ineland residents will finally find out who will
occupy the mayors office and the five seats on city
council after voting next Tuesday, December 18. The
run-off election date was rescheduled fromDecember 4,
due to the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the election
process. The run-off election ballot includes the two may-
oral candidates and 10 city council candidates who gar-
nered the most votes in the November 6 general election.
The City of Vineland requires a runoff election when:
1. No candidate for mayor receives at least 50 per-
cent of the votes cast, plus one vote (a runoff between
the two highest vote getters is required).
2. No two candidates for city council receive at least
50 percent of the votes cast each, plus one vote (a
runoff between the 10 highest vote getters is required).
Polls will be open on December 18 at 6 a.m. and close
at 8 p.m. Vote-by-mail applications may be filed in the
County Clerks Office at the Court House in Bridgeton for
voters who cannot make it to their polling place for any
reason. The applications must have been received by the
County Clerk not later than December 11, unless applica-
tion is made in person or via an authorized messenger
during the County Clerks office hours, but no later than 3
p.m. the day prior to the election.
In an effort to inform voters of the choices for mayor
and council candidates, The Grapevine is reprinting
biographical information sent earlier by each candidate.
To view position statements, go to the archives at
www.grapevinenewspaper.com and visit the October 24

$350 million complex to local business
owners.
Nametko began his brief speech to the
room with a simple question: Who in the
room has children that play travel sports?
About 20 of the nearly 150 people in
attendance raised their hand.
You see? said Nametko, who founded
Magic Sports. This is an industry that has
a lot of participation. Residents of
Vineland not supporting this dont know
what it does. This is an industry that can
bring in excess of $300 million to
Vineland, annually, drawing people into
the area from Connecticut all the way
down to Maryland and perhaps even fur-
ther. What else can you put on 300 open
acres that will do the same?
Much like it was five weeks ago, the
positive economic impact of the massive
sports facility was once again the theme of
the pitch. Nametko discussed the injection
of money into the local economy, while
Filipek focused on job creation.
Weve done some projections, and we
think we can create 1,200 to 1,500 tempo-
rary construction jobs for both the sports
facility and the hotel, while creating
somewhere in the range of 1,000 perma-
SPORTS
Continued from cover
Greg Filipek, CEO of Sora Northeast Development, talked about financing the $350
million project, including the investment of his own money.
nent jobs between the two, said Filipek,
who is the CEO of Sora Northeast
Development, the company that has
agreed to finance the project.
While there was generally a positive
reception for the proposal from the area
business owners in attendance, some of
them did have their reservations.
I am concerned about the funding of
this project, said Gary Galloway, who
owns Rental Country. We had the
Millville Motorsports Park, which seems
similar to this, and they recently declared
bankruptcy and burned a lot of business
owners. How can we know this wont hap-
pen again with [the Magic Sports
Complex]?
The financing, were currently work-
ing on, replied Filipek. Weve secured it
for the pre-development. Our second
phase will be finalized by the end of this
year. And the overall funding should be
secured in the first quarter of [2013]. We
have a majority of that in place already.
Its an unusual situation because were not
going through a bank, but we expect to
have the needed financing in place.
I want to mention that Im investing
in this project with my own money, he
added. Its something I believe in. At
Sora, were concerned not just with build-
ing the facility, but building the communi-
ty. It needs to be a win-win-wina win on
all sides, otherwise we wouldnt do it. I

Collis Honored by Special
Olympics NJ
Special Olympics New Jersey (SONJ)
honored individuals and groups for their
dedication and commitment to the mis-
sion of Special Olympics at their annual
Awards Dinner recently. Among those
honored was Nancy Collis of Millville,
who was named the 2012 Individual
Volunteer of the Year at the Chapter Level.
Collis began volunteering with SONJ
in the late 1970s, when a friend asked
her to help out with the awards at a local
track and field competition. From there,
she recruited other volunteers to design software to more efficiently manage the
competitive events and awards ceremonies, creating a sophisticated event manage-
ment system. While still organizing and executing awards ceremonies that would
recognize the achievements of thousands of athletes in her area, Collis became
further involved in other aspects such as fundraising and area management.
The Volunteer of the Year at the Chapter Level award is reserved for an individual
who best exemplifies voluntary action to the statewide Special Olympics program.
Nancy Collis is presented with the award by Board of Directors Chairman Don Slaght.
Local Bankers Honored for Years of Service
On November 14, six local bankers were awarded Certificates of Service by the
New Jersey Bankers Association. The service awards were presented to: Vic
Peters, VP Business Development (Williamstown), and Lauren Allonardo,
Assistant Branch Administrator (6th St. Operations), for 15 years of service;
Greta Weaver, Vice President/Audit (Operations), and Pete Capizola, Senior Vice
President/Business Development (Main Rd.) for 20 years of service; Brenda
Johnson, Staff Auditor (Operations) for 25 years of service, and Karen Camiolo,
Human Resources (Operations) for 30 years of service.

On December 18, Vineland residents have a clear choice in
the 2012 Runoff Election. Our opponents believe everything
is fine and have offered no plan for the future except to
continue business as usual.
I believe business as usual is not an option. We need new
ideas and new leadership in city government with an unwavering
commitment to reducing the tax burden, encouraging
development opportunities, and improving our quality of life.
To this end, The Bermudez Team has detailed a specific plan for
positive change based on three guiding principles:
Vote for Real Change on December 18
It has been a privilege to present
my ideas and proposals to the
citizens of Vineland. I believe we
have put forth a plan that is both
realistic and achievable in order
to earn your vote. I ask you to
consider our ideas for moving
Vineland forward over the
next four years.

