The Pineland Players, a non-profit theater company located inMedford, is currently presentinga childhood classic. Performers ofall ages from all across South Jer-sey began performing Rogers &Hammerstein's "Cinderella" onAug. 12 and the production willwrap up this Saturday.

The Pineland Players hasbeen around for 35 years and is anonprofit, said Laurel Thomas,director of Cinderella. Wehave performers from Medford,Shamong and Tabernacle mostly,but if people are willing to driveto come here, we have peoplefrom other South Jersey towns aswell. We have about 31 peoplefrom the age of 6 on up.

Auditions for "Cinderella"began in May and rehearsalsbegan in June. Anyone is able tooin the theater, but auditions are

held for anyone who wants to per-form on stage.

There is a $20 membership feefor the year, which is good for awhole family. They also give acomplimentary ticket to a showwith the membership.

There is one show held in thesummer, one in the winter, and inthe spring they have been hostinga talent show. Anyone can per-form in the talent show.

We dont discriminate if youdont have experience or if youwant to join. We do audition forshows, though, Thomas said.

Each year, the Pineland Play-ers board gets together and picksthe shows. If the shows are avail-able through the rental compa-nies, they vote on the show. Theboard tries to pick shows that peo-ple will want to see and want toperform in.

We are very family-orientat-ed. We have a lot of families thatperform together, Thomas said.

After the show is done and thecast is set, rehearsals begin. Re-hearsals are held on the weekendand on one or two nights duringthe week. Most performers onlyneed to attend one or two re-hearsals a week.

We try to work around peo-ples schedules for rehearsals,Thomas said. We usually haverehearsals like five times a week,but most people just need to at-tend one or two times a week. Ob-

As part of a continued effort tofind ways to save money in theschool district budget, Taberna-cle Township has set up a shared

service with Southampton fortwo school district positions effec-tive July 1. Tabernacle Townshipand Southampton Township willnow share the positions of onefull-time supervisor of curricu-lum and instruction and one full-time supervisor of special servic-es.

When Tabernacle was goingthrough the budget process, wewere trying to find more efficien-cies because of the six years of

failed budgets, George Rafferty,superintendent of Tabernacleschool district, said. We werelooking for ways to reduce costs.These two positions lend them-selves to this arrangement. Theyare easier to share.

Craig Vaughn will serve as thesupervisor of curriculum and in-struction and Abbie DiMennawill serve as the supervisor ofspecial services. Vaughn was pre-viously an employee in theSouthampton School Districtwhere he served as the curricu-lum director and child study teamdirector. DiMenna is a new hirebrought on by Rafferty and thesuperintendent of SouthamptonSchool District, Michael Harris.

be good to participate in a familyactivity before school begins. Tak-ing a nature walk is a good op-

tion, she said, because studentscan identify plants and animalsand have the opportunity to dis-cuss what they saw.

Parents can be aware of thelearning opportunities and in-clude students in the everydaythings, Vitella said.

For even younger students, en-gaging their minds before schoolbegins can be simple and fun. TheLearning Experience at CherryHills Director of TrainingMeghan Kelly said young chil-dren should be encouraged to par-ticipate in many household activ-ities, such as cooking, planting,painting and cleaning, to keeptheir minds on learning.

Let kids participate in cook-ing and meal preparation. Mathskills are reinforced when youhave them measure the ingredi-ents needed for recipes, Kellysaid. Assign household jobs,such as sorting whites from col-ors and folding laundry. Kids canalso make grocery lists and crossoff items once they are in thecart.

Children of all ages heading

back to school will feel some sortof alienation from their parentsand friends once summer is over,said Kristen Waterfield, presidentof the Malvern School in Med-ford, which focuses on early edu-cation.

The most important thingparents can do is talk to their chil-

dren and get them excited aboutthe adventures that they will ex-perience as the new year begins.Children need a routine and ex-plaining to them what they willbe doing in school and what is ex-pected of them really helps withthe transition, Waterfield said.Also, its important for them toknow that change and flexibilityare good, and being open to newand different experiences willhelp them enjoy school evenmore.

