On the Homeless Front


Efforts to help the countys homeless have expanded on several fronts since
a grim discovery in December 2013. Communities across the nation have
taken notice. { BY STEPHANIE FARRELL }

Family Promise board members and others gather for the


opening of the new Day Center in Vineland. From left: Roxanne
Clark, board member; Karen Olsen, founder; Jill Santandrea,
board member; Dawn Durkee, director; Ron Crouch, board
president; Diana Johnson, former board member; Dorothy
Wilhelm, board member; Diane Osborn, former board president.

he plight of the homeless population in our


county can seem overwhelming, but the great
news is that hundreds of volunteers are organized and empowered, using their time and
resources to make a difference. Its as though they are saying, Not on our watch. Many of these are faith-based
organizations, but not all. Pastor Gary Stiegler of
Redeemer Lutheran says, Homelessness is not a church
problem. It is a community problem. These groups pull
together the best of the community. Dr. Robin Weinstein,
pastor of Bethany Grace Church and homeless advocate,
says momentum is building. How can we build on that
momentum to make changes in Cumberland County?
Code Blue began when Joseph Hanshaw was found
dead in a Bridgeton Salvation Army clothing donation box
where he sought shelter on a cold December night in 2013.
That incident rallied local leaders to provide a warming
center for the homeless on cold nights at St. Andrews
Episcopal Church. Three years later we are now in three
municipalities. It started in Bridgeton, then Vineland, then
Millville, says Weinstein. This year more than 100 individuals were sheltered, more than 200 were fed. More
than 400 registered volunteers are coordinated through
the winter to bring meals and take shifts. Certainly its
been a success, but Weinstein wants to build on it. Each
municipality was operating differently. It was a little confusing. We formed the Cumberland County Code Blue
Coalition. Weinstein is the Chair and working with
Mayor Kelly, standard operating procedures were developed. Because it was not an organization, people didnt
know how to donate. Thats where the M25 Initiative

Spring Cleaning and


Care for Your Car
Next to being at home and work or work-related activities, most Americans spend their time in
the carnearly three hours each day. So, wouldnt
it make sense, that if you clean your house and
prepare it for spring, that you also prepare your
car?
According to a recent survey conducted by the
U.S. Department of Transportation, more than
241 million registered vehicles will be traveling
U.S. roadways this spring. Many of these cars,
trucks and SUVs may have just weathered the
harsh conditions and corrosive elements associated with winter, including freezing rain, snow, ice,
sand, and salt. To be prepared for the changing
weather and road conditions of spring, heres a
simple checklist of tips motorists should perform
to help them during spring:
As temperatures change, so does your tire
pressure. Proper tire inflation is essential for
increased automotive safety, optimum driving
performance and significant cost savings, including better fuel mileage. So, check that air pressure
now. Tires should be inflated to the vehicle manufacturer recommendations printed on the vehicle door placard or in the glove box.
Replacing your air filter can increase your
vehicles life expectancy and fuel efficiency, especially during warmer months. Salt, sand and

In honor of the Farm Credit


Systems centennial year,
Farm Credit East announced a
$100,000 commitment to
support the development of a
new agricultural business curriculum and to provide scholarships for agriculture teachers.
As we celebrate the centennial of the Farm Credit
System we are looking
towards the future. This
investment in agricultural education delivers on that focus through programs to support the next generation of
Northeast agriculture, said Lisa Sellew, Farm Credit East director and chair of the
Boards AgInitiative Committee.
Farm Credit East has committed $50,000 toward the development of the agricultural business course of the Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education
(CASE), a project of the National Association of Agricultural Educators. CASE
courses integrate science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts with
hands-on, inquiry-based learning.
After an introductory course, students specialize in tracks for animal or plant
science, power and technology and natural resources. Farm Credit Easts funding
will help to develop a track in agricultural business. Since 2009, CASE has certified
1,134 teachers from 40 states, including 47 teachers from the Northeast states
Farm Credit East serves.
An additional $50,000 will go toward educator scholarships. Teachers become
CASE certified through a rigorous 60-hour training institute. If a teacher in Farm
Credit Easts territory is interested in a scholarship to support their attendance at a
CASE institute, please visit farmcrediteast.com <http://www.farmcrediteast.com>
to apply.
New Jersey has 22 schools that offer CASE and 28 certified teachers. The
schools in the southern New Jersey area are: Buena HS, Camden County Votech/
Pennsauken, Cumberland Reg. HS, Northern Burlington Reg. HS, Northern
Burlington Middle School, Ocean County Votech, Penns Grove HS, Woodstown HS.

