Obscene fans at Rutgers draw a penalty flag

Source http://blog.nj.com

Posted by Mark DiIonno September 11, 2007 9:56AM

The play came late in the game, when Rutgers expanded its lead over Navy to a comfortable level after a tight three quarters.

Navy\’s Reggie Campbell took the kickoff and ran full speed ahead up the middle with all the force his 168-pound body could generate. Campbell, almost always the smallest and fastest man on the field, hit a wall of XXXL-sized scarlet jerseys and was slammed to the ground at the bottom of the pile. He got up slowly, limping off. This gutsy kid, a slotback who already spent three quarters being chased and tackled by gangs of defensive linemen and linebackers, all weighing at least 100 pounds more than him, was then given a dose of Rutgers\’ student section class.

\’\’You got f—ed up. You got f—ed up. You got f–ed-up,\” they chanted.

Reggie Campbell is a senior. After graduation in June he has a five-year commitment to the American military, which, like it or not, is at war.

\”This is how you treat people who may die for this country?\” said Bill Squires, an Annapolis graduate (Class of\’75) who was on the sidelines for the Friday night game in Piscataway and was shocked by the obscene chants directed at the Navy players and fans throughout the game. \”It was the most classless thing I\’ve seen.\”

Navy was booed and peppered with \”You suck!\” chants when they stepped on the field for both halves. Toward the end of the second half, Rutgers students in the new bleacher section began to serenade the adjacent section of Navy fans and uniformed Midshipmen.

\’\’F— you, Navy. F—you, Navy. F— you, Navy.\”

\”There were wives and small children up there,\” said Squires, an academic recruiter for the academy who has been to dozens of away games and never seen such contempt directed at his team. \”Our Midshipmen reacted the way they were taught. They didn\’t respond, but the band started playing \’Anchors Aweigh\’ to drown them out. Me, I felt like going up there and smacking somebody. I was mad, and it bothered me all weekend.\”

Booing, cursing, chanting obscenities, unfortunately, are now part of the game day experience. It\’s easily been three decades since fans across the country in all sports began spending more time and creative energy jeering the visitors and officials than cheering the home team. Rutgers is far from the worst. They\’re not even the worst in New Jersey, not with the Jets\’ fans still in town. Still, every penalty against the Scarlet Knights is greeted with a chant of \”a–hole, a–hole, a–hole.\”

And now that Rutgers is winning, the long-suffering, self-effacing adult fans are being drowned out by a new generation of weight-room bully boys in scarlet T-shirts and red face-paint, who, from the safety of their seats, belittle the guys down on the field who take the hits.

Now that Rutgers is big-time, the old-time academic-and adult-minded fans are being elbowed aside by gangs of frat boys thrusting their fists and faces into the rolling ESPN cameras. What was it your old football coach used to say? Act like you\’ve been there before. Not in the RU student section.

\”At one point, I thought, we defend this country for people like this?\” said Squires, who lives in West Orange. \”I wasn\’t embarassed as a New Jerseyan. I was embarassed as a human being.\”

It was so noticeable that Rutgers athletic director Bob Mulcahy called down to Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk yesterday to make sure there were no hard feelings, according to John Wooding, an assistant AD at Rutgers.

Some will excuse the behavior as kids just being kids, out to have a loutish, drunken good time. Spewing obscenities at the visiting team is just part of the fun.

But you\’d hope our Jersey kids would be smart enough to make an exception for the service academies, especially the weekend before the anniversary of Sept. 11, their generation\’s own Day of Infamy. You\’d hope they\’d be sensitive enough to realize that some of those Midshipmen may soon be among the young American men and women fighting and bleeding and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. Young Americans, the same age as those safe in the stands watching a football game with their faces and bodies painted red.

At the very least, you\’d think the Rutgers students would have some appreciation for the effort the undersize Navy players put out. They aren\’t like the players from Louisville or West Virginia or some of the other ranked powerhouses Rutgers now finds itself among. They are what Rutgers was not so many years ago. Students first, athletes second. Except better.

The new Rutgers is a big-time football school, with all the hype and manufactured drama. Coach Greg Schiano leads his team through pregame Scarlet Walk, chest out, stomach in, looking every bit the general except without gold braids, epaulets and a full rack of medals. The band plays. The cheerleaders and dance team girls wave pompoms. The conquering heroes go past, eyes front. At game time, the scoreboard TV shows the team coming down the tunnel to a soundtrack from Armageddon. An Army helicopter chop-chops overhead (your tax dollars at work).

