There are big plans to honor a storied Vineland High coach/athletic
director—Anthony J. “Tony” DiTomo.
Students celebrate National Soup
Month with their own “Stone Soup.”
A Monument to
“Big D”
Bishop Schad Regional School first graders celebrated
National Soup Month by making Stone Soup. The chil-
dren all brought in a special ingredient that they
added to a stone to make a delicious soup. The story
Stone Soup, a children's book based on an old French
folk tale, reinforces the importance of sharing and
working together especially in the early grades. The
children enjoyed the story but especially liked eating
their “Stone Soup.”
Mmm, Mmm Good
Wrestlers Bobby Marcus, left, and Nick Belfi with their legendary coach, Anthony
J. “Tony” DiTomo, in 1966. They were both district champions that year.
T
he monument may only be of modest size, but
the honored man was big. Big in stature, big in
manner, and big in heart. The Vineland High
School Historical Committee will erect a per-
manent memorial to Anthony J. “Tony” DiTomo at the
school’s sports complex that bears his name, and is
soliciting money nowto pay for it.
DiTomo was a legendary football player, coach,
athletic director, and human being during his life-
time association with the school. He died 10 years
ago this month.
John Casadia, project chairperson, wants maximum
participation by all who knewDiTomo and said both
large and small donations are welcome toward the pro-
ject’s estimated cost of $4,000.
“I’d be happy with a thousand people giving $4
each,” he said. Those contributing $100 or more
may have a memorial brick placed in the monu-
ment’s walkway.
DiTomo was s stellar athlete at VHS in the late
1930s. After spending World War II in the Air Force
and graduating from college, he returned to the
school as a physical education teacher in 1949. He
coached multiple sports, notably wrestling, then had
a storied 17-year career as athletic director before
retiring in 1989. After retirement, he continued his
dedicated involvement with VHS.
Teacher Linda Stanewich dishes up soup
for first graders Bryan Peterson and
Kate Stockbridge.

Doe’s and Don’ts
{ PAUL J. DOE, FORMER PUBLISHER OF THE CUMBERLAND NEWS }
Believing is...
L
ook, up in the sky. It’s a bird! It’s
a plane! It’s….Forty years in the
newspaper business have taught
me not to believe everything I
read. Sixty-seven years on this planet have
taught me not to believe everything I see or
hear. All of that would ordinarily make one
a cynic, except over those same years I’ve
seen, heard and read an awful lot of stuff
that makes sense, even if it is unbelievable.
Point of fact: This past Valentine’s Day
my father-in-law and I were coming home
around 12:30 after lunch (his treat) at
General Custard’s. We were traveling east
on Landis and were about a half mile from
Union Road. He was driving, so we were
doing the speed limit.
Suddenly, just to our left (the northeast)
we saw a glowing blue-white ball trailing a
long white tail with orange sparks streak
toward the ground.
“What was that?”
“Don’t know, but it looked like it was
coming down right there in the field
(between Landis and Post Road).”
We turned on the next street (LeJean
Terrace), drove down to the vacant field
and parked the car. We walked about for a
little while looking for some telltale smoke
and wondered if we should call the fire
department. We were both sure that it
(whatever “IT” was) must have landed
somewhere close and worried that it
looked like it had the potential to cause
major damage.
I finally decided I would walk home
from there and keep an eye out for smoke.
He said he’d tell his grandson (an East
Vineland volunteer fireman) and a neigh-
bor who owned some of the land where we
guessed the object had landed.
Over dinner (a special Valentine’s din-
ner, which I’d prepared and cooked) as I
was telling my wife about it she suddenly
jumped up and ran into the family room
where she keeps the TV tuned to Channel
29 news.
“They’re talking about it on the news,”
she said. So, I followed her and caught the
tail end of weatherman John Bolaris talk-
ing about several reports from Philadelphia
(including an eyewitness report from a
staffer) who saw what sounded like pretty
much like what we saw.
There was nothing on the late news that
evening and nothing in the newspapers the
next day. Or the day after.
On Wednesday night there was a special
on one of the science channels about a giant
meteor that scientists are keeping a eye on
because it could come close to the earth (in
2050, so don’t hold your breath). I didn’t
see the show but the father-in-law did and,
of course, it resurrected the whole event.
That night I looked it up on the Internet
(“nj + meteor” on Google) and discovered
that there were sightings all along the East
Coast from Delaware to Connecticut. It
was described as a “rare, daylight” meteor
event and the American Meteorological
Society said it was about the size of a small
car when it plunged into the Atlantic, 50 or
more miles offshore.
Now, here’s what I figured out. We are
about 25 miles from the ocean (as the crow
flies) and this thing landed 50 miles beyond
that. So, allowing for the curvature of the
earth, we saw it fairly high in the sky even
though it looked like it was right in front
of us and very close to the ground. Or else
it’s all just another government cover-up
and a UFO really did land in Buena Vista.
I knowwhat I saw. Except, I didn’t really.
••••
One other strange sighting last week
was Watson, the IBM computer that chal-
lenged, and beat badly, the two top
Jeopardy champions of all time.
I’d been looking forward to the event –
which the show had been shamelessly pro-
moting for weeks—and was fairly certain
that the computer didn’t stand a chance. It
was a two-day event, spread over three
days to allow them time to explain how
IBM put Watson together.
The thing is the contest was pretty
much over after one day with Watson
holding a commanding lead. It ended with
Watson accumulating about three times as
much as his nearest competitor.
The thing that struck me though was
that Watson wasn’t just smart, he was
lucky. Over the two-day contest Watson
hit five of the six special “Jeopardy” and
“Double Jeopardy” spaces that allow
competitors to wager sums up to what
they have accumulated.
Smart and lucky!
If he were good looking, too, I’d be
jealous. I
...seeing an UFO with your own two
eyes in broad daylight.