story interview with Roger McGuinn (see April 6, 2016 in the Archives

can be read at SNJToday.com (search for An Interview with Roger
McGuinn). Heres a sample featuring McGuinn talking about some of his
influences (at times misconstrued) and how he got the idea to put a rock
beat behind Bob Dylans Mr. Tambourine Man, essentially helping to
create a new genre of music folk-rock and giving the Byrds its
wildly successful start in 1965:

You know, these are just things that dawned on me. When I heard the
Beatles and I heard their chord changes, it was an obvious thing to put
the Beatles and Dylan together. And then, moving on to John Coltrane,
where they misunderstood that and thought it was a psychedelic drug
song Eight Miles High and its just about an airplane trip, but
anyway.

HOMELESS
(Continued from cover)
where the M25 Initiative came in.
M25 InitiativeIts based on the
Bible, Matthew 25, says Weinstein. For I
was hungry and you gave me something to
eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you
invited me in. I needed clothes and you
clothed me. I was sick and you looked
after me. I was in prison and you came to
visit me. (Matthew 25:35-36)
Weinstein is the founder/president of
this non-profit. The goal is not just to
fund the Code Blue Coalition. What does
a homeless person need? A place to call
home. But we saw a dramatic increase in
our numbers of homeless individuals. If
the basement is flooding, you dont take a
mop and bucket to it, you have to turn off
the water supply. Housing First is an
effort to utilize best practices for the
chronically homeless. You put them in a
housing situation and you build wraparound services.
The program involves organizations
such as the Puerto Rican Action
Committee, CompleteCare, Inspira,
Monarch Housing Association. Were
going after 50 housing vouchers for our
pilot. Though it might sound expensive,
Weinstein says it cuts the cost in half as a
homeless person costs between $25,000 to
$40,000. It is good fiscal sense and its a
good moral principle for those who cant
get themselves fit.
M25 has already raised $80,000. They
recently announced the M25 Mustard
Seed Grant, which makes up to $2,500
available to local churches or faith-based
organizations that are addressing the
needs of M25s vision. One example would
be the Bethany Grace Shower Program. It
runs year-round on Saturdays from 7 to
8:30 a.m. We provide free showers, change
of clothes and toiletries to approximately
10 to 15 homeless individuals.
Code Blue demonstrated that there
was a problem, but it also demonstrated
that people could be part of the solution.
If we are still celebrating Code Blue three
years from now, we are not doing our job.
M25 is about how can we equip and
empower that change.
This week, Family Promise, a volunteer organization of affiliate churches,
opened up a new Vineland Day Center.
Executive Director Dawn Durkee
describes it as a big open-air space. It
used to be a credit union. We left the
kiosks where the bank tellers stood, there
we put in a dresser and nightstand so they
can have their things in one location. The
former center was in Bridgeton and not
handicap accessible. The Vineland center
is on the first floor and conveniently located near the transportation center and the
Cumberland County One Stop.

Family Promise operates as a hub and


spoke organization, explains Pastor Gary
Stiegler of Redeemer Lutheran. There are
13 spokes. On the outer rim are the 13 host
churches. Anywhere from three to four
families, up to 12 people stay in their
church for a week. They might be in the
fellowship hall, classrooms, or a home.
They provide food, transportation, and
socialization for the kids. In a year, over
700 volunteers share the responsibility.
The day center is the hub. The average stay
is six months. The families are brought
there early in the morning; the kids get on
their bus and head to the same school they
had been attending prior to becoming
homeless. Theyre referred through the
social service network, says Stiegler.
They fall through the cracks. Maybe they
have too much money, but its not
enough; they might have a job but not a big
one, not enough for an apartment.
Durkee says, Our goal is that they
leave here with suitable income and a safe
place to live. When they leave here we
want them to be able to manage money, to
be self-sustaining, to go on with life without having to worry about where they are
going to live tonight. We want to have
those kids be safe and able to live like a
child should.
Tammy Morris, the executive director
of the Cumberland Family Shelter, has
45 clients at the moment, eight of them
are children. From January to December
2105 we were over our level of service.
Our max is 112. But our census dropped.
There are less people eligible for
Emergency Assistance (EA) with the
Board of Social Services. Last years
change in welfare laws reduced the EA
funding, leaving them to tap Social
Services for the Homeless (SSH). Her
other main concern is the length of stay.
It was always that we had a max stay
of 90 days, then it was cut to 60, now it is
45. Its not enough time for our clients. A
lot of the time theyre coming in with just
the clothes on their back. They need time
to get a job and to save the money to be
able to get housing. The county is going to
be going back to advocate for a longer

