I Gleanings { BY DEBORAH A. EIN, MANAGING EDITOR }

Back toSchool

No matter how much you prep for that first day,there are always snags.

Ahh, the first day of school. I amwriting this, cup of coffee bymy side, just moments after thebus has pulled away. No matter

how much we prepare for this first morn-ing, there are always snags.Bedtimes have been getting earlier

these past few weeks. Backpacks and sup-plies have been purchased, notebooks andbinders have been organized, pencils havebeen sharpened and stowed away, first-day outfits have been decided upon andlaid out, lunches have been packed, alarmclocks set.It doesn’t help that this first morning

is a rainy, dark one, or maybe it’s just thisdark at 6 a.m. We don’t know, as wehaven’t been up this early since June.After seemingly endless weeks of going

barefoot or slipping on a pair of flip-flops,socks and sneakers must be worn. We(read I) have made sure the shoes still fit,or new ones have been purchased—butthe socks are the snag.Too tight, says one.The other declares the shoes that fit

last night don’t feel comfortable today.Turns out the toe of the sock isn’t just

right on one foot, the tongue is askew onthe other.Back to his brother, who isn’t taking

the time to pull his socks on properly.Yes, they have all done their summer

math—it is tucked away in three back-packs—and their summer reading wascompleted just in time, but the basic per-sonal skills might have gone by the way-side in the carefree days of summer.When it is all said and done, things

could have gone a lot worse this firstmorning of school. In anticipation, every-one was up and ready in plenty of time.But I know from past years that as this

one progresses—maybe as soon as tomor-row—there will be days when they catchthe bus in a more bedraggled form, evenin stocking feet with shoes to put on enroute.And there will be days when our oldest

will call from the bus telling me that sheor one of her brothers have forgottensomething with an urgent request to have

it brought to the school’s office. Therewill even be days when one or more willmiss the bus entirely and need to catch aride with a neighbor or have me or Daddrive them to school.Now that they are out of the house and

on their way to school, I let out a longsigh. I have seven-plus hours to do allthat stuff I wanted to do over the summerand couldn’t quite get to with meals tomake every couple of hours and swimpractices and meets to get to.And now, for the life of me, I can’t

think of just what it was I needed orwanted to do.There’s the house to put in order, as

we move from the game mode of summerto the homework-friendly spaces of thebigger part of the year. There’s a specialdinner to make, and an after-school snackto prepare.I’ll think of what else, I’m sure, as I see

them running off the bus this afternoon.But then I will rather sit with them andlisten to stories of classes and teachersand friends, assignments and projects andevents.

No matter when the school busscreeches to a halt on our street,September always arrives right on time.There is something about the slant of thesun this time of year that lets you knowsummer is going, going, gone. There issomething about the chill air at dawn anddusk that jolts you into realizing that theautumn equinox is looming.Forget that the kids are gearing up and

heading for the soccer fields or playing amakeshift game of football in the frontyard. Except that they feel it, too, thisurge to put away the running to beach orpool, or keeping inside an air-conditionedhome. Even without the walls and halls ofthe school, they are ready to come togeth-er and toss a ball around, chat up a storm,or just pal around.If summer is the season of abstraction

and letting your hair down, then autumnand winter are the seasons of cominghome and hugging a routine.Time to get ready for the routine. I

Fourth Generation Joins Riggins, Inc.The fourth generation of the Riggins family has

returned to Vineland to join the company that wasstarted by Loren Riggins, Sr. back in 1926. MattRiggins, son of the current CEO Paul Riggins andgrandson of the late Loren Riggins Jr., has returned toNew Jersey after spending the last 10 years living andworking in Washington, DC. He says that he is proudto continue his family’s legacy in southern NewJersey: “DC was a great place to live and learn, but Ialways felt that Jersey was my home.”Riggins, Inc. is a family-owned and -operated busi-

ness located in Vineland that provides a wide range ofenergy solutions to consumer, commercial, and gov-ernment customers. There are over 30 Riggins gasstations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware,and the company offers wholesale and retail delivery

of gasoline, heating oil, diesel, and more to customers throughout the region.Matt comes to Riggins, Inc. from Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the world’s largest

management consulting firms. While at Booz Allen, he consulted for a wide rangeof clients including the Federal Reserve Bank of NY, the National ScienceFoundation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Departmentof Commerce. Prior to Booz Allen, Matt worked for U.S. Congressman RobAndrews (D-NJ) as his Deputy Communications Director and Legislative Assistant.He has his BA from Bucknell University and his MBA from Georgetown University.Paul Riggins, current CEO, says that while he’s excited to have his son join the

company, he views it first and foremost as a good business decision.Matt says he never fathomed joining the family business until about a year ago:

