Starting pitcher Joe Gutowski pitched a brilliant complete-game four-hitter, left fielder Dan Hornyak smacked a grand slam in the fifth, and Bordentown won its opener over Haddon Heights Post 149, 8-1.

\”It was a huge performance against a powerhouse-hitting team like that,\” manager Tom Dolan said of his pitcher’s outing. \”Joe was lights out, and he’s very capable of doing that. He stayed on top early, got in pitcher’s counts, and just dominated.\”

Gutowski allowed just one run and no walks while striking out 12, routinely blowing his fastball by the Haddon Heights hitters. He also went 3-for-5 at the plate out of the third spot in the order.

\”After the first couple innings I felt like my velocity was really there and they couldn’t catch up,\” Gutowski said. \”Then with my off-speed, I was hitting corners and making it break really tight, and they were biting on it.\”

The Burlington County Community College pitcher said a much-needed break helped his velocity return to its usual form.

Good afternoon —

When the clock strikes midnight on New Year\’s Eve, taxes are scheduled to go up for 114 million middle-class families, leaving a typical family of four paying an extra $2,200 in 2013. Preventing this from happening is critical — not just for individual people but for our overall economic recovery — and nearly everyone in Washington agrees we need to do something about it.

Trenton— Senate Labor Committee member Dawn Marie Addiego (R- Burlington/Camden/Atlantic) issued the following statement praising the committee\’s advancement of SCR-110, legislation reversing the Supreme Court\’s decision on judicial benefit cost sharing:

The state\’s pension funds are in serious financial trouble, and the burden of making them solvent should not fall exclusively upon the taxpayers of New Jersey. Judges should share in the sacrifice needed to save their retirement system just like every other public employee. The Judicial Retirement System is the most generous in state government and cannot be sustained at current levels without asking more of those who stand to benefit from it.

(CNSNews.com) – A study conducted by health care consulting firm Deloitte and the University of Chicago found that 59 percent of employers think the ObamaCare health reform law is a \”step in the wrong direction.\”

The survey, published on Tuesday, asked 560 businesses of varying sizes their opinions and planned reactions to the impending implementation of the health reform law, the Affordable Care Act.

Yesterday, the Senate narrowly voted (51-48) to raise taxes on 1.2 million small businesses, which will likely kill more than 700,000 jobs at a time when nearly 13 million Americans are out of work. Senators Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Jim Webb (D-VA) joined all Republicans in bipartisan opposition to the tax hike.

This is President Obama’s economic plan. This is what he asked Congress to do. And he recently told a fundraising crowd that his economic plan has been working.

\”Just like we’ve tried [Republicans\’] plan, we tried our plan—and it worked,\” he said.

But Obama’s Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, said yesterday that \”the economy is not growing fast enough,\” acknowledging that \”unemployment is very high.\” \”The institutions with authority should be doing everything they can to try to make economic growth stronger,\” he said.

The President’s plan, now endorsed by the Democratic majority in the Senate, has little chance of going anywhere in the House of Representatives. But it has put the 51 Senators who want to raise taxes on record.

Perhaps the biggest lie in the tax debate is that this vote affects only \”the rich.\” That’s simply not true. Many small businesses, known as flow-through businesses, pay their taxes through the individual income tax. Ernst and Young estimates that these types of businesses \”employ 54% of the private sector work force.\” This tax hike squarely hits 1.2 million of these businesses that hire workers and have incomes above $200,000.

First it was cat colonies, now tent vagrants? What next? I’m not surprised to hear about this. We are constantly seeing the influx of hundreds of people coming to sports/events over the course of a year at the Recreation Center, including some from out of state. 

Since there is no one controlling this, there is no control over who is coming into our neighborhoods. No one knows what these people are looking at, and, perhaps seeking to steal, as they are walking past our houses.

It is bad enough that we live so close to a major highway that provides easy entrance to and exit from our streets, but we do not have to have continual events that attract strangers, perhaps criminals, to our area. 

Unfortunately, we also have a small number of our own residents vandalizing properties and churches. Our police are stretched to the limit. There needs to be a reduction in the big events in this town. I realize someone is making some money on this, but enough is enough.
