But this is predicated upon the person\’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn\’t an American at all.

We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.\’

Outrage of the Week: San Francisco Bans Guns … for Movie Poster Cops?!

Friday, August 13, 2010

San Francisco is well known for its fog. But while the sunshine sometimes cuts through fog in the atmosphere, one fog that rarely seems to lift is the fog of anti-gun thinking. Twice, the city has tried to ban handguns, and been turned back by court challenges. The city\’s public housing authority also had to be sued to end its ban on gun possession by public housing residents. And the NRA is currently backing a challenge to the city\’s gun storage law, which requires city residents to store their handguns in locked containers or disabled with trigger locks.

She was predeceased by her husbands John G. Polson Jr. & Charles (Art) Nicholls and her sister Rhoda E. Saul.

Emma was born in Camden, N.J. June 6th, 1920. She graduated Gloucester City High School in 1938 where she was an accomplished athlete as a member of the 37’& 38’ championship basketball teams. She also excelled in hockey, swimming and diving. She raised her family in Sewell, N.J. where she was very active in the community, Sewell Boys Club, PTA, and many other civic organizations. She was employed at both New York Ship Building and The Mailing Service.

She remained active throughout her life playing semi-professional basketball, was an award winning bowler with the Women’s Professional Bowling Association. An avid fan of many sports, she loved her home town teams, but baseball and the Phillies were her favorite. She was a fixture on the soccer field encouraging and cheering on both grandsons, from their very first game, through high school and college.

She was a talented seamstress, loved to dance, Play Bridge, play board games and travel. With all her interests, her most pleasurable moments in life were the times she spent with her family and friends.

Friends may join the family in celebrating her life, Wednesday evening, August 18^th , 7- 9 PM at Smith Funeral Home, 47 Main St. Mantua, N.J. and again on Thursday morning, 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM. Mass will be celebrated 10 AM Thursday at the Church of the Incarnation, 240 Main St. Mantua, N.J. Interment will be in Woodbury Memorial Park. Memories and condolences may by shared at www. smithfhmantua.com.

The phone survey included 2,816 randomly-selected registered voters in the First District. Two hundred responses were received from voters in 33 different towns, and the results were compiled and analyzed by graduate students at Rutgers University in Camden. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 7%.

\”Rob Andrews’ support for Obamacare against his constituent’s wishes definitely affected his plummeting poll numbers,\” Glading said. \”Overall, the phone survey proved that there is a major disconnect between Rob and the voters he is supposed to be representing.\”
\”South Jersey residents are ready for a change,\” added Glading. \”Rob has been in Washington for 20 years and voters see him as part of the problem, not part of the solution.\”

\”I promise to be an independent voice for the tax payers of South Jersey,\” Glading concluded, \”and I will seek to return more of their hard-earned money back to them.\”

In the future, similar information will be posted online and offered over the phone for trips along other state highways.

\”Real-time trip information gives New Jersey residents and visitors the ability to avoid or at least limit exposure to roadway congestion by adjusting departure times,\” said Commissioner James Simpson. \”This is just a first step in our plan to use technology to give motorists the tools to better manage their travel plans throughout the state.\”

 Included in those plans were 3000 new homes being constructed by Beazer Home Construction and other well known contractors. Those plans were scrapped because of environment problems that would have taken 10 years or more to fix. In July 2010 the James administration announced a new light industrial plan for this area. ~Bill Cleary

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ-A resident who lives in the 300 unit block of Sylvan Avenue writes, \”Bill, This is what was left behind after collecting yard waste today (Wednesday August 11). You would think the bags could have been placed in the cans that were also dumped. I will clean it up myself, but I think our men in the Gloucester City Highway Department could do better.\”
