President Harry Behrens says it started with a trip to
Mississippi. When Hurricane Katrina happened, I had only
been a believer for two to three years. Just like the rest of the
country, I was so moved by the devastation. Our church [Living

Laue a Role Model
College basketball player, Kevin Laue,
made a special visit to the Boys & Girls
Club of Vineland to spend a fun-filled
and thought-provoking session with
youth members. Laue is the first one-
armed player in the history of college
basketball and he spoke to Boys &
Girls Club members about the dangers
of bullying and overcoming obstacles in order to make your dreams come true. He was one
of several guest speakers throughout the summer and early fall that engaged youth in
thoughtful discussions about their futures and how they can become good citizens and form
favorable characters. The program was supported through the Cumberland County/JJC
Community Partnership grant, which help youth develop life skills and positive behaviors.

significant enough on its own, other major
construction projects taking place on the
campus in the western part of Vineland
combine with it to make College Avenue the
most dynamic mile in southern NewJersey.
Referring to the sound of bulldozers in
the distance, Isekenegbe noted the recent
groundbreaking for the construction of a
full-time, technical high school on one
end of the campus and for the Center for
Workforce & Economic Development on
the other side.
With all the construction were talking
about, it might appear that were celebrat-
ing bricks and mortar, but really this proj-
ect is about student learning and success,
Isekenegbe said.
The Phase One project gives CCC near-
ly 4,000 square feet of additional learning
space in the academic building, including
three new classrooms, and three quiet
group study rooms dubbed collaboratori-
ums. Also part of the project is a renova-
tion of the Administrative Building and an
overhaul of the technological infrastruc-
ture in the form of a renovated Network
Operations Center.
COLLEGE
(Continued from cover)
From Top to Bottom: The Clock Tower; the computer lab in the Academic Building, the recep-
tion area of the newly renovated Administrative Building; one of the new Collaboratoriums
small, quiet, ergonomic spaces where students can work and study individually or in groups.

CCCs One Book-One College
Selection Named
Cumberland
County Colleges One
Book-One College
2014-15 reading cam-
paign was launched
recently with the
selection of Until
Tuesday: A Wounded
Warrior and the
Golden Retriever Who Saved Him by Luis
Carlos Montalvan, with Bret Witter.
Until Tuesday is a heartwarming story
of how Tuesday, a lovable golden retriever,
changes a former soldiers life forever.
A highly decorated captain in the U.S.
Army, Luis Montalvan never backed down
from a challenge during his two tours of
duty in Iraq. After returning home from
combat, however, his physical wounds and
crippling post-traumatic stress disorder
began to take their toll. He wondered if he
would ever recover.
Then Luis met Tuesday, a sensitive
golden retriever trained to assist the dis-
abled. Tuesday had lived among prisoners
and at a home for troubled boys, and he
found it difficult to trust in or connect
with a human being until Luis.
Until Tuesday is the story of how two
wounded warriors, who had given so
much and suffered the consequences,
found salvation in each other. It is a story
about war and peace, injury and recovery,
psychological wounds and spiritual
restoration. But more than that, it is a
story about the love between a man and
dog, and how they healed each others
souls.
CCCs One Book-One College program
is highlighted each year with an on-cam-
pus visit by the author. Montalvan and
Tuesday will visit Cumberland County
Colleges campus in the coming weeks.

Book-One College reading program at

Options for Back and Neck Pain
During National Chiropractic Health
Month (NCHM) this fall, Dr. Tammy L.
Ledden of Vineland and doctors of chiro-
practic (DCs) nationwide will educate
patients about the value of a conservative
care first approach to health care, which
encourages exhausting non-invasive, non-
pharmaceutical treatments for pain man-
agement and health enhancement before
moving on to other options.
During National Chiropractic Health
Month were reminding patients to ask
about conservative treatment options
when weighing their health care choices,
says Dr. Tammy L. Ledden Chiropractic
treatment is a much more safe and cost-
effective option for back and neck pain
that may reduce the need for unnecessary
drugs and surgery.

