he res a strange ghost ship afloat near us. It lures


unwary passengers out to sea and alters their
minds. Many are schoolchildren.
Its the A.J. Meerwald, a
restored old oyster
schooner sailing the
Delaware Bay where there
are no more oysters and
no more schooners. Most
sightseers return with a
new appreciation of the
dazzling bay environment
and its rich local history.
Students often remember
field trip sails as their best
experience of the year.
Very few disembark feeling the same as when they
climbed aboard.
The majesty of the 87year-old sailing ship
reminds us of a time when
it was one of hundreds in these waters as shellfish harvesting and shipbuilding drove a booming economy in the
southwestern outback of Cumberland County, New Jersey.
The crew of New Jerseys official tall ship is rigging the
masts for its final public sails of the season out of the
Bayshore Center at Bivalve, which painstakingly restored
the old boat in the early 1990s. Sails are October 10, 11, and

1960s Steel Pier


Unearthed publication has our columnist
taking a walk down Memory Lane.

{ 2 } the grapevine | OCTOBER 7, 2015

n a bag of long-forgotten 1960s


newspapers and magazines, part of a
recently unearthed collection of family keepsakes, there happened to be
the 65th Anniversary Edition of the
Atlantic City Steel Pier Souvenir Program.
At the time it was issued, this 25-cent publication served as a guide to the acts and
events that appeared at The Show Place of
the Nation during the summer of 1962, but
today it tells a story that only a time capsule can tell.
Opening the program, the reader is
immediately presented with a list of performers appearing that summer, divided
conveniently into either a Vaudeville or
Orchestra category. By todays definitions, only several of the acts, like Phyllis
Diller and Rudy Vallee, might qualify as
true vaudevillians.
Most of the singers listed were part of
the second, safer wave of rocknroll that
had replaced icons like Elvis Presley, who
had been drafted; Chuck Berry, who had
been incarcerated; Little Richard, who had
joined the ministry; and Buddy Holly, who
had died tragically in a plane crash. The
replacements were performers like Dion,
Chubby Checker, James Darren, Bobby
Rydell and Neil Sedaka, all of whom graced
the stage of the recently renovated Marine
Ballroom located at the end of the pier, a
half-mile into the Atlantic Ocean, or Music
Hall Theater. These acts were a tamer version of their predecessors, singing rocknroll without the screams and suggestive
gyrations that accompanied the performances of the first wave.
The only act that summer from the earliest days of rocknroll was the Everly
Brothers, who brought their hits and harmonies to the Steel Pier during the week of
August 12 to 18. By this point, Don and Phil
had already turned toward their country
roots, having released their classic album
Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, which has
been recently reinterpreted on the CD
Foreverly by Green Days Billy Joe
Armstrong and Norah Jones.
One of the earliest shows that summer
featured Ricky Nelson for a two-day stand
in the Marine Ballroom. In a program
photo probably taken at the Steel Pier the
year before, Nelson is seen onstage with his
backing band, which included guitar great
James Burton, looking out on the ballroom

filled to capacity with


standing fans. Nelsons
career would transcend
his teen idol years and
embrace a country sound that propelled
him back into the charts the next decade.
The Orchestras that appeared at the
Steel Pier in 1962 included big bands led by
Gene Krupa, Maynard Ferguson and Stan
Kenton. The Glenn Miller Orchestra under
the direction of Ray McKinley also performed, but by this point big bands had
witnessed the peak of their popularity over
a decade earlier and would fade as the
1960s wore on.
Current films always filled two of the
Steel Piers venues and during the week of
July 30 The Tartars starring Victor Mature
and Orson Welles played in the Casino
Theatre from 10 a.m. until midnight while
War Hunt, Robert Redfords first credited
movie, could be seen in the Music Hall
Theatre from noon until midnight.
That same week the Lennon Sisters,
stars of TVs The Lawrence Welk Show,
were performing four shows a day at the
Steel Pier, the first at 1:40 and the last at
9:35. This might be the best illustration of
how times have changed in the entertainment world. No established act today
would accept as rigorous a schedule as that.
It was in 1962 that Summertime on the
Steel Pier, the locally televised two-hour
weekend show, premiered. Hosted by Ed
Hurst, Atlantic Citys version of American
Bandstand featured hit records and guest
appearances by certain Steel Pier acts.
The program had its start on June 24,
1962, and was scheduled for 10 episodes
that summer.
Long before American Idol began churning out its cast of cookie-cutter contestants,
the Steel Piers Tony Grants Stars of
Tomorrow devoted itself to the development of child talent. Grant continued to
offer his discoveries in 1962 after already
having featured Connie Francis and
Frankie Avalon, whose grandmother, by the
way, was a resident of Hammonton.
And the popular diving horse completed this entertainment package that defines
an era only two years away from the
arrival of the Beatles, who initially would
be booked to play the Steel Pier before
high ticket demands relocated them to
Convention Hall. I

Hank Sauce was founded by three
college roommatesBrian Hank
Ruxton, Matt Pattaluga and Josh
Jaspanwho shared a passion for the
ocean and a do-it-yourself, entrepreneurial attitude. In a few short years,
what started out as friends having fun
packaging and labeling sauce made as
a hobby has turned into a booming
product line in high demand and Sea

Whos Your Hero?


Inspired by someone who has made our
community a better place to live and
work? Heroes can be found in every walk
of life, in every neighborhoodeveryday.