A
s the holidays approach and the
possibilities of a New Year arise,
United Way of Greater
Philadelphia and Southern New
Jersey (UWGPSNJ) in Cumberland County is
set to start 2013 in a big way, as we strengthen
our Impact agenda to improve Education,
Income and Health for even more
Cumberland County residents.
This plan kicked into high gear in July,
when United Way of Greater Cumberland
County joined forces with six other United
Ways to formUWGPSNJa regional organiza-
tion committed to improving lives and creating
community-level impact in the areas of
Education, Income and Health. The communi-
ties served include Pennsylvanias Chester,
Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia coun-
ties, and New Jerseys Atlantic, Burlington,
Camden, Cape May, and Cumberland counties.
At the heart of the merger was the realization
that together, we would be stronger. And by
sharing resources, talents and relationships,
we can address the root causes of chronic
community problems more effectively in each
of our local communities.
STRATEGY: Were also bringing a fresh
approach to grant-making and community
investment, with a focus on delivering measur-
able results and targeted outcomes in each of
our priority areas. With this transition comes
renewed support for Cumberlands core focus
areas of Education, Income and Healthand
together, with teams of volunteers and com-
munity experts, were assessing community
needs and developing effective strategies to
address them. We believe that strategic invest-
ments and collaborative partnerships are the
most effective ways to support sustained pos-
itive change in Cumberland County.
For example, we recently announced a
Request for (Funding) Proposals to support
our Education initiative. This competitive
grant process will support non-profit pro-
grams that effectively address truancy, an area
of great concern among Cumberland Countys
youth. Research has shown that one of the
single greatest markers of a student at-risk is
the number of days he/she spends in school.
By targeting middle school and junior high
students, we can engage our youth during
these vulnerable adolescent years and help
them stay on track to high school graduation.
And this is just the beginningwe will roll out
other innovative funding strategies over time.
LEADERSHIP: In addition, we recently
appointed Clare Sapienza-Eck, Vice President
of Business Development and Physician
Services at South Jersey Healthcareand a
pivotal community leader and volunteer
Chair of our Local Operating Board, com-
prised of 15
members from
the Cumberland
County commu-
nity. Clare has
worked in
Cumberland
County for more
than 17 years and
has served on
United Ways Board for many years. She will
also serve as one of two volunteers from
Cumberland County on the UWGPSNJ
Regional Board of Directors.
VOLUNTEERS: Volunteers like Clare
remain at the forefront of our work in
Cumberland County, and the upcoming
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) pro-
gram is a shining example of volunteerism in
action. This annual free tax preparation pro-
gram targets households making less than
$50,000 and often results in a much needed
economic stimulus for these families. Last
year alone, the VITA program in Cumberland
County prepared 900 returns, translating into
nearly $850,000 in refunds for local residents.
This year, we estimate that over 20,000 local
residents will qualify and by accessing VITA,
will save hundreds on tax preparation fees.
These dollars can instead be used to pay
down debt, save for homeownership or other
investments, or to make local purchases. This
program is free and will begin in early
February for eligible residents. Those interest-
ed in becoming a VITA volunteer tax preparer
should contact our office at 856-205-1880.
IRS-supported training will be provided.
As we look toward 2013 with renewed hope
and optimism for our residents, we encourage
you to pledge your support. Like you, we
remain challenged by the still-sluggish econo-
my, but we are also energized for the coming
year as part of a larger United Way family. And
with our new Board Chair and a re-energized
focus on local results, we hope to once again
galvanize the community to meet this years
fundraising goal. Together, we can create
community-level change by improving educa-
tion for children, income stability for families
and health for all. Please join us in contribut-
ing to a more prosperous Cumberland County
in 2013. For more information, visit

Amerigo Falciani, DO
Medical Director
A
s in the past, I want to give you
an end-of-year summary of the
activities and accomplishments
of our four standing commit-
teesOrganization, Promotions, Design,
and Economic Restructuring. Ill fill you in
on the projects theyre working on and, for
those of you who are new to this column,
Ill briefly explain each committees role.
As the Organization Committee is the
first committee to meet during the month
and as it contributes the resources that make
the work of the other committees happen, it
will come first. Chaired by Jason Scythes, it
continues to move forward proactively.
Money and volunteers make up the
lifeblood of any Main Street district.
Through fundraising efforts to seek dona-
tions and sponsorships, we make sure that
we have the money to fund our projects.
Through volunteer recruitment and reten-
tion efforts, we make sure that we have
people interested in helping with our proj-
ects, programs, and events. Our fundraising
and volunteer subcommittees work hard on
many initiatives to meet these goals.
A strong fundraising program is more
imperative now than ever. That means cre-
ating fundraising plans to cover donations,
contributions, and sponsorships.
Fundraising drives and events are part of
this plan. Our successful A Taste of
Vineland eventsthis year and last year
were not only financially successful but
also created awareness of Main Street
Vineland and the many great restaurants in
Vineland. Other fundraising initiatives are
being planned for next year and you will be
reading about them in future columns.
Our organization needs worker bees to
put projects into action, which makes vol-
unteer recruitment and retention efforts so
important. Brenda Ramos heads the
Volunteer Subcommittee and she is plan-
ning to bring more interested people to
Main Street Vineland.
To communicate the purpose and suc-
cesses of Main Street Vineland to potential
volunteers, we have had Volunteer
Information and Networking Events
(VINE). This has included an informative
and entertaining PowerPoint presentation
and a meet-and-greet with Committee
Chairs and current volunteers.
We continue to take Main Street
Vineland on the road through speaker
presentations for various clubs and organi-
zations. As with the VINE event, informa-
tional and volunteer recruitment brochures
are handed out at these presentations.
Each April, we honor our outstanding
volunteers at our Volunteer Recognition
Brunch. Awards are given out, including the
Presidents Volunteer Service Award. When
you measure the time, effort, and dedication
put in by our volunteers, you see the degree
of pride that exists in these people in mak-
ing our downtown the best it can be.
For three years, our volunteer recruit-
ment and retention programs have been
sponsored by Capital Bank. Their support
has gone a long way to making these pro-
grams possible and we thank Capital Bank
for partnering with us in this.
Another responsibility of the Organization
Committee is to provide information about
Main Street Vineland activities and the
businesses that make up our downtown.
Our newsletter, Downtown Update,
appears regularly in this newspaper and
highlights upcoming Main Street Vineland
activities, along with activities of Landis
MarketPlace. Information is also shared
among the four committee chairpersons at
our monthly Chair Chatanother initiative
of the Organization Committee.
I want to thank Jason and Brenda, as
well as the other volunteers whose dedica-
tion is so important to the Organization
Committees work.