“I never thought about this as a real possibility until my dad and I were talking andwe realized how my background could really have a positive impact for our compa-ny and the community around it.”

ple of Millville, many of whom shared their personal stories and memories of thetheatre with him. He painted this work of art honoring them, and had a vision ofattending (perhaps performing as he was not a novice on stage) and lookingupon the people of Millville. Though Jim did not live to see the opening of theLevoy, it is our hope the citizens of this city will re-enter their theatre and sharewith his spirit their caring for this community."Born in Lakeland, Fla., Penland attended Philadelphia's Tyler School of Fine

Arts. Penland was a founder of the Atlantic City Arts Center, Ocean City ArtsCenter, The Ocean City Boardwalk Art Show, The Boardwalk Flower Show,Seaveneirs, The Connoisseur Shoppes Ltd., Penland Place, the Ocean City FineArts League, J.B & M.E. and the Artist Consortium, the Downtown MillvilleMerchants Association, as well as Millville's annual Arts, Music and AntiquesFestival. He was a recipient of the Key to the City in Ocean City for his PenlandPerspective: A Renaissance Man.Penland was also consultant to the United Nations and other aid organizations

to help the Philippines, Malaysia and The Bahamas create innovative ways tomarket their indigenous crafts to the world.

SJH Brings State-of-the-ArtCancer Care to Region

South Jersey Healthcare recentlyreceived delivery on a new Varian TrilogyLinear Accelerator that will be used fortreating cancer. The Trilogy system is themost powerful, precise, and versatiletreatment system in the world.

At the core of the Trilogy system isVarian’s high-powered linear accelerator,a machine that rotates around the patientto deliver radiotherapy treatments frommany angles. The system is able to deliverhigh doses of radiation to a tumor, whileminimizing the dose received by the sur-rounding normal tissues. The Trilogy lin-ear accelerator was designed to deliverhigh doses of radiation very quickly, andwith great precision. This translates intofaster treatments, greater patient comfort,and the opportunity for better outcomes.

This new state-of-the-art equipmentwill greatly enhance the comprehensiveservices available at the SJH Frank andEdith Regional Cancer Pavilion. As ittakes many weeks to complete the instal-lation and calibration process, patientsmay have access to this new technology asearly as mid-October.

September 14 Tribute HonorsWoodruff Family

The Woodruffs of Woodruff Energycan trace their roots back to the EnglishRenaissance. But that's not what makesthem a Renaissance family.

What does is their artistic, athletic andcommunity-service accomplishments gen-eration after generation since the firstWoodruffs came to this region. Giftedfamily members have continued to shineeven as "Woodruff" has become a corpo-rate name to reckon with in the energyfield.

This keynote has added special excite-ment to the upcoming "BridgetonLegends" family tribute and communityfundraiser this coming Friday, September14. The gala event, to be held at theCenterton Country Club, will featureindependent artists and representativesfrom the University of Delaware,Cumberland County College, Bay AtlanticSymphony, Wilmington Ballet and othergroups associated with the Woodruffs'decades of care for the arts, education andculture.

Sponsored by a consortium of leadingcommunity businesses and individualsand promoted via the Bridgeton MainStreet Association (BMSA) and BridgetonRotary, the event benefits BMSA and thefund to restore the Alden Field concessionstand in Bridgeton's historic City Park.

“This is a welcome chance for lots of uswho've enjoyed a Woodruff partnership inso many areas to finally say a big ‘Thankyou,’ ” says Gil Walter of CommunityHealth Care. “In sports, in education,health, music and the visual arts, in dance,in historic preservation, in church life, and

in the many, many ways they've all con-tributed," says Walter, "it seems as if youcan always track the good stuff back to aWoodruff.”

