Your Visit Can Make a

Difference to a Hospice Patient
Heartland Hospice is looking for dedicated, caring volunteers with an interest in visiting hospice patients and their families in
Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland counties. Your volunteer service is based on your
choice of commitment. They will place you
close to your home to provide a friendly visit
to patients who are on their final journey.
Currently, they are in need of military veterans willing to visit other veterans. The need
is great for veteran volunteers to visit others
who have served our county. The bond is
only what another veteran understands.
Heartland volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate
help. Some interact directly with patients
and families. Others prefer to work behind
the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you help determine which tasks youre
best suited to perform.
The tasks of volunteers include:
Helping with office support tasks at the
agency
Staying with patients so family members
can get a much-needed rest
Reading, or providing a comforting touch
Playing or singing soothing music to
patients
Keeping vigil with patients in their final
hours
Providing a friendly visit to lift a patient's
spirits
Providing special veteran volunteer
support to patients who are veterans
Certified Pet Visitors also needed.
These and other tasks are why hospice
volunteers are such an essential part of the
Heartland Experience.
Volunteer training is offered throughout
the year to fit each person's schedule. Call
the volunteer coordinator at 609-641-4675
for more information or to register for the
next training session.
85,000 SJ Residents Live with

Alzheimers Disease. Show
Support November 2.
by Carey Cowles, Woodbury,
Alzheimers Advocate
Monday, November 2 is New Jersey
Alzheimers Disease Awareness Day. In
honor of people living with Alzheimers disease, or in memory of individuals whose
lives have been taken by it, we invite the
community to wear purplethe signature
color of the Alzheimers Associationto
show support and raise awareness.
My father died a little more than three
years ago from Alzheimer's disease. I still
miss him.
Who is at risk for Alzheimers disease?
Everyone with a brain. Alzheimers is a
debilitating brain disorder that robs people
of their cognitive abilities and ultimately
their lives. Every 67 seconds someone in the
U.S. develops the disease, which is our
nation's 6th leading cause of death.
Alzheimers is the only disease in the list of
top-10 causes of death for which there is no
way to prevent, cure or even slow its

progression.
Alzheimers has had a profound impact
on New Jersey. Consider there are currently
85,000 residents living with Alzheimer's or
a related disorder within seven counties in
South Jersey alone. The State will not be
immune from future socio and economic
impacts of this disease. Between now and
2025, it is projected that our State will have
a 23.5 percent increase in residents age 65
and older living with Alzheimers. The associated costs to both the families and our
State will be staggering.
The New Jersey Alzheimers Disease
Study Commission is finalizing a report of
its findings and recommendations to
Governor Christie about the future impact
and incidence within the State. We urge the
Governor to make the Commission's report
a priority and ask that he fully support the
recommendations once published. Doing so
will help raise awareness about one of this
country's most significant health epidemics; facilitate the continued development of integrated and responsive community-based services; and ease the burden on
persons with Alzheimers disease and their
family members and caregivers through
expanded support.
The Alzheimers Association is the leading voluntary health organization in
Alzheimers care, support and research.
More information about Alzheimers disease or the Alzheimers Association's
Delaware Valley Chapters programs and
services is available at the 24/7 Helpline,
800-272-3900, or online at
www.alz.org/delval.
hydrant flushing may cause temporary

inconveniences such as lower water pressure and appearance issues such as discoloration of tap water. Discolored water
poses no threat to the publics health, but it
may stain laundry and if consumed, may
have an unpleasant taste. Residents should
be certain that all discolored water is out of
their homes plumbing and hot water heater
prior to washing clothes or drinking it,
Lamb said.
In the event that clothes become discolored due to the flushing operations, residents are advised not to place clothes in the
dryer. A commercial fabric rust removal
detergent is available from the City of
Bridgeton Water Department, located at
2 S. Industrial Boulevard, and residents can

obtain the detergent at the Industrial
Boulevard location.
The City is asking for cooperation with
the hydrant program and asking that residents noticing discolored water flush their
system by running cold water from the
bathtub for approximately 5 minutes and/or
flushing the toilet several times. If the discoloration persists after that, residents
should contact the City of Bridgeton Water
Department at 455-7257.
Although residents may experience
some temporary inconveniences, the flushing program is necessary to maintain a good
water supply for both firefighting and
domestic use, said Lamb.

The City of Bridgeton Water Department

begins its annual fire hydrant flushing program thsi week. The hydrant flushing
process will operate on a rotating schedule
through the city over several weeks, taking
place on a Monday through Friday basis,
between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
According to Water Superintendent Keith
Lamb, the program may take three to four
weeks to complete.
The main purpose of this program is to
make sure the citys fire hydrants are operating properly, through periodic inspections, flow testing and preventative maintenance. Additionally, a pro-active hydrant
flushing program is the key to lessening
water quality problems by removing iron
and manganese mineral deposits from the
water line said Lamb.

You can shed tears that she is gone,
Or you can smile because she lived,
You can close your eyes and pray she will come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she has left.
You can remember her and only that she is gone

Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,

nyone traveling through

Grovers Mill, New Jersey today
might be underwhelmed by the
unassuming nature of this hamlet nestled in the rural confines of West
Windsor Township. The Martians that
landed here 77 years ago have long since
met their demise from the Earths germs,
and the radio broadcast that carried the
details of their landing has been forgotten
by many of the residents here and elsewhere. But reminders of the infamous
Orson Welles Mercury Theater radio
show of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds are
still scattered throughout the area as a
vestige to the villages claim to fame.
The site of Van Nest Park, established
in 1962 near Grovers Pond, isnt considered the actual landing site of the
Martians, but it contains the story of the
broadcast for anyone unfamiliar with the
historic event. According to the New York
Times, it took half a century after the

broadcast to unveil a monument to the
event: To mark the 50th anniversary of
the faux invasion in October 1988, the
town held a three-day festival with costume contests, a parade, a bike race and
fireworks. At that time, a plaque depicting
Orson Welles, a spaceship and frightened

radio listeners was installed in Van Nest

Park, next to Grovers Pond.
More recently, through the efforts of
Danny Fitzpatrick and his Eagle Scout
project, a series of four plaques elevated
on stands were added in 2013. Distributed
along the walking path in the park, the
plaques tell the tale of the broadcast from
that night of October 30, 1938.
The first two, titled War of the Worlds
Broadcast and The October 30
Broadcast, provide basic information
about the 8 p.m. radio show hosted and
narrated by Orson Welles and presented as
a series of news bulletins. There is mention
of the Martian capsule landing in Grovers
Mill and the Martians eventually being
overcome by pathogens. The third plaque

contains quotes from the script while the
fourth covers the international reaction to
the show, reporting that approximately six
million people are believed to have heard
the broadcast. It also comments on the
legend that residents shot at a water tower,
mistaking it for the Martian ship.
That particular landmark, according to
longtime Grovers Mill resident Tate
Tantum, stands on private property near
the Grovers Mill barn, a former feed store
and lawnmower shop that has been transformed into a professional building.
According to a New York Times article,

the tower sits on the land that once
belonged to the Grover family, the hamlets namesake whose corn mill across the
street has been reconstituted as living
quarters near the waters edge. In 1987,
Catherine Shrope-Mok and her husband
inherited the property. The new owners
planned on removing the unsightly tower
but, as Ms. Shrope-Mok told the paper,
we found out it had a long life of significance, so we stayed with it."
In 2005, the New York Times reported
that the water tower, now covered with
enough poison ivy to keep any sightseer at
a distance, is the one remaining structure

directly linked to the Mercury Theater
program. On the night of the broadcast, a
local resident, William Dock, grabbed his
rabbit gun and shot at the water tank,
thinking it was the aliens spacecraft.
Today, the tower is hidden during the
summer months by the foliage surrounding the property so that its impossible to
view. Tantum, whose wife grew up next
door to the Grover Mill and whose family
has celebrated the anniversaries of the
broadcast, confirms that its still there.
But other than the water tower and the
parks tribute, the story of this former
farming communitys role in the War of

the Worlds broadcast has settled into oral
history here. Families like Tantums have
preserved the lore of the 1938 panic and
share it in conversations with strangers
visiting the area. And there is something
special about hearing from a resident that,
legend has it, Welles had known a Grovers
Mill family who resided in a red house
that is still standing just past the park
location. Or that many residents, on the
night of October 30, 1938, fled from their
homes, leaving doors wide open, to search
the New Jersey night for a haven from the
terror of a radio script. I

