THANK A VETERAN TODAY; BE GRATEFUL EVERYDAY. VETERANS DAY IS NOVEMBER 11

Connected by History
T

WWII veterans Walter Kocielski and Harold Stony Stahlberger, both


from Millville, met at Veterans Appreciation Day 2014. Kocielski was a
Marine who was at the Battle of Iwo Jima and Stahlberger is an Army
veteran who served with the 10th Armored Division in Europe.

he Millville Army Air Field Museum (MAAFM),


along with area high school students and community
groups, will pay tribute to our nations veterans this
Saturday, November 7, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the
Museums 14th annual Veterans Appreciation Day at
Millville Airport. All veterans are invited to attend and be
honored. The event is free of charge and open to the public.
Each year we are proud to salute Americas veterans of
all wars at this unique commemorative ceremony at
Millville Airport, says Robert Trivellini, MAAFM vice
president and educational coordinator.
This year the Museum will feature a ceremony honoring
the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima, a major battle
of WWII in which US Marines landed on and eventually
captured the island from the Japanese Imperial Army. The
battle, which took place over five weeksFebruary 19
through March 26, 1945resulted in 26,000 US casualties
including 6,800 lives lost. The Japanese lost more than
18,000 lives from fighting or ritual suicide. Certainly this was
a defining battle of the War in the Pacific during WWII.
The 2015 Veterans Appreciation Day ceremony will feature
guest speaker WWII Veteran Walter Kocielski, of Millville,
who fought on Iwo Jima, where he was involved in and witness to some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting of the war.
Only six of the 56 men in his unit survived the first week.
We are very honored to have Walter Kocielski speak
and to hear first hand about his experience and the stories
of others who made the ultimate sacrifice, continues
Trivellini. This is a very special presentation for all of our
veterans and guests.
The Museum expects several other area WWII veterans
to attend, and veterans of all American conflicts are invited
and encouraged to be part of this special day. Keeping with
tradition, the event will also feature student re-enactors and
youth members of the civil air patrol.
The Museum is excited to have students from the

Code Blue
in Go Mode
Breakfast raises funds for warming
centers for homeless during winter

ast Wednesday morning (October 28,


2015) nearly 100 people attended a
$100-a-plate breakfast at the Ramada
Vineland to raise funds for the Cumberland
County Code Blue Coalition. That organization is dedicated to sheltering the countys
homeless population during harsh winter
months when temperatures dip below 32
degrees, prompting a Code Blue.
The Cumberland County Code Blue program began in Bridgeton, and expanded to
Vineland and Millville last year. Warming
Centers are housed in all three cities by
host churches on a rotating basis from 6
p.m. to 6 a.m.
Code Blue is funded by community contributions made to its fundraising arm, the
M25 Initiative. Donations and volunteers
are needed to operate the program during
the 2015-2016 winter season. To learn more
about the program and about how you can

he dark days are here ... and no


Im not talking about the results
of yesterdays elections. Im talking about last weekends plunge
into darkness when we fell back off daylight savings time.
Not coincidentally, it also coincides with
our annual plunge into greed and begging.
I say not coincidentally because
Halloween used to be the approved day of
begging.
Costumed kids would traipse around the
neighborhood collecting bags of treats in
exchange for a plea of trick or treat.
Back in the day, we used to say help the
poor, but apparently that is no longer
politically correct.
Anyway, nowadays, Halloween just signals the beginning of the help the poor
season. Ive written about this before but
Im going to do it again because it just
bums me up.
Its not yet Halloween (as I write this)
but already our mailbox is stuffed with a
combination of slick advertising circulars
seeking our money to make someones life a
little happier Christmas morning when
they unwrap our gift or equally slick circulars seeking our money to fight (insert anyone of myriad good causes).
Come on.
It was bad enough that in our Buena
Vista neighborhood Halloween was held in
the middle of the afternoon the week
before the actual event. (Kudos to former
Vineland Mayor Bob Romano who, years
ago, restored the event to its rightful night.)
But now the merchandisers and the
charities have gotten in the act and almost
completely eliminated the Thanksgiving
holiday.
It used to be Black Fridayits only a
matter of time before someone somewhere
insists we refer to it as African American
Fridaybut now the darkness is upon us
before we even have a chance to enjoy that
extra hour of sleep.
Im a veteran, a Catholic, a cancer
patient and a senior. I havent asked for or
gotten any help from anyone.
Well make a small donation to Doctors
Without Borders but aside from that all of
our giving will remain local, especially the
Project Thanksgiving people (more about
that in a later column) .

If were a rich man ...


