arlier this year, South Jersey Health System,

Inc. (SJH) and Underwood-Memorial Health
Systems, Inc. (UMH) announced plans to join
forces in an equal-partnership merger that would
benefit both organizations. On November 1, the plan
to merge became official, as the two groups held a
press conference to announce that they had signed
the final merger agreement.

would improve the health and well-being of our
communities, said Chet Kaletkowski, SJH presi-

physicians in primary and specialty care, she said.

for you. With a strong academic medical base prac-
tice, with strong physicians, and also with, I believe,
a senior management that has a very clear under-
standing of what quality healthcare is and what
every resident in these counties deserves. Theres a
strong commitment to do the right thing.
Added Peter Galetto, chairman of the SJH System
Board of Trustees: Some families had to go to
Philadelphia to get certain services. Those services will
now be available at a higher level, closer to home. So
people wont have to spend so much time traveling.
One of the things that I think distinguishes our
health system from everywhere else is that in your

Gleanings { BY DEBORAH A. EIN, MANAGING EDITOR }
Reality Strikes
Weve had our own version of reality show.
Now its time for us to react realistically.
H
ere we go again: Southern New
Jersey braces/prepares for its
own version of Survivor. None
of us signed up for this, as the
players on the TV series do. Yet, in the space
of little more than a year, Mother Nature has
signed us all on for three events that have
tested our basic survival needs. Young, old,
fit and healthy, disabledweve all been
forced to participate.
First came Hurricane Irene in late
August of 2011, when all residents of Cape
May County were urged to evacuate. Many
relocated to the homes of family and friends
where we nonetheless experienced long-
term power outages that tested our survival
skills and endurance.
Little did we know then that lessons were
being learned for a hurricanes direct hit to
come in late October 2012. But in the mean-
time, Mother Nature caught us totally off-guard
by a strangely named phenomena that we
never even knewexistedthe derecho of June
30, 2012. Again, our patience and survival
skills were put to the test with weeks-long
power outages in the midst of summer heat.
I started writing this column as we waited
for Hurricane Sandy to make landfall, not
knowing exactly where or when it would
come ashore. I was thinking of lessons
learned and field trips taken in a college geol-
ogy class. We visited and stood along the sea-
wall at Sea Bright, New Jersey, dodging sea
spray as our instructor informed us of what
would happen when the big one came.
Call it what you wantthe big one, storm
of the centurybut lets not kid ourselves
into thinking this kind of weather will hap-
pen only once in our lifetime. The meteorol-
ogists now tell us that the beaches and dunes
have been compromised, and any noreaster
that comes along this winter (we typically
get at least six, and one is predicted for this
week) could do worse damage than weve
already seen to our vulnerable coastline.
In that Rutgers class, we also learned the
basics of barrier island geology/ecology: The
islands, left in their natural state, serve to
buffer the mainland from flooding and
storms. Few areas of coastal New Jersey, with
the exception of Island Beach State Park on
the same island as Seaside Heights, have been
left in their natural state. It has primitive
campsites and beachgoer/boater access, but
most importantly, the dunes are intact.
Weve been hearing much about storm
damage in Seaside Heights, but nothing about
its effects on the southern end of the island.
This is a side-by-side comparison of devel-
oped vs. pristine shorelines. These areas can
be examples of how we might have weath-
ered the storm had we not built upon them
structures doomed to flood and/or collapse.
A similar storm surge occurred in New
Orleans when Katrina came ashore there.
Years before, in 1990, I toured that city with a
guide who foretold the very situation that
would occur. That city, on average eight feet
below sea level, sits on swampland created
by millions of years worth of silt deposits
from the Mississippi River. So its not hard to
imagine how a Category IV hurricane could
wreak havoc there.
On the Jersey Shores other coast, which
includes Cumberland County communities
along the Delaware Bay, at least 20 homes
were lost or damaged beyond repair with
Sandys storm surge. Decades earlier, two
towns fronting the bay, Thompsons Beach
and Moores Beach, were wisely abandoned
and essentially handed over to wildlife and
shorebirds and recreationists boating in
from elsewhere.
The same fate seemingly awaits neighbor-
ing Sea Breeze. Several of the handful of
homeowners there previously asked the state
Department of Environmental Protection to
buy their properties. It, too, was once a pop-
ular vacation spot. Steamboats brought trav-
elers from Philadelphia in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries to enjoy Sea Breezes
amusement pier, and the town had at least
two hotels.
No one wants to lose a home or have to
relocate, but if we continue to pump money in
and make these places habitable, future gener-
ations will be in the same predicament, except
more people will be at risk and more dollars
will be needed to fix the problem. Basic geolo-
gy and ecology tell us that we have built on
shifting (if not sinking) sand. As a long-term
solution, I suggest a land buyout program
akin to New Jerseys Farmland Preservation
or Green Acres programs. And the time to
enact it is now, before structures are rebuilt.
Atlantic City casino palaces lucked out
this time, but the odds are stacked against
them for future weather events. The multi-
million dollar homes with a view of the
ocean on Long Beach Island and elsewhere
up and down the Jersey coastline paid (or
eventually will pay) a steep price for that
view. We all will, in taxes and insurance
ratesand beaches forever lost. I

ing National Collection Week (November
1219).

