Professional Documents
Culture Documents
A documentary that delves into the debates that arise when a grassroots agricultural
movement evolves into a booming international market. As the lm moves from farm
elds to government meetings to industry trade shows, we see the hidden costs of
conventional agriculture. We also see how our health, the health of our planet, and the
agricultural needs of our society are all intimately connected. The lm compels us to look
forward, towards a new vision for our culture and encourages us to ask, How can we eat
with an ecological consciousness? Questions and answers with the Director to follow.

If it werent for the late Ercole Coolie Quairoli (pictured above left), the City of Vinelands time capsule from 1961 might not have
been found. The former city Road Department (now the Dept. of Public Works) worker took Mayor Robert Romano and Recreation
Department Superintendent Dale J. Elbeuf to the site in Landis Park where the time capsule was buried for the past 50 years.
Bottom left: Public Works supervisor Joe DiCriscio hauls the capsules vault out of the ground. Top right: Public Works employees
remove the cement cap from the time capsule vault. Bottom right: workers inspect the glass bubble containing newspaper clippings,
photographs and other memorabilia from 1961. Romano plans to have a time capsule from this year buried in the coming months.

hen I was a teenager, my
favorite thing in all the world
was trolling through my sis-
ters room, looking at all of her
jewelry, trying on clothes, playing albums,
etc.the usual younger sister stuff. She knew
it was going on and used to try her best to
stop me, but short of pad-locking her room, I
was free to roam. The absolute end was
when I borrowed her favorite purple silk
shirt, got a coffee stain on it and shoved it
behind the other clothes in her closet when I
got home. Needless to say, she found it. I
tried to play dumb, but it didn't work. She
has reminded me of that sin frequently
throughout these past 30 years.
I think I still like to try on other peoples
clothes and troll through their old stuff
because I am a frequent shopper at thrift
stores. My favorite places are the two loca-
tions for A Company of Angelsthe one on
Harvard Street in Vineland, just off Park
Avenue, and the one in Millville, on the
main drag. Great place to find household
goods, clothing, jewelry, china, books, VHS
tapes, CDs, linens, and the like. Ed and
John, the owners, keep both places spotless
and well-organized. I know without a doubt
that every time I go Ill be sure to find some
little treasure that I just cant live without.
Sure makes it less stressful than trying to
break into my sisters house!
Anyway, here is one of my sister Lindas
favorite little treats for those cool autumn
nights that are fast approaching. Look for a
great mug at one of the thrift stores to enjoy it
injust be careful not to spill it on your shirt.
AZTEC SLUGGERS
1 cup freshly brewed strong coffee
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 oz. Kahlua
2 oz. finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
6 tbsp. heavy cream
1 tsp. sugar
Heat coffee, bourbon, Kahlua, choco-
late and 2 tbsps cream in heavy bottomed
saucepan just until chocolate is melted.
Do not boil.
Whisk remaining 1/4 cup cream with
the sugar until it holds soft peaks. Divide
coffee mixture between two mugs, top
with whipped cream, sprinkle with cinna-
mon and enjoy! I

