Braves\’ ground attack a worry for Gloucester Catholic

Link: CourierPostOnline.com | Courier-Post.

The Gloucester Catholic Rams (6-0), No. 6 in the Small Schools Top 10, can secure at least a share of the division title with a victory. And with one division game left next week against Highland, another win would give them the outright title.If Williamstown were to win, the Braves would need to defeat Cumberland next week to secure at least a share. That, combined with a victory over Delsea on Thanksgiving, would give them the title outright.

And with the playoff cutoff set for next Saturday, there are power points to be earned in hopes of securing a home playoff game.

Link: Pennsylvania Game Commission Release #118-08.

HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Game Commission is expecting hunters to encounter a sizeable wild turkey population when they head afield for the opening day of wild turkey season Saturday. And finding birds this fall may be easier than it was last year.

\”Wild turkey hunting is one of Pennsylvania’s premiere outdoor experiences,\” said PGC Executive Director Carl G. Roe. \”The satisfaction derived from calling in and taking a game bird that can see you twitch at 50 yards is a fulfillment that veteran hunters never tire of and new turkey hunters can’t wait to experience.

\”The good news for this fall is that we believe there are great opportunities for wild turkey hunters throughout the state. But, as always, pre-season scouting and planning will be imp $\"Pennsylvania$ Image via Wikipediaortant to your hunting success.\”

Season lengths vary in the state\’s Wildlife Management Units for fall turkey hunting: WMUs 1A, 1B and 2A (Shotgun and bow and arrow only) – Nov. 1-15; WMU 2B (Shotgun and bow and arrow only) – Nov. 1-22; WMUs 2C, 2E, 2F, 4A and 4B – Nov 1-15; WMUs 2D, 2G, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 4C, 4D and 4E – Nov. 1-22; WMUs 5A and 5B – closed to fall hunting; and WMUs 5C and 5D (Shotgun and bow and arrow only) – Nov. 1-7.

Mary Jo Casalena, Game Commission wild turkey biologist, said Pennsylvania’s wild turkey population is above the 10-year-average thanks to good reproduction the past two springs and generally conservative fall season lengths, which prevents overharvest of hens.

Breaking News: Train Derails in Gloucester City

photos and caption by Bill Cleary

A CSX cargo train carrying rolls of paper and food items for businesses in the Bellmawr Industrial Park derailed in Gloucester City today shortly after 12 noon. The accident occurred on Johnson Blvd. near the City’s Little League and Softball fields.

According to the engineer the tracks the train is riding on were laid in 1916. \”The boxcars today are too large and are carrying much heavier loads. The rails are nearly 100 years old. They were not built for boxcars this size. They should be replaced.\”

The engineer said no one was injured. And there was no danger to the public. CSX was notified of the accident and was sending out a crew to right the boxcar and fix the rails.

May his memory truly be eternal/Major Ed \”Too Tall\” Freeman

article submitted by Pete McGlade, Key Largo, Florida

Honor…..simply put,

A veteran – whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve– is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to \’The United States of America\’, for an amount of \’up to and including his life.\’ That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

We Were Soldiers Once

You\’re an 18 or 19 year old kid. You\’re critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang
Valley, 11-14-1965. LZ Xray, Vietnam. Your Infantry Unit is outnumbered 8 – 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.

You\’re lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you\’re not getting out. Your family is half-way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you\’ll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.

Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see a Huey, but it doesn\’t seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.

Ed Freeman is coming for you. He\’s not Medi-Vac, so it\’s not his job, but he\’s flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.

He\’s coming anyway. And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.

Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses. And, he kept coming back…… 13 more times….. and took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.

Medal of Honor Recipient Ed Freeman died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise, ID……

May God rest his soul…
