Last week we asked in downtown Vineland, What Does Thanksgiving
Mean to You. Here are some of the answers:
Thats a good question. Its a time to be thankful for whatever youve
been provided with and a chance to reflect on what the year meant. I
definitely have something to be thankful for this year.
David Daigle (and three-month old daughter, Laila), Millville

x
of the Urban Enterprise Zone
November 2011
The Locker Room
Bringing a Flair to Urban-Style Sportswear
Holiday Parade
Sat., Nov. 26 5 pm
Rain Date: Sun., Nov. 27
opened The Locker Room, at 106 W.
Landis Ave., six months ago to bring
to Vineland the nest in urban-style
sportswear.
With stores already in Penns Grove and
Sewell, I saw the revitalization efforts going on
in downtown Vineland and wanted to get in on
the ground oor with a third store. Having come
originally from Philadelphia, I immediately saw
how Landis Avenue reminded me of South Street
and felt that this business could t right in.
We carry a wide variety of sports attire, such
as clothing, sneakers, watches, earphones, and
Paid for by the New Jersey Urban
Enterprise Zone Authority.
I take pride
in being a
volunteer for
Main Street
Vineland and
making our downtown
a family-oriented place
to visit, shop, and dine.

for 12 years before her retire-
ment. She is now active as a
board member for the South

She also volunteers many hours
to Main Street Vinelands

Teachable
Moments
Plus, dont forget about Small Business Saturday
Like most parents, my wife Amy and I hope our children feel comfortable enough to talk to
us openly about anything. However, with a 12 and 15 year old, whenever weve brought up the
birds and bees discussion, our kids roll their eyes and try to change the subject. But as the
adults, we press on knowing how important it is that they get age-appropriate important
information from us, rather than letting their knowledge on the topic be limited to schoolyard
gossip. Every once in a while similarly crucial topics are thrust upon us thanks to news stories
that grab headlines and create a barrage of idle chatter among all of us, regardless of age.
For the past couple of weeks, the Penn State child abuse scandal and news items about
bullying in schools have provided our family with two related teachable moments.
When the news about former Penn State assistant coach Jerrys Sanduskys alleged child sex
abuse case broke, the topic came up at our dinner table. We discussed why longtime head
coach Joe Paterno was fired and spoke to our children frankly about what it was that Sandusky
was accused of doing. Hopefully our talk helped our kids to navigate around a lot of the misin-
formation circulating about the case. But more importantly, the conversation gave us an oppor-
tunity to reinforce with our children what kind of contact with adults is and isnt allowed and
what they should do if an adult did something that made them feel uncomfortable.
The Penn State story will be a hot topic for a long, long time as the media has made it a
point to follow up on all the minutia in excruciating detail. One of the latest tidbits to be
unveiled this week was the fact that the first boy to have the courage to come forward and
accuse Sandusky of sexual assault has subsequently been so viciously harassed and bullied
that he has had to leave high school. Joe Paterno may not have reported his knowledge of
Sanduskys actions to the authorities quickly enough, but he didnt waste time in coming to
the defense of the alleged victim this week. Through his attorney, who made a recent
appearance on Good Morning America, Paterno denounced the bullying.
Coach Paterno strongly condemns harassment or bullying of any kind, and he asks any-
one who truly cares about Penn State to conduct themselves honorably and with respect for
others," attorney J. Sedgwick Sollers told ABC News.
It is fear of such harassment that keeps many victims of abuse from coming forward in the
first place, so at least with regard to condemning the bullying, Paterno has done the right thing.
On a related note, The Grapevine has published a couple of news items related to bullying
prevention measures being put into motion in our area. The first was the preview of a film
that was shown at Cumberland County College this past Saturday. Out in the Silence, is a
selection from the On Screen/In Person film series, and was shown in the Guaracini
Performing Arts Center. The second item is presented on page 17, where the appearance of
area sports figure Vai Sikahema is chronicled. Sikahema, a sportscaster and former Eagles
football player, spoke to students at Veterans Memorial School in Vineland recently about
the perils of bullying. Sikahema, who will deliver a similar message at Wallace Middle
School on January 4, 2012, promoted both prevention and intervention of bullying while
empowering students to recognize, refuse and report bullying.
Not that my wife and I are in the running for Parents of the Year or anything, but we
took advantage of another teachable moment regarding bullying when Anderson Cooper
dedicated an episode of his new-ish daytime talk show Anderson to the topic. Cooper spoke
with the parents of a 14-year-old who took his own life last month after constant bullying at
school became too much for him to handle.
We admitted to being on both the giving and receiving end of bullying when we were school-
aged kids and told our children to talk to us if they feel theyre being bullied. We also encour-
aged them to champion and defend other kids who might be getting bullied in their presence.
In the Penn State case and the news about bullying, some good came from terrible
tragedies. Many families like ours took advantage of opportunities to leverage our childrens
curiosity about current events in an effort to make them more aware about dangers that sur-
round them every day. Hopefully, these dinner-table-talks will help keep kids everywhere
from becoming victims of sexual predators and bullies.

