normally found in the office of a college president, but youll find these items in the office
of Cumberland County College President Dr.
Yves Salomon-Fernandez. She has two kids of her own
ages seven and ninebut the baby products are not
holdovers from their infant years. I often see young parents around campus, so I keep these things in my office
for them, Dr. Salomon-Fernandez said.
On campus, and around Cumberland County, it is not
uncommon to find teen parents; the county has the highest
teen pregnancy rate of all 21 counties in the state of New
Jersey. In Cumberland County, for every 1,000 females
ages 1519, 59 will have a child. (Teen pregnancy data does
not include miscarriages or abortions.) To put this in perspective, Ethiopia, a developing country, has a teen pregnancy rate of 60. And Cumberland County has almost
triple the New Jersey average rate of 20. All this begs the
question: Why is this happening in Cumberland County?

Obstetrics, says she meets with a pregnant teen almost

Vinelands Puerto Rican


Festival draws thousands.
{ BY BLAKE CHRISTY }

ast week, Leonides Negron, the president of the Puerto Rican Festival of New
Jersey, received a call from a Florida
couple planning a trip to Atlantic City. Negron
said that once the couple realized the Puerto
Rican Festival was the same week45 minutes
from AC in Vinelandthey changed their plans.
They were asking me what hotel to stay at
in Cumberland County instead of Atlantic City
because they wanted to go to the parade, said
Negron.
The 49th annual celebration of Puerto
Rican culture is as popular as ever. Last year,
about 20,000 people attended the festival, and
this year festival organizers are expecting even
more. Not only is the festival a celebration of
Puerto Rican culture, it also provides a boost
for businesses in downtown Vineland.
The Puerto Rican Festival is probably one
of the largest events that happens every year in

Howerton Wins National Title


A young woman from Vineland will wear a
national pageant crown for the next 12 months,
representing the area and New Jersey as she
travels the country talking about her platform
"Choose WiseWords," the importance of using
encouraging words instead of slanderous labels.
Rylee Howerton, 10 years old, daughter of
Jeffrey and Julie Howerton and a rising fifth
grader at John H. Winslow elementary school,
was crowned New Jersey Miss Amazing Preteen
in December 2015. On July 3, she was crowned
National Miss Amazing Preteen at the organizations culminating pageant in Chicago, Illinois.
Miss Amazing is a non profit organization who strives to build the confidence
and empower young women with disabilities, through pageantry, and has grown
into the nations leading event circuit dedicated to providing opportunities for girls
and women with disabilities to reach their fullest potential. This years National
Pageant had representatives from 31 states competing for the National Miss
Amazing crown and title.
Mom Julie Howerton said. She worked so hard for several months fundraising
to raise the money to attend the five-day event held in Chicago, and preparing herself to compete in interview, talent and beauty gown areas of competition.... She
has earned her Gold Presidential Volunteer Service award every year since she was
5 years old. She loves helping others, and is fast becoming a celebrity in her community.... She doesn't let her diagnosis of Autism, Epilepsy & Trisomy 18 keep her
from chasing her dreams or reaching her goals."
Since returning from Chicago, Rylee has been actively making her presence
known at such events as the Ability Expo at Stockton University, and at local community events like the Step of Faith Carnival held in Vineland.
Rylee is an honor student, a member of the Chorus and Drama club, and an
avid dancer at Best of Entertainment Dance Academy. In the past she has been a
player for the Challenger League, and a member of the Snow Angels special needs
cheer squad. She has volunteered for many organizations throughout the state of
New Jersey, and she collects gloves and hand warmers to distribute to homeless
people throughout the eastern states when she's traveling.
Rylee is available for appearances and would be honored to be asked to appear
or speak about her platform "Choose Wise Words." To schedule Rylee, contact Julie
Howerton 805-200-8189 or send an email request to QueenRyleeH@gmail.com.

Vineland City Hall Security


Under Review

College Prepares Paralegals


with Spanish Language Skills

Like communities all across the United


States, the City of Vineland is currently
reviewing measures and procedures to
improve safety for employees and individuals conducting business in public buildings
like city hall or the municipal courthouse.
The current review is not related to any
specific incident or event, but has been
under consideration for some time.
The first small change that visitors to
city hall might have already noticed is that
they are now required to enter the building
thru the ground floor entrance where there
is a private security guard on duty during
hours of operation. The second floor
entrance doors are currently locked from
the inside and can only be used to exit the
building. In addition to access control, city
officials are also developing policies and
procedures to help employees deal with a
variety of different emergency situations.