Music is certainly a big one. Four gen-erations of Woodruff men have played thevenerable organ at the WoodruffMethodist Church in Upper DeerfieldTownship. The 19th-century church wasfounded by Lewis Woodruff, whose son,John S., was also its organist. AlanWoodruff, who now chairs the Board ofTrustees of Century Bank, still playsSunday services, as did his father Georgeand his grandfather Warren before him.

Alan and his brother Robert Sr inherit-ed what was then Woodruff Coal & Oilfrom their enterprising father, George,himself an amateur archeologist whodonated his collection of Indian artifactsto the Bridgeton Library in the 1960s.

Virtually no local field of cultural worklacks the Woodruff touch. Both Bob Srand Merry Woodruff, visible, longtimesupporters of the Bay-Atlantic Symphony,have been choir stalwarts at BridgetonFirst Presbyterian Church for over twentyyears. Merry, a degreed family therapistwho plays the violin and has done seriousphotography, has also had an active rolein reclaiming important local historythrough the Broad Street CemeteryAssociation. Alan's wife, Grace, known as“Gussie,” has enjoyed a stellar career inprofessional ballet.

“The kind of commitment WoodruffEnergy has made to the cultural and eco-nomic well-being of this community overmore than a century deserves manyrounds of applause,” says Ed Bethea,president of Bridgeton Main Street. Whatthe Woodruffs do, he says, “helps stitchtogether the fabric of the community weall enjoy often without ever seeing itshidden seams.”

In addition to music, almost everyonein the family has excelled in sports, andmany have left a mark on athletics at theUniversity of Delaware and other majoruniversities, from baseball to tennis toswimming to crew. Bob Woodruff, Jr, nowpresident of Woodruff Inc. and an inno-vator in the energy field, now coachesbaseball and supports Little League in hishometown of Pilesgrove (Woodstown) inSalem County.

“I can't say enough to thank this won-derful family," says Diane Kolman, amember of the program committee fromthe Hug-A-Bear Foundation, a longtimeWoodruff family charity that comfortschildren in traumatic situations."Providence has been generous to them,and they have turned around and beendoubly generous to us."

Tickets at $50/person are availablefrom Bridgeton Main Street at 856-453-8130 or 973-864-4001, and at The CanvasBag, 46 East Commerce Street: 856-455-5673. I

The Off Broad Street Players, the Levoy’sresident theater company, will performthree well-known stage shows this fall.The Levoy maintains a cooperative rela-

tionship with Vineland’s Landis Theaterand the Guaracini FPAC at CumberlandCounty College. “Although we may sched-ule events on the same evenings, we willshowcase different types of acts,” says VanEmbden.All shows for children from two to eight

have been closely vetted for appropriate-ness. An entire series is available at a dis-count. Highlights for the series include:•Hot Peas ‘n Butter—a bilingual show

performed in English and Spanish• Circo Comedia—original performers

from Cirque du Soleil• Rebecca Frezza—a children’s musician

with the “Big Truck” band• The Velveteen Rabbit—a classic

Broadway-style production•How I Became a Pirate—amusical

based on a popular children’s bookThe Levoy’s programming will comple-

ment in-school education. Abridged ver-sions of full stage performances will pro-vide students with educational and culturalenrichment. Presented at substantiallyreduced rates during the school day, fullversions will be performed on stage thatsame evening. The Levoy will collaboratewith upper grade students to review theseshows as creative writing.Upcoming shows are:• Potted Potter—Coming in January, this

70-minute show condenses all seven HarryPotter books. Direct from Broadway, theshow originated in London’s West End.• Cirque Ziva—The actors/dancers/

acrobats will discuss Chinese culture andthe origins of acrobatics. Theywill meet withstudents for 30 minutes pre- or post-show.

THE LEVOY’S FUTUREThe Levoy aims to help transform

Millville’s downtown into a performing artsdistrict. Like most non-profit organizations,outside sponsors are contributing 60 to 70percent of the operating costs.“We envision the Levoy as an economic

engine, offering cultural, economic and edu-cational opportunities. As non-profit, thecity has little risk and the commissionershave actively offered oversight. If we suc-ceed, our county residents will save moneyand enjoy the arts without leaving town.As a bonus, we are planning package

partnerships with area restaurants. Formercustomers from years ago may return forevents costing $5 to $15,” says Van Embden.

