Sweden Comes
to New Sweden
Community activists planning farmstead revival
host students from Eskilstuna, Sweden.
arlier this month, on March 9, two high-school-level exchange stu-

E dents visiting Bridgeton from Eskilstuna, Sweden, were guests of a

group of local and regional activists working to revive the New Sweden
Colonial Farmstead in Bridgeton City Park as a heritage tourism attraction.
They were joined by students and faculty from Bridgeton High School.
Following introductions at the David Sheppard House (Rutgers
University's Cousteau Center at Bridgeton), the students learned more
about the role of their own town of Eskilstuna and other Swedish cities in
the creation of this “virtual” farmstead, a role that actually inspired the
exchange program. They then made their way to the farmstead, an open-
air “living history” museum in Bridgeton City Park.
The museum site was launched in 1988 to mark the arrival of the first On the New Sweden Colonial Farmstead, from left: Bridgeton City Councilman Dennis Thompson (City Liaison);

Love
Languages
Parenting—and married life—is easier when
everyone has a tank full of love.
W
ho knew that the words par-
enting and easier could land in
the same sentence? “Parenting
can be the most challenging
task we ever face,” says Ken Corson, Wallace
Middle School health and social services coor-
dinator. “Over my 12 years of working as a
school social worker, many parents have shared
the following statement with me: ‘I’ve tried
everything to help my child and nothing works.’
Year after year, I meet with kids who don’t care
about school and have a lack a respect for their
parents and teachers. The root to many of these
situations is an empty love tank.”
Corson spoke several weeks ago at Wallace’s
media center on “The Five Love Languages.”
“Each child expresses and receives love best
through one of five different communication
styles,” he said, and added that this can work
against a parent who speaks a different pri-
mary love language (or PLL) than their child.
Hmm…five languages, five people in our
household. I was already connecting the dots
and thinking that the five of us probably each
speak a different love language. I’ve especially
noticed this with our twin boys. Neither is as
affectionate as our daughter, but one will some-
times initiate affection (I’ve learned to wait for
that cue), while the other has a bubble around
his personal space. I’ve wondered whether my
bubble boy feels loved as much as the others.
So I was interested in finding out what the
five love languages are and the PLL of each
family member. Here they are, as outlined by
Corson, and in the book, The 5 Love Languages,
by Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell.
• Words of Affirmation: Right from the start,
our offspring may not understand the concept
of love, but they will receive the emotional mes-
sage by the tone of your voice and gentleness of
your mood. Later on, praise, encouragement,
and guidance can be added to help give a posi-
tive message. If this is your PLL, encourage-
ment means the world to you; insults leave you
shattered and are not easily forgotten.
• Quality Time: Being there for this type of per-
son is critical, but really being there—with the
TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and
tasks on standby. Distractions, postponed dates,
or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful.
Finding time is harder as kids get older; try eat-
ing dinner together, overnight trips, etc.
• Receiving Gifts: What kid doesn’t like pres-
ents, but this is where we need to be careful
that our presents do not substitute for our
presence. This is a trap for many absent,
working, and single parents. If your child
speaks this language, he or she thrives on
everyday gestures. Gifts should be uncondi-
tional, not given as a bribe or for doing a
chore. Gifts can be handmade, unexpected,
presented in a unique way, even chosen
together as the child gets older.
• Acts of Service: Can vacuuming the floors
really be an expression of love? Absolutely!
Anything you do to ease the burden weighing
on a person who speaks this language will
speak volumes. And let’s face it, it’s a critical
way we as parents show and nurture love to
our offspring. Be careful, though, to make
service age-appropriate. Making the bed for a
4-year-old is appropriate, but 8-year-olds can
make their own bed. College students need to
know how to do their own laundry, so as a
child is ready, teach them to serve themselves.
• Physical Touch: All kids need this—just
keep in mind that the hugs and kisses, cuddles
and hand-holding you bestow upon your
infant or toddler need to be adjusted as they
grow to school age (hugs in morning and
before bed, wrestling, high-fives) and to be
teenagers (hugs and kisses away from peers,
pats on the back).
When I got home after Corson’s presenta-
WWW.GRAPEVINENEWSPAPER.COM |
tion, each member of our family took the
online assessment. Beforehand, I thought I
had everyone pegged and I was eager to see if
my instincts were right. Well, what I thought
was each one’s PLL did come in as a close sec-
ond, but every one of us “scored” quality time
as his/her PLL. So we do speak the same lan-
guage! And, no matter how much the kids tell
me they’d rather be playing online solitaire or
video games on the iPhone, they do appreci-
ate family movie nights, meals eaten together,
family vacations, and bike rides together.
“In order for kids to reach their full poten- the grapevine { 3 }
tial, they need to feel loved,” Corson conclud-
ed. “Parents need to keep each child’s love
tank overflowing.”
It’s what the world needs now. I

