I Does and Donts

{ BY PAUL J. DOE, FORMER EDITOR, CUMBERLAND NEWS }
The News Biz

Dailies, weeklies and electronic media.
ne of the first things I do each

morning is check the news. I do
it all with my little Nook tablet
and I do it four or five times during the course of the day.
It lets me scan the local, regional, national
and international headlines and then pick and
choose the ones I think are important to me.
Im not a big fan of the local print media,
but I do think it has a critical role in disseminating information because its pretty
much all we have here with no viable local
electronic news media (yet).
If I see something of particular interest
on the locals online site I might even go out
and buy the paper.
For example, on Monday, March 2, I
checked my regular online news sites and
didnt notice anything of particular interest.
Imagine my surprise much later that
afternoon when, on a Philly news site, I
found a short story about two men being
shot and killed on a Vineland street earlier
that morning.
The shooting apparently happened in the
early morning hours and they had probably
already put the local daily paper to bed (as
we used to say in the news biz).
It was just another reminder of how far
and fast the daily newspaper business has
fallen. That, and the announcement that the
local dailys editor will be taking over as the
head of the news departments of both the
local daily and the Cherry Hill Courier-Post,
make me think that our local daily is soon to
be departed.
I remember back in the late 80s when
Gannett bought the (Detroit) Evening News
operation: which included the Millville
Daily, the Vineland Times-Journal and four
weekly papers in Atlantic County, a newspaper in California and TV and radio stations
across the country.
I was down herelike the Gilligans
Island peoplefor a three-year tour as the
executive editor of Times Graphics.
Everybody at the paper was wondering
what would happen when the new owners
took over.
One day we got word that the big boss
from Gannett in DC would be dropping by
to inform us of our fates.
Sure enough, a big long limousine pulled
into the Oak Road complex and an expensive suit got out of the back and walked in
like he owned the place.
The entire editorial staff was assembled
in the big conference room and we heard

him (for the life of me I cant remember his
name, but it wasnt the famous Al Neuharth
guy who founded USA Today) tell us how
our jobs were all secure and Gannett was in
the business of making newspapers better.
Any questions?
Well yes, I had one: How long will it be
before our newspapers are swallowed up by
the Camden (now Cherry Hill) Courier Post?
I dont remember exactly what he said,
but they were words to the effect that,
Gannett doesnt close newspapersit
acquires them.
I stayed with the Gannett organization
for about nine months after that; long
enough to meet the famous Al Neuharth at a
San Francisco newspaper conference.
Youre the fellow who runs our biggest
newspaper group, he said, shaking my hand.
I was stunned and probably stammered
my reply.
I later learned that really big shots have
handlers at their elbow who whisper all the
pertinent information into their ear so they
can really act like know-it-all big shots.
Shortly after I left Gannett, they folded the
Millville Daily and the Vineland Times-Journal
and created the much-loved Daily Journal.
Later they closed the printing plant and
moved that operation to their new printing
plant in Cherry Hill (hence the aforementioned name change), which means the local
paper has to be printed in the early, early
morning to get back here for distribution.
I think the answer to the question I
asked those many, many years ago is sometime very soon.
It just makes good sense from a business
standpoint, and probably would actually
mean a better news product (I mean better
than the one the readers are getting now,
not better than the ones they got in the
distant past).
Newspapers just cant compete with the
electronic media for timeliness but they can
be (have to be) far superior in getting the
whole story and getting it right.
Thats if they leave the ribbon cuttings,
birthday announcements and social news to
the weekly newspapers and focus on covering the news.
At least I hope thats where this whole
thing is headed. I

Remember When...
...there was enough snow on the ground to
build a snowman? Oh, thats right, it was less
than two weeks agoFriday, March 6when
Gavin and Gage Gallo spent their day off school
making a snowman taller than either of them.
They topped it off with their colorful saucer sled!

