Ottinger is Honored

Miss Vineland Selects


PlatformArts & Smarts

Vineland Highs main entrance is dedicated to Charles D. Chalky Ottinger, who through
the years has been a teacher, coach, athletic director, principal, and superintendent.

Chalky Ottinger addresses his well-wishers in the foyer that now


bears his name.

rom this day forward, students entering the


main entrance of Vineland High School will pass
through a foyer and under a sign bearing the
name and smiling portrait of Charles D. Chalky
Ottinger, the man who has devoted much of his life
and energy to serving thousands of young people as a
teacher, coach, athletic director and principal.
A crowd of more than 150 jammed the foyer, the
entrance to the building and the main lobby on
Tuesday, March 31, to witness the 35-minute ceremony
that included the unveiling of the sign. Those who did
not have a good vantage point were able to watch the
proceedings on closed-circuit TV. Among the crowd
were scores of current and former educators, local,
county and state legislators and many of the people
whose lives were touched.
Dedication of the foyer to Chalky, as he prefers to
be called by family, friends, colleagues and even casual
acquaintances, was approved on February 11 by the
Vineland Board of Education. Recognition for
Ottingers contributions was first presented to the

iss Vineland 2015, Jaclyn Kell, has formally


announced her platform, Arts & Smarts.
This platform is focused on fine and performing arts awareness and it will concentrate on
our community, youth, young adults, and children
who are underprivileged and have special needs.
Jaclyn stated The fine and performing arts are
dear to my heart. Since I was three years of age I
have danced at The Arts of the Dance Centre in
Vineland, studying ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, tap and acro.
Jaclyn was born with bilateral club feet, and had
surgery at eight months old. Her parents were told
by her physician who performed the surgery that she
should not be involved in any contact sports. The
only program that would help her to strengthen her
feet, and be a physical therapy for her was dance.

t was in 1876 that Vineland founder


Charles K. Landis devoted his
attention to writing a novel. The
previous year, he had watched his
marriage dissolve after shooting the editor
of The Independent newspaper for printing an unflattering piece about his wife.
He had spent a considerable amount of
time incarcerated and began 1876 on trial
for murder. The courtroom drama would
end in February with an acquittal, but by
then the defendant needed to disappear
into his imagination. Sometime during the
following months, Landis would complete
the manuscript for a science fiction novel
called A Trip to Mars and then, possibly
content with the therapy the writing
process provided, abandoned it.
Upon Landiss death in 1900, the 1876
manuscript and two typescripts of the
work were inherited by the founders sister Matilda, who donated them to the
Vineland Historical and Antiquarian
Society (VHAS) in 1931. After that, the
novels existence soon passed into rumor
and legend. Occasional mention of the
work surfaced, but many people seemed
to think no remnant existed. However, all
that will be put to rest next month when,
through a joint effort between VHAS and
the South Jersey Culture and History
Center (SJCHC) of Stockton University, A
Trip to Mars will be published for the first
time.
I see this as a contribution to the science fiction field but also something that
will give people more insight into Mr.
Landis personality because it shows what
a creative and imaginative person he was,
said Patricia Martinelli, VHAS curator.
And when you look at whats going on in
the news these days, with people actually
talking about making trips to Mars, it
seems rather timely.
Stockton professor and SJCHC director Thomas Kinsella sees Landis science
fiction leanings as a reflection of the era in
which he lived. I think were watching
what was in that environment at that time,
a lot of people thinking about a lot of
ideas, he said when interviewed earlier
this year. Landis was a well-educated and
in-touch guy. He knew the trends and was
intrigued by them.
Martinelli explained that she
approached Mark Demitroff, who is affili-