talk to the locals and experience the stories. He
was shocked that the locals were not concerned
about those who had died or were injured or
had permanently moved away.
It was the loss of material things, he says.
It struck him how tied up people were with
their stuff. I broke down in the airport on the
way home. For me, I went down to get a sense of
what God was doing in my own life. It was like
God was saying to me, Youre just like them,
youre very attached to material things.
Prior to the trip, Harry, a Comcast employee,
and his wife, Valerie, were planning to buy a big-
ger house. Instead, with a new goal of becoming
debt-free, they sold their house and now rent a
much smaller home.
God has made it sufficient for us. I didnt
want to be attached to things. It took a process of
a year or so to sell the house. The bigger struggle
is when you get out of debt, you are so used to
working to pay the bills. What do you do now?
While playing his guitar at home, Harry
watched an older lady, about 70 years old,
walking down the street, carrying groceries.
This isnt a place where you walk down the
street. It is miles to anything. I felt the Holy
Spirit nudging me, offer her a ride. He finally
put his guitar down and offered her a ride.
When she got in, he told her how surprised he
was that she said yes. The lady said she had
been praying someone would give her a ride
because she didnt think she could make it all
the way home.
That early connection grew to a friendship.
We found out she was on food stamps. I
thought I could grow a little garden, help her
and maybe have some for us. I mentioned it at
church, then was referred to someone who
could give us some plants. I thought we would
start with lettuce. The man brought over 800
lettuce plants.
I told himif he brought it, I would put it in
the ground. Behrens says that garden in its first
year had 800 heads of lettuce, 400 tomato plants,
and 800 pepper plants and a bunch of corn.
It was really chaotic. I didnt knowwhat I
was doing. I was in the field one day and said,
God, I amnot a farmer. If these plants die, its
your fault.
But they didnt die. People started volunteer-
ing. All I was doing was sharing my story. I have
all this extra produce, do you knowanyone who
could use it? So we give away produce through
the volunteers. Everybody knows somebody.
The one thing Behrens wants is to help
families consistently. Give to that family all sea-
son long as it makes an impact. Each volunteer
helps four families, so they can really make a
personal connection and not burn out.
This year they gave to 120 families. Valerie
has taken over the packing process and made it
so efficient that they can pick, pack and deliver
all in one night. During harvest season, they also
serve some food banks and homeless shelters.
IMPACT
(Continued from cover)
Behrens says they have around 100 volun-
teers and run on a $10,000 a year budget. They
already have 80 percent of next years budget.
They dont do fundraisers anymore, as he finds
that it gets in the way of God getting the glory.
When you dont ask, he gets the glory. He
always provides more than we need.
Behrens is grooming volunteers. I want this
organization to become self-sustaining and to
raise up new leaders. I would like to do this in
other communities. If you have another field in
a different community, you can grow different
crops, share the difference. Some crops are easi-
er to grow in different places, also you can give
fields breaks, rotate the fields. He and Valerie
explain about different pests, sacrificial crops,
organic fertilizer, and drip irrigation. The next
project is a bigger greenhouse.
They sure sound like farmers, but it is the
people that motivate them. We meet great peo-
ple out here, says Valerie, referring to both the
volunteers and the recipients.
Volunteer Matt Gettings, 25, of Egg Harbor
City read about Impact Harvest in a newspaper
three years ago. It was something God put on
my heart to at least check it out. And here I am,
he says. I come out twice a week, sometimes
three times a week for a couple of hours. We
never get overworked. Depending on the sea-
son, he is either prepping, harvesting, or like
tonight, just cleaning up.
Its real simple. Its something everyone can
relate to. We all need to eat. Connecting with
people, thats the important part. Some of that
is on the farm and some of that is showing
Christs love through delivering produce. I