Another challenging part ofthe transition for students can bethe need for adjustment in sleepschedules. Dr. Carol Kaufman-Scarborough, associate dean and

professor of marketing at the Rut-gers School of Business-Camden,said adjusting multiple sleep rou-tines in the family at the sametime might present a conflict.

Kaufman-Scarborough, whostudies time management, saidthe kinks could best be workedout when the family comes to-gether to address the upcomingchanges in schedules.

In getting back into the swing

of things, ask, How many thingsare reasonable to do? Even adultshave a hard time with this, Kauf-man-Scarborough said. Try afamily calendar. A schedule elimi-nates any surprises.

For elementary school stu-dents, Kaufman-Scarboroughsaid, it is important for parents to

recognize that younger studentsmay not have had homework inthe past or very little of it.

For high school students, carv-ing out a specific time and spacefor homework is a good way forteens to complete their tasks.

Video games, computers anddistractions on the TV therecan be a good deal of interfer-ence, Kaufman-Scarboroughsaid. Set expectations; home-work has to happen before X, Yand Z. Everyone has to respectthe person with homework.

The most important tip for par-ents, she said, is to set the ground-work for homework and sleeproutines prior to the start of

school.Time management is settingthe groundwork. Its harder to im-plement the importance of home-work when youre three weeksinto the semester, Kaufman-Scarborough said.

Another suggestion for stu-dents is to practice waking up atthe new, earlier time a week or so

in advance.Rearranging the body clock is

a shock the first week, Vitellasaid. The first week is a big weekof adjustment and practicingmakes it easier.

It is also important that stu-dents know what to expect on thefirst day of school. Many districtsoften welcome students for a touror plan orientation events priorto the big first day.

Officials at the Lenape Region-al High School District host vari-ous events prior to the start ofschool, to ease freshmen in to thetransition and give them the op-portunity to meet staff and stu-

dents from other towns who arenew to them.And for upperclassmen, the

school offers SAT prep programsand essay writing workshops tohelp students know what to ex-pect at the next academic level.

Elementary as well as highschool students are both suscepti-ble to having anxiety about re-turning to school. For example,incoming ninth-grade studentscould be anxious about being in anew, larger school. We try to easethese anxieties by allowing themto come into the building beforeschool starts, Assistant Superin-tendent Carol Birnbohm said.

Upperclassmen may be anx-

ious about their post-secondaryplans. All of these (programs) aredesigned to support our studentsto help them feel they can succeedon standardized assessments or

get accepted to the college theywant to attend.

Parents, too, can play a largepart in easing the back-to-schoolfears many students of all ageshave.

Birnbohm said parents shouldbe particularly aware of howtheir children are feeling aboutgoing back to school just prior tostarting.

If a teen is extremely anxiousabout returning to school, weurge parents to call their childsschool counselor to discuss theiranxieties to determine what theschool personnel can do for theirchild, Birnbohm said.

Parents can also help make

their teen feel comfortable bymaking sure they have all thesupplies they need to begin theschool year, or will get them assoon as their supply list is madeavailable, she said.

For younger students, recog-nizing any back-to-school fearsthey may have and talking aboutthem together can be beneficialfor both parent and child.

Transitions are a natural partof life and, for young children es-pecially, they can be quite a chal-lenge. As parents, we can do a lotto ease their anxiety and make ex-periences such as going back toschool actually positive, growthmoments, Waterfield said.

Many educators keeping an open ditween teens, parents ais also crucial to atransition back to scho

Communication ismatter what the age oto starting the schoocessfully. Parents shoany apprehensions may have for the school year with thBirnbohm said.

Once again, county health offi-cials are urging residents to takeprecautions against mosquitoes.

Precautions include using mos-quito repellent, wearing longsleeves and long pants, and limit-ing outdoor activity when mos-quitoes are most active, which isduring dawn and dusk.

Residents should also clean orremove any items on their per-sonal property that can collectrain or sprinkler water and serveas a breeding ground for mosqui-toes. These include clogged gut-ters, flowerpots, bottle caps or oldcar tires.

