More Fitness Tips
{ BY RYAN DINGER }
For years, youve made the same New Years resolution to get in
shape, only to change your lifestyle for a few weeks before falling
back into the same bad habits that have plagued you for as long as
you can remember.
Youve heard all the tips, and tried all the diets, but nothing
seems to stick. Fortunately, it is never too late to get in shape, and
there are some diet and exercise tips out there that you may not
have heard before.
This is the second part of a two-part series. Last week, we out-
lined the first five outside-of-the-box health and fitness tips to
help you on your path to overall fitness. As promised, here are the
final five tips, all of which focus on the non-typical ideas about
getting in shape. If you missed last weeks tips, they can be found
online at www.grapevinenewspaper.com, in the archives section.
5) PACE YOURSELF
Perhaps the biggest mistake someone can make when incorpo-
rating a new workout routine or diet into their daily lifestyle is
pushing themselves too hard, too early. When it comes to working
out, if youve been living a sedentary lifestyle for an extended
period of time, allowing your muscles to soften and your joints to
stiffen, youre not going to be able to exercise like a fitness guru
when you first start out.
A lot of people make a New Years resolution to change their
The YMCA is working on the premise that good health and fitness habits
will stick if started early. { BY STEPHANIE FARRELL }

First stop this week was the Fitness Center where the kids all got on
ellipticals or treadmills or the rock climbing wall. Front row: Samaria

Almost all of our experts mentioned active family time as a way to
set a great example for your kids and get yourself in shape as well.
S
aturday night they get the place to
themselves for free. The YMCAs
doors normally close at 6 p.m. on
Saturday night, but from October to June,
they re-open a half an hour laterbut only
for those who are in the middle of middle
school, 7th graders.
The kids are allowed to come in. We
open the pool, the fitness center, we have
Fussball, Ping Pong, games in the gym. We
let them control the evening. They get to
call the shots when theyre here, says Cara
Messore, YMCA Community Program
Coordinator.
The 7th Grade Initiative is in its second
year at the YMCA of Vineland.
A couple Ys in North Jersey and Philly
had implemented it and we heard about
the program through the NJ State Alliance
of Ys. Tom Merighi, our Board president, is
really passionate about it because it is a
great program for the community.
This past Saturday, Hannah Piatt talks to
the kids about their holidays and how they
are doing in school. In the fitness center,
her gym instructor role comes out and she
is part cheerleader, part personal trainer,
encouraging the kids to reach their goals
on the equipment. It is a relaxed atmos-
phere. They move to the gym for a game of
kickball. The kids hang out after the game
and enjoy popcorn and dried strawberries.

Why just for 7th graders?
"Studies have been done that showed
that in 7th grade risk factors come into
play," says Messore. The studies indicate
that this is turning point year, when kids
may break away from parents and turn to
negative influences like drugs and drinking.
"The idea was to create something
specifically for this age group, to give them
opportunities to work out, have a night
out, stay out of trouble, but also have some
independence." Messore says there are five
staff members along with herself. "We
incorporate exercise, moving and talking
about positive things, how they are doing
in school. We are trying to be positive peo-
ple in their life, away from home and from
school, positive mentors."
Kelsey DeMatte, who attended last year
says, I went the first week and then almost
every week after that." Some of the activi-
ties she remembers are hockey, football,
basketball, dodgeball, and kickball in the
gym. You could go in the fitness center
and use the treadmill, rowing machine or
go upstairs in the Riggins Room for air
hockey or Ping Pong. You could pick where
youd like to go. There was swimming, a
pool party, Olympics, water polo or goofy
races. She enjoyed the free snacks at the Y
Caf as well. It was always something
good. Kelsey misses the program. It was
a lot of fun.
Her mom appreciated the program for
her. It was great that it was a free pro-
gram, says Lori DeMatte. You could go
whenever you wanted to. Kelsey was
always excited about going. She would
press us to be on time, getting there as
often as she could. DeMatte liked that
there was a mix of activities. A lot of regu-
lar kids kept coming. She says that Kelsey,
who swims, was not really going for physi-
cal fitness, but to meet up with friends she
had gotten to know there and to have fun.
She loved it and we could not be happier
with the program. DeMatte thinks it was
well-suited for the age group. There was
supervision, but the staff made it fun and
encouraging, not restrictive.
Last year the program had almost 100
students registered and about 30 kids came
each week. So far this year the attendance
is lower and they are hoping to get the
word out.
We are encouraging parents and kids to
spread the word, to bring their friends.
There is only a registration form to fill out
with contact information and acknowledg-
ing the code of conduct. They can regis-
ter and come in on the same night, says
Messore. The kids then receive a specialty
membership. The program also does not
require regular attendance. The more kids
we have, the more fun it is. We can play
more games and have contests.
We have great staff. They are all 20-
something year olds who give up their
Saturday nights to be here with the kids.
Messore says that sponsors make the
program possible. Our major sponsor is
the United Way. We received a three-year
grant for $10,000 each year. She is also
thinking of a few fundraisers. The pro-
gram is unique so we are looking for
unique ways to raise money. Messore is
most encouraged by seeing the kids
become more comfortable. They are excit-
ed to come. They get a little more confi-
dent each week. I
SEVENTH GRADE
Continued from cover
On Saturday nights, seventh graders call the shots at the YMCA. On a recent Saturday night, kick ball was
what they wanted to play. Pictured are Tyler Day, Darcy Tarquinio, Daniel Farrell, Enrique Sanchez, Emily
Rivera and Isaiah White (sitting).