not allowed to purchase or lease the


smaller system. According to the book
Railroads of New Jersey: Fragments of the
Past in the Garden State Landscape by
Lorett Treese, In 1868, the New Jersey
legislature permitted the Millville and
Glassboro Railroad Company to be
merged with the West Jersey, which
leased the Cape May and Millville the
same year. The West Jersey also leased
four other South Jersey short lines, thus
gaining control of most of the railroad
mileage in that part of the state. The
resulting West Jersey rail system made
Cape May even more popular and also
allowed South Jersey farmers to ship produce to Philadelphia more quickly.
According to Wentzel, the takeover of
the Millville and Glassboro line by the
West Jersey Railroad led to a series of
improvements, including the introduction
of a track trough or track pan in Millville
that permitted express trains to Cape
May to scoop water on the fly without
stopping. In addition, the eighty-one
mile route was routinely covered in a little over two hours [and] a newsmans special, which ran through Millville in 1882,
made the trip in eighty-three minutes
which was considered a most amazing
feat.
In 1896, the line was consolidated with
other South Jersey rail systems to create
the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad.
Increased passengers made this period
lucrative for the new railroad and it adapted accordingly, incorporating electrified
lines.
Early in the 20th century, however, the
success of the system allowed it to offer
hourly service to Camden. This meant
that trains on the Cape May tracks were
rerouted, resulting in reduced service in
Millville. What had once originated in the
Holly City now largely shunned it in favor
of quicker timetables.
By 1933, the old West Jersey Railroad
became part of the Pennsylvania-Reading
Seashore Lines, but it was the beginning
of the end of mass train travel. In Millville,
round-trips to Camden fell from 13 in 1933
to just four in 1958. Passenger service
finally ended in 1971, some 110 years after
this rail line began picking up and dropping off travelers at Landis Avenue and
the Boulevard. I

he Millville and Glassboro


Railroad, which connected
Vineland to the urban opportunities of Philadelphia, was barely a year old before changes began to
reshape it.
As of October 1861, travelers could
enjoy a two-hour trip, departing Millville
on the rail line at either 6:30 a.m. or 1:10
p.m. and traveling to Glassboro where a
recently completed West Jersey Railroad
line would transport them to Woodbury
and on to Camden where boats would
carry them to Philadelphia.
Boats from the City of Brotherly Love
to Camden would depart from the Walnut
Street Wharf at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Passengers could then transfer to the West
Jersey rail line and pick up a train from
Glassboro at 10:15 a.m. or 5:15 p.m. The
new route better accommodated someone
like Charles K. Landis, who would continue to maintain a Philadelphia office for
the rest of his life.
Even before the completion of the
Millville and Glassboro Railroad, the
company sought a franchise to build a rail
line from Millville to Cape May, at the
time known as Cape Island. The franchise
was granted on March 15, 1860, but it
would be April 1862 before construction
began.
According to Don Wentzels South
Jersey Magazine series on railroads, it was
during the wait that the company turned
over its operations to a group headed by
George Thomas and S. A. Garrison.
Thomas took control in August 1861
around the same time Landis drove his
stake near the rail lines tracks at Landis
Avenue and the Boulevard. But within
two years, the railroad was leased to a
new company comprised of Thomas,
Alfred Porter and Nathaniel Chew.
Construction of the line to Cape May
had begun in spring 1862, but after 10
miles of track had been completed, the
company ceased work in the town of
Manumuskin. The project was halted for a
year until the Cape May and Millville
Railroad acquired the franchise and completed the line.
By October 1867, the West Jersey
Railroad exerted its power and threatened
to build a rail system that would run parallel to the Millville and Glassboro line if

