I News in Brief
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.

I News in Brief
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.

is the ninth fund donation item, listed
between NJ Veterans Haven Support

Disney’s Jungle Book and Art Show To Be
Presented at St. Mary's School in Vineland
St. Mary’s drama students and Grace Hoffner, director, are proud to present Disney’s
Jungle Book on Friday, March 4, in the School Gym. Tickets are priced at $10 each
and includes light refreshments. The performance is open to the general public and
the show begins at 7 p.m. A rainforest-themed Art Show will compliment Jungle
Book. Students’ artwork from Kindergarten through 8th grades will be showcased.
The art teachers, Grace Hoffner and Loren Train have coordinated their efforts in
order to put this program together.
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.
