Sunrise at Sunset Lake?
Local TV News Broadcast

Makes Debut on Channel 22
Improvements at Bridgetons lake have

left homeowners cautiously optimistic.

reflections the most.
oure in a serious accident. Your injuries are

treated. You fight through rehabilitation. You
mostly recover. But youre not the same. As
Sunset Lake in Bridgeton is struggling now, you try to
regain balance in your body and mind, try to return to
what you were before. You may or you may not. But at
least youre here.
The 200-year old lake had its accident August 14 to
15, 2011, when floodwaters from almost a foot of rain
overwhelmed its dam. The lake emptied and quickly
became a wild meadow with a small channel. Marsh
grasses flourished along with rodents and snakes in the
mud and murk, and large shrubs grew. It lapsed into a
four-year coma and some thought it wouldnt recover.
The treatment needed, about $4 million worth, was
finally applied. The dam was replaced and strengthened and the raceway redesigned to resist flooding
even in extreme conditions.
The 87-acre recreational pride of Bridgeton came
out of its stasis.
But its not the same.
Lack of sufficient funding prevented the dredging
of the lake bottom or the removal of even a single cattail, so decaying vegetation is impacting water quality.
A healthy lake may return along with all its fish and
wildlife. Or not.
But at least its here.
On a hill above the lake, Caroline Mulford Owens
lives in an eclectic home that her mother designed in
1957, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Caroline (long I please) spent a dozen summers on
Sunset Lake, starting in the early 1940s when her father,

NJ Today announced plans to launch the

first-ever TV newscast focused on the
entire southern New Jersey area beginning July 23, 2015. SNJ Today News will begin
with weekly Thursday night broadcasts on
Channel 22, and will transition to a daily
schedule this fall. The news show will also be
available on the SNJ Today website (www.snjtoday.com), and on FIOS, DirecTV and Dish satellite systems. SNJ Today News will gradually
expand its broadcasting reach to include
Channel 26 (for residents in Cape May and
eastern Atlantic counties) and WACP TV
(Channel 4) for the rest of South Jersey and
the Greater Philadelphia area.
Since an NBC affiliate based in Atlantic City
went off the air in December 2014, area residents have relied on Philadelphia-based stations for local TV news.
Newscasts from Philadelphia are great, but
the sheer size of their coverage area makes it
difficult to include stories that are local to South
Jersey, said Frank DiMauro, chief operating

Sydney L. Tyson, MD, MPH
wo years ago I met Ken Pustizzi, Sr. at our Hometown Heroes Gala. He had just
purchased a local television and radio company and had rebranded it SNJ Today.
His goal wasand still isto be a leader in telling positive community stories in
innovative ways. Ken and I hit it off pretty well and we saw a lot of synergies between
The Grapevine and SNJ Today.
With a lot of airtime to fill, not to mention a rapidly growing digital media presence,
Ken was impressed with the quality of positive local content my small, but talented staff
delivers to our readers in the greater Cumberland County area each week. He and I
both felt strongly that we should be able to partner up to share that content. The fact
that The Grapevines salespeople are so well connected in our community only strengthened Kens resolve to find a way to bring our teams together.
It is with great enthusiasm and pride that I announce to you that, after months of
discussions, SNJ Today has now acquired The Grapevine. Other than moving into a
beautiful new office in the Glassworks Complex in Millville, very little will change
between the front and back covers of your hometown weekly newspaper. We intend to
continue to deliver to you the good news coming from your community each week. We
will continue to seek out interesting and thought-provoking stories about the people
and organizations that make our community click. We will continue to offer our advertisers the best return on their print advertising investment available in our local market.
The Grapevine staff now joins a very talented assemblage of professionals in a facility
where the positive energy is palpable. My staff is reinvigorated by the move and by the
acquisition.
We love the idea that we are part of a company that can deliver news and information to our combined audience in a variety of formats. Some folks may be more comfortable reading a newspapersometimes theres just nothing like the smell of newsprint
and getting ink on your fingertips as you read about whats happening in your town!
Others may prefer to read the news on their smart phones. You might like to listen to
your news in your car (1240 AM) or watch it on TV (Comcast Channel 22). Even if you
would rather get your news fix while surfing the web on your computer or tablet (snjtoday.com), SNJ Today has you covered.
As this weeks cover story reveals, SNJ Today has now launched a weekly news
broadcast that will be aired in Cumberland County on Comcast Channel 22. By August,
it will become a nightly news program broadcast throughout southern New Jersey.
I am extremely proud of the community newspaper my staff and I started from
scratch seven years ago. I love The Grapevine as much as I love this community where
six generations of my family have lived and made their livelihoods since my Italian
ancestors came to this area in the late 1800s. I never would have agreed to give control
of this newspaper to someone else unless I was guaranteed to be a part of its future;
unless my staff (who I affectionately call my grapes) werent welcome to continue to
do the great work they do to bring you this newspaper each week; and unless the new
owners werent fully committed to continuing the positive community coverage weve
provided to you since February of 2008.
And so the next chapter begins for The Grapevine. And for SNJ Today. And for you
the reader, the viewer, the listener, the browser. I know we are going to enjoy the journey and I look forward to having you along for the ride. I