Landis Theater Announces
Management Change
The Landis Theater Foundation Board
announced late last week that Joseph C.
Marcello will no longer serve as Executive
Artistic Director of the Landis Theater
Performing Arts Center.
According to Board President Michael
L. Testa, The Landis Theater Foundation
Board has made a promise to the Mayor,
City Council, and the taxpayers of
Vineland that the Theater will be run in a
fiscally responsible manner. After some
hard deliberation, it became clear that a
change in direction was needed.
As this change is made, day-to-day
operations at the Theater will continue
uninterrupted, Testa said. In addition to
the return of The Lettermen for a wonder-
ful Holiday Show on December 11, we
have a fantastic lineup of shows planned
in 2012.
We are also exploring a number of sce-
narios including potential strategic
alliances with partners in the area who
share our vision such as Appel Farm.
However, nothing has been decided and all
options are on the table, Testa continued.
Appel Farm representatives released
the following statement regarding a poten-
tial collaboration with the Landis Theater.
Appel Farm has a long and successful his-
tory of producing music events in the
southern New Jersey region. The Board of
Trustees of the Landis Theater has the
charge of ensuring that the Landis Theater
is a thriving organization in Vineland and
that it continues as a cornerstone of the
downtown rehabilitation efforts. It is
incumbent on them to explore all path-
ways to making this venture a success.
One Week Left to Register with
FEMA for Disaster Assistance
New Jersey residents whose homes
and properties sustained damage in
Hurricane Irene have only a week left to
register for assistance through the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The deadline is November 30.
Even if an insurance settlement has not
been determined, individuals must regis-
ter before the November 30 deadline or
face losing the opportunity to be consid-
ered for federal assistance. Though FEMA
will not duplicate insurance benefits,
expenses not covered by insurance may be
eligible for federal grants after the claim
has been paid.
The deadline to submit loan applica-
tions to the U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA) is also November 30.
Completing and returning the SBA appli-
cation is an essential step in the process. If
you are a homeowner or renter and SBA
determines you cannot afford a loan, you
may be referred for other possible assis-
tance. Additional information is available
at www.sba.gov or 800-659-2955.
To register or to contact FEMA: Go to
www.disasterassistance.gov, m.fema.gov
or call FEMA toll-free, 800-621-3362
(FEMA). Those with access or functional
needs and who use a TTY may call 800-
462-7585 or use 711 or Video Relay Service
to call 800-621-3362. Telephone lines are
open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET; multilin-
gual operators are available.
Applicants are reminded to keep their
FEMA information updated, but not to reg-
ister more than once. Duplicate registra-
tions will delay processing an application.
Food Donation & Winter
Coat Drive
SANSKAARkeeping kids connect-
edan initiative of Friends of India
Society, has organized a Food Donation &

Pennies From Heaven Benefits
Afterschool Programs
From November 30 through December
12, shoppers at the jcpenney Cumberland
Mall are invited to turn small change into
pennies from heaven by rounding up
their holiday purchases and donating the
difference to The Boys & Girls Club of
Vineland. The Club is one of 1,100 after-
school organizations across the country
matched with a local jcpenney store that
will benefit from the entire proceeds
raised during the campaign.
As customers shop jcpenney this holi-
day season, we hope they will keep this
mission in mind so that the social and aca-
demic learning opportunities we provide
after school will continue to be available to
Greater Vineland area students, said
Chris Volker, Club director.
National research shows that one out of
four students in the U.S. is on their own
between the hours of 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
each day. The afterschool program offered
at The Boys & Girls Club serves 300+ stu-
dents each year by involving them in pro-
grams that help kids develop social skills,
provide opportunities to be physically
active and achieve academic success in
school.
For more than a decade, jcpenney has
been deeply committed to helping kids
spread their wings by making it possible
for more students to participate in life-
enriching afterschool programs, said Aris
Martinez, store manager for jcpenney.
When we leverage the power of a penny
to create opportunities for learning, we
can make a positive difference in the lives
of our future leaders.
For more information related to the
pennies from heaven initiative, visit jcpen-
neyafterschool.org.

of all ages to become more reflective and
responsible thinkers.
Before beginning the discussion of the
first short story, Litvin explained the
ground roles for Shared Inquiry discussion.
The facilitator provides direction and guid-
ance by asking questions for which they
genuinely do not know the answer. Only
those who have read the selection partici-
pate in the discussion. Discussion is limited
to the selection that everyone has read.
Support for opinions should be found with-
Continued from page 9
in the selection. Leaders may only ask
questions and may not answer them.
Questions asked may be interpretative,
evaluative, or factual in nature.
The two short stories discussed during
the first sessionAllen Woodmans The
Lampshade Vendor and Kate Chopins
The Story of An Hourprovoked stimu-
lating discussion as the group searched for
meaning behind every sentence.
These short stories are examples of
flash fiction and are written in a very com-
pact way, so that a lot is expressed in few
words, said Litvin. That means that we
have to read carefully and analyze.
The group reads each story silently
twiceonce quickly and then a second time
to allow the story to become clearer. Each
participant then writes down questions
which are then discussed by the group.
This is not your standard book discus-
sion, Litvin said. The method of discus-
sion used here expands your memory. Its a
whole new way of thinking.
Because the discussion group requires a
limited number of participants, no addi-
tional members are being taken on, but
those interested can register when a new
series of discussions takes place.

Friends Village At Woodstown
Receives High Marks
The Resident Satisfaction Survey com-
pleted recently by the Holleran firm, an
independent consulting company based in
Lancaster, PA, shows that residents of
Friends Village at Woodstown are very sat-
isfied with the community.
Ninety-six percent of the independent
residents who participated in the survey
responded positively when asked if they
would recommend Friends Village to a
friend or relative. More than half of those
respondents ranked their overall satisfac-
tion as excellent.
There were 90 independent living resi-
dents on the Friends Village campus at the
time the survey was conducted. Seventy
four of these individuals completed the
survey, yielding a response rate of 82 per-
cent. The Holleran average is 79 percent.
As a five-year-old continuing care
retirement community, we felt it was
important to survey our residents on all
areas of our campus, Friends Village
Executive Director Tom Lyons said. This
information will help us improve our serv-
ices and plan for the future.
Upon comparing Friends Village results
with other communities, Holleran deter-
mined that the organization scored above
national benchmarked standards in 10
areas. Some of these areas include the fol-
lowing:
Residents value opportunities to pro-
vide input to the leadership team;
Residents have faith in the evaluation
and placement of residents in the proper