SJHC Hosts Heart Risk Assessment Lunch
South Jersey Healthcare offered free heart risk assessments and
a heart-healthy lunch to the community on February 8. The latest
information on heart health was also provided for the attendees
by board-certified cardiologist Gladwyn Baptist, M.D. The semi-
nar included a free question-and-answer session where partici-
pants spoke personally with the doctor and made appointments
on the spot. The event included a cooking demonstration prior
to the lunch. There will be another free heart assessment on
February 24 at the Elmer location of South Jersey Healthcare
Fitness Connection.
Below: Head Chef at Regional Medical Center Barry Peyton served
Elaine Potter of Millville and Carole Platts of Bridgeton at the heart
healthy lunch. Right, Barbara Peterson of Vineland gets her blood

Convention in Cherry Hill. The degree is given by the
National FFA to individuals who have provided exceptional
service to agriculture, agricultural education, or FFA.
Secretary Fisher received his degree for his continual sup-
port for FFA and agricultural education and efforts to

Downtown Vineland
{ TODD NOON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, VDID / MAINSTREET VINELAND }
Key Roles
Volunteers will play significant roles
in the new public market.
M
y last column dealt with
Main Street Vineland’s vol-
unteer program and I want
to carry that topic over to
this week to explain the important role that
volunteers will play in Landis MarketPlace—
downtown Vineland’s unique new public
market—for the grand opening and beyond.
With a project of this size, issues and con-
cerns arise that need to be addressed. Many
of you may have questions about the market—
logistical issues like parking, getting around
the market, and so on. The market is going to
require a sizable number of volunteers, or
Market Ambassadors, and they will play key
roles in addressing and resolving many of
these issues and concerns. That is what I
want to address here.
• Greeting customers—An initial priority of
any retail establishment is to make cus-
tomers feel welcome. They need to know
right away that someone is there to
acknowledge them and set them in the
right direction. Landis MarketPlace is seek-
ing volunteers who can provide “service
with a smile” as greeters. They will be able
to answer customers’ questions and they
will have market maps and other materials
to make getting around easier. Other such
volunteers will be stationed throughout the
market and a customer service desk, with
more information about the market and
downtown attractions, will also be staffed.
• Providing customer service—This “service
with a smile” must extend beyond the
entrance to all areas of the market.
Volunteers will be needed to help customers
and answer questions inside the market.
Volunteers will also be on hand to help cus-
tomers get their purchases to their vehicles.
• Showing where to park—Where should mar-
ket customers park their vehicles? We will
be making sure that parking is as easy as
possible. We will need volunteers to help
with wayfinding, including indicating where
parking can be found. Plans are in progress
to make the several rear parking lots easy to
locate and useful for customers. Signs will be
posted that will indicate where these lots are
and howto get to them. They will be indi-
cated on market maps that are handed out.
• Helping with market events—In addition to
the products for sale in the market, special
events, such as cooking demonstrations, fea-
tures for kids, and musical presentations will
be going on. Volunteers will be needed to
assist with these as helpers. Good helpers con-
tribute greatly to the success of such events.
These are some of the areas where volun-
teers will be needed. As the market continues
to take shape, I will update you on develop-
ments, including additional areas where vol-
unteers will be needed.
Howdo you become a Market Ambassador?
To be a volunteer, you must be 18 or over.
Contact Market Manager Gary Holloway at
856-794-8653 or, by e-mail, at gholloway@
vinelandcity.org. You can also stop into the
Main Street Vineland office, at 603 E. Landis
Avenue and pick up a volunteer registration
form. You can also find out more about the
market by visiting them on Facebook. I

Annual Fralinger Invitational Water Polo Event
The 2nd Annual Fralinger Invitational Water Polo Event was held on February 5,
at St. Augustine Prep. The event honors Michael Fralinger, a member of St.
Augustine's first-ever swim team, who was killed in a traffic accident in 2009.
Many friends of Michael and Kim and their six children honor Michael and the
entire Fralinger family for their many contributions to the community. Upon
Michael’s passing, his family created this scholarship fund in his name at St
Augustine Prep and the proceeds help maintain this fund.
This year’s tournament hosted eight teams split up in boys and girls divi-
sions from St. Augustine Prep, Our Lady of Mercy Academy, and Millville and
Oakcrest high schools. In the finals, Oakcrest swept both divisions and won
the overall tournament. Next year’s event will be held over the Thanksgiving
weekend.