Cumberland Among Youngest

Counties in New Jersey
Based on median age, the U.S. Census
Bureau has reported on which counties in
New Jersey had the oldest populations and
which had the youngest. The U.S. median
age ticked up from 37.6 on July 1, 2013, to
37.7 on July 1, 2014.
These estimates examine population
changes among groups by age, sex, race and
Hispanic origin nationally, as well as in all
states and counties, between April 1, 2010,
and July 1, 2014.
The counties in New Jersey with the
highest median age on July 1, 2014, were
Cape May at 48.6, Hunterdon at 45.5 and
Sussex at 43.9. This means that half the
population was older than this age and half
younger.
The youngest countiesthat is, those
with the lowest median agewere Hudson
at 34.8, Passaic at 36.7 and Cumberland and
Essex, both at 37.0.

ou might have wondered why I

have not written a column for a
while. Well, okay, you probably
havent, but a couple of people
have asked. My answer to them is that I
have so much less to write about since our
kids arent quite as endearing as they were
a few years back. Our twin sons, about to
be high school juniors, have grown into
typical teen boys with big attitudes, big feet
and growing bodies they arent yet used to.
Their toilet humor has turned crude and
they rarely say cute things anymore. Lets
face it, they know more about the world
than the rents.
When our kids were little, my husband
and I joked that it was a good thing they
were so adorable, that it made up for the
unending days and nights raising a set of
twins in addition to their older sister. Now
the sister is away at college, and Im left
with all that testosterone in the house. I
come to work eager to hear stories of a coworkers cute kids.
An interesting shift last summer-intofall was my morphing from a swim team
mom into a band mom. After a dozen or so
years of taking our daughter to swim practices and serving as a timer or place judge
at swim meets, I had to hang up the
(beach) towel last summer after she had
aged out and graduated off the team. The
very same month, our boys started band
camp in preparation of marching band season and football games.
I had never imagined myself as a band
parent. My mom was one decades ago
when my brother was in the Oakcrest
Marching Ambassadors. As for me, I was
never musically inclined and much too
uncoordinated to swirl a flag or twirl a
baton (thats what a color guard did in
those days). But last year around this time,
I found myself with the title of Band
Booster president. I say title, because former officers and fellow band parents have
boosted ME up through a busy, sometimes
bewildering season of ups and downs.
Mostly ups, fortunately, and very educational to this novice.
My first lesson as an involved band mom
was to learn a whole new vocabularybibbers (suspender pants), Dinkles (marching
shoes), shakos (hats worn on the field plus
the plume), gauntlets (cuffs at the wrist,

