Three Caroling NursesCalm a Patient
Nurses at Eye Associates/SurgiCenter ofVineland sang Christmas carols to calma special needs patient prior to surgery.
Going into surgery, the patient was yelling,scared and generally combative. Donna Letizia,Gwen Dovnarsky and Joann Cervini of thenursing staff began to sing Christmas carols tohopefully calm the patient down...and it worked!They were able to get the IV in and the patientwent on to have a successful surgery.
Wow, that is what I call thinking on yourfeet, says Dr. Tyson. I heard the singing backin the O.R. and just laughed and hummedalong.

They work so quietly, so intently, youve probably
never heard of them. But some of their followers
hold them in awe. They are part of a large group
of health and wellness practitioners in Vineland, Their
business names broadcast their passions: My
Wellness. Achieve Physical Therapy. Body Benefits.
Anytime Fitness.
Last week, I rounded up a sample of those who
love the help they get and the enthusiasts who give it.
These are their stories.
Teale Carroll Millard, 35, of Milmay takes yoga
with Marta Kelly Doyle at Lauren O'Donnell's My
Wellness Massage and Yoga, a brand-new center on
Magnolia Road. She's a fifth grade teacher in Millville.
I never want my kids to have me at any less than
my best, Millard said. Yoga helps me to be that.
Saying It lets me dig the well a little deeper,
Millard explained that her mentors classes give her
the chance to relax her brain, both on the mat and off.Millard is an experienced yogi, but emphatically noted
Doyle's style accommodates those who are new to the
discipline.
Some places make you feel like a loser when
you're new. I feel free to bring friends to her class
because she's never that way, she makes people feel
comfortable. Millard said.
She further explained a paradox that practicing
yoga has helped resolve.
Most people want to lower their blood sugar and
blood pressure, and yoga is good for that, she said.

Footwarmer Goes Home to GreenwichOne of the most significant names in South Jerseys past is that of Fithian, a
family who made numerous contributions to the growth and development of theregion dating from the days before the American Revolution. However, since theFithians have been most closely
associated with the tiny seaport ofGreenwich, it seemed only fair to theVineland Historical and AntiquarianSociety that a piece of the familyspast be returned to its hometown.
During a recent inventory of ourcollections, we discovered a smalltin footwarmer that was clearlymarked as having once been ownedby Dr. Enoch Fithian, who lived inGreenwich between 1792 and 1892,said Patricia A. Martinelli, administrator/curator of the Vineland Society. Since
part of being responsible caretakers of history is to return objects to their properhome, the Board decided to donate the footwarmer to the Cumberland CountyHistorical Society, which is headquartered in Greenwich.
Martinelli noted that the footwarmer was probably donated to the Vinelandorganization before the county non-profit was created.
As the oldest local non-profit in New Jersey, Vinelands society has receive alot of material that really does not relate to our mission, which is to collect andpreserve the history of our town and its residents, she said. Were hoping tomake similar donations to other regional societies in the years ahead.
Patricia A. Martinelli, administrator/curator of the Vineland Historical and AntiquarianSociety, recently presented an antique footwarmer to Jonathan Wood, who accepted it on
behalf of the Cumberland County Historical Society. The footwarmer once belonged to
the prominent Fithian family of Greenwich and will be placed on exhibit in the countyorganizations museum.