News in Brief
FEMA Opens Disaster Recovery
Center in County
A team of experts from the Federal
Emergency Management Administration
and the Small Business Administration
opened a Disaster Recovery Center recent-
ly at the Countys 911 Center to provide
face-to-face assistance to those who suf-
fered damage from Hurricane Irene.
The Center is located at 637 Bridgeton
Avenue, Bridgeton, NJ 08302. It will be
open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week,
until further notice. A special entrance can
be found on the right side of the building
At the center, visitors can:
Receive information about different
types of state and federal disaster assistance.
Get help completing applications for
U.S. Small Business Administration low-
interest disaster loans for homeowners,
renters, businesses of all sizes and private
nonprofit organizations.
Inquire about the status of applica-
tions for federal assistance.
Receive referrals to voluntary organiza-
tions to help with immediate unmet needs.
Learn cost-effective measures to
reduce the impact of future disaster losses.
Rabid Cat Found in Vineland
City health officials are warning resi-
dents to be on guard after a rabid cat was
caught by an Animal Control Officer on N.
East Avenue between Garden and Forest
Grove roads. On Tuesday, September 13, a
gentleman was attacked by the rabid cat
while trying to enter his vehicle. The NJ
Department of Health and Senior Services
Rabies laboratory two days later confirmed
the cat was rabid and the man exposed will
be seeking treatment for himself to prevent
further complications.
Residents in that area of Vineland are
encouraged to take precautions themselves
against rabies exposure from wild and stray
animals and to assure that their outdoor
pets are vaccinated against the potential
lethal disease. Be extra cautious when
allowing indoor pets to roam outside.
Examine your pet for bites and report them
to the Vineland Health Department by call-
ing 856-794-4131.
An exposure to rabies can be fatal for a
human or a pet, and vaccination of pets and
other animals represents the best preven-
tive measure available. Please carefully bag
a dead or killed bat to allow laboratory
examination for presence of rabies. Always
call Vineland Health Department at 856-
794-4131 for instructions on safe handling
of dead animals.
Infected animals spread rabies virus
through their saliva. People and unvaccinat-
ed animals can be infected froma rabid ani-
mal froma bite or scratches if the saliva gets
into the eyes, nose, mouth or a break in the
skin. If you encounter unusually aggressive
animals or see one acting unusual, call local
police. Any animal bite needs to be reported
to the city health department at 856-794-
4131 for investigation.
Knights of Columbus Council
Earns International Award
Knights of Columbus Pope John XXIII
Council 6621 of Saint Padre Pio Parish in
Vineland, NJ has earned the distinction of
Star Council, one of the organization's top
awards, for the 2010-2011 fraternal years.
The organizations headquarters, located in
New Haven, Connecticut, made the
announcement. The award recognizes
overall excellence in the areas of member-
ship recruitment and retention, promotion
of the fraternal insurance program, and
sponsorship of service-oriented activities.
The award was presented to the member-
ship by DD Ben Germanio at a special cere-
mony held on September 8, 2011.
Cumberland County Womens
Hall of Fame
The Cumberland County Womens Hall
of Fame is seeking nominations of accom-
plished women to be honored by the Hall
at its fourth annual induction ceremony.
Anyone can nominate outstanding
women who have made significant contri-
butions to a profession, the community
and/or womens causes. The Hall of Fame,
a new organization that held its third
induction ceremony this past spring, will
honor this years winners at a gala event
April 25, 2012, at Merighis Savoy Inn.
Any woman selected for the award must
be or have been an innovator and a role
model. She must be a native of Cumberland
County or be employed in the county or
have made her contributions here. In April
nearly 300 guests attended the Halls third
gala event to honor eight inductees:
Dorothy Dotty Cullen, Dona Dute, Peggy
Gentile-Van Meter, Barbara Ann Logan,
Gladys Lugardo-Hemple, Alice Westbrook
Mulford, Tammy Tisa and Agnes Peg
Whitman.
We have so many women of remark-
able accomplishment, past and present,
said Louise T. Bertacchi, founder of the
Hall of Fame and president of its Board of
Directors. Their community contributions
are extraordinary and will live on through
recognition by the Hall of Fame and the
effect they have on young women.
The deadline for nominations is
December 2. This is an earlier deadline
than in the past so it doesnt conflict with
year-end holidays. To request a nomination
form, e-mail Louise Bertacchi at
LTB431@comcast.net or Kim Litchendorf
at Klitchendorf@cumberlanddairy.com.
Nominators must submit information on
the candidates ties to Cumberland County,
her accomplishments, and a brief biogra-
phy with related information.
For more information call 825-5929. I