It was all hands on deck as the New


Jersey Clean Communities Council
(NJCCC) literally cleaned up in terms
of trash on International Coastal Cleanup
Day. While volunteers focused their
efforts in Margate and Mays Landing
that day, they kicked off a larger effort to
continue through the end of this year.
We expect more than 5,000 volunteers to hit beaches through December
31," says NJCCC Executive Director
Sandy Huber. This is the fifth year weve
participated in this effort and encouraged NJ residents of all ages to lend a
hand. Its vitally important to the health
of our waterways, as well as to the many
living creatures that call them home.
One local volunteer effort involved the
members and leaders of Boy Scout
Troop 4 from Millville. Led by representatives from the Cumberland County Improvement Authority (CCIA), the scouts
spent the weekend cleaning, canoeing and camping. With home base at the
Winding River Campground in Mays Landing, the scouts took to the Great Egg
Harbor River where they spent six hours removing trash and debris.
They did a great job collecting 20 large bags of trash, removing three pallets,
an inner tube and a 12 X 12 floating dock from the river and riverbanks, said
Tony Riviera, CCIA Director of Recycling and Enforcement. Winding River
Campground supported the effort by donating four campsites, all the canoes,
kayaks, life vests and transportation. The kids also had the chance to watch the NJ
Clean Communities Certification graduation. It was a great experience that we
hope will stay with them always, he continued.
Clean Communities in Cumberland County is managed by the CCIA. For more
information on how you can participate, visit CCIA-net.com or NJClean.org or contact
Tony Riviera, Director of Recycling and Enforcement at 856-825-3700, ext. 2010.

Softball Game Highlights


National Rehabilitation Week
Teams of therapists and staff members from
HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Vineland
and Inspira Rehab Care went head-to-head
recently in a neighborly softball game as part of
National Rehabilitation Week celebrations.
Assemblyman Sgt. Robert Andrzejczak was present to throw the first pitch at the game, which is
free of charge and open the community.
Our staff enjoys being part of our patients
rehabilitation journeys, says Matt Ferro,
HealthSouth Vineland director of therapy operations. Since we work together as a team in our
hospitals to provide comprehensive care to our
patients, we figured it would be fun to put our
teamwork to the test in a game of softball with
our friends at Inspira Rehab Care.
National Rehabilitation Week was established
in 1976 to create awareness of people with disabilities and promote the benefits of rehabilitation. This campaign also celebrates the therapists and other staff members that help patients
reach goals of independence after an injury or
debilitating illness.

6 Ways to Boost
Your Credit Score

entury Savings Bank is reminding consumers of the critical


impact credit scores can have
on their financial options.
Having a good credit report history is
important for almost anything you want to
do in life. If you plan to purchase a car or
a home, good credit goes a long way

toward securing a loan. Some potential


employers will also look at your credit history in order to determine how responsible you are before making a hiring decision. Building a strong credit history and
maintaining a high credit score, will help
you qualify for lower interest rates and
fees, freeing up additional money to set

aside for emergencies, retirement, and


other smaller unexpected expenses.
While building a healthy credit history,
consider the following tips:
1. Request a copy of your credit
report and make sure it is correct.
Your credit report illustrates your credit
performance and needs to be accurate so
that you can apply for loans or credit.
Everyone is entitled to receive a free copy
of his or her credit report annually from
each of the three credit reporting agencies, by visiting the Federal Trade
Commissions website at www.annualcreditreport.com, or call 1-877-322-8228.

your numerical credit score, however the


full credit report is available, free of
charge.
2. Set up automatic bill pay. Your payment history makes up 32 percent of your
VantageScore credit score and 35 percent
of your FICO credit score. The
VantageScore was created in collaboration
with the three major credit bureaus
(TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian) as a
new generic proprietary credit score
model that is said to give a more consistent interpretation and accurate score
than FICO. The more you pay your bills
on time, the better your score. Avoid
missed payments by setting as many of
your bills to automatic pay as possible.
3. Keep balances low on credit cards
and revolving credit. One of the major
factors in your credit score is how much
revolving credit you have versus how
much youre actually using. Racking up
big balances can hurt your credit score
regardless of whether you pay your bills in
full each month. You often can increase
your scores by limiting your charges to 30
percent or less of your cards limit.
4. Apply for and open new credit
accounts only as needed. Dont open
accounts just to have a better credit mix.
Keep this in mind the next time a retailer
offers you 10 percent off if you open an
account. However, if you do need to open
a line of credit, do some homework and
shop around. Compare rates and fees
offered through mail solicitation, on the
internet or at your local bank.
5. Dont close all old, paid off
accounts. Leave (good) old debt on your
report. Good debtdebt that youve handled well and paid as agreed is good for
your credit. Although it is generally considered a plus to have established credit
accounts, too many credit card accounts
may have a negative impact on your score.
In addition, many scoring systems consider the type of credit accounts you have.
The longer your history of good debt is,
the better it is for your score.
6. Talk to credit counselors if youre
in trouble. Using legitimate, non-profit
credit counseling can help you manage
your debt and wont hurt your credit
score. For more information on debt management, contact the National Foundation
for Consumer Credit at www.nfcc.org.
It takes time to improve credit scores.
There is no quick fix. Time is your ally in
improving your credit score. Taking good
care of your credit starts with making
wise credit decisions and developing
healthy credit habits. Focus on paying
your bills in a timely manner, paying down
any outstanding balances, and staying
away from new debt. Improving your
score will take patience and discipline, but
it can be done. Improve your credit, one
decision at a time. I

top restaurants and eateries as they offer
samples of their signature dishes. Well also