ated with the SJCHC and also a member


of the VHAS Board of Trustees, and
Kinsella instead of a traditional publisher
because it would keep the expenses down.
In fact, she said, the Center is handling
all the costs on our behalf because they
feel that this is definitely a project thats
important and they wanted to be involved
with it.
Shortly after meetings between the
VHAS and the SJCHC in early January,
the publishing process began. It all happened very quickly, said Martinelli,
mainly because everyone was so excited
at the idea of having this manuscript
turned into a book. Mark and I talked
about what we saw for the book, and Tom
explained the whole procedure of how it
would be a publish-on-demand project.
She added that Stockton is handling
everything from the cover art to the typesetting.
The VHAS curator mentions that the
two organizations will handle the promotion of the book, but how do you market
Charles K. Landis today? Im not sure
were going to do it this way, but with the
interest in things like steampunk, I think
that Charles K. Landis A Trip to Mars is
right within that environment, Kinsella
said, referring to the trendy science fiction
sub-genre which largely employs a retroindustrial setting of steam-powered
Victorian England and Wild West America
for its post-apocalyptic tales. People
might very well be interested in a look
back at what sci-fi was or at least how it
was envisioned by someone like Landis at
the end of the [19th] century. Certainly
there is a crowd out there that is connected and very interested in Vineland and
South Jersey and well reach out to them.
But theres this younger crowd that
doesnt think about those local historical
matters, [yet] is quite interested in this
new gaming environment of steampunk.
Maybe we could reach out to them.
The books release date will be determined shortly and Martinelli said the
VHAS will be selling the novel once its
available. There will probably be several
book signings as well. Were pretty sure
that this is going to receive a lot of favorable attention, she said. I

I Downtown Vineland
{ BY RUSSELL SWANSON, EXEC. DIRECTOR, VDID / MAINSTREET VINELAND }

National Conference
Swanson plans to load up with information at gathering.

y time you read this, I will have just


returned from several days at the
National Main Streets Conference
in Atlanta, GA. Im writing this, however,
right before my departure, so Im full of
anticipation and excitement over all that
Ill be learning. Though my predecessors
have attended these annual conferences,
this is my first one and I can hardly wait to
soak up as much information as I can.
This isnt a junket for fun. It isnt Ralph
Kramden getting together with his fellow
Raccoons or Fred Flintstone living it up
with his fellow Water Buffaloes. This is
four full days of learning, networking, and
taking in as much information as possible
to bring back and apply to our downtown.
Main Street Vineland Board Chairperson
Louise Bertacchi and I will be representing Vineland and I know that well all
come back re-energized and ready to work
harder than before.

The theme of this years conference will


be TEAM Main Street: Teamwork and
Entrepreneurship across Main Street. Itll
be about focusing on bringing partners
together to foster new ideas for building
economic, financial, and business development successes on Main Street. Those of
you who read my last column on the business incubator, shark tanks, and think tank
initiatives were in the process of setting up
for business revitalization know that this
topic is right up my alley. Itll be an opportunity for the two of us to not only learn
from the workshops and meetings, but also
to meet, talk to, and learn from representatives from other Main Street districts
throughout the country. It also includes the
chance to network with architects, planners, economic development specialists,
public officials and consultants.
Itll also be a time to refamiliarize ourselves with the Main Street Four-Point

ApproachOrganization, Design,
Promotion, and Economic Restructuring.
We will see personally what Atlanta has
done and is doing as a Main Street district.
Im also eager for us to see the products
and services that will be on display on the
expo floor.
Im sure that well be bursting with
information and new enthusiasm when we
get back and Ill let you know in the next
column all about it. For now, Ive get to get
moving.
***
I want to take this opportunity to thank
everyone who helped to make our recent
Get Acquainted with Main Street Meetand-Greet a success. Our office was alive
with over 75 people who came out to learn
about what we do and to volunteer to help
us. We had over 16 new people sign up to
be volunteers in our fine organization. My
assistant Robin Barbetti, along with our

Organization Committee, did a stupendous


job in the planning and everyone came
together to make it a great evening.

Also, dont forget about our Laughs on
Landis comedy showon Thursday, April
16, starting at 5:30 p.m., at Grant Plaza, 619

OTTINGER
(Continued from cover)

school board by the Vineland High School


Historical Committee in January. The foyer
was selected because Ottinger was known
as an administrator who steadfastly maintained an open door policy.
A plaque with information about
Ottingers life and career was on display in
a reception area in the main lobby. Later, a
bronze plaque with that information will
be on prominent display in the foyer. A cake
with a smiling Chalky was also donated
for the event by Crust N Crumbs bakery.