ASSEMBLY CANDIDATES (4)
Candidate: Jim Sauro

Republican
Candidate: Sam Fiocchi
Republican
About the candidate:
Born and raised in Vineland, Sam Fiocchi
went to work in his familys business serving
the regions agricultural industry. He owned
and operated the company, Lee Rain, Inc.,
for almost 40 years and is a past president
and board member of the New Jersey
Irrigation Association.
In an effort to give back to the community,
Fiocchi co-founded the Vineland In-Line
Youth Hockey League and has volunteered
as a coach for youth hockey and soccer
leagues. He is also a former member and
now benefactor of the Boy Scouts of America
Troop 36, and a member and lector at St.
Padre Pio Parish.
As an elected official, Fiocchi has earned
recognition from small business groups,
sportsmen, and pro-taxpayer organizations,
and as a citizen, he was awarded the
NAACPs Political Courage Award in 2011
and later was selected to chair the ARC of
Cumberland Countys 2013 Walk-a-thon.
Fiocchi was elected to the Cumberland
County Board of Chosen Freeholders, where
he served from 2011 through December 2013,
before being sworn into the General
Assembly in January 2014. Sam has two sons
and a grandson.
In your opinion, what are the three
biggest issues facing the county?
Southern New Jerseys broken economy
and the lack of good-paying jobs are the top
issues facing our region. Years of tax and
spending increases, coupled with crippling
regulations and red tape passed by the
politicians in Trenton have hurt our state,
and especially Cumberland County. As local
businessmen, Jim Sauro and I know what it
takes to get things turned around. We will
use our private sector experience to formulate solutions in Trenton, not just the same
stale talking points people in southern New
Jersey have been fed for years by the
incumbent Democrats. We need to incentivize job creation and attract new businesses, not continue driving them away
with higher taxes and more regulation. Its
not just the employers who get hurt, its the
employees who get no raises, pay more for
healthcare, and see less chance for
advancement. We need to fix this and both
Jim and I have the experience to do so.
How do you plan to address the issues
listed above if elected?
Property Taxes: We need to control and
lower property taxes. The 2 percent cap on
property taxes was a start, but we must do
more. My legislation, A-157, which provides
direct property tax relief through the New
Jersey gross income tax and also increases
certain tax credits. This legislation will
deliver real relief to working and middle

class families, responsibly stimulating New
Jersey's economy while improving the
states tax climate.
Crime: Crime is at an all-time high in
Cumberland County. We need to support our
law enforcement who are trying to keep us
safe in the county. We also support A-3590,
which would require the Dept. of Corrections
to transport an inmate being released from
a State correctional facility to the county in
which the crime for which the inmate was
serving the sentence was committed.
Jobs: Cumberland County is one of the
highest unemployed counties in the State.
That is unacceptable to us and we are working to create more jobs and keep businesses
here. We want to fix our local economy and
help businesses grow. We need to work on
bringing manufacturing jobs and I have a
Manufacturing Package that would do just
that for Cumberland County.
Please provide a closing statement:
Up until my victory in 2013, our representatives in the State Assembly were all
from the same partycontrolled and funded
by Trenton and North Jersey Democrats
and special interests who dont care about
southern New Jersey. The Fiocchi-Sauro
Team will bring real world, private sector
business experience to Trenton and advocate for policies that incentivize job growth
and economic development. We will vote
against higher taxes; will oppose politicians
in both parties who support North Jersey
casinos; and will be independent voices that
always put South Jersey first. Moreover, as
Vineland natives, we will give Cumberland
County its strongest voice in Trenton in
decades. Our opponents, Bob Andrzejczak
and Bruce Land, have zero business experience, and their invisible campaign that has
hid from the press and public, while benefiting from millions in attack ads from outside
special interests is everything that is wrong
with politics today.

Jim Sauro returned to the Cumberland
County Freeholder Board last year after an
earlier stint from 2000 through 2002, the
last year of which he served as Director.
Sauro has earned a reputation for speaking his mind and not playing politics.
During his campaign in 2014, Sauro campaigned on a comprehensive plan for economic growth and was endorsed by the
South Jersey Times as a businessman who
knows what the county needs to do to
attract more industryand jobs. Sauro has
also been a fierce advocate for the establishment of a four-year Vo-tech school in
the county to help local students have
more educational opportunities that could
translate into good jobs.
He serves on the Board of Directors for
the Elwyn Institute; is a member of the
Greater Vineland Chamber of Commerce
and was the former legislative chairman
for the New Jersey State League of Master
Plumbers.
Sauro graduated from Vineland High
School with honors, and attended
Cumberland County College, Cumberland
County Vo-Tech, Gloucester County
College and Cape May Vo-Tech.
He is married with one son and two
daughters, and a new grandchild.
Property Taxes are a major issue, as
young families cant afford to settle here
and seniors cant afford to stay. I voted
against this years tax hike on the
Freeholder Board and will fight back
against tax increases in Trenton, too. We
cant keep taking money out of peoples
pockets when they arent getting enough
into their pockets in the first place. The
economy in southern New Jersey is far
behind the curve, and that is due to the
policies in Trenton that have over-taxed
and over-regulated small business people
right out of the state. In addition,
Cumberland County has a serious crime
problem that is threatening our quality of
life. The recent decision by the Freeholder
Board to endorse drivers licenses for illegal immigrants wont help. Sam Fiocchi
and I led the charge against it and will do
our best to block any legislation in Trenton
that allows it in the future.
How do you plan to address the
issues listed above if elected?
Property Taxes: We need to control and
lower property taxes. The 2 percent cap on
property taxes was a start, but we must do
more. Assemblyman Sam Fiocchis legislation, A-157, which provides direct property
tax relief through the New Jersey gross
income tax and also increases certain tax
credits, will deliver real relief to working
and middle class families, responsibly stimulating New Jersey's economy while
improving the states tax climate.
Crime: Crime is at an all-time high in
Cumberland County. We need to support
our law enforcement who are trying to
keep us safe in the county. We also support
A-3590, which would require the
Department of Corrections to transport an
inmate being released from a State correctional facility to the county in which the
crime for which the inmate was serving the
sentence was committed.
Jobs: Cumberland County is one of the
highest unemployed counties in the State.
That is unacceptable to us and we are
working to create more jobs and keep businesses here. We want to fix our local economy and help businesses grow. We need to
work on bringing manufacturing jobs and
Assemblyman Fiocchi has a Manufacturing
Package that would do just that for
Cumberland County
I have owned and operated a small business in Vineland for years, and am proud of
the way weve treated our customers and
been a part of the community in a positive
way. I want to take the experience as a
small business owner in southern New
Jersey to Trenton and advocate for policies
that help employers grow their business
and employees reap the benefits, too, with
higher wages, better healthcare, and more
economic opportunity for them and their
families to build a better life. Unfortunately
the policies promoted by our opponents
have driven up taxes and chased away
business. They and their Trenton
Democrat friends have proven that South
Jersey is a second class citizen, and that
needs to change. If Sam and I are elected as
a team to the State Assembly, we will be
powerful voices for positive change and
economic growth here in Cumberland
County and throughout southern New
Jersey.
Candidate: Bob Andrzejczak
Candidate: Bruce Land
Democrat
Democrat

At an early age, I took a leadership role as
Sgt. in the United States Army, and that experience was unfortunately cut short. After
being struck by an armor piercing grenade, I
lost my left leg and had to medically retire
from the military. I was awarded the Bronze
Star (with Valor) and the Purple Heart. Im a
middle class hard working guy who understands the struggles families are facing. I am
married with two children Bobby Jr. (2) and
Jana (4 months). It was an honor to serve our
country and it is also an honor to serve you as
your Assemblyman.
In the Assembly I am the Chairman of the
Agriculture and Natural Resources
Committee and a member of the Military and
Veterans Affairs Committee.
There are many issues facing Cumberland
County but I would have to say the three
biggest are the economy/jobs, the increased
crime rate, and veterans healthcare.
In order to restore our economy and get
people working again, we need a multifaceted approach. One thing we need to do is
branch education with industry so that we
are educating and training people in the
areas that are needed by industry. One of the
main enticements for a business is a qualified
worker or the ability to qualify people to
work in whatever they specialize in.
Cumberland County has already started this
process.
The rising crime rate is a huge concern of
mine. We need to be aggressive and attack
this by using every resource we have. Form a
taskforce between local police, state police,

I am a former U.S. Army Sergeant and
served in Vietnam. As a soldier in Vietnam,
I was the recipient of two Bronze Stars, one
with Valor, and the Soldiers Medal for
bravery while my platoon came under
attack.
At home in Vineland, I have tried to give
back to the community through volunteer
work. I coached at various levels of youth
sports, including Vineland Little League,
Vineland Basketball, Vineland Soccer, and
CYO Basketball. I am a mentor with the Big
Brothers and Big Sisters of Cumberland
and Salem County, an officer at the
Vineland North Italy Club, a member of the
Millville Thunderbolt Club, former member of the Vineland YMCA Mens Club, and
a member of the NJ Superior Officers
Association.
I am a retired Captain from the New
Jersey Department of Corrections. My wife
Bonnie and I just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. We have two sons and
three grandchildren. I want my children
and grandchildren to be proud of where
they are from and to be able to stay here.
There are many issues facing
Cumberland County but I would have to
say the three biggest are the economy, the
increased crime rate, and of course taxes.
I believe the economy and taxes go hand
and hand. We need to stop the bleeding;
people are leaving this State at a rapid rate
and they are taking their money with them.
The more people leave the more the rest of
us pay. A few things that need to be done.
We need to eliminate the pension tax for
everyone. We need to eliminate the
the sheriffs office, and the prosecutors

office. I learned in the military that communication at all levels is key to maintaining a
level of safety.
Veterans healthcare is obviously very personal to me. Watching World War II and
Korean War veterans, men and women who
served this country spending hours traveling
out of state for healthcare is unacceptable.
We need to continue to push the Veterans
Administration to allow veterans to use their
local hospitals. Not only does this help the
veteran but will end up producing more local
jobs.
It has been my honor serving you in the
New Jersey Legislature and I hope that you
will give me the chance to continue to serve. I
will keep fighting for you just as hard as I
fought for our country.
Inheritance tax and cut the Estate Tax.

