T
he same disquiet spirit that inhabited

George Daynor now possesses Jeff
Tirante. Daynor, following the dictates
of an angel, constructed a fantasy kingdom
Vinelands Palace of Depression80 years
ago. He was described several years ago in
The New York Times as someone for whom
eccentric is an insufficient adjective.
Tirante often stays in a tent on the palace
grounds, protecting it during the peculiar
rebuilding project he helps oversee. The free-
spirited artist, musician, and photographer,
meets an identical standard.
A destitute Daynor walked to Vineland
from Upper Darby, Pennsylvania during the
Great Depression in 1929, saying he was a
gold miner from Alaska who lost his fortune
in the stock market crash. He bought a
swamp with a junkyard on it for a dollar an
acre and built a preposterous mansion of
bricks, scrap metal, clay, and motley items,
which ended up drawing possibly as many as
a quarter million tourists from around the
world.
Tirante, who was raised in Vineland and
returned a few years ago from Philadelphia
in the midst of our deep recession, is the
only person known to have been married on
the grounds and lovingly tends to the unfin-
ished full-sized replica of the palace, acting
as a barrier against vandals he believes
would destroy it. His knowledge of, and
admiration for, Daynor and his unique cre-
ation knows no bounds.
Its just the synergy I have with the

The Freedom
of Retirement
Correction
On page 2 of the September 21 issue, Wilfrido Landau, owner of Skye Graphics,
was misquoted with regard to his previous experience. The correction is: I worked
as a graphic designer for a major newspaper before growing my own business.
I
t probably wont come as much of
surprise to you if I tell you that sum-
mer is over. I know for a lot of people
it ended on Labor Day weekend. I felt
that way myself when I experienced my
first Labor Day shore weekend many, many
years ago. I couldnt believe the sad faces
on a holiday.
Growing up in Michigan, Labor Day
mostly meant it was time to go back to
schooland get ready for winter (fall in
Michigan sometimes lasts about two weeks).
This years Labor Day was a little differ-
ent for me, though, because it marked the
official start of my retirement. Reason is the
grandkids are all in school.
In case you were wondering why Ive
been negligent in my column writing (I
skipped a couple of turns in case you hadnt
noticed) its because of this newly found
freedom. Looks like I may have finally
found my true callingdoing nothing at all.
Actually, Ive been sort of down in the
dumps thinking about how quickly the kids
are growing up. Its probably just a matter of
time before I get my first text message from
a grandchild/BBF (OMG). Thats assuming I
break down and buy a cell phone. And, of
course I will, because I wont want to miss a
single call.
Anyway, here I am with nothing to do.
My wife, who shares some of the
babysitting duties, wasnt the least bit fazed
by the fact that weve lost our jobs. A for-
mer teacher, shes got herself a few little
volunteer gigs. Of course, she was never in
the military, where the first rule is: never
volunteer.
Its not that I dont want to help out. I
do, sort of. Part of it is that I dont want to
belong to anything. Groucho Marx
summed it up for me, when he said: I
wouldnt belong to any club that would
have me as a member.
That might be a little harsh, because I
know for a fact that many of the local serv-
ice clubs do a lot of very good work in the
community. Problem for me is Im not a
very social guy.
For many yearsyears when it probably
would have done me some good business-
wiseI avoided those kinds of clubs. Mostly
because, as a small business owner, I simply
didnt have the time.
When I wasnt working, I was exercising.
That was my hobby. Now, I cant exercise.
Or, at least, my knees cant.
My wife says I need to get a hobby. Easy
for her to say. Shes always had a lot of
things that interested her. Me, not so much.
Sports are out because of the above men-
tioned knees. Collecting anything is kind of
iffy for me because I really dont care much
about stuff.
I did tell my wife I would be happy to
collect duston either of the couches. She
aptly pointed out that Ive been doing that
for years and I should try something new.
Years ago, when I closed my business
and before all the grandchildren, I men-
tioned that I might be interested in taking
up whittling. Next thing I knew she
bought me a nice set of whittling tools.
Theyve been collecting dust for almost 10
years now.
Maybe, Ill give it a shot. Or maybe
another grandchild will come along.
In the meantime, if you hear about any
woodcarving classes drop me a line at:
paul@grapevinenewspaper.com.
You heard it here first: Gov. Christie will

definitely run for president.
How do I know?
A careful analysis of the pictures of
Christie with President Obama (side by
side, they look like the number 10) when he
visited to inspect the storm damage told me
all I need to know.
Seems to me people are sick and tired of
the career politicians who worry more
about style than substance. If one look at
Christie doesnt convince you that this is
man of substance, then nothing will. I

Prevention Program Targets
Young Women
In response to the growing need to pro-
vide young women with the necessary
skills to say no to drugs, alcohol and pre-
mature sexual activity at an early age, the
Boys & Girls Club of Vineland runs
SMART Girls.
The goal of the SMART Girls program
is to help girls develop healthy attitudes
and lifestyles. To accomplish this, the
program addresses health and social
issues that are specific to female Club
members. SMART Girls is designed for
two age-group levels, 8 to 12 and 13 to 17,
according to their physiological, mental
and emotional needs. In addition, the
program is intended to help girls make
positive decisions at this critical stage in
their development.
SMART Girls is exactly the kind of
program weve been looking for to reach
our younger female members, said Chris
Volker, director of the Boys & Girls of
Vineland. We have a great deal of confi-
dence in the effectiveness of SMART Girls
because its based upon the award-winning
SMART Moves program that weve had in
place for more than seven years.
SMART Girls takes the skills, mastery
and resistance training concept even fur-
ther by providing gender- and age-specific
information to help young women devel-
op the necessary skills to have a long and
healthy life.
We are pleased to have a program that
improves relationships between young
women and the older significant females
in their lives. We think its important for a
young woman to establish a positive rela-
tionship with an adult female, a relation-
ship that can foster self-esteem and a
can-do attitude, said Volker.
SMART Girls is held at the Boys & Girls
Club of Vinelands two sites on a weekly
basis, namely: Carl Arthur Center,
Tuesdays, 6 7 p.m.; and Success Center,
Thursdays, 6 - 7 p.m.
The Boys & Girls Club of Vineland has
been at the forefront of youth program-
ming since its inception in 2004. For addi-
tional information, call 856-896-0244/