The invocation was offered by Father


Donald Reilly, President of St. Augustine
Prep School. Master of ceremonies was
Keith Petrosky, president of the VHS
Historical Committee and Clerk of the City
of Vineland. Chalky had five key roles at
VHS (and the district), said Petrosky. He
was a teacher, coach, athletic director, principal and superintendent. Not many people
can claim that, in a successful manner.
Dr. Thomas McCann, VHS principal,
presented Ottinger with a ceremonial brick
saved from the renovation work some years
ago at Landis School, the old Vineland
High School. The brick was decorated by
Ms. Jana Dandreas art classes.
Over the years, Chalky has given a

piece of himself to service to the students,


said Dr. McCann. So we have decided to
give him a piece of Vineland High School
he so richly deserves in return. He now has
a piece of Vineland High School forever.
Said Dr. Mary Gruccio, Superintendent,
I want to thank Chalky for his many contributions to our district, our community,
and most especially for our students. And
thats why were herewere here for kids.
Thats what I admire and love the most
about Chalky. He is a genuine advocate for
kids. All kids. And he never gave up on a
child. I am honored to call you my friend,
so happy to be here tonight. This evening is
yours, I hope you enjoy it.
How do you honor a man that has liter-

ally held almost every title the Vineland


Public School district has to offer, said
Scott English, Board of Education
President. Teacher, coach, athletic director, VHS South principal, and last but not
least, superintendent of Vineland Public
Schools. A truly impressive resume.
Longtime Ottinger friend John Scarpa,
who led a group who underwrote the costs
of the initiative, said the evening was very,
very special to me because Chalky is such a
very, very special person.
When you have a friend like Chalky,
you dont need too many other friends, he
said. Its appropriate that this entranceway now bears his name, because thats
what he provided to every student he
encounteredan entrance to an education
and then an entrance to life. Chalkys name
in this building is a constant reminder of
what vision and education can provide.
Sam Fiocchi, NJ Assemblyman (R-1)
presented Ottinger with a joint legislative
resolution praising his contributions to
education, and his community.
Following Fiocchis remarks, Petrosky
called for the removal of a banner, revealing the sign over the school entrance bearing Ottingers image and name. Then it was
the guest of honors turn at the podium.
I cant believe this," he said. Its kind
of overwhelming, as you might expect. Let
me say, dont worry about this cancer bit. I
mean, I had a lot, a lot of shining moments
in the sun, and you all know it, and so do I.
So, I really am appreciative of everything
done and gotten in life, and this is just
above and beyond anything I ever could
have imagined.
Members of the VHS Select Choir then
sang their signature benediction, May the
Lord Bless You and Keep You. The group
had earlier performed the national anthem
and school alma mater.
Following the official end of the ceremony, Ottinger and his wife Karen greeted
guests for at least a half hour. I

JACLYN KELL
(Continued from cover)
Jaclyn said: Dance has been a part of my
everyday life and even though I am not a
perfect dancer and dont have perfect
feet, I try my best, work hard, and know all
things are possible. This is something I feel
I can share and encourage with all children.
I want them to know if you believe in it, you
can achieve it.