This is just a start. We need to stop pushing
people out of the state and start pulling
them back in. We all have friends who have
left the state because of the expense. It
needs to stop.
Coming from law enforcement, I recognize that the crime rate is a huge concern.
Something drastic needs to be done. We
need to pool all of our resources and work
together to combat this problem. Bring the
local police, state police, sheriffs office,
and prosecutors office together. Share
knowledge and come up with a plan to
make our streets safer. Cumberland County
is a great place to live; we cant let a few
bad actors ruin our towns.
Im the first to admit Im new to this
arena but I think that makes me a good
candidate. Im a regular guy who grew up
and raised my family right here in
Cumberland County. I know what challenges you are facing because Ive faced
similar ones. Im ready to give this everything I have, Im asking you to give me a
chance.

Guaracini Fine & Performing Arts Center, Sherman Ave. and College
Drive, Vineland. 7 p.m. Cumberland's One Book-One College reading
campaign will be highlighted with a visit from Orphan Train author
Christina Baker Kline. Free.
Orphan Train is a gripping tale of upheaval and resilience, friendship and second chances. Between 1854 and 1929, so-called orphan
trains ran regularly from cities on the East Coast to the farmlands of
the Midwest, carrying thousands of abandoned children whose fates
would be determined by luck or by chance. Would they be adopted
by a kind and loving family, or would they face a childhood and adolescence of hard
labor and servitude?
Moving between contemporary Maine and Depression-era Minnesota, the book tells
the story of Vivian, a young Irish immigrant who is sent by rail from New York City to an
uncertain future a world away. Returning east later in life, Vivian leads a quiet, peaceful
existence on the coast of Maine, the memories of her upbringing rendered a hazy blur.
But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past.
Now in its 12th year, the goal of Cumberland County Colleges successful One BookOne College campaign is to encourage reading for pleasure, critical thinking, global
awareness and multicultural understanding, and to get the campus and the community
to bond by discussing relevant themes covered in a single book.
For more information about the One Book-One College program, call Professor
Sharon Kewish at 856-691-8600, ext. 1358.

CELEBRATING THE
OF LONG-TIME
AREA BUSINESSES
Vineland businesses celebrate milestone anniversaries.
{ BY JEFF SCHWACHTER }
ABOVE: Joe Moro and staff at Joes Butcher Shop. BELOW LEFT: Sir Speedy staff.
sk the owners of three separate

Vineland businesses celebrating
milestones in 2015 the secrets to
their respective longevity and success and
each will give you very similar answers.
Along with offering quality products,
being dependable and customer-service oriented, each business celebrating a milestone
this year is entrenched in the community,
has adapted with the times, and is carrying
on local traditions while its owners execute
business philosophies passed down by their
predecessors and peers.
TAKING OVER WHERE OTHERS LEFT OFF

Sir Speedy, 22 W. Landis Ave.,
Vineland, 856-691-0741.
Alison Trovarelli, managing partner of Sir
Speedy, joined the staff as a customer service
representative, then worked for two decades
under the previous owners as the stores customer service manager.
I worked here for 20 years for Orville and
Ginger Chase and in May of last year Orville
decided to sell the business, says Trovarelli.
And my aunt and I purchased it. So weve
been owners for a little over a year.
In the trenches since the mid-1990s
Orville Chasewere very active in the community and earned a great reputation for
actually caring about their customers.
Over the past year, Trovarelli and her aunt
have been remodeling Sir Speedy and this
past July debuted their new front-of-store
look.
Its a lot more warm and welcoming,
says Trovarelli.
While West Landis Avenues Sir Speedy
has changed with the times, its new owners
strive to keep the neighborhood feel and
community values that have helped to keep
the Vineland business around for 35 years. (It
opened September 12, 1980.)
Despite that anniversary and Trovarelli
celebrating her 20th year with the business,
she says getting through the first year as a
business owner has been the biggest milestone for her so far.
It meant a lot to me that people put their
trust in me [with the store], Trovarelli says.
Everybody trusted me like they had with
Ginger and Orville.
Trovarelli already knows what her next
milestone will be at Sir Speedy.
I look forward to making it five years,
she says, and growing the business and getting into some new avenues. I look forward to
seeing how much we can grow.

Trovarelli has witnessed dynamic changes to

the Sir Speedy business model and has come
to appreciate and help develop its evolution
into the computer age.
Things are really turning around, says
Trovarelli. Were getting into some new
areas, such as signage and things like that.
Because the industry has changed, weve had
to change.
At one time, she recalls, all the receipts in
the shop had to be handwritten.
When we first started, we didnt even
have a computer system for the order taking,
says Trovarelli. Everything was handwritten.
Although she recalls the days when the
staff had to manually fold each page of one of
the many ad booklets Sir Speedy produces,
then put them in piles across a table, and
walk around that table collating and stapling,
Trovarelli says the business is 100-percent
digital today.
Now, you push a button and [the
machine] prints, collates, folds and puts it
together [for you]. Its really come a long
way, she says.
What does Trovarelli attribute to the
longevity of Vinelands Sir Speedy business?
Customer service, she says.

FIFTEEN YEARS AND COUNTING

Joes Butcher Shop, 711 Gershal Ave.,
Elmer, 856-690-5637.
Meanwhile, down Route 56 at Joes
Butcher Shop, things have stayed the same for
the traditional small-town business that will
mark 15 years this November. And thats one
of the reasons the shop is so special.
The other, says owner Joe Moro, is the
butcher shops loyal customers.
Moro opened the store when his previous
employer down the streetGoldsteins
Meatsclosed its doors.
When that place closed up, I decided to
open my own store, recalls Moro. And I
built this place; it was a vacant building.
Moro says he never expected the business
to expand as it has over the past 15 years.
I did not think it would turn out as large
as it did, he says. I thought maybe wed
have just a couple of employees. The business
has grown much more than Id ever imagined
and the customer base has been very loyal
and I still see some of the people in here that

I saw on day one when we opened.
On November 14, Moro is planning a customer appreciation day for the shops 15-year
anniversary.
There are very few stores around like this
anymore; old-time butcher shops, says Moro.
All the meat is fresh, we grind our own
meats here, and make our own sausages.
Everything is made here and is high quality.
COMING FULL CIRCLE ON LANDIS
L.A. Male, 1164 East Landis Ave.,
Vineland, 856-794-3000.
Larry Leonelli, the owner of L.A. Male, is
also keeping a tradition alive in the southern
New Jersey regionthe independent retailer.
L.A. Male has been in business for 21
years, but I had a previous store under a different name for 10 years, says Leonelli. That
was the first store; it was called Outriggers
and it was located in Absecon. That was after
about 10 years working here in Vineland for
other retailers.
As the Absecon area changed, Leonelli
decided to move his mens clothing and formal wear business back home to Vineland.
I was born and raised in Vineland and my
familys here, says Leonelli, so I thought Id
make it a little bit easier on themand me.
He opened his first L.A. Male location at
Lincoln and Landis avenues in 1994. About
five years later he moved the store to La
Salle and Karen streets, where he was in

business for 15 years.

