Area Farms Spill Over

With Summers Bounty


T
here is a lot about southern New Jersey
that distinguishes itself from the rest of the
state, particularly the industrial northeast.
The city of Vineland, with its litany of proud dis-
tinctions is a perfect example. Vinelanders take
pride in a lot of things, like the fact that at 68.3
square miles, Vineland is the largest city in area, in
the state of New Jersey. Were just as proud of
Susan B. Anthony's 1868 address on the issue of
women's suffrage taking place at a meeting house
located downtown on Plum Street. And just about
everyone knows that Welch's Grape Juice
Company had its origin in Vineland and that the
Guinness Book of World Records documents that
the largest egg ever laid came from a poultry farm
in Vineland, New Jersey. Yes indeed, there really is
a lot we Vinelanders have to be proud of.

he Board of Trustees of Appel Farm Arts &
Music Center announced last week that the
Salem County non-profit will no longer be
running the Landis Theater in Vineland after its
annual contract with the Landis Theater Foundation
expires on September 30. The remaining concerts
and activities currently booked at the theater
through the end of September will still take place,
and Appel Farm at the Landis staff will continue to
work in the theater on a daily basis until then.
We are in a difficult position, stated Appel Farm
Executive Director Dr. Loren Thomas. We havent
received any payment for the 18 months of work that
our staff has put in, and promised funding has not
materialized from various sources. No non-profit
performing arts center survives on ticket sales alone
and without support we cant continue to pay staff
and operate the theater. The theater still has great
potential to serve audiences in the region, and we
are sorry we wont be able to continue our work
there. We are disappointed that we must leave the
beautiful Landis Theater, but prudent financial prac-
tices leave us with little choice.
In a statement released by Vineland City Hall,
Mayor Ruben Bermudez said, We are sorry to see
Appel Farm go. However, their proposal for grant-
funding in the amount of $225,000 as a condition for
renewing their contract with the Landis Theater
Foundation Board was not acceptable. With this in
CONNECTI NG YOU TO SOUTH JERSEY. WEEKLY.
A year after taking over operations of
the Landis Theater, Appel Farm cuts
losses, ends managment contract.

Fire Damages Bridgeton Main
Street Office
A fire that destroyed parts of the second
floor of the Bank of America building in the
heart of downtown Bridgeton last week,
including the offices of the Bridgeton Main
Street Association (BMSA), has left the
spirit of this stalwart downtown redevelop-
ment organization and its many business-
boosting campaigns and festival events in
this city fully intact, says Carola Hartley,
BMSA executive director.
The organization has vowed to carry on
with its extensive calendar of programming
for the remainder of the year.
But she ticked off a long list of events
potentially affected by the setback, and said
that only active work on a daily basis can
solicit the volunteer support, advertising
and community contributions these events
must generate to be successful.
Atop the long list is the upcoming
Cohansey Riverfest/Bridgeton CrabFest on
August 24. That's less than a month away,
she said. Then there's the Bridgeton
Legends program, a celebration of those
heroes whove made lifelong contributions
to the city and region, coming October 5.
And on top of this agenda we had just
started a new venturea board game called
Bridgetonopoly. The game is based on the
classic Monopoly but features local instead
of Atlantic City sites on the board.
The fire hit us with just a few more
spots to sell, she said.
After that come the traditional Holiday
Parade (December 1) and House Tour
(December 7). Hartley seems unfazed by
the long list, but she admits the organiza-
tion now needs all the help it can get from
businesses, donors and volunteers as they
go forward in borrowed quarters.
Authorities are still investigating the ori-
gin of the fire. Damage was significant,
with paper records and furniture destroyed
and much electronic equipment trans-
formed into mounds of charred plastic.
Hartley and other members of the Main
Street Board expressed relief that no one
was in the office at the time of the blaze.
Weve suffered some sad losses of pre-
cious personal things, she said. Although
her own office had the most damage, spe-
cialist crews were able to rescue the hard
drive fromBMSAs main computer, so that
already finished work could still go forward.
Thanks to cooperation from the phone
company, she said, the BMSA number to
call is still the same: 856-453-8130.
If you can help, please call, Hartley
added. We desperately need volunteers for
everything thats coming up. If you can
help, however little, dont wait, please call
as soon as possible.