The Arts and Smarts fine and performing arts awareness will also help encourage,
enlighten, and spark an interest in all.
Jaclyn states she would like to stress the
importance to the parents/guardians of
children being involved in the arts because
research proves that it creates confidence,
creativity, self-esteem, language skills, better math, reading and writing skills, problem solving, perseverance, better school
attendance and so much more.
There are so many opportunities all
around us for children and young adult to
be exposed to the fine and performing arts.
Jaclyn, with the help of the Frank
Guaracini, Jr. Fine and Performing Arts
Center, will be able to make some childrens
dreams come true.
Alex Kaganzev has been very instrumental in helping Jaclyn with her platform.
He organized a meeting of the minds with
the Frank Guaracini Jr. Fine and Performing
Arts Center. Frank Guaracini, Jr.,
Benefactor of the Frank Guaracini, Jr. Fine
and Performing Arts Center, along with
Beatrice Daly, Director of Conference &
Events operations at the Cumberland
County College, and Chris Totora, Assistant
Director, Fine Arts Center are the executives that are supporting and helping to
make things happen.
Jaclyns first opportunity to reach out to
the community will be Sunday, April 26.
Jaclyn has been invited to attend the Christ
the Good Shepherd Parish Festival located
on 1655 Magnolia Rd, Vineland NJ 08361.
During this time she will have an opportunity to discuss and promote her platform. She
will also be performing sometime during

Jello-Eating Contest Raises Scholarship Money


Twenty students from Vineland High
School's National Honor Society put some
real FUN into a fundraiser recrenty. It was
the second annual NHS Jello-Eating
Contest, with funds raised for the benefit
of the Michael Gruccio Scholarship Fund.
All the contestants in the event at west
cafeteria of VHS South were NHS scholars,
said Carole Dallago, NHS advisor. Two
teams composed of male and female students dug in to bowls of Jello without using their hands, trying to eat as much as
possible in about 90 seconds. The room was packed with fellow students cheering
them on. There was also a sizable contingent of media covering the event.
After brief but energetic gorging on the different flavors of Jello, Jasmine "Poetic
Jazz" Glover and Devon "Big D" Mattie were declared the winners and received
Wawa gift cards as their prize. Donations collected at the event and from the sale
of baked goods will be used for the Gruccio Scholarship, awarded to a deserving
graduate at the senior merit assembly in June, said Dallago.
In addition to Glover, the female contestants included Jordan Rivera "Aka JoJo",
Kayla Garcia, Niyah Cosme, Nina English "Nutty Nein", Kaitlynn Conrow, Amanda
Garton, Juliana Merighi "Juicy Jules" and Angelica You.
The male contestants flanking Mattie were Nico Gonzalez "Nic", Mark
Novatorskiy "Jello Fellow", Steven Tobolski "Sweet Steve", Kyle Castellini "K-Cast",
Jared Martine "JMac", Jesus Hernandez, Askay Patel "DJ Cocoa", Anthony Sierra,
Carlos Motoa "Carquan-Da-Illezt" and Dhruv Patel "Tennis Maker"
Those who wish to make a donation should make checks payable to the "VHS
Activities Fund" with an NHS notation. Checks can be mailed to Vineland High
School South, 2880 East Chestnut Ave., Vineland, NJ. 08361.
The competition was recorded by VPS TV and will be broadcast on Comcast
Channel 9 and Verizon FIOS Channel 41 at a later date. The video will also be
available on our Youtube Channel - VLDSchoolsTV

Holocaust Survivor Rabbi Murray Kohn, of Vineland spoke to St. Augustine


Prep history and theology classes here today about his experience as a child in a
Polish concentration camp. It was 1942 and Kohn was 12 year old when he was
taken from his home and entered Auschwitz. His mother and younger sister
where killed there, but he and his father survived. They were liberated in 1945
and immigrated to Italy before coming to the United States in 1950. I dont
know why I survived, said Kohn. I just did. He said he speaks to groups so
they too will never forget.
Go home today and tell your parents, tell your children and grandchildren,
he urged. Kohn estimates that in about 10 or so years there will be no living
Holocaust survivors to tell their story.
You have learned first-hand about history today, said St. Augustine Prep
President Fr. Donald Reilly, O.S.A., noting that there are few survivors of the
Holocaust left to share their experience. Here is one of them and you have
learned from him.
It was an eye-opening presentation that revealed the sentiments behind the
historical facts that we know, said Max Lamcken, class of 2015.
Rabbi Kohn has authored numerous articles, essays, and books in English

Selecting Colors for Your
Home's Exterior: 8 Tips

Doughertys is
your pond specialist

An exterior makeover to your home can provide great value. When choosing colors, there
are several factors to consider.

