I News in Brief
Softball Game To Mark
National Rehabilitation Week
Teams of therapists and staff members
from HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital
of Vineland and Inspira Rehab Care will
go head-to-head on Thursday,
September 24 at 5 p.m. at Cumberland
County College in a neighborly softball
game as part of National Rehabilitation
Week celebrations. Assemblyman Sgt.
Robert Andrzejczak will be present to
throw the first pitch at the game, which is
free of charge and open the community.
Our staff enjoys being part of our
patients rehabilitation journeys, says
Matt Ferro, HealthSouth Vineland director of therapy operations. Since we work
together as a team in our hospitals to provide comprehensive care to our patients,
we figured it would be fun to put our
teamwork to the test in a game of softball
with our friends at Inspira Rehab Care.
National Rehabilitation Week was
established in 1976 to create awareness of
people with disabilities and promote the
benefits of rehabilitation. This campaign
also celebrates the therapists and other
staff members that help patients reach
goals of independence after an injury or
debilitating illness.

The Cumberland County Historical Society is a registered NJ Non-Profit Organization.
Computers have taken human element

out of most realms, but not politics.
tephen Hawking is worried about

artificial intelligence (AI). Since he
is generally acknowledged as the
smartest man in the world, it seems
to me that this is probably a good time for
the rest of us to give it some thought.
A few years ago they had that contest on
Jeopardy where the all-time top contestants
competed against Watson, the IBM computer. Watson, of course, won handily.
The name Watson was chosen for the
famous Alexander Graham Bell quote,
Watson, come here that Bell used to summon his assistant, Watson, from another
room in the first demonstration of his new
invention, the telephone.
Well, Watson is not only in the room
these days; hes the elephant in the room.
In the trailers for the upcoming biopic
of Apple computer genius, Steven Jobs,
they show the investors meeting where
Jobs unveils his new computer with the
pronouncement that the two most significant events of the 20th century were the
Allies winning World War II and the introduction of the personal computer.
Pretty hard to argue with that.
Men have walked on the moon, sent
pictures back from Mars and the farthest
reaches of the galaxy and made significant
advances in science, medicine and
communications.
Every single thing was expedited
through the use of AI. Its the reason everything is moving so rapidly. So rapidly, in
fact, that most of us can hardly keep up.
Theres an old joke about the guy who
was conceived through artificial insemination who, each Fathers Day, sends a card to
a syringe at the Mayo Clinic.
It may be just a matter of a very short
time before the Nobel Prize for (name a
science) will be awarded to a computer.
Seriously, we really seem to have come that
far. And, apparently we have only scratched
the surface of what is possible with AI.
I grew up in Detroit. When I graduated
high school in 1961, I was one of the few who
didnt go straight into an auto factory. They
were good paying, guaranteed jobs for life.
You had the same thing right here in
Cumberland County with the glass industry. Good paying, guaranteed jobs for life.
You can blame a lot of things for the
changes that have occurredunions, mismanagement, global competition, etc.
But the bottom line is that most factory

jobs these days are done by computers.
One of the last things my Dad did before
he died was tour the Ford River Rouge
manufacturing plant (hed worked at
Chrysler all his life) where they still pour
steel, rubber and plastic in one end of the
assembly line and a car pops out on the
other end.
Dad was amazed by the fact that there
were so very few actual live people
involved in the process. But he acknowledged that they did make a good car.
Im just wondering, though, if we are
missing an opportunity. Seems to me we
arent using AI for all the best reasons.
The number one priority should be the
one thing that screws up all the restelected
and appointed government officials.
We started out wanting it to be of, for
and by the people. What we seem to have
now is a government that has evolved into
its own entitytoo big to operate efficiently
and too big to fail.
Seems to me that maybe we should stop
electing officials and start building them
from the ground up.
Imagine a world where computers make
decisions regarding health services, taxes,
immigration, retirement benefits, and laws
without regard to getting re-elected.
Or without regard (in local instances) to
putting cousin Jims little son on the city
payroll to keep peace in the family.
I think computers would quickly realize
that we have more than enough laws (the
constitution only recognized three crimes,
incidentallytreason, piracy and counterfeiting) and there were only 10 on that
tablet Moses brought down from the
mountain.
Personally, I wouldnt be the least bit
worried about AI if it werent for the fact
that people are going to be involved at some
level of programmmg.
Hawkings theory (google it by typing in
Hawking + AI) suggests that we may
already be past the tipping pointcomputers
smart enough to improve themselves.
If thats so, then we would be wise to
remember Final Jeopardy.
In the Watson versus humans contest,
Watson could not be beaten in the final
question, so Ken Jennings (the winningest
contestant ever) simply wrote: All hail our
new overlords. I