During the holiday shopping season,
make downtown Vineland your destination
for buying that special gift, as well as for
fun all year round. Save money on gasoline,
avoid the long lines at the malls and shop-
ping centers, and also enjoy plenty of enter-
tainment that we have right in town. I

Christmas Classic
The Landis Theaters film selection for tomorrow evening brings to mind a song
of the same name.
S
omehow the idea of opening a
Christmas film on the eve of a
World War II battle seems incon-
gruous. An American troop is
enjoying a brief respite from fighting by
watching a variety show staged by fellow
soldiers and witnessing the birth of a
song and dance team. But the gloom of
the impending battle is present in the
Hollywood set and in the newly assigned
general who orders the entertainment to
stop. His predecessor delays carrying out
that command, setting the wheels of
White Christmas, the Landis Theaters
holiday film selection on Thursday
evening at 7:30, into motion.
This prologue is particularly moving in
its rendering of the title song by Irving
Berlin whose tunes provide the movies
soundtrack and are performed by a cast
led by Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye,
Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen (actu-
ally Trudy Stevens who provided Ellens
singing voice) But it wasnt the tunes first
appearance in a movie or as a recording.
The history of the song White
Christmas begins in 1940 when Berlin
wrote it. According to film sources,
Crosbys first performance of it was on
his CBS radio show on Christmas Day
1941. The singer recorded it in May 1942
before it found its way into the cinema
that year when Crosby was teamed with
Fred Astaire in the first Berlin showcase,
Holiday Inn, for which White
Christmas won an Oscar for Best
Original Song. Four years later, Crosby
and Astaire appeared in a second feature
with a Berlin soundtrack, Blue Skies.
The continued popularity of White
Christmas on the seasonal hit parade
made Paramount eager to reunite the two
stars in 1949 for a film of the same title. It
would utilize old and new Berlin material
in a storyline partially based on a new
musical the composer had been putting
together. Film sources report that, upon
reading the script, Astaire turned down
the role of Phil Davis, the comic half of
the popular performing duo Wallace and
Davis, thus putting an end to his and
Crosbys screen reunion.
A logical replacement was Donald
OConnor, fresh from his brilliant per-
formance in Singin in the Rain. He signed
on but was forced to leave at the start of
production because of ill-
ness. According to the
Turner Classic Movies web-
site, when Kaye was
approached, he asked for an
extraordinary sum of
$200,000 and 10 percent of
the gross, expecting
Paramount to turn him
down. Instead, they agreed
to it, calculating that post-
poning production until
OConnor recovered would
amount to the same price.
Clooney and Ellen, as the
Haynes sisters whose con-
trived meeting with Wallace
and Davis blossoms into
romance, add to the enter-
tainment, particularly Ellen
who provides several spell-
binding dance sequences
choreographed by Robert
Alton and a young uncredit-
ed Bob Fosse. Clooney, natu-
rally, provided her own
singing, and in the case of
the tune Sisters, is actually singing both
parts of the siblings duet. According to
film sources, Clooney was prevented from
taking part in the sessions for the sound-
track album of the movie because of her
recording contract at the time and was
replaced on vinyl by Peggy Lee.
Director Michael Curtiz, who had pre-
viously helmed a series of Warner
Brothers films including the classic
Casablanca, used White Christmas as his
Paramount debut. It became the biggest
hit of his career.
Filmed in the autumn of 1953, White
Christmas was released the following
year, earning what sources claim was the
highest box office figure for a cinema
release that year at $12 million. The sec-
ond highest grossing film of 1954, The
Caine Mutiny, wasnt even close at $8.7
million.
Over the decades, White Christmas has
joined the top rank of holiday movies, but
it never reached the peaks achieved by its
title song. Sources report that, in addition
to climbing to the top chart position sev-
eral times in the 1940s, the tune enjoyed
the prestigious achievement of remaining
the best-selling record for over 50 years.
Theres no denying theres something
special about this particular Christmas
song, whether its part of a feel-good
movie like the Landis Theaters Thursday
offering or the track playing on your CD
player, iPod or turntable. Its message
May your days be merry and bright, and
may all your Christmases be whiteis
what really matters. I
The 1954 classic White Christmas had a
star-studded cast, including Rosemary
Clooney and Bing Crosby in lead roles.

