Wawa has partnered with Garnet Valley Middle School in Pennsylvania and P.S. duPont Middle School in Delaware, where both classes visited the test kitchen and applied what was learned to developing their own recipes. GVMS debuted Chicken and Waffles in September 2019, and P.S. duPont will announce its recipe in March 2020. It’s now time to offer this opportunity to students in New Jersey.

“Wawa is proud to continue its commitment to the community by inviting local students into our test kitchen to have a hands-on, innovative experience as they explore potential careers in food science, said Mike Sherlock, Chief Product Marketing Officer. This program enables us to fulfill lives in new ways by sharing our values and commitment to quality food, while enriching the curriculum of our local schools.”

About Wawa, Inc.

Wawa, Inc., a privately held company, began in 1803 as an iron foundry in New Jersey. Toward the end of the 19th Century, owner George Wood took an interest in dairy farming and the family began a small processing plant in Wawa, PA in 1902. The milk business was a huge success, due to its quality, cleanliness and “certified” process. As home delivery of milk declined in the early 1960s, Grahame Wood, George’s grandson, opened the first Wawa Food Market in 1964 as an outlet for dairy products. Today, Wawa is your all day, every day stop for freshly prepared foods, beverages, coffee, fuel services and surcharge-free ATMs. A chain of more than 860 convenience retail stores (over 600 offering fuel), Wawa stores are located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Florida and Washington, D.C. The stores offer a large fresh foodservice selection, including Wawa brands such as custom prepared hoagies, freshly-brewed coffee, hot breakfast sandwiches, specialty beverages and an assortment of soups, sides and snacks. In 2018, Wawa was recognized in Forbes as one of The Best Employers for New Grads and one of The Best Employers for Women, and as the Top-Rated Workplace for Veterans by Indeed. In 2019, Wawa was designated by Forbes as a Best Employer for Diversity.

Gloucester Township Police Department Is Now Using Neighbors By Ring

To Connect With Residents and Solve Crime

Sign up for Neighbors by Ring and connect with GTPD!

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ (January 18, 2020)–GTPD is encouraging all residents to sign up with Neighbors by Ring. You do not need a Ring device to sign up and you will be able to communicate with neighbors in your area. You will have the ability to post and view video of crimes and suspicious activity.

We have listed frequently asked questions about the Neighbors App below:

How does the Neighbors App work?

The Neighbors App uses your address to create a radius around your home. If anyone shares an alert on the App about crime or safety within that radius, you’ll get a notification on your phone and tablet. Conversely, if you share an alert on the App about a crime or safety issue in your radius, your neighbors will also get a notification on their phones and tablets. You can then comment on these alerts to provide additional information about local issues, give tips to avoid affected areas, share photos or videos to help neighbors stay on the lookout, etc.

You can narrow your radius to only focus on hyper-local issues. Or if you live in a more rural location, you can expand your radius to include nearby communities and landmarks.

Do I need a Ring device to use the Neighbors App?

No. Anyone with a compatible iOS or Android device can download and use the Neighbors App for free to help reduce local crime.

How does the Neighbors App work with law enforcement?

Neighbors partners with local law enforcement so they can share official, important crime and safety updates and work together with their local community to build trust and make neighborhoods safer.

When using Neighbors, law enforcement see the same interface that all users see; the content is the same, the exact locations of posts are obfuscated, and the user’s personal identity is not displayed.

There are two key differences, though: 1) law enforcement can view public posts from within their jurisdiction (instead of just their ‘neighborhood’) and 2) law enforcement posts are identified so users can clearly see that they are the source of the content. This means that posts or comments made by law enforcement are clearly marked with their official title and name.

Law enforcement can only view the publicly available content in the Neighbors App, unless a user explicitly and voluntarily chooses to share their own recordings with law enforcement. Exact locations of devices and user information are never provided to law enforcement without a user’s express permission or a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us.

Law enforcement can request information from users within their jurisdiction.Law enforcement must reference a relevant case number in order to make a request within a specific, limited time range and area. Ring will then ask a targeted group of users in that area if they are willing to share any relevant footage with law enforcement. It’s then up to the user to share their video file(s) or decline the request. Users can also opt out of all future requests by law enforcement. Again, Ring will not release user information without a user’s express permission or a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us.

Camera systems help deter package theft. If a theft occurs and you have video footage, we encourage residents to report the incident immediately to the police department and use the neighbors app to let surrounding neighbors know what occurred.

The Past President of Newell Rubbermaid Sentenced for Tax Fraud

Defendant admitted to traveling to Canada to withdraw funds from Swiss bank account at ATMs to avoid detection

PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney William M. McSwain announced that Jeffrey Cooley, 66, of Toledo, OH was sentenced to one month incarceration, 12 months’ supervised release, and a $210,000 fine by United States District Court Judge Joshua D. Wolson for filing a false tax

return which reported that Cooley had purchased an offshore trust company years after he actually did in order to evade paying appropriate taxes.

Cooley served as global president of Newell Rubbermaid from 1998 to 2004. Sometime in or around 2005, after his retirement, Cooley and others purchased an offshore trust company named Southpac Trust (BVI) Limited, an asset protection company that owned and operated a bank in the Cook Islands. According to the charges in this case, Cooley’s 2012 tax return falsely reported that he had purchased Southpac in 2012, when in fact he had co-owned it continuously through nominee entities since 2005.

On October 3, 2019, Cooley pleaded guilty. In addition to the charged conduct, Cooley admitted that, after purchasing Southpac in 2005, he established an offshore bank account in Switzerland in the name of a nominee entity which allowed him to covertly receive his income from Southpac and its subsidiaries. Cooley received more than $300,000 of income into this Swiss account. In addition, in order to access these funds covertly, Cooley traveled from his home in the United States across the border into Canada multiple times to withdraw funds in cash via debit cards. Cooley no longer owns or holds any interest in Southpac.

