Committee Is Looking ForwardTheMayor’s Blue Ribbon Committee

would like to offer some information whichwe believe will address some questionsconcerning Vineland’s 150th Birthday cele-bration. This committee of local citizenvolunteers represents all segments of thecity—police, firefighters, teachers, localbusiness leaders, church leaders, city work-ers, and lovers of Vineland’s history! Eachand every Blue Ribbon meeting has wel-comed and appreciated various guest par-ticipants who have had the opportunity tomake some important suggestions concern-ing everything from the commemorativebook to the selection and choices of cake.Considering the time constraints of a hard-working Vineland citizenry, the meetingparticipation has been outstanding andappreciated by not only the committee, butalso by the Mayor and the Vineland citi-zens who have enjoyed the activities so far.

Let’s address a few concerns. Our localpapers have done an outstanding job of fea-turing many photos of the carnival, parade,and the fireworks display to cap off thedays of the Birthday celebration. FromAugust 4 to 7, the campus of Vineland HighSchool was the site of the BirthdayCelebration events. The Carnival, spon-sored by the North Vineland Fire Co. #3,had rides, food, and many of the noveltiesthat you would find at most of our Jerseyboardwalks. Especially on Sunday, the bigday, the many carnival visitors were varied,relaxed, enthusiastic, and especially proneto want to reminisce, talk about earlyVineland, and growing up in Vineland.Workers in the tents commented on themany out-of-towners or formerVinelanders who came back for the cele-bration. The many enthusiastic compli-ments were contagious and made for atruly fun day, even while working!

The choice of the parade route was inquestion. The concerns have been under-standably received. As this celebration (andall events) were financed by donations, thecost of parading down Landis Avenue wasentirely too prohibitive to consider whenobserving all of the legal issues concerningpolice, security, fire, street closings, over-time for city workers, cleanup, and more.Therefore, the number one issue was finan-cial. As far as loss of business, the stores areclosed on Sunday, allowing even those busi-nesses to participate in the Carnival venueevents. The committee felt that the campusparade route would easily enable everyoneat the carnival to be close to everythingwithout having to travel across town, park,then return for the fireworks since therewere many children as well as adultsmarching in the parade who were partici-pating on stage before or after the parade.The benefit and comfort of having theroute begin and conclude at the same placekept the participants from walking anothermile back to its start especially consideringthe intense heat that day. Very importantly,

the access for the handicapped was easilyconfigured for one of the campus parkinglots and senior citizen CAT transportationwas arranged to coincide with the events.We received many appreciative responses.The police reported that it was the firsttime there were no traffic jams or parkingissues. Even though most committee mem-bers would agree that Landis Avenuewould be the ideal parade route, we had toconsider both financial and logistical con-siderations for those wanting to enjoy andparticipate in all the events. The resultsgreatly exceeded our expectations.

Finally, there is the CommemorativeBook. For those who remember Vineland’s1961 Centennial Book with its red, white,and blue cover, the Blue Ribbon Committeewill be offering a sesquicentennial versionas soon as it’s completed. There have beenad solicitations and publishing deadlinesthat have been extended, but we are confi-dent that the final product will be worth thewait. This book, as is the 1961 book, willbecomemore than just a means of adver-tisement for those who have contributed—itwill become an artifact of Vineland’s historyjust as the 1961 book has become.We willkeep the public informed as to its upcomingdistribution—and distribute for free!

Please check the City of Vineland web-site, the local newspapers, and Channel 9TV postings for upcoming events eachmonth. There are many souvenirs for saleat City Hall’s ground floor that can be pur-chased at City Hall’s License & Inspectionsoffice on the 3rd floor. Also, there are twonew publications on Vineland by both TheFriends of Historic Vineland and TheVineland Historical and AntiquarianSociety that can be purchased by contact-ing these groups.

The 150th Birthday Celebration has beenentirely sponsored by local businesses,groups, and individuals who have generous-ly and selflessly given of their money andtime, to make this a memorable event for allof Vineland. Let’s honor the past, embracethe future, and keep looking forward!

—The Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Committee

Honor Our AthletesI have recognized the two professional

baseball players Mike Trout and DarrenFord who live in Millville and Vineland.Both are the “cream of the crop.” We willbe hearing more from them in the future.

