each days theme named after a related book. Monday was
The 500 Hats of Batholomew Cubbins hat day, followed
by I Can Read With My Eyes Shut day, in which students chose a gently used book and held a reading train.
Wednesday was How the Grinch Stole Christmas crazy
hair day. The week rounded out with several community
readers visiting classes on Thursday, and I Am Not

Students began the next week by celebrating Dr.

but National Read Across America Day is traditionally
held on March 2, the birthday of beloved childrens
author Dr. Seuss. The program aims to get children to
read through events, partnerships, and reading
resources. Motivating children to read is important creating lifelong readers. According to the NEA, research
has shown that children who are motivated and spend
more time reading do better in school.
Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer

Webb-McRae spoke to members of the Boys &
Girls Club's SMART Girls program. She discussed her journey as a female in the legal
field and encouraged the girls to follow their
dreams.
The goal of the SMART Girls program is to

Durand Elementary School staff and

family members continued a tradition of
community service recently.
A group of eight staff members, led by
physical education teacher Jim Appleby,
spent their day off from teaching, to provide residents of the Ronald McDonald
House of South Jersey a special meal.
The group cooked and served a breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon, sausage,
waffles, pancakes, home fries, oatmeal, fruit salad and assorted juices to more
than 50 family members who call the Ronald McDonald House home while
receiving treatments.
After breakfast, children were able to have their faces painted, have their nails
polished and/or receive balloon animals from kindergarten teacher Melanie
Smith and her friend Kristin Bryan. Expenses for the event were covered by
funds raised by Durand's Safety Patrol during the year.
Mr. Appleby stated that it was a rewarding experience and is rallying the
group to raise additional funds to return to the house again this spring.

MIKE EPIFANIO Editor & Publisher
WWW.GRAPEVINENEWSPAPER.COM |
I was recently traveling down Landis

Avenue and started to think about how
wonderful this strip was and could be if
people had more pride in their community.
If people actually thought about what it
took to get us here rather than taking the
town and especially Landis avenue for
granted. Then I began to think about the
rich history of Vineland that many people
may not know and thought maybe thats
the reason that people don't look at
Vineland like a beautiful community and
only look at it as the place Walmart is.
A story I remember from when I was
younger is when I was snooping in our
basement and found my dads old Lionel
train set. I didnt know any better so I did
what any young boy would do, I set up the
tracks, I set up the trains and began to
crash the trains into each other I mean
thats what they were there for, right? I
found them, it didnt matter who they
belonged to first, it didn't matter how much
my dad cared about them I was there so
they were mine to destroy if I wanted.
Needless to say my Father was not happy
about the whole situation and the same
could be said for a town. We show up, after
something has been established, and who
cares how much blood, swea,t and tears
were put into this town to make it what it
is. We are here now and we can destroy it if
we want. The people who established it are
long gone so who cares.
Now, there has been a lot of attempts to
bring Landis Avenue back to life over the
past few years and most, unfortunately
have failed right before our eyes. The main
one that comes to mind is the ill-fated
Landis Theater. I remember the renovations were a huge deal (with the marquee
being sent off to get restored). The grand
opening was a big deal and then it just fizzled. One day it was here and then it was
gone. Now standing alone as an advertisement for other things that are happening in
other parts of town. We can only ask ourselves why did it fail? Was it lack of advertisement? Was it lack of pride? People just
didnt care? Maybe all of the above.
Now if I can get on my soap box for a
moment and propose a couple of things that

may help out to get a draw back downtown.
1st: There should be a monthly or bimonthly Vineland Day on Landis Avenue:
A day where the street is open to only
pedestrians. Parking would be in the free
parking lots provided to not only make it
safe for people walking but also allow people to know just where the parking lots are.
This would be a day where shops could
interact with the public by either offering
free samples, coupons, one-day only specials or just flyers or menus. Its a good way
for the public to know what is where and
what each place has to offer. Also offer historical tours around the city and photos of
the what the storefronts used to look like
on display so people could get a better idea
of where this town came from.
2nd: A safe nightlife. I recently read
about a new dance club that opened up and
felt that that was a fantastic idea as long as
the patrons feel safe. I think a lot of the reason Landis has gotten a bad rap is because
of safety reasons. A stronger, on-foot, police
presence would be a good start to change
peoples attitude about downtown at night.
Landis Avenue should be fun and should be
known that unruly behavior will not be tolerated. Why should the good people be
punished and kept off of the street at night
because of riff raff.
3rd: This is just a personal opinion for
Landis Theater but I always felt that it
would be a great idea to show classic
movies on the big screen. I, personally, have
never gotten to see The Wizard of Oz,
Casablanca, or Gone With the Wind in the
theater and I'm sure a lot of people would
agree that that would be a wonderful
Saturday family evening.
These are just some of this writers
opinion. Maybe Ive been watching to
much Andy Griffith lately and feel that
Vineland is Mayberry. Maybe its just a pipe
dream that I have and the answer is just
another retail store or fast food chain and
Vineland is just another zip code or maybe
just maybe one day this could be a reality
and Landis Avenue or Vineland as a whole
could be a place we take our children and
people will say they are proud to be from
Vineland.