Santiago Honored by BOE

Eddie Santiago, a Vineland Public Schools
security officer, was honored by the Board of
Education at its September 9 meeting for
thwarting a burglary at Leuchter School and
assisting in the apprehension of the subject.
Santiago was on night patrol when an alarm
summoned him to Leuchter Elementary
School. Upon checking the building, he discovered a man attempting to steal district property. The man fled, and Santiago gave chase while letting the police know his location. The police promptly arrived at West and Park avenues and arrested the
suspect.
"He did an outstanding job," said John Provenzano, Director of Security.
"I appreciate being part of the district," said Santiago. "It's a wonderful district, the city is great, and working alongside Mr. Provenzano is an honor and a
privilege."

The Boys & Girls Club of Vineland members joined a conglomerate of women
and teen girls for a full day of empowerment in New York City over the summer
at the PowHERful Summit, provided by the Starfish Foundation. The summit
helps foster educational, professional and personal development with its specially designed sessions and workshops aimed at building confidence and empowering the attendees.
Misty Copeland was the keynote speaker at the event. Copeland was recently
honored by being promoted as the principal dancer of the American Ballet
Theatre, and she is proudly the first African-American female ballet dancer. Her
keynote speech was entitled HERES HOW: Dance to Your Own Beat, in which
she encouraged young women to keep pushing and persevering no matter what
obstacles they may face.
Former President of Entertainment for Telemundo, Nely Galan, kicked off the
PowHERful Summit, and workshops were held by Macys, Google, Lyft, Capital
One, and HHC throughout the day.
Pictured here are Boys & Girls Club members, volunteers and staff who participated in
the summit and are part of the Club's SMART Girls, a life skills program for girls ages 11
to 17, with Soledad O'Brien (center).
Cumberland Equestrians Compete in State Show
Cumberland County 4-H equestrians joined 4-H representatives from throughout the state last month to compete in the annual State 4-H Horse show. The
state contest includes English, Western, Dressage, Driving, Very Small Equine,
Challenged Rider and Game divisions. Held at the Horse Park of New Jersey at
Stone Tavern in Allentown, the State 4-H Horse Show is an exhibition of the best
4-H riders and mounts in the garden state. Cumberland County brought home
grand championships in the Western Division and Driving Division, with many
members taking awards in their classes.
The Cumberland County 4-H horse program is directed by Cyndy Hetzell, and
supported by the tireless efforts of 4-H staff and volunteers including parents,
families and friends of 4-H members. We are proud of our Cumberland County
4-H Members and grateful to the many Cumberland County 4-H volunteers who
step up and take leadership roles each year at the State 4-H Horse Show. Cyndy
Hetzell does an outstanding job encouraging our 4-Hers to compete in the best
spirit of sportsmanship and expand their equine skills, develop life skills and
meet other 4-Hers from throughout the state. Says Julie Karavan, Cumberland
County 4-H Agent
Cumberland County captured Grand Champion in the Driving Division and
Western divisions as well as Reserve Champion in the VSE division.