 I Letters to the Editor
Open Letter to Mayor Romano
I've been patiently waiting for your
response to Governor Christie's proposal
to shut down the Vineland Developmental
Center.
Have you thought about how this pro-
posal will affect the city of Vineland's
economy?
You are spending thousands of tax dol-
lars to revitalize Downtown Vineland.
This is an excellent step to bring Vineland
back to the great thriving city of the past.
If Christie's proposal goes through,
Vinelanders will not be able to stroll down
the sidewalks of Landis Avenue, much less
spend their money.
I've read your comment stating that
you will write a letter to Governor
Christie. This is definitely not enough.
More importantly, have you considered
the devastating impact this will have on
the residents of the Vineland
Developmental Center, most of whom
have resided at this facility all of their
lives? This drastic change will be detri-
mental to their progress and growth. Also,
let's not forget the horrendous impact this
will have on their families.
Not only will this proposal affect the
residents and their families, but also the
2000 workers who will then be unem-
ployed. This in turn will cause added
stress to the unemployment rolls.
I trust you will aggressively represent
your constituents and the Vineland
Developmental Community to urge the
Governor to rescind his proposal.

History of Temperance Movement,
Welch’s Grape Juice and 1st United
Methodist Church are Interwoven
I enjoy reading The Grapevine and espe-
cially the articles on the history and for-
mation of the City of Vineland. One of the
blessings of the United Methodist itiner-
ant system is moving to a new place and
learning about the rich culture and history
of the people that we are entrusted to
serve. As March is Women’s History
Month, I appreciated the focus of the
Vineland Temperance Union and its work
by the WCTU [Women’s Christian
Temperance Union]. First United
Methodist Church, then known as the
Methodist Episcopal Church, also played
an important role in its commitment to
the temperance movement. Dr. Thomas B.
Welch, the creator of Welch’s Grape Juice,
was asked to be the communion steward
at the Methodist Church and at first he
declined due to the use of wine. He was
encouraged to create an alternative to
alcohol and after much experimentation,
developed an unfermented wine that was
palatable. Welch’s Grape Juice is still
being used for communion in the United
Methodist Church and the story has
spread around the world. It was wonder-
ful to hear a tour guide in Israel make ref-
erence to Vineland when explaining the
use of grape juice for communion. We do
indeed have a rich and diverse history;
don’t forget to include the churches of our
city to share our historical stories.
—Jeanette M. Block, Pastor
First United Methodist Church

Pastor Richard Myers, after being
an evangelist for many years, was
called to pastor New Life Outreach
ministries, located behind Lowes
in Union Crossing Center in
Millville. He started out with 75
members in 1986 and now has a
membership of 500-plus mem-
bers. "He has been an inspiration
in the community for his out-
reach," stated Mayor of Millville
Tim Shannon on March 20. Also
presented were the three founding
ladies of the church—Ruth Todd, Jean Keller and Esther Mcdonald.
State Senator Jeff Van Drew and Assemblymen Nelson Albano and Matt
Milam honored Pastor Richard Myers with official resolutions. They as well indi-
cated the inspiration he has been to their lives. In honor of the 25th Anniversary,
Gospel singers Johnny and Brenda Lowrance came from Tennessee (Turning
Point Church) and provided several songs in dedication of the pastor's service
and victory. Festivities included clowns, flags from different countries and ladies
doing an African dance as well as the 25th Anniversary sign exploding confetti.
Ending the service, Pastor Glen Harvey of House of Restoration prayed for this
victorious triumph. Following the service, there was an Anniversary dinner, which
took place at Centerton Country Club. For more information about the services,

Women Donate to "Bras for a Cause"

The future president of the Millville Woman’s Club joined more than two dozen
women who have donated to the Bras With Attitude/Bras For a Cause. Four-year-
old Oliva Marie Zavacki, daughter of Dawn and Roger Zavacki, presented a bra to
club member Donna Ritchie. This endeavor is a part of the state club’s organiza-
tion for Gilda’s Club, which is a charity to help people with cancer in the state.
The bras are on
display at Bogart’s
Bookstore on High
Street through the
month of March
and winners will
be announced on
Friday, April 1 from
7 to 9 p.m. when
the collections of
money votes are
counted. There will
be a band per-
forming, also. See
the whole display
until then by stop-
ping in and “vot-
ing” for the worth-
while cause.

