Things you can do each and every day to get fit and stay that way.
Part 1 of a two-part series. { BY RYAN DINGER }
Everyday Tips to Fitness
Unhappy with your body? You can literally walk your way out of it.
Walking daily is one of the easiest ways to shed pounds. Listening to
music or talking with a friend while walking will make it feel effortless.
I
ts become an annual tradition. Each year, on
January 1st, you look yourself in the mirror and
promise yourself this will be the year you shed
those excess pounds and get back in shape.
But by mid-February, youre back on the couch,
gazing at the television, munching on the snacks that
have been your downfall for years. The health and fit-
ness books you bought are collecting dust on a shelf,
and youve cancelled your gym membership.
Another year lost. Another 12 months spent think-
ing about how youd like to get in shape, only to suc-
cumb to the same habits that got you where you are to
begin with. The hole youre in becomes that much
deeper, the path out that much harder.
Youve heard all the tips, tried all the diets, and
attempted to dedicate yourself to diet and exercise.
But nothing seems to work. An ominous feeling of
helplessness sets in.
Fortunately, its never too late to get a start on get-
ting healthy and in shape.
There are tips out there that you may not have
heard. Everyday changes that can make a difference.
This two-part series will outline 10 of them.
Incorporate these outside-of-the-box health tips into
your everyday life, and you may find the path to your
target weight isnt as treacherous as it once seemed.
10) GET A REGULAR AMOUNT OF SLEEP
Many people dont realize how much sleep and
daily consumption levels are intertwined. According
to various medical journals, people who get eight
hours of sleep nightly take in, on average, 200 fewer
calories per day. By simply ensuring that youre well-
rested, you can vastly reduce your amount of caloric
intake over an extended period of time.
Your body derives energy from both food and
sleep, said Lisa Scheetz, Director of Operations at the
Vineland YMCA. So naturally the two are connected.
If youre getting the proper amount of sleep each
night, youll be less inclined to feel hungry the next
day, and that absence of hunger will cut down on
unnecessary snacking, helping to reduce your intake.
Not only does sleep help reduce the amount you
consume, but it also recharges your immune system,
helping you avoid sickness and gear up for a workout.
So, good newssleeping regularly could become a
key contributor to your fitness.
9) DRINK MORE WATER
The benefits of drinking more water are threefold.
First, by replacing your usual drink of choice
whether it is juice, soda, tea, or alcoholicwith water,
youll reduce the amount of calories you consume.
Water holds a grand total of zero calories, so even the
most health-conscious drinkers can reduce their daily
caloric intake by 500 simply by switching to water.
But water has another, even more important bene-
fit. It can reduce the amount of food you eat daily.
Serving sizes have gotten out of control in the U.S.,
said Scheetz. When you look at the chain restaurants,
their typical meals are three times the standard serving
size, and this is what people have become accustomed
to eating. So when you cut down to a normal serving
size, you still feel hungry when youre done your
meal. One way to help yourself feel more full after a
meal is to drink a big glass of water beforehand.

Hug-A-Bear Reaches
Out to Traumatized
Children
Diane Kolman, executive direc-
tor of HUG-A-BEAR Foundation,
visited the Vineland Service Clubs
Council recently to speak about
the foundation and the work that
they do. HUG-A-BEAR is a foun-
dation that reaches children in
heartbreaking traumatic situa-
tions and provides them with a
little HUG-A-BEAR to hug for
comfort and security. The founda-
tion engages the communities in
fundraising to purchase and outfit
the HUG-A-BEARS. Once they are
ready for distribution, they are transported in duffel bags to state police, fire
and rescue squads, shelters, emergency rooms, pediatric centers, American
Red Cross, Children Bereavement Camp, children of deployed military families,
court-appointed special advocates for children, children in courts, adoptions,
county surrogate and other child advocate organizations. The first responders
are given a duffel bag of bears for each of their patrol vehicles.
Pictured holding some of the bears is Diane Kolman, left, with Service Clubs Council
Treasurer B.J. Giercyk.

Does and Donts

An Aha Moment
Our columnists epiphany leads to his
first-ever New Years resolution.
I
have never ever made a New Years
resolution. Until this year. It seems
that over the holidays I had another
one of those aha moments where you
suddenly realize youre doing something
that doesnt make any sense. (Thats a
politically correct way of saying you are
doing something stupid.)
Now, anyone who knows me knows
that I do a lot of stuff that doesnt make
much sense: some, in fact, would say that
its my most endearing quality.
Heres how I came to my moment.
One of my favorite things about the
holidays is visiting with friends and rela-
tives and swapping stories about
Christmases past.
The best ones to talk to about that are,
of course, my brother Pete, and sister
Sharon, who are back in Michigan.
It used to be that I could catch the
whole family on Christmas Day with one
phone call to our parents home.
When Mom couldnt handle it, the day
passed to my sister.
But I was still able to get them all with
one call on those rare occasions when my
family didnt make it home for the holidays.
Nowadays, like most modern families
(including my own) were finding it harder
and harder to get together except for the
required weddings and funerals.
So, on Christmas Day, I called my sister
who was, she said, just putting dinner on
the table.
She said our brother and his family
werent there, but didnt elaborate.
So I called my brother.
He told me theyd just come back from
California where they had been visiting
his step-daughter and her family. He
couldnt talk long, he said, because they
were going to his other step-daughters
for dinner.
That night my sister called back and,
during our conversation, I asked if my sister-
in-law was planning anything special for
my brothers 70th birthday in January.
My sister said that Pete, who earlier
this year had a couple of cancer surgeries,
had come up with a bucket list of things
he wanted to do before he passed.
My phone calls with Pete are never
very long. When he was diagnosed with
cancer, he called and said, Hey, Ive got
prostate cancer. You better get checked.
That was pretty much the whole
conversation.
When I heard about his bucket list, it
kind of surprised me because Id always
thought that my big brother had done just
about everything.
Hed founded his own company as a
very young man; been married three or
four times (including once to an Indian
princess); hung out with the rich and
famous; traveled the world; and been a car-
ing son for our parents in their final years.
What could he possibly have on his
bucket list, I asked my sister.
Well, hes always wanted to fly in one
of those World War I biplanes, she said.
Turns out theres place in Texas where
they have a military aviation museum with
dozens of World War I and II airplanes.
Thats where hell be; and what hell be
doing for his 70th is pretending hes the
Red Baron.
Every time I think of my brother with
one of those old leather flying helmets
with the ear flaps and goggles I cant help
but smile.
He cast a pretty big shadow for me
from the time we were little.
All the time we were growing up he
was a little bigger, a lot tougher, and a
whole lot smarter.
In fact, Ive often wondered if one of
the reasons I moved here was to get out of
his shadow. Not that that did much good.
As some of you long-time readers might
remember, he was the majority partner in
my newspaper, The Cumberland News.
He was also one of the reasons why I
gave it up.
When our Dad turned 80, Pete threw
him a huge party at his estate and invited
everyone in the familyexcept me.
For Dads 90th, Pete threw another
huge party. This time I was invited. It was
the first time Id been in the house.
Since our parents passing weve kind of
reconciled to the point where weve taken
a couple of short vacations together.
But we still always seem to rub one
another the wrong way, somehow.
My aha moment?
Pete in a leather flying helmet with
goggles, whooping and yelling as he loops-
the-loop over Texas.
My New Years resolution?
Be a better brother. I