LoBiondo Honored by National
Breast Cancer Coalition
In a recent presentation on Capitol Hill,
the National Breast Cancer Coalition
(NBCC) honored U.S. Representative Frank
A. LoBiondo (NJ-02) for his advocacy and
leadership to continue breast cancer
research funding. NBCC signaled out
LoBiondos bipartisan efforts in support of
the Peer-Reviewed Breast Cancer Research
Program at the Defense Department
despite increasing budget restraints.
The National Breast Cancer Coalition
is proud to honor Congressman LoBiondo
with our 2011 Congressional Award, said
Fran Visco, President of the National Breast
Cancer Coalition. We greatly appreciate
all he has done and continues to do to make
the Breast Cancer Deadline 2020 goal of
ending breast cancer by January 1, 2020 a
reality.
I am deeply honored to receive this
award from the National Breast Cancer
Coalition and to have worked closely with
them for so many years on an issue that
impacts nearly everyone. We all know a
family member, friend or coworker whose
life has been affected by breast cancer. The
physical and emotional strain on individu-
als with breast cancer is significant and,
accordingly, must be treated as such, said
LoBiondo. I will continue to be a strong
advocate for increased research dollars and
for common-sense healthcare practices for
patients afflicted with breast cancer.
Earlier this year LoBiondo joined with
more than 120 of his colleagues to again
introduce the Breast Cancer Patient
Protection Act, which would require
health plans to provide coverage for a mini-
mum hospital stay for women who undergo
mastectomies and lymph node dissection
during their treatment of breast cancer.
Endorsed by the American Cancer Society,
the legislation also mandates insurance
companies to cover secondary consulta-
tions sought by women.
In the 110th Congress, the House over-
whelmingly passed the legislation by a vote
of 421 to 2. Unfortunately the Senate failed

Gleanings { DEBORAH A. EIN, MANAGING EDITOR }
Black Gold
D
riving just about anywhere
these days, youll see piles
and piles of leaves ready for
pickup or blowing back on
neatly raked lawns, whichever comes
first. When you get to my house, you
wont see any piles out front. Not since
Ive recently had this fact reconfirmed in
my brain: Leaves are compost waiting to
happen, and compost is black gold for
next years garden.
Seven years ago, we moved from
across town, where we had a garden that
flourished. Not so in our newer locale,
and there are a few reasons why. One of
them has to do with the sunniest spot on
our new property being in our front
yard, and a vegetable garden doesnt
have as much curb appeal as, say, a rock
garden. A small spot along the east side
of the house would work for gardening,
but we have spent seven seasons talking
about tilling through the sod, and not
one minute doing it. Another reason is
that we left our composter behind when
we moved.
Sure, weve planted a few tomato
plants in the last few years, even had
some hanging from those green tubes
one year, but thats been about the extent
of our gardening here. So when I signed
up for the backyard composting work-
shop held a couple of weeks ago, I paid a
little higher price and acquired a new
composter at the same time.
I highly recommend the workshop to
all who are interested in tastier, healthier
produce as well as saving landfill space,
time and energy hauling leaves to the
curb, and all the other reasons that will
become apparent in taking the seminar.
Master Composter Virginia Lamb led
the course, and Dennis DeMatte, recy-
cling coordinator at Cumberland County
Improvement Authority (CCIA), helped
lead the discussion. The CCIA, in con-
junction with the Cumberland Master
Gardeners Program and Rutgers
Cooperative Extension of Cumberland
County hosted the workshop at
WheatonArts, which is home of the
countys Master Gardeners Program and
is a compost demonstration site where
you can view several working com-
posters, even if you dont take the course.
Turns out the composter and class
were just what I needed to jumpstart
next years garden. A composter, in fact,
is not even necessary, nor is tilling the
sod, I learned, when you use the lasagna
method. Its similar to a raised bed: We
put a layer of newspaper down on the
sod (which will die off long before spring
and it beats tilling through it), then a
thick layer of leaves and grass that was
mulched by the lawnmower (no raking!),
more green stuff (clippings, etc. to make
a 1:1 ratio of brown to green, so that the
pile is oxygenated), then hosed it all
down (H
2
O = more oxygen), then a thin
layer of compost from beneath an old
pile of leaves from a corner of the back-
yard. (See, we were composting all along
without a composter!)
Over the winter, the lasagna will
decompose, and we may pile a layer or
more on to keep it about eight inches
thick. Come springtime, we will turn the
layersor notand maybe add a little
more black gold from the composter and
we will bewell, goldengrowing let-
tuces, and onions and peppers and
cucumbers and Jersey tomatoes and mel-
ons. I only wish it hadnt taken us seven-
plus years to get there.
***
As I was driving home the other day, I
noticed a deer-crossing sign right there
on Oak Road not so far from Main Road.
Nothing so unusual about that. But
beneath the leaping deer, there was
another sign, also black silhouette on yel-
low pentagon, but the shadows here were
a pair of parading turkeys.
From my days working at the N.J.
Division of Fish, Game & Wildlife, I
recall that wild turkeys were reintroduced
in southern New Jersey a couple of
decades ago and have since flourished,
even to the point where there is now a
spring harvest season. And I know Im
not the only one to have nearly collided
with a wild turkey while driving.
Im just wondering how many of us
would take the roadkill home for pluck-
ing. Talk about your free (and locally
grown, free-range) turkey! I
Gold is worth a lot these days, including
black gold, otherwise known as autumn
leaves, compost, dirt... the stuff spring
gardens are made of.

