The Commission on Higher Education must have been reading the minds of so many good students who dream of a higher education, but do not believe they can afford to go.
In 2006, former Gloucester City Schools Superintendent Dr. Mary Stansky was approached with a chance to partner with Camden County College in College Bound – a grant program begun by the Commission on Higher Education that offers students opportunities at the local level to prepare for higher education.
Stansky said the program offered students a chance to \”focus early\” on their futures, and \”to go out of their communities and be on college campuses.\”

Standing with U.S. Senator Arlen Specter, Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, Deputy Mayor for Transportation and Utilities Rina Cutler, SEPTA General Manager Joe Casey, DRPA Board Chair John H. Estey, Board Vice Chair Jeff Nash and others, DRPA CEO and PATCO President, John J. Matheussen, announced an agreement that will result in Light Rail Service along Market Street between City Hall and the Delaware River Waterfront initially serving Pier 70 to the South and SEPTA’s Route 15 Trolley at Girard Avenue to the North. Locations served would include Independence Mall, the Market East Regional Rail Station, City Hall, the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Reading Terminal Market, PATCO and SEPTA’s 8th and Market Street Station, numerous other transportation facilities, Penn’s Landing and other residential, employment and entertainment destinations along Columbus Boulevard.
Selection of the Route means the project can now advance to the environmental analysis phase. The $500-million dollar project could begin operations in six years.
The decision to select Market Street as the preferred route for the new light rail service is based upon almost two years of analysis, extensive input received at four public open houses session and numerous meetings with community groups and stakeholders.

\”As the nominations committee prepared for the fifth induction ceremony at Lucien’s in Berlin Township, it was evident the committee had a problem,\” explained Freeholder Jeffrey L. Nash, a co-founder of the Camden County Sports Hall of Fame.
\”The committee’s efforts to properly honor athletes who brought honor and glory to Camden County through sports were losing ground,\” Nash added.
Nash said the comm ittee’s stringent rules involving election caused a backlog as the committee attempted to honor the great athletes who performed in the county over the past 100-plus years.

Thursday, October 22, 2009President Barack Obama signed the Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act in an Oct. 22 ceremony at the White House. The new law, strongly supported by The American Legion, requires advance funding for the VA health-care system.
\”We have made the biggest commitment to veterans, the largest percent increase in the VA budget, in more than 30 years,\” Obama said. \”So we’re keeping our promise to make real progress for our vets.\”
In short, the president said, VA advance funding \”promotes accountability at the VA, it ensures oversight by Congress … And it ensures that veterans health care will no longer be held hostage to the annual budget battles in Washington.\”
The president made his remarks in the East Room of the White House, joined by VA Secretary Eric Shinseki and Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee and the bill’s sponsor.

The Gloucester City Lakes Association would like to thank everyone who contributed to our coin drop on September 25. Also we would like to congratulate Hannah Walters for winning the fishing rod and tackle box at our free drawing on Gloucester Day.
Just a reminder what the Lakes Association does as an organization. Our goal is to try and keep the water clean and algae free during the summer months. This enables kids and adults to be able to fish during the summer season. We have hired Princeton Hydro this summer to treat the Minnie Hole and as most can see the water has stayed clear all summer.
The Lakes Association also runs the Earth Day Fishing Derby every April. Doing this event takes much planning and effort. The kids registered all receive snacks and a free prize.

Why Chris Christie for Governor?
Regardless if you are a democrat, republican or independent – if you are someone who prioritizes your enjoyment of fishing, hunting and the quality of our forests you should consider the following: The Corzine administration has neglected (or perhaps in some instances, intentionally extinguishing) many of entities that oversee fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, etc.
If you\’re a hunter you might be interested to know that on the list of Governor Corzine\’s charitable trust contributions there is $13,000 to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New York. On its website ASPCA NY states: \”the ASPCA is opposed to hunting animals for sport, even if the animals killed in this way [hunted] are subsequently consumed.\”

Thursday, October 15, 2009Target Corp. matches Legion with $50,000 donation
In less than a week, an American Legion blog site raised more than $50,000 to help U.S. soldiers forced to destroy their camp and possessions during a deadly Oct. 3 enemy attack in Afghanistan. Now the Target Corporation has announced it will match that fundraising effort with $50,000 of its own. In addition, Connecticut-based Computer Sciences Corp. has donated 56 laptop computers to replace the ones destroyed in Afghanistan.
The Combat Outpost Keating Relief Fund sprang to life on The American Legion’s Burn Pit blog site after one of the 56 surviving troops wrote in an e-mail that he believed no one at home had any idea what they were doing there, and that no one cared.
