ts 3 p.m. Do you know where your child is? For
many parents who live in inner city Vineland, the
answer is nowhich, all too often, means that chil-
dren are home alone, in trouble, or on the streets.
These kids for whatever reason fall between the
cracks, said Chris Volker, Chief Professional Officer of
the Boys & Girls Club of Vineland. These are the ones
our Club was formed to help.
Help they have. Since 2004, when the Vineland Boys
& Girls Club was officially chartered, it has touched the
lives of thousands of Greater Vinelands inner city
youth. With the new school year upon us, the parents
of more than 150 children (on a daily basis) can take
comfort in knowing that their kids are spending those
critical after-school hours in the care of the Boys &
Girls Club. Each afternoon, they receive a healthy
snack, get help with homework and play learning
games. But thats not all. They can also take part in the
Clubs many educational, healthy lifestyle and good
character and citizenship programsand maybe even
learn a boxing move or two! Most important, they are
among friendsand safe.
Our goal is to reach as many children as possible
and to help them realize their full potential, says
Volker. We work with boys and girls ages six to 18 and
stress the importance of getting a good education, liv-
ing a healthy lifestyle and believing in themselves. In
essence, the Boys & Girls Club works to shape and save
lives by keeping children involved in activities designed
to help themgrowinto responsible, productive and caring

Does and Donts
{ BY PAUL J. DOE, FORMER EDITOR, CUMBERLAND NEWS }
Recall Revelry
S
adly, we never get to ponder
whether to be or not to be,
because it always seems we are so
worried about whats next. Week
before last my friend, Mickey Brandt, did a
masterful job summing up the ill-conceived
attempt to recall Mayor Bermudez.
He answered just about every conceiv-
able question regarding the recall effort
from its big-bang conception to its wimper-
ing conclusion.
The recall was, I believe, more about
embarrassing the Mayor than it ever was
about getting him out of office.
And, in fact, if that was their intention,
then the effort could just as easily be called
a success as a failure.
For most, if not all, of the winter and
spring there were constant front-page sto-
ries and chatter around town about the
mayors missteps and mistakes.
Then, just when the recall group got the
extension it sought to collect the last few
needed signatures, those stories just dried
right up.
So, the question now is the inevitable,
whats next?
The first two years of the Mayors term
have been pretty much a graveyard in terms
of accomplishments.
But the blame for that has to be shared
equally by city council.
And, a quick look in the crystal ball
seems to indicate that there is no happy
ending in store for the taxpayers.
There are multiple lawsuits yet to be
resolved.
The mayor is stuck with a legal advisor
he doesnt want. Council is stuck with may-
oral appointments it doesnt like. Taxpayers
are stuck with a council and mayor that
havent accomplished much of anything.
I wish I could believe that the end of the
recall campaign signaled the end of some-
thing, but the real truth of the matter is
that whatever is next will probably be just
as big a waste of time.

