Rising To The Trop: Hopping Good Time at Fair

I
n the last two years, rapper JaQuan

Cooper has seen a myriad of success
come his way. Hes blown up on
social media websites, with over 29,000
fans, and over a million plays on MySpace,
and another 9,000 plus fans on Facebook.
Hes received national attention for his
talent, becoming the first South Jerseyan
ever to be featured in Hip Hop Weekly, a
magazine dedicated to the rap scene with
over 800,000 subscriptions. Finally, hes
inked an entertainment deal with Matt
Mattick Entertainment, of Philadelphia,
worth $150,000. The onslaught of success
has been a whirlwind for the diminutive
20-year-oldwho raps under the alias
Tropakana.
But just two years ago, there was doubt
about whether Cooper would find success
in any career he pursued. Three weeks
prior to his graduation from Vineland
High School, Cooper was arrested for
dealing cocaine. He had fallen in with the
wrong crowd, and now it seemed he was
destined to end up behind bars, or worse,
dead. The arrest became one of the defin-
ing moments in Coopers life, and was the
wake-up call he needed to realize it was
time to turn his life around.

Salvation Army to Hold
Christmas in July
The Salvation Army is in urgent need
of your support in July. For many years,
those at The Salvation Army have known
that need knows no season. This is cer-
tain with the economic turmoil our com-
munities are experiencing and the result-
ing increase in families seeking assistance.
The Salvation Army has been challenged
with providing more assistance with less
funding available to do so. As a result, it is
holding its second Christmas in July to
raise funds for the local service center in
order to be able to continue to provide
services to the community.
The fundraiser will be held throughout
the month of July and will consist of ket-
tles placed at the following locations:
ShopRite-Delsea Drive in Vineland
ShopRite-Millville
The Salvation Army-733 E. Chestnut
Ave., Vineland
Kettle Coin Counters and Hang a
Kettles will also be placed at various
businesses throughout the Vineland,
Millville, and Port Norris areas. The
Salvation Army would appreciate any type
of support that you are able to provide,
whether it is volunteering to man a kettle,
or displaying a Kettle Coin Counter or
Hang a Kettle.
FoodBank Gets Large Donation
Tyson Foods, Inc. recently donated a
truckload of much-needed protein to the
FoodBanks Southern Branch, for the 11th

in conjunction with the ACF Professional
Chefs Association of South Jersey, honor-
ing Professional Chefs Week. The truck
was unloaded with the help of several area
member chefs, Tyson and FoodBank staff.
Tyson donated 33,000 lbs of chicken and
meats which will serve 140,000 meals.
The Community FoodBank of New
Jersey/Southern Branch serves Atlantic,
Cape May, Cumberland and Southeastern
Burlington counties.
Chef David Goldstein of the SJ Chefs
Association helps unload the truckload of
Tyson chicken and other protein products.

Pink Ribbon Family Fit Day Raises $2700
The Pink Ribbon Family Fit Day, held on June 12, 2011, at the Millville Elks
Lodge, raised over $2,700 for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3 Day. The
event was organized by the 3 Day Team Chicks Committed to a Cure, com-
prised of members LeeAnn Brizak, Mia Caprio, Laura Latorre, Miriam Olivero,
and Deb Ware. The team will be participating in the 2011 Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer 3 Day, walking 60 miles over the course of three days to raise money and
bring awareness to breast cancer. The Pink Ribbon Family Fit Day offered fun
and fitness for the whole family.
The day included a 45-minute and a 90-minute Zumba class, a 30-minute hip
hop class, and a turbo kick class, all instructed by volunteers. The event also
featured a number of sponsors, which all donated a portion of their proceeds to
the team in an effort to help the team reach their goal of $11,500.