THE LEVOY’S HISTORYThe Levoy’s storied history dates back

to 1908. It replaced theWilson OperaHouse, which burned in an 1898 fire.A 1912 expansion enlarged the stage and

balcony, and the Levoy became a popularVaudeville circuit stop. The theater alsoregularly played 1920s silent movies.Seating increased to 1,400 after a secondrenovation in 1927.Talking pictures spelled the end for

Vaudeville, andWarner Brothers’Hollywood studio bought the Levoy in1930. They later turned it into an ornatemovie palace in 1939. The Levoy reached itspeak of popularity during the war years ofthe early 1940s.The successful introduction of television

eroded the fortunes and revenues of theLevoy as consumers stayed home. WarnerBrothers sold the Levoy to Landis Theaterowner EugeneMori of Vineland.Again losing money, Mori sold the prop-

erty to former Millville Mayor SimonCherivtch in August 1958. Cherivtch threat-ened to use the building for another com-mercial purpose, but never did.The 1960s was another failed decade, so

Cherivtch remodeled the front section,opened two stores and created upstairs

apartments. A shell of its former self, theLevoy was one-third its original dimen-sions and without its twin marble staircas-es and 400 theater seats.With the onslaught of regional multi-

plex cinemas in the early 1970s, the Levoyfell into disrepair. A 1972 renovation did lit-tle to salvage its destiny. In late 1974, newlessee Seymour “Sy” Siegal, temporarilypromoted a comeback, which failed.The Levoy officially closed on Christmas

Eve 1974, reverting back to Cherivtch.Although the building faced possible demo-lition, it sat dormant for decades.In the 1990s, young Joey Pierce Jr.

dreamt of rejuvenating this historic build-ing. Joined by his father and friend JeffPage, Pierce pushed for the Levoy’s desig-nation as a structure of Historic value bythe State of New Jersey. The Levoy TheaterPreservation Society purchased the theaterin 1998, and it was added to the NationalRegister of Historic Places in August 1998.Tragically, Pierce died suddenly in 2000 at25, never living to realize the theater’spotential.In Spring 2008, Levoy Chairperson

Lauren Van Embden, her father Phillip andfour Off Broadway Street Players membersrequested the Levoy’s Board of Directorsestablish a resident theater for the Players.They believed that reviving the downtownarts districts required a live performancearts center. A “hybrid” board of these six,plus four original directors, gathered signa-tures and raised $20,000 within months.“We were the right team, at the right

time, with the right dynamics. The buildinghad deteriorated beyond repair. We com-missioned design plans to rebuild theLevoy that included contemporary plumb-ing, lighting, theatrical elements and othermodern amenities. However, we remainedtrue to 1920s aesthetics,” says Van Embden.Work began, but hit a big obstacle when

the building collapsed in early January2011. Fortunately, no one was hurt and only15 percent of the reconstruction was com-plete. After insurance claims were quicklysettled, rebuilding restarted in August 2011and was recently completed.I

There are exciting things happening atEye Associates in Vineland. Because ofa new Optiwave Refractive Analysis

System (ORA), which is used during cataractprocedures to optimize postoperative visualoutcomes, patients are now able to undergocataract surgery to not only remove cataracts,but also improve their vision long-term. Themachine is a revolutionary device that is sonew, Eye Associates is the first practice inNew Jersey to use it.Dr. Sydney Tyson, owner of Eye Associates,

had high praise for the ORA and its benefits.“The ORA provides a lot more precision,”

he said. “What we used to do was try to deter-mine implant or lens power through a formu-la based on theory. It was effective, but notperfect. With the ORA, we can measure exact-ly what the person’s eye prescription is. It’sno longer a guessing game. We’re now achiev-ing results on par with LASIK. No longer arepeople required to wear glasses followingcataract surgery in most cases.

