CNBNEWS | FEBRUARY 2012 CHEERS AND JEERS

BY BILL CLEARY

(cnbnews.net) JEER-A study by NJ State Comptroller Matthew Boxer discovered that some municipalities $\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef0105369fbfbd970c-320wi\"$ are overpaying for employees health insurance. Boxer’s report found that insurance brokers working for Essex and three other local governments — the townships of Brick, East Brunswick and Haddon Township — charged $1 million in fees between 2009 and 2010. The state health plan doesn’t levy those fees and charges less because it has more people in its system, the report said.

One of the insurance companies that have benefited is Conner Strong which is run by South Jersey Political Boss George Norcross III.

JEER-Imagine if Ron Paul announced a national campaign called ‘Whites for Ron Paul’ – he’d be vilified as a racist. Yet Barack Obama has done the equivalent of precisely that with his launch of ‘African Americans for Obama’. Obama is urging black people to pressure churches into supporting his administration by getting his message out via \”the faith community.\” He also calls on black voters to become \”congregation captains\”. What happened to his campaign promise to unite our country be they black or white. Not only is Obama playing the race card in an attempt to pressure black Americans into voting for him, he is also violating the separation between church and state.

CHEER-Pam Jenkinson, who has been a volunteer for many civic organizations in Brooklawn, was the recipient of a Community Award given to Outstanding Residents that contribute to the good of the community. \”If you want to live in a great place, come here to Brooklawn\” Jenkinson said.

GLOUCESTER CITY — If Saturday was an indication of things to come, the Camden High School football program should be in pretty good shape.

With a lineup riddled with freshmen and sophomores playing prominent roles, and just three seniors on the team, the Panthers put on an impressive showing as they rallied in the second half to post their first win, 24-13 over winless Gloucester Catholic in a West Jersey League Independence Division contest.

CHEER-The Haddon Township Branch of the Camden County Library system celebrated $\"Images-12\"$ its50th Anniversary in September. Established in 1921, Camden County Library System has locations in Bellmawr, Camden, Gloucester Township, Haddon Township, Merchantville, Winslow Township and Voorhees.

CHEER-Freedom Pier, King Street and the Delaware River officially opened on September 17. The original estimate to reconstruct the former Coast Guard pier was $3.8 million. But by using some innovative ideas the cost was reduced to $1 million. Another $570,000 was spent to build the 1200 foot promenade. Let\’s give credit to the James Administration for saving so much money on the reconstruction of the pier. An although others have given up on this concept long ago, the mayor and his council continue to work on making the dream come true.

HOLT MAKES FINAL UDAG PAYMENT~cnbnews.net

CNBNEWS.NET-This week Holt Logistics, a shipping company located in Gloucester City NJ made its final payment on the UDAG monies it borrowed in the 1980‘s. The funds, issued by $\"S_leoholt\"$ HUD, were used to construct the Gloucester Marine Terminal, King and Essex Streets.

Leo Holt, (photo) president of the company, released the following statement explaining the program.

\”The UDAG or Urban Development Action Grant Program was created nationally and administered by the US Housing and Urban Development Agency. It is a program that has delivered many billions of dollars in community investment. In the case of the Gloucester Marine Terminal the grant has been a ringing success for Gloucester City and for the the many men and women who have worked there for the last 45 years.

$\"Main$ \”In January of 1984 Tom Holt\’s companies borrowed $3.6 Million through the program and in August of that same year a further $2 Million. The way the program worked is that the US HUD granted funds to a community that qualified then that community loaned the money at commercial rates to a developer.

\”In the course of the life of the loan Gloucester City worked cooperatively with the developer many times, through periods of growth and through tough times in the economy. Today\’s final payment represents a the end of a program that garnered nearly $6 Million in grant and interest payments of almost $7 million. The UDAG program provides a fund for the community to use to invest in small business and growth opportunities.\”

April 2011 CHEERS AND JEERS

BY BILL CLEARY

(CNBNEWS.NET)

JEER-Gloucester City News.. October 8, 2009….in the Jeer Section I read the $\"Images-12\"$ following…quote: It was reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer that Camden City and Gloucester City are the only two communities in Camden County that still mix storm water and sewage in one large pipe. If the system overflows when it rains, it floods sewage everywhere. 19 months later nothing has changed. Every time we have a heavy rain…the street begins to flood as Gloucester City Water Department has told me that they close the flood gates in order to let the water into the river at a slow pace. Well, the water that floods the street and fills that large pipe with storm water and sewage…backs up into the sewer line and out on to my basement floor. I have repeatedly had to clean up this raw sewage from my cellar floor with bleach water! Will Gloucester City ever be required to do what the other 35 communities in Camden County have done and fix this quandary? I am so sick of cleaning up other residents’ raw sewage….signed Anonymous

CHEER- May 5th, I lost my cell phone ! I went to the last place I was that morning and checked the WaWa parking lot, but no luck. I went inside and some good person had turned it in to one of the workers, I deeply appreciate that someone turned it in. Many thanks to you and to the people at the Bellmawr WaWa on Browning Road for taking care of it, Thanks so much !! John from Bellmawr.

CHEER- To the young man who saw me struggle to put my recycle bin on the curb and hurried to carry it for me. And we are in the BAD part of Gloucester City!