Help in Combatting Southern
Pine Beetle
The Farm Service Agencys Vineland
Service Center, serving Atlantic, Cape May
and Cumberland counties, has announced
the availability of the Emergency Forest
Restoration Program (EFRP). The applica-
tion signup period started on October 22,
2012 and goes through November 30, 2012.
EFRP provides cost-share assistance to
nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) land
owners who have experienced damage
from the southern pine beetle. EFRP pro-
gram participants may receive financial
assistance of up to 75 percent of the cost to
implement approved emergency forest
restoration practices, as determined by
county FSA committees.
County FSA committees determine land
eligibility using on-site damage inspections
that assess the type and extent of damage.
To be eligible for EFRP, NIPF land must:
Have existing tree cover (or had tree
cover immediately before the natural dis-
aster occurred and is suitable for growing
trees); and,
Be owned by any nonindustrial pri-
vate individual, group, association, corpo-
ration, or other private legal entity, that
has definitive decision-making authority
over the land.
In addition, the natural disaster must
have resulted in damage that if untreated
would:
Impair or endanger the natural
resources on the land; and,
Materially affect future use of the
land.
Contact the Vineland Service Center at
856-205-1225, ext. 2 for additional informa-
tion on EFRP. I

Great Atlantic
Hurricane of 1944
It draws some scary parallels to our most recent
onslaughtHurricane Sandy.
W
ith the recent arrival of
Hurricane Sandy, the
appearance of the derecho
in June and the visit by
Irene over a year ago, our area has experi-
enced a considerable lashing that has left
us with countless hours of cleanup and
repair. But our region has been inundated
with this type of weather before and after
the founding of Vineland in 1861. Even
town founder Charles K. Landis discov-
ered the full effects of these gale forces,
which resulted in replacing causeways
and train lines in his resort town of Sea
Isle City in the early 1880s. Its not the
most pleasant way in which we can con-
nect with our ancestors, but it serves as a
tie to the past nonetheless.
Moments like these lend credence to
the old adage that history repeats itself
and a legendary hurricane of 1944 offers a
frightening parallel to recent events. Its
arrival was accompanied by high winds,
drenching rains and a military presence.
When the storm hit in September 1944,
hurricanes had not yet been identified by
peoples names, so it is commonly referred
to as the Great Atlantic Hurricane, and
New Jersey had the opportunity to see
what power it wielded. In similar fashion
to Sandy, the storm washed away houses in
the Harvey Cedar section of Long Beach
Island, severely damaged boardwalks in
Atlantic City and Ocean City, carried a
grand piano from Cape May Convention
Hall into the ocean and removed cause-
ways to towns like Barnegat Island.
Damage to Atlantic Citys Heinz Pier
ended that entertainment fixture in the
town and the ever-popular Steel Pier was
able to survive only after extensive repairs.
Even the lobbies of prestigious Atlantic
City resort hotels were flooded.
Atlantic Citys Thomas England
General Hospital, which was under mili-
tary supervision and utilized such promi-
nent buildings as the Traymore, Chalfonte
and Warwick hotels for the necessary
wards, was hit hard by the storm.
According to Atlantic City Answers the
Call to World War II: How It and the
Surrounding Area Contributed to the War
Effort by Marston A. Mischlich, the facil-
ity housed U.S. soldiers from the battle-
fields of Italy and Normandy by the time
the Great Atlantic Hurricane hit this area.
Five feet of water filled the basement of
the main hospital building, depriving the
unit of electricity and food. Similar
instances occurred in the other hospital
facilities, forcing the staff to evacuate
1,000 patients.
Mischlich reports that, with the help of
the Coast Guard, the patients were carried
to ambulances, which then transported
them to a train that would deliver them to
New York medical facilities. By February
1945, residents were still trying to dry out
buildings and remove sand carried in by
the water.
Like the summers derecho, the Great
Atlantic Hurricane caught many residents
off-guard, but for a different reason. As
Kathleen OBriens 2011 Star Ledger article
on past storms explains, radio silence was
necessary because of the possible pres-
ence of German U-boats in the Atlantic
Ocean since World War II was still raging.
Only warning flags flown outside of post
offices and Coast Guard stations signaled
the impending storm. When the hurricane
arrived here shortly after forming on
September 9, it was accompanied by 96-
mile-per-hour winds and cresting waves
of 30 feet before dissipating on September
15 below Greenland.
Over the past three months, this col-
umn has featured an ongoing series exam-
ining the housing of German prisoners of
war in Cumberland County during World
War II, the final installments of which will
run into the next year. Its interesting to
note that OBriens article reports that
German prisoners housed in this area
were utilized in the cleanup operations
following the Great Atlantic Hurricane. In
addition, soldiers from Fort Dix were also
utilized to police various shore points in
order to curb looting and other crimes.
The Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944
poured out its wrath along the coastal
sites, and while the inland areas werent
free of its winds and rains, they faired bet-
ter than the shore. The 1944 storm is now
legend, just as Irene, Sandy and the dere-
cho will enter the lore of the area. It
would be nice if we didnt need to add to
those tales any time soon. I

role as one of the original Montford Point Marines. This is the highest civilian
honor for one of the trailblazing African American recruits that trained in a segre-
gated facility at Camp Lejeune, NC, between 1942-1949. Powering through preju-
dice and with courage and determination, French and the other Montford Point
Marines served our country with pride and unbridled patriotism.
In 1943, French left his job with the US Postal Service to join the Marines.
French stayed at Montford Point from 1943-1946. He was the only black Marine
permitted off base in a USMC truck as a postal clerk.
Despite his efforts, French was never able to rise above the rank of Sergeant due
to military policies that prohibited African-Americans from reaching a higher rank
during that time. That was rectified this past Saturday, November 3, when The
Answer To Cancer Army (TATCA) ceremoniously made French a Five-Star General
in their cause. The ceremony was part of the TATCA Fundraiser Breakfast, which
was held at St. Padre Pio Parishs Rosary Hall on Saturday, raising more than
$5,000 for cancer research.