NJ Wineries Shipping This
Holiday Season
New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture
Douglas H. Fisher recently visited Auburn
Road Vineyards in Pilesgrove to showcase
New Jersey wines that can now be mailed
as gifts this holiday season directly from
the winery. Governor Christie signed a law
in January permitting direct shipping by
New Jersey wineries, joining 38 other
states in the nation that allow small winer-
ies to mail their products to customers.
New Jerseys wineries produce some of
the best wines in the world that have
placed well in international competitions,
said Fisher. The wine shipping law makes
these wonderful wines more readily avail-
able to those already familiar with their
high quality and taste, as well as those
wanting to experience great New Jersey
products across the country.
New Jersey has 45 licensed wineries
and many have begun shipping within New
Jersey and into other states. Sixteen winer-
ies currently sell their wine through their
websites. Another nine allow customers to
view their wines online, but orders are
taken over the phone or through e-mail.
Many others are gearing up for direct ship-
ping in the New Year.
A list of New Jersey wineries and their
websites is located at
www.jerseyfresh.nj.gov/wine.htm.

(NJ-02) recently announced that the
Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Company will
receive $108,063 in federal funding from
the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG)
Program. This is the departments fourth
AFG award, receiving previous funding of
$79,917 (2005), $38,000 (2005) and
$21,375 (2010).
This is an early holiday gift for the
men and women of the Forest Grove
Volunteer Fire Company in Vineland
whose firefighters tirelessly work to keep
the community safe day in and day out,
said LoBiondo, a member of the
Congressional Fire Caucus.
In total, 119 organizations in the 2nd
Congressional district have been awarded
more than $24 million since the program
began in 2001.
The Assistance to Firefighters Grant
Program awards grants directly to fire
departments and emergency services to
support their efforts to protect the com-
munities they serve. The Fiscal Year 2012
program will award approximately $337.5
million in competitive grants to first
responder organizations across the coun-
try to obtain critically needed equipment,
protective gear, emergency vehicles, train-
ing, and other resources required to pro-
tect the public and emergency personnel
from fire and related hazards.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) under the Department of
Homeland Security administers the pro-
gram. For the last nine years,
Congressman LoBiondos office has host-
ed local seminars for area fire depart-
ments to highlight the benefits of this
grant program and assist with the applica-
tion process. The Fiscal Year 2012 pro-
gram received 12,000 applications nation-
wide. More information can be found at

Rafferty Named National
APWA Public Works
Leadership Fellow
Cumberland County Director of Public
Works, William Rafferty, was recently des-
ignated a national Public Works
Leadership Fellow (PWLF) by the
American Public Works Association
(APWA). As a PWLF fellow, Rafferty will
mentor public works professionals
enrolled in the APWA Donald C. Stone
Center for Leadership Excellence (DCS
Center) throughout the year. He is among
220 public works professionals from
across North America who were recently
inducted as Leadership Fellows (PWLF).
The APWA Donald C. Stone Centers
Program Council determines the selection
of recipients for the PWLF designation.
Since 1976, Raffertys professional career
has concentrated in engineering and public
works in the public and private sectors. In
May, 2012, Rafferty came out of retirement
to assume the role of Director of Public
Works and County Engineer for
Cumberland County, New Jersey. In this
role, he is responsible for road and bridge
maintenance, snow removal, mosquito con-
trol, signs and signals, and fleet manage-
ment. He also prepares plans and specifica-
tions for road, drainage, traffic signal and
bridge improvements, and serves as
Engineer for the County Planning Board.
Prior to this position, Rafferty held several
engineering positions throughout New
Jersey, including City Engineer in Atlantic
City from 2005-2008, and County Engineer
for Atlantic County from 1980-1984, as well
as Director of Public Works for Atlantic
County from 1980-1984, and Municipal
Engineer for several New Jersey based
engineering firms since 1984. I

Chocolate on the
Occasional Wine Bottle
For the wine and chocolate lovers on your
list, you cant go wrong with this unique
gift idea from Barberas Chocolate on
Occasion (782 S. Brewster Road,
Vineland). Your lucky recipient will need to
peel off the tasty packaging to find out
what wine awaits. You must purchase the
wine elsewhere and Amy Barbera, choco-
latier and owner, suggests bringing it to
Barberas unchilled. They require 24 hours
from the time you drop it off the wine
until pickup. They put a plastic coating on
the bottle, then dip it in chocolate, so
when the tab is pulled, the chocolate falls
off and the wine and chocolate can be
enjoyed together. Choose milk chocolate
or dark; peppermint, nuts, M&Ms, or
whatever topping you want for rolling. Cost is $18 for a standard size wine bottle,
but you might think outside the box (er, bottle) and choose other types of liquor
bottles. This makes a great gift to present to party hosts, too! While youre there at
Barberas, browse through their selection of handmade chocolates for others on
your list, including festive candies for the holiday season.

Fresh Look for Maplewood Just in Time for the Holidays
In order to survive in the restaurant business, owners and
management must continuously adapt to the times. At the
family-owned and operated Maplewood III on North Delsea
Drive in Vineland, the Espositos (father Howard and son
Ken) know how to strike a balance between making
changes to stay fresh, and maintaining the traditions that
have made the restaurant a Vineland institution since 1983.
Ken now runs the day to day operations at the
Maplewood III and is excited to introduce some recent
upgrades to their regular customers and new ones alike.
The new renovations include the floor-to-ceiling recon-
struction of restrooms using tile, granite and new fixtures
giving a fresh, welcoming appearance. The front dining
room has a completely new look with lighter colors, a
totally new backlit bar and dining room with all new LED
lighting. The new main entrance has been updated with
beautiful new doors, lighting and accessories. Esposito
hopes to continue renovations after the winter months to
include the main dining room and bar areas as well as
some exterior upgrades.