 Resist Planting Too Early

Home and
Two weeks ago, we experienced a typical
early spring week. Sunny, 75 degrees; so
let’s start planting! Then, Mother Nature
gives us a wake-up call of 45 degrees and
windy! Almost like winter. We can’t wait to
get started. Daffodils are blooming; pansy

Garden plants are at the garden centers. Don’t be

fooled into rushing the planting season.
Yes, there are cool weather crops you can
plant now such as peas, radishes, lettuce,
cabbage, spinach, etc; but choose wisely to
avoid a costly mistake.
Okay, you have prepared the ground for
your garden, and are ready to get going!
Before you start, have you planned what
you want to plant, and more importantly,
checked when it should be planted? To
maximize space, early crops can be plant-
ed, harvested and the next crop planted if
you pay attention to planting times and
“days to harvest.” Plant carrots and radish-
es in the same row. Radishes will germinate
in 10 to 12 days when soil temperature is 50
degrees, while carrots take 18 days. You
will harvest the radishes in three to four
weeks while the carrots will take eight to
10 weeks before you harvest. As you pull
out the radishes, you will be thinning the
carrots and giving them room to grow to
full size. The Rutgers Extension Service

dowsill or under a fluorescent grow light.
Don’t start seeds too early. Follow the
directions as to when to start seeds with
the last frost date in mind. In our area, it’s
about May 10 to 15.
Don’t think that you will have an earlier
crop if you start seeding earlier. If you start
your tomatoes too soon, the plants may be
big enough but the soil might be too cold,
causing the plants to stress or die. Short
plants with a good root system will outper-
form the tall spindly ones. If your plants
are getting too tall, give them more light.
Get them closer to the fluorescent or win-
dow. Tomatoes need 16 hours of light a day.
The garden centers have starter kits
consisting of a flat, pots, growing medium,
and a clear plastic dome that acts like a
mini greenhouse. Very effective for the
homeowner to start seeds. When seeding,
consider how many plants you really need.
Consider staggering your seeding so that
you have a later crop or share extra seeds
with your neighbor. No home gardener
needs a dozen zucchini plants!
This might be the time to try a raised
bed garden using the “square foot garden-
ing method.” It is simply making a raised
bed out of 2x6 lumber, creating a 4x4 or
4x8 box; filling it with a weed-free growing
mix; and planting everything in square foot
blocks. Small plants like radishes fill the
block with 16 plants, beets with nine, leaf
lettuce with four, and large plants like

water loss so less time is spent watering.
According to surveys of homeowners,
the average conventional single row garden
measures 20 feet wide by 35 feet long,
which equals 700 square feet. To grow the
same amount of produce, a Square Foot
Garden will need only 20 percent of that
growing space or 140 square feet. That’s
quite a difference. For more information
get a copy of All New Square Foot
Gardening by Mel Bartholomew. You might
find it at the library, or a friend may have a
copy you can borrow. This is one of the
best gardening books you will read. It cov-
ers many different topics.

Okay, enough with the veggies; what
about flowers and shrubs! Well, here are
some things to do in March.
• Pinch off early buds from developing
pansies to encourage plants to branch and
form more buds.
• Check your stored bulbs, tubers, and
corms. Discard any that are soft or dis-
eased.
• Repot and begin fertilizing houseplants.
• Prune your roses except for climbing
varieties.
• Divide summer and fall blooming peren-
nials.
• Start celosia, cosmos, marigold, annual
phlox, and zinnia seeds indoors in mid
April.
• Fertilize established trees and shrubs.

Plastic Pesticide Container
Recycling Program for 2011
New Jersey Department of Agriculture will
have 21 separate collection days April
through November at three southernJersey
collection sites in Hammonton (Atlantic
County), Deerfield (Cumberland County),
and Woodstown (Salem County) in 2011.
Last year, more than 85,000 pounds of
HDPE plastic was recycled through the pro-
gram compared to 38,000 collected in 2009.
To date, more than 201,633 pounds of HDPE
plastic pesticide containers have been kept
out of the landfills through this program.
Among the uses for the recycled plastic
are plastic pesticide containers, industrial
pallets, agriculture drain pipe, speed bumps,
parking stops, hazardous waste drums, scaf-
fold nailing strips, and dock and sea walls.
All three collection sites also will accept
clean cardboard since the pesticide contain-
ers are distributed in cardboard boxes.
In addition, year-round drip irrigation
tape recycling is offered at the Cumberland
County Solid Waste Complex.
For further information on processing
guidelines, details on the collection sites and
specific dates of collection, call 609-984-