Vintage Vineland { BY VINCE FARINACCIO }
The Western
O
nce upon a time, Westerns
ruled the screen, both small
and large. It was a popular
genre that stretched back to
the silent era of cinema and then easily
adapted to the early decades of television.
In those days, there were three networks,
each carrying its own brand and style of
the Old West. But today, cable channels
such as ME-TV, COZI, THIS and Antenna
TV offer much of the Western fare that
has since disappeared from the networks.
Over the past few decades, the theatri-
cal Western has fallen out of favor with
the American public. There may be an
occasional attempt at a remake, like the
unnecessary 3:10 to Yuma, or a faithful
return to the genres aesthetic, like Kevin
Costners Open Range, but for the most
part this genre has been carefully tucked
away, and thats a shame.
The Western is our American mytholo-
gy, its heroes made up of frontier lawmen
and, on many occasions, their antithesis,
outlaws who represent the rebel nature
that created this country. For every Wyatt
Earp, there is a Billy the Kid, and for every
entrepreneur ready to control the land,
there is the settler forced to take up arms
to protect the small claim on which hes
wagered the rest of his life.
The Western became a metaphor for
the 20th century and a study of how the
American Dream and the American psyche
operated.
By the time the genre reached televi-
sion in the 1950s, it was beginning to
wane, but that didnt mean new and inter-
esting characters couldnt be developed.
Richard Boones Paladin in Have Gun Will
Travel, Steve McQueens bounty hunter
Josh Randall in Wanted Dead or Alive and
Clint Eastwoods earliest cowboy role as
Rowdy Yates in Rawhide were just some of
the new faces on the small-screen. Many
TV Westerns had their protagonists on the
move, crossing the frontier in episodic
adventures, sometimes traveling in
groups, as on Wagon Train, but mostly
journeying alone.
Shows like Bonanza took a different
approach, rooting its characters in a ranch
setting that reflects the family life of the
show. The later Big Valley used a similar
approach, albeit with a matriarch (Barbara
Stanwyck, star of Anthony Manns Greek-
tragedy-as-Western film The Furies)
instead of a father like Lorne Greenes Ben
Cartwright.
Another series, The Rifleman, set down
roots in the fictional town of North Fork
in the New Mexico Territory. But unlike
most TV Westerns, The Rifleman depicted
the harsher side of the Old West.
Protagonist Lucas McCain, a widower and
the marksman of the title, raises his son
amid the violence of the Old West. The
series was developed by Sam Peckinpah,
who scripted several shows, including the
pilot, and directed an early episode in
which the coldblooded killing of a mar-
shal is much more attuned to todays tele-
vision violence than that of the 1950s. But
Peckinpahs dark outlook was in conflict
with the shows producers. He departed
and developed one of the most unique
series in this genre, The Westerner, sadly
not in syndication or available on home
video, before becoming a renowned film
director.
Maverick, starring James Garner and
Jack Kelly as brothers Bret and Bart
whose card playing accompanies their
travels, was another unique example of
the TV Western. The Maverick brothers
are not the typical Old West hero. They do
not favor guns and attempt to talk them-
selves out of trouble, sometimes success-
fully. James Garners charismatic portray-
al of Bret is the appeal of this comedy-
drama that introduced Brother Bart when
it was discovered the shooting schedule
for the show required a second lead
whose episodes could be shot in tandem.
Roy Huggins served as the key
writer/story contributor during Garners
two seasons on the show, and his incorpo-
ration of historical facts and figures as
well as his knowledge of Hoyles Book of
Games, an 1876 rulebook for card playing,
make for some informative episodes.
TV Westerns of the 1950s and 1960s
were filled with guest appearances of indi-
viduals who later went on to recognition
and acclaim. In what might be the oddest
guest roles, Lowell George and Richie
Hayward appear as members of an
anachronistic rock band in the Old West
on F Troop. A few years later, they would
both be part of the band Little Feat. I

About the candidate:
I have been married to Larry Bertacchi
for 42 years. We have three children and
one grandson.
I am a former business owner, dedicated
community leader with 31 years involve-
ment in civic/charitable and school-based
activities; donor to community projects;
proven ability to motivate people and
accomplish goals.
I attended Glassboro State College and
Cumberland County College.
I worked for a member firm of the New
York Stock Exchange for 10 years and
owned and operated On Pointe Ballet
Boutique also for 10 years. Through the
years, I have held many positions and have
worked at several businesses.
I currently serve on the Cumberland
County College Foundation Board, am
Chairperson of the Vineland Downtown
Improvement District, a Rotarian, Secretary
to the Landis Theater Board of Directors
and founder/president of the Cumberland
County Womens Hall of Fame.
I have served on the following Board of
Directors: 4-H Leaders Association; 2nd