Celebrities Bring Anti-Bullying Message to Petway
Vai Sikahema, former Philadelphia Eagles player, sports director at
Philadelphia's NBC10 TV and the host of "Wednesday's Child," a segment promot-
ing the adoption of children, visited Petway Elementary School in Vineland recent-
ly to deliver an anti-bullying message, said Jennifer Frederico, Petway principal.
Sikahema's presentation, which included his personal experiences with bully-
ing, was shared with all students.
The visit was arranged through cooperation with the South Jersey Youth
Alliance as part of the district's anti-bullying initiative. In addition to Petway,
Sikahema visited Veterans Memorial School at an earlier date and will speak at
Wallace Middle School on January 4.
According to Frederico, Sikahema's interactive presentation targets both pre-
vention and intervention, empowering students to recognize, refuse and report
bullying. In the evening, Sikahema presented his motivational assembly to the
Petway parents. A dinner was provided, for the evening event, through a generous
NJEA PRIDE in Education grant.
During the evening event, Seth Franco, a former Harlem Globetrotter who is
making similar presentations in district schools, made a surprise visit. Franco vis-
ited Landis School on October 29 and Rossi School on October 24.
"[Franco] spoke to the parents and students about overcoming adversity even
when it is difficult," said Frederico. "He spoke of perseverance and effort related to
reaching your goals. He also entertained everyone with his many basketball tal-
ents explaining that after a significant injury, which prevented him from a career
in professional basketball he practiced and practiced developing the many tricks
which led to his time with the Harlem Globetrotters."
Frederico said both men made a "true connection" with the school's students
and parents.
"They are phenomenal individuals who believe in helping children see their
potential," she said. "Petway staff has had a strong focus on character education
through our Pathway to Patriot Pride Program," said Frederico. "Through the
development of character skills and powerful role-models, our students will learn
the importance of recognizing and stopping bullying in our school.
"Vai Sikahema connected with the students, sharing real life experiences the
children could understand," she said. "His messageeveryone can make a differ-
encewas powerful. Our students learned how to stand together to end bullying."

he art of ballooning may have
entertained Vinelanders cele-
brating the towns 50th
Anniversary in 1911, but it man-
aged to catch area residents unaware 22
years later when an early flight of a newly
developed balloon ended unexpectedly in
Cumberland County, New Jersey. While
the journey originated in Ohio, its story can
be traced to such disparate locations as
Switzerland, Chicago and Bridgeton.
The tale begins with the birth of identi-
cal twins, Jean Felix and Auguste Piccard
in Basel, Switzerland on January 28, 1884.
Their fathers position as head of the
Chemistry Department at the University of
Basel was probably part of the reason for
Jeans Ph.D. in organic chemistry at the
Swiss Institute of Technology in 1909. He
would spend many of his years in various
academic environments in Europe and the
United States, but his recognition would
come with inventions that helped techno-
logically advance balloons, airplanes and
spacecrafts.
A 1968 book entitled Jean Felix Piccard,
Boy Balloonist by Lena Young de Grummond
and Lynn de Grummond Delaune focuses
on the early exploits of the scientist and
reveals that he was invited to teach at the
University of Chicago during World War I.
Accepting the position, Jean became enam-
ored of the United States, traveling to see
many sights during his first summer here.
Returning to Chicago for the fall semester
of 1918, he encountered a young woman
named Jeannette Ridlon, who had enrolled
in his graduate class in chemistry. They
were soon married and moved to
Switzerland for seven years before return-
ing with their three sons to America in
1926, when Jean would begin teaching at
M.I.T. In 1931, he became a U.S. citizen.
Auguste, meanwhile, pursued a degree
in physics and then entered a teaching
position in the University of Brussels. His
academic career would not earn him the
recognition for which he was destined.
According to the International Space
Hall of Fame website, Jean and Auguste
participated in a balloon ascent in 1913 in
Switzerland. Online sources indicate that it
would be another 17 years before they
became interested in this mode of travel
again. Augustes curiosity about the strato-
sphere, where the lack of a breathable
atmosphere and below-zero temperatures
require an airtight cabin to study it, led him
to begin work on an enclosed gondola that
would protect any passengers at such a
high altitude. With the aid of $14,000 from
the Fonds National de la Recherche
Scientifique, the physicist was able to suc-
cessfully construct a pressurized aluminum
capsule.
After an aborted attempt to fly his com-
pleted balloon in September 1930, Auguste,
with his assistant Paul Kipfer, took to the
air on May 27, 1931 in Augsberg, Germany,
and ascended 9.8 miles, setting a new
record. The British newspaper The
Guardian reported this year during the
80th Anniversary of the event that Piccard,
who used the flight to study cosmic rays
and test Einsteins theory of relativity,
expected to land on the Adriatic Sea, but
instead crash-landed in the Austrian Alps.
Sources reveal that Auguste, on August
18, 1932 during the second of his 27 flights,
broke the 10-mile mark and would eventu-
ally reach 14 miles before turning his atten-
tion to designing vehicles for deep sea
exploration.
In March 1933, National Geographic
magazine published an article by Auguste
on the details of his initial balloon flights. A
30-page feature with photos and text, the
article provides specifics on the spherical
gondola created by Piccard. The cabin was
provided with two manholes, he writes,
and eight little portholes about three inch-
es in diameter. It was just large enough to
contain the two observers and the circular
instrument boards that ran all around.
Piccard reports that he was also able to
provide his cabin with an apparatus for
regenerating the air.
It was also in 1933 that the brothers
would once again team up, this time to
design what the International Space Hall of
Fame website calls the stratospheric gon-
dola Century of Progress for the Chicago
Worlds Fair of the same name. The website
reports that Jean led a research team dur-
ing the initial flight of what some sources
claim was the largest balloon in the world
at the time. But the decision to replace him
with licensed pilots for the official Worlds
Fair flight would historically link the event
to southern New Jersey. I

Its a warm time of yearthat smell of
food in the house. Everybody goes to the
football game to root for Vineland or
Millvillethen you come home from the
cold game to the hot food.
John Procopio, Vineland
It means to give thanks for your family
and friends and take the time to remem-
ber the small things. You get all caught up
in the day-to-day and tend to forget the
small things.
Stacy Banks-Stacy, Vineland
Thanksgiving is an effective weapon for
giving thanks unto God who has given us
all things to be thankful for.
Kimberly Goldsboro, Millville
Im reflective about Thanksgiving. I think
about the people who left this year; I think
about my mother who passed away some
years ago and other people. Sometimes
its not that happy.
Lauren Hall, Millville (not pictured)
Family first, spending time with your fam-
ily and friendsand turkey, stuffing, gravy,
corn, applesauce
Christian Soto, Vineland
Im thankful for everything God has done
for me; Hes blessed me in so many ways
and Im very grateful.
Anna Blank, Lancaster County
It means being off work and spending
time with your family and enjoying good
food, and to thank the Lord. I also enjoy
the Woodstown-Salem football rivalry.
Ken Johnson, Woodstown
To me, its about Jesus.