Another
VINE
In this case, VINE stands for Volunteer Information
and Networking Event, which is scheduled for
mid-April, National Volunteer Month.
I
n last week’s column, I mentioned
a few volunteer-related events we
have coming up in April. While we
certainly need people to help us
throughout the year, we usually save a
number of our volunteer events for
April, which is National Volunteer
Month.
I’m using this week’s column to pro-
vide you with more information about
our upcoming volunteer recruitment
drive—The VINE (Volunteer
Information and Networking Event)—
but first, a word about the real value of
volunteerism.
If you are one of the millions of peo-
ple nationwide who donate your time or
services to a group, a cause, a mission or
something else, you are actually provid-
ing community value and monetary
value. The former is easy to see, as there
is usually something tangible at the end
of your labors, and others benefit from
that. The latter isn’t always so obvious,
but it is equally important.
Regardless of what you are doing as a
volunteer, your work represents an aver-
age of about $21.50 per hour in donated
labor. That’s an incredible value and it’s
one that should not be taken for granted
by any organization that relies on
volunteers.
At Main Street Vineland, we have a
large group of people who routinely
donate their time and labor for the bet-
terment of the downtown. Over the
{ 14 } the grapevine | MARCH 30, 2011
course of a year, our volunteers can be
counted on to pitch in and do the
following:
• Plan special events,
• Meet with business owners,
• Plant flowers,
• Pick up litter,
• Raise funds,
• Conduct meetings,
• Take photographs,
• Pour beer and wine,
• Sit as targets in a dunk tank,
• Do data entry,
• Make connections in the community,
• Conduct business surveys, and
• Just about anything else you can
imagine.
There’s a lot to do, so we are always
looking to add more people to our list of
volunteers, which is why we’re holding
our annual VINE next month.
The VINE—sponsored by Capital
Bank of New Jersey—is a free event that
will take place on Thursday, April 14,
from 5:30 to 7 p.m., at Mori’s (next to the
Landis Theater) 830 E. Landis Ave. In
addition to hearing about what we do
and learning how downtown revitaliza-
tion is a lot like blind dating, you will
also connect with current volunteers
and meet our committee chairs—who are
volunteers themselves and will talk to
you about the many exciting projects
their committees are working on.
Best of all, we’ll have some free, tasty
refreshments for you to enjoy, and
everyone who signs up to be a volunteer
will receive a free gift. Space will be lim-
ited, so call today at 856-794-8653 to
reserve your place.
Regardless of your skills, abilities, or
time, we can use your help and you can
be assured that the work you do is valu-
able, needed and truly appreciated.
I hope you are able to join us at this
year’s VINE on Thursday, April 14. If
you have any questions about it, feel free
to give me a call and I will be glad to
talk with you about it. I

trous. Knowing exactly what to expect will
save a lot of heartache and aggravation.
Just because it is a wedding makes it no
different than any consumer transaction.
Realistically, it is more critical because of
the tens of thousands of dollars involved.
Every detail requires buying and discrimi-
nating among multiple vendors, so become
knowledgeable about consumer rights in
case of a disaster.
For example, it would be devastating to
have no recourse after paying a travel
agency for a honeymoon and then it closes.
Or, what if the bridal shop burns down and
had no insurance, resulting in a loss of
thousands in payment on a gown. The list
of possible disasters is almost endless and
some careful preparation can save grief all
around.

• Pay by credit card whenever possible.
In the event of a dispute, it is usually easier
to resolve problems through a credit card
company than if you pay by cash or check.
• Be aware of wedding scams, such as
questionable expos. Do not pay to attend
any bridal fairs without knowing the cre-
dentials of the organizer.
• Research the precious gem quality of
any ring and the styling of the settings.
That will prove invaluable when buying

• Prior to buying a wedding gown, con-
firm that the seller has followed Federal

viding information about the garment’s
fiber content and country of origin.

How To Marry In A
Foreign Country
Destination weddings, whether to a foreign
island or country, have become very popu-
lar. After finding the perfect venue, what
documentation standards must couples
meet? The answers may vary with each
foreign government. Research this infor-
mation carefully to ensure a legal marital
status in the U.S. If in doubt, consult an
attorney with foreign expertise.
Many countries have residency require-
ments for weddings, so couples may need
to be in the country for several days or
weeks prior to their event. Other countries
require very specific paperwork in order to
perform a marriage.
oknow.com says that docu-
mentation the couple
should be prepared to pro-
vide may include:
• Passports
• Birth certificates
• Divorce papers or
death certificates for all
prior marriages
• Immunization records
• Parental consent let-
ters for those younger than
legal age
• Embassy consent let-
ters
• Background checks in
those countries that investi-
gate passport start dates
and issuing government
agency
According to www.fly-
awayweddings. com, all for-
eign countries require that

have a different name for

officially issue any certificate, but foreign First, a sworn statement can be made
nations will accept a sworn affidavit, which before the foreign nation’s consular official
at its American embassy or consular office.
If a couple is already overseas in the coun-
try of choice, they may make a sworn
statement at the American embassy or
consulate in that country. Finally, a
licensed attorney in the U.S. and/or foreign
country may prepare an affidavit that veri-
fies that all documents relating to one’s
marital status have been reviewed for
authenticity. Both parties must be present
when such statements are made.
One solution may be to marry in a civil
ceremony in the U.S., and then travel to
the foreign country for a religious or cele-
bratory affair. That eliminates the need to
file papers. The civil marriage would take
precedence and be recorded within the
American jurisdiction.
To comply with diverse wedding proce-
dures, couples should carefully investigate
paperwork submission deadlines, transla-
tion requirements and other details to
ensure their marriage will be valid and
legally binding back home.
What Not To Do