District V.P. for the state of NJ under the
NJ State Federation of Womens Clubs; the
Rotary Club of Vineland, Citizens United,
Board member of Tiny Tim, Fist VP of
MADD; Board member of Wheaton Arts &
Cultural Center (formerly Wheaton Village;
Secretary to the Vineland Historical Board;
Chairman of the Vineland Downtown
Improvement District; Secretary to the
Landis Theater Board; secretary to United
Way Board, founder/president of the
Cumberland County Womens Hall of
Fame.
I have served on many, committees and
task forces on all of these Boards.
In your opinion, what are the three
biggest issues facing the county?
1. Economic Development: I realize that
it has been a struggle to get new businesses
to come to our county. We need to offer
them incentives such as short-term lower
rent and special marketing opportunities.
Retention is the next key. This can be sup-
ported through social media by mass adver-
tisement and consumer incentives.
2. Education: The addition of the new
Technical School is going to prove to be an
outstanding addition to our county. Giving
our students an affordable, accessible edu-
cational resource is paramount in boasting
the level of learning that is pertinent to
securing them as our future leaders. The
Cumberland County College is also a
tremendous asset to our county, a true
jewel in our own backyard. The college is
growing in the number of attendees and
expanding every year. The current tuition is
affordable for our depressed area.
3. Unemployment: We are in the lowest
economic county in the state with the high-
est taxes and unemployment. People are
out of jobs, have lost their homes, are
depressed and are struggling to survive.
Unemployment contributes to crime.
The raising of taxes and frivolous spend-
ing are two of the contributing factors as to
the increase of crime as well. People have
lost their pride for their cities/communi-
ties. We need to help the people that are
suffering by educating them, employing
them and letting them know that they are a
significant part of our society.
How do you plan to address the issues
listed above if elected?
My feeling is that once the people are
taken care of, taxes have become more
affordable and jobs are more accessible,
economic development will move in the
right direction..
Please provide a closing statement:
Cumberland County is a county that still
needs to grow.
I feel that we need to poll the people to
see what they need and what they are look-
ing for in their county, then research how
we can help them to insure that they will
have a better life.
The constant raising of taxes and frivo-
lous spending of money has got to stop.
Our team will work hard always with
the best interest of the people of the county.
Vote for Mike Barruzza for Sheriff,
Gloria Noto for County Clerk, Jim Sauro,
Carman Daddario and Louise Bertacchi for
Freeholder. We will work hard for you, lis-
ten to you and help the county to grow
stronger.
About the candidate:
I have resided in Shiloh Borough for 11
years and prior to that I resided in Stow
Creek Township for 12 years. I was born
and raised in Bridgeton, attending
Bridgeton Public Schools and Immaculate
Conception School in Bridgeton.
I was a printer by trade for 28 years in
my familys printing business, Eugene
Printing, that was started by my father and
later passed down to me and my brothers, in
which we formed a partnership until 2006
when we sold to another firm. I am present-
ly employed by the Freitag Funeral Home in
Bridgeton and am a NJ Real Estate Agent.
I reside with my wife of 28 years, Beth,
and have one son Carman III and daugh-
ter-in-law, Hope.
I am presently a Shiloh Borough
Councilman, a former Stow Creek Township
Board of Education member and have been
President, Treasurer and coach of Bridgeton
Youth Basketball and West Cumberland
League. I am the Treasurer of Miracle for
Mateo, a foundation in memory of my late
daughter Megan, which raises money for
families dealing with children with heart
disease or life-threatening illnesses.
In your opinion, what are the three
biggest issues facing the county?
There are several issues facing our
county. I feel high taxes, not enough busi-
ness and industry with sufficient paying
jobs, and crime that is increasing are three
of the biggest.
How do you plan to address the
issues listed above if elected?
We need to work together as
Freeholders and the various county organi-
zations and committees to bring business
and industry back into the county. I am a
fan of neighborhood watch programs and
town meetings to give officials, police, and
residents an opportunity to voice their con-
cerns and work together to make
Cumberland County more appealing to
business and industry owners. The more
business and industry we have, the tax bur-
den will ease and residents would have
more opportunities for jobs that would
help with the crime rate.
Please provide a closing statement:
I am very excited to become a
Cumberland County Freeholder. I will use
my experiences of owning a business, serv-
ing as a councilman and serving on a Board
of Education to help make good decisions
as a Freeholder. I was raised to work hard
and help others along the way and thats
what I will carry into being a Freeholder.