U.S. Department of Health and Human

Services Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) has announced the award
of an Early Head Start-Child Care
Partnership grant to Quality Care Resource
and Referral Services, Inc. This grant capitalizes on existing child care capacity and
infrastructure to improve access to high
quality early learning opportunities for
infants and toddlers in low-income families. ACF developed the grants to encourage innovative collaboration between new
or existing Early Head Start grantees and
child care providers.
Were awarding $3.3 million annually to
Quality Care Resource and Referral Services
to help ensure more children in Vineland
will benefit from high-quality early childhood efforts, said HHS Secretary Sylvia M.
Burwell. As a result, we expect that 280
additional children a year will be able to
access Early Head Start.
ACF Acting Assistant Secretary Mark
Greenberg said: These grants will help
support working families by providing a
full-day, full-year program for young children.
In addition, this program will offer support to parents in their roles as primary
caregivers and teachers, helping them
move toward self-sufficiency.
The Early Head Start program requires
significant support from the community,
including matching funds, much of which
is delivered in kind. These programs work
best when local businesses and community
organizations work together. Public and
private entities throughout the state are
invited to embrace these new programs
and be part of the solution for early childhood care and education.
President Obama first proposed the
Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership
program in his 2013 State of the Union
address, when he put forward a comprehensive plan to support high-quality early
education for all children from birth
through school age.

n last weeks column, I mentioned some

of the things that we are doing to instill
a sense of Vineland Pride in our
downtown and our community in general. I
mentioned some events and initiatives from
Main Street Vineland, but a very important
part of this involves what you can do.
A major factor in Vineland Pride is
what we and others see when they go
through our downtown and our city. Does it
look clean and attractive? Do our downtown
stores look appetizing? Are our yards and
lots neat, clean, and free of trash and
debris? Remember when our parents wanted us to keep our rooms clean and to
straighten up the house? Well, our city is
our house and our downtown is an important room in that house.
Were doing some things about this on
our end. We have Clean-Up Days and
Planting Days in the spring and fall that
focus on the mini-parks, but that isnt nearly
enough. We have volunteers who go out on
their own to clean up and they spend long
hours doing so, but even that isnt enough.
We are working with several other organizations on an Adopt-a-Block program that
would put volunteers in charge of square
blocks of our downtownto keep them
clean and to report any issues that need to
be called to our attention or the Citys attention. Along those lines, we are also in touch
with the City about Code Enforcement
issues and summonses are being handed out
for offenses. Even this, however, is still not
enough. Its not good enough for us to clean
up after others and be the ones that are
looked upon to do the work.
Thats where you come in. The most
effective way to create a sense of Vineland
Pride in our appearance is for everyone to
do their part. If everyone takes care of their
own property, itll not only make the job
easier, but it will make so much more of a

difference. How does your yard look? Is our
trash disposed of properly? Does your store
or business have a fresh, inviting appearance from the outside? Are the signs and
windows as they should be? Thats where
you can make a difference and can take
Vineland Pride to a whole new level.
***
We have another way for you to help.
Become involved by coming to our Get
Acquainted With Main Street Meet-andGreet on Thursday, March 26, from 5:30 to
8 p.m. at the Main Street Vineland office,
603 E. Landis Avenue. It will be the perfect

find out what we do in Main Street
Vineland. Well start with some light
refreshments and then will get you excited
about what were doing with revitalization
in our downtown. Youll be able to talk to
some of our people one on one. Talk about
Vineland Pride! Bring a friend or two. Wed

VHS Soccer Star Signs With

Rider University
Vineland High School soccer star forward
Steve Tobolski signed a national letter of
intent to attend Rider University in the fall.
According to his coach, Eric Spinnato,
Toboski is "the most explosive scorer at
Vineland High School in the past 20 years."
"We were very fortunate to have him on our team," he said. "In addition to
being an extraordinary athlete, he is a great kid and coaching him was an
absolute pleasure."
Tobolski scored 32 goals last season for the Fighting Clan, the most at VHS
since 1992. He ranks in the top five goal scorers at both VHS and Sacred Heart,
and is 10th in Cape Atlantic League Conference history. His career goal total of
96 is 14th overall in New Jersey.