Ys Oldest Member
Turns 102
Members, friends, staff, and young
campers all turned out on August 2 to
celebrate the birthday of longtime
YMCA of Vineland member Ted Krause.
Krause turned 102, and he shared part
of his afternoon with some of his many
admirers at the YMCA. The Y lobby
was decorated with a large banner
made by kids from Camp Hiawatha,
and some of their camping friends
helped sing Happy Birthday to the
guest of honor. Kids also made cup-
cakes to accompany the ice cream
cake that is a standard favorite of
Krause. The celebrant swims at the
YMCA daily, but he took the day off to
spend time with friends and family.
Kids who shared in the Ys birthday party
for Mr. Krause react to him blowing out
candles on the ice cream cake. The chil-
dren are part of the Ys summer camp
program.

fashion show. Each teen that partici-
pated received a complimentary pair of
Old Navy flip-flops. The field trip was
part of the Club's CareerLaunch

Robin Hope Designs
Beautiful Hand-Crafted Gifts by Local Artists
opened Robin Hope Designs, in the
upper level of Landis MarketPlace, 631 E.
Landis Ave., in January 2012 to sell ne
hand-made gis by area artistsfrom candles and
aprons to paintings and more.
While recovering from surgery and treatment for
uterine cancer, I worked with a vendor who had a
oral shop in the market, that's where I got started
making oral arrangements and giware. I started
my own business as a temporary day-table at the
market and as the business grew, I started showing
work of other artists. Never in a million years did I
ever think that, at age 60, I would open my own shop
where I made one-of-a-kind centerpieces and sold
gi items from other talented artists from
throughout the area.
For more information, please come in Wednesday
through Saturday, or we can be reached at (862)

Tomato and Wine Festival Announcement
e Tomato and Wine Festival, originally scheduled
for Saturday, August 10, on the 600 block of Landis
Avenue, has been recongured, canceling the events
for that day and revamping the homemade wine
contest.
e professional tasting and judging is going on as
scheduled and the winners will be announced in the
media when that process is concluded (professional
judging event is not open to the public).
e Peoples Choice Homemade Wine tasting and
balloting will be held at a future event.
When word got out about the expanded
homemade wine-tasting contest, entries came at a
rapid pace from across the country, said Main Street
Vineland Executive Director Todd Noon. We have
entries from as far away as New Mexico. We've seen a
high level of interest and we are thinking about
organizing a Wine Festival for next year.
Due to the cancellation of the Tomato Festival
Main Street is looking to expand the November
Holiday Parade sponosored by Susquehanna Bank.
e plan is to add activities at the end of the parade to
make it a full evening of holiday fun.

Vineland Natives Among Eagles Cheerleaders
Who Supported Sandy Relief in Atlantic City
The Eagles cheerleaders held a
beach competition with emergency
responders on Wednesday, July 24. The
event was free and open to the public,
taking place on the beach in front of
The Chelsea in Atlantic City.
The cheerleaders sported their
Eagles bikinis and competed with emer-
gency responders in a variety of beach
games, including Flag Football, Beach
Volleyball, and an Obstacle Course. The
Emergency Responders team featured
NJ State Troopers from nine different
stations, as well as firefighters from
Atlantic City, all of which were involved
in the response to Hurricane Sandy.
The Eagles Cheerleaders created this
interactive event as a way to personally
thank them for their heroism.
That night, the cheerleaders held the
2013 Philadelphia Eagle Cheerleaders
Fashion Show and calendar cover unveiling party on the fifth floor of the Chelsea
Hotel. The calendar became available for purchase after the show. It can be
found in Eagles Pro Shops and various bookstores nationwide. All net proceeds
of the calendar will be donated to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund.