January-February 2011
Bass Factory
Car Audio with an Emphasis on Quality
ar audio has always been a passion of mine so I
opened Bass Factory, 709B E. Landis Ave., to give my
customers the highest quality products and service.
I opened Bass Factory seven months ago, after being in
the business for 13 years. We carry a full line of equipment
and supplies, and can also help you with vehicle security,
remote starting, and keyless entry.
At Bass Factory, the customer is always right. If you want
an elaborate or simple car system, we can serve you. While
we specialize in a few high-quality brands, we can obtain
any brand for you, often in 24 hours. We offer a one-year
warranty on all our products, and a layaway plan. We’re
also willing to match or beat any competitor’s price.
I’m excited about being on Landis Avenue and hope to
expand into home electronics and DJ equipment.
Please come in or call us at (856) 691-5008 to hear the
difference we can make for you.
Alexander Santiago

LoBiondo Announces New Fire
Truck for Landisville Volunteer
Fire Company Inc.
U.S. Representative Frank A. LoBiondo
(NJ-02) announced that the Landisville
Volunteer Fire Department Inc. will
receive $237,500 from the Assistance to
Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program to pur-
chase a new fire truck. This is their
fourth AFG award, including $29,925 ear-
lier this month. Previous awards were
$143,145 (2004) and $475,000 (2008).
“Talk about a double-dose of good
news for two of our local volunteer fire
companies,” said LoBiondo, a member of
the Congressional Fire Caucus.
Additionally, the Harrisonville
Volunteer Fire Company will receive its
first award from the AFG program in the
amount of $72,580. In total, 117 organiza-
tions in the 2nd Congressional district
have been awarded more than $23.5 mil-
lion since the program began in 2001.
The Assistance to Firefighters Grant
Program awards grants directly to fire
departments and emergency services to
support their efforts to protect the com-
munities they serve. The Fiscal Year
2010 program will distribute $390 mil-
lion to first responder organizations
across the country to obtain critically
needed equipment, protective gear,
emergency vehicles, training, and other
resources required to protect the public
and emergency personnel from fire and
related hazards.
The Department of Homeland
Security’s Office for Domestic
Preparedness (ODP) administers the
program, in cooperation with the U.S.
Fire Administration. For the last eight
years, Congressman LoBiondo’s office
has hosted local seminars for area fire
departments to highlight the benefits of
this grant program and assist with the
application process. The Fiscal Year
2010 program received 16,231 applica-
tions nationwide.

