Back in October of 2011, the Obama administration had to pull the plug on the CLASS act — the health care law\’s provision to provide for long-term insurance for assisted living. The CLASS Act had collapsed under its own weight and sheer unworkability. Since it would be impossible to show that CLASS would be both affordable and fiscally solvent for the next 75 years, it was abandoned.

This morning\’s Daily News published a story on famous steak-maven Tony Luke\’s 100 pound weight-loss over the last year, including an amazing 40 pounds lost in 6 weeks! Tony did this under doctor\’s supervision… and while the article mentions \”South Jersey Doctor, Matthew Pinto\”, it doesn\’t mention that Dr Pinto\’s main office is located right here in Bellmawr at Glendale Primary Care. The office is located in the former Super Fresh Center, located in the same building as Retro Fitness and the Stardust Ballroom.

Article at the Philly.Com
Dr Pinto\’s office: 

Also, I noticed that the Pennant East is officially up for sale. The asking price is $499,000, which includes the property and building… but not the alcohol license. I have no word on if the license is available as a separate purchase.

Attorney General Kelly urges consumers to 

HARRISBURG – Attorney General Linda Kelly today urged consumers to shop carefully for gym and health club memberships and to fully understand their rights regarding membership contracts.

\”The start of a new year often inspires consumers to shop for health clubs as they explore ways to improve their general fitness,\” Kelly said. \”Joining a gym can be a positive experience, but it is important for consumers to fully understand their rights and carefully evaluate contracts before they make an expensive long-term commitment.\”

Kelly explained that consumers have specific rights and protections under the Pennsylvania Health Club Act.

Mayor William James and City Council members expressed their appreciation to the City employees, department heads and volunteers, who all worked together for the good of the city, during last week’s Reorganization meeting.

The meeting was opened with an invocation by Deacon Frank Crosson of St. Mary’s Church.

\”We appreciate the honor to open this meeting,\” he said after stating that Monsignor Curran was in Ireland.

Crosson asked for blessings on the Council during the coming year, which he thought might be a very stressful year due mostly due to the present economy.

The mayor said the deacon is also a retired police officer, and works for the Attorney General’s office.

There were no new members to be sworn in this year and the meeting proceeded with resolutions and a list of appointments. No one in the sparse audience addressed council in the Open Forum portion.

Most of the appointments remained the same, such as: John B. Kearney as City Solicitor, Edward Vernick as City Engineer, Paul Dougherty as Prosecutor, Charles Wigginton as Public Defender and Environmental Resolutions, Inc. as City Planner.

Also appointed were: Brett Wiltsey, Dilworth Paxson, LLP, as Counsel to the Tax Office; Christine O’Hearn as Labor Secretary; T&M Associates & Consulting Engineers as Special Projects Engineers; RT Environmental Services, Inc. as Environmental Engineer; and Parker Mc-Cay, P.A. as Bond Counsel.

Jack Lipsett was appointed as City Administrator, and Bob Booth and William Labbree were appointed as directors of the Enterprise Zone Corporation for the City.

The Gloucester City News and the Courier-Post were designated as the official newspapers.

There were a total of 38 resolutions and appointments that were all approved by City Council.

Louisa Llewellyn was appointed as an Alternate #2 member on the Gloucester City Historic Commission, with a term expiring in December 2012. There is still one vacant seat on the Commission.

Members of the Planning Board include: Jack Murphy, Adrianne Parent, Nicholas Marchese, Elana King and Steve Martorano.

Joanne Gurick and Barbara Moody were named to the Library Board of Trustees.

The text of Mayor James’ 2012 address starts on the front page of this edition.

In it he said: \”Gloucester City is not alone in these difficult economic times and your elected officials are not sitting back and feeling sorry for themselves or crying to the state for bailouts. Instead we are remaining positive.\”