S
ometimes, and despite our planning,
our events take a different turn from
the way we anticipate. That is why
we post the disclaimer with our
press releases that all Main Street Vineland
events are subject to change without notice.
Such is the case with our Tomato and
Wine Festival. The event was to take place
on Saturday, August 10 in the 600 block of
Landis Avenue, with local eateries selling
tomato-related dishes, kiddie activities, live
music, a Little Miss & Mister Cherry
Tomato Baby Pageant Parade, and a home-
made wine-tasting contest.
The response to the homemade wine-tast-
ing contest has been incrediblefar ahead of
the other components of the event, including
the tomato portion of the festival, with
entries from as far away as New Mexico.
As a result, we have had to change plans
by cancelling the festival.
The good news, though, is that the home-
made wine contest will still take place. The
professional tasting and judging will take
place privately this week with the winners
announced in this newspaper and others. The
Peoples Choice tasting and voting, where
the public will have a chance to vote and
give input, will be tied into a future event.
Based on the response we have received for
this, we have already begun talking about
organizing a Wine Festival for next year.
The other good news is that to help
make up for the cancellation of this festival,
our Promotions Committee has also been
working to build on the Holiday Parade
coming up on November 30. Since the
parade begins at 5 p.m. and ends about two
hours later, it will still be early enough to
keep festivities rolling for a while. So we are
putting our energies into coming up with
some exciting ways to keep the downtown
buzzing with holiday fun for the rest of the
evening. You will be reading more about
these plans in future columns.
While we never like to cancel special
events, we must be wise stewards of the
funds used to bring events to the down-
town. In light of this, it only made sense to
cancel this festival and concentrate instead
on making an existing event even better.
***
I want to thank all those who helped to
make some recent exciting downtown events
successful. This includes the visit by Fox 29
for the Jenny On Your Block segment of
Good Day Philadelphia and the Downtown
Sidewalk Sale. For the Fox 29 visit, a lot of
elements came together very quickly with
the help of some dedicated peopleand the
success of the new Amish Family Restaurant,
which opened that day in Landis MarketPlace,
is a lasting reminder of that great day.
The Downtown Sidewalk Sale would not
have been possible without the work of
Promotions Committee Chairperson Brian
Lankin, owner of Als Shoes, and a group of
dedicated volunteers. It especially would
not be possible without the cooperation and
participation of the merchants who saw the
value in this downtown retail tradition.
Again, thank you all! I

R
ay Steineder was Vinelands first
major league baseball player,
and shortly after his retirement
from professional ball he
pitched for Millville in a game against
Vineland. The famed right-hander found
himself in a duel with a 16-year-old hurler
who earned a shutout that day when his
team squeezed out a run in the 13th inning.
The teenagers name was Dick Errickson,
and, in a matter of years, he would become
the towns second resident to play multiple
seasons in the major leagues.
Errickson, the second of nine children,
pitched for Vineland High School in his
freshman and sophomore years in the
shadow of local ace Nello Dallolio. When
his mother died in 1927, he quit school to
help support his family. With the onset of
the Great Depression, he left Vineland to
work as a mechanic for $25 a week in
Worcester, Massachusetts, where his
brother was in charge of a bakerys fleet of
trucks. He spent his time playing semi-pro
ball in order to earn some extra cash.
In 1936, he was approached by a scout
who offered Errickson a tryout with the
Boston Braves. According to a 1961 inter-
view with the Vineland Times Journal, the
right-hander pitched a batting practice
and was signed, haggling his way to $225 a
month, an increase of $25 over the origi-
nal offer. The stipulation was that he had
to be pitching for what would be compa-
rable to a Double-A team or better to earn
the sum. The decision to give up a steady
job for an uncertain future in the minors
was a daring move in the midst of the
Depression, but as Errickson told the
Times Journals Tom Flynn, you got to
find out whether you got it.
After four weeks in spring training, he
was assigned to a Georgia Double-A team
and graduated to Triple-A in Scranton,
Pennsylvania by opening day. His nine
wins and an ERA of just less than 2.00
meant that he had secured his spot in
Boston by September and he debuted in
the pros April 27, 1938. According to a 1993
interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer,
he was one of the teams two relievers for
the next several seasons.
Unlike their current incarnation in
Atlanta, the Braves of the late 1930s were
a basement team. Manager Casey Stengel,
who would later enjoy World Series
championships with the Yankees, credited
Ericksons success on the mound with
determining
his fate in the
Braves organi-
zation. Several
decades later,
Stengel
encountered
the Vinelander
at a Baltimore
baseball meet-
ing and in
front of a
group of
reporters,
announced,
Boys I want
you to meet
the guy who
saved my job
back in 1939.
Errickson had a 12-13 record with a 3.16
ERA in 1940. Even after an arm injury
temporarily sidelined him the following
season, he still pitched in 38 games. But by
June 1942 he was traded to the Chicago
Cubs who in turn dealt him to a Brooklyn
Dodgers minor league team, to which he
wouldnt report until after World War II.
He pitched his last major league game on
September 13, 1942.
With two of his brothers in the mili-
tary, the hurler joined his wife and chil-
dren in Vineland to care for his blind
father. Errickson returned for one more
season as a minor-league player and then
hung up his cap to be with his family in
his hometown. Except for a year as man-
ager of a Nazareth, Pennsylvania team, he
settled back into Vineland until his death
in 1999.
Errickson worked as a mechanic for the
city until the mid-1970s when he retired
and took up playing golf four times a week.
He still maintained that schedule in 1993
when he was inducted into the South
Jersey Baseball Hall of Fame. His humble-
ness, a quality that sets him apart from
many players throughout the history of the
game, extended even to this South Jersey
honor. He told the voters they should give
the award to someone younger.
The same perspective applied when
summing up his major league achieve-
ments. You have to be a little lucky to be
able to do something when your time
comes, he told the Inquirer. Im tickled
to death that I played. Im just a Vineland
farm boy. I {