who we have named our Volunteers of the
YearJohn Pedersen and Jason Scythes.
In the past, we have held our Volunteer
Recognition Event in April as a brunch, but
I want to open this wonderful moment to
the entire community and showcase these
volunteers achievements and how they
are helping Main Street Vineland make our
city a better place to live and work. Let me
introduce you them:
John Pedersen and his wife Ellen have
been volunteers with Main Street
Vineland since our Main Street district
was established 10 years ago. Both have
served as chairpersons of our Design
Team. John has been one of the leading
forces in our Spring and Fall Clean-Up
and Planting Days, and he is also a leader
in our monthly Adopt-a-Block clean-up
days. Hes also a member of the Vineland
Environmental Commission, which is also
active in beautification initiatives.
Indeed, John doesnt need special
occasions to go out and clean up areas
downtown and elsewhereand to call
attention to Main Street Vinelandand to
the Cityof areas that need attention.
Hes truly a volunteer who goes above and
beyond the call of duty.
Born in Toledo, OH, John is a graduate
of Vineland High School and Drexel
University. A licensed architect in New
Jersey since 1987, he is also licensed in
Pennsylvania and Delaware. Since 1993, he
has been the owner of the firm of J.W.
Pedersen, Architect, P.C. here in Vineland.
Jason Scythes hasnt been part of Main
Street Vineland as long as John, but his
rise within Main Street Vineland has been
steady. Hes been the chairperson of Main
Street Vinelands Organization Team
since 2012, overseeing the teams
fundraising and membership recruitment
and retention efforts. The fundraising and
membership components of the A Taste

of Vineland event attest to Jasons hard


work and dedication.
Currently, Vice President and Business
Relationship Manager at Newfield National
Bank, hes been in the banking business
from the age of 19. He starting as a teller
with Minotola Bank and then serving as a
Financial Service Representative, Assistant
Branch Manager, and Branch Manager
there and at Susquehanna Bank. He then
served Susquehanna Bank as Vice
President Market Manager in the Vineland
Region before moving to Newfield National
Bank in his current position. Hes also a
graduate of the Maryland Bankers
Associations School of Banking.
Aside from Main Street Vineland, Jason
is active in other community and organizational activities, such as the Greater
Vineland Chamber of Commerce, the 2015
Vineland Jersey Fresh Festival
Committee, fundraising efforts for Elwyn
New Jersey, the Cumberland County
Inspira Foundation Auxiliary, and as a
member of the Human Resource
Association of Southern New Jersey.
(If that werent enough, he also serves as
a volunteer firefighter, Emergency Medical
Technician, and president for Rosenhayn
(NJ) Volunteer Fire and Rescue.

One of five Vineland High School seniors will be


named "Miss Monogram" and reign over the annual
Homecoming Day football game when VHS hosts Atlantic
City this Saturday October 10 at Gittone Stadium.
Kickoff for the afternoon game is 2 p.m. following a
parade down Landis Avenue, a tradition brought back
last year.
The new queen, selected by voting in senior homerooms recently, will be announced at halftime of the
game
The finalists are (pictured from top to bottom at left):
Tumelo Nwanma, Melanie Milam, Olivia Messore,
Tiffany Cross, and Niyah Cosme.
Nwanma is the daughter of Sephoko Nwanma. She
moved to America when she was 12 years old, and has
two younger sisters. She is a member of the field hockey team and loves to throw the javelin. Her favorite
color is blue and her favorite food is sushi.
Milam is the daughter of Karen and Matthew Milam.
She has been an honors and AP student all four years
of high school. She is a member of the varsity soccer
and swim teams, vice president of the VHS Select Choir,
and a Girl Scot currently working to complete her Gold
Award, comparable to an Eagle Scount. In her spare time
she enjoys hanging out with her family and friends.
Messore is the daughter of Dawn and Mark Messore.
She has been a swimmer for 14 years, and has been a
member of the varsity swim team all four years of high
school. In her spare time she enjoys swimming, doing
schoolwork, working two jobs or spending time with her
friends. Her true passion is the ocean and the beach.
She plans to go to college and study engineering.
Cross is the daughter of Desrene Cross and
Wismond Brissett. She is an honors student taking AP
classes, as well as a member of the cheerleading
squad. She hopes to pursue a college degree after high
school and become a nurse practitioner.
Cosme is the daughter of Lorraine and Aaron Dickel.
She is an AP student and works part time at Red
Lobster. She is a member of several clubs and teams,
including concert band, Wizardry 101, National Honor
Society, cross country and track and field. She currently
holds the freshman and sophomore records for javelin
at VHS and gained the title of All-Conference for javelin
the past two years. She plans to attend college, and has
her sights set on the University of Pennsylvania.
All seeking the title had to meet the following criteria:
Member of the Monogram Club;
Varsity letter (sports or band);
Minimum 2.5 grade-point average;
No suspensions; and
Not on any ineligible list
The field was narrowed to five finalists after judging
by a panel of seven teachers based on appearance,
poise, speech (confidence, eye contact and correct
grammar) and quality of response to questions the
contestants received in advance, said the advisors.
The Homecoming Event is sponsored by the VHS
Monogram Club, established in 1950 by the late
Anthony DiTomo, VHS Athletic Director at that time.
The halftime ceremonies to honor this years Miss
Monogram contestants and escorts will be presented by the Marching Clan band,
directed by William McDevitt.

Students Learn About the Science of a Vortex


Students in Ms. Rhonda Hennessys sixth grade
science class at Veterans Memorial School created
individual tornado simulators using two 2-liter bottles, a connector, beads, glitter, and water to create
a vortex.
The experiment allowed the students to study
and witness the affects of fluid dynamics where
the flow, much like a tornado, rotates around an
axis line that forms a vertical flow.
Students offered other examples of vortexes such as when water goes down a
drain and whirlpools that form in the ocean.