“People will see their vision improve notonly right away, but for up to six months withthis new method,” he added.On Wednesday, August 22, Tyson invited

the public to attend an open seminar at theEye Associates SurgiCenter. He’d give a pres-entation on the ORA, and then demonstratethe procedure on a patient for those in atten-dance, the goal being to ease potentialpatients’ fears of cataract surgery.“We’ve noticed that people don’t know

exactly what occurs during [cataract] surgery.It’s remarkably easy, straight-forward andpain-free. These types of seminars show themthey can get out of it alive,” joked Tyson.Close to 30 locals turned out for the semi-

nar, all of them intrigued by the opportunity tosee the groundbreaking technology in action.Following a half hour PowerPoint on the

history of cataract surgery, Tyson fieldedsome questions. Then it was time to see theORA in action.On a closed-circuit broadcast, those in

attendance looked on with awe as Tyson per-

formed a cataract surgery using the ORA onthe left eye of Theresa Lanza, a volunteer whohad already undergone the procedure on herright eye a few weeks prior. Through it all,Tyson gave a play-by-play of exactly what hewas doing. Periodically, Lanza, who was fullycognizant and only had a numbing agent forher eye, would provide comments about whatthe surgery was like from her end.Afterwards, Lanza sought to quell the

fears of those who still were skeptical byspeaking to them directly.“The procedure is amazing,” she said, with

a protective covering still over her eye. “It’spainless and there’s no discomfort. And itworks. If you’re going to do something foryourself, this is the way to go. It was truly apleasant experience from beginning to end.”“Yeah, and how much is he paying you to

say all of this?” asked a man in attendance,causing a smattering of laughs from the crowd.“I’m doing this on my own,” Lanza quickly

retorted. “I usually don’t feel confident about

this kind of stuff. But there’s no reason not tobe. The procedure is like nothing. Don’t notget it done.”Afterwards, Teresa Greer, 84, a Vineland

resident and long-time sufferer of cataractsseemed convinced.“I’ve suffered from cataracts in my right

eye for a long time,” she said. “I came herebecause I was quite fearful. I was thinking hewas going to pop the eye out of the socket orsomething. But now I feel a lot better.Actually seeing the procedure and then seeingthe patient walking around and speakingwithin minutes after everything was donemade a big difference.”Greer stated she now plans to not only get

cataract surgery, but to get it done by Dr.Tyson.“I think I will get it done, and I will defi-

nitely come to Dr. Tyson. After hearing suchnice reviews about him, and then seeing himinteract with the people here today and howhe handled the surgery, I don’t think I couldgo anywhere else.” I

I Vintage Vineland { VINCE FARINACCIO }

Hollywood ModelPhiladelphia-born screenwriter Abby Mann was made aware of mentally chal-lenged children and the Training School at Vineland. Twenty years later, theschool served as a model in one of his films.

Over the years, there have beenoccasional references to theTraining School at Vineland,an institution for mentally

challenged individuals, serving as a modelfor the facility seen in A Child is Waiting,the 1963 Hollywood feature directed byJohn Cassavetes and starring BurtLancaster and Judy Garland. Mostly, thecredit is given to the Pacific StateHospital in Pomona, California, whichprovided students for the film as well asaccess to the institute for pre-productionresearch. However, the Vineland TrainingSchool actually played a larger role in thefeature film and its television precursorthan has previously been revealed. It evenlured several of the motion picture’s keyfigures to New Jersey to determine ifVineland was a suitable location for film-ing.The idea for A Child is Waiting was

formed while writer Abby Mann wasattending New York University in the1940s on the G.I Bill. The Philadelphia-born screenwriter who grew up in EastPittsburgh admitted to Gary Rutkowski ina 2004 video interview for the Archive ofAmerican Television that he was unawareof the existence of mentally challengedchildren until a fellow classmate invitedhim to visit her workplace.“When I was going to NYU, there was

a… really nice classmate and she wasworking with retarded children,” Mannsaid, using the terminology that was com-monplace during the mid-20th century. “Ididn’t even know what the term meant atthat time. I said, ‘You mean, emotionallydisturbed?’ and she said, ‘No, retarded.’She said, ‘Why don’t you come to thisplace and see them?’ And I came thereand I’ve never forgotten it, because herewere these kids who were trying theirbest, and what it gave me is to understandthat they had as much feelings as any ofus. And they had to ascend to whateverthey could do.Mann was struck by how some of the

students’ parents were ashamed of theirchildren. “People were giving them up asretarded kids and they were abandoned,”he told Rutkowski. “…I spent a lot of timewith the parents. There was a prominent

actress who had a son there and shespoke to me with anguish, how much shehad wanted to keep him but her husband,who was a director, didn’t want to keephim. [The children’s] relationships withtheir parents is a symphony itself.”These experiences were stored away

as Mann began a career as a script writerfor 1950s television shows like CameoTheater, Robert Montgomery Presents,and Playhouse 90. His work for the CBSseries Studio One provided the opportu-nity to write about what he witnessedwhen visiting the school for mentallychallenged children. Work on the scriptthat became A Child is Waiting included,according to a Times Journal article, aweek of research at the Vineland TrainingSchool in early 1957.