The regions legal market is seeing an


increased demand for law professionals who
have Spanish language skills, and a specialized degree program at Cumberland County
College is responding to that demand.
Paralegal Studies with Spanish language
is a program that prepares students to work
as paralegals who can better serve Spanishspeaking clients. It combines the core paralegal program with 12 credits of proficiency
in written and spoken Spanish.
There are no Spanish language prerequisites for entering the program. Herlihy
says they accept students whove had no

throughout the nation, Sheriff Robert
Austino said, we hope this event will assist
in strengthening the relationship between
law enforcement and our citizens.... We
want the residents of our county to feel safe
and able to call on our officers if they need
help.
The Open House is for the whole family.
Food, face painting, inflatables, K-9 demonstrations and tours of the Sheriffs Office
will be available. Call 856-451-4449, ext.

school, as well as native Spanish speakers.
The paralegal courses are given at night,
which allows students who are working or
those with family obligations to enroll in
the program. The fall semester at CCC

University of Hartford and then graduated
University of Southern California in 1999.
He worked at AT&T for 15 years as a sales
manager. He traveled as far as Australia
and taught English in Japan. But his
favorite was going to all parts of Italy to
visit family.

His 1980 film depicts some apt metaphors during


the citys transformation.

he storyline of Louis Malles


1980 film Atlantic City opens
with the demolition of the
Traymore Hotel, established as
a boarding house in 1879 before expanding to become one of the citys most
renowned facilities during the first half of
the 20th century. It closes with a wrecking
ball destroying another old-time structure.
The footage is a metaphor for the end of
this resorts early incarnation of grand
hotels and amusement piers and heralds
the coming of the casino age. These
images are far from lost on any longtime
resident of this area.
Atlantic City is set in the infancy of the
casino era when only Resorts and Caesars
existed and the town had not yet accustomed itself to the new identity being
forged. Six years earlier, in 1974, voters
had rallied against a referendum to allow
legalized gambling in the town, but in
1976, a change of heart led to the approval
of Atlantic City gambling. In 1978, the
town opened its first legal casino, Resorts,
which had been created from ChalfonteHaddon Hall, a structure formed in the
early 20th century from two 19th century
Quaker rooming houses that had merged.
Caesars followed in 1979 and these early
openings promised to revitalize the location, which had slowly been in decline
since the automobile and air travel made
other resorts easily accessible after World
War II.
Malles film establishes a series of
cross-generational characters caught in a
limbo between Atlantic Citys Golden Age
and the casino era, their allegiances divided between the familiar and the new. Lou
Pascal (Burt Lancaster in his last great
screen performance) and Grace Pinza
(Kate Reid) are the only vestiges of a
bygone period in which he was a bagman
for the mob and she was married to one of
the bosses. Their relationship is fashioned
from convenience, and Grace is willing to
overlook the embellished recollections
Lou shares with strangers, at least until
those accounts endanger them. Sally
Matthews (Susan Sarandon) believes her
future lies at the casinos until her aspirations are interrupted by the arrival of her