priate rapport with students, and the appli-
cation and certification process.
The class meets 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fee is
$99. Call CCCs office of Professional and
Community Education at 856-691-8600

Steered Straight Comes to Winslow Elementary
Steered Straight recently presented its Straight Talk Bullying and Bias
assembly to Winslow Elementary School faculty and students. The assembly
addresses the growing problem of bullying and the increasing need for effective
prevention.
Students learned there are three roles in bullying: The Bully, The Target and
The Bystanders. These three roles are referred to as the Bully Triangle.
Students were changed by what they saw and heard through video stories
and speakers, they where instructed to empower themselves, use their voice and
be heard whether the target or bystander. Two special guest speakers, Super
Bowl Champions Hank Poteat and Thomas Tapeh, former Eagles halfback,
shared their life stories, while also promoting the importance of education.

Ellison Names 2011
Eagle Award Winner
The Ellison School honors Ray
Palmieri of Buena by awarding him the
EAGLE Award, the schools highest
honor. Created in 2009, as part of The
Ellison Schools 50th Anniversary, the
EAGLE award is presented annually to
an individual (or team of people) who
demonstrates commitment (above and
beyond the call of duty) to helping
Ellison is extremely fortunate to
have Ray Palmieri as part of its school
family, says Caroline Chapman, Head
of School. He loves bringing his grand-
children to school and, often without
even being asked, sees something that
needs doing and just gets it done.
Most recently, Palmieri designed
and installed a 121 kilowatt solar
power system for The Ellison School at
no charge. In addition, Palmieri
designed and will soon install an edu-
cational component consisting of a
real-time monitoring system that will
demonstrate the environmental bene-
fits of solar power. Students will be
able to see the number of trees being
saved and the amount of reduced
emissions as
a result of
converting to
solar power.
Palmieri
contributes to
other area
schools, hos-
pitals, the
Multiple
Sclerosis
Society,
Vineland and
Buena baseball teams, Big Brothers
Big Sisters of Cumberland County,
National Drug and Alcohol
Organization, and has donated electri-
cal work to a number of area churches.
Palmieri graduated from Vineland
High School, then joined The Electrical
Apprentice Training Program. He worked
as a union electrician until opening R.
Palmieri Electric in 1984 with just two
employees. The company now employs
nearly 200 people. Palmieri recently
formed a new business venture called
Palmieri Solar Solutions.
Palmieri lives in Buena with his wife
of 40 years, Jeannette. They have two
children and four grandchildren.

Empty Bowls Soup Sampling
Support Community
FoodBank
The Madd Potters Studio at the
Woodland Village Shoppes on Route 9 is
sponsoring its Second Annual Empty
Bowl Soup Sampling Fundraiser on
October 15 from noon to 3 p.m. For a $10
donation, you can purchase a unique one
of a kind bowl and enjoy some soup.
Proceeds benefit the Community
FoodBank of New Jersey/Southern
Branch which serves those in need in
Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and
southeastern Burlington counties. Local
restaurants, donating soup for tasting
include: Sand Barrens, Congress Hall,
Molino's, Harbor View, Flip Flopz, Time
to Dine, Island Grill, Fuze, Oyster Bay,
Lobster House, Atkinson's and more. Call
609-463-9099 for more information.
We learned that more people than
ever before in the history of The
Community FoodBank of New
Jersey/Southern Branch are food inse-
cure and we wanted to help, said
Amanda Leipert co-owner of The Madd
Potters Studio. So we combined our love
of making pottery with something that
can help those in need. While 80 per-
cent of the proceeds benefit the
FoodBank, 20 percent goes to Empty
Bowls efforts to fight hunger worldwide.
According to Feeding America one is
six Americans struggle with hunger
issues. In 2010 the local FoodBank dis-
tributed a record 7.1 million pounds of
food, a 23 percent increase over the pre-
vious year.
Hospice Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are a significant part of any
hospice organization. Trained volunteers
provide care and support services that are
most important in the delivery of the hos-
pice concept to patients and their care-
givers. Would you have a few extra hours
each month to spend doing something
worthwhile and valuable? Are you com-
passionate, reliable and nonjudgmental?
If so, your time and talent can make a
positive difference in the lives of SJH
HospiceCares patients and their families
and caregivers.
Volunteers assist staff by providing
comfort and respite to the patient and
family/caregiver during one of the most
difficult times in a familys life, said
Brenda Freitag, volunteer coordinator for
SJH HospiceCare. They also help in the
areas of clerical/office tasks and fund
raising activities. I am looking for volun-
teers in Salem, Cumberland and southern
Gloucester counties.
Volunteers do need to be educated
about hospice. Our volunteer training
practices and attributes of the emergency
department focusing on their commit-
ment to excellence and innovation.
The Lantern Award name was selected
by a survey of ENA members and is remi-
niscent of Florence Nightingale who is
credited with changing nursing from a
mostly untrained job to a skilled medical
profession. She is sometimes referred to
as the Lady of the Lamp for her actions
during the Crimean War when she would
work deep into the night checking on