Are you afraid to get your injections
due to the meningitis cases caused
by contaminated medications?
THERE IS NO NEED TO FEAR. The office
of Dr. Stephen Soloway has never received medications from
the Massachusetts compounding center that has caused this
epidemic. Our injection medications were purchased prior to
June 2012 from a pharmaceutical company in Texas that we
have done business with for years. To be safe we have even
compared our lots to those reported by the CDC and confirmed
that our medications are safe and free of any contaminants.
There is no reason to not get the treatments you need. Please
call our office, conveniently located in Vineland NJ, and sched-
ule your injection today. If you have any concerns or would like
further information please call our office at
855-SOLOWAY (765-6929).

Downtown Vineland { TODD NOON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, VDID / MAINSTREET VINELAND }

Who Doesnt Love a Parade!
Its the most wonderful time of the year, if you like Vinelands Holiday Parade.
Y
es, its that time of the year again! We
have most of our major events behind
us, and we are planning for the grand
finale: the Vineland Main Street Holiday
Parade. The Holiday Parade has been a
Vineland tradition long before a Main Street
or a Vineland Downtown Improvement
District ever existed, and we are proud to
carry on this great tradition.
The parade, sponsored again this year by
Susquehanna Bank, always takes place the
Saturday after Thanksgivingthis year on
November 24 (Sunday, November 25, in case
of inclement weather). We are having it
again this year at the earlier starting time of
5 p.m., so everyone can get home early and
enjoy the rest of the evening.
The theme of the parade this year is
Sounds of the Holidays and, indeed, its a
time when Landis Avenue is filled with the
soundsand the sightsof the holidays.
Bands will fill the air with holiday music.
Schools and organizations will try to outdo
each other with innovative floats, and we
will have a fire truck contest again this year
to see which company can best decorate
their trucks to capture the flavor of the holi-
day season. Andat the very endSanta
Claus will arrive and turn on the holiday
blanket of lights over Landis Avenue. If you
miss it live, you can see the telecast on
Comcast Channel 9 or FiOS Channel 41.
Right now, our parade subcommittee is
hard at work on preparations and we can use
your help.
We need volunteers to help us coordi-
nate it. We need zone captains and people to
work under the zone captains to help get the
parade participants set up in the staging area
on West Landis Avenue. It means attending a
meeting or two to coordinate all of this and
then, on parade day, arriving early to get in
position to get all the participants lined up in
time. More information will be given out at
the meetings.
We are still seeking additional partici-
pants and vendors. Those wanting to be in
the parade or to be a vendor can go to the
Main Street Vineland website where the
rules and regulations can be reviewed.
Vendor applications must be mailed in with
the appropriate fee. Those wanting to be in
the parade can print out an application from
the website, complete it, send it back to us at
the address provided, or e-mail it back to me
at tnoon@vinelandcity.org. We have extend-
ed the registration deadline to this coming
Friday, November 9, to accommodate those
delayed by Hurricane Sandy. No registrations
will be allowed the night of the parade.
While you are thinking about helping out,
keep in mind that we have a great lineup of
events and programs planned for next year.
You can help us get a head start on the plan-
ning by becoming a Main Street Vineland
volunteer. You can come to our regular com-
mittee meetingschoosing one of our stand-
ing committees or all four. If you just want to
help us by volunteering at some events, that
would be fine, as well. Again, just get in
touch with us and we will work with you. I

U.S. Forest Service Waives
Fees on Veterans Day Weekend
The U.S. Forest Service is waiving fees at
most of its day-use recreation sites over the
Veterans Day holiday weekend, November
10-12.
The fee waiversthe fourth this year
are offered in cooperation with other feder-
al agencies under the Federal Lands
Recreation Enhancement Act. Day-use fees
will be waived at all standard amenity fee
sites operated by the Forest Service.
Concessionaire operated day-use sites may
be included in the waiver if the permit
holder wishes to participate.
This is our way of saying thanks to the
brave men and womenpast and present
who put their lives on the line every day to
keep us safe at home, said U.S. Forest
Service Chief Tom Tidwell. We encourage
veterans, their families and all visitors to
take time out over the holiday weekend to
enjoy the benefits that nature provides at
forests and grasslands throughout the
country.
The fee waiver days support the goals of
President Obamas Americas Great
Outdoors initiative and First Lady Michelle
Obamas Lets Move Outside.
Traditionally, fees are not charged on 98
percent of national forests and grasslands,
and approximately two-thirds of developed
recreation sites in national forests and
grasslands can be used for free. Many
recreation opportunities such as camping,
sightseeing and hiking can be enjoyed
throughout the year at no cost.
The Forest Service operates approxi-
mately 17,000 developed recreation sites
nationwide. Of those, approximately 6,000
require recreation fees, which are used to
provide visitor services, repairs and
replacements, and facilities maintenance.
The mission of the Forest Service is to
sustain the health, diversity and productivi-
ty of the nation's forests and grasslands to
meet the needs of present and future gener-
ations. The agency manages 193 million
acres of public land, provides assistance to
state and private landowners, and main-
tains the largest forestry research organiza-
tion in the world. Forest Service lands con-
tribute more than $13 billion to the econo-
my each year through visitor spending
alone. Those same lands provide 20 per-
cent of the nation's clean water supply, a
value estimated at $27 billion per year.
A veteran Marine places a wreath
on the Purple Heart Memorial at
the Vineland Veterans Home
cemetery during last years
Wreaths of Remembrance event.
This years event will be far more
ambitious, as more than 500
wreaths will be laid on December
8 in honor of veterans buried at
the Cumberland County Veterans
Cemetary in Hopewell Township.

