T
his is a story of lives enhanced by an unusual
approach to health and well-being for seniors,
which has its home at Grant Avenue and
Delsea Drive in Vineland but reaches well beyond.
It's a story of elderly men and women, on the
verge of being relegated to nursing homes, who have
instead remained living in their own communities.
The Inspira LIFE program is a protective health-
care net and the help it gives its participants ranges
from doing their laundry to saving their lives.
When you enroll in Living Independently for Elders
(the full name), all your health care needs, including
emergency intervention, are met by the single system.
There are, of course, doctors and nurses. But there are
also therapists for recreation and rehabilitation; dental,
vision, and mental health care; one-on-one sensory
training for the cognitively impaired; a pharmacy; dieti-
cians and catered meals; home care aides to help you
where you live; a web of support for your family; and
free transportation to get you where you want to go.
And, yes, there really is a laundry service.

eyond the plate glass storefront and the museum-
like display of pristine ceramic vases and
sculptures, there rests a crypt full of undead
creaturesmonsters from your worst nightmares.
For the last year, Tom Kollmer, a 25-year old
Buena native, has conducted a Mask Making and
Special Effects Makeup class at Clay College in
Millville. The class teaches students the art of
sculpting monsters from clay, which are eventually
used to make wearable masks.
On display in the studio when this reporter visited
was a horned, skull-like creature, with menacing eyes
and melting flesh; a fully painted Joker mask, based on
the character from the Batman comics; a Martian with
a massive brain from the feature film Mars Attacks;
and an unfinished sculpture of a Velociraptor head,
molded by Kollmer. These are just a few of the many
masks students have made since the class first began.
What were doing here is something thats not
really like anything else around, said Kollmer. You
can go to the Art Institute of Philadelphia, but Im not
even sure they do masks like this. This is a special thing.
Kollmer first became interested in special effects as
a kid watching movies like The Thing and Jurassic
Park. Dinosaurs, in particular, are close to his heart.
I wanted to be a paleontologist, but I dont have
the time for that type of schooling, he joked as he
showed me the Velociraptor sculpture.
Instead, he attended the Douglas Education Center

It's the proverbial holistic approach to
care except in the LIFE environment the
outsider can sense how well it worksin
practice as well as in theory. Evaluations of
the medical outcomes and cost-effective-
ness bear this out. Such measurement is an
important aspect of the changing world of
treatment under the Affordable Healthcare
Act (otherwise known as Obamacare).
LIFE is not comparable to an adult day
care system and no participant can sign up
for just attendance at the center. It's all or
nothing, including changing from your pri-
mary care physician to one with the pro-
gram. Participants each have a personalized
plan of care, carefully developed with them,
their doctors, and their family and care-
givers. It may include attendance at the day
program, but it might be home-based. LIFE
functions as its own insurance company, so
doctors don't need approval for decisions.
End of life palliative care can be part of the
treatment plan. There is no contract, so you
are free to opt out at any time.
LIFE began in August, 2011, and the
effort has swept broadly over our area's
healthcare landscape.
Director of Marketing Sherry Munyan
said, I attribute our success to our reputa-
tion and the quality of care that we provide.
We are a tremendous resource to our com-
munity with the services we give to those
who would not normally have these
options.
Coinciding with my visit there last Friday,
the center was having 50s Day, one of a
series of theme events, and one of many
effortsboth large and smallthat keep par-
ticipants as healthy and as happy as possible.
There was a DJ who sang and danced and
many staff members wore clothing styles of
the period. The two-year-old facility was
fresh and bright. Staff members seemed to be
everywhere; in my first five minutes there, I
saw at least a dozen. Some danced with par-
ticipants to the Doo Wop tunes. Despite the
reality of age and infirmity, there was an
upbeat air that went beyond the music.
Lorraine Barner, a driver aide, talked
about her work helping riders in the vans
that transport everyone to the center and
take them to appointments and outings.
They like to get me to sing, she said. I
can't sing, but they always ask me and I do
it, she said. It's great fun.
Nicole Roller is director of quality,
which, no surprise, makes her especially
proud of the program's quality.
Many of the participants were frequent
fliers to the ER, we've drastically reduced
that. One man had been to the ER 12 times
in the recent past. In that same time period
here, it was once, she noted.
I had to talk quickly to Bridgeton resident
Charles Hobson, 62, because he was on his
way to Wal-Mart in the van to do a little shop-
ping. He is a stroke, heart attack, and coma
survivor who said he's doing well, relatively.
At the day center, he said, I get to exer-
cise my brain. He plays chess, dominoes,
and computer pinball.
There was a lot of motion around me as I
toured. Very fewparticipants were sitting still,
even though many need walkers or wheel-
chairs for mobility When they did sit, they
drank coffee and chatted and it was hard to
distinguish the scene from one at the Golden
Palace restaurant a quarter-mile south.
Private pay, insured, and Medicare par-
ticipants are enrolled in LIFE, but most par-
ticipants are low income and qualify for
PACE (Program for All-Inclusive Care for
the Elderly) Medicaid. For them, there are
no out-of-pocket costs, according to
Munyan. Enrollment has grown to 137, and
is projected at 220 in 2014.
There are about 90 PACE sites nation-
wide with four in New Jersey.
Munyan said the greatest referral
sources are the participants themselves who
are happy with what they get and tell their
friends, neighbors, and family.
Here's one more example of what makes
these referrals happen. I asked Director of
Nursing Carlos Perez if his job was hard.
He said, You make it look easy. You plan
carefully and you make it about them, not
about you. We check our egos at the door.
LIFE is good. I
Inspira LIFE, based at 2445 South Delsea
Drive in Vineland, is open to qualifying sen-
iors 55 and up from Cumberland and parts of