Downtown Vineland{ BY GARY HOLLOWAY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, VDID / MAINSTREET VINELAND }
I
T
his is my first column as Main
Street Vinelands new Executive
Director. You probably know me
as Landis MarketPlaces manager
and have seen a column from me in that
capacity from time to time in these pages.
Despite my new position, I am not leav-
ing Landis MarketPlace. Though I will be
giving some managerial tasks over to John
Stoltzfus, who has shared the managerial
role with me, I will continue my responsi-
bilities with marketing and business
recruitment.
Following the seven years that Todd
Noon put in as Main Street Vinelands
Executive Director, I have some big shoesto fill, but Im ready for the challenge and,
in future columns, I will outline some of
my ideas. For now, however, I just want to
introduce myself and tell you a bit more
about me.
I received my Bachelor of Science
degree in Family & Community Services
from the University of Delaware. For three
years, I worked for the North Carolina
Outward Bound School, where I instructed
students in experiential and outdoor edu-
cation. I then moved west where I spenteight years in Bellingham, Washington.
While there, I worked as the Community
Outreach Specialist for Recreation
Equipment, Inc. (REI). I also co-founded
the Bellingham Public Market and served
as the board president for the Downtown
Bellingham Partnership.
This brings me to 2010, when my family
and I moved to Vineland at the time when
I was hired to manage the development of
Landis MarketPlace. From then until themarket opened in late May of the follow-
ing year, I worked developing the mar-
ketoverseeing the layout, interviewing
prospective tenants and developing a mar-
keting plan. For the first year, I shared
office space with Main Street Vineland,
until my office in the market was fitted
out. That gave me a broad perspective of
how the market was to operate and also
how it would fit into the broader picture
of Main Street Vineland. I also became
active in Main Street VinelandsOrganization and Promotions
Committees, as I saw a healthy, active,
prosperous Main Street Vineland as a cru-
cial element in the vitality of the market
and our entire downtown. While here, I
also joined the Board of Directors of the
Compass Academy Charter School.
Now that you know a bit more about
me, Ill let you in on a sneak peek at what
I consider key Main Street Vineland
priorities.
We need to embark on an ambitious
business recruitment program. Just as it
was imperative for me to fill spaces in the
market to attractive customers and create
an active, bustling atmosphere, we must
do the same thing up and down LandisAvenue. We must seek the kinds of busi-
nesses that our people need and want, and
help them to take root and grow. This
requires building and maintaining close
relationships with these businesses, the
property owners, and the City of Vineland.
From my experiences elsewhere, I have
seen success and want to replicate that
success here.
We need to market what we have
downtown so that you know that we have
something great going on herenot onlywhen we have events, but all the time. We
need to continue to think of new ways of
getting the word out, as well.
We also need to attract new volunteers
to help achieve our goals. By building
partnerships with other organizations, we
can give them a greater sense of owner-
ship in the success of our projects and
events.
One change that we are making is that
the Main Street Vineland office will beoperating out of Landis MarketPlace, at
631 E. Landis Avenue.
Ill have more to say in future columns,
but, for now, I welcome your input, your
help, and your cooperation as we move
forward in this New Year. I
For more information on Main Street
Vineland, stop into 631 E. Landis Ave., call
856-794-8653, visit www.mainstreetvineland.org, or check them out on Facebook.

Guest Column { BY ROBERT SCARPA, EXECUTIVEDIRECTOR, CUMBERLAND COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY }
I
Ask a friend what they know
about Habitat for Humanity and
theres a good chance theyll
respond with something along
the lines of, Oh yeah, dont they give
away free homes? With all due respect to
your friend, they would be missing the
whole picture.
Even though HFH has been aroundsince 1976 and enjoys worldwide brand
recognitionit was President Jimmy
Carter who played a large part in elevating
the organizationwe are often misunder-
stood. Through monthly articles here in
The Grapevine, I will attempt set the
record straight. Habitat for Humanity is a
Christian-based, worldwide, non-profit
organization that leads the fight against
eliminating poverty housing by offering
deserving families a hand up.More than two billion people on this
planet live in sub-standard housing.
Even in this prosperous country we call
America, hardworking parents are trying
to raise a family while living in a garage, a
shed, a basement, or a broken-down vehi-
cle along the side of the road. No need to
look far either; these families reside right
here in Cumberland County. Perhaps even
in your neighborhood. Their children
might be friends with your children. You
might be sitting next to them at churchthis Sunday. People who live in these cir-
cumstances rarely walk around with a
label saying, I need a place to live.
Since 1989, our local affiliate has part-
nered with 25 local families and helped
them transition into homeownership. In
November, HFH International raised the
walls on our 800,000th house across the
world. In fact, for the first time, HFH
served more than 100,000 families in a
single year. And were not stopping either!Back to the falsehood of HFH giving
away homes. While we believe that every-
one should have a decent, safe, and afford-
able place to live and raise a family with
dignity, we understand that in order for
our partner families to truly own their
home is to be invested in. Make no mis-
take, each of our partner families sits
down at a settlement table across from us
at the end of construction and purchases
their home. No handouts, no giveaways.
Do our partner families get a good deal
on the house? You better believe it.
Because so much of the labor required to
build our homes is performed by volun-
teers, and because so many local and
national companies donate materials for
our projects, we can typically build a
home for about half the cost of most
homebuilders. So a modest 1,100-square-
foot rancher might cost us about $80,000to build even though it may have a fair
market value of $150,000. (See what vol-
unteer labor gets you?)
Because we are a non-profit organiza-
tion, we cannot sell the home above what it
costs us to build it. Hence, the term non-
profit. So not only do our partner families
get to transition from sub-standard living
conditions into homeownership, they get to
do it at a discount. Wait, it gets better.
Obtaining a mortgage to buy the homecould prove to be a challenge to our low-
income partner families. Weve got that
covered, too. At the end of construction,
and after the partner family has complet-
ed all of the requirements placed upon
them by us, we offer the family a 0%, 20-
year mortgage to buy the home from us.
Imagine having a mortgage payment,
before taxes and insurance, of under
$350/month.
The mortgage program we offer our
partner families is the perfect pay-it-for-ward example. Each month, when our
partner families make their mortgage pay-
ments to us, it provides us with the funds
to build yet another home for a deserving
family here in Cumberland County. Today,
over a dozen former partner families make
their mortgage payments to us knowing
that they are helping fund our next proj-
ect. Many of the families that we built
homes for still volunteer at our job sites.
So the next time someone speaks ofHabitat for Humanity in terms of just giv-
ing away houses, do us a favor and
enlighten them that what we give is a hand
up, not a handout; a home, not a house.
Next article: How can you become our
next partner family? I