ex-husband Dave (Robert Joy), his girlfriend Chrissie (Hollis McLaren) and their
nave attempt to score big in an illicit deal.
Working from a script by playwright
John Guare, Malle tells his cinematic tale
by using the city as a separate character,
his camera catching local signposts that
define the location. Lucy the Elephant,
James V. Laffertys 1881 wood-and-tin
structure built for the purpose of showing
prospective buyers real estate in South
Atlantic City (now Margate) from the vantage point of its height of 65 feet, makes an
appearance. White House Subs, a mainstay
since 1946, the Knife and Fork Inn, originally established as a private club in 1912,
and Resorts also share screen time. The
fact that these landmarks still survive to
this day is a testament to the towns
endurance. Only Club Harlem, which
serves as a meeting place for the deal that
propels the plot, is no longer around. The
Kentucky Avenue venue, established in
1935, was torn down in 1992.
But more than the sites on display, its
the changing fabric of the times that the
film addresses. In the absence of a political machine like the one run by Nucky
Johnson, who is namechecked in the
movie, the focus has shifted from liquor to
drugs and from loyalty to profit. When
Daves deal turns bad, Lou is dragged into
the aftermath along with Sally. Smitten
with her, Lou is briefly allowed to live out
a fantasy existence he no doubt desired
for much of his life. By the films conclusion, however, he discovers his guile challenged by a harsh reality.
Like the Traymore footage, Lou is very
much a metaphor in Atlantic City. He
looks back to older days with a quixotic
view that remains unappreciated by his
younger acquaintances. He runs numbers
in an age when the pull of a lever could
make a casino patron rich. The codes he
upholds have eroded over time but he
understands that his survival may depend
on the changes around him, as the end of
the movie clearly illustrates. Through the
eyes of Guare and Malle, its no different
than a town facing an essential new beginning with trepidation over living up to a
distant past. I

and dance forever in the clouds. She
passed away peacefully on the morning of
July 14, 2016, surrounded by her family
who loved her unconditionally. Lorraine
was the spark of the family. Anyone who
knew her definitely knew she was a stick
of dynamite in a five-foot body. She was
the one everybody went to for help and
good advice. Born in Pomona, she graduated from Egg Harbor City High School in
1950. She moved to Millville and married
the man of her dreams, Al Haines, where
they raised their family. She worked for
Santas Best as a payroll manager for 33
years, retiring in 2007.

FESTIVAL
Continued from cover
the city of Vineland, said Dawn Hunter,
executive director of the Greater Vineland
Chamber of Commerce. Thousands of
people come to the festival from all over
the country, so it could only have a positive impact on local hotels, restaurants,
gas stations and other businesses.
The celebration kicked off with the
Puerto Rican Festivals annual banquet on
Saturday, July 23. Mara de Lourdes Santos,
who has been a long time supporter of the
festival and used to sit on the festivals planning board, is one of this years honorees.
I am honored to be receiving this
recognition from an organization that has
a lot of integrity, said Santos.
Millvilles Mayor Mike Santiago is the
Puerto Rican Festival of New Jerseys
Guanin Recipient, which is the festivals
top honor.
I have goosebumps just thinking that I
am going to be honored by the community
I was raised in, said Mayor Santiago.
The festivities run from Monday, July
25, through to Saturday, July 31, at Landis
Park. On Sunday, the Puerto Rican flag
was raised in front of Vinelands City Hall
to commemorate the start of the weeka
tradition that has sustained for the past 49
years. Each day throughout the week has a
different theme: Senior Citizen Day (July
26), Womens Day (July 27), Youth-Family
Day (July 28), and Folkloric Day (July 29).
One unique feature of Womens Day is
the mammogram van.
So many women do not get checked at
all or are not being checked frequently
enough, said Santos. According to the
Susan G. Komen Foundation, Hispanic
women over the age of 40 are the least
likely racial demographic to have had a
mammogram in the past two years.
Folkloric Day is a celebration of Puerto
Rican culture and heritage. Festival-goers
can expect to see traditional Puerto Rican
improvisational folk music, as well as the
traditional Puerto Rican dance, la plena.