LIFE CENTER
Continued from cover
MOMENTS
Early in my visit to LIFE last week
(on 50's Day), I ran into a woman in
a poodle skirt, who turned out to be
Debby VanMeter, recreation therapist
and, apparently, the center's designated
hugger. She was telling me about her
outfit and many other costumes and
props she has made when participant
Cordelia Pitt, 62, of Millville, passed by.
I have one of those, and the bobby
socks, too, she chimed in. I was the
hottest one on the road.
This is what we call a moment of
joy, VanMeter said. When I can trigger
a memory and make someone smile.
The moments are numerous here;
they are my reward for what I do.
I felt rewarded, too, even though it's
been 50 years since I had my duck tail.

Loved One Lost
For Kristen Freeman
9/18/90 - 7/22/06
Summer is a carefree time when days just seem to slip right by. And
while the day you left us so swiftly has come and gone, we still remember
all the joy you gave us. Like those sunrise practices at Dolphin and all those
challenging hypnoxic sets that burned your lungs and left you gasping for a
breath. While rest between those grueling sets always seemed way too short,
you somehow managed a smile or wink of an eye just to let a teammate
know they could do it and should never give up.
You touched our hearts in so many ways and left
us with memories that will last a lifetime.
Love,
Coach John Casadia, Jr. and
the Dolphin Swim Team Family
In Loving Memory