It’s not surprising that Mann chose theVineland institution. By the 1950s, thetraining school had earned an interna-tional reputation for its work with men-tally challenged students. Considered thefirst of its kind in this country, it hadopened its doors on May 24, 1888, as theNew Jersey Home for the Education andCare of Feebleminded Children, where 40

boys and 15 girls were in residence by theend of its first year. Known briefly as theNew Jersey Training School, the instituteadded a research lab by 1906, changed itsname to the Training School at Vinelandand concentrated its studies on socialcompetence.Its reputation had impressed Nobel

and Pulitzer Prize winning author PearlS. Buck, whose daughter Carol, became alifelong student in the Vineland TrainingSchool. In 1929 she was amazed that thecommunity lived in small cottages andthat the students were taught living skillsto promote independence. According toPeter J. Conn’s biography Pearl S. Buck,after touring similar institutions, Buckdiscovered that The Training School “wascommitted to an educational program,

training each child to the limits of his orher abilities.”Those very qualities would soon

appear, albeit largely uncredited, in aMann teleplay that would be turned intoan episode of the Studio One televisionseries and launch further interest inVineland shortly afterward. I

Somuch has been accomplished indowntown Vineland in the pastseveral years. Since 2008, therehas been more than $3.2 million in

private and public investment in the down-town; our volunteers have donated over12,700 hours of their time to the revitaliza-tion effort; and there has been a net gain of134 jobs and a net gain of 45 new orexpanded businesses.While the Board of Directors, volun-

teers and staff of Main Street Vineland areproud of these numbers, none of us arecontent to sit back and take a break. On thecontrary, we are looking to the future andmaking plans for an even better tomorrow.For the past few months, Main Street

Vineland has been engaged in a multi-part,top-to-bottom Strategic Planning processthat is designed to examine our organiza-tion and the work we do, assess the currentmix of retail and services we have onLandis Avenue, identify what we still needto bring in to meet the community’s expec-tations, and develop a game plan for howto continue to make downtown Vineland avibrant and desirable place to live, shop,dine and work—as noted in the Main StreetVineland Vision Statement.Several weeks ago, the Main Street

Vineland Board, staff and volunteers partic-ipated in a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses,Opportunities and Threats) Analysis, andfrom this session an online survey has beendeveloped to obtain the community’s opin-

ions on issues facing the downtown.Understanding what people in the com-

munity want to see in their downtown iscritical to the ongoing revitalization ofLandis Avenue. With this in mind, I am ask-ing if you would take about five minutes toparticipate in the online survey and sharewith us your views on downtown and whatyou would like to see in the years ahead.To sweeten the deal, we will randomly

be giving away a prize of over $100 in giftcards from the Landis MarketPlace to oneperson who completes the survey.Although you will need to provide yourname to be eligible for the prize (the sur-vey does not know who is taking it unlessyou provide the information), you may alsocomplete the survey anonymously. Eitherway, your participation and responses willbe held in confidence and will be greatlyappreciated. You may access the survey athttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/down-townvineland. The survey is currentlyopen and will remain online throughSeptember 25, 2012. The prize will begiven away the following week.On behalf of the Main Street Vineland

Board of Directors, volunteers and staff, Ithank you for taking a few minutes to helpguide the future of downtown Vineland. I

Millville Student Collects Bottlecaps for RecyclingSilver Run School student Juanita Jimenaz has collected bottle caps

throughout the school year. She had heard a story about a cancer patientneeding them for a fundraiser. She could not find out where or who to givethe caps to. Not wanting to give up, she heard about the Soroptimist Club ofCumberland County collecting caps to recycle. Hard plastic caps do notbreak down in landfills. Juanita met with Chrissy Pompper and presented thecaps. They will be recycled and then made into new products. Juanita wantsto continue to help with living green. She hopes to keep her recycling effortsgoing into the start of this coming school year.