Haiti Mission Trips Led by Pappermans, CCS


Students Recruited
Debi Papperman first went
to Haiti on a missions trip in
2010 as a last-minute substitute. When she returned
home, all she could say to her
husband, who was a physician, was "you just have to go
back with me, they need doctors." So they have returned
four more times.
The most recent trip, in the
spring, was with Feed My
Sheep Ministries in Montrious,
Haiti. They work with orphanages and various outreaches
in the area. Each time they go,
God leads them to do different
things in His namebuilding,
food, de-worming livestock
and people, crafts, VBS, medical clinics, music, resort day,
fellowship, and more.
This year several
Cumberland Christian School
students joined Pappermans
teamRichie Gardenhire,
Aden Herchelroth, Angie
Kuzmicz, Emilyrose Minsky,
Bryan Dawson and Mr. Charles
Caldwell. They raised money for bags of rice and beans to be given out to
the needy. The orphanage and needy were also given goats to provide for
their families. CCS students dewormed livestock for them. The guys were
able to hire and work with Haitians to pour a concrete basketball court and
build a wall. The basketball hoop was carried in a suitcase from America.
They worked extremely hard with these Haitian men in 90 plus degree
weather. In the concrete they placed two 2016 pennies, a CCS school pin,
and wrote in the cement "USA CCS 2016.
Dr. Tom and Debi did four medical clinics where they dewormed children
and treated for scabies, two things that are seen very regularly in Haiti. One
little boy needed to have emergency surgery without anesthesia. Two students
assisted Dr. Tom with this procedure. Mr. Caldwell led in music ministries. He
even sang with the men in the village who sing for food and money.
The children of the orphanage were treated to a special festival with face
painting, crafts, decorations, games and food. Many orphans were invited to
a day at a resort. They were taught to swim and to eat with a fork and knife.
Many individual relationships were developed. Assistance was given to a
mother of four children to secure housing by renting a hut and providing
food, clothes and medical needs. One student is raising money for a little girl
with a heart problem to have a cardiogram and to bring her to the states for
a much-needed cardiac surgery at CHOP.
A flip-flop drive was held by Cumberland Christian Schools first grade
class. The team prayed on the mountains as they went from hut to hut to
give the flip-flops to the residents. CCS third grade students wrote Bible verses and made pictures that were given out to the orphans who returned pictures to these students. Thanks to the generosity of the churches, CCS, families, friends, and colleagues all this was accomplished in Jesus name.
Cumberland Christian School students not only were a blessing, but also
were blessed as they served the Lord.
Debi says The Christian integrity demonstrated by our students from
Cumberland Christian School was amazing! What a blessing for me to experience. The missionaries, Mr. and Mrs. Felemy of Feed My Sheep Ministries,
said they were the best bunch of kids they had ever had at their mission.
They added These students renewed our hope in our youth.

Lower your handicap and shoot lower


scores faster by practicing correctly
and with a purpose.
Forty percent of the golf game is played
on or around the putting green. Seventy
percent of golf is played from 100 yards in
to the putting green. The number one reason amateur golfers do not improve their
handicap and shoot lower scores is
because they are not practicing correctly
or with a purpose.
Next time you are at the driving range,
fight the urge to hit the long ball with the
driver and work on shots from 100 yards
and in. More importantly, try to hit multiple clubs to the same target to develop a
variety of different ball flights. This will
help you prepare for unexpected conditions, such as wind and rain, as well as for
trouble shots, such as getting over a
bunker or out from under a tree.
Practice Putting with a Purpose!
Make every stroke count on the practice green. A great way to do that is with a
par-5 game. Set balls at distances of four
feet, seven feet and 30 feet from a cup. Try
to hole all three balls in five strokes or
less. This drill gets you focused on making
putts instead of mindlessly rapping them
toward the hole.

separating all holes. The natural sloping of
the golf course emphasizes pinpoint positioning of golf shots. They include the
whopping 621-yard, par 5 #7 and the
biting par 4 #9 hole, where golfers are
forced to hit their second shot over a
deceiving double green, guarded by water.

Capizola Gets Hole In


One at Chamber Tourney
The Greater Vineland Chamber of
Commerce (GVCC) hosted its annual
golf classic for the 26th year. They
had a beautiful day at Running Deer
Golf Club in Pittsgrove. The golfers
began their day with some encouraging words from sports celebrity
and golf course owner Ron Jaworski.
The GVCC had a lot of fun and
valuable prizes for the golfers,
including a $100,000 cash prize
sponsored by Newfield National
Bank. There was a hit the bullseye on the tree or come closest to
the tree and win a chainsaw from
LaTorre Hardware. If you landed in
the water, you won a gift certificate
from Al & Sams Canoes & Kayaks!
The first-place team had a score
of 14 under! That was the TD Bank
team of Kevin Gibala, Adam Bracy,
Mike Capriotti and Thomas Kalick.
They won a private airplane
roundtrip flight to a location of
their choice.
The most excitement of the day
was created by Pete Capizola of
Newfield National Bank who hit a
hole in one on a contest hole. Pete

