CompleteCare Health Network announces the addition


of the Reach Out and Read (ROR) program to their pediatric health centers. Founded in 1989, Reach Out and
Read is a nationwide program designed to incorporate
literacy into pediatric care.
After hearing about Reach Out and Read I was eager
and excited to bring it to CompleteCare, said Dr.
Jazmine Harris, a pediatrician at CompleteCare who
organized support for the program. I knew it was something that our providers would embrace and that would
also fit closely with our mission.
In June 2014 the American Academy of Pediatrics deemed literacy a vital part
of pediatric care and ROR helps engage young patients and their parents to make
sure reading is a priority. This link is made by having providers who see children
give brand new books to kids at each of their wellness checkups from age six
months to five years.
Currently health centers in all 50 states participate in Reach Out and Read and
each year medical providers at the nearly 5,000 locations hand out over 6.5 million books to children.
The link has been made between reading aloud to children and language development, said Dr. Harris. This activity not only strengthens a childs cognitive
skills, but it may also help them be more successful in school later in life, help
stressed children feel calmer, and help build a bond between parent and child.
Pediatricians and family medicine providers at five CompleteCare locations
where pediatric services are provided are currently participating in the program;
CompleteCare Pediatric & Family Medical Professionals in Bridgeton, Vineland
Health Campus in Vineland, and CompleteCare Medical & Dental Professionals in
Millville, Glassboro and Wildwood.
CompleteCare Health Network saw over 6,000 children age five and under in
2015 for pediatric services. Many of these kids will receive books through the
Reach Out and Read program this year.
To learn more about the Reach Out and Read program at CompleteCare call
Kimberly Tweed at 856-285-6702.

KEJZMAN
Continued from cover
They were honored for their many accomplishments in economic development and
for their work supporting health and education in our local and regional community, making it a better place through leadership, volunteerism, advocacy, and philanthropya philosophy that was set in
motion in the early 1950s by Helen and
her husband, the late Harry Kejzman.
In a speech given at the event, Gus
Fabietti spoke of his friends: Harry
Kejzman was a Holocaust/concentration
camp survivor who married his wife Helen,
whose family had been detained during
WWII in a Russion labor camp. Harry and
Helen were poultry farmers in Vineland
and they eventually opened the Buena
Vista Motel on land that had been a farm
field near Wheat Road on Rt. 40 in Buena.
They had two daughters, Lilly and Sherry,
who grew up working in the family business. That family business grew as the
motel expanded and became part of a
growing series of lodging and motel operations as well as apartments, condominiums,
commercial offices, warehouses, etc. The
Kejzman familys hospitality offerings have
included three operations in Cape May, the
Millville Motor Inn and Restaurant, and
until recently, the Ramada in Vineland....
The Harry and Helen Kejzman Foundation

began and the Holocaust Institute at


Stockton University benefitted from that
effort. Helen has been a contributor to the
Inspira Hospital System, the University of
Pennsylvania Hospital System, Cumberland
County College, Beth Israel Synagogue and
many other organizations who sought
assistance.... Life continues with the same
outlook, the same dedication, and the same
objectives that they shared in that little
motel in a farm field on Route 40 near
Wheat Road in Buena, NJ many years ago.
The Kejzmans are a true example of a
family that has lived the American
dream, said M. Jay Einstein, president of

The Guidance Center is a comprehensive mental health center providing professional services and programs for the
greater Cumberland County community.

Birthday Book Project Carries on McCollums Dream at


Dane Barse School in Vineland
The SNJ Today family is honored and excited to carry on the dream of Cara
McCollum by giving books to students on their birthdays. Thats precisely what
a group of McCollums friends did this past Friday at Dane Barse Elementary
School in Vineland.
The Birthday Book Project was started by McCollum in 2008. The Mission
of the Project is to provide underprivileged children in Title 1 schools with a
new, age-appropriate book on their birthday to help combat the growing illiteracy problem in the community.
Cara joined the Millville-based SNJ Today news team in the summer of 2015
as the lead anchor for the nightly newscast. After settling into her new position,
her goal was to get the Birthday Book Project started in our community but in
February, at age 24, she passed away as a result of a tragic car accident.
With guidance from McCollums parents, Rick and Maureen, a number of
her friends and colleagues formed The Cara McCollum Birthday Book Project
of Southern New Jersey. The local group kicked off the program on Friday at
Barse School, with the goal of expanding the program in schools throughout
southern New Jersey.
It is a bittersweet day for us, because our greatest wish would be for Cara
to be here handing these books to the children, said Stephanie Pustizzi,
board member of the Cara McCollum Book Project of Southern New Jersey.
Cara will forever remain in our hearts and we are privileged to take on her
dream and make it a reality in our area.
Jen Frie, a teacher at Dane Barse Elementary School and board member of
the Cara McCollum Birthday Book Project recently approached her schools
Principal, Mr. Joseph Camardo, to see if Barse School could be the first
school to kick off this worthy project. Camardo wholeheartedly agreed and
the first birthday book distribution took place there on Friday.
With your help, the program will deliver a new, gift-wrapped book to elementary public school children in grades K through 5th in Cumberland
County. You can make a donation of new books or contribute via
gofundme.com/birthdaybook.