Cumberland County has many excellentathletes. I recommend that a room be setaside at the county offices. In this room, wecould list all the great athletes from the pastand present that came from our county.

We should be proud of the athletes. Thiswould be an excellent public relations toolfor visitors to see.

Other areas in Philadelphia and NewYork, etc. have raved about their athletes.They will be shocked to see howmanygreat athletes our county has produced.

Hands Up For Charity"Hands Up - The Pose" was a

social experiment started by Vinelandresident Jessica Hawk-Ippolito in thebeginning of July. The original goalwas to get people across the UnitedStates and around the world to take apicture of themselves in the "handsup" pose, shown in the picture ofJessica and her brother Brian Hawkat Universal Studios (right). Withinseven weeks, the Facebook page ded-icated to the experiment had picturesfrom 45 states, multiple countries inEurope, six of the seven continents,and Broadway/morning show celebri-ties. To see all of the pictures sub-mitted, search "Hands Up - The Pose"on Facebook.This September, Hawk-Ippolito is

taking the experiment to the nextlevel by adding a "Hands Up CharityChallenge" to help raise funds forlocal and national charitable organi-zations. If you would like more infor-mation about how you or your busi-ness can get involved go towww.handsupthepose.com and click"Charity Challenge" for the details.

USDA Funding for Buena VistaTownship Fire District

“Day in and day out our first respondersplace themselves in harm’s way.

Long Term Care Facilities SignHistoric Agreement To AssistIn Emergencies

Salem County is leading the way in theState to protect some of its most vulnerablecitizens. Through the Salem County Officeof EmergencyManagement, all seven LongTerm Care Facilities in the County signed ahistoric agreement to assist one anotherduring emergencies.

The seven facilities, Carneys PointRehabilitation and Nursing Center inCarneys Point, Eagleview Health andRehabilitation in Pittsgrove, Friends VillageinWoodstown, Golden Rehabilitation andNursing Center in Mannington, Mater DeiNursing Home in Newfield, MerionGardens Assisted Living in Carneys Point,and Southgate Health Care Center inCarneys Point, with leadership and assis-tance from the Salem County Office ofEmergency Management and the NewJersey Department of Health and SeniorServices have signed the first Agreement inNew Jersey involving every long term carefacility in the county. That agreement willenable the residents from one facility to besent to any other facility in Salem County ifan emergency arises.

“Salem County is leading the way andsetting the standard for the State in takingcare of our elderly and disabled popula-tion” said Freeholder Director LeeWare.Previously, each long term care facility hadagreements with other facilities on a one toone basis. “These residents of long termcare facilities need special care and thiscountywide agreement helps to make surethey’ll stay cared for,” statedWare.

Jeff Pompper, the Salem CountyEmergency Management Coordinator andExecutive Director of the Salem CountyDepartment of Emergency Services said,“Salem County has had several facilitiesthat have experienced emergencies overthe past three years. An agreement like thiswill make life easier for everybody byallowing everybody to share the load whenpeople are in peril. Several other Countieshave said they’re interested in gettingagreements with Salem County in thefuture to make sure that everybody’s help-ing one another because emergencies aren’tscheduled and can happen to anyone any-time.”

“It is crucial that long term care facili-ties work together to prepare for any healthemergency that would interrupt operationsat one or more facilities,” said DHSSAssistant Commissioner Christopher Rinn.“This agreement ensures that residents ofSalem County’s seven long term facilitieswill have a safe and effective relocation in

From time to time, I like to use thiscolumn to spotlight some of ourdowntown businesses so you get asense of the wide array of choices

you have when you make downtownVineland your destination for shopping.With my column last week about ourupcomingWeddingWeekend, it is a goodsegue into flowers—and Landis Avenue hassome fine florists that can fill your needs.Finer Flowers & Gifts, located at 645 E.