This is like dj vu all over again.
Lawrence Yogi Berra
A
nd so, on a second occasion in just
14 months, I found myself barreling
down Route 557 towards Vineland,
outrunning an approaching mael-
strom. This time, it was Sunday, October 28th
just past noon. As per Commissar Christies
mandate, we evacuated our Ocean City domi-
cile, taking a final load of prized possessions,
food and our oh-so-aptly named guinea pig,
A-Poc. (As in Apocalypse in honor of the
soon-to-be-tested Mayan calendar mystery.)
Wed already sent our teenage son, Corgi
canine and another carload up a day prior,
hoping the forecast would improve and spare
us. When it didnt we took CCs admonition
and carefully, deliberately moved.
As an aside, did you happen to catch the
hissy-fit said Guv threw at A.C. Mayor
Lorenzo Langford on national TV regarding
Absecon Island shelters? Or Langfords pos-
tured reply, a swaggering I want to talk the
Governor, mano-a-mano follow-up?
Whichever side you were on, you gotta admit
it made for great theater.
For us, the pair sounded more like a pair of
irate adolescents engaging in Smart Phone
flame war than reasoned, cogent adults. Which
provided the entire incident a sort of morbid,
comic grandeur we couldnt help but relish.
But we digress. Or get ahead of ourselves,
more accurately. Paraphrasing French gas-
tronome Brillat-Savarins famed quote, provi-
sions we packed say a lot about who we are.
Those included two loaves of bread, two
packages of mini Bobolis, a big jar of peanut
butter, apples, tomatoes, prunes, Raisin Bran,
milk, eggs plus chunks of feta and cheddar
cheeses. Anything that either didnt require
cooking or stuff that would spoil in the event
of an extended power outage.
Arriving at my moms Victory Avenue resi-
dence, we posted up in the second story of her
Cape Cod and settled in for a lengthy siege.
I should also mention toting a virgin jug of
Herradura silver tequila, my last bottles of the
Shiner seasonal beer called Ruby Redbird plus
a couple oil cans of Youngs Double Chocolate
Stout. Like I said, a lengthy siege.
Unpacking just moments after us was
moms BFF Robynforced to vacate the
Berrymans Branch mobile communityalong
with her yappy, yet delightful Chihuahua-
cocker mix. That made five people, three dogs
and an agouti guinea pig, safely chirping away
in his basement confines.
By the time of our landfall, the host Eagles
were well into a thorough thrashing adminis-
tered by an excellent Atlanta Falcons squad.
Weather at game time provided a metaphor of
this entire season, starting off cloudy and get-
ting gradually more miserable by the minute.
Needful of football snacks, we placed an
order with Wheat Roads Wild Wings and
ventured out in our trusty Honda Element.
The skies were dismal and a cold, harsh rain
now steady and intractable.
That evening, placated with agave fruit and
plenty of poultry, I drifted into an uneasy
sleep. Monday pretty much started off where
Sunday leftwindy, damp and ominous. My
lovely bride and I wanted both fresh air and
hearty breakfast. We happily found the latter
at Main Roads Larrys II; hers a huge omelet
of mushroom, tomato and cheddar and mine a
combo of over easy eggs, home frieswith the
addition of peppers and onion, sagely suggest-
ed by our serverTaylor pork roll and rye toast.
Later, despairing of my boredom, and our
modest houses now-critical mass of mammals,
I departed to visit lifelong friend Big Dave
Colomy, at his familial compound in Newfield.
Some might think this rain-soaked misad-
venture foolish, to which I say Pshaw!
Lounging in his subterranean man-cave, I
savored a cup of strong black coffee and his
moms amazing cranberry/apple/schnapps
bread while we watched a History Channel
program about early American distilling and
pontificated on the upcoming NBA season.
Heading home in advance of a mandatory
4 p.m. curfew, I barely negotiated a nasty
hydroplaning incident on Northwest
Boulevard near Wheat. Undaunted, upon
reaching Park, I turned back west, in pursuit
of more victuals.
Landis Avenue was positively eerie, no
cars, no stores, streets empty. We half expect-
ed to see zombies wandering War Memorial
Park at the railroad crossing.
And then, like a beacon we reached East
Avenue and spotted the lights of Crown Fried
Chicken. Yes! They were open and well
stocked with crunchy delights, despite water
already pouring in through glass doors.
I only wish I could have recorded the puz-
zled look on the proprietors face as I entered,
clad in khaki green military jacket. It was
equal parts Thank God someone is actually
here and This guy has to be out of his mind,
better keep the handgun close! Packing up
grub, I carefully maneuvered the final, flooded
blocks of our main thoroughfare.
Tuesday broke clearer, but via recorded

message, The City of Ocean City made it
imminently clear that return to our homes
would have to wait until at least Wednesday.
Fully infected by Cabin Fever, that after-
noon, my wife and I headed to a matinee of
the epic new film Cloud Atlas at the
Cumberland Mall. Without revealing too
much, all we can say is, its going to be one
helluva race between it and The Dark Knight
Rises for Best Picture next February. Its one
of the finest efforts this film-degreed colum-
nist has witnessed in a long, long time.
Leaving the theater, skies were dark and
chilly, as the coldest night in six months tight-
ened its grip. Pulling into the driveway, a tan-
talizing aroma of gravymeaning our family
recipe Bolognese-style tomato saucewafted
invitingly. Nothing quite like a comforting
bowl of steamy spaghetti and meatballs to
shake off lingering storm-related trauma.
Wednesday afternoon, after wading
through a 30-minute queue near Route 9 in
Marmora, we arrived to find our home safe,
sound, dry and with power.
We wish the same could be said of others, as
much of the shore has been devastated beyond
words. My sole consolation is knowing that
this was The Big One, that once-in-a-century
stormwe had been overdue for since 1944 or
62, depending upon your personal chronology.
And safe in the firm belief that we Jersey
shore dwellersand residents of our state in
generalare among the hardiest, most
resilient folks to be found anywhere. I

original recipe, and my healthier remix ver-
sion. These are very soft, cakelike cookies,
that have a very good flavor, and delicious
aroma as they bake. Im including detailed
healthy ingredients in my re-mix recipe due

ers expressing great interest in healthier and
organic products. Either way, I hope that you
give these tasty cookies a try, they are a
wonderful autumnal treat!