gives bridal advice of what to do. Yet many

do are every bit as important.
This is a day for elegance. While many
young people these days sport tattoos, the
wedding is no place to showcase them,
especially in photos. The couple may not
feel as fond of them years later.
Also relating to photography, do not use
the occasion to get matching tattoos that
will show up forever in photos. Remember,
if the unthinkable divorce should happen,
removing the name of one’s ex-beloved is
painful, tedious and expensive. Also, keep
the artwork in mind when selecting wed-
ding dresses.
FEELING AND LOOKING FIT
All bridal couples want to look great, but
often think their outward appearance and
fitting into their gown or tuxedo is all that
matters. According to certified personal
trainer and zumba instructor Tamara
Cosme of Achieve PT & Fitness in
Vineland (ptrainer.t@gmail.com), focusing
on the “outside” and ignoring the “inside”
is a mistake. Feeling good and getting into
tip-top shape takes some time and should
not be rushed.
She offers sound advice for couples. If
weight loss is a priority, start right away. Do
not delay and then try a quick weight loss
scheme. Fad diets do not last, so set realis-

tic goals. Do not skip meals. Do not be
afraid to eat, but recognize that emotions
and planning may bring on stress eating.
Combining exercise with diet works
best, so do not make excuses to skip regu-
lar workouts. Spice it up to avoid boredom
and keep track of both exercise and nutri-
tion. Cosme says that regular physical
activity relieves stress, but since everyone
has individual needs, each person must
learn how his or her own body responds to
exercise. Do not be afraid to ask questions
of a personal trainer.
Do not get discouraged. Take a “before”
photo to assess progress. Another measure-
ment is to frequently try on the dress or
tuxedo. On the big day, everything will go
on smoothly and all buttons and zippers
will easily close.
MUSIC
When hiring a band or DJ, do not procras-
tinate. Bob Morgan, owner of Bob Morgan
Entertainment in Millville, says that he
often sees the same brides at several bridal
expos over several weeks. Spring is a busy
booking season, and by the time they make
a decision, their first choices may be
unavailable. If that occurs, Morgan cau-
tions couples against hiring friends or any-
one without solid credentials.
“The brides often want their relatives to
hear the music, and often wait until they
have attended every bridal show. By that
time, many popular DJs have already been
booked,” says Morgan.
Do not be close-minded when selecting
music. Morgan advises couples about their
play list, saying, “While it is their day, not
considering the musical interests of every-
one attending may keep them off the
dance floor.”
Do not seat older people near the
speakers when selecting music and plan-
ning a seating chart. Morgan says that they
will only like songs from singers of their
generation and will dislike sitting near
speakers playing loud rock or hip-hop.
Chemistry is crucial to understanding
the couple and the crowd at the wedding.
Do not sign with anyone who will not
schedule a one-on-one meeting. Get the
paperwork and costs right.
Every detail and expectation should be
on the contract, including a complete
breakdown of costs. Be realistic when set-
ting a budget. Do not skimp on the music
as guests always remember it as a key com-
ponent of the day.

out providing any description of the type

required. There are DJs for $400 or $500,
but they are in training and not ready to
handle a wedding,” says Morgan.
AVOID “DAY OF” DISASTERS
While there are always unexpected inci-
dents, smart bridal couples can easily avoid
many potential wedding weekend disasters.
Wedding planner Amanda McMillan of
Eventual Bliss LLC in Millville has com-
piled a list of warnings that should help
couples avoid problems. Her website,
www.eventualbliss.com, offers additional
bridal assistance.
Some of McMillan’s best tips are:
• Do not be late. It is not fashionable or
considerate. People have arranged their
schedules and travel to arrive on time. So
of the wedding. A bachelor or bachelorette
party the night before the wedding is ask-
ing for trouble. Hangovers do nothing for a
bride or groom’s looks or how they feel.
Also, stay away from the bar at the recep-
tion to help keep the memories fresh and
avoid any embarrassing behavior.
• Do not leave important details to the
last minute. The wedding day is not the
right time to pick things up or make hair
appointments.
• Do not base the guest list on everyone
else’s expectations. While there may be
obligations, a wedding list should reflect
those closest to the couple. If extra costs
are a factor, the couple should omit long
lost relatives or friends they seldom see.
• Do not plan the seating chart based on
set relationships. Be aware of the family
dynamics because no one needs unneces-
sary tension at the table.
• Do not assume the weather will coop-
erate. A wedding with any portion sched-
uled for an outdoor site should have an
indoor backup plan. In addition to rain or

