Tim Hawkins brings his stand-up to


a Vineland church with one goal
to make you laugh hysterically.
{ BY JEFF SCHWACHTER }

Tim Hawkins mixes comedy with music at churches and other


venues across the country. Laugh with him this Saturday at
Chestnut Assembly of God in Vineland.

n a short video clip created to advance Tim Hawkins


concerts during his current slate of showsincluding
this Saturdays (October 8) show at the Chestnut
Assembly of God in Vinelandthe comedian-musician
starts out on a stage perched in front of a keyboard he is
gently playing.
With his name in giant lights behind him and an
acoustic guitar in a stand at his right, Hawkins, wearing a
T-shirt, navy blue track pants with a white stripe down
the sides (circa 1985) and sandals, faces the camera,
speaking directly to the viewer:
I am coming to your area very, very soon to bring my
comedymore so a ministry: the Ministry of Laughter.
You know, laughter is Gods medicine to the soul. Its a
salve. Its a gentle balm.
With shows booked (mainly) at places of worship
across the United States through late September 2017,
Hawkins, a St. Louis, Missouri native, has become one of
the most popular church comics of today.
The reason is simple: He is hilarious.
Always.
As the preview video clip illustrates, Hawkins likes to
have fun, and more importantly, make people laugh. His
website is delightfully sprinkled with his comedy, which
marries the absurdities of our time with on-the-nose
observations that expose the ridiculousness of daily life
while marveling in its hilarity, as his websites bio states.
While appearing at churches and stadiums across the
country for the past decade, Hawkins has become
entrenched in the Christian comedy world, adding fans to

Pamela Ann Sjogren, current Chair of


the Cumberland County College Board
of Trustees, has been selected by the
Garden State Council of the Boy Scouts
of America as a recipient of the Women

outstanding women from the six counties in southern New Jersey which the
Garden State Council serves.
The awards reception takes place
Wednesday, Oct. 5, beginning 6 p.m., at

Almonesson, NJ.
The Women of Achievement are
selected by leaders in the southern New
Jersey business community for their
dedication, loyalty and commitment to
the communities where they work or
reside. The recognition is accorded to
those who exemplify in their daily life
the ideals of the Boy Scouts of America

BUILDING
Continued from cover
North 6th Street on the west.
According to a statement issued by the
citys contracted public relations firm,
The new two story police headquarters
building is planned to meet current needs
and anticipated growth through the year
2040. In addition to the main building,
plans call for a 6,150 square foot outbuilding to house large bulk evidence
storage, evidence cars, bicycle storage, and
undercover vehicles, as well as kennel
runs for the canine unit.
According to Bermudez, construction
is scheduled to start next year with completion of the project slated for 16 months
later, which would be the end of 2018.
According to Architect Dave Manders,
Ninety to 95 percent of the land needed
for the project is owned by the city or by
Vineland Public Schools, he said.
Bermudez said that the city will work
as quickly as possible to acquire the land
currently occupied by three private residences in the coming months.
Reading from prepared comments during the press conference, Bermudez stated
that, the existing Vineland Police building, which dates back to 1966, has reached
the end of its productive life cycle and no
longer meets the requirement to provide
space for the citys policing needs.
It is essentially both physically and
functionally obsolete, the mayor continued. For example, the [recent facility
needs assessment] study found that the
existing space is about half of what is
needed to operate both efficiently and
safely, there is inadequate security provisions for prisoner entry and processing,
the location of the interview room creates
a security issue, there is a lack of adequate
secure parking for police vehicles, the
building has a non-functional HVAC system, and the lower level of the building
floods during heavy rains.

The new police station was designed by Manders, Merighi, Portadin &
Farrell Architects of Vineland in consultation with Michigan-based
Redstone Architects. At top left is the view from the corner of North

Sixth and East Plum streets. Above is the view from North Sixth and
East Pear streets. Mayor Bermudez contends that it would be more
cost effective to build a new facility than renovate the current one.

visit to St. Mary School recently. Mr. Steven
P. Hogan, principal at St. Mary School, was
elated. Bishop Sullivan greeted the students
as they arrived by bus and by car and a

staff and parents, Im here to welcome the
children and to bring my office and myself here as a sign to this community, and
to this school, and to this parish how important Catholic education is,
The student body surprised Bishop Sullivan by singing an Irish ballad near
and dear to him entitled, "Wild Mountain Thyme." Bishop Sullivan then visited
each classroom to talk with the students. Bishop Sullivan was so moved by his
visit that the next day, he sent seven sheet cakes to the school in celebration of
our Blessed Mother's birthday and as a thank you for the beautiful service.
Other guests in attendance included Fr. Robert Sinatra, Pastor and Fr. Francis
Kim Parochial Vicar of St. Padre Pio Parish; Fr. Paul Olszewski, Pastor and
Deacon Russell Davis of The Parish of All Saints; Ms. Mary Boyle, superintendent
of Catholic Schools; and Fr. Michael Romano of the Diocese of Camden.