f you have been affected by Superstorm
Sandy, or you have had trouble making
your mortgage payments for other
reasons, you need to know about the New
Jersey HomeKeepers Program.
Im really excited to tell you about a
tremendous program thats been designed
specifically to help NewJersey homeowners
who are behind in their mortgage payments.
What if I told you that New Jersey has
about $200 million available to help
homeowners not only catch up on their
mortgage arrears but to also help them
make their future mortgage payments?
Let me give you a very specific example
how we were able to help some clients of
ours who were in jeopardy of losing their
homes to foreclosure. I represent a very
nice couple that fell on hard times. The
husband had been out of work, and they
had missed about 20 mortgage payments.
Thats right, they were almost two
years behind in their mortgage, and they
hardly had any money coming in. It
seemed like they were doomed, and that
they were destined to lose their home to a
sheriffs sale. They had pretty much given
up all hope.
When they came to see us, they were
really desperate. But then we told them
that no matter how bad things seemed to
appear, we thought we could help them.
We told them about the New Jersey
HomeKeepers Program and this is a
program we want every New Jersey
homeowner to know about.
I really want to spread the word about
this program because the purpose of the
program is to help New Jersey homeown-
ers stay in their homes, and it doesnt mat-
ter if you're $20,000, $30,000, or even
$40,000 behind in your mortgage pay-
ments. New Jersey actually has plenty of
money available to help homeowners pay
their mortgage arrears.
My clients mortgage payments were
about $1,600 a month, and they were
$31,000 behind. So heres what happened.
We applied for the program, and in about
three months they were approved, and
heres what that means. The State of New
Jersey has paid my clients mortgage
arrears of $31,000thats right, the state
actually paid $31,000 to the mortgage
companyand now my clients are up to
date in their mortgage payments.
Its like a miracle. But wait, theres more.
The State of New Jersey has promised
to pay my clients mortgage of $1,600 per
month for the next 11 months, so for
almost the next year, my clients dont have
to worry about how theyre going to make
their next mortgage payments. So when
all is said and done, the state of New
Jersey will have paid about $48,000 of my
clients' mortgage payments.
And thats not the end of the story.
Heres the best part. My clients wont have
to pay back even one penny of that
$48,000 as long as they stay in their home
long term. So this is like getting free
money from the state of New Jersey.
Have you ever heard anything like this
before? Free money to help you save your
home from foreclosure?
So how would you like us to help you
get some free money to pay your mortgage
arrears and also to pay some of your
future mortgage payments?
Now, the reality is that this money isnt
going to be there forever, so if youre behind
in your mortgage payments, nowis the time
to take action. Nowis the time to see us, and
let us help you get qualified for the New
Jersey HomeKeeper Program before the
money runs out and before its too late.
So whether you are a victim of
Superstorm Sandy or whether there are
other reasons you havent been able to pay
your past mortgage, or you envision prob-
lems paying your future mortgage pay-
ments, the New Jersey HomeKeeper
Program could be a great blessing for you
and your family. I

neighborhood, theres something local
from South Jersey and Underwood, said
Kaletkowski. We have over 60 delivery
sitesif you will. Either outpatient sites or
hospitals or physician practices or other
types of places like that. You dont have to
travel very far. You can stay in your area
and have that type of service.
But aside from being able to provide
local care to a larger array of individuals in
southern New Jersey, another major bene-
fit for the merger will be the ability of the
two organizations to counsel each other on
different facets of medical care. They both
have differing strengths and areas of
expertise, which will now be shared.
For example, weve got a comprehen-
sive community cancer center here at
[SJHC]. Its a one-stop. We feel we need
one of those up in the Woodbury area.
Thats an expertise we can bring to the
folks in Gloucester County, said
Kaletkowski. Underwood has an excellent
reputation for cardiology. They have a
higher level than we do. So they can help
us with the residents down here. The fact
that the providers are virtually the same
were not changing thatso you can still
see your local doctors, your local hospitals.
I dont see any major change there. But
well benefit from each others strengths.
Another plus will be the ability of the
now larger network to draw in top talent
and specialists renowned in their chosen
field.
You can spread the cost associated
with bringing in high-level specialists over
a larger network. What we hope to do, by
virtue of coming together, we can go out
and recruit certain specialists that we
couldnt do alone. We can bring in some
higher level services, which will be a posi-
tive, said Kaletkowski.
I do want to emphasize the size of this
new health system in terms of beds and
employees and employee physicians, said
Cardile. Sometimes I think numbers speak
loudly: Its over 700 beds. Thats a large
health system, about 5,000 employees, 75
employee physicians, 150 collective resi-
dency programs. So it has a very large pres-
ence, a very large footprint and a very good
storyline. The new resources will be a ben-
efit to drawing in talent.
Well be third in South Jersey-area
rankings among hospitals, said
Kaletkowski.
Despite this massive combination of
resources, the two organizations were
quick to assure that the staffs would not be
affected in any way.
By coming together, we do not see lay-
offs, we do not see reduction in work-
force, said Kaletkowski. I keep telling all
of our managers that if we want this to be a
successful motion, we need all the talent
we have right now. Our system has enjoyed
a market share increase, which means
increased volumes. So if anything, well
need more people in the future to meet the
increased demands. This merger means
potential for new jobs. This is a growth
strategy.
Added Galetto: I think its important to
note that weve seen hospitals close. This
was not a merger because there was a des-
perate partner that needed a rescue plan.
This was a merger of two healthy organiza-
tions to maintain better organization. We
feel, as boards, that we are good stewards
of the assets that have been accumulated
by our forefathers over the years. This is
the best way going forward for those assets
to service our communities. What were
hoping for is that our community members
can have better healthcare, closer to home.
And thats the way we can best serve our
communities.
Part of the growth strategy includes
updating some of the facilities that will
now be part of the new joint healthcare
system, which is expected to be renamed
and rebranded sometime in early 2013.
Part of this agreement was that we
would advance $30 million dollars into the
Underwood campus and other ancillary
sites, said Kaletkowski. Thats the com-
mitment going forward. We recognize we
need to make some upgrades in some of
the facilities. [The board at Underwood]
also have additional services that they had
on board that they want to implement,
which I think are wonderful for the com-
munity.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of
this merger is the fact that both sides were
very quick to point to healthcare reform
and the Affordable Care Act as a reason
why they decided to pool their resources.
With new procedures and new standards
in healthcare, as well as a change in how
healthcare organizations will be getting
paid going forward, the merger made a lot
of sense.
Reform is really setting the frame-
workI mean, we were going to do this
anyway with no reform because it makes a
lot of sense. But it makes even more sense
now with reform as the backdrop, said
Kaletkowski. It changes entirely how we
get paid for certain types of patients in
Medicaid.
Im on the CMS Internet site, and
theyre constantly putting out broadcasts
for demonstration projects for willing hos-
pitals. Theyre constantly throwing out dif-
ferent opportunities for hospitals and sys-
tems like ours to work with them. Its great
that we now have a partner. The other part
is, Underwood has already been involved in
a couple of demonstrations, we were pre-
pared to get involved. So we can learn from
best practices from both organizations.
Reform is here. How we get paidclinical
immigration is critical. Its how you take
your physicians and your hospitals and sort
of realign them in a new model to provide
care in this new world. Were not there yet.
But they want to provide more care at a
lower costmore value. The payers want
more value. We think by positioning in this
partnership, well be in a better position to
deliver that new model, said Kaletkowski.
We would have loved to remain a
standalone community hospital for the
next 100 yearswe were for 100 yearsand
it would have been great, said Michael
McLaughlin, chairman of the UMH Board
of Trustees. But with healthcare reform,
all those initiatives that are going on, how
its going to affect the hospitals, its time
and youll see more of it out therefor hos-
pitals to join together, to be one, to serve
the communities that they need to. Theres
just too much pressure on standalone,
smaller hospitals. All around the country
youre going to see a lot more of it. So this
is just the beginning. Weve talked about
that as a board. Maybe were the start.
Were perfect together, said
Kaletkowski. We both have strengths, and
we think together those things will make
both of us that much stronger, both finan-
cially and from a clinical standpoint. I {