 Fabulous, Flattering Fabrics
When brides and their bridesmaids read through magazines with photos of beau-
tiful gowns, they typically focus on design and color. Fabrics often play a distant
third when considering dresses, but should be an important factor in the selection.
Certain materials look more attractive on different skin tones and also wear bet-
ter than others. Some more expensive fabrics may be inappropriate for the hour or
season of the wedding ceremony itself. Specific materials are also more flattering to
certain body types. That may be very important when choosing bridesmaids’ dress-
es within a wide range of sizes.
Kelly Strittmatter, owner of Bridge Towne Gown & Bridal Shoppe in Bridgeton,
offers a diverse variety of gown choices from $599 to $1700. She also states that
gown color should be considered before fabric when working with darker or lighter
skin tones.
“Dark-skinned brides look better in light gold or alabaster and pearl, while dia-
mond white or ivory suits pale complexions,” Strittmatter says.
Strittmatter says that while all her fabrics can be worn throughout the year, some
are more durable. Satin and silk are very popular and gowns in those fabrics come
in multiple thicknesses and sheens.
Strittmatter says, “A good choice is chiffon because the gowns and dresses have
great movement. Women like that feel, regardless of their age, or if it is a first or
second marriage. We see a lot of chiffon bridesmaids’ dresses because they flow
and can be ordered in a style that is above the knee. Many bridesmaids will want to
wear the dress again.”
Satin is beautiful, but significant beadwork may add to the cost. Charmeuse, a
soft, lightweight satin, is also very appealing, but the downside is that it wrinkles
and is not ‘forgiving’ when clinging to a figure.
Other popular fabrics for brides and their wedding party, at various price points,
include:
Brocade- A heavy fabric woven to create a raised design, usually in a floral pat-
tern; damask is similar but of a lighter weight
Crepe- A thin, lightweight fabric that is crinkled along the surface, usually made
of silk or polyester
Eyelet- A perforation in a fabric
Illusion- A sheer fabric that is used on many gown necklines
Organza- A sheer, stiff fabric made of silk
Tafetta- A smooth, medium-weight fabric made of silk, nylon or rayon
Tulle- A fine, starched net fabric used primarily for skirts and veils. Can be used
underneath a wedding gown to create fullness and a true princess skirt.
—Sharon Harris-Zlotnick

snow, even summer days can be windy,
damp or uncomfortably hot.
• Do not have a cash bar. A wedding is
not a BYOB event where guests pay for
their own drinks. Many have spent money
to travel long distances or take time off
from their work. If necessary, adjust the
liquor, beer and wine selection to reduce
the price. Or, have the wedding early
enough to omit any bar at all. Guests
should not pay for anything, nor should a
tip jar be on the bar for the bartenders.
TECHNOLOGY FOR THE ABSENT
In this global world, people may want to
attend a wedding, but may be unable to.
They may live overseas and cannot afford
the trip. Or, someone may be ill and/or
housebound. Or, a venue is too small to
accommodate everyone who may want to
share in the day.
Advancing technology presents oppor-
tunities previously considered impossible.

THANK-YOU NOTES
When people take the time, effort and the
expense of giving a bridal gift or wedding
check, they are entitled to a timely thank
you. Shower gifts should be recognized
with a note within 10 days, according to
www.ourmarriage.com. Experts say that
all thank-you notes should be completed
and sent out within three months of the
wedding. If a gift is received prior to the
wedding, a note should be mailed imme-
diately.
Brides or grooms should personally
address all thank-you notes. Do not play
cute with having party guests address
their own envelopes to be picked for door
prizes or favors at showers
or other prior parties.
Considering the guest took
time to buy a gift or write a
check, it is extremely tacky
and lazy of the bride and
groom.
Amy Gubner of
www.aisledash.com puts it
in perspective, saying that
the bride is happy a guest
attended, and loves the
gift, but just not enough to
personally write a name
and street address one
more time.

Style

color, the men in the

also pay attention to
style and fabric, says
Ruben Bermudez. He

and Atlantic counties.

luxurious. Destination

choice and is ideal
for packing,” says
Bermudez.

After-Care for
Wedding Gowns
The wedding day is only a few
hours, but proper cleaning can pre-
serve the dress for decades.
Strittmatter advises taking the gown
to a professional cleaner with bridal
gown experience or to the salon. By
storing the gown in an airtight con-
tainer in a clean, dry area, it should
last a very long time.