cant say that we had a lot of sweets


in the house when we were growing
up. They were a treat, not an everyday thing, so when we did get them, they
were memorable!
My favorite treats of all time were the
cupcakes that we would have to go all the
way to Millville forAbbotts Bakery had
the most luscious, white pound cake-like
cupcakes frosted with various flavors. My
favorite was the orange or strawberry
frosting, and my sister Linda liked the
chocolate-frosted ones. We would buy a
dozen at a time and the whole family
enjoyed them.
Later on we would hit other bakeries
like Liss or Polmonaris and even Century
Bakery in Bridgeton, which by the way,
still has the most delicious frosted doughnuts in the world. They are more of a
swirled cinnamon bun frosted with various icingsand yes, they even have orange
and strawberry!
For Easter, Linda brought over the
coconut bunny cake from Crust & Krumbs
in Vineland and it was beyond fabulous!
The coconut was fresh and flaky and the
cake moist and tender. Linda tells me that
she gets slices of coconut cake from them
once in a while and it is good to know that
I dont have to buy a whole cake just for a
little treat.
We may have had treats when we were
young, but Mom always insisted that we
eat our dinner first; there were no substitutions allowed. Since April is a month
chock full of springs best bounty, here is
one of my favorite luncheon dishes. This
quiche is easy to make and combines the
best of spring. Add a salad and you have a
complete meal for lunch or dinner!

Asparagus, Sausage, Leek and


Gruyere Quiche
1 tablespoon butter
1 Leek (white part and light green
parts only, halved and thinly sliced,
then well washed)
2 stalks green onion thinly sliced
1 lb./1 bunch (1 pound) asparagus,
tough ends removed, thinly sliced
on the diagonal
1/2 pound Italian sausage out of the
casing, thoroughly cooked,
crumbled and drained, set aside
Course salt and ground pepper
4 large eggs
1 cup milk and 3/4 cup of half and
half
Ground nutmeg
Pie crust fitted into a 9-in. pie plate,
well chilled. I like to use ShopRites
pre-made, rolled crust in the dairy
case
1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack


in the lowest position. In a large skillet ,
melt butter over medium heat. Add leek
and asparagus, green onion. Season with
salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 6
minutes to 8 minutes. Add to sausage mixture, let cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs,
half and half, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4
teaspoon pepper and pinch of nutmeg.
Place pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet.
Sprinkle with cheese then top with
asparagus-sausage mixture. Pour egg mixture on top.
Bake until center of quiche is just set,
about 50-60 minutes, rotating pie plate
halfway through. Let stand 15 minutes
before serving. I

his column is all about recognizing and thanking people who


have made a differencevolunteers who have stepped forward
to help make our downtown a great place.
Last Wednesday evening, April 13,
Main Street Vineland held a Volunteer
Recognition Event at Tropical Latin
Restaurant. It wasnt a time for awards or
special recognition. That time will come
at A Taste of Vineland in October. This
was just a time for us to come together to
show appreciation for the hard work and
dedication of our volunteers.
The room was packed with Main
Street Vineland administration and staff,
Board members, team chairpersons, and
volunteers spanning all of our teams and
activities. Mayor Bermudez honored our
work and is issuing proclamations for all
who attended. It was just a great, relaxing
time.
At a future date, well be honoring,
with a pizza party, the kids from the
Police Athletic League (PAL) who have
helped us at our Clean-Up and Planting
Days. This is what community service is
all about and it instills community pride in
these people at an early age.
Speaking of those kids, the PALs Girls
In Action helped us this past Saturday
with Spring Clean-Up Day at the miniparks at the Boulevard and Landis Avenue
and at other downtown focal points. They
made a great contribution to this initiative
and thats why we want to give such volunteers a big shout-out.
This coming Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 12
p.m. at the mini-parks, students from
Vineland High Schools Interact Club will
be helping us with Spring Planting Day,
adding seasonal color and beauty to
downtown focal points and making them
look their best. This will be rain or shine.
We can always use more help, and this
is where you come into the pictureand
how you can be part of this column. We
can use individuals and organizations to
help us as we do our monthly clean-ups.
If you or your organization has three
hours to spare9 a.m. to 12 p.m.on the
third Saturday of a particular month, we
can work you in. Wed love to have one
organization or group per month to help
get the work done. Not only will you be
doing a great service for our community,

tell whether you need new tires? One simple


way is the penny test. Insert a penny into the
tires tread groove with Lincolns head
upside down and facing you. If you can see
all of Abes head, its time to replace your
tires.
If you need to buy new tires, remember,
while they may all look the same on the outside, not all tires are created equal on the
inside. How you drive and the weather conditions you face should play an important
role in selecting what tire is right for you.
For most, the choice may come down to a
year-round tire that features an innovative
design that offers confident handling in any
weather.
There are many fluids that require
attention, including the engine oil, transmission fluid and power steering fluid. Spring is
the perfect time to make sure they are all
clean and at the proper levels.