also part of the uniform), pit (percussion
band members who dont march but play
during competitions), drum line (they do
march), woodwinds, timbrels, timpani
(large bowl drum) and marimba (a xylophone of sorts).
A second lesson was that this is not the
marching band of your day, Mom. My kids
didnt have to say itthis was obvious from
the first practice I glimpsed. In addition to
there not being a single baton twirled, the
marching itself was different. No straight
runs up the 50-yard line, the kids were
marching at all sorts of angles and the show
was theatrical, with elaborate props.
The fact that Im a novice when it comes
to all things music proves you dont need to
be an expert to be involved. As with all kids
activities (and parenting in general), multitasking is the name of the game. In addition
to distributing uniforms and enlisting parents to help with props and getting the kids
to practices and competitions, there are
fundraisers to coordinate to raise money
for the band and to give kids a chance to
make money for the annual band trip.
When I was recruited, there were promises
of a lesser trip and fewer fundraisers, but it
hasnt quite turned out that way.
Now Im starting my second term as
president of Band Boosters, so everything
should be much easier this year, right? A
fellow officer and I like to joke about how in
the first couple years when our kids were in
band, we were slackers. You know the
typemaybe you even are the typewho
drops the kids off at practices and activities
and hightails it back home to get some
much-needed sleep or down time.
Then I woke up. My kids will be out of
the house in a few short years and being
involved in what theyre most passionate
about allows me to share in their lives
while still possible. It also lets me see who
they hang out with and what theyre up to.
They may sometimes act as if they dont
want me around, but I see the smiles on
their faces when their friends talk about all
the things the band parents do.
And when our kids look back on their
high school years, their best memories will
be of band, friends in band, and yes, even
the Band Booster rents! I

ve mentioned our Vineland Pride

initiative and what we want to do
and need to doto make our downtown and our city a beautiful, attractive place in which to live, work, and visit.
A key component the Vineland Pride
initiative, as Ive also already said, is our
Adopt-a-Block program. For this, Main
Street Vineland works in conjunction with
other organizations, groups, and individuals to go out on the third Saturday of each
month to concentrate on various parts of
our downtown that can use a clean-up and
some beautification.
This months Adopt-a-Block clean-up
is this Saturday, July 18. Those participating will all meet at 9 a.m., rain or shine, at
the mini-parks, at Landis Avenue and the
Boulevard. From there, volunteers will be
sent to various downtown areas that will be
the focus for the day. Its three hours of
work and tools will be provided. Its also
great exercise.
Since starting this initiative a couple of
months ago, it has gained some traction,
but more work needs to be done. Were
looking for more organizationsclubs,
church groups, civic organizations, and
any otheras well as individuals who
want to join in. We particularly would like
each organization to commit to one
month, so that we can be as inclusive as
possible and the work can be shared
among a larger group of people.
Individuals can join in, as well, to help the
organizations. While the third Saturday of
each month is our scheduled day for this,

Vineland. But John offered a detailed proposal of a canal system for Chicago to
transport waste and solve the problems the
city experienced with cholera, typhoid
fever and other diseases. The greatest
mission this canal will perform is its selfacting sanitary work, he wrote. Let these
things be done and before the year 1900
more docks and canals will be required
After an 1885 storm threatened a repeat of
the 1854 epidemic, work on a canal began
and was completed in 1900.
Jared was one of the Gage siblings who
survived the Chicago tragedy. He had been
born in 1934 in Watertown, New York and
traveled with his parents to the Midwest.
There is not much information about his
early life but, from what is known of his
later years, he must have been a precocious
child. He had clearly been influenced by
his free-thinking parents, and by the 1850s
was outspoken in his opinions about societys conventions.
According to Shameless: The Visionary
Life of Mary Gove Nichols by Jean L.
Silver-Isenstadt, Jared had decided to
enroll in Antioch [Colleges] large
preparatory school in 1855. During this
time period, the free-love movement was
in its earliest stage in the U.S. The primary
philosophy that served as the bond
between its members was the radical view
that marriage was a destructive institution
that placed financial and other burdens on
couples given no other choice outside the
conventions of society.
Free love, allied with the suffrage and
feminist movements at the time, challenged the womans subservient role in
marriage in a male-dominated era and
expressed concern for unwanted children
in a loveless relationship. Its intentions,
however, were perceived as immoral and
unwarranted by societys watchdogs. And
it was into this ideological melee that
Jared plunged from the moment he
entered the campus of Antioch College.
The free-thinking concepts that would
soon form the foundation of Vineland,
where he would spend his final years, had
not yet taken hold of the faculty and
administration presiding over this quaint
Ohio college. I