*Tentative
Dolphins Train for
College Recruitment
Five Dolphin swimmers have
been training since mid-May. After
the SSA Championship they com-
mitted to a 16-week special swim
program under the direction of
Coach John Casadia. This program
centered around swimming the
400 I.M. and 200's of the speciali-
ty strokes (fly, back, breaststroke)
which are events that are not done
in high school. Swimming these
college events makes the swimmer
much more marketable for college
recruiting. The swimmers trained
both morning and night. Their
training also included a special
high-intensity weight training and
cybernetic program. They logged
500 miles since mid-May. They
attended a number of U.S. meets
during October and November.
Their final meet was the West
Shore Thanksgiving Invitational
held at Cumberland Valley High
School in Mechanicsburg, PA. Over
600 swimmers attended this two-
day meet.

Downtown Vineland
{ TODD NOON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, VDID / MAINSTREET VINELAND }
Express your views at a November 29 public hearing.
Circulation
Study Done
W
ith downtown Vineland
becoming a destination for
food, culture, and enter-
tainment, we all want to
make sure that we have plentiful parking,
that people know how to get to where
they need to go, and that our downtown
is attractive.
With this in mind, the City of Vineland
began last year to develop a comprehen-
sive parking, circulation, and landscaping
study with the help of a team of consult-
ants and input from Vineland residents
and business owners.
The study is done and now is your
chance to give your input. A public hear-
ing will take place this coming Tuesday,
November 29, at 7 p.m., at City Council
Chambers of Vineland City Hall, 640 E.
Wood St. Representatives from the
Parking Steering Committee, the City of
Vineland, and Nelson/Nygaard Consultant
Associates, Inc. will be on hand to explain
the study through a PowerPoint presenta-
tion and to answer questions from you.
You can read the full study ahead of time
by going to the City of Vinelands website,
www.vinelandcity.org, on the Public
Meetings page.
This initiative started when the City
saw that with the increase in foot and
vehicle traffic generated by the downtown
revitalization effort, a thorough study of
our parking, circulation, and wayfinding
needs would be needed. This included not
only a look at the availability of sufficient
parking stalls and lots, but the direction of
streets, allowances for bicycle traffic, and
wayfinding signage, among other items.
The team of consultants was hired and,
after reviewing present and past policies
and studies, they had meetings with three
focus groupsdowntown business own-
ers, employees/commuters, and advocates.
This resulted in a series of plans that
make up the study.
The public hearing will be your chance
to not only to learn or review the details
of the study, but to give your input as to
whether the study satisfies the needs of
those who live or work downtown and
those who patronize our downtown busi-
nesses. With an increasing number of
businesses attracting people from out of
town, we want to make sure that their
experience here is positivenot only in
getting to our downtown, but in getting
around our downtown. These needs have
changed significantly over the years and
we want to make sure that our downtown
Vineland meets the current needs.
* * *
Just in time for the holidays, down-
town storefronts are decorated with trees
again because of an ongoing cooperative
effort between the Vineland School
District, private schools, and Main Street
Vineland. John and Denise Procopio con-
ceived this project three years ago to bring
students and the community closer
together and build a stronger relationship
between our schools and local businesses.
The trees will be judged and the winners
announced next month. I want to thank
all those who participated.
* * *
On behalf of everyone at VDID/Main
Street Vineland, I want to wish you and
yours a very Happy Thanksgiving. After
the football game and turkey on Thursday
and the shopping on Friday, dont forget to
come out to Landis Avenue and enjoy our
Holiday Parade this weekend. It will take
place on Saturday, November 26 (rain
date: Sunday, November 27), at 5 p.m. and
will have the theme Holidays of the
Future. Float and fire truck contests will
be featured, in addition to marching
bands, classic cars, Santa and Mrs. Claus,
and the winners of the Little Miss & Mr.
Cherry Tomato Photo Contest. The
parade will start with performances by
members of the Vineland Regional Dance
Company and Canlan Ice Sports Vineland.
If you were planning to participate in the
parade and did not register, the deadline
for registration has passed and no regis-
trations will be allowed the night of the
parade. Come and enjoy! I

O Christmas Tree:
21 Tips to Selecting and
Caring for Your Tree
Selecting the Christmas tree is always a
family event. Most families have a favorite
type of tree and everyone looks for a
healthy, filled out tree with a nice shape.
But what else beyond that? And which vari-
ety is the best value this year?
It varies depending upon the weather,
which species were planted by the tree
farms years ago, and region of the country.
In New Jersey, the usual choices are blue
spruce, Norway spruce, white pine, and
Douglas-fir. Here are some tips that will get
your tree from farm to family room.
SELECTING A TREE
1. Get a healthy tree: Dont buy a tree that
is losing green needles, or has dry, brittle
twigs or a sour, musty smell. Excessive nee-
dle loss can be detected by vigorously
shaking the tree, or dropping it onto the
end of the trunk several times from a
height of about one foot. The loss of old
dead needles from the inside of the tree
does not indicate that there is a problem
with the tree. Mechanical shakers can
remove these needles, and reduce the
potential for a mess inside the home.
2. Size of the tree: Do not buy a tree
that is too large for the area where it will
be set up. Aside from paying more than
necessary, you will have to cut off a large
section of the lower trunk, and possibly
the lower whorl of branches. This might
ruin the appearance of the lower part of
the tree.
3. Bottom of the tree: Note the loca-
tion of large branches at the bottom of
the tree. Be sure that the handle is long
enough to allow display of the tree with-
out cutting off the lower whorl of large
branches. USDA grading rules specify
trees should have a handle 1 to 12 inches
long per foot of height.
TRANSPORTING THE TREE
4. Wrap the tree: If the transport time from
the retail lot or farm to the final destination
is more than 15 minutes, it is best to wrap
the tree in a tarp, or carry it in an enclosed
camper or the back of a pick-up. Strong
wind of 60 mph on the highway, especially
during warm weather, can damage a tree in
a short time.
5. Orientation on the car: Put the bottom
of the tree aiming forward to protect the
needles from being blown off.
6. Tie it securely: If the tree is carried on
the outside of a vehicle, tie it securely.
STORING THE TREE OUTSIDE
7. Keep out of sunlight (for same reasons
stated in Tip 4).
8. Keep it in water: If a tree cannot be