Analytics are big these days in


business, sports and politics. When
it comes to auto care, the numbers
tell a very revealing story as 80
percent of vehicles inspected at
community car care events last
year required service, a new part
and/or repair.
With so many vehicles in need
of service, National Car Care
Month in April serves as an important reminder to take action today
so you can depend on your vehicle
down the road. Its easy to postpone vehicle maintenance when
things get busy, but dont put it off.
Addressing minor service issues
before they become major will help
you avoid unexpected car trouble
and unplanned costly repairs.
Many maintenance needs are
quick and inexpensive to resolve,
so its easy to make auto care a
priority during National Car Care
Month. To help you, the non-profit
Car Care Council has many free
tools available at www.carcare.org,
including the popular 80-page Car
Care Guide and a customized service schedule that make it simple to
follow a routine maintenance
program.

Spring is the Season for


Auto Care
After a season of winter driving, a springtime check-up for your car might be in order.
Most anyone can do routine automotive
housekeeping chores: Remove unneeded
winter gear from your trunk, clean out trash
and clutter, and wash and wax your car to
remove accumulated grime and salt deposits.
The experts at the non-profit National
Institute for Automotive Service Excellence
(ASE) offer the following advice for more
ambitious automotive projects:
Read the owners manual and follow the
recommended service schedules.
If you are not a do-it-yourselfer, look
for an orderly repair shop with modern
equipment in the service bays and qualified
automotive technicians as evidenced by
trade school diplomas, certificates of
advanced courses and ASE certifications.
Have engine performance problems
hard starts, rough idling, stallingcorrected
now, before summers demanding stop-andgo vacation traffic.
For comfort in hot weather, nows the
time to have a marginally working air conditioning system serviced.
Flush and refill the cooling system
according to the service manuals recom-

mendations. The level, condition, and concentration of the coolant should be checked
periodically. (Make sure the engine has
cooled down before removing the radiator
cap.)
A qualified auto technician should
check the tightness and condition of belts,
clamps and hoses, but you can look for signs
of wear, cracking, or fraying.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.)
as recommended in the service manual.
Check the condition of tires, including
the spare. Let the tires cool down before
checking their pressure. Uneven wear, cupping, vibrations, or pulling to one side
indicates problems with your tires or suspension system. If applicable, have snow
tires pulled and replaced with seasonal tires.
Change the oil and oil filter as specified
in owners manual. Often neglected, this
simple service is one of the easiest ways to
extend the life of your vehicle.
ASE was founded to improve the quality
of automotive service and repair through the
voluntary testing and certification of automotive technicians. ASE-certified technicians wear blue and white shoulder insignia
and carry credentials listing their exact
area(s) of ,certification. Their employers
often display the blue and white ASE sign.

Its the Law: Get Your Vehicle Inspected

 

Three Undisputed Facts About Auto Inspections


 
 

Getting your car inspected is the law.


Maintaining a safe vehicle is the law.
Your local auto mechanic is here to help you comply with the law.
Though you may have heard otherwise, you are still obligated to have your
car pass a motor vehicle inspection every two years and receive a valid
sticker as proof of compliance. Previously in New Jersey, you were required
to pass both an emissions test and a safety inspection to receive a valid
sticker. Today, due to budget constraints and to stay in compliance with the
federal Clean Air Act, the Motor Vehicle Commission now requires you to
only pass an emissions test. While a safety inspection is no longer necessary
to pass, you are still required by law to keep your car in safe mechanical
condition.
Failing to keep your car in safe running order means you put yourself,
your loved ones, and other motorists at greater risk for a motor vehicle accident. Furthermore, law enforcement officers can ticket you for failing to
maintain these safety standards. That can be VERY expensive, since you may
receive a ticket each time you are pulled over and there are no limits to how
many citations you may receive in a single day.
It is far better to address any safety issues today rather than put your
family (or your wallet) at risk.
This NJGCA member is committed to helping you keep your car in safe
mechanical order to avoid these possible issues by offering you a no-obligation free safety advisory.
Well do our part to lower your risk of getting into an accident or getting
finedbut please do your part in helping to keep our roads safe. Thank you
for your patronage, and safe motoring.

