Carve for a Cure

Continued on page 2

Why is Election Day the secondTuesday this year?Why the first Tuesday after the first Monday?Lawmakers wanted to prevent election day from fallingon the first of November for two reasons. First,November 1st is All Saints Day, a Holy Day of Obligationfor Roman Catholics. Second, most merchants were inthe habit of doing their books from the preceding monthon the 1st. Apparently, Congress was worried that theeconomic success or failure of the previous monthmight prove an undue influence on the vote!

In next Tuesday’s (November 8) election, voters inCumberland County will choose a State Senator,two Assemblymen, a County Sheriff and four

County Freeholders.The race for control of the Freeholder Board is

especially significant as Democrats have a 4-3 major-ity on the board, but all four of those seats are up forgrabs in this election. Democrats have had control ofthe board for decades.

Freeholder candidates include Republicans JodyFarabella, William Gonzalez, Mary Gruccio andSandy Taylor, running against Democrats JimDunkins (current Freeholder Deputy Director), CarolMusso, Tony Surace andWilliamWhelan (currentFreeholder Director).

The race for Sheriff is interesting in that sittingSheriff Robert Austino (D) faces off against the for-

mer Sheriff, Michael Barruzza (R).In the New Jersey District 1 races, incumbent Jeff

Van Drew (D) looks to defend a challenge for hisState Senate seat by David DeWeese (R) whileincumbent Assemblymen Nelson Albano (D) andMatt Milam (D) will oppose Sam Fiocchi (R) andSuzanne Walters (R).

On election night, after the polls close, for up-to-the–minute election results, go to www.co.cumber-land.nj.us, click on county departments, then onBoard of Elections.

Also, starting at 8 p.m. on election night, QuinnBroadcasting & Communications will air onChannel 2 a discussion of county and state politicalraces. Moderator Jim Quinn will take calls from lis-teners and a candidate or two may even stop in toparticipate in the dialogue.

Race For Hope Funds Fight Against Brain TumorsVineland residents David Cavagnaro, Terri Cavagnaro, Michael Devito, Sarah

Devito, Josh Fisher, and Joan McQueeney are taking a step forward in the fightagainst brain tumors in the National Brain Tumor Society’s Race for Hope –Philadelphia on Sunday, November 6. They are participants joining peoplenationwide who want to make a difference for all those affected by braintumors. The Race for Hope - Philadelphia is one of 15 nationwide events organ-ized by the National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS) to raise both awareness andfunding for the fight against brain tumors. The 5K run/walk will take place atthe steps of the Museum of Art. Registration begins at 6:30 a.m. and programsand activities run 7:30 to 11:30 a.m.More than 6,000 people are expected to honor and celebrate loved ones

affected by brain tumors by taking part in the Race for Hope and raise morethan $1 million. Proceeds support NBTS’s mission to end brain tumors.“The Race for Hope is a chance for the entire Philadelphia community to

come together and support the fight against brain tumors,” said N. PaulTonThat, executive director for the National Brain Tumor Society. “Funds fromthe Race for Hope enable vital research that will lead to better treatments andultimately a cure. The Race for Hope also raises awareness that brain tumorscan strike anyone, and there is still no cure.”Each year over 210,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with a

primary or metastatic brain tumor; that’s over 500 people every day. Braintumors are the second leading cause of cancer death in children under age 20.Only one out of three adults diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor today willbe alive in five years. More so than any other cancer, a brain tumor can havelife-altering psychological, cognitive, behavioral, and physical effects.For more information about the Race for Hope, or to support a participant,

Salem County Cert TeamAwarded Flood ResponseTrailer

Deputy Freeholder Director DavidLindenmuth, chair of the County PublicSafety Committee, has announced that theNew Jersey Office of EmergencyManagement/New Jersey Citizen CorpsProgram is awarding a specially equippedCommunity Emergency Response Team(CERT) Flood Response Trailer to theSalem County CERT Team/Office ofEmergency Management. The award ofthe trailer to the CERT Team was basedon the team’s exemplary performance andstrong support of the Citizen Corps/CERTprogram in New Jersey.

“What a great way to honor our volun-teers on the CERT Team,” said FreeholderDavid Lindenmuth. “Hurricane Irene wasthe true test on how well our CERT Teamwas trained and prepared to deal withsuch a horrendous experience by B. J.Ayars and the OEM staff.”