This past Labor Day, however, after 14
months of renovations on a vacant building
on Landis Avenue, Leonelli made another
change, giving L.A. Male a new address and,
most importantly, a lot more exposure, he
says.
Located nearly across the street from the
previous incarnation of L.A. Male, the new
store is operated with the same strong work
ethic Leonelli has employed during his
decades in business.
[Its] long hard work, a lot of sacrifice,
long hard hours, says Leonelli.
Ive never done anything else, says
Leonelli, who has been working in retail,
specifically in mens clothing, since he was 15.
Its what I do. Some people go to college or
to grad school, but I just went to work. And I
consider this latest store my grad school
work; well spend the rest of our years here.
Leonelli estimates L.A. Male is one of only
a handful of independently owned mens
clothing retailers in all of southern New
Jersey. There arent that many of us left.
Along with believing (and rightfully so)
that his loyal customers would follow him to
the new location, and that L.A. Male would
have a bigger presence being on Landis
Avenue, Leonelli says that the renovation of a
vacant building in downtown Vineland was
also to show people that it could be done.
Leonelli says the opening of the new store
is the biggest milestone of his career.
I started my career on Landis Avenue
back in 1974 and I get to finish it up on Landis
Avenue, he says. Ill finish where I started
and that was my goalto show that I could
come back into the community and make
something like this happen and I did it. I
100 YEARS OR MORE

BARRETTA PLUMBING, HEATING &
COOLING, 1784 Pine Ave, Vineland,
856-691-1950, first opened their doors in
1896, when John C. Barretta saw an opportunity to cash in on a young Vinelands rapid
growth. By the 1920s, the staff had grown from
three employees to 20. After the Great
Depression, however, the business was scaled
down quite a bit. Through the 50s and 60s,
there were only a few employees. With the
70s, came a new focus on heating and air-conditioning. The high mark for employment
came in 2007, when Barretta reached 30
employees for the first time.
The business has always been familyowned and operated, as the fourth generation
of the Barretta family guides it into the 21st
century. Over the years the business has had to
adapt. During the early years, there was a
hardware store division of the company. When
air-conditioning was invented, the business
began offering that service. With the recent
slow down in construction projects, Barretta
has adapted by focusing more on residential
and commercial service and installations.

Theyve also tried to keep up with the

ever-changing technological landscape. In
1998, the entire office was computerized and
employee cell phones were added. In recent
years, the company has instituted new policies
that focus on environmental friendliness within much more efficient and technical heating
and cooling equipment.
Barrettas longevity and success can be
attributed to a combination of hard work and a
commitment to family and customers. They
have seen signs of improvement in the economy in the past year. Sales and available projects
to bid on have increased. There seems to be
less apprehension on the part of consumers to
spend on improving the quality of their
mechanical systems. The availability of inexpensive natural gas has led to an increase in

CENTURY SAVINGS BANK, 1005 E.

Landis Ave., Vineland, 856-691-9600.
Five additional locations in county.
The year 2015 marks Century Savings
Banks 150th Anniversary and the Bank continues to observe their sesquicentennial with a
yearlong celebration. Throughout the year,
Century Savings Banks celebratory plans have
included: an interactive multimedia campaign
featuring local customers and community
partners, an expansion of their centurysb.com
website to memorialize the history of the Bank
and the communities it serves, and culmination of the 150 Days of Giving initiative.
The innovative 150 Days of Giving initiative, commenced on the Banks anniversary
date of June 9, and consisted of a series of
events, giveaways, and random acts of kindness compliments of the Bank.
Deborah Holman, Centurys Vice President
of Marketing explained, Century Savings
Bank has always considered our customers to
be one of our greatest assets. We feel extremely fortunate to have built such lasting relationships with not only them, but their families as
well. We attribute much of our success to
these relationships, and this initiative has been
a way of expressing our thanks. During the
past few months, Century Savings Bank
employees have been unexpectedly popping
up all over the Cumberland, Gloucester, and
Salem County area carrying out an assortment
of Day-Bettering Deeds.
This ambitious undertaking illustrates the
Banks never-ending dedication to the people
of South Jersey. Century was founded for the
purpose of bettering this community when in
1865 a group of Bridgeton businessmen recognized the need for a bank to help manage the
economic growth in the region.
Originally known as the Bridgeton Building
and Loan Association, the Bank emerged during a time of unrest in the country. President
Abraham Lincoln had just been assassinated;
the Civil War was coming to an end, and the
country had just suffered through numerous
battles. As reconstruction began, Century
Savings Bank was there to provide sound
financial advice and a fresh start for many in
the area. Generating prosperity and homeownership throughout the town, the bank has been
credited with helping to make Bridgeton a
city of homes.
What started out as a small building and
loan association with $2,096.50 in total assets
has since grown into a $438 million financial
force servicing individuals and businesses
from its network of six strategically located
branches in Elmer, Gibbstown, Mullica Hill,
Upper Deerfield Township, and Vineland.
Never straying from its roots, Century
Savings Bank now offers South Jersey residents the best of both worldsthe combination of friendly, good old fashioned service,
traditional consumer banking products such

as: checking, savings and personal loans, a
complete line of commercial banking and
lending services, and local decision-making; as
well as the latest in todays convenient banking
technology, such as: mobile banking, online bill
pay, and a full suite of cash management tools
and services.
Centurys unwavering, yet forward-thinking commitment to provide more is something
that has set them apart and allowed them to
become one of Americas oldest banks.

THE VINELAND HISTORICAL AND

ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY, 108 S. Seventh
St., Vineland, 856-691-1111, founded in
1864, is the oldest local historical society in
New Jersey, headquartered in the oldest purpose-built museum in the state. The Society
was started by a group of local citizens, including town founder Charles K. Landis, who were
interested in preserving Vinelands past.
Originally, the Society was an all-volunteer
organization. Today, one full-time staffer is
employed. In recent years, the Society has
focused on community outreach and established a working relationship with local organizations, including the Chamber of Commerce,
the VDID, and the Vineland Board of Education.
One of the significant goals is to raise commu-
nity awareness of Vinelands rich past.

While the goals of the Societyto collect,
preserve and share the collectionshave
essentially remained unchanged, they have
established new policies and procedures and a
strategic plan to help guide us into the future.
Computers are an asset with regard to recordkeeping. Scanning allows us to protect original
documents and still be able to share copies of
them with researchers and visitors.
In 2011, the Society hired its first museum
professional to serve as curator. In 2013, the
Society received its first grant from the New
Jersey Historical Commission, which allowed
improvements with regard to storage conditions for our records and artifacts.

MAINIERO'S APPLIANCE & TV, 1888 S

Delsea Dr, Vineland, 856-692-7900, has
more than 400 name-brand appliances and
TVs in stock and ready for customer pick-up
or professional next-day delivery and installation.
Mainieros Parts & Service Department:
Parts and accessories for every brand appliance made, and Mainieros experts can help
with do-it-yourself parts and repair advice.
Mainieros Vacuum Shop: More than 30 different household, commercial, and central vacuums on display, and parts, bags, filters, accessories and repairs for every brand vacuum.
Mainieros Jewelry & Watch Department:
Jewelry, watches, and clocks. Watch bands
and batteries are installed while you wait.
The business was founded in 1908 by
Biagio Mainiero, originally a barber, during
the early growth of Vineland. There have
been several expansions of the business, each
one adding more products, display and warehouse space. The present 13,800-square-foot
store showcases hundreds of appliances, TVs
and vacuums and stores tens of thousands of
appliance and vacuum parts.
Mainieros has been a family-owned and
operated business for four generations and
this, along with several valuable long term
employees, has been a key part of the familys
success story. Keeping a finger on the pulse of
daily activities and personal contact with customers is what keeps things running smoothly.
Some things never change no matter how
long a business has been aroundlike offering a mix of products and services that customers need and being accessible, knowledgeable and responsive to any situation that
may occur. When you call Mainieros somebody will always answer the phone.
From its humble barbershop beginning,
the business now employs 12. Product additions began with razors, jewelry, small electrical appliances when they became available
and, eventually, larger household appliances
and TVs. And with the increased product
offerings came several moves to larger stores.
Imagine the changes a 107-year-old business has experienced. Biagio Mainiero traveled by horse and buggy to visit his customers when he first started out and appliances were delivered by train direct from the
factories to Mainieros downtown Vineland
store. Electrical appliances were cutting-edge
products back then. Inventories and customer payments were written on cards or
logged in books. All ordering and correspondence was by mail or phone. And the downtown area was the only place to shop in
Vineland.
The major turning point for Mainieros
came about 50 years ago after moving to 201
Landis Avenue and then expanding that store
to quadruple its size.
For 2016 Mainieros will continue to offer
the best values in all product categories and
help savvy shoppers choose the best products
at the lowest possible price. And Mainieros
still does what the big stores cant do by providing outstanding product knowledge, personal service and the best values in South
Jersey. Four generations of Mainiero's customers can't be wrong!