The colors will look different as the


intensity of the sunlight changes.)
8. Make it last. Who wants to invest
thousands of dollars every few years to
re-paint? An alternative is pre-painted
planks, but their finishes degrade just like
paint. Better are cladding products that
are certified and warranted to retain their
color over their lifespan.
Vinyl and other polymeric siding manufactures incorporate color at the front
end of productionactually blending the
pigment into the formulation. The color
cant chip, pit or peel, giving homeowners
peace of mind that they wont have to
paint or repair the finish.

If your house is starting to look a little


scruffy, you could re-caulk and re-paint,
but thats a lot of work. Plus, youd be out
there again in a few years doing it all over
again. And would it really make that
much of a difference in the overall look?
To really jolt your curb appeal, maybe its
time to re-side.
If so, youll want to balance beauty and

performance, says designer, and home


improvement expert Vicki Payne.
On the beauty side, when you mix
materials, incorporate a variety of shapes,
use rich colors to accentuate windows and
doors or the whole house, the synergies are
spectacular, she said. On the performance
side, choice of materials is criticalmake
sure you go with something that will retain
long-lasting beauty but not require a lot of
effort to maintain.
In the past, homeowners, designers,
builders and remodelers frequently chose
vinyl siding on its own and in combination
with brick, stone and even other styles of
vinyl and polymeric siding for its durability, low maintenance and value. It has the
lowest installed cost of any exterior
cladding, never needs painting or caulking
and can be cleaned with just a garden
hose, long-handled bristle brush and soapy
water. Vinyl and insulated siding consistently rank among the highest return on
investments for remodeling projects.
Thats partly why vinyl siding has been
the number-one choice in exterior
cladding for the last 20 years, according to
the U.S. Census Bureau. But with

Youve no doubt driven down a street,


seen a house, and thought, Yikes! What
were they thinking?
Colors can evoke a visceral response,
especially on home exteriors. At once
both personal and public, colors make a
first impression, can accentuate attributes
and soften flaws, and offer a glimpse into
your personality.
Homeowners can be influenced by
many sourcesfriends and neighbors,
magazines, TV shows or the guy at the
hardware storeso youll need to be careful youre not just chasing the latest
trend; otherwise, your house might be the
one that people end up rolling their eyes
at, says PBS home improvement expert
Vicki Payne.
Payne says youll be happy for years to
come by following eight tips on selecting
colors for your homes exterior:
1. Deciding between bright and cheerful colors or deep, rich earth tones will
influence all other decisions.
2. Pick colors that will blend in with
your surroundings.
3. Make sure your choices in siding
and trim dont clash with materials you
are not going to replace, such as roof
shingles, brick, stone and tile.
4. The size and lot location of your
house matter. Light colors can make a
house look bigger, and dark colors can
make it look smaller.
5. Landscaping will continue to grow
and change colors as the seasons change,
so trees, shrubs and flowering gardens
need to be considered.
6. Use neutral colors to de-emphasize
things such as an air conditioning unit or
gutters and downspouts, and use contrasting or accent colors to highlight
things such as architectural detailing,
porch railings, windows and front doors.
7. Computer visualizers can give a general idea of what colors will look like, but
large swatches (about 2x3 feet) give a
truer look at what colors might actually
look like on your home. (Take a look at
the swatches at different times of day.

Has Winter Been


Tough on Your Home?

Agency
Spring is finally here, and now is a
good time to inspect your home for
damage that may have occurred during the cold, wet winter we just experienced. Making repairs to any damage
now helps to prevent further damage
to your home.
Here are some areas of concern to
homeowners.

improved aesthetic qualities and performance of todays vinyl siding, trim and
accessories, its increasingly popular for
its ability to suit a sweeping range of
architectural styles and design tastes.
In fact, vinyl siding is available in more
profiles than any other cladding on the
market. Using the latest technology, vinyl
siding manufacturers can recreate the fine
wood exteriors of the past that work beautifully with many architectural styles from
historic to contemporary. And vinyl siding
is available in a broad and ever-increasing
spectrum of colors.
To see what your home might look like

Look for cracks in caulk around


windows. Seal that up before spring
rains come.
INSPECT YOUR ROOF
Look for broken shingles and
loose flashing.
Inspect your attic for signs of
water damage.
Fix these trouble spots before
spring rains result in leaks.