While gift giving time was

approaching last Christmas, I pondered on what to give. Family and
friends knew to expect the unexpected in their Christmas gift bag.
So while sitting and sipping a cup
of hot Earl Grey, I put my Martha
Stewart thinking cap on and
decided to make everyone on my
list a tea cup pincushion. With
old cups and saucers from the
thrift store, small squares of fabric
scraps, fists full of stuffing and a
tube of noxious smelling glue, I
began my pincushion assembly line. Almost everyone can basically sew on a
button when necessary, so it made sense to me that a tea cup pincushion
would be a useful gift. Christmas came and went and each person seemed
pleased with receiving a one-of-a-kind pincushion.
Spirit & Truth Ministries would

like to invite you to their Easter
Luncheon & Egg Hunt on
Saturday, March 21, at the First
Presbyterian Church, 8th and

The New Year brought with it some minor health issues and cabin fever set
in throughout my month-long recuperation. Before long, I had a box full of
pincushions, then another box full of pincushions. Once I reached 50 pincushions in boxes stashed under my bed, the fun had to be put on hold for
a while until I could figure out what to do with this newly amassed collection. So now they are on display this month at the Vineland Public Library.
To attend the free Cushy Tea For Thee demonstration on how to create
your own tea cup pincushion on Thursday, March 26, at 6 p.m., call the
Vineland Library at 794-4244 to register. Bring a tea cup and saucer to class
to make into a pincushion. All other supplies will be provided by the
Vineland Public Library. Class size limited to 20 adults.

Township. The Waterways of Fairfield,

a We Women article by Marjory Mulford
Rensch, mentions a cove in the township
in which the waters of Black Creek
empty. The article informs us that this
cove and the creek afford a safe and
ample harbor for vessels larger than the
ships which generally navigated the
Atlantic Ocean in the early yearsA few
miles to the north, and most important to
the township to be was the Canahockink
Creeklater [known as] the Cohansey
[River]With the coming of the New
Haven men to the region of the Cohansey
and Back Creeks other much larger boats
found their way
According to Charles Harrisons
Cumberland County, New Jersey, the former New Englanders tended to settle on
or near the Cohansey River and its tributaries. The Cohansey River not only provided water for irrigating crops and feeding livestock, but the waterway was also
the route for ships carrying cargo out to
Philadelphia, as well as for ships bringing
goods from the city and elsewhere to the
settlers.
The Cohansey River and its tributaries,
according to Rensch, hide countless tales
of adventure. Its deep, slow-moving currents swirl over the sunken remains of
many a mud-buried boat, which once
proudly sailed its surface.
Agriculture and industry grew considerably in Fairfield Township during the
18th and 19th centuries as farming
became productive and sawmills and
gristmills sprouted up in the territory.
While there is nothing documented, one
of the mills may have manufactured cannons for the American forces during the
Revolutionary War. After the end of
British rule, Fairfield was incorporated by
the New Jersey Legislature on February
21, 1798 as one of 104 townships in the
state.
Interestingly, the size of Fairfield
Township diminished over the course of
100-plus years. According to online
sources, in 1772, a portion of Fairfield was
used to help create Downe Township. In
1801, the formation of Millville Township
necessitated the use of another portion of
Fairfield. And, on February 17, 1885, yet
another part was sacrificed in the establishment of Lawrence Township. I
o try to determine the main

reason Connecticut families
decided to relocate to what
would become Fairfield
Township in the 17th century is rather
impossible. It seems more likely that a
number of factors, including the harsh
winters of New England, were considered
when it came time to settle in southern
New Jersey. And what these families
brought with them was the culture they
had established in their previous environment as well as names like Fairfield and
Greenwich to reflect the towns they had
left behind.
According to a 1948 article, They
Called ItFairfield, in We Women magazine, the formation of the West Jersey
Society after 1664 led to attractive land
grantsoffered on the condition that the
persons accepting them arrive in the new
province, with the intention of planting,
before April 1677-79. Each man at that
time was offered a land grant of 70 acres
for himself and 70 acres for each servant,
up to 1677;up to 1678, 50 acres; up to 1679,
40 acres. It was an attractive offer many
couldnt turn down.
Others chose to purchase land in this
area from John Bellers (later Bellows),
who, according to records, purchased
5,300 acres of land in Salem County from
William Penn, Gawne Lawrie, Nicholas
Lucas and Edward Byling on June 9 and
10, 1681. Most of the town of Fairton was
established on this land, which was in
high demand and largely purchased by
the Connecticut settlers.
Its not surprising that there was such
desirability to own this land or that many
new residents took up farming once settling here. Like Vineland, the Fairfield
location contained soil most suitable for
agriculture. The promise of success led
many to enter into an agrarian way of life
that did not fail to reward them.
By 1697, an act of the Provincial
Assembly declared this area a Township
to be called Fairfield. Fifty-one years
later, it became a precinct as part of the
newly formed Cumberland County.
From the time Captain Nathaniel
Turners Connecticut expedition arrived
in this state to expand the New Haven fur
trade, the local waterways were an important factor in establishing Fairfield