Bridal Guide
More Wedding
Trends
Source: YourWeddingCompany.com
The following trends have been compiled
from hundreds of sources in both North
America and Europe to guide your selec-
tions and inform you of the vast array of
options available.
WEDDING BOUQUETS
Ninety five percent of wedding bouquets
are hand-tied, where the flowers are gath-
ered together and the stems are wrapped
in wide satin ribbon. Brides wanting more
glamorous bouquets choose beads,
brooches, jewel pins, pearls, crystal/
rhinestone picks, and monogrammed rib-
bon to dress up plain ribbon-wrapped
stems and blooms. With the continuing
popularity of the beach and garden
themes, brides wanting a more rustic and
natural look to their bouquet add ele-
ments such as shells/starfish, feathers,
berries and pinecones.
The rose continues to be the most pop-
ular and elegant bouquet flower. Lilies,
peonies, hydrangeas, tulips and orchids
represent the trendier choices.
Arrangements with a just-picked and
looser casual look have replaced the more
tightly-bound bouquet shapes of previous
seasons. Vivid flower colors will continue
in popularity.
More and more mothers are carrying
small posies instead of wearing the tradi-
tional corsage. Silk flowers are also popu-
lar for their versatility and lifelike appear-
ance. Visit local flower shops for ideas
and inspiration.
WEDDING RECEPTION
DECORATIONS
Brides are choosing centerpieces that are
in the same color tones, but of different
sizes. They are also changing the shape of
the tables, mixing round with square.
These trends give the reception tables a
more interesting look and a less “coordi-

glass marbles, sea glass shells, acrylic ice,
water absorbing crystals/beads, and fresh
fruits such as lemons and limes.
Faux rose petals, diamond confetti and
shells/starfish remain the most popular
confetti. Also, flowering vines or individu-
ally cut flowers are placed directly onto
table linens. Reception chairs are decorat-
ed with either tulle, fabric overlays, floral
swags and/or ribbons. Other popular dec-
orating items include Chinese lanterns,
garlands and balloons. Disposable cam-
eras, placed on each table, allow guests to
capture candid moments.

Queen Elizabeth sent out 1,900 invitations to the wedding ceremony of her grand-

Elizabeth II, embossed in gold. For the non-Anglophiles out there, the "EIIR" insignia
stands for "Elizabeth II Regina" ("regina" means "queen" in Latin).

I Vintage Vineland
Temperance
Lives On
Prohibition simply demanded of the rest of the
country what had been commonplace here.
T
he years of practicing, promoting
and preaching temperance
became characteristic of
Vineland and Landis Township
by the start of the 20th century. Still two
decades away from the national declaration
of prohibition, the borough and township
guided the local movement, annually voting
down the issuing of liquor licenses in the
area. But in 1933, the year temperance
finally met its match here, the Evening
Times delivered an interesting statement in
a December article. “It was learned,” the
story reported, “that the people of Landis
Township voted in favor of issuing licenses
one year, but no one applied…”
That year, according to a 1952 Times
Journal article, was 1907. The use of voting
machines in place of the traditional ballot
box apparently had been introduced two
years earlier, and area residents were not
pleased with the devices. In 1906, notices in
the Evening Times identify times and loca-
tions where instructions on the use of the
machines were provided. There is also a
report that the new devices would be used
for at least another year due to the state’s
failure to pass a bill that would have allowed
municipalities to choose their voting method.
So, in 1907 residents throughout Landis
Township set out on the first Tuesday in
November to cast their votes on candidates
and the issue of the public sale of alcohol.
But, as the Times Journal article reveals, “in
that year the traditional ‘No License’…was
somehow left off [the machine], and when
people, as usual, voted ‘no,’ they were in
reality voting against the ‘no license’
clause…and in favor of issuing licenses.”
The newspaper stated that Benjamin
Stevens, who began a reign as mayor of
Vineland in 1912, “recalls that every minis-
ter in town during that election unwittingly
voted against the clause.”
While later generations may find this
amusing, the townsfolk at the time appar-
ently didn’t. There are no reports in the
Evening Times of the confusion in the vot-
ing, and the election results reported to the
public reflect the usual victory of the tem-
perance movement. According to the news-
paper, borough voters not in favor of grant-
ing a license won 63-26, while the township

beginning to make some noise, but the din
wouldn’t be loud enough for a while yet.
In 1919, the United States approved the
18th Amendment to the Constitution, Sydney L. Tyson, MD, MPH
which declared the prohibition of liquor
throughout the country. The Amendment 856-691-8188

