Bellmawr Residents Concerned About Repairs to Fire Damaged Home

By Chris Concannon

NEWS Correspondent

A number of residents from Rose Avenue questioned Bellmawr Mayor and Council during last week’s meeting about a home which caught fire on April 19.

Although cleanup teams have been removing burned out debris since the spring fire, the residents wondered what – if anything – was being done with the home.

\"Glou__Transmission

Mayor Frank Filipek said a portion of the property would be demolished in order to determine the soundness of the existing foundation.

He added that a new home would be built on the site. It will be sold openly, and not rented.

A check of the property revealed that although it is still completely boarded up, there is a dumpster located in the driveway for scrap and debris.

The Mayor said the new home would not have a \”Mother-In-Law\” suite of any kind.

Gloucester City School Board July Meeting Report

By Jennifer Alvarado

NEWS Correspondent

Even though the students are on summer break, the Gloucester City Board of Education (BOE) is still hard at work.

During last week’s meeting, the BOE deliberated about making the Gloucester City \"Pine High School\’s Dance Club an activity, or have it remain a club.

Last year, the Dance Club had approximately 50 members. This year there are around 75 members.

Ultimately, the School Board approved the Dance Team as an activity, like cheerleading. The Board also approved field trips and workshops for the 2010-11 school year.

Board members said the Camden County Health Department would be allowed to use facilities at a Gloucester City school in October.

Unfortunately, Board members said, state funding was cut to $754,392 for the district. But, on the upside, adult education increased to $155,000.

During the meeting, one BOE member brought up funding concerns for clubs that only have one or two members.

His concern was that funds are being wasted if there were only one or two members in a club, and that a stipulation should be in place requiring a minimum number in attendance for the club to remain in existence.

Some of the other concerns were how was this information going to be reported, and if it was going to be done monthly, by semester, or annually.

A resident at the meeting said it should not matter how many children were attending, whether it be one or two, as one was enough to have the club remain.

Members said more discussion was needed on this issue, and the subject was tabled until the August 2 meeting at 7 p.m. in the Gloucester City High School Media Center.

Board members encouraged parents, students, and staff to attend the public meetings.