dont think of you. I rely on the wisdom you provided, as I walk through this life
without you. You would have loved your only granddaughter, Mia Ellen; she is
just like you, so in a way, I have you in her. You are missed by so many, and I am
reminded of that on a regular basis. You were my coach, my best friend and the
very best mother a daughter could possibly ask for I dont know how I have

paroled prisoners where they would be

buried in trenches. The prisoners clothing, usually tattered beyond repair, was still
a commodity among inmates and unguarded pants and shirts were subject to theft.
The Confederates were unable to provide
their own soldiers with new uniforms, so
any chances of new clothing for their
charges was out of the question.
Futch tells us that the results of such
conditions revealed themselves through the
inmates attitude and psychology. The
nonchalance with which many regarded
death and the unfeeling eagerness with
which they stripped dead or dying men of
their valuables and clothing were shocking
to newcomers in the stockade.
In July, a group of prisoners decided to
petition the Federal government for their
release. Their efforts proved controversial
when some of their fellow inmates saw it as
shirking the duty of their military obligation. Nonetheless, sergeants of 107 divisions signed the petition and six of them
were allowed to deliver it personally to the
Federal Government. But, according to
Futch, nothing came of it.
As week after week passed, Futch
writes, the prisoners situation grew ever
more desperate as their number steadily
increased and the death rate mounted. So
crowded was the stockade that the average
amount of space per man of the month of
June was only 33.2 square feet.
Enlargement of the stockade increased this
figure to 40.5 for July, but the constant
influx of prisoners reduced it again to 35.7
for August. This was less than four square
yards per man, including the uninhabitable
swamp. The average number of prisoners
during the month of June was 22,291; July
29,030; and August 32,899. During the
month of June, 1,203 died; in July 1,742;
and in August 2,993. The largest number of
deaths on any one day was 127 on August
23. Perhaps it is impossible, as so many exinmates maintained, to grasp or convey an
accurate picture of the horrors of
Andersonville Prison or the suffering
endured by the men confined there during
that awful summer of 1864.
These are the conditions Jared Gage
encountered when he entered
Andersonville that October. I

hen Vinelander Jared Gage

entered Georgias
Andersonville Prison in
1864, he was one of approximately 31,000 Union soldiers in a facility
incapable of accommodating that number
of inmates. For Gage, the experience would
haunt his health and lead to an early tragic
death. One prisoner wrote about
Andersonville, None will ever realize the
suffering here but those who live to endure
and live through it, but well attempt to
examine what had occurred prior to Gages
incarceration there.
According to History of Andersonville
Prison by Ovid L. Futch, the conditions at
the prison, which opened in February 1864,
were due to the Confederates lack of provisions, the facilitys inadequate size to
accommodate the large number of prisoners and certain inmates disregard for
maintaining sanitary conditions. Ration
limitations led certain prisoners to pay or
barter for food while those who couldnt
afford to buy meals usually had to settle for
cornbread, bacon and a lack of nutrition. As
one inmate reported, Men actually starve
to death here for want of food.
An expansion of the prison camp was
undertaken, using inmates as workers. A
10-acre addition on the north side was
completed by June 1864, but the unending
influx of new prisoners meant that the new
portion was overcrowded once it was
opened.
According to Futch, as early as the latter part of March, Michigan cavalryman
John L. Ransom noted that the prison was
becoming filthy and considered the prisoners themselves somewhat to blame for it.
Before April was half-gone, he complained,
There is so much filth about the camp that
it is terrible trying to live here. Some
attempted to keep clean and to avoid contamination, and on occasion they ducked
and scrubbed some of the dirtiest of their
comrades, but many became discouraged in
these efforts.
Water soon became scarce and soap
non-existent so that lice and other vermin
settled into the uncut and matted hair of
the prisoners. History of Andersonville

The Machine Performs Pink Floyd.
Landis Theater, E. Landis Ave., Vineland.

