press release

At the St. Peter’s Church Senior Ministry in Merchantville, the group of 20 begin the day reciting prayers next to a portrait of Pope John Paul II.

It is not the profile of the 50ish young pope, standing and basking in the adulation of a huge throng. It is, instead, the pope struggling in old age in a public way, contributing to the image that later won him the accolade of \”Saint.\” He is an octogenerian, face bloated by medications, his eyes sunken into his face, offering a weary gesture from a waving hand. It is a visual reminder that wisdom and holiness is frequently nurtured toward the end of a long life.

Dear Editor:

Several times each week I work with my local food pantry to help distribute food to those who can’t afford to put dinner on the table. I see single mothers, working families and the elderly struggling and I can’t help but question how we can make sure that everyone has access to affordable, nutritious food.

WOODBURY NJ March 20, 2015–Andrew Kramer (DOB 7/27/90), of Deptford NJ was sentenced today (3/20) to 10 years in New Jersey state prison for his admitted home invasion armed robbery of a 69 year-old Mantua Township NJ woman who told the sentencing judge \”when you have a gun pointed at you… it has an effect on you that just doesn’t leave.’

After Kramer tied her up, took her bank card and forced her to provide a PIN number, he said \”\”if it’s not right, I’ll come back to kill you,\” the woman told Superior Court Judge Kevin T. Smith.

Permeable pavement products can be used together with other green infrastructure.

When it rains, or as snow and ice melt, I frequently notice streams of water running off of my lawn, onto the street, into the storm sewer, and ultimately to a local waterway. I’ve also noticed an increase in flooded roadways and neighborhoods in my area even after a moderate to heavy rain. Unfortunately, stormwater is not just a localized issue, it is a problem across the country. As the saying goes: when it rains, it pours.

Flooding results in economic costs, human health impacts, and environmental damage in its wake. A major factor in more frequent flooding events is the increasing cover of impervious surfaces, such as roadways, parking lots and rooftops. Since these hard surfaces do not allow stormwater to naturally seep into the ground, most rainfall turns into runoff. With continuing development and growth, what options are available to minimize the effects of impervious surfaces? A more sustainable solution is to replace or substitute conventional pavements with permeable pavements – a green infrastructure tool.