GREATER VINELAND CHAMBER OF

COMMERCE, 2115 S Delsea Dr, Vineland,
856-691-7400, established in 1919a whopping 96 years agois in the business of business and from the very start, has always put
its members first. A 1920 article issued by the
then newly formed Chamber of Commerce
referred to every member as a brick in the
structure of Vineland.
According to Dawn Hunter, executive
director of the GVCC, the same is true today.
The Chamber is focused on helping businesses grow, which is where our motto Come
Grow with Us came from, she said. We do
it by giving our members a voice, keeping
them informed of important legislation, offering training and networking, promoting their
successes, and providing access to unlimited
information. Theres no other organization
like this in our community.
Hunter explained that the GVCC has a
strategic plan that is formally reviewed every
five years. Based on its last review, weve
focused on helping companies reinvent themselves by encouraging them to take advantage
of things like the networking opportunities
we offer, said Hunter. Its all about relationships, as people want to do business with
people they know and trust.
Of its 500 members, 70 percent are small
businesses. In November, the GVCC will kick
off a month-long promotion in support of the
areas small businesses. Weve decided to
expand upon the nationally celebrated Small
Business Saturday to include an entire month
of special promotions and activities, said
Hunter. You can find out more about whats
planned, as well as how to join the Chamber
at: www.vinelandchamber.org.
The 1920 article referenced above ends
with the following: It means something to
Vineland to possess a live Chamber of
Commerce. They were right on the
moneythen and now.
MEMBERS 1ST OF NJ FEDERAL CREDIT

UNION, 37 W Landis Ave, 856-696-0767,
is a financial cooperative owned by the members and governed by a volunteer board. The
credit union was formed in 1938 with only
seven original members as the Cumberland
Teachers Federal Credit Union with a combined deposit of just $36. The first loan issued
in 1938 was for $100. The credit union was
managed by the chairman of the board who
ran the business out of his pockets, the left
pocket for loans and the right for deposits.
The credit union was run only by volunteers and did not have an employee until 1985.
Members 1st currently has 20 employees and
three locations.
In 1963, the credit union graduated to modern office equipment, but the office was still
run out of a directors home. In 1985, the credit
union purchased its first property on Delsea
Drive and the name was changed to CUMCO
Federal Credit Union. The credit union continued to grow and in 2000 moved to its current
location on Landis Avenue. In 2009, the Salem
County School Employees Federal Credit
Union merged into CUMCO FCU. The Landis
Avenue office was renovated and the credit
union name was changed to Members 1st of
NJ FCU to better reflect the entire field of
membership. Members 1st now has offices in
Vineland, Bridgeton and Woodstown.
The credit union is still a member-owned
financial institution. Over the years, it has
changed from a small plain vanilla credit
union run strictly by volunteers, offering just
savings accounts and loans to a full-service
financial institution with three branch locations. Members 1st is also a part of the Credit
Union Shared Branch Network, which gives
members the opportunity to conduct their
financial transactions in over 5,000 locations
across the country.
To be competitive and give members the
services that they demand, the Board of
Directors has always been proactive when
investing in products and services as well as
technology.
As a member-owned financial cooperative,
their philosophy is People Helping People.
They are committed to providing good service
at a fair price.
Since 1938, the goal of the credit union has
remained the same, which is to deliver quality
services to members at the lowest possible
cost. Members 1st is dedicated to helping all
members and especially members struggling
through hard times. During this economic
downturn, they recognized the need to develop products to help members with access to
funds without charging them excessive fees
and triple digit interest rates. They have implemented products such as short-term loans and
pay-day alternative loans so members can get
the funds they need quickly. They also offer
financial counseling and credit rebuilder loans
that have a savings component tied to them so
members can start building a strong financial
future.

This year marks the 83rd anniversary of the

founding of Vinelands iconic Rone Funeral
Service by C. Calvin and Mary B. Rone in
1932. The essence of a family business was
established at the outset. Today, third-generation members of the Rone and Geraci families
continue at the helm, with Lori RoneMcLaughlin, daughter of Victor Rone, as
office manager.
The business remains devoted to the same
high standards stipulated by Calvin Rone
upon Rone Funeral Services 25th anniversary
in 1957: We realize that the confidence of a
community is a sacred trust, and creates a
solemn responsibility. Throughout our years
of service, the Rone Funeral Service has
earned a reputation for sincerity, understanding and dignity of purpose with thousands of
families. The Rone Funeral Service recognizes its responsibility to the community,
and, through the competent experience of
our licensed morticians, will always endeavor
to merit the reputation we have earned.
Faustina Rone-Geraci joined the business
soon after graduating high school, becoming
one of the youngest women ever licensed in
New Jersey in 1940. She passed away two
years ago. Her brother, C. Victor Rone,
worked tirelessly in the business and
throughout the community until his sudden
and untimely death at age 52. In 1955,
Faustinas husband, James A. Geraci, affectionately remembered as Big Jim, brought
his own personal touch, comforting ways,
and quiet professional demeanor to the business. Big Jim passed away in 2007.
Current funeral director/owner James C.
Geraci says, We have always been guided by
our grandfathers wisdom, compassion, and
professional standards.

1967, Charles Berman worked and sold product lines including plumbing, heating, electrical, appliances, cabinets, and even automotive
supplies. It was in 1967 that their son, Larry,
then 13, began his career. Between 1967 and
1973, Larry worked every day after school and
on weekends, handling sales, purchasing, and
stocking shelves. When Larry graduated from
Vineland High in 1973, he was ready to operate Ace on a full-time basis. What happened
after that is a classic American success story,
built on a foundation of hard work and determination.

DONDERO DIAMONDS AND FINE JEW-
ELRY, 2439 N Delsea Dr, Vineland, 856691-1164, is a full-service fine jewelry store
offering the finest jewelry, jewelry service
and shopping experience in southern New
Jersey. Founded by Charles Dondero in 1948,
following the end of World War II, many
business opportunities became available in
the Vineland area. There was a new need for
goods and services. The hard work, dedication and perseverance of what has become
known as the Greatest Generation paved
the way for expansion of commerce in towns
and cities across America. It was that climate
that nurtured the entrepreneurial spirit in
men like Charlie.
In 1959, the business moved to 848 Arbor
Avenue under the ownership of F.C. Bud
Dondero and was run as a part time business

by him, his wife Betty and his brother-in-law
Bennie Bruun. In 1979, Buds son Ken purchased the business from his father. In 1982,
Kens wife Julie joined the company and his
sister Mary came on board in 1984. In 1986,
Kens long time friend and brother-in-law
joined the firm and in 1988 Ken and Kevin
became partners in the business. In 1991, the
store moved to its current location at 2439 N.
Delsea Drive and has continued to grow and
expand since that time. That includes three
generations involved in this family business
that today employs 16.
As it was in 1948, Donderos mission is to
provide every customer with a predictable,
reliable and value-based experience every time
they come into the store. This experience will
be the same for a customerno matter what
the transaction. No job or sale is too big or
small. The business has changed and evolved
in the areas of customer service, inventory
selection and location evolution. The jewelry
repair shop is equipped with the latest tools
and equipment to support their certified jewelry technician. Computer programs are the
most up to date, allowing them to track customer histories and data to support their
needs. They have a very dynamic website and
Facebook page.
There has been no specific turning point,
just consistent, well-planned growth based
solely on the needs of customers, made successful based on their ability to respond to
those needs.

There are no secrets to operating a successful business, as all the business people in this
edition of The Grapevine will attest to. It takes
a commitment to a mission consistent with the
needs of the community you do business in
hard work and the fortitude to take well
thought-out and calculated risks to adapt to
those needs as they evolve.
Over the past few years there have been
either thousands of experts on the economy
or no one who knows whats going on
depending on how you view it. The point is
that business owners, big and small are the
ones who know whats best for their business
and how their particular customer base will
exhibit their changing needs. Since none of us
have shown the ability to predict economic
events that take place in the future, how we
react to them and find the opportunities in any
economic environment will come to define
our future success.
THE ELLISON SCHOOL, 1017 S. Spring
Rd., Vineland, 856-691-1734. The Vineland
Elementary School opened its doors in 1959 in
a small building on the corner of Grape Street
and East Avenue with seven students in grades
one through three. While the size of the student body was small, the dreams of the founding families were big. Their goal was to offer
an innovative program that promoted individualized instruction in a nurturing environment
blind to economic and social lines. The school
was welcomed by the community and the student body almost tripled in its second year

with the addition of a fourth grade. At this

time, the tiny school also underwent a name
change to honor the generous support of its
first benefactor, Mr. George M. Ellison.
By the 1964-1965 school year, the 47 students enrolled in grades kindergarten through
six had exceeded the capacity of the modest
Grape Street building and the school was
moved to 740 Wood Street. The teaching
methods in use at the school had earned
national recognition with educators from
across the country visiting to observe classroom instruction.
In December of 1968, The Ellison Private
Elementary School moved to its present two
and a half acre site at 1017 South Spring Road.
An addition housing two new classrooms and
an office area was completed in 1978 and a
further addition of four new classrooms plus a
large multi-purpose room was finished in the
summer of 1981. Seventh and eighth grades
were added in the 1983-1984 school year and
preschool and nursery classes were added
shortly after. The school was further expanded in 1991 with the addition of three upper
school classrooms, a gym, and kitchen facilities. The Ellison School was re-accredited by
the New Jersey Association of Independent
Schools in 2012.
The Ellison Schools program rests on three
mutually supportive pillarsknow yourself,
question everything, and seek the truth. We
encourage students to challenge themselves,
instilling the confidence to take intellectual
risks, to test conventions, and to affect change.
The Ellison faculty and curricula focus heavily
on developing a set of skills and attitudes that

