently suits up for a CAL squad. Perhaps it’s your husband, father, brother, a co-worker, a childhood friend or even the author of this story.

The league is indelibly embedded in our local sports identity and thou-sands of area residents have given all they’ve got while pursuing team pride. Whether your allegiance lies with the Spartans, Panthers, Pirates, Braves, Mustangs or any of the 13 other CAL programs, school spirit and community enthusiasm can live and die with Friday night football matchups.

More often than not, the CAL experience is a local athlete’s fi nal opportunity to play competitive 11-on-11 football. Although the area has churned out its share of exceptional athletes who have fl ourished at the next level, the overwhelming major-ity of high school players move on to a chapter of their life devoid of the sport.

For those who take advantage of an opportunity to advance their play-ing career, memories of high school triumphs never fade. Currently, col-legiate programs across the country include players who recently vied for CAL supremacy.

Up the parkway, Rutgers Universi-ty’s Division I football team includes wide receiver Vance Matthews (Lower Cape May) and defensive backs Ben Martin (Absegami) and Tejay Johnson (Egg Harbor Town-ship). Johnson, who graduated from EHT in 2011, recorded two tackles in the Scarlet Knights’ season-open-ing victory Saturday night, Sept. 1 against Tulane at the Superdome in New Orleans.

Earlier Saturday, Rowan University defeated visiting Delaware Valley, a team that entered the matchup ranked fi fth nationally in Division III football. It was an early statement for the Profs, a team packed with former CAL standouts.

Margate resident Patrick Ruley,a 2006 Atlantic City High School graduate, tallied three tackles and a sack in the victory. The senior line-backer anchors Rowan’s defense and is proud to play close to home.

“South Jersey football has a lot of rich history,” said Ruley, who is look-ing to build on a 2011 season in which he compiled 52 tackles and three sacks. “I have a lot of good memories and this year (at Rowan) we hope to reach our goals as a team.”

Fellow defensive starter Chris Popper, a 2009 Holy Spirit graduate, added more than 40 pounds to his 6-

foot-1 frame during the offseason in an effort to become more effective. The Egg Harbor Township resident shares Rowan’s locker room with his younger brother Josh, who was a member of Holy Spirit’s 2010 South Jersey championship team.

Although the brothers now don the Profs’ brown and gold, they stay in a Spartan state of mind, according to Chris.

“I die by Spartan life,” Popper said. “It’s a family there. We stay together, we push each other and we’ll always go back to help.”

Dan Mastromatteo helped Holy Spirit claim consecutive South Jersey titles in 2010 and 2011. The all-league linebacker drew plenty of attention for his persistent style of play and provided an intimidating presence in the center of the Spartans’ dominant defensive attack.

Mastromatteo, who played for the Absecon Blue Devils before high school, accepted an athletic scholar-ship from University of North Caro-lina after mulling offers from uni-versities including Boston College, Rutgers and North Carolina State.

This summer, he headed south to Chapel Hill, embarking on a journey in big-time college football. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound freshman doesn’t underestimate the lessons he learned playing on the football fi elds of South Jersey.

“I developed the mentality that it takes hard work to succeed and that nothing is ever going to be given to me,” Mastromatteo said. “That’s what I take with me.”

Mastromatteo has the size and speed that could eventually lead him to a professional career if he can create a successful role for himself with the Tar Heels. Longport resident Jack Crawford recently reached that elite level.

The 2008 St. Augustine Prep graduate didn’t play a down of football until his junior season of high school. Crawford was raised in London, England before relocating to America in 2005.

When he originally enrolled at St. Augustine, Crawford anticipated spending his athletic career on the basketball court. However, he gave into temptation and suited up for the Hermits and head coach Dennis Scuderi Sr.

Soon enough, he was striking fear into the hearts of CAL quarterbacks on defense and giving opposing coaches fi ts as a freakishly athletic tight end. With practically no back-ground knowledge of the game, Crawford’s skill set was impossible to ignore.

Syracuse University was the fi rst to offer a scholarship. That set off a series of dominoes that made Crawford one of the most highly

From Oakland Raiders to Rowan University, former CAL football stars are thriving

Million Dollar Shootout gives golfers a chance to win big in EHTEGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP – The Fourth An-

nual Atlantic Auto Group Million Dollar Shootout is scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7 on the 18th fairway at McCullough’s Emerald Golf Links.