She went into tailors shop and dressed

Then she went aboard the vessel to
convey herself away
Before you step on board, sir, your
name Id like to know.
She smiled all in her countenance, said,
They call me Jack a Roe.
T
he balladry from the British Isles
offers a variety of tales ranging
from the historical to the super-
natural where men and women
serve equally as protagonists, depending on
the song. In some ballads like Jack a Roe,
quoted above, women donned the attire of a
male to either fight alongside or to assist
their loved ones on the battlefield. Since
history is filled with such gender deceptions
that usually resulted from true love, these
songs that have entertained folk music audi-
ences for centuries were not plucked from
pure imagination. Nor were they confined
to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean as
recent discoveries have revealed.
During our own Civil War, 150 years
ago, women were most associated with
the role of the nurse tending to the
wounded and dying during the four years
of this internecine struggle. There are
some who reportedly served as spies and
others who provided food and supplies to
the soldiers. But there were also a number
of women disguised as men who took to
the battlefield as soldiers.
In many cases, were left to speculate
the reasons for these women enlisting in
the military when they were not permitted
to serve. Many would question how they
were able to join, considering the necessity
of a physical exam, but the Smithsonian
Associates website informs us that Sarah
Edmonds, who enlisted under the name
Franklin Thompson, reported that her
physical consisted of a firm handshake.
Its likely that a handshake proved suffi-
cient in other instances as well.
Edmonds was taken ill with malaria
and realized that she would be discovered
if she allowed herself to be treated by the
Army. She was able to leave military serv-
ice and recover. She married and had
three children she was able to raise on a
government pension.
Not all women soldiers avoided detec-
tion. The Smithsonian Associates identi-
fies Sarah Blaylock as serving only a
month before her gender was discovered.
Mary Scaberry spent a little over a year
in the army before a hospital visit led to

Historical Society Unveils
Commemorative Wine Jug
The Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society is
offering local residents the opportunity to purchase
Vintage Vineland, a limited-edition miniature wine
jug created to commemorate Vinelands 150th
anniversary. Only 150 of the jugs will be produced by
Terry Plasket, a talented veteran potter who works at
Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center in Millville.
We felt that the wine jug was an appropriate souvenir for this occasion,
said Patricia A. Martinelli, administrator/curator for the Society. Each one
comes with a certificate of ownership to document every purchase.
Each jug stands approximately eight inches tall, is glazed in a dark brown
color, and is decorated with grapes, vines and fruit. Every piece is numbered
and signed by the artist.
The jugs sell for $36 apiece. Martinelli said that the Society plans to keep
the first jug as part of the permanent museum collection and offer the final
jug, number 150, to the city in honor of its anniversary.
To purchase a miniature wine jug, call 856-691-1111 or e-mail
vinelandhistory@gmail.com.

her dismissal due to fever and sexual
incompatibility.
There are certain cases, however, where
the reason for enlistment is clear. For
Rosetta Wakeman, it was monetary. Part of
a large family on a farm in New York state,
she worked under terrible conditions
before leaving home and moving from job
to job to survive. The lure of $13 a month as
a soldier transformed her into a man.
Because her letters to her family have sur-
vived, we know that she found the military
oppressive at first, but she was able to send
money home and save a good amount for
herself. Over time, she discovered that she
enjoyed an independence she never could
have had as a woman in the 1860s.
What is surprising is that even when
hospitalized with dysentery, her true gen-
der was never revealed. She died in New
Orleans at an army hospital, and was
buried as a soldier.
Another female soldier whose reasons
for enlisting are quite clear was a New
Jersey resident from Raritan. Elizabeth
and Martin Niles were on their honey-
moon when the Civil War began in April
1861. According to Larry G. Egglestons
Women in the Civil War, Martin planned
on enlisting and Elizabeth wanted to be
with him. With her hair shorn and wear-
ing mens clothing, Elizabeth accompa-
nied her husband, joining the Fourth New
Jersey Infantry in August 1861. Together
they fought in some of the key battles of
the Civil War, including the Second Battle
of Manassas/Bull Run, the Battle of the
Wilderness (which has been re-enacted
here on Founders Day) and the Battle of
Gettysburg. They survived the war and
were discharged with Elizabeths true
identity not discovered at the time. Like
all the women who enlisted, its an
achievement worthy of a ballad.
Your waist is light and slender, your
fingers neat and small,
Your cheeks too red and rosy for to face
the cannonball
I know my waist is slender and my
fingers they are small,
But they would not make me tremble
for to see ten thousand fall. I