Ed Geletka, President of Colonial Bank.
Our employees and our customers look
forward to working with these organiza-
tions as they strive to make the holidays
brighter for needy families.
Each year, Colonial Bank partners

the efforts of Bank employees and cus-
tomers. In 2010, the bank supported

Heaven in Bridgeton, and the Pitman
Pantry in Pitman. I
class begins on Monday, October 10, at
9 a.m. We will hold six classes in total
over a period of two weeks. All classes
will be held in the Bridgeton Health
Center located at 333 Irving Avenue,
Bridgeton, N.J. from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Classes cover the history and philoso-
phy of hospice, physical aspects of dis-
ease and pain management, communica-
tion skills, psychological responses to
death and dying, spirituality, bereave-
ment and volunteer responsibilities and
opportunities.
SJH HospiceCare, a program of SJH
Community Services, and a service of
South Jersey Healthcare, is a not-for-
profit, charitable organization. The
agency is supported by insurance reim-
bursement, corporations, grants, fund
raising activities and tax-deductible
donations from caring individuals. It
provides services for patients and fami-
lies/caregivers in Cumberland, Salem
and portions of Atlantic and Gloucester
Counties regardless of their financial
circumstances..

volunteering for SJH HospiceCare or to

I
t was my birthday, and Jill
and I had spent the day
walking around
Philadelphia, eating and
visiting the National Constitution
Center when the rain started. It
had been a nice day thus far, a
surprise trip to the city. All I
knew when I left the house that
morning was that Berkeley had
been dropped off at my mother-
in-laws and I was told to bring
two pairs of shoes, one for walk-
ing and one for looking sharp.
After finishing the walking
portion of our day, we got into
the car and I plugged an address into the
GPS device that would take us to South
Philly. We were certainly going out to eat,
but where? A brewpub perhaps, to sample
some local craft-brewed beers? I really
didnt know. We eventually found a park-
ing space, another parallel parking job
expertly maneuvered by my wife, and
walked onto Passyunk Avenue. As we
turned the corner, the mystery was over.
We had arrived at Le Virtu, a restaurant
that has been on our wish list for years.
How did I not see this coming! I let out a
genuinely surprised exclamation.
The front door is actually on the side of
the building, next to a grass-covered
courtyard dominated by a gorgeous mural
of a scene from Abruzzo, the region of
Italy in which the restaurant specializes.
This oasis of plant life and art foreshad-
owed the atmosphere and cuisine inside.
Jill and I were seated at the end of one
of two small dining rooms, right next to
the bread-cutting station, with the subtle
yeasty aroma of fresh-baked bread wafting
over us. Our waiter, Freddy, introduced
himself and after reviewing the menus, I
ordered for the both of us. Our wine
arrived, a Nero DAvola from Sicily, picked
out because I knew it would remind us of
our time there. That particular grape is
common on the Italian island, and is one
of my favorites because of its jammy cher-
ry notes; bold, but not overwhelming.
Served in nice thin wine glasses, it was
quite lovely.
Our friend Henry had turned us onto
Le Virtu a while ago, and we had even
made reservations a year ago that fell
through because of one of our epic snow-
storms. I even met the owner, Francis, last
year after the concert put on by his friends
DisCanto who played at the Little Theatre
on Sherman Avenue. We hit it right off,
talking about Italy and the foods, wines,

and people of that country. It was good to
finally be eating as his restaurant.
The appetizers arrived. Porchetta-
stuffed green olives, breaded and deep-
fried, served with a wedge of lemon. So
simple and very tasty. The flesh of the olive
was thick, but not too salty and the
porchetta (roasted pork) stuffing was heav-
enly. I dont know how they got the bread-
ing on the outside of the olive so perfectly
even. The wedge of lemon, when squeezed
over the olives, added just enough acidity
to cut any fattiness from my palate.
My grilled house-made sausage
served over a thin polenta that acted as
more of a sauceand roasted red peppers
was simple and satisfying, and the wine
went so well with this dish. Jill had a
salad of shredded radicchio, sliced heir-
loom apples, and Gorgonzola cheese. The
salad was full of bold flavors and con-
trasts, bitter, sweet, salty, soura tasty
menagerie of flavors.
Finishing up the main portion of the
meal were two unique entrees: chickpea
stew with homemade pasta squares and
Parmesan cheese, and wide, thin pap-
pardelle noodles that hid a tender and rich
stewed rabbit ragu in each fold of the pasta.
For dessert, fried ricotta dumplings
with an affogato dipping sauce for me, and
saffron panna cotta for Jill, were just
enough to fill us up. The panna cotta was
especially lovely; the texture was almost
like a cheesecake and the saffron was per-
fectly subtle. A honeysuckle sauce driz-
zled over the dish and tiny little fried
beignets added crunch to a typically even-
textured dessert.
At Henrys suggestion, we finished the
evening by ordering digestif. Root tasted
like a very grown-up root beer, dark and
shimmering in a tiny glass, it smelled of
sassafras and childhood, but tasted like
the strong liquor that it was. The first sip
surprised me with its strength, but it did
calm my belly. Jill had a saffron and mint
infused spirit, which could have easily
tasted like an overdone mouthwash, but
was sophisticated and regal, a wonderful
finish to the meal.
We lingered over our spirits, chatting
and observing the other diners. As is usual
when we talk, the conversation tended to
revolve around the baby and the bakery.
Politics and the future crept in, though,
and as it was a milestone birthday for me,
the future was especially present on our
lips. What we talked about, youll find out
in my next article. I
DisCanto, the Abruzzese band that I wrote
about last year (and mentioned in this arti-
cle) is coming back to Vineland to play at
The Little Theatre next week on October 12.
Their style of Italian folk music is truly
amazing, and I highly recommend attend-
ing. Call 856-899-5112 and leave a message
to reserve tickets, which are $15 (cash only).