Leachmans daughter, Dinah Englund.


During the shoot, the movie was still
called The Barlows and, like many of the
plays penned by the movies story writer
Tennessee Williams, it is set in the South,
but Vineland and the surrounding area, it
seems, were considered a suitable substitute location for filming the script. The
Millville Daily reported that the key reason this area was picked was that everything for filming is here, farms, workers,
crops, etc. Cast and crew were accompanied throughout the shoot by a state official as well as state police officers, who
handled traffic control.
The filmed story concerns Lyle, played
by Ron Howard, who is ready to leave the
migrant trail for work in the big city. After
he takes on an additional night job in a
factory where he meets Betty, who has her
own plans for escaping the area, he earns
enough to pay off a debt to a foreman, but
tragedy strikes when a relative dies and
the family is plunged back into debt. After
Lyle is falsely accused by Bettys father of
assaulting her, he and Betty are encouraged by his mother, Viola (Leachman), to
flee to Ohio and forge a better life. The
movie ends with a shot of the young couple in a car breezing past a road sign that
reads Cincinnati 19 mi. In reality, it was
a temporary addition to Route 55 during
the shoot.
The earliest filming seems to have been
in the Berrytown section of Port Norris.
According to reports in the Millville Daily
at the time, the crew shot scenes there on
Thursday, August 23, and returned the
next day for more filming.
Cumberland County was well-utilized
during the week-and-a-half shooting
schedule, with locations widely scattered
throughout the area, even though the completed film presents the illusion that the
setting is a relatively confined site. Farms
in Greenwich served as the migrants work
areas, Lyles factory job was filmed in
Cedarville and travel footage included Port
Norris roads, the Vineland-Bridgeton
stretch of Landis Avenue and Route 55.
Several interiors were filmed in Vineland
while scenes at the migrant shacks were
shot in Rosenhayn on the site of Joe
Parisis farm. I

n late August 1973, a Hollywood


film crew and a cast featuring a mix
of recognizable names and
unknowns had settled into
Cumberland County for several weeks to
shoot The Migrants, a television movie
about a family of nomadic farm workers
and the difficulties they encounter.
Vinelands Hollywood moment may not
have lasted long, but it left behind an
interesting tale.
The films plot centers on the Barlow
family as they journey through North and
South Carolina as part of a migrant caravan, camping for days in one place while
they pick beans, corn, tomatoes and peppers on nameless farms, earning meager
pay for their work, contempt from local
lawmen for their presence and debt from
the high-priced goods purchased in the
towns. The operation is a scam perpetuated by farm owners, foremen and law
enforcement who all stand to profit from
the situation.
Director Tom Gries, who also produced
the movie, brought with him experience
in both television and motion pictures,
earning two Emmy awards and directing
such notable works as 100 Rifles and
QBVII. He arrived in Vineland on August
22, 1973, with a 60-member entourage in
tow. Gries told local reporters that the
cast was comprised of six actors from
California, six from New York and
approximately 40 extras from
Cumberland County.
Included were two well-known actors
at the time, the recent Academy Awardwinning Cloris Leachman and a preHappy Days Ron Howard, who had played
Opie Taylor in the 1960s Andy Griffith
Show and had recently completed the theatrical film American Graffiti.
In retrospect, several members of the
cast were destined to become acclaimed
and recognizable actors in only a few
years. Sissy Spacek would soon launch a
successful career by appearing as the title
character in the film adaptation of Stephen
Kings Carrie. Cindy Williams, another
American Graffiti alumnus, would join
Penny Marshall in the sitcom Laverne and
Shirley. And in the 1980s, David Clennon
would earn attention as the villainous boss
on the television drama thirtyomething.
Also, making her movie debut was

Animal Shelter Continues


Shoe Collection Drive
South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter
& Cumberland County SPCA is conducting a shoe collection drive running until
November 5 to raise funds for the homeless pets in their care. South Jersey
Regional Animal Shelter & Cumberland
County SPCA organization will earn funds
based on the number of pairs collected as
Funds2Orgs will purchase all of the donated goods. Those dollars will benefit the
animals currently at the shelter. Anyone
can help by donating gently worn, used or
new shoes at the animal shelters' North
Delsea Drive location.
All donated shoes will then be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise partners in
developing nations. Funds2Orgs helps
impoverished people start, maintain and
grow businesses in countries such as
Haiti, Honduras and other nations in
Central America and Africa. Proceeds
from the shoe sales are used to feed,
clothe and house their families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned
enough to send to her son to law school.
We are excited about our shoe drive,
said Bev Greco, executive director. We
know that most people have extra shoes in
their closets they would like to donate to
us and help those less fortunate become
self-sufficient.