Badfish (Tribute to Sublime). Levoy
Theatre, 126-130 N. High St., Millville. 8

p.m. Openers Dale and the ZDubs, plus
Jamall Anthony.
On April 13, 2001, Badfish, a Tribute to
Sublime, played its first show in Matunuck,
Rhode Island to 500 fans, many of whom
drove an hour or more to celebrate the
music of a band whose run ended far too
soon amid the tragic death of lead singer
Brad Nowell in 1996. But no one could
have predicted what was about to happen
next. Fans were calling this a rebirth of
Sublime, and Badfish went on to break attendance records up and down the East coast.
Some 14 years later, the band is still going strong, anddespite the fact that the
original Sublime has re-formed with a new singerBadfish still maintains the spirit
of Sublime and helps to carry on their legacy with grace. Consistently selling out
many shows at some of the most prominent venues throughout the country, Badfish
rivals the biggest tributes in the music business. Badfish make their mark on the
audience by playing with the spirit of Sublime. They perform not as Sublime would
have, or did, but as Badfish does. The attitude of Sublime cannot be faked, so
Badfish doesnt tryits own tribute is one that works. www.badfish.com.

he Vineland Board of Education

gave preliminary approval at its
March 11 regular meeting to the
proposed $196.8 million 2015-16
budget presented at the March 4 work session by Helen Haley, Business Administrator.
The budget will now be submitted to the
Cumberland County Superintendent of
Schools for review.
The proposed spending plan is $681,020
more than the 2014-2015 budget with no
increase in funding from the state, said
Haley. The district will receive $136.6 million from the state, which is 80 percent of its
General Fund revenue. To balance the budget, the district cut 20 positions without layoffs and will increase local property taxes by
2 percent.
The tax increase would raise the additional $434,629 needed to balance the budget. On a home assessed at the city's average
of $159,164, the increase would be $.017 or
$27.06 more for the calendar year. If
approved as presented, local school tax revenue will be $22.2 million, 13 percent of the
General Fund budget.
Haley said the budget process began with
a $5 million shortfall because of contracted
increases in salaries and medical insurance
premiums. Those two items alone account
for 70 percent of the General Fund budget.
To address the shortfall, the tentative
budget includes the following cost-savings
measures:
Relocating the 70 students in the alternative school to another site and closing the

Cunningham building on East Avenue. That

one move will save more than $1.6 million in
operating costs and create a possible new
revenue stream if the district decides to
lease the building.
Modify schedules at middle and high
schools to cut 20 positions through normal
attrition and reducing the number of shortterm substitute positions.
Consolidating supervisor positions.
Cut 20 more positions through normal
attrition and changes in assignments.
The list includes a world language
teacher, secretaries, a payroll clerk, three
custodians, four security guards and one
director, who is retiring. Six computer
teachers at the elementary level will also go
back to regular classroom duties.
The purchase of two 28-passenger
busses and five mini busses, all wheelchair
accessible, for $693,000 so the district can
handle in-house transportation of special
education students. The savings are estimated at $200,000.
Each elementary and middle school
will cut its supply budget by $5,000 with
another $20,000 cut from the Vineland
High School supply budget.
Terra Nova testing was eliminated and
Otis Lennon testing was reduced.
Reduction of overtime/extra pay in
security and technology departments.
The tentative budget includes $3.27 million for capital outlay projects. On two of the
budgeted items, the state is paying most of the
cost. One project is the long-delayed heating/air conditioning upgrade at VHS, where
the district is proposing to contribute
$500,000. The second is $650,000 that is earmarked for geothermal heating at the Middle
School #2 on South Lincoln Avenue.
Other projects in the budget include:
VHS North and Leuchter Elementary