Defoor and Parks Big Dogs at Dog Tag Invitational
The Dog Tag Invitational attracted over
260 swimmers from the South Jersey
area for some fast swimming at the
YMCA of Vineland. The Seal swimmers
achieved many personal best accomplish-
ments. Coach DeMatte reported that the
team had 183 personal best times coming
off a meet with 100 best times. Anthony
Santoro qualified for the Sunkissed
Invitational Meet in North Carolina for the
first time and many others made qualify-
ing times for the New Jersey Silver and
State meets. The competition at this
meet brought out the best in all the
swimmers that attended, as this meet
continues to grow and attract swimmers.
Each week Coach DeMatte focuses on
the swimmers that work hard at practice,
and in return, swim personal best times.
This past week swimmers with 3 best times that have demonstrated commitment at
practice include: Julian Allan, Glyza Canovas, Andi Chocko, Jack Chocko, Miguel
Colon, Denise Dimapilis, Rory Dralle, Amanda Hullihen, Carli Hullihen, Allison Lowry,
Melissa Lowry, Geno Mainiero, Marta Jajewski, Erin Miller, Zoe Munoz, Elizabeth
Nealis, Philip Nayda, Anthony Santoro, Jonathan Price, Kayla Prato, Kyle Slusarczyk,
Julia Smith, Allie Teneberg, and Nicole Wolkowicz.
Gina DeFoor and Eddie Parks hold the Big Dog trophy that will rotate each year to the
winning team and individual.

STRAIGHTENING TEETH HAS COME A LONG WAY. Braces work. Yet,
even though they come in bright colors these days, the brackets and steel wires still
work the same way. Food still gets stuck in them. Flossing and brushing are an
adventure. And, when youre a teenager sporting a mouthful of metal, easy and
condent smiles can be hard to come by.
ALL SMILES. NO SACRIFICES. Back when we were teenagers, putting up with the
hassles of braces and feeling self-conscious about wearing them were necessary in order to get
the smile you wanted. For todays teens, getting through those formative years can be a little
tougher. Thankfully, straightening their teeth with Invisalign Teen
TM
is a lot easier.
THE ADVANTAGES ARE CLEAR. Invisalign Teen is a series of virtually invisible
aligners that gradually straighten your teens teeth. And because theyre removable, proper
dental hygiene is a cinch. Since most people wont even know your teen is wearing Invisalign,
theyll have the condence to keep on smiling. Best of all, treatment costs about as much
as braces, and fewer doctor visits take up less of your time. Our aligners
even include a color-coded indicator that tells you how long your teens
been wearing them.
FIND OUT WHY MORE AND MORE MOMS ARE CHOOSING INVISALIGN TEEN.
Choosing how to straighten your teens teeth is a big decision. Visit our
website to see what other teenagers and their parents have to say about
us. Then take a few moments to take our Self Assessment together with
your teenager.
Invisalign Teen will help give your teenager the condence of a great
smileand theyll love you for it along the way.