It is Samantha Cocoves mission to make the


world a better place by finding ways to alleviate
poverty through education, mentoring and community outreach.
Shes off to a great start.
Within a week of completing her freshman year at
Cumberland County College in May, Cocove was
heading to New England to participate in a robust
15-week summer program with AmeriCorps.
Ive had the desire to join the Peace Corps,
Cocove said, and I thought getting involved in
AmeriCorps would be a good way to try it out and
see how I would make out.
Each year, AmeriCorps engages more than 75,000
members who serve at 21,000 locations throughout
the United States. Cocove said a program offered at
Vermonts Castleton University caught her attention.
That particular program would allow her to provide guidance and encouragement
to peer mentors who would, in turn, encourage and communicate regularly with
new students.
Working as the Mentor Coordinator, Cocove helped Castleton University pioneer an innovative mentoring program to serve first generation, low income and
disabled students about to enter their freshman year at the university.
One of Cumberland County Colleges best and brightest, Cocove is a member
of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society and participated in the Student Pathways
Leadership Instituteserving this year on its planning team. She has volunteered
with a number of service agencies, including the Medical Reserve Corps of
Cumberland County, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), Gateway
Community Action Partnership and with the Boys and Girls Club of Vineland.
Work as a teachers aide in the colleges 2015 Summer Academy for Kids program nurtured her creative side.
Samantha is a natural born leader with emotional intelligence and maturity.
She is a self-starter, ambitious and inclusive in her approach to leadership. Her
creativity is contagious and her smile fills the room, Kellie Slade, executive
director of Cumberlands Center for Academic and Student Success.
While Cocove will soon need to decide to which four-year institutions she will
apply (Cornell, Notre Dame and Amherst are in the running), she said her decision to attend Cumberland County College was an easy one. As a student at
Cumberland Regional High School, she participated in the colleges School
Counts! program, earning a two-year tuition scholarship by achieving specific
academic and attendance goals from 9th through 12th grades.
School Counts! has been a motivation to achieve excellence in college, and
has enabled me to build on my leadership skills, she said. The scholarship has
been such a help for my family.
Somehow Cocove manages to juggle her time as a full-time Social Science
major, a substitute teacher assistant in Deerfield Township, and as a floral
designer for the ShopRite supermarket in Millville.
Meanwhile, numerous members of Castleton Universitys freshman class will
benefit from Cocoves important work over the summerwhat she hopes will be
the first of many experiences with the AmeriCorps organization.
I love empowering others and teaching through my experiences, she said. I
would be honored to serve with AmeriCorps again.

Maybe too many holes.
Then came the heat wave.
We had the 20th driest June, the 9th
warmest but also the 14th wettest July,
and the second-driest August, based on
records extending back to 1895.
I watered daily, sometimes twice, and
now the pots drained real well. The
cilantro croaked first. Then the basil. I put
in more cilantro seeds, and plunked in the
roots of some bagged basil I bought for
pesto. The basil thrived immediately, but
then fell victim to some airborne gray fungus. The cilantro showed no life.
Now, I hate to point fingers, but we
have a big, fat groundhog in our yard and I
happen to know it eats tomatoes, so I did
not plant any this year. Did he take
revenge on my herbs and flowers?
I admit Im a sink-or-swim type of gardener. But I didnt start out that way. Ive
tried pre-seeding in February in egg cartons, fertilizing with Miracle Gro,
installing cut-to-fit seeded carpets of
wildflowers, always picturing a lush, colorful display that lasts all season. How
disgustingly nave.
Now I buy anything that has had success in my yard, throw some seeds in
some soil, and dare it to grow. If it does, I
throw water on it and recite poetry to its
struggling blossoms. This late in the year,
I finally have about 10 violet morning glories blooming on the vine, and when
theres a breeze, a heart-shaped leaf on a
stem pops up over the trellis and spins, as
if to say, Wait! We're not ready to go
yet!
And the autumn rains are starting to
pour down.
Soon the frost will force us to rip out
all the dead foliage in our yard, and I can
put the stinking watering can back in the
shed. And all winter long, I can drink hot
tea and look out over the bleak landscape,
dreaming of finer days.
Bountiful fig trees! Tall banana trees!
Beautiful purple ornamentals!
If you can forgive Mother Nature her
capricious ways, hope springs eternal in a