One of the local institutions I would
donate to is the YMCA.
Early this year I was struggling to try
and stay in some semblance of physical
shape. My treatments were wearing me out
and Id ruined my knees with years of running so even walking wasnt much of an
option.
A knee replacement was suggested but
Ive had enough stuff scraped or lasered
out of me over the last two years to put me
off any elective surgery.
Then someone at my doctors office told
me about the Ys Lifestrong program for
cancer patients. It included, I was told, a
three-month Y membership and enrollment in group classes for cancer patients.
Well, Im not much of a group guy but I
made inquiries. The Y people couldnt have
been nicer. I got a couple of free visits to try
out the pool and I took to it like the proverbial fish.
The new pool is spectacular and the
whole place is spotless. I havent (and probably wont) tried any of the other fitness
equipment but the swimming has kind of
reinvented me.
When you join, you get one of those
plastic bar code fobs (like at the supermarket of pharmacy) that you use to access the
locker rooms. You swipe it when you come
in and they can keep track of how you are
doing with your fitness.
The other day I stood there for several
minutes trying to swipe in with my ShopRite fob.
The desk lady who pointed out my mistake did it in a way that made me laugh
instead of feeling like a dope.
I get a good feeling when I go there and
it doesnt get much better than that.

Bad news this week on the food front.


Bacon and hot dogs are not good for you.
Sadly, for me, those are the two items at

I Jersey Reflections

{ BY VINCE FARINACCIO }

Ahead of His Time


Landis planned a Parkway reflecting the sumptuous
look of Europe in the City of Brotherly Love.

the grapevine { 11 }

In 1892, during Edwin Sydney Stuarts


term as Philadelphia mayor, Landis
stepped aside from the project, having
never successfully navigated the political
waters of the city to win the support he
needed. One of the deterrents of his plan
was the need for the city to acquire and
destroy approximately 1,300 buildings
that stood in the path of the parkway, and
opposition from citizens led, in turn, to
opposition from politicians.
According to Moss, proponents of
such a boulevard succeeded temporarily
in gaining political support for an 1892
refinement of the Landis scheme created
by James H. Windrim, the City director of
public worksWindrims plan called for a
160-foot-wide boulevard boldly sundering
the rigid grid of Philadelphia streets from
City Hall, across Logan Square, and on to
Fairmount Park. Then the scheme fell
afoul of Philadelphias notorious
Republican political machine
Cities in American Political History,
edited by Richard Dilworth, points out
that as with other major cities, what truly
ran Philadelphia during this period was a
corrupt political machine. In
Philadelphias case it was a Republican
machine. Political corruption was in fact
rife throughout Pennsylvania, and perhaps
the worst excess in the city [was] the thirty-year-long construction of Philadelphias
City Hall from 1871 to 1901 at the cost of
$24 million.
Its possible Landis ran into the
Republican machine as well during his
attempts, but by the time the parkway
project finally met approval in 1907 amid
continued debate, Landis name had
receded and would soon disappear from
the project altogether.
Yet his contribution, a design for a
boulevard completed without him in 1917,
demonstrates that his plans were the first
serious attempt at building such a grand
avenue.
At the citys 1926 Sesquicentennial
International Exhibition or Worlds Fair,
Vineland bestowed upon a representative
of Philadelphias mayor one of Landis
maps of the proposed parkway. If the
representative and the mayor actually
took a moment to examine it, they may
have been surprised to find it closely
resembled their relatively new grand
boulevard. I

nwilling to commit to any new


ventures in Vineland in 1884,
Charles K. Landis turned his
attention to designing a thoroughfare for Philadelphia. Envisioning a
roadway that would connect the citys
business and political center with
Fairmount Park, Landis planned a Grand
Boulevard or Parkway that would reflect
the sumptuous look of Europe in the City
of Brotherly Love.
The need for such an avenue did not
originate with Landis. As early as 1858,
the Philadelphia City Council had proposed the construction of two boulevards
that would run between the suburbs and
center city, but the plan, which included
the improvement of streets, never
advanced any further.
According to Historic Landmarks of
Philadelphia by Roger W. Moss, a proposal dating from 1871 argued that if the park
was truly to benefit the people of
Philadelphia, it must be brought within
reach of all. It must be connected with
Broad Street and with the centre of the
city by as short a route as possible; and the
avenues which lead to it must be made
elegant and attractive. Once again, this
was as far as the plan would get.
Using the 1871 proposal as inspiration,
Landis developed a design for just such a
boulevard that would resist the citys grid
structure and cut diagonally from the site
of the current City Hall to the southern
edge of Fairmount Park. The European
look he envisioned reflected the designs
from which he created Sea Isle City. But
Landis approach predated the 1893
Chicago Worlds Fair and its French neoclassical White City, a Beaux Arts setting
that would give birth to the City Beautiful
movement that would follow and provide
the initiative to complete Benjamin
Franklin Parkway. Landis was at least 10
years ahead of the movement when he
devised his parkway plan.
It appears, however, that Landis
efforts to sell the idea to the city did not
receive his full attention until late 1888
when a map illustrating the design of his
intended road began arriving in the mail
of businessmen and city leaders at the
start of 1889. For nearly three years,
Landis courted these Philadelphia connections in an attempt to earn the citys
approval for his plan.

president of marketing and communications. Great Clips salon owners and their
stylists are excited to extend this years
Veterans Day offer to as many veterans and
service members as possible and exceed
the 225,000 free haircuts provided in 2014.