BACKYARD COMPOSTING WORKSHOP
The Cumberland County Improvement Authority, in conjunction with the
Cumberland Master Gardeners Program and Rutgers Cooperative Extension of
Cumberland County will host a Composting Workshop. This is for residents who
want to learn effective ways to turn organic waste into compost and how they can
improve their backyard composting techniques and get started composting. Please
be prepared to be outside for a portion of this program. The workshop will be held
on Saturday, October 29, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at Wheaton Arts, 1501
Glasstown Road, Millville, NJ.
Residents can select from two course choices. Take the workshop only for $10 or
take the workshop and bring home a Garden Gourmet Home Composting unit for
only $50. (Only a limited number of compost units will be offered at this course.)
Master Composter Virginia Lamb will lead the course instruction. She has over 20
years experience in environmental education with a focus on solid waste manage-
ment, waste reduction, backyard composting, organic gardening and school gardens.
More than 26 percent of the garbage we discard is organic wasteplant and
food materials that could be kept out of landfills and turned into rich compost,
what gardeners call black gold. Organic waste decomposing in landfills is the
number one source of the greenhouse gas methane, which is 20 times more potent
than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the earths atmosphere. Eliminating organic
waste by composting effectively reduces greenhouse gas.
Come learn simple, effective ways to turn organic waste into compost. And the
program will be expanded this year to include more in depth information on soil
nutrient analysis. Lamb will also spend time talking about compost tea and worm
composting. Taking this course you can reduce waste, create a great garden
resource, and help to slow global warming.
Wheaton Arts is home of the Cumberland County Master Gardeners Program
and is a compost demonstration site where residents can see several working com-
posters by different manufacturers. To register for the workshop and reserve your
space and compost unit, you must call 856-451-2800 and ask for Viola Carson or
Tammy Commander. Please indicate your selection of just the course at $10 or the
course and compost unit for $50. The cost is payable to the Extension Service
Programs Account. Registration deadline is Monday, October 24, 2011.

I like watching the kids flourish, he said.
Anytime kids are involved in sports and
keep their schoolwork up, its a good thing.
Kelly also shared with the crowd some
business advice. Surround yourself with
good people, he said, as he cautioned
against overuse of current communication
techniques in place of personal face-to-face
exchanges. He also discussed the importance
of networking and sharing ideas that can
help each other out.
The South Jersey/Philadelphia area is a

In Our Schools I
Picking Pecks of Pickles
Ellison Interact Club members were
determined not to let a little rain get in
their way of picking cucumbers for people
in need. Dodging the raindrops, the stu-
dents visited Sheppard Farms in Cedarville,
NJ, last week where they spent part of the
morning in the field. They worked in teams
to pick cucumbers to be donated by
Sheppard Farms to Gateway Community
Action Partnership and to the Food Bank of
South Jersey. Called "gleaning," the stu-
dents snatched up the good cucumbers
still left after the original harvest, keeping
them from going to waste.
"There's nothing quite a like a day in a
muddy field when you're a kid, especially
when you get to have fun while doing some-
thing good," says Mary Jane Kinkade,
Interact Club Advisor. "Part of our goal is to
show young people that service is fun, with
the hope that they will make it a lifelong
practice."
Youth-sized versions of Rotary Clubs,
Interact Clubs are formed to teach the
importance of service learning to children as
young as 10 years old. Ellison's Interact Club
is the first to form at the middle school level
in this Rotary district and was chartered by
the Rotary Club of Vineland in May.
Spencer Infranco (Vineland), lifts a bin of cucumbers up to a Sheppard Farm
employee to add to the large collection bins on the tractor.
Building "Boxes of Love"
Imagine that everything you receive
for Christmas fits in one shoe box.
Thats what the 28 members of The
Ellison Schools Interact Club were
asked as they set to work in teams to
build 28 "Boxes of Love"shoe-box-
sized plastic bins filled to the brim with
items requested by the children who
live at Armando Rosenberg Orphanage
in Santo Domingo.
"The kids did an amazing job with
this project," says Kinkade. "They spent
three weeks collecting the items need-
ed and then had a blast making sure
that 'their child' would receive the best
box ever." The boxes will arrive in time
for Christmas, along with a supply of
food donated by area Rotary Clubs.
This service project is one of many
that Ellison Interact Club members will
perform this year.
Members of The Ellison School's Interact
Club fill "Boxes of Love" to the brim for
"their kids" who live in the Armando
Rosenberg Orphanage in Santo Domingo.