ACCUMULATION OF WATER

with a facelift, many home improvement


companies offer online tools that allow you
to mix and match trim and accessories to
accent details specific to the architectural
style of your home. Just search siding

No matter the age or type of house,
whatever your budget, looking to sell or
just make your neighbors jealous, there are
many ways to transform your house into
something spectacular, Payne said.

Check your grading, because if it


isnt right, water can work its way
back into your home.

traction.

Eliminate water from the basement, using a sump pump if necessary.


Take these steps to help control
dry rot and mildew from forming.
CAULK LEAKS

Winter storms clog gutters with


leaves, and icy weather creates ice
damming that bend and break gutters
from their moorings, making them
unable to properly divert rainwater
from your home. We recommend gutters be cleaned out and repaired as
necessary.
Remember, regular home maintenance can be one of the best investments you make in your home. By taking care of routine items before they
become expensive repairs, you can
help keep your home safe and less
likely to experience costly insurance
claims.

Roof maintenance is critical to pest prevention as winter ends and spring dawns. Inside
and out, spring cleaning is your opportunity to put a stop to overflowing clutter.

(NPMA) advises homeowners that its not


too early to take stock of the damage their
homes may have sustained during the
winter months. Typically, the winter
weather trio of ice, snow and wind leave
houses full of new cracks and openings,
rolling out the red carpet for invading
springtime pests.
The effects of melting snow and ice
can create cracks and crevices in the
foundation and roofs, which leave houses
vulnerable to infestations of rodents, ants,

cockroaches and other pests, said Missy


Henriksen, vice president of public affairs
for NPMA. Homeowners should take
steps to ensure that the snowy winter
does not lead to serious pest issues a few
months from now.
The first step toward keeping spring
pests outdoors is to repair any obvious
damage from winter storms. The NPMA
recommends the following advice for preventing infestations and recognizing them
before its too late.

Look for missing shingles on the


roof, ripped window screens and clogged
gutters.
Seal visible cracks and holes, including entry points for utilities and pipes.
Replace weather-stripping, and
repair loose mortar around basement
foundation and windows.
Ensure that basements, attics and
crawl spaces are well ventilated and dry.
Vacuum doors and windows. They
are key entry points for eager pests, so
keep them vacuumed to catch invaders

Inspect garage and outbuildings. If
rodents have moved in, its time for eviction. Organize cluttered debris, boxes and
random items along the walls where mice
may hide or nest. Does spring cleaning
call for a new shelving unit?
However, because pests can find their
way in through the smallest of openings,
homeowners should contact a pest professional to perform a thorough inventory
inside and outside the home to ensure
they are protected against a spring invasion, advised Henriksen.

How to Tell if Youre


Truly Buying American
Three million jobs.
Thats the number that supporters of
the Buy America movement calculate

South Jersey Gas


Urges Safe Digging
This April marks the 8th annual
National Safe Digging Month, reminding New Jersey residents to follow the
law and always call 811 at least three
days before starting any digging project. National Safe Digging Month is
formally recognized by the U.S.
House of Representatives and Senate,
and has traditionally earned the support from nearly every state governor
across the country.
The national "Call Before You Dig"
number, 8-1-1, is a free hotline created to help protect people from unintentionally hitting underground utility
lines while working on excavation
projects. People digging often make
risky assumptions about whether or
not they should get their utility lines
marked due to concerns about project delays, costs and previous calls
about other projects. These assumptions could be life-threatening.
As April traditionally starts the
digging season, we take the opportunity to remind homeowners and companies alike that its the law to call
811 before they begin any digging
projects, said Jeffrey E. DuBois,
president of South Jersey Gas.
Every digging job requires this free
call for a mark out even small projects like planting trees or shrubs. If
you hit an underground utility line
while digging, you can harm yourself
or those around you, disrupt service
to an entire neighborhood and potentially be responsible for fines and
repair costs.
For more information about underground utility safety and safe digging
practices, please visit www.southjerseygas.com or www.call811.com.
South Jersey Gas, subsidiary of
energy services holding company
South Jersey Industries (NYSE:SJI),
provides natural gas service to over
366,000 residential, commercial and
industrial customers in Atlantic, Cape
May, Cumberland, Salem, and significant portions of Gloucester,
Burlington and Camden counties in
New Jersey.