New Ordinance Prohibits
Parking Next to Courthouse
A new security plan for the perimeter of
the Cumberland County Courthouse will
eliminate approximately 26 public parking
spaces on both sides of Fayette Street
beginning on or about August 20.
The ordinance, passed by the Board of
Chosen Freeholders came as a result of a
periodic security study conducted by the
U.S. Marshals Service, which recommend-
ed the no parking zone along the Fayette
Street side of the courthouse.
The zone begins at the intersection of
Fayette and Broad streets and runs south
toward Vine Street. No vehicles will be per-
mitted to park on the courthouse (east)
side of the street. On the west side opposite
the courthouse, only marked law enforce-
ment vehicles will be permitted.
Signs communicating the new parking
restrictions will be going up prior to August
20. Once enforcement begins, violators will
be subject to towing and fines.
County officials hope residents and oth-
ers who normally park on that stretch of
Fayette street will take advantage of the new
300-space parking deck behind the new
Prosecutors Office on Vine Street or the 75-
space parking lot at 99 West Broad Street.
South Jersey Gas: Call 811
Before Digging
With August 11 almost here, South
Jersey Gas hopes this date on the calendar,
8/11, will serve as a reminder for residents
to call 811 prior to any digging project to
have underground utility lines marked.
Every eight minutes an underground utility
line is damaged because someone decided
to dig without first calling 811.
When calling 811, homeowners are con-
nected to New Jersey One Call, the local
one-call center, which notifies the appro-
priate utility companies of their intent to
dig. Professional locators are then sent to
the requested digging site to mark the
approximate locations of underground
News in Brief
I
lines with flags or spray paint.
Striking a single line can cause injury,
repair costs, fines and inconvenient out-
ages. Every digging project, no matter how
large or small, warrants a call to 811.
Installing a mailbox, building a deck, plant-
ing a tree and laying a patio are all exam-
ples of digging projects that need a call to
811 before starting.
The depth of utility lines can vary for a
number of reasons, such as erosion, previ-
ous digging projects and uneven surfaces.
Utility lines need to be properly marked
because even when digging only a few
inches, the risk of striking an underground
utility line still exists.
Visit www.call811.com or www.southjer-
seygas.com for more information about 811
and safe digging practices.
United Way and Partners Return
$35 Million to Local Taxpayers
United Way of Greater Philadelphia and
Southern New Jersey (UWGPSNJ), along
with volunteers, the IRS, and dozens of
community partners, returned $35 million
to local taxpayers during this years tax sea-
son. Through the Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance Program (VITA), IRS-trained
volunteers helped prepare 26,000 tax
returns for free for individuals with a
household income of less than $51,000.
The program is supported in local commu-
nities in eight counties by UWGPSNJ.
Taxpayers are many times unaware of
the important credits they are eligible for,
leaving valuable dollars on the table. In
fact, the IRS estimates that one in five tax-
payers does not claim one of the biggest
boosters to family incomesthe Earned
Income Tax Credit (EITC), a refundable
credit that can return up to $5,891 per qual-
ifying familysimply because they are
unaware or do not file their taxes.
Of the $35 million returned to local tax-
payers, more than $11 million stemmed
from EITC refunds alone. In addition, indi-
vidual filers saved an estimated $200 per
return by utilizing the VITA program.
VITA sites in Atlantic, Burlington,
Camden, Cape May, Cumberland,
Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia
Counties are supported by UWGPSNJ and
operated by local community partners.