Antoinette Riccobene Finizio was born in


Brooklyn, NY, to immigrant parents Stefano
Riccobene and the late Providenza (Enza)
Boccone Riccobene, who both arrived separately from Sicily in the 1960s. They met in
the United States, both as clothing factory
workers. Stefano came to America looking
for work and opportunity. Enza came to
America to help give her family a better life.
Stefano and Enza married in 1965. They had
two children. Antoinette was their firstborn
and they had a son, Michael. The values,
solid work ethic, and family foundation
instilled in them guided Antoinette and
Michael to realize Stefano and Enzas version of the American dream today. Both
have succeeded in profound ways through
serving hearts.
As early as 5 years old Antoinette eagerly
translated Italian to English for the kindergarten parents that did not speak English at
PS 171 in Brooklyn, NY. She also translated
English to Italian for her grandparents, who
did not understand the programs on television. At 9 years old, Antoinette would run
errands and buy groceries for homebound
elderly Italians that lived on the block in

worked on fund raising with organizations


such as Sicilian American Club, Italian
Cultural Foundation, American Heart
Association, American Cancer Society,
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation,
American Red Cross, The Dream
Foundation, Christian Meditation Center, Big
Brothers Big Sisters and the Cumberland
County Republican Committee.
Antoinette values education and always
finds herself in a position to offer opportunities to those willing to work hard and rise to
the occasion. In 2013, under the direction of
Dr Thomas Dwyer, she was instrumental in
starting a Mini Residency Program which
spun into a A collaborative job shadow program between St. Augustine Preparatory
High School and Premier Orthopaedic
Associates. This program has now branched
out to other medical specialties in our area.
Students get to live a day (or two) in the
life of a physician, go into the operating room
and gain real life experience as they learn the
requirements of a medical career. To date,
over 200 St .Augustine Prep students have
come through the program to gain this valuable knowledge and experience.
About eight years ago, through OLMA
and Catholic Charities, Antoinette learned of
the struggle of the students and families of
the Haleyville School in Port Norris, NJ. The
mission took on a life of its own when real
people got to know the faces of the children
and families that came to be the benefactors
of the Christmas miracles each year. Warm
meals, shoes and clothes, Christmas presents,
Christmas trees, And bicycles to assist with
transportation to jobs are just some of the
blessings that Antoinette has had the good
fortune to spearhead.
Antoinette served on the Board of
Trustees for Ellison School for five years
and currently serves on the strategic planning committee for 2016-2018. She serves as
a board member for the Vineland
Downtown Improvement District and a liaison for the Design Committee. She enjoys
traveling, cooking, entertaining and attending her sons sporting events.
Antoinette has earned the respect and loyalty of all the lives she has touched, be it family, friends and colleagues alike. Her strong
roots, firm values, and determination have
grounded her as a committed business
woman and community minded individual.
Anyone who knows her knows that NO is not
an option. There is no problem without a
solution. She is dedicated to doing Gods
work and serving in any capacity which
requires her assistance.
She attributes her impact and ability to
serve to the love and support of her husband,
John and her sons, Gianni and Giuliano.
Their support allows her the freedom to
save the world, one cause at a time. She
attributes her work ethic to her parents. And
she is incredibly thankful for her brother
Michael, her village of family and friends
who always rise to the occasion in support of
any special cause. Antoinette, like her mother, hopes to leave her mark and in some small
way to leave this world a better place because
she lived. I

of Schad and Schad in 1984. The firms
founding members were his uncle, Francis X.
Schad, and his father, Louis F. Schad. David
passed his examination to achieve his license
as a CPA in 1986. Davids cousin, Thomas
Schad, had joined the firm in 1983. Tom was
Daves college roommate and they became
the principal partners in the firm in 1987
when it became Schad and Schad CPAs. The
firms accounting roots date back to 1948 in
the Vineland area.
David met Cheryl Wean while working in
Philadelphia. They were married in 1985 and
are the proud parents of Rebecca Schad.
They reside in Mullica Hill.
David has been actively involved and

Gloucester County, Michaels Ministry (an
organization that has distributed more than
50,000 free New Testament bibles to hospitals and medical offices over the last 15
years), and member of the Advisory Board of
Our Lady of Mercy Academy.
David is known for his passionate and
dedicated service to the causes he believes in.
He attributes this drive to his mother, Mary
Schad, who was a member of the Sicilian
American Club of South Jersey during its
early years. The organization has since
evolved into the Italian Cultural Foundation.

her beloved Brooklyn neighborhood.