umerous readers have emailed
and asked me a personal ques-
tion: What would YOU like to
see happen with the fiscal cliff?
We thank you for the question.
Please remember, this missive will not be
about what is going to happen. We do not
know that outcome and neither does anyone
else. We hold an opinion that there is a deal
coming. We think it will be at the 11th hour
or even early next year after we tumble over
the January 1 cliff. But that is just an
informed guess. President Obama didnt add
much clarity to that view in his Bloomberg
interview today. Readers may see it and hear
it on Bloomberg.com.
Instead, todays letter is about what we
would like to see happen, and why. My view is
simple: until we experience the cliff, we will
not understand what it really means. Hence,
we will not act wisely if we do it prospectively.
We believe the markets and citizenry are
too complacent about our government. US
investors are used to watching the
Washington charade. Voters, in nearly every
congressional jurisdiction, are trapped by
limited choices, which is why we re-elect
most incumbents. Our politics are the poli-
tics of default choices.
Our markets are driven by forces such as
low interest rates and global demand and
geopolitical risk. We go on about our daily
business in spite of our broken government.
We engage in a collective trillion economic
decisions each and every day, without gov-
ernment help. Leave us alone and we can
pretty much figure out what to do.
We have a broken political system, in
which our leaders are about as popular as the
proverbial used-car salesperson (according to
recent polls). Most of us feel that way about
them but cannot do anything about it, so we
go on with our lives and let the self-serving
leaders in Washington decide our fate.
One defining characteristic of Americans is
to rally in time of crisis. We do that in wartime.
We do that with natural disasters like Katrina
and Sandy. We do that with regard to health
matters. We are generous with our charity.
Mainstream Americans are mostly good folks.
But we are reactive, not proactive.
So, lets see if we can rally to deal with
this government crisis. But we wont do it
unless and until we know we have a real cri-
sis on our hands. So, lets have at it. To get
there, we need to go over the cliff and stay
there long enough to actually begin to expe-
rience what it feels like, and what it means,
to be off the precipice.
Lets see what happens when all the
income tax credits expire on lower incomes
and when 140 million Americans get hit with
an average $1000 a year in a payroll tax hike.
Lets see what the experience is when seques-
tration kicks in hard. Lets watch the layoffs of
defense contractors who have to downsize
since they wont be paid by the federal gov-
ernment. Lets tax capital and dividends and
income at high rates and let our citizens begin
to feel the impact in their pocketbooks. Lets
tax estates at confiscatory rates. Lets allow
tax-free bonds to be penalized when our
schools and sewer systems need financing.
Lets subject 24 million folks to the alternative
minimum tax. And on, and on, and on.
The political morons generalize in their
pronouncements because they fear giving us
real details. Our president repeatedly attacks
the rich with class-warfare rhetoric. He says
upper 2% of income but he doesnt say that
many are independent businesses. Does he
ever mention an S-Corp small business that is
trying to accumulate capital to grow a busi-
ness and hire folks? Many small businesses
finds themselves burdened with a marginal
effective tax rate above 50% under the pres-
ent tax system before we even go over the
cliff? That is where a small business can find
itself when all taxes imposed are combined.
Obama avoided this detail today. He cited
CEOs of big companies. He ignored the half
of the country that is small and independent
firms even while claiming that 97% of them
will benefit.
Obama uses the new-age definition of mil-
lionaire: a couple filing a joint income tax
return with a $250,000 annual income. He
never mentioned that his failure to compro-
mise means the lower-income tax groups will
incur a very high tax hike once were off the
cliff. He never admits that some of the lower
middle-class tax rates he claims are obtained
are in place by using the deception of credits.
The Republicans are not any better.
Republicans never say, We defend the 15%
carried interest provision. They never
explain the details by which many wealthy
Americans benefit from provisions in the tax
code that are engineered to benefit the few
at the expense of the many. They just say no
changes in tax rates. And now they are clam-
oring for revenue, which means changing
the tax code, not the rates.
Readers, please note, it is the effective tax
rate that really counts. Let me repeat and
add clarity. It is ONLY the effective tax rate
that counts.
Both Republicans and Democrats are
disingenuous. That is a nice term for lying to
us and deceiving us and using fuzzy language
to mask the truth.
So, my personal proposal is to have a
major fight and a resulting stalemate that
persists until there is real pain in the land. I
would like to see my fellow citizens get real-
ly angry with Washington and set aside their
partisan differences and then throw out
some of the bums of both parties.
I would like to see us get mad enough and
scared enough and clear enough about
whats really happening to us, that we realize
we have to pull together to claw our way
back from the cliff and get this country on
stable ground.
Let me invoke a scene from a movie that
will date me. What I want you to do is throw
open the window, stick out your head, and yell
Im mad as hell and Im not going to take this
anymore. If you are too young to remember
the movie, Google the phrase and watch the
scene (YouTube will take you there).
That is what I would like to see happen,
dear readers. We need to open our windows
and yell. Get 314 million of us angry enough
at our government, and we will stop this
nonsense. Unless we get that angry, this bro-
ken-down system of ours is going to go click-
ety-clack right off the cliff.
Happy holidays to all cliff dwellers (us).
Get angry. Tell your congress people that
youre angry. Whether youre Democrat or
Republican, be angry, be clear-headed, and
demand the truth. Its our country!
Thank you for asking. I