Pirate Day on September 18, reports Melanie Beck, principal.
We have a schoolwide initiative to encourage student engagement, boost creativity and energize teachers," said Beck. "We use Dave Burgess' Teach Like a

On September 18, Beck asked staff asked staff to dress like pirates and use
the strategies they learned.
"We also involved the students by asking them to accessorize their uniforms
with pirate like goodies," she said. "It was a huge success."

SAILING

Racing to Save the Bay

Continued from cover

the capacity is about 40.


During a recent visit, this reporter found
those young, professional crewmembers
exuding a good vibe. Some have college
degrees in maritime fields and come to the
Meerwald from locales throughout the east
and mid-west.
As passengers are lured to board the ship,
the mates and deckhands are lured to work
on it.
Its not like youre just part of a mindless
factory or fast food line; its like youre thinking and being a part of everything thats
going on, said second mate Seth Matthews
of Michigan. Plus, you have to be able physically to do what youre called upon to do.
Crewing the Meerwald is grueling work.
Plus, each crewmember must be an expert
educator on the Delaware Bay Estuary. Some
labor and inspire for the whole seven-month
season, sometimes living on the boat for
weeks at a time.
Ill be going home and sleeping for about
a month, Matthews said.
Much older volunteers play a role in running the ship. Some, like Dr. Nils Herdelin
(47 states) have travelled extensively and
learned a lot.

The Bayshore Center will host the regular Second Friday Event will on Friday,
October 9. The event includes a variety
of specials from The Oyster Cracker
Cafs 2nd Friday menu, including ratatouille, fish tacos, veggie sushi, apple
upside down muffins, and cookies. The
Raw Bar on the Wharf will also be open
to guests, serving raw oysters shucked
and steamed shrimp.
Guests can enjoy the Line of Carvers

2016, and will feature wild bird carvings
by J.P. Hand, Harry V. Shourds II, and
Hurley Conklin with additional hand carvings by George Strunk, Laurel Dabbs,

In addition to enjoying the Bayshore
environment, passengers can work, too, by
helping hoist the ships sails and feel what it
would have been like to operate the ship at
the peak of the oyster harvesting industry.
The Bayshore Center described the original Meerwald as a distinct vessel that evolved
Dave Billig, Cooper Rossner, and Heather
Lucadema.
J.P. Hand and his apprentices will also
provide a presentation at 6:30 p.m.,
which depicts the effort involved in decoy
carving and how they are working to
keep this art form alive, while encouraging its continued progression.
Guests who bring their own pumpkin
will enjoy the Jack-o-lantern contest at 8
p.m. on the loading dock. The contest will
judge pumpkins in categories that include
scariest, funniest, and most creative.

fleet of schooners "Racing to Save the
Bay" October 15 and 16.
The 26th annual race begins in
Baltimore, Maryland, and ends 127 nautical miles down the Chesapeake Bay in
Portsmouth, Virginia. More than 30
schooner-rigged vessels are registered
as of press time.
The Race is preceded by a Parade of
Sail and other festivities in Baltimore,
and is followed by an oyster and pig
roast, awards ceremony, and other programs in Virginia.
The Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner
Race was founded to promote public
awareness of the Chesapeake Bay's
maritime heritage and encourage the
preservation and improvement of the
Chesapeake's natural resources.
In addition to the overall festivities
and the challenge of the race, the event
has an education-based component. In
both Maryland and Virginia, the
Meerwald crew will be presenting a
series of dockside educational programs
to local school groups.
In addition to her crew and volunteers,
the Meerwald can take up to 12 passengers along who will help to sail the ship
and attend all the race festivities.
Passengers can board the ship in
Bivalve on October 12 for the sail to
Baltimore and all Baltimore events;
board in Baltimore on October 14 for the
Baltimore events, the Race, and all
Portsmouth events; or board in
Portsmouth on October 17 for the postrace events and the return trip to Bivalve
NJ; or any combination. M.B.

HOME IMPROVEMENT
Clues in the Attic: PreWinter Roof Checkups
Made Easy
Got your attention, huh? Seriously,
this is one of the two times each year
when homeowners are supposed to
check the health of their roofs. (Among
other reasons, because theyre key to a
homes energy efficiency.) But who wants
to be climbing a ladder 25 feet or so into
the sky when the weather is turning
sharply colder and nastier?
Thats where your attic comes in.
According to Jason Joplin, program
manager of the Center for the
Advancement of Roofing Excellence, that
space youre probably using mainly for
storage can substitute, as a fallback, for
the eyeball roof check normally recommended to be done every pre-winter and

spring.
Roofs actually create an insulated
barrier that helps trap heat inside, and
most attic spaces are located right below
them, says Joplin. That makes them
perfect for spotting potential problem
areas and damage without worrying
about falling off a ladder.
Heres what to look for while up
there:
Water leaks. As sure as Tom Brady
will never be a fave among Deflategated
Indianapolis Colts fans, it will soon
storm. And when it does, shine a flashlight up in the attic to check not only for
dripping water and condensation, but
also for water stains on the ceiling, walls
and floors. All signal that H2O is finding
its way beneath your roof s shingles or
behind its flashings.
Ventilation. Think of the attic as