ne of the more prominent

names from Vinelands earliest
years was that of the Gage family. John and Portia Gage were
part of the towns earliest free thinkers and
championed the cause of suffrage for both
African Americans and women. From their
arrival here in 1864, the Gages efforts
helped establish in Vineland the type of
progressive thinking that reached its peak
when 172 women defied the legalities of
the system and cast votes in the 1868 presidential election. While a more detailed
look at this couple is forthcoming, well
concentrate for the moment on one of the
Gages 11 children, Jared, whose short life
was a reflection of his parents ideals and
his death the result of one of the most
notorious situations resulting from the
Civil War.
Jareds death would not be the first loss
experienced by John and Portia, but his
demise originated from conditions similar
to those that claimed his siblings. When
the family first lived in Chicago, it was
prior to a cholera outbreak that occurred
in 1849, killing 678 people. But when business lured them back to the Windy City in
the early 1850s, their return placed them
in danger of the next wave of cholera, an
1854 outbreak that killed 1,424 people.
The disease could be traced to the
towns raw sewage, which was discharged
into the Chicago River and Lake
Michigan, also the source of the citys
drinking water. The Gages realized the
danger too late. According to Johns
Autobiographical Notes, residents dared
not stay with a family of children and
prospect of more, where the mortality of
children was so large, the river's dead
stream and the city building sewers to
wash the contents of privies, waterclosets
and other filth into the river, which was
turning black and becoming fetid and I
had no power with the city people nor its
affairs to persuade them to adopt a thorough sanitary system, so I moved my family back to my farm, but left five children in
the graveyard.
In frustration, the family returned to
Gages Lake, Illinois, where they previously
had been living, before moving east to

Gaps, Stacks and

Balancing Acts
The Clay College of Cumberland
County College is currently hosting
an exhibit titled, Gaps, Stacks and
Balancing Acts through August 10.
It features work by John Garretson.
This art series is an investigation of the natural, familial and
abstract divisions between art and
life, says Garretson.
Most of the artists pieces in the
series began as a stack of paper
drawings, prints, paintings and photo
transfers that often focus on a theme
or motif. After layers of manipulation, the artist resolves that the bulk
of the series is complete. He then
wraps the paper works around the
sandwiched block forms, and then
stitches and assembles the paper to
create a wall-mounted piece.
An artist reception takes place
69 p.m. on July 17 during Millvilles
Third Friday event. The Clay College
Gallery is located at 108 N. High
Street. Gallery hours are: 10 a.m.-9

The rebuilding of the Raceway

Dam and restoration of Sunset Lake
cost about $4 million, with insurance and FEMA covering most of it
and the city paying the rest. Here
are the figures, according to Kevin
C. Rabago, Sr., Special Assistant to
Mayor Albert B. Kelly and Director,
Office of Development & Planning
for the City of Bridgeton:
Costs:
Design ................................$250,000
Construction ..................$3,200,000
(South State, Inc.)
Inspections ........................$350,000
(Fralinger Engineering)
Debris removal..................$250,000
Testing ..................................$25,000
Costs paid by:
City Insurance ................$1.5 million
FEMA ...........................$1.575 million

Sunset Lake would be restored. The recreation areas of the lake, beach, park, and zoo
are key to revitalization of the city.
At the same time, the Watershed
Association, along with Rutgers Research
Center and the city health department have
three testing stations in the lake for weekly
monitoring of the effects of the vegetation
and evaluating changes in the ecosystem.
Julie Stanger said she and her family are
enjoying immensely having their lake back.
On the day they closed the dam gate, we
were out on the water in the afternoon with
our kayaks and canoes, plus we hear the
sounds of wildlife returning.
She told me the tale of the volessmall
rodents native to meadows and, unfortunately,
some home gardens.
As the lake filled, we saw hundreds of
them swimming and running for safety; I
think most of them had enough warning to
get out, she said. They were really moving.

