Sea Isle school settles with family for $120,000 over racism in Christmas-play casting

– pressofAtlanticCity.com September 4

SEA ISLE CITY — A black family who complained city school officials kept a $\"Ladyjustice\"$ child out of a Christmas play received $120,000 in settlement money Friday. Anecqua Joyce’s family claimed in a 2004 federal lawsuit that school officials excluded Anecqua, then 9, from a 2003 holiday program because she was black. Doretha Waters-Rice, her son Glendon Durham and Anecqua sued the city’s school district and its police department over the incident. The city’s insurance fund paid Anecqua and her family $550,000 in July to settle their claims that police violated the family’s civil rights when they wrongly arrested Waters-Rice, Anecqua’s grandmother, after she complained about the child’s exclusion. The most recent settlement, approved Friday by a U.S. District Court judge, involves the family’s claims against school officials. Music teacher Gail Rodger testified in federal court that she left Anecqua out of the Christmas play because Rodger had her confused with another black child whom she thought was a Jehovah’s Witness, court records show.

Gloucester City Resident Launches Unique Website Named \”FaultMeter\”

Hi Bill,

My name is Todd Roberts. I have been a Gloucester City resident all my life. I went through the Gloucester City $\"Fault$ public school system (Brown Street, Mary Ethel, Gloucester High Valedictorian, class of 2003). I attended New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, NJ, from 2003-2007, where I earned a BS in Information Technology with a concentration in Management Information Systems and a minor in Management. I was a member of the Albert Dorman Honors College, and I graduated Magna Cum Laude. I now make my home in Gloucester Heights with my wife Dana, also a life-long resident of Gloucester City and 2003 graduate of Gloucester High.

About a year ago I came up with the idea to create a website where the public could vote on user-submitted stories to determine guilt or innocence. I was attracted by the public’s unbiased, outside-looking-in perspective. I wanted to provide a fun, dynamic, engaging environment for users to anonymously voice their opinions and seek those of others. After a year, thousands of lines of code, and countless hours of tedious development and testing, I brought www.FaultMeter.com online for public use on Friday, August 13.

FaultMeter is a website where users post anecdotal stories and other users vote to determine the poster’s Fault Level. Fault Level is the sum of guilty votes (+1) and innocent votes (-1). A Fault Level above zero indicates the poster is guilty, while a Fault Level below zero indicates the poster is innocent. Stories should describe a situation in one of the following categories: Family, Miscellaneous, Relationships, School, Technology, and Work. Users may post any story that they want judged, as long as it complies with the FaultMeter Terms of Use. In addition to posting stories and voting to determine Fault Level, users may post comments on the stories.

FaultMeter is completely free and anonymous, and users receive no compensation—other than the peace of mind that comes with a decision of guilt or innocence. Registration is completely optional, but is encouraged for vote history and tracking of favorite stories. Even if a registered user is logged in, stories and comments may still be posted anonymously.

In addition to the FaultMeter website (http://www.faultmeter.com), FaultMeter is on Twitter ( http://twitter.com/FaultMeter) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/FaultMeter/119189792694).

Thank you,

Todd Roberts

Brooklawn Apartments Sold for $3.1 Million

$\"Brooklawn$ GEBROE-HAMMER ASSOCIATES CLOSES $3.1 MILLION SALE OF 54 UNITS IN BROOKLAWN.
Historic Suburb Favored by Tenants Commuting to Philadelphia

BROOKLAWN, September 2, 2010 – Suburban commuter towns in southern New Jersey continue to attract multi-family investors and tenants alike, as demonstrated by the recent $3.1 million all-cash sale of the 97 percent-occupied Brooklawn Court Apartments in Brooklawn, N.J. Gebroe-Hammer Associates’ Joel Schwartz, executive vice president, represented the seller, Brooklawn, LLC, and procured the buyer, a long-time client, in the transaction.

PHOTO: BROOKLAWN APARTMENTS, BROWING ROAD, BROOKLAWN 08030

\”Brooklawn has a lot of character and history, given its proximity to the banks of the Delaware River, with a strong tenant pool of hard-working families,\” said Schwartz, who procured the buyer and finalized the deal after another firm was unable to close the sale with a signed contract. \”Just like the suburban markets serving New York City, there is an extremely high level of interest among multi-family investors who want to acquire small-to-mid-sized apartment buildings throughout New Jersey’s southern suburbs which are the gateway to Philadelphia.\”

The three two-story garden-style apartment buildings, located at 301-501 Browning Rd., are comprised of $\"CNB$ 54 two-bedroom units directly across the street from the Alice Costello School, the town’s pre-kindergarten through grade eight elementary school. Local shopping and dining are nearby within the borough’s historic business district.

Situated in southwestern Camden County, just off of Route 295, Brooklawn borders Bellmawr and Gloucester City as well as Gloucester County. The borough is served by five NJ Transit bus routes, one of which is two blocks away on Route 130. Philadelphia is seven minutes away via Amtrak.

\”Multi-family transactions continue to surpass their office and industrial counterparts, especially in the suburbs, where sales volume is on the rise,\” said Ken Uranowitz, managing director. \”More and more property owners, many of whom possess decades of experience, are acknowledging that now is the ideal time to sell given the accelerated demand for multi-family properties in a record-low interest rate lending environment. Also, several clients have chosen to sell right now as the window closes on the 15% Capital Gains tax at year’s end.\”

Legal counsel for the transaction was provided by Tom Cohn, Esq., of Coughlin & Duffy in Morristown and Harold Ritvo Esq., of Hackensack, on behalf of the seller and buyer, respectively.

Gebroe-Hammer is the region’s dominant brokerage firm specializing in the sale of multi-family, retail and commercial properties throughout New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia. Clients include private owners, REITs, private equity firms and other institutional investors.

DRPA CEO Announces 2 % Budget Cut and Hiring Freeze

DRPA Announces Goal for 2011 Budget

Delaware River Port Authority CEO John J. Matheussen (photo) enters the budget season $\"DRPA$ by announcing an aggressive goal of a 2 percent operating budget reduction for 2011 and a hiring freeze.

\”Many of us don’t have to look past our own household to know that the economy is showing little or no signs of improvement,\” says DRPA CEO John J. Matheussen. \”Recent daily economic news supports the notion of a continued recession for our region and nation.\”

In response to these continued economic hard times, the Board of the Delaware River Port Authority/PATCO last week voted to give some relief to its customers by retaining the toll discounts for seniors, commuters and those who drive certain high gas mileage vehicles.

According to CEO Matheussen, \”In recognition of how important these toll