T
he recent appearance here by
Chris Brubeck’s Triple Play is
somewhat of an echo of an earli-
er event in Vineland. The earlier
event occurred on an overcast Saturday
evening at Gittone Stadium in 1966 when
Chris’s father Dave, Louis Armstrong and
Maynard Ferguson filled the night air with
strains of hot and cool jazz.
The Vineland Jaycees were responsi-
ble for the concert and for bringing three
top names in jazz to the city. It was not
uncommon for such musical luminaries
to appear on the same stage together.
Brubeck, Armstrong and Ferguson had
all played the Newport Jazz Festival
together, and in 1965, were three of the
earliest jazz acts to be booked into the
Music Circus in Lambertville, New
Jersey. But the Vineland show was a local
musical achievement that has arguably
remained unrivaled.
The Jaycees dubbed the event Jazz in
Jersey and received full cooperation
from the police, fire department, rescue
squad, civil defense and electric utility in
staging the concert. The organization’s
expectations were that 10,000 fans would
pack Gittone Stadium on May 28 for the
8 o’clock show that was expected to be a
highlight of the Memorial Day weekend.
At the time, much of the pre-concert
attention seemed directed at trumpeter
Ferguson whose larger ensemble sound
placed his music even in households that
otherwise might argue jazz is an acquired
taste. Yet, now it’s pianist Brubeck, who is
still touring and creating music at the age
of 90, and particularly trumpeter/vocalist
Armstrong, the true ambassador of the
jazz genre known by his nickname
Satchmo, who make this concert so his-
torically significant 45 years later.
The pianist’s cool, semi-classical
approach to the music earned him acco-
lades well before Bill Evans and Keith
Jarrett were familiar names to the public.
Armstrong, who spent the 1960s as a
beloved entertainer, was actually one of a
handful of artists who had truly reshaped
the jazz form early on as a soloist.
Incidentally, Armstrong was the second
revolutionary jazz figure to visit Vineland,
as John Coltrane had performed here in
1954 as a member of Ted Curson’s band,
according to Lewis Porter’s book John
Coltrane: His Life and Music.
Recognition of the artists and their
arrival began before the musicians hit
the stage. Prior to the concert,
Armstrong and Brubeck were each pre-
sented the key to the city by Vineland
Mayor Henry A. Garton at the East
Landis Lounge. Ferguson was not on
hand for the ceremony.
At 8 p.m., as the rains that had filled
the day temporarily subsided, opening
act Donna Jean took the stage with her
trio. The vocalist began her set as the
audience was still being seated, but
according to the Times Journal, soon
won them over.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet followed,
running through tunes like “St. Louis
Blues” and “Someday My Prince Will
Come.” What makes this group’s appear-
ance in Vineland so significant is that it
was the classic lineup of Brubeck, alto
saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist
Eugene Wright and drummer Joe
Morello, the famed lineup of the original
recordings of “Take Five” and “Blue
Rondo a la Turk” and such albums as At
Carnegie Hall.
Ferguson kicked off the second half of
the show, directing his band through such
numbers as “Got the Spirit,” the Latin-
tinged “Olé” and ballads such as “I’m
Getting Sentimental Over You.” The set
gave ample opportunity for soloing,
including an extended slot by drummer
Tony Inzalaco.
The four-hour concert concluded with
Louis Armstrong and the All Stars, the
trumpeter’s touring lineup at the time.
The set list consisted of standards like
“Mack the Knife,” “Blueberry Hill,”
“Avalon,” “Lover Come Back to Me,” and
Satchmo’s recent hit song “Hello Dolly.”
Rain accompanied the close of
Armstrong’s set, but word has it that the
trumpeter, who was staying at the East
Landis Motel, performed at the lounge
later that night.
The concert was deemed an artistic
success, but the turnout of only 3,000 peo-
ple, attributed to the rain that preceded
the event, and the Jaycees’ loss of $15,000
to $17,000 made it a financial failure. Still,
the concert brought to town a most
impressive collection of musicians whose
histories are entwined with Vineland’s and
whose presence here is a significant
moment in the past 150 years. I

NJ Taxpayers May Contribute
to Food Pantries on Tax Forms
This year, New Jersey taxpayers have the
opportunity for the first time to donate a
portion of their 2010 income tax refund
or make a donation to the Community
Food Pantry Fund, through a check-off
contribution on state income tax forms.
“With a large increase in the number
of people seeking food assistance from
our state’s network of food pantries in
the last couple of years, we are looking
for every possible avenue to ensure that
there is enough food for those who need
it,” said New Jersey Secretary of
Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher. “Working
with the Division of Taxation, this new
taxpayer-donated fund has the ability to
raise a good deal of money to supple-
ment our state efforts to supply nutri-
tious food to the needy.”
Governor Christie and the State
Legislature allocated $6,818,000 for the
current fiscal year’s New Jersey
Department of Agriculture State Food
Purchase Program (SFPP). The money is
distributed quarterly to the state’s six
food banks for the purchase of healthy
foods, with an emphasis on buying pro-
duce from New Jersey farmers. The
SFPP is in its fourth year.
”With these payment options, taxpay-
ers who want to support the vital work
of food pantries around the state will
now be able to do so in a very convenient
way,” said New Jersey State Treasurer
Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff.
The Community Food Pantry Fund
check-off box can be found on the 2010
Form NJ-1040 tax return on Line Item
#63 “Other Designated Contribution.” It
is the ninth fund donation item, listed
between NJ Veterans Haven Support
Fund and Cat and Dog Spayed/Neuter
Fund.
Money collected for the fund, to be
administered by the Department of
Agriculture, will be used exclusively for