Many remember her as the smiling
counter girl at La Conca DOro Bakery,
which Antoinettes family opened in the late
70s when the family left Brooklyn and came
to Newfield in southern New Jersey. The
entire family was involved in the bakery
business and quickly became involved with
the newly formed Sicilian American Club.
Antoinette attended Our Lady of Mercy
Academy. As a freshman, she was president
of the Italian Club and remained active by
attending the Bishop McCarthy Nursing
Home throughout her years at OLMA. She
would be accompanied by her Italian
teacher, Sr. Claudia, and many of her OLMA
sisters. The residents would enjoy Italian
conversation and songs with the girls.
Antoinette was named the first Bella
Signorina for the former Sicilian American
Club representing the organization in the
Italian Festa in Holmdel, NJ. She served as
the South Jersey Delegate for the Sicilian
American Club for one year. Antoinette was
active with the Sicilian American Club since
she was 16 years old and later served on the
Board of Trustees for five years.
The Sicilian American Club served as the
foundation for the love story of Antoinette
and John Finizio. They became acquainted
while bringing other young Italian
Americans together through an organization
called FIERI. Antoinette and John have been
married for 21 years. They have two sons
Gianni, 17 and Giuliano, 13. Both boys graduated from The Ellison School and currently
attend St Augustine Preparatory School.
They are often seen involved at the Italian
Cultural Foundation events alongside of their
parents and friends.
Antoinette served on the City of
Vinelands Quincentennial Committee in
preparation of the yearlong festivities that
celebrated the 500 year anniversary of the
discovery of America. She and her husband
John subsequently chaired the Italian Gala
ball for the next five years.
Antoinette attended Stockton University
where she obtained a Bachelors Degree in
Psychology with a minor in Business. During
her sophomore year in college, she studied
abroad in Florence, Italy, which allowed her
to perfect her love of the Italian language.
Upon graduation from Stockton,
Antoinette was mentored for six years by
the late Dr. Ronald Markizon where she
learned and executed the trade of Medical
Practice Building. She went on to work with
Bay Sea Physical Therapy for 13 years and
other successful local medical practices in
South Jersey.
She joined the Premier Orthopaedic
Associates team in 2004. She directs operations for the group of 88 employees including
17 leading Orthopaedic specialists in
Southern NJ. She prides herself on her contribution toward helping to build a balanced
team of individuals and personalities that
comprises this extraordinary team. Great joy
comes from the lasting relationships that she
has formed with many amazing individuals
which comprise the Premier family.

Realty Check
A broker/agents/investors tour of the
downtown aims to fill up the properties.

{ 16 } the grapevine | OCTOBER 12, 2016

ne of the initiatives of which we


are most proud is the tours we
have scheduled of available
downtown properties for real
estate brokers, agents, and investors; were
planning another one this month.
A project of our Economic Vitality
Team, this project has yielded real dividends the two times we have done it so far.
The first time, we were able to rent five of
the properties we showed and the last tour
bore fruit in the form of Mauros on the
Ave restaurant and lounge, which recently
opened next to the Landis Theater. We
want to repeat that success when we do it
again on Wednesday, October 19.
These broker/agent/investor tours have
been part of an ongoing aggressive plan to
re-brand our downtown for the future. We
have had some great support for our last
two tours and we want to thank our sponsors for the current tourColdwell Banker
Excel Realty, Finance of America
Mortgage, LLC, and Landis Title
Corporation.
We have several available properties of
various sizes downtown. Brokers, agents,
and investors can benefit by purchasing or
leasing these prime spots. It can be for
office space, a new boutique store, a microbrewery, coffee shop, or something else.
We want to fill these properties with quality, sustainable businesses, while attracting
a new generation of business owners and
customers to our downtown.
For the tour, were all going to meet at
12 noon at the Main Street Vineland office
for lunch and an overview (that Ill give)
on the vision for our downtown and the
incentives that can be offered. The tour
will then begin, as those participating will
be shuttled to each property. Were
requesting property owners to have factsheets ready for the brokers, agents, and
investors at the time of the visit. After the
tour, well all meet back at the Main Street
Vineland office for a wine-and-cheese
reception and an opportunity to network.
The whole event wraps up around 4 p.m.
Main Street Vinelands Business
Development Director Robert Scarpa
works hard contacting businesses about
coming to Vineland and the tour is one of
the major tools that helps him. Ill let him
explain why:
The need to attract new business people and residents to our downtown and to

add them to our downtown business mix is


essential. Whether they are baby boomers,
Millennials, Gen X, Gen Y, or another age
group, we want to attract the entrepreneurs and customers of today and the
future. They know the new business models such as pop-up stores, business incubators, makerspace, and hackerspace. Young
business leaders are very excited about our
downtown and establishing themselves
here. This broker/agents/investors tour is
an ongoing part of matching available
properties with potential business owners.
The future is now and I am excited about
working to fulfill our vision for our downtown.
Interested brokers, agents, and
investors need to contact the Main Street
Vineland office by calling 856-794-8653 or
e-mailing mainstreet@vinelandcity.org.
***
Speaking of rebranding for the future,
dont forget to join us the following
evening, October 20, at the Landis Theater,
as we take you on a journey from our
downtowns past, to its present, and to its
future as we unveil our downtowns new
brand at a party. Itll be high-energy, highimpact and will certainly get you excited.
Come at 5:30 p.m. for socialization and
networking over hors doeuvres. A vigorous, powerful multimedia, film, and theatrical program will follow at 6:30 to take
you on that journey. Youll all leave with
swag bags with the new logo on it and containing useful items, goodies, and specials
from our downtown businesses.
Premier Orthopaedic Associates is the
major sponsor for this event, and Capital
Bank of New Jersey is the Reception and
Networking Sponsor, Mauros on the Ave
will be catering the event. Stop in there
and have dinner and see for yourself one of
the businesses redefining our downtown.
***
Make downtown Vineland your destination for your shopping needs, as well as
for fun all year round. Save money on
gasoline, avoid the long lines at the big-box
stores, malls, and shopping centersand
also enjoy the events we have in town. I

