Senator Menendez Visits Victus Sports in Gloucester Township | cnbnews.net

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. – As part of his tour of small businesses in Southern New Jersey today, U.S. Senator Robert Menendez met with the top management of Victus Sports, a manufacturer of custom, professional-grade baseball bats based in Gloucester Township, New Jersey. The unique, New Jersey small business gained recent notoriety for creating special baseball bats at the request of major league ballplayers to help victims of the Boston Marathon bombing and the tragic fire in West, Texas.

\”In such a short time, you’ve become part of America’s pastime. Making bats for over 100 professional baseball players in the major and minor leagues like Adam Jones of the Orioles and Mark Teixiera of the Yankees is more than a business. It’s got to be fun,\” said Senator Menendez, who noted the company is on track to manufacture 20,000 bats this year. \”I know you will be attracting a loyal following with every team in the country. I guess the lesson is you can have fun in business and give something back to the community and the nation – all at the same time.\”

Flavio Casoy vividly remembers one of his scariest moments as an intern: On duty at a San Francisco hospital for nearly 29 hours, he was at the bedside of a very sick patient when the man\’s oxygen level began to plummet. Casoy stared, transfixed, at the monitor. \”I knew something was wrong, but I couldn\’t make myself think,\” he recalled. Only after \”a colleague walked into the room, pushed me on the shoulder and said, \’Get going\’ \” did the exhausted doctor spring into action.

Editor’s note: The New Jersey Pest Management Association (NJPMA) released the following consumer warning about the use of do-it-yourself pest control products

In June, a Woodbury, N.J., homeowner managed to set his house on fire in the course of a do-it-yourself pest control effort to rid it of bed bugs. He was reportedly using a space heater, a hair dryer, and a heat gun in order to kill bed bugs in a room on the second floor.

\”He went online, got some instructions,\” said a neighbor, referring to one method pest management professionals (PMPs) use to rid a room of bed bugs by raising the heat to a point that kills them. PMPs, however, are extensively trained

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE BROOKLAWN DINER? DOES ANYONE KNOW?

Dear CNBNews

There has been a lot of rumor and chat about the Brooklawn Diner since it closed down. Who

$\"DSCF0903\"$

The Brooklawn Diner handicap ramp

owns it now? What if anything will take its place? Will it reopen as an eating establishment? What will happen to the property now?

Well I can tell you what ISN’T happening with the property. It is not being maintained and kept up very well if at all. While the building itself shows signs of disrepair the grounds surrounding the property are a neglected and unattended to. Weeds and vegetation growth along fence lines, light fixture mounts and parking islands is out of control.

This property is clearly not being maintained up to Brooklawn Borough standards not to mention it’s a nuisance to neighboring homes who work hard to maintain their property. The fence around the property is falling apart and at one part people now use it as a cut through for their vehicles to avoid going around the Brooklawn Circle.

$\"DSCF0901\"$

The Brooklawn Diner parking lot

Internet research that I could find showed that the property was purchased by a law firm, Riker and Danzig of Morristown NJ. Morristown NJ is a few hours drive north of this property and I cannot help but wonder if they are even aware of this problem?

Aside from the fact that this property has gone from being a South Jersey landmark to rapidly becoming a neighborhood \”eyesore\” it says nothing of the mosquito problem in this growing jungle that was once a parking lot.

It has been quite a while since the diner closed and Brooklawn residents have watched and waited to see what was going to become of the place.

What we have seen becoming of the place is not acceptable and should be remedied as soon as possible.

Earl Foster

EDITOR\’S NOTE: We contacted the owners of the property, Riker and Danzig, and asked if they would share their plans for the diner with the public. We are still waiting for their response.