USDA Releases Status of 2010
Counter-Cyclical Payments for
Certain Commodities
USDA Farm Service Agency Cumberland
County Executive Director Angela J.
Andreoli announced that USDA will not
issue partial 2010-crop counter-cyclical
payments to producers of certain covered
commodities. Payments will not be made
to producers of wheat, corn, grain
sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton, long
grain rice, medium grain rice, soybeans,
sunflower seed, rapeseed, canola, saf-
flower, flaxseed, mustard seed, crambe,
sesame seed, dry peas, lentils, small
chickpeas, large chickpeas, and peanuts.
For all covered commodities and peanuts,
market price projections exceed levels
that would trigger these payments.
“Counter-cyclical payments are
authorized by the 2008 Farm Bill to pro-
vide producers with a safety net during
periods of low crop prices; but I know
our farmers overwhelmingly prefer to
receive compensation for their efforts
from the marketplace,” said Andreoli.
In addition to the 2010 crop informa-
tion, USDA announced it will not issue
final 2009-crop counter-cyclical pay-
ments for long grain rice and medium
grain (including short grain) rice because
their average market prices exceeded
levels that would trigger these payments.
For more information on the direct
and counter-cyclical payment programs,
including a table displaying the target
price, projected average market price,
loan rate, direct payment rate, effective
price and projected counter-cyclical
rates, visit your local FSA office or the
FSA DCP website: www.fsa.usda.gov/dcp.
Dates for Conservation
Reserve Program Signup
Announced
Angela J. Andreoli, County Executive
Director of USDA’s Farm Service Agency
in Cumberland County announced
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has
set general signup for the Conservation
Reserve Program (CRP) to begin on
March 14, 2011, and continue through
April 15, 2011. During the signup period,
farmers and ranchers may offer eligible
land for CRP's competitive general
signup at their county Farm Service
Agency (FSA) office.
Land currently not enrolled in CRP
may be offered in this signup provided
all eligibility requirements are met.
Additionally, current CRP participants
with contracts expiring this fall may
make new contract offers. Contracts
awarded under this signup are scheduled
to become effective October 1, 2011.
To help ensure that interested farmers
and ranchers are aware of the signup
period, USDA has signed partnership
agreements with several conservation
and wildlife organizations that will all
play an active role in USDA’s 2011 CRP
outreach efforts.
FSA, which administers the CRP, will
evaluate and rank eligible CRP offers
using an Environmental Benefits Index
(EBI) that shows the environmental ben-
efits to be gained from enrolling the land
in CRP. The EBI consists of five environ-
mental factors (wildlife, water, soil, air
and enduring benefits) and cost.
Decisions on the EBI cutoff will be made
after the sign-up ends and after analyz-
ing the EBI data of all the offers.
In addition to the general sign-up,
CRP’s continuous sign-up program will
be ongoing. Continuous acres represent
the most environmentally desirable and
sensitive land. For more information,
visit www.fsa.usda.gov/crp.

Delsea Sponsors H.A.T Reward
Program For Citizenship
Delsea Regional High School’s
Renaissance Club is sponsoring the
H.A.T. Reward Program to promote
good citizenship within the school.
The Renaissance advisors, English
teacher Cathy Hertens and Spanish
teacher Jessica Blakeslee along with
an administrator, either principal, one
of the vice principals or supervisors
are randomly dropping by classrooms
during the day to promote H.A.T. They
are checking to see if all class mem-
bers have their homework completed,
all are in attendance, and no one has
been tardy to class. For those classes
that meet all three H.A.T. criteria, stu-
dents are immediately rewarded with
a snack. Classes that do not meet the
criteria when visited will have another
opportunity. The H.A.T. program is
one of the various efforts made by the
Renaissance program to reward and
recognize students for being good
students. This particular activity
addresses homework, attendance and
tardiness.

Delsea Promotes Literacy
Delsea students in grades 9-12 are
encouraged to participate in a reading
program known as Accelerated Reader.
The goal of the program is to have each
student meet the goal of reading two
designated Accelerated Readers books
with the intent that reading can be fun,
informative, and entertaining, and that
reading should take place every day.
When the students finish reading the
book of his or her choice, they write a
brief summary of each reading, then take
a computerized test. If they pass the test
and meet their goal, they are treated to a
reading celebration at the end of the
marking period. During the second mark-
ing period, 50 students who achieved
their goal were treated to a celebration
with hot chocolate and cookies.
Seated: Eddie Anderson, James Stead,
Ioannis Eleftherion, Robbie Patchus,
Kendra Johnson, and Ja’Naishia Havelow.
Standing: Nick Collins, Antonio Coelho,
and Ramon Cases.