Vineland Camera Club Shoots Maine
Lobster for breakfast, lunch and dinner was the norm for nine members of the
Photographic Society of Vineland Camera Club when they recently traveled to
Maine for a photo adventure. The trip was organized by club member, Tom Holding
of Millville. Holding
organized a Maine
trip in 2000 and he
and Claire Lelli,
Vineland, were the
only two returning
members for this one.
Transportation for
the nine was a 15-
passenger van. A row
of seats was
removed to store all
the luggage, and,
most important,
camera equipment
and tripods.
Maine is a place where subject matter and photos are everywhere from close
ups, to harbor and nautical scenes to vast coastal scenics. The days were long,
beginning a half-hour before sunrise when members, with their flashlights,
scrambled to be on the wet and
rugged coastal rocks to catch the first
light of the day on the lighthouses.
The days ended with sunset photogra-
phy, a meal and sleep.
There are more than 60 lighthous-
es along Maines craggy Down East
peninsulas. Portland Head was the
groups first one to photograph. The
photo tour visited Portland, New
Harbor/Pemaquid, Port Clyde,
Rockland/Rockport, Stonington, Bar
Harbor and the Acadia National Park.
The trip circled back to Cape Neddick
area at weeks end to photograph the
stormy Nubble Lighthouse. Many
great photos and experiences were
accomplished.
Weather conditions played an
important part in the venture and on
one day, when the morning was over-
cast, the group visited a winery on the
outskirts of Rockport. Lunch and wine
tasting resulted in several members
purchasing and sending bottles of wine home. The wine tasting also resulted in
a fun group shot on colorful pastel painted Adirondack chairs.

bringing the joy of musical theatre to area senior
complexes. Residents at Genesis Healthcare on Sharp
Street in Millville and Jaycee Plaza off High Street in
Millville were blessed with some of the musical num-
bers from the show.
Lead cast member Julia Fumo portraying Annie sang solo numbers that brought
tears to the eyes of those watching and a smile on every face. The orphan ensem-
ble danced and sang their way to resounding applause from the crowd of more
than 30 residents.
Wearing their new Annie t-shirts the cast grinned from ear to ear knowing they
were bringing musical theatre to those who might not otherwise be able to attend
the regularly scheduled performances. Several residents were excited at the possi-
bility of attending the performance as a group and were eager to see the full pro-
duction; however, some residents are unable to make the trip and were ecstatic at
being able to catch a glimpse of the production.

Spreading Love With Boxes and Baths
Boxes and baths were front and center at The Ellison School last week as
Interact Club members completed their first two service projects of the new
school year.
The week began with building "Boxes of Love"shoe-box-sized plastic bins
filled to the brim with items requested by the children who live at Armando
Rosenberg Orphanage in Santo Domingo. The boxes will arrive in time for
Christmas, along with a supply of food donated by area Rotary Clubs.
Later in the week, club members traveled to the Cumberland County SPCA,
where they met some very furry friends. The students washed dogs, brushed and
combed cats, and gave lots of love to the many animals that were getting
spruced up for an adoption event. These service projects are two of many that
Ellison Interact Club members will perform this year. Youth-sized versions of
Rotary Clubs, Interact Clubs are formed to teach the importance of service learn-
ing to children as young as 10 years old.
Ellison's Interact Club is the first to form at the middle school level in this
Rotary District and was chartered by the Rotary Club of Vineland.
It was "all hands on dog" for this bath as students work together to make this adorable
dog squeaky clean. This bath bunch includes, from left: CJ Ottinger of Vineland,
Madison Rudolph of Vineland, Jenna Troyano of Buena, Jake Ottinger of Vineland, Jake
Walters of Vineland, SPCA Volunteer Amanda, and Paxton Antonucci of Mays Landing.