he Drifters. What a perfect name
for a musical group that had mem-
bers drift in and out since the early
1950s. Clyde McPhatter, Ben E. King, etc.
But all through the years, youll find one
constantCharlie Thomas. Every Drifters
song through those yearsHoney Love,
Money Honey, On Broadway, Save The
Last Dance For Me, Some Kind of
Wonderful, This Magic Moment,
Under The Boardwalk, Up on the Roof
and so many othershas Charlie Thomas
voice on them. Hes the only living man
that can say that. He even sang lead vocals
on songs like Sweets for My Sweet and
When My Little Girl Is Smiling.
A true musical legend, Charlie Thomas
was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame with the Drifters in 1988, quite an
honor for a man who has been singing for
more than 60 years. In addition to that,
Charlie Thomas has been honored by the
Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the
Hollywood Walk of Fame among many oth-
ers. Charlie Thomas and the Drifters have
sold more than 200 million albums in
America alone.
For many years, fake Drifters have
tried to bilk the public by claiming to be the
Drifters but the fact is this: If its not
Charlie Thomas, then its not the Drifters.
Under the direction of Jon Bauman,
(Bowzer from Sha Na Na), many good
politicians have made it illegal here in New
Jersey (and 48 other states) to perform
unless you are who you say you are. Charlie
Thomas Drifters are and always have been
the real deal.
We in South Jersey have a rare opportu-
nity to see this legendary group in concert.
The Levoy Theatre is very proud to present
Charlie Thomas Drifters live on Friday
evening, September 12, at 8 p.m. Via tele-
phone, Charlie Thomas states: Me and the
guys are very excited to perform for you
south jersey folks. I promise we are all
going to have a good time at the Levoy.
We'll be performing a bunch of our hits and
we expect you folks to sing along with us.
The concert will be hosted by Corky
Warren of Corkys Time Machine TV
Show. His program airs on Comcast chan-
nel 190 here in South Jersey and
www.corkvstimemachine.com on the inter-
net worldwide.
Tickets are available at tbe box office
oftbe Levoy at 130 N. High Street in
Millville, visiting www.levoy.net or simply
by calling the Levoy at 856-327-6400. This
is truly an event that shouldnt be missed.
Danny and The Juniors said many years
ago that Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay
and thanks to venues such as the Levoy
Theatre, it remains a true statement. I

What HealthSouth
Patients Are Saying
My case manager had all of
the details of my discharge
planning perfectly coordi-
nated including my initial
outpatient PT appointment.
Excellent care -
therapy gave me
confidence that I
would succeed.
Fantastic program!
The nursing staff is the best.
They help with anything you
need I could not have asked for
finer care from my nurses. I was
treated in a dignified and
respectful manner by all.
Physical therapists helped me to not
feel discouraged with my very limited
mobility. Their constant reminders of

M
ost people know they need to
eat a healthier diet (primarily
cutting back on animal-based
foods (meat, dairy products and eggs),
and eating more plant-based foods
(whole grains, fruits and vegetables,
beans and legumes, and nuts and
seeds). However, most people don't
know what to eat, how to shop for, and
how to prepare meals that are based on
plants.
That's where Food for Living can
help! Christine Scalfo, the founder of
Food for Living says, "I bridge the gap
between what you know you should be
eating...and eating it!"
It's certainly not rocket science, but it
can be challenging to start eating and
preparing unfamiliar foods when you've
been eating a certain way for so long.
Having support makes it easier.
Christine's goal isn't to get people to
become vegan (unless they choose to).
It's to help people increase plant foods
in their diet, slowly and gradually. Soon,
as you start feeling better and having
more energy, you'll want to continue eat-
ing this way.
Plant-based diets are helpful in the
prevention, treatment, and reversal of
many diseases, including:
Cardiovascular disease
Kidney Disease
Cancer
Auto-immune disease
Alzheimer's disease
Gallbladder disease
Food for Living offers a variety of
services, including:
Diet coaching
Private and Group Cooking Classes
Personal Chef Services
Lectures and Workshops
Christine is certified as a Health
Coach through the Institute for
Integrative Nutrition, and in Plant-based
nutrition through the T. Colin Campbell
Foundation for Nutrition Studies. She is
a member of the United States Personal
Chef Association, the South Jersey
Personal Chef Association and is
ServSafe certified.

A
s formats for standardized testing change and SATs and ACTs con-
tinue to open doors to tuition grant rewards and acceptance at qual-
ity universities nationwide, the need for test-taking guidance
becomes increasingly important for college-bound high school students.
Grade A Tutoring provides that direction.
Grade A Tutoring was born in 2008 when owner Vince Farinaccio, a former
high school English teacher and current college professor with 35 years of experi-
ence, saw the need for students to improve their test-taking skills. His one-on-one
tutoring has resulted in an average 50-point increase in test scores for his stu-
dents and also has enhanced their writing skills.
This semesters SATs begin in October and continue
through the school year and Farinaccio encourages an
average of six weeks of preparation for students. To
schedule tutoring sessions, he can be reached at
856-697-5251 or at [email protected].
