Tim has been on the mailing list of the Yellow Ribbon Club. We have shipped lots of goodies to him and we are very excited that we will get to see him in person and thank him. He was the first recipient of JARHEAD JERKY (IT will make you grunt!) which is homemade beef jerky created and made by his father in law. Now, his father in law is making it for all of our care packages and is being shipped all over the Middle East.

Tim’s in-laws are members of the Yellow Ribbon Club and they are requesting a very loud welcome home for their son-in-law. Please come join the Yellow Ribbon Club, Evesham Fire-Rescue, the Warrior Watch Riders and Friends, and the Township of Evesham in making a lot of noise in welcoming Tim home.

First I want to commend the City Employees and the citizenry for their efforts and patience during the recent historical snowfalls. I think the job of snow removal and displacement was excellent in comparison to the surrounding communities that I was forced to venture into during the storm. Our guys worked long and hard hours through the night to make the streets as safe as possible and their efforts did not go unnoticed.

Edith was a generous and selfless woman who put her family before everything else, including herself. After her husband passed away in 1969, Edie moved from Cherry Hill to West Deptford to raise her three young children. She also raised her granddaughter and cared for her aging mother. To provide for her family, Edie worked two jobs – at Macys and AMC movie theater in Deptford. Besides her family, one of Edie\’s greatest joys was to share the many wonderful memories of her childhood and her life with her husband. Her courage and smile remained with her until the very end.

Edith is the loving mother of James (Billie-Jo), Linda, and the late Jon Levengood; adoring Mom-Mom of Stephanie, Jon, Tyler, and Tiffany; beloved great grandmother of Damian; dear friend of Doris Lowe; beloved sister of Marge Tieers of Gloucester City and the late Doris Vogel, Elaine Scheule and Barbara Thomas. Also survived by many nieces and nephews whom she adored. Edith was predeceased by her husband James.

The monthly column from Gloucester City Mayor William James will be posted on Friday’s page (tomorrow). His topics will include a thank you to city employees and citizens, the effect of Governor’s Corzine’s cutbacks to local governments, the future of the proposed $60 million Middle School and the work being done at Freedom Pier.

Noncompliance Finding Forwarded to the Secretaries of Commerce and the Interior

The State of New Jersey has not implemented the regulations of the Interstate FMP for Atlantic Coastal Sharks. The implementation of these regulations is necessary to rebuild depleted shark stocks, ensure sustainable harvest of others, and provide protection for sharks in state nursing and pupping grounds. The Technical Committee has identified Delaware Bay as one of the most important nursing grounds for depleted
sandbar sharks on the Atlantic Coast. Included in the 22 commercial and recreational regulations in the FMP is a seasonal closure from Virginia north through New Jersey to protect pupping sandbar sharks.

In order to come back into compliance the State of New Jersey must implement all measures contained in the FMP. Upon notification by the Commission, the Secretary of Commerce has 30 days to review the recommendation and determine appropriate action, which may include a federal moratorium on fishing for all 40 species of coastal sharks managed under the FMP in New Jersey\’s state waters.