PREGNANCY
Continued from cover

THE BIRDS AND THE BEES


The Vineland and Bridgeton school systems have been teaching about the advantages and disadvantages of contraception.
Vinelands Board of Education website states
that sex-ed is taught beginning in fifth grade
by encouraging abstinence and that by eighth
grade, contraception is brought into the conversation. In Bridgeton, sex-ed and birth
control are taught in the middle school, and
by ninth grade students are receiving contraception demonstrations in class.
Community leaders and experts all agree
that it is vital to have an open conversation
with adolescents about safe sex. I think its
a missed opportunity in our publicly funded
schools if we are not providing students
with the education, said Dr. SalomonFernandez, Cumberland County College
president.
Many feel sex-ed is simply not enough.
Dr. Riley advocates for contraception to be
available at all public schools in the county.

SOURCE: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

nence, but broaden the horizon to be more


about contraception and the different types
of contraception, he said. But once again,
with a primary base still focused on abstinence being the best way to reduce pregnancies. An evidence-based program means
pregnancy prevention, contraception, STDs,
healthy relationshipswith parents, peers,
and partnersare discussed.
Mary Anna Ledden is the director of
Millvilles school-based youth service program, LINK, which is managed by Inspira
Health Network. She and her team are helping Millville to develop a new sex education
program. While an evidence-based program
should have already been adopted in
Millville to be in accordance with the New
Jersey standards, Ledden says not speaking
about the taboo topic became customary: It
was the norm within this community, and
even though you see the norm isnt working,
sometimes that is more comfortable.
Ledden is hoping to gain approval from
Millville to go one step further than just
teaching about contraception, by making birth
control and condoms available in school.
LaGamba said he and the school district
have held meetings with parents, clergy, and

Critics argue it is not the responsibility of


the schools to provide access to contraception. Young people can go to Title X-funded
family planning clinics and receive birth
control without parental consent and on a
sliding fee scale. However, while the services are available, they are not always easily
accessible. Michelle LaRue, director of education at the Title X-funded FamCare, said
lack of public transportation is the biggest
obstacle for teens trying to get affordable
contraception in the community.
BRIDGETONS BABY BOOM
Bridgeton High School has consistently
had the most teen pregnancies in the county.
Bridgetons federally funded Adolescent
Pregnancy Prevention Initiative (APPI),
which is managed by Complete Care, started
providing birth control, Depo-Provera shots
(the shot prevents pregnancies for three
months), and condoms in the citys high
school six years agoand noticed the benefits almost immediately.
When the program started, in the 20102011 school year, there were 34 documented
pregnancies. In subsequent years, the number of pregnancies continually dropped. By

the 2014-2015 school year, there were only


14 reported pregnancies. This decrease in
pregnancies, from 34 to 14 births, possibly
saved taxpayers $504,600 over the next 15
years, based on the aforementioned National
Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancys data.
The results indicated that providing methods of contraception, and educating students
about their advantages and disadvantages,
might have worked.
However, in this past school year, 20152016, something changed as Bridgeton
reported 31 known pregnanciesalmost the
same number in Bridgeton as before contraception was offered. It was very frustrating
to all of us, APPIs director Megan
Vengenock said. We dont know if it was
just an off year [or what].
In fact, eight of the 31 pregnant students
had transferred into the school district this
year from Mexico and Guatemala already
pregnant.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The spike in pregnancies seen in
Bridgeton confirms Friddells belief that the
challenge is not simply whether to teach
abstinence-only versus evidence-based sex
education. She said the issue runs much
deeper than that. Dr. Kelly agreed with
Friddell. You cannot only throw out facts
about STDs, and anatomy, and sex, she
said. You have to give teens a sense of selfworth, you have to give them goals, you
have to give them something other than
seeking attention from a sex partner and
these lessons need to start early, before the
onset of sexual activity.
Friddell has recently applied for a federal
grant, through the Administration on
Children, Youth, and FamiliesFamily and
Youth Services Bureau, to develop a comprehensive sex-education program to address
the larger issues of teen pregnancy in
Cumberland Countyhealthy relationships,
adolescent development, financial literacy,
parent-child communication, and educational and career success.
The grant would help Friddell to provide
an after-school program to 90 students at
Vinelands Veterans Memorial Intermediate
School, Millvilles Lakeside Middle School,
and Bridgetons Broad Street Elementary
School who are most at-risk of becoming
teen parents. Hispanic, Latino, American
Indian, and socioeconomically disadvantaged youth of any race or ethnicity are most
at risk of becoming a teen parent. Friddells
grant would potentially address adolescent
pregnancy in what she says is the most
effective wayby being consistent, on-going,
and comprehensive.
Cumberland County Colleges new president, Dr. Salomon-Fernandez, is thinking
about teen pregnancy more than ever, and not
just because she has to keep track of her inventory of PediaSure and other baby supplies.
As Dr. Salomon-Fernandez said, I think
what we need to remember is that if a young
woman has a child, life does not stop. She
added, It is in our best interest as a community to make sure that those who choose to
move forward are supported fully. I