Holiday Pet Safety Tips
You can help keep pets safe during the
holiday season by following the tips:
Many holiday plants can lead to health
problems in dogs and cats. Among the
plants to keep out of reach are holly,
mistletoe, poinsettias and lilies.
Snow globes often contain antifreeze,
which is poisonous to pets.
Pine needles, when ingested, can
puncture holes in a pets intestine. So keep
pet areas clear of pine needles.
The extra cords and plugs of holiday
lights and other fixtures can look like
chew toys to pets. Tape down or cover
cords to help avoid shocks, burns or other
serious injuries. Unplug lights when you
arent home.
Anchor Christmas trees to the ceiling
with a string to keep it from falling on pets.
Do not let pets drink the holiday tree
water. Some may contain fertilizers, and
stagnant tree water can harbor bacteria.
Check labels for tree water preservatives
and artificial snow, and buy only those that
are nontoxic. Some folks use screens
around trees to block access to electrical
cords and gifts.
Pets, particularly cats, can be tempted
to eat tinsel, which can block the intestines.
Hang tinsel high and securely to keep it out
of reach of pets.
Keep other ornaments out of reach of
pets. Ingestion of any ornament, which
might look like toys to pets, can result in
life-threatening emergencies. Even orna-
ments made from dried food can lead to
ailments. And remember, shards from bro-
ken glass ornaments can injure paws,
mouths and other parts of the body.
Put away toys after children open their
gifts. Small plastic pieces and rubber balls
are common causes of choking and intestin-
al blockage in dogs. Ingested plastic or cloth
toys must often be removed surgically.
Avoid toxic decorations. Bubbling
lights contain fluid that can be inhaled or
ingested, snow sprays and snow flock can
cause reactions when inhaled, styrofoam
poses a choking hazard, tinsel can cause
choking and intestinal obstruction, and
water in snow scenes may contain toxic
organisms such as Salmonella.
Keep candles on high shelves. Use
fireplace screens to avoid burns.
Holiday guests and other activity can
be very stressful and even frightening to
pets. It can also trigger illness and intestinal
upset. Make sure pets have a safe place to
retreat in your house. And make sure they
are wearing current I.D. in case they escape
out a door when guests come and go.
Reduce stress by keeping feeding and
exercise on a regular schedule.
Always make time to care for your
pets. Some folks get lax about walking their
dogs, and a few resort to letting pets out on
their own. This puts the animal in danger,
while also leading to nuisance complaints
and dog bite incidents. Remind pet owners
not to take a holiday from responsibly car-
ing for their pets. I

Seals USA Swimmers Open Winter Season
The YMCA of Vineland Seals
swim team participated in the
JW Thanksgiving Celebration
just as the winter swimming
season opened up. The event,
hosted by the Jersey Wahoos,
was held at GCIT November 17
and 18 and allowed swimmers
to demonstrate their personal
development gained from
Seals training in the offseason.
Coach Grabowy was excited to see that all swimmers in attendance at the
Thanksgiving Celebration event had set new personal best times, many in
more than one event and ranging from -0.35 second cut to an amazing -14.95
in improved times. In particular, Jack Choko took first place in boys 13-14 divi-
sion for the 50-yard Freestyle and second place in the 100-yard Backstroke
and Darcy Tarquinio placed third in the girls 13/14 division for the 100-yard
Backstroke. Improved times were also demonstrated by Julian Allen, Kayla
Prato, Kelsey DeMatte, Anthony Santoro, Alexandria Freeman, Nicole Gaetano,
Amanda Hullihen and Nicole Wolkowicz. All swimmers in attendance gained
valuable race experience and set a positive pace for a successful season for
swimmer development, team participation and sportsmanship.

South Jersey Ballet Theatre: The Nutcracker
South Jersey Ballet Theatres annual holiday production will take place on
December 14, 15 and 16, at the The Voorhees Middle School. But the stu-
dios young dancers, ranging in age from 5 to 18, have been hard at work
rehearsing for this annual, holiday performance. Andrea Duffin, South Jersey
Ballet Theatres artistic director, and her team of highly dedicated and talent-
ed staff begin rehearsals the first week of September. Ballet headmistress,
Jennifer Mooney, sums up the feeling that permeates the studio at this time
of year and the anticipation.
Sixteen-year-old Victoria Cleveland of Vineland will perform in several
lead roles, including as the lead Arabian and as the lead in the Candy Cane
dance. She is a junior and currently attends Gloucester County Institute of
Technology.
Danielle Cesanek, also 16, of Shamong has been cast in the lead role of
the Sugar Plum Fairy and Aela OBrien, 5, of Cherry Hill, is one of South
Jersey Ballet Theatres youngest performers. This little mouse has been
dancing with the studio for just a few short months and eagerly looking for-
ward to performing in her very first
Nutcracker show.
South Jersey Ballet Theatres 21st,
annual production of The Nutcracker
is sure to please crowds. How could it
not? Throw in sugar and spice and a
few little mice and this magical holi-
day classic comes to life! December
14 (7:30 p.m.); December 15 (1:30
and 4:30 p.m.); and December 16
(2:30 p.m.) at Voorhees Middle
School, 1000 Holly Oak Drive in
Voorhees, N.J.

Parent Appreciation Night At D'Ippolito
DIppolito
Elementary School
recently hosted a
Western Hoedown
in honor of National
Parent Appreciation
Day. This special
school event was
held to celebrate the
valued relationships
established with par-
ents and community.
Cowgirls and cow-
boys, accompanied
by their parents,
entered through a
country-themed
lobby and were
greeted by staff members dressed in western attire. Over 500 guests enjoyed a
country vittles western barbeque dinner provided by an NJ PRIDE grant from
the New Jersey Education Association. After dinner, families attended a variety of
sessions including: Square Dancing with two local groups The Busy Bees and
the Rainbow Squares along with accredited dance caller Nick Martellacci. The
families also participated in a campfire sing-a-long on the front lawn with the
Singing Cowboy, Jeff Munsick. Each child received a Cowboy Songbook.
Hoedown guests enjoyed other activities lead by the teaching staff such as pan-
ning for gold, decorating cowboy hats, making trail mix and playing other cow-
boy games. Each family posed for a keepsake family photo.
The Western Hoedown is one of many monthly activities held to demonstrate
DIppolito staffs commitment for creating and sustaining parent and community
partnerships through the National Network of Partnership Schools through Johns
Hopkins University.
Ed Zorn with daughter Julianna Zorn and Abigail Mercogoliano sing along by the
campfire with Mr. Jeff Munsick, the singing cowboy. {

