Congressman Kim Joins Burlington/Ocean County Schools to Deliver Valentines for Veterans

WASHINGTON, D.C.

(February 14, 2020)––

Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-03)

joined Toms River Regional and North Hanover Schools to participate in Valentines for Veterans, an effort as part of the annual “

Salute a Veteran Patient Week

” to thank New Jersey veterans for their service and remind them of their special place in our

communities.

“Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our country, we owe them our thanks and gratitude,” said Congressman Kim. “It is incredibly inspiring to see students from Toms River and North Hanover come together to provide that thanks to our veterans. I want to thank the Toms River and North Hanover schools for their leadership and initiative. They’ve shown the importance of coming together to support those who served.”

Students from Toms River Regional Schools and the North Hanover Township School District participated in this program, making Valentine’s Day cards for veterans. Congressman Kim delivered these valentines to the VA’s Philadelphia Medical Center to be distributed to local veterans.

“The district is always proud to support our local veterans, especially when doing so highlights the talent and compassion of our students,” said Toms River Regional Schools Superintendent David Healy. “We’re thankful to Congressman Kim and his team for helping facilitate this project, we’re proud of our teachers and students for their work and creativity, and we’re hopeful these cards brighten the days of our veterans in VA facilities throughout the area.”

Congressman Kim has been a vocal proponent for a

new veterans’ health care facility in Ocean County

, and has introduced bipartisan legislation to

protect veterans from VA errors

and help

veterans identify employment opportunities

during their transition to civilian life. More information about Congressman Kim can be found on his website by

The contest served as Senior Day for four-year Scarlet Raptor letterman

Isaac Destin,

who closes out his stellar career Wednesday night when the Scarlet Raptors host Montclair State University at 8 p.m.

NJCU, which entered the day locked in a three-way battle with Rowan and Montclair State to claim the final two spots in the upcoming conference playoffs, improves to 12-12 overall and 9-8 in the NJAC.

Arian Azemi

NJCU increased its margin to seven points (53-46) before Rutgers-Camden scored 11 of the next 15 points, tying the game at 57-57 on a trey by Azemi. NJCU answered, however, on a trey by senior forward Sam Toney, the Gothic Knights’ two-time NJAC Player of the Year. That shot sparked a six-point run that put NJCU ahead to stay.

NJCU led by as many as 23 points (92-69) near the end of the game.

Toney paced four players in double figures for the Gothic Knights, scoring 24 points and barely missing a double-double by ending with nine rebounds. Junior guard Denzel Banks scored 22 and senior forward Jaimik Moore added 18 points and four assists for NJCU. Junior forward Jahmere Calhoun finished with a double-double of 11 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, while also leading both teams with four steals.

Jake Petrik

nailed four treys on his way to 12 points.

Destin and junior forward

Ian McCarthy

both had four assists for the Raptors, tying NJCU’s Moore for game-high honors.

The Gothic Knights shot 35-for-61 from the floor (57.4 percent), including 9-for-19 (47.4) from three-point range. Rutgers-Camden shot 23-for-52 (44.2) overall, including 10-for-23 (43.5) from beyond the arc.

Hunters! Please Remove Temporary Deer Stands from State Wildlife Areas

DOVER (Feb. 12, 2020) – With Delaware’s 2019/20 deer hunting seasons having ended earlier this month, hunters are reminded to remove their portable deer stands from state wildlife areas by Saturday, Feb. 15. Any stands found on wildlife areas after that date will become the property of the Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife.

Hunters may temporarily set up portable stands starting Aug. 1 each year and remove them at the end of the season – doing so with the knowledge that placement of a deer stand on a public wildlife area does not provide exclusive rights to hunting from their stand. Under state wildlife area rules, no parts of portable deer stands can be nailed or bolted to a tree. Hunters are also prohibited from cutting any vegetation or branches to hang a stand or to clear shooting paths on a wildlife area.

For more information, please contact the Division of Fish & Wildlife’s Wildlife Section at 302-739-9912.

Gizmo teaches Municipal Alliances Committee about “A Robot Like Me”

(Deptford, NJ) On Wednesday, Jan. 15 Freeholder Jim Jefferson hosted the Municipal Alliance Appreciation Dinner at Auletto’s Caterers for all of the local Municipal Alliances committee members.  The event included a presentation from special guest Gizmo D. Robot.

Gizmo serves as the host of the “A Robot Like Me” (ARLM) program: a comprehensive Character Education and Anti-bullying program designed for kids in kindergarten through the sixth grade.

Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger said, “We don’t have to treat anti-bullying education as something that is scary or hard to approach, especially with younger kids. Teaching methods such as ARLM make learning about character and how to prevent bullying more fun.”

The ARLM program uses the model of the Presidential Award winning and scientifically validated Million Dollar Machine Program.

Freeholder Jim Jefferson, Liaison to the Department of Health and Human Services, said, “Gizmo has taught millions of students the six pillars of character education and aspects of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program over the span of the program’s 27 years helping students gain the education needed to improve themselves and help others.”

Currently, 23 of the 24 municipalities in Gloucester County participate in the Municipal Alliance, a program funded by The New Jersey Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (GCADA). Municipal Alliances plan and implement prevention programs targeted at alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse that are designed to meet the unique needs of their communities.