Homebuyer Classes
Gateway Community Action
Partnership will be conducting
Homebuyer Education classes covering every aspect of the homebuying
process. The classes will be held on
two Saturdays, October 24 and 31
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Gateways
administrative office, 110 Cohansey
St., Bridgeton.
Each class will include three separate sessions. Week one topics
include Homeownership Orientation,
Budgeting 101/ Managing Your
Money, Pts. I & II, Understanding
and Fixing Credit.
Week two topics include
Mortgage Financing, Avoiding
Predatory Lenders, Fair Housing
Regulations, Home Maintenance &
Inspection and the Closing Process.
You must attend both sessions to
receive a certificate.
Those interested in the First
Time Home Buyer Program, USDA
funding, down payment assistance
or any other state-funded program
are required to take these classes.
Register by Friday, October 16.
Space is limited. Registrations can
be picked up at the Main Campus
office or by contacting Demetrica at

Your home's curb appeal could hinge on its roof. Make sure its not a turn-off to
potential buyers.

craves whats been described as that


quality that makes you say wow when
you first see it.
So, how to achieve it? Read on for some
of the best ideas from the pros.
Addresses arent just for mailboxes. Youll score points for originality by
painting each numeralin big, bold
strokeson separate flower-filled planters
placed near the front entrance. You
spruce up your landscape with plants, so
why not liven your home address the
same way? suggests Angies List.
Glam the front door. Painting it lipstick-red is in, for those who dare. For
those who dont, or whose houses arent a
neutral color, Forbes advises to try a
more muted shade like sea-blue, sage-

green, or even black.


Replace your roof. This is the biggie,
given Better Homes and Gardens oftcited calculation that 40 percent of a
homes curb appeal hinges on the condition of the roof. Now, you may be only
slightly embarrassed by your neighbors
not-so-subtle hints that yours looks like
its been hit by a drone. But if youre even
toying with the idea of selling and thats
the first thing potential buyers see from a
distance?
Its a huge turn-off, and only makes
them predisposed to find even more
things they hate about the house, says
Patsy ONeill, a sales associate with
Sothebys in Montclair, New Jersey.
Pressure time. If you think of it as

water pistols for adults, using a garden


hose (set to max) to blast away dirt and
debris from your property can actually be
fun. But as HGTV cautions: Be careful
not to dislodge, or get any water underneath, your homes siding.

to keep your stuff while you go out and


get more stuff.
The problem is that stuff creates a
mess, and most people also like to be neat
and organized. Unfortunately, the two
concepts do not necessarily align, which is
why companies like The Container Store
boast close to billion-dollar bottom lines.
And when you have kids?
Fugehdaboutit. The potential for messiness multiplies tenfold.
For those wannabe organized families
who would like to declutter (or at least
keep the detritus at bay), look no further
than the tips below:
Buy bins. These plastic tubs can be a
godsend for parents whose kids either
refuse to throw (or give) anything away, or
who want to try and teach their kids to
organize their things at an early age. It
keeps the mess to a minimum and makes
cleaning simple for both parents and children.
Cue the cubbies. These three-drawer organizers can be stored in the closet,
dont take up much room and allow kids
to store odds and ends that might otherwise be everywhere but their bedroom.
Have an in box. A parent of any
school-age child knows the amount of

Preparing Your Pond for


the Winter
Fall is here and winter is right
around the corner, so it is time to
start taking measures to close your
pond for the winter. Here are a few
tips on things that you should do to
prepare your pond and fish for the
winter months.
Switch to a fall food for your
fish. Fall food is high in carbs, which
help build up fat in the fish. This is
what they live off of during hibernation in the winter months
Start adding cold water bacteria
to the pond. As the pond water cools
down, most bacteria in your filter will
start dying off. The cold water bacteria will continue to live and keep
your filter in proper operation.
Net the pond before the leaves
start falling. This will prevent a large
buildup of debris in the bottom of
the pond. This debris is very harmful to fish once the pond is frozen
over.
Install an Air Pump. This will
keep a hole open in the ice and also
push the toxic gases up and out of
the pond. You can also use a heater
to keep a hole open but the Air
Pump is much more cost effective
and can be used year-round.
Finally, once the fish stop eating
you should continue running your filter system for one to two weeks
before shutting pond completely
down.

FALL GUIDE FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT |

A well-maintained roof is your first


defense to help ensure a secure and
worry-free property. These tips for
maintaining your buildings roof can
help save you untold time and
expense.
Proactive inspection and repair
roof inspection and consistent maintenance are critical in maximizing a
roofs lifespan and should typically
be done on bi-yearly basis.
J. Wilhelm Roofing Co. recommends at least two roof inspections
every yearone in spring and one in
fall after the extreme weather of
summer and winter. Additionally, it is
recommended that you have your
roof inspected after any damage,
such as construction, fire, or a serious storm.
These simple monthly tasks will
protect you in the long run.
1. Take routine photos so you can
easily monitor any roof changes.
2. Have a disaster plan. Who will
you call the moment something goes
wrong? When it comes to your roof,
the damage can increase exponentially with every moment lost.
3. Be conscious of whos up there.
Its been shown that approximately
40 percent of all roof problems occur
because of human error. For example, workers going on your roof for
HVAC repair can unknowingly cause
damage.

ideas and pictures from magazines to


keep you inspired.
Cover it up. One word: plastic. No,
not credit cards. Use it to cover all heavy
furniture that cant be moved from the
room. This will prevent dust and debris
from getting into the cracks and crevices
and keep the finish on the furniture looking shiny.
Keep a list. No matter how good
your memory, things are going to fall
through the cracks. Hanging a clipboard
on a nail in the area you are working in
will help you to stay on task about people
you need to contact, or things you need
to do or buy for the next day.
Have a place for everything. If
youre doing the remodel yourself, there
is going to be a certain amount of chaos
and upheaval. One thing that will help
reduce your stress level is keeping your
tools in one place. Create a space, such as
a table, where all small tools are kept.
The larger tools can sit on the floor
under the table. Every time youre finished with a tool, put it back.