mind, I believe the citys offer
of a low interest loan was fair
to Appel Farm while still pro-
tecting the taxpayers of
Vineland.
Appel Farm was in com-
munication with Vineland
Mayor Ruben Bermudez in
July, when they requested the
$225,000 in funding over a
three-year period to cover
expenses.
I do thank everyone at
Appel Farm for their efforts,
an out-of-town, vacationing
Bermudez statement read.
They are greatly appreciat-
ed. As we move forward, my
hope now is to continue our
discussions with the
Foundation Board regarding ideas to
achieve their goal of making the Landis
Theater the cultural and civic destination
first envisioned, while keeping in mind
the challenging economic conditions the
city is still operating within.
The management agreement between
Appel Farm and the Landis Theater
Foundation was inked in April 2012 and
the Appel Farm staff began working on
booking and marketing performances for
the 2012-13 season. In July 2012 several
staff members began to work at the the-
ater to continue operations as the man-
agement began its transition. A full sea-
son of concerts and entertainment
brought in audiences from throughout
the region. Appel Farm also hosted many
community events at the theater includ-
ing a community day in October, the
Vineland Education Association, the
Greater Vineland Chamber of Commerce,
Miss Vineland competition, the South
Jersey Cultural Alliance Encore Awards,
the Vineland Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals and more.
We wish to thank the people of
Vineland, said Dr. Thomas, especially
the amazing Landis Theater volunteers,
for the welcome and support we received
during our tenure at the theater. The ded-
ication and affection for the theater was
palpable, and we will certainly miss the
wonderful people we have come to
know.
I think some people want to see the
Landis successful and want it to thrive
but there doesnt seem to be a sense of
community cohesion around that goal,
unlike what appears to be the case in
Millville, Thomas told South Jersey
Times last week.
He refers to the Levoy Theatre in
Millville, which celebrates its first year
anniversary on September 22.
It is now time for us to re-focus our
energies and resources on our core mis-
sion of arts education through camp, our
work with schools, and our outreach
activities, Thomas added.
According to Thomas, Millville gives
its theater the support it needs to survive
long enough to get grants and other con-
tributed income.
Hans Lampart, master tenant and
developer for the Landis Theater, echoed
Thomas statements about the need for
contributed income.
Lampart worked with the city when
the theater was reopened in 2010.
As master tenant, it is Lamparts con-
cern that operating expenses and rent
gets paid. According to him, the Landis
Theater Foundation must find $12,000 to
$15,000 a month to keep the theater open.

Give Summer-Stressed Plants
a Helping Hand
Dont let summer stressors ruin your
landscapes good looks. Instead give your
plants natural defenses a boost and keep
both vegetable gardens producing and
flowers blooming.
Busy summer schedules can lead to
plant neglect and less-than-picture-per-
fect gardens. When you team this with
summer heat and drought that can lead to
wilting, brown leaves, and poor growth,
and add insects and diseases that can fur-
ther weaken and damage plants, gardens
can really suffer.
An exciting new organic tool for gar-
deners is now available to help. Plant
strengtheners, like JAZ sprays, help boost
plants natural defenses so they are better
able to deal with environmental stress,
neglect, as well as insects and disease
attacks.
Scientists found that when plants expe-
rienced stress from drought, temperature
extremes, insects or diseases, they pro-
duced certain molecules that activated
their natural defenses. They isolated these
molecules, applied them to other plants,
and found that the treated plants were
better able to tolerate stress.
Plant strengtheners contain such mole-
cules that increase natural defenses in
plants. One such family of molecules is the
jasmonates, originally identified in the jas-
mine plant, that increases hundreds of
natural defense molecules in treated
plants. Some of the natural defenses make
the plants more resistant to pathogens and
others help reduce damage from drought,
heat and salt.
While proper care can help increase a
plants natural defenses, plant strengthen-
ers give them an extra boost to help plants
thrive even during periods of environmen-
tal stress. These organic products act like
vitamins or immunizations, helping plants
deal with extreme and often unpredictable
weather, pest, and disease challenges.
You can even keep healthy plants per-
forming their best by proactively using a
plant strengthener. By doing so, youll
boost a plants immune system before
environmental stresses hit and ultimately
help it thrive as it faces serious challenges
throughout the remainder of the season.
Its a great way to protect plants before
they become threatened.
Make sure to give your plants proper
care throughout their lifetime. Water
thoroughly and as needed. Then mulch
the soil surrounding your plants with
shredded leaves, evergreen needles, or
other organic materials. These conserve
moisture, keep roots cool and moist, sup-
press weeds, and improve the soil as they
break down.
And, if your plants experience the same
problems each year, it is time to make a
change. Move stressed plants to more suit-
able growing conditions. Match the plant
to the light, soil, and moisture it prefers.
Replace diseased plants with resistant
varieties and provide proper care.
By taking these steps and investing a
bit of time and energy youll be sure to
create a beautiful, healthy and productive
landscape. I