Home Building Projects


Estimating Checklist

other vegetation? How about demolition of


existing hardscape (patios, walls, etc.)? Will
precautions be necessary to prevent soil
erosion during and after excavation? Are
there landscape features (like mature trees)
that need protection?
Excavation: Your estimates should
specify what is to be done, which may
include digging the foundation hole, hauling off unwanted fill, back filling after the
foundation is done, and final grading. If
there will be drains in or around the foundation, your excavation contractor may
install them, so references to crushed
stone and drain tile should appear on the
estimate.

What follows is a longyet hardly
exhaustivelist of costs common to home
building projects. You probably wont have
to add a line item for each of these for your
job, but if you see one you think youll
encounter and it doesnt appear on your
budget, find out why. Is it part of the contractors overall price? Or a subs? Dont
assume: Ask the question, then put the representation in writing. Here goes
Site Preparation: Do you need to
arrange for tree removal or clearing of

Foundation: Has the foundation contractor figured in pouring the footings,


walls, pads, bulkhead access, and/or slab?
Are there poured concrete walkways in the
plans and in the estimate? What about
insulating the foundation? If your designer
has specified it, the cost should be included
in the price. What about sealing the foundation with an asphalt-based or other sealer? Is that included in the price? Is other
drainage or is waterproofing necessary?
Framing: If the builder has prepared his
estimate on the basis of careful specifications, the estimate should cover framing the
walls, floors, and roof with a specified grade
of lumber. Green lumber might cause
headaches down the line, shrinking as it
dries. Kiln-dried hem-fir is the norm, but
you might want a higher grade of Douglas
fir. In some urban areas, steel studs are
required by the fire codes. The exterior
walls should be covered with sheathing and
the roof with a subroof of plywood, oriented
strand board, or roofers. If the design calls
for laminate or steel beams, steel columns,
or roof trusses, check to be sure the builder
has incorporated those into his estimate.
Roofing: The builder, or a roofing subcontractor, should specify the materials to
be used (asphalt, shingle, cedar, tile or slate,
per the specs), as well as flashing and roofing paper. Particularly in homes in colder
regions with dense layers of insulation,
ventilation is also important. Are there roof
or soffit vents specified?

Exterior Finish: Therell be a layer of


material wrapping the exterior of the house,
perhaps building paper or house wrap. The
type of siding should be specified (clapboard, shingle, brick veneer, board or batten), and the material (perhaps pine or
cedar) as well as the pattern. The door and
window trim, the corner boards, the trim at
the eaves (fascia, soffit, frieze, or rake
boards) should be consistent with the specifications or clearly described in the estimate.
In cases where you want your addition to
blend with your original house, you and the
contractor may be well served by a general
description like, Siding and other exterior
trim will be done in materials and a manner
consistent with existing exterior finish.
Masonry: If there is a chimney, fireplace, or stone or brick facing on the foundation, a mason will need to provide an
estimate to you, the GC, or the construction
manager. It should specify the type of brick
or stone. Ask to see a sample.
Insulation: Again, the specs should be
your guide, but whether insulation is
required in your climate to keep the heat in
or out, insulation is a sensible investment.
The kind, thickness, and R-factor of insulation for the walls, floors, and ceilings
should be specified, along with the vapor
barrier for interior surfaces.
Electrical, Plumbing, and HVAC: The
building code and the code enforcement
officer are your allies here for safety and
health concerns. Look for consistency with

Measure twiceor thricebefore making


any cuts. Its a rule of thumb that many
do-it-youselfers have learned the hard way.

the specifications (query any variations).


Make sure that you see, at least in a catalog
but preferably in person, any fixtures or
appliances specified. Verify model numbers, colors, and sizes. If additional capacity for hot water, heating, or cooling will be
required to service your added space, do
your estimates include the prices for a hot
water heater, furnace or boiler, air-conditioning components, or other equipment?
Windows and Doors: Doors and windows should be highly functional, yet they
also contribute significantly to the appearance and character of the house. Make
sure that your estimates describe doors
you like, and that quality lock sets and
weatherstripping are included. Are they of
a kind and quality consistent with those in
the existing house?