Vineland Celebrates Hanukkah
The miracle of
Hanukkah was recalled
and commemorated on
the top floor of
Vinelands City Hall at
the citys Hanukkah cel-
ebration on Tuesday,
December 20, spon-
sored by the Jewish
Federation of
Cumberland, Gloucester
& Salem Counties. With
city department heads
present, Rabbi Yisroel
Rapoport, of Sons of Jacob Congregation in Vineland, recalled the meaning of the
holiday before reciting the blessings over the lighting of the menorah candles.
This festival is another opportunity for us to give thanks for the daily gifts from
the Almighty, Rabbi Rapoport said. The Hanukkah lights bring us warmth during
the darkest and coldest season of the year.
Rabbi Alfredo Winter, of Beth Israel Congregation in Vineland, stressed the spirit
of hope that the holiday inspires: Hanukkah is the story of the victory of few
against the many and we can take that into our own lives, Rabbi Winter said. The
light of Hanukkah is our light at the end of the tunnel.
After the menorah lighting, Rabbi Rapoport led the group in holiday songs and
distributed Hanukkah geltmoney-shaped candy usually given as gifts to the chil-
drento Vineland Mayor Robert Romano and others present.
This is a great event and we give you our thanks for sharing your culture and
your religion with us, said Mayor Romano.
The ceremony ended with a kosher festival lunch of roast chicken and potato latkes.
Steven Schimmel, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Cumberland,
Gloucester & Salem Counties, wants to build on this annual ceremony in future
years: The Jewish community is so grateful to the greater Vineland community for
its support, Schimmel said, The warmth of the menorah candles at this celebra-
tion is indicative of the warmth of our city toward our Jewish population.

ai Chi &Chi Gong are exercises
which promote good health and
inner balance. Through gentle
movements in coordination with
breathing, they improve digestion,
blood pressure and circulation, and
rel ieves tension and stress.
T
Finally, when youre fully hydrated, it is
easier for your body to burn fat, and your
body wont retain as much water.
According to Joe DeAngelis, owner of
Flex Fitness in Bridgeton, you should be
drinking about half of your body weight in
ounces of water per day. (If you weigh 200
pounds, you should drink about 100 ounces
of water a day). This will result in fat loss
within the first couple of weeks.
Clear, natural H
2
O can be a crucial com-
ponent and a powerful ally when it comes to
weight loss and reaching your target weight.
8) WALK DAILY
Walking is the most natural form of
exercise, and incorporating a walk into
your daily routine can help you make great
strides toward overall health. Walking can
help shed fat while also encouraging heart
health by providing a cardio workout.
The average sedentary American takes
somewhere between 1,000 to 3,000 steps a
day. That may seem like a lot, but most
medical journals recommend a minimum
of 10,000 steps a day to lose weight and get
in shape. This means that youll have to
make a concentrated effort to increase the
number of steps you take on a daily basis.
One thing Scheetz recommends is buy-
ing a pedometer and putting it to use track-
ing the number of steps you take daily.
One of the biggest things people can do
is walk, said Scheetz. You can buy a
pedometer at a Five Below or some place
like that, and chart the number of steps
youre taking, working your way up to
10,000 steps. If you start a walking pro-
gram, its one of the safest, easiest, and
cheapest ways to get fit.
Have a competition with yourself. Walk
a certain amount of steps one day, and try
to top it the next day. Walk on a treadmill
while youre watching TV.
According to DeAngelis, there are things
you can do throughout your day to help
increase the number of steps you take, even
when youre not focusing on working out.
People dont take walking seriously, but
they should, he said. When you go to the
mall, park away from the mall. When you
go to work, take a parking spot thats fur-
ther away. Take the stairs instead of an ele-
vator or an escalator. Those types of things
over the course of a day, a week, a year, add
up to a lot of extra calories being burned.
If youre unhappy with your body, you
can literally get up and walk your way out
of it.
7) INCORPORATE MUSIC INTO YOUR
ROUTINE
A lot of times, the positive benefits that
music can have on the body and the soul
are overlooked. Music can have a galvaniz-
ing effect not only on your energy level,
but on your will and your desire to do
something, whether it be eating healthier
or exercising. Music has the uncanny abili-
ty to make you feel alive, and when you
have that feeling, its something that you
want to work to keep. This, in turn, can
result in your being more motivated.
According to Mike Terruso, the owner
of TNT Fighting and Fitness of Vineland,
there is a discernible difference between
his exercise classes when there is music
playing compared to when it is silent.
I think music is hugely important for a
workout, said Terruso. I know when I
want to work out, there are certain songs to
get me motivated and keep me going. When
youre tired, music can really push you fur-
ther. Ive always been a big supporter of it.
There was one day when the radio
wasnt working in the gym, and the mood
was definitely more of a somber mood in
all of my classes.
Music can also play more of a superficial
role in helping you while you work out.
A lot of people become self-conscious
when theyre working out and they can
hear themselves straining and grunting,
said Terruso. Music really helps to block
that out and allows you to focus on the
task at hand without feeling too inhibited.
So crank up that radio or those head-
phones. Your favorite band or artist may
become the best personal trainer youve
ever had.
6) JUMPSTART YOUR METABOLISM
Could eating more actually be beneficial
to your health? Not exactly. But those out
there that punish themselves with tortur-
ous starvation-method diets are actually
doing more harm than good. This is
because when you stop eating, your metab-
olism actually slows down. That means
when you do eat, your body will extract as
much fat as possible from whatever it is
you ingest, and will store that fat in reserve.