reetings! I don’t know about anyone
else, but I’m tired of all the snow
and cold weather. The few days of
warmer weather lately has me long-
ing for Jersey tomatoes and other locally grown
veggies; I can hardly wait until the roadside
stands open! Also, the new marketplace will be
opening on Landis Avenue, and I plan on visit-
ing quite frequently. For now, I hope you enjoy
these two flavorful recipes.
Enchiladas
2 tbs. chili powder
1 tbs. raw sugar
4 tbs. safflower or sunflower oil
3 tbs. unbleached flour
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
3 1/2 cups water
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 pound lean ground beef
24 regular sized or 12 large corn or
wheat tortillas
3 cups reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
2-3 scallions, chopped (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°. Over medium high heat,
combine chili powder, sugar, oil and flour in a
large pot and mix until smooth. Add tomato
sauce, water, garlic powder, onion powder and
beef into the pot and cook on high until it comes
to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 min-
utes. Put 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture into
the center of each regular sized tortilla, or double
that for large sized tortillas, then sprinkle some
cheese on top of the meat for each. Roll tortillas
and place them side-by-side in a 9 x 13 inch pan
sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon
remaining meat sauce over the top of tortillas
and cover with aluminum foil. Bake 35 to 40 min-
utes, then remove foil and sprinkle tortillas with
additional cheddar cheese. Place pan back in the
oven uncovered until cheese is melted. Sprinkle
each serving with chopped scallions, if desired.
Asian-Inspired Tacos
2 tsp. safflower or sunflower oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, sliced
into thin strips
1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips (discard
seeds and stem)
1 red bell pepper, prepped as the green pepper
1 small onion, sliced
1/2 cup natural teriyaki sauce, use more if needed
4 whole wheat tortillas
Additional teriyaki sauce to drizzle over taco filling
Heat oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add
chicken, stir-fry 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken is
no longer pink in center and juices run clear.
Remove chicken from skillet and add vegetables,
stir-fry over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes
or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add 1/2 cup
teriyaki sauce and chicken back into the pan, toss
until vegetables and chicken are coated with
sauce, turn off heat. Add some of the chicken and
vegetable mixture over half of each tortilla and
fold tortillas in half. Serve with extra teriyaki
sauce, if desired. I

alentine’s Day, the holiday of
love, romance, chocolate and
cards. The holiday of sharing a
meal with your partner, be it a
first date or yet another dinner in an unbro-
ken chain of loving meals together. Jill and I
fell somewhere in between last Monday,
although it was the first Valentine’s Day
with our newest love, our son Berkeley.
We decided to have a relaxed evening at
home, cooking in the company of each
other, and sharing the time to talk about
what’s going on in our respective worlds.
Since Jill has transitioned into a full-time
mommy and (very) part-time small business
owner, she’s not around the bakery as much.
So much goes on without her there, that
I’ve had to become a reporter of sorts, try-
ing to remember that she’s simply not there
to see all that happens in the bakery now.
As you may remember, the weather on
Valentine’s Day was quite nice, with pleas-
ant temperatures and a stiff breeze. Breeze
withstanding, it was time to grill. It’s been a
long and cold winter, and the sights and
smells of spring were rapidly approaching,
inspiring me to get outside and fire up the
grill. I had thought to myself at summer’s
end last year, that I would grill more this
year. The summer of 2010 was an especially
busy one for me, and I just didn’t do as
much outside as I wanted or needed to… the
garden lay neglected and the grill unused
for much of the year.
So on the morning of February 14, I
pulled two sirloin steaks from the freezer,
more of our “cow-pooled” meat from the
pasture-raised, Jersey-fresh steer that we
had gotten in the fall. I left Jill in charge of
making a marinade during the day while I
was at work, and she whipped together a
yummy Asian-inspired paste of soy sauce,
smoked chili powder, tomato paste, honey,
tamarind, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and
ginger, all thinned out with a little water to
make a good consistency.
When I arrived home, I pulled the steaks
from the fridge and unloaded the asparagus
I had picked up at Santori’s. It must be
asparagus season in Mexico, because these
thin little spears were so green and fresh-
looking, they practically begged me to buy
them. I then began to think about what to
serve with the steaks and asparagus. As
usual, I did a quick mental inventory of
what we had on hand. Potatoes and steak
are a classic combo, so my thoughts went to
the sweet potatoes that I bought from
Muzzarelli Farm that are down in the base-
ment. I love grilling sweet potatoes because
they hold up so well on the heat, so I
washed a few and sliced them into quarter-
inch rounds. They and the asparagus got a
quick coating of extra virgin olive oil and
salt and pepper.
Outside, I uncovered the grill and then
wiped and oiled the
grates. They were in
great shape, and it was
good to see this old
friend. The propane
tank was still full, so I
cranked it on and fired
it up. (Charcoal grills do
provide a better taste,
but you really can’t beat
the ease and conven-
ience of a gas grill.)
As I prepped the
food, Jill prepared cock-
tails. Since emerging
fromthe teetotaling
times of her pregnancy
(aside froma splash of
wine here and there),
we’ve rediscovered the
joys of a good cocktail.
Jill’s been having fun
making up newones, and so she invented a
Valentine’s Day cocktail for the evening. It
was a luscious mixture of pomegranate sour
mix, amaretto, vodka, simple syrup and
sparkling wine. The pomegranate made the
drink pink (howappropriate!), and with the
slight bitter/nuttiness of the liquors, sweet-
ness fromthe syrup, and the dry efferves-
cence of the wine, they combined to make a
delicious and refreshing Valentine’s Day treat.
Back outside, the steaks were cooking on
the grill, and after flipping them, I spooned
a little of the marinade onto the backs of the
two cuts of meat to ensure they were richly
flavored. I then needed to make sure the
marinade heated through totally, since I
didn’t want to cross-contaminate raw beef
back onto the meat after it was done cook-
ing. They smelled amazing as the flames
reached up and licked the undersides.
The discs of sweet potato cooked perfect-
ly, getting a little charred and crispy on the
edges, while remaining soft and sweet
inside. The asparagus, although a little over-
cooked by yours truly, was still wonderful.
Lastly, while the meat rested, I grilled some
foccacia bread, which didn’t take long at all.
There is nothing like oiled and grilled bread.
And just like that, dinner was ready. The
steaks were wonderfully tender, spicy and
sweet with strong hints of ginger and
smoked chili. We devoured them, along
with the potatoes, asparagus and bread.
Berkeley sat contently through the
whole dinner-making process, feeling quite
comfortable in the kitchen making cute lit-
tle baby noises every once in a while. While
we ate, he sat on my lap and enjoyed his
first Valentine’s Day dinner with his two
true loves, his mom and dad. I