8 p.m. America's top Pink Floyd show,
has forged a 25-year reputation of excellence, extending the legacy of Pink Floyd,
while creating another legacy all their
own.Tickets $40.55 and $45.65 available
at ticketmaster.com
After an almost three-year absence from
the band, beloved singer/guitarist Joe
Pascarell returns to The Machine performs
Pink Floyd beginning with the show at the Vermont
State Fair on Friday, September 11. Joe is one of
the founding members of the band and performed
with them for 23 years. Joes knowledge of the Pink
Floyd catalog, as well as his passion for live performance, is unparalleled; his ability to accurately
sing both the Waters and Gilmour parts is uncanny.
The band is planning a variety of special theme
shows in conjunction with his return. Founding
member drummer Tahrah Cohen says, We are ecstatic to have him back and we know
his fans will want to welcome him at our fall shows.
With Joe resuming his duties on lead guitar and lead vocals, long-time member
Ryan Ball will switch back to the bass guitar and vocals after masterfully taking on lead
guitar during Joes absence. The ensemble also includes long-time member Scott
Chasolen on keyboards and vocals.
For 26 years, The Machine has forged reputation of excellence, extending the legacy
of Pink Floyd, while creating another legacy all their own selling out theaters, large
clubs and casinos across North and Central America, Europe and Asia. They have also
appeared at renowned music festivals such as Bonnaroo, Riverbend, Gathering of the
Vibes, Buffalo's Artpark, and Germanys Rock of Ages. Additionally, the quartet has
shared the stage with full symphony orchestras, including the Atlanta, Detroit,
Pittsburgh and San Diego Symphonies.
The New York based band focuses on making every show an authentic experience
performing a diverse mix of Pink Floyds extensive 15-album repertoire complete with
faithful renditions of popular hits as well as obscure gems. The Machines stellar musicianship, dramatic lighting and video, and their passionate delivery set them above and
beyond the rest. Rolling Stone Magazine once said, The Machine duplicates the sound
and hits of Pink Floyd with chilling accuracy.

Bridal Guide
A marriage of more than
two has its unique set of
challengesand joys.
{ BY SHARON HARRIS-ZLOTNICK }
arriage used to define the legal

and emotional bond between a
bride and groom. To an extent, it
also involved the blending of their parents,
siblings and extended family. If they got
along, it was great. If not, they could often
keep a polite distance to avoid any potential
conflicts among them. Traditionally, the
couple married and later established permanent roots by having
children and buying
a home.
Those days are gone, as
society and its marital customs have changed.
Second or third marriages,
whether heterosexual or
same sex, may now involve
one, or both, partners with
children and/or parents
living within the household.
Without careful planning and acceptance,
meshing these multiple
groups of people can prove
challenging at best, and
unsuccessful at worst. The
smarter couples try to
leave nothing to chance.
While no one can predict
the future, they can avoid
the mistake of not discussing and deciding

key issues in advance. Ignoring the realities
of their familial situation often means disastrous consequences as the marriage progresses.
Research and insight on this area of
family dynamics comes from the non-profit, non-partisan Council on Contemporary
Families (CCF), founded in 1996 at the
University of Texas at Austin. The organizations mission is to provide the most current analysis about American families to
the media and the public. Its membership
roster includes diverse professionals,
including demographers, economists, family therapists, historians, political scientists,
psychologists, social workers, sociologists
and communication scholars.
The CCF offers education about how
and why contemporary families are changing. It also defines not only the future
needs and challenges of these families, but
also how to positively meet those needs.

in a stepfamily, only nine percent are living

with a stepchild, whereas 46 percent of
remarried men in a stepfamily are living
with a stepchild.
Ironically, the dramatic increase in stepfamilies since 1980 has brought more
acceptability. Manning writes that while
blending the complexities of two families,
the prevalence of these living arrangements
across the U.S. has heightened the awareness of how to deal with issues. Couples
who are educated on these issues may be
better equipped to adjust themselves to
their new living arrangements.