will render Ellison graduates adaptable and
capable of overcoming any obstacle. Along
with a rigorous academic program, Ellison students witness, internalize, and master lifetime
aptitudes. Much will change, but the ability to
communicate clearly, to cooperate effectively,
to think critically, and to find pleasure in
learning will never become outdated.
New this year: Ellison is also constantly
evolving to offer cutting edge programming for
its Toddler to Grade 8 learners. Just this year,
the school:
Created a new iPad lab where students
investigate multidisciplinary topics;
Expanded its music program to include
instrumental music and individual lessons;
Offers year-long STEM challenges;
Designed a research based character education program with monthly all-school celebrations and content based assemblies;
Has broken ground on an organic garden
with a focus on environmental studies;
Afterschool clubs, including the Rotary
sponsored Interact Club
Additionally, the newly released Ellison
Advantage Seminars are open to the public. In
the first months of school, they have offered
after school dance classes, a Build Your Own
Scarecrow event, field hockey camp and a preengineering construction class.
Children attending Ellisons Early Learning
Center for Toddlers to Preschool 4 also partake in all of these aforementioned opportunities and have weekly specialized instruction in
Spanish, art, vocal music, instrumental music,
library, and technology.

The school has recently extended its hours
of operation, which includes Before and After
Care from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The calendar also
offers childcare during holiday breaks. The
calendar has gone full-year with the Ellison
Explorer Summer Camp being run through
the months of June, July and August. Last
years camp reached maximum attendance and
pre-registration will begin in January.
ST. MARY SCHOOL, 735 Union Rd,
Vineland, 856-692-8537, is a premier
Catholic elementary school that has been serving the Cumberland, Atlantic and Gloucester
County communities for over 55 years. In
September 1959, St. Mary School first opened
with only two classes, kindergarten and first
grade. The school grew each year by one classroom until 1968. In 1963, the all-purpose cafeteria and hall was added; in 1966, the South
Wing was added; in 1981 an 8th grade classroom and science lab were added and, in 1995
a Music Room and Pre-K room were added. In
2009 a gym, cafeteria and stage was added and
the existing all-purpose cafeteria was renovated into a Library/Media Center, an Art Room,
Music Room and Pre K classrooms.
Fr. John Positano, OSA, Fr. Angelo
Allegrini, The Daughters of Mercy, The
Bertonazzi and Quinn families and many other
St. Mary Church parishioners worked together
to build this Catholic elementary school in the
farming community of East Vineland. The
school was built by the parishioners of the
community who believed passionately about

having a Catholic elementary school in their
farming community. Generations of local families continue to enroll. It is not uncommon to
see grandparents and parents who have
attended here now having their grandchildren
sitting in the very same classrooms as they did
as children.
At the outset, very few staffers were needed, but staff was added as classes were, and
today the staff numbers 40.
St. Mary School is among a growing number of Catholic schools that have added an
Advancement Director position that focuses
on enrollment and development. A mission
statement and logo was created and now all
marketing and programming is mission-centered. The family approach, smart planning,
transparency and data management has
allowed St. Mary School to grow enrollment to
300 students and the development of missionbased fundraising has allowed St. Mary School
to raise over $650,000 through the Annual
Fund and PTA functions in the past four years
alone. These funds have offset all student
tuitions, funded the 1:1 Digital Initiative, the
purchase of iPads and laptops, facility
improvements and upgrades, professional
development and provides tuition assistance to
families that qualify.
St. Mary School continues to be a leader
among area elementary schools and is committed to teaching students to be prepared for the
21st century. Through the years the school has
grown and adapted to curriculum changes that

most recently an outdoor garden complete
with irrigation that supports STEM education.
St. Mary School continues to evolve both
inside and outside the traditional classroom
programs that meet the needs of todays students. Curriculum is regularly updated and in
light of the new Common Core Standards, St.
Mary School has taken the best of the
Common Core to develop math and language
arts curriculums along with a new science curriculum based on Next Generation Science
Standards. Extra-curricular programs meet a
variety of interests and include a drama
department, school choir, school band,
National Junior Honor Society, Student
Council, basketball, volleyball, cross country,
Homework Club, Library Club, Chess Club &
Yearbook Club to name a few.
St. Mary School administration, school
board, faculty and staff re-evaluate progress
and procedures to determine what updates
and changes need to be implemented in order
to stay at the forefront of innovations in education. For example, St. Mary School is one of
only a handful of schools that have a full-time
Media Integrationist on staff and has a technology committee comprised of faculty,
administration and parents that review the
effectiveness of our technology implementation. So as computers, Smartboards and lap
tops evolve so does St. Marys technology.
Students are now equipped with personal
Chromebooks that have replaced textbooks, all
subjects include an on-line component, students utilize iPads and web-based programming and faculty have integrated technology
into all core curriculum subjects.
St. Mary School has recently been regionalized to include the St. Padre Pio Parish in
Vineland, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament
Parish in Newfield and The Parish of All Saints
in Millville. The regionalization has allowed
St. Mary School to provide Catholic education
to more students within the Cumberland,
Atlantic and Gloucester county areas.

The schools longevity can be attributed to
strong Catholic identity, rigorous academics,
family tradition, an ever-growing community
base and strong leadership have allowed us to
be nimble in the face of change and has kept St.
Mary School as a leader in Catholic education.
In reaction to the current economic climate, St.
Mary School offers even more tuition assistance and financial aid to families who qualify.
UP TO 50 YEARS
ALS SHOES, 639 E Landis Ave, Vineland,
856-691-1180, is a family retail shoe store
that opened in 1979, when there was lots of
traffic flow and competition on Landis Avenue.
Five employees comprised the staff, as five
comprise the staff today. Markers of growth
were in product lines addedSAS Wolverine,
Clarks, Timberland and StrideRite, all of which
attract customers to the store. The business is
family-owned, as current owner Brian Lankins
grandfather Max Lankin Shoe Store opened in
the 1950s. Second-generation Al, Maxs son and
Brians dad, started working at the store in
Vineland in 1961. Brian started working there
in 1986. Through the years, the store has
focused on customer service, offering all
widths and measuring the foot. Theres been
less traffic flow with more customers coming
in for service and brands. Adaptations include
the website alsshoesnj.com. With the closings
of two other shoe stores in the last decade, Als
has picked up some brands and customers. Als
prides itself in being the only independent shoe
store in Cumberland County.
AMERICAN FIREPLACE, 2535 S. Delsea
Dr., Vineland, 856-457-5689, offers sales
and service of gas and woodburning fireplaces
in the surrounding community. In 2005,
Cindy and Bob Marks started the business as
their son was being deployed to the Middle
East. That years business was the best the
owners had ever seen. At that time, they
employed four people, two in service and as
installers and two sales personnel. Ten years
later, the number of employees remains the
same, but services added include chimney
sweeping and inspections.
The Marks started the family business hoping that their children would want to follow in
their footsteps. (No pressure, kids!) The business has grown with the same caring attitude
and over the years, the customers have
blessed us with continued patronage and have
also passed our name along to others.
A turning point came almost right away in
2005 when they decided to add chimney
sweeping and studied to obtain their credentials of CSIA #6775, and later on certified
Master Chimney Technician #043. They now
offer sweep-inspection with video, which
allows them to provide a safer home environment. The business secret to success is our
sharing of 20-plus years of knowledge and
treating our customers the way we want to be
treated, with respect and kindness. This past
year, our business has shown a turn for the
better along with the economy. Fireplace
stores are hard to find and we are here to stay.

APPLIANCES PLUS VIDEO, 2155 S.