ust a few weeks ago in this column,
I reviewed many of Main Street
Vinelands accomplishments and
achievements of the past year. With
the New Year already here, I want to follow
up with a peek ahead at 2012 and what
each of our four committees is planning.
The economic storm has hit everyone
to a greater or lesser degree, and Main
Street Vineland is no exception. With
funds cut back, we have to focus especially
hard on fundraising and increasing our
volunteer base. So, it is fitting that we
begin with the Organization Committee,
chaired by Kathy Cavallero, as fundraising
and volunteers are major components of
that committees responsibilities: Without
them, the other committees could not do
their work. Fundraising needs to be
achieved largely through sponsorships
and events. We are thankful that organiza-
tions such as Century Bank, Susquehanna
Bank, Ace Plumbing, Heating & Electrical
Supplies, Inc., and Comcast came forward
to sponsor events, donating money that
made those events possible.
The Organization Committee is looking
to enlarge our sponsorship base this year,
not only for events but as supporters of
downtown revitalization. It plans to fol-
low up on its successful A Taste of
Vineland event of last October with more
such events that are fun and raise valuable
funds. Members are the lifeblood of any
organization, and our volunteers are the
ones who make our events and projects a
reality. With the generous multi-year
sponsorship of our volunteer program by
Capital Bank, we had a successful
Volunteer Information and Networking
Event (VINE) last year and more member-
ship events are planned for 2012.
The monthly Main Street Vineland
newsletter, Downtown Update, also the
work of the Organization Committee,
appears in this publication and helps high-
light Main Street Vinelands achievements
to potential volunteers and sponsors.
The Promotions Committee plans the
fun events that bring thousands of people
to Landis Avenue. With Brian Lankin, a
downtown merchant, beginning his term
as chairperson, more merchant events are
planned to follow up on the success of last
years Wedding Weekend. Plans are being
made for a return of Wedding Weekend,
as well as Lunch on Landis and sidewalk
sales. Keep It Local Wednesdays is
being planned to urge people to patronize
our many great downtown businesses, and
a number of other special events are also
being planned.
The beautification projects that make
downtown Vineland look great are the
work of the Design Committee, with
Sam Levy as interim chair. Spring and Fall
Planting Days have brought Main Street
Vineland volunteers, joined by volunteers
from local schools and other organiza-
tions, to add seasonal color to our down-
town mini-parks and other focal points.
The committee is planning on adding
more beautification days to keep our
downtown looking attractive, especially
for events and festivals. Several other
beautification projects are being planned
and the committee will also be working
with various city departments on code
and design guideline issues. The recent
Parking, Circulation, and Landscape
Study offered many suggestions and the
committee, in conjunction with the City,
will be giving high priority to those
regarding wayfinding.
The Economic Restructuring
Committee, with Carmen Valentin taking
over as chairperson, helps downtown busi-
nesses take advantage of the revitalization
of Landis Avenue. A major project for this
year will be maintaining an inventory of the
downtown businessesto include informa-
tion about the business and the property.
This inventory will need to be updated
regularly, so we can have a good idea as to
what businesses are downtown and can
better reach out to them. The committee
reaches out to businesses through periodic
business walks and a business newsletter,
and a new website is also planned to go
live in the very near future.
So, as you can see, Main Street
Vineland is always on the go, and we can
use your helpas a volunteer, sponsor, or
donor.
From all of us at Main Street Vineland,
we wish all of you a Healthy and Happy
New Year. I