I News in Brief
SJH Regional Medical Center
Achieves New Status as
Accredited Chest Pain Center
The South Jersey Healthcare Regional
Medical Center has received Chest Pain
Center Accreditation from the Society of
Chest Pain Centers (SCPC), an interna-
tional organization dedicated to eliminat-
ing heart disease as the number one cause
of death worldwide. This recognition is
one of several national awards SJH has
received within the last year, demonstrat-
ing the health system’s commitment to
providing the highest quality cardiac care
to the community.
Hospitals that have received SCPC
accreditation have achieved a higher level
of expertise in dealing with patients who
arrive with symptoms of a heart attack.
They emphasize the importance of utiliz-
ing best practices related to diagnostic
and treatment programs, which provide
more efficient and effective evaluation as
well as more appropriate and rapid treat-
ment of patients with chest pain and other
heart attack symptoms. They also serve as
a point of entry into the healthcare system
to evaluate and treat other medical prob-
lems, and they help to promote a healthier
lifestyle in an attempt to reduce the risk
factors for heart attack.
South Jersey Healthcare’s state-of-the-
art healthcare encompasses the entire
continuum of care for the heart patient
and includes such focal points as dispatch,
Emergency Medical System, emergency
department, cath lab, SJH’s quality assur-
ance plan, and SJH’s community outreach
program. By becoming an Accredited
Chest Pain Center, South Jersey
Healthcare has enhanced the quality of
care for the cardiac patient and has
demonstrated its commitment to higher
standards.
South Jersey Healthcare’s dedication
and commitment to providing quality
heart care recently earned national recog-
nition. The Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at
the SJH Regional Medical Center
received the Beacon Award for Excellence
from the American Association of
Critical-Care Nurses for a second time. In
addition, the SJH Regional Medical
Center was also awarded with the
American Heart Association's “Get with
the Guidelines” Gold Performance
Achievement Award for heart failure care.
This quality improvement initiative pro-
vides hospitals with proven evidence-
based guidelines to care for heart failure
patients and prevent future hospitaliza-
tions. The award recognizes the efforts of
SJH staff and physicians to prolong the
lives of heart failure patients in the com-
munity. Visit www.sjhealthcare.net to

portal to save money. This type of record-
ing process is also environmentally friend-
ly by saving a tremendous amount of
paper. For further information on the

I Good Food
Healthy
Passover Food?
With Passover approaching, recipes with a
healthy twist are most welcome.
Passover is a holiday brimming with tradi-
tion that celebrates the Jewish people’s
emancipation from slavery during the
Pharaoh’s rule in Egypt. It serves as a
remembrance of the hardships endured
while in captivity.
Despite being a commemoration of
freedom from slavery and backbreaking
work, many individuals celebrating the
holiday find they become servants to the
foods prepared for the traditional
Passover seder—spending hours in the
kitchen cooking recipes that can be high
in fat, calories, cholesterol, and sodium.
“From a nutrition standpoint, Passover
is an extremely difficult holiday,” says Dr.
Tamar Schwalb, M.D. “Many people I
speak with diet the weeks before the holi-
day in anticipation of the inevitable five-
was calculated using profes-
sional nutritional software
programming.
“I am committed to
improving the health of indi-
viduals through positive
lifestyle changes and healthi-
er eating habits,” Giller says.
“Enjoying Passover in a
healthy way doesn’t mean you
have to compromise the foods
and traditions you love.”
“Bonnie's cookbook pro-
vides those of us who are
health- and weight-
conscious with delicious
healthy alternatives to the
standard Passover fare. As both a mom 1. Saute onion in olive oil until tender,

to seven-pound weight gain they will
incur over the eight-day Passover holiday.
Passover weight gain is usually due to the
consumption of an inordinate amount of
eggs, potatoes, and some form of matzoh,
which serve as the basis for the traditional
Passover recipes.”
Those who have special dietary needs
or are just interested in enjoying Passover
in a healthier way can find innovative and
delicious recipes in a new book, Passover

Trico Lift Helps Draft and
Introduce National Guidelines
Trico Lift, an area business, joined other
aerial work platform companies, manufac-
turers and industry associations to create
a national aerial work platform fall pro-
tection guide. The group was organized by
The American Rental Association (ARA)
and also includes the Association of
Equipment Manufacturers, the Associated
Equipment Distributors, the International
Powered Access Federation, and the
Scaffold Industry Association. Two years
ago, an industry group made up of some of
the same members, drafted safe operator
training guidelines and related industry
standards that were released to the indus-
try last February.
Their newest guide, titled “Statement
of Best Practices of Personal Fall
Protection Systems for Aerial Work
Platform Equipment,” was introduced to
the industry at ARA’s 2011 Rental Show
held in Las Vegas last month. Trico Lift
Vice President for Health, Safety and the
Environment Steve Phillips, who helped
author the document, joined a panel of
other experts at the show to debut the
new guidelines.
“We recognized the confusion sur-
rounding the selection of the appropriate
fall protection systems for users and oper-
ators with varied job functions,” Phillips
explains. “Collectively, we summarized
applicable standards and regulations for
personal fall protection systems in lift
equipment and outlined preferred system
options to assist users in selecting the
appropriate proper fall protection set-
ups.” According to Phillips, these recom-
mendations were based on the require-
ments documented by the American
National Standards Institute or ANSI and
OSHA, which govern aerial work platform
safety. For more information about aerial