Not mentioned in that list of what were
known forand yet something that people
travel distances foris Vineland's seasonal
produce. Throughout the summer, the hunt
is on for sweet Jersey corn; meaty plum
tomatoes and plump Big Boys; crisp kale
and big, juicy melons. Lucky for us, it is only
a matter of a walk, a bike ride or a short
drive in the family car to purchase fruits and
vegetables that earlier in the day were still
covered in morning dew. That is what were
talking about when we say Jersey Fresh.
Based on statistics from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, New Jersey is
home to more than 10,300 farms with New
Jerseys farm industry worth about $1 bil-
lion annually. Thats a lot of farms and a lot
of revenue. Many of those farms are locat-
ed right here in Vineland.
Located on those farms are fruit and
vegetable stands nestled amid the very
fields that produce the vegetables and fruits
that line the shelves and fill the baskets.
Almost everything you see [at our farm
stand] comes directly from our fields, states
Rita Muzzarelli, who owns Muzzarelli
Farms with her husband Charlie. The only
exceptions are a few things that we dont
raise here on our farm, such as some of the
organic herbs and greens. They come from
another farm in Vineland. None the less,
its all from Vineland and its undeniably
Vinelands best.
Sitting among 300 acres of fertile farm-
land on Oak Road is Muzzarelli Farms that
was originally established in 1937 by Delmo
Muzzarelli. Back then, the farm was little
more than 20 acres but the soil was fertile
and Delmo had the vision and energy to
turn out a profit growing primarily sweet
potatoes and cucumbers. Even today,
although the variety of crops is too numer-
ous to list, sweet potatoes and cukes
remain a mainstay of the farm.
Delmos son Charlie grew up working
on the farm and eventually took over the
business, expanding it 15 times larger than
the original plot. Running the farm is a
family affair as every Muzzarelli has a
hand at either plowing, planting, picking or
working at the produce stand. The family
members who spend countless hours on
the farm include second-generation
Charlie and wife Rita; third-generation
daughter Deena; their son, Charlie Jr. and
wife Rosalie; and fourth-generation grand-
children Maria, 10; Charlie III, 8; Henry, 6;
and Anthony, 5. And yes, even the little
ones work in some capacity on the farm.
The day I stopped at the farm stand, I
happened upon Rita showing her grand-
son-in-training, Charlie III how to distin-
guish which of the garlic bulbs in her bas-
ket were savers and which were not. And
although they all looked like keepers to me,
Ritas discerning eye was quick to spot the
ones that she was not going to allow to be
sold at the market. The reason? They did
not live up to Muzzarelli standards.
Theres one, she pointed out. And with
that, Charlies little hand reached in and
plucked the inferior garlic bulb from the
basket, ensuring its hasty disposal. That
young man is sure to make a great farmer
some day!
Pointing to tables loaded with fresh
juicy figs, blackberries, cantaloupe and
watermelons, and to baskets overflowing
with ripe, red tomatoes, Rita asserted that
We are proud of what we produce and
were particular about what we offer our
customers. Its important to keep local and
to know where your produce comes from.
When most of us are still in bed at 4:30
a.m., the Muzzarellis, like other area farm
families, are already up and preparing for a
full day of work on the farm, a workday
that will not end until sundown. Seven
days a week from spring through early
autumn, its a routine that most of us likely
could neither handle nor relish. And while
the growing season begins in March,
according to Rita, It never really ends.
Even though the stand is closed by then,
we are open into December selling sweet
potatoes and other cold-stored vegetables
such as winter squash, leeks, turnips and
cabbage.
Making good use of their land even dur-
ing the non-growing autumn season, the
Muzzarelli farm becomes a playground and
learning center for school groups and pri-
vate parties as children and other guests
meander through corn mazes and take
tractor-pulled hayrides around the fields.
And in the spring, school groups are invit-
ed into one of the greenhouses dedicated to
education where children are taught about
seeds and how they germinate. After plant-
ing a few seeds, each child takes home his
own plant to watch it grow and mature.
Farther south in Vineland, at the inter-
section of Sherman Avenue and the
Boulevard is an active produce stand that
sits on the edge of the Malench family
farmland. This is where you can find
Anthony Malench weighing and bagging a
full array of summer produce piled high on
tractor- drawn wagons. For Chris and
Denise Malench and their son Anthony, the
full-on summer growing season is book-
ended by crops like spinach, kale and broc-
coli rabe in the spring and lettuces and
spinach again in the fall.
Anthony is proud to be the fourth gen-
eration of Malench farmers. My grandfa-
ther started this farm in 1930 and began
with chickens, pigs and horses and then

