LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: My Daughter Just Wants To Walk at Graduation

Fifteen years ago, I noticed something different about my two-year-old daughter, Sammy’s walk. She had a noticeable sway in her hips, a little diva move that seemed more cute than concerning. But when she struggled to keep up in gymnastics and dance, we took her to a physical therapist. After months of sessions, the therapist made a quiet suggestion that changed everything: “It would be nice to have a diagnosis.”

That comment launched a journey no parent imagines. After undergoing genetic testing, only possible because we enrolled in a study at the National Institutes of Health, Sammy was diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2I/R9, an ultra-rare muscle-wasting disease.

Letter to the Editor: Dear former President Barack Obama,

During former Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign, you chastised “the brothers” for what you perceived as their reluctance to vote for a black female. You said: “We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”

Did you tell “the brothers” who, for the sake of racial solidarity, you tried to shame into voting for Harris that you only believe in left-wing racial solidarity?

Letter to Ed: Every Democrat Governor is fighting ICE and President Trump

ICE wants to remove hardcore illegal immigrants from our state. Murderers, rapists, drug dealers, child molesters, mental patients, thieves, the drug cartel, and many more thugs. Jack Ciattarelli, as our NJ Governor, will work with ICE and President Trump to clean up our state from these illegal, dangerous invaders.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: The Season Has Begun

The season is here!

No!

Not baseball or football season, but THE POLITICAL SEASON!

Democrat and Republican signs are up, asking people for their votes. Nationwide, only 28 percent of people consider themselves strong Republicans or Democrats who vote straight down party lines.

Forty-eight percent of people vote not for the party, but for the candidate.

For 45 of the last 48 years, the Gloucester City Democratic Party has controlled the City Council. This has posed a danger to our democracy. Lacking checks and balances isn’t good for our community.

In Gloucester City, I’ve always believed our greatest asset is the good people who live here. Many of them prefer not to get involved in petty local politics that prioritize the party over the people.

It is what it is!

As I look out my window, I see city workers mowing the lawn on the corner lot owned by the city for the first time in several months. Yes, the political season has begun.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Muslim Religion is Inudating the USA

The Muslim religion is the fastest-growing religion per capita in the United States, especially among minority races. Last month I attended the training. During the training session, three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Muslim faiths gave presentations, each explaining their respective beliefs.

Letter to the Editor

Former Gloucester City Mayor Robert S. Bevan

(Independent) released a statement on Monday, May 11, 2025, calling for the end of Gloucester City’s part-time City Administrator role and for the position to be filled with a full-time administrator. Bevan stated that the city administrator position was created in 1987 when the Independent Party held the majority. Due to the sudden departure of City Administrator Jack Lipsett, Police Chief Brian Morrell was appointed as the temporary city administrator by former City Mayor Daniel Spencer, five years ago, at the end of December 2020. Lipsett was named administrator in 2008.
