On behalf of the Heroes to Hero 5k run I would like to thank you for your past support in helping our foundation to remember and honor our three fallen heroes.

If our past sponsors, along with a few new sponsors, continue to support our event, we will be able to continue our endeavor of providing scholarships to three area high schools as well as a continued a large donation to the Camden County Hero Scholarship Fund who is committed to offsetting the cost of college to the children of deceased or geminately injured Police Officers, Firefighters and EMT’s in Camden County.

Your Business/Department/Station/Local/Organizations’ name will be on the back of the official Race-Day Tee-Shirt for $100.

City of Gloucester City Has New Modern Water Treatment Plant

\"100_0465\"

 

Caption by Bill Cleary (photos by Adrianne Parent)

THE GRAND OPENING of the City of Gloucester City Water Works was held on September 21. Attending the ceremony were former council members who were instrumental in the planning of the project along with present council members who continued to work on the plans and passed legislation for the funding of the $9.6 million plant.

\"100_0442\" Former council members included: Mayor Thomas Kilcourse, Councilmembers Ray Coxe, Jean Kaye, William Hagan Sr., Patrick Keating, Anthony Kormann, Elsie Loebell, administrator Paul Kain.

Present council members: Mayor William James, Council members John Hutchinson, Dan Spencer Jr., Nicholas Marchese, Bruce Parry, Jay Brophy, Kellie Ferry, administrator Jack Lipsett.

The existing Gloucester City Water Treatment Plant was originally constructed in the early 1880s. The reservoir and filter building were constructed in 1883, while the settling tank and pump house were constructed in 1921. The main treatment equipment, which are the pressure sand filter tanks were installed in 1959.

The replacement was needed to improve water quality being pumped from the City wells and to replace existing equipment that has exceeded its life expectancy.

The new water treatment plant was constructed on the site of the reservoir and included new aerators for gas removal from the well water, plate settlers for iron and manganese removal, new pressure sand filters to polish the water, and air stripper towers to remove chemical contaminants from the water. The replacement plant was designed by the City Engineers, Remington & Vernick Engineers in coordination with the City’s Water Department Director, Fred Schindler, and his staff.

The plant was built by L. C Construction of Williamstown, New Jersey for the amount of $ 9,636,000. The City is funding the project through a low interest loan from the New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust Program.

Visiting Huis Ten Bosch, Nagasaki Prefecture & Sasebo City Japan

WHEN EAST MEETS WEST
 
Commentary by Hank F. Miller Jr.
 
In Dutch, Huis Ten Bosch, means \”house in the woods.\” In Japan, it is a theme park with canals running through a spacious landscape surrounded by \"P2010228\" water and forest, with amusements, museums, shops of all kinds, restaurants, hotels and much more.
photo: Hank and his wife Keiko at Huis Ten Bosch

It was born in 1992 as a reproduction of a Dutch city of the Middle Ages. But why Holland, many people wonder. Over four centries ago, Nagasaki enjoyed with Holland, where over a third of the national land area was a tract of land reclaimed from the sea.

Instead of competing with nature, people there learned to coexist in harmony with it. Just as the Dutch did in their homeland.
We enjoyed a most wonderful visit. Nagasaki was the first port where foreign ships were allowed to come and stay . Many Christian priests came here from Europe and the American ship known as the Black Ship with Admiral Lord Perry was one of the first to arrive.
Many members of the U.S.Navy & Marine Corps who came to Japan for deployment or on various cruises will remember this facility. It is situated at the westernmost tip of mainland Japan,near Kujukushima Islands which are designated as a national aquatic park within the greater Saikai National Park area. It is said to be the most densely concentrated clustering of islands in Japan.

The many scenic delights presented by the dynamic shapes and deeply embayed shorelines with strange shapes.The chain of islands which there are about 208 islands in all extends 25 km from outside the port of Sasebo and across the ocean to Hirado Island Strait.

Note: Hank is a former resident of Gloucester City NJ who resides in Japan. He has been writing a column for CNB since 2007.

David Townsend First Ward Council Candidate Releases Campaign Slogan


I was asked to provide a campaign slogan for my campaign for Gloucester City Council, First Ward. The above phrase came to mind because no matter how one feels about how the city is progressing, we must always strive to do better and thus become greater.


A Greater Gloucester City is where people who want to move, live, raise a family and conduct business. It is a place where people want to invest their time, energy and money, and a place where people want to have grown up and yes, grow old.


A Greater Gloucester City provides optimal services so that the city looks its best, feels safe to its residents and welcoming to its visitors. This would encourage those looking to be homeowners to consider moving here.


A Greater Gloucester markets its location convenient to Philadelphia, the airport and all of the major highways and promotes the town’s rich history and developing waterfront, its reasonable and varied housing, successful schools, diverse neighborhoods, burgeoning restaurant scene and friendly, helpful and involved residents.


A Greater Gloucester City is business friendly, streamlines the process towards opening a business, is reasonable with regards to fees, etc. and while it encourages new enterprises it is not beholden to them. That is to say we want business to come here but not at the expense of our quality of life.


A Greater Gloucester City enforces the laws already on the books in a consistent and reasonable manner with a focus on the ordinances that affect the quality of life such as noise, property maintenance, unsupervised kids (of all ages) and public disturbances.


A Greater Gloucester City is proactive when it comes to how it cleans and maintains its properties so that when residents/businesses are cited for the same they have little argument. Our residents will rarely have to call and complain about such issues because the department heads are on top of it.


I’m Dave Townsend, Independent Candidate for the Gloucester City Council (Firstt Ward), and I am seeking your vote in the general election.