Safety Patrol Brings Tiny Tim Caroling To School
Members of the Mennies Elementary School Safety Patrol entertained students and
staff members by singing songs of the season throughout the school, according to Mrs.
Tanya Bruce, Mennies computer teacher and safety patrol advisor. The group also col-
lected donations for the Tiny Tim Fund, a nonprofit group founded in 1946 by
Vinelanders Betty and Dick Ells to help a local girl who needed heart surgery. A carol
night is held annually throughout the city to raise funds to help children with various
medical conditions. The Safety Patrol enjoyed singing, ringing bells, and wearing holiday
hats. Those participating included Siera Rivera, Julianna Sbrana, Amanda Sciolis, Brooke
Bryant, Evin Guilford, Maria Aldama, Brooke Brady, Kayla Montgomery, Katherine Motoa,
Gabriel Ramos, Jessica Montgomery, Isaac Roman, Janice Lopez, Tunahan Tellioglu,
George Percival, Andi Choko, Kara Kuchinski, Jared Russo, and Marlenee Dominguez.
Delsea JROTC Rifle Team Wins Competition
The Delsea
Regional High School
JROTC Rifle team has
taken first place in
the 2nd ROTC
Brigade in only their
second year of air
rifle competition. The
2nd ROTC Brigade
includes schools from
the entire Northeast
and Delsea was able
to beat Sacopee
Valley High School in
Maine by nine points
to take first place.
The Army JROTC
Postal gives all cadets
who participate in air
rifle marksmanship
an opportunity to experience a national level competition fired at their unit's
home range. Each cadet fired a three-position, prone, standing and kneeling 3x10
course of fire on official postal targets. By taking first place within the Brigade,
Delsea will be invited to participate in the Army National JROTC Service
Championship in February 2012 at Camp Perry, Ohio. Members of the winning
team, which includes the top four firers, included Freshmen Ginneane Folcarelli
who finished tied for second place in the Brigade, Senior Joshua Hameier,
Sophomore Alecia Pugliese, and Junior Erin Anderson. Junior Joseph Delgiorno
tied with Cadet Anderson, who won with more perfect 10 scores than any other
participant. Cadet Delgiorno will receive an at-large individual invitation based on
his score. The team is coached by JROTC instructor, LTC Dane Woytek.

Red Lobster Employees Brighten Holiday For
Sabater Students
Employees at the Red Lobster Restaurant in Vineland collected more than 50
toys to brighten the holiday for 20 students at Sabater Elementary School. The
project was initiated by Jay Cardona, the restaurant's general manager, according
to Stephanie Armstrong, a second grade teacher at Sabater who also works part
time at Red Lobster.
"The idea was to conduct a local toy drive and give the gifts to children at a
school in our area," said Armstrong. Sabater was a natural fit because of her
part time job at Red Lobster, she said.
The donation was coordinated by the school's crisis team, which helps needy
families at holiday time with gifts for children.
After all the toys were turned in, Armstrong and Kenny Smith, Sabater's social
worker, matched the donations with clothes for each child purchased with funds
collected from school staff members.
"The clothing and toys were then given to the families so they could have a
wonderful holiday," said Armstrong.

Centerton Country Club, Padilla Foundation Team Up
On December 7,
the Padilla
Foundation hosted a
fundraiser at the
Centerton Country
Club in Pittsgrove,
with the proceeds
awarded to the
Calvary Development
Corporation (CCDC)
of Pedericktown, NJ
at a press confer-
ence held a week
later. The CCDC is a
non-profit organiza-
tion and the funds
will be used to sup-
port Salem County Youth Programs and Junior Police Academy Programs.
Its important that we get the word out about what the people here at
[Centerton Country Club] and the CCDC are doing, said Ralph Padilla, of the
Padilla Foundation. These are individuals who have been very active in giving
back to the community, and this is just another example of the altruism theyve
exhibited over the years. You dont find this kind of generosity everywhere, and its
a blessing to know this kind of thing still exists. Were happy to be a part of it.
The amount raised and donated was $2,021.38.

County Bar Foundation Hosts Holiday Parties
The Cumberland County Bar Foundation hosted its annual Childrens Holiday
Breakfast on December 3, at Gias in Bridgeton. The Bar Foundation and its
members were able to service 180 children from Big Brothers/Big Sisters of
Cumberland County, CASA of Cumberland, Salvation Army of Vineland and the
Salvation Army of Bridgeton. The children and their families were served a hot
breakfast and were able to mingle with Frosty the Snowman and one of Santas
Elves. The children also had the opportunity to spend a few mintues with Santa
and Mrs. Claus. Each child received a gift and a book.
On December 20, the Cumberland County Bar Foundation hosted its annual
Holiday pizza luncheon for the children at the South Jersey Healthcare Mental
Health Unit in Bridgeton. Each child received a gift from Santa, and the units
received several games for the Wii systems, which the Bar Foundation purchased
over the past few years for the hospital. The children also had a pizza that was
supplied by Brendan Kavangh, Esquire.
These parties are ongoing each year with the help of the members of the
Cumberland County Bar Foundation and the public who support their fundraisers
throughout the year.

national average in fundraising efficiency,
which is based on the the percentage of
income that is used for fundraising expens-
es. The organization had a fundraising effi-
ciency ratio of 99 percent, meaning that it
spends only one cent to raise a dollar. The
national average for all Top 200 charities is
90 percent.
In the charitable commitment category,
which describes the percentage of income
that is invested back into programs and
services, the FoodBank had a ratio of 96
percent, compared to an average of 86 per-
cent for the Top 200 charities, meaning
that only 4 percent of revenue is used for
overhead expenses.
We are thrilled to once again receive
high accolades from another reputable
judge of our fiscal responsibility and stew-
ardship, says Phyllis Dunlop, vice presi-
dent of Resource Development and
Marketing at the FoodBank.
Feeding America, of which the
FoodBank is a proud member organization,
came in No. 3 behind the United Way and
the Salvation Army in the list of largest
charities. The rankings are based on the
amount of support from the private sector,
and are a strong indicator of how crucial
individual gifts are in maintaining services
to those in need nationally.