immediately displayed in water, make a
fresh cut on the base of the trunk, and stand
it in a bucket of water in a cool, shaded loca-
tion. When the tree is displayed in a water
holding stand, a second fresh cut is unneces-
sary but might enhance water uptake.
SETTING UP THE TREE IN A STAND
9. Cut off a disk of wood about 0.5 to 1 inch
thick from the base of the trunk immediate-
ly before putting the tree in the stand. Make
the cut perpendicular to the stem axis. Do
not cut at an angle, or into a v-shape, which
makes it far more difficult to hold the tree
plumb in the stand, and reduces the amount
of water available to the tree. Do not cut off
too much trunk, resulting in a handle too
short for the stand.
10. Drilling a hole in the base of the
trunk does not affect water uptake. The use
of I-V type devices to supply water direct-
ly to holes drilled in the tree is not as effec-
tive as displaying the tree in a more tradi-
tional type of stand.
11. Use a stand that fits your tree. Some
stands have circular rings at the top, so the
ring must be large enough so the trunk
goes through the hole. Other stands are
open, which allows more range in trunk
size. Avoid whittling the sides of the trunk
down to fit a stand. The outer layers of
wood are most efficient in taking up water
and should not be removed. Using stands
that are too small is a very common mis-
take. Fresh trees use
about one quart of
water per day per inch
of trunk diameter. The
stand should hold
enough water to last 24
hours. If the stand goes
dry and is subsequently
refilled, water uptake
may stop or be severely
limited, leading to premature drying.
Contraptions are available that maintain
constant water level in the stand.
12. Use cold water: Do not use hot water
in the stand; it is of no benefit.
13. No chemicals: Do not use chemicals
in the stand to prevent evaporation. Water
moves into the trunk at the lower cut end,
and eventually evaporates (transpires) from
the foliage. Evaporation from the surface of
water in the stand is negligible, compared to
the loss from transpiration. Do not use addi-
tives in water, including floral preservatives,
molasses, sugar, bleach, soft drinks, aspirin,
honey, or other concoctions. Do not apply
film-forming anti-transpirants. The prod-
ucts supposedly block the evaporation of
water from the surface of foliage, but in
reality have little benefit. Water-holding gels
in the stand. They reduce the amount of
water available to trees. Clean water is the
only requirement to maintain freshness.
DECORATING YOUR TREE
14. Keep away from heat: Keep displayed
trees away from point sources of heat (fire-
places, heaters, heat vents, direct sunlight).
Lowering the room temperature will slow
drying, resulting in less water consumption.
15. Lights: Use only UL approved lights
and electrical cords and devices on trees.
Check electrical cords and lights for damage
prior to placement on the tree.

If transport time is
more than 15 minutes,
the tree should be
wrapped to prevent it
from drying out.

16. Placement of ornaments: Hang all
ornaments that are breakable, have small,
detachable parts or metal hooks, or that
look like food or candy on higher branches
where small children can't reach them.
Green floral wire, which can be twisted
firmly around branches, is a great way to
hang fragile ornaments. More durable
Christmas ornaments like candy canes, holi-
day cards, knitted ornaments on higher
branches where small children can't reach
them. Green floral wire, which can be twist-
ed firmly around branches, is a great way to
hang fragile ornaments.
17. Pets: Keep pets out of the room in
which the tree is placed, especially if you
can't be there to supervise. Cats are known
for leaping onto Christmas trees, especially
when pursued by another pet. Use a ceiling
hook to keep the tree from toppling. Both
cats and dogs can knock down and break
glass ornaments, then cut themselves on the
pieces. Pets may also gnaw on electrical
cords for Christmas tree lights. So hide them
when possible, or help prevent injury by pur-
chasing a pet-proof cover for the wiring.
18. Avoid using artificial snow sprays, to
which some people are allergic and may
cause lung irritation if inhaled.
19. Turn off tree lights when you go to
bed or leave the house. Use only UL-
approved electrical decorations and exten-
sion cords, and check to be sure no cords
have frayed since you last used the lights.
WATERING YOUR TREE
20. Keep the tree stand filled with water.
Dried sap will form a seal over the cut
stump within several hours if the water level
falls below the base of the tree. If this
occurs, make another fresh cut in the butt-
end and promptly fill the stand with water.
Use hot tap water which will soften sap and
facilitate absorption.
21. How much water: A tree will absorb
as much as a gallon of water or more in the
24 hours after it is cut, and one or more
quarts everyday after. Maintaining a steady
water level prevents the needles from dry-
ing out and dropping off and the boughs
from drooping. Water will also keep the tree
fragrant. Do not allow the water pan to
empty or go below the tree base.

Potted or Balled Trees
Some people buy a potted or balled
Christmas tree with roots intact in
order to have a new landscape tree
in springtime. This can be very diffi-
cult to do successfully, but your
chances of success increase if the
tree is treated right.
Buy a healthy tree from a rep-
utable nursery or grower. Expect to
pay a higher price than for a typical
Christmas tree.
Keep the tree in a shaded area
or a unheated garage until it is
brought inside.
Keep the soil in the ball or pot
moist until well after it is trans-
planted after Christmas. A frozen
ball need not be watered if the
crown is shaded and protected.
Lift and carry the tree by the ball
or pot, not the top.
Keep the tree in the house no
longer than about one week.
If possible, keep the room that
the tree is in cool (to help prevent it
from starting to bud out)
Have the tree's planting hole dug
before the soil freezes and keep the
fill dirt thawed. The hole should be
four times the size of the root ball.
If the dirt was heavy clay or poor
sand, be sure to improve it with
amendments (manure, grass clip-
pings, ground leaves, compost, etc.)
Evergreens like an acid soil, so
don't add lime.
Remove packing paper, sawdust
and binding materials when plant-
ing the tree. Stake the tree for its
first year, if possible.

