Letters: The Best Candidate is Wil Levins

\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef01157153a790970b-200wi\" I am writing this letter in support of my husband Wil Levins. He is running as an Independent Candidate for Gloucester City Council.

I want to start by telling you that he is a wonderful husband and father to our two girls. I’m sure you have seen this and heard it many times before. I just needed to say it again. He works very hard to support our family. I feel very lucky to have found someone like Wil to share my life with. You can be sure that if he is elected in November you will have someone that is dedicated to and has the best intentions for the people of Gloucester City.

He is an Independent and will be an Independent voice on City Council. I always thought he would some day run for a public office as he is very good with speaking to people and listening to what they have to say. I think many people in our community want their voices to be heard and to be informed of what is going on in our government.

We bought our house on Baynes Avenue nine years ago after we were married and wanted to start a family. We both love this city. Wil and his family are from Gloucester City. I am not originally from here but have always felt very accepted, as if this were my home town too. Both of our girls go to Cold Springs School and I am the treasurer for their PTO.

I can assure you that if my husband is elected he will do his very best to represent all of the citizens of Gloucester City. I think it is important that every resident have the right to know what is happening in their community and have a watchdog on City Council to be there voice.

I hope that you give Wil a chance to show you what he can do for the people of Gloucester City by voting for him on November 3rd.

Sincerely,

Gina Levins, Gloucester City

ROWAN HALTS TCNJ’S CONFERENCE WINNING STREAK AT 20

Ewing, NJ… Rowan University’s Lauren Conner (Egg Harbor Twp., NJ/Egg Harbor Twp.) scored on a penalty stroke with 1:19 left in overtime as the Profs pulled off a 3-2 win over The College of New Jersey field hockey team on Saturday.

The win by the Profs brought an end to TCNJ’s impressive 20-game winning streak against New Jersey Athletic Conference opponents. The last loss for the Lions against a conference opponent came back on October 22, 2005 when they fell 2-1 in overtime at Montclair State. Since then, the Lions boasted three perfect 6-0 seasons in the NJAC and won their first two conference games this season.

Eighth-ranked TCNJ is 6-3 overall and 2-1 in the NJAC, while the 14th-ranked Profs remained unbeaten in conference play at 3-0 and are 7-4 overall.

With time winding down in the first overtime, Conner gave the Profs a win on the penalty stroke putting a low shot into the far corner of the net.

TCNJ set up overtime as freshman Caitlyn Jenkins (Mickleton, NJ/Kingsway) deflected in a shot off of the stick of junior Kellyn Riley (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill West) with 4:35 left in regulation.

In the first half, the Profs got off the early lead as junior Lauren Ross (Gloucester City, NJ/Gloucester) knocked in a feed from Jenna Lombardo (Barnegat, NJ/Southern Regional). That goal came 7:40 into the game.

Movie studio planners make $5M pitch

The federal HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development) Section 108 loan allows a community to authorize borrowing up to five times their current year’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation. Norristown’s CDBG allocation is slightly more than $1 million a year.

 \”The most important thing is we have created a tremendous number of jobs because of the U.S. Maintenance deal,\” said Charles Gallub, the principal of Develcom, a Bellmawr, N.J., development firm. \”We are contractually obligated to create 450 jobs.\”

Attorney Marcel Groen, representing Develcom, said most of the $5 million loan would be used to build a 50,000-square-foot supermarket to be leased by Pathmark Corp. in a 20-year lease.

Documentary Film Critical of NJ\’s Education System Open this Weekend

From Friday\’s (10/9)Courier Post (http://www.courierpostonline.com)A new documentary film (The Cartel)detailing shortcomings of the New Jersey public education system has won acclamation at local film festivals and is getting a chance to be seen by the public. The film runs about 90 minutes and focuses on several of the 31 Abbott districts — poorer, mostly urban districts, including Camden. \”When money is coming from the state, there is a disconnect between who gives the money and who spends the money. That\’s a waste. You can have 29 percent of that money being wasted, and it doesn\’t enrage people because it\’s coming from the state,\” Bob Bowdon producer.

Bowdon believes Abbott districts spend money wastefully because if they don\’t spend every penny they won\’t get even more money the following year. Gloucester City is an Abbott District and spent $218,000 this year on stadium lights to play four football games under the lights. The district also received Abbott funds to build a $20 million gym constructed three years ago. There was nothing wrong with the old gym except it needed a new floor. Presently Gloucester City School Board is waiting for $67 million from the state to build a Middle School. When the Middle School was first proposed the construction costs was $20 million. Millions were spent by taxpayers to clear the former industrial site of contaminants. The four block area, once the home for 70 families and one neighborhood business, has been sitting vacant for several years now waiting for construction funds from a state that is bankrupt. ~Bill Cleary

When the New Jersey Schools Construction Corporation ran out of money and left a number of school districts in the lurch over schools that had been approved but not yet funded and built, it retooled and re-emerged as the Schools Development Authority.

THE CARTEL OPENS IN THEATERS THIS WEEKEND! The film will screen at AMC theatres in Cherry Hill, Elizabeth, and Menlo Park, and at the Showroom in Asbury Park.For more information, visit www.thecartelmovie.com.