Delsea Dr., Vineland, 856-692-1544.
Lifelong friends Richard Curcio and
Salvatore Venuto can easily measure their 32
successful years as co-owners of Appliances
Plus Video in Vineland. They opened their
original 4,000-square-foot store in October
1983. Sales growth motivated them to relocate
to their current 14,200-square-foot facility on
Delsea Drive in May 2003. Curcio and Venuto
had one other full-time employee in 1983 and
sold four major appliance and two television
brands. Today, 10 full-time staff members sell
more than 50 brands within a 75-mile radius of
the store. Kitchen and laundry room appliances currently dominate their product lines.
ARTISTIC TOUCH BEADS, 501 N. High

St., Millville 856-500-1630, opened
inDecember 2014, offering Toho, CzechMates,
SuperDuos, Swarovski and beads made by
local artists. But the story started quite a bit
earlier, when owner Kim Conners sister gave
her a beaded bookmark. I thought thats gorgeous! I want to make one. I was off and running. Before long another sister and I were
cranking out hundreds of bookmarks for charity and talking about opening a bead shop. In
2013 Conner started selling a modest selection
of beads and teaching beading classes from her
massage therapy office. The response was
encouraging, so after some research, it was
time to open my store.
Customers have enthusiastically welcomed the store, which sells tools and findings like clasps and eyepins as well as beads
and wire. Classes for adults and children are
at beginner and intermediate levels. Artistic
Touch Beads opened with just one employee,
and quickly added instructors to meet
demand for the classes, offered one to three
times a week. A free bead group meets
monthly and new and experienced beaders
are encouraged to attend and work on unfinished projects or start a new one.
Conner would like to expand to a larger
location in three to five years, but the Village
on High is a fantastic place for my store. The
charming cottages and gardens, unique shops,
and creative atmosphere wow the customers
before they even walk in the store. The store
is working with the Riverfront Rennaissance
Center for the Arts to offer a Bling Bar,
where you are guided to make your own jewelry in a group in a fun, relaxed social setting
where you are welcome to BYOB. Doing onsite jewelry makes it easier to stay in a smaller store and keep overhead down. Artistic
Touch Beads will be having a monthlong one-

ANYTIME FITNESS, 1601 N High St,

Millville, 856-765-5196, is a 24-hour fullservice, co-ed health club with locations in
Millville, Vineland, and Bridgeton. The
Millville club opened in 2010, Vineland
opened in 2012 and Bridgeton opened in 2014.
All three clubs were opened by Michael Sharp
and were all instant successes right from the
start. Each club employs one manager and
approximately five trainers. A Deptford location is slated to open in Winter 2016.
Membership numbers continue to grow in all
three locations.
My father, Frank Sharp Sr., was instrumental in getting the first location off the
ground, said Michael Sharp. The business
model stays the same along with the same
great service. We are always adding new fitness classes and updated equipment.
Our check in software has to get updated to
keep up with the numbers of members, and we
will soon be switching to iPads for agreement
entries.
The Millville location was a phenomenal
start, but when the Vineland location opened
and took off so fast, it just enabled the growth
plan to go to the next stage very quickly.
Sharps secret to success is attributed to all
my years in the business, especially eight years
as VIP of LA Fitness, being able to recognize
early those times when change is needed.
Despite the economic climate, the fitness
industry will continue to thrive, Sharp
believes. The need to take care of your body is
always going to be there, he said.
Appliances Plus Video has an inventory to

fit every budget, from standard brands like GE
and Whirlpool to elite brands like Sub-Zero,
Wolf , Viking, and Miele. The store has joined
with numerous prominent coastal builders to
supply top-of-the-line appliance packages to
luxury homes selling for more than $1 million.
As for televisions, more customers are
demanding larger models. The company focuses on televisions for the primary viewing area
and offers Home Theater installation.
We offer more brands under one roof than
any competitor in the area. Our status as an
Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) business saves
customers 3.5 percent in sales tax. That adds
up when purchasing an appliance package,
according to Venuto.
As technology improves and trends shift, all
Appliances Plus Video sales personnel receive
mandatory training on new products. The
stores comprehensive website further explains
financing, special promotions and other details
about specific brands and products. Venuto
states, We remain current on the latest styles.
High-efficiency appliances like front and top
loading washers, plus French door refrigerators, are popular. Our customers are the greatest and they come from all walks of life.

BODY BENEFITS PILATES STUDIO, 3722

E. Landis Ave., Vineland, 856-213-6365, is
a fully equipped Pilates Studio specializing in
Private/Duet sessions and small group classes
(10 or less). It was founded in 2006 by Anita
Cavalier, with just one person employed at the
outset. Today, six employees work there. Other
markers of growth: In 2008 I moved my business from a private gym where I taught Pilates
mat classes and sculpting classes three days a
week to The Lincoln Plaza unit H where I
shared the suite with Yis Karate. I now had
the space to offer private and duet sessions on
the Pilates apparatus along with small group
Pilates and sculpting classes. In 2009 I added
Pilates Springboard classes (four students per
class). I truly care about my students and their
well being. I offer quality Pilates and movement classes to help people maintain or build
strength and flexibility and to live a more pain
free life. I continue with my education so that
I may offer the best programs. My clients are
my best advertisement, and many of them have
been practicing with me since 2006.
Body Benefits has continued to grow. Since
they are the only Pilates studio within 30
miles that offers apparatus work they often
have a wait list for clients to schedule a private session. The clients that take private or
duet sessions have standing weekly appointments, and dont give them up except for
vacations or illness.
BUTCHS GUN WORLD, 1025 W. Landis

Ave., Vineland, 856-692-1010, is a retail
firearms, ammunition, and hunting supply
store. The business was started in 1982, when
business loans were at 14 percent interest.
They started with just one employee and have
since added five more. As the inventory
increased, so did business, along with spikes in
business as new firearms laws were added.
Through the years, the store always had an
increase in business until the current recession, which the owner is hoping has bottomed
out and an upturn is soon to come. The store
has added computers for ordering and referencing products, plus they now do some sell-
ing on the Internet.

In 1997, owner Vincent Sacco hired a manager, Anthony Pino Jr., and together they were
able to expand the business. Anthony just
passed away. Secrets to longevity and success
are hard work and long hours. My motto is I
try to treat my customers the way I want to be
treated, Sacco says. This area is hard hit by
the loss of the casinos. Many families depended on that business. You have to work harder
now to make less.

enjoy the Chefs Choice Speciala fourcourse meal for just $9.99.
Tina Brunetti, who founded the business with her husband, Roberto said that
their menu is inspired by the foods they
enjoyed while growing up in their hometown of Puglia. We are at the heel of the
boot, she said. When asked about her son
running the business she said, You cant
take him away from it because its in his
blood.
That certainly seems to be the case.
ark Twain once said, The two

most important days in your life
are the day you are born and
the day you find out why. For Saverio
Brunetti, that day came while he was in
collegewhen he realized he missed his
family and being part of Dominicks
Pizzathe business his parents had
worked so hard to build.
After graduating from Florida Atlantic
University, and three months of study in
Italy, Brunetti got back to businessand
life couldnt be better. Today, Brunetti
owns and operates Dominicks Pizza, a
thriving Italian restaurant thats beloved
by all who walk through its doors.
Brunetti says he wants people to feel like
they are coming in for a meal in his parents kitchen. Everything is authentic
Italian and homemade, he said. My
father still comes in every day to prep and
make his original, secret pizza sauce.
There must be something special in
that sauce, because Dominicks is selling a
lot of it. Originally opened in 1985,
Dominicks is 30 this year and in the
prime of its life. And, while pizza is part
of its name, the restaurant features so
much more. At Dominicks you can take
out, eat in and BYOB. Whatever your
heart desires, they provide. The restaurant also offers a full catering service, with
menus custom made for each occasion.
A favorite during lunchtime is
Dominicks gourmet pizza. A variety of
slices selected from its menu of 21 different types of gourmet pizzas fills the
counter, just waiting to be devoured by
the lunch crowd it serves each day. If you
dont feel like pizza, you can choose from
the hundreds of other menu items available, including homemade soups, salads,
specialty pastas, sandwiches, burgers,
wraps, and more.
The restaurant recently completed a
full renovation of its dining room. We did
it ourselves and our customers really like
it, said Brunetti. We offer specials each
night and customers are welcome to bring
along a bottle of wine, beer, or whatever
they like. We put it on ice and have it
ready to enjoy with their meal. Speaking
of meals, two of its most popular are mussels marinara and homemade lasagna. On
Saturday nights, people can dine in and

to assure a zero wait time and avoid delays in

With the addition of their testing center,
Fast Track is able to provide individual drug
and alcohol testing and collection only services for Third Party Administrators (TPA),
Electronic Custody and Control Form
Collections (eCCF), Instant/Point of Care

drug testing and DNA/Paternity Collection
services.
Accuracy is vital in the drug testing industry and Fast Tracks foundation is built on
integrity and precision. These building blocks
along with the desire to provide exceptional
customer service is what drives Fast Tracks
continued success.
The growing legalization of medical and
recreational marijuana will continue to create
the need for workplace drug testing. Preemployment drug testing is important in keeping drug users from being hired but deterring
current employees from using drugs is just as
vital. Implementing random drug testing can
help employers identify employees who are
abusing drugs as well as discourage employee
drug use. Drug testing can help employers protect their organization from the adverse
impacts of drug abuse and promote productivity, health and safety. With this in mind, an
employers first line of defense is to implement
and follow through with a Drug Free
Workplace Program.
Fast Tracks clients benefit from several of
Fee Free services, such as Annual Random
Drug Testing Program Management, as a costeffective way to maintain a Drug Free
Workplace. Fast Track wants to put your business on the Right Track.