Her family has resumed boating, but

swimming is problematic. Even before the
lake went, later in the summers we would
often get bad water tests, she said. Its due
to runoff, algae, and the geese, but swimming
is okay so far.
So, if you asked for the lake/patients condition right now, the response would likely
be guarded. I
Also of note is the addition of The

Grapevine newspaper to its Millvillebased operations. This latest acquisition expands SNJ Todays news and
entertainment reach beyond online and
broadcast platforms to include print
media. The Grapevine, founded by editor and publisher, Mike Epifanio, recently relocated to SNJ Today offices from
its Main Road location in Vineland.
SNJ Today exists to share positive community stories about and for
all of South Jersey in the most innovative and engaging ways possible,
said Ken Pustizzi, SNJ Today founder
and president. The Grapevine
shares our vision and has done a
wonderful job of showcasing the people and businesses in our area since
its very first issue. We couldnt be
happier to add them to our team of
talented media professionals.
The Grapevine reaches 20,000
area residents each Wednesday and
continues to grow its circulation.
SNJ Today, based in Millville, NJ,
was founded in 2013. Its programming
currently streams live and on-demand
on snjtoday.com with broadcasts on
affiliates Comcast Channel 22 in
Cumberland County and WSNJ AM
1240 regionally. The companys video
programming offers local community
stories ranging from long-form documentaries to short news packages. It
will soon reorganize to form three
branded operations, including SNJ
Today, ClearBridge Media (providing
full-service marketing services and
solutions), and Glasstown Productions
(creating digital ads, videos and multimedia presentations).

bought a rudimentary
Boy Scout cabin with a
pump on the porch for
water and an outhouse
up the hill for the
other thing.
My mother was a
really good sport, she
said with a deadpan
face, but sparkling eyes.
While Caroline (pictured above) lived
near the Long Island Sound in Connecticut
for many years, she and her family continually
and frequently visited Bridgeton. Now, shes
been back almost 15 years.
I was never far from Sunset Lake in my
mind, she said. I love this lake and everybody who lives here loves it, too.
In my three-hour visit, she wove narratives
of the history of Bridgeton and its lake, supplemented with postcards, photos, clippings,
and family heirlooms. I left her house with
pages of newspaper accounts filling my hands
and her perceptions of the tapestry of the
city filling my head.
I walked with this grande dame down a few
dozen bluestone steps toward her dock.
Annoying mosquitoes and flies trailed us
one of the changes in the natural balance here,
since few swallows remain to devour them.
Its such a privilege to live on a body of
water, she said. Even though theres a lot of
scuzz here right now.
Flotsam of decaying vegetation lingered on
her shoreline and washed against her dock,
mixing with a few old tennis balls and glass
bottles. Cattails and phragmites poked through
the surface. Brown silt runoff from up river
farms, driven by recent rains, vied with the blue
sky and white clouds to see which color would
win the reflection battle on the mirror of water.
Its truly not the same.
Before, the water was clear, the bottom
was visible; I kept it clean, grabbed up every
little flip top, every bit of paper, she lamented
with a slight slump in her body language.
Then, she stood up straighter.
But if they hadnt mended the dam, we
wouldnt have a lake, she said firmly.
That was step one. Now, the water quality
needs improving and the vegetation needs
removing. She was pleased with her spontaneous poetry. Having the lake is what matters.
Blake Maloney, who retired as the director of the Cumberland County Utilities
Authority and presides over the Cohansey Area
Watershed Association, arguably has the
most technical knowledge of the engineering
and ecology of the lake of any resident there.
After explaining in detail the mechanics
of the dam failure, he assessed the repairs
and restoration.
Those 65-foot pieces of steel sheathing, I
think, and the bricks of the new structure will
prevent any floodwater from taking out the
backside of the road or washing out the raceway, he said. They did it right this time.
Speaking for the residents, he said,
There was no question in our minds that
What Was the Pricetag?
Change.
Its a word that can infuriate, frighten or invigorate.