took a bus trip to New York City
with the Rutgers Master
Gardeners of Cumberland County.
We walked the High Line, an aerial greenway and rails-to-trails urban park built on
an elevated section of disused train spur
once called the West Side Line. The beautiful path is maintained through donations
and the work of its volunteers.
Next we saw Jefferson Market Garden
in the heart of Greenwich Village. It is a
lush corner garden in a busy intersection
bursting with flowers and ornamental
trees, also maintained by donations and
the work of volunteers. The garden is built
on the site of a women's prison that was
demolished in the 1960s.
We spent some time at the 9/11
Memorial Plaza. The 8-acre park is a contemplative sanctuary, composed of a grove
of nearly 400 white oak trees, and the
largest manmade waterfalls in the United
States. We did not visit the Museum at the
site, as it was crowded and we did not
reserve ahead, but the falls are spectacular. Set within the footprints of the original Twin Towers, each pool is approximately 1-acre in size.
Riding home on the bus, I felt inspired
by the memorial and by the dedication of
those garden enthusiasts who keep the
city green, but also overwhelmed. My
puny efforts at home look nothing like
those extravagant colorful spaces.
But its not like I didnt try. It was a
cruel summer, was it not? After the early
spring rains, I lined up some pots on my
sunny deck, and planted some seeds.
Morning glories, daisies, cilantro, basil,
wildflowers. Then I waited for Mother
Nature to work her magic. There is always
a period in early June when its warm,
breezy, sunny and dry. Perfect for flower
shoots, and we did get some.
Then came the critters. Squirrels, chipmunks and birds dug out all of our potting
soil to get to the seeds and tiny plants. I
put more soil in, propped up the shoots,
and waited, and hoped.
Flooding rains reappeared, and I realized some of my pots were not draining,
so I braved the sheeting rain to buy a 15-

The Migrants

Brand New
Vineland

Cumberland County was the perfect backdrop for


shooting the television movie in 1973 about a
migrant family and their struggles.

{ 14 } the grapevine |

OCTOBER 5, 2016

n 2008, I wrote an article for this


column about the filming of the television movie The Migrants in
Cumberland County in 1973. When
it was published, I realized the 700-word
piece had barely skimmed the surface of
the topic. So over the next several years, I
continued to interview participants and
research further into this Hollywood project that had been shot entirely in this area.
In 2012, I hosted a screening of the movie
at the Vineland Historical and
Antiquarian Society and used some of the
additional information I had gathered for
an opening presentation at the event. But
the material was then filed away and forgotten for another four years before I
recently re-encountered it. I decided it
was time to rework all of the accumulated
information into a series that considerably
expands the scope of what was originally
offered in the initial article. I hope it will
give readers a better view of what transpired 43 years ago.
The story of The Migrants, credited to
playwright Tennessee Williams, concerns
a struggling family forever traveling to
available work, enduring the whims and
prejudices of farm bosses and laboring to
create a meager existence with no hope of
deliverance from economic incarceration.
The narrative unfolds in less than 90 minutes, but the story behind the making of
this film took considerably longer before
becoming part of the legacy of both
Hollywood and the Vineland area.
The origin of The Migrants story is
usually traced back to 1941 and the publication of Clark Mills poem of the same
title. Mills was a friend of Tennessee
Williams since their time as students at
Washington University in St. Louis during
the late 1930s. When the 40-page book
appeared in print, it contained a dedication to Williams. In a letter dated shortly
after the release, Mills informs the playwright of the dedication and tells him that
a copy had already been sent to him.
Sources like the Critical Companion to
Tennessee Williams attribute the idea for
the television movie to the Mills work, but
the lengthy poem is neither a narrative
nor a character study that could have
spawned the film. Instead, it is an impres-