Landscapes of Vineland History Makers Exhibit. Register your vintage
family photo and story of unique and historic value, to be shown at the
Vineland Birthday Celebration Exhibit, running August 1 - 31 at the Vineland
Public Library. Residents may submit a photo to be juried for inclusion in
the special sesquicentennial exhibit at the library, featuring a commemora-
tive quilt currently in production by the Garden Patch Quilters, depicting
scenes from Vinelands past on sixteen squares. Students of Magnolia Hill
Studios, under the artistic direction of Sandy Smith, are working from pho-
tographs of old Vineland and Vineland notables, producing original artwork
based on the vintage photos. Contemporary shots of Vineland are captured
by area art photographers. Local artists are also free to enter their artistic
representation of Vineland history on canvas.
But, talent with camera and paint is not all one needs to place an item
on exhibit during the August show. If you have a family photo with unique
features that tells an interesting story about Vineland or Vineland residents,
you are urged to pick up a registration form at the Vineland Public Library.
If selected, photo must be a minimum of 8 x 10, matted, framed, and
wire hung. The photo must be captioned with the story behind the photo
relating to an aspect of Vineland history. Original or enlarged/ enhanced
copies of original accepted. Registration deadline is July 15.

hop local. This seems to be a
buzz-phrase that is heard quite a
bit these days. Certainly, we all
know the definition of shopping
localbuying the goods and services we
need or want from businesses in our
townbut how many of us truly under-
stand what shopping local actually means
in terms of helping Vinelands economy?
Frankly, it was a hard concept for me to
wrap my head around, but I found some
numbers that made it easy to understand.
The first number is 10, as in $10 a
month. Believe it or not, if everyone in
the nation spent just $10 each month
with a locally owned, independent busi-
ness instead of a chain, the positive
impact it would have on local economies
would be staggering, which leads us to
our second number: 9.3 billion.
According to a Civic Economics
Andersonville Study of Retail Economics,
$9.3 billion would be directly returned to
local economies if consumers nationwide
spent only $10 a month in local, inde-
pendent businesses.
But lets break that down even further
and make it more applicable to our Tri-
City area. This same $10 a month, if peo-
ple in Cumberland County spent it at
local businesses, would result in our third
number: $4,210,315 going back into the
Cumberland County economy.
In these challenging economic times,
an estimated $4.2 million going back into
our county economy is an incredible
boost. As stated by
IndependentWeStand.organ online
organization dedicated to educating the
public about the importance of shopping
locallylocal money going back to local
economies means better schools, better
roads, more support for police, fire and
rescue departments and stronger local
economies.
Im not saying that chain stores are
evil and that they should be avoided at all
cost. On the contrary, chain stores have
their place in our economy and they often
serve a valuable role in helping people get
the goods or services they might not be
able to find locally. But I am saying that,
given its impact on our communities,
shopping locally should be our first
option. In downtown Vineland, we have
many locally owned and operated busi-
nesses that would welcome the opportu-
nity to have you spend $10 a month with
them. I encourage you to come back to
the Avenue and help keep your money in
the local economy.

720 Vineland High School Seniors Graduate
One of the largest classes in many years720received diplomas at
Vineland High School's 133rd commencement last Tuesday at Gittone Stadium.
With clear skies and temperatures in the 80s, family and friends started lining
up outside the stadium at 4 p.m. By the time the familiar strains of Pomp and
Circumstance echoed throughout the stadium, the crowd had taken every avail-
able seat. Their cheers and screams filled the air as the graduates filed out and

Century Savings Bank
Ranked Among Safest Banks
Seifried & Brew LLC, a community bank
risk management firm, has named Century
Savings Bank(CSB) to its honor roll of U.S.
Safest Banks. Century Savings Bank, based
upon a thorough review of the bank's
financial condition and past performance,
is rated in the top one-third of the 2010
S&B Total Risk Ranking for all banks in
the United States and has the lowest S&B
Risk Index score of all banks currently
operating in New Jersey.
After the banking crisis, there has been
too much focus on failed and sick banks,"
said Dr. Edward Seifried, Seifried & Brew
LLC co-chairman. We need to recognize
and honor those community banks whose
policies and practices reflect the highest
levels of safety and soundness.
The complete Seifried & Brew Total
Risk Index, which ranks the safety and
soundness of all banks in the U.S., can be
viewed at www.seifriedbrew.com.