Big First Weekend For Seal Swimmers
The YMCA of Vineland Seals swim team is a family in and out of the pool. Part of
the YMCA of Vineland for the past 47 years, the team promotes sportsmanship, swim-
ming fast, proper stroke mechanics, and team participation. In addition to their first
home meet of the season, swimmers and family members participated in two fun team
eventsa bowling night sponsored by the parent association, and the annual Aaron
Ploch Memorial Family Fun. The fun started Saturday with the bowling night and then
on Sunday, the parents got in the pool with the coaches and swimmers. Fun relay races
and a very competitive game of water polo were held. The Parent Association provided
pizza and everyone helped with snacks and drinks. It was a special event that helps
raise funds for their scholarship, which is given to a graduating senior each year.
The team lost its home opener to the combined teams from the Burlington
YMCA which includes SJAC swimmers. The team recorded 135 personal best times
with new swimmers improving from time trials and veteran swimmers from their
personal lifetime best.
This was a very positive note that the team is off to a good start, said Coach
Dennis DeMatte.
Swimmers and family members gather as they got out of the pool following the Family Fun Day.

SJH Celebrates Expansion in Pediatrics and ICU
South Jersey Healthcare recently celebrated the first phase of a transforma-
tion in pediatric care. To achieve this transformation, SJH partnered with a
renowned childrens health system, and has undertaken an expansion project
that is bringing the regions first level III neonatal intensive care unit. When this
transformation is complete, SJH will be able to care for 99 percent of the babies
born to women in the service area.
South Jersey Healthcare and Nemours, the parent organization of the Alfred I.
DuPont Hospital for Children in Delaware, formed a partnership that brings
enhanced pediatric and neonatal services to the health system. With the partner-
ship in place, there is around-the-clock, on-site pediatric hospitalists coverage at
the Regional Medical Center, as well as neonatologists on-site at all times in the
NICU. The pediatric hospi-
talists provide care to hos-
pitalized children and can
be called to see pediatric
patients in the Emergency
Department.

Nemours/Alfred I. duPont
Hospital, and guest VIPs tour

Regional Medical Center.
Bottinos ShopRites Support YMCAs LIVESTRONG
The Botttinos ShopRite stores campaign to support LIVESTRONG at the Vineland
YMCA raised $5,366 this fall. LIVESTRONG is a cancer survivorship designed for
adult cancer patients who want to regain health and conditioning. The money was
raised when the supermarkets cashiers sold LIVESTRONG bracelets for $1 each.
Bottino ShopRites are located in Millville, Washington Township, Upper Deerfield, and
on Delsea Drive in Vineland. The funds raised there will be used to offer the program
free to participants.

EYE ASSOCIATES/SURGICENTER OF
VINELANDis committed to continued excel-
lence in the field of LASIK vision correction
with the upgrade to the advanced iFS (fem-
tosecond) laser. The iFS laser is the only
FDA-cleared femtosecond laser proven with
more than 10 years of clinical research
improving the safety and precision of LASIK.
The iFS laser offers a highly sophisticated
way to prepare the eye for LASIKwithout a
blade ever touching it. The IntraLase Method
with the iFS laser makes it possible for the
corneal flap to be 100 percent laser-created,
allowing for flap customization and an indi-
vidualized treatment. Sydney L. Tyson, MD,
MPHspecifies flap diameter, depth, hinge
location and width, and side-cut architecture
to meet the patients individual needs.
Historically, the use of an oscillating metal
blade, called a microkeratome, in the first
step of LASIK caused the majority of LASIK
complications. In addition to customization
of the flap, the iFS laser creates a distinctive
beveled-edge that allows for precise reposi-
tioning, alignment and seating of the LASIK
flap for maximum stabilitythree times that
of a blade-created flap.
We are dedicated to staying on the fore-
front of LASIK technology, and the iFS laser
represents the modern standard-of-care in
vision correction worldwide, said Dr. Tyson.
NASA astronauts and U.S. pilots can have
LASIK today because of the exclusive, vali-
dated safety and precision performance of
the IntraLase Methodand were proud to
offer our patients this same advantage.
Clinical studies show excellent visual out-
comes and high patient satisfaction when the
blade-free IntraLase Method is used. LASIK
using the iFS laser is proven to provide faster
visual recovery, fewer dry eye symptoms, and
maximum flap stability. And the iFS laser is
2.5 times faster than previous generation
femtosecond lasers, creating precise, predica-
ble flaps in less than 10 seconds per eye.
Over four million LASIK procedures have
been performed worldwide employing the
IntraLase Method, now used in an estimated
61.1 percent of all U.S. LASIK procedures.
Eye Associates has offices in Vineland,
Cherry Hill, Mays Landing, Blackwood and
Hammonton at 1-800-922-1766. To see if you
are a candidate for LASIK, call for a free one-
on-one consultation with Dr. Tyson.