sionistic piece that appears to be a treatise


on death. The migrants of the title are
nameless and faceless entities journeying
through unidentified landscapes. The settings seem to be mostly suburban, with little imagery associated with agriculture.
Its also unlikely that Williams had the
Mills poem in mind when he first presented the idea for a movie because the early
working title for the project was The
Barlows.
If anything, Williams idea owes a debt
to John Steinbecks 1939 novel The Grapes
of Wrath where another migrant farm
family struggles against a system that
takes advantage of the poor. In The
Migrants, there is a Tom Joad figure
forced to run from the law and a counterpart to the novels pregnant Rose of
Sharon. Even Jim Casys demise in
Steinbecks classic is echoed by the death
of one of The Migrants characters
Another misconception is that the
screenplay is based on a Williams story
that has remained unpublished. The truth
is that Williams never wrote such a piece.
In 1971, he pitched an idea for a script
about migratory farm laborers to veteran
Hollywood director Tom Gries, who was
just as concerned about the plight of the
migrant worker.
Lanford Wilson, the Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright who would eventually
construct the screenplay for the television
movie, told the New York Times in 1974
that Williams and Gries spent a year discussing various story ideas for the script
before bringing Wilson aboard to work on
the outline of a plot. The young playwright was no stranger to Williams
works, counting him as an influence and
adapting several of his plays for the screen
and for opera.
Once the narrative of The Migrants had
been completed, Wilson wrote the script,
a 135-page draft that would have produced
a film that ran over two hours. That version was trimmed down to 110 pages by
the time pre-production began. Additional
tinkering reduced it further so that it
accommodated an 84-minute running
time. I

ere going on a journey and


we want you to come along
with us. What kind of a
journey is it? Youll see

vision of the downtown Vineland of the
future. The journey will lead to redefining
the image of our downtown for the next
generation. Its a journey that leads to a
rebranding of downtown Vineland.
The adage goes that branding is everything and everything is branding. Our
downtowns brand is that image that
comes to mind of a certain place. For
Vineland, it used to be the image of
grapes, or eggs and poultry. Its since
evolved as part of a journey. The same
goes for downtown Vineland. Its brand
has evolved to reflect different timesthe
shopping mecca of earlier years, the
downtown of the babyboomers, and, now,
the downtown that adds millennials to
babyboomers, Gen X, and Gen Y. Thats
the journey on which we want to take you
at this branding party.
Heres what youll see:
At 5:30 p.m., arrive and get warmed up
with an hour or so of socialization and
networking in the theater lobby. Therell
be delicious hors doeuvres and a cash bar
to get you in the spirit.
At 6:30 p.m., head into the theater and
get set for a vigorous, powerful program
consisting of multimedia, film, and theatrical elements that will take you on the
journeypast, present, and future. Itll be
high-energy and high-impactmaking for
an exciting night where youll really get
pumped.
After that hour, we wont want you to
leave empty-handed, so well have swag
bags for you with the new logo on it and
containing useful items, goodies, and specials from our downtown businesses.
I want to thank Premier Orthopaedic

Associates for being the major sponsor for


this event, and to Capital Bank of New
Jersey for being the Reception and
Networking sponsor. I also want to thank
Mauros on the Aveour newest downtown
restaurant, right next to the theaterfor
catering this event. Stop in there and have
dinner and see for yourself one of the businesses that are redefining our downtown.
Thats only the beginning, however. Its
the launch of a new brand campaign that
will also result in new banners, new welcome signs at the mini-parks and at our
eastern gateway, and a sculptureall with
our new logo. Its one of the biggest initiatives weve had on Landis Avenue in many
years and were going to get it going with
a bang at the party. Come, celebrate, and
join in the fun and excitement.
***
Dont forget to come out and get a firsthand look at Vinelands heritage at our
next Downtown Merchants Meet-andGreet coming up this Thursday, October
6, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., at the Vineland
Historical & Antiquarian Society, 108 S.

Be careful when assessing trees after a


storm. Damaged trees are unstable and
pose a significant hazard. Consider having
a reputable tree care company assess any
damaged trees on your property, as they
have experience dealing with hazardous
trees.
Although you may need to remove
severely damaged trees, those with minor
damage usually recover. Follow these steps
immediately after the storm.
1) Assess whether the storm-damaged
tree should be removed.
Major limbs that are dead, have cracks,
or are broken should be removed as quickly as possible as they may pose a significant danger to people and property. If the
storm has exposed roots or caused them to
be lifted out of the soil, this means that the
tree poses a significant risk and needs to
be assessed by a professional. Even a little
root lifting can be a sign of weakness and
may indicate that the tree should be
removed.
2) Remove dead, broken, or hanging
branches from storm-damaged trees.
Heavy rains, ice, and wind can break
limbs, damage tender plants, wash away