Gathering HistoryVintage Vineland { BY VINCE FARINACCIO }
The Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society has
been doing just that for 150 years.
This past summer, the New York
Times magazine ran a two-page
photograph of an aerial view of
a massive green field covered
with bodies. Each is clad in a uniform des-
ignating his affiliation. Most are congre-
gated in the middle of the expanse, but
some could be seen flanking the torn
fence near the lower portion of the photo.
Many lay prone where they had fallenwhile others are twisted and curled into
grotesque positions that convey their pain.
Those standing still continue to fight. The
white puffs of smoke from the rifles add to
the body count as Giles Price, the photog-
rapher, captured the moment. Yet there is
no cause for alarm.
The photo described above is of a reen-
actment that took place in Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania, in July to commemorate the
150th anniversary of the Civil Wars piv-otal Battle of Gettysburg when real
corpses littered the field and bloodshed
actually occurred. There were 11,000 re-
enactors who played the roles of the actu-
al soldiers who tread the fields and sur-
rounding areas for three days of fighting.
But 150 years ago, 160,000 men fought in
the famous battle and 51,000 fell.
The sesquicentennial celebration, like
any anniversary event, serves a dual-
minded purpose of putting us in touch
with our history and gathering us togetherin order to accomplish that goal. A total of
55,000 visitors from other parts of the
country attended the July commemora-
tion of the Battle of Gettysburg. Any time
a celebration of this sort draws large and
committed crowds, the sesquicentennial
celebration can be called successful.
Of course, the same can be said about
the centennial and bicentennials as well,
but for the moment Vineland is pleasantly
experiencing a series of 150-year anniver-
saries along with the Civil War, the result
of their 1861 origins. And thats a good
thing because we need reminding every
five decades or so.
Three years ago, the City of Vineland
honored its past and present in a 150th
commemoration. The festivities, publica-
tions and exhibits were a reminder of the
towns beginnings and a reason for the
community to band together as they had
in 1961 and 1911. Last year the First United
Methodist Church, one of the earliestplaces of worship established here, cele-
brated its sesquicentennial with a series of
events and a display of artifacts at the
Vineland Public Library.
In this New Year, the Vineland
Historical and Antiquarian Society
(VHAS) will arrive at its 150th birthday.
Its establishment in 1864 was part of town
founder Charles K. Landis vision. He rec-
ognized the importance of preserving his-
tory, which is why the VHAS is NewJerseys oldest local historical society.
Think about that for a moment. Towns
had existed in this state as far back as
Colonial days, yet not one had launched a
municipal historical organization until
Landis had encouraged the creation of the
VHAS three years into Vinelands exis-
tence.
The VHAS sesquicentennial should
prove to be one of the more interesting
anniversaries the town will encounter. Bynature, a sesquicentennial is the third in a
long line of 50-year celebrations for towns
and institutions, but the VHAS deals with
history on a daily basis. Its on the shelves
of its bookcases, in the paintings hanging
on its walls, in the display cases that fill its
rooms, in the documents housed in its
archives, in Vinelands first house that sits
on its property and in the very structure of
the building it calls home on Seventh
Street.
So does that make the 150th anniver-sary redundant? On the contrary. Such an
institution is steeped in the very ingredi-
ents necessary for a successful sesquicen-
tennial. If one of the purposes of such a
celebration is to put people in touch with
history, who better than a historical socie-
ty? But the accompanying goal of bringing
people together in order to experience the
past is your part of the equation. As with
any such commemoration, be it the
Gettysburg reenactment, Vinelands 150th
celebration or the First United Methodist
Churchs sesquicentennial, its success is
dependent upon the involvement and
commitment of not only those organizing
it but also those attending. Thats the
secret to the success of any historic gath-
ering. It always has been. I
The Vineland Historical and Antiquarian
Society is located at 108 South Seventh St. in
Vineland. The VHAS is open to the public

