ROWAN HALTS TCNJ’S CONFERENCE WINNING STREAK AT 20

Ewing, NJ… Rowan University’s Lauren Conner (Egg Harbor Twp., NJ/Egg Harbor Twp.) scored on a penalty stroke with 1:19 left in overtime as the Profs pulled off a 3-2 win over The College of New Jersey field hockey team on Saturday.

The win by the Profs brought an end to TCNJ’s impressive 20-game winning streak against New Jersey Athletic Conference opponents. The last loss for the Lions against a conference opponent came back on October 22, 2005 when they fell 2-1 in overtime at Montclair State. Since then, the Lions boasted three perfect 6-0 seasons in the NJAC and won their first two conference games this season.

Eighth-ranked TCNJ is 6-3 overall and 2-1 in the NJAC, while the 14th-ranked Profs remained unbeaten in conference play at 3-0 and are 7-4 overall.

With time winding down in the first overtime, Conner gave the Profs a win on the penalty stroke putting a low shot into the far corner of the net.

TCNJ set up overtime as freshman Caitlyn Jenkins (Mickleton, NJ/Kingsway) deflected in a shot off of the stick of junior Kellyn Riley (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill West) with 4:35 left in regulation.

In the first half, the Profs got off the early lead as junior Lauren Ross (Gloucester City, NJ/Gloucester) knocked in a feed from Jenna Lombardo (Barnegat, NJ/Southern Regional). That goal came 7:40 into the game.

Letters: Democrat\’s Tax and Spend Policies Continue to Ravage NJ

To the Editor:

The spoils of Democrat Party rule in South Jersey mean the continuation of the $\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef011570df48d6970c-800wi\"$ tax-and-spend policies that have so ravaged the easy living in New Jersey. The incumbent leadership continues its attempts to use eminent domain policy and taxpayer money for capitalistic ventures.

I refer to the latest push to develop a port in Paulsboro. I think such a port development will only lead to higher taxes and few jobs for Paulsboro residents. Look no further than (West Deptford Township’s RiverWinds project) for an example of the pitfalls of a government-run development scheme.

Movie studio planners make $5M pitch

The federal HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development) Section 108 loan allows a community to authorize borrowing up to five times their current year’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation. Norristown’s CDBG allocation is slightly more than $1 million a year.

\”The most important thing is we have created a tremendous number of jobs because of the U.S. Maintenance deal,\” said Charles Gallub, the principal of Develcom, a Bellmawr, N.J., development firm. \”We are contractually obligated to create 450 jobs.\”

Attorney Marcel Groen, representing Develcom, said most of the $5 million loan would be used to build a 50,000-square-foot supermarket to be leased by Pathmark Corp. in a 20-year lease.

Documentary Film Critical of NJ\’s Education System Open this Weekend

From Friday\’s (10/9)Courier Post (http://www.courierpostonline.com)A new documentary film (The Cartel)detailing shortcomings of the New Jersey public education system has won acclamation at local film festivals and is getting a chance to be seen by the public. The film runs about 90 minutes and focuses on several of the 31 Abbott districts — poorer, mostly urban districts, including Camden. \”When money is coming from the state, there is a disconnect between who gives the money and who spends the money. That\’s a waste. You can have 29 percent of that money being wasted, and it doesn\’t enrage people because it\’s coming from the state,\” Bob Bowdon producer.

Bowdon believes Abbott districts spend money wastefully because if they don\’t spend every penny they won\’t get even more money the following year. Gloucester City is an Abbott District and spent $218,000 this year on stadium lights to play four football games under the lights. The district also received Abbott funds to build a $20 million gym constructed three years ago. There was nothing wrong with the old gym except it needed a new floor. Presently Gloucester City School Board is waiting for $67 million from the state to build a Middle School. When the Middle School was first proposed the construction costs was $20 million. Millions were spent by taxpayers to clear the former industrial site of contaminants. The four block area, once the home for 70 families and one neighborhood business, has been sitting vacant for several years now waiting for construction funds from a state that is bankrupt. ~Bill Cleary

When the New Jersey Schools Construction Corporation ran out of money and left a number of school districts in the lurch over schools that had been approved but not yet funded and built, it retooled and re-emerged as the Schools Development Authority.

THE CARTEL OPENS IN THEATERS THIS WEEKEND! The film will screen at AMC theatres in Cherry Hill, Elizabeth, and Menlo Park, and at the Showroom in Asbury Park.For more information, visit www.thecartelmovie.com.

Pet Tip of the Week:Teaching An Old Dog New Tricks

By Dawn Watson

Okay so you just rescued Spot from the local animal shelter. They say he’s about a year old but when you get him to your veterinarian he tells you, Noooooo, he’s about six years old! You can do one of the following things when you’re offered this news:

Get him a cushion and retire him to the corner of the living room and give up on teaching him anything OR
Get him a trainer who is willing to work with an older dog and make him the best dog he can be!

Many times an older dog is capable of an unlimited amount of new behaviors, from sitting up, to polite, on-leash walking, to opening the refrigerator to fetch you a cold one after a hard day’s work! All it takes is a little patience and lots of praise.

Local Girl Scout Troop Needs a Meeting Place

$\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef011570df48d6970c-800wi\"$ My name is Helen John a Girl Scout Leader and Troop Organizer in the town of Gloucester City and a few other towns. We had a round up of girls in September and had a wonderful turn out. I have plenty of leaders, girls and parents willing to help out the problem we have is we have no place to meet.

I have contacted several places and as yet have not heard back. At this point and time I will have 50+ girls in our town that want to be Girl Scouts and learn to live the Girl Scout way which is Building Girls Of Courage Confidence and Character to make the world a better place, with no where for them to meet.

If anyone out there knows of any place for us to go please let me know [email protected] or 856-349-2031

Mayer Team Misleads, Continues to Deflect Responsibility

PRESS RELEASE

Arrogance and Mistruths Know no Bounds,

While \”Say Anything\” Councilman Hutchison Can’t Keep his Stories Straight

The Dave Mayer Team, desperate to deflect attention from their own tax, spend and roadblock record, looks to avoid responsibility for their legally-mandated obligation to approve the Township’s budget.

Their claim that \”Rau-Hatton Raises Taxes Again\” is a bold faced lie.

Carpenter wins MLB\’s Comeback Player of Year Award | American Legion

$\"American$ Image via Wikipedia

Thursday, October 8, 2009

Chris Carpenter, a former American Legion Baseball Graduate of the Year, is the National League recipient of Major League Baseball’s Comeback Player of the Year Award. The St. Louis Cardinals pitcher was recognized for his 17-4 win/loss record and a 2.24 earned run average – lowest in the National League. He played Legion ball for Post 79 in Manchester, N.H.

The Comeback Player of the Year Award is presented annually to a player from each league who has re-emerged from setbacks or statistical slumps. Carpenter, 34, has undergone two major surgeries (including the risky \”Tommy John\” elbow operation) in the past two years. He pitched in only 23 games during those two seasons, but reinvigorated his career in 2009, tossing three complete games and holding opposing hitters to a .226 batting average.

Carpenter was named the American Legion Baseball Graduate of the Year in 2007. The award is presented annually to a Major League Baseball player and Legion baseball alumnus who represents values and qualities upheld by the Legion.