Football has always marched to a militaristic or tribal drum beat, to whip up players to greater levels of violence. The game is always likened to war by coaches, players, announcers and writers who haven\’t been to war.

But to Reggie Campbell and his Navy teammates, Friday night\’s game wasn\’t war. It was a game. War is around the bend.

They deserved better.

And that red on the faces of some Rutgers\’ fans wasn\’t body paint.

Princeton University 3, Rider University 0


PRINCETON—Despite 19 assists from freshman Amanda Piccolini (St. Clairsville, Ohio/St. Clairsville), the Broncs were mauled by the Tigers in three straight games on Tuesday night in a non-conference match. \”It was good to play against a high caliber team like Princeton,\” said assistant coach Michelle Walsh. \”They didn’t make too many mistakes and took advantage of every error that we made.\”

In the shortest road trip of the season for Rider (1-8), Princeton (2-2) defeated the Broncs 30-14, 30-20, 30-19.

\”The match gives a marking point for where we need to be going into conference play this weekend,\” said head coach Emily Ahlquist. \”Princeton is the defending Ivy League champions and they showed why tonight. With that said, in spots, I think we played hard but we need to play better together.\”

For the players today was the first time with classes in session and a match on the same day and according to Ahlquist, the team received an education from the Tigers.

\”Everyone on the roster, top to bottom, better have picked up something from this match,\” Ahlquist said. \”We need to take what we learned from Princeton and the experiences of the day and move forward into the conference. It’s not going to get any easier and we have to push through. We need to practice at a faster speed and need to make adjustments better on the fly.\”

Also for Rider, freshman Katelyn Thompson (Tucson, Ariz./Catalina Foothills) had 10 kills.

Princeton hit for an attack percentage of .405 with 50 kills to Rider’s 26.

\”We saw a great exhibition from the Tigers on how to end points,\” Ahlquist added. \”As soon as we made a mistake, they pounced on it and I think we needed to see a team like that to reinforce how important it is to communicate and make adjustments.\”

The Broncs take the annual trip to Buffalo this weekend, opening the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference schedule with matches against Canisius on Saturday and Niagara on Sunday.

Pet Tips by Allan: The number one dog is ………….

more Pet Tips…..

Hey Bill ,

Here\’s Today\’s Joke: Why don\’t dogs make good dancers? Because they have two left feet!

Erica……if you open your eyes I\’ll tell you who the number one dog is…..

This newsletter looks at the top five dogs based on intelligence.

And at number five on that list is the Doberman. It is important that the Doberman is trained early on in its life, as they can be quite
temperamental.

If they are trained they can be great family dogs and really good with children despite their reputation.

They are highly intelligent, and like many intelligent dogs are very protective of their master and family.

Number four is the Golden Retriever, which is often regarded as one of the most popular breeds of dog.

They are great with children and are a very loyal and loving dog. It is not uncommon to see Golden Retrievers winning dog competitions where intelligence is of
importance.

More Information:
http://AboutDogs.info/recommends/dogproduct.html

Number three on our list is a dog that is often associated with police work.

Yes, it\’s the German Shepherd, and it is chosen for its police work due to its intelligence. They make great family dogs and love children.

They need to be kept busy with work or some form of stimulation otherwise they can become depressed and unhappy. They need to know who their master is from a young age to ensure both they and the family get the most out of their relationship.

The second most intelligent dog might surprise a lot of people. Not only for the fact that they are highly intelligent, but also because they are
one of the easiest dogs to train.

And that dog is the Poodle.

Yes the Poodle comes in at number two on our list of intelligent dogs. They love people, and because of this they don\’t like to be left alone.

They are very protective and can become quite vicious if anybody encroaches upon their property or territory.

And the number one all-time most intelligent dog of all is the Border Collie

The Border Collie is another dog that is often seen winning competitions.

They\’re highly intelligent, but along with that intelligence comes the need for them to be stimulated regularly.

They\’re happiest when they\’re working or performing in competitions or dog trials.

So there you go, if you have a Border Collie, you know you have the most intelligent dog in the world, provided of course, that you have trained
it well.