FALL 2011
becomes a positive force, allowing each
partner to think and communicate at a
deeper level.
What issues most often cause conflict
between spouses? Bradway states that the
most prevalent topics are money, sex, par-
ents and extended family/children.
However, she also claims that the reactions
to little issues may reflect underlying
wounds from ones background.
Everyone learns to think or react to a
situation in a certain way, based on their
family of origin. We call it automatic
thinking because it is a reflex response,
Bradway says.
Several behavioral triggers will clearly
spell trouble in a relationship. According to
Bradway, Using contempt, ridicule, sar-
casm, defensiveness and stonewalling the
other person on an issue are all destruc-
tive. The silent treatment is particularly
contemptuous because it is just dismis-
sive.
These actions frequently reflect an
inherent power struggle in a relationship
that neither side may be aware of during
an argument. Ironically, while the peace-
maker or partner seeking compromise may
be perceived as weaker, Bradway states
that the opposite is true. That individual
may be showing more maturity. She
describes the situation as one who pursues
and one who distances during a conflict.
The roles may change, depending on the
circumstances.
It is an American theme that one side
either wins or loses. Everyone is stuck if
one side will not reach out. I believe that
each partner gets 50 percent of the blame,
she says.
Instead of placing blame on the other
person, Bradway encourages negotiation
through I statements, where individuals
describe their own feelings. The goal is to
reach authenticity in ones feelings.
Of course, there are always exceptions,
as people often do not recognize their own
dysfunction. One partner may be afraid to
speak up in order to maintain peace in the
relationship. Or, one partner may always
feel persecuted if they are corrected, turn-
ing themselves into professional victims.
Bradway says this dynamic is called the
Karpman Triangle. In this situation, each
side may switch back and forth from perse-
cutor to victim to rescuer within the rela-
tionship.
While everyone hopes for their own
happiness as a couple, sadly, sometimes a
relationship cannot be saved, either before
or after the wedding. If possible, an honest
assessment of the situation can spare much
anguish and regret.
Everyone must learn to forgive, but
someone should leave the relationship when

Engagement Issues: Diplomacy Primer
You've only just shared the news about your impending nuptials, and already
everybody wants to know when the big date is, who your attendants are going to
be, and whether you're serving chicken or beef. Here's how to deal.
Take a Deep BreathTry to answer all inquiries with maximum coolness and your
trademark sense of humor (one of the best tools for rebutting sticky questions
without bruising egos). Keep in mind that the people who are drilling you with end-
less, even sometimes insulting questions -- Aren't you too young to get married?
Won't this interfere with your promotion at work? When are you going to have kids?
-- aren't trying to drive you nuts. They just want to be part of the excitement and
help you avoid pitfalls.
Choose Your BattlesWhen your aunt assumes her dog walker will be invited to
the wedding, simply say, "We're very sorry, but with the cost of the wedding we
just can't invite everyone." Honesty is always the best policy. For bigger issues,
like when your fiance's family expresses concern over splitting holidays, enlist
your fiance. After all, you each know best how to manage your own crowd.
Be Fair with FriendsOur bet is that all of your friends, family, and coworkers are
basking in the light of your love. Well, almost all of them. There will always be a
few black sheep in the flock who, for one reason or another, just can't digest your
good news. Friends may be jealous or feel like you're abandoning them and that
they won't see you as often now (they're probably right). Try to clue in to their
concerns and reassure them the best you can.
Let It GoHow to handle evil-wishers (like high-school enemies, your commit-
ment-phobic squash partner, or that waiter from hell who's got a crush on you)?
Just ignore them. Who cares what they think? They'll get over it.

Main Street Vineland invites brides and
grooms to head to downtown Vineland for
Downtown Wedding Weekendthe ulti-
mate shopping experience for that special
day with a chance to win some great
grand prizes.
More than 20 downtown businesses,
covering the 500 to 800 blocks of Landis
Avenue, will participate in this event,
which will take place, rain or shine, on
Friday, September 30, from 10 a.m. to 6
p.m., and Saturday, October 1, from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. The businesses will display the
merchandise and services they can offer
to the bride- and groom-to-be. Find every-
thing from gowns and formal wear, shoes,
and jewelry to flowers, printing services
for invitations, limousine services, bank-
ing, bakeries, and restaurants as part of
this very special event.
Brides and grooms who register at five
or more stores (Landis MarketPlace being
considered one big store) will be eligible
for three grand prizes. Prizes include
$450 in jewelry from DeSoto Jewelers and
over $1,000 in gift certificates.
This is an exciting way to bring
together our downtown businesses and
also to show brides, grooms, and every-
one, the array of shopping choices in
downtown Vineland, said Brian Lankin,
event subcommittee chairperson. Lankin,
owner of Als Shoes and a Main Street
Vineland Board of Directors member, said
that this is part of an effort to bring mer-
chant events back to Landis Avenue.
Maps to help people locate participat-
ing businesses will be available at any of
the businesses. Some businesses will be
participating from their own locations
while others will have booths set up
inside Landis MarketPlace.
A key focus of Main Street Vineland is
to help our downtown merchants and to
assist them in marketing themselves, said
Main Street Vineland Executive Director
Todd Noon. Downtown Wedding
Weekend is an event that serves this pur-
pose. It also makes the public aware that
downtown Vineland has the variety of
businesses to make it a great place to shop
for all your needs.