They should also completelychange water in birdbaths at leastonce a week and should repairwindow and door screens.

According to county Health Of-ficer Robert Gogats, about one in150 persons, or less than 1 per-cent, of those infected with WestNile virus will develop a more se-vere form of the disease.

The elderly and immunocom-promised are at higher risk ofmore severe disease.

Symptoms of the more severeform of West Nile virus includesevere headache, high fever, neckstiffness, stupor, disorientation,coma, tremors, convulsions, mus-cle weakness and paralysis.

However, most people exposedto West Nile virus will not displayany symptoms and some willhave mild symptoms includingfever, headache, body aches, skinrash and swollen lymph glands.

ambling news came out last

week. Some of it was good.

Some of it was bad.

In one city, it was reported that gam-

bling revenue surged 32 percent in

June.

In a different city, it was reported

that gambling revenue fell 6.5 percent

in July.

In the first city, gambling revenue

has climbed 8.5 percent in the first six

months of 2011.

In the second city, gambling revenue

fell 6.9 percent in the first seven

months of this year.

The first city is Las Vegas. The sec-

ond city is Atlantic City. Now, maybe

Vegas logs an atrocious July and

things even out, but, pardon the pun,

we wouldnt bet on it.

No, wed bet that, no matter what

happens now with the economy, anoth-

er recession, an invasion from outer

space, etc., Atlantic City will continue

to drop.

It doesnt have to be that way.

Indeed, Atlantic City dropped the

ball when it came to fortifying its

place in the gambling world. Long be-

fore surrounding states established

their own casinos, AC could have set

itself up as a destination resort. It

could have marketed itself as a gam-

bling/entertainment city, instead of

one casino trying to take patrons away

from the casino next door.

Theres still time to turn things

around, but does AC have the drive, vi-

sion and leadership to do it?

The big issue: People from around

the world bypass their local casinos to

visit Vegas. People have to want to by-

pass their local casinos to spend time

in AC, too.

That means coordinated marketing.

It means working together to create an

Atlantic City Experience. It means

taking a step back, looking at what

Vegas has done and then trying to

recreate some of that magic along the

Boardwalk.

Theres no time to waste.

Winners and losersGuess which category Atlantic City casinos fall into

Falling behind

Do you think Atlantic City can turnthings around and become a destina-tion vacation spot?

Was Casey coverage a question of race?No way Casey Anthony getsattention if she were minority

While doing research a few years ago formy thesis, I read about a phenomenoncalled missing white woman syndrome basically a phrase for the disproportionateamount of television and media coverageinvolving victims that are attractive, inno-cent and white, compared to the coverageminorities receive. If Caylee Anthony werea minority child, would she have receivedthe same press coverage?

I did some research on missing whitewoman syndrome and was wondering ifthis could possibly be going on in this trialalso, said Alan Hart, associate professorat BCC. No way would a minority receivethe same public attention. The last timethat happened was with Tawana Brawleywith Al Sharpton. Yet John Benet, Eliza-beth Smart, Natalee Holloway, we could goon all day.

Whether race played a role or not, theverdict was certainly a high point of con-

tention to the public. Many wondered withall the circumstantial evidence that existedagainst Anthony, how she could still befound not guilty.

Old-fashioned slap on the wriststops Cinnaminson burglar

A 90-year-old woman in Cinnaminsonstopped a break-in by smacking the bur-glars hand like an old school marm.

Police said the woman on South Fork-landing Road reported that a black four-door sedan drove around to the rear of herhome Friday. A man came to the door, andwhen he received no response, he retrieved

a crowbar from his car and tried pryingopen the back door.

The glass broke, and the suspect put hishand in to unlock the door. Thats when theelderly woman smacked his hand.

The startled would-be burglar ran for it.The suspect did not steal anything, but

police have not located him. He is de-scribed as black, with short hair and astocky build. Presumably he might alsohave gone to Catholic school and been con-ditioned by nuns with rulers.