At stake is a chance for one golfer to win $1 million. Approximately 75 competitors are ex-pected to participate. Qualifi ers must reach the green from three distances, starting at the 100-

yard mark. Only one golfer will ultimately qualify to shoot

for the grand prize of $1 million. That person also receives a 2013 membership to McCullough’s Emerald Golf Links.

Friends, family and the general public are invited to watch the festivities and cheer on their favorite golfer from the deck of the Library Pub

and Grille. Tom Sullivan, general manager of Mc-Cullough’s, encourages everyone to come out.

“It is a very exciting event where so many golfers are vying for that kind of money,” Sullivan said.

McCullough’s Emerald Golf Links is located at 3016 Ocean Heights Ave. in Egg Harbor Township.

recruited defensive end prospects in the northeast.

“It was one of the biggest surprises I’ve ever had,” Crawford said. “I just couldn’t believe it. I didn’t think I was great in my fi rst year playing, but (schools) obviously saw some-thing.”

He attended Penn State, where he produced 14 sacks in 48 career games. The Oakland Raiders selected Crawford, a 6-foot-5, 275-pound freight train of a football player, in the fi fth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

An impressive rookie training camp solidified his spot on the Raiders’ fi nal roster. Crawford will wear silver and black when Oakland hosts the San Diego Chargers in the season’s opening Monday Night Football matchup.

“I think I’m ready mentally,” Crawford said. “First and foremost, you have to go in and make the team, and then do whatever you have to do to get on the fi eld. That’s how I’m thinking about it, taking it one day at a time.”

Crawford has quickly gone from

chasing down CAL ball carriers to pursuing some of the greatest quar-terbacks the sport has ever seen.

“It’s crazy (facing) someone like Peyton Manning, who is a future Hall-of-Famer and someone I’ve watched win a Super Bowl,” Craw-ford explained.

While Crawford received plenty of attention during his high school play-ing career here in Atlantic County, Ismail Showell never garnered a scholarship offer. That didn’t stop the Mays Landing native from winning a bowl ring as a member of the 2011 West Virginia football team.

As a walk-on freshman safety, Showell helped the starters prepare for games and was in uniform on the sideline when the Mountaineers clob-bered Clemson in the Orange Bowl. Now a sophomore at West Virginia, Showell has carved out a starting spot on the squad’s special teams unit.

Being an underdog doesn’t bother Showell, who played an integral role in Oakcrest’s recent football revival. He helped the Falcons escape the CAL basement and reach a South Jersey championship game as a se-

nior in 2010.“It was something truly special and

will always be in my heart,” Showell said. “Coming in with that freshman class, nobody wanted to (play foot-ball) at Oakcrest. Everyone wanted to go to Holy Spirit or St. Joe. Even though it wasn’t feasible, we sold to each other that one day we were going to make the playoffs and fi ght for a state championship. Just to go through all that pain and struggle year in and year out losing, fi nally we got a breakthrough. We worked hard and it paid off. It wasn’t handed to us and I’m happy that we changed the perception of Oakcrest.”

Showell’s story provides the nar-rative that commonly accompanies CAL football players. Often over-looked, never outworked.

Cape-Atlantic League pride con-tinues to expand, from the shores of Margate to the bright lights of Monday Night Football.

Good luck to the next generation of game-changers.

EGG HARBOR CITY _ The hottest thing this week at the Egg Harbor City Historical Society might just be the or-ganization’s newest cookbook that offers tasty recipes and honors the community’s wine industry heritage.

“The Wine City Cookbook” features 150 entries submitted by society members who live across the county, said Roy Weiler Sr., a local author, his-tory buff and society member.

Most of the recipes involve the use of wine, he said.

“Everybody knows about Renault Winery, but few real-ize that Egg Harbor City had more than 30 wineries at one time,” he said

Egg Harbor City traces its roots to a time when German settlers believed its location in the middle of prime farmland would lead to the birth to a “city.” They hoped it would stretch from the Mullica River to the present-day railroad tracks on the city’s south side.

“It’s the sandy soil along with an ample water supply that made it perfect for farm-ing,” he said.