Spring showers bring May flowers, but


they may also bring slippery driving conditions and decreased visibility. When its wet,
a braking car needs up to four times its regular stopping distance. Worn tires can cause
cars to hydroplane, or skim over the road
with little or no traction, which can lead to
lost control. In honor of Aprils National Car
Care Month, drivers should take a few minutes to prepare their cars for spring showers.
According to Firestone Complete Auto
Care, proper tire maintenance is a relatively
simple task and can help drivers stay safer
on the road. The first step toward proper
tire maintenance is to check the tire pressure with an accurate tire gauge at least once
a month. This should be done when the
vehicle has been driven less than one mile or
has been sitting for at least three hours. The
recommended air pressure for a vehicle is
listed on the sticker on the door jamb, fuel

Winter has come and gone, and the


warmer, sunnier days ahead inspire many
of us to get back outside. However, if
youre heading out on the road, dont forget to be safe, especially if you are around
trains and train tracks.
Here are some tips from Operation
Lifesaver to keep you safe this spring:
Slow down. When you see an advance
warning sign, slow down, and listen for a
train.
Stay focused. Always keep your eyes
on the road. This means hanging up your
cell phone, removing earphones, turning
down your personal music and making a
point not to text message.
Look and listen for the train. Move
your head to see around mirrors, windshields and foliage thats grown up since
your last trip. Also, crack the window so
you can hear better.
Stop 15 feet from the crossing. If you
see or hear a train, keep your distance,
regardless of whether you are on foot or in
a vehicle.
Obey lights and controls at the railroad crossing. If the signals appear to be
malfunctioning, look for the railroads
800-number listed at or near the crossing.
Do not cross until youve checked for a
second train, or seen the gates move into
an upright position.

If you get stuck, get out! If your vehicle gets stuck on the track, quickly exit the
vehicle, and move away from the tracks.
Also, notify law enforcement or the railroad of your vehicles location.
For more safety information, visit
www.oli.org, or call 1-800-537-6224 to

filler lid, glove box, trunk, or in the owners


manual.
In addition to checking the inflation pressure, drivers should have their tires, including tread depth, inspected regularly by an
ASE Certified automotive professional.
Wheel alignment should be checked annually, and tires should be rotated every 5,000
miles or according to the vehicles owners
manual. Proper wheel alignment and rotation will help tires roll more smoothly,
which can increase traction, fuel mileage
and tire life.
Dont wait for a rainstorm to check your
lights and wipers. Make a habit of checking
both at regular intervals, when the weather
is goodlike when you fill up at the gas station. Seeing and being seen are critical anytime, but especially while driving in the rain.
Functioning lights are important not only for
your ability to see, theyll help other drivers
see your vehicle. Windshield wipers should
be replaced at the first signs of trouble, like
streaking or noisy operation, in order to provide the best visibility while on the road.
Proper vehicle maintenance may increase
traction and visibility during a rainstorm,
but good driving behaviors, like slowing
down and using caution, are also very important. Although the rain will go away, it will
come again another daybe prepared.

FOREST GROVE AUTO BODY: Vince
Simione, owner, recommends when driving in
winter snowy weather to make sure that you
accelerate and decelerate slowly.
Ive seen a lot of cars come in just from
not applying the gas slowly, he says. When
driving slow, it works on icy roads by helping
you to regain traction and avoid skids. It
takes so much longer to slow down on icy
snowy roads, so take your time to brake sooner and slower than usual.
You can AVOID being at the Body Shop if
you make sure that your car is prepared for
the winter snowy roads. You have to know
your brakes when it comes to the snow in
winter. Whether you have anti-lock brakes or
not, the best way to stop is threshold braking,
keeping the heel of your foot on the floor and
use the ball of your foot to apply firm, steady
presssure on the brake pedal.
And if the weather is so bad, you may just
want to stay home, he advises. 856-777-8430.

Underground Damage
Prevention Month
Throughout the month of April, the
New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU)
is spreading the word to help educate the
public and remind contractors and excavators about protecting underground utility
infrastructure and safe digging practices.
Underground Damage Prevention
Month provides a crucial opportunity to
educate residents and business owners of
the requirement to call 811 before any excavation project. Residents and business
owners serve as the last protection between
underground pipes and lines on their property and an excavators backhoe; if a project
is scheduled to begin, but no mark outs
exist stop the digging immediately and call
811.
Whether planning a do-it-yourself
project or hiring a professional, by calling
811 three full business days before beginning any outdoor digging project, residents
and property owners play an important
role in preventing serious injury and service interruptions due to damage to underground utility lines, said Richard S. Mroz,
President of the New Jersey Board of
Public Utilities. Anyone who is undertaking a project requiring digging needs to

like planting trees and shrubs.