many people focus on what
they're thankful for. Family and
friends will gather around tables
full of wonderful, delicious, handed-down
favorite recipes, and will spend quality time
chatting, laughing and making new cherished
memories. Im personally and truly thankful
and grateful for all Gods blessings, and for

part of my life. As I sit to dine at our family
Thanksgiving Day dinner, I will, as always,
first give thanks. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thats-a
Thanksgiving
T
hanksgiving is rather a most per-
sonal concept. Consider the ori-
gins, derived as it is from intro-
spective, devout Puritans. And
so, having been gifted by the calendar with
privilege of penning a timely column just
one day before Americas original holiday, I
offer my own off-center point of view.
In our home, like many others,
Thanksgiving food preparation began well
in advance. Tuesday and Wednesday
nights, to be specific. Time for soup stock
to simmer, cranberries to be boiled and pies
to cool on the patio.
For those unfamiliar, Italian-American
Thanksgiving has a few of its own unique
twists and oddities. This is even referenced
in television pop culture during He is
Risen, a third-season episode of The
Sopranos. Silvio Dante (Steven Van Zandt)
and Paulie Gaultieri (Tony Sirico) elaborate
on mutual family traditions including
major antipasto, escarole soup and baked
manicotti as pre-turkey warm-ups.
Our meal however, though slightly dif-
ferent, was equally complex, lifting off
with the gourmet treat prosciutto and
melon while the midday sun was still high
in the sky.
Soup followed, always tortellini, in a
light, golden chicken broth.
After a short repose and a chance to
check in with the NFL, real fireworks
began. Our antipasto, a towering construct
of spicy, pickled, smoky goodness was care-
fully hoisted to the table.
From an early age, this array of
Mediterranean ethnic specialties was not
only my favorite course, but one I took an
active role in devising.
Sure, there had to be olives, several vari-
eties, pepperoncini (tiny pickled hot pep-
pers) giardiniera (a combine of pickled car-
rots, cauliflower, celery, onion and zucchi-
ni) tonno (costly Italian imported tuna in
olive oil) marinated artichokes, end-of-sea-
son tomatoes and anchovies, collected atop
a bedding of romaine leaves.
But it was all the exquisite lunchmeat,
soft, yielding prosciutto, rich Genoa salami,
peppery capicola and soppressata, along
with plenty of sliced provolone and chunks
A real Italian-American Thanksgiving does not go
easy on the digestive system, but food is all about
love and family traditions.
An antipasto platter is a
traditional precursor to
Turkey in many Italian-
American households.

of fragrant parmigiana, that really whet my
appetite.
I loved tightly rolling them up fresh
from their deli wrappings, arranging meat
and cheese like fatty little guardian soldiers
ringed about a castle composed of those
other ingredients.
Served in simple family fashion with a
loaf or two of crusty bread, it remains one
of my very happiest food-related memories.
After this massive course, which could
have easily satisfied the nutritional needs of
multiple small villages anywhere in the
Third World, we took to the couches for a
second football-induced siesta.
I will never forget the beleaguered look
on my now-wife-of-20-years countenance
the first time she subjected herself to one
of these epic eating endeavors.
Her whispered, pithy comment At what
time does the intermission dance number
begin? remains one of the funniest, most
accurate bon mots ever spoken.
Turkey, a beast nearing 20 pounds in
girth, was typically removed from the oven
at dusk, around 5 p.m. This meant a full-on
tryptophan-spiked colossus of foodpota-
toes; standard mashed and candied sweets,
steamed broccoli with grated cheese, string
beans sauted in olive oil, cranberries and
stuffing plus rollsheading directly toward
your face.
All the splendid excesses of late-20th
century America.
I am firmly convinced that sometime in
the distant future, anthropologists will look
back upon those of our era with a bizarre
combination of disgust and pure, utter glut-
tonous envy.
But, of course, that couldnt be the end
of our feasting. By now, the 4 p.m. game
would be winding down, skies fully dark,
air frosty and still.
After literally collapsing under the sheer
weight of food already consumed, wed be
summoned to the table a half hour or so
later for a round of desserts, coffee and tea.
An assortment of piespumpkin, apple,
mincemeat and either cherry or blueber-
ryrounded out our day of mass consump-
tion. Along with Italian cookies, biscotti,
cannolis and occasionally a sfogliatelle (say
s-fee-a-dell) or three.
Those of you reading on earnestly
awaiting the drop of another shoe are
about to have your patience richly reward-
ed. The year 2011 will not be a year of such
uninterrupted gastronomic indulgence for
yours truly.
With minor surgery scheduled just prior
to Thanksgiving, this years culinary festivi-
ties need be severely curtailed.
Im counting on the rest of you to make
up for my absence. Please dont let me down.
And, while youre at it, have a happy
Thanksgiving. I