through this safe and effective procedure,
said Ronald Portadin, MD, FACOG, FACS.
Endometrial Ablation is a procedure that
destroysor ablatesthe uterine lining, or
endometrium. Following Endometrial
Ablation, most women have reduced men-
strual flow and up to half of the patients who
have the procedure stop having periods com-
pletely. NOVASURE ablation has proven to
be the quickest and most effective ablation
procedure. (This procedure should not be
considered by women who are pregnant or
plan to become pregnant.)
VGA also provides treatment of urinary
incontinence and pelvic floor relaxation at its
new treatment center. Urinary incontinence,
an accidental loss of urine, is a common
problem for women throughout adulthood,
often seriously affecting their work, hobbies
and social life.
Urinary Incontinence is a difficult prob-
lem to discuss because some women are
embarrassed or believe it is a normal part of
aging, said Dr. Jonathan Gewirtz. In most
cases urinary incontinence is treatable,
quickly improving a patients quality of life.
Urinary incontinence can be brought on
by laughing, coughing, sneezing, heavy lift-
ing, exercising, and sometimes just standing
up. To diagnose the cause of a womans uri-
nary incontinence, the physicians at VGA
perform various diagnostic tests, from simple
urinalysis and urine cultures to in-depth
studies such as urodynamics testing. These
tests can be performed in the VGA office,
with some results being available during the
same appointment. Once the diagnosis is
made, treatment options are discussed with a
member of the VGA medical staff.
Weakness in the muscles that support the
bladder and/or control the release of urine
may be the result of a combination of factors:
Muscles often lose strength as a result of
childbirth and may manifest immediately
after delivery or several years later. The con-
dition can be aggravated by urinary tract
infections, chronic coughing or sneezing,
obesity, diabetes, high caffeine or alcohol
intake, certain medications, and sports, such
as tennis or running.
Aging generally weakens muscles as
women get older and as estrogen production
stops with menopause.
Obesity increases the pressure put on
the bladder.
Heredity plays a role as well. Even
women who have not had children can suffer
from urinary incontinence due to genetically
weaker connective tissue.
The urinary incontinence programat VGA
is currently welcoming newpatients. Most
insurances are accepted. To schedule an