Reduce Glare on All Screens
Brent Protzman, manager of energy
information and analytics for Lutron
Electronics Company Inc., says Lutron
conducts extensive research to determine
how lighting and shading controls influence visual entertainment. Often, people
like to check their fantasy football teams
or catch highlights on their laptop, tablet
or smartphone while still watching the
game on TV.
Protzman says, Glare from the amount of

devices. The trick is to lower shades and dim

sultant for the ALA and an associate professor at the University of Kentuckys
School of Interiors and College of Design.
Rey-Barreau says, Using different lighting
layers is always the best option for media
rooms. A single lighting layer could be fixtures that are of the same type. For example, he explains, one layer could be
recessed lighting in the media room, another layer could be wall sconces, a third layer
could be an integrated architectural lighting system such as a cove or niche.
Adding three layers of light, along with
dimmers, gives homeowners the maximum level of control with their lighting,

which effectively illuminates the room


without too much glare.
Dim the Light to Your Personal
Preference
Light fixtures, such as pendants and
glass globes tend to create bright spots in
a room, which can be problematic for
viewing television screens with direct
glare and reflections on the glass. To create the perfect viewing atmosphere,
Protzman suggests dimming light fixtures
to a very low level. Your eyes will be able
to quickly adjust and adapt to the changes
in light levels, he says.

Maintenance
GET YOURS TODAY!

FACT
There is no such thing as a maintenance-free roof
(regardless of the length of your warranty).
No other single building component is more
critical to the smooth operation of your business.
Potential losses resulting from a failed roof
system are staggering.

HOME IMPROVEMENT
According to Protzman, people tend to
perceive smaller decreases in light level
than what really changes. This means if
you dim a light by what seems to be 30 percent in brightness, you will actually reduce
the light level by as much as 90 percent.
Not only do light dimmers allow you to create a media space to your liking, but, as an
added bonus, they save energy as well.
To receive the best product selection
and professional expertise, visit your local
ALA-member retailer for media room
lighting options.

Wilhelm Roofing promises comprehensive and


lasting solutions to your roofing needs.
We have the experience to get the job done right.

Our Preventive maintenance program will


extend and maximize the life of your roof,
save money on overall roof maintenance,
while adhering to manufacturer warranty
requirements.

needs.

PROTECTIVE LEAK PROOF
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

TIPS
Building owner should check the following
maintenance items regularly:
Drainage: Drain areas should be kept clean to
prevent clogging that will result in areas of ponding
water on the roof.
Petroleum products: These products (greases,
solvents, oils, and liquids containing petroleum
products) can contribute to membrane degradation.
Catch pans should be installed in areas where these
products are vented onto the roof surface.
Rooftop HVAC must be serviced regularly.
Walkways should be used when moving back and
forth from these units. Exercise caution with tools and
equipment to prevent punctures in the roof surface.

Prevent Water Damage


and Cut Insurance Costs
Water damage is the second most
common reason for homeowners to file
claims with their insurance companies;
only home fires are associated with more
damage and more claims. Water damage
can stem from a variety of sources,
including leaking water heaters, ruptured
washing machine hoses, leaky pipes and
failed plumbing systems. These leaks can
cause flooding that can stain ceilings,
warp floors and destroy personal proper-

Lawn and Garden Tips


By Jaron Weaver, WEAVERS EQUIPMENT SALES &
SERVICE
The name of the season is fall, not fail. But failure
can loom with your lawn and gardenand the tools you
use to care for themonce the air turns brisk and leaves
turn from green to a cornucopia of autumn hues. With the
winter season approaching, now is the time to perform
equipment maintenance and give your lawn some special
care before temperatures plummet and winter grabs hold.
Here are a few must-dos.
Aeration: In most parts of the country where warmweather grasses prevail, fall is the perfect time to aerate
your lawn. This is especially true in yards that receive
heavy foot traffic throughout the summer. The simple aeration processpunching holes through the grass thatch
layeris vital to maintaining a healthy lawn, because it
allows water, air and nutrients to more easily reach the
root system.
You can tell when a lawn does not get aerated regularly.
It grows slower, has more shallow root systems and is
much more susceptible to insects and disease. Aeration
brings more oxygen into the lawn, which helps break down
the thatch that forms over the summerthus allowing the
lawn to absorb more water. And once aeration is performed, the time is right to re-seed patchy areas so they
will be thick and green by spring.
Two types of equipment are typically used for aerationeither a spike aerator, which punches holes in the
sod; or a plug aerator, which removes small plugs of soil
from the lawn. Both can be effective; check with your local
lawn and garden expert to make the right choice for your

ty anywhere in the home.


Another consequence of leaks and
water damage is mold. Indoor mold is an
additional source of damage that, according to the Insurance Information Institute,
costs the average homeowner $3,000 to
$4,000; while water damage combined
with mold yields homeowner insurance
claims ranging from $15,000 to $30,000.
Mold can damage walls, stain ceilings,
ruin carpeting and damage home ventilation systems.
Mold also has the potential to damage
personal items, including personal electronics, clothing with sentimental value
(such as a wedding dress) and fine art.
Not only is mold almost impossible to
remove, it contributes to poor air quality
in the home, which can cause health
problems for homeowners with allergies
or asthma. Even non-allergic individuals
may experience skin and eye irritation or
respiratory problems in moldy environments. Although visible mold can be

grass variety, soil type and geography.