About the candidate:
I amproud to say that I was born and
raised in Vineland, where my parents who
were originally fromPuerto Rico worked as
factory workers. After graduating from
Vineland High School, I went on to study fire
science administration at Camden County
College. In 2003 I was privileged to be sworn
in as Vinelands 57th Career Firefighter, a
position I still work proudly today. As a fire-
fighter I have learned to serve as a mentor
and been there for our community in times of
need.
I ammarried with two sons that have
taught me that family is the most important
possession. I have always put family first,
which is why I play such a big role in commu-
nity service with organizations like Habitat
for Humanity to help improve Cumberland
Countys quality of life.
I amrunning for Freeholder because I love
Cumberland County and dedicating my time
to the community is just a way of life for me.
With experience on the finance committees
of the Vineland Board of Education and the
County Board of Social Services, I see it as my
duty to serve as the fiscal watchdog for the
hard-working taxpayers of the county.
In your opinion, what are the three
biggest issues facing the county?
The three biggest issues are crime, lack of
job opportunity, and our crumbling infra-
structureall issues Cumberland County is
facing. I fear for the families that dont feel
safe at night from the violence they hear
going on in the streets. The fact that
Cumberland County is not in the 21st century
is concerning to me and I would like to see
businesses come in to offer more job oppor-
tunity. I also think our roads, bridges and
dams are what keeps the county functional
and if we do not keep up with their needs, we
as a county will crumble.
Howdo you plan to address the issues
listed above if elected?
My running mates and I are willing and
ready to address these issues head on in
order to create new initiatives to solve them
including Project 21, the Hire Local
Campaign and the Infrastructure Repair and
Enhancement Plan. All of these initiatives are
plans we have put in place to solve
Cumberland Countys biggest issues and if
given the opportunity to serve on the Board
of Freeholders I would certainly like to solve
them.
I along with my running mates support
the Project 21 initiative to bring 21st century
jobs to the county. This is just one of the ini-
tiatives we have set in order to solve the
county issues. The purpose of this plan will
be to compete to bring new industries to
Cumberland County and provide our resi-
dents with access to 21st century jobs. If
elected Freeholder, I will see to it that this
initiative be implemented to assist the county
financially and address the issues at hand.
Please provide a closing statement:
As a father and public service employee, I
would like to be given the opportunity to give
back to my community and represent the citi-
zens of this county who deserve a voice for
the issues that need changing. As Freeholder
I will serve as a fiscal watchdog for this coun-
ty and rest easy at night knowing that change
is right around the corner.
Candidate: Carlos Mercado
Democrat
About the candidate:
I am grateful to have grown up in the
small town of Deerfield Township, which
has always been family-oriented and a
place where everyone works together. I
graduated from Cumberland Regional High
School, Class of 1983, and then went on to
start my career in banking, as I now serve
as the Assistant VP and Branch Manager of
Century Savings Bank in Upper Deerfield.
The proudest day of my life will always
be the day I had my twin daughters, who
are now 25 years old. Aside from being the
mother of twins, I have served in govern-
ment as a Committeewoman, Deputy
Mayor of Deerfield Township, and am cur-
rently serving on the Cumberland County
Freeholder Board. The reason I have done
so much in the public service aspect is
because that is who I am. I feel a sense of
friendship in the people of Cumberland
County after being born and raised here,
and I would like to see us do better.
In your opinion, what are the three
biggest issues facing the county?
As a current Freeholder and liaison of
the Cumberland County Department of
Community Services, I have seen the strug-
gles firsthand that this county is facing. I
think the issues that are tying us down the
most is the lack of jobs, infrastructure and
safety. I have seen that we in Cumberland
County are not the only ones trying to
recruit new industries. We must do a better
job at competing, and by competing I mean
bringing people into Cumberland County.
How do you plan to address the issues
listed above if elected?
As a current Freeholder, I already have
insight on what we need to improve upon
in the county and how we can bring more
services in. In order to have prosperity and
solve these issues, we must push for a lower
crime rate, better infrastructure and job
opportunities to bring people in to see the
beauty in Cumberland County and increase
revenue.
Hire Local Campaign is just one of the
initiatives that will be run by my running
mates and I if elected to the County
Freeholder Board. This initiative includes
the Freeholder Board appointee taking an
active role in encouraging local businesses
to hire local residents. I believe this initia-
tive will be sure to increase our countys
economic prosperity by giving local
Cumberland County residents jobs in their
town and promoting the importance of
local business.
Please provide a closing statement:
It is my commitment and promise as
Freeholder to fight for the successes of this
county and I am ready to do so if given the
privilege to serve another term as
Freeholder. Failure is not an option in this
case, because we are talking about the
livelihood and safety of our citizens. I
believe that with an ambitious reform agen-
da that will be led by the Democratic Team,
we can turn Cumberland County around.