munity banking since 1865 as a mutual sav-
ings bank with locations in Cumberland,
Gloucester and Salem counties. For more

Energy Efficiency Rewards
Customers
Although it may seem strange, summer
is the best time to replace an aging heating
system. And with available cashback of up
to $1,300, the time has never been better.
Replacing heating equipment in the
summer is the best way to ensure new
equipment is functioning properly well in
advance of the winter season, said Bruce
Grossman, program manager of residential
energy efficiency for South Jersey Gas.
To receive the full rebate in conjunction
with natural gas heating equipment
replacement, homeowners must start by
participating in a Home Performance with
Energy Star assessment. A certified con-
tractor will complete the assessment and
provide a report on areas in the home
where energy is being wasted and suggest
ways to make the home more efficient and
save money. After that takes place, and a
homeowner upgrades his/her natural gas
heater to a high efficiency model, he/she
will receive up to $400 from NJ Clean
Energy and $900 from South Jersey Gas.
For more information on the state
rebate program and other available
rebates, visit www.njcleanenergy.com. For
information about this and other SJG
rebates, call 1-800-648-0138 or visit
www.southjerseygas.com.

spring of 2012, the AVCA enlisted the
assistance of U.S. Silica to research optimal
sand characteristics and develop guide-
lines for volleyball sand court construc-
tion. An emerging sport, participation in
sand or beach volleyball has grown by over
25 percent in the last two years and more
than 300,000 girls under the age of 18 are
participating in the sport (according to the
2009 Sporting Goods Manufacturing
Associations research).
After many user interviews, site and
sand evaluations, the guidelines were cre-
ated to ensure the construction of exem-
plary sand volleyball courts throughout
the country with consistent and similar
characteristics. In accordance with the
NCAA rules, there are several factors
schools and universities must consider
when selecting the right sand for a court.
Sand should be clean, round to subangular
in shape, and intermediate in size. For out-
door courts, the sand should drain ade-
quately in event of inclement weather, a
general parameter being within 30 min-
utes. Whiter sand is suggested for outdoor
play as it reduces relative heat gain.
Following the guidelines, U.S. Silica has
introduced Beach White Volleyball
Sands for sand volleyball court construc-
tion. These sands are white, round to sub-
angular, and of intermediate gradation,
that have been washed and screened. They
provide a playing surface that has less
heat-gain potential than that of darker
sands. Beach White Volleyball Sands pro-
vide sand firmness designed to offer both
good jump height and landing cushion. It
is recommended that the sand be slightly
damp for play; however, in the event of
rain, Beach White Volleyball Sands are
designed to provide sufficient drainage.
U.S. Silicas Beach White Volleyball Sands
are available at 10 locations throughout the
United States, including Mauricetown.
Since 1893, U.S. Silica has developed
more than 200 unique products and creat-
ed a network of production plants and
packaging facilities across the country.
For more about U.S. Silicas Beach
White Volleyball Sand, call 800-257-7034,
ext. 119 or visit www.avca.org/sand/ for
details on NCAA sand volleyball.