Street Vineland office at 856-794-8653,

negative behavior patterns happen repeat-
edly and cause harm or emotional damage.
When circumstances become intolerable,
the angry partner should cut his or her loss-
es and exit the relationship. Also, children
should never be used to save a marriage
because they too often may create a wedge
between the couple, Bradway says.
Anyone considering marriage, regard-
less of age, should be aware and thought-
ful. To give their marriage the best chance
for success, Bradway advises couples to
take at least one year before their wedding.
Twelve months and four seasons expose
both partners to holidays, hobbies and job
obligations. It is important to experience
family interactions and the other persons
lifestyle throughout the full year.
Bradway claims that men tend to remar-
ry faster following a divorce or a spouses
death. They like the sense of being cared
for in the relationship, but should never
marry out of impulse.
Younger couples now live in a different
social environment than their parents and
grandparents may have in past genera-
tions. As both partners are often equally
educated, career issues may be as impor-
tant for both. Developing a viable formula
for sharing time and household responsi-
bilities is critical to avoiding disagreement
and resentment.
Bradway does caution couples against
living together, although it has become
commonplace before marriage. People
think that living together allows them to
really get to know one another. In fact, liv-
ing together does the opposite. The
research shows that unmarried cohabiting
couples are more apt to divorce. Why?
They often establish a non-committal
dynamic where theyre more willing to
leave. They often think of marriage as a
day for a party or as something that their
families wanted and expected them to do,
says Bradway.
In counseling, Bradway asks couples to
define their relationship vision for the
future. Like in a job setting, she considers
it important that couples explore the direc-
tion of their lives in five to 10 years.
Among other factors, younger partners
should think about finances and children;
older couples should contemplate retire-
ment and location issues.
A successful, enduring marriage takes
work, sustained effort and a real commit-
ment to realistically hang in there during
the tough times. The reward is emotional
fulfillment and a happy life together.

Reception/Party
Venues
After the proposal, the first step is realisti-
cally and methodically selecting a wed-
ding venue. These days, busy brides may
need some outside help to streamline
their search.
Erin Seay, owner of LeMage Event
Consulting in Bridgeton (www.events-
bylemage.com), launched her wedding
planning business last January. After 11
years in catering sales, Seay had booked
enough weddings to know she wanted to
share her expertise with southern New
Jersey couples.
I gear my business for bridal couples
with limited budgets. Unlike others, my
services are free or inexpensive, thanks to
my contracts with several very high quali-
ty area venues and vendors. I am paid
when they contract a couple I recom-
mend. If brides choose venues outside my
portfolio, I charge a nominal hourly fee,
says Seay.
Seay warns brides to skip the Internet,
saying, Research is useless without a set
budget. Venues will almost always negoti-
ate, so a bride who only requests a pub-
lished wedding package is unaware of the
possibilities. Seay warns against buying a
set package program because numerous
tricks can reduce the price while retain-
ing the entire guest list.
She advises selecting venues with flexi-
ble pricing for off-season dates, non-tradi-
tional weekdays and times. Be careful
using the term wedding, as it may raise
the cost, she warns.
Seay recommends thinking
about substituting a lavish cock-
tail reception for a traditional
sit-down reception. She says,
This option is ideal for 75 to
125 guests and promotes min-
gling. Almost any venue will
accommodate this choice, and it
may save $10 to $15 per person.
Anything over 125 becomes
chaotic and crowded.
If a bride does use a generic
wedding website for informa-
tion, Seay advises choosing three
local venues to visit. She urges
couples to trust their coordina-
tor since venues always try to
up sell their wedding pack-
ages. When contracted, Seay
accompanies her bridal clients on three
complimentary site visits.
What types of wedding locations are
popular this year? Seay claims, Special
venues like vineyards and beaches, or des-
tinations with spending in one location,