every day. During her many years practicing medicine, she has noticed that people
are not aware of the extent of the problem.
We have been leading the state in most teen
pregnancies per-capita, Dr. Kelly said. If
you look at the trend, we have been at the
bottom almost continually, so clearly everything we have been doing has not worked.
When the teen pregnancy rate is as high
as Cumberland Countys, it becomes a community issue. Dr. Joseph P. Riley, an obstetrician in Bridgeton, believes its a complete
public healthcare failure.
We have to start treating it as the public
health problem it is, he said.
The National Campaign to Prevent Teen
and Unplanned Pregnancies estimates that
the average taxpayer costs associated with a
child born to a teen is about $1,682 per year
from birth to age 15. The 2,280 teen births in
Cumberland County in 2015 could cost taxpayers $57.5 million over the next 15 years.
Teen parents are also more likely to drop
out of high school. Only an estimated 40
percent of teen parents will earn their high
school degree. Lower academic attainment
means a less productive and lower-skilled
workforce, leading to higher unemploymentall factors that could result in a cycle
of reliance on public services.
The majority of teens in Cumberland
County will not become pregnant, but simply
living in a community with a high teen pregnancy rate is cause for concern. A high teen
pregnancy rate is evidence that many adolescents are having unprotected sex, which puts
teens in the community at a higher risk of
contracting a sexually transmitted disease
(STD). In fact, Cumberland County also has
the highest STD rate in the state.
Among adolescent development and
health professionals, the consensus has been
that in order to prevent teen pregnancies,
educators need to reach children during
their formative years.
Education has to start early, before the
onset of sexual activity has occurred, Dr.
Kelly said. The Guttmacher Institute estimates that the average teen is sexually active
by age 17. This does not mean that we have
to go in and start talking about sex in fourth
grade, but it does mean that we have to be
talking about trust, and talking about relationship building, and confidence building,
Dr. Kelly said.
Kimberly Friddell, executive director of
Inspiras Innovative Model for Preschool and
Community Teaming (IMPACT), has been
on the front lines of addressing teen pregnancy in Cumberland County for more than
15 years. When asked if the school systems in
Cumberland County are doing enough, she
said, No, we do not do enough.

Standards (NJCCCS), schools should not


limit sex education to abstinence-only lessons. In fact, their website explicitly states,
The NJCCCS require instruction regarding
multiple methods of contraception; therefore, a school that chooses an abstinenceonly curriculum as its only instructional
program is not in compliance with the standards that specifically require students to
understand abstinence, as well as contraception and disease prevention.
This February all federal funding was cut
to abstinence-only programs after a study by
prominent sexual health researcher Douglas
Kirby concluded that there is no proof that
abstinence-only education delays the initiation of sex.
For years, the Millville School District
has been teaching abstinence-only despite
NJCCC standard. Dave LaGamba, Millvilles
health supervisor, says the District has recognized the ineffectiveness of abstinenceonly education and is working toward teaching contraception, starting in the fall.
We are looking to go more into an evidence-based program to focus on absti-