811 is a free, FCC-designated national
number that connects callers from anywhere in the country to their local One Call
center. When calling 811, New Jersey residents, business owners or contractors are
connected with New Jersey One-Call center. The One-Call center then alerts the
appropriate utility companies who are then
given three days to mark the approximate
location of their lines or pipes with stakes,
paint or flags, after which professionals and
homeowners can dig safely around.
For more information regarding New
Jersey One Call, please visit

know that safety requirements forbid


breaking ground until the utility infrastructure has been clearly marked.
According to the Common Ground
Alliance (CGA), an underground utility line
is damaged every six minutes nationwide
because the utility infrastructure located
underground was not marked out prior to
digging. Excavation damage remains one of
the leading causes of serious pipeline accidents.
This April, as the digging season begins
in earnest, spread the word about the
importance of calling 811 to know what's
below before digging. Every digging job
requires a call to 811even small projects

program is now totally implemented online


through the CCIA website, www.ccianet.com. All county roads are up for adoption. As a result of the extensive changes,
the CCIA determined that the best way to
get the program back on track was to totally revamp the process and give everyone a
chance to adopt a road. These modifications include removing signs from the
roadways for anyone that has not contacted
the CCIA during the past year.
Without documentation or contact
with the groups or individuals who have
adopted a road in the past, we had no way
of knowing if the interest was still there in
keeping the road clean, noted Anthony
Riviera, director of Recycling and
Enforcement.
The online process is simple and only
takes a few minutes to complete. Select the
road to adopt and the system automatically
calculates a one-mile stretch. One-mile,
both sides of the road, is the minimum that
can be adopted. Fill in the registration
information, with particular attention to
the safety and requirement screens. When
registration is completed, the participant
can request pre-cleanup supplies online as
well as trash pickup once the cleanup is
done.
Participants are required to do at least

How to Buy an EnergyEfficient Appliance


In todays economic environment,
there is very little price differentiation
between retailers selling major appliances and televisions. The manufacturers have leveled the playing field
between independent retailers and
chain stores carrying major appliances. Therefore, when shopping for a
new refrigerator, washer, dishwasher,
etc. it is best to look for a store that
has the best selection, offers the most
services at no charge, and most
importantly, specializes in the sale of
appliances.
Many chain stores consider appliances as just another product category and do not devote the floor space
and provide the proper sales education that can be found at a retailer
who deals specifically in major household appliances. After all, do you want
the guy in fertilizer to make recommendations on which appliance best
suits your needs? That being said,
lets move on.
When making a purchase, consider
the energy savings when you are buying a new refrigerator, dishwasher,
washer or dryer. There is a big difference in the level of energy use among
models in these categories. A frontload washer is typically more efficient
than a top-load and a new washer will
spin clothes better than an older unit

which will reduce drying time and


conserve energy. Manufacturers provide energy costs for each model
which makes comparisons easy. A
well-trained salesperson, can point
you in the right direction. He or she is
the appliance specialist and as a specialist, doesnt dabble in drywall or
gardening equipment.
Top freezer refrigerators are the
most efficient in this category and
there is very little difference in energy
use between a 15 cu.ft. model verses
a 21 cu.ft. refrigerator. It is best to
purchase the largest model that will
fit your space in order to eliminate the
need for additional refrigeration.
When purchasing a new dishwasher,
many models offer an energy saving
cycle with a no-heat dry option. These
two features will yield substantial
energy savings. Finally, when deciding
on a new cooking appliance, ranges
that offer convection cooking will
reduce energy cost since they can
cook up to 30 percent faster and food
does not dry-out as it sometimes can
in a conventional oven.

