Tips and Snippets: Broadway Work, Skinheads, Paying for Water, Et cetera

By Bill Cleary

$\"O$ GLOUCESTER CITY-Did you notice all the construction work on South Broadway between Market and Monmouth Streets last week? If you rode by the area it was pretty hard to miss the workers cutting up the sidewalk and the backhoe loading buckets of dirt into trucks. Trying to get into the City Post Office was a nightmare since the area was roped off with traffic cones and construction tape. I couldn’t recall reading anything about plans for a major project this size anywhere. And so being a curious person I contacted Councilman Nick Marchese.

Marchese explained that $150,000 is being spent to enhance this section of South Broadway. \”Plans call for five iron park benches, 12 banner poles and 17 free standing decorative lights to be installed along with state-of-art sidewalks. Depending on the weather it is expected to take between two to three weeks to complete.\”

Marchese said the funds for the work are being provided by the New Jersey Department of Transportation and the Gloucester City Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ). He added, \”The City engineers are working on a similar streetscape plan for Market Street from Broadway to King Street and for sections of Burlington Street. Plus the City recently received $270,000 from President Obama’s stimulus project to be used to extend the project north on Broadway from Monmouth Street to Hudson Street. The work will begin in spring 2010.\”

I came across an article about protestors at the 3rd Annual $\"030409officerassaultsuspect2_20090304152333196_320_240\"$ \”Leif Erickson Day Celebration\” in Philadelphia at the statue of the Viking explorer on October 11. The demonstrators were from the Keystone State \”Skinheads\” . The reporter for the blog http://libcom.org interviewed the convicted felon Christopher DeMunguia, of Gloucester City. I can’t believe this guy is not in jail. Checking with the local police department I was told his case is still pending.

In February, DeMunguia, only six months out of jail on an aggravated assault conviction, assaulted a police officer when he and three other officers went to a bar in Gloucester City to arrest him on another aggravated assault charge. A judge not knowing his background or the threats he made to police, allowed him to post bail, even though he didn\’t even have a known address. DeMunguia told the libcom reporter that he justified his situation with the fact that child molesters and rapists are also released. \”I would rather somebody that beat somebody up live next to me than somebody that\’s going to molest my kid,\” he said.

$\"O$ I received a Tip this past week about the contractor who is storing equipment on the Market Street lot between north and south Route 130. The individual, a plumber, wondered why there was no meter on the water hydrant the contractor is using to gauge the amount of water being used. Administrator Jack Lipsett said, \”The City charges a contractor either by bulk or by a meter. In this case the contractor for the 295 project, RE Pierson is being charged by bulk. The City is being paid.\”

Et Cetera…By the way I don’t post comments on ClearysNoteBook.com that pertain to family members of elected officials. I mention this as I received a remark this past week about the wives of three city council members that never saw the light. I don’t believe family members should be singled out just because their husband/wife happens to be serving on council. This particular commentary was posted to the article PBA Union Official Response to Gannett News Articles. Why this person thought it was necessary to bring the wives into the contract fight between the City and the union is beyond me.

PA HUNTERS REMINDED THAT LICENSES STILL MUST BE DISPLAYED

$\"Fruits$ Image via Wikipedia

The omission of a regulation that has been in place for decades in this year’s digest has caused some hunters and trappers to wonder whether they still are required to display their licenses in the middle of the back as has been done for many, many years. Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe answered, \”Yes, it still needs to be displayed.\”

Roe noted that the Game Commission is supporting House Bill 460, sponsored by Rep. Neil Goodman (D-Schuylkill), which proposes to remove the statutory requirement that licenses be displayed, and thereby allow hunters to place their hunting license in their wallet with other ID.

Roe said, when the agency was drafting the digest, it was believed that the HB 460 may be enacted before the start of the license year on July 1. So, to avoid potentially conflicting information, a decision was made to modify the wording about the requirement that licenses must be displayed.

\”License buyers do need to remember that the digest is not the ‘Game & Wildlife Code’ or its attendant regulations, and should not be considered final on legal interpretation,\” Roe said. \”In printing the digest, the agency simply summarizes the more important and frequently misunderstood hunting and trapping regulations.\”

Commentary: Dealing With Loss on Sesame Street

NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2009 – To the envy of all the neighborhood kids, I was invited to New York yesterday to attend the taping of a special Sesame Workshop production aimed at helping military children.

I was in awe when I walked down the real-world Sesame Street. As I passed the laundromat and Mr. Hooper’s famous storefront, the years slid away with each step until, once again, I was a 5-year-old glued to an episode of \”Sesame Street\” on my early 1970s TV set.
I was transported back to the present when down the hall I heard the familiar, high-pitched tones of that furry red Muppet who has gained superstar-like status in recent years. Elmo and his good friend, Rosita, were rehearsing a scene on a brightly lit park set. click link below to continue $\"BestofVegas.$ ……

GAME COMMISSION OFFERS WARM-WEATHER VENISON CARE TIPS

$\"KNUTSFORD,$ Image by Getty Images via Daylife

Improperly field-dressing a deer and warm weather can impact the quality of venison warns Dr. Walter Cottrell, Pennsylvania Game Commission wildlife veterinarian.

\”The first step in making sure that the venison reaches the table in the best possible condition is, sighting in and practicing with your sporting arm,\” Dr. Cottrell said. \”Coupling that with knowledgeable shot placement ensures a clean kill and minimal damage to edible parts of the animal.

\”After properly tagging their deer, hunters should wear latex or nitrile gloves to remove the entrails. Care should be taken to remove entrails without rupturing them, and hunters should drain excess blood remaining in the cavity. Do not wash out the deer in a creek. Wipe down the cavity with a dry cloth or paper towels, being careful to remove all visible blood and hair.\”….click link below to continue …

Fear factory – South Philly Review

$\"Daguerreotype$ Image via Wikipedia

by Jessica Lynn Argondizza

Brat Productions creates scares and chills at a Jackson Street warehouse using the master of macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, as inspiration.

Entering a dungeon-like warehouse on the cusp of South Philadelphia, it’s not entirely clear what’s in store. Two peasants, after macabre greetings, break everyone into small groups.

Welcome to the realm of Edgar Allan Poe. Or, more accurately, a 10,000-square-foot warehouse at 38 Jackson St. that houses Brat Production’s \”Haunted Poe,\” which brings together the classic haunted house with a night at the theater.