September 4, though this issue was pub-lished just prior to that date) and we willknow just exactly how crowded the fieldof candidates is that will be running inthe Vineland mayoral race leading up tothe November 6 election.As of press time, the candidates who

have announced their intentions to runfor mayor are (in alphabetical order)Douglas Albrecht, Perry Barse, RubenBermudez, David Mazur, RobertRomano and Constantino Rozzo.On Wednesday, September 26, those

candidates will gather at the LandisTheater for a debate hosted by thisChamber and The Daily Journal. Thedebate will be moderated by TheLeague of Women Voters. It will be agood forum for voters to learn who eachcandidate is and where they stand on

important issues affectingVineland residents.The event is free and

open to the public. Thedebate starts at 6 p.m. andno registration is required.This debate is especially

important as a voter edu-cation tool in light of thefact that local voters willhave more decisions tomake in the voting booththan ever this November.This is the first time

Vineland residents will beasked to choose a mayor,five city council members,three school board members, two countyfreeholders, a congressman and a presi-dent, in addition to referenda.Municipal and school board elections

DR. DON S. COOPER, DC, of CooperWellness Center, recently returned from a con-ference where he trained under Dr. David Phillips, PhD, who received the Inventor of theYear Award in 1986 for the Infrared Ear Thermometer and is currently the CEO ofReBuilder Medical Technology, Inc. His company manufactures the ReBuilder, an elec-tronic treatment device used to treat peripheral neuropathy (pain and numbness of thelegs/feet or hands). The ReBuilder, invented by Dr. Phillips, is used by the CancerCenters of America to treat Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy with a 96percent success rate, but peripheral neuropathy is also caused by diabetes or by trau-ma to the nerves.

Upon his completion of training, Dr. Cooper is now treating patientswith peripheral neuropathy here in Vineland, using theReBuilder System to train the nerves to properly communi-cate with one another again, significantly reducing pain,numbness, tingling, and burning. Patients no longer haveto live with unbearable symptoms of neuropathy, nor dothey have to take medications that have harmful side-effects with little or no benefit. This new technology"rebuilds" the nerve synapses. Drug-treated neuropathyonly worsens with time, often leading to more disease.

More information regarding this treatment is availablefrom CooperWellness Center at 856-691-1313.

By Ash Rajan of Merrill Lynch Global WealthManagement

For just a minute, think of your long-termfinancial strategy as a cross-country car trip.You know where you want to end up, andyou have a pretty good idea of how long itshould take to get there. At the same time,you know that here and there you’re goingto run into heavy traffic, inclement weather,detours and other obstacles to a safe andtimely arrival. And of course, you’re alwayslooking for opportunities to reach your des-tination in the smartest, easiest way. As anintelligent traveler, you will probably consulta GPS device to look for better routes, checkweather reports and traffic updates forpotential problems, and maybe visit a localWeb site to make sure there’s no roadworkalong the way.

These easy steps can make your trip rela-tively smooth and surprise-free. Similarly,there are moves you can make as an investorthat can help you to avoid a number of pit-

falls and take advantage of opportunities.One of the most important is regular rebal-ancing—adjusting your mix of stocks, bonds,cash and, for qualified investors, alternativeinvestments to your original targets so thatyour investments reflect the strategy youhave decided best suits your goals, timehorizon and risk tolerance.

The market volatility of the past couple ofyears shows pretty clearly why rebalancingyour portfolio is a sensible idea. BetweenOctober 2007 andMarch 2009, the value ofstocks (as measured by the S&P 500) declined46.5%, and many investors cashed out. At thesame time, bonds posted gains, and manypeople increased their fixed-income holdings.As a result, the percentage of stocks in mostportfolios shrank markedly over this period,while bond and cash allocations grew in themajority of cases. When the markets reversedcourse in the ensuing months, investors whohadn’t rebalanced their holdings missed thechance to reap the gains.

When the markets alter the shape of your

portfolio in this way, there’s less potentialfor the long-term growth that markets havehistorically provided and greater exposureto risk and lost opportunities. Reviewingyour portfolio regularly ensures that you—not the markets—manage your assets.

SELL OVERPERFORMERS. SEEKOPPORTUNITIES.

