MOUNT EPHRAIM-Mayor Joseph Wolk received several letters from Mount Ephraim residents commenting on the wonderful job Public Works employees did sanding, salting and plowing the roads during the snowstorms this winter.

\”Neighbors came together and helped each other out,\” Mayor Wolk proudly said of the residents’ response to all the snowfall.

Speaking at the March Board of Commissioners’ meeting, the mayor was referring to the four major snowstorms that set an all-time record of 78 inches of snow for one season.

Commissioner Bruce Greenwald read out loud a letter received from School Superintendent Joseph Rafferty thanking the Public Works, Police and Fire department for their hard work with regard to the snowstorms and helping to keep the children of Mount Ephraim safe.

Borough Clerk Terry Shannon read a proclamation in honor of Women’s History Month, which stated that women contribute to the work force in and out of their homes and they account for the majority of volunteer workers in New Jersey.

Westville is another town that is contemplating the painting of the borough water tower.

The neighboring town of Brooklawn is considering the need to refurbish their water supply tower, also.

A representative from the Utility Service Company delivered a presentation during the February Borough Council meeting on the necessities of having the water tower reconditioned and painted.

Marty Mazella, from the company, explained that water tanks are a high-risk asset.

\”They are dangerous to climb in order to inspect and repair. It is a financial burden on the municipality to maintain the proper upkeep on the water tank,\” he said.

His surveillance shows that there is corrosion on the steel on the tower roof.

\”This can cause the loss of steel thereby endangering the water supply,\” he said, adding that if the company is awarded the job, scheduled tasks would be performed after completion of the painting, with follow-up yearly inspections.

\”Every two years the tank would be drained and cleaned, and structure repairs and touch up coatings would be also be maintained,\” Mazzela said.

He said cost of blasting the tower and painting would be approximately $550,000.

\”Upfront fees can be spread out for six months and the maintenance fees would cost approximately $31,000 per year. We provide the municipality with expert profession management of the water tank with a warranty that will continue to provide good water quality,\” Mazella said.

Mayor Russell Welsh and Council members will further discuss the project along with Donna Domico, Public Works Manager, and other department heads. The tower was first erected in 1954.

Council discussed the Web Inquiry & Payment Portal (WIPP) internet program.

Borough Administrator William Bittner explained that for a slight charge by the user, on-line payments with credit cards may be used to pay resident tax bills.

Currently, there is not a system in place for property owners wanting to pay the tax bills on-line.

\”It may cost about $2,100 for the software and maintenance fees,\” Bittner said.

Councilman George Baker has been pushing the idea for the service for a while.

\”I feel that the program would provide advantages for a lot of people,\” Baker said.

Bittner said he will provide further information to the governing body for their decision.

Mayor Welsh presented the oath of office during the meeting to Steven G. Flannery, who is now a Special Law Enforcement Officer II.

How come when it snows, residents get fined if we do not shovel our sidewalks – but in some areas of Gloucester City this does not happen?

On Nicholson Road, some businesses and residences shovel the driveway and the parking lot, but not the front sidewalks. Why do they get away with that?

Also, not everyone drives and people have to walk across the City bridges. If I slip on the bridge, I can sue Gloucester City for this.

Kipper is a cute little guy pulled from a shelter. He is a Corgi mix. He is approximately one and a half years old and needs lots of exercise. A family with a fenced-in yard will have loads of fun playing ball with him! He is housebroken and crate trained.

Kipper\’s tail is always wagging and he loves people! He needs a job to do; put away his toys, bring his family a toy or bone, do some tricks. He is constantly on the move and even loves to go for car rides.

This little guy does best in a home with no other dogs or a big dog. He has a high prey drive and will chase cats and small animals if given the chance. He responds well to positive training methods.

Kipper has had some training at Brother of the Wolf; any person adopting him would be welcome to enroll in a training class at Brother of the Wolf at no cost. He is worth saving and would make the right family a wonderful best friend!

Kipper weighs under 20 pounds but he is all muscle; he excels in agility and would love to show you how high he can jump! He is up to date on shots and is heartworm negative. He would do best with a family that is experienced with high-energy dogs.

 If you think you can give Kipper a Forever Home please contact either Kathy Hall, NJ/NY regional coordinator of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi National Rescue Trust or Dawn Watson, owner and lead trainer of Brother of the Wolf, located in Gloucester City.

Gloucester City News 

GLOUCESTER CITY NEWS: U.S. District Judge Robert B. Kugler ruled last week that Cheerleaders on Route 130 in Gloucester City can temporarily stay open.

During its February meeting, the Gloucester City Planning Board had ruled against the gentlemen’s club, saying it was no longer grandfathered under the zoning law change in 1997 that banned go-go bars in the town.

Attorneys for the club filed an appeal after the Board’s decision.

The judge said there will be a formal hearing this June involving Gloucester City and Cheerleaders, but for now it can stay open as a \”bring your own\” establishment.

Since the N.J. Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control stripped Cheerleaders of its liquor license in January, patrons have been bringing their own beer or wine with them to enjoy while watching the dancers.

Planning Board members felt this way of operating did not meet the criteria to be considered a \”pre-existing, non-conforming use.\”

On April 16, 2000, a patron, Humberto Herrara, then 23, of Woodbury was flagged for being drunk, and Cheerleaders’ staff called him a taxi.

Instead, he got into his car and made a left – the wrong way on Route 130.

About 53 feet south of the Little Timber Creek Bridge, his car collided with a vehicle driving in the correct direction, killing Patricia and Robert Reed of Gloucester City.

After a lengthy legal battle, the club had its liquor license revoked early this year by the state.

Business Owner Frank Antico had told the Planning Board he planned to shift the bar to a \”bring your own bottle\” set up, which would allow patrons to bring in their own beer and wine, purchased elsewhere, and the club’s wait staff would then serve it back to them while they took in the entertainment.

Last month, attorneys had submitted copies of deeds showing that the property has been home to a go-go bar since 1976.

Testimony was given to the Planning Board by individuals who have patronized the establishment, under different ownerships, from that time to the present, as to the kind of entertainment, food and drink that was offered.

Club representatives said the nature of the business has been consistent, with the exception that food is no longer prepared on site.

Patrons have the option of ordering in food from several local restaurants, which is then served to them by Cheerleaders’ employees.