The Animal Welfare Associations

(AWA), Annual Paws and Feet Run 5K Race
and Doggie Fun Day is scheduled for
Saturday, May 16, at Cooper River Park in
Pennsauken, NJ. AWA counts on the money
raised from the event to provide shelter
and medical care to over 2,000 homeless
dogs and cats AWA adopts out each year.
Last year, animal lovers and members of
the community helped raise more than
$100,000 for the animals, making it the
highest grossing event in AWA history.
This years theme is Superheros and
our fundraising goal is set for $110K, says
Maria Clarke, AWAs Director of Events,
Business and Community Relations.
Thousands of people participated in the
run and walk in 2014, but Paws and Feet is
more than just a race and walk, says
Clarke. Its a celebration of the human
animal bond. We believe that ordinary
people do extraordinary things for pets,
we see this everyday in our work and
through our interactions with people. We
want to encourage folks to unleash their
inner superhero and help us raise the
funds necessary for us to be able to help
more people and pets in 2015.
After the race/walk, people and their
dogs can participate in the fun-filled day of
Superhero-themed activities, grab a bite to
eat, shop for pet-related items from the vendors

o, I hear people on a regular basis

reminiscing about Vinelands past
glory days and the golden era of
our downtown. I see their posts on social
media, their letters to the editor, and I hear
them as comments as I go around town.
Such reminiscences are all well and good,
but lets not make them obituaries for our
city or our downtown. As a native
Vinelander, I can remember the old days of
our downtown as well as anybody. We cannot bring back much of that.
Demographics, changes in age groups,
and shopping habits have changed. We can,
however, remake our downtown into something new and exciting for those who are
coming of age and see in our downtown
something special for them. For this, we
need to instill in all Vinelanders a sense of
Vineland Prideand we are on the way.
In this column and future columns, I will
outline what we have done so far, and how
you can help. Lets touch on what has happened so far:
New Jersey 350 Pop-Up Store
ExtravaganzaWe joined, late last year, in
the statewide celebration of New Jerseys
350th birthday with a Pop-Up Store
Extravaganza spearheaded by Main Street
New Jersey. Even though we got started
later than the other communities who participated, we did ourselves proud. Our sales
of merchandise were high, our events at
the Pop-Up Store, Landis MarketPlace, and
the Landis Theater were spectacular, and
we brought a lot of statewide recognition to
our downtown and what we can do.
Landis TheaterSpeaking of the
Landis Theater, we have brought new life
to this downtown icon. The Pop-Up Store
events there were the first in an ongoing
series of events that are keeping the building open and busy on a four-walls rental
basis. Although its not where we ultimately want to bewith a management body
running itit is keeping the building alive
and kicking. Youll be reading about exciting shows to take place there.
Landis MarketPlace/Amish Market
Those of you who have gone in there have
seen some changes. A new bakery is opening in the Amish Market downstairs, as
well as a new Amish chicken vendor. Some
vendors upstairs have moved around and
new vendors are coming in. Youll be seeing

I Vintage Vineland
{ BY VINCE FARINACCIO }
Fairfields Origins
Fairfield Township was founded and inhabited by
New Englanders who helped shape this area.
n Vinelands earliest years, former