Sherman Avenue at the
Boulevard Reopens
Traffic began flowing again through the
newly constructed intersection of Sherman
Avenue (CR 552) and the SE/SW boule-
vards in Vineland last Thursday afternoon
after the completion of a major nine-month
improvement project.
The $3.1 million federally funded project
began back in March, improving the sec-
tion of Sherman Avenue on both sides of
the intersection with SE and SW boule-
vards as well as the Conrail railroad tracks
that run between them.
Most notably, Sherman Avenue is now
up to the grade of the tracks.
The project also added two additional
lanes to Sherman Avenue at the intersec-
tion as well as a traffic signal. Conrail
improved and widened the railroad-cross-
ing surface.
For at least the first five days, all inter-
sections were multi stop with a flashing red
signal. By now, the intersection has
switched over to a controlled signal.
The project had been in the planning
stages since 2004.

O
ur health can change very quickly.
When a family member, friend or
loved one needs assistance caring
for themselves or faces the possibility of
going into a nursing home because of
limited options, the whole process can be
challenging and overwhelming for many
seniors and caregivers. This is especially
true in cases where seniors do not have
family or a support system in place to
help get them to doctor appointments,
receive treatments, pick up medications
or to assist them with daily needs. A mul-
titude of decisions and reams of paper-
work often fall into the laps of caregivers.
However, South Jersey Healthcares
new LIFE Program (Living Independently
for Elders) is a shining beacon of hope
for many. The Center is designed to keep
people in the community, prevents
unnecessary institutionalization, provides
health care at lower costs, and supports
family caregivers by providing everything
they need under one roofsaving every-
one time and money in the process.
The Center is open Monday through
Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and pro-
vides seniors (55 and older) with an on-
site physician, nursing staff, dietitian,
pharmacy, therapists, social workers and
support staff. Participants in the pro-
gram enjoy fulfilling and engaging activi-
ties, lunch, outings, and transportation
to outside services such as dialysis, doc-
tor appointments, labs, diagnostic imag-
ing and much more.
Cynthia Lytle, the programs new
Executive Director, brings more than 12
years of experience successfully develop-
ing and operating a similar program in
Pennsylvania, known as PACE (Program
for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly).
The LIFE program continues to grow
beyond our expectations and has been
well received in the community since its
launch in August, said Lytle. There is
no other program as comprehensive as
ours that manages the participants
needs through whatever level of care is
required and provides support to care-
givers to successfully allow the senior to
remain independent in his or her home.
In most cases, there are no out-of-
pocket costs to the participants. Once a
senior is accepted into the program, the
LIFE program pays for the cost and pro-
vides for the majority of medical needs
for as long as he or she agrees to stay
in the program, which includes hospital-
ization, primary specialist medical care,
psychological services, dental, vision,
and hearing care, labs, medical equip-
ment, all prescriptions and end-of-life
care without the usual wait times,
paperwork and headaches.
LIFE enrollment counselors meet with
each senior and their caregivers to pro-
vide an individualized health care plan of
action based on the participants needs.
It may be that a senior visits the center
daily, a couple times a week, or even
monthly, depending on what assistance
they may need. Its a revolutionary pro-
gram, one of only 83 in the nation that
provides this kind of proactive care.
We take care of everything, easing
the burden on the caregivers, providing
transportation, all of the logistics with
an impressive interdisciplinary team of
certified professionals, said Director of
Nursing Carlos Perez.
Who Is Eligible for The LIFE Program?
Seniors (55 or older) living in the
service area of Cumberland County and
parts of Salem and Gloucester counties.
Those who medically qualify for nursing
home care and those who can live safely
in the community are eligible to enroll.
How To Find Out If Youre Eligible.

Schedule a meeting with an enrollment
counselor in the comfort of your home
where a personalized plan of care is
developed and agreed upon.

Instead of cutting back on what you eat,
alter the fashion in which you eat. Instead of
eating three solid meals a day, eat six smaller
meals. Have a small bowl of cereal for break-
fast, and have a banana mid-morning. Repeat
this type of thing through the day.
Think of your bodys metabolism as a
fire, said Amanda Meschi, supervisor and
personal trainer at South Jersey Fitness
Connection in Vineland. When youre build-
ing a fire, you want to put kindlingsmaller
sticks and leaveson first, because theyre
more likely to burn. Once you have a smaller
fire going, you can throw the big log on there
and the fire will be able to handle it. Eating is
no different. If you have smaller meals
throughout the day, they act as kindling to
keep your metabolism going. So when you go
home, the big dinner you have will be easier
for your body to burn off because your
metabolism is already burning. The graze
method of eating is much healthier.
Meschi also recommended enlisting the
help of a calorie counter online or a calorie
counting pedometer. Even when eating
more meals, you should still be watching
your caloric intake. Calorie counters work
great because they can tell you how many
calories you need to eat a day, based on your
activity level and the amount of weight
youd like to lose.
Next week, well have five more every-
day tips to help you reach your fitness goals
in 2012.
Here are some health and fitness tips
from area health care providers:
BODY BENEFITS PILATES STUDIO
Pilates has many benefits, especially for
men, yet one of the biggest misconceptions
is that its an exercise only for women, or
its too easy.
Pilates was in created by a man for men.
Men, although bigger and stronger than
women, have the same muscles, put togeth-
er the same way. The difference is attitude;
men have always seen Pilates as not mas-
culine enough to join a class. Try telling
that to The Navy Seals, or the New Zealand
All-Blacks Rugby team, or to Dallas
Cowboys De Marcus Ware, who all include
Pilates as part of their fitness program.
As strong as I was, I had a weak core
says Ware. A guy who has been to the Pro
Bowl every year since 2006, who is
described as the most dynamic defender in
the league right now (ESPN) had a weak
core. Now every Quarterback he faces keeps
their eyes open for No.94 realizing that at
any time he could show them a Pilates-
enhanced move that they will never forget.
Jason Kidd (NBA player), Curt Schilling
(MLB player), Alexander Ovechkin (NHL
player) have all incorporated a Pilates-based
conditioning program to enhance their
sport performance. Regular Pilates classes
also make the incidence of injury less likely.
Pilates improves posture and balance,
which equals better performance in sports
and in everyday life.
Its a shame that the average man still
shys away from joining a Pilates class. Most
men who exercise frequently have strong
mover muscles, but their smaller stabilizing
muscles are weak and they are incredibly
tight and lack flexibility. Pilates works by
strengthening and developing the deep core
muscles in your trunk and back and at the
same time lengthening your muscles to
increase your flexibility, says Anita
Cavalier, owner of Body Benefits Pilates stu-
dio. From the Navy Seals to professional
athletes to the average everyday man, any-
one who practices Pilates gains explosive
strength, flexibility, and staminaand
boosts their energy.
THE CENTER FOR DIAGNOSTIC
IMAGING (CDI), as a provider of medical
imaging services, is unique in this region