and I think its due to my practice.
She noted yoga is good for body toning.

Ive been to several other places, this
one is so much better, its unbelievable,
they treat me so special, said Beverly, 72,
of Elmer, who did not want her surname
used, and was talking about Achieve
Physical Therapy and Fitness on South
West Boulevard. Her therapist, Paul Heim,
runs the business with Richard Maung,
and he has helped Beverly through reha-bilitation before and after two shoulder
replacements and an ankle injured in a
fall. She just had a knee replaced, too, and
will resume her treatment soon.
Beverly also keeps up her strength and
flexibility and controls her arthritis by
using Achieves small fitness center. Open
to clients and the public, the center
includes a good-sized pool. Beverly point-
ed out that the gym doesn't particularly
cater to girls in tights with their navels
showing running around without a dropof perspiration on them.
We wear gray sweats, she added
emphatically.
She said she likes to take care of herself
naturally and uses only two prescriptions
and an occasional Advil. She and her hus-
band Anthony have three living children,
five grandchildren, and five great-grand-
children, who range in age from 18 years
to four months.
I want to keep going the best I can for
as long as I can; I dont want to burden mykids, she said in her blunt and engaging
manner.
The work of therapy is hard, but
Beverly stressed how important it is after
surgeries and how shes convinced its
helped her avoid additional procedures.
Because he must push her and all
clients to be successful, Beverly called
Heim a pain in the [butt] sometimes.
I love Richard, she said.

Pilates is an exercise system usinguncomplicated but powerful kinesthetic
machines and mat work to increase flexi-
bility and strength all in the same move-
ment. Its related to yoga, although their
histories are vastly different. Yoga is a
meditative process developed 5,000 years
ago in India. Pilates, which uses some of
the same poses, has its genesis during
World War I when Joseph Pilates began
adapting his therapeutic equipment from
hospital beds.
Anita Cavalier owns Body BenefitsPilates Studio on Lincoln Avenue and,
while she certainly bursts with knowledge
of, and appreciation for, her discipline,
wait until you listen to her long-time
client, Doug Grant, 61, of Vineland.