have generated increased interest. Smaller
halls are hurting.
Seay cites four important issues when
contracting with a venue:
Avoid surprises by confirming that all
extra fees, including ceremony setups
and cake cutting services, are clearly stat-
ed.
Understand the facilitys rules on what
you may supply, such as candy, candles or
cakes, and what is extra.
Confirm if pricing is locked in, or if either
side may renegotiate specific items.
Understand deposits are nonrefundable.
Once contracted, Seay will help plan, but
remains uninvolved with any legal issues.
In the local area, several venues
accommodate smaller and larger recep-
tions, plus rehearsal dinners, bache-
lorette/bachelor parties and showers.

pooled services in New Jersey, he said.
VMEU has several existing solar fields
and an additional 10 MW of generation is
expected to go online in early October,
according to Senior Engineer Gus Foster.
If all the fields and contemplated business
and residential projects develop, the city
could have as much as 49MW of solar
generation, a huge amount for a city its
size. (New Jersey just reached 380 MW of
generation and is second to California
nationwide.)
A lot of stuff is coming in, were very,
very busy, Foster said.
CCIA is using a model already used
successfully by improvement authorities
in northern New Jersey.
Our goal is to pull all these groups
together; to make an attractive pool and
get a developer in here to serve our area
so our agencies get a reduced electric
bill, said DeMatte.
The developer selectedDeMatte said
a number of large national firms are being
interviewedwill design and build the
sites, with financing from the Authority.
The developer gets all the tax credits and
other benefits, which is no loss because
public agencies dont pay taxes. The agen-
cies served will pay nothing for construc-
tion and will save money because their
power purchase agreements (PPA) with
the developer will be for amounts lower
than market rate.
Its a win-win, said DeMatte. CCIA
can get lower cost financing because of our
bonding power; so the developer gets a
favorable rate and so can offer a better
PPA. The towns, school boards and college
get cheaper energy. Nothing is guaranteed,
but we anticipate significant savings.
He estimated the average site will have
25 percent of its energy needs generated
by solar. He also noted all the solar panels
for the project will be manufactured in
the United States.
CCIA has experience in helping to
build clean energy installationsit sup-
plied the financing for the $60 million
VMEU gas turbine currently under con-
struction in the city.
There are 24 commercial/industrial
sites in Vineland that produce their own
solar power, with 45 additional ones
expected in the next six months, accord-
ing to Foster.
A leading southern New Jersey general
contracting firm, Stanker & Galetto, Inc.,
is one of them. It not only subcontracts
solar power systems for its clients, but has
had its own for two years. It cost
$700,000, is rated at 85 kilowatts (kW),
and supplies 99 percent of the companys
power needs. (A kW is 1,000 watts.) The
firm has already recouped 89 percent of

the cost of the construction.
As a company dedicated to green con-
struction, we feel its important to invest
[this way] and to encourage others to do
the same, said Peter Galetto, Jr., company
president.
The Stanker system was built by Ray
Angelini, Inc. of Sewell, which also built
installations at Dun-Rite Sand and Gravel
Co. and Rossi Honda in Vineland, St.
Augustine Preparatory School in
Richland, and Espoma Co. in Millville.
The Dun-Rite site, at 1.6 MW, is the
largest commercial array in the county
followed closely by Russo Farms/RFC
Container Corporation, also of Vineland,
rated at 1.5 MW.
A locally based solar array builder is
Vinelands Laury Services. It is just getting
rolling on this aspect of its work, which
compliments its heating and cooling busi-
ness, established in 1945.
I think the future is terrific, especially
with energy prices going up the way they
are, said owner Ben Laury. He explained
his firm is proceeding slowly to make
sure everything is being done the right
way, then well go all-out.
He is another proponent of solar for
others who has it himself. His home sys-
tem is several years old and his office sys-
tem was turned on September 12.
The Ellison School of Vineland put up
a 100 kW system in May and, like the
energy it produces, it was free. Palmieri
Solar Solutions, in conjunction with
Palmieri Electric of Buena provided the
service.
Ray Palmieri is a very generous man,
hes been part of the Ellison family for
years; three of his grandchildren attend,
said Mary Jane Kinkade, the schools
director of marketing and development.
Hes involved in a lot of civic activities.
Included with Ellisons system is a
series of educational presentations about
the options and benefits of solar power
that students will use as they watch a
screen of readouts on the energy the pan-
els are producing.
Its another way for us to enhance
kids education, Kinkade said