On Wednesday, November 11, for the


15th consecutive year, Golden Corral will
once again thank thousands of active duty
and retired United States military personnel for their service with a free dinner buffet and beverage, while also raising donations for the DAV (Disabled American
Veterans). A tradition started 14 years ago
to celebrate our nations heroes, Golden
Corrals Military Appreciation Night has
served more than 4.4 million complimentary meals to military personnel and generated more than $10.2 million dollars in guest
contributions to support community-based
service initiatives for veterans.
The entire Golden Corral system is
very passionate about supporting our military service men and women, and we
believe thanking them with a free dinner
buffet is one way to show our immense
appreciation for their service to our country, said Lance Trenary, president and
CEO of Golden Corral. We are very honored to have raised more than $10.2 million
for the DAV over the years and look forward to adding to that total again this
year.
Golden Corral has enlisted Gary Sinise,
celebrated actor/humanitarian, and
Collective Soul, the platinum award-winning band, to record public service
announcements for Military Appreciation
Night.
This is the 11th year Ive had the pleasure to partner with Golden Corral in supporting our troops, past and present,
through Military Appreciation Night, said
Sinise. Im proud and happy to help raise
awareness for Golden Corral Military
Appreciation Night.
Golden Corral will serve free dinner
buffets with beverage from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
on November 11 to any person who is or
has served in a U.S. Military branch, including the National Guard and Reserves. State
and local DAV representatives will be onsite at all Golden Corral locations coordinating the collection of donations from customers. While only current and former military qualify for the free meal, everyone is
encouraged to come out and show support
for our veterans. For more information on
Military Appreciation Night, visit

I News in Brief

area on Nov. 11 get either a free haircut or a


free haircut card to redeem with proof of
military service through Dec. 31, 2015, at
any U.S. Great Clips salon.
Now in its third consecutive year, Great
Clips You Can Thank a Veteran promotion has provided nearly half a million free
haircuts for military members and vets.
Great Clips realizes there is no amount
of gratitude we can show to the men and
women who have served our country.
Giving them a great haircut is a simple, yet
meaningful, way to show appreciation for
everything our veterans and service members have done for us, says Great Clips
CEO Rhoda Olsen, whose husband is a
Vietnam veteran.

Online Financial
Safety Tips
Century Savings Bank offers consumers seven ways
to avoid online scams.

{ 20 } the grapevine | NOVEMBER 4, 2015

entury Savings Bank is informing the public of ways to protect


their financial information by
avoiding online scams. While
the internet has proven to be a great tool in
todays world, it is often used increasingly
to steal the identities and financial information of unsuspecting surfers, said Deborah
Holman, vice president of Marketing at
Century Savings Bank. Criminals use unsolicited e-mail messages, websites and social
networks to get access to sensitive information. The good news is that there are steps
that you can take to protect yourself against
such threats.
Here are a few tips to help avoid falling
victim to online scams.
1. Keep your computers and mobile
devices up to date. Having the latest security software, web browser, and operating
system are the best defenses against viruses, malware, and other online threats. Turn
on automatic updates so you receive the
newest fixes as they become available.
2. Set strong passwords. A strong password is at least eight characters in length
and includes a mixture of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
3. Watch out for phishing scams.
Phishing scams use fraudulent e-mails and
websites to trick users into disclosing private account or log-in information. Do not
click on links or open any attachments or
pop-up screens from sources you are not
familiar with. Forward phishing e-mails to
the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at
spam@uce.gov-and and to the company,
bank or organization impersonated in the
e-mail.
4. Keep personal information personal. Hackers can use social media profiles to
figure out your passwords and answer
those security questions in the password
reset tools. Lock down your privacy settings and avoid posting things like birthdays, addresses, mothers maiden name,
etc. Be wary of requests to connect from
people you do not know.