Candidate: James R. Sauro
Republican
About the candidate:
I have over 25 years of administrative and
professional experience in human and pub-
lic services at the state, in county and
municipal government administration, aging
and community services, child protective
services, community development and
health programs for senior citizens and the
disabled. I have a Masters Degree in social
work and have served as a Cumberland
County freeholder and a Bridgeton City
council president. I am currently an adjunct
professor and an active member of a number
of public service organizations.
I am a daughter of Samah Pearson and
Eula Pearson, born and raised in Bridgeton,
Cumberland County with a strong sense of
family and community. Public service has
always been my greatest passion, because it
means exactly what is says. That is why I
want to continue to serve the public as a
freeholder.
In your opinion, what are the three
biggest issues facing the county?
Three issues among those facing
Cumberland County is to attract and main-
tain business by improving our aging infra-
structure and providing educational oppor-
tunities, including vocational and technical
training, that our senior citizens are receiv-
ing every available service and to add to the
quality of life by effectively addressing
crime.
How do you plan to address the issues
listed above if elected?
I plan to address these issues by working
to make our county a more desirable place to
grow business, to live and work for our fami-
lies and seniors. Our county infrastructure
has a direct impact on building a strong and
prosperous county that attracts business.
The Infrastructure Repair and Enhancement
Plan is one of the initiatives that will assist
in its improvement. In order to grow busi-
ness and attract new industry, the county
needs a trained and educated workforce.
I am confident that the expanded education-
al and vocational opportunities will provide
learning opportunities so that our students
can compete in the global marketplace. I
will conduct a thorough review of all pro-
grams offered by the county to ensure the
best delivery of services to our senior citi-
zens. I will work together with law enforce-
ment, local leaders and the community to
support and enhance the progress that has
been made in addressing the issue of crime.
The Cumberland County Democratic Team
has a plan to address all of these issues,
which will move our County forward.
Please provide a closing statement:
I want to thank The Grapevine for the
opportunity to express my views on some of
the issues that face Cumberland County. I
live in Cumberland County and see the great
things that this county has to offer and the
areas where we can improve. The job that I
am willing to take on as freeholder will be to
make our county more livable, more afford-
able, and more desirable for families to live,
work, and enjoy life.
Candidate: Donna Pearson
Democrat
About the candidate:
I am 60 years old and have been married
to my wife, Susan Biczelewski for 34 years.
We have a son David, daughter-in-law
Mariel Guida, daughter Dominique (Nikki),
son-in-law John Miller, and daughter
Danielle. I have lived in Vineland my entire
life.
I am currently the CEO of A.R. Sauro
Plumbing, Heating & WaterCare, Inc. and
I hold a Master Plumbers License, a T-1
Water Operators License, a Small Water
Treatment Operators License, as well as
Construction Official, Plumbing Inspector
and Sub-code Official Licenses.
I attended Cumberland and Gloucester
county colleges and the Cumberland and
Cape May County vo-tech schools. I am a
member of the Plumbing Inspectors
Association of New Jersey and served for 10
years as Legislative Chair for the New
Jersey State League of Master Plumbers. I
currently serve on the Cumberland County
Construction Board of Appeals. I served on
the executive board on the Greater Vineland
Chamber of Commerce and am currently on
its legislative committee. I served on the
Cumberland Vo-tech Foundation Board and
have been on their advisory board for 25
years.
I am a recipient of the Pride of Vineland
award, as well as New Jersey State Senate
and Assembly citations for helping flood
victims during the 1993 Midwest floods. I
am a volunteer for Elwyn New Jersey and a
supporter of Special Olympics and Habitat
for Humanity.
I currently serve on the Board of Chosen
Freeholders and previously served on the
Board from 2000 until 2002 on Finance,
Public Works, and Health Committees and
served as Director in 2002.
In your opinion, what are the three
biggest issues facing the county?
1. Education: A large number of our high
school graduates must take remedial classes
for up to a year before starting college
courses. The perception here is that we
have an uneducated workforce. A full time
Vo-Tech High School is also needed so stu-
dents have more classroom time and mini-
mal travel time so that they can learn their
trade and be better prepared for the work-
place. This is currently in the works and
should be completed in the near future.
We must work on changing the percep-
tion of our educational system as well. This
is why I formed a committee comprised of
superintendents and community leaders
that meets to collaborate and share ideas.
Its important to market the successes of
our schools, especially at our Community
College, and correct any deficiencies. The
administrators and educators of the college
and high schools must collaborate to correct
the issue of unprepared students in our
county.
2. Economic development: We need to
bring businesses to Cumberland County and
retain the ones that are here. We can have
an analysis done by local business students
to obtain data from businesses that are con-
sidering relocation to Cumberland County
or have already done so, to find out what
our deficiencies are and implement plans to
correct them.
In regard to business attraction, we can
work to improve the current website by
making it more user-friendly for prospective
businesses so they can easily locate proper-
ties. Current listings do not have the neces-
sary links showing details about available
properties or links to local real estate
agents. A continuously updated calendar of
local events would enhance the website as
well.
We must also re-create the marketing
program, previously cancelled by the
Democratically controlled Freeholder
Board. This program would stress all the
positive things that Cumberland County has
to offer.
It is especially important that our tax
rate be stabilized. This current board is not
doing that. We have the opportunity to
return over $800,000 to the citizens of
Cumberland County. In a recent vote, the
democratically controlled Freeholder Board
voted against doing this.
3. County Image: We need to improve
the current image of Cumberland County by
implementing a decisive marketing pro-
gram, which will promote the strengths of
our county and its positive aspects. As stat-
ed, we must improve the county website to
be more interactive. The calendar of events
needs to be expanded to include the whole
county and surrounding areas. We can
improve our marketing program so that we
can overcome the image that has often been
negatively portrayed in the news media. I
propose to reinstate the Cumberland
County, More to Offer marketing program
that was eliminated by the Democratic-con-
trolled Freeholder board.
Please provide a closing statement:
Cumberland County has not reached its
potential. Politics has prevented this.
Currently, we have a freeholder board that
is not inclusive or transparent. Proof of this
can be found by viewing their meetings. A
true leader is not the one who comes up
with a great idea, but recognizes it when it
is presented. The secret is to listen. When
one listens, one will recognize a great idea.
This board is not listening. It has its own
agenda and it is failing the citizen of
Cumberland County. And because of this,
we are not moving forward. Vote for Mike
Barruzza for Sheriff, Gloria Noto for County
Clerk, Jim Sauro, Carman Daddario, and
Louise Bertacchi for Freeholder. We will be
that leadership, we will listen, and we will
move the county forward with your help.

