GLOUCESTER CITY-Neither the Highland nor Gloucester Catholic high school football teams were pleased heading into halftime of their Tri-County Conference Royal Division contest with zeroes on the scoreboard, despite the fact that on the surface there was little to play for beyond the win itself.

The Rams found their purpose and came out with new life in the second half, and the Tartans were just left searching.

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) fights daily for your rights to enjoy the outdoors. Of course, we can\’t and have not accomplished this alone. We have been blessed with a legion of volunteers who have stepped to the plate to fight for their rights. As the threats to our heritage mount, so is our need for help.

That is why we are looking for new field volunteers to represent us at the local level. These volunteers are called Local Field Directors (LFD) and experience is not needed, just a strong desire to represent the outdoor lifestyle.

LFDs work to promote the USSA in their local areas and states. Beyond getting their expenses covered and a small stipend, LFDs represent the front line in our fights and in our efforts to bring new sportsmen into the field. They conduct club visits, help to rally sportsmen when major issues come up, work booths at local shows and fairs and assist with other local USSA projects.

The LFD program also plays a key role in the coordination of Trailblazer Adventure Day programs around the country. Trailblazer has introduced over 900,000 youth and their families to an outdoor lifestyle of shooting, hunting, fishing and trapping since launching in 2001.

LFDs who meet criteria will be invited to a national training meeting to be held in early 2010.

If you want to get on the front lines to promote and defend our heritage, The USSA needs YOUR help. For more information, contact Frank Price at [email protected] or call 614-888-4868 x 202.

Help keep America’s Outdoor Heritage alive!

Annapolis, Md.  — The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) invites young hunters to participate in Maryland’s 15th Junior Deer Hunt day on Saturday, November 14, 2009.

Firearms hunting for white-tailed and sika deer will be open to hunters age 16 and younger who are accompanied by an unarmed, licensed (or exempt from license requirement) adult who is at least 21.

\”Junior deer hunt day is dedicated to mentoring young people in the traditions of hunting and promoting an appreciation of our natural resources,\” said Pete Jayne, DNR Wildlife and Heritage Service Associate Director for Game Management. \”The day provides an opportunity for experienced adult deer hunters to pass on the knowledge and skills required for safe, effective and ethical hunting.\”

All hunters participating are required to pass a hunter education course. The Maryland hunter education course includes instruction and testing in safety, hunter responsibility, firearms handling and the principles of wildlife management.

Successful junior deer hunters are encouraged to visit one of Maryland’s junior hunter certificate agents to receive a special certificate for any deer they harvest. This certificate is available to successful junior hunters during any of the Maryland deer hunting seasons.

Participating certificate agents, as well as complete bag limits, season dates, deer registration procedures and other information, can be viewed at www.dnr.maryland.gov/huntersguide.

The Maryland Guide to Hunting & Trapping 2009-2010 issued with each hunting license contains detailed information about all of Maryland’s hunting seasons.

To celebrate National Adoption Day, which is Saturday, November 21, the Camden County Surrogate’s Court sponsors three events, two expos on adoption, open to the public, and one event, in conjunction with the Superior Court, to celebrate adoptive families by finalizing 200 hundred adoptions in a single day, followed by lunch and dessert served by the Surrogate’s office and the judges and the staff of Superior Court.

Camden County surrogate, Patricia Jones, says these events help to underscore the importance of adoptions as well as celebrating adoptions with the families.

For the last four years, the Camden County Surrogate’s Court has sponsored an Adoption Expo at the Cherry Hill Mall and the Mall at Voorhees Town Center.

It will take place at Cherry Hill Mall on Saturday, November 14th in the Grand Court from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., and at The Mall at Voorhees Town Center on Sunday, November 15th in Boscov’s Court from noon-3 p.m.

Representatives from the NJ Department of Children and Families and a host of private adoption agencies will be on hand to distribute literature, answer questions and tell people why adoption works, and how to begin the process.