Maybe youre finally updating your


1970s kitchen to one thats more sleek and
modern. Perhaps its as simple as remodeling a bathroom. Whatever the room, home
renovations can be pretty hectic and messy.
To get through your renovation, home
organization is the key. The following tips
should help you stay on top of the chaos.
Have files for everything.
Paperwork should be kept in one place.
Inexpensive file folders that are portable
can help you stay structured. Create a file
for all receipts, and as you post them to a
budget, move them to another file labeled
posted. Permits and papers from the city
should be kept together. Just for fun, create a folder of design ideas and pictures
from magazines to keep you inspired.
Cover it up. One word: plastic. No, not
credit cards. Use it to cover all heavy furniture that cant be moved from the room.
This will prevent dust and debris from getting into the cracks and crevices and keep
the finish on the furniture looking shiny.
Keep a list. No matter how good your
memory, things are going to fall through
the cracks. Hanging a clipboard on a nail in
the area you are working in will help you to

stay on task about people you need to contact, or things you need to do or buy for the
next day.
Have a place for everything. If youre
doing the remodel yourself, there is going
to be a certain amount of chaos and
upheaval. One thing that will help reduce
your stress level is keeping your tools in
one place. Create a space, such as a table,
where all small tools are kept. The larger
tools can sit on the floor under the table.
Every time youre finished with a tool, put
it back.
Contain your stress. Try to keep up
your usual routine, by having regular mealtimes, continuing to exercise, and getting
sufficient rest. If youre renovating a
kitchen, it may be difficult to eat meals at
home if you dont have a plan in place.

mulch, and erode soil from around plant


roots. Damaged or dead plant parts should
be removed soon after a storm to allow the
plant time to recover and reduce risk.
Branches that are bent from snow or ice
load should be removed, as they will not
straighten themselves back up. Make clean
pruning cuts back to lateral branches to
help them close. Make collar cuts rather
than flush cuts, which create a wound that
will be slow to seal and may cause disease.
Remove any debris so it wont pose a
threat.
3) Wait to fertilize storm-damaged
trees.
Once hazardous branches and trunks

are removed, the best treatment following a


storm is to wait. Allow sprouts to grow
until the crown regains much of what was
lost, and then prune to remove conflicting
branches. Learn more about restoring trees
after a storm.
4) Wait to treat non-hazardous
branches on storm-damaged trees
In most cases, fertilizer wont help your
plants recover any faster, and the next
heavy rain will wash it right off and into
the nearest body of water. Its best to wait
to fertilize until next season unless you
have evidence plants are deficient in a particular nutrient such as nitrogen.
5)Watch out for door-knockers, be

Sofas with tufting are all the rage but also tend to collect the dust bunnies.

sure to hire certified arborists.


Reputable tree service companies
rarely solicit business door-to-door.
Uncertified tree workers often descend
upon storm-damaged areas with pick-up
trucks and chainsaws. These workers may
not be insured and homeowners may be
left picking up the tab if their home or
neighbors property is damaged. If youre
unsure about taking care of your trees or
the recovery after a storm, use these tips

for hiring an ISA certified arborist.


Although storm damage may seem devastating at first, many trees can be saved
and preserved.

Shopping for a New Sofa? Tips To Keep in Mind


Looking for a quick and easy way to freshen up your living room? Look no
further than your sofa. A change of upholstery, especially a custom design, can
change the look and feel of your room without a complex renovation. Todays
sofa styles range from sleek and modern to traditional and timeless with a range
of details like tufting and nailheads, shown in ready-to-ship fabrics, or you can
pick from an expanded collection of fabric or leather to suit your style and budget.
When picking out your new sofa and giving it your own personal touch with a
range of custom options, keep these design tips in mind:
Fabric: There are so many pattern and texture options. How do you decide
between a menswear stripe, graphic floral, luxe leather or solid chenille? You
might do well to look in your closet for guidance. What color do you wear more?
Whats your favorite pattern? Your home is like your wardrobe and you need to
look good in it.
Tufting: Its trending and so much so that entire sofas are tufted. But it
does come in various degrees. The deeper the tuft, the more dramatic and
glamorous the sofa, while a more subtle tuft with simple button detail is more
conservative, contemporary and more suited for the minimalist.
Frame: Rather than concealing the frame in the construction process,
designers are exposing it, giving the wood timeworn details and a beautiful finish. Adding an architectural element to the piece, an exposed frame brings
another level of style to your space, particularly if its an open floor plan.
Finish: The finish of the sofa frame, if exposed, and legs comprise another
opportunity to showcase your individual style. With retailers, you have your
choice of many finishes, ranging from a rich walnut to weathered barnwood.
Finale: If an option, dont overlook the nailhead detailthe finale to your
sofa design. Use nailheads to accent a unique feature of the sofa such as a rolled
arm or seatback. But be sure to browse the range of sizes and finishes, including
old gold, stainless steel, pewter and gunmetal. Designers can further customize
the look of your sofa by changing the spacing between each nailhead.
Home furnishings stores offer a range of sofa styles, as well as complimentary
design services to help you create a one-of-a-kind item. In-stock pieces can be
delivered in two to four weeks, and custom pieces can be expected in 10 to 12
weeks.