But the sandy soil also gave root to a wine industry as well.

“The German settlers always made their own wine and their own beer,” he said. “But once they discovered how the sandy soil was perfect for growing wines, it was natural that win-eries would spring up across the city.”

Most of the wineries were the size of the present-day

Cookbook honors Egg Harbor City’s

wine history

R.J. Liberatore Jr.

Egg Harbor City resident, author and historical society member Roy Weiler Sr. stands with the society’s latest cookbook, “The Wine City Cookbook,” that was released late last month. He also holds a copy of the city’s Sesquicentennial Celebra-tion Commemorative Book.

Local cookbooks wantedHas your church, school, family, community group or civic

organization created its own cookbook? If so, the Atlantic County Library System would love to have a copy of it.

Donations of local cookbooks may be dropped off at any Atlantic County Library System location or the Bookmobile. Library branches are located in Brigantine, Egg Harbor City, Egg Harbor Township, Galloway Township, Hammonton, Longport, Mays Landing, Pleasantville, Somers Point, and Ventnor. For a schedule of Bookmobile stops, call the library’s Outreach Services Section at (609) 625-2776, ext. 6338.

Egg Harbor City Roundhouse Museum on a farm plot of fi ve acres, he said.

“But that all changed when Prohibition took place,” he said.

Renault Winery survived Prohibition because it sold white and red tonic with labels that warned the tonic would turn to wine if refrigerated, Weiler said.

“That’s how they got around that,” he said.

Though the wineries are gone, wine as an ingredient to drink and use in cooking lives on in many households across the city.

Weiler hoped to capture the best of those recipes in a book to be used as a fundraiser for the society.

Recipe books make for great gifts, he said.

“You can give a bottle of wine or you can give a cook-book,” he said. “Which is better?”

Weiler recruited recipes and organized the Historical Soci-ety’s fi rst cookbook that was published in 2004 and went to four printings.

He backed this year’s version as well, but wanted to pay hom-age to the city’s wine history as well as create a fundraiser.

Weiler spent a month knock-ing on doors, making phone calls and asking for submis-sions to include in the book earlier this spring. Then he typed them into a computer and sent them off to the printer. The fi rst edition went on sale during the Historical Society’s August meeting.

Similar to most cookbooks, the “Wine City Cookbook”

features recipes divided into categories that include ap-petizers and beverages, soups and salads, vegetables and side dishes, main dishes, breads and rolls, desserts, cookies and candy.

“There aren’t too many bread recipes that call for wine, so not every recipe involves wine,” he said.

But two local favorite recipes are among the many that do, he said.

“Renault Winery was kind enough to allow us to use two of their signature recipes,” he said.

You’ll fi nd Renault Winery’s Blueberry Champagne Punch on Page 3 and Blueberry Cham-pagne Pancakes on Page 63.

Cookbooks have long made for good fundraiser because of their universal appeal.

“I love recipe books,” Weiler

said. “A lot of time I get them just to read the recipes but I always end up eating some-thing.”

James Weisbecker of Egg Harbor City offers an easy Onion Sticks recipe that com-bines onion soup mix, wine and cheese on toasted bread. You’ll fi nd it on Page 6.

Historical Society mem-ber Jeanette M. Ricci of Egg Harbor City submitted a tasty Beef and Vegetable Soup along with a Split Pea and Ham Soup recipe. They are found on Page 7. Ricci submitted many recipes sprinkled throughout the book.

City Councilwoman Hazel Mueller submitted an Easy Baked Acorn Squash recipe that is on Page 15.

There’s even an entry from the Peach Pilgrim, a Nutloaf/Vegetable Meatloaf on Page

25.Weiler’s favorite is Naked

Peas, a recipe he submitted and printed on Page 14. The instructions call for two pounds of fresh peas to be steamed, cooled and then pinched to remove the skin. Then the peas are sautéd in butter and white wine and served as a side dish.

“The Wine City Cookbook” is available for $9 from the Egg Harbor City Historical Society’s Roundhouse Mu-seum, 533 London Ave., Egg Harbor City; Almost Heaven, 215 Philadelphia Ave. or by calling (609) 965-0680.

The cookbook is also avail-able at Renault Winery for $14.95.