Interior Trim, Stairs, and Cabinetry:


Window and door trim, baseboards, other
moldings like chair and picture rails, and
cornices should be specified. Review the
sizes, wades, manufacturers, and model
numbers of cabinets; if the millwork is
custom, make sure the specs include grade
and type of stock to be used. If you are
adding a stairway, ask to see sample or
catalog descriptions of the stair components, including the treads, balusters, and
railing.
Kitchen Appliances, Hardware, and
Other Materials: Check the specifications
carefully to be sure you know exactly what
youre paying for. Affirm that what you
expect is what youre getting. Sometimes
its best to exclude these from the contract
altogether. Shop around on your own and
get some deals, but stick to the specs.
Changes in appliance sizes, for example,
can wreak havoc with cabinet orders.
Other Costs: Does the estimate
include rubbish removal and cleanup?
How about painting, interior and exterior?
Prime plus two coats of paint are a minimum; on new wooden floors, the finish
should be at least two and preferably
three or four coats of urethane. Have you
figured in such landscaping expenses as
topsoil, seeding, planting, and relandscaping? Landscape costs are often overlooked. That can mean a handsome renovation has little visual impact from the
outside because its setting is a tangle of

weeds or a bland expanse of lawn. Do


your estimates allow for even modest
plantings or walks and walls to accent the
architectural attributes of your house?
Have the Conversations Now: You
may not want to spend a penny more than
the sums already in your estimates, but if
pieces of the puzzle are missing, the finished work will end up looking incomplete, too. Have the hard conversations
now rather than later. You have much
more leverage before the work begins
than after its finished and most or all of
your money has been paid out.

Preparing Lawns for Winter

flowers before frost.


Leftover debris can be tilled into soil or
placed into compost pile.
Clean up weeds as they can harbor diseases and insects.
Add compost and other organic material
to enrich the soil.
Mulch beds to prevent erosion during
winter.
3. Clean up perennial flowerbeds.
Remove weeds.
After we have a couple of frosts, mulch
the perennial bed.
Tops of plants can be cut back now or in
early spring.
New perennials can be planted in fall;
established perennials can be divided; these

activities should be done in early fall (midSeptember to mid-October) to allow time


for plants to root before the soil cools.
4. Tree and shrub maintenance
Prune trees after they go dormant (lose
their leaves) or in early spring.
Prune late summer and fall flowering
shrubs after they go dormant.
DO NOT prune evergreens or springflowering shrubs in fall.
Trees and shrubs can be fertilized after
they go dormant or in spring.
Continue regular watering as long as
ground is not frozen.
5. Miscellaneous
Plant spring flowering bulbs in early fall
(mid-September to mid-October).

With a variety of season-end chores to


do, gardeners tend to neglect the lawn.
There are a few guidelines to consider
when preparing lawns for winter that can
help keep problems to a minimum.
As conditions cool down in fall, some
grasses go dormant faster than others, leading to multicolored lawns. For example,
warm-season perennial grasses, such as
nimblewill, appear as white or light gray
patches in the lawn. Crabgrass, a warmseason annual, dies off in early fall, leaving
brown areas in the lawn. Different cultivars
of desirable lawn grasses, such as Kentucky
bluegrass, may vary in how fast they go
dormant, which can add to the mottled
appearance of lawns this time of year.
One of the main problems facing lawns
over winter is snow mold disease.
Remember all the crusty patches early last
spring as the snow melted away? Lawns
left very high for the winter, along with
being covered with debris such as leaves,
are prime candidates for damage. Other
factors increasing the chances for snow
mold include excess nitrogen fertilizer,

Arbor Day Foundation


Offers Free Trees
The Arbor Day Foundation will
brighten up your fall by offering 10
free autumn classics trees or five free
crapemyrtle when you join the organization in October.
The free trees are part of the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundations Trees
for America campaign, a program
dedicated to environmental stewardship through the planting of trees.
Everyone who joins the Arbor Day
Foundation in October will receive five
free crapemyrtle trees or 10 free
autumn classics selected for your
area. The 10 autumn classics include:
two sugar maples, two red maples,
and one each of scarlet oak, sweetgum, northern red oak, silver maple,

shade, poor drainage, and excess thatch.


Avoid heavy snow mold development by
cleaning up fallen leaves and other debris
off your lawn. If the lawn is quite tall, a
final mowing may be needed; although it
could be too late if grasses have gone dormant and are matted down. Also avoid
packing down snow cover on lawns, as
slowly melting areas may be more prone to
snow mold early next spring.
Another lawn problem that can be very

white flowering dogwood, and


Washington hawthorn.
Members will especially enjoy
these trees during the autumn months
because theyll add abundant, vibrant
color to any yard or landscape for
years to come, said Matt Harris, chief
executive of the Arbor Day Foundation.
The trees will be shipped postpaid
at the right time for planting, between
November 1 and December 10. The
six- to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to
grow or they will be replaced free of
charge. Planting instructions will be
enclosed with each shipment of trees.
To receive your free trees, send a
$10 membership contribution with
your tree selection to Arbor Day
Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska
City, NE 68410, by October 31, 2016,
or join online at arborday.org/october.

visible early next spring is vole or field


mouse damage. These animals will leave a
series of winding trails in the grass as they
burrow under snow cover. Cleaning up
leaves and mowing until the end of the season will help minimize damage. In addition,
remove any excess vegetative debris near
lawn areas, as it could be cover for voles.
Finally, one last problem to consider this
winter is salt damage to lawn grasses. Avoid