finishings can include trim or moulding,


wall treatments, interior doors, posts and
columns, stairway systems, and ceiling
treatments. Here are some tips and tricks
from interior design experts to help you
choose the best interior finishings based
on your style and home:
STYLE: There are endless options
when it comes to moulding profiles. Its
important to consider the style of your
home, both inside and out when selecting
the right moulding, along with the
lifestyle, personalities and design preferences of those living in the home.
TYPE: Primary trim is used in most
home installations and includes baseboard, casings and crown mouldings. They
are the most functional trim elements and
help set the tone of a room. Design
enhancing trim such as chair rail, panel
moulding and architraves add extra
dimension and flair to any room.
Ornamental trim, a decorative trim, helps
warm up a space; corner blocks, plinth
blocks, rosettes and Ikons are part of this
category.
MATERIAL: Choose a material based
on application and the finished result
desiredoptions can range from solid
wood species, to MDF to faux wood and
flexible moulding options.
SIZE: The choice should be based
largely on the ceiling height of the room.
In many cases, there are complementary

profiles that can be used in a home with


varying ceiling heights. The size may vary,
but the style should remain consistent
room to room.
APPLICATION: Trim can be used in a
number of non-traditional ways, such as
creating door headers, wall treatments or
frames, and can be layered or built-up for a
unique or custom look. Planning the design
in advance can ensure that all of the necessary products are ordered at one time,
reducing down time in the project.

Upgrade Your Home with


a Classic: Hardwood Floors
When it comes to updating your home,

its hard to know what will last over the


long haul. Granite countertops that have
been the trend? Passe. Faux painted walls?
So yesterday (by the way, wallpaper is making a comeback). You get the idea.
Yet hardwood floors continue to withstand the test of time. They provide
warmth and add classic beauty to even the
most austere home.
Hardwoods are just easier, especially
for people who have pets and kids, Kevin
Aycock, president of Kevin Aycock Homes
in Atlanta told The Atlanta JournalConstitution in an interview.
These days homeowners have a plethora
of choices when it comes to installing hardwood floors. With so many choices, it can

While Old Man Winter will soon


be knocking on our doors, it will
remain hot and sunny inside Our
Lady of Mercy Academys greenhouse all year long. Located on
OLMAs campus, the greenhouse
was recently refurbished and is
now filled with plants and pots seeded with flowers, vegetables, herbs, and
more. The owners of the green thumbs that are responsible for this new
plant life are part of one of OLMAs newest clubs.
They call themselves Green Girls and couldnt be happier spending time
tending their plants. Green Girls are led by Mrs. Barbara DeValerio, OLMA
math teacher. The girls are especially excited about growing vegetables and
herbs that will be used by OLMAs very own chef to prepare lunches, said
Mrs. DeValerio. The club is a great way for students to get some hands-on
experience about plant science and horticulture, as well as to enjoy some fellowship. We plan to donate the plants and flowers we grow to Habitat for
Humanity for re-planting in the yards of the homes they build.

be daunting trying to decide on the best


hardwoods for your home.
However, most industry experts agree:
Pre-Finished beats unfinished by far.
Factory finishes can furnish up to 10
UV- and wear-resistant layers, and offer a
20-year guarantee that on-site finishers
cant get close to, Gary Mills of Fullerton
Wholesale Flooring in Anaheim, California,
told The Washington Post in an interview.
To this end, engineered wood (also

called veneers), which are made of three to


five layers of wood laminated together, can
be an affordable option that has all the
comfort, warmth and classic feel of solid
plank flooring. And because of cross-lamination, engineered floors are more stable
and dont expand and contract as much as
solid wood. They can also be installed at
any grade level, are typically less expensive
than solid planks (engineered wood costs
anywhere from $3 to $18 per square foot)