On Friday, November 20, the Camden County Surrogate’s Court will celebrate National Adoption Day by finalizing the adoptions of a number of children in a single day. Between 25-35 families are expected to attend. Adoptions reflect adoptions of babies to older children and teens who have been in foster care.

The Surrogate will host a luncheon from noon- 1p.m. for all families, agency representatives, attorneys and judicial staff. The families will then move to the Hall of Justice for a dessert reception in the Jury Assembly Room on the lower level.

The Surrogate’s Office gives all the children who attend books. The Superior Court justices give all the children teddy bears and certificates.

Surrogate Jones, Superior Court Judge Charles Rand who is the presiding judge of the Family Division of Superior Court, and Judges Octavia Melendez and Charles W. Dortch, Jr. are leaders in this annual event. Judge Melendez was a lawyer at DYFS before becoming a Superior Court judge.

GLOUCESTER CITY
The Holy Cross field hockey team accomplished something on Friday afternoon no other team has done this season: Beat Gloucester. The Lancers got the 1-0 upset victory over host Gloucester, as the only shot they took in the second half found its way into the goal cage in a Central Jersey Group 1 semifinal.

Marissa DePativo took a feed from Kathleen Walsh and tipped it into the left corner of the goal cage with 17:09 left in the game and the lone score held up as fourth-seeded Holy Cross earned the victory over top-seeded Gloucester, which ends the season at 18-1-1.

Despite marginal weather conditions most of the week, our harvest range of 60-85 bears was met in four days. The hunt remains a safe, effective, well-regulated and scientifically sound tool for sustainably managing our bear population.\”

 

Spiker added, \”The new permit application preference point system proved effective this year. More than 3,600 hunters applied for one of the 240 available bear hunting permits and 81% of the permits were awarded to applicants with one or more preference points\”.

TCNJ OPENS 2009-10 SEASON IN HISTORIC FASHION

Ewing, NJ… The College of New Jersey wrestling team started their season off with a 53-0 win over visiting Norwich University on Saturday, but its impact of the victory was felt by every former Lion to don a singlet as the program reached a pair of prestigious milestones.

The win was the 600th dual meet win in program history making TCNJ the 28th collegiate program to reach that mark at any level. The win was doubly important as veteran head coach David Icenhower became only the fourth coach in NCAA history to garner 500 career wins.

If you’re like most dog owners you’ve learned to hang out mainly with other dog owners. It just makes life simpler when you have guests that don’t mind flying fur, slobbered-on shoes, and a well-sniffed crotch. However once in awhile you may have to invite dear old Aunt Miriam and Uncle Norman over for a family get-together so teaching Fido to be polite is a must-do.

Here are some simple rules to follow so that Fido can adapt his behavior in time for the holidays:

• Your dog must always sit before anyone pets him.
• It’s best for your dog to have access to more private areas of the house so he can relax without being constantly mauled by well-meaning guests.
• Place a small bucket of treats by the front door. Label it, \”Dog in training. Please take a treat, tell Fido to sit, then give him the treat.\”
• Protect your dog from unruly children. (Crate children if necessary).
• Teach your dog the \”Leave it\” command. If you don’t know that command give me a call and I’ll walk you through it.
• Include a warning on your invitations. Guests would rather know you have a dog than be surprised. Something like, \”No panty-hose allowed\”, or, \”Please bring a lint brush\” will be enough information for most people.

With a bit of practice Fido can become a real party animal. And speaking of parties, remember to stop in to Brother of the Wolf on Saturday, November 14 at 10 AM. We’ll be partying with the Mayor of Gloucester City and Droopy Dawg at our grand opening. There will be snacks, coffee, and discounts offered on our upcoming classes so don’t miss out on the fun!

As always, Cleary’s Notebook encourages commentary so if you have questions please ask. Next week’s topic will be about mastering the polite, on-leash walk.

Feel free to call me at 856-349-2508 or email me at [email protected] if you have questions about your dog. There is never a fee for a phone or email consultation!

Wado, udohiyu, (thank you very much, in the Cherokee language)
