Over the past two and a half years I have had the honor of working with Nick on a few projects. Nick always brings to the table endless energy and knowledge, if he does not know something he will do the needed research. His drive is something that I have not seen in a council member in a long time.

On a breezy, cloudy evening under the lights, the Rams and Lions played a tremendous softball game.

Great pitching and defense were on display before more than 1,000 lively fans enjoying a Saturday night – and occasionally questioning a call or two by the umpires.

The Gloucester Catholic and Gloucester City softball teams are among the five best in South Jersey – and they proved it.

Also, it was an excellent tune-up for both teams before the state playoffs.

Just Kids by Archway Programs currently provides before and after school child care for students throughout various districts in South Jersey.

But, Superintendent Joseph Rafferty advised the Mount Ephraim Board of Education (BOE) that Mary Bray School will be running the before and after school child care in the future. Instead of the revenue leaving the district, it has the potential to decrease the overall tax burden, which could result in lower taxes for residents.

A parent of a second grade student told the School Board that he feels the school is run like a prison due to the limited access parents have to the school, such as not being allowed in the gym for the Halloween parade if it was to have rained that day.