Vintage Vineland { BY VINCE FARINACCIO }
Young John Birch
in Vineland
During the 1920s, John Birch was one of the towns
most promising youthful residents.
M
ost people know of John
Birch from the ultraconser-
vative society that bears his
name. Ironically, it is a group
founded after Birchs death and never sanc-
tioned by its namesake. But well before this
establishment first convened, John Birch
would have been known in Vineland as one of
the towns most promising youthful residents.
According to various online sources,
Birchs mother Ethel Ellis was born and
raised in Vineland. According to Robert
Welchs The Life of John Birch, Ethel gradu-
ated from Wooster College in Ohio with a
degree in science and then accepted a teach-
ing position at Mt. Berry School in Rome,
Georgia, where she met George S. Birch, also
an instructor at the school. Both were reli-
gious and, after marrying, they immediately
left for missionary work in India.
John Morrison Birch, his middle name
reflecting his grandmothers maiden name
and Irish heritage, was born in Allahabad,
India, on May 28, 1918. After the birth of his
brother Walter two years later, the Birches
would relocate to Vineland where they
would reside for the next 10 years and
George Birch would join his father-in-law in
a successful fruit-growing business called
Blue Spruce Farms.
According to information provided at last
years exhibition, Landscapes of Vineland
History, at the Vineland Public Library
where a portrait of Birch was prominently
displayed, the youthful Vinelander excelled
while at Spring Road Grammar School.
When an aptitude test, taken at the age of
five, resulted in a score representative of a
15-year-old, Birch advanced to Junior High
School and continued to perform well.
Before the end of the 1920s, Birchs sister
and four additional brothers were born in
Vineland. But, as Welchs biography points
out, George was asked by Mt. Berry School
to return to Georgia and resume his teach-
ing position. He accepted and left for the
South in 1930, with the remainder of his
family following in 1931.
Living on a rented farm in Floyd County,
Georgia, the family moved 100 miles to their
own farm in Birchwood in 1934. Birch com-
pleted his high school studies while there,
graduating first in his class. He then turned
his attention to Mercer University in Macon.
Ian Woodwards research on Birchs back-
ground, published two years ago in ISIS mag-
azine, reveals that the former Vinelanders
years at Mercer proved to be a mission of
sorts. Birch set out to suppress what he saw
as liberal trends at the University,
Woodward writes, and, with twelve col-
leagues, began collecting examples of heresy
uttered by faculty membersthe pressure
exerted by Birch and the others resulted in
five members of the university staff facing
charges, which were eventually dismissed.
Woodward reports that one of Birchs
classmates referred to him as an angry
young man and a zealot, while he quotes
a professor at the university who described
Birch as being called to defend the faith
and he alone knew what it was.
Birch would graduate again at the top of
his class, but unfortunately, the temperament
with which he conducted his assault on the
Mercer faculty would follow him into the
next phase of his career.
Following his parents lead, Birch became
a missionary in China in 1940, but was pro-
gressively drawn into World War II, learning
the craft of air combat intelligence and grad-
ually working his way up to the rank of cap-
tain. Woodward notes that, Descriptions of
his precise duties vary but his activities seem
to have included: traveling behind enemy
lines to radio details of prime Japanese tar-
gets, recruiting and maintaining a network of
local agents, supplying information on
Japanese troop movements, and directing the
building of airstrips inside enemy territory.
In 1945, ten days after the Japanese sur-
render, Birch was leading what Woodward
calls a routine mission and encountered a
group of Chinese Communist soldiers. Birch
was killed by the Communists, and his death
has since conjured a number of conflicting
accounts about what provoked it and how
the young captain died. It also inspired
Welch to form the John Birch Society in
1959, transforming Birchs death into a rally
cry against Communism.
But perhaps the truth of the matter lies
in a statement about Birch made by his
commanding officer who felt that his
young charge is too brash and may run
into trouble. I

D
owntown Vineland is becoming
a food destination for many,
and its really no wonder.
Vineland has a long, rich food
history and an enjoyable walk down
Landis Avenue will take you past eateries
offering French, Jamaican, Italian,
American, Mexican, Cajun, Amish, Puerto
Rican and more.
Recently, the Landis MarketPlaceone
of the newer and popular additions to the
downtown food scene, looked to capitalize
on Vinelands love affair with food and ran
a Sandwich of the Year contest. For this
competition, the public was invited to
submit recipes for their favorite sandwich
and explain why their sandwich best rep-
resented Vineland.
Recipe submissions were accepted until
December 31 of last year and an internal
screening committee narrowed the field
down from almost 60 entries to eight final-
ists. These eight sandwiches will be made
and offered for sale over the next few
weeks by Las Lomas Fresh Mexican Grille
and Lucianos FreshMarket (both located
in the upper level of Landis MarketPlace).
In early February, a panel of judges will get
together at Landis MarketPlace, taste all
eight sandwiches and select one of them
to be Vinelands first-ever Sandwich of
the Year. For a list of the eight finalists
and when each one will be offered for
sale, please contact Landis MarketPlace at
856-213-6002.
This has been a great contest that not
only highlighted Vinelands food history,
but also displayed the creativity of many
residents.
The use of chicken in a number of the
sandwiches including several of those
that made it to the finals was not surpris-
ing, nor was the inclusion of ethnic
favorites such as Italian long hots, gua-
camole or broccoli rabe. However, I dont
think most people would have guessed that
a recipe calling for the use of a fresh wild
turkey harvested from Vineland would be
submitted, or that someone would offer a
sandwich of chicken that has been soaked
in a marinade that uses marshmallow fluff
as one of its ingredients.
I certainly dont envy the judges who
will be charged with selecting a winner
from among the finalists: each entry is
unique and promises to be something
completely different than an average sand-
wich. Be sure to visit Landis MarketPlace
this month and sample them for yourself.