New Englanders comprised much
of the towns population. But
Vineland wasnt the first area of
South Jersey to be filled with residents
from the upper Northeast portion of the
country. Fairfield Township, in fact, was
founded and inhabited by a considerable
population of New England transplants
who helped shape this area over several
centuries.
According to online sources, Fairfield
Township was created by Royal Charter
on May 12, 1697, but its origins can be
traced back to 1638 with an expedition by
George Lamberton and Captain Nathaniel
Turner to the Delaware Bay. Purportedly,
the men undertook this journey because
they had heard this was a promising area
for them to expand their fur trade.
In a highly informative 1948 article,
They Called ItFairfield, in We Women,
a historical publication billed as the
Womens Magazine of Bridgeton, New
Jersey, the expedition consisted largely
of men from New Haven, Connecticut,
along with some residents from Long
Island. Whether or not these men established a settlement in 1638 is unknown,
but a surviving deed for the purchase of
land by Turner from the Indians in this
area is dated November 24, 1638. The article reports that this land was bought
along the shore of the Delaware Bay from
Cape May to Racoon Creek, Varckens Kill,
Hog Creek or Salem River.
According to J. Howard McAllisters
article Fairtons Earliest Settlers, written at the same time as They Called
ItFairfield, there is evidence indicating
that before the arrival of European settlers, Indians of the Unamis clan, a
division of the Lenni Lenape, resided in
this area.
We Women says that the price paid
was thirty pounds, but adds that one historical source claims that the New Haven
people are said to have paid in the aggregate within five years about six hundred
pounds. Various sources agree that
Turners entourage probably first attempted to establish a settlement in 1640 but
ran into complications. The Swedish and
Dutch settlers who had already made this
area their home resented the arrival and
subsequent success of Turners group, and
turned the Indians against the newcomers.
The New Haven contingent spent the next
two years earning the trust of the Native

Americans.
According to We Women, 1643 was
when the Dutch authorities compelled
the Connecticut men to surrender all their
possessions, burning their store houses
and forcing them to return to New Haven,
permitting them to take only their movable goods. Even though the Connecticut
men were driven from Salem [County]
they had made posts and found lodgment
at other points to which they clung with
the utmost tenacity. Trade and territory
were not entirely abandoned, for many of
the Connecticut men did not return to
New Haven.
One of the men who did return was
Turner, who immediately met with members of the Congress of the United
Colonies of New England and told of the
treatment his expedition received at the
hands of the Swedish and the Dutch. He
implored them to relay the information to
the Supreme Congress. Measures were
adopted to redress the wrongs done by the
Dutch and Swedes, We Women reports,
and the Supreme Congress authorized
them to return to the Delaware and to
insist on not relinquishing their claims.
Turner returned to the Fairfield
Township area frequently over the next 20
years, while the Connecticut men and
their families labored to maintain their
South Jersey settlement. Their endurance
paid off when, in 1664, the English conquest of the territory changed the situation. With added protection from the
English law, We Women explains,

EASTLYN GOLF COURSE AND THE GREENVIEW INN
he Buono family has owned and operated Eastlyn Golf Course and The
Greenview Inn for the past ten years. Owners Bob & Rosemary Buono have
owned several businesses in Vineland. They take particular pride in this venture
working with their son Rob Buono Jr. Rob, a VHS graduate, had a love for food and
business as a child. This passion drove him north to Johnson & Wales University in
Providence, R.I. Education and diverse work experiences helped mold him into the
chef he is today. Chef Rob relishes the opportunity to bring a gourmet experience
to Vineland. He describes the cuisine as American with a Mediterranean twist.
The Greenview Inn is embedded in an agricultural community. We focus our
menu on seasonal. Were out here in beautiful East Vineland surrounded by farms.
So farm-to-table for sure. We support local business, buying local produce, meats,
and seafood.
I love people and this community, says Buono. When our guests are dining,
when a wedding reception is happening, when youre teeing off, we want to wow
them. Kill them with kindness, good food, professional service and a comfortable
atmosphere.
Achieving this all starts with a great team, from management team, chefs,
servers, stewards, golf pro, grounds crew, etc... There are three businesses within
one roof, Golf, Gourmet Restaurant and Banquet Facility. No easy task and cannot
be operated without our entire staff. Our people behind this place have great
passion. Chef Rob wants them all to know how appreciated they are!

en years ago, Cindy (Woods) Marks saw an opportunity. The lifelong

Cumberland County resident had become aware of a glaring absence of
fireplace retailers in the area she called home. Cindy approached her husband,
Bob, who had over 25 years experience building mantels for other fireplace stores,
about opening up their own business.
Bob jumped at the opportunity to start his own business with his wife.
Together, they opened American Fireplace. The business specializes in gas
fireplace and wood stove service and installation. For fireplaces, they offer both
pre-designed and custom models.
They also install chimneys and recently became certified for chimney sweeps,
something that requires a national recognition by the CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute
of America).
They can meet all of your fireplace and wood stove needs.