tainment on his screens, and he now runs

his two 4,000-watt projector bulbs, and
the rest of his Delsea Drive-In, with solar
power. His system was switched on July
23, the seventh anniversary of the re-
opening of the Vineland landmark.
I believe we are the first drive-in in
the nation to go solar, although I know of
one with a windmill, he said. It looked
like the best next step: What can you do
with a parcel of land like this in the day-
time?
The drive-in system is 50 kW.
DeLeonardis doesnt have solar at home
yet, but may soon. If you have
teenagers, the economics say yes, they use
electricity all the time, he said.
While many proponents have gone
solar partly for environmental reasons, it
is economics that drives the solar
machine. Saving money on energy costs,
tax incentives, and the market for Solar
Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) com-
bine to make solar installation realistic
and profitable, at least for now.
SRECs are bonuses given to solar pro-
ducers who can then sell them to utility
companies on the open market. Utilities
need SRECs to meet state standards for
renewable energy output. A solar produc-
er earns about one SREC per year for
every kW of capacity.)
With energy costs going up, the savings
of generating ones own power is a stable
factor in solar development.
We are nearly fully offsetting the
energy needs of our office, said Dave
Hanrahan, president and CEO of Capital
Bank of Vineland, which installed a 47 kW
array in May and was the first bank in
town to go solar.
We were out front in financing it for
our customers and we decided if it was
good enough for them, it was good enough
for us, he said. It makes economic sense;
well save on our electric bill as far as the
eye can see. Environmentally and socially
we think its the right thing to do.
Steve Tramontana, who put a solar sys-
tem on top of a custom-built pole barn
behind his Cornucopia Avenue home
three years ago, said, As long as the suns
up, Im making money; my electric bill is
$4.50 a month. (Thats a VMEU service
charge). His system is about standard for a
homeit cost $75,000 (about $40,000
out-of-pocket after credits and rebates)
and is rated at 10kW.
There is a 30 percent federal income
tax credit available to homeowners who
install solar. Until last year, there was also
a sizable rebate offered by New Jersey
Clean Energy, but that is gone. Theres no
sales tax on solar projects and homes cant
be assessed higher property taxes for solar
energy improvements.
Businesses get the same 30 percent in
an investment tax credit (they actually
receive a government check). This benefit
is set to expire at the end of this year,
however, and may not be renewed as it
was at the end of 2010. This clouds busi-
ness decisions to establish solar systems.
Businesses also get accelerated deprecia-
tion benefits.
It is the SREC market, though, that
threatens solar production the most eco-
nomically. Earlier this year, an SREC was
selling for more than $600. Now, its $180.
The price fell so sharply because New
Jersey lowered the requirement for
renewable energy production by utilities,
lowering their demand for SRECs. It also
fell because there is now so much more
solar generation, creating a bigger supply
of the units.
There is state legislation proposed to
set a floor on the price of SRECs at about
$250, according to observers.
[The market] crashed just about the
day I turned on my system, said Tom
Merighi, owner of the Savoy Inn. It was
quite a disappointment. The Savoy sys-
tem, which came online in July after
Merighi spent more than two years inten-
sively researching it, cost $500,000 and
has an output of 100 kW. Notably, Merighi
was the only person we spoke to who list-
ed concern for the environment as his
first priority in building a solar system; he
said his customers will appreciate that.