T
he members of Atlantic Street
House (ASH) commune that
existed in 1970s Bridgeton all
agree that their choice of munici-
pality was the correct one for various rea-
sons. But the relationship between this
intentional community and its host city was
more interactive than most communes and
municipalities of the time.
Vineland and Millville were also options
during the 1972 search for a house but, as
ASH co-founder Ed Nakawatase explained,
Bridgeton had advantages over the other
two Cumberland County cities. Bridgeton
had cheaper and older housing and seemed
a bit less suburbanized than the other two,
he said, certainly less so than Vineland.
Living in the smallest of the three towns, we
were able to be active on the local level with
some impact, probably more quickly than
we might have in the other two places.
Several members were already Bridgeton
residents, which Nakawatase saw as another
benefit. We were, for the most part, local
people, he explained. So the argument
about being outsiders didnt work to fright-
en people away from us. I mean, we might
have been perceived as crazy, but we were
local crazy people, not hated outsiders.
Jeanne [Garrison] and Ginny [Sheppard],
like me, were from the Bridgeton area.
Maggie [DeMarco], Dave [Fava], and Geoff
[Agrons] were also homegrown people,
Vineland in their case.
Agrons recalls ASHs neighbors as anoth-
er plus for the commune. Of the competing
Cumberland County communities, he said,
Bridgeton proved the best choice. Our
neighbors were so unpredictable and eccen-
tric that we escaped scrutiny, and by com-
parison seemed mainstream.
Bridgeton was affordable, diverse and
kind of quirkya good place for all of us,
explained Nancy Sowell, another resident
who arrived in 1976. ASH was right in the
village. There were other like-minded folks
living in and around town that were part of
our larger community. ASH acted as a meet-
ing place for people wanting to organize
various community action efforts. I remem-
ber many grassroots political meetings tak-
ing place there.
Given the background of its founding
members, its not surprising that ASH took
such an interest in Bridgetons wellbeing.
Nakawatase had been part of the Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee, working in the
civil rights movement in the South as well
as in the War on Poverty in South Jersey
and the American Friends Service
Committee (AFSC) in Philadelphia.
DeMarco, who had worked with Native
Americans in Arizona as a VISTA volunteer,
also devoted her time to anti-poverty efforts
in southern New Jersey.
Weekly Sunday night meetings held at
the ASH residence included a separate ses-
sion to discuss the communes involvement
in the community and, DeMarco points out,
accomplishments were made.
Take a look at a list of the involvements,
she related. [There was] Boss (Blacks on the
South Side), a Bridgeton youth movement
started by DeEdwin Hursey, the youngest
son of a locally prominent black family. We
served in a supportive role on boards and
committees and finding funding. The Tri-
County Mobe, [was comprised of ] local resi-
dents across a large age range mobilizing
against the Vietnam War. My favorite mem-
ory of Mobe is the float of a phoenix that we
ran in Vinelands Thanksgiving Parade.
[Also] womens support groups, AFSC work
and local gadfly work to get Federal
Community Development Block Grant
funds to be directed toward the needs of
low and moderate income residents, as
mandated in the regulations.
These achievements were part of a busy
schedule that also included household
chores and day jobs that most of the resi-
dents maintained. I worked at the AFSC in
Philadelphia for most of that early time at
Atlantic Street House, Nakawatase
recalled. Dave Fava worked for the New
Jersey Employment Service, Maggie
DeMarco worked at DeCou Nurseries, Ceci
[Fava] was a full-time mother, though she
did work for Prudential for a stretch, Ginny
had a number of odd jobs, later becoming a
bus driver, Jeanne Garrison, I think, was
starting her career as a librarian [at
Bridgeton Hospital as Medical Librarian
and Medical Staff Secretary] and Susan
Renton was an elementary school teacher.
Perhaps the best evidence of the com-
munes integration into the Bridgeton sys-
tem arrived prior to ASHs dissolution. To
the shock of all, Nakawatase explained, I
wound up being elected to the Bridgeton
Board of Education in 1978! I

Vineland Intersection Becomes
All-Way Stop
The Vineland intersection of NW
Boulevard and Weymouth Road perma-
nently became an all-way stop recently.
This is the third intersection in

crossings safer for area drivers.
The Cumberland County Freeholder
Board authorized the changes following a
road safety study by a team from Rutgers
University. Drivers are urged to use caution
and not assume other vehicles will stop
until the public is more familiar with the
new traffic patterns.

Vineland High Interact Club Donates To YMCA
The Vineland High School Interact Club
is an active club of local students. They
hold a variety of fundraisers each year to
benefit the community and recently donat-
ed $750 to the YMCA of Vineland.
Melanie Druzakio, Rotary Club of
Vineland Youth Service director, coordi-
nates Interact activities. She explained,
The students work extremely hard for the
money they raise and they thought hard
about where the funds should go. The YMCA is a charitable, nonprofit, and
cause-driven organization that focuses on youth development, healthy living, and
social responsibility. It gives support and resources for people to be more
healthy, confident, connected, and secure. So, the VHS Interact Club made a
donation to their cause to thank them for making Vineland a better place.
The Vineland High School Interact Club has participated in numerous pro-
grams at the local YMCA, including Spooktacular, Swim with Santa, Healthy Kids
Day, and the Camp Merrywood clean-up.

