the bloom of daffodils in early spring, thepolitical yard signs are
starting to blossom fromthe earth throughout the region. And dont
besurprised if you see more of these campaign tools clut-tering the
landscape in the coming months than youusually would see during
election season. Thatsbecause area voters will have more decisions
to makethan ever before when they enter the voting booth onNovember
6. Not only will voters choose fromamongst candidates for President
of the United States,U.S. Senator, U.S. House Representative, and
CountyFreeholders, but theyll also be selecting local officialsin
races not normally decided upon in a Novembergeneral election.At
the county level, voters will select two candi-dates to serve on
the Cumberland County Board ofChosen Freeholders. The two seats are
currently heldby Republicans Tom Sheppard and Mary Gruccio,
bothrunning for reelection. In last Novembers elections,Republicans
took control of the freeholder board forthe first time in decades.
Now the party needs todefend both Sheppards and Gruccios seats to
main-tain control of the board. The candidates running onthe
Democrats ticket are Joe Derella, Jr. and DougLong. This race will
be hotly contested.Voters in 13 of Cumberland Countys 14
municipali-ties will elect school board members in two
months,rather than in separate springtime elections. OnlyBridgeton
elected not to take advantage of a recentchange in state statute
that now gives New Jerseycommunities the option to move the date of
electionsfor school board members from April to November.In
Vineland, candidates for mayor and five citycouncil seats will
appear on the November ballot ratherthan in municipal elections
normally held in May.While Millville and Bridgeton voters wont see
can-didates for municipal offices appear on the Novemberballot this
year, they will in 2013 and 2014, respectively.Quality Dental

it causesbutterflies and even some tears for a few days.

Vineland { VINCE FARINACCIO }Vineland vs.SouthburyThe Southbury
Training School opened in 1940 andsoon became as noted as its
Vineland counterpart.The week screenwriter AbbyMann spent at the
TrainingSchool at Vineland resulted inthe script for A Child is
Waiting,which was first produced as the 22ndepisode of the CBS
television series StudioOnes ninth season. It aired March 11,
1957,at 10 p.m. and starred Pat Hingle as Dr.Clark, the fictional
director of a facility notunlike Vinelands who believes in
allowingthe mentally challenged children under hiscare to reach
their full potential in life. Thefilm also featured Mary Fickett as
JeanHorst, the instructor whose emotionalattachment to her students
challengesClarks methods.The New York Times gave it a glowingreview
for its script and for its bravery inpresenting the topic of mental
retardationon a prime time television show, citing thecharacter of
Clark as the means throughwhich Mr. Mann spoke eloquently of
theneed to accept the retarded child, to givethe youngster the
blessing of affirmativeunderstanding and not to reject him
bystandards that cannot apply.David Goode, in his study, And
NowLets Build a Better World: The Story ofthe Association for the
Help of RetardedChildren [AHRC], New York City 1948-1998, credits
Manns script as the firstdramatic show on network TV to deal
withthe problem of mental retardation, notingthat it had a great
impact on publicawareness at that time.But according to Gary
Rutkowski, therole of technical advisor for the TV versionof Manns
play is credited to the SouthburyTraining School in
Southbury,Connecticut. The Training School atVineland then seems to
have served strict-ly as a research center for Mann, a
circum-stance that has largely gone without recog-nition over the
years.The Southbury Training School openedin 1940 and, despite its
relatively late entryinto the field of mental studies, soonbecame
as noted as its Vineland counter-part. Suzanna Andrews, in a 2007
inves-tigative Vanity Fair article about DanielMiller, son of
playwright Arthur Miller anda resident of the Southbury
facility,described the Connecticut facility in flat-tering terms
somewhat reminiscent ofVinelands campus: Set on 1,600 acres inthe
rolling hills of central Connecticut, itwas magnificent to behold,
with porticoed,neo-Georgian red-brick buildings sur-rounded by
endless lawns. It had a schooland job-training programs, and its
residentswere housed in cottageswith their ownliving areas and
kitchens. Well into the1950s, Southbury was so highly regardedthat
wealthy families in New York Citywould buy country homes in
Connecticutto establish residency so that, for a minimalfee, they
could place their children there.The use of the Connecticut
facility astechnical advisor for the New York-basedStudio One
production of A Child isWaiting is undoubtedly due to itsManhattan
proximity and its reputationwith New Yorkers. It probably can be
saidthat the Southbury School was at its peakof popularity in 1957.
But unlike VinelandsTraining School, which would change itsname but
maintain its standing in the field,Southburys institution entered
the 1970sovercrowded and understaffed while bran-dishing a
tarnished reputation.Andrews describes Southbury TrainingSchool in
the 1970s as consisting of nearly2,300 residents, including
children, livingin rooms with 30 to 40 beds. Many of thechildren
wore diapers, because therewerent enough employees to
toilet-trainthem. During the day, they sat in front ofblaring TVs
tuned to whatever show thestaff wanted to watch. The most
disabledchildren were left lying on mats on thefloor, sometimes
covered with nothing buta sheet. In the wards you had
peoplescreaming, banging their heads against thewall, and taking
their clothes off, saysDavid Shaw, a leading Connecticut
disabil-ity lawyer. It was awful.The success of Studio Ones
productionof A Child is Waiting meant that aHollywood version
wouldnt be too farbehind. It would be another two yearsbefore
producer/director Stanley Kramerexpressed interest in filming A
Child isWaiting. Known for his socially consciousmovies, Kramer
announced his decision toproduce A Child is Waiting in
February1961. Seven months later, after all the keypeople involved
in the production wereassembled, Vineland became a serious
con-sideration as a shooting location. INext Week Scouting