The meeting was opened for public comment where Former Commissioner Tony Chambers spoke on behalf of the Girls Softball League. He explained that in the past several weeks, a gentleman had been going door to door asking to cut lawns for residents. It was further found out that this gentlemen does not have any lawn equipment and that he is believed to be a sex offender. Mr. Chambers had notified the police of this incident and they were aware of this gentleman. He wanted to address the board about information about sex offenders residing in the community and what can be done to further educate the organizations in town, such as the girls softball league, to keep the coaches and staff aware of these certain individuals. Mr. Chambers stated that he felt this item was key in helping to keep the children safe in their community. He made several suggestions to the board and asked for their consideration and to share these ideas with the Mount Ephraim Police as well.

Captain Beppel stated that all of the officers are aware of the situation and that if they continue to happen in the future, notify the police and they will respond. Captain Beppel further stated that the police department\’s hands are tied; they are bind by law what they are allowed and not allowed to do. He further stated that he, the police chief and the officers of the department will do everything in their power to keep the residents and more importantly the children safe. Residents who are concerned about sex offenders in your neighborhood can log onto the New Jersey State Police official website (www.njsp.org),

Once you are on the main page you will see a search box in the top right hand corner of the screen, you can then enter the words \”sex offender\” and then click on one of the sex offender pages. From there you just follow that page where you can search by county or by zip code. Information such as last arrest, current status, address of residency, vehicle and all information if registered in the state of NJ, name, age, date of birth and a picture is provided. This information is being made available on the Internet to facilitate public access to information about persons who have committed a sex offense, to enable you to take appropriate precautions to protect yourself and those in your care from possible harm. Public access to registry information is intended solely for the protection of the public, and should never be used to threaten, intimidate or harass another.

The Second Avenue Playground Grant that was underway is currently in the re-planning stages. A request for site relocation was received several weeks ago to have the playground plans relocated from Second Avenue to the rear of the Mary Bray School. Many residents applauded once this information was announced. There are currently 273 students at the elementary school that will get great use out of this playgrou nd.

Several residents raised questions for the board regarding the new American Water system and its billing procedures. Mayor Joe Wolk stated the board is setting up a meeting with the American Water Company to schedule a public meeting to be located at the MEPRI Banquet Hall in the near future. Once a date is chosen, the public will be advised.

The next monthly Board of Commissioners meeting will be held on Thursday, October 4, 2007, commencing at 8 p.m. at the borough hall court room located at 121 S. Black Horse Pike.

Bellmawr District Set for the New School Year

By Lois Staas

NEWS Correspondent

Ā As summer winded down, the Bellmawr School District was gearing up for the 2007-2008 academic year.

Reports of summer work, school opening, and district goal setting were discussed at the August Board of Education (BOE) meeting.

Highlights of Superintendent Annette Castiglione\’s report included technology, facilities, communication, and personnel.

All staff will use bellmawrschools.org address.

All students were entered into Global Connect, and lesson plan format is accessible. The Ethel M. Burke School has a new classroom and Bell Oaks has a new storage barn.

\”All of this is in addition to regular buildings and grounds maintenance,\” Castiglione said.

Academically, the Bellmawr Pride school bulletin will be more-timely.

Grades 2 to 4 will have agendas, and the elementary schools will be engaged in the 100 book challenge.

\”Each classroom will have a library of leveled, independent reading,\” she said. \”Schedules have been revamped so that teachers have common preparation time to work with curriculum and student needs.

\”We have reviewed applications and successfully negotiated contracts with the Bellmawr Education Association and the Bellmawr Administrator\’s Association,\” she said.

\”Our Solicitor Ronald W. Sahli conducted a residency workshop for us, and we also participated in grant writing,\” Castiglione added.

An exciting kick-off to the school year was planned for Tuesday, September 4, starting at 8 a.m.

The superintendent, BOE, faculty, staff, classroom and lunchroom aides, parents, and residents were goint to convene to focus on the new beginning.

\”The Mayor, Police Chief, community leaders and members have been invited as partners in learning,\” she said.

One highlight was the presentation by Camden County College\’s Karen McCaffrey on team building.

\”The objective of this team building exercise is to learn to work together to facilities change and to support student needs- -social, emotional, and academic,\” Castiglione said.

As of press time, Captain Muller was supposed to re-view evacuation and lock-down procedures, and the school nurse would work with staff for certification concerning blood born pathogens.