said. You need a teacher who fully under-
stands body mechanics and Im acquaint-
ed with very few people who know so
much in their field as she does.
While it appears to be a cross between
a medieval torture chamber and a jungle
gym, the Pilates studio and a gifted
instructor provide a subtle energy and
strength as you go through personally
designed movements that form part of a
regimen with thousands of them.
Its not extremely difficult, but you
definitely feel it, Grant said.
He said he is trying to maintain a
healthy and athletic lifestyle through his
halcyon years.We used to do sports to stay fit, he
said. Now, we have to stay fit to do sports.
Im just a guy who wants to play games
more than I want to work. He swims,
plays tennis and basketball, lifts weights,
and bikes. He hopes to run after 30 years
away from it as soon as he recovers from
recent knee surgery. He cites his work
with Anita as the most essential element
in meeting his goals.
Pilates does so much good and its fun,
too, Grant said.***
Absolute Physical Fitness provides per-
sonal training at Anytime Fitness locations
in Vineland, Millville, and Hopewell
Township. That's the background.
The story is the hope, encouragement,
and instruction that
Kayla Dodge gives
Josh Taylor, 27, of
Vineland. Starting
with a Biggest
Loser contest at
work, which he won, and then wanting to
look good in a tux for his wedding, Taylor
has shed 80 pounds, trimmed his waist
from 44 to 32 inches, and begun to win
strength contests at Anytime, all in a little
over a year. In his eyes, it's like Kayla is
winning with him.
The first time she worked me out, I
threw up, Taylor said. Thats how I
knew I was keeping her.
His initial goal was to do a pull up for
the first time in his life. It took three
months to accomplish, but now, he has his
sights on much bigger things. I'm getting
into cross training; I want to do a mud
run, he said. (That is a punishing
endurance race through rough terrain,
water, mud, and obstacles for distances as
long as 10 kilometers.)
I rely on the personal training, Taylor
said, So it's not just going to the gym, it's
become a lifestyle. It's more personal than
I've had in the past, more hands-on.
In an era where some personal training
is now done online or behind a kiosk,
Absolute's owner Paula Costantino-Brown
noted her trainers get to know each
client's strengths, weaknesses, and ambi-tions. Anytime Fitness is open 24/7 so her
staff is generally available from before 5
a.m. until after 10 p.m. as needed.
I asked her about that seven-hour gap.
Some of us like to sleep, Brown
said. I
THE CENTER FOR DIAGNOSTIC IMAG-
ING (CDI) added a new MRI to its Vineland
office that delivers uncompromised image
quality and high productivity with an expan-
sive 50 cm field of view.
The 1.5T field strength is the industrysbest-known, and the bore diameter and field
of view make MR scans accessible to very
large patients and those who feel confined
during these studies, said Dr. Shailendra
Desai of CDI.
The new MRI provides patient comfort
without compromising quality or capabili-
ties, Dr. Ernesto Go, M.D. of CDI said. It
combines the benefits of an ultra-wide
patient bore with a superconducting magnet
and a comprehensive suite of software appli-
cations. This MRI represents the ideal com-bination of quality and patient comfort.
The advanced functionality of our new
MRI gives clinicians the tools they need to
make definitive diagnoses, said Dr. Ajay
Munjal of CDI. The system delivers patient
comfort without compromising quality or
capabilities.

SERENE TOUCH CENTER at the Tranquil
Garden is a spiritual and holistic center,
owned and operated by Shirley Burke. You
could choose from any the following servic-
es or try them allbe coached to become
clear about what you want in your life;
receive a Reiki treatment to clear, balance
and recharge your energy system; and learn
meditation to find and experience inner
peace or more deeply to connect with your
inner truth.
Life Coaching is a practice of supporting
and guiding clients to discover and create the
life they want. What area of your life could
benefit from focusing attention, releasing
blocks and aligning with your desires: rela-
tionships; finances; career; health; personal
goals; daily living? Clients are guided to
become aware that the answers and solutions
they seek lie within themselves. They then
learn steps to follow to achieve their desired
intentions, goals and outcomes. Coaching
promotes self-confidence, self-empowerment
and the ability to achieve success.
Reiki is a safe gentle non-invasive holistic
energy therapy based on the science that our
bodies are 97 percent energy and 3 percent
matter. The practitioner channels universal
life force energy to the client with light
touch. Reiki can clear dense energy, relax,
rejuvenate, as well as assist the body in heal-
ing itself. The smallest benefit you will
experience in a Reiki treatment is total
relaxation, but there have been some
remarkable outcomes observed through
receiving this treatment.
Meditation is a practice that can be used
simply as way to relax and access inner
peace; or more profoundly to access deeper
levels of conscious awareness. It can help
you enjoy and appreciate each day. Clarify
your thoughts, choices, and values. Heal and
balance your emotions. Develop a deep