Aerators can be rented, but you may want to purchase
one if your lawn needs more frequent aeration. Husqvarna
offers several types of compact, easy-to-use and ergonomically designed aerators that are engine-powered or towable.
Maintenance: The change of seasons is the perfect time
to make necessary adjustments to your mower, trimmer,
chainsaw or other lawn/garden equipment. First, thoroughly inspect for worn out or loose parts, as well as
missing screws and bolts. Make sure all safety features
are working properly.
Dont forget to replace worn belts, sharpen dull blades
and replace the spark plugs (in two-cycle engines). For
four-cycle engines, check the oil and change it at least
annually.
Before beginning maintenance or repairs, be sure to
reference your owners manual for instructions, or consult
with your local lawn and garden equipment servicing dealer for advice.
Fuel for Fall and Winter: Realize that any fuel you
purchase in the fall and winter will be winter-blended
gas, which has more oxygen in it for easier starting in cold
weather. This is especially effective for two-cycle engines,
which are most sensitive to colder temperatures.
But because winter-blended fuel has more oxygen, it
vaporizes faster than summer gasand generates less
energy. So, it may burn faster, causing the engine to generate more RPMs to supply enough power. To prevent
engine fatigue, check your equipment regularly in cold
weather months and perhaps throttle it down a bit to
compensate for higher RPMs.

cleaned from walls, and moldy rugs can
be replaced, homeowners with mold
problems must consider how to reduce or
control the moisture content in the home.
An automatic water shut-off system
can help stop mold before it starts by
identifying leaks before they lead to
major water damage. Some systems act as
a circuit breaker for home plumbing,
shutting off the water when it detects a
leak, whether it is a pinhole leak, running
faucet or malfunctioning appliance causing a flood. Such a system will automatically shut off the water and may alert the
homeowner with an alarm so the leak
can be identified and repaired as soon as

Some homeowners insurance companies recognize the benefits of such systems and may offer discounts to homeowners who install devices to protect
against water damage.

Program Thermostats for


Energy Savings, Comfort
From smart phones to programmable
thermostats, todays electronics come
equipped with advanced operating systems that make life easier and more efficient. The challenge is knowing how to
take full advantage of the capabilities of

these devices.
Consider indoor environment devices
like programmable thermostats.
Programmable thermostats are capable of
controlling the entire heating, ventilation
and air conditioning (HVAC) system
from heating to indoor air quality and
energy management.
Adjusting the temperature up and
down doesnt equate to savings or even
comfort in the home, said Jonathan
Payne, product manager of programmable controls at Carrier. The key to total
comfort is the homeowners ability to
control the temperature, humidity, air
circulation and energy use.
Although many homes have programmable thermostats, they may not be programmed or used properly. To truly realize the advantages of a programmable
thermostat, consider these tips:
1. Choose a thermostat that manages your system properly and efficiently. Select a thermostat that is not
only easy for you to understand and program, but one that controls all of the
equipment in your HVAC system, including an air purifier, humidifier, air conditioner, furnace and/or heat pump.
2. Have the HVAC control or thermostat installed by a HVAC expert to ensure
the wiring and settings are configured to
match the needs of your specific system.
3. Choose a program that fits well
with your lifestyle, and stick with it.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17
Harvest Day Celebration: Ideas for Home & Garden

According to the Environmental


Protection Agency (EPA), energy can be
saved if you keep energy-saving set
points activated for longer timeframes.
So, you could leave home energy-saving
set points on during the work/school day,
or at night when family members are
asleep, for instance.
4. Avoid overuse of the temporary
hold feature. If you consistently
hold or over-ride the pre-programmed
settings, you could be wasting energy.
The EPA suggests that the hold and
vacation settings should be set several
degrees warmer and cooler in the summer and winter months, respectively, and
only used when youre away from home
for an extended stay.
5. Try not to achieve a quick fix. The
EPAs Proper Use Guidelines for
Programmable Controls indicates that
you will not heat or cool your house
faster by adjusting the temperature on
your thermostat to the extremesup to
80 degrees or down to 30 degrees. I

2015 International Film


Fest at Levoy Theatre
Enjoy four highly-acclaimed
award-winning recent foreign
films at the 2015 International
Film Festival, starting Sunday,
October 11, at the Levoy Theatre,
126-130 N. High St., Millville.
The festival, which runs
through October 21, is presented
by Jewish Federation of
Cumberland, Gloucester &
Salem Counties. Major sponsors
are Rone Funeral Service, Sir Speedy Printing and Marketing Services, and the Silver
family. (All films are rated PG-13.)
The four filmsFlix and Meira, Bogowie, The Jewish Cardinal, and The Great
Beautywill introduce the theatergoer to themes that are common to Jewish and
other international themes. They are representative of the finest of todays foreign
cinematographic art.
Our films this year come from Canada, Poland, and Italy and are an opportunity
for the Jewish Federation to provide an artistic program for the entire community,
said Jewish Federation Executive Director Steven Schimmel. Society can be looked
at through a special vantage point through films, and foreign films can do this in an
extra special, artistic way. Films dealing with a different culture than ours can present a unique take on universal problems and situations.
We are gratified over the reception that the Jewish Film Festival received the past
seven years, Schimmel said. To present it at the Levoy Theatre again this year, continuing the modified, expanded concept we started two years ago, is very exciting.
Tickets are $8 for adults for one film, $15 for two films, $20 for three films, and
$25 for all four films. Admission is free to students under 21 with proper identification.
Only students who meet the guidelines of the Motion Picture Association of America
will be admitted free. Tickets are available through Jewish Federation at (856) 6964445 or may be purchased immediately prior to each film at the Levoy Theatre.
Tickets are available at $40 per person for a combination dinner/movie package
for the movie presentations on Wednesday, October 14 and October 21. Enjoy a dinner at Andrea Trattoria Italiana, 16 N. High St., in Millville, at 5:15 p.m. and then the
movie at 7 p.m. Dinner will consist of a salad, main course, dessert, and coffee or
tea. Gratuity is extra. Call Jewish Federation for reservations. Opening night will be
preceded by a wine reception at the theater at 5 p.m., followed by the movie at 7
p.m. Tickets for the opening night wine reception/movie package are $36 per person
and can be purchased by calling Jewish Federation.
For more information, contact Jewish Federation of Cumberland, Gloucester &
Salem Counties at 856-696-4445 or act@jewishcumberland.org.