used the land to grow produce.
Grandfather Malench would likely be
proud that his children and grandchildren
followed in his footsteps and even more
proud that his heirs are taking the steward-
ship of the earth seriously. With a love for
the land at heart, the Malenches are proud
that they practice what is known as inte-
grated pest management (IPM). Such a
program encourages natural pest control
methods while emphasizing the growth of
healthy crops with the least possible dis-
ruption to the agro-ecosystem. In the end,
the soil and crops are free of unnecessary
chemical pesticides and the produce is
wholesome and natural.
In addition to the innate benefits of
IPM and the land-to-table freshness of
their produce, the Malenches are also
happy to accept WIC coupons and to offer
a discount to senior citizens.
Before the summer ends and the corn
has turned brown and the tomato plants,
eggplants, and cucumbers have been plowed
under, take advantage of all the goodness
that area farms are now producing. Because
come the cold, dreary days of January and
February, you will wish you had a big, ripe,
Jersey Fresh tomato to sink your teeth into.
May God bless our farmers. I

hen Brian Asselta and George
Forgen bought Giovannis
Authentic Italian Deli, they
had one goal in mind: To offer customers a
great product at an affordable price,
served by a warm and friendly staff that
harkens back to days gone by.
Considering the success their small deli,
located at the corner of Oak Road and
North East Avenue, has had over the 14
years since Asselta and Forgen first bought
it, one could easily draw the conclusion
that theyve accomplished their goal.
The two longtime friends first pur-
chased Giovannis, which was built in 1939
and has seen several owners in its time,
out of a need for change.
Brian and myself were neighbors and
friends. We were both looking for some-
thing to do. We were working jobs in sales
and both felt that we needed change, said
Forgen.
Uncertain of exactly what they could
partner on, the two lifelong Vineland resi-
dents thought back on their formative
years, when they both spent much time
working at various area delis.
I think we both really enjoyed our
time spent working in delis as teenagers
and post-high school, said Forgen.
There was something about that, work-
ing with the customers and getting to
know them, that we both really enjoyed.
Plus we have a love of food, added
Asselta.
That last bitthe love and passion for
foodis what has helped drive the success
of Giovannis over the years.
Living in Vineland and working at delis
has instilled in Forgen and Asselta a sense
of the expectations that people have for
what is considered great deli food.
Weve got a line
of specialty meats
and cheeses, a vari-
ety of homemade
salads, and quality
grocery items that
help set us apart,
said Asselta.
Their menu
offers a plethora of
dining options, no
matter the time of
day. Featuring break-
fast sandwiches,
family dinners that
serve up to six pasta
dishes, and a variety
of cold subs and hot sandwiches, theyre
well-equipped to serve three meals a day.
The quality on all of their offerings,
Asselta and Forgen insist, is top-notch.
They attribute this to a steadfast commit-
ment to consistency in their product.
The consistency of our product is big
for us, said Asselta. Weve used the same
high-quality ingredients since we started,
ensuring that the quality stays the same.
Not even the vendors we purchase from
have changed. Were also hands-on, mak-
ing sure every employee understands the
process through training. If you come in at
8 in the morning or 7 at night, youre
going to get the exact same sandwich.
The employees especially are a big part
of keeping it consistent, added Forgen.
Weve had a lot of people who have been
here for six, seven years. Its a great staff,
and that definitely makes a difference.
The final piece of the puzzle for the co-
owners of Giovannis is customer service.
Not only do Brian and me, but most of
our employees know the customers by
name when they come in, said Forgen.
You dont see a lot of that anymore. We
want to be the old-school, traditional
neighborhood deli. That starts with know-
ing the people in the neighborhood.
I think a lot of people are tired of
walking into a store and not being
acknowledged by the help, said Asselta,
adding to Forgens comments. You walk
in here, youre going to have four people
ask you if you need anything before you
get to the back of the store. It makes peo-
ple feel at home and part of the store.
Its a simple formula theyre incorpo-
rating at Giovannis, but for over a decade
now, it has worked. I

I
n a gesture to add some levity to his
discussion of the Affordable Care Act
and how it will affect employee
health benefits, Vaughan Reale, NJBIA
and Advantage Benefit Planning, provided
each attendee at the June GVCC luncheon
with a small pack of Band-Aids to stop
the bleeding.
Reale was the guest speaker at the
GVCC luncheon held Thursday, June 19, at
Hampton Inn & Suites. He noted that the
bill is some 2,600 pages long and has gen-
erated 15,000 pages of guidelines and reg-
ulations that change daily.
Reale said that already theres been an
increase of 19 million Americans getting
health insurance, so that the new health-
care law has resulted in a reduction of the
number of uninsured, yet there are still 30
million uninsured Americans.
One of the more obvious changes so far
has been a reduction in flexible spending
accounts from a maximum $5,000 to
$2,500. This directly impacts the poor,
Reale noted.
Also, Inspira Health Network
CFO/Executive Vice President John
DiAngelo spoke about the merger of South
Jersey Healthcare and Underwood
Memorial Hospital. He said that the
three-year process was completed last
November, and that the combined facili-