Landis Avenue, has been a fixture down-town for 22 years. At that time, Al and VidaNassiri opened a small flower shop at thesite of the former Morvay’s Market. Vidahad experience in flower arranging andhome decorating. With her husband help-ing her in the store, they gradually enlargedthe business over the next five years to itspresent size. Their daughter, MaryamKarvar, eventually came to help them, afterowning Blossoms at Lincoln and Danteavenues for several years.Today, Finer Flowers & Gifts carries flo-

ral arrangements for all occasions, especial-ly weddings, funerals, and Sweet 15 and 16celebrations. “We are a one-stop shop for allwedding accessories,” Karvar says. In addi-tion to flowers, wedding accessories such asarches and chuppahs are also available forrent. Also popular are balloon bouquets, aswell as fruit and gourmet baskets for holidays.They also carry a wide variety of gifts

and celebration accessories. “The giftsstarted with some stands and planters myfather put out on display,” Karvar says.“That started a demand for other thingsand the selection grew from there.”As you pass by the store you can see

the merchandise being showcased in theiroutdoor display—a holdover from the daysof Morvay’s Market.A couple blocks to the east is

Neighborhood Florist, at 801 E. LandisAvenue, which opened in October of lastyear by Esther Hernandez and her daugh-ter Esther Guadalupe. Before that, EstherHernandez had studied flower design, didwork at home, and worked with otherflower shops before she and her daughteroperated Neighborhood Florist inNewfield for five years.

They are also a full-service flower shopwith delivery service, and feature fresh andartificial flower arrangements, plants, andfruit baskets with flowers, as well as giftitems and accessories.“Weddings are a specialty of ours,” says

Hernandez. “We work closely with ourdowntown bridal and formal shops and, forthe bride, we carry homemade headpiecesand other items.”Both businesses pride themselves on the

quality personal service not necessarilyavailable in the big-box stores carryingbouquets. “As a family business, we workwith everybody’s budget. With the econo-my and everything else affecting people,you have to work with people,” Karvar said.“We take pride in personal service and

putting our experience to work to give youexactly what you want,” Hernandez said.A more recent addition downtown is

Triple Oaks Nursery and Florist, located inLandis MarketPlace, 631 E. Landis Ave.Though new in Vineland, the business isfamiliar to many for their Franklinvillelocation, under the longtime ownership ofthe Kiefer family. Lorraine Kiefer and herson Joe run the business hereAt the Landis MarketPlace store, they

sell freshly cut flowers, as well as houseplants, and culinary herbs. They also planto hold classes in natural gardening andfloral arrangements.For flowers, as with so many other

items, make downtown Vineland your des-tination the next time you go shopping.***There’ll be plenty of great eatin’ in store

at the fifth annual BBQ ‘n Chili Cook-Off,sponsored by Susquehanna Bank and sup-ported by Comcast, to take place onSaturday, September 24 (rain date:September 25) from 4 to 9 p.m., on the 600block of Landis Avenue. Vendors will viefor prizes for the best BBQ and chili—allthis and our annual HomemadeWineCompetition, live music, and lots more!I

Vineland’s New Teachers Prepped for Year AheadNinety-seven new teachers and mid-year hires completed three days of ori-

entation recently at the Vineland Board of Education Administration building onPlum Street. The annual program continued the district's process of preparingfor the first day of classes on September 6.

The first-day session opened August 22 with words of encouragement fromDr. Maryann Banks, Superintendent of Schools, following an introduction by Dr.Dina Elliott, Assistant Superintendent for Administration.

Dr. Banks said she looked forward to informal visits to the classrooms of thenew teachers and those new to the district. She also repeated a quote she saidwas appropriate for their careers in education.

"Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which theyinvite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully col-lapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own," she said.

During the program, the new teachers reported to their respective schools forsite-based orientation with the principal and staff. Subjects covered were:Preparing for the Opening of School, Review of School Policies and Procedures,Review of Professional Responsibilities, and Acquire Textbooks and Materials.Staff also received K-12 Training from Steve Dantinne and they had time with theContent Supervisors by Content Areas. All preschool teachers met with the prin-cipal and supervisor at the Dallago Preschool Center.

Dr. Banks speaks to the new teachers during the August 22 opening session.

For Tony Romero and Jerry Powell,owners of Budget Mufflers and CarCare, it’s all about customer serviceand satisfaction. The two lifetime car

lovers first met while they were both work-ing at Midas. After about 10 years on the jobanswering to superiors and doing thingsMidas’ way, the two came up with the idea togo into business for themselves, thinkingthey could improve on some of the deficien-cies they saw going on at Midas. Thus, theyopened Budget in 1995.

