CHEER-In true Gloucester City spirit 116 pints of blood were donated in all at the Evan Goldglantz blood drive sponsored by the Gloucester City Board of Health and the American Red Cross this month. Thank you to all those that participated.
JEER– I witnessed another car make a left hand turn from Market Street into traffic on Route #130 south. This is the third time this year that I have seen this happen. The NO LEFT turn has to be more clearly marked. Bigger signs or flashing lights might help. Two times they were entering the motel parking lot. Maybe someone will have to die, before something is done, hope not. ~John Hindsley
CHEER-Alice Costello School seventh graders Gabryelle Doherty and Sydney Weichmann took it upon themselves to find a creative way to raise money to directly benefit cancer patients who are treated at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Gabryelle and Sydney created Purses 4 Patients, a project where the girls collect and recycle juice pouches and sew them together into fashionable purses. Since its inception Purses 4 Patients has raised over $7,000 by selling hundreds of purses.
CHEER-Twelve players were suspended from the Rowan baseball team for underage drinking, and instead of a press release, Rowan chose silence. It was great journalism – in a Division III school, sometimes these things get let go, but it is a journalist’s job to get information out there. Good job Cody!