illville personal trainer Nate


Offer has been a dedicated
Zumba instructor for the
past three years. In 2014, he
established the fitness group Dreams 2
Reality with co-creator Rickey Hinds.
However, Offers own dreams of winning big in the national Who Can Rock Da
Crowd dance-fitness battle were nearly
shattered after his team failed to qualify as
a finalist in the tournaments preliminary
stop in Atlanta, GA, this past spring.
While Dreams 2 Reality specializes in a
variety of different exercise techniques and
nutritional coaching out of its High Street
training facility, its focus has shifted to
dance-fitness over the past few months
while participating in Who Can Rock Da
Crowd, a three-day dance-fitness convention being held in several cities across the
country this year.
Following its runner-up finish in
Atlanta, Offer and his motivational fitness
team were encouraged to try again at the
June competition held in Boston, MA.
We made such an impact in Atlanta,
everybody felt that we should have won,
says Offer, 26. [So] the creator of [the competition] gave us another opportunity. He
said, I want to see you all in the finale so
give it all you got. I want you to battle it out
in Boston.
Thankfully, the team decided to give it
one more try and, after finishing in first
place in Boston, will be on their way to the
finale in Las Vegas slated to be held this
November.
Along with Atlanta and Boston, the
dance-fitness battle hits Orlando, FL, in
July, according to its official Web site
(whocanrockdacrowed.com).
In Boston, Offer and his team (including
Steven Ribot, Yariliz Feliciano, Jeanie
Laboy and Roxana Veliz) not only won first
place and a spot in the tournament finale,
but also received a check for $1,000.
We brought the trophy and the check
back to the gym, says Offer. Were all one
family; we all got this as one team. This is
our trophy, this is our check.
The funds earned by D2R were given to
a very influential person in Offers lifehis
pastor, Apostle Darlene Bryant, of
Christlike Ministries of Deliverance
International, in Vineland.
Bryant has been a mentor to Offer since
he was a small child. For nearly two decades,
the pastor has been in his life, making sure
Offer and his family were provided for.
When I was younger, says Offer, I
didnt have a lot of things. My mom, she
worked really hard, but she had four kids
to provide for.
Offer adds: I gave [Pastor Bryant] a dol-

lar and I told her one day this dollar is


going to have a lot of zeros behind it and
Im going to make that a promise to you.
Offer says that Bryant takes everything
that she gets and puts it back to the
church, or to make sure that people who
dont really have much have something.
She is always thinking about someone
before herself.
After returning from Boston, Offer met
with Bryant. I told her, I want you to use
this check for you, he says.
Who Can Rock Da Crowd is made up of
several national competitions featuring
dance crews putting their fitness routines
to the test in front of a star-studded
celebrity judging panel and hundreds of
people, according to the competitions official site. The winners of each citys event

will compete against each other in Las


Vegas, NV, this fall to determine one team
as the 2016 champion.
After performing in front of nearly 200
people in Boston, Offer expects a crowd of
well over 500 people in Las Vegas.
Although plans are still being finalized for
the finale, the D2R team is slated to compete against four other competition winners, battling to determine who will take
home the trophy, another $1,000 cash prize
and celebrity exposure. I

Jersey Shine Opens at Millville Airport


Carl L. Coombs III started East Coast Distilling in 2014. The Coombs family
has a long history of producing wine and spirits privately, which Carl wanted
to share with the area. Borrowing some of his familys moonshine recipes, Carl
created Jersey Shine, an all-natural line of flavored moonshines. He spent a
couple years handling the hundreds of details needed to put a craft distillery
together, and in the Spring of 2016, partnered with private investor Paul Krug, to
bring Jersey Shine to the marketplace.
East Coast Distilling is located within the Millville Municipal Airport complex
in Millville. There, they produce a line of moonshine branded as Jersey Shine. It
is a grain-neutral spirit infused with all-natural (no preservatives) juices.
Currently, they produce five flavored moonshinesApple Pie, Black Cherry,
Cranberry, Lemonade and Strawberry. The Tasting Room features weekend
tours with tastings. They have also started distribution to local bars and stores
and hope to expand that part of the business.
Moonshine has a reputation of being really dangerous, and a product some
are hesitant to try. Carl points out that while moonshine is a fun name for the
drink, it is technically natural grain spirits made out of corn from a local South
Jersey farm.
The Grand Opening will be held on Saturday, July 30. Come out and wish
these young entrepreneurs well. You will
also be able to take a tour, get three (.5
oz) free samples of your choosing, grab
something to eat from a food truck, and
meet the owners/head distiller.
Tasting Room hours are Friday and
Saturday noon to 8 p.m., and Sunday
noon to 6 p.m. Visit
drinkjerseyshine.com for details.