RED CROSS
EVENTS
Severe winter weather through-
out much of the eastern half of
the United States in recent weeks
has caused the cancellation of
more than 14,000 blood and
platelet donations through the
American Red Cross approxi-
mately 1,800 units of which were
in the Penn-Jersey Region cover-
ing all of New Jersey and
Southeastern Pennsylvania. The
severity of the impact has
stressed even the Red Cross’
robust national inventory man-
agement system, which can move
blood products to where they’re
needed most, such as when
severe weather hits. The Red
Cross urges all eligible donors in
unaffected areas to make an
appointment to give blood or
platelets in the coming days, and
those in affected areas to donate
as soon as travel is deemed safe,
by calling 1-800-RED CROSS or
visiting www.redcrossblood.org.

“Big D” had a gravelly voice and forceful
bearing befitting his size. He was known to
roam the hallways ambushing young men
with an arm squeeze and a booming, “Hey,
boy, you want to play football?”
As athletic director, he tolerated no
unsportsmanlike conduct by players or fans
in his gym. “He’d just say, ‘You…out,’ if a fan
was misbehaving,” said good friend and
historical committee member Maxine
Mulligan. “He didn’t have to say much.”
If DiTomo wanted to talk to her,
Mulligan said he would simply bark
“C’mere.”
“You always did,” she said.
Some were put off by DiTomo’s man-
ner—one had to get to know him better
before his softer side was revealed.
“I don’t think there was a coach who
didn’t have a difference of opinion with
him,” Casadia said. “The gruffness covered
the good heart, but the good heart always
won out in the end,”
“He was very strong in what he did,”
said DiTomo’s niece, Bernadette Cervino,
a school social worker in Vineland.
“People loved him or hated him.”
Many students, especially his wrestlers,
loved him and his influence on some of
them was lifelong.
“He was the General Patton of South
Jersey—he took no hostages, it was do-or-
die,” said Jerome Lukas, who wrestled for
the coach in the mid-1960s. “He called you
up to your higher self and imparted a lion’s
heart to everybody who knew him: A lot of
people didn’t get that. When someone
actually changes your life, you never forget
them. I loved Tony, he taught me to be
fearless, as I have been through all the
things in my life.”
DiTomo’s life at VHS began when he
played basketball and baseball and ran
track but he is best remembered for his
achievements on the football field. He led
his teams to several titles, including the
South Jersey championship in 1939, when
he was the region’s highest scorer and the
team went undefeated, usually winning by
a lopsided margin. DiTomo went on to play
at Temple and Wake Forest universities
and got a professional contract offer from
the Buffalo Bills of the old All-America
Football Conference.
“He showed it to me, he was very
proud,” Mulligan said, “But it was a pid-
dling amount of money.”
The star turned down the contract and
accepted a different one—from the
Vineland Board of Education.
DITOMO
Continued from cover
DiTomo cast a long shadow, even early on as he led the
1939 VHS football team to an undefeated record. Later,
Coach DiTomo’s wrestling room was dubbed “Misery Hall.”

complex at VHS was named for Tony DiTomo in 2009.