JOHNSONS TRUCK AND AUTO REPAIR,
247 Harding Hwy., Vineland, 609-7045647, is a full service truck and auto repair
facility specializing in diesel medium to heavy
duty trucks. The business was opened in 2010
by the owners Jimmy and Theresa Johnson.
Business was slow, GM was just doing their
mandatory upgrades at dealerships and closing
up shops that couldnt comply. The economy
was tight and the country was just coming out
of the recession. At that time, just two people
were employed. Jimmy was the technician and
Theresa did all clerical and customer service.
Today, the staff has grown to seven.
The business has outgrown the original
shop in Folsom and relocated to their new
facility on Harding Highway in October 2013.
Also, the business has grown to specialize in
diesel and RV repair as well as automobiles.
Johnsons is family owned and operated
with the parents starting it, their 27-year-old
daughter Jessica as service advisor, 17-yearold son Anthony as the shop clean up guy as
well as in training to become a general service
mechanic and their 7-year-old grandson Gavin
already picking out the bay he is going to
work in.
At Johnsons, the owners still believe in the
same basic values as when they started, and
customer service is their priority. They pride
themselves in servicing vehicles but are more
proud of their relationship with their customers. They realize that customers are more
knowledgeable about their vehicles today, so
educating and informing is a huge part of what
they provide to the customer.
Adaptations they have made in this, the
technology erawe have changed to adapt to
the needs of our technology-savvy customers
include upgrading the shop to paperless and
wireless programs. Customers receive clean,
clear and detailed estimates, invoices and courtesy checks via their e-mail, cell phone or
printed. These include pricing, detailed
description of work and photos showing any
issues or concerns that are noticed. They just
added a huge 46-inch monitor to the waiting
area so they can go over vehicle recommendations and repairs with customers.
A major turning point occurred in 2013
when they moved from a small three-bay shop
to their large six-bay shop and hired three
more people.
Any secrets to success that you can share:
We are smart enough to know that we dont
know enough. We are proud alumni members
of ATI and with their guidance we have been
able to run our shop efficiently, have first crack
at the latest technology for our industry and be
accountable to providing excellent customer
service at a fair price.
The economy appears to slowly be turning
around. With the loss of full motor vehicle
inspections ,vehicle services seem to be on the
back burner for a lot of people, which has
increased the amount of repairs we see. We
truly hope to see it turn around to more services and less high-cost repairs. With the economy starting to look up, we hope to see the trend
change.

for the Petrinis for more than 34 years before
he became an owner.
They invest in all new lines as they arrive
and are proud to announce that they have
added a line of carpet called Karastan to their
showroom. It is one of the most recognized
premier names in the carpet industry. Other
markers of growth include a new and updated
website: richlandcarpetandflooring.com. They
also have a Facebook page, which is under
Richland Carpet and Flooring.
As a family owned business, there have
been three generations involved through the
years. They are always trying to invest to better serve the clientele. They invest in all the
new lines as they arrive, such as Dreamweaver
carpet and rugs. Since the Brunozzis took over,
they have seen increases every year, and 2015
is the best year yet. As they continue to grow
the business, one thing they stress is service.
The owners plan to continue to grow the business and to offer customers all the new lines as
they arrive.

THE ANIMAL CLINIC OF BUENA, 3530

Oak Rd, Vineland, 856-213-6340, is an outpatient facility providing veterinary care for
dogs and cats. The business was started in
January 2014 as a satellite clinic for The

The practice started with one veterinarian and
three support staff. It has grown to include

MILESTONES
CELEBRATING THE
OF LONG-TIME
AREA BUSINESSES
boast of an exceptionally caring staff, with
many clients referring family, friends, and
neighbors. Pet care will continue to be a valued service, and The Animal Clinic of Buena
hopes to grow and mature to meet the needs of
the community.
THE ANIMAL CLINIC OF MILLVILLE, 2430

W Main St, Millville, 856-825-8935, is
driven to provide quality verterinary service
and products to our animal friends. Dr.
Kevin Ludwig purchased the small part-time
practice from Dr. Robert Goldsboro in 1995.
The last 20 years have seen tremendous
growth in the practice. Dr. Goldsboro worked
by himself; Dr. Ludwig hired two employees
and the practice grew from there. Currently,
there are four full-time and two part-time veterinarians, plus 22 support staff. The original
facility was a 1,200-square-foot clinic attached
to Dr. Ludwigs house. In 2002, a new 5,000square-foot facility was built across the street
in West Millville. This year, an additional
2,000-square-foot surgical wing was added.
From the beginning, exceptional client
service has driven their growth and that has
not changed. They can now offer expanded
medical and surgical services that include digital radiology, ultrasound capability, an inhouse laboratory, orthopedic procedures, and
expanded hours.
A turning point came in 2007 when Dr.
Ryan Gorman joined the practice; he has since
become a partner.
There has been a constant effort to improve
the services offered to the community. Their
reputation for delivering exceptional care to
our pet friends continues to grow. Pets continure to be an integral part of family life, Dr
Ludwig said. Therefore, veterinary care for
pets continues to be an essential concern for
our clients.
THE PIN CUSHION, 657 N Delsea Dr,
Vineland, 856-692-5460 is a fabric and quilt
shop. They carry a wide variety of notions and
fabrics including quilting cotton, bridal satin
and lace, upholstery, vinyl, and foam.
In 1972, Connie and Jim Renauro decided to
buy Weitzmans Fabric store from its retiring
owner. At the time, Jim was an electronic engineer for RCA and had little knowledge of the
fabric business. Despite his apprehension (and
after some convincing from Connie), he purchased the business: The Pin Cushion was born.
Originally, it shared a building with
Martinis Shoes at 613 Landis Avenue. In those
days, there were several other fabric stores in
the area and many departments stores also
carried fabric. Most customers, were the stayat-home moms.
It didnt take long for my father to fall in
love with the business, says daughter and current owner Lisa. He saw it as an opportunity
to support his three daughters and build a better future. He wanted to create something that
he could pass down.
I enjoyed being at the store so much that by
10 years old, I was working part-time during
the summer. As a teenager, my older sister,
Gina, and I would work the counter after
school and weekends. My younger sister, Kim,
was too young at the time. Our father was very
proud of us; he would tell customers how we
would take a piece of fabric home and make a

dress to wear to work the next day.
Other family members worked at the
store, too. My aunt and uncle worked part
time at The Pin Cushion; they also ran a dress
making shop (Picadilly) around the corner.
The two businesses would collaborate; a customer could get a suit made at Picadilly from
the fabric that was purchased at The Pin
Cushion.
By 1979, times were getting tough, so my
father, the determined and ambitious person
he was, started to wholesale fabric to other
stores throughout Eastern and Midwest part
of the USA. Thats when PC Fabrics, his
wholesale fabric company, was created.
Business continued to thrive. In January of
1985, we moved to The Vineland Shopping
Center located at 22 W. Landis Avenue. We
extended our hours to match what the malls
hours were. We were also open on Sunday.
By the early 1990s, my two sisters and I
were all working with my dad. My sisters were
working in the wholesale end of the business
and I was managing the retail.
It was our fathers hard work and the long
hours he spent building the business that gave
us the opportunity to have the business we
have today. Our goal has always been to sell
quality merchandise at a reasonable price.
When our customers have trouble with their
project, we help in whatever way we can.
A major turning point occurred in 2004, as
our father retired. My sisters, Gina and Kim,
continued to run the wholesale business from
a different location. I continued to run the
retail store, The Pin Cushion, at our old location, 22 W Landis Avenue.
The quilting industry was growing and
changing. In 2007, I started offering classes in
the suite next door to the retail business. This
provided a great way to interact with the
community and teach people skills they can
carry throughout their life. We have been
holding sewing, quilting, crocheting and
painting classes since then. Recently we have
added knitting classes.
Another turning point came in 2011, when I
bought the properties on 657 N. Delsea Drive,
where the business currently resides. Last
February, we opened up our Sewing Studio,
located in a adjacent building on the same
property as the retail store. We are now working on plans for the final stage of the project,
which includes renovating the outside of the

building. Our sales floor is 1,000 feet bigger
than our old location so we are able to display
our merchandise better.
Today, there are four sales associates and
six instructors working at the store. They are
not family members but they are The Pin
Cushion family.
My daughters, JoAnne and Jackie, even
though in college pursuing medical careers,
are also involved. JoAnne manages my website
and is my graphic artist. She also shares the
responsibility of managing our Facebook with
Sales Associate Adriana. Jackie assists me at
the counter with customers when needed and
she also helps me a lot with home responsibilities, now that my dad lives with us, which
allows me to focus on the store, especially during the move and all the renovations. They also
help with making the store displays along with
my sales associates and instructors.