Plant To Save Water
and Money
Many communities endure harsh sum-
mers characterized by high temperatures
and infrequent rainfall. In such locales,
local governments typically institute water
restrictions on local landowners. These
restrictions limit the amount of water
homeowners can use to maintain their
properties, and some homeowners choose
to install new irrigation systems in an effort
to help their lawns and garden survive the
potentially harsh summer weather.
While new irrigation systems can be
effective, homeowners looking for alterna-
tives to such systems can find ways to save
both water and money. Planting right is a
great way to conserve water and save
money, and homeowners need not be vet-
eran landscapers to ensure their lawns
and gardens survive and even thrive dur-
ing warm weather.
Choose the right season to plant.
Some plants thrive when planted during
certain times of the year, but many plants
should not be planted during the summer-
time. When planted in the summer, plants
typically need more water to establish
themselves because the temperatures are
hotter. Spring or fall tend to be the best

FALL GUIDE FOR

FALL GUIDE FOR
The Autumn
Gardener
By Christine Clemenson
The autumn gardener
revels in the feeling of
anticipation that comes
from advanced prepara-
tion. She waits through
the winter months satis-
fied that the tasks com-
pleted in fall will give
her spring garden a
head start. When spring
finally emerges, this gar-
dener enjoys watching
the burgeoning buds and sprouting
shoots of fall-planted perennials.
Many of the insects that wintered in
her garden rise up to pollinate the
ephemeral blooms or provide much
needed protein for momma birds to
feed their young.
Early in autumn, this gardener
plants. Recognizing that migrating
butterflies and birds require an
abundant amount of food for their
journey, she makes sure that her
garden has plenty of flowering nectar
and host plants. Native plants are
her first choice, because the native
birds and butterflies recognize those
species that have been present since
their own ancestors flew through the
area.
Evaluating the garden landscape
for gaps or areas of overcrowding,
this gardener divides and transplants
perennial seedlings into other spaces
or into pots to give to friends. With
six to eight weeks of warm weather
before frost, transplanted roots still
have time to fill in and hold onto
their new homes soil. Only newly
planted/transplanted foliage is
mulched. With an eye on the weather,
this gardener makes sure that her
garden still receives an inch of water
each week right up to frost.
Selective cleanup exemplifies the
autumn gardener. Diseased plants
bagged up for the trash heapdo not
enter the compost pile where their
pestilence may spread to next years
crop. Flowers that re-seed aggressive-
ly get snipped back before they
spread their progeny. Weeds are
pulled or cut and discarded. However,
seed laden grasses and flower heads
are left as forage and shelter for the
birds and bugs of winter. Peering out
the window in December, the autumn
gardener delights as goldfinches
swoop down to pluck seeds from
coneflowers.
Meanwhile juncos hop around for a
wintery snack under the protective
cover of branching perennials and
shrubs. Snow-tipped seed heads and
rustling grasses rouse her senses as
she steps outside across a frosty
path. She feels peace and reassur-
ance knowing that the hollow stems
of last years blooms house next
years insectsfood in the making for
springs songbirds.
For the autumn gardener, there is
no dead of winter. Living creatures
and plants quietly stir, both under
and above the surface. As she sits in
the warmth of her home, cleaning
garden tools and dreaming her way
through seed catalogs, the gardener
knows that tasks completed in the
fall will beget a more abundant and
healthy spring garden, enabling
her to savor each season of her gar-
dens glory.

seasons to plant, but homeowners can
consult a local lawn and garden profes-
sional to determine the best time to plant
in their specific region.
Learn about native plants and grass-
es. The most beautiful lawns and gardens
in the dog days of summer are not neces-
sarily those owned by the most obsessive
homeowners. Instead, these homeowners
might just have chosen grass and plants
native to the local climate and therefore
more capable of handling the ups and
downs of that climate. When choosing
grass and plants for your lawn, consult with
a local lawn care professional if you're hesi-
tant to choose your own grass and plants. If
you dont want to work with a consultant,
do your homework on both your property
and the region where you live before mak-
ing any decisions. For example, if your
home is located in a region where summer
drought is commonplace, then grass and
plants that do not need much water might
be your best option.
Aerate the soil. Healthy soil can help
to protect grass and plants forced to cope
with harsh conditions. Aeration is a
process by which soil is punctured with
spikes or cores of soil are removed from
the ground to improve drainage and water
penetration. Operating an aerator in the
yard can be challenging, so its often best
to leave such a project to the profession-
als. But when planting in a garden, home-
owners can turn and cultivate the soil to
improve its moisture retention with a goal
toward growing healthier plants.
Lay mulch around bushes, plants,
shrubs and trees. Mulch serves many
purposes, from the practical to the aes-

FALL GUIDE FOR
Aeration Helps Avoid Costly Lawn Renovation
Source: Leafy Green Landscaping
Power core aeration is one of the most important cultural practices available
for your lawn. Aeration helps control thatch, improves the soil structure, helps
create growth pockets for new roots, and opens the way for water and fertilizer to
reach the root zone of your lawn.
Annual or semi-annual aeration is advised for all lawns on heavy clay soils,
those with a thatch buildup, and any lawn that needs to be thickened up.
How aeration works: Aeration removes thousands of small cores of soil one to
three inches in length from your lawn. these cores melt back into the lawn after
a few rainfalls, mixing with whatever thatch exists on your lawn. The holes created
by aeration catch ferilizer and water. Turf roots naturally grow toward these growth
pockets and thicken in the process. Aeration holes also relieve pressure from
compacted soils, letting oxygen and water move more freely into the root zone.
Regular aeration can help avoid costly lawn renovation: Thatch on your lawn
workds like a thatched roof. This layer of roots, stems and other plant parts
sheds water and prevents fertilizers and insect controls from moving freely into
the soil. Thatch that is too heavy can make major lawn renovation necessary.
Regular aeration helps thatch break down naturally by mixing the soil cores into
the thatch and speeding up decomposition. Performed once or twice per year,
aeration significantly reduces thatch and improves turf growth.

