CHEERS AND JEERS FOR DECEMBER ‘09

By Bill Cleary

CHEER-In these very troubled times when people are having a tough time keeping a roof $\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef011571114c5a970c-800wi\"$ overhead and food on the table, there have been countless acts of generosity by both groups and organizations as well as individuals to make someone less fortunate have a merry Christmas, it is these acts of selfless kindness towards our fellow human beings in a time of need that renews my faith in both God and mankind, and to all who gave, Thank You.

JEER- Why close the perfectly good state prison in Camden City and then build a very costly new one only about a mile away? Sounds like someone has plans to make big money on the redevelopment of that land. It won\’t shock me to find out that some politicians would profit from this also, if you want the truth in politics, follow the money.

CHEER-Each December the Gloucester City volunteer firemen drive a fire truck with Santa Claus on top handing out candy canes to kids in the community. Even though the ranks of the volunteers have been depleted those that remain continue the tradition. This year members of council along with members of other local organizations came forward to lend the volunteers a hand. Kudos to those involved.

JEER-It was a shock this month to learn that the Camden County Freeholders Board’s is

Lions cut down Delaware Valley 71-61

Box score
Doylestown, PA… The College of New Jersey men’s basketball team used a stifling defensive performance in the first-half to spark a 71-61 win over Delaware Valley College.
The victory snapped a four-game skid pulling the Lions (5-5, 0-2 NJAC) back to the .500 mark.
Senior Jay Frank (Brick, NJ/Brick) had his best game in a month scoring 20 points, dishing out seven assists, and grabbing 6 rebounds. Senior Aaron Syvertsen (Midland Park, NJ/Midland Park) also bucketed 20 points on 9-of-17 shooting.
Head coach Kelly Williams has stressed that his squad needs to play relentless defense for 40 minutes to return to their winning ways. Taking the court for the first game in 17 days, TCNJ did just that as Delaware Valley (5-5, 1-1 MAC) managed just 20 first-half shots while the Lions forced 15 DelVal turnovers. Playing perhaps their best half of the season, TCNJ led 29-18 at the intermission.
A critical component to the Lions defensive game-plan was to contain junior guard James Jones (Philadelphia, PA/Edward Bok Tech). Jones entered the game averaging 18.9 points per game including a 30-point performance in his last contest against Rowan University. TCNJ not only contained James, but nearly eliminated him in the opening period. James was held without a shot until he missed a lay-up with 1:27 remaining. Jones did rebound in the second half to finish with 11 points.

New Jersey: Assembly Judiciary Committee Passes Misleading One-Gun-A-Month Reform Bill!

$\"Email185_banner995\"$
Please Contact your Assembly Person Today!

Today, the New Jersey Assembly Judiciary Committee voted unanimously 6 to 0 to approve S3104/A4361, which was drafted in response to recommendations put forth by the Firearms Task Force created after the midnight passage of New Jersey\’s gun rationing law.

The bill is now scheduled for a vote before the full Assembly on January 7. If passed, it will head to the desk of Governor Corzine (D) for his consideration.

Proponents contend this measure would address the problems with New Jersey\’s \”one-gun-a-month\” law; however, it falls far short. While it would, in limited circumstances, allow a law-abiding person to purchase multiple handguns, an individual would only be able to do so after filing a formal application with the State Police. In addition, the individual would need to justify their \”need\” to purchase these firearms together and why it would not be \”feasible or practical\” to purchase the firearms separately.

The notion that law-abiding citizens, thoroughly investigated by the state, should have to beg further permission and show why it is not \”feasible or practical\” to ration their Constitutional rights is offensive, insulting and represents another promise broken by the politicians involved in the Firearms Task Force.

Please contact your Assembly members and respectfully urge them to remove the language forcing law-abiding citizens who have cleared a background check to justify their multiple purchases. Click here to contact your Assembly member.

A Little Gun-Control History

A LITTLE GUN-CONTROL HISTORY
2009 Dec 31 from Jerry Mores

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1..5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only law-abiding citizens. With guns, we are citizens. Without them, we are subjects.

Switzerland issues every household a gun and trains every adult to use one. Switzerland has the lowest gun-related crime rate of any civilized country in the world. It\’s a no-brainer!

Letters: Better Care Needed for Broadway War Memorial

Bill,

I have been fighting with the City of Gloucester City about the VETERNS MEMORIAL at Broadway and Monmouth Street for a long time about the lighting; the lights are always out. The City representatives tell me they care for it. Yet whenever I check it at night the lights for our great FLAG are always never lit.

I got tired of complaining and purposely waited 5 months until I could not take anymore and went back and complained and it still took 4 more weeks before they changed about $4 WORTH OF LIGHT BULBS.

It seems to me it’s only when a function takes place that the politicians show up so they can get noticed and maybe get their picture in the news.

Those men on those walls gave their life so we can enjoy the freedoms of today. As a war veteran I go to that wall constantly picking up trash and complaining but it fall on deaf ears. The city always finds money for its pet projects are the men on that wall not worth a few light bulbs and a little more care?

And what about my brother MARINE MARK RYAN, the man gave his LIFE and they can\’t keep his monument in the light at night. They tell me they care and take good care of that place but it has been months since MARC’s lights have been on at night. Sometimes those light lights burn all day and yet are out at night. I would urge ALL veterans to always visit the wall and not just drive by these MEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES DESERVE BETTER CARE.

UEZ SPOTLIGHT: Duffy’s Delicious Candies

$\"image\"$ Yes, now there are two favorite candy shops where you may come in to buy all your favorite holiday chocolates and candies. Santa’s assistant candy maker, Mike Hall and his wife Barbara, owners of both shops, are proud of Duffy’s great long-standing reputation for the last 85 years.

The Gloucester City shop is standing in the spot where there once was a Rose Garden located between the house and the store dating back to the 1800’s. Copper bowls, hundreds of molds for creating reindeer, snowmen, Santas, chocolate covered candy cones and other creative products now line the shelves in the kitchen area.

Uncle Robert Duffy taught Mike the fine art of candy making after the Halls’ bought the business. \”You have to have a passion for this type of involvement with chocolate. Science, chemistry and business know-how are a few of the main ingredients. \”It is so rewarding when you know that generation after generation people are enjoying your product. Our customers are like family,\” he said.

Gingerbread houses are put together in the kitchen as well as chocolate bowls that