in Monessen, PA. While there, he partici-
pated in Tom Savinis Special Makeup
Effects Program. Though he earned a
degree in specialized business, the train-
ing he received in Savinis course, coupled
with his background in sculpture, gave
Kollmer the skills he needed to become a
bona fide special effects artist.
Now he passes those skills onto others.
In his 10-week class, Kollmer shows
students how to chisel their sculpture
from clay, before detailing and finishing it.
Once a sculpture is complete, the students
are shown how to cast it in plaster and
pour latex into the mold it creates. Once
dry, the latex mask is painted with special
effects makeup.
No experience is necessary to take the
course, and many of the students take the
class simply for entertainment. Some
arent even enrolled at Cumberland
County College.
Sam Hines, 20, is a Psychology major.
She was inspired to take Kollmers class
this past spring after seeing SyFys Face
Off, a reality show that pits special effects
makeup artists against one another.
Once I saw that show, I thought it
would be really cool to do it, Hines said.
Im really into drawing and stuff and
have been doing portrait sketching for
about 10 years. I thought it sounded like a
lot of fun.
Other students have aspirations of a
future in the business. Dani Mangini, of
Bridgeton, has now taken the class three
times. She says its giving her a solid foun-
dation to build upon.
What we do in the class is what I plan
on doing after I get my college degree, so
its really good practice for me, she said.
The class is just really fun and has a great
energy about it.
Mangini, 18, first started the class with
no background in special effects, though
she has always been a painter and a draw-
er. She said Kollmers instruction has real-
ly helped her grow.
It took me a while to work up the
courage, but I finally did and I couldnt be
happier, she said. Ive seen my progress
grow. I really feel like I have a grasp on
sculpting and the whole process now. And
Tom definitely taught me how to paint a
lot better than I ever could.
In the fall, Mangini plans to follow in
Kollmers footsteps by also attending the
Douglas Education Center.
Kollmer himself envisions a day when
hell move west in pursuit of a full-time
career working in special effects makeup.
For now, hes content teaching his craft to
others, and working on other pet projects.
Hes done special effects for a few indie
films, including The Cemetery, which was
nominated for Best Special Effects at the
2013 Portage International Film Festival in
Chicago. He creates and sells zombie-
themed key chains, known as Tom-bies,
through his website, which have sold all
over the country. Kollmer is even in the
early stages of striking wholesale deals for
the creepy key ornaments. He also substi-
tute teaches and works with an after-
school program. On top of that, hes work-
ing on an apprenticeship as a tattoo artist.
Ive got a lot on my plate and I would
love for [this class] to become a full-time
thing, he said. Who knows? The college
has given me a lot of opportunity doing this.
Theres potential growth there. Maybe. I

County Receives Federal Grant
to Investigate 1781 Battle
The National Park Service has awarded
Cumberland County $49,500 to study
whats believed to be the only documented
military action in the county during the
American Revolution.
The grant, which is part of the American
Battlefield Protection Program, focuses on
the Battle of Dallas Landing, a deadly 1781
confrontation on the Maurice River
between continental troops and British loy-
alists. At least seven loyalists are said to
have died in the skirmish after they report-
edly tried to force their way onto a small
ship near what is nowknown as Port Norris.
More than two centuries later, many
questionsincluding the burial sites of the
dead and the specific location of the bat-
tleremain unanswered. And because of
rising sea levels and shoreline erosion
around the Maurice River, important evi-
dence could disappear in the not so distant
future.
Thats what prompted the Cumberland
County Cultural & Heritage Commission to
apply for the grant.
Its literally a race against time and
mother nature, said Matt Pisarski, the
Commissions principal planner. Our hope
is to get a more comprehensive under-
standing of the battle using tools like
ground penetrating radar and metal detec-
tors. Once water levels rise to cover the site
the archaeological resources will be lost.
Were fortunate to have this research
opportunity, said Freeholder Carl Kirstein,
liaison to the Cultural & Heritage
Commission. This battle might have been
small in the scope of the American
Revolution, but it exemplifies the role of
maritime activities to Cumberland County
and the deep divisions among our local res-
idents to American independence.
The study will take place on both banks
of the Maurice River in the Port Norris area.
Payroll Survey Offers Chance

The APA uses feedback from the
Getting Paid In America survey to better
understand and serve our ultimate cus-
tomersAmericas workers and the compa-
nies that pay them, says Dan Maddux,
Executive Director of APA.
Interested workers can access the sur-
vey at [Link].
Those who participate in the online survey
will have a chance to win a trip to Las
Vegas and a cash prize equivalent to the
average national biweekly paycheck. More
than 30,000 employees took the survey in
2012. Participants must be 18 or older to be
eligible for the survey contest.
The winner will be selected during
National Payroll WeekSeptember 2-6,
2013. National Payroll Week celebrates the
hard work by Americas wage earners and