Pit Master:
Tom Freiling
T
he house is different now, and its
changed in both dramatic and sub-
tle ways. Most of the pictures have
come off the walls and the living room has
been almost totally baby-proofed. One of
the first tasks I tackled was to clean the
pantry out. That was one of the parts of
the house that needed to be organized
most; there was so much clutter and
unused cans of random foods that had no
future in any upcoming meals. Pitted
black olives and bulging tins of pineapple
had no place in there.
Its been a crazy last month, between
the baby, bakery and the relatively quick
illness and passing of Jills grandmother
with whom wed lived for the last five
years and whom Ive written about many
times in the pages of this newspaper.
Something had to give, and so it was this
article that had to be put on hold for a few
weeks. But now were settling into a new
normal, a paradigm shift of great signifi-
cance in our lives. And thats why I started
with the pantry; the kitchen is the room of
the house in which I spend the most time.
It was strange going through her stuff,
even though it was just her snacks and
empty Cool Whip containers. Strange
because I knew that she wouldnt be rum-
maging through there anymore, filling
those containers that I hate (but cant
quite bear to get rid of yet) of stuffed cab-
bage and pierogies.
Im very grateful for the time that Jill
and I had with her though, and especially
for all the time we spent with her in the
kitchen. I am so very happy that Jill and I
not only learned how to make her version
of pasta salad, squash fritters, meatballs,
stuffed cabbage, pierogies, and more, but
we documented most of them photo-
graphically and in written form. Im glad
that we had the foresight to do that.
I wish, however, that we would have
learned and done more. There were so
many stories and recipes and experiences
that we heard from her that we didnt
document and are now gone forever. Oh
well, we did what we could and we cant
be too hard on ourselves at this point.
While cleaning out/rummaging
through the freezer, I found one of her
containers of meatballs and sauce (or
gravy, if you prefer). What a lovely dinner
that would make, I thought. So I took it
upstairs, threw a pot of water on the stove
for pasta and put the frozen meatballs into
a small saucepan with low heat and a lid.
The water soon boiled, and the spaghetti
went in along with a heaping spoonful of
salt. As the meatballs cooked, filling the
kitchen with the aroma of tomato and
pork, I sat at the kitchen table wondering
if this would be the last time wed have
grandmoms meatballs. There may be
another container in the freezer that I
dont know about, but there may not.
When everything was done cook-
ing/heating, Jill and Berkeley and I sat at
the table to eat. Jill and I talked a lot
about what had gone down the last month
and what our future now holds in a house
without her grandmother. It was surreal,
as most of the last several days had been.
I made sure to feed Berkeley some of
the meatballs. Hes been eating real food
for about two months now, but no meat up
until this point, so I picked off little pieces
of a meatball, smushed it with my fingers
until it was a consistency that he could
safely eat, and placed them into his
mouth. He excitedly ate them up, as he
has most everything hes tried, although
he did make an amazingly cute and funny
face after tasting the first one. I want to
be able to tell him in the future that even
though he doesnt remember it, he actual-
ly had some meatballs created by
Grandmoms own two hands. Maybe hell
appreciate the continuity and symbolism
of that, perhaps not, but both Jill and I
will know and thats what matters I guess.
I thought a lot about her jelly squares
the week she passed away too, and Im not
exactly sure why. When I first moved
here, she always had some on hand, little
crumbly squares of dough topped with
her homemade jelly. I remember the last
time that she made them a while back,
something wasnt quite right and she was
frustrated and disappointed in herself.
She should not have been, because that
happens to even the best cooks, but that
was the last batch she made and that kind
of makes me sad I need to make a batch
soon, for old times sake (and because
theyre very scrummy).
Fortunately she did teach us how to
make those meatballs and her legendary
jelly squares, so although they wont be
hers when we make them in the future,
they kind of will be. She may not live on
in books she wrote or movies she made or
songs she sung, but she will live on in the
lives she touched, the recipes and tech-
niques that she passed on, and the love
she gave to everyone around her while she
was here.
Youll be missed, Grandmom, but if
nothing else, you will live on through the
meals, snacks and culinary delights that our
family will eat for the rest of our lives. I

reetings! Todays recipes are per-
fect to serve for the 4th of July.
Start the day off with the pan-
cakes. Their red, white, and
blue is created by using fresh local berries.
The second recipe has been in my family for
years, and its one that my family requests at
every cookout. The only problemis there
never seems to be enough, even if Mom
doubles the recipe. If youre watching your
sugar intake, use a natural sugar substitute
(Stevia or Xylitol) in place of the sugar.
Enjoy, and have a safe and happy holiday.
Patriotic Fresh Berry Pancakes
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tbs. flaxseed meal, optional
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 tbs. raw sugar or pure maple syrup
3 tsp. non-aluminum baking powder
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups rice or soy milk
1/4 cup safflower or sunflower oil
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet
over medium heat. In a large bowl, whisk
together flours, flaxseed meal, salt, sugar
and baking powder. Make a small well in
the center of the dry ingredients and add
the eggs, milk, and oil. Gently whisk wet
and dry ingredients together, just until
combined; batter will be slightly lumpy
but do not over mix. Stir in the blueber-
ries and strawberries; if batter seems too
dry, add a little more milk; if too wet, add
a little more flour. Lightly grease the grid-
dle with butter or non-stick cooking spray,
then ladle about 1/4 cup batter onto hot
griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the
surface and then flip. Cook second side
just until lightly golden brown and batter
is cooked through. Transfer pancakes onto
serving plates and top with butter and
maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Great-Grandmom Bradys German
Cucumber Salad
8 large cucumbers, peeled & thinly sliced
1 tbs. sea salt
Water to cover over cucumbers
In a large bowl, add the cucumbers and
water. Add in the sea salt and give mixture a
good stir. Cover and refrigerate cucumbers
overnight. Next day, drain and rinse cucum-
bers well in a colander. Pat dry and set aside
while you make the dressing.
Dressing
6 - 7 tbs. apple cider vinegar
3 - 4 tbs. raw sugar
Black pepper, to taste
1 small onion, thinly sliced
In small bowl, mix together vinegar,
sugar and black pepper, pour dressing over
cucumbers in serving bowl. Add onion
slices and toss. Refrigerate for 1 hour and
toss mixture once more before serving. I

