We all appreciated the toys and clothing for our families and with all a Very Happy New Year. Some of us will be returning to our homes on Atlantic Street that were damaged by the fire, and we are grateful for that.

There can be no better feeling in public service than saving a life, or in this case, bringing a new life into the world. On November 10, Camden County Dispatcher Peter Krygiel of Bellmawr received what will most likely remain the most memorable 911 call of his career – an anxious father-to-be who was calling for help for his fiancée, who was about to give birth at any moment, and there was no way they could wait for an ambulance.
Despite having only six months experience on the job as a dispatcher, 22-year-old Krygiel calmly and professionally helped the young couple deliver their baby daughter in what turned out to be an action-packed, 11-minute phone call.
\”Every day of every year, the 911 call center receives about 1,200 calls, and each call can be

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 40% of Adults favor a 10% pay cut for all state employees to help reduce state spending. Forty-one percent (41%), however, oppose an across-the-board pay cut like this. Nineteen percent (19%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Perhaps not surprisingly, while 60% of entrepreneurs and a plurality (45%) of private company workers favor a 10% pay cut for public employees, 75% of those employed by the government do not.
Many states are also looking for ways to reduce large pension benefits promised to public employees as another way to help reduce their deficits. Only 26% of Americans are willing to pay higher taxes to ensure that all pension benefits promised to public employees are paid. Forty-three percent (43%) would rather reduce the benefits. Thirty percent (30%) are undecided.
That grand vision was painted by Charles Gallub, the principal of Develcom of Bellmawr, N.J., for the Norristown council and the general public three years ago when the proposal included five, 50-foot-high soundstages on the third level of the former Sears building and production space, set-making shops and a film school for college and high school students for the first and second levels of the former department store. In December 2007, proposed financing included subsidizing the renovations with $8,085,737 from a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) proposal. Emerson Resources was going to move into the renovated building.
In February 2009, the plan had changed again. The proposed 160,000-square-foot movie production studio had been scaled back to two, 24,800-square-foot studio buildings — a 72-percent reduction in space.
A proposed four-story, 100- to 150-room hotel was eliminated from the construction plans. A supermarket space was added to the plans along with 15,000 square feet of new retail space for the former Logan Square Shopping Center. A Checkers fast-food restaurant was proposed for the Markley Street side of the 24.5-acre parcel.
I wanted to thank you and your staff for all you do representing our District.
I wanted to pass on the following suggestions which deal with the biggest problem facing our district and our nation—job creation in response to your letter yesterday here are my suggestions:
Support the new Green Acres/Recycling Water Front project in Bellmawr by putting in a solar farm (planned) to use the green energy to power buildings on the 125+ acre site which support recreational activities—scarce in South Jersey like running and kayaking. Put a Cracker Barrel Restaurant in the Center and possibly even partner with Rowan University to pilot the manufacturing of solar/green energy equipment and products in the Center.

The City of Gloucester has determined that Water and Sewer Rates must be increased for
supplying portable water, as well as maintaining the conveyance of its wastewater. Based on data supplied by our utility department and the accounting firm of Bowman and Associates, water cost increases for the average consumer will be $7.00 per quarter. This amount means a customer usually paying $45.00 per quarter for 10,000 gallon shall now pay $52.00.
In the case of wastewater, the average consumer will see a quarterly increase of $8.00 per quarter. This amount means a customer paying $49.00 per quarter for wastewater disposal shall now pay $57.00.
Along with these utility payments increases the city must pass on a cost to its consumers for the operation and maintenance of our storm water system and combined sewer overflow systems.
These two new charges are a result of Federal and State mandated proper treatment and disposal. The additional cost shall be added to your quarterly sewer bill at a rate of $12.00 quarterly. Along with these fees an average bill will be $69.00 a quarter.
The city has constantly maintained and improved its infastructure without any increase in water and wastewater fees since 2008.
The minimum bill overall will go from $94.00 to $121.00. An overall increase of $27.00 per

The loss of units means Camden has relied more on mutual aid service from volunteer departments outside the city. The only other all-career staffed department nearby is Gloucester City, which laid off firefighters of its own last year.
On Monday, city spokesman Robert Corrales said negotiations between the city and unions representing its workers remained unchanged.
The extension is meant to keep as many firefighters for as long as possible, officials said, as the city waits on the status of a federal grant meant to offset some firefighter salaries.
Three fire stations in Trenton are in danger of closing as a result of the layoffs. Only one municipality in New Jersey was awarded a SAFER grant through FEMA in 2010.

The mayor’s wife and daughter were thanked also for allowing him to spend many hours for the sake of running the community.
\”Brooklawn is run like a business. I feel that the reason for our success is due to all who work here. \”If there was money here, we could do a lot more than what has been already accomplished,\” Mayor Soubasis said.
\”I am excited to start another chapter in my life. Borough council business and the town was my hobby. Among other memories I will remember how Tim Higgins (Borough Solicitor) used to send me funny notes during the meeting to make me laugh,\” he said.
\”Each town has its’ own personality. Yours has merged with the town,\” Higgins said.
Borough Clerk Barbara Lewis reminded the mayor that he used to ask about when his picture

Gossip, entertainment, lifestyle outlets join mainstream media smearing rights.
by Matt Philbin & Erin R. Brown, Culture and Media Institute
It was no less depressing for being predictable. News of the horrendous Jan. 8 shooting of Democratic Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 17 others had just broken when some on the left were exploiting it to malign conservatives.
Yet the left has blamed the \”vitriolic\” rhetoric of conservatives and the Tea Parties as inciting violence. The mainstream media has enabled and even joined liberals in tarring the right with inciting political violence, right down to the gossip, entertainment and \”lifestyle\” outlets.
Whether it’s \”TMZ\” polling readers with a leading questionnaire, \”The