Educationally Yours Blog: Weall have First Day Jitters

First day jitters. We all have them. Par-ents have them a new teacher, a new year,a new class. Kids have them a new

teacher, a new year, a new class. And ofcourse, teachers have them. Especiallynewly-out-of-college, raring-to-go, first-year

teachers. And once parentshear that their child hasthat brand new teacher,sometimes they get a littlemore nervous.

Getting a first-yearteacher is bound to hap-pen. In todays current edu-cational climate, districtsare looking to hire new

teachers to keep the cost down and moldtheir young minds. I admit that I would bea bit nervous if one of my daughters wereassigned to a brand new teacher. AlthoughI was one myself a long time ago, the ideaof a new teacher working out their kinkson your own child is a bit concerning.However, if my child is assigned to a newteacher, heres what I will try to keep inmind.

Almost all first year teachers are young,motivated and over wrought with excite-ment! They are brimming with new ideas,

a need to be involved in anyway they canand willing to go that extra mile. They arementored and advised through workshopsand professional development. Most havewanted to be a teacher forever so theirdream is finally coming true.

By COLLEEN P. CLARKThe Tabernacle Sun

A foreboding question was lin-gering among the vendors of theRiver Walk Wine Festival inPennsauken on a recent weekend,where $25 got you a backstagepass to a variety of local winesand, for some, an up-front look atthe troubles their vintners are ex-periencing right now.

What changes will we see inthe New Jersey wine industry inthe coming months, and will winefestivals like this even exist thistime next year?

Theres no doubt that changesare on the horizon, and while thechance of a total shutdown isslim, the fact that its even a possi-

bility at all had many wineryowners at the festival nervous and some downright angry.

Theres a legislative messgoing on in Trenton right nowthat has our wineries in thecrosshairs. The problem datesback to 2003 when a small groupof North Jersey residents andsome out-of-state wineries filed alawsuit, claiming it was unconsti-tutional that New Jersey wineriescould ship wine to customers inthe state, but out-of-state wineriescould not. The state agreed andin-state direct shipping wasbanned in 2004.

But that wasnt the end. Sincethen, winery owners ability tosell directly to retailers and toconsumers through tasting

rooms and other outlets has alsocome under fire for the same rea-son. That was declared unconsti-

tutional last December.Until a new law is passed, the

New Jersey Division of AlcoholicBeverage Control isnt even issu-ing any licenses to new wineries,leaving a handful of vintners inthe state just sitting on their al-ready-produced wine and waitingfor something to be done.

The ones that are really hurt-ing because of this are the oneswho cant open new outlets, andtheres a lot of people we couldput to work if we opened up theseoutlets, said Tony Valenzano, ofValenzano Winery in Shamong.

What will become of N.J.wine industry?

But thats minor compared tothe new wineries that have spenthundreds of thousands of dollarsbuilding their business, andtheyre unable to get a license tobegin operating.

Two bills are being tossedaround in the Legislature now toresolve the matter, but a decisionwas not reached before the sum-mer recess. And now, just lastweek, a Supreme Court judge is-sued a stay in the case, whichgives the state until March 2012 tomake a decision on which law topass. Will it be a bill sponsored bySen. President Steven Sweeney?Will it be a bill drafted by Assem-

bly Majority Leader JosephCryan? Or, will the deadline passwith no action, which wouldplace everything in the hands of aSupreme Court judge and cause apotential shutdown? There are afew major differences betweenthe bills. Under Sweeneys, directshipping would be permitted (likeit is in 38 other states) and winer-ies could maintain up to 20 out-lets, which includes tastingrooms. Under Cryans legislation,direct shipping would not be al-lowed; 15 outlets would be permit-ted; and wineries would lose theability to directly distribute to re-tailers. While it appears the ma-jority of winery owners would

support Sweeneys bill, at this

point, many just want a billpassed.

Any bill.We just want our tasting

rooms to stay open, said Marsha

Gaventa, co-owner of CedarvaleWinery in Logan Township.Without our tasting room, werenothing.

Gaventas husband is a fourth-generation farmer of the land.