Italian Heritage Month Celebrated
Millville Public Charter School students, grades kindergarten through second,
had their fill of pasta, pizza, and puppets in October, celebrating Italian Heritage
Month. Celebrating the voyage of
famous Italian Christopher Columbus,
and his legendary journey to the
Americas in 1492, each classroom
teacher emphasized various aspects of
Italian history and culture with hands-on
activities including crafts and cooking.
The monthlong cultural exploration
culminated in a festival with special vis-
itors, Italian language teacher, Jamie
Tomlin, assisted by Miss Julia from Italy,
and her puppet friend, Caballo. While
visiting grade one, they taught students
conversational Italian words and geo-
graphical details of Italy plus led stu-
dents in playing games while singing
the words in Italian such as the familiar
Ring Around the Rosy (pictured).
Native American
Culture Taught
Chief Pedro Torres of the
Jatibonicu Taino Indian Tribe
spoke to students at Landis
Middle School on recently to
help celebrate the start of Native
American Heritage Month.
Chief Torres was born in
1951, in the central mountain-
ous part of Puerto Rico, which
is the Taino Indian native home-
land. He is a chief of the
Jatibonicu Taino Indian tribe,
and can trade his family back to
its bloodline as chiefs in the
tribe. He immigrated back and forth from Puerto Rico to the US several times in
his life, and graduated from Vineland High School in 1970. He later graduated
from Rutgers University in 1977. He has written and published several articles
about his tribe's culture, and continues to be an activist for his tribe. He is
presently retired, butworks for his tribe as a member of their tribal council.
Following his presentation, Chief Torres, pictured, showed various artifacts to
the students representing his tribe's culture and history.
Ellison Students Complete "Monumental" Project
When Ellison's fourth graders were challenged with researching one of the his-
torical monuments located in Washington, DC, they wasted no time getting start-
ed. The students paired up, selected a monument, conducted their research, and
prepared a Power Point presentation for use in presenting their reports to their
entire class and parents. In addition, the students took on the optional portion of
the assignment, which was to create a life-like model of their monument.
"This assignment is an example of how Ellison teachers work together to
challenge our students with cross-curricular projects," says Andrea Foster, fourth
grade teacher at the Vineland private school. "While the project was rooted in
Social Studies, the children also gained valuable skills using computer software,
conducting research, art and public speaking. The best part was the confidence
they gained along the way, which was so evident in their presentations."
From left: Joseph Bartolozzi, Guiliano Finizio, Paulie Infranco, Meshari Al-Anazi, CJ
Ottinger, Luca Covino, Christian Carson, Ethan Infranco, Kimberly Kinkade and Derien
Hartline, all Ellison Fourth Graders, proudly display the replicas they made of some of
the historial monuments located in Washington, DC.
Student Athletes Collect Food For Less Fortunate
The Vineland High School Boys Soccer Team and the Girls Swim Team recent-
ly coordinated efforts to restock the sadly depleted shelves in the food pantry at
Family Success Center of Vineland, according to swim coach Mike Schneider and
soccer coach Eric Spinnato.
The Family Success Center is affiliated with South Jersey Regional Healthcare
and is located at 1038 E. Chestnut Ave, Suite 130. Family Success Center offers
numerous services to members of our community. All the services are free to
community residents.
Services at the Center include but are not limited to Parents Anonymous,
Heating Assistance, Electric Bills, Food Closet, Clothing Closet, Job Hunting,

Application Assistance, GED Assistance, Resource Library, and Babysitting
Course. In all, the Center makes available to families nearly 30 different assis-
tance programs, and welcomes suggestions for workshops or classes that resi-
dents believe would be beneficial to our community.
The VHS Boys Soccer Team and Girls Swim Team pose with some of the food iteams
they collected recently.

Students
Delsea Regional High
School principal, Paul
Berardelli, announced that
Kevin Dittmar, Samantha
Mazzi, Sarah McAlister and
Zachary Smolsky have been
named as Commended
Students in the 2012
National Merit Scholarship
Program. A Letter of
Commendation from the
school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the
program, was presented by the guidance director, Mr. David Doyle to these
scholastically talented seniors.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recog-
nized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in
the 2012 competition for Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students
placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered
the 2012 competition by taking the 2010 Preliminary SAT/National Merit
Scholarship Qualifying Test.
The young men and women named Commended Students in the National
Merit Program have exhibited an outstanding academic performance for which
they are being honored. We hope that the recognition received by these scholas-
tically talented students will encourage them to take advantage of opportunities
for the continued pursuit of excellence. The nation will benefit from the full
development of this valuable intellectual resource.

Schools Help Raise Funds to Battle Breast Cancer
During the month of October several Vineland District Schools participated in
the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Fundraiser."
"Together we raised $4,018 that went directly to the American Cancer Society,"
said Dan Greco, Durand School Principal. "Most schools utilized a 'Dollars for
Denim' program and also collected donations. Winslow Elementary led the way,
collecting $1,050, Durand pulled in $1,003 and D'Ippolito raised $710.
Wallace Middle School, Leuchter/Dallago, Barse and Petway Elementary also
participated. At Durand, there were two culminating events: A group of teachers
took part in the Making Strides walk in Ocean City under the leadership of
Assistant Principal Renee Braxton, and Durand hosted "Pink Day."
"This is just one example of how Durand and other schools in our district con-
tinually support worthy causes," said Greco. "Educators are special people, who are
quick to give up their time and money for what they believe in. I am proud to lead
such a wonderful staff here at Durand and to be a part of a district like Vineland."

OLMA Welcomes Foreign Students
Its certainly not listed as one of the courses provided to students at Our Lady
of Mercy Academy but, international relations has become the focus of the entire
student body, faculty and administration at the all-girls college preparatory school
in Newfield. The enrollment of two foreign students will have that effect.
The start of the 2011-2012 school year marked a milestone for OLMA when two
young ladiesRuta Vetra and Maria Rubanenrolled at the school. Vetra arrived
from the City of Jurmala in Latvia. Ruban came to America from Kiev, Ukraine.
Both 16, they are members of the junior class at the Gloucester County school.
We were thrilled when we heard from the Diocese [of Camden] that the young
ladies families were interested in enrolling the girls at our school, said Principal
Sr. Grace Marie.
I enjoy the challenge [of the OLMA courses], said Vetra. School is not meant
to be easy.
As for Ruban, while leaving her mother and father behind on the other side of the
planet has not been easy, she cherishes the opportunity to be in America. The use
of Skype to communicate on a regular basis has helped ease her homesickness.
This is what I have always wanted, she explained. We grow up [in the
Ukraine] reading about life in America and it all seemed so wonderful. But it is
much better than I imagined. People are so friendly and very helpful. I am so
happy to be here.
As part of their initiation into the American way of life, both Vetra and Ruban
were provided a tour of area hotspots by their classmates. Trips to Wawa and
Applebees were part of the plan.
When I arrived, all the girls kept talking about Wawa and Applebees, said
Vetra. I didnt understand what a Wawa was. Now I go there quite often.
Thats just a small part of maintaining positive international relations.
