CHEERS: To the men from Highland Park Church of God, and Bill Wilson and his workers from Property Pro’s, for helping out when Kyle Warner was injured by a chainsaw. Special thanks to Doug and Don Conner, who stayed with Kyle until the paramedics arrived. It has been a long time since I have seen men who were working on a job stop what they were doing, and take the time to remove the tree, clean up the yard and everything that had fallen, and ask nothing in return. Just caring, common courtesy.

JEERS: To the Gloucester City Fire Chief and the Chief of Operations for not providing the public or CNB with statistics on fire and ambulance responses at the minimum of once a month to see where our tax dollars are being spent. Real stats not the ones you hand into council.

CHEER-To Gloucester City High School softball team who beat Pitman High winning the NJSIAA
South Jersey Group I final. The Lions were relentless, scoring runs in every frame and taking home the title in five innings, 10-0.

JEER-Recently it was reported that someone stole 100 political campaign signs in Gloucester City valued at $900. The person or persons responsible who committed this crime are depriving candidates their rights to Freedom of Speech guaranteed to all of us in the First amendment of the constitution. How dare them; I hope they are caught and severely punished.

CHEER-To the Market Street WaWa and its management for the fine work done to the expansion of their parking lot.

CHEER-To all the Crossing Guards throughout the area who stand in the cold, snow, sleet and rain on a daily basis to make sure our children get to school safely every day.

JEER—What can be done to those employees of the Central Jersey Waste and Recycling Co., who leave broken glass and trash in the street instead of picking it up? Doesn’t the contract $\"Imgres\"$ they have with the City of Gloucester include picking up trash and bottles that fall out of a trash bag? If it doesn’t it should. Please gentlemen the citizens of Gloucester would appreciate you taking the extra few minutes to pick up that broken glass, trash papers etc. We pay you to take the trash out of our city not leave it laying in the streets of our neighborhoods.

CHEER—In September 2014, Army Reservist Sgt. Justin Rebura (below with Thermoseal officials) was nearing the end of his nine-month deployment to Afghanistan with the 808th Engineer Company when he discovered that his position at his Houston, Texas employer had been filled in his absence. Rebura began remotely exploring his employment options with the support of the Forward Operating Base’s USO. The Sergeant was connected with Thermoseal Industries LLC, a Gloucester City, NJ manufacturing company. As a result, Thermoseal offered Rebura a management position, paid his relocation expenses and helped ease his transition by subsidizing a rental apartment while the Reservist arranged to move his family to New Jersey. Thermoseal received the \”Above and Beyond Award\” in recognition of extraordinary support of their employees who serve in the Guard.

CHEER-In true Gloucester City spirit 116 pints of blood were donated in all at the Evan Goldglantz blood drive sponsored by the Gloucester City Board of Health and the American Red Cross this month. Thank you to all those that participated.

JEER- I witnessed another car make a left hand turn from Market Street into traffic on Route #130 south. This is the third time this year that I have seen this happen. The NO LEFT turn has to be more clearly marked. Bigger signs or flashing lights might help. Two times they were entering the motel parking lot. Maybe someone will have to die, before something is done, hope not. ~John Hindsley

CHEER:Joe Matter, of Gloucester City, was honored recently in Field and Stream magazine as a $\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef01b8d0a00611970c-320wi\"$ Hero of Conservation. The article reads in part, Joe has spent his life with a shotgun in hand, bird hunting in NJ. Over the years, Matter started to see a decline in local bobwhite quail, and in 2007, he formed the NJ Quail project to help increase the populations. The group has successfully rehabilitated over 1000 acres of area farmland in one year, and they hope to implement a quail stocking program in the near future.

JEER: After raising the bridge tolls in September 2008 from $3 to $4, the
Delaware River Port Authority promised they would desist from funding capital improvements. Four months later… January 23, the board voted in favor of contributing $5 million to the City of Camden for three projects in that community. At the same meeting they gave $6 million to the City of Philadelphia; $2.5 million to build a restaurant at Franklin Square and $3.5 million to build an exhibit at the President’s House.

CHEER-To Emily Erlink. Her 12th birthday was December 10th. At her request, her guests $\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef01b8d0a00611970c-320wi\"$ brought a bag of groceries instead of a gift to her party. She then took the bags of groceries to the food bank in Gloucester City. Way to go Emily!

JEER–To those public officials responsible for moving the Camden City Methadone Clinic to a new location near the border of Camden City and Gloucester City. \”They are creating a cast system by forcing the drug addicts on us\”, writes William H. John. \”The clinic should remain next to Cooper Hospital.\”

Out of all the articles I write the one that receives the most comments are the Cheers and $\"Archives1\"$ Jeers. Below you will find a mix assortment of those columns by month for the past year. Thank you to everyone who took the time to send in a remark.

JANUARY & FEBRUARY

JEERS-To the representative of the City of Gloucester City and the representative of Police Chiefs for not releasing a public statement explaining the turmoil in our Police Department. Is the public\’s safety in jeopardy because of the split between the rank and file and the administration? The Chief\’s (Bill Crothers and Mike Kaye) remain silent, choosing instead to have surrogates write Letters to the Editor/post comments containing cheap jabs. The PBA union president released a statement about the problem but yet our elected leaders and department heads remain silent. The public deserves answers.