Spring Cleaning

CENTER

Spring heralds a season of fresh starts


and growthand what better way to start
anew than with a little spring cleaning?

Taking the time to get organized can


make all the differenceand it can make
the most cluttered closets and dirtiest
corners a breeze to clean. With the right
tools in hand, organizing any messy space
becomes a mangeable task. You can save
time and money by getting cleaning supplies, like dusters, sponges and automated
air fresheners.
Still dont know where to start? Try
these spring-cleaning tips:
Cover the basics. Take inventory of
your cleaning supplies. Some must-haves
are mops, brooms, sponges, paper towels,
trash bags, disinfectant wipes and bathroom-specific supplies. Make a list of
what you need so you can get it all in one
shopping trip.
Tackle the clutter in steps. Spring
cleaning can be daunting, so take small
steps and approach spaces one at a time.
Strive to find everything a permanent

Spring Cleaning and Home Tune-up

Mulch Stone Boulders Hardscaping Premium Topsoil Pond Supplies Plants

Now that winter is over and the spring snow (gasp!) is gone, its a good
time to evaluate your homes mechanical systems. If you are able, you can perform some minor checks to your heating and cooling system yourself or you
can contact a contractor to fix any major issues that have been lingering from
last season. Either way, you can save time and money by addressing any
issues now, rather than waiting until its 90 degrees outside to place an SOS
call to your technician. Here are some of the more common problems that you
should address:
Air Filtersshould be changed periodically, depending on the style you use.
Did you know that the traditional fiberglass filters have a suggested lifespan of
only 30 days? Leaving them in longer increases the chance of dust, dander,
and debris blowing through them and into your duct system and ultimately
into your living space. For better filtration and longer life you can use pleated
style filters or the higher efficiency media type or electronic air cleaners.
HumidifiersIf youve ever looked into your humidifier after a dormant season you may have noticed a growth of mold or mildew. As you can imagine,
the air that passes through your heating system may be picking up these allergens and distributing them throughout your home, causing conditions like
allergies, itchy skin rashes and itchy eyes. Your humidifier should be cleaned
often and thoroughly according to the operation manual. Using vinegar or
bleach is one way to be sure you kill all evidence of mod, mildew, and bacteria.
The water valve should also be closed and the humidifier drained for the cooling season.
Air Conditioning Condensing UnitsYour outside air conditioning condensing units use airflow to dissipate heat to operate efficiently. Lack of airflow can
not only hinder efficiency but can disable the unit from operating.
Homeowners should make sure that condensing units are free from leaves,
sticks and other debris that may have accumulated over the fall and winter
season. If your unit was not cooling properly last season it may warrant a call
to your heating and cooling contractor to evaluate the unit for repair or
replacement.
Rebates and Equipment ReplacementIf you have been nursing your existing heating or cooling equipment through the seasons, now may be a good
time to think about replacing them. There are still a few rebate programs available from the New Jersey Clean Energy WARMAdvantage Program.
Homeowners can even qualify for up to $1000 in rebates for replacing heating,
cooling, and water heater systems. Contact your contractor or see
www.njcleanenergy.com/warm for more information.