5. Secure your Internet connection.


Always protect your home wireless network with a password. When connecting to
public Wi-Fi networks, be cautious about
what information you are sending over it.
6. Shop safely. Before shopping online,
make sure the website uses secure technology. When you are at the checkout screen,
verify that the web address begins with
https. Also check to see if a tiny locked padlock symbol appears on the page.
7. Read the sites privacy policies.
Though long and complex, privacy policies
tell you how the site protects the personal
information it collects.
Always remember that personal diligence is the first line of defense for protecting your identity and your accounts from
theft and fraud. Be sure to monitor your
accounts often and check your credit
report annually. Enlist yourself today in the
cause of your personal protection! I

ragtime rhythms of Harlem and Tin Pan
Alley to the klezmer of the Lower East Side,

waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor songs and expansive anthems. A
truly unique and powerful portrait of

Multi Media for Today


SNJ Today promotes positive growth for region. { BY DEBORAH A. EIN }

Ken Pustizzi

Frank DiMauro

DiMauro likened the former vs. current


number of marketing options available to
businesses as the difference between
driving a car and an airplane. It was
noted that there are currently some 250
social media platforms.
Editor and Publisher of The Grapevine
Mike Epifanio spoke on what role the
print media plays at SNJ Today.
Director of Sales and Marketing Kevin
Pustizzi (in addition to Ken, Jr., one of two
Pustizzi sons working at SNJ Today) spoke
about Clearbridge Media and its capabilities for branding and design, content and
digital marketing, analytics, website
design, search engine optimization and
digital video.
We hire the experts, he said, and not
just for the digital approach, but theres
lots of traditional thats still relevant.
Video Production Manager Kevin
Malone discussed Glasstown Productions

Mike Epifanio

and TV airings, such as the nightly news


program, The Locker Room, and live
Election Night coverage on Channel 22.
Cara McCollum, SNJ Today news
anchor, told the GVCC members about
how she studied print journalism at
Princeton, then fell in love with southern
New Jersey when she was the 2013 Miss
New Jersey candidate, the year the Miss
America pageant returned to Atlantic City.

he Greater Vineland Chamber of


Commerce held its monthly General
Membership Luncheon at the
Glassworks Building on Thursday,
October 15. SNJ Today, co-owner of the
facility, hosted the lunch and presented
information on its growing enterprise.
Ken Pustizzi, CEO of SNJ Today,
described himself as one of three owners
who acquired the Glassworks (former
headquarters of Wheaton Industries) in
2006, when it was destined for Section 8
housing. Currently, the 168,000-square-foot
building has 30 tenants, all of them thriving
businesses.
Pustizzi then introduced the team at
SNJ Today, which includes radio, digital,
television and print products, with a mission to focus on delivering positive community stories and messages in innovative
and engaging ways.
Today, you will hear from a great
team, Puztizzi said. This is a great
organization built with great people.
I refuse to focus on the negative,
Pustizzi said, citing brain drain and no
opportunity in southern New Jersey as
falsehoods.
Divisions of the traditional and new
media communications company are
Clearbridge Media, Glasstown
Productions, and SNJ Today, including the
Grapevine weekly newspaper. Someone
from each of these divisions spoke on their
role under the SNJ Today umbrella.
First up was Frank DiMauro, CFO and
COO of SNJ Today, who said he sees the
companys role as identifying and putting
a spotlight on the good in the community,
then these people will turn things around.
Theres a limit to what one person can
do, but no limit to what one person can
inspire people to do, he added.
Influential people can be the catalyst.

while continuing to innovate for current
and future guests.
The classic seaside attraction was

experienced park enthusiasts from all
over the world, narrowly inching out
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, located in
Santa Cruz, CA, which has held the title
since 2007. Runners-up also included
Blackpool Pleasure Beach in Blackpool,
England and Grna Lund in Stockholm
Sweden.
Moreys Piers closed out the 2015 summer season earning yet another Ellis and
Associates (E&A) Platinum Safety Award,
which honors water parks exceeding all
criteria for aquatic safety.
Moreys Raging Waters Water Park has
received the Platinum Safety Award for
19 consecutive years, and Moreys Ocean

same honor 15 consecutive years. Each
season Moreys trains 200 lifeguards
between both water parks.
Over the course of the season, Moreys
employs up to 400 ride operators and as
many as 30 ride supervisors. On average,
Moreys Piers conducts up to 3,000 ride
specific operator and attendant trainings
each season.
Moreys Piers & Beachfront Water
Parks received a Tripadvisor 2015
Travelers Choice award for Top Water

TESTIMONIAL OF THE MONTH


Our involvement goes way back to when my husband
and I started Heritage Agency 40 years ago. Now with
Heist Agency, our involvement continues. We feel that
giving back to the community is really important.
Recently, I have gained a lot of personal satisfaction from
attending the luncheons as well as the Professional
Womens Meetings and the Meet & Greets.