Students Interpret Picassos Art
At Sacred Heart High School, part of the Spanish IV curriculum includes cov-
ering the history of Spanish art and artists. As part of this unit, the works of
Pablo Picasso were recently studied.
In an attempt to have a better appreciation for the work of Pablo Picasso,
students were given blank copies of a few of his masterpieces. Using their artis-
tic abilities, students were required to interpret, color, and write a dedication of
the painting in Spanish. The students were judged by the Head of School, Dr.
Albert Monillas, and Guidance Counselor, Sister Margaret Curcio. The winners of
the contest were Ashley Gonzalez, Zachary Donato, and Elizabeth Riordan.
From left: (back row) Elizabeth Riordan, Ashley Gonzalez, Zachary Donato, Dylan
Pierson, Theodore Mercurio, and Kevin Allen; (front row) Colette Orlandini, Amanda
Burich and Ivy Vinnick.

OLMA Students Inspired By Donna Lee
Donna Lee, a
well known
Catholic singer
and songwriter
visited Our Lady
of Mercy
Academy to per-
form for the stu-
dents and share
her personal
story with them.
Lee has recorded
several albums
of mostly origi-
nal music and has performed all over the U.S. and in 13 different countries.
Besides sharing her inspirational music with the students, Lee told them of her
life, beginning life as a Catholic, falling out of practice, and coming back into the
church. She also shared with them the story of her abortion and her path back
to God, forgiveness and salvation. Many students were moved to tears by Lees
performance and were inspired by her personal story.
From left: Seniors Sam Robins, Giuliana Campo, Devon Donaghy, Abby Zee, and Anne
Brewer spend time with Donna Lee after her performance.
Students Pack Lunches for Needy
Cumberland Christian Schools STEP
mentors of the student body packed
lunches for the ministry of Spirit and
Truth in Vineland. Students prayed for
the recipients of the lunches that they
packed that their physical, as well as
spiritual needs would be met.
Matt Hilton of Sicklervill and Precious
Bryant of Franklinville enjoy being able to
minister to folks less fortunate.

SOUTHERN NEW JERSEYS BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS NEWSLETTER Serving Cumberland, Salem, Atlantic, Cape May and Gloucester Counties
News

T
he Annual Cumberland County /
Tri-Chamber Business Expo fea-
tured the Cumberland County
Economic Development Report, business
success stories and great information for
you. With the theme The Future Its
Everybodys Business! the Expo was held
at the Cumberland County Colleges
Luciano Conference Center on Thursday,
November 1, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Business Success Stories were presented
by Lets Do Linens and Fat K Designs,
Merighi's Savoy Inn, and Mitchell
Products. These are three very different
companies that have a great story to tell,
and I think this is the perfect opportunity
to share some good news about success
here in Cumberland County, especially in
this very difficult economic climate, said
Freeholder Liaison Tony Surace.
The first business to be featured was
introduced by Freeholder Director Carl
Kirstein. Arvene Kilby, owner of Lets Do
Linens and Fat K Designs discussed her
companys development, outgrowing sever-
al smaller locations before settling into their
current location on Commerce Street in
Bridgeton. Lets Do Linens provides table-
cloth linen rentals, along with a wholesale
rental inventory of napkins, squares, ban-
quets, rounds, overlays, chair covers, etc.
Next, Freeholder Surace introduced a
man he once coached in Millville, Dave
Mitchell from Mitchell Products. Mitchell
talked about his leap of faith in quitting a
solid job in order to start up his business. He
is proud that his business provides products
used by the top-tier golf and sports facilities
in the country from his office headquarters
on Main Street in Millville.
Finally, Freeholder Sam Fiocchi intro-
duced Tom Merighi, Jr., the third-generation
operator of Merighis Savoy Inn on East
Landis Avenue in Vineland. Merighi spoke
about the rigors of running a restaurant and
catering business and the need to continu-
ously innovate to stay competitive after
nearly 60 years. He discussed the renova-
tions he has made, including adding a grand
entrance and patio to the ballroom, an out-
door Savoy Gardens area for weddings
and special events, a solar field, and most
recently, Lunas Outdoor Bar & Grill, which
just closed after a successful first season.
In addition to the success stories, the
morning was highlighted by breakout ses-
sions focusing on Wellness in the
Workplace (presented by South Jersey
Healthcare) and Avoid Smoke Damage
this Season (presented by Servpro
Cumberland County).
There were also a number of vendors
on hand to share their information with
attendees. The event began with a
Continental breakfast at 8 a.m. in the
George P. Luciano Sr. Family Center for
Public Service and Leadership at the
Cumberland County College.
This event was presented by
Cumberland County Government and the
Bridgeton Area, Greater Millville and
Greater Vineland Chambers of Commerce,
and made possible through the generous
support of the Cumberland/Salem
Workforce Investment Board and
Compassionate Care Hospice.

Welcome Message
We survived Hurricane Sandy and
we are so fortunate in Vineland com-
pared to many other New Jersey com-
munities. In the coming months we will
be offering whatever assistance we can
through our chamber community in
those areas that were not so lucky. I will
keep the membership informed as to
anything we may be able to do to help.
The 2nd Annual Cumberland County
/ Tri-Chamber Business Expo was held
November 1st. This was a successful
collaboration between the county eco-
nomic development office and the three
area chambers of commerce. Our goal
was to provide a venue for promoting
area businesses,
highlight busi-
ness success sto-
ries and offer
educational sem-
inars. We are
grateful to our
sponsors, pre-
senters, vendors
and volunteers
for all their support and involvement.
Its incredible that we are already at
the time of the year to wish you a very
Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
Get involved, Get connected and
Come Grow With Us!