While hardwoods arent indestructible,

How to Choose the Perfect


Lighting for Your Media
Room
Now that football season is underway,
its time to make sure your media room is
up to the task of hosting fans and providing
the best atmosphere for cheering on your
team. The American Lighting Association
(ALA) offers great play-by-play tips to
effectively light your media room.
Reduce Glare on More Than Just
Your TV: Brent Protzman, manager of
energy information and analytics for
Lutron Electronics Company Inc., says
Lutron conducts extensive research to
determine how lighting and shading controls influence visual entertainment. Thats
because some people like to check their
fantasy football teams or catch highlights
on their laptops, tablets or smartphones
while still watching the game on TV.
Protzman says, Glare from the amount
of daylight can be overwhelming on these
devices. The trick is to lower shades and
dim overhead lights to make it easier to do
tasks.
Joe Rey-Barreau, an education consultant for the ALA and an associate professor

at the University of Kentuckys School of


Interiors and College of Design says,
Using different lighting layers is always
the best option for media rooms. A single
lighting layer could be fixtures that are of
the same type. For example, he explains,
one layer could be recessed lighting in the
media room, another layer could be wall
sconces, a third layer could be an integrated architectural lighting system such as a
cove or niche.
Adding three layers of light, along with
dimmers, gives homeowners the maximum
level of control over their lighting, which
effectively illuminates the room without
too much glare.
Dim the Light to Your Personal
Preference: Light fixtures such as pendants and glass globes tend to create bright
spots in a room, which can be problematic
for viewing television screens with direct
glare and reflections on the glass. To create
the perfect viewing atmosphere, Protzman
suggests dimming light fixtures to a very
low level. Your eyes will be able to quickly
adjust and adapt to the changes in light levels, he says.
According to Protzman, people tend to
perceive smaller decreases in light level
than what really changes. This means if
you dim a light by what seems to be 30 percent in brightness, you will actually reduce
the light level by as much as 90 percent.

added bonus, they save energy as well.

Youve finally got that bathroom


of your dreams! Now what? You
need to clean it properly so that
you can maintain your fixtures and
enjoy your space for years to come.
When it comes to keeping your
faucets and other bathroom hardware clean and bright, regular
cleaning with a mild soap and water
solution is usually all that is necessary. Just follow these basic steps:
Rinse well and polish dry with
a clean, soft cloth.
Towel dry any water left on
your faucet to avoid water spots on
the finish.
NEVER use scouring agents,
abrasive sponges, spray-on, leaveon, no-rinse everyday shower
cleaners. Many of these are highly
corrosive, acid-based cleaners containing ammonia or bleach. If you
damage your faucets by using these
cleaners, it may void any warranty
coverage.
Use cleaners such as Flitz,
Maas, or a mild soap and water
solution. For oil-rubbed bronze finishes, use only Maas or RainX.
Clean filter screens and aerators once a yearmore often if you
have very hard water.
For any scale build-up on the
spray face of showerheads and/or
hand showers, use a lime-scale
remover of a 50/50 solution of
white vinegar and water. Use it
ONLY on the spray surface, not the
plated surfaces.
For stubborn stains, make a
thin paste with baking soda and
water. Rub the mixture over the
faucet, rinse in clear water and dry
with a cloth. A great method to
clean your faucets and leave no
odor behind.

tures drop, trapped water in pipes can


freeze. Since water expands when it
freezes, it can cause the pipes to rupture.
When the pipes thaw, thats when homeowners might come home to a flooded
basement.
Instead of waiting before its too late,
now is the time to insulate your pipes
before the cold weather returns. Do it in
the comfort of warm weather at your
leisure so youre not rushed when the cold
weather arrives.
Insulate pipes: This action step performs double duty, keeping hot water pipes
warm and protecting cold water pipes from
freezing, which can lead to immediate
energy returns. Homeowners with existing
insulation should check it before the cold
weather comes to town. If either the insulation or its tape looks cracked or crumbles
to the touch, it should be replaced. If the
pipes have either wire or tape heaters,
homeowners should contact the pipe
heaters manufacturer before attempting to
insulate pipes.
Old Man Winter: As a homeowner, you
most likely will not be needing your hose or
sprinklers this winter season. To that end,
drain and store your lawn and gardening
supplies before the first freeze. Even wellinsulated homes reach freezing temperatures if left unheated.
Anti-leak technologies: Like any other
industry, new technology is being developed to prevent water damage. One product, the FloLogic System, acts like a circuit
breaker for the home plumbing system.
The FloLogic system monitors a homes
entire water flow from a single position on
the water main. When the flow through the
systems sensor exceeds a pre-set limit, the
system shuts off the water and sounds an
alarm at the keypad.
If connected to a security system,
FloLogic will notify the monitoring service. Shutting off the water prevents flooding, saving you from potentially costly
repairs. Many insurers will also offer discounts to homeowners who use the
FloLogic System.
If, however, a pipe is already frozen,
homeowners should turn off the water,
slowly thaw the pipe, then call a plumber to
make necessary repairs. I