According to the NJ Office ofEmergency Management website, theCERT concept dates back to 1985, whenthe Los Angeles Fire Department recog-nized that in the early stages of a disas-ter—earthquakes in particular—localemergency responders would be over-whelmed, and basic training in disastersurvival and rescue skills would improvethe ability of community members to sur-vive until responders or other assistancearrived.

Recognizing the universal value of thisprogram, the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency (FEMA) worked inconjunction with the Los Angeles FireDepartment to make the CERT programapplicable to all types of hazards anddeveloped a CERT training programwhich could be used nationwide andadapted to meet local conditions when theneed arose.

The tragic events of September 11 werea reminder that disaster can strike any-where or anytime, and that basic safety

and disaster survival skills can mean thedifference between life and death. CERTtraining empowers community membersto prepare responsibly and respondappropriately when emergencies occur.

“On October 5, 2011, at the Freeholdermeeting, CERT Team members were hon-ored along many other heroes from theHurricane Irene flood and other SalemCounty emergencies,” said FreeholderLindenmuth. “We were humbled by thevolunteers’ heroic actions. We are trulyblessed to live among these great people.”

The trailer is 6 x 12 feet in size andwhite in color. It is decaled on the exteriorto identify them as part of the NJOEM/NJCitizen Corps CERT program and alsothat it is specially equipped for FloodResponse duties. The total value of thetrailer and equipment contents is $10,102.

The trailer and equipment wasobtained via federal grant funds awardedto New Jersey specifically for the supportof the Citizen Corps/CERT program andmust be used exclusively in support ofthose programs.

Hearings on the ProposedSale of Cumberland Manor

The first of two public hearings washeld on October 24, at the CumberlandCounty Court House to seek comments onthe proposed sale of the CumberlandManor. The second Public Hearing will beheld on Thursday, November 10, at theHopewell Township Municipal Building(590 Shiloh Pike) at 6:30 p.m.

The Freeholder Board heard from awide range of stakeholders in the Manor,including employees, family members ofpatients, and other agency providers thatin some way benefit from the facility’sexistence in the county.

Deputy Director Jim Dunkins said, “Ifthe Cumberland Manor were to be sold,two of the primary concerns expressedwere that the current level of care bemaintained, and that critical considerationbe given to the present employees. Theseare very real concerns for all of theFreeholders. In fact, this process willallow the county to conduct its due dili-gence to ensure to the best of its knowl-edge, that any firm that wishes to bid onthis facility can demonstrate a history orprovide historical data as to how theyoperated other facilities that they haveowned or previously owned.”

Another key point made by the publicwas offered by a family member of a resi-dent at the Manor. He said, “Maybe somethings are worth paying for. Maybe thepublic would be willing to pay more thanthe 2 cent increase” to allow the county tocontinue to run the facility.

The hearings are an integral part ofhow the Freeholders respond to a recom-mendation to sell or keep The Manor. It isalso important the Freeholders learn from

the public input so that if a decision ismade to sell The Manor, issues raised bythe public can be addressed.

Manor Liaison, Freeholder TomSheppard added that “This is a difficultissue and as a Freeholder Board, we wantto be sure that we have had the opportuni-ty to fully understand the impact that apotential sale of the manor would have onour community.”

Here’s what I’m going to do: and I sin-cerely hope some readers will do thesame:

In a week or so I’ll qualify for my freeShopRite turkey or ham or lasagna. WhenI do, I’ll take my receipt to the servicecounter and simply tell them that I want itdonated to Project Thanksgiving.

My extended family alone (Italian in-laws too numerous to count) must earn 30turkeys. At least 20 of them go in thefreezer ’til spring. That’s where our turkeywent last year for about six months.

Well, here’s an opportunity to put thosebirds to work for a good cause.

My ShopRite happens to be at Lincolnand Landis but you can do the same at anyof their Cumberland County locations.

You have until Saturday, November 19.On that day, there will be ProjectThanksgiving tables set up at each storefrom 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. if you want to handover your donation in person.

If they’ll let me, I’ll be at my ShopRitethat day to shake your hand and thank youpersonally.

IDoe’s and Don’ts{ PAUL J. DOE, FORMER PUBLISHER OF THE CUMBERLAND NEWS }

DailyMail

Oneof my daily chores—and thelist seems endless—is bringingin the daily mail. Most of thetime it’s simple enough task, an

occasional catalog or bill and the never-ending (but I’m sure well-intentioned)offers to extend me credit. The catalogsand bills go to my wife and the offers go inthe trash, along with any and all politicalflyers.

Now, with the elections almost out ofthe way, several new infestations arethreatening to overrun my mailbox—Medicare sign-up news, holiday catalogsand (shudder) solicitations for donations.