SOUTHERN NEW JERSEYS BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS NEWSLETTER Serving Cumberland, Salem, Atlantic, Cape May and Gloucester Counties

Future Looks Bright

GVCC members hear about brimming Industrial Parks, retail projects, Landis Ave.

he Greater Vineland Chamber of


Commerce held its first General
Membership Luncheon of the season on Thursday, September 17 at Ramada
of Vineland. A crowd of GVCC members
gathered to hear Vineland Director of
Economic Development and Redevelopment
Sandy Forosisky speak about Industrial
Park development as well as projects along
Landis Avenue and other areas of Vineland.
The last few years have been a challenge,
but Vineland is on the cusp of exciting
times, Forosisky said, with the UEZ pipeline
resulting in healthy industrial parks.
The problem is going to be land, she
said, and not running out of it. She ticked
off a long list of Industrial Park businesses
planning to expand, including Bridor,
Mamacita, Allied States, as well as
Cornings plans to build a new facility.
Bridor is ready for its next phase and has
plans to double every five years, she said.
The 1985 UEZ loan portfolio, which
Forosisky credited to her predecessors, is
key: No other UEZ thought to do that,
she noted. We live off the interest.
With the UEZ tax break, industries dont
pay tax on energy, which is a big incentive
that Vineland can offer businesses.
Forosisky then shifted her discussion to
Landis Avenue: As goes the downtown,
so goes the town. If the downtown looks

tired, old and in distress, the city is likely


in distress.
She also noted that if you have no failure, you have no success.
The restaurant at Landis Theater has
two potential tenants, one really strong,
she reported.
She also noted that at the Landis
MarketPlace, there are ideas to repurpose,
because when you invest in real estate,
you still have nice properties as opposed
to blight, so the downtown remains
attractive to incoming businesses.
Theres a sales agreement for Travel
Inn, Forosisky said, and she believes next
year that block will be redeveloped.
The next focus is West Landis Avenue,
where theres some retail going on, but the
best leads come from existing businesses,
she told the group of business owners.
The former Newcomb Hospital building

Sandy Forosisky, Vinelands director of


Economic Development and
Redevelopment, spoke to GVCC members.

will have independent and assisted living


quarters with a focus on Alzheimers
patientstwo new buildings of 70 units
each and another housing about 65. Health
education will be housed in the west wing.
Potential incoming businesses look at
workforce before incentives, and Vineland
has not matched up in a few cases, she said.
Forosisky is also chair of the GVCC s
Image Committee. She and GVCC
Executive Director Dawn Hunter spent
some time discussing Vinelands image
and how to improve it. With the current
focus on trash, they promised we would
be hearing more about keeping the city
clean and asked GVCC members to pitch
in and encourage others.

one of the grant recipients awarded by the Drug-Free Communities Support Program. They

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland & Salem Counties received two major awards
from Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and the National Leadership Council at the 2015
National Conference in Philadelphia. They were awarded Board of the Year in the small
agency size category, honoring the hard work of the dedicated individuals who gave selflessly of their time and talents to improving the lives of children through mentorship.
In addition, our local chapter was awarded the Pinnacle Award, given to affiliates that
exemplify the characteristics of a successful and effective Big Brothers Big Sisters agency
delivering results that ultimately impact the entire community.
Recently, Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno visited BBBS in Vineland and recognized these
awards with a certificate. More importantly she met with some current matches of the program and heard first-hand testimony as to why the BBBS mentoring programs work.

Film Production Selected to


Participate in 2015 Baseball
Film Festival

{ C 4 } GREATER VINELAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

When it comes to baseball, South


Jersey has a long history of winning
streaks. SNJ Today has just announced
that a historical documentary it produced
was selected for participation in 2015
Baseball Film Festival. Narrated by legendary Phillies announcer Chris Wheeler,
The Bridgeton Invitation: Americas
Most Innovative Baseball Tournament,
chronicles the history of the tournament
from inception to present day. The festival
was held at the National Baseball Hall of

LEFT: Pictured with guests are Ben Lynch


(l) and Jerry Alden (r), the two original
founders of the tournament.
ABOVE: Featured in the film is David
Hitchner, who has been with the tournament since its start in 1967. Hitchner served
as a coach, manager, pressbox volunteer
on the clock, scoreboard volunteer, and PA
announcer. He is now in charge of guests
and activities for the annual tournament.

Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY,


September 25 through 27.
Set at Alden Field in Bridgeton, the
documentary tells the story of how a
small town tournament made a national
impact on Americas baseball landscape,
said Kevin Malone, producer and director. The designated hitter rule has roots
on Alden Field, as do some of the timing
rules that keep the game on pace today.
The story of the tournament includes
first-hand accounts of the people who
started it nearly 50 years ago, as well as
those who still keep it going. Its a touching account of the early days of baseball
and makes you feel proud to live in the
place where it all happened.
The documentary was produced by
multi-media production company,
Glasstown Productions, a sister company
to SNJ Today.
You can view the entire documentary
on the SNJ Today website at: snj.ensemblevideo.com/Watch/hzOs2mUik0qmCY