Start your portfolio review by examiningwhich assets have overperformed and whichhave underperformed during a set period oftime. Of course, past performance is no guar-antee of future results. Leverage your finan-cial advisor’s firm’s research insights as youconsider shifting funds out of asset classesthat exceed your targets—and are therebygrowing into a larger percentage of yourholdings—and moving them into underrepre-sented asset classes. With the help of yourfinancial advisor, you can define asset-alloca-tion parameters that are appropriate to yourgoals, your risk profile and your liquidityneeds, among other considerations.

How do you determine when you need toadd to or subtract from a particular assetclass? Most investors can tolerate a short-term fluctuation of 5% from their allocationmodel pretty well. Much more than that mayindicate a need for change—or at least tostart a dialogue with your financial advisor.

Rebalancing can help achieve the twingoals of reducing the risk of overexposureand increasing diversification. The moststraightforward strategy is to sell some ofyour best performers and use the proceedsto purchase undervalued assets—either byexpanding positions in securities youalready hold or by choosing different invest-ments in the same asset class or sector.Alternatively, you may decide to devote theproceeds from your sales to asset classesthat are underrepresented or absent in yourportfolio to increase diversification.

Rebalancing can also be an opportunityto take advantage of investment options. Asyou consider which positions to sell and

purchase, look at what’s happening in themarketplace. Remember, investing involvesrisk, so talk to your financial advisor aboutdifferent sectors, asset classes, geographicalregions and market trends that are consis-tent with your strategy and risk tolerance.

HOW OFTEN IS “REGULARLY”?Rebalancing is especially important fol-

lowing a prolonged period of market volatil-ity. However, many financial professionalsrecommend revisiting your portfolio on aregular schedule regardless of market condi-tions. An annual review is usually adequate.It represents a happy medium between toooften and not often enough. It also nicelymatches other market assessments, such asyear-to-date performance, and any lifechanges—such as marriage, divorce, educa-tion, retirement or inheritance—that mayhave occurred during the past year to alteryour attitude toward risk.

In addition to the annual review, it’s agood idea to consider making adjustments ifyour allocation to a given asset class shiftsby more than 10 percentage points. Even inunusual conditions, though, you shouldweigh the need for frequent full-scale over-hauls carefully, since the transaction costsmay offset the benefits.

Remember that investment products arenot bank guaranteed, may lose value, and arenot FDIC insured. Asset allocation, diversifi-cation, and rebalancing do not protect youfully against losses in a declining market, butestablishing a rule of regular recalibrationhelps you respond to market movements witha well thought-out strategy. This processshouldn’t be viewed as merely an action butas a mind-set and as an agreed-uponapproach between you and your financialadvisor. It’s a conscious step that will helpyou manage your portfolio in a disciplinedway. And that’s valuable in any market.

LEGISLATIVE CORNERWe work hard on your behalf to fight for legis-

lation that supports your business and promoteseconomic growth in our area. We want you to beinformed. Go to www.njleg.state.nj.us for moredetails on bills and other state legislative activity.Republican National Convention – Held last week in Tampa, Fla.Democratic National Convention – Begins September 6 in Charlotte, N.C.

In June, Governor Christie signed the $31.7 billion fiscal 2013 state budget bill (S-2013). The budget continues the phase-in of tax reforms initiated during last year’sbudget cycle. Some of the items that may interest our business community are:• Single sales factor allocation formula, which eliminates property and payroll as

factors when determining the Corporation Business Tax, and bases it solely on sales.• Provision for businesses to offset losses from one category of income to another.• 20-year carry-forward of net operating losses for business owners whose busi-

ness taxes are paid through their personal income taxes.• 25 percent reduction in minimum tax paid by S-corporations.• Increase in the Research and Development Tax Credit from 50 percent to 100 per-

cent, which aids critical research in New Jersey.• Full funding for the Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program.• Phasing out of the Transitional Energy Facility Assessment, which was originally

scheduled to expire in 2002 but had been extended every year until 2012.Here are some other bills of interest:• S533 – Government Shared Services: This bill revises current law to ensure that

certain statutorily-required municipal officials who earn tenure in their positions donot impede local shared service agreements.

A2315 – Small Business Regulatory Relief: This bill requires an agency to conducta review of rules that are up for re-adoption, ensuring that they have minimal impacton small businesses. The bill updates the New Jersey Regulatory Flexibility Act sothat it is consistent with the provisions of a model bill endorsed by the U.S. SmallBusiness Administration.