Delsea Accelerated Reader Field Trip
Delsea Regional
High School students
participated in a field
trip recently to
Barnes and Noble
Bookstore as part of
a reading incentive
program, Accelerated
Reader. Students
earned this trip by
meeting reading
goals during the
2011-12 school year.
The Accelerated
Reader program is
designed for each student to set personalized reading goals with the ultimate
goal being that students learn that reading can be fun, informative, and enter-
taining, and that reading should take place every day. Students select a book of
his or her choice and they write a brief summary of their book when they finish
reading it. They then take the computerized test. By passing the computerized
test and meeting their goal, they are treated to a reward ceremony at the end of
each marking period. Those students that were able to meet their personalized
reading goal all four marking periods during the 2011-12 school year were invited
to attend the AR field trip to Barnes and Noble where they were given a $20 gift
card which they used to purchase reading materials. Students were also treated
to lunch at the Old Country Buffet.

Edgarton Christian Academy Honor Roll
Main Road School (Franklin Twp.) Honor Roll,
Petway Attracts Crowd
to First Parent University
Petway Elementary School held its
First Annual Parent University on
November 1, attracting an audience of
approximately 100, according to Mrs.
Jennifer Frederico, school principal.
Parents were invited to the school to
attend a series of informative work-
shop sessions. The goal was to offer an
event that would provide parents with
information to help their children suc-
ceed in school and to understand the
resources within the community at
large.
All parents attending received a
folder containing a program, their
Passport, a pad, pen, and literature
explaining the New Jersey Education
Association (NJEA) / Vineland
Education Association (VEA) Pride
Grant. Participants received a tote bag,
provided by the VEA, to hold all the
free gifts and literature they collected
throughout the evening.
Parents and their Petway students
were treated to a delicious dinner from
Tony's Lunch. Petway's administrators,
Mrs. Frederico and Mrs. Karen
Malatesta, assistant principal, wel-
comed and expressed the importance
of parental involvement. Mrs. Daina
Karol was also thanked for writing and
receiving the PRIDE Grant from the
VEA and NJEA.
After dinner, 15 different workshops
were available. Topics included: Job
Search Tools, Everyday Math, Banking
for Your Everyday Needs, Healthy
Programs Offered at the YMCA,
Building Literacy Confidence,
Purchasing a Home in Today's Market,
What to Expect on the NJASK, Using
KidBiz3000 at Home, and a variety of
other topics. A Careers Clothes Closet
of gently worn professional clothing
was available for parents to "shop" for
use during a job interview or at their
current job. At the conclusion of each
workshop session, parents were given
a free gift. Child care during the work-
shops was provided by the
Cumberland County 4-H and Petway's
teachers and staff.
When each workshop session
ended, parents had their PASSPORTS
stamped. At the conclusion of the
evening, parents who had attended
four workshops entered their Passports
into a drawing for prizes. Petway's
Parent & Staff Association generously
donated the Grand Prize, a 32" Flat
Screen TV, which was won by the
Maldonado Family. Other prizes includ-
ed a Blu-ray DVD player, a two-night
stay at the Hampton Inn, mouse pads,
book covers, and water bottles.
Dr. Joseph Rossi, the Director of
Personnel for the Vineland Public
Schools, offered 2 workshop sessions
on Job Search Tools. Supervisors of
Language Arts and Mathematics, Mrs.
Andrea Evans and Mr. Jeff Dubois,
offered two workshop sessions on
understanding the NJASK. Petway
teachers presenting workshops were:
Karly Daplyn, Jodi Fiore, Terry Bordo,
Kathren Barraclough, and Danielle
Tramontana. Many other Petway teach-
ers and staff members stayed to help,
including: Mary Shropshire, Mariita
Diaz, Cindy Domico, Jill Newcomb,
Leslie Smith, Fay Romanik, Stephanie
Burns, Tracy Alexander, Lisa
Mastrogiovanni, Stephanie Mastro,
Kristi Holt, Jen Pilla, Patricia Ocasio,
Kelly Brooks, Debbie Eisinger, Kristie
Mercado, Vicki Kaffenberger, Courtney
Flaim, Joanne Napoli, Lisa Shadinger,
Brian Anthony, Marla Gruber, and
Roberta Porcelli.
Also attending this event were Dr.
Mary Gruccio, Superintendent for the
Vineland Public Schools, Mr. Nathan
Frey, Assistant Superintendent for
Curriculum and Instruction, and
Vineland Board of Education Members
Mr. Carlos Mercado and Mr. Scott
English.
Petway's Parent University was
made possible through the support of
the Vineland Public Schools, the
Vineland Education Association
(VEA), and a generous FAST (Families
and Schools Together) Pride Grant pro-
vided by the New Jersey Education
Association (NJEA).