Welcome Message
I hope you are enjoying the summer
months as they are going by quickly. Alot
of people ask me when our down time
is for the chamber. We really dont have
any month in the year that is slow, as we
are always hosting events and planning
ahead. As you can see in this issue, theres
been a lot of activity lately and we have
some terrific programs planned for the fall
and winter months as well. With elections
in November, we will be hosting a
Senatorial Candidate Debate on October
24. If you missed the Social Media
Seminars we offered in July in partnership
with Cumberland County College, we will
most likely be rescheduling some more in
the winter
months.
On November
1, we will host a
First
Responders
Recognition
event at
Merighis Savoy
Inn. Join us to honor all of our local
heroes and be there to say thank you to
our Vineland EMS, Firefighters and Police.
Look for details about the event soon. And
be sure to check our website event calen-
dar frequently so you dont miss anything!
Join us so you can Get Involved, Get
Connected and Come Grow With Us!

CONGRATULATIONS
to These Members:
Susquehanna Bank has granted Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland &
Salem Counties $500, which will help the
agency reach more children. On July 12,
Tracy Renner (Branch Relationship
Manager & Assistant Vice President)
arrived at the local agency along with her
colleague Peggy Ramos to present the
check. This was all made possible by Sarah Gould (Volunteer
Grant Writer for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland & Salem
Counties). Sarah created a grant proposal which was submitted
to Susquehanna and shortly after, the agency received a phone
call from the local bank expressing excitement to grant the funds.
Tracy immediately grew a connection with the agency's mission
and also decided to donate her time by offering free workshops
for the matches enrolled with Big Brothers Big Sisters. The work-
shops will consist of sessions educating matches on credit cards,
debit cards, the significance of credit and checking/savings
accounts. Big Brothers Big Sisters would like to thank Tracy
Renner and Susquehanna Bank for their
generosity and support.
If you are interested in becoming a vol-
unteer and making a positive impact on a
child's life, Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Cumberland & Salem Counties will host a
Little Moments Session on Wednesday,
August 7, 2013 from 12:15pm to 1:15pm at
their office on 1944 East Landis Avenue in
Vineland. The session is an informal one-
hour luncheon designed to educate the
community about the work that is done at Big Brothers Big
Sisters. Lunch will be provided by Larrys II Restaurant. Each ses-
sion features testimonials from current volunteers and a behind-
the-scenes tour to meet the professional staff members. There is
something for everyone at Big Brothers Big Sisters! For more
information, RSVP with Cherell Eutzy at 856-692-0916.

Minimum Wage Ballot
Initiative is Worth Defeating
As you know, from previous commu-
nications, the GVCC is opposed to rais-
ing the states minimum wage to $8.25
all at one time, and strongly opposed to
raising it automatically with inflation in
the future. This initiative also alters the
state constitution which we also oppose.
The New Jersey State Chamber and
Employment Policies Institute are jointly
waging a campaign to beat this ballot
initiative. We are passing along this
communication to you if you are inter-
ested in supporting their efforts:
FROM THE NJ STATE CHAMBER:
This minimum wage ballot initiative
is beatableand the effort to defeat it is
worth your support.
Our analysis of voter turnout data
shows that even if voter turnout match-
es 2009 levels, this initiative can be
defeated just by convincing more con-
servatives and conservative-leaning
independent voters to oppose it.
This summer, a non-profit research
group is running an educational cam-
paign in the state that talks about the
unintended consequences of a higher min-
imum wage. Its essential that we build on
this outside effort to run a campaign tar-
LEGISLATIVE
CORNER
The GVCC Legislative Committee
wants you to know about some pieces
of legislation that may affect your
business:
A3029 - Increases benefit amounts
under NJ earned income credit pro-
gram to 25% of federal earned income
tax credit amounts beginning in Tax
Year 2012. (Passed by Senate and an
Absolute Veto was received in the
Assembly)
S2404 - Eliminates 10% surcharge
on employer UI taxes during fiscal
year 2014. Signed by Governor
Christie 6/28/13.
S2845 - Proposed legislation to
fund an eight member NJ Wine Board
through tax revenue from wine and
cider sales in the state. Formula
includes collections of about 88 cents
per gallon on all sales of wines, ver-
mouth and sparkling wines sold by
winery licensees, up 41 cents from the
current statutory amount. This bill
also would expand the board's duties
beyond those of the current Wine
Industry Advisory Council, including
research and advertising functions.

bill, visit www.njleg.state.nj.us