We recommend changing your


systems filter once a month since
dirt is the number one cause of
system failure. Replacing the filter
regularly will keep dirt and dust
buildup from the system. We know
when you go to purchase filters,
youre overwhelmed with all kinds
of filters that range from $ 1 to
$20. You should not spend over $
4 per filter if you change it regularly.
Think of it this wayif you
change your oil in your vehicle
every 1,000 miles should you purchase the most expensive oil?
Same is true for air filters. The
expensive filters state they last for
three months. What you are not
told about these costly filters is
that after 30 days the filter starts
to clog and reduce air flow.Then
after 60 days, the airflow is
reduced tremendously, making the
system work harder and causing
your utility bills to skyrocket.
We recommend a pleated filter
that is changed monthly so the
dirt and debris doesnt have time
to get through and cause system
breakdown.
Think its too expensive to
change the filter every month
instead of every three with an $18
filter? Take a look at this 12-month
plan $18 X 4 = $72 or $ 4 x 12 =
$48 per year.

it online provides the means to monitor
activity to ensure that the terms of the
agreement are met. Regular reminders will
be sent via e-mail to participants. If there is
no activity for a year, the road will go back
up for adoption and the signs will be
removed.
The Adopt-a-Road program is available
to individuals and non-profit groups at no
charge. New for this online program is
business sponsorship for an annual fee.
This includes a larger sponsorship sign for
the business on the adopted road designating their partnership and commitment to

the county as well as to those who live and


work here. The four cleanups per year
requirement is part of the business sponsorship and activity will be monitored as
for individuals and groups.

gible to receive any type of Emergency


Assistance.
Note that renters as defined by LIHEAP
are households who pay for their heating
included in non-subsidized rent, therefore
not eligible to receive EA. Anyone who
rents a unit and pays for full heating costs
is eligible to receive HEA and therefore
emergency assistance.
Renters who live in public subsidized
housing with heating costs included in the
rent are not eligible to receive HEA or any
emergency assistance. The maximum
amount of Emergency Assistance for natural gas, electric, oil, propane and other
deliverable fuels is a one-time assistance of
up to $450. The maximum amount of
Emergency Assistance to prevent disconnection on non-heating electric accounts
continues to be up to $200.
Agencies will grant the maximum emergency assistance benefit amount when the
shut off notice indicates that an amount
over $450 is needed to prevent service disconnection. The maximum amount of EA
will be approved only when and if the
agency receives assurance from the utility
company that the said maximum EA
amount will prevent a service disconnection.

Spring Cleaning Tips for a Healthy HVAC System


Blossoming trees and flowers
breaking through the chilly spring soil
remind us that summer and air conditioning weather is right around the
corner. There are a few things that
should be done to tune up your home
HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, Air
Conditioning) system to make it both
healthier and more efficient.
Change Air Filters: Air filters protect you from pollens, dust, and other
airborne particles. Pleated style filters
are best because they filter out smaller particles; however, they should be
changed on a regular basis due to
their efficient filtering capability.
Clean Humidifiers: Since additional humidification is not required during
air conditioning season, humidifiers should be turned off, taken apart and
cleaned for the summer season.
Add a Dehumidifier: Dehumidifiers act to remove moisture from the interior air. Excess moisture in a home may breed mold and other toxins causing allergy issues. Drier air also circulates better with an HVAC system. You
can choose from portable or whole house models.
Clean Your A/C System: Outside A/C condensing units need airflow to
operate efficiently. Any leaves, grass or debris that accumulated around or
inside the condensing unit should be removed to ensure proper airflow. You
may also want to clean the coil with a cleaning agent specifically made for
air conditioning coils.
These are just a few steps that homeowners can do to improve the operation of their HVAC system. However, homeowners may wish to also consult
their local HVAC contractor for a complete system tune-up.

years, with the Department of Agriculture


leading the initiative since 2002. The program is open to all New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection-(DEP)-licensed
pesticide applicators. The DEP issues participants one-core credit toward their NJDEP
pesticide license.
Participation in the plastic pesticide container recycling program keeps these plastics
out of landfills and saves farmers and other
applicators money, said Secretary Fisher.
In 2015, more than 39,000 pounds were
collected through this program. Sites this
year include Cumberland County Solid
Waste Complex, Helena Chemical in
Hammonton and Woodstown, Allied
Recycling in Mount Holly and Rutgers Fruit
and Ornamental Extension Center in Cream
Ridge.
Non-refillable, high-density polyethylene
# 2 (HDPE #2) containers used by agricultural, professional and commercial pesticide
applicators will be accepted at the collection
sites. Containers must be no larger than 55
gallons and properly rinsed. For the detailed
program guide, visit www.nj.gov/agriculture/divisions/anr/nrc/processingsteps.html.
The Department of Agriculture coordinates the recycling of many different plastic
agricultural materials. There are four sites
statewide that accept nursery and greenhouse film year-round. The Department also
lists vendors who will accept for recycling:
mulch film, irrigation drip tape, plastic nursery pots, drip trays and flats.