Its as risky as any other part of my
business, he said.
Don Ayers, Millvilles Economic
Development director, said of his city,
With whats happening with SRECs, peo-
ple are taking a second look. With that
and the transmission problem, were not
moving forward on any scale beyond the
talking stage.
Foster said, The price of utility credits
like SRECs is going down so fast national-
ly that its killing [solar].
Any power above the immediate needs
of the producer must be transmitted into
the electrical grid system because all elec-
tricity has to be used at the instant it is
created. Therein lies a serious technical
problem that is inhibiting the growth of
solar.
CCIAs DeMatte explained that many
sites that applied to be in the solar power
pool couldnt be accommodated because
of transmission difficultiesthis was
especially true in Bridgeton and western
Cumberland County, served by Atlantic
City Electric, he said.
VMEU imposed size
limitation on some pro-
posed sites in Vineland.
Were far from
reaching maximum
capacity for adding
additional solar sys-
tems, said Atlantic
City Electric Senior
Media Representative
Sandra May. Certain
connectivity points
have reached current
penetration. We are
evaluating options to
increase our ability to
absorb the impact of solar where con-
straints exist in the system.
Electrical grids were laid out assuming
just a few sources of power and werent
designed for electricity being inserted at
points along the transmission lines. It will
take a lot of time and money to accommo-
date this situation, according to VMEU
head Joe Isabella and Foster.
Solar is not without its technical prob-
lems, systems are designed for central
generation, Foster pointed out. This
type of problem has not been manifested
before.
The showers could make the going wet,
but the sun could dry it up and solar
development may continue, perhaps even
at its rapid pace. I

Boardwalk Empire is about to begin its second season
on HBO, blending regional history with drama.
W
ith Boardwalk Empire well
represented at the recent
Emmy Awards and its sec-
ond season gearing up on
HBO, its time for another look at the shows
references to New Jersey history.
Set in Atlantic City at the start of
Prohibition, the fictional series is centered
around the exploits of Nucky Thompson,
loosely based on the powerful figure of
Nucky Johnson who reigned as political boss
of the resort town in the early half of the
20th century. Both the real and the fictional-
ized Nucky won over audiences last year
when the series premiered, plunging the city
into a craze of Nuckymania.
But this would be nothing out of the ordi-
nary for the flesh and blood version of the
Boss of the Boardwalk who died in 1968.
His tenure as overseer of the town brought
the seaside resort to its peak of popularity by
openly defying the 18th Amendment pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor.
Beginning in 1920, when other cities wit-
nessed the inundation of illegal speakeasies
to provide what the government decreed off-
limits, Atlantic City thrived on a steady flow
of tourists aware that this location was
immune from the laws and consequences
that made the country as dry as Vineland.
But in order to accomplish this, Nucky
established a social network of state politi-
cians and law enforcement officials who saw
to it that Atlantic City remained untouched.
Some of those individuals are portrayed in
recurring roles under their real names in
Boardwalk Empire, and one particular char-
acter, Walter Evans Edge, was in real life the
governor of the state of New Jersey and a
friend of Nuckys.
According to online sources, Edge was
born in Philadelphia in 1873 and spent his
first four years there before becoming a resi-
dent of southern NewJersey when his family
moved to Pleasantville. He developed a good
business sense early on and took an interest in
local politics as well. His involvement with
the sole Atlantic City newspaper at the time,
The Atlantic Review, provided himexperience
in the field and connections in the business
world. He established the Atlantic City Daily
Press, a newspaper that, despite several name
changes since its 1895 inception, is still in
existence today as The Press of Atlantic City.
Edge used his publication to promote his
run for state senator in the Republican pri-
maries. Online sources report that his first
effort in politics would prove to be the only
election loss he experienced. With Nucky
Johnson running his 1916 gubernatorial cam-
paign, Edge secured the primaries with some
support fromthe head of the Hudson County
Democratic machine, Frank Hague (another
of Boardwalk Empires recurring characters),
and eventually the governorship in the midst
of WoodrowWilsons Progressive Era. He
then ran successfully for U.S. Senate in 1918
and served until 1929.
Unlike his Boardwalk Empire character,
the real Edge fought for a 10-hour workday
for women. He also supported the incorpora-
tion of safety measures in factories and
issued legislation to provide workers com-
pensation in New Jersey.
Edge followed his Senate years as
Ambassador to France from 1929 until 1933.
In 1944, he entered New Jersey politics once
again and was elected to his old position of
governor, serving until 1947.
Today he joins the ranks of other Atlantic
City-related officials, like former Mayor
Edward Bader, honored by a facility or enter-
prise named after them. The former gover-
nor has a building named after him on the
campus of Atlantic Cape Community College.
But besides the Atlantic City newspaper he
created, there are two significant structures
built during his first run as New Jersey gov-
ernor that, while not usually attributed to
Edge, are the result of his administration and
approval. One is the Benjamin Franklin
Bridge and the other is the Holland Tunnel,
gateways to Philadelphia and New York City,
respectively.
Its doubtful Boardwalk Empire will incor-
porate these details into the characters dis-
tasteful television image, and if its success
allows it to examine more of the 1920s, Edge
will probably soon disappear, the real-life fig-
ure falling out with the real Nucky over polit-
ical differences. But Edges inclusion so far is
another example of how the series incorpo-
rates New Jersey history, but skews it for its
own purposes. I