advanced radiology modalities, a team of five

CDIs advanced imaging tests include a
PET/CT Scanner. PET/CT is an advanced
imaging technique that assists in the diagno-
sis of many diseases. PET/CT is a fusion
technique that allows the physician to look at
both anatomy and metabolic changes at the
same time. A PET/CT scan can be used to:
Determine if a mass or lymph node is
malignant or benign
Detect malignancy in normal-size
lymph nodes or normal-appearing tissue
Evaluate early tumor treatment response
Determine myocardial viability
Aid in the early detection of
Alzheimers disease
Studies show that a PET/CT scan can
spot Alzheimers through metabolism pat-
terns, sometimes even before significant
symptoms emerge. This study, along with
other tests, can help characterize memory
loss, behavioral changes and other early
symptoms from those of other conditions.
Detecting Alzheimers early is important
because there are new treatment options
that may slow the progression of disease in
some patients.
CDI has two locations: Maintree
Commons, 1450 E. Chestnut Ave., Vineland;
and Upper Deerfield Commons, 1119 Highway
77 in Bridgeton. You can also visit CDI online

EYE ASSOCIATES/SURGICENTER OF
VINELAND has announced its commitment
to continued excellence in the field of
LASIK vision correction with the upgrade
to the advanced iFS (femtosecond) laser.
The iFS laser is the only FDA-cleared fem-
tosecond laser proven with more than 10
years of clinical research improving both
the safety and precision of LASIK.
The iFS laser offers a highly sophisticated
way to prepare the eye for LASIK without a
blade ever touching it. The IntraLase Method
with the iFS laser makes it possible for the
corneal flap to be 100 percent laser-created,
allowing for flap customization and an indi-
vidualized treatment. Sydney L. Tyson, MD,
MPH specifies flap diameter, depth, hinge
location and width, and side-cut architecture
to meet the patients individual needs.
Historically, the use of an oscillating
metal blade, called a microkeratome, in the
first step of LASIK caused the majority of
LASIK complications. In addition to cus-
tomization of the flap, the iFS laser creates a
distinctive beveled-edge that allows for pre-
cise repositioning, alignment and seating of
the LASIK flap for maximum stability
three times that of a blade-created flap.
We are dedicated to staying on the fore-
front of LASIK technology, and the iFS laser
represents the modern standard-of-care in
vision correction worldwide, said Dr.
Tyson. NASA astronauts and U.S. pilots can
have LASIK today because of the exclusive,
validated safety and precision performance
of the IntraLase Methodand were proud
to offer our patients this same advantage.
Clinical studies show excellent visual out-
comes and high patient satisfaction when the
blade-free IntraLase Method is used. LASIK
using the iFS laser is proven to provide faster
visual recovery, fewer dry eye symptoms, and
maximum flap stability. And the iFS laser is
2.5 times faster than previous generation
femtosecond lasers, creating precise, predica-
ble flaps in less than 10 seconds per eye.
Over four million LASIK procedures have
been performed worldwide employing the
IntraLase Method, now used in an estimated
61.1 percent of all U.S. LASIK procedures.

SOUTH JERSEY HEALTHCARE
South Jersey Healthcare is a proud mem-
ber of the Spirit of Women Network, a part-
nership that helps us to improve women's
lives by offering innovative health and com-
munity programs. Recently, SJH was one of
a very small number of facilities in the
country to be selected as a National Spirit of
Women Premier Hospital System for pro-
viding exceptional care for women.
This award is based on Spirit of Womens
National Standards of Excellence in
Womens Health, which were developed in
consultation with the Office of Womens
Health as part of the Department of Health
and Human Service (DHHS). Spirit uses
these standards to measure excellence in
womens healthcare and community out-
reach among their members.
To receive this distinction, SJH partici-
pated in a comprehensive evaluation
process and demonstrated innovation and
excellence in womens programming by
meeting or exceeding at least 80 percent of
these National Standards. They require
focus on women-centered care, call-to-
action education, and access to care in the
following seven areas: Integration of a
Focused Community Assessment;
Implementation of Comprehensive Life
Stage Programming; Sensitivity to
Community Diversity and Cultural
Differences; Strategic Alignment of
Womens Service Lines; Leading Innovation
and Outreach Initiatives; Managing a
Process for Quality Improvement; and
Multidisciplinary Approach to Care.
It is very rewarding to be nationally rec-
ognized for programs that we believe are so
important for women of all ages in our com-
munity, said Chet Kaletkowski, president
and CEO of South Jersey Healthcare.