“This case is an example of sheer greed,” said U.S. Attorney McSwain. “Cooley was already wealthy through his earnings as the president of a globally recognized company, but that simply wasn’t enough for him. Instead, he felt the need to cheat in order to line his pockets through fraud. He invested in a company and then went to great lengths to hide that investment so he wouldn’t have to pay his fair share of taxes. That was an intolerable affront to every honest American taxpayer.”

“Every American who pays his or her taxes should be offended that a select few use anonymous offshore accounts to evade their tax liability,” said Guy Ficco SAC, IRS Criminal Investigation. “We owe it to every American taxpayer to use all lawful means to identify and prosecute individuals, like Mr. Cooley, who willfully and intentionally violate their known legal duty to pay their fair share of taxes.”

The case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation and by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Patrick J. Murray and by First Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams.

EFF to Argue In NJ Supreme Court; Can you be made to Turn Over Password to Encrypted iPhone?

Trenton, New Jersey—On Tuesday, January 21, at 1 pm, EFF Senior Staff Attorney Andrew Crocker will ask the New Jersey Supreme Court to rule that the state can’t force a defendant to turn over the passcode for his encrypted iPhone under the Fifth Amendment, which protects American’s rights against self-incrimination.

The Fifth Amendment states that people cannot be forced to incriminate themselves, and it’s well settled that this privilege against self-incrimination covers compelled “testimonial” communications, including physical acts. However,

courts

have

split

over how to apply the

Fifth Amendment

to compelled decryption of encrypted devices.

EFF, ACLU, and ACLU of New Jersey filed a brief in the case

State v. Andrews

arguing that the state can’t compel a suspect to recall and use information that exists only in his memory to aid law enforcement’s prosecution of him.

At Tuesday’s hearing, Crocker will tell the court that reciting, writing, typing or otherwise reproducing a password from memory is testimony protected by the Fifth Amendment.

Gary G Watermasysk, Brooklawn Volunteer Fireman, Zoning Board Member

On January 16th, 2020, Gary G. Watermasysk, age 68, passed away from this earth while surrounded by his family. He was predeceased in death by his parents, Stanley and Dorothy (Sing) Watermasysk, and his siblings Stanley, Russell and Dorothy. Gary is survived by his

four children Scott (Beata), Mark (Kim), Keith (Kristen), and Kristi-Lynn; his grandchildren Kylie, Kollin, Kendal, Kelsey, Jason, Emily, Kaylee, Caleb, Zachary, and Sophia; the mother of his children and friend Sandy Sheehan; and life-long friends Don and Kathy Ellis.

Gary was born on October 28th, 1951, at Audubon Hospital. He was the youngest of his siblings and spent the vast majority of his life living in Gloucester City and Brooklawn. He worked for A&P Food Markets, Fleming Foods, and retired from Wonder Bread. He served as a lifetime fireman for Brooklawn Volunteer Fire Company, where he also held several leadership positions during his tenure there. Gary served on the Zoning Board for both Brooklawn and Gloucester City. Without a doubt, Gary’s life passion was his children and grandchildren. As great of a dad, as he was, he was an even better Pop-pop. He would do anything for his family and was often found cheering them on from the sidelines of every sport or activity they had. He would spend full days hopping between games to see his kids or grandchildren play. Gary instilled his dedication to his family in each of his children and grandchildren. Gary was known for being genuine, caring, helpful, funny, and kind; however, his sarcasm and quick-witted nature will be remembered fondly. If there was a joke to be made, you could count on Gary to make it right up until his last moments. Gary loved to travel with his family and was able to go to places such as Switzerland to visit his son, Disney more times than we could count, and cruises to various beautiful locations. He was also an avid Philadelphia sports fan and was thrilled to see the Eagles pull off a Super Bowl win!

His loving family and friends will forever remember Gary. He did not want us to be sad, so his family asks that anyone who can share a funny or happy memory of him, please do so. He wasn’t a fancy person and did not want a lot of fuss made over him. For those joining us for his celebration of life, please feel free not to be too fancy as well. For those interested in doing so, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) 1415 Rt. 70, #311 Cherry Hill, NJ 08034

www.jdrf.org

as Gary longed for a cure to Type 1 Diabetes for his grandson. To all reading this- please spend time with your family, take a vacation or share a laugh in his honor. Those are the things Gary enjoyed most, and that is how we will all remember him.

Relatives, friends, firefighters and neighbors are invited to join Gary’s family on Saturday morning, January 25, 2020 between 10:00 am and 12:30 pm at Creran Celebration Etherington & Creran Funeral Homes 700 Powell St. Gloucester City where a funeral and remembrance ceremony will begin at 12:30 pm. #crerancelebration #heartfelt

CONNECT 2020

Take the Connect 2020 Biking and Walking Survey

Help Improve Biking and Walking in Collingswood and Haddon Township

Collingswood and Haddon Township are working on a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The goal is to develop a bicycle and pedestrian network that helps to further connect the two communities, with a specific focus on travel to the Haddon Avenue corridor.

The plan will identify strategies and improvements that will help to create a safe and comfortable multimodal network between Collingswood and Haddon Township that balances the needs of everyone – pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit riders, people with disabilities, seniors and children. It will maximize multimodal connections for visitors, commuters and residents to assets including NJ Transit bus connections, the PATCO Speedline, The Camden County Spine Trail, various public park trails, the Camden Greenway and the Circuit Trails of Greater Philadelphia. The project team is hosting two public meetings to kick off the project and also is soliciting public feedback from visitors and residents via a survey and interactive mapping exercise.