Autumn is a wonderful season until its


time to rake leaves. This year, recycle your
leaves at home rather than burning or
sending them to a municipal compost site.
Burning pollutes the air and makes breathing difficult for people with respiratory disorders. Instead of sending leaves to a commercial or municipal compost facility and
then buying them back as compost next
year, reap the benefits directly by using
your own leaves in a variety of ways.
In heavily wooded areas with native
stands of trees, let the leaves lie as they fall.
The trees need the natural leaf litter. Leaves
enrich the soils nutrients and quality for
maximum root growth. However, if you have
lawn beneath the trees, the leaves must be
removed or the grass may be smothered.
As you clean up the garden in fall, till or
dig leaves into vegetable and annual flowerbeds to improve the soils quality and tilth.
Shredded or chopped leaves make wonderful mulch around trees, shrubs and
perennials. Leaf mulch is an attractive dark
brown and slowly decomposes releasing
nutrients to the plants. Prevent matting by

shredding or chopping leaves. A lawn


mower with a bag attached is an easy way
to chop and pick up leaves simultaneously.
After the soil freezes in late November
insulate roses and perennials with crinkly
dry leaves instead of straw.
Oak leaves may be chopped and used as
mulch or tilled into gardens.
In addition to falling leaves, vegetable
and bedding plants are dying and beginning
to decompose as the growing season draws
to a close. Now is the ideal time to start a
backyard compost pile. It is easy, economical and does not smell.
Backyard composting offers more than
just a way to get rid of plant material.
Compost is an excellent way to improve
yard and garden soil, especially the clay soil
dominant in our area. Adding organic matter such as compost loosens clay soils,
improves drainage and slowly releases
nutrients. In sandy soil, compost holds
moisture longer and provides nutrients.
By following a few simple rules your
compost project will be successful. Start by
constructing some type of bin to hold the
materials. Bins may be as simple as poultrywire cylinders held up with a few stakes or
as elaborate as specially constructed wood
and wire bin systems. Piles need to be a
minimum of 3 by 3 by 3 feet for best
decomposition. Bins must be constructed
so air can reach the composting materials.
All organic matter eventually decompos-

How to Store Warm Weather Gear for Winter


Its that time of year when the weather turns crisp, colors brighten, and
there are a dwindling number of perfect days left to relax outside or take one
more drive, ride, or trip to the lake or shore. Too soon, it will be time to put
away your classic car, boat, motorcycle, and patio furniture, until warm weather
arrives again.
Proper storage techniques will help keep your gear in great shape and running order. To make sure you are ready to roll next spring, heres a list of simple
storage tips:
Storing a classic car or motorcycle. Its important to clean and remove all
road grime, dust and other debris from all interior and exterior surfaces before
storing. Then, after cleaning, make sure to protect hard surfaces and finished
leather with a protectant. Also, remember that old gas breaks down over time
and can lead to gummed-up fuel lines, carburetors and injectors. To avoid
these issues, fill your fuel tank 95 percent full with fresh gas and add a quality
fuel stabilizer to keep the gas fresh for as long as 24 months. After the stabilizer is added, run the engine for a few minutes to ensure that the stabilizer gets
into all parts of the fuel system.
Storing your boat and water equipment. Its best to do a thorough cleaning
of your boat to avoid any deterioration while it sits in storage. Start by removing all the dirt and grime from the boats surfaces with a cleaner/degreaser,
and protect the exterior of the boat with a marine wax. Fill the gas tank 95 percent full with fresh fuel and add a fuel stabilizer. Store your boat in a cool, dry
place and cover it to keep dust away.
Storing small engine equipment. Most fuel available today contains ethanol,
and ethanol can wreak havoc on small engines if theyre not treated before
storage. Over time, the water and ethanol will separate and sink to the bottom
of the fuel tank, leading to corrosion, stalling and engine damage. To make sure
your engines start up come spring, fill your tank with fresh fuel and add a stabilizer to the tank. Its also a good idea to store your small engine equipment
indoors to protect it from the elements.
Storing patio furniture. Before putting your outdoor oasis away, make sure
to wash or brush off any loose debris. Remove surface stains with a cleaner
and make sure to protect your cushions from future spills and spots with a fabric guard. Make sure to apply it in a well ventilated area and let it dry before
storage. Finally, protect the hard surfaces of your furniture with protectant to
repel dust and prevent fading and cracking.

either one can cause problems. Compost


materials should be about the wetness of a
wrung-out sponge. Anaerobic bacteria dominate wet compost piles and create bad odors.
The solution is to add air by turning or mixing the pile. If too dry, the materials will
decay extremely slowly. Keeping the pile covered is one way to control moisture levels.
Turning every week or two mixes the
materials, speeds decomposition and is a
good way to monitor progress. Finished
compost is well worth the small amount of
effort. For more information contact your

es, but mixing green and brown materials


together in a ratio of half green and half
brown will speed the process. Green materials, such as grass clippings or fresh green
plant parts, supply nitrogen. Brown materials, such as dead leaves and plants, are high
in carbon. Mixing the two assures good
conditions for the microbes and fungi that
actually decompose the plant material.
The smaller the plant materials are, the
faster they will decompose. Shred, chop, or
mow before putting them in the bin.