your death.I look at my daughter, Iwatch her. I wish that she
isthinking the kindest ofthoughts. I see you in her andit makes me
smile.I sat and watched my littlegirl consider whether herthoughts
meant anything tothose around her. What if shecouldn't express
them; what ifher heart was too torn apart;what if her soul had
dancedthe proverbial dance andcouldnt do it again? What ifher heart
learned a grave lesson, as mine did all those years ago? What if?My
mind keeps thinking that as long as I keep my daughter's needs on
the forefront,why should my losing you have anything to do with
what her heart feels? Why? Because Iam her Mother and I miss you
dearly.So, I breathe. I inhale/exhale and I glance down at the tiny
footprints and I think of you,Momma.Sadly Missed by Your Daughter,

6:00PG STU B S E D U L C-1644! OK L Umakes a difference having a
kit on hand,says Campanella. When a student comes tome and has to
take out their contacts forwhatever reason, I have what they
need.The kits come in handy for studentswho wear contacts and play
a sport, saysScull. They love that we have them.Dr. Cole and Dr.
Feinstein came up withthe idea of distributing the care kits to
areaschools as part of a larger effort to help pre-vent the kind of
eye infections and injuriesthat can result from improper contact
lenscare.Its about more than just convenience,says Dr. Cole.
Children and teens can belax about caring for their contact lenses,
andthat can lead to some potentially seriousissues for their eyes
down the road. Themore readily accessible these kits are, thebetter
the chance of preventing the problembefore it starts.Most nurse
offices just dont have theresources to deal with these kinds of
prob-lems, adds Dr. Feinstein. School budgetsare tight. This is
something we can do.Pictured: Gina Campanella and Bonnie

kindergarten (so it really was his very firstday), Gavin started
first grade, and Andrea is in third grade.effort, by parents as
well as children, can smooth the transition, according to
theSociety for Research in Child Development and the Substance
Abuse and Mental HealthServices Administration.School is just one
of many new situations your child will have to face in life.
Butbecause small children don't come equipped with adult-size
coping skills, it's up to youto help your child see change as a
challenge.Here are some tips for parents:Be sure to concentrate on
all aspects of development-emotional, social, physical
andintellectual. Pay particular attention to the following list of
good parenting skills:* Provide a safe and healthy home
environment;* Make sure your child eats a balanced diet and gets
enough physical activity;* Take advantage of your child's natural
curiosity to explore new situations and learnnew concepts;* Praise
your child and use positive reinforcement;* Show your child
affection and concern;* Foster your child's self-worth;* Coach your
child on how to participate, cooperate and communicate;*
Demonstrate how to express kindness and appreciation;* Teach your
child to smile, make eye contact and listen to others;* Spend time
regularly with your child;* Give your child some freedom, but
provide security and support;* Allow your child to be a child; and*
Say what you mean, mean what you say and follow through on your
word.SCHOOL DAYSContinued from coverGrapevine 3-11 091212-de:Layout
