Alleged Grandmother Killer Formally Charged, Deadly Smack, City Fire Chiefs Receive Raise, Bellmawr Road Improvements, Et Cetera

BROOKLAWN WOMAN FORMALLY CHARGED WITH MURDER--A Gloucester \"6a00d8341bf7d953ef0176176315f9970c-800wi\" County grand jury last week formally charged Anne Castagna, 44, of Brooklawn with the alleged murder of her grandmother-in-law Mary Groatman, age 88, with antifreeze. The victim, also of Brooklawn, died on August 19, 2012 after being on life support for four days.

Castagna has been in custody since she was arrested on August 23, 2012. She is charged with two counts of murder and one count of aggravated-assault. Castagna helped care for Groatman, who is the grandmother of her husband, Andrew Castagna. Neighbors say Groatman lived for years in an upstairs bedroom at their home, until she recently fell and was taken to a rehabilitation center in Deptford, Gloucester County. That is where investigators say she was given the antifreeze.

A Deaf Whale Is a Dead Whale | cnbnews.net

\"AA Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), a member of order Cetacea (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 

release date May 2, 2013

  

 

In the ocean you find a symphony of sound, from the clicking of snapping shrimp to the long mournful wails of whales, and zips of dolphins. Now imagine this oceanic soundscape shattered by dynamite-like blasts, every 10 seconds for days and evenweeks on end. Blasts so loud they can literally deafen marine mammals that need to listen to live, possibly injuring or killing these animals by the tens of thousands.

 

This grisly scenario may soon become a reality in an area of the Atlantic Ocean twice the size of California, where the Department of the Interior is currently reviewing a proposal to test the seafloor with seismic airguns, all in the speculative pursuit of more offshore oil and gas.

A Successful Turkey Hunt | cnbnews.net

Dr. Jim Doster, pastor of the Lighthouse Baptist Church, Gloucester City, was one of the \"2013 lucky turkey hunters to bag a bird on the opening day of NJ\’s spring turkey season. Asked about his hunting experience Pastor Doster said, 

 \”One of the time honored traditions of the American heritage is that of hunting for the wild game of our great forests and fields. The Second Amendment to our Constitution guarantees the citizens of America the freedom to possess AND CARRY guns for hunting and for protection.

\”Monday, April 22 was opening day of Spring Gobbler season in New Jersey and many New Jersey men and women rose up early in the morning to exercise pursue the elusive wild turkey. The Lord blessed me at around 8:00 am with a fine young bird which we dressed and smoked with apple-wood chips. We will enjoy at least 6 or 7 wonderful meals from this bounty from God.\”