When the shop opened, the two new busi-ness owners made a pact with each other thatensuring customer satisfaction was of theutmost importance if they wanted the busi-ness to stand out and be a long-term venture.

“The customer always comes first,” saidRomero during a recent interview. “We knowthe customers’ needs—they need their vehicle,they don’t want to tie it up for two or threedays. And we strive to accommodate that.”

Aside from getting car repairs done in atimely fashion, perhaps the most importantaspect of Budget’s customer satisfaction strat-egy is in their pricing. It is Budget’s policy,when looking for parts, to call around to atleast three suppliers, getting multiple quotes,and always selecting the best parts for thebest value. A combination of quality andaffordability is of a paramount concern whenan employee at Budget does the part pricing.

“We buy in quantity, and we shop aroundfor the customer’s best price,” said Romero.“Every day when a car comes in, and weneed a part, one of us calls around to at leastthree shops, if not more, in order to keep theprice down. It is our policy that we consultthis many people to make sure the customer

gets the best price in the area. We willinglydo this.”

For patrons looking to get work done ontheir car, price gauging is always a concern.Budget recognizes this fact, and, because ofit, they have established another policy thatguarantees the customer is paying list pricefor their parts.

“We guarantee that every time we put apart in your car, that it is list price and willnot be bumped up,” Romero said.

With policies focused so much on cus-tomer satisfaction, it’d be easy for an individ-ual to be suspicious, and believe that theremust be a catch somewhere. However,Romero is vehement in stating that this is notthe case, and he has good reason. All ofBudget’s customer-driven policies not onlybenefit the customer, but also the business.

“You don’t want to end up doing the worktwo or three times,” he said. “You want tosatisfy the customer with a first time repair.If we sell a part that isn’t quality, the cus-tomer is going to be disgusted, and won’tcome here anymore. We’d rather go with aquality part and have the customer happy.That’s a big advantage.”

Right now, Budget is running specials onoil changes, AC charge or radiator coolantservices, work on brakes, and engine tune-ups. I

Budget Mufflers and Car Care is open from8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. After-hoursdrop offs are available.

U.S. Highway 40 Budget Car CareIn 1961, the Gray family got its kicks travellingcross-country on Route 40.

A lifetime love of cars shows in the work done andcustomer satisfaction. { TEXT AND PHOTO BY RYAN DINGER }

The popularity of NationalGeographic magazine has guar-anteed a longevity that currentlyboasts a 123-year existence. The

publication, a distinctively designed andglobally aware monthly known for its pho-tographic content as well as its articles,has survived many of its contemporariesand has even launched a web incarnation.Long ago, an article or mention in itspages was newsworthy, and among thecountless issues it has printed, Vinelandand this area of southern New Jerseyearned a small place of recognition at acelebratory moment in the town’s history.

During what appears to be the summerof 1960, Ralph Gray packed up his familyfor an Atlantic City vacation that wouldact as a prelude to a 3,000-mile cross-country drive to the West Coast. Graywrites that his urge to explore was spon-taneous, but his decision to discoverAmerica firsthand could easily have beenfueled by the recently published exploitsof a New York-based writer who revivedthe romantic notion of the open road.

Jack Kerouac, author and reluctantleader of the Beat movement, achievedfame with the release of his novel On theRoad, a fictionalized account of his cross-county adventures in the late 1940s. Thebook was published by Viking Press inSeptember 1957, and what ensued was apopulation’s renewed interest in travelingthrough small-town America to witness thelandscapes, cultures and customs residingthere. Four decades after the death of itsauthor, the book maintains the same allurefor some of today’s readers in spite of or,maybe more accurately, as a reactionagainst the country’s metamorphosis into acorporate climate of social networking.

Kerouac’s trajectory across Americaand back was as varied as his methods oftransportation. Hitchhiking and hoppingfreights, he was a passenger of buses, cars,trucks and trains, traveling alone or withcompanions from New York to the PacificCoast or to the southern realms ofLouisiana, Colorado and even into Mexico.