Strength & Durability
A
fter not making any significant
deposits to its troubled public employ-
ees pension funds for many years,
NewJersey has nowmade a huge withdrawal.
I follow the news pretty closely, but I was
blind-sided by the political deal in New
Jersey to freeze cost-of-living pension
increases for all current retirees. It was a
deal that steals significant retirement income
from 400,000 gullible former police officers,
firefighters, prison guards, social services
workers, and teachers (like me), who, after
20, 30, 40 years thought they had an agree-
ment on what they would live on for the
remainder of their lives.
Even though the pension and health care
reform act was scheduled to be signed by
Republican Governor Chris Christie on
Tuesday, there still has been little media
coverage of a provision that cuts $79 billion
of income from current (and future) state
and local government retiree pensions, out
of the laws 30-year total projected saving of
$132 billion.
(Annual cost-of-living adjustments raise
pension payments to help retirees keep up
with the inflation rate, where everything
costs more over time. If there is little infla-
tion, adjustments are small; as inflation rises,
rates are modified. Its the same system used
by Social Security.)
The crisis in pensions was brought about
because New Jersey and its municipalities
failed to meet their obligations. Since 2004,
the state has not made $15.11 billion in
required payments to the pension funds,
while the municipalities have skipped $1.9
billion. Public employees, meanwhile, have
fully paid their contributions.
Say what you want about unions and pub-
lic employees, Ill say what I want about an
understanding being an understanding,
about your word being your word. I retired
after calculating what my income, and that
of my wife if I die first, was going to be. I had
a contract. Or I thought I did.
What the governor and legislators did
was onerous; the way they did it was despi-
cable. And the law would not have passed if
southern New Jersey Democrats hadnt gone
along with the deal. Almost all other
Democrats in both houses were opposed.
After months of private wheeling and deal-
ing, with little media scrutiny, the bill was
introduced in the legislature on June 13. Quick
hearings and votes followed after little debate,
considering the magnitude of the proposal.
Press coverage only began in earnest after the
deal was struck and outcome was predeter-
mined. Friday, the day after the Assembly vote
guaranteed the laws passage, the Newark Star
Ledger had two sentences about the cost-of-
living issue in its summary of the newlaw. The
Daily Journal ran on page nine a small account
that didnt even mention the topic.
The better-known sections of the lawto
have public employees pay more for pension
and health care, to raise the retirement age, and
to eliminate collective bargainingwere the
focus of debate and media scrutiny. (And are, in
some ways, necessary and reasonable steps).
The freeze of cost-of-living adjustments for cur-
rent retirees slipped under the radar, no doubt
as planned by political bosses like Camden
Countys George M. Norcross, who holds sway
over many of our regions lawmakers.
The Republicans and rogue Democrats
supporting the law even had a red herring
preparedthe proposal to deny out-of-state
medical care to public employees. Eventually
killed, that provision distracted observers
and participants from the shameful cost-of-
living aspect of the law.
The sole Democrat from the region who
deserves credit for voting against the law was
Assemblyman Nelson Albano of Vineland.
Our districts Senator, Jeff Van Drew, and
other Assemblyman, Matt Milam, voted for it.
Albano on Friday rightly characterized
what transpired. These bills were intro-
duced 10 days ago. Whats happened here is
historic, you cant do historic action in 10
days, he told The Press.
Pension reform should start and end with
future retirees; they are in a position to plan
and prepare for reductions in their pension
benefits and decide if they want to stay in
public employment. Current retirees are
without these options.
Its hard to gauge what the future rate of
inflation is going to be and harder still to
predict how long my wife and I will live, but
I estimate we lost about $30,000 in this
unscrupulous rush.
Thats not shared sacrifice. Thats high-
way robbery. I