VINELAND GYNECOLOGY ASSOCIATES
A simple in-office test for women, called
the pap smear, can help doctors detect early
signs of what was once the most common
cancer in women, cervical cancer. Regular
pap smear screenings have diminished the
cancers mortality rate, and cervical cancer
has fallen to seventh in the ranks of cancers
in women.
The pap test is standard in routine gyne-
cological exams. By taking sample cells from
the cervix, gynecologists can detect abnor-
malities that warn of the possibility of cancer.
Removing these cells early is key, says
Ronald P. Portadin, M.D. of Vineland
Gynecology Associates. Cervical cancer usu-
ally shows no symptoms and its progress is
slow. It might be 10 years before the cancer
goes from a group of abnormal, or dysplastic,
cells to full-blown invasive cancer. If we catch
cervical cancer early, while it is confined to
the cervix, it is curable in virtually all cases.
Ninety percent of all cervical cancers
originate in the area from which we take a
sample, says Portadin.
Results vary according to the types of
cells detected. Abnormal cells dont neces-
sarily mean cancer; rather, they show a
degree of change. Measuring this degree
allows doctors to determine the next steps
to take, says Portadin.
Atypical cells are least worrisome, as
they might result from a yeast or bacterial
infection and are normally not cancerous.
Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions
show mild dysplasia, which is an abnormal
cell growth that could signal cancer. High-
grade squamous intraepithelial lesions send
a warning to doctors that a patient has mod-
erate or severely dysplastic cells.
While these lesions, in most cases, do
not necessarily lead to cancer, they can be
pre-cancerous and require careful monitor-
ing and frequent testing and treatment,
says Portadin.
A woman found to have abnormal epithe-
lial cells on a pap smear sometimes under-
goes a more extensive procedure, a col-
poscopy, that gives doctors a detailed picture.
In many cases, well combine the col-
poscopy with endocervical curettage (scrap-
ing), to take a thin layer of tissue from the
endocervical canal. These biopsies can
reveal and confirm the type and degree of
abnormality, says Portadin.

tual power.
The word "Tang" originates froma Korean
word meaning "to defend and strike." "Soo"
means hand, but it may also be interpreted as
a punch, a strike, a fist, or a defense. "Do"
means a way of life. When you combine the
three words, Tang Soo Do means "The Way of
the Hand of Tang." Tang Soo Do remains a
very traditional martial art that is practiced
throughout the world. The basic values and
methods of training in Tang Soo Do, continue
to enrich the lives of its students as it
enhances and strengthens the mind, body,
and inner spirit. While the philosophy and
concepts of Tang Soo Do may seemmystical,
and the power and abilities of experts unbe-
lievable, it is very practical, and the benefits of
training are within everyones reach.
In addition, Tang Soo Do teaches respect,
confidence and physical fitness, focus and
self-discipline, and peace of mind. As you
move up through the belts, you realize that
Tang Soo Do is a way of life. You will gain a
new way of thinking and acting, which will
guide and teach you in all areas of life.

CUMBERLAND CAPE ATLANTIC YMCA
At the YMCA of Vineland, children and
adults can build a healthy spirit, mind, and
body in a family-friendly environment. On
New Years Day, the YMCA kicked off its
Open House week from 12 noon to 4 p.m.
and running through January 8. The com-
munity is invited to visit the Y during this
week, take a tour and try out the facilities
(including the family fitness center, the
gymnasium, the youth family fit zone and
more) for free. Since 2012 marks the 85th
anniversary of the Vineland Y, several new
promotions will be offered. Through
January 8, visitors can learn about many
specials, including a savings of 45 percent
on Family Value memberships, and the
wide array of classes for all ages. From bal-
let for youngsters to aqua zumba, there is
something for everyone at the YMCA.
Their main office can be reached by calling
856-691-0030. I
At this stage, the condition is still curable,
even if the entire thickness of the tissue is
affected. It is when the disease affects the
underlying tissue of the cervix or neighbor-
ing tissue that doctors consider the patient
to have more severe cancer. At this stage, the
cancer can be more difficult to cure.
Cervical cancer treatment offers patients
options based on the degree of cancer and
our patients preferences. Most women
respond well to in-office procedures or laser
therapy, but some require more extensive
treatment, primarily hysterectomies, radia-
tion or chemotherapy, says Portadin.
Women should have regular pap tests.
These tests are generally covered by insur-
ance, usually involve little if any pain, and
can be done in seconds in the doctors office.
As with all cancers, an ounce of prevention
can make a difference between a curable and
incurable cancer, says Portadin.

Rossi Nets $4,300 in Schoolwalk for Diabetes
The final numbers are in and Rossi Middle School students and staff raised a
total of $4,308 in the recent School Walk for Diabetes, according to Kelly Amato,
a grade 8 English teacher who is also an insulin-dependent diabetic.
School Walk for Diabetes is an educational school fundraising program that
promotes healthy living, school spirit and community involvement.
While raising money for the American Diabetes Association, students learn
about diabetes and the importance of making healthy choices including eating
nutritional foods and exercising every day. The money raised through School
Walk for Diabetes helps to fund diabetes research, education and advocacy in
support of the mission of the American Diabetes Association.
"The event was a huge success," said Amato. "Mother Nature prevented us
from walking around outside, but the gym teachers set up a course through the
gym that suited us just fine. (Radio station) SoJo 104.9 played music for the stu-
dents and donated t-shirts and other prizes. Shop Rite and BJs both donated
money which was used to purchase healthy snacks like carrots, apples, and
oranges. The Pretzel Factory also donated 100 soft pretzels for the students."