S
ince I was a little kid, I was always
fascinated by politics, and although
it must have seemed odd to my
mom and dad to have a child who
enjoyed watching election returns, they
tended to encourage me in it. When I was
about six years old, I remember they had
bought me a set of figures of all the
Presidents and in no time I was able to set
them up in order and recite the years they
served in office. Perhaps that was foreshad-
owing of the proud nerd I am today.
That love of politics stayed with me as
I eventually earned a Bachelor of Arts
degree in Political Science, and I even
enjoyed it as a career for a number of
years, having worked in various positions
for elected officials at the state and federal
levels of government. In fact, I learned a
lot of great life lessons while working in
politicsone of which, in particular, I am
reminded of each day.
Back in the mid-1990s, I was serving as
Chief of Staff for then-State Senator Jim
Cafiero. Most long-time followers of south-
ern New Jersey politics know Senator
Cafiero, whose district included Vineland,
as a warm, funny gentleman who had been
in the arena for many years.
It so happened that the Senator had
been working for several months on pass-
ing a bill that would have made it a crime
to disarm (or even attempt to disarm) a
law enforcement or corrections officer. So
significant was the legislation that, when
it was eventually passed and signed, it
made New Jersey the first state in the
nation to have such a statute. And it was
right after the bill was signed that I
learned a valuable lesson.
I went into the office one morning and
learned, by way of a newspaper article,
that the Governor had signed the bill a
few days earlier. Was I ever mad! Why
didnt the Governor, who was of the same
political party as the Senator, give us the
courtesy of a phone call to tell us she
would be signing the bill so we could let
our constituents know in advance? To me,
it seemed we did all the work over a num-
ber of months only to be cut out of the
process at the very end.
I took the newspaper down to the
Senators office and asked him to read it.
He looked it over, handed it back and said,
Okay, what about it? I was incredulous.
I reminded him that this great bill that the
Governor signed was his bill and he was
getting virtually none of the credit for it.
As I mentioned earlier, the Senators
words on the matter stay with me even
today: Todd, I learned a long time ago
that theres no limit to the good a person
can do as long as he doesnt care who gets
the credit. We know we did the work. Its
a good law thats going to protect a lot of
people and thats the important thing.
Now get back to work and forget about it.
In my job as Executive Director of Main
Street Vineland, I often have people thank
me for how nice the downtown looks or for
organizing special events or for being an
advocate for Landis Avenue or for count-
less other things. While the thanks are
truly appreciated, I tell people that the real
thanks go to our volunteers who carry out
so much of the work that gets done. I point
out that I view myself merely as the face of
all the good things being done in the down-
town and, as such, I accept their thanks on
behalf of all those who are doing so much
of the heavy lifting.
Thank you, Senator Cafiero, for teach-
ing me an important lesson about life.