Proud to be a clean comic,
doubling down on the funny,
rather than relying on obscenitylaced material or content for
mature audiences only,
Hawkins performs more than 100
shows a year, all usually sold-out
affairs.
Fans not only love Hawkins
humor, but also admire his skills
as a musician. He sings and plays
several instruments, and performs several musical numbers
during his set, incorporating
catchy songs into his dynamic
comedy routine, which he calls
one-part gifted and two-parts
twisted.
Hawkins multi-generational
audience can also see him online
in numerous, extraordinarily
funny music videos (including
The Chick-fil-A Song, Yoga
Pants, Cletus Take The Reel,
and The Government Can),
which have brought him fame via
YouTube. His latest (and ninth)
comedy special, Just About
Enough, will be released on

You are a talented guitar player and


performer, and music is a big part of
your show. Did you initially want to
become a songwriter, musician?
Thank you for the kind words. I didnt
set out to be a singer/songwriter. I do get
most of my motivation and inspiration from
music.
What are some of the little-known
similarities between being a comic and a
musician?
Its really about storytelling. Telling the
truth. Connecting with an audience.
When people think of stand-up
comics, they usually think dark, latenight clubsyou are performing in a
church in Vineland. Have you always per-

formed in churches? Do you also perform in comedy clubs?


I perform mostly in churches, some corporate shows, a little fundraising. When I
started there were a lot more comedy club
venues, but they mostly dried up and went
away. I really enjoy doing shows in churches. The challenges and rewards are great.
What can folks expect at your show?
Will it be family-friendly?
My show is what I call dysfunctional
family comedy. The show will feel a lot like
were hanging out in my living room.
You make a lot of people laugh and
have been doing so for many years. That
must be a good feeling.
Theres a lot of things I havent done or
experienced in my life, but I know what its
like to make an audience laugh. And the
feeling is euphoric.
Whats something your fans may not
know about you?
I make most of my money on tips. So, no
pressure.
Is there anything youd like to add?

Dennis Palmer, chair of the


Committee, described the bill-to-law
process and noted that New Jersey has
the most powerful governor.
There are those we are endorsing and
those we want to oppose, Palmer said of
bills, as he urged all to be involved in
the public process.
Dawn Hunter, GVCC executive director, outlined specific bills that the
Committee has agreed to oppose, as well
as some that it has decided to support.
Watch the Legislative Update in this
newsletter as well as emails from the
GVCC for continuing information on
specific bills.
Peter Kaprielyan, vice president of
Governmental and External Relations at

group project. Advocacy is strength in
numbers. It is important that we stand

out from the clutter and pick our battles.


He also mentioned two speific issues
that the Health Network has in common
with all businessespaid sick leave and
minimum wage. Both of these bills, were
they to become laws, would have a huge
adverse impact on Inspira, he said.

TESTIMONIAL OF THE MONTH


Membership in the Chamber of Commerce is a
dynamic opportunity to better understand how
your community functions. Its also an opportunity to promote your business or organization to
others. Be careful though, simply joining The
Chamber is only half of the benefit of membership. The other part, and maybe the biggest
reason to be a Chamber Member, is the opportunity to participate! The more who participate,
the greater the success, for your businesses and
our community, no matter how you measure it!

Bivalve, 2800 High Street, Port Norris, operates on Wednesday evenings from 3
to 7 p.m. through November.
The Bivalve Fishermen & Farmers Market allows consumers to not only have
access to locally grown, farm fresh produce but also fresh locally caught
seafood.
We expect to have a nice selection of vendors at the market, with the number
growing as the season progresses, said Meghan Wren, Bayshore Center's executive director.
Customers can expect to find farm fresh produce, baked goods, seafood, honey,
herbs, crafts and other items. Direct marketing of produce and products
through farmers markets continues to be an important sales outlet for agricultural producers nationwide.
Food in the United States travels an average of 1,500 miles to get to the kitchen
table. All this shipping uses large amounts of natural resources (especially fossil
fuels), contributes greatly to pollution, and creates excess trash with extra packaging. Today, there are nearly 4,800 farmers markets operating throughout the
nation.
New vendors are welcome to participate in the market. Contact Jamie Warner at
856-785-2060, ext 102 or visit www.bayshorecenter.org to obtain a copy of the
regulations and register for the market.