T
he public figure of Charles
Kline Landis is best known as
founder and benefactor of
Vineland, an image that took
root in 1861 with his visionary design for a
utopian city, and then developed through-
out the remainder of the decade with the
generosity he extended to a number of
early citizens. But Landiss background
and private life, while less familiar, also
offer a fascinating tale filled with twists,
dramatic turns and unguarded moments
that go a long way in explaining what
shaped this lawyer and entrepreneur.
According to the Biographical Review,
an 1896 book published in Boston, the
Landis legacy can be traced back to Italy
where the family name was originally
Landi. The Casa Landi website identifies
Giovanni Landi as an ancestor of the
Vineland founder living in Florence in the
1590s. The online site reports that the family
was distinguished, wealthy and not without
influence, Giovannis cousins being the
Princes of the Holy Roman Empire.
Disgusted with the corruption he saw in
the Catholic Church, Giovanni became an
early convert to Protestantism during the
Reformation of the 1500s, an act that
placed him in jeopardy of facing a Catholic
Inquisition that could have easily resulted
in his death. Casa Landi, however, explains
that Charles V Hapsburg served as a friend
and political protector of the family.
Vulnerable after the death of Charles V,
Giovanni ran into some political trouble.
Neither the Biographical Review nor Casa
Landi cites the specifics of the problem, but
the online source does report that the mat-
ter occurred in Tuscany and that it was
more than Giovanni could handle. Afraid
that the Inquisition might be closing in, the
Landi clan abandoned its native country for
Switzerland, where property was pur-
chased and the family name Germanized to
a more acceptable Landis.
In his new setting, Giovanni Landi
became John Landis, but a change in
name and location did not prevent the
Inquisition from tracking him down. In
1600, John became a victim of the
Catholic Churchs attempt to counter the
Protestant movement. Like all those who
had converted to Protestantism, he was
found guilty of heresy. Refusing to recant
and, according to Casa Landi, ordering his
accuser to leave Switzerland, he was
beheaded.
The death of John Landis was one
example of how the prevailing reign of per-
secution that confronted much of Europe
left many with only one option if they were
to live in peace with their beliefs. Like
countless other English and European
natives at the time, Johns sons Felix,
Benjamin and John sought religious free-
dom in the New World, arriving within the
same time frame as William Penn in what
would become Pennsylvania. They settled
in what are now Bucks and Lancaster
counties, and as of 1896, according to the
Biographical Review, the descendants of
John Landis numbered in the thousands
and owned much of those counties.
Charles K. Landis grandfather, John,
was a resident of Lancaster, who worked
as a merchant and farmer. The
Biographical Review also cites that he was
a landowner, a magistrate, a high-ranking
Free Mason and a member of the German
Lutheran church. He married a woman
identified only as Miss Kline, whose
Protestant family, originally from
Wiirtemberg, Germany, emigrated to the
New World around the same time as
Landis descendants and for similar rea-
sons of religious persecution.
One of the offspring of the Lancaster
couple was Michael G., father of Charles
K., but the Biographical Review reveals
that Vinelands founder had a wealth of
aunts and uncles. While Mary died and
Ann passed away in early and middle life,
respectively, the rest of Michael G.s sib-
lings led successful and sometimes adven-
turous lives. Eliza and Matilda both mar-
ried California men and settled on the
West Coast. Amelia, betrothed to a local
man, stayed in Lancaster as did Jesse who
became solicitor for the city. Israel ran a
saddle store in St. Joseph, Missouri, and
Edmund had a successful career as a
physician in Chicago. John, the adventurer
of the group, left to join the Texas Rangers
and was never heard from again. It is
believed that he met his end at the Battle
of San Jacinto.
But Michael G Landis had a different
destiny from his siblings as time would
reveal. I

Fall is Best Time to Plant
New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture
Douglas H. Fisher and New Jersey Nursery
and Landscape Association (NJNLA)
President Jan-Marie Traynor recently
kicked off the first official Fall Gardening
Month in New Jersey with a ceremony at
Halls Garden Center in Berkeley Heights.
Fisher presented Traynor with a procla-
mation from Governor Chris Christie,
which declares October Fall Gardening
Month because fall is the best time of year
for planting new trees and shrubs, as well
as establishing new turf grass and planting
bulbs for spring impact.
We urge everyone to visit their local
garden center or nursery or call their land-
scaper to take advantage of the great plant-
ing weather October has to offer, said
Secretary Fisher. Be sure to look for the
Jersey Grown tag to know youre buying
something accustomed to our states cli-
mate and is insect and disease-free.
Traynor said while October is ideal for
getting out in the garden, planting can be
successfully accomplished now through
November and often even into December.
She said cooler air temperatures coupled
with soil temperatures that are still warm
make for ideal conditions for new plant-
ings, allowing the roots to acclimate to
their new location without the stress that
summer heat can cause.
The members of NJNLA are experi-
enced landscape and nursery professionals
who are best able to help homeowners
achieve the kind of long-term satisfaction
with their home landscape that all
deserve, said Traynor. NJNLA members,
whether at a garden center or as a land-
scape professional, can help the homeown-
er select the best plant for any area and
ensure that it is properly planted and cared
for so that the landscape can add value to
their home for years to come. Combine
this with the skill of our NJNLA Nursery
members who produce the best plants in
the country and you have a winning com-
bination, sure to produce great results in
every season.
Horticulture is a large sector of New
Jerseys agricultural industry and con-
tributes greatly to the states economy,
bringing in $451.1 million in revenue in
2010, a 17.2 percent increase over the prior
year. New Jersey ranks eighth in the nation
in total horticultural production, sixth in
nursery stock, fifth in potted herbaceous
plants and fourth in cut flowers.
New Jerseys green industry, from pro-
duction and distribution to retail and
installation, is seventh in the nation in
total employment, with its 47,000 busi-
nesses providing 68,000 full and part-time
jobs in the state.
An NJNLA member, Halls Garden
Center is a second-generation, family-
owned business with 6,100 square feet of
state-of-the-art greenhouses.
We are known for consistent, unique
producthard to find, unusual plants, said
Robert LaHoff, one of Halls owners.
Quality and customer service are most
important to Halls.
Halls, started in 1978 by LaHoffs
father-in-law, is a full landscape design and
build company with a full service florist
and gift shop on three acres in what
LaHoff calls a killer location.
The NJNLA is New Jersey's leading
association for the advancement of green
industry businesses. Members consist of
Nursery Growers, Garden Centers, and
Landscape Professionals operating within
the Garden State. NJNLA provides regular
communication, education, and network-
ing opportunities to its members and the
landscape community. To learn more about