All the Medicare stuff goes right in thetrash. I went though the whole sign-upthing several years ago and now prettymuch leave it to the friendly and efficientstaffs of my doctor and dentist to sort out.

Seems to me that a kinder, gentler andmore efficient way to handle that wholeMedicare business would have been tohave someone from Medicare call mewhen I became eligible.

What I got, though, was several hun-dred dollars worth of printed materialsthat I didn’t even try to wade through.

After a couple of routine doctor visits, Iended up on the phone with the goodfolks at Medicare, anyway. A five-minutephone call cleared everything up.

Now, suddenly it’s all back.It seems this is the Medicare enroll-

ment season and, although I’m already inthe program, there must have been someslight adjustments to Medicare that, onceagain, have the insurance vultures circling.

So far, I haven’t opened a single one,although I was tempted by the one withthe penny showing and the come-on onthe outside of the envelope: “If you paymore than this for your Medicare, pleaseread the enclosed offer.”

Wait, I did open that one, but only totake the penny.

I have my annual check-up scheduledsoon and I’m sure the doctor’s staff willinform me if there is a significant changethat needs my attention.In the meantime it’s all just more fodderfor the recyclers.

The holiday catalogs are a differentstory. Like a lot of folks, we do a certainamount of catalog shopping: It’s just eas-ier when you’re far removed from certain

friends and/or relatives.Plus, some of the catlogs have some

really neat stuff you can’t find locally.I’ve written in the past about how

much I hate shopping, except for myShopRite, which I still visit almost daily.

Pretty soon, my wife will start stackingthe catalogs next to my TV chair—officehours 8 p.m. to midnight, drop-ins notwelcome. When the stack gets highenough (any day now) that I don’t have tobend my arm to get one, I’ll start mybrowsing.

I’ll dog-ear the pages with anythingthat looks semi-interesting and then givethem another look in January, just beforethey get recycled. It’s a hassle-free, inex-pensive way to browse.

Last, but not least, in the mail peckingorder are the solicitations. I was raised ina Catholic, middle class family. We didn’thave a lot of extras, but we always hadenough. My parents gave regularly atchurch, and Mom sent a check every yearto the local Soup Kitchen run by theCapuchin fathers.

Dad sent a check every year to BoysTown (he’d lost his own father when hewas 11) until he found out how muchmoney they had and then he switched tothe Soup Kitchen fund.

My parents’ good deeds (and therewere plenty of them) were done forfriends and family. Dad, who could fixalmost anything, helped everybody—fromsimple faucet repairs for a widowedneighbor, to running irrigation pipes forhis brother-in-law who had lost a leg dur-ing WWII.

Mom, well, she’d bake you a cake if youhad a cold. That was her talent, baking.

Point is, they did what they could,when they could.

It’s a lesson I took to heart. So thesolicitations I receive in the mail go rightin the circular file.

I figure if they’ve got enough for a slickmail campaign, they can’t be hurting thatbad for money.

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t helpthose less fortunate.

For instance (don’t stop reading, I’mnot going to ask for cash), there’s a localProject Thanksgiving that seems to per-fectly match my giving profile.

Project Thanksgiving was started three

It provides some interesting diversionsthis time of year.

Vineland wasn’t Charles K Landis’first endeavor in establishing atown, nor would it be his last. Hisearly adult life was focused on

law in the Philadelphia area, but he soonbecame aware of how southern New Jersey,with its burgeoning rail lines, appealing cli-mate and ideal location, could be alluring toindividuals as distant as New England.Born in Philadelphia in 1833, Charles K.

Landis was the son of a civil engineer.According to the 1896 Biographical Review,he spent a portion of his youth in Georgiawhile his father was working there. Back inPhiladelphia, he studied law at the age of 15in the office of F. Carroll Brewster and, byOctober 1852, had passed the bar andopened his law office in Philadelphia. Healso established five or six successful build-ing and loan associations and was a mem-ber of the Democratic Club of the ThirdWard, Spring Garden.Within two years of his practice, Landis

turned his attention to real estate, settingthe stage for his future accomplishments.He discovered he had an aptitude for it andbegan to favor it over his legal work. In1857, he co-founded with Richard J. Byrnesthe Town of Hammonton.According to the Genealogical and