Garden furniture, also popularly known
as outdoor furniture and patio furniture, is
mainly required for outdoor settings.
These are very useful in arranging seating
arrangements in gardens, lawns, hotels,
and restaurant settings. A patio set consists of a table, chairs (four to six), and an
umbrella or parasol. These can be customized according to requirements of different settings.
For example, you can have a fixed or

Start Seeds Indoors in


10 Easy Steps
Source: LaTorre Hardware
Planting seeds inside is the first
step toward spring and summer crops.
Starting now means youll be planting
seedlings outside in just 4 to 6 weeks.
Plus, planting seeds is as easy and
fun as can be. Gather your kids, family
or friends to plant seeds with you for a
think Spring get-together.
Theres nothing more refreshing or
rewarding than crunching down on produce youve grown from seed. Heres
how to get started:
1. Dream big: Choose your favorite
high-quality seeds from a huge selection. Starting hard-to-find or expensive
plants from seed will give you the
biggest bang for your buck.
2. Stock up: Get plastic trays with
holes in the bottom or a seed-starting
kit as well as an organic soil starter,
such as Espomas Organic Seed
Starter. An organic soil like this is made
specifically to help your seedlings grow
strong, sturdy roots in a healthy, safe
environment.
3. Get plantin: Fill seed trays to
within of the top and lightly water.
Then, follow seed packet instructions to
see how deep and far apart to plant.
Cover with soil, press down and label.
4. Water wisely: Water perfectly by
placing tray in a larger pan of shallow
water for a few seconds or up to a couple of minutes so the water seeps up
from the bottom.
5. Find the right spot: Place seeds
in a warm, safe place. To warm up a
spot, place a space heater nearby or
place trays on top of the refrigerator.
6. Take cover and wait: Loosely

7. Spot a sprout: Once you see


sprouts, remove the cover and move
seeds to a sunny, south-facing window
that is 65-75F. Then, turn the container
a little each day to prevent leaning
seeds.

T +|
| 

8. Boost plants: When leaves grow,


add a bit of fertilizer such as Espomas
Plant-tone. Plant-tone is an organic fertilizer, so its safe to use on edibles and
helps plants grow bigger than ever
before.

10. Plant permanently: Once the last


frost date has passed, youre ready to
plant! Gently remove plants from containers without damaging the roots.
Plant in a prepared bed and mix in
organic starter plant food to keep them
strong, such as Bio-tone Starter Plus.
You did it! Summer is just a step

cover the tray with plastic wrap, or use


the cover in your seed-starting kit.
Check seeds daily for moisture.

9. Strengthen seeds: Check seed


packets to see when to plant after the
last frost. Before planting youll want to
harden off seedlings. Hardening off is a
process that gets seeds used to the
outdoors. Simply place your tray outside for a few hours a day for 7-10
days. Each day, increase their time outdoors and reduce watering.

The Alternative to
Renovations

Renovations can be expensive undertakings, which in many cases will not
serve to increase the overall worth of your
house. Therefore, while they may be nice,
in many respects they may simply be
another way of throwing money away.

Pond Startup for


Spring
Pond season has started and its
time to get your pond up and running. My best advice would be to
clean your pond in the fall, but if you
didnt do it then, you can surely do it
now or call us and we can do it for
you. This would include moving the
fish into a holding tank and draining
the pond and doing a good thorough
cleaning, then properly moving the
fish back into the pond.
Spring is the time that you should
replace your filter pads with new
ones and replace the bulb in your
ultraviolet light. Once you have your
pond up and running, you can add
the proper water treatments. My recommendation is to add the following
products when starting your pond in
the spring.
Bacteriathis will seed the biological filter and give it a jumpstart.
This is important because you need
that bacteria to keep the water balanced as the fish start eating and
producing waste.

Foodyes, there are different


kinds of food depending on the time
of year. In spring when water temps
are cooler and the fish are eating for
the first time of the season, you
want to use a wheat germ-based
food. This food is softer, which
allows the fish to more easily digest.
Also, this food is high in carbs,
which will help the fish build its fat
back up after hibernating all winter.
You will want to use this type of food
for the first month (April) of feeding
your fish. As temps warm you can
switch to the higher protein food for
the summer.