VHS French Classes Visit Fashion Museum
Students in Carole Dallago's French classes at Vineland High School visited
the Fashion Institute and Technology College Museum at State University of New
York (SUNY) recently to view the Daphne Guiness Collection of clothing.
Students received college catalogues that described the curriculum and listed
some of the school's famous graduates, including Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera,
and Michael Kors. Students in Dallago's French classes are studying famous
French designers and their impact upon the world today.
Dallago is planning another trip in the spring to The French Culinary Institute
of New York City.
"Both field trips are intended to provide students with a richer background in
other cultures and to open the doors to possible careers in cuisine and fashion,"
she said. "It is so important that our World Language Students experience the
language that they are studying through these experiences."

reetings! When wintertime comes
around its time to make warming and
comforting foods like homemade
soups. Here are two tasty and easy-to-make
soups sure to warm you up, as the frigid win-
ter winds blow. May you have a happy,
healthy, safe and tasty New Year!
Bean & Bacon Soup
5 strips turkey bacon
1 large carrot, chopped
2 ribs of celery, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 (15 oz.) cans great Northern
beans, drained and rinsed
1 tbs. fresh parsley, chopped
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
In a large saucepan over medium heat,
cook the bacon until crisp, then transfer
bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain
off any excess fat, let cool, then break into
small pieces, and set aside. Using the same
saucepan, over medium heat, add the carrot
to the turkey bacon drippings, and cook for 3-
4 minutes. Add the celery, onion, and garlic,
stirring well, cook for 2-3 minutes more or
until carrots are fork tender. Add the drained
and rinsed beans and 2 cups water. Bring to a
boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let sim-
mer for 10 minutes. Uncover and, using a
potato masher, partially mash the bean mix-
ture until it thickens slightly. Stir in the pars-
ley, sea salt, black pepper and bacon. Serve.
Note: If there are not enough drippings
from the turkey bacon to cook the carrots in,
add a little olive oil to the saucepan.
Hearty Chicken Noodle Soup
1 small onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
2 bay leaves
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
Sea salt, to taste (if needed)
Black pepper, to taste
2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
2 cups uncooked multi-grain pasta of
choice
In a stockpot over medium heat, saut the
onion, carrots and celery in olive oil for 5
minutes or until vegetables are fork tender.
Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in
oregano, thyme and bay leaves just until
blended. Add the broth, potatoes salt and
pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat,
cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until
potatoes are fork tender. Stir in cooked chick-
en and uncooked pasta. Simmer for 10 min-
utes or until pasta is cooked. Discard bay
leaves before serving soup.
As always, Bon Appetit! I

Recipe Corner { LISA ANN DiNUNZIO }
M
y initial column of the New
Year begins with a challenge
to the collective sandwich-
makers of Vineland. Jon and
Pattis Coffee Bar and Bistro, a terrific little
family eatery in my adoptive hometown of
Ocean City, has created what I consider to
be a world-class meatless delighttheir
Bistro Veggie Bomb sandwich.
The tidy little restaurant, in the 700
block of Asbury Avenue, is owned and oper-
ated by relatives of famed authorand long-
time O.C. residentGay Talese.
Referred to on their bill of fare as a
luncheon body detox, its a multi-layer
construct of pure, healthful raw vegetables
(with a little fromage included for protein
and variety.) Served on gigantic slices of
hearty black bread, the Bomber begins with
a ground level of field greens then adds
mandoline-sliced tomatoes, cucumbers,
avocado and red onions.
The key to this Dagwood-size construct
is the use of that flat, planed razor-cutting
kitchen tool. A chef I used to be in the
employ of referred to this device as The
French finger-slicer, and although mando-
lines create perfect, wafer-thin cuts, they
are never to be used without great care.
These are then topped by a toss of
sprouts, which we dont particularly enjoy
and usually request that the kitchen omit.
Then, a layer of Provolone cheese, where I
again choose to make changes, substituting
instead lower-fat Feta. The bread is further
accessorized with an excellent pesto mayo
and ready to serve.
Little details make all the difference
here. Utilization of the mandoline creates
vegetables that dont become slippery and
compromise the structural integrity of the
sandwich. Instead, they remarkably bond
together, each becoming more than the sum
of its parts.
The pesto is done our way, plenty of fra-
grant basil (also considered a digestive aid
in many parts of the world), precious little
garlic and a lighter olive oil.
Most important, everything is raw.
Uncooked fruit and vegetables process eas-
ily and provide the human body with more
nutritional value than their cooked coun-
terparts. We should also mention that this
is not a frou-frou, wimpy little lunch
either. When all those ingredients are com-
bined, just half a sandwich is larger than a
Big Mac.
And, of course, infinitely better for you.
So, we ask of the many talented sand-
wich makers in Vinelandplaces like East
Avenues Giovannis, Landis Avenues Bains,
Moris and Lucianos, and Delsea Drives
Jersey Jerrysgive me a cool tasty veg-
etable sandwich for lunch, please!
We find ourselves in the unexpected
position of touting a national brand product
for both its delicious content and healthful
attributes as well at this time. That would
be Amys Kitchens foods, created by couple
Andy and Rachel Berliner in 1987 in honor
of the birth of their daughter.
The company, founded in Chicagoiron-
ically the virtual epicenter of our nations
meat-packing industry for decadeshas
since grown to have outposts in South
Carolina, California, and Oregon. Their mis-
sion was simpleto devise low-fat, organic,
vegetarian fare that would be good enough
to compete in the mass marketplace.
A quarter-decade later, Amys offers
dozens of delicious products like pot pies,
soups, burritos, wraps and burgers, salsas,
pasta sauces, and whole meals. That
includes a meatless chili thats so good, it
practically redefines the entire concept.
The best part? A typical full lunch platter
will set you back only five bucks or so.
Ponder that the next time youre ponying up
the same amount at the drive-thru window.
Did we mention that their victuals con-
tain no additives, preservatives or genetically
modified elements?
Amys is further a textbook case of what
wed characterize as good-faith capitalism.
The Berliner family has kept the enterprise
completely private, having had the restraint
to turn down buckets full of money that
would be made available to them via an IPO.
Frankly, Amys Kitchens is the kind of
business America needs more of, right now.
None of which would matter a whit to me
if their food wasnt so damned good too. I