As a teacher, he was fair and unyielding.
At various times, he coached tennis, base-
ball, and football, but was most successful
in wrestling, although he had never been a
wrestler. In his 21-year stint, his squads won
17 county, eight league, five district, and one
South Jersey championship. They were
state runners-up in 1958. Three individual
state champs were forged in DiTomo’s fires.
Later, as athletic director, DiTomo coor-
dinated one of the most successful and
highly respected athletic programs in the
state. He started the school’s boys and girls
soccer, boys and girls swimming, field
hockey, softball, winter cheerleading, girls
cross country, and girls track teams. He
was instrumental in building a pool and
tennis courts. He established the
Monogram Club for student athletes and
helped form the All Sports Booster Club
for parents and fans. He is in the South
Jersey Wrestling, VHS Athletics, and South
Jersey Sports Halls of Fame. He was named
one of the 100 Cumberland County People
of the Century in 2000.
“The thing that impressed me was his
total devotion to Vineland High—morning,
noon, or night, he was there,” said former
VHS principal and Superintendent of
Schools Chalky Ottinger.
“For 40 years, you could drop by the
high school to see Uncle Tony, his car was
always there,” said Cervino. DiTomo drove
a tiny custom-painted blue Volkswagen
Beetle convertible nicknamed “Zoom.”
Despite his achievements and persona,
DiTomo was never self-serving. “He would
be humbled by the attention, he didn’t seek
the limelight,” said Cervino. And despite
his long work hours, DiTomo was dedicat-
ed to family. While he and his wife Mary
didn’t have any children (“It was his
biggest regret,” said Lukas.), his extended
family remembers him fondly.
“He was a great uncle. It was always
about having meals and having fun togeth-
er. He was a loving, loving individual.”
Cervino said.
Yes, there were meals. DiTomo was as
legendary for his culinary skills as he was
for his football. Every year, he’d cook
spaghetti and meatballs with the cafeteria
crew for his athletes. In later years, he
often invited coaches and former coaches
to his house for crabs and spaghetti with
red sauce. (“It was simply out of this
world,” said Casadia.) He also was known
for his pineapple upside-down cake, but a
different dessert may have been his best.
“He was fussy about the way he served
his strawberry shortcake,” said Cervino.
“After his passing, there was actually a
question about who would get his pan.”
DiTomo would have been right at home
in this era of limited budgets. He came of
age during the Depression. His father,
Giovanni, died young and his mother,
Filomena, worked in a factory to support
her six children in their home at Garden
Road and Delsea Drive in Vineland. Being
tight with a dollar came naturally.
In fact, a dollar was how much each
player was allowed for a meal after away
games and meets during the 1970s. “I’d
bring him my receipt,” said Casadia, “and
he’d always ask ‘Any change or did you
spend the whole thing?’ ”
DiTomo’s service to the community was
marked by his help in the founding of, and
serving for decades on, the Vineland
Recreation Commission. He was instru-
mental in establishing the midget football
league and was deeply involved in the
county’s baseball league and in Boy Scouts.
The Coach was Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde. He spoke loudly and carried a small
stick. He is remembered fondly, even by
those who had disagreements with him.
And he touched the lives of thousands of
students and athletes. I
The writer thanks Jerome (Jerry) Lukas,
VHS Class of 1966, for his help with this arti-
cle. Lukas is a senior conceptual designer
and filmmaker living in Arlington, Virginia.
How To Donate
The Vineland High School
Historical Committee is currently
conducting a campaign to raise
money to erect a permanent
memorial to Tony DiTomo at the
athletic fields on East Chestnut
Avenue. The complex was named
for DiTomo in 2009. Local archi-
tect Larry Merighi donated his
services to design the monument
and local contractors will be asked
to construct it at cost.
The group plans to raise
$4,000 for the cost of material
and landscaping. Those donating
at least $100 may have a com-
memorative brick placed in the
walkway. Funds raised above the
cost of the memorial will be used
to start a fund used to help needy
athletes with costs such as equip-
ment and attending clinics.
“I think Tony would want us to
help the kids who need it,” said
project chairperson John Casadia.
“The more money we get, the
more athletes we’ll be able to help
down the road.”
Checks should be made out
and sent to:
VHS Activities Fund/DiTomo
Memorial
VHS South Finance Department
2880 East Chestnut Avenue
Vineland, NJ 08361
Contributions are tax deductible.
Those who want to reserve a brick
or want more information may call
Casadia at 856-297-1294.

Winslow Staff Supports
American Heart Association
The Winslow Elementary School staff
has joined the fight against heart dis-
ease by making a donation and wear-
ing red, which is “National Wear Red
Day 2011," part of the of the American
Heart Association's Go Red for Women
campaign, said Christen Blough, a
basic skills teacher at the school.
The group gathered in the school
cafeteria prior to the school day to
pose for a photo. “All of us have been
touched by heart disease in some way
so this is a wonderful cause to sup-
port,” said Blough.
In the United States, the event is
scheduled on the first Friday in February,
each year. It's part of a campaign that
begins American Heart Month.
Despite the common belief that
women are "protected" from heart dis-
ease by their hormones, at least
through menopause, statistics show
that cardiovascular disease is the No. 1
killer of women 20 years and older at a
rate of one woman every minute. In
fact, more women die of heart disease
than the next four causes of death
combined, including cancer.
Additionally, since 1984, more women
have died of heart disease than men,
and 267,000 women die each year
from heart attacks, according to the
Women's Heart Foundation.