thetic. Many homeowners find laying
mulch around their property adds to the
propertys visual appeal. But mulch also is
practical, helping soil to retain its mois-
ture and reduce evaporation. However,
only newly planted or transplanted foliage
should be mulched, so resist the tempta-
tion to overdo. In addition, mulch helps
curtail the growth of weeds, which com-

Why Use Native Plants?
Source: Clemenson Farms Native
Nursery
Native plants are those plants
occurring within a set region prior
to European contact (as opposed to
cultivars or alien, introduced, or
naturalized species). There are
many reasons to choose native
plants over others:
Beauty: Many natives are fra-
grant, brightly colored, and provide
seasonal color changes. As many
are unique to a specific area, they
give the look of rarity, provide an at-
home feel, and promote pride for
our region.
Brawn: Planted in native soil,
they are known for their hardiness
and are already adapted to the
regions climate and wildlife. The
use of native rather than non-
indigenous plants enhances conser-
vation of our natural resources and
usually ensures a low-maintenance
and sustainable garden.
Biodiversity: Native plants have
evolved with the native insects and
animals. They provide food and a
natural habitat for the butterflies,
birds, and other wildlife that are so
vital to a balanced ecosystem.

pete with existing plants for water.
Make trees work for you. Planting
trees around a lawn can not only improve
the curb appeal of your home, but also
trees serve more practical purposes. When
planting trees, look at them as natural
providers of shade that can lower soil
temperatures and reduce moisture loss.
You may want to plant trees in such a way
so they provide shade to areas that tend to
be hit especially hard by summer sun.
Planting right with a goal of protecting
their property from the elements and con-
serving water can save homeowners
money and make their lawns and gardens
more aesthetically appealing.
Caution When Painting
Indoors
Few people might think of potential
safety hazards when planning to paint the
interiors of their homes. Though every
home improvement project can lead to
injury if safety measures are not taken seri-
ously, painting is widely considered a proj-
ect where do-it-yourselfers are at minimal
risk of injury. But in addition to the injury
risks associated with climbing up and
down ladders to paint ceilings or out-of-
reach corners, there are some health and
safety concerns that painters must consid-
er before beginning their projects.
According to the Environmental
Protection Agency, the majority of paints
contain chemicals that evaporate in the
air, and these chemicals can adversely
affect human health. Problems associated
with chemicals found in some paints

Entertaining Scarecrows
Rutgers Master Gardeners of
Cumberland County organized
Community Fun Day at the Cohanzick
Zoo on a recent Saturday, as well as a
scarecrow contest for schools and
youth groups. This year there were 21
scarecrows, which were used to deco-
rate the zoo for "Boo at the Zoo." After
this event, the winning scarecrows will
be displayed at the businesses that
sponsored the contest. Each business
gave the winning class $100. Look for
these scarecrows around Bridgeton!
The theme was New Jersey-
born/raised entertainers.

Improved Bottom Lines
Lower Maintenance Costs
Increased Convenience
Generous Equipment Financing
planning a very large project. Failure to
ask about coverage before starting the
renovations puts you at risk.
If you will be using contractors and
subcontractors, be sure that they are
insured and bonded. Should they damage
your home or be injured during the reno-
vation, their insurance will cover any
resulting expenses. However, if they are
not insured or bonded, you may be held
liable through your own insurance policy
or you may have to pay out of pocket.
Keep all receipts and document the
progress of the renovation. You may need
this information to present to your insur-
ance carrier after the renovation is com-
plete. This way you can request a new
appraisal of the property and secure ade-
quate insurance coverage.
Certain improvements may make you
eligible for discounts. For example, a new
heating system, energy-efficient appli-
ances or an alarm system may qualify you
for rebates or lower premiums.
Homeowners may think they have cov-
ered all of their bases when preparing for
a home renovation project. However, it
also is essential to consider insurance
needs before you begin work and then
again when the project has been complet-
ed and the value of the home has
increased. I

There are many more products in
the showroom, from everyday fixtures

els. Did you know you can have a tele-

medicine cabinet? At Ace, youll also
see the largest display of bath, kitchen,
and door hardware in South Jersey.
Are you happy with your current
showerhead? Our showerhead display,
with over 30 working models, makes

can now see and feel the spray pattern
before you buy it.