MAYORAL CANDIDATES
Ruben Bermudez:
I have maintained a successful business
on Landis Avenue for over 32 years, Juvante
Formal Wear, which my daughter Deidre
now runs day-to-day. As a result, I am able to
commit to being your full-time mayor.
My public service includes two terms
(eight years) on the Vineland City Council,
serving as president from 2000 to 2004. Also,
I previously served as president of the
Downtown Merchants Association, and as a
member of the Chamber of Commerce Board
of Directors, the Vineland Planning Board,
the Downtown Improvement District, and
the Boy Scouts of America Executive Board.
I currently serve as President of the Latin
American Business Alliance of New Jersey
and the Hand Foundation, which provides
non-profit organizations with financial assis-
tance. I am also a member of the Salvation
Army Board.
I enjoy volunteering my time to help the
community whenever possible and have also
been involved in missions and humanitarian
trips that have taken me to countries in
Central and South America.
Robert Romano:
I was born and raised in Vineland by a
family that believed serving the community
was a civic duty. My father served as a city
councilman for 12 years and as mayor for
eight years. I served as a police officer for the
City of Vineland for 34 years, starting in the
Safe Streets Unit. Following that, I served in
the Mobile Patrol and then K-9 Patrol. I was
later promoted to Sergeant and assigned to
the Street Crimes Unit, then promoted to
Lieutenant assigned to Internal Affairs. I
served in that position until I was elected as
the Mayor of the City of Vineland, at which
time I retired to be a full-time Mayor.
I have been married to my wife Ann for
36 years and have two children. I believe my
34 years on the police force has given me
insights to the city from the street side and
by serving as Mayor for the past four years
the experience from an administrative side. I
believe the progress that we have made over
the past four years shows the city is moving
in the right direction.
COUNCIL CANDIDATES:
Mayra Arroyo, Proven Progress (Romano):
Councilwoman Mayra Arroyo is currently
serving her first term. Prior to being elected
to serve on the Vineland City Council in May
2008, she served on the Vineland Board of

ated from Rowan University.

business. Angelas roots here in Vineland are
long and have always been the basis of her
devotion to the city. She also feels the impor-
tance of giving back to a community that has
always served her so well. All of these great
experiences have given Calakos the drive and
depth to serve the City of Vineland and its

Marita Gonzalez, Moving
I was born and raised in Vineland. My
education comes froma NewJersey college. I
was brought up in a retail business my father
owned and operated for most of my lifetime.
My fathers business, Rodriguez Bros., is
well known in our community. He dedicated
his life to help whoever he could. Whether it
was extending credit for merchandise pur-
chased in the store, providing a ride to the
airport, borrowing money or extending an
invitation to dinner. This is how we were
brought up. This philosophy is my way of
living and my own familys way of living.
My work experiences are vast, including
accounting, working as a switchboard oper-
ator, and now as a teacher in Vineland. I
have been dedicated to my craft for 14 years
now. I understand what it means to change
careers to fit the economy of where I have
chosen to live and raise my family.
I decided to make myself a candidate for
the Vineland City Council because I want to
give something back to this wonderful city. I
will bring a different perspective, and I
hope my participation in governing
Vineland will help move our city forward.
Because I have history and accomplish-
ments in Vineland, I know I can make a pos-
itive difference.

Vineland. I have served on numerous boards
and committees in Vineland as well as the

Empowerment Zone, former Chairwoman
of the Board of Trustees for Cumbertland
County College and Committee member of

H
oliday lighting displays are a
beloved holiday tradition. Many
families enjoy illuminating their
homes with decorative lights, and some
communities even reward the household
that goes above and beyond with their
holiday lighting display.
But as enjoyable and eye-catching as
such displays can be, they also can be
equally as dangerous. Hanging lights car-
ries a certain degree of risk, and its best
for homeowners to be as cautious as pos-
sible when erecting their holiday lighting
displays.
* Start with the lights. Inspecting the
lights is an important part of creating a
safe holiday lighting display, and this
inspection should occur before you begin
decorating. Examine each string of lights
for damaged wires, including any loose
connections or broken sockets. Discard
any damaged sets before decorating. If
your inspection turns up any burned out
bulbs, always replace the older bulbs with
new bulbs of the same wattage. In the
past, a good rule of thumb was to limit
each extension cord to no more than three
sets of lights. However, if using LED
bulbs, which consume as much as 90 per-
cent less energy than traditional incandes-
cent bulbs, you can have more sets con-
nected to a single extension cord.
After inspecting the lights, inspect the
other tools you will be using. Make sure
the ladder is sturdy and that your staple
gun and other tools are ready to be used.
If any tools fail your inspection, delay the
decorating until you can find adequate
replacements.
* Only decorate in the daytime.
Sunlight can be sparse during the holiday
season, when the sun goes down before
many working men and women leave their
offices much less arrive home. But deco-
rating at night is asking for trouble, so
make time to decorate during the daytime.
Decorating during the day makes it easier
to see potentially problematic power lines,
and the weather likely wont be as harsh
during the daytime as it will be at night,
reducing your risk for injury.
* Never decorate alone. When decorat-
ing, always have someone nearby in case
of emergency. Falling from a ladder can
cause serious harm, but having someone
there to hold the ladder can reduce your
risk of falling. In addition, a decorating
partner can contact emergency personnel
should you suffer an injury and become
unable to reach the telephone.
* Trim trees before decorating. Winter
might not be the ideal time to trim trees,
but streaming lights on overgrown trees
could pose a significant safety risk. A tree
that hasnt been trimmed might have
grown close to power lines. When that
tree is covered in holiday lights, contact
with the power line could electrify the
tree, potentially causing property damage
or personal injury to anyone within close
proximity to the affected tree. If youre
worried about trimming a tree outside of
its recommended trimming season, do not
decorate that tree with any lights.
* Strategically place lights. Lights
should never conceal a window, and the
cords should never be run across walk-
ways or steps. Lights that are strewn
across a window pose a safety hazard
should a fire occur at the home and win-
dow escape is needed. Cords that have
been run across walkways and steps pose a
tripping hazard, especially if a light snow-
fall makes it difficult for family members
or guests to see the cords on the ground.
* Make sure the lights are not on when
no one is home. Lights should never be on
when no one is home. This poses a signifi-
cant safety risk, and no homeowner wants
to arrive home to see their house has
burned down or suffered damage from a
fire. In addition, turn the lights off before
you go to sleep at night. This makes the
home safer at night and will save you a
substantial amount of money. I
