The Gloucester Township Police Department acknowledges National Teen Driver Safety Week.

From national safety council:

GDL is a novice driver licensing system that is proven effective at reducing teen drivers\’ high crash risk by 20-40%. States with stronger, comprehensive GDL systems see a higher reduction in teen crashes. GDL reduces teen driver exposure to high crash risk situations, such as nighttime driving and teen passengers. This allows new drivers to build experience and skills in lower-risk conditions.

Reduce risk

 

 

Evidence linked Wayne Williams, inset above over one of the files in his case, to 22 murders in Atlanta beginning in 1979. The FBI’s involvement began in 1980 following the abduction of a 7-year-old girl.

 

02/07/14

On July 21, 1979, a 14-year-old boy disappeared. Four days later, another teen went missing. Both, it was soon learned, had been killed.

It was the beginning of a shocking series of murders—some 29 in all—that would take place over the next 22 months in Atlanta. The victims were all young African-Americans, and as the death toll mounted, so did fear and tension across the city.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced today that the federal grand jury sitting in Scranton, Pennsylvania, returned an indictment yesterday charging an inmate at the United States Penitentiary at Canaan, Pennsylvania, with allegedly assaulting another inmate with a dangerous weapon and with the intent to commit murder. George Lyle Cullett, Jr., age 55, formerly of California, was charged with the offense. In addition, the Grand Jury returned charges alleging that Cullett conspired with another inmate to commit the attack using sharpened weapons commonly referred to as \”shanks.\” United States Attorney Peter Smith noted that the victim was another inmate who survived the attack but suffered numerous stab wounds which required treatment at a local hospital.

The case was investigated by the FBI and the Special Investigation Section at USP-Canaan.

John C. Johnson DOB 6/17/81), of Paulsboro NJ pleaded guilty today (10/20) to possession of a 38 cal. handgun in Paulsboro on 5/13/12 when he was prohibited from having a gun because of a prior conviction.

With narcotics convictions in 2000 and 2003, \”either one of those, you are aware, make you a certain person not to have weapons?\” Johnson’s lawyer asked him in placing the basis for the guilty plea on the record. Johnson acknowledged his lawyer’s characterization was correct.

\”Even though it is ten years after the convictions, you are still a certain person,\” the lawyer added, to which Johnson also agreed.

In a plea agreement, Senior Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Paul Colangelo will recommend that Johnson be sentenced to five years in New Jersey state prison with no possibility of parole for the entire five years. Sentencing was scheduled 1/16/15. Johnson remains free on $7,500 bail.

Despite its distinct appearance, the Wild Turkey is actually a very close relative of pheasants (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 

Maryland’s fall turkey season will open November 1 and continue through November 8, 2014. Fall turkey hunting is only permitted in Garrett, Allegany, and Washington counties with a bag limit of one turkey of either sex per hunter.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources’ annual turkey survey shows reproduction in 2014 was below the long-term average in western Maryland, which may translate to smaller flocks this fall. Surveys also show that mast, mostly acorns, is abundant in some locations but nearly absent in others. Hunters should remember that these natural food sources can greatly affect turkey behavior and movement, and should scout and hunt accordingly.

Complete turkey hunting regulations, check-in procedures and information on public land hunting opportunities can be found in the 2014-2015 Maryland Guide to Hunting & Trapping issued with each hunting license, or dnr.maryland.gov/huntersguide.

Dear friends,

Confusion surrounding the recent Synod on the Family is evident even on Catholic campuses, where the Truth is taught and lived… or ought to be!

We reported last week on Notre Dame\’s shockingly quick move to provide employee benefits to \”same-sex spouses,\” even though the University says it \”endorses a Catholic view of marriage.\”