project of Joe Olsen's late wife Julie Olsen
and Barbara Orcsi, the wife of Pete Orsci
in 1978, more than 33 years ago.
As the greenhouse business grew, Joe
and Pete took over the operations growing
flowers. In 1993, Joe took over operation
of the greenhouse business on a full-time
basis and Orcsi left the business.
Today, J & J Family Greenhouses cov-
ers about five acres of land on Maxim
Avenue, near Stillman Avenue, in
Deerfield Township. They raise mums in
the fall and a variety of flowers in hanging
baskets and potted plants in the spring.
Plants they grow for the wholesale market
include Ivy Geraniums, Super Petunias
and impatiens. J & J Family Greenhouses
grows, packages and delivers its products
to its customers in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.
Their mums and other plants are
grown in pots in the fields with a special
watering system that delivers water right
to the plant, thereby conserving water.
Farm to School Recipes
Developed
On the final day of the first-ever Jersey
Fresh Farm to School Week, New Jersey
Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H.
Fisher and Rutgers Food Innovation
Center officials unveiled several recipes
developed through a $51,000 grant to cre-
ate new food items derived from New
Jersey agricultural products for use in the
National School Lunch Program.
Students, as well as officials visiting
Gloria M. Sabater Elementary School in
Vineland sampled whole grain Jersey
blueberry muffins, Jersey eggplant rollati-
ni with Jersey Tomato primavera sauce
and Jersey blueberry and cranberry
yogurt parfaits.
More and more schools are participat-
ing in our Farm to School program, serv-
ing Jersey Fresh produce as part of their
school meals program during the growing
season, said Secretary Fisher. But, these
newly developed recipes will enable
schools to serve locally grown produce all
year long in the form of Made with Jersey
Fresh or Jersey Fresh Milk products.
The Department of Agriculture
received the U.S. Department of
Agriculture Federal-State Marketing
Improvement Program Grant late last year
and has worked with the Food Innovation
Center to develop single serving, innova-
tive items that meet the nutritional, cost
and shelf life requirements necessary to
be utilized in school meals.
The Rutgers Food Innovation Center,
a program of the New Jersey Agricultural
Experiment Center is a unique food busi-
ness incubator and processing facility.
The center has been commissioned
through this grant to research, develop
and determine commercialization oppor-
tunities in order to bring the concepts to
school cafeterias throughout New Jersey.
We have met with many food service
directors across the state to understand
their preferences for locally produced
products that will work well within their
kitchen parameters, meet healthy nutri-
tional guidelines, and deliver on pricing,
said Diane Holtaway, associate director of
client services at the Food Innovation
Center and project director. A key next
step is to run sensory taste tests with stu-
dents where hopefully we gain a thumbs-
up. We will definitely use their comments
to finalize the recipes. Our goal is to make
the end products a triple win-win for the
farmers, win for the students and win for
the school food service directors.
The purpose of the grant program is to
develop innovative ways to benefit farm-
ers. A significant market opportunity
exists if the seasonal availability of New
Jersey Agricultural products to the school
meals program could be expanded.
Annually, more than 800,000 pounds of
locally grown fruits and vegetables are
distributed to schools under a cooperative
agreement with the U.S. Department of

Defense. Due to the September through
June school year, it would be difficult to
expand upon those quantities.
The Department of Agriculture is
actively engaged in connecting schools
with farmers and local produce distribu-
tors to bring more New Jersey produce
into the school meals program. The
Department, in cooperation with the
New Jersey Farm to School Network cel-
ebrated Farm to School Week September
26-30, which takes place the last week in
September each year to promote the
states agricultural industry and encour-
age children and their families to
increase their consumption of fresh pro-
duce. The week also seeks to educate
about the health benefits of eating fruits
and vegetables and show the connection
between a healthy diet and success in
school.
Through the Farm to School program,
schools throughout New Jersey can
source more than 100 types of Jersey
Fresh produce grown here in the Garden
State. Opportunities exist for state farmers
to provide agricultural products to school
food service departments throughout the
growing season. The object of serving
healthy meals in school cafeterias is to
improve student nutrition, provide health
and nutrition education opportunities that
will last a lifetime, as well as support local
farmers.
Additionally, the farm to school pro-
gram includes school garden activities,
which help teach students where food
comes from by growing it them-
selves.Students benefit by learning the sci-
ence behind farming and the nutritional
values of fresh products, as well as gain a
greater understanding and appreciation of
the environment. Educators can use
school garden programs to teach any sub-
jectmath, science, language arts, health
and nutrition or social studies. Finally,
farm to school programs create a sense of
community for all involved with the relat-
ed activities.
Farm to School Week is our opportu-
nity to reinforce the importance of using
fresh, wholesome local produce in school
meals, but also to educate students about
where their food comes from and how
vital it is to have farms in New Jersey,
said Secretary Fisher. We hope more
schools will be inspired to partner with
farmers to purchase Jersey Fresh fruits
and vegetables and start their own school
gardens.
The bill creating Farm to School Week
was sponsored by Senators Jim Whelan
and Steven Oroho and Assemblymen John
McKeon and John Burzichelli and
Assemblywoman Annette Quijano and
then signed by Governor Chris Christie in
January.
Other events held to celebrate Jersey
Fresh Farm to School Week this year
included a school garden tour at Riverside
Elementary School in Princeton, an apple
tasting at Village Elementary School in
West Windsor; a school food service tour
of Tri-County Cooperative Auction
Market in East Windsor; and a Jersey
Fresh cooking contest at P.S. #17 in
Jersey City.