In her June 2, 2015 briefing paper prepared for the CCF, Wendy Manning, codirector, National Center for Family and
Marriage Research, reported that in todays
society, 38 percent of first-time couples
marrying already have a minor child under
18 living at home. That number increases to
46 percent for remarriage. Although the
rate of remarriage has declined significantly since 1990, the majority of remarriages
involve children.
Manning writes, Nearly 63 percent of
women under age 45 in remarriages are living in a stepfamily, but it is far more common for men than for women to be resident stepparents. Among remarried women

Couples can successfully work their way
through the obstacles surrounding their
new families if they establish realistic
a binuclear stepfamily.
On a graph, the elements of the relationship would appear as overlapping circles of
individuals radiating from the central couple. Their sole point of commonality is
derived from the couple itself. However,
each half has its own individual history of
traits and conduct.
In other words, there are obvious surface variations that may include race, etnicity, religion and geography. These elements
often create subsets within these cultures

expectations going into it. Abbey Bradway,

MS, LPC, ACS, of the non-profit Kedesh
Counseling Center in Vineland, has counseled couples for almost two decades.
Statistically, the divorce rate among second and third marriages that introduced
stepchildren into the relationship is high.
Bradway claims that research shows that at
least half of all women who marry men
with children would reconsider their
choice. Conversely, since comprehensive
research has not been done for men who
marry women with children, the data is
incomplete.
Bradway states that if couples understand the challenges, it will certainly make
a big difference. This is not like a smoothie...there is nothing smooth about it. The
scenario is often set up so that people dont
think clearly, she says.
She supports an evolving professional
philosophy that is changing the thinking
about family relationship dynamics. Rather
than viewing them as blended families,
Bradway subscribes to the theory that
these marriages actually combine two distinct lifestyle cultures. She replaces the
blended terminology with the concept of
of how the different families behave. The

greater the differences between a couples
cultures, the tougher the adjustment
may be.
There are also more subtle subsets that
may be unique to each partner. Bradway
claims that ones expectations of behavior
can interfere with the success of a stepfamily. That may include their level of discipline,
affection, closeness to external family members, work ethic, money management skills
and a host of additional daily life issues.
She says, People tend to believe that
whatever they grew up with is normal and
often act out of their own perspective.
Successful families seem to also understand
this concept and then strive to accommodate these variations. For example, it is
often preferable that the biological parent
and stepparent co-exist and live together,
but then recognize that the biological parent is an insider to the children while the
stepparent is an outsider.
Bradway cites multiple ways for couples
to appropriately approach life as a stepfamily:
Teach family members a structure of
who is aligned with whom, somewhat like
concentric circles overlaid over one another.

Reject the theory that spending more
time together will improve relations.
Ironically, the opposite may be true.
Togetherness should not be rushed and
developing friendships is a process.
When possible, do things together, but
also recognize the dynamics of the subset.
Regardless of age, children feel a major loss
from a divorce or parents death and have a
loyalty bond to the biological parent.
Talking things through is a must.
Try to understand and respect the differences of the other side that has joined a
family structure.
As part of life, even the most successful
stepfamilies will have disagreements.
Bradway states that the way couples handle
discord may predict the long-term quality
of their relationship. Some research

describes the endurance of a couples conflict style. Fighters will probably continue
to fight; couples with solid negotiating
skills can look forward to a long, happy
marriage. No couple can escape conflict, so
couples that almost never argue may actually be disconnected from their marriages
rather than enjoying healthy relationships.
While disagreements cannot be avoided,
they can clearly be minimized through
smart conflict resolution strategies. In her
book Marriage in Modern Life: Why It
Works When It Works, Dr. Anne Brennan
Malec counsels managing expectations and
maintaining cordial relationships with for-