Memorial History of the State of New Jersey,Byrnes was also a Philadelphia native. Hewas born in 1830 and served an apprentice-ship at the Pennsylvania Freeman, a pub-lishing company, at the age of 10, proof-reading poems and newspaper articles. Atthe age of 16, after rejecting the idea ofjoining the priesthood, he entered lawschool, but unlike Landis, worked at animporting business and the MechanicsBank of Philadelphia.He left his bank position in 1857 to join

Landis in the real estate business, butmaintained a job as a stock and note brokeronWalnut Street in Philadelphia. Soon, thefirm of Landis & Byrnes was given anopportunity to sell a large amount of landwaiting to be developed in southern Jersey.The area was soon developed intoHammonton.The Genealogical and Memorial History

of the State of New Jersey credits Byrneswith christening the new town“Hammonton.” It also reveals that some of

the ideas Landis implemented in creatingVineland received a trial run whenHammonton was established.Faced with a territory similar to the

wilderness that was Vineland at the time,Byrnes chose to develop some of theHammonton land into farms to accompanythe residential community he envisioned.Landis began marketing the town by plac-ing ads in newspapers, targeting the NewEngland states much as he would fouryears later when promoting Vineland.The Biographical Review recounts an

incident that resulted from Landis’s mar-keting campaign. A newspaper in Augusta,Maine, which had carried an ad forHammonton, denounced the enterprise as“a swindle.” Landis immediately rented ahall in Augusta, advertising that he wouldpersonally appear there to speak aboutHammonton. Facing a capacity crowd, heopened his lecture by inviting the personwhose allegations had prompted this visitto take the stage and defend the accusa-tions made against Hammonton. When noone accepted the challenge, Landis plungedinto a sales pitch, refuting the “swindle”charge and illustrating the advantages ofjoining his new settlement. The lectureresulted in “a number of families” relocat-ing to Hammonton.Emboldened by the outcome of his

appearance, Landis booked other speakingengagements throughout Maine andMassachusetts to promote Hammonton.There is no evidence available to suggestthat a similar tour was undertaken whenVineland was founded.Landis remained in Philadelphia

throughout his brief partnership withByrnes, but by 1858, Byrnes had settled inHammonton and would remain a residentthere until his death in 1909. He continuedto develop the town he co-founded, earningthe respect of residents by serving as acommunity leader, as an official of variouslocal boards and as a judge of the court ofcommon pleas in Atlantic County.In 1859, according to the Genealogical

and Memorial History of the State of NewJersey, Landis “withdrew his interest” inthe firm of Landis & Byrnes. The appeal ofestablishing his own city began a two-yearquest for the right location. I

IVintage Vineland { VINCE FARINACCIO }

Vineland’s founder teamed with Richard J. Byrnes inestablishing Hammonton, which likely gave Landis theidea and drive to create his own town.

Go Ahead, ask anyone: Where should you go if you have dental fear and want a beautiful smile? As a patient, I know you have many choices as to where you have your dental care. That is why, for 30 years, I have run my practice from a philosophy that says, Everything Counts. The way you’re spoken to over the phone; the way it feels the first time you’re in the office; and the way you feel after your visits! The positive attitude you feel from my team, the warm smiles and care from the staff, the sense that you are valued and well cared for is no accident. That’s because once you choose “Rasner Dentistry,” we want it to be your last stop, and that is something we have to earn everyday! That’s why we’re confident in saying: “Ask anyone.”

Crowd Attends Backyard Composting WorkshopThe Cumberland County Improvement Authority, in conjunction with the

Cumberland Master Gardeners Program and Rutgers Cooperative Extension ofCumberland County hosted a Composting Workshop recently. Some 40 residentsbraved the season’s first nor’easter to attend and were rewarded in learning effec-tive ways to turn organic waste into compost. Master Composter Virginia Lambled the course instruction, which was held at WheatonArts. She has over 20 yearsexperience in environmental education with a focus on solid waste management,waste reduction, backyard composting, organic gardening and school gardens. Lambwill also spent time talking about soil nutrient analysis, compost tea and wormcomposting.

Dennis DeMatte, recycling coordinator at Cumberland County ImprovementAuthority, was also present. He briefly discussed the county’s recycling program.

More than 26 percent of the garbage we discard is organic waste—plant andfood materials that could be kept out of landfills and turned into rich compost,what gardeners call “black gold.” Organic waste decomposing in landfills is thenumber one source of the greenhouse gas methane, which is 20 times more potentthan carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the earth’s atmosphere. Eliminating organicwaste by composting effectively reduces greenhouse gas.

WheatonArts is home of the Cumberland County Master Gardeners Programand is a compost demonstration site where residents can see several working com-posters by different manufacturers.
