The Bellmawr Board of Education honored a budding young author at their recent meeting.

Member Jeff Brickner presented the September Board Award to Ethel Burke School Second Grader Shohag Kabir.

He wrote the book \”Mice and Squirrel\” on his own, apparently inspired by his extremely proud father, who himself is a writer.

Young Kabir got the idea for the book when he saw the animals chasing one another in a dream.

Gloucester City Council on Thursday, October 1 approved an amendment to an ordinance pertaining to the regulation of employee salaries.

One employee, Michael DePalma, has been designated to perform several tasks, including acting as the construction code official, plumbing sub code official, and plumbing inspector.

City Councilman Nicholas Marchese said this action will save at least $8,000 by combining the positions instead of having individuals serving in the different posts.

The approximate yearly salary of $20,000 will be paid for the part-time position of three days a week.