David Rivera of Caliber Construction
has recently renewed his membership for
his one-year anniversary with the Greater
Vineland Chamber Of Commerce.
When asked what value the GVCC
brought to his business, David said, Im a
member of the GVCC because of the
referrals and clients it brings, along with
up-to-date information about the local
community.
We do it all. said David. Because
we do everything exterior and interior,
clients only have to deal with one con-
tractor instead of multiple. Our price is
also a lot more affordable compared to
others in the area.
Caliber Construction offers a wide
variety of services that range from siding
and roofing, to flooring and painting.
They also offer landscaping services such
as lawn cutting, irrigation systems, and
fencing. More information can be found
at www.davescaliber.com or by calling
David Rivera at 856-364-5133.

M
embers, here is some impor-
tant information for you
regarding the changes in our
healthcare laws. There are countless
ways the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
will impact small and large businesses.
Here are eight points that you should be
thinking about now.
1. Summary of Benefits (SBC).
Beginning with the next open enroll-
ment period, employers must distribute
an SBC for most group health plans. The
SBC is a uniform disclosure of the mate-
rial terms and provisions of a plan that
is intended to allow employees to com-
pare different plan offerings. The con-
tent requirements are very detailed and
will likely require the assistance of an
employer's insurance carrier or third-
party administrator.
2. W-2 reporting of value of employ-
er provided health benefits. Beginning
with the 2012 W-2 forms distributed by
employers in 2013, many employers
will be required to report the total cost
of group health plan coverage provided
to an employee, if any. This cost is not
taxable.
3. FSA Limits. Employee contribu-
tions to FSAs will be limited to $2,500
in 2013. Cafeteria plans should be
amended to reflect this change before
January 1, 2013.
4. Employer Penalty. Businesses with
more than 50 full-time equivalent
employees could face penalties if they
fail to make affordable coverage avail-
able to workers beginning in 2014. If a
firm fails to offer "minimum essential
coverage," they could face fines ranging
from $2,000 to $3,000 per worker. It is
very important for employers to start
modeling how this mandate will affect
their bottom line. Firms with fewer than
50 workers are exempt.
5. Automatic Enrollment. Most
employers with more than 200 employ-
ees will be required to automatically
enroll new employees who are eligible
for group health coverage. Rather than
having to affirmatively elect health cov-
erage, the default will be for employers
to automatically enroll an eligible
employee who fails to opt out. This type
of enrollment is shown to increase plan
participation and will likely lead to high-
er plan subsidy costs for employers.
Implementation has been delayed while
regulations are developed. It is expected
that the law will begin to be applied in
2014 or shortly thereafter.
6. Insurance Exchange. Small firms
will be able to purchase coverage
through state-based "exchanges," begin-
ning in 2014. A Health Insurance
Exchange is a mechanism for organizing
the health insurance marketplace to help
consumers and small businesses shop for
coverage in a way that permits easy
comparison of available plan options
based on price, benefits and services,
and quality. New Jersey must decide
whether to operate its own health insur-
ance exchange, join a multi-state
exchange, or let the federal government
implement a regional exchange. The new
exchanges may provide more competi-
tionand potentially lower prices. It is
believed that by pooling people together,
reducing transaction costs, and increas-
ing transparency coverage may be more
affordable.
7. Small Employer Tax Credit. Most
provisions of the federal Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act
won't kick in for several years. But small
businesses can look forward to some
quick reliefa tax credit to offset insur-
ance premiums took effect immediately.
To get the credit, a business must have
fewer than 25 full-time workers or the
equivalent (the hours worked by part-
timers count), pay an average annual
wage of less than $50,000, and cover at
least half the cost of health insurance
premiums for their workers.
8. New Nondiscrimination
Requirements. Most group plans are
now prohibited from favoring highly
paid employees. If an employer's plan
fails to satisfy this requirement, the
employer will be subject to a significant
financial penalty. Implementation has
been delayed while regulations are
developed. It is expected that the law
will begin to be applied in 2014 or short-
ly thereafter. Companies offering differ-
ent plans, eligibility periods or premium
subsidies to different groups of employ-
ees may need to adjust their offering to
comply with the new nondiscrimination
requirements.
At WheatonArts This
Month
Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center will
offer a variety of holiday themed pro-
grams, workshops and intensives work-
ing with hot glass, and a variety of inter-

Route 55 Self Storage
Going Green
By Brian Harris / GVCC
Route 55 Self Storage has recently turned green
with its installation of 80 solar panels spanning four buildings. Route 55 Self
Storage is located at 4281 S. Lincoln Avenue in Vineland and has continued to
grow over the past 10 years.
Equity Investment purchased Route 55 Self Storage on March 1, 2012 because it
was attracted to the use of solar panels and the businesss efforts of going green.
The solar panels provide enough solar energy to cover the costs of utilities
while generating an extra 36 to 48 credits per year. These extra credits will allow
expansion in future years.
The reason we invested in Route 55 Self Storage is because of the solar panels
return on investment and the ability to expand. We were also attracted because of
zero utility cost, says Randall P. Mosca, director/CFO of Equity Investment.
Equity Investment has taken extra measures for going green and helping the
environment. Green is our objective. Weve also utilized our website and social
media to eliminate paper, says Mosca.
Route 55 Self Storage offers many services including a wide variety of unit
sizes, RV and boat storage, and package and delivery services. More details can be
found at www.55selfstorage.com or by calling 856-327-5500.
We will be having a joint meeting of the Green and Legislative Committees on
Tuesday, December 4 at 8:30 a.m.
