Harris Browning Ross headlines the multimedia section of the site. \”The Father of Long Distance Running in America\” competed in the Olympics in 1948 and 1952, and popularized running in his native Woodbury.

Ross died in 1998, but the videos on Heath\’s Web site help to immortalize the local runner. They could also help to bring new interest in the sport.

In addition to Ross, such legends as Gerry Lindgren and former Olympian and Rowan track coach Oscar Moore can be seen.

By Samantha L. Quigley American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, March 25, 2008 – In 1967, Robert Hutchinson was a young soldier serving in the jungles of Vietnam. He was concerned that the men in his unit weren\’t getting enough mail from home. Members of 4th Platoon, Company A, 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, pose for a photo while serving in Vietnam. They were part of the unit adopted by San Mateo, Calif., in 1968. Courtesy photo (Click photo for screen-resolution image);high-resolution image available. Sgt. Joe Artavia\’s letter home to his sister, Linda Patterson, asking her to find a city to adopt his unit made a huge difference to Hutchinson and his comrades, Hutchinson said. \”The adoption of our company by the city of San Mateo (Calif.) and your personal dedication to our unit is a matter of great pride to me as well as to many of my brothers-in-arms,\” Hutchinson wrote in a recent letter to Patterson. Though Artavia was killed March 24, 1968, he did learn that his request had been fulfilled. After a March 17 American Forces Press Service story highlighted both the city and Patterson\’s 40-plus years of troop support, others are following Hutchinson\’s lead and are contacting Patterson. Though she is hearing from veterans, she\’s also hearing from current servicemembers regarding her organization, \”America Supporting Americans,\” which works to have communities across the country adopt military units. \”We are hearing (of) a lot of units registering with (America Supporting Americans). Even Navy Seabees have contacted us,\” Patterson said. \”Hopefully some cities will start trickling in soon.\” Patterson also said she\’s excited about other opportunities to share the history of San Mateo\’s relationship with Company A, 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. Currently, a display at the San Mateo Public Library conveys the story. \”There is talk about circulating a moving wall of this history across the country hopefully to inspire others to join (America Supporting Americans\’) Adopt a Unit program,\” she said. In addition, Patterson said she hopes to take a small contingent of representatives from her organization to visit adopted units in Iraq. The trip would be similar to the then-unprecedented trip she made to Vietnam nearly four decades ago. America Supporting Americans is also a supporter of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and companies with servicemembers and their families serving at home and abroad.

Ramos-Dominko went the distance and fanned 12 on Thursday.

Box Score

Ewing, NJ – Ranked sixth in Division III, The College of New Jersey’s baseball team opened action in the New Jersey Athletic Conference on Thursday, hosting the Scarlet Raptors of Rutgers University-Camden. TCNJ would open conference play with a 5-1 home win. TCNJ improves to 12-2 overall and 1-0 in the league, while RUC drops to 6-10 overall with an 0-1 mark in the league. The Lions open the NJAC as the league’s three-time defending champions.

TCNJ’s right handed junior pitcher Dan Ramos-Dominko (Hampton, NJ/North Hunterdon) fanned a career-high 12 batters in posting his second win of the year. Ramos-Dominko fanned six batters the last time he took the mound in Arizona and now has 23 strikeouts on the season after Thursday’s outing. He worked a complete game, yielding just one earned run off four hits with a pair of walks to improve to 2-0.

TCNJ jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning after junior second baseman Adam Tussey (Brooklawn, NJ/Gloucester High School) was hit by a pitch and junior short stop Jeff Toth (Parlin, NJ/Sayreville) tripled and put the Lions on the scoreboard. TCNJ’s junior Vince Mazzaccaro (Gloucester City, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) came up with a RBI single before senior catcher Rich Gawlak (Plainsboro, NJ/West Windsor-Plainsboro South) added the final RBI of the inning, all coming off RUC’s senior Andrew Lihotz (Philadelphia, PA/Northeast).

RUC pulled within two runs, down 3-1 after sophomore Steve Myers (Millville, NJ/Millville) broke up Ramos-Dominko’s shutout bid in the top of the second with an RBI single.

Lihotz worked eight innings for RUC and drops to 1-2 after allowing five earned runs off seven hits with a walk and two strikeouts.

TCNJ returns to action on March 28 for a 3:30 p.m. road contest at Rowan University, while Rutgers-Camden hosts Montclair State University on March 29 in a noon doubleheader.

Allentown, PA… The College of New Jersey softball team collected a doubleheader sweep at Muhlenberg College on Wednesday winning the opening game 2-1 in eight innings and then claimed the nightcap 12-1 in five innings.

The pair of wins put the Lions at 10-6 on the season, while the Mules fell to 3-11.

TCNJ will be right back on the field on Thursday heading to Moravian College for another non-conference doubleheader.

TCNJ 2, Muhlenberg 1 (8 innings)
Sophomore pitcher Ashley Minervini (Cliffside Park, NJ/Cliffside) picked up her sixth win of the season tossing a complete game allowing only an unearned run on four hits with five strikeouts.

The Lions plated a pair of unearned runs in the game with sophomore Ellen Seavers (Ridgewood, NJ/Ridgewood) crossing the plate in the top of the first and freshman Kathy Sikora (Marlton, NJ/Cherokee) in the top of the eighth with the winning run.

TCNJ 12, Muhlenberg 1 (5 innings)
The Lions once again allowed only one run, but this time received plenty of offensive support thanks mostly to a nine-run third inning.

Senior Christina Lizzi (Wyckoff, NJ/Ramapo) had the big hit in the inning bringing home three runs with a base-clearing double. Sikora also provided a spark plating a pair of runs with a base hit.

Lizzi finished the game going 3-for-4 with four runs batted in, while Sikora was 2-for-3 with three RBI.

Freshman Alex Sietsma (Glen Rock, NJ/Glen Rock) earned the win on the mound for the Lions yielding an unearned run on four hits. She also struck out six for her second win of the season. Adding to TCNJ’s offense were Rachel Greeby (Yardley, PA/Pennsbury), Danielle Hagel (Egg Harbor City, NJ/Oakcrest) and Colleen Cawley (Riverton, NJ/Holy Cross) as each player picked up two hits.

People came as far as Fairmount for the Party For Peace. It is very encouraging for a 6-month-old fledgling radio station. Martini Lounge brought back the Pop Standards the Philadelphia radio landscape had been lacking.

\”This station is a godsend,\” said Mike Bowe, host of Martini Lounge\’s Happy Hour. \”It\’s not just for older people. Young people have been listening. The music is nothing like what\’s out there. There is something different about this music.\”

Both Craig and Bowe have been part of the Philly radio scene for more than 30 years. Both were last heard on WPEN 950 AM until that station changed formats a few years ago.

\”I feel a little like David taking on Goliath,\” said Bowe. \”But it\’s a fun time. I like coming to work in Manayunk.\”

Martini Lounge, locally owned, operates just off Cresson St. in Manayunk. The station\’s reputation is growing. read more

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP – Erin Brockovich’s passion for championing the underdog and the environment were front and center Tuesday night when she packed the Stockton Performing Arts Center.

Brockovich, the guest speaker as part of Stockton’s lecture series, was the subject of the 2000 movie \”Erin Brockovich,\” which chronicled her dogged pursuit of the Pacific Gas & Electric Company.

She said the movie will stand the test of time, and that even 100 years from now when someone sits down to watch it, they will still get it. They will understand the message that determination and getting involved allows each of us to help create change.