Most of the BOE meeting was devoted to examining and shaping district goals.

Field Service Representatives Gwen Thornton and Kathy Winekoff from the NJ School Boards Association worked with everyone present on state mandated district wide goals and objectives. Board governance is now part of the school monitoring evaluation pro-cess to assess the district and plan for the future.

BOE Member Jody Mangus said, \”We have an excellent education program.\”

Board President Ron Henry added, \”We have good communication between staff and children. Students can go to their favorite teacher and talk about any subject at any time.\”

Burke Principal Frank Jankowski Jr., said, \”We have a supportive community.\”

Elizabeth Calabria, Principal of Bellmawr Park, said, \”Our parents are involved, partnering with the teaching staff.\”

Bell Oaks Principal Anthony Farinelli noted the low turnover of staff.

The superintendent said, \”The Board, administration, teachers, staff, parents, and PTO really share a common goal to provide the best possible education for students. I have been welcomed with open arms; everyone was very receptive. The board is dedicated. Teachers who work here stay here. That is a statement about job satisfaction.\”

Members of the public concluded that the reading program is excellent and acknowledged that \”our kids are our greatest asset.\”

Areas identified as works in progress included Jody Mangus\’s comment that technology and community relations need continued attention.

Mr. Farenelli said, \”In general every district needs to update and revise curriculum.\”

Board member Betty Sheppard noted the board was considering hiring a district curriculum coordinator.

A suggestion was also made that the district was in need of a grant writer to access corporate funds.

In addition, instead of placing some special education students out of district, space is needed so that greater articulation and full access to the curriculum is possible for special education students.

Two areas of special attention were the budget and public relations.

Castiglione acknowledged the great audits that successfully passed but was concerned about passage of the budget.

\”We need to assess our business office and search for greater efficiency, better use of support staff and cross-training,\” she said.

Good public relations and passage of the budget will directly benefit the children.

Using the guideline for the NJ Quality Single Accountability Continuum, the Board formulated two sets of goals to be submitted and adapted during the September meeting.

Thornton said the following district goals are objective based criteria used for the superintendent\’s end of year evaluation.

Thornton reminded the Board that the budget, \”is the financial translation of these goals. The goals drive the agendas of the committee.\”

Under consideration for adaptation are the following district goals:

1. Develop integrated Pre-K-8 curriculum aligned to NJ Core Content Curriculum Standards;

2. Develop and review financial operation to implement financial efficiencies which engages community activity ensuring that the budget is transparent to the community;

3. Expand the use of technology to increase operational efficiencies and to provide parents/community expanded access to the educational program;

4. Expand opportunities for meaningful two-way communication with all stake holders.

Under consideration for improvement of board governance are the following board goals:

1. Continue to revise policy manual to insure compliance with all federal and state requirements;

2. Work collaboratively with town officials and community members to improve relationships and foster closer relationships;

3. Complete board self-evaluation.

In regular business Board Member Jody Mangus reported that the NJ Department of Transportation is required to remediate the 80 feet of baseball field required to expand 295.

\”This is years down the line- -nine or ten- -but we are asking the community about how to use the remediate land,\” she said.

Rider University Issues Campus Security Alert

Important Campus Security Alert

Dear Rider Community,

On Monday afternoon, September 10th, Rider and a number of other colleges and universities across the country, received an email bomb threat for Tuesday, September 11th. Rider University officials worked closely with Lawrence Township police, Princeton Borough police and the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force to assess the risk to the Rider community.

Because the e-mail contained no specific Rider target, and more than 60 universities have received similar false threats in recent weeks, including four in New Jersey, the FBI indicated that they do not view this as a credible threat. Nevertheless, out of concern for the safety of the Rider community on both campuses, we have increased our security measures.

While the University will remain open on both campuses for all classes tonight and for all day and evening classes tomorrow, access to the Lawrenceville campus will be restricted. Beginning at 8 p.m. Monday, the main entrance will be closed, and all traffic will be limited to the South entrance. The South entrance security kiosk will be staffed by University public safety and Lawrence Township police officers. In addition, there will be increased patrols on both campuses by public safety and local law enforcement officers. We ask all members of the Rider community to maintain awareness of their surroundings, and to report any suspicious activity to public safety at extension 7777 or 609-896-5029. We will continue to keep the University community informed when there is additional information.