T
wo weeks ago, I devoted a col-
umn to thanking the volunteers
who make possible all of the
good things that happen in the
downtown. Over the past week, I was
reminded again of how valuable that help
is, as we had a number of special events
take placenone of which would have
been successful without the work of vol-
unteers.
Last Saturday, we held our 5th Annual
BBQ-n-Chili Cook-off, which was spon-
sored by Susquehanna Bank and support-
ed by Comcast. While the weather wasnt
beautiful, it was nice enough for the event
to occur. That meant having lots of volun-
teers on hand to help set up tables, chairs
and tents, sell tasting kits, pour beer and
wine, coordinate the homemade wine
competition and then break everything
down once the event was over. We can
always rely on a strong core of our regular
volunteers to lend a hand, but this year we
were joined by members of the Vineland
High School Tennis Team and their help
was invaluable. In all, we had more than
30 volunteers working to make this event
a success, and they donated more than
200 hours of labor to the cause.
This past Friday and Saturday we held
our first-ever Downtown Wedding
Weekend, a retail event designed to bring
attention and people to many of the great
wedding-related businesses we have on
Landis Avenue. The work on this event
was carried out primarily by Brian Lankin
of Als Shoes, who is a business owner, a
member of the Main Street Vineland
Board of Directors and one of our volun-
teers. Brian put in countless hours to help
organize and execute the event, from
attending planning meetings to securing
commitments from participants and more;
and at the end of it all, he has distin-
guished himself as a business owner who
believes in the revitalization of Landis
Avenue and is willing to work to see that
it continues.
While Downtown Wedding Weekend
was going on, we had nearly 40 volun-
teersadults, children, and even Mayor
and Mrs. Romanocome out this past
Saturday and help beautify the downtown
during our annual Fall Planting Day. With
truckloads of beautiful mums and other
fall foliage donated by Ivy Acres of
Vineland and The Flower Farm of
Millville, Main Street Vineland volunteers
spent several hours cleaning up the mini-
parks at Landis Avenue and the Boulevard
and filling them with the colors of fall. On
this one morning alone, our volunteers
donated more than 100 hours of their time
to making downtown more beautiful.
Looking ahead, well be calling on vol-
unteers next weekend to help us with our
annual Soap Box Derby and Fun Day,
sponsored by Ace Plumbing, Heating and
Electrical Supplies. After doing this for
the past five years, our team of volun-
teersled by Fred Cristelli of Lawn and
Garden Landscapingwho organize and
carry out this event are experts, but this
year, the Boys & Girls Club of Vineland,
along with our local Kiwanis, will have
lots of great games and activities for chil-
dren of all ages to participate in. With big-
ger events come bigger volunteer needs,
so if youre interested in lending a hand,
we can certainly use you. Just give me a
call at 794-8653 and I will be glad to talk
to you about how we can use your help.
****
Join us on Wednesday, October 19,
from 6 to 9 p.m. for our A Taste of

Delsea High Students Travel To Spain
Students, staff and community members of Delsea Regional High School trav-
eled throughout Spain from June 22 to July 1 on a private tour, where they saw
amazing sights and experienced the language and culture of Spain. The trip was
organized by Delsea Spanish teachers, Mrs. Michele Hill and Mrs. Heidi Salerno
and gave students the opportunity to experience first-hand things that are taught
in the classroom, and provided an extension to what they have already learned.
According to senior Dom Onorato who attended the trip, I was glad to have this
once in a lifetime opportunity to visit a foreign country experiencing all the histo-
ry, cities, foods and atmosphere of a diverse culture. Other student attendees,
Tom Pratz and Erin Anderson, echoed his sentiments and added, as it was our
first time traveling outside of the United States, it was interesting to see how
other cultures live, and we increased our understanding of the language as well
as learned to become more fluent in the language while enjoying the beautiful
country.