I Guest Column
{ BY DAVID COLE, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS }

On the Ballot
David Cole is the Democratic nominee for U.S. House
of Representatives, 2nd Congressional District.

{ 26 } the grapevine | OCTOBER 12, 2016

hile the rest of our country


experiences an economic
recovery, South Jersey is
getting left behind. Too
many people cant find work and have had
to take jobs with less pay. Wages for workers are flat, while the cost of living for
families rises. Its 2016, and women still
dont make the same pay as men for doing
the same job. Our region has the highest
rate of foreclosures in New Jersey.
Students and seniors alike are leaving our
state in droves.
In short, our economy is broken, and
real people our families, friends, and
neighbors are paying for it. But it doesnt
have to be this way.
Im running for Congress because I
believe that we all deserve a fair shot at
success. To get there, we need an economy
that works for everyone. This will require
the best public schools and higher education, and a modern transportation and
communications infrastructure to connect
our region and the world.
I was born and raised in South Jersey,
where we value hard work and service to
others. I graduated from high school in
Gloucester County, and college at Rutgers,
and live with my wife in Mantua,
Gloucester County, today.
As a software engineer, I know firsthand what it takes to build a successful
business in todays economy. I have experience getting things done in Washington
and growing a small business after the
recession. After serving in the White
House as a Senior Advisor for technology,
I worked in the private sector as an early
employee with a new tech company, and
helped grow it to more than 50 employees
in two years, delivering a cutting-edge
product to millions of users.
We need a vision to get South Jersey
back on track. We can build a modern,
more inclusive economy, but we have to
work together. We can put people back to
work by making common-sense investments to grow our economy, strengthening
education, taking care of our seniors and
veterans, and closing the tax loopholes that
reward companies for shipping jobs overseas. The stakes have never been higher.

Im deeply disturbed by General Mills


decision to close the Progresso plant in
Vineland. I am concerned for the 370
workers who will lose their jobs and the
families they support. They deserve a representative in Congress who will be on
their side and work to develop new opportunities in South Jersey.
Instead, our current Congressman
Frank LoBiondo has taken thousands of
dollars in campaign donations from
General Millss corporate PAC, including
$3,500 in the past year alone.1 In fact,
three out of every four dollars his campaign raises comes from corporate and
special interests.2 The American people
rate head lice over Congress job performance. Thats in large part because of the
corrosive effect of money in politics.
My campaign has never taken donations from corporate PACs. We work
directly with workers who are struggling,
whether at the Taj Mahal or the Progresso
plant. We work with the local organizations to give more people a voice in our
democracy. We are fighting to bring
change to South Jersey. Its time to start
building for our future. This is our chance
to do it. Please join our campaign by voting to take South Jersey in a new direction
this election day. I
David Cole is the Democratic nominee running against Rep. LoBiondo for Congress in
New Jerseys 2nd Congressional District.
Cole is a software engineer who knows firsthand what it takes to build a successful
business in todays economy. He has experience getting things done in Washington as a
Senior Advisor at the White House.

Memorial Reading Garden Dedicated at Rieck Avenue School


The sun shone brightly on the crowd that gathered last Tuesday morning,
October 4, in the courtyard of Rieck Avenue Elementary School in Millville. They
had come together to dedicate a reading garden that had been created there in
memory of Melissa Ann Headley. The second grade student was tragically killed
in an automobile accident in May of 2015. Melissa Ann loved reading, writing
and being outdoors, so Rieck Avenue School students, teachers and parents
joined with Headleys family to build a memorial reading garden for the students
to use as an outdoor classroom or a quiet place of reflection.
A series of fundraisers had been held over the course of the past year and a
total of $17,000 was collected for the project. Plus, Leider Landscaping donated
the labor and provided the trees, shrubbery and hardscaping supplies at their cost.
Melissa was truly a gift from God for us, she was a miracle. She was so
bright and shiny from the beginning, so curious about the world, said Franklin
Headley, Melissas uncle.
Melissa was just so full of life. She was very, very intelligent, very creative,
said Cheryl Calvert, pictured speaking below, first-grade teacher at Reick Avenue
Elementary School. She loved nature, she was a wonderful reader and writer
and we wanted to come up with a way to honor her memory.
Its built to accommodate two to three classes, so we can have a whole grade
level out here at one time for reading. The children can come out here to write,
and hopefully [do] music and art projects, said Calvert.
So many people were involved in this project so just to thank everyone and
for everyone to see what the future will hold for the area, that we will never forget
Melissa and that something positive came out of a tragic situation, said Calvert.
I think for us this reading garden is a monument to Melissa, and its a monument how a very little person saying and doing very little things really add up to
something big, said Headley.

Many in the assembled crowd were seated on the hardscaped benches beneath the
shade of the newly planted trees as principal Dr. Robinson, above, and teacher Cheryl
Calvert, below, shared reflections of Melissa Ann Headley.