In 1960, Nobel Prize-winning authorJohn Steinbeck undertook his own jour-ney through America with his caninecompanion Charley, confining his travelsto much of the perimeters of the UnitedStates. His account of the trip, which

recent studies have deemed partially fic-tionalized, would appear in 1962 asTravels with Charley in Search of America.

Gray’s is a more refined itinerary.While attending an education conventionin Atlantic City, he read that the resortmarked the start of U.S. Highway 40. Hedecided to undertake, along with his wifeand four children, a journey along Route40 from Atlantic City to San Francisco,California. The vehicle of choice was thefamily station wagon by which theyexplored the history of various towns thatbordered or were situated within reach ofthe U.S. highway they traversed. Includingside trips, the Gray clan logged 17,000miles on their summer journey.

In the July 1961 issue of NationalGeographic, Gray’s article was published as“From Sea to Shining Sea,” and coincidedwith Vineland’s summer centennial cele-bration. It contained a brief mention ofthe town as well as some images of south-ern Jersey and hinted that the family didnot always confine themselves strictly toRoute 40.

“As we put Atlantic City behind us…werolled through the piny [sic] flats andtruck farms of southern New Jersey,”Gray writes of the early portion of thetrip. “West of fast-growing Vineland wecame to Seabrook Farms, one of theworld’s largest agricultural enterprises…aswe drove mile after mile past flat, fertilefields toward the giant quick-freezingplants. ‘I didn’t expect to see anything likethis till we got to Kansas,’ [Gray’s daugh-ter] Mary Ellen said.”

It wasn’t long before the Gray familyexited New Jersey, anxious to discover thesights of Delaware, Maryland and beyond,but the article makes note of the unas-suming nature of our area. “Far from look-ing like a vital national artery in this cor-ner of the Garden State,” Gray writes,“U.S. 40 winds amiably along, ignoring thepull of great cities to the north.”

Alas, there is no further mention ofVineland or this area in Gray’s article.However, an atlas map of the UnitedStates included as a supplement to theJuly 1961 issue is of local interest. In itsdepiction of southern New Jersey,between Camden and Atlantic City, theatlas clearly labels Vineland’s location, notvery far from U.S. Highway 40. I

How To Take the Anxiety Out of SeparationBy Jennifer Nelson, Assistant Director, DiBiase Preschool

The start of a new school year can be an exciting time for a lot of families. Forothers, it may lead to feelings of apprehension and worry. One issue I've foundparticularly relevant in the world of preschool education is separation anxiety.While not all children struggle with extreme cases, some will experience at least aslight sense of nervousness at the though of leaving their parents and the com-forts of home. As educators and caregivers, we understand that one of our mostimportant jobs is to do all we can to make the transition from home to school asnatural as possible and we strongly encourage our new families to begin thisprocess at home.Some things parents can do before sending their child off to school for the first

time might include:* Verbal Preparation: Begin talking with your child about going to school as

soon as possible. This will give you time to answer any questions he/she mayhave. You can also use this as an opportunity to get him/her excited about mak-ing new friends, learning new things and having fun in a new environment.* Take a Tour: Once your family has been assigned a preschool, make it a

point to pay a visit with your child. While you should be able to walk into anyfacility unannounced, you may want to check in with the director to choose a timethat will allow your child to observe the classroom during one of the more activeparts of the day.* Discuss the New Routine: Talk with your child about how he/she will be get-

ting to and from school and what time of day he can expect to be picked up.Figuring out your routine and sticking to it may be one of the most importantthings you can do in the way of offering assurance and providing a healthy levelof comfort to your child.When the big day finally arrives, we encourage parents to allow for some wiggle-

room in their schedules so they can take the time they need to get their child set-tled in the classroom before leaving for the day. We have also found that sendingnew children to school with a special stuffed animal and/or family photo can pro-vide some much-needed comfort during difficult moments. When it is time to say"goodbye," it is important for parents to assure their child that they will have a won-derful day and will be picked up just as soon as the school day comes to a close.As an educator and parent, I have dealt with separation issues on a profession-

al and personal level. I can promise that as difficult as it may be for some tomake that initial break; it does get easier. Before you know it, your child will beon his/her way to becoming an independent little learner. Good lunck to every-one beginning this exciting new journey!