Wedding Weekend In Downtown Vineland

The ultimate shopping experience for brides
and grooms, with the chance to win some great
grand prizes, returns to downtown Vineland
when Downtown Wedding Weekend comes to
Landis Avenue for the fifth consecutive year.
Sponsored by Main Street Vineland,
Downtown Wedding Weekend will feature
approximately a dozen downtown businesses
and will occur, rain or shine, on Saturday,
September 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on
Landis Avenue. The major sponsors for this
event are Als Shoes and The Banquet Hall at
the Landis Theater. The participating businesses will display the merchandise and services
they can offer to the bride- and groom-to-be.
Find everything from gowns and formal wear, shoes, and jewelry to flowers,
limousine services, nail salons, tanning facilities, and catering services as part
of this special event.
Brides and grooms who visit with least six of the participating vendors
along Landis Avenue will be eligible for prizes, which include a $250 gift certificate from DeSoto Jewelers and more than $700 in gift certificates from
other participating businesses.
This is an exciting way to bring together our downtown businesses and to
show brides, grooms, and everyone the array of shopping choices in downtown
Vineland, said Brian Lankin, Main Street Vineland Promotions Committee
Chairperson, pictured here with the registration form/map in his downtown
store, Als Shoes.
Maps to help people locate participating businesses will be available at any
of the businesses. Most businesses will be participating from their own locations while others will have booths set up at other locations on Landis Avenue.
Part of the mission of Main Street Vineland is to help downtown merchants, including how to market themselves, said Main Street Vineland
Executive Director Russell Swanson. Downtown Wedding Weekend serves
this purpose and also makes the public aware that downtown Vineland has a
variety of businesses to serve all your needs.

operation over a maximum of six hours.

Garcia says, Following the ceremony,
we give the couple an additional 30 minutes to capture whatever activities they

SUCCESS STORIES
Nothing explains how to merge families
better than those who have actually done it.
These two local couples, with very different circumstances, have found a way to
successfully bring their individual family
groups together under one roof.
Lorraine and Aaron Dickel of Vineland
met and began dating in 2005. She had
relocated to Vineland from New York in
1997. He was born and raised in Vineland.
Four of their children knew each other
from school, so these parents met, as many
do, at the school. Between them, they have
seven childrenfive daughters and two sons.
"We took our relationship slowly and
did not date to be selfish. Aaron and I
wanted the kids to approve of our friendship that had grown into a more meaningful relationship. We married on July 29,
2012, says Lorraine.
She admits that challenges and disagreements arose, as they would in any family,

Here are a few trends to

help inspire your custom
cake. (Your baker can help
with the rest.)
Metallic Cakes: If an
entire tier is too much glitz
for you, consider adding a
little sparkle all over.
Ruffled Cakes: Skip
the bold patterns and addons in favor of subtle
embellishments with allover sugar ruffles.
Naked Cakes: With the deconstructed cake, you get to show off the
inside.
White-On-White: The fresh new
way to do a white wedding cake is to
add interesting all-white embellishments.
Lace Cakes: Decorated with beautiful designs, reminiscent of the most
gorgeous wedding gowns imaginablelike yours.
Woodland Cakes: Accented with
fresh or lifelike sugar flowers and
leaves.
Geometric
Cakes: Eyecatching patternssquares,
chevrons,
stripesare a
fun, fresh twist.
Rosette
Cake: Textural
sugar-made
roses all over
the cake.
Sugar
Flower Bouquet
Cakes: A new take on wedding cake
flower accents is to cluster sugarmade flowers into a mini-bouquet.
Ombre Cakes: A rich saturated
hue that transitions to a mid-tone or
a barely there tint that fades to white,
the possibilities are endless.
Monogrammed Cakes: The idea
here is to design a cake made to
highlight your new shared monogram.
So many options! Many couples
use their cake to reflect unique characteristics or qualities.

and Jake, almost seven.