Being arrested was a real reality
check, said Cooper. It made me think
about where my life was headed and
where I want my life to go. Seeing the dis-
appointment in my familys faces, I knew
this was a long, dark road, and not the
road I wanted to be going down.
The disappointment Coopers parents
were feeling likely came from a sense of
unwelcome familiarity. Coopers parents
had made the same mistake they were now
watching their son make. Both of them had
spent time incarcerated on drug-related
arrestshis mother was in prison for part
of the time she was pregnant with JaQuan,
and his father, James, spent most of
JaQuans childhood locked up.
Seeing JaQuan start
to go down the same
road he once did,
James knew he had to
step in and help his son
to stop immediately.
He knew his son just
needed something to
cling to, and help him
refocus. James decided
that he needed to get
behind his son.
Ive changed my
life around because of
the help of people like
my father, said
Cooper. My dad said,
Were going to work
with you. You put the
drugs down, and Im
going to help you with your career. It
doesnt have to be music, son. I just want
you to be on the right path.
After speaking with his father, Cooper
knew he needed to set his sights on a
goal, and begin working toward it. So he
turned to rap, an on-again, off-again
hobby throughout his life. As part of the
deal with his father, Cooper decided to
revamp his style, which, prior to his
arrest, had dealt with topics relating to
drugs and violence. He would cut out the
profanity and the vulgarity, and begin
dealing with real issues, hoping to spread
an affirmative message.
Within a few months, Cooper had his
rap career going in the right direction, and
he began doing school tours with Whyte
Boiz, an offshoot of his fathers FEDUP
4U programa youth outreach group
designed to prevent kids from becoming
involved with drugs and gangs.
Cooper told his story during school
assemblies, and then rapped for the kids.
The overwhelming receptions he
received were what convinced Cooper
that a career in music was a real possibil-
ity. He had the kids attention, and he
knew he could influence them through
the power of music.
When I first started out, music was
just a bridge, something to focus on,
Cooper said. I clinged to it, and tried to
get as good as I could be. But seeing the
reactions of the kids, that made me say, I
can do this as a career. I know people say
its a one-in-a-million chance, but theyre
not seeing the same things Im seeing.
This is a vehicle to do good.
Soon, he would take his act outside of
schools, going on to perform up and down
the East Coast, with hip hop heavyweights
such as Nelly, T-Pain, Three 6 Mafia,
Freeway and Cassidy.
In less than two years, he had trans-
formed himself from a drug-dealer, on the
path to becoming another statistic, to a
rising hip hop star, eager to be the positive
role model so many young kids need.
The metamorphosis Cooper has under-
gone is remarkable, and even earned him
the recognition of local politicians recently.
On May 21st, he received a Joint
Legislature Resolution, a Joint Legislature
Commendation, and a Certificate of
Recognition from Vineland Mayor Robert
Romano, State Senator Jeff Van Drew, and
Assemblyman Nelson Albano for being a
positive figure in the community.
It felt surreal, said Cooper. Just two
years ago, my whole life was in shambles.
I couldnt believe all of this happening to
me now. It was special to have (them)
honor me.
For Cooper, the last two years have
become an inspiring story of redemption
and success, but the final chapter has yet
to be written. He plans to continue on his
present course.
I plan on being able to look back and
know I made a difference and affected
people, said Cooper. I came from noth-
ing, people saying, Youre going to be just
like your dad, and get locked away, and I
turned that into something positive. I
turned that into a career that helped
change peoples lives. I

Assemblyman Nelson Albano (left) and Mayor Robert Romano
(right) for being a positive influence on youth in the community.