Im scared because there areno guarantees, she said. Thewinery is the future of our farm.

Cedarvale Winery wasnt evenset up at the festival in CooperRiver Park. Their winery isnt bigenough to have any outlets otherthan the tasting room, and its noteven big enough to set up shop atfestivals like the River Walk.

Were just the little people,Gaventa said. Most of us aresmall businesses.

The only way they have toreach customers is the tastingroom, so many factors of theSweeney and Cryan bills donteven affect them. But no bill at allcertainly would.

I just hope and pray that theLegislature gets their stuff to-gether and drafts some legislationso that we can stay open, shesaid. I support any bill that letsus stay open. Valenzano said hefinds it offensive that the Legisla-ture hasnt fixed this issue bynow. Theyre going to take theirtime, and thats that many more

jobs that wont be created thatwould be otherwise, that muchless New Jersey wine that will besold and that much less farms

that will be supported throughour efforts, Valenzano said.

While he added he doesntthink itll come to the point wherea Supreme Court judge will shut

down the states wineries, Valen-zano acknowledged that it is apossibility. Because of that, likeGaventa, he just wants to see abill passed.

But, if he had to choose, he saidhe would side with Cryans bill.

We dont care about directshipping, he said. We alreadyship through the three-tiered sys-tem, which weve been doing for15 years. Most of our wine is soldthrough local liquor stores. Theyare our customer base.

The main supporters of theCryan bill are the states retailerand wholesaler associations,which believe direct shipping andself-distribution could have a neg-

ative impact on their industry.If they set up an amazon.comof wine, the local liquor storescould take a hit, Valenzano said.Thats our customer base, andwe definitely are concerned aboutour customers. Were just hop-ing that something can be re-solved so that the worst-case sce-nario doesnt occur, which is ashutdown, he said. We have tobe very sensitive. The last thingwe want to do is offend our cos-tumers.

There were plenty of winegrowers present at the festival,though, who want to see theSweeney bill passed and nothingelse. When youre a small win-

ery and your gallonage is smalllike we all are at this point, we donot have the profit structure andgallonage yet to use distributors

to distribute our wine, saidMark Carduner, of Silver DecoyWinery in Robbinsville. Onceyou get to a certain size, having adistributor makes financialsense. When you are small, youare doing it all yourself.

Scott Donnini, co-owner ofAuburn Road Vineyard and Win-ery in Pilesgrove, said his abilityto drive a handful of wine bottlesto the local liquor store is ex-tremely important to him.

Youve got to have a Legisla-ture that will recognize us forwhat we are, a small business,said Donnini, a former lawyerand also in-house counsel for theGarden State Wine Growers Asso-

ciation. Thats got to count forsomething. The Legislatureshould want to help us.

The problem is that the winer-ies are not a political issue; noone will win or lose an electionbased on whether they saved orkilled the wine industry, Donninisaid.

That removes the expediencyto do something about us, hesaid.

He added, though, that he be-lieves Sweeney wants to makethis situation right and he thinkshis bill is a responsible compro-mise.

It just makes sense to want tohelp New Jersey wineries and notattack them, he said. Despite ableak economy, wineries remain agrowing industry and a viable

tool in agritourism, which is abooming market in New Jersey.Just look at the River Walk festi-val and the thousands who con-verged on Cooper River Park forthe two-day event. The line atAuburn Roads tent was so longthat Donninis wife had to repeat-edly smack him with a towel toget his attention and get him backto work. But he was so impas-sioned about what he feels is a po-

litical injustice that he didntwant to end the discussion. Thesame type of crowd could be seenat every one of the 20-some tents.

We love our customers, Sil-ver Decoys Carduner said. Welove growing our fruit in New Jer-sey. Were committed to stayinghere for a long time. We just needour Legislature to let us keep our

doors open.At the end of the day, we need

Trenton to stand up and protectus, he said.

Trish Mazer, of Langhorne,Pa., a patron at the festival,summed up the whole problemrather matter-of-factly.

Not only would it benefiteveryone, she said, but dontthey have more important thingsto be thinking about?