The Lamberts split their time with the
boys, who live with their mother in
Pennsylvania. Ted has weekend custody
during the school year and weekday custody in the summer. They are regularly on
the highways, transporting the children
back and forth.
Stacy describes their life as constantly in
motion. She commutes to Moorestown for
her job in fashion for Destination Maternity.
Ted owns the popular Sidelines Sports Bar
in Millville and works staggered hours.
Both in their 30s when they met, the
Lamberts purposely took their time to
develop their relationship.
I grew up two blocks from the Sideline
and had moved to New York in 1999. I
came home for the weekend and went
there to hang out with my friends. Ted runs
a very sociable, friendly bar and he came to
say hello. He took my number, texted me
and our first date did it for us, says Stacy.
Believing it is a mistake to invite kids
in too early, they waited six months before
Ted introduced Stacy to Theo and Jake. She
says that while there were early challenges,
she has come to cherish the children. Stacy

but objectivity was a vital element.

Lorraine claims that as the children got
older, there was greater communication
among them all.
She states, We had to remain neutral as
parents and never took sides with our own
children. With so many kids, we tried to
ignore the trivial stuff. We expected respect
and got it. Also, we have believed it is so
important to concentrate on our own marriage and the quality of our relationship.
In fact, the kids began to refer to us as
The Parents when it came to discussing
us. Today, they are close enough that when
meeting people who do not know our background, they often introduce [each other]
as sister or brother rather than as stepsiblings.
Today, everyone leads busy lives. Both
Lorraine and Aaron work and only four of
their children are still home. She says,
Everyone is doing their own thing and we
are all together at holidays and family
events. Now adults, the older kids have gone
on with their own lives. We are already
grandparents to an 18-month-old little girl.

adds that whatever the rest of their week

entails, she and Ted concentrate on their
lives with the boys on the weekends.
"Its all about the boys when they are
here. Since Teds relatives, including his
mother, live in Millville, we regularly take
them over for visits. I miss the boys when
theyre away and would like them to be
with us fulltime.
We have all grown together since they
were so young. Jake doesnt remember a
time when I was not in his life. We are
patient, but also provide discipline. As

young as they are, Theo and Jake have a real

sense of right and wrong. We teach them
respect and responsibility. Even at their

He credits Stacy and her family with

childrens lives.

Limo Logic
Choosing the right limo can be a
cumbersome task. With so many companies and cars to choose from, how
do you pick the right one?
Linda Dixon-Ponzetto, owner of
Golden Years Limousine Service, has
provided a few important factors to
keep in mind when choosing a limousine. Having over 17 years hands-on
experience, she advises you to choose
a company that has experience in the
business.
Also, take the time to see the vehicle you are renting. You might be able
to get a good sense from online photos, but seeing it in person will ensure
you get the exact transportation you
expect.
Price is obviously a major factor.
Limousine companies sometimes have
layers of fees that they add on to your
base rate. Youll see fuel surcharges,
definitely Daddys boys, he says.

However, they turn to Stacy for nurturing.
Whenever they are sick or sad, they call for
Stacy. She has been amazing in how warmly
she has responded. Im also blessed to have
such wonderful in-laws. Stacys parents and
her extended family have really stepped up
to help beyond my wildest dreams. I am
so lucky. I
administration costs, tolls and gratuity
for the driver. Suddenly, your bill is 30
percent higher than you were quoted.
Linda recommends making sure your
final price is all-inclusive.
Safety is a vital factor in your
choice. Check to make sure the company has a valid certification.
Overcrowding is a safety hazard. Some
companies try to make extra money
by carrying more passengers than
their cars are designed for. Linda recommends counting the number of
seatbelts to find out how many passengers the car is supposed to hold.
All of the vehicles in her fleet carry a
fire extinguisher, first-aid kit, flares,
and window punch as well as seatbelt
cutters.
All of the attendants in Lindas fleet
carry toiletries and amenities you
may need while in their care.