place, he said. It was a monument to what
a person could do in the face of adversity.
And our project itself is bigger than the peo-
ple who work on it.
After standing for 30 years, the palace,
with a foundation made of truck and bus
bodies, fell in on itself and deteriorated
quickly following the departure of Daynors
common law wife, business partner and
muse, Florence; his serving a prison term for
lying to the FBI in a kidnapping investiga-
tion; his hospitalization in 1961; and his death
a few years later. (Accounts had him between
83 and 103 years old). The remnants of the
structure were demolished by the city.
Now, the walls are rising anew on the
Mill Road site of the forgotten landmark in
a tenacious 10-year struggle led by Tirante,
52, and Kevin Kirchner, 61, a State of New
Jersey licensed uniform code construction
official with the City of Vineland. With key
volunteers from the construction industry,
New Jersey Youth Corps, Boy Scouts, school
groups, and the general public, the two
visionaries have braved skepticism, persist-
ent malicious damage and theft, the city
permitting process, and the Department of
Environmental Protection in a quixotic
quest to totally rebuildcompletely from
recycled materialsthe fantastically whim-
sical and utterly unique castle.
Some local residents, following their
own fanciful spirits, donate what some
would call junk to the efforthundreds of
empty champagne bottles, statuettes, an old
motorcycle frame, broken glass (We have a
moratorium on green and brown right now,
said Tirante), and auto parts including
antique hood ornaments and hubcaps. A
dozen large piles of old bricks from the col-
lapsed Levoy Theatre in Millville lie along
one side of the site. The crew interweaves
the incongruous items with the bricks in the
walls and scatters them around the rooms
of the bizarre structure, just as Daynor did.
Tirantes partner in the outlandish ven-
ture is an otherwise apparently normal
bureaucrat, father of two and grandfather of
two, lifelong Vinelander, who said, We all
have our quirks. While not nearly as color-
ful as Tirante, Kirchner clearly shares his
dedication, merely on a different plane.
In addition to his all-consuming work in
the palace restoration, the building inspec-
tor portrays Daynor at historical re-enact-
ments and other public appearances.
Tirante, not surprisingly, concurrently plays
the Jersey Devil. I actually have a throw-
back talon pinky toe on my right foot,
Tirante said. (Daynor had a costumed man-
nequin of the legendary creature chained
in the basement of his castle and it swung
out abruptly toward visitors.)
Work on the first floor of the building is
80 percent complete, with all the walls built
to ceiling height, and the basement is 95 per-
cent done, according to the curious pair.
(Kirchner says Tirante is his groundskeeper
and watchman and it seems the latter sees
the former as his employer). Formidably, still
to come are the fireplace, radio tower and
entire second floor complete with huge
spires that Daynor supposedly built as resting
places for protective spirits. Daynor and his
wife had living quarters in the palace, whose
first incarnation took three years to build.
Tirante said he designed the new palace
and architects signed off on it. There
were plenty of old documents and photos to
work from because Daynor, in Tirantes
words, was a shameless self-promoter.
Kirchner stressed how strong, compared
to the old palace, the new structure is.
From a construction standpoint, this will
stay up forever, he said. It has to be con-
structed well, Im a building inspector.
The most recent hurdle was Hurricane
Irene, which resulted in three-and-a-half
feet of water in the basement and it was
slow to drain out, leaving mold and mildew
in its wake. The volunteers are working as
quickly as possible to get the building in
shape for a haunted house event, slated to
begin October 14.
Well do a massive clean-up to prepare
for that, Kirchner said.
The incessantly talkative Tirantewith
shoulder-length sandy and gray hair, pene-
trating hazel eyes, liberal tattoos, and four
piercings in one ear with a Bluetooth in the
otherwas straightforward and rational. As
he rolled his own cigarette with Bugler
tobacco, he said, Its hard to quantify what
this place means to me: I love this great big
hunk of castle in the bottom of New Jersey.
I want other people to come out here and be
just as inspired as I am.
Tirante hosts an elaborate website,
ourhero.biz, which honors both the old and
new castles and includes hundreds of pho-
tos. He also markets on the site miniature
figurines of the palace and other items he
creates.
Im in touch with people as far away as
Scotland, everybodys interested in a castle
being built in Vineland, he said.
Its stress relief for me, Kirchner
replied when asked why he works on the
palace restoration.
Kirchner seems to enjoy the fact that the
whole enterprise was his idea (The job
started on a whimthey thought I was jok-
ing at first,) and that he has convinced
local individuals and contractors to join his
crusade.
It may help a little that Im the building
inspector, but I dont coerce anyone, he
said. They all want to volunteer; even
though its hard to get people to do that
today.
Kirchner takes a vacation day every
Monday to work on the palace and also
works there Saturdays. When he retires
next year, he plans to work onsite four or
five days a week. The most difficult thing is
to put the time in and not get divorced, he
deadpanned. Hes been married to wife
Mary Ann for 40 years.
Tirantes wedding in 1986 was at the
original quirky ticket booth in front of the
palace, the only structure left after the dem-
olition.
Both of these diehards, but especially
Kirchner, admit to being dismayed by past
acts of vandalism at the somewhat remote
site, which Tirantes presence has halted;
and theft, which is now minimal.
I was ready to give up the third time
they knocked the walls down, I got discour-
aged rebuilding the foundation over and
over, Kirchner noted. Jeff convinced me to
continue.
Tirante said, Its the easiest friggin way
for somebody to express themselvesthey
cant create anything so they need to
destroy the work of others.
Kirchner said, The police have been
good, they patrol all the time.
The palace is going up in a gorgeous set-
ting, along the bank of the pristine Little
Robbins Creek surrounded by mature trees.
The site is special and has been for thou-
sands of years, according to Tirante. He said
the Lenni-Lenape Indians considered it
sacred ground and an energy vortex.
Dont get me started on the orbs, he
said, describing mysterious spheres of light
energy he claims he sees some nights and
that have appeared, he said, in photos taken
around the site. Its amazing out here at
night, man, its like Brigadoon or some-
thing, he said.
Both men want to acknowledge each one
of the many rebuild volunteers, some of
whom have worked a considerable number
of hours over the years. The current city
administration has been supportive. A
plaque containing every volunteers name
will adorn the completed palace.
When will that plaque be hung?
Well finish the place before we die,
joked Tirante. Were racing against time.
Alabor of love is an insufficient phrase. I
